《Owning a cute little pet》I have no idea what I'm doing!

Well, my proposition was accepted VERY well.
In fact, as soon as the first shock diminished, the plan was immediately taken up by the other men at the table and they evolved and perfected it with their own ideas. After all they had a far better overlook of the capabilities of the organization as well as an understanding of such kind of missions.
Within only half an hour a complete plan had been prepared and men had been instructed to gather the necessary resources for the mission.
“I have to say Ryan-sama, that I did not expect you to be this cable.”, Mr. Tanaka said with a wide smile. Now that there was a solution to the organization’s problem he seemed far more relaxed and kind.
Wow that’s a strange thing to say about a leading character of a yakuza group.
“I do not deserve this praise.”, I remained humble. Of course, I felt really proud for easily dissolving a problem that these old men couldn’t solve, but what else could you expect from an academic? (Yeah, I’m feeling sick of my narcism too…)
“I’ve heard that the boss of the local Chinese mafia has a beautiful daughter!”, suddenly one of the old men said.
“How about we force that old horse to give her to our boss?”
Oh please, why do we have to go down this road again???
Sadly, the idea was embraced even faster than my original one and the old men began to plot a way to force some young woman into becoming my bedwarmer. Of course, they immediately received aid by a certain person sitting at the table.
Shiina instantly joined the fray and helped them to come up with strangely realistic idea’s.
Seriously, shouldn’t that girl be worried about her position????
I choose to tacitly ignore them and instead talked to old Hawatabe.

“If possible, I would like to remain anonymous. It would be bad if someone found out that I lead an Japanese crime organization…”, how was I supposed to continue my studies if I was a known criminal?
The elderly man nodded seriously. “I will make sure that there will be no leaks about your identity!”
I nodded relieved and thanked him.
After that I took Shiina and we left the building. It wouldn’t be wise to stay here to long, after all I had told Jill to call the police in case we did not come back in time. I was given a phone we would use for communication and a meeting was scheduled in one week. The day after the planned date for the ‘coupe’.
I was quite eager to return home. One reason was that I didn’t want Jill to call the cops, the other one was that I remembered that I had to tell Shiina about the Japan thing.
It’s been only one day since the professor told me about it, but honestly it felt like a whole month. I really wanted to tell her and get her opinion on the matter and the longer I waited the more anxious I became about the response I was going to get.
But once again, there was no way it could just happen the way I want it to, right?
When we finally returned to the flat Jill was standing in front of my flat, anxiously staring at her phone. It seems my pretty short message had stressed her our more than I imagined. Luckily she hadn’t yet called the police or else I would be in trouble explaining to them that I had become the boss of the yakuza group that kidnapped me.
“Sorry for worrying you!”, I said with an apologetic face.
At first, she seemed a little angry about my far to short message and the fact that I was obviously ok. I guess she was suspecting that I simply pranked her. Fortunately, after telling her that it had to do with Shiina’s family (which is technically correct), she calmed down and also stopped asking.

“Honestly, your life is really fucked up since Shiina is here…”, she said with a defeated expression.
I smiled wryly.
“Everything has a price.”
I enjoy the company of a beauty way above my league and became hair to a crime syndicate, in exchange my life is more ’exciting’ than the one of other people. Though depending on the person this could also be a good thing….
Jill nodded approvingly.
“There’s another thing I have to talk about with you…”, she suddenly said. Her expression turned a little grave.
“But I suppose it is better if I just show it to you.”
Once again, we were dragged out of the building and Jill led us into a more remote area of the city. The world just won’t allow me to take a breather!
I had never visited this area of the city since it is quite some distance away from the campus and the city center I usual visit. Also, it had a quite…. Let’s just say infamous reputation.
To be frank it was the red light district of the city.
I was a little confused what Jill could want here, but at the same time I had vague idea what was going on.
As I though Jill led us into one of the more hidden establishments, only a small sign with an mysterious sign on it hinted at the existence of the club.
Inside the lighting was dim, but the air was fresher than I though. There was a strong smell of alcohol, but no smoke or other drugs I could notice at first glance.
A few rows of tables were scattered around the room with some customers sitting there and drinking their dubiously named drinks.
Three girls, no older than nineteen years old served the drinks while wearing only a short apron. Their backsides were completely bare and every time they bend down it became obvious that their lower parts were also shaved bare.
Just when we came in one of the customers, a man in his thirties, indicated one of the girls to sit down on his lap and started to grope her large assets.
“You… started a brothel?”, I honestly couldn’t claim that I was shocked.
Jill nodded and I could see that she was quite proud of what she had created.
“It’s not really a brothel though, more like a bar that allows a good view and a little bit of skin ship. Intercourse it strictly forbidden tho.”, she pointed at a sign on the wall that said:
NO INTERCOURCE!
“Unfortunately, …”, her expression became serious again.
“You are being harassed by the mafia.”, I had already realized what the problem was.
Jill stared at me without bothering to hide the surprise in her eyes.
“How did you know?”, she asked with amazement.
I laughed and shrugged with my shoulders. “It isn’t hard to guess; the yakuza control the entire industry in this city after all!”
“But how do you know that?”, oh she seems to have caught on.
I smiled mysteriously. “Let’s just say that I have some connections to that guys. Don’t worry, I will take care of this problem.”
Once again Jill looked at me in amazement.
“Just what did you get yourself involved in?”
Believe me, I have no idea either!

Logical consciousness before birth ,however impossible with the udder lack of brain cells was quite the gift. One could see it as a curse, stuck alone in a dark and near silent womb for months with little need for rest. Phycological torture for those who couldn't grapple with the thought of such a miraculous time. After all if such awareness was available before the proper Brain matter was grown them how would one gain consciousness? Well there is only one simple and miraculous word to describe it. Magic. Whether it was a highly organized magic system, a chaotic mash of dark arts, or some divine intervention it could be considered to be magic non the less. And magic? Well one had plenty of time in the womb to discover and train it. And that was exactly what one would do if they found themselves in such a situation! Thanks to WifuLabs for the cover.
