Chapter 114: The Birth Of The Tokiwa Front Company!


TL: Akabane


***


Lately, Suo has been waiting for me in front of the main gate after class most of the time. The debt has disappeared, but she insists that the debt has not disappeared, and she asks me if there is anything I want her to do for me. Until recently, I was the one who was paying her back, but now the situation is completely reversed. Suo has been dressing me in a maid's uniform, cleaning up my room, doing my laundry, scratching my ears, and cooking me dinner. However, I don't intend to make her do such things all the time.


"Thank you for your hard work. Master."


Suo, dressed in a maid's uniform, greets me at the front gate. I can hear whispers around me, but to be honest, I feel really good. The overpriced flower I paid so much for is now my maid. I feel a big rush of excitement.


"Mm. Thank you!"


"Then, I will serve you today as well!"


"Oh, by the way, I want to take Suo with me today."


"Where do you want to take me? I'm willinh if the master says so."


I took Suo with me on the train to Shibuya. After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at my secret base building.


"This is my secret base."


"Secret base...? Then, I can use any weapon I want! I've even taken down a helicopter! I can handle war!"


"That's not what I meant by a base!"


I'm afraid of what she's saying about subverting helicopters ... is Brazil really that much of a monster country? I take Suo and go upstairs to an empty tenant.


"What's this? A p*rn shooting studio? I can't do that kind of work! But I'd be happy to serve you at night ... but I won't film it..."


"What do you think I'm doing?"


"Japanese Mirisha?"


"I've got a title worse than Yakuza!"


We had a typical office scene spread out in front of us. We had prepared everything necessary for an office, including a desk, a computer, a partitioned-off area, and a conference room. Even the computer had twin monitors and 16GB of memory. I pull Suo by the hand and lead her toward the back of the room. I pulled out a chair from the largest desk and sat Suo there.


"How do you like it? What's the view from here? Oh, please don't use honorifics anymore. As usual."


"Heh? It just looks like an office, doesn't it? Well, I've never had a white-collar job before, so this is new for me."


Somehow, Suo seemed to enjoy imagining the work scene. That's a relief.


"I've decided to have Suo start her own business in IT."


"Eh? What?"


Suo was terribly surprised by my statement.


"You said before that you like games and stuff. And in Brazil, you ran your own business collecting and repairing scrap metal, right?"


"Yes, that's true, but..."


"Then, you'll be fine. In the future, the market will be dominated by the social games and gacha games on smartphones. That's where we're going to do business."


Suo rolls her eyes.


"Are you serious? You're seriously going to let a criminal like me run your business?"


"Oh. You told me about your dream before at the Hongo campus. I'm investing in the dream you told me about. You're going to create a company. And participate in society. Live openly in the front world, not at the back!"


"But, I..."


"I won't hear a word of contempt for myself. And if you still have crimes and punishments left, I've decided that fighting here is your atonement for the crimes you've committed."


Suo is still hiding her true sin. Because it remains in her mind, she has given up on living an honest life.


I hug her from behind as Suo sits down and gently pat her head.


"Ah ... Kanata..."


"I want to make your wish come true. I want to be selfish and be pushed around sometimes. I want to live such a normal life with you. That's fine. Society is huge. There's a place for people like us with scars on our shins. Let's make a place together."


"Kanataa ... I am...! Uuuhhhh...!"


Suo cries in my arms. She was holding my hand tightly. I kept patting her head until she stopped crying.













Suo, who had stopped crying, said with a sharp look on her face.


"I accept Kanata's proposal. I'll set up a company, fulfill my dreams, and live a respectable life in the front world!"


These were powerful and determined words. Suo will now start her own business as a president.


"Okay! Then, I want you to use this office."


"Okay. But an office in Shibuya is a luxury for a startup. Ufufu..."


"It's even more extravagant. I'm planning to invest about a billion dollars in Suo."


"That's a lot of money. It's generous. The Dom Perignon Tower is going to reach the moon."


"But I expect to make a reasonable profit, so just be prepared for that."


"Ha! Leave it to me! I was doing business in a favela with about 100 people! I can do it as if I was on a big boat!"


"I'm afraid that you could create such a big company but you couldn't pay back your debts. What happened?"


"The guys at Mirisha ... they took our profits like taxes ... hahaha ... they took like 90% of our profits ... we were just trying to pay our children's salaries .... if I disobeyed, the children would be in danger and my business would be interfered ... Mirisha is a very greedy..."


I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy for Suo, who was looking at me with a distant gaze.


"Japanese police don't take their profits away, do they? Japan is a nice country..."


"What a comparison! Don't worry! That won't happen in Japan, so don't worry and do your business!"


Corruption in foreign countries is really bad. I thought it was really a blessing to live in a safe world.


"For now, you'll just have to guess at the gacha game at first."


"Right. I likes console RPGs, but let's pioneer from there first. Eventually, we'll have our own brand ... kukuku..."


She seems to have some kind of tremendous dream. But Suo's smile is shining brightly. So this choice must be the right one. We will live in this world.








Even if each individual has unmixed thoughts and feelings, they should be able to be combined in the world in which we live together.








Season 4 main scenario completed



To be continued in Season 4, "The Summer That Shines Brighter Than Anyone Else"!








Warning!



My world was closed here.


Those who sin will forever be staring at God.


There is no repentance.


For then, she must repent of her sin.


Because I knew that was the most unforgivable sin.


The king has come to the city of God, and the time of judgment has come.


O King, give us progress and order.


For the people cannot govern the people by the people.


O false king who takes idolatrous goddesses!


Can you save the wretched woman?


Oh, let me see.


Show me your high road!


Season 4.X


Cidade do REY


Begone!





***Author's musings***



This is the end of the Season 4 Serious Part.


Hope you enjoy the comedy for a while!


I'll soon be posting some sort of creative notes looking back on season 4 and a summary of the scenarios to date in a status report or something, so I hope you'll read that, too.


Also, we are still looking for ideas for summer events. Please write them in the comments section. I'll try to make it into a chapter in my own way.


See you soon.
