The premise of breaking up in Tokyo

For the rest of the time, Katsuhiko sat next to Eiyo with his piggy bank in hand, his gaze following Eiyo's pert nose to Kotoha's smooth forehead, as he collected coins.

The faint rumble of a tram could be heard outside the window, the clock on the living room wall ticked, and the two people made soft sounds as they turned pages and pressed the calculator.

Katsuhiko got tired of sitting and started dropping coins into the piggy bank, changing his posture several times.

As for Eiyo and Kotoha, perhaps because they felt uncomfortable being stared at by Katsuhiko in pairs, they maintained the same posture, heads down, and continued to work.

Of course, because I had been sitting for so long, I would occasionally furrow my brow slightly and secretly move my joints.

"We can't finish this in a short time, let's take a break!"

Sheng Yan wanted to give them two glasses of plain water containing the whole bottle of [Recovery Potion], but considering that it was already 9 p.m. and they would have to go to sleep in a little over an hour, he gave up on this "using cattle and horses" method.

Both of them were indeed quite tired, so they put down their work, stretched their arms, and massaged the back of their necks.

Katsuhiko slid down the floor to Eiyo's back, gently placing his hands on her soft shoulders and saying, "I know some massage techniques, let me give you a massage."

"Hmm~~" Yingdai's body trembled slightly, and she instinctively squinted her eyes, tilted her head back slightly, and let out a soft nasal sound.

The main reason is that the shoulder and neck muscles are too tired. When someone suddenly presses on them like this, it feels extremely sore and refreshing, and it is especially relaxing and stress-relieving.

"Is this force alright?" Katsuhiko asked.

Yingdai's breathing became slightly heavy, and she pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Qin Ye glanced down in their direction, then staggered to her feet and said, "I'm going to the restroom..."

I guess they just wanted to give the two of them some alone time!

However, Kotoha had only taken two steps when Eiyo shakily got up, lightly pinched Katsuhiko's shoulder, and walked away with a flushed face, saying, "Don't stay here...you're so annoying..."

She felt that this was a way of showing off their affection in front of Qinye, and she felt quite awkward about it...

Seeing that it was getting late, Sheng Yan quickly got up, caught up with Ying Dai, patted her on the bottom, and said, "See you tomorrow."

It was as if Yingdai had springs installed in his buttocks; his hips suddenly lurched forward, and his legs went limp, almost causing him to fall. He then turned around in astonishment.

"What's wrong?" Katsuhiko asked in surprise. "Are you that sensitive?"

"You...you get out of here!" Yingdai covered her buttocks, her eyes almost brimming with tears, and shouted in a low voice, filled with shame and anger.

Katsuhiko didn't linger any longer. The convenience store closed at 10 p.m., which was a good time to go there and pick up Sayuri to go back to the apartment together.

When they arrived at the convenience store, Mikoto and Sayuri had just pulled down the shutter door, and Chinatsu was also there.

"Wow~ Little Lily, you're so lucky, your husband's come to pick you up from get off work." Mikoto placed the drowsy Chinatsu on the back of her bicycle, covering her mouth and giggling, "So enviable."

"You can also have your boyfriend pick you up from school!" Sayuri giggled, linking her arm with Katsuhiko's and looking up at him. "Honey, let's go home!"

Katsuhiko tilted his head and said to Mikoto, "If you have time, bring your boyfriend over so we can have a meal together."

"Sure~" Mikoto said shyly, touching her face with one hand. "But my boyfriend is very busy, so he probably won't have much time."

There was only one bicycle in the shop, so Katsuhiko took Sayuri's hand and they walked back together.

Sayuri seemed very excited, holding Katsuhiko's fingers, turning her head with a silly grin, and said, "Honey, I've already told my parents, and they're very supportive of us. They even said they're going to go to the bank to withdraw money so they can give me a dowry of 30 yen after the holiday, hehe..."

She smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and her bright black eyes narrowed into slits.

"Then I'll have to work harder and try to start a big company, make something of myself, and let my parents-in-law see what I'm made of."

For example, videotape production companies...

Back in the apartment, as soon as they closed the door, the two started getting all lovey-dovey again, after all, they were young and full of energy.

Busy with her work, Sayuri, panting, wrapped her arms around Katsuhiko's neck, whispered in his ear, "Honey~ I'm so short, don't you find it troublesome?"

Many times, Sheng Yan picked her up. Although the feeling of weightlessness was quite nice, wouldn't it be too tiring for her husband?

Today, Yingdai's height and figure greatly impressed her.

"There was never any trouble, only excitement. I grabbed the sheets and went to the kitchen; the stove was quite high."

"..."

-

Tonight, Mikoto is not intimidated at all by facing her husband's two girlfriends alone, but she needs to think carefully about how to maintain good relations with them.

Qinye is temporarily excluded, not only because of emotional issues, but also because she is still wearing her wedding ring on her ring finger.

This confirms that Sheng Yan definitely did not label her as his "girlfriend".

Tonight I'm dealing with Eiyo, who seems quite resentful. But I definitely can't confront her head-on, since Eiyo is at a disadvantage in every way, especially since she's currently a boarding student and is probably going through a sensitive period.

Mikoto brought Chinatsu back to her front door. She intended to open the door with her key, but then put the key away and rang the doorbell instead.

The walkie-talkie was connected by the British agent.

"Eiyo-chan, I forgot my keys, could you please open the door for me?"

"Okay, okay."

Yingdai suppressed a slightly uneasy tone.

A moment later, Eide opened the door, with Qinye following behind.

Yingdai's eyes were somewhat unfocused, while Qinye lowered her head, appearing both polite and somewhat forlorn.

"Eiyo-chan, could you please carry Chinatsu-chan for me? I need to lock the front door."

"Oh, okay, sure."

Yingdai awkwardly took the drowsy Chika into her arms.

Mikoto glanced at her cautious manner. Although Katsuhiko had never said whether Eiyo had a child, it was obvious at a glance that this was definitely the first time she had held a baby today.

"Thanks~" Mikoto locked the door and then took Chinatsu from her. "Come on in!"

Mikoto carried Chinatsu into the nursery and was changing her diaper when Eiyo stood at the door, her fingers tapping the door frame, glancing sideways at Mikoto with an expressionless face.

After settling Chinatsu in, Mikoto turned to look at her with a questioning gaze and said, "It's time to sleep."

Yingdai tilted her head slightly, now facing the trash can by the door, where a used condom lay. She quickly turned away, her face flushed, and asked, "Are you... are you willing to accept this?"

Eiyo assumed that Mikoto felt similarly to her, since they both had "Mrs. Sayuri" weighing on their heads. Of course, Eiyo also felt that she was under more pressure. If Sayuri was on her head, then Mikoto was sitting on her shoulders.

Mikoto glanced at the trash can subconsciously. Although she felt a little ashamed, Eiyo seemed to be more embarrassed.

Mikoto chuckled to herself, coughed lightly, and said, "I've never thought about that kind of question."

"But this can't possibly last long!" Eiyo rubbed her fingers against the door frame, muttering to herself with a look of resentment, "At this rate, we're becoming a vassal, unable to do anything, with no future..."

"Didn't Mr. Takenaka tell you? He said he would do his best to save the factory and let you go back and run it yourselves. That way, there's a future for you! Create your own value, realize your own dreams, and in the future, you'll also cooperate with my convenience store. It's a deep partnership, like a joint venture! We sisters are one."

Mikoto wasn't sure what Katsuhiko was planning, but considering Sayuri's situation, she could roughly guess his intentions. She'd ask Katsuhiko later…

"He... he said that...?" Eiyo murmured to herself for a long while, then, seemingly unconsciously, glanced at the trash can, clenched her fist, and glanced sideways at Mikoto, saying, "That's because he's unwilling to accept it!"

"Oh, you're jealous..." Mikoto covered her mouth with one hand, hiding her lips that were about to curve into a smile, then walked over to Eiyo and whispered, "It's really embarrassing to tell you this, but if you and Mr. Takenaka... well, actually, it's quite scary. You know, you'll suddenly have a strong will to survive, and you'll really hope someone will come and save you. Do you understand?"

"What do you mean?" Yingdai was completely baffled.

Mikoto stared at the trash can, seemingly gripped by immense fear, and said, "He's too powerful; no one can handle him alone..."

Yingdai also looked at the trash can, her puzzled gaze suddenly freezing. She seemed to have caught her breath, coughing and choking, her face flushed as she turned away, saying, "I...I'm going to sleep..."

Mikoto was also quite helpless, after all, this kind of thing was really too embarrassing to talk about, but in order to prevent Eiyo from competing with her for anything, she could only do it this way, taking advantage of Eiyo's thin skin...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Katsuhiko woke up at 7 a.m. in his apartment in Okubo.

Breakfast was already set on the table.

Little Lily was kneeling next to the cupboard, grinning foolishly, circling the number May 6th over and over again, with the note: "Collecting the household registration transcript."

I also drew a smiley face, Mrs. Takenaka and Mr. Takenaka.

Today is May 4th, there are two days left.

Katsuhiko placed his hand on her waist and gently stroked her smooth waist and hip curves for a while before getting up and getting dressed.

I'll prepare all the necessary documents for registering the videotape company today...

At 8:30 a.m., Katsuhiko rode his bicycle and brought Sayuri to Mikoto's convenience store.

Mikoto also happened to circle May 6th on the calendar with a red pen, a reserved smile on her face.

She heard the doorbell ring, and Sayuri entered the room arm in arm with Katsuhiko.

Mikoto immediately shoved the calendar into the small drawer, stood up, and said, "Good morning, Sayuri-chan! Why are you so happy today?"

"Good morning, Mikoto-neechan! Hehe!"

Sayuri let go of Katsuhiko's arm and skipped into the game corner behind the shelf.

Mikoto glanced at Katsuhiko with a smile, then asked softly, "Takenaka-san, how was last night?"

"Gossip, I'll shut you up later." Katsuhiko quickly pinched Mikoto's fair chin and said, "Prepare the mortgage documents for the property and ask the bank how much they can lend. I want to start a videotape company with Tanaka Yutaka, and you'll be the president."

"What company?"

Sheng Yan calmly explained the type of videotape company.

Mikoto blushed and waved her hand, saying, "I don't want to be the president of that kind of company."

"Alright, then I'll just give you investment dividends."

Katsuhiko went around to the cashier, picked up the landline, and called Tanaka Yutaka to inquire about his schedule for the day and whether he had completed yesterday's tasks.

For Yutaka Tanaka, this was a piece of cake.

When he got back, he told his buddies, and the news spread quickly. He immediately recruited ten young men who had never been in a relationship, and they were all blushing with excitement.

For young men who have only seen the film and know nothing about the filming location, the prospect of experiencing something without spending money, and even having to choose which one to have, still holds a lot of fantasies.

Tanaka Yutaka has already arranged for his underlings to contact the actresses one by one.

Those "actresses" thought Tanaka Yutaka had sent people to collect debts, so they were always hiding and their work wasn't progressing very quickly.

Of course, it will take at least a week before filming officially begins, so there's no rush.

Tanaka Yutaka also borrowed a lot of learning materials from the library, and is now at home with a few studious younger brothers, watching movies and frantically learning filming techniques.

When Sheng Yan made the call, strange sounds, like "ee-yah-yah" and "crying," came through the receiver.

After Tanaka Yutaka gave a detailed report on today's work progress, his tone suddenly became lazy, and he said:

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I need to go study... you bastard!" Tanaka Yutaka suddenly cursed into the phone, and the sound of slapping could be heard from the receiver. "I rented this to you so you could study, what are you doing?! Pull up your pants! Pull them up!"

He seems quite busy… Katsuhiko cut to the chase and said directly, “When you find actresses, just tell them that we will provide them with the same benefits as a formal company, including insurance and contracts…”

"Are you crazy?"

Before Katsuhiko could finish speaking, Tanaka Yutaka exclaimed in surprise.

"These jobs are all part-time! They're replaced in batches, and each person only lasts five or six years at most. What kind of foolish company would pay their insurance? The ones I found are all streetwalkers; they can only last a year or two at most. Providing them with medical care would be a huge expense! Are you doing this as welfare or making money? If you have money, you might as well donate it to me directly. I can bring five hundred brothers to back you up."

"Your suggestion is worth considering. I have my own plans. If we lose money, it's on me; if we make money, we'll split it."

"Fine, I don't have a penny in my pocket anyway, so I'm not afraid of losing money. Let me tell you, I'm only with you because you know Miss. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even look at them. Reimburse me for the rental of the videotapes later..."

After a lengthy, conciliatory complaint, Tanaka Yutaka hung up the phone.

Medical expenses are definitely a significant expenditure, not to mention unemployment insurance, pension insurance... The profession of adult film actress is almost inherently tragic, with only a handful successfully transitioning to a more respectable lifestyle. In the past thirty years, only a handful, such as Ai Iijima and Sora Aoi, have managed to successfully transition and make a clean break. Even after transitioning, their past controversies have made their lives difficult. Ai Iijima died of illness in her apartment at the age of 36, and her body was only discovered by her landlord a week later.

Mikoto, standing next to Katsuhiko, kept blinking.

Tanaka Yutaka's shouts were quite loud, and Mikoto vaguely heard a lot of them.

Although Mikoto didn't know anything about the "special actress" industry, she had heard a lot of news and met people who worked in this industry. Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of them died alone and could never get married again.

Moreover, his life after being unable to work was particularly miserable. Almost all the money he earned went to the hospital, and he eventually died quietly.

Mikoto remained uninvolved in Katsuhiko's decision. Although it seemed like he wasn't making any money, she felt he was so loving and noble.

Mikoto knew that the reason she had such brainless thoughts was probably because she had a different kind of love-struck mind than Sayuri.

But there was nothing she could do; he had completely overwhelmed her, and she didn't want to resist at all, because it was just too easy...

Of course, for Sheng Yan, it's a sure thing that he'll make a profit.

There is a "recovery potion" that, when diluted and secretly drunk, can only be a miracle of the human immune system.

We can also wait until the business grows big enough to shut down the energy drink "Blue Bull"...

Even if the actresses can no longer appear on screen, there is a "focus potion" that allows them to learn skills and work in a beverage processing factory, which would be a good option. They can work healthily until they retire in their sixties or seventies.

Let's set a rule for filming: all actresses should wear custom-made masks on camera. This will not only add interest but also maintain a sense of mystery. That way, when they retire, they can confidently find an honest man to marry.
