Chapitre 9: A miraculously powerful hand chop
"Takayuki? Takayuki?"
After driving to the first designated entertainment venue location of Takayuki, Sayuri pushed Takayuki in the passenger seat.
However, Takayuki seemed to be sleeping soundly and did not wake up immediately.
Sayuri blinked, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to disturb Takayuki for now.
He really hasn't slept for several days.
Although she didn't know why Takayuki had so much energy, it seemed that people also had limits.
Let him sleep like this, and I'll go out and show you what I can do, demonstrating my business skills.
These days I haven't been working diligently for you, but you still manage to pay the wages on time, making me feel a little embarrassed.
With that in mind, Sayuri got out of the driver's seat and then laboriously lifted a TV and a game console.
The TV and game console weren't too heavy originally, although she was a girl, she could still manage to lift these things.
Then, she stepped into an entertainment venue in Tokyo for the first time.
In the past, she was a relatively conservative girl.
Whether it was elementary school, junior high school, or university, she was the standard obedient girl, diligent and studious.
At the same time, she also believed that studying could change her fate and allow her to live a leisurely and beautiful life.
However, as she gradually grew up, she gradually realized that as a girl, she seemed destined to never truly have a free and beautiful life.
Her future seemed to be confined to the sole option of being a housewife.
So she decided to be self-reliant. Starting from university, she refused any money from home and worked hard to earn money by herself.
Bit by bit, coupled with the student loans she applied for herself, she managed to complete her studies.
But after graduation, her skills made it difficult for her to find a suitable job.
Until she met Takayuki.
After that, this relatively conservative girl had a little sense of openness for the first time.
However, entering the entertainment venue was still a first for her.
As soon as she entered the entertainment venue, she was greeted by deafening music.
On the wall, there was a row of soundproof private karaoke rooms, resembling independent telephone booths.
And further back, there were rows of pachinko machines.
This was a type of gambling machine unique to Japan and one of the few 'legal' things that skirted the edge.
Pachinko was the most popular machine here, with almost every machine occupied by a hunched-over, vacant-eyed otaku from the Heisei era or someone who had fallen on hard times.
The economic bubble had completely robbed them of their aspirations, and they eventually sunk here.
To be honest, Sayuri didn't particularly like this atmosphere.
Then, in the center of the hall, there were several rows of conspicuous claw machines and dance machines.
Back in university and junior high, the girls around her often enthusiastically discussed how many points they scored on the dance machine or the precious dolls they caught in the claw machine.
There were also some capsule toy machines that some kids liked.
These seemed to have become popular recently, becoming the machines that children were most fond of lingering around in the entertainment venue.
Because the entire entertainment venue catered to both adults and children, in order to avoid influencing the children, the entertainment venue would at least have clear separations to ensure that children wouldn't wander into the area of the pachinko machines.
At least many store owners in this era still had some basic moral standards and didn't go crazy to destroy a child's mentality for the sake of money.
This entertainment venue was the liveliest one in this area, and there were many people.
Sayuri, carrying a game console and a TV, indeed attracted many customers who entered the entertainment venue together.
They all looked at Sayuri with curious eyes, wondering what this young girl was doing here with these things.
"Hello miss, do you have something you need?"
Sayuri's entrance was indeed conspicuous.
So the service staff, who usually welcomed and guided different customers to different areas at the entrance, came up to inquire about Sayuri's purpose.
Sayuri carefully placed the TV and game console on the ground, then sighed lightly.
Then she bowed slightly and said, "Hello, may I see the manager of your establishment? I have a good business deal I'd like to discuss with your manager."
"A business deal?"
The waiter glanced down at the peculiar red and white machine and the TV, feeling doubtful.
He didn't understand what they were for and why someone would bring them in for business.
But since it was about business, this waiter also had to be cautious.
If he caused the manager to lose a deal because of himself, he might be fired directly.
People working here couldn't possibly have lifetime employment, and the boss could fire them at any moment.
"Alright, please wait here, I'll be back immediately."
Sayuri nodded, and the waiter immediately walked into the depths of the entertainment venue.
The entire entertainment venue covered a very large area, with nearly 1000 square meters on just one floor.
And this entertainment venue occupied three floors in total.
The first and second floors were all kinds of entertainment facilities, while the third floor was a karaoke room for gatherings.
The manager's office was located on the second floor.
Taking advantage of the waiter's departure, Sayuri began to carefully observe the surroundings.
In front of the capsule toy machines, some children were already concentrating on watching the toys come out.
Of course, among the group of children, there were also a few otaku who were equally immersed, hoping to get good peripherals from the capsule toy machines.
On the dance machine, several brightly dressed girls were jumping freely, expressing their youth through this method.
The noise was deafening, and Sayuri still felt a little uncomfortable in this environment.
Faintly, she could also hear the off-tune singing from the private karaoke rooms.
She really didn't understand why anyone would like such a noisy place.
Sayuri felt that this was not a suitable place for electronic games.
"Hello, I'm the manager here. Did you say you wanted to discuss a business deal with me, miss?"
Just as Sayuri was still observing the surrounding environment, a voice suddenly startled her.
"Wow!"
Sayuri took a step back, swung her hands vigorously, and with a slap, Sayuri's hand struck the owner of the voice fiercely.
It was a shiny bald head. After being struck by the hand chop, the bald head trembled slightly, and the person began to lean to one side.
"Manager!" the waiter exclaimed.
And Sayuri seemed to realize something, quickly retracted her hand, and bowed repeatedly in panic, "I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry, I didn't mean it!"
"No, I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have come up behind you and spoken to you."
