Three minutes ago.
Amamiya Haruki, who had changed his appearance through disguise, stopped in front of the door of the Black Wutong Club holding a flyer that had been folded many times.
He raised his head to glance at the deserted store, then looked at the poster of feasting and revelry posted at the door. In the center of the poster, a blond boy wearing sexy clothes was smiling and holding a glass of wine, as if he was about to clink glasses with someone.
Amamiya Haruki's expression was a little stiff.
When the noodle shop owner handed him the flyer, he said that he had a friend who opened a shop in Dotonbori, but the shop seemed to be short-staffed. He also said that if he could be hired by the owner of this shop, he should be able to make a lot of money in a short time.
So, Amamiya Haruki walked here with the flyer.
At first, he thought it was just an ordinary restaurant, but until he stood at the door of the store himself and saw the suggestive posters at the door and the color tone of the interior decoration, he realized... this was a gigolo club.
The closed glass door of the store reflected the shadow of Amamiya Haruki. In the mirror image, behind him stood a figure in white clothes and white hair, holding an umbrella.
"This is a gigolo club." His voice echoed in Amamiya Haruki's ears.
“…I can see that.”
"Are you really going to work here?" The voice paused. "The master of Huojin Jiudao, a wanted criminal of the "Fierce Ghost" level, a man who is determined to change this country... and now you want to be a gigolo?"
Amamiya Haruki's eyes flickered, as if he was struggling.
After a long time, he slowly said: "But I need money."
"Does it need to go to this extent to get money from wanted criminals?"
"Others don't understand me and can treat me as a wanted criminal, but I can't treat myself as a wanted criminal." Amamiya Haruki said calmly, "If I steal and rob and lose my moral bottom line, then what's the difference between me and those other 'evil people'?"
The figure in white clothes and white hair was silent for a moment, "I don't think you need to go this far."
"If Hoshimi Shouta can make sacrifices for our goal, so can I." Amamiya Haruki said calmly, "I'm just a gigolo, not a prostitute. I know my limits. As long as I make enough money, I will leave here, and no one will know that I have worked here.
Besides, the host club is a mixed bag of people, so it's a good place to get information. Maybe I can hear something about Yamazaki Ohashi."
"……All right."
Seeing that its sword master had made up his mind, the sword spirit of [Yubeng] did not say anything more. The reflection in the glass door slowly disappeared, leaving only Amamiya Haruki standing alone at the door.
Amamiya Haruki took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.
Ding Dong——!
The doorbell rang, and after a moment, the tightly closed door slowly opened.
Uncle Kyosuke opened the door and saw a handsome young man in a black kimono standing outside. He suddenly froze in place.
Even the black kimono could not conceal the young man's well-proportioned and slender figure. On his young face, there was a shallow knife scar on the chin. His handsomeness was mixed with a heroic and domineering air. His eyes were extremely cold, like a Japanese sword emitting a cold light.
This boy...
Uncle Kyosuke opened his mouth slightly.
"Hello, I'm here to apply for the position of gigolo." Haruki Amamiya looked at Uncle Kyosuke and said seriously.
After saying this, he moved his gaze to the side. He had just seen a figure behind Uncle Kyosuke and thought it was an employee of the store. But when he saw his face clearly, his body was shocked!
There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Lin Qiye, who was wearing a flirty red shirt and sequined jacket, also looked at Amamiya Haruki in shock and stood there in a daze.
Although Amamiya Haruki changed his appearance by disguise in order to hide his identity, he still could not hide it from Lin Qiye's mental power. He recognized him from the first sight.
After the two looked at each other, the air seemed to freeze.
"Okay, okay, okay! Come on, come on, come in first, let's talk slowly!"
When Uncle Kyosuke heard that this handsome young man was applying for the job of a gigolo, he immediately smiled like a flower. He held Amamiya Haruki's hand, as if afraid that he would change his mind, and enthusiastically took him to the second floor.
"Qianyu, go pour him a glass of water." Uncle Kyosuke said to Lin Qiye who was standing stiffly in place.
"Ah? Oh... okay." Lin Qiye came back to his senses and spoke softly.
Lin Qiye went to pour tea for Amamiya Haruki and Uncle Kyosuke with professional ethics, while the two went directly to a private room, seemingly discussing the issue of treatment. From time to time, Uncle Kyosuke's emotional speech could be heard, and most of the words were very familiar to Lin Qiye...
"You are a rare talent in the gigolo industry in decades... If you leave, it will be the most tragic loss in the past decade... You were born for the gigolo industry..."
Lin Qiye stood outside the private room holding two cups of tea and rolled his eyes silently.
So...he says this to everyone?
Bah, scumbag!
Lin Qiye pushed the door open and walked in, placing two cups of tea in front of the two people. Amamiya Haruki looked at Uncle Kyosuke who was spitting in front of him, then looked at Lin Qiye with a resentful expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
After a while, Uncle Kyosuke finalized the treatment for Amamiya Haruki, which was basically the same as Lin Qiye's, and also a daily wage.
"Come, Qianyu, let me introduce you." Uncle Kyosuke walked to Lin Qiye, put one hand on his shoulder enthusiastically, and put the other hand on Amamiya Haruki, putting their shoulders together, and said cheerfully:
"This is Amamiya Shouta, our new colleague. We are all companions from now on, so please take care of each other!"
Amamiya Shota?
Lin Qiye was surprised for a moment, but soon realized that Amamiya Haruki must have hidden his real name. After all, his current identity is a wanted criminal of the "Fierce Ghost" level...
"Amemiya, this is Asaba Nanaya, a senior who came here a day earlier than you. I never expected that in less than a day, I have already picked up two peerless talents in the gigolo world!"
Uncle Kyosuke laughed as he spoke. He looked so proud that he seemed to want to hold his head high and let out a long roar: "All the male chauvinists in the world of gigolos are under my command!"
Uncle Kyosuke smiled happily in front of the two of them for a long time before he pushed the door open and went out to continue calculating yesterday's store revenue. Only Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki were left in the private room, looking at each other.
Lin Qiye looked him up and down and sighed.
"You said before that we would meet in two weeks, and you had things to do in the meantime... So you're here to be a gigolo?"
