Chapter 1 „Beginning“

 

Gangster 1 : „ Mirai! You want me to wait forever ? What is a star management company without stars ? Why don't you sell this building first ? „

 

Gangster 2 : „ We're not all that bad. If you give us the building, we'll forget about interest. How about it ? We're giving you a huge break. It's not like we hade a ton of money to just give away, either. I suggest you settle this before we sell you off as a slave to some remote island where no one can find you. “

 

( These thugs are here to collect my dad's debt from me. )

 

Ganster 1; „ Mirai. Today is the day you and I come to terms. If I go back empty handed, my boss will kill me! I gave you a break until now, but no more! „

 

Ganster 2 : „ Not anymore! “

 

( They are glaring at me, but both of them did not collect a cent of interest from me for the past six months, let alone the principal. I want to pay you back since you both are so pitiful... But I don't have any money. There's nothing I can do about it... I have to resort to that tactic... )

 

Ganster 1 : „ Mirai! Are you listening to me ?! My gosh... Mirai. Are you crying ? „

 

I : „ Boo-hoo... „

 

Ganster 1 : „ Oh, no. Don't cry. Do not cry~! „

 

I : „ WHAAAA~ “

 

Ganster 1 : „ Oh, no. OK. I made a mistake. I am sorry! „

 

I : „ Boo-hoo... I didn't have anything to eat yesterday...

 

Ganster 1 : „ Oh... Oh,really? Not a bite ? „

 

I : „ WHAAAAA~ „

 

Ganster 1 : „ Hey, hey! Do something! „

 

==============================================================================

 

In the mean time, a boy from the country was wandering, lost in the city.

 

Ryosuke : „ HUFF HUFF... I'm dead tired... TAKASHIMA GROUP, it's got to be somewhere around here... „

 

Dog : ** Panting**

 

Ryosuke : „ It's you again... „

 

Dog : **panting~**

 

Ryosuke : „ I feel like I am going around in circles... UGH~What should I do ? And why does this city have to be so big ? “

 

Voice : „ SOB SOB „

 

Another voice : „ Please stop... stop crying! „

 

Ryosuke : „ Wait.. Who's crying ? Hey, what's going on here ? „

 

==============================================================================

 

Suddenly, a dashing boy came from nowhere and attacked the thugs.

 

CRASH!!

 

Gangster 1 : „ What the... Who is he!!!

 

Gangster 2 : „ Yelp! What are you doing, hey you!!!

 

BANG! CLANK!!!

 

( The boy brilliantly ruined the entire place and saved me from the thugs. And as if he is a man of justice, he stood in front of the thugs and glared at them. )

 

Gangster 1 : „ Hey, you... Who are you! „

 

Gangster 2 : „ My gosh, the car... the car!!!!! „

 

The thugs' car is severely dented.

 

Ryosuke : „ You thugs should really pick on someone your own size."

 

Gangster 1 : „ What ? What did you just say ? Where did this bum come from! "

 

Gangster 2 : „ Hey, you boy! What are you going to do about our car!!! We took the boss's car without permission!!!!! This car is so expensive!!!! „

 

( It's not your average car... and they took it without asking. )

 

Gangster 2 : „ Darn... The car is bashes up and all. What do we do now... This expensive... This expensive car... „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Hey, you. You have lots of money ? You bashed the car because you have money to throw away ? „

 

Ryosuke : „ Err... not quite... I didn't do it on purpose... "

 

Gangster 1 : „ You show up out of nowhere, beat us up, ruin the place, and bash up the car! You're a thug, aren't you??!! „

 

Ryosuke : „The thugs are you guys, not me!!! „

 

Gangster 1 : „ How dare you call us thugs! There are many witnesses!! „

 

Ryosuke : „ No, I am not blaming you... „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Hey, you. You beat us up! And you bashed our car! And you call us thugs. That is putting the blame one the wrong people!!! „

 

Ryosuke : „Seriously, that's not what I meant to...“

 

Gangster 2 : „ We are in trouble. It's going to cost an arm and a leg to pay for the damages. „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Hey, Mirai. Do you know this boy ? You will cough up allthe car repair costs and hospital costs. Right ? „

 

Gangster 2 : „ The cost for the car will be more than you can imagine. „

 

I : „ Wh...aaat ? „

 

( He tried to save me. And if I pretend that I know him, I might be totally blamed. What should I do ? At this point, more debt doesn't matter. He tried to help me out. I should thank him. )

 

I : „ Of course, I know him. You can bill me for all the costs. „

 

Ryosuke : „ Huh ? What are you talking about ? I don't know who you are! I was stupid enough to get involved in this mess... My stupidity is only to blame, so you owe me nothing. „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Oh, ho. Look at him trying to act like a man and all... „

 

Ryosuke : „ So how much do I owe you ? Whatever the cost is, I will pay for the bill! „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Add, multiply, subtract the costs for windows, car repair, billboard, and psychological damages... Well, it will be about 10 billion yen. „

 

Ryosuke : „ What ? How much ? TEN BILLION YEN ? „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Yes, 10 billion yen. Don't think we are trying to rip you off cuz that's exactly how much this girl owes us! „

 

Gangster 2 : „ But isn't the amount a little too much ? He is not gonna fall for this. „

 

Gangster 1 : „ You think so ? Should we reduce the amount little... ? „

 

Ryosuke : „ TEN BILLION YEN ? Until when do I have to pay off the debt ? You are not saying I have to pay it off now, right ? „

 

Gangster 2 : „ He must be from the countryside, so naive and gullible... „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Yeah... he agreed to the 10 billion. We don't need to reduce it, right ? „

 

Gangster 2 : „ Truly, he believes it. „

 

Ryosuke : „ I'm sorry... I don't have any money now. And I don't know anybody who would lend me that kind of money. I'm an orphan. How about I pay you back when I make some money ? „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Whether he makes mopney or not how in th world is he going to pay us that kind of money ? „

 

Ryosuke : „ I saw this ad looking for potential stars. That's why I'm here. I know the stars management company is somewhere around here... Stars make tons of money, right ? I can pay you back in no time if I become a big star. „

 

Gangster 1 : „ A star management company ? „

 

Ryosuke : Do you know where it is ? It's called TAKASHIMA GROUP. I've been looking for it for the last 3 hours and still no luck. You've got to help me out. „

 

Gangster 1 : „ ...it's right there in front of you.“

 

Ryosuke : „ Oh! What is this ? The building is so old! No,it can't be... Is this really TAKASHIMA GROUP This is one ugly building!!! „

 

( ...I'm stuck. )

 

Ryosuke : „ It looks different from the picture in the flyer! It says right here that the company has state-of-the-art facilities, systematic training courses and access to a spa, lakeside park and a golf course with full boarding and a private car provided. Of course, all FREE OF CHARGE!!! But look at this building... It looks like it's haunted!!! „

 

( Oh, to tell you the truth... )

 

Gangster 1 : „ Oh ho, do you want to be a star ? Mirai, I didn't know the flyer would work. ...... „

 

Gangster 2 : „ Yes, now we have someone who will work for us! „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Hey, she is the owner of the company. Well, be nice to each other. The debt will be under Mirai. „

 

I : „ What ? What did you say ? „

 

Ryosuke : „ What ? She is the owner of the management company ? But she looks my age... „

 

I : „ ...sorry, for being young. „

 

Gangster 1 : „ Are you saying you don't like it ? You little kid... Do you want to face the slammer ? How about it! „

 

Ryosuke : „ I didn't say I don't like it but it seems like... I have to work like a slave to pay off the debt... Hm, let's see... If I make 30,000 yen a day that would add up to about 1,000,000 yen a month... So, how long would it take for me to pay off 10 billion yen ??? „

 

( Where did the 30,000 yen came from... )

 

Gangster 1 : „ Whatever! Now we have a poteential star. I'll give you a break on selling the building for a while. „

 

I : „ Thank you. „

 

Gangster 2 : „ By the way, he... is good-looking but... isn't he sort of too stupid for his looks? „

 

And everyone nods.

 

 

Ryosuke : Is this the office ? What's this stinky smell ? What the heck is this ?

 

( The contract is here somwhere... )

 

Ryosuke : „ Yuck... Is this... no... WAS THIS some kind of food ? „

 

I : „ Oh, yes. „

 

Ryosuke : „ The food is rotting. It's all black and mouldy... YUCK! This office needs some serious cleaning, lady! „

 

I : „ Oh. Shut-up. Sit down. „

 

Ryosuke : „ Okay. „

 

I : „ Then let's sign the contract. „

 

Ryousuke : „ I have a feeling that I will soon regret this... „

 

I : „ Good. This is it. Congratulations! Now Ryosuke belongs to TAKASHIMA COMPANY! „

 

Ryosuke : „ Err... Thanks ? „

 

I : „ Good work, Ryosuke! „
