「Nee~,
Papa, that girl Misuzu bothers me a lot」
「I
know. Don't worry, I'll take care of it」
「Take
care of it... Like how?」
「She's
with a small agency. We'll just pull her in. If I tell her she can move to a
big agency, she'll bite. Anyway, I'll call that dull manager tomorrow and have
him set it up. If we tell him that we'll bring him in as well, I'm sure he'll
bite without a second thought」
「And if
they don't?」
「Just
pile up the bait. For the manager, it's annual salary, and position. For
Misuzu, it's movies, dramas, and gravure. CD debut if she wants. Well, there's
no limit to how much bait I can add. And, once the contracts are signed, they
can't violate it」
「Ahaha,
Papa, you're so terrible! But that girl really pisses me off. Even though, she's
younger than me and she's an amateur reader, but two times in a row she's the main
and I'm the sub... How is that possible? Just let her go around the local
pachinko parlors and supermarket events」
「Well, there's
going to be some money involved to start with. But, all I'm going to do is use
it up all over and then dispose of it at the end in a way that allows me to
recover it exactly. Of course, I won't let her do any work that would interfere
with Akira-chan, and any good work that comes to Misuzu can be given to
Akira-chan」
「Ufu, I
love you, Papa!」
「Yes
yes, Akira-chan, I'll take you to the top of the modeling world!」
「...And
that's about it, Devi」
「...The
one who's pissed off is me!」
As
soon as Lili's acting demonstration was over, Kurosawa-san wrinkled her brow
and slammed the table.
On the
night of the photo shooting, we were in a high-rise hotel room that
Kurosawa-san had reserved for us.
I had
asked Lili to keep an eye on the president after today's photo shoot.
Of
course, I did this because I thought that Akira Mizuki must be the president's
lover.
I had
thought that if I could capture the scene of their affair on camera, I could
use it in various ways, but unfortunately no such action was taken.
However,
it does not mean that there was no harvest at all.
There
was a conversation in the car on the way back to the office.
This
is what Lili has just replayed.
At
that time, Kirihito Hikami was also in the passenger seat, though he didn't
interrupt them, so he must have been involved.
To
tell the truth, I am surprised.
I was
surprised at how bad the conversation was... No, not really.
Because
it was so accurate to Kaneko-san’s story.
That's
how dirty they are on a daily basis, probably.
I
remember the day when I first talked to Kaneko-san.
It was
two days after I rescued Kurosawa-san from a ship bound for Southeast Asia.
It was
the day after I raided a yakuza office and was detained by the police.
Kaneko-san
was in her mid-twenties.
She
has long, one-length hair dyed in a light chestnut color. She has a
sharp-looking face. Her proportions are excellent, with long arms and legs.
She
was slim but had a large bust, giving an unbalanced overall impression.
My
first impression of her was that she looked like a gravure talent.

However,
that impression changed after about two seconds because her mental ill.
On her
white skin. I mean, until I saw her wrist, peeking through the puff sleeves, there
is a pink line that looked like a self-inflicted wound.
And she
was asking me with uncontrollable anger on her beautiful face.
「...I
have a request」
From
that point on, her story was truly terrible
It was
from the previous year. At the age of twenty-three, although a late bloomer,
she was beginning to gain popularity as a model and gravure talent, when
something tasty came her way.
She
was recruited by a big agency.
The
president of the company himself visited her and offered her droolingly
delicious conditions along with toothsome rhetoric.
Naturally,
she jumped at the offer.
How
could she not be happy to have such a high evaluation of herself? Besides, she
knew that compared to the young models around her, her shelf life as a model
was not that long.
「But...
Everything the president said was a lie. None of it came true」
The
president's talk was about future policies and prospects, not the contract. On
the other hand, she herself was tied up in a contract.
The
only work that came around was for erotic photo shoots. And gradually, the
exposure went up and up. Still, she endured and did her job.
But,
one day.
She
heard a rumor about herself.
『Chihiro
Kaneko is so selfish. She doesn't even want to take gravure jobs. Whenever she
makes a hole, Akira Mizuki fills it up』
She
couldn't believe it.
For a
long time now, she hasn't been able to get a job as a gravure of a proper
magazine.
She
complained directly to the president.
She
asked him to let her quit the agency.
But
she couldn't do that. Rather, she was told to return the 100 million yen that
had been invested in her with all ears.
The
terms of the contract stated that there would be a penalty fee if the contract
was terminated mid-term.
There
was no way she could afford that.
「I'm
not a demon, though. If you finish five more jobs, I'll agree to terminate the
contract」
The
week after the president said this patronizingly, she was taken to the site of
an AV shooting.
When
she tried to escape, the filming had already started.
This
is a hard rape story in which a girl who doesn't want to be raped is gang
raped.
When
it was released, the promotional copy was “Serious acting”.
That's
true. Because it's not acting.
She
tried to kill herself, but it ended in an attempt.
Because
she was comforted by Kirihito Hikami, a junior model.
She
indulged in his kindness and be comforted many times, and he promised to marry
her. Therefore, Kaneko-san became more and more dependent on him.
If she
made four more AV films, she would be free.
She
accepted the ridiculous stage name “Ai☆Maimi” and made a silly face
with W-piece while crying in her heart, thinking that she would be happy with
him.
And
when she shot her second AV.
She
couldn't take it anymore.
She
thought of filing a complaint to the police with Kirihito Hikami. But on the
same night that she consulted with the police, she was kidnapped on the street
and taken to a ship bound for Southeast Asia.
After
listening to the story, my impression was-- terrible story. That's all I could
think.
Well,
I'm still waiting for the tsukkomi, though.
Anyway,
I don't understand Lili's intentions.
What
does she want me to do after hearing what she just said?
When I
looked at Lili, she was circling near the ceiling with an indifferent face.

「So...
What do you want now?」
When I
asked this, Kaneko-san's eyes widened, her cheeks twisted, and she spoke.
「Akira
Mizuki, President Kurashima, Kirihito Hikami, and Manager Kiyoka Yamauchi... I
want them all to go to hell」
「I'm
not on the side of justice, and I'm not running a charity. I rescued you while
I was rescuing Kurosawa-san. It was just a whim. I have no obligation to
respond to such a request, do I?」
「I'll
make sure there's something in return. If you need money, I'll do as many AV
films as you want, and I don't mind selling my body. Of course, if you want to
hold me, you can do whatever you want. If you want me to die, I'll gladly die」
「...But,
once you’re in this room, I can do whatever I want to Kaneko-san if I want to,
so there's no reason for me to obey you」
「...」
Kaneko-san
gritted her teeth.
「Hey,
Lili, what do you think?」
I
pretend to be uninterested, but I dare to ask Lili.
In
fact, I feel sorry for her and want to do something about it, but I can't get
into the conversation so easily without confirming what this devil is trying to
do.
And
apparently, that was the right attitude.
Lili
nodded her head in satisfaction and spoke.
「As for
Lili, I think it's the right way for a devil to make wishes come true if she's
offering herself as a sacrifice」
「I'm
not a devil」
「Fufun,
here's some good news. Akira Mizuki is going to inform with whom she will be
working soon」
「Who?」
「Kurosawa-chan,
Devi」
「...I
see」
So it
means that Kurosawa-san could be the next victim.
That's
certainly more than enough reason for me to get involved.
But
still, I can't believe that Lili brought me to Kaneko-san out of pure good
intentions to save Kurosawa-san.
There
must be some other reason.
「Lili...
it's a pain in the ass to figure out what's going on. What do you want?」
When I
asked, Lili smiled and spoke.
「Ahahaha~,
it's not a big deal, Devi. It's just that an entertainment agency is... It
might be a good place to start in the future, Devi」
