Another memo comes into the announcer.
New information has come in. Starting from the boss of the organization, the 13 criminals who they shot to death are all people who shot other groups
In the end, Tendou Sadao kept on asking for the location of the Tokugawa’s buried treasure in the African seas.
They attacked the boss by firing a gun, and so they retaliated by shooting them to death.
Err, we will be listing all the names of the culprit who have died
The screen shows the names of people one after another.
Tendou Sadao’s name is there.
Haa
Kurosawa-san sighed.
Father
Sonoko-san seems to have found her father’s name too.
uu, I’m scared. Sonoko-chan! Sonoko-chan!
Tendou Otome clings to Sonoko-san and cries.
It’s okay. Thanks, Shou-neechan No problem
The TV turned off.
Anyway, with that, said. Your parents are dead
I speak firmly.
Hey! Why do you say it like that! Look at them, they’re afraid
Torii-san is angry at me.
It’s because they need to strengthen their resolve
I said.
Their parents died. They’re people who oppressed them but they’re still their blood-related parents. And they died. That’s why they will live by themselves from now on
I look at Kurosawa-san, Sonoko-san, and Tendou Otome.
You do understand that you can’t return home after watching that broadcast, right?
Their parents caused an extreme incident, they started a shoot-out, died, and reached the television.
They can’t return to their hometown.
Resolve yourself and start working in Tokyo
I said. Torii-san;
Work? Wait, these girls are still in high school aren’t they? What work can they do in Tokyo?
Misuzu asked to bring Torii-san with us.
That means I can talk about it.
Kuromori house’s business is a brothel, and Kaan Momoko-neechan should know about it.
Prostitution. These girls, I mean, Kurosawa-san and Tokuda-san will earn money by selling their body eeh, why?
Torii-san’s surprised.
Why do they have to do that?
I.
Do they have a choice? They need money to erase their past and start a new life. Therefore, they will work as prostitutes for five years. In exchange, we will guarantee them a new identity and support them to make a new life once they stop being prostitutes. They will sell their body to earn money to start their own business. If it’s for that reason, five years isn’t that long That’s stupid! I mean, if you ask Misuzu-sama, she can deal with it with money, can’t she?
Torii-san doesn’t get it.
Are you telling me to help these people with Misuzu’s family’s money That’s right! Don’t you feel sorry for them? They’re alone, their parents died, right? If you think that way then why don’t you help them, Torii-san?
I said.
Torii-san, if I recall, you participate in the stock market, right? Why don’t you help these people with your own money!
Torii-san’s startled.
Father allows me to use my money in stocks but he will not allow me to use it to help them Why? You have money, right? I do have assets but I’m still a minor! Father’s the one managing my money!
That means, she’s just a ‘young lady’
I use credit cards when shopping, and Father will see all the details. Therefore, I. Then ask your father. I wonder if Torii-san can ask to save these poor strangers?
Torii-san.
i can’t. Father will not give money for something like that
Torii electronics is a company that grew postwar.
Torii-san’s Grandfather created this company and it became big.
Their family should be strict when it comes to money.
But, if it’s you
Torii-san looks at me.
You carry so many women in your arms, you can do it, right?
That annoyed me.
Don’t push what you can’t do to other people so thoughtlessly!
Then.
Shut up you two!
Kurosawa-san’s angry.
I’d rather die than to have you people pity me! I’m different from you people!
She glares at Torii-san and me.
Oh, I don’t really see you as pitiful. Nor I want you to die either. I’m just desperate to keep my family safe. I have no time to save you
I glared back.
Therefore, Kurosawa-san glares only at Torii-san now.
I don’t need your help. I’ll deal with it myself. I’ll survive by selling my body. I’ll rise up in this world. I’ll definitely triumph over a naive woman like you!
Torii-san trembles from Kurosawa-san’s threatening look.
Why do I have to receive those? Why is this person angry at me? It’s because you never looked at her as an equal
Tsukiko who’s been watching all this time shows a smile.
An equal? Yes, Torii-san, you own a lot. Therefore, you speak in such a way that it would hurt her without noticing it. But, she has nothing. All she has is her body. Therefore, she has no choice but to sell it. Torii-sama who didn’t understand her situation speaks so excessively and, naturally, she will hate you
Tsukiko said. Torii-san’s shocked.
That’s right! I have nothing else but my body! What’s wrong with selling my body? I’m not going to just barely survive, if I want to show that I won against the people who looked down on me, including you, I have no choice but to use my body and anything to earn a lot!
Kurosawa-san said.
And what about you?
Tsukiko asks Sonoko-san.
I hate it. I don’t want her money. I have nothing but my body. I will do anything, even if that is prostitution. I will earn by myself and survive
She speaks in a low tone.
Is that so? Then, lastly. What about you?
Tsukiko asks Tendou Otome.
uu, I’m scared. I’m scared. Sonoko-chan, Otome-chan’s scared!
Tendou Otome does nothing but buries her face on Sonoko-san’s chest.
aah! I’m scared! I’m scared! Sonoko-chan! Otome-chan’s been like this since last night. Please leave her alone for a while
Sonoko-san embraces Tendou Otome to protect her.
I can’t do that
Tsukiko smiled.
You should stop that
She speaks to Tendou Otome gently.
Huh?
She already recovered from the mental chaos Edie gave her last night.
Wait, was that just an act?
It’s easier for her to act spoiled when she’s like this
Tendou Otome loves Sonoko-san since before.
So she’s clinging to Sonoko-san on purpose?
If that’s the case, it’s my turn
Michi moves forward.
Stand up. I’m not as kind as Edie
Michi takes a stance.
uu, I’m scared, I’m scared, Sonoko-chan!
Tendou Otome clings harder to Sonoko-san.
it hurts! Otome-chan, it hurts
Tendou Otome’s a fighter, and so if she clings seriously, Sonoko-san won’t be able to endure it
Okay, that’s enough, stand up
