I recall her poor father that I saw from the screen earlier.

The other Yakuza oppressed Tokuda.

That’s irrelevant. I don’t care, nor I will

I.

If we don’t dispose of all of them, then people like your parents will spawn again. Stupid people will come after Kouzuki house to make threats unless they kill off people who meddle with them

Therefore, it’s necessary to put down that Tokuda as well.

If he dared to refuse Tendou Sadao, then.

No, if he had the wit to not let Tendou Sadao dominate him, then.

It’s his fault that he’s receiving the same treatment.

Aren’t you involved in this place because of your weak father?

They brought her to Tokyo from Kansai.

The other parents raped her to waste time.

I don’t care about me, but Papa!

And I don’t care about you either!

I shouted.

We have to dispose of your father to make sure that there’s no second coming of people like you!

The room quiets down.

don’t yell on Sonoko!

Tendou Otome complains, but.

You shut up

Edie stops her.

I.

Sonoko-san, you may not care that you’ve become a plaything for the old men for your father’s sake, but.

I stared into her eyes.

If we become generous here, another sacrificial pawn from Kansai will come here, and bring another girl like you, and rape her

If they discover that we spare lives because their daughter pleaded, then.

The Kansai group will send more Yakuza with daughters here.

Sonoko-chan, let’s end it with us. I don’t want anyone to get through the same hell as we did

Shigeyo-san, the other violated girl, speaks.

I also don’t want Father to die. But, we can’t do anything now! They already said that this won’t end unless our fathers die

Yep. Well, that’s how it is

Nei speaks to the girls.

You can cry and beg all you want but nothing will happen. This is a battle between Kouzuki house, a great family, and the Kansai Yakuza. Nobody will come and save your parents

Then.

Don’t make it that simple!

Do you think we’ll keep quiet when our parents are dying?

Stop bullshitting me!

The three girls screamed!

Then, do you want to die together with your parents?

I asked calmly.

Their faces froze.

hey, wait

what are you talking about?

What are you going to do with us?

I.

You know the secrets of Kouzuki house. We have enough reasons to kill you all

The girls.

hey, what the hell?

someone, call the police, Omawari-san!

Japan can’t allow such absurdity to happen!

Yes, if it’s the surface.

Sorry, but we belong to the underground. We’re people of Kuromori. We don’t care about the laws in the surface

Do you not understand why the people from Kouzuki SS, a company on the surface, didn’t come to see you?

It’s because it’s the crime syndicate who will deal with your parents

And that’s us

The girls tremble in fear.

Wait! You promised me that you’ll save them!

Tendou Otome speaks in confusion.

Well, that was our intention. And that’s the reason why we’re here. But.

I look around the room.

If leaving these girls alive will become a handicap, then don’t you agree that we have to kill them off?

Otome;

but, look, you can use that woman with a scary look in her eyes to erase our memories, right? I thought that’s what you were going to do?

That’s right, Tsukiko can read and alter memories. But.

Edie said.

Don’t you think it’ll take less time to kill you all instead of deliberately altering your brains, right?

i don’t! It’s better to alter our memories!

Tendou Otome insists.

O-Otome-san, what do you mean altering?

Like, opening our brains?

no! I don’t want that!

Idiot! It’s better than dying!

Tendou Otome hushes the three.

I mean, we have so much compassion that we came here to look at you all

Edie smiles.

Compassion?

That’s right, it’s easy to alter your memories by operating your head, and make you all forget the memories before coming to Tokyo

Yes, you can leave that to me

Tsukiko speaks softly.

But, what will happen to you after that? You won’t your parents who came to Tokyo with you. How can you live as orphans?

The Yakuza daughters begin to tremble.

If you return to Kansai, then the people in your father’s organization will come and chase you around asking Do you know anything that happened in Tokyo?

Nei said.

I mean, if your parents, who were sacrificial pawns, show that they failed, then I don’t think that the bosses in Kansai will look after you girls. The organization will not feel sorry for you and secure the livelihood of the survivors Or should I say that the Kansai organization will cut them off, saying, We don’t know anything about that, those who came to Tokyo did it on their own. Therefore, you’re now in the worst place

These girls can’t live in the areas under the Kansai organization’s control.

Right You girls should think that you can’t live in Kansai anymore

With that said, do you have any relatives in another region? Acquaintance? Do you have anyone to take you in? None?

I asked.

If you have no place to live, then it will be hard for you

We could spare you, but you’ll still die a dog’s death

Then.

don’t you have more than enough money since you’re from Kouzuki house? Can’t you prepare enough money for us to survive for a while?

Tendou Otome said.

Like I said earlier, we’re not Kouzuki house but Kuromori!

And crime syndicates don’t do charity work.

Tendou Otome looked at me.

But, you had a good relationship with that young lady, Misuzu

Misuzu nor I don’t have any personal assets. The assets of Kouzuki house all belong to Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan’s managing Kuromori

I can’t do anything.

I’m not asking you to do charity! We’re going to pay it back!

Even so, Tendou Otome clings.

The nine of us can live somewhere far away. The nine of us will work hard and repay the money we’ve borrowed! So, please, can you provide us with money that can let us start a new life? I beg you!

Tendou Otome bows her head.

It looks like she wants the nine daughters of Yakuza who lost their parents to live together.

However.

But, Otome-san

We can’t do that

I mean, where are we going to live? We can’t return to Kansai

The three don’t agree with her.

Okinawa, Hokkaido, it doesn’t matter.

Tendou Otome asserts.

If we don’t want the Kansai people to find us, then we need to go somewhere far away! We can run away on an island!

I don’t want that!

Island? Impossible

I mean, we’re surrounded by the sea, right?

Why not? Sea’s the best. If it’s in Okinawa, we can free diving every day, if we’re in Hokkaido, then we can see the ice floe!

Oh, they’re just like their parents when thinking.

It’s absurd

Impossible

I mean, I can’t

But that’s the only choice!

I look at the other girls.

The twins look dumbfounded.

The plain girl continues to look down.

Sonoko-san and Shigeyo-san show a face of despair.

They’re losing their parents and they can’t return to Kansai anymore.

That said, they don’t think they can live together with Otome somewhere far away

I.

Very well. I don’t know if I can lend you money but I’ll talk to Minaho-neesan

Yo-chan?

Nei looks at me in surprise.

We can’t talk in this room, let’s bring Tendou-san in a room where we can talk

That’s a lie.

Minaho-neesan’s watching this room through the cameras.

are you sure? Really?

Tendou Otome asks, but.

I’m just the middle-man. You’re the one to persuade her

Oh, right. Okay. I’ll do that

Tendou Otome turned to the girls in the room.
