Chapter 222 – Driver’s License

Shortly after Masayoshi Kishimoto and Meiling Sakai returned home, dinner was served. The three of them were still sitting around in front of the round table in the small living room.

No matter how much Sakai Misuzu’s affectionate gaze flowed towards Kishimoto Masayoshi, he ignored it and acted as if nothing had happened with her on the way back.

As for Sakai Meiling’s confession to himself, he would not take it to heart at all, just as a joke, finished. If he took it seriously, he would have lost.

However, although Masayoshi Kishimoto felt that Sakai Mirei was greedy and gold-digging, she was not hypocritical. It was becoming increasingly rare to find such a straight person in Tokyo.

People who had lived in this cosmopolitan city for a long time not only had ninety-nine twists and turns in their bellies, but had also long ago developed the skill of wearing a mask of human skin and saying polite things on their faces.

Moreover, in his opinion, a seventeen-year-old girl in the rainy season, simply do not know what is called love, but only the normal psychological and physiological reaction catalyzed by youth hormones.

Sakai Rie suddenly put a driver’s license in front of Kishimoto Masayoshi and said, “I can drive.”

Kishimoto Masayoshi understood at once that the true meaning of her words was that she needed a car to drive. He took her driver’s license in his right hand and looked at it, “You’re new to driving, so you’ll need a lot of care.

My dark blue Porsche 911 will be given to you to drive first! After you’re fully skilled, then I’ll buy you a new car.”

“I don’t want your Porsche 911, I don’t know how many women you’ve used it to drive. I don’t know how many women you’ve used it to drive. You’ve even shaken it, it’s dirty.” Rie Sakai said in a serious manner.

“Even though what you said is not true, but you have to think so, it’s futile for me to explain. Fine, fine. I’ll just buy you a new car.

I’ll buy you whatever car you like.” Masayoshi Kishimoto knew deep down that she would never be able to erase her past image of a prodigal son inside her mind.

“I want the red Ferrari.” Sakai Rie said casually as she glanced at him.

“Let alone a red Ferrari, even a red Porsche 918, I’ll buy it for you.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.

“So generous? Are you doing something wrong behind my back?” Sakai Rie habitually brought on the gaze of a police officer scrutinizing a murder suspect to stare at him and said.

“Buy it for you! You have to say that I’ve done something bad behind your back. If I say I won’t buy it for you, what are you going to say I’m not?” Masayoshi Kishimoto had long ago grown accustomed to this way of her talking to herself said.

“I didn’t freeload on you. I’ve written down the dates in a small notebook, the year, the month, the day, and the hour, and every amount of money I took from you, what I acquired, and all the rest is spelled out in detail. Later …… Later, we will pay you back.”

Even though Sakai Rie tried to keep a serious expression on her face, she couldn’t help but feel less confident in her heart that she had lived with him in the beginning.

Pay back? With what? Can you pay it back? Even if she didn’t count the interest, according to the annual income of a newcomer to the workplace, she would be lucky to be able to support herself. With just one job, there wouldn’t be much money left over to pay off her past debts.

Since the Asian financial turmoil, the salaries of the majority of ordinary wage earners in Japanese society have long been much lower than they were before the financial turmoil.

Even without the Asian financial turmoil, many of them will not get any salary increase in the future for a long time.

After all, the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble in the early 1990s had a serious impact on the future growth rate of the Japanese economy. At its worst, the unemployment rate was nearly half.

In other words, one out of two people in the labor force was unemployed. In the minds of many people, they were lucky not to be laid off.

Nowadays, they are lucky if they do not get a pay cut. The only thing that they can feel good about is that Japan’s currency devaluation and inflation rate are both staying low at the moment.

The average college graduate who owes a large amount of money for college loans, even if they work, will have to stay frugal for years, spending money in half, and renting a small, old house.

If you have a lot of loans, it can take twenty or thirty years, no less than the mortgage payment. For this reason, there is even a situation where one third of them can’t pay it back and go bankrupt.

“Just buy me a Suzuki Alto.” Sakai Rie said as she harmonized what she had in mind.

Immediately, Masayoshi Kishimoto thought of the joke about the Alto being Audi’s little brother. Even if he could tell that she genuinely only wanted the Alto, a poor man’s car, he wouldn’t buy it for her.

“I’ll kindly remind you, don’t forget your official membership in the Rosebud Society.” Justice Kishimoto said seriously.

“How did I manage to forget this one?” Sakai Rie immediately deflated like a balloon.

“The Rosy Society? Brother Justice, what does that do?” Sakai Meiling’s interest burst out all of a sudden and said.

“A small group of noblewomen and thousand-dollar ladies who gather in the West Sesame cloth in the harbor area.” Masayoshi Kishimoto explained.

“Oh …… isn’t it just like the way it’s portrayed in movies and TV dramas, with luxury cars, designer bags, and all sorts of luxurious and dreamy lifestyles.” Sakai Meiling’s pair of eyes instantly glowed and shone as she said.

“I don’t know, that’s something I’ll have to ask your sister.” Masayoshi Kishimoto really wasn’t pushing his luck and said.

“Sis, sis, why don’t you tell me properly!” Sakai Meiling’s interest was particularly high as she said.

“What’s there to tell. Every time we get together, we can’t say a few words about anything serious, but we can talk endlessly about all sorts of gossip.

They’re either comparing this or that.” Rie Sakai, as someone who had experienced it firsthand, summarized it succinctly.

“I want to join in too. Sis, would it be okay if you were to be my introduction to the club?” Sakai Meiling, whose heart yearned for this kind of flashy life, said.

“The initiation fee is one million dollars, do you have it? That’s still the least important condition. Do you have a property in the area? It must be a villa with a single house. Then there’s the fact that the annual household income is no less than 50 million yen.

There are party activities at least once a week. Unless there are special circumstances, if a full member does not take leave of absence voluntarily, and there are two consecutive times that he/she does not participate in the group activities of the Rosebud Club, then it is considered as an automatic withdrawal from the club.

Every gathering place is either a golf course or a five-star hotel. Anyway, it is similar to these high consumption places. The expenses for each one are also subject to another AA system, and they cost a lot.” Rie Sakai calmly said.

“I really don’t have any of these, as you say. Could it be that you have it just by yourself? It’s still not thanks to Brother Justice’s light.” Sakai Meiling said with a small mouth.
