The scene returns to the Manranyama Souren's house.
-
Witnessing Eiji Hayamizu's performance, Chongzong felt a little embarrassed.
-
He thought he understood Eiji Hayamizu, but he didn't expect Eiji Hayamizu to be so exaggerated.
-
He had thought that Eiji Hayamizu was just lecherous.
-
But he didn't expect Eiji Hayamizu was a pervert.
-
And to make matters worse, Eiji Hayamizu had made such a display in front of Manranyama Souren... This made Chongzong a little embarrassed to look Manranyama Souren in the eye.
-
"...This kid is not bad." (Manranyama Souren)
-
Just when Chongzong didn't know how to break the awkward silence, unexpectedly, Manranyama Souren blurted out these words.
-
"Huh...?" (Chongzong)
-
Chongzong was surprised as if he had misheard.
-
"Think about it, if it were you, after experiencing so much today, could you behave like Hayamizu?" (Manranyama Souren)
-
"You probably wouldn't be able to muster up the energy, right? After your family has been through such an ordeal." (Manranyama Souren)
-
Manranyama Souren continued indifferently, speaking with a wisdom that seemed more like that of a woman in her fifties or sixties rather than a teenager in her teens.
-
"Indeed..." (Chongzong)
-
"And, taking on this task also requires courage." (Manranyama Souren)
-
While saying this, Manranyama Souren lightly tapped the table with her fingers.
-
"A brothel is not a McDonald's, you can't just walk in, order a Happy Meal, sit down and eat." (Manranyama Souren)
-
"For most newcomers, not to mention having ill intentions, just wanting to spend normally in a brothel could end up being cheated and forcibly consumed, ending up with even their underwear gone." (Manranyama Souren)
-
"If you are audacious enough to cause trouble in a brothel, without courage and cunning, don't even think about leaving in one piece, you might not even find your body in the end." (Manranyama Souren)
-
After Manranyama Souren's words, Chongzong finally realized that he had only seen Hayamizu's negative side, without noticing his shining points.
-
Once again, he had failed to consider Hayamizu's feelings.
Some friends are really not qualified.
"Indeed." (Chongzong)
Unlike the embarrassment he felt earlier, this time Chongzong felt uncomfortable with his prejudice against his friend.
"When you first told me he was notorious, I thought you really disliked him." (Chongzong)
He had never imagined that ManranyamaSouren would appreciate Hayami.
"No, I really dislike him." (ManranyamaSouren)
"Scumbags who play with women's feelings deserve to go to hell." (ManranyamaSouren)
ManranyamaSouren spoke harshly.
In an instant change of demeanor, ManranyamaSouren, who had just praised Hayami, now showed a face of extreme disgust.
Before Chongzong could react, the decisive ManranyamaSouren had already moved on to the next topic.
"Next, about what you just mentioned, regarding the disposal of this woman..." (ManranyamaSouren)
As ManranyamaSouren spoke, she strolled over to the suitcase, looking down at the unconscious Uhaku.
Her slender, snow-white fingers lightly pinched her chin as she contemplated.
"Although... I would really like to play a bit of 'let the tiger return to the mountain,' and then we can follow the clues..." (ManranyamaSouren)
"But I have to admit, Uhaku is not so easily deceived." (ManranyamaSouren)
As she said this, faint blue veins appeared on ManranyamaSouren's temples, indicating that she was recalling some unpleasant memories.
"Well... it's safest to keep her at my place." (ManranyamaSouren)
Finally, she made a conclusion, with a resolve that brooked no opposition.
"...and then when I have time, I'll think about how to squeeze out the remaining value of this woman." (ManranyamaSouren)
"After all, I don't expect to use her to threaten Bai Yaxin, as you should understand from the previous attempt." (ManranyamaSouren)
"They don't fit into the category of normal people at all, they're all perverts, seriously psychologically twisted." (ManranyamaSouren)
"Do you have any additional thoughts, Mr. Uesugi?" (ManranyamaSouren)
"N-No, no thoughts." (Chongzong)
Chongzong was surprised that ManranyamaSouren sought his opinion and hastily responded.
And what he was thinking was that in just a few months, ManranyamaSouren had already grown into another realm.
