Fun read. Thanks as always, Levander!

While a really good story, the employment of Sekibanki in the beginning feels like a wasted red herring.

True. I suppose it's just a nod to Opagi's other work like Shoutoku Coin where Banki is also seen working at Kasen's restaurant (don't ask where the restaurant came from), but that whole element disappears from the story after the first few pages and wasn't strictly necessary to begin with.

That being I said, this story is one of my favorites too. There's not a lot of SFW Opagi stuff out there, but for one reason or another I really love what I've seen.
