The President of Chronos Investments, the company that stands at the very top of a world where money really does make it go round, also inherits a second title - that of 'Hagetaka', a vulture that picks mercilessly at rotting meat and still finds a use for it. It takes becoming a candidate in the exam that will determine the next Hagetaka to convince Yuuki Ritsuya to return to his homeland.

To succeed, however, Ritsuya must overcome his childhood friends. Those who resent him for leaving them behind in search of money, another that continues to live in pursuit of a long-forgotten dream and finally, another that has become a completely different person from the one in his memories - Naoshima SEZ's current Queen Vulture.

Most importantly, he also needs to deal with his own motives for returning to the island. A broken smartphone, and a hostile takeover of epic proportions.
