A Bro's Life (AGG-ish Anime Bro Quest)

"Who did it?"

Those are the first three words Yamato says to you after he and Yameko return to the dorm room, and find you punching three pillows stacked ontop of each other.

You look up at your brother and give a weak smile, "Hey, bro. How'd your da-"

"Who did it?" your brother asks again tossing his backpack onto his bed and walking towards you.

"What are you talking about?"

You stand up, him stopping mere inches away from your face as he stares you down. He speaks in a tone that you're not used to when it comes to your brother, one of seriousness and drive, "You've found something at home to punch for stress relief three times before now. Each time it was because you were upset over something that had happened to someone else because of your actions. Each of those times, it was because someone else did something bad to you that you couldn't directly solve with a fistfight. Going off that data, this is no different. Who did it?"

...Ok, your glad your brother is looking after you, but does he really have to remember things like that? In numerical amounts?

You sigh and shake your head, "A little asshole named Satoshi Yunagi from my Martial Arts Club." You explain everything that happened, including the Confinement Order given to you and Hose.

"Son of the CEO of Mondo Circuits. Yameko, procure my laptop."

"At once Yamato-sama," your brother takes a seat on his bed while his Kitsune Partner grabs his laptop with her tails. She places it in his lap and sits next to your brother, who scratches her twitching ears as praise before focusing on his computer. The fury with which he taps away at his keyboard makes you slightly fear that he'll break it.

"What is Lord Yamato doing?" Yato asks you while your brother types away.

"I'm not sure," you admit, "But it's probably to help me. Which you don't have to do-"

"Found something," the briefest of gleams comes from his eye as he admits this, "I've checked all the public records for Mondo Circuits. Even accounting for business expenses, the amount of profit they made this Yearly Quarter doesn't add up. They should've been down seven billion yen in profit, but are instead up fifteen billion yen in profit. There are many possible reasons for this, but they all lead back to one conclusion: They're laundering money."

"Wait," you sit down next to your bro and look at his screen...which you can't make heads or tails of due to all the...everything right there in front of you. But you get the gist of it, "Isn't that illegal?"

"Yes."

"Then, shouldn't we tell someone in the government about this?"

"No," he says quickly, "They might be compromised or bribed by Mondo. The better idea would be to send this information to their rivals. If they can apply enough pressure, Mondo won't be able to get away easily and could even have their company completely bought out at risk of a scandal and severe stock drop."

"...Wouldn't it be easier to simply confront this Yunagi and physically punish him?" Yato says aloud, clearly not understanding what is happening.

Yameko chuckles while leaning against Yamato's shoulder, "The talking museum piece can't comprehend defeating your enemy with anything other than brute force? How expected."

"If you wish a demonstration, fox, I'd be happy to show you," Yato starts to materialize on your arms as he says this, to which Yameko responds with a playful swipe through the air.

"Yato, cut it out."

"Yameko, please cease antagonizing Yato."

"As you say," the fact that the two of them said that in unison doesn't seem to register to them.

"So, what does this mean, exactly?" you ask your bro, still kind of confused.

"It means that I could severely hurt Mondo Circuits, unless Yunagi pushes his father to get the school to rescind both your and Hose's Confinement. Or I could simply punish the corporation by completely ruining their business and making Yunagi lose everything."

Your brother goes silent for a few minutes. Before long you catch on to what he's waiting for; Your input.

Because this is still your problem. While he wants to help you with it, he won't act if you don't want him to. Hmm, you do want to get back at Yunagi...but the question is should you? What takes precedent here? Getting the Confinement undone for Hose and you, or making that punk pay for what he did?

[] You just want that Confinement gone. Contact Yunagi, and let's see if you can get him to back off.

[] Let's see how much of a brat this guy is when he doesn't have daddy's money anymore. Release the information to their rivals and watch his whole live burn.

[] No, you gotta be rational about this. Contact Yunagi and tell him you want to make a deal. And to show your serious, leak just enough information to not have it turn into a scandal and still severely hurt the stock of his company.

[] Have your bro hold for now. You need some time to think about this.
