Sonoko-chan is okay. I hated Sonoko-chan before since you were much more beautiful and everyone spoils you, but, I’ve seen all the horrible things you and Shigeyo-chan have been though since coming to Tokyo
Kurosawa-san.
Our fathers did all that again and again, and so I thought that Sonoko-chan has no other way to go but to become a prostitute
That moment.
I won’t allow Sonoko to become a prostitute!
Tendou Otome snapped and tries to throw her anger at Kurosawa-san, but.
Okay, quiet down Aguu!
Tsukiko, who’s altering Shigeyo-san’s memories holds Tendou Otome down.
I see. Kurosawa-san, you don’t mind if Tokuda-san is together with you as a prostitute?
Minaho-neesan’s voice comes from the ceiling.
Ah, yes, I.
Kurosawa-san replies.
Uhm, please! Somehow
Sonoko-san pleads to the ceiling once again, but.
Now then, I wonder what I should do? I wanted to get Kurosawa-san for myself. That’s why I intervened, but. I’ll do anything! Really! I won’t complain! Therefore! Kou, it’s your choice. Do you think she’s useful as a prostitute?
I’m making the decision now?
Yes, wasn’t that the arrangement from the start?
Oh right.
I came here because Minaho-neesan told me to do that.
Yeah
I look straight at Sonoko-san.
She looked back at me.
She shows an earnest look.
Tokuda Sonoko-san, how old are you?
I asked.
17. I don’t go to school however
She’s a year older than me.
The same age as Misuzu.
I wanted to go to school, but they didn’t let me
She’s a girl who lives a completely different life than Misuzu, the young lady of Kouzuki house.
You can become a prostitute, but that’s only for five years. After that, you’ll need to take another job. Tokuda-san, do you have any other jobs that you want to do?
I asked.
I never asked myself that. I thought that I’ll never obtain anything. I’ve worked partime in a convenience store, but, father’s fellows always harass the people there, and so they fire me immediately Is that so?
I look at Kurosawa-san.
Sonoko-san has a cute face.
That’s why her father’s fellows raped her.
On the other hand, Kurosawa-san has a plain face.
Despite that, Minaho-neesan.
She intervened to obtain Kurosawa-san as a prostitute.
But, she left the decision to me when it comes to Sonoko-san.
She’s passive with this.
Minaho-neesan can see the qualities of the plain-looking Kurosawa-san, that she can become a prostitute of Kuromori.
On the other hand, Sonoko-san, who has a cute face, doesn’t have the same qualities.
What did she see?
Kuromori-sama’s managed brothel, is a high-class brothel for the elites, isn’t it?
Tsukiko reads my thoughts and asked.
Yeah, what about it? Then, isn’t that the reason?
Because it’s a brothel for the wealthy.
Personality is much more valuable than the looks
Edie said.
Oh, I see
Wealthy men are accustomed to beauty.
I mean, even if it’s extreme beauty, but.
They will not come to Kuromori Brothel to pay for a cunning, selfish, girl.
Nagisa, Katsuko-nee, they all have a friendly and cheerful personality.
The big-shots of political and business circles can’t enjoy unless it’s like them.
I look at Kurosawa-san again.
She looks plain, but she has an honest personality.
She doesn’t gloss over what she says.
She speaks from the bottom of her heart, no matter what it is.
Customers of Kuromori will surely accept Kurosawa-san’s personality.
Better, her plain face and honest personality make her charm.
Especially for old men in Jii-chan’s age, they will prefer girls like her.
However, Sonoko-san.
Please
I see, her cuteness sells for the young and middle-aged men, but.
I wonder about the people in political and business circles?
Sonoko-san has too much gloom on her.
She’s just 17, and yet, she seems tired.
If I have to comment in a single word, it would be shabby
This gloom.
I don’t think Jii-chan would ask for her.
I think that it would be hard for Tokuda-san to become our prostitute right now
I said.
That’s! I’ll do my best!
Sonoko-san says in panic.
What I mean is that if we want Tokuda-san to become our product, we need to revise a lot in you, or arrange, either way, Tokuda-san will need to put a lot of effort to change herself
I.
Minaho-neesan, am I right? Tokuda-san can become a prostitute with enough time, but you want me to see her value once she’s working? Correct, Kou
Minaho-neesan’s voice echoes inside the room.
It means checking for the value for the money, cost-effectiveness. It’s essential to see whether the time and money you invest will have enough value returned
I see. So that’s it.
Kurosawa-san can start working by next week. Kurosawa-san doesn’t know much about the upper-class of Tokyo, but she has an asset. If this girl asks the customers to teach her, then they can obtain pleasure from teaching her
Oh, it’s the What? You don’t know? Okay then, I’ll teach you
The old men will talk to her with a smile.
Kurosawa-san’s simple and naive atmosphere creates that mood.
But, if it’s Tokuda-san when she says that she doesn’t know, it looks like it’s a crime
She’s cute, yet, she’s so gloomy, and shabby.
She’s not suited in the social gathering spot for the elites.
Hey now, you don’t know that much? then.
Because of her gloomy mood, the customers will hate her.
That half-hearted good look plus her gloom and shabby mood stink a lot.
No, if this was a cheap cabaret, then this gloomy Sonoko-san will sell since she’s cute.
But with the customers of Kuromori, the contents of the service they want is different.
Can you imagine how hard it will be to give Sonoko-san a prior training?
Erasing the shabby mood and let the cuteness remain.
Yeah. It will take a lot of time.
Sonoko-san’s shabby mood has soaked into her body.
There’s no need for prior training
Edie?
We have Tsukiko
You mean?
If we can alter memories, we can also alter personalities
That’s true, but.
But, changing her personality means that Tokuda-san will lose her current self, right?
If we use Miko power to change her personality, then she will become a different person.
And what’s the problem with that?
Edie walks and stands before Sonoko-san.
Do you like your current self?
She stares into Sonoko-san.
i. You hate yourself, don’t you? That’s the reason why you’re gloomy. The cause of your gloom is there
That’s.
Listen, you can change. If you wish for it, you can love yourself. That is if Tsukiko uses her power
Edie said. Sonoko-san looked at Tsukiko.
Tsukiko continues to alter Shigeyo-san’s memories.
I’m about done here. I’m leaving minimum information and removing all the unnecessary memories
Shigeyo-san will remember the truth that she lost her virginity from rape.
Furthermore, she will remember it happening only once.
All the memories of the other parents raping her are going away.
She will remember the painful truth but, it’s changed to make her unable to remember because she lost consciousness during the act.
That way, Shigeyo-san can continue with a better life.
I can remove all of the memories you want to forget and leave all the memories you want to keep
Tsukiko said.
I.
Sonoko-san ponders about it.
Do you want to stay the same? Do you not want to change? I want to change
Sonoko-san replies.
If I can change then I don’t want the life I had until now
