Inside the Lavender Bar, the lighting is predominantly warm-toned.
Lavender is a quiet bar, quite unique on the entire bar street. You can't dance to old-fashioned disco inside Lavender, and there are no so-called hot dancers.
Soft music played on a loop inside the bar, at a relatively low volume, simply to add some atmosphere. Combined with the elegant interior design, it could satisfy the requirements of some atmosphere enthusiasts. When Guangyou came today, he found that all the seats in the bar were already full, which shows how popular it was.
Guangyou slowly surveyed his first property in this world, looking quite satisfied. Couples wore sweet smiles, and heartfelt laughter could be heard from time to time.
The white-collar workers sat in the booths, quietly enjoying the pleasant afternoon. Judging from their expressions, it was easy to see that they were really enjoying themselves. Occasionally, they would hum an unknown tune along with the light music in the bar.
Inside the bar, you could also see some girls in school uniforms who had escaped to the bar during their lunch break. They still looked quite young, and their faces were full of satisfaction with life. They also felt a different kind of excitement about going to a bar for the first time. From a young age, their parents would tell them how chaotic and dangerous bars were, and that girls should never go there. At this age, they were in a stage where they were very curious about society. They weren't stupid, so they chose Lavender, a bar that looked relatively cozy.
These girls weren't particularly beautiful; their features were just average, and one or two were even below average. But the innocence they exuded, the purity they had before entering society, added a lot to their charm. Guangyou didn't know how many of them would be able to maintain this mindset after entering society, or how many would reek of money.
After the incident at the Heavenly Family headquarters a few days ago, Kōyū felt disgusted by people who reeked of money. Making money is right, but one should not betray one's conscience for money. A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. If one truly betrays one's conscience for money, what difference is there between him and an animal?
"I hope they can stay like this forever." Guangyou sighed as he looked at the young girls laughing and playing. His eyes were full of vicissitudes, and it always felt strange to see such vicissitudes in children.
"Oh my, Kwangyu, you're here?"
Upon hearing the pleasant female voice, Kwangyu immediately smiled again, as if the previous look of weariness was just an illusion: "Sungmi unnie!"
"I'll pour you some juice, sister!" Asai Narumi said excitedly, clearly pleased by Kōyū's sudden arrival.
She quickly went to the bar, poured Guangyou a glass of orange juice, and handed it to him.
Guangyou took a big sip through the straw. He had to admit that drinking an iced beverage in this kind of weather was definitely a treat.
"Give me the money!"
The sleazy voice was unusually clear in the quiet bar. Guangyou turned his head to look, wanting to see which fool dared to cause trouble in his bar. When he opened the bar, Guangyou had already made arrangements with the local thugs. He was running a quiet bar, which had much lower profits than a noisy bar. Noisy bars had all sorts of illegal activities, and their profits were many times higher than those of quiet bars.
He doesn't cause trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either. Even though he's in the body of a child now, he can still take on one or two people.
A man in a suit shouted at a girl in a school uniform: "Your boyfriend came into our bar and bought some trinkets. He said he has no money and wants to use you to pay off his debt. We're very kind. You either pay us or you come with us."
Although the man was wearing a suit, he looked like a complete idiot. While others wore sharp suits, he was hunched over with a wicked smile on his face, which was quite rare. It is said that men change when they put on a suit. Although some people look like salesmen when they wear suits, they still look pretty good. If Guangyou could move his suit, there would probably be another "suit murder" incident.
Everyone in the bar looked curiously in the direction of the man. Asai Narumi, as the owner, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what happened? Don't be so loud, speak properly."
"Her boyfriend bought some interesting things in our bar, and he accidentally used too much of them. Tsk tsk, I wouldn't normally use those things myself." The man's face was full of disdain. He then held out his hand and asked, "Choose one, what do you choose? Money or the person?"
The girl has a pretty good network of friends, and they all jumped out to argue with the man, since it was her boyfriend who owed the money, so why should the girl have to pay it back?
Guangyou didn't move. Although it could be easily handled, it was still too troublesome. He directly made a call to one of the local bullies. Not long after he finished the call, the man's phone rang.
"Yes... okay... no problem..."
After responding a few times, the man hung up the phone, apologized to the woman, and left.
Some of the spectators in the bar were a little disappointed. They had heard that this Lavender Bar had a powerful backer, so they thought that this powerful backer would come out, beat the man up, throw him out, and then provoke the man's backer to come over and fight each other. How exciting that would be! But in the end, the man just answered a phone call and resolved the issue.
Asai Narumi returned to the bar with a smile: "Kuyou, you finally made your move."
"I just can't stand having flies in a bar," Guangyou said casually.
As Guangyou sipped his juice, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how much profit do we have now?"
When money was mentioned, Asai Narumi couldn't help but smile: "We're the only quiet bar on this street. Although we don't have any of those shady things, we've made quite a bit of money lately thanks to our quiet bar vibe!"
As she spoke, Asai Narumi took out an account book and handed it to Kouyu. Kouyu opened the account book and flipped through it briefly, his eyes gradually shining: "It's true! Although it's not as much as that order, it's still very profitable! And we haven't been open for very long."
After putting down the ledger, Guangyou thought for a while and said, "I want to buy a house."
This was a decision made after careful consideration by Kōyū. Japanese housing prices plummeted in the 1990s and, as far as he could remember, did not recover until the early 21st century. Currently, prices are stagnant and relatively low, so Kōyū wanted to buy some real estate. Firstly, it would be a good way to prepare for his future. After all, by the time Kōyū grows up, housing prices will have gone up, so it's always a good thing to buy property sooner or later. Not only are the prices cheap, but the properties are also large.
Secondly, Guangyou also needs to set up a secret room-like space for training or to store equipment.
After hearing Kouyu's reasons, Asai Narumi nodded. However, the bar's profits were not very high at the moment. After deducting the bar's daily operations and reserve funds, there was not much left, which was still a bit short of Kouyu's goal of buying a villa.
The sun had already set, and after telling Asai Narumi about the arrangements, Kōsuke left.

"Mr. Mori! You have to help me! My girlfriend has disappeared!"
