Desire 25

Though notable for his problems, Takashi isn't the only Fujii cursed with female troubles! When a relative arrives to begin work in Tokyo, he may be able to help him learn the ropes...hopefully it isn't too much for him though!

File: 25: THREE PERSONS

141.
Takashi: Fujii Kazuki, 23 years old, Law Graduate of Hokkaido U. This spring, my younger cousin Kazuki came to Tokyo from Hokkaido to be a new company worker.

142.
Takashi: Congratulations on finding a job.
Sign: Hometown Cooking: SHOUHEI
Takashi: My little brother Yuuji too has passed into Waseda U. We've continued to be happy.
(TN: I assume that "W-Dai" is "Waseda" considering it's one of the biggest universities in Japan)
Kazuki: Congratulations.
Takashi: We brothers have gathered so we can start new lives in Tokyo.
Kazuki: You would think of a target you'd want to stand firm on!!

143.
Kazuki: Takashi-san, you're 28 this year. Have you thought about marriage?
Takashi: I haven't had the chance to meet with that sort of woman.
Takashi: Kazuki-kun, do you have a lover...?
Kazuki: I've been really lazy on women since I was rejected in my second year of college. I've only gone out with one woman both before and after that. That's the lonely life of a student.
(TN: The part in the second bubble that Kazuki says here about the "one woman before and after" is really difficult, need better assistance with it)
Kazuki: It seems that having no relation with women is the pedigree of the Fujii family.
Takashi: Ha ha
Takashi: Then, since we're celebrating your hiring tonight, how about we go to a club where there are girls?
Kazuki: Al...right, please do so.

144.
Caption: GINZA
(TN: Ginza, located in Chuuou prefecture of Tokyo, is considered the upscale shopping district of Tokyo, equivalent to 5th Avenue of New York)
Takashi: With a cute mother and uniformily beautiful girls, as well as an honest fee, the club "Lei" is a little-known great place in Ginza.
Kazuki: A club in Ginza...I'm nervous.
Takashi: It's fine to think that being a new trainee.

145.
"Woman": Welcome--
"Woman": Huh, Ta-chan, it's been a while---!
Takashi: Ah, same!
Kazuki: .........
Takashi: She's merely the knife, but she's one with both a glamorous body and a mother's charm.
(TN: I say "she's merely the knife" due to the term that Takashi uses for her, "kodzuka", which is a knife attached to the sheaf of a sword, therefore she is merely the "knife" as opposed to an actual sword)

146.
Takashi: Today isn't for business, it's a celebration for my cousin's hiring.
(TN: Another weird term: Takashi mentions that this isn't for "settai", which in this case is "business entertainment, probably something connected to his job)
"Woman": Eh...it's private!
"Woman": That's great! Come with me if it's private.
Card: Club LEI: KAWAJIMA Lei
Takashi: The mother is two years older than me. She doesn't seem it.
Kazuki: Huh...then she's 30!! She really doesn't seem it!

147.
Girls: Welcome--
Kazuki: ......
Girl: Pardon m--e.
Takashi: Looking at the confused Kazuki, he was like myself when I joined my company.
Lei: Since we're not together with our best customers today, make yourself at home.
Takashi: Eh...right. If you say that, why don't I slowly talk with you?
Lei: Here's your chance to play with me...!
Takashi: Well...! You'll kill your fans.

148.
Lei: Ta-chan, you truly don't have a lover; I may be older than you, but can't I be a candidate for you?
Takashi: I had heard that Tanaka from Overseas Loans had been approached from you but
Lei: That's a misunderstanding from him.
Lei: I have five that I love now. Among them, you're the best one!
Takashi: I'm honored.
Lei: You don't believe it because it's true.

149.
Girl: Mama, it's manager Nakamura of the necktie enterprise.
Lei: Ah, right.
Lei: Pardon me. Make yourself at home.
Lei: I have urgent business with an invitation for golf...pardon me.
Nakamura: Then, how about next week?
Takashi: Even though I grasped her business, I skillfully drank my sake as I took in the approach from the Ginza mother.
Takashi: Surrounded by beauties, Kazuki also was aroused. There wasn't a greater congratulations for his hiring.

150.
Lei: Misaki-chan, can you please take manager Nakamura?
Misaki: OK.
Lei: Well, let's do more drinking! Since I've left you for last, how about we go to Roppongi? There's a nice club there.
(TN: Roppongi in Minato is another notable nightclub spot in Tokyo)
Kazuki: Well--that was great. I'm completely absorbed in this.
Lei: Then this time you should go with a superior at MHK
Kazuki: OK, I'll give it publicity.
Takashi: This is crowded...
Lei: Ah, driver-san. Go straight and then make a left.

151.
Takashi: A left turn is the opposite direction of Roppongi......
Lei: Make a right at the 2nd light. We're near my apartment. We have a bit of time until we go to Roppongi.
Kazuki: Ta...Takashi-san, do you know of the mother's home...?
Takashi: No, my first time.
Kazuki: Well~~today, I've studied many things about society.
Lei: Both of you should relax. You don't have to pay here.

152.
Lei: Is he asleep?
Takashi: Well, we'll gradually.
Lei: Stay here tonight.
Lei: My approach...can't we be serious?
Takashi: .........

153.
Lei: Don't misunderstand me...I'm not capable of doing this as a Ginza mother, who sells bodies for discount for her business. But myself as a woman...I too have days where I indulge in pure desire.
Takashi: .........

154.
Lei: I'm serious! Touch them, they're wet.
Takashi: .........
Takashi: We...well, me with you...but I'm together with Kazuki today.
Kazuki: Uh...well...
Takashi: Wh...what!! You've woken up!!
Kazuki: I...I'm going home.

155.
Lei: Maybe you shouldn't go home
Lei: How about.........a threesome?
Kazuki: A...three...!?
Lei: Of course, this is a first for me but
Takashi: It's not that the Fujii family hasn't had relations with women; you may have this chance to be set free now...
Kazuki: .........

156.
(Yeah...nothing to say)

157.
(Yeah...threesome)

158.
(And...more)

159.
Kazuki: ......
Lei: AH...
Kazuki: Uo
Kazuki: Ah...

160.
Lei: AH

161.
Kazuki: ......
Lei: AAH
Kazuki: This...isn't the Takashi-san that I know...!! He's like a veteran master!!

162.
Takashi: Uh.
Lei: How about the three of us live together!!
Takashi: Um.

163.
Lei: We--ll then! I was joking, joking.
Takashi & Kazuki: .........
Lei: Thanks for coming.
Takashi: Well I'll drop by when I'm near.
Kazuki: Thanks.
Takashi: Your job-finding celebration was a bit too much in stimulation.
Kazuki: No!! It was a wonderful training for a newcomer.
Takashi: It was. Do your best!!

TN: I think that while some people probably were thinking that I was going to end up thinking "Mrs. Robinson" with this chapter (yeah I know, two years but she's still technically an older woman), what ended up playing in my head was more the back-and-forth music that was in "Animal House", where we go between this "sensuous salsa" with one of the frat members seducing the deans wife...and then cut to "Theme from 'A Summer Place'" when we see another Delta doing a young teen! So sue me...I've seen that movie quite a bit lately. As for the chapter itself...well, this chapter introduces probably our next major male character: Takashi's younger cousin Kazuki. He's probably a bit more emotional compared to Takashi starting out but somehow his tales should give us a different perspective compared to Takashi himself. As for the woman of the chapter...yeah, Lei was a man-eater, wasn't she. The whole scenario she ran from being the "mother of a girl club" to that threesome really did make me want to think of "Mrs. Robinson's seduction", but it just made me think of "Theme from 'A Summer Place'"...I really need to adjust my imagination, don't I!? (that and...two men and one woman!? Too many men for my ideal concept of a threesome)
