Lost Judgment/The Kaito Files: Chapter 2

Like Father, Like Son (, Musuko, Lit. "Son") is the second chapter of the Lost Judgment add-on "The Kaito Files".
== Plot ==
16 years ago. Kaito is a Lieutenant of the Matsugane Family. Following a call asking for his presence at the office, he rushes over. He arrives, and a fellow member tells him a woman is making a fuss. Kaito sees Maho Natsume on the floor, and her sister Mikiko Natsume holding Hotta in an armlock. Maho had amassed a large bill which she could not settle at a Matsugane-owned host club, and Mikiko arrives after Maho was told to work at a cabaret club to pay the bill. The member then passes cabaret duties to Kaito. Hotta states Mikiko come out of nowehere, but Mikiko states she had to intervene.
Kaito decides to look around the room for clues. The plants do not have any helpful smells, while a yakuza is mumbling about hiding something behind the plate diagonally across the room from the Patriarch's chamber, which is a bottle of sake. Other members are not aware of what happened. Maho's Buttons are out of place, indicating Hotta grabbed her by the collar to intimidate her, as is expected from him. On the floor there Kaito is initially standing, a Resume is found turned over. Kaito can smell out a Box of Sweets from under a nearby desk. Hotta states Mikiko entered the office while discussions for Maho's work were underway, and demanded to see the patriarch.
With his investigation complete, Kaito pieces together the information he was able to find: Mikiko initially came to negotiate, as proven by the Box of Sweets, and Maho's Buttons indicate negotiations fell through after Hotta violently grabbed Maho's blouse, prompting Mikiko to put Hotta in an armlock. Mikiko compliments Kaito's detective skills, to which he states he may become one if he leaves the yakuza. Mikiko then adds that she never intended to leave Maho's debt unpaid; as Maho is a college student, she cannot become a hostess, so Mikiko is offering to bay the debt in Maho's place, as her office work schedule allows her to work as a hostess during the night.
Mikiko climbed the hostess ranks quick due to her tenacity, and would punish bad customers herself. If the situation got out of hand, Kaito would step in. On one such night, Kaito is on a call with Higashi, explaining Mikiko's circumstance and how the boss approved the swap. Outside Club Amour, Mikiko pushes out a customer who touched her fellow hostess Momoko. The yakuza in the club surround Mikiko, prompting Kaito to hang up and dropkick one of them to start a fight.
Six enemies are present for the fight, one of which has one boss health bar and can use deadly attacks. After the fight, Mikiko apologizes for getting rough, but Kaito reassures her.
In the present, Kaito and Jun have arrived at the YDA. Jun immediately notes the dirty state and the lack of yakuza decorations. After taking a seat, Kaito begins asking questions.
*Ask about his mom: Jun never saw Mikiko as someone who would commit suicide, even though the DNA test proved the corpse was hers. Jun suspects both the suicide and DNA test were faked, and cannot contact her family due to needing to hide. Mikiko ran her own café and had little issue. Though she had enemies and people wanting to buy her café out, the possibility of someone wanting her dead is low.
*Doubt that he's your son: An entry in Mikiko's diary from 15 years ago, written right after the breakup, states her indecision on wanting to keep "it," which Jun is sure is referring to him as a fetus. He also thinks Sadamoto was someone who would marry Mikiko knowing she was pregnant at the time.
Jun states his mother was the kind of person who would help the weak, sometimes almost getting into fights in front of her family. Jun gives a watch as compensation for Kaito's work. He says he stole it from his father and can be sold for around ¥20,000,000. Though Kaito doubts it, a quick search proves Jun correct. He then leaves to go search for Mikiko after reprimanding Jun for stealing something expensive. Kaito and Jun decide to start with a place Mikiko used to frequent: Café Alps.
In the café, Kaito recalls that the last time he was there with Mikiko, Maho had just graduated from college. 15 years ago, Maho is being congratulated for getting a job at a bank thanks to her foster parents knowing the board of directors. Mikiko is warning Maho about being more careful, as she has a stalker and had fallen for a pyramid scheme. The Natsume parents tap on the glass outside, and Kaito is understanding of their disapproval of his relationship with Mikiko, as he is yakuza, but Maho states she will get them to be more accepting.
Back in the present, Kaito and Jun decide to ask around for Mikiko. The patrons do not know anything, but the clerk directs Kaito to the manager, who is in the break room. The manager is asleep and will not wake up. In the room, a megaphone is on top of some boxes near the door, but before using it, Kaito must hear that the manager has active earphones in, and take them out. Afterwards, Kaito yells into the microphone to wake up the manager. The manager states he has not seen Mikiko recently, but remembers her standing up for him against bad customers.
Jun can be heard yelling from the café. A yakuza has lit a cigarette in the presence of an infant, which Jun is demanding the man to extinguish. When the man tries to attack, Jun puts him in an armlock, which Kaito recognizes as one of Mikiko's moves. He steps in, and the Aragaki Brothers step outside to fight Kaito. They each have one boss health bar. After the two run away, Jun confirms he learned from Mikiko. The manager thanks the two for taking care of the problem, and tells them he saw a woman wearing sunglasses looking like Mikiko ten days prior. Mikiko would bring a friend, Momoko, with her.
The two head to the Champion District to find Momoko's bar and get answers from her. On the way, Jun asks how one can become a yakuza, but Kaito tells him to not consider that, as anti-yakuza laws prevent them from being part of society. Two punks Jun had previously beat for harassing a homeless man find him. One of them pulls out a knife, causing Jun to faint, while the other equips a stun gun. The knife-wielding thug has one boss health bar, while the other thug has a regular one.
After the two are beaten, Kaito wakes up Jun and asks why he passed out. Jun tells him he has a strong fear of knives after an incident with his father. When Jun was told not to touch his father's knife collection, he did so anyway, prompting Sadamoto to lightly cut his arm and draw blood to show that knives are not to be played with. They then find Momoko and talk to her. She did not hear from Mikiko, but states Mikiko likely never forgave herself for Maho's death in an arson attack along with her parents. After the incident, Mikiko changed and was determined to get revenge. Her revenge was denied, as Maho's stalker - who had started the fire - hung himself after getting caught, causing Mikiko to fall into depression. Momoko then suggests visiting Kamuro Theater for clues, as Kaito and Mikiko treasured that location.
The two ask around. The men in the smoking room suggest asking the clerk at M Side Cafe. The clerk directs them to the janitor for more information, as she remembers faces very well, and is on the roof. At the garden, they hear a little girl call for "Miki-chan." When they ask, she states Miki-chan is her cat, who is missing and being searched for by the janitor in the Millennium Tower.
Miki is found in the Millennium Tower, on a bar near the curved windows. Kaito brings down the cat by flying the drone near it after talking to Jun and remembering Yagami had left it with him. With the car rescued and reunited with the girl, Kaito and Jun ask the janitor of Mikiko, and she recalls seeing a man looking for Mikiko 1.5 years prior. She is unable to recall more details and states she will look in the drawers in her home. Kaito gives her a business card to contact him, and then the two return to the office.
As they leave Kamuro Theater, however, they are confronted by Bato Detective Agency goons. Jun states they have been following him for a day now. Kaito refuses Senda's demand to hand over Jun, and fights the Bato Detectives. Kaito now face six enemies including Senda. Senda has two boss health bars and has the ability to use deadly attacks. They are all barehanded except for one enemy who has a baton. 
Though the detectives are defeated, Igarashi is holding a knife to Jun's neck, preventing Kaito from taking action. Kaito is hit from behind as Jun is taken away by car. Kaito decides to check the BDA office for clues. He sees several boxes and deduces they are changing offices. 
From a cabinet, he hears a smart key buzzing with the Skill Book "A Swordsman's Teachings: Part One" next to it, while the scent near an ashtray leads him to a pack of cigarettes. Two plants can be smelled, but they do not give any leads. On a desk near the large table is a phone. On the floor next to a chair is a piece of paper with a number, which is for a hostess named Kirara from La Campanella. Next to the phone is a whiteboard with another number, this one for Kyushu No. 1 Star. Behind the large desk is a box which can be inspected to find the Moving Company's Phone Number. Kaito fools the answerer into giving him their new address, which is on Senryo Avenue.
Upon arriving, Kaito recognizes the building as KJ Art, the Kyorei Clan's former hideout. He then decides to sneak into the building. He overhears a guard saying he will check on the kid upstairs, leaving a single guard on the bottom floor. One Bronze Plate, one Silver Plate, and one Hardcore Magazine can be found on 1F. On 2F, Kaito can hear someone in the northwest room, and he knocks him out using the door. A Binding, a Divine Water, and a Wristband are present on this floor. The guard from earlier is patrolling 3F. After knocking him out, Kaito can smell someone smoking behind the roof staircase door. On 4F, two doors have a person behind them. The northwest door has a sleeping man and a Gold Plate, with cans to alert him if they are touched. Behind the wooden door in a guard that Kaito knocks out using the door, and a Key from the Bato Hideout. On the lower section of the outer staircase is one Toughness Z, while on the upper section is a locked door which is unlocked using the key. On 5F is one BOSS Light Sugar and one guard. Reaching the double door completes the stealth section.
Kaito finds Jun and unbinds hum just as Senda enters the room. Senda calls ex-Omi Alliance patriarch Fudo Oshikiri to dispose of Kaito. Fudo and Kaito fight one-on-one, with Fudo having three health bars and the ability to use deadly attacks. Usable weapons nearby are chairs, boxes, and a desk. Kaito is victorious, but Fudo does not stand down. However, he does not continue the fight, either. After seeing Jun praise his apparent father Kaito, Fudo is reminded of his own son, and leaves because he does not want to ruin another family. The remaining Bato agents point guns at Kaito. Jun asks Kaito to meet him at the Yoshida Batting Center, then escapes through the window.
As Kaito makes his way to the Batting Center, he notices a tail. He goes to a building and equips a disguise to shake off the tail. At the Batting Center, Kaito reprimands Jun for his reckless actions, saying he could have gotten killed, but Jun states he is safe because they need him alive. Tired of Jun's antics causing trouble, Kaito looks for Sadamoto's business card to have him pick up Jun, but Jun crumples it up and swallows it. He states his father does not care if he dies, as he did not notice him going missing for a week, and because he does not put in any effort now that Mikiko is gone.
Jun adds that he is committed to finding his mother, and that reading about Kaito being like a superhero made him want to meet the ex-yakuza. He was hoping Kaito was truly his father, and seeing how he was described drew him to the yakuza. When Kaito tells Jun to give up on being yakuza, the boy asks how he should get strong, and Kaito responds by telling him "Just keep that fire burning in your heart, and it'll all make sense one day." Kaito agrees to let Jun keep accompanying him on the condition he stay out of trouble.
Upon reaching the YDA, Kaito feels something off. He smells unfamiliar cigarette smoke from the window above the door and says he dropped the key, then exits the building. Outside, he explains to Jun that someone might have broken into the office, and will use the drone to investigate. His suspicions are confirmed as he sees Bato agents in the office. Kaito calls the police to report the armed robbery. When the officers arrive, the Bato agents jump through the window. Then, he receives a text from the Janitor saying the man was Yasutaka Shirakaba, who was looking for Mikiko because she was connected to Kamuro Theater. From Shirakaba's landline number, he finds his residence to be Shirakaba Clinic in Chiba. As they head out, a man observing them makes a call and is told to tail the two.
