WAIT, so Yuito had never done anything Paru?! Good for both him and Rie then.
;
Hehehe Yuu catching thief. So heroic lol. Nacchi so understanding, too.
Then MariHaru.... awww Mariko so willing ;_;
That first thought was actually interesting in a way with influence going into this chapter so it might be an extension of this chapter hopefully...
The MariHaru was kinda a mixture of sugary cheesy goodness
Chapter 13Yuu returned to the meeting of the twin towers and their plans seemed to be simple leaving the company with just sponsoring the contest as the twin towers controlled the talent portion with hiring the judges. As he heard it, he felt comfortable with the setup looking at Shinoda.
The three entered the office as usual with the silence more powerful than ever before taking their seats at the meeting. Rin set his chair away from Yuito observing the relationship in front of him. There was little to say but he knew that no display was going to get him jealous. The two women opened up the presentation file and explained the savings of using an outside source to get the job done.
“How do we know we are actually saving?” Yuu asked.
“It saves you guys from a lawsuit for any fault.” Akimoto answered.
“Sure it does but that would mean more money up front.”
“Well… that maybe an issue but we are not aiming for top talents. Our aim is talent scouts.
Yuu looked around the room seeking for a reply from the other members before looking back up for a common agreement. Shinoda raised her hand catching the two before getting to the next slide.
“What will be the price range?”
The two glanced at each other before handing out a folder to Yuu and Shinoda of the possible selections. Many were quite famous by themselves as they have found acts in the past. They had gems in the pool of scouts which made them excited.
“Two hundred fifty to three hundred thousand for a day.”
The two agreed that would be perfect for them and let the meeting go one without any interference leading to the signed contracts of the two on board. When it was over, they left the room returning back to their desks without communication.
“Rin-kun! Where are you going for lunch?”
“Ahh I have a coupon for the cafeteria. Want to go?” He replied seeing her smile.
“Sure… However we might need another place for dessert…” Yuko pondered before leaving the area.
Rin smiled back at Yuko as she left and continued on with his work. Yuito firmly stared at his screen looking through the data as he felt a touch on his foot. He shot up to the smile of his girlfriend when he shook off the gesture and ran off to the printer.
“Yuko is having a liking towards you.” Yuito commented wiping his lips with his fingers.
“We are together.”
“I see. That must be fun just to be in lust.” He spoke under his breath.
“I don’t look at it that way.” He responded. “I just satisfy her needs.”
Yuito shook his head before straining back at his computer when Rie returned with her documents. She knew the atmosphere was heavy between the two and just watched it grow every day before works finishes. She sat there sharing her attention between the two before opening up another file to research.

Yuu returned to his desk when Akimoto walked in with a gift basket. She took a seat at the desk looking across of the table and slid a portfolio towards him. He wasn’t sure the reason but she opened it up to his wife’s picture. Yuu noticed the time table and the benefits would be retroactive from the period that was given to her at the time she gave birth. He lowered the folder onto the table and showed a half smile.
“Have you contacted her?” He asked.
“Yes. She had agreed to it and when she becomes available she will be part of my company.” Akimoto explained with an awkward grin.
“Can I ask about the pay?”
“Unfortunately, that will be between us and her.”
Yuu locked his hand together as the thoughts of her work life came to his mind. She was diligent in her jobs and a gain for her company would be leverage against his. However, he couldn’t let her miss out on this chance and Akimoto seemed honorable to ask. Yuu stood up and handed over the portfolio over to Akimoto with her smile slowly growing.
“I want her to be paid well. That’s all I ask.”
“Thank you.”
Yuu sat down and could only imagine his wife’s face about the offer that they were giving her. He had the concert and the wife on good terms. He looked onto his screen and a mail had popped up giving him a notice of audit personnel visiting in about a week. Yuu typed out the response that his area was preparing for the visit and sent it right away. Immediately, a response came back to curse him for such a quick answer. Yuu had confidence in his area and ignored the mail and sent out an email that there were auditors coming in about a week and a message to tidy it up.
Yuu sent out the email and heard his phone rang to be summoned to the office of the president. He jogged over to the office to see a man with a grim expression on his face. There were few things he didn’t want to see and the man with a stern expression was one and he closed the door behind him.
“Masuda, I know your area is set but the others are in a bind at the moment. We cannot have different days to have the others catch up.”
“If they weren’t ready, it is their faults not mine.” He responded.
“True… but are you willing to help them get ready?”
“I will do what is needed if they need me other than that they are screwed.”
“Okay, Hashimoto has requested help.”
Masuda knew that was the financials area and ran over to find an extra computer open to access the files for the year. The files were in a mess as he smashed them together and found a flaw in the numbers. He messaged the leader and saw him walk over to a missing transaction that was recently covered. Hashimoto was a slender man with thinning black hair and a shaded moustache. Masuda saw the man turned white when the amount had been revealed to him.
Masuda had seen everything but the missing amount had shocked him and he had brought up the transactions and one by one scan it through for matching documents. Hashimoto only could watch and wait for the items to be shown. Yuu swore that the item had to been a miscommunication among the clients and peeled his eyes on it when he looked up to the clock just passing 1 P.M.
“Masuda, you can go to lunch…”
“I’ll stay a little longer.” He replied.
Hashimoto bowed and walked away from the computer. Every transaction was covered until there was a notable exchange and his heart had dropped. There was the problem and he couldn’t believe it when he was ready to report it. He stood up from the chair when a crowd had appeared hearing about the news that had just been released. Yuu saw his boss and tapped him on the shoulder giving him the news. He saw a hand swung at him and he feel to the ground.
“Hashimoto is dead!”
“What!?!? He was the one to embezzle…” He stopped when the items connected them together.
There was a purpose to the problem and ran back to find Hashimoto had withdrew the money to pay a debt and suffered through the late payments when it was finally done when the shark had come and finished him soon after. Yuu shook his head as he saved the ledger and walked back to his office.

Rie excused herself to go home after the events that had happened and saw a note on her door with “UNAGI” written on top. She entered into the apartment with her key and opened it to find a letter indicating a meeting of the writers in secret. She knew it was an opportunity to seek the other writers with their stories entertaining the audience. She changed into t-shirt and jeans before throwing over a hoodie to hide her identity.
The breeze caught her by surprise a she walked toward the area where she dropped off her stories and went down the stairs with the invitation in hand. She knocked twice and handed the invitation over to the person and was led into a hallway with an open cell in front of her. Rie stepped inside and it slowly went down to the floor below where there was chatter and the cell connected to another set of hallways below.
“Welcome Unagi! We have been waiting for you.” The raspy voice greeted her.
“Welcome everyone. May I know you names?” She asked as one by one they said their pseudonyms as she was offered a plate of cookies and a cup of tea.
Many were envious of Unagi and her work with the voices seemingly hissing like snakes in a pit but no one knew the identity of the others. Rie had grown curious but it was short lived with the booming voice of the host. The sound silences the crowd as it directed towards her.
“Unagi, you have the highest grossing amount of readers and subscribers among the group. I want to thank you for your hard work.”
“Thanks to the people.” She responded before biting into the brittle cookie.
“I have a request.” One person had shouted with a shriek in its voice. “Unagi, I challenge you to make an intimate story.”
“Do you mean sex?”
“I issue a challenge to Unagi and if she achieves this, it will make the sales skyrocket.” The voice proclaimed.
Rie swallowed the piece whole feeling her throat ripping as she swallowed it and downing the hot tea to break it down. There were few things she had to consider that to write such things out needed practice and next was considering Yuito as a prime target to explain the interaction. She was doomed to try it but there was a chance and she looked through the hole.
“I’ll take the challenge. One week.”
“It has been confirmed that she has a week to finish it.”
Her cage was brought up and she had left quickly in the darkness into the lights of the outside world. Rie had dialed the number and held the phone up to her ear.
“Hello.”
“Rie-chan, how are you doing?” He replied.
“I need some help…”
“What is it?”
“Would you mind an idea?” She asked.
“Sure.”
“Explain to me a deep dark secret.”
“I always wanted to try a threesome…” He responded.
“With who?”
“A former girlfriend. She’s here right now crying her eyes out. I told her that I have a new girlfriend but she won’t go away.”
“I see. I think she needs a little wakeup call about the relationship. I don’t feel angry about it since she wants you but can I come over?” Rie smiled as she asked the question.
“You sure it wouldn’t be awkward?”
“I don’t think so because she would do anything right?”
She heard a pause with murmuring in the back before Yuito went back onto the phone. “That’s mean of you because she is trying to reach into my pants at the moment.”
“I’ll be there with some protection. Hold her back until then.”
Rie ran into the convenience store to grab a pack of rubbers and alcohol before rushing over to the apartment with the rosy cheek girl all over his leg. She saw her boyfriend in shock as the woman ran over with her head bowed toward the floor. Rie walked over to fill up three glasses with ice and opened a can for each of them. The three each consumed their share when the woman glared at Rie.
“Yuito was all for the first time.”
“Paru… don’t make it that I broke up with you because of sex.” He replied.
“You had her in mind all along. I knew when you started to become disinterested in me.” She spoke as she lay on the bed.
“Rie, are you sure this is okay?” He glanced at her seeing the hands approaching the other woman.
“Let’s get this experiment started.” She smiled approaching her lips .
