The scene returns to the Manranyama Souren household.
Having completed all tasks, all that remained was to wait.
In the not-so-spacious living room, Chongzong sat next to Eiji Hayamizu.
Chongzong furrowed his brows in deep thought, while Eiji Hayamizu just sat there in a daze, the events of today having exhausted his energy.
The owner of the house, Manranyama Souren, after lecturing Chongzong, went off to attend to her own matters.
On her office desk, a mountain of files awaited her attention.
In this quiet atmosphere, suddenly and without warning, both Chongzong and Manranyama Souren spoke at the same time.
"By the way, you are the infamous Eiji Hayamizu, aren't you, the one who hurts girls' hearts everywhere..." (Manranyama Souren)
"How would Miss Manranyama suggest dealing with this woman?" (Chongzong)
Then both of them coincidentally stopped and fell into silence.
"Miss Manranyama, you go first." (Chongzong)
Chongzong took the initiative to continue the conversation, indicating that Manranyama Souren was about to assign Eiji Hayamizu a task of higher priority.
"Alright." (Manranyama Souren)
Not mincing her words, Manranyama Souren took over and continued the conversation.
"Bai Yaxin has several entertainment establishments near Gion." (Manranyama Souren)
"Among them, there is one called R.E.L.A.X, with a lady named Mizusawa Nana." (Manranyama Souren)
"This lady is said to be very close to Bai Yaxin, and obtaining information from her could be valuable." (Manranyama Souren)
"Although I personally despise scoundrels like you, Eiji Hayamizu, who play with women's emotions, we need you to act in this case." (Manranyama Souren)
"If you can get information related to Bai Yaxin's criminal activities, it could give us a significant advantage." (Manranyama Souren)
After saying these words, Manranyama Souren looked straight at Eiji Hayamizu, waiting for his response.
However, Eiji Hayamizu, completely lost in Manranyama Souren's train of thought, looked utterly bewildered.
"What's wrong, didn't understand?" (Manranyama Souren)
Seeing Eiji Hayamizu not answering after ten seconds, Manranyama Souren immediately pressed for a response.
Chongzong finally came to realize ManranyamaSouren's true colors - impatient and extremely eager. But it was understandable, considering they were all racing against time to seize the initiative, with no time to put on a show of elegance and composure. Losing meant losing everything. Bai Yaxin understood that. ManranyamaSouren did too.
"...So, you want me to seduce the girls at the brothel?" (Eiji Hayamizu)
After a moment of silence, Eiji Hayamizu blurted out that question.
"Yes." (ManranyamaSouren)
"But as far as I know, R.E.L.A.X is quite expensive..." (Eiji Hayamizu)
Before Hayamizu could finish his sentence, ManranyamaSouren placed an envelope on the table.
"There's a hundred thousand yen in there, more than enough." (ManranyamaSouren)
"But I'm still underage, I'm afraid..." (Eiji Hayamizu)
Without waiting for Hayamizu to finish speaking, ManranyamaSouren placed a card on the table.
The card was shining gold, with the word 'R.E.L.A.X' engraved on it.
"This is a lifetime VIP membership card for R.E.L.A.X club. Going in with this card, no one will bother you." (ManranyamaSouren)
Eiji Hayamizu picked up the membership card, glanced at it, then looked back at it again.
After five seconds, the look in Eiji Hayamizu's eyes towards ManranyamaSouren turned into one of admiration, as if he was worshipping a god.
