Men start cleaning up, and the mahjong tiles are pushed down to the middle hole of the fully automatic sorter.

Guwacharara.

Jii, then a tile with a different back is raised.

Having it totally automatic made it easier, but it’s dull. They can’t load it after all

The man in glasses says laughingly, but the other three remain silent.

Maybe there’s a great difference between them?

Takasaki-san, I apologize for intruding your fun, but

Morisawa Mami calls out to the man.

Then that means that man wearing black sunglasses is Takasaki Ichiro, one of the living four.

What? I’m in the middle of rick relation? Do you not get it? Rick relation. Weren’t there a subject like that in middle school?

Takasaki-san, I think you meant recreation

Morisawa Mami sighs.

I see. I seriously thought it was Rick Relation

That’s wrong. They may sound alike, but recreation doesn’t have the sound of L anywhere

I see! Now I see!

Gahahaha! Takasaki laughs, but there’s nobody else laughing.

Mamii, it’s troublesome to have you here. They don’t try to retort no matter how much jokes I throw them

So he’s trying to make a joke.

Takasaki-san’s words are too noble. We never went to school, unlike Takasaki-san

Spare the flattery. I’ve dropped out in my third-year college in business school

I think just getting in there is impressive

I see, there’s that way of thinking too

Err.

What’s with this conversation.

However, these two are checking us out in secret while having that conversation.

They’re seeing what kind of company we are.

And so, what is it Mami, What’s your business?

After assuming his importance, Takasaki finally cuts to the chase.

It’s not me but these guests, they seem to have business with Takasaki-san

Oh, I see

Takasaki stares at us.

So, who is it? And what’s the business?

Then.

It’s me

Margo-san smiles.

Oh, let’s see. As you can see, I’m in the middle of something. Sorry but if you want to talk, talk to someone else. After all, I’m the dealer right now

Feel free

Takasaki resumes playing Mahjong.

He looked at his tiles, then,

The hell? What shitty tiles!

He throws in the first tile.

Then, who the hell are you anyway?

Oh, sorry about that. My name is Margo Starkweather Kuromori. As my title says, I’m from Kuromori

Margo-san says.

Huuh? Kuromori? Hey, does anyone here know Kuromori? Kuromori house?

No, not at all

Takeshi, what about you?

Never heard of it!

The guards near the wall shout loudly.

Sorry about that, even those from Osaka don’t know about Kuromori house

Takasaki laughs loudly.

You don’t have to know. I don’t know much about you either

Margo-san said.

However, there’s an individual person who told me that if I want to talk about martial arts industry, then I should give my greetings to Takasaki Ichiro-san

Takasaki looked at Margo-san.

Martial arts industry? You?

Yeah, that’s right. I was thinking of joining in as an athlete

Takasaki looks at Margo-san’s whole body once again.

You seem trained

That’s obvious. This is the body that will earn money after all

Margo-san smiles.

No, let’s stop this

Takasaki stops playing Mahjong.

Oh, he’s,

He’s the type that’s passionate about martial arts.

With your physique, you’re not going for pro wrestling but mixed martial arts? Women’s mixed martial arts isn’t popular. I’ve tried raising several of them, and they failed

Then, Margo-san

I wonder? I plan on succeeding though

She smiled.

Hah! But you see, that strong aura is just an aura. It would be impossible to sell female martial artists. You’ve got to have personality. Nowadays, you have to be a Crazy Psycho Lesbian1 to be known to some extent Takasaki seems to have a low evaluation of Margo-san as a fighter.

Thank you for that advice

Nevertheless, just one match isn’t enough for the show business. What can you do alone? Do you have other team members?

Oh, if that’s the case

Margo-san points at Edie and Kudou Haruka.

I have these two

Huh?

For this Japanese girl, Takasaki-san who loves martial arts should know her. She’s Kudou Haruka. She was the champion on girl’s high school karate last year. She must’ve been in the news or other outlets, hasn’t she? She’s quite a beauty after all hey! Wait!

Kudou Haruka panics.

Oh what is it? I thought I had your word that I can sell your body?

Margo-san presses Haruka.

that’s

Selling your body or competing, there’s nothing much different from them, which do you prefer though?

uhm

Kudou Haruka fell silent.

She doesn’t know what we’d make her do with the Yakuza if she tries to grumble.

And next to Haruka-san is Edie. She’s quite strong and cute as well. Furthermore, she’s also a schoolgirl

That’s right

Edie puffs her chest with pride.

Edie’s supple body can be seen even when she’s wearing clothes.

Naturally, her blonde hair, blue eyes, and brown skin show her beauty as well.

You can say that my marketability is low, but these girls will surely have enough. After all, the fighters are school girls and beauties

Takasaki stares at Haruka and Edie and thinks.

I mean, Margo, you’re still in 19. I think that you’ll even get famous as a beauty

Edie laughs, but,

I’m a warrior, I refrain from being called a beauty

Then, Takasaki

No, I don’t think it will work I don’t think the three of you will sell well

Then, he smiled at Margo-san.

Let’s see, how about you? Why don’t you entrust the promotion to me? This Takasaki Ichiro!

Takasaki bites.

Then, I’ll be looking for your opponents, the venue, and even the sponsors. That is much easier than forcing yourself into the industry, I think that this will go well, After all, when it comes to martial arts, I’ve got a lot of connections It seems that putting Margo-san aside, Edie and Kudou Haruka seems to have worth for Takasaki.

If that’s the case, he ‘s trying to affiliate himself with them as soon as possible.

I can bring along professionals like Yamaguchi Hideko or the Judo silver medalist Yokotani Madoka as your opponents. They have their names and skills well known but, they’re not that pretty. I think the world should know you girls better, for now, using your face will do. Wild beast VS beautiful warrior! will surely sell. It will be the talk of all the news outlets at the end of the year! Sabu, what do you think, will it work?

Yes, I think it will work!

Tatsu, what about you?

Aniki’s right!

What about Shigeharu?

It’s the best plan! Crazy Psycho Lesbians is perfect!

Yes, yes, naturally

Takasaki’s in a good mood.

I see. Indeed, there were former idolwrestlers who are popular because they look good. And there’s merit on trying to use beauties as materials again. Even if you lose, the viewers will cheer. The face of a woman in pain is sexy after all That’s right!

Takasaki’s getting excited.

Hey, Takasaki-san, it doesn’t look like these ladies want you to take care of them though?

Morisawa Mami looks at Margo-san’s expression and laughs.

Oh, sorry but I already have someone that’ll promote me

Margo-san turns down Margo-san’s offer.

what? Who’s that? Hey! Is it Temi? Mochizuki? Namba? Yoshihara? I’m sure that I’m better than them!

He glares at Margo-san with anger.

If it’s in Japan, Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyuushuu, Okinawa, or wherever it is, there’s no one who can go against me when it comes to martial arts! I’m definitely going to take them down! They’re dead meat!

Hii!

Kudou Haruka trembles and clings to me tighter.

I know. That’s why we’re going to have a match in America
