Sorry, this is a member’s only area
The security guards face the pursuers.
What? What Member?
The pursuers got off their car noisily as well.
1, 2, 3, 4.there’s 5 people in total All of them are hoodlums.or rather, they look like Yakuza.
Well you see.This is a gate that never let those people who doesn’t know what organization enter!
The security guards took out their metal policeman club and stun gun!
We can just leave everything else to those people
Our car goes in deeper the Members only parking lot
There’s an elevator that can fit a large sized car in the interior of the parking lot. Minaho-neesan took out an electric key and turns it to the elevator. There’s a gate protected by humans and a double check elevator machine that performs a check. The elevator door opens and the car comes in.
.Uwaa!
.Ugyaa!
I can hear the men screaming from the background.
.Don’t look back. They’re just an unsightly scenery
Minaho-neesan said over the mirror.
The elevator door closes. I can no longer hear the screams
The elevator goes further underground.
This is the fifth underground floor.
Minaho-neesan told us.
The elevator’s descent stops and the door opens. Approximately ten cars can park in here. But.There’s not a single one parked in.
It’s been a while coming here.
Katsuko-nee muttered expressionlessly.
I somehow understood it. This hotel is is an annex of Kuromoribrothel Minaho-neesan chooses her words in explaining so Maika won’t notice the existence of Kuromori
You see.This is a meeting place for rich people and their mistress without being known by anyone. Nowadays, this is a Room rentfor such people!
Kuromoriprostitution section has stopped their activities however.
This annex is still lending rooms to the guests of Kuromorifrom the old days. The guests take their female partner by themselves. Therefore, the security guards are residing here.
If it’s a city hotel, you can just pretend to have a meeting on a different room.then go down the secret elevator won’t you? You can have Adult meetupswithout everyone seeing it. You can use the usual guest room rented as an alibi and the hotel can make a profit as well .So they’re doing that kind of business.
Either way, let’s go to my office. Take all the baggage when you’re going down. I like this car but we can’t use this anymore. Those people have the number of this one
Minaho-neesan said in regret.
I feel sorry for the people who owns this car in papers but.the trouble fee has been paid in advance, we have no choice but to give up.
What kind of people are they?
I find it curious so I asked.
If I recall, they’re elderly people working at a plating factory in an industrial park.
Oh.Those people would be invaded by the companions of those hoodlums.
My condolences.
This way
We took our baggage and followed Minaho-neesan.
It’s here.Even though I said office, It’s hardly used
Nee-san opened the lock and invited us inside.
There’s only a desk and reception set.It was an unexpectedly simple room.
Either way.we’re absolutely safe here
We sat on the sofa being told by Nee-san.
Maika leaks out a sigh. As expected, she’s nervous.
Are you okay Maika?
Un.I’m fine. Or rather, it made my heart throb!
Maika looks at my face and smiled.
.Maika?
Yuzuki-san, what kinds of room are those used for Secret adult meetings?
Maika asks Minaho-neesan.
.What? When you said that your heart is throbbing, you were interested in those? .No, that’s wrong. Maika’s face might be laughing. .But her legs are trembling. She’s talking a different topic on purpose to hide her unease. This child had that character. If I don’t take a look at her more. Megu nods at my glance. Megu understands. Katsuko-nee’s holding Maika’s shoulder casually. Everyone’s thinking carefully of the smallest among us, Maika.
The secret meeting rooms have luxurious interior. The concept is different on each room
Waa, Maika wants to see Not right now.There’s a lot too stimulating things in there eeh!Stimulating? What kind?
Maika bites Minaho-neesan’s words.
We’ll visit next time.we don’t have time for today
Minaho-neesan smiled wryly.
The phone on the desk rings.
.Yes, it’s me
Minaho-neesan answered the call.
.Is that so? Got it. They’re also intruding the front of the hotel. I don’t mind, call the police. So they knew it from the people who chased us to the underground.As expected. They’re fast to talk to people on the crime syndicates.please report to the lawyer, Tsuruya-sensei. If they deal with that kind of team, the opponent would be plucked off enough.
As expected.it was a crime syndicate.
.The detailed correspondence should be left to Manager Takada and Concierge Chief Nomoto. The crime syndicate will persist to destroy the hotel side by putting false charges on them.the hotel should strongly appeal that they’re unrelated. I’m going up immediately. The usual room please. Thank you!
Nee-san said then hang up the phone.
The concierge of this hotel is my senior
Katsuko-nee told us with a smile.
Katsuko-nee’s senior.In short, a retired woman of Kuromori
She’s very reliable so please feel relieved.
Perhaps, most of the women in the mansion has taken part in Minaho-neesan’s various business.
There’s a firm bond between the women who were made prostitutes.
Ojou-sama.should I prepare tea?
Katsuko-nee stands up from the sofa.
No need. We’re done here anyway. There’s a guest room prepared above so let’s just call for room-service
Then, we’re having supper here as well? Right.the people in room service are safe
.It seems that we’re going to eat supper at this hotel.
This underground facility isn’t just used to run away from the pursuers
Minaho-neesan looked at us.
Electric waves doesn’t reach this underground facility. There’s no relay broadcast facility as well. There are a lot of customers who want to enjoy the Secret Meetingin a place where phones won’t reach.
.Phone?
I’m going to confiscate your phones
Minaho-neesan.told Megu, Maika and I.
.Err?
.Did you not know that the location of a person can be known from the phone?
Un.I’ve heard about it.
Your phones are already identified by those people!
.I see.
Megu and my location can be found out by the
GPS
.
But.Maika would be troubled if she can’t contact her friends
Maika said.
That’s fine
Katsuko-nee took out a machine that looks like a laptop from the car.
We’ve bought identical ones from the phone shop. We’ll just read the data on your phone and transfer it
In addition, Katsuko-nee took out three phones with the same model.
We’ll give this in exchange of the confiscated phones. You can use it so don’t worry. The data from contacts and mails, everything will be transferred. You may not like it but endure it. Once this event settles down, we’ll change the model.
Katsuko-nee said with a smile.
That’s fine isn’t it, Maika-chan?
Megu smiled at Maika.
She handed her own phone to Katsuko-nee, taking the lead.
.Then please
Yes, leave this to me!
Katsuko-nee ties the phone to the machine via cable and begins her work.
It can’t be helped.Maika just renewed the other day.
Saying that, Maika presented her own phone.
I took out my phone as well.
But.They’re faster than I thought
I told Minaho-neesan.
Are you talking about Shirasaka house’s movement being sooner than expected?
Then.Minaho-neesan.
No. Shirasaka house still haven’t began to move yet. According to my investigation, it seems that they hired an underground investigation company but.they have bad reputation, they move slow, and have low investigation ability. Why would they hire those people expressly? As expected, newsspaper people are useless. They have tunnel vision on what they know.thus they’re naive!
