At a salon, someone says that she’s ready. Looking
at pouting Hayame who is all dressed up, Issei says not bad, not bad. “Seems to
look a bit spot on.” Hayame wonders what kind of game is this.
Flashback: That night, Hayame went out of
the mansion with her luggage. She left a note saying, ‘I’ll come back to return
the money. Thanks for your care.”
Quietly walking out, Hayame thought that in
the end, she cannot play some game with him. “Obviously, there is no guarantee
that he’ll help me settle the debt. If it is now, I can definitely escape and
get out!” Then, she noticed a presence behind her. She turned to look.
She is shocked to see a couple of gangster
looking men [in black-types] staring down on her. She timidly says that she
wants to go to the toilet— One of the guys carried her luggage. The other one
picked her up like a cat and said that he’ll accompany her [to the toilet]. End
flashback.
Hayame scowls and wonders what kind of
people are those burly men. Issei tells her that this is a members-only club.
Hayame sees a luxurious looking club ahead of them. She tells him that she
isn’t a member. Issei tells her not to hesitate and just relax since he has his
own way [to do it].
As they go towards the club, Hayame asks what
are they going to do in this high class club. Issei says that she’s the one who
drew out that ‘in a high class club, make the one in the leading role lose face
and you’ll get 200,000.] Hayame asks what does ‘lose face’ mean.
He tells her to think of that by herself. “Although
I did something similar to them before in order to sort out the situation[?].
It can be said that skirt you’re wearing cost 10,0000.” This shocks Hayame that
she nervously asks if he’ll add that to her debt.
Issei says that it depends on the outcome.
Hayame exclaims in disbelief and says that’s too underhanded. Then, she notices
a flower-decorated sign with the words, ‘Happy Birthday Megumi’. She wonders if
someone is having a birthday party.
The waiters open the door and welcomes them
inside. Everything is sparkling and beautiful. Everyone is well dressed. The
women are wearing expensive jewelry. Hayame thinks that this is the first time
she has gone inside this kind of club.
As she follows Issei, she spots a couple
making out. She wonders if it is really okay for a minor to come to this place.
Then someone calls out, “Isn’t this Issei!?” Man in stripes asks what’s up and
if he, youngster, would come then he should have mention it to him earlier.
Man in suit tells him to wait and he’ll
call, Megumi-chan. Then, the two guys look at Hayame. They blush a bit and
murmur, “Who is that?” “I don’t know.” Feeling uneasy, Hayame puts the bag in
front of her chest and thinks that in the end, she looks frivolous and how can
this kind of skirt possibly suit her!
Issei whispers to her that the one on the
right is a VIP in a big company while the one on the left is a fashion
designer. “If you were able to make them take a fancy on you and sleep with
them for one night, I suppose that you can pay up your debt all at once.”
Irked Hayame tells him to have a bit of
propriety and don’t regard her the same with a frivolous woman. Issei says
fine, fine, fine. Then, a beautiful sexy woman calls out to Issei. “You came!? I
thought that you absolutely won’t come. *holds on his arm* I’m so happy!”
Then, she notices Hayame. She leans to
Issei and asks who is that...? Hayame looks tense and aghast. Issei looks at
her and tells Megumi to go ask her. Irked Hayame thinks, “Are you kidding me!!”
Sizing Hayame up, Megumi asks what— “Sis, where are you from? Are you a member
here?”
Hayame nervously says, “That is...I...I
am...his...fri...end...” Megumi looks at her from head to foot. She smiles and
says, ah forget it. Clinging on to Issei again, Megumi exclaims for him to come
and sit [over there]!
Aghast Hayame is relieved. She thinks that
she is saved. While Hayame follows the couple, a couple of smoking guy asks if
that is the new guy that Megumi found.
“Ah, isn’t that the rumored guy? Isn’t he
just a brat.”
“Walking around as if he’s some big shot.”
“Want to hang around and beat him up?”
Then, they notice a couple of burly guys
staring them down. Trembling, the two asks what can they do for them...
Yoshitora passes by them and says, that’s enough.
The two burly guys follow Yoshitora. As a
crowd surrounds the two, one guy tells them that they better not mess with that
old man, if they have bad luck, they might be gotten rid of.
Meanwhile, Hayame is sitting on a coach
with Megumi, Issei and a couple of guys. The two guys are asking from where
Hayame is, is she Issei’s girlfriend and talk with them—
Hayame is so tense that the guys tease that
it is so funny to death that she is too nervous that she’ll quickly turn into
stone. Megumi is quietly glancing at them. Issei says that it is Megumi’s
birthday today right so how old is she now.
Megumi says that she’s already 22 and she
has become an auntie already! “I recall that you’re 17 years old, right?” Issei
says ya. Megumi exclaims that he’s so young and she’s so envious. “As for five
years ago, I wouldn’t have recklessly become a model at that time-- Ah! Sis,
how old are you this year?”
After looking surprised, Hayame tensely
says, 27 years old. This made Megumi smile. “Ah... there’s 10 age difference
with Issei. So, it’s like that-- *holds on to Issei’s arm* That's right, Issei,
isn’t today my birthday so what kind of gift do I want~”
She presses her chest on to his arm. Issei
asks what does she want. She looks at him seductively and says, “Issei ♡” One of the guy says, fooling around-♪ The other guy tries to talk
with Hayame who is watching the two.
Megumi rubs Issei’s thigh and says, “The
answer to the confession before... quickly tell me.” Issei looks at the side
and says, ah ah. One of the guys tell Megumi to give up on Issei as soon as
possible.
The other guy says that he is the type of
guy who obviously knew that it is her birthday and yet, he’ll bring some other
girl with him- “For him, this woman is definitely special. Right, Issei?”
Aghast and nervous Hayame thinks, don’t say
it anymore-!! Issei says, “Special...it’s possible that it is indeed like that.”
This stuns Megumi. Since she is already at her limit, Hayame asks where the
toilet is. Megumi says that it just so happened that she also wants to go so
come with her.
Inside the women’s room, Hayame looks tense
at furious Megumi who shouted, “You quickly go home, auntie! By the way, are
you really Issei’s girlfriend!? Speak up.” Hayame nervously says no, no, no,
she is absolutely not!
Megumi smiles and says, that is true. “No
one will choose a woman who is older than oneself by 10 years to become one’s
girlfriend. You better listen well, auntie. Youth ∙ beauty ∙ rich ∙ intelligent.
Issei won’t pay attention at all if one doesn’t possess all those four conditions...
...Because he is experience and
knowledgeable. His scope [field of reference] is very high. My father is the
president of a big company and my mother is an actress. Because my parents are
like that, I had become a super model. So, between you and me, who do you think
he will choose?”
Hayame thinks that this person has such an
astonishing self-confidence that she isn’t a bit ashamed of it. Hayame tells
her that she is really not interested [in Issei] and she’ll take her leave.
Megumi tells her, “I’m asking you, which
one would he choose, old woman!” Hayame says, “Choosing that and not choosing
that, isn’t the right to choose belong to the person himself?”
She looks straight at Megumi and says, “I
don’t care how you were born [/your family background]. If we are only talking
about being all by oneself [/no help from others], I feel that I’m a lot
stronger than you.”
This made Megumi furious that she quickly
slams the wall with her palm. Hayame quickly evades it. Hayame looked surprised
at Megumi. With a clenched fist, Megumi tells her not to suddenly run out and
say such beautiful words. “If you dare to try lay a hand on Issei... Then, I’m
going to kill you...!!”
Soon, after going out of the toilet, gloomy
Hayame steadies herself by the door. Issei calls out to her and says that she’s
in the toilet for such a long time. “Are you pooping?”
Depressed Hayame tells him that she wants
to go home immediately... Holding a dice, he asks, “Are you stupid? The fun
part is about to begin.” Hayame asks if that is a dice. Issei says yes, he got
Yoshitora to buy it. “I thought of a very-- fun [interesting] thing [to do]♪”
Comment: So much for her escape plan. It turns out that Issei has MIB-type
of bodyguards. The first game isn’t that bad. It is interesting that Hayame can
carry herself well in that kind of outfit and shoes. That is enough for someone
like Megumi to be uneasy and everything.
It seems that the goal here is to embarrass
Megumi. Issei isn’t taking the bait from Megumi’s advances. He is definitely
agitating her by using Hayame. It worked since Megumi confronted Hayame. In a
way, Megumi is worldly based on her criteria as to which kind of woman is a
match with someone like Issei.
She isn’t wrong about it because most
likely, given her background, that is how it works. Hayame is somewhat
idealistic and yes, it is also true, the one who chooses is that person himself
so it is useless for them to talk about whom Issei might choose.
About ‘being strong without any back-up’,
it seems to have hit Megumi hard that she got really furious. The truth hurts?
And, it seems that she took that as an intention of wanting Issei. Anyway,
Issei wants to play again. Hehe, I’m sure by now, Hayame would think that he is
up to no good again = it will turn out bad for her. Scans by 离境汉化组

Thanks for reading ^-^ I actually don't know if it is a weekly or twice a month series. ^^;
DeleteI think it is because of his background - rich guy who knows the who's who in the rich society.
True. Perhaps, she doesn't know how to deal with her? Maybe it is because it is another female or this is a high class bar which is kind of different than what she is used to?
Oh well, rich mean everything then.
DeleteYa, I guess that's possible, I'm just felt wierd coz In the previous she handle those deliquent in front of crowded easily, why so uneasy with this single threat.
Most of the time.
DeleteTrue. Perhaps, after thinking about it, she is careful or else, she might be 'kicked out of the club'?
