「Well...leave it to us」
Kyouko-san said...then drank her beer
Then, she looked at Sensei.
「I'll take charge of these children's expenses. I'll do this personally after all. Mina and Margo doesn't need to concern themselves after this」
Sensei...
「I can't let that. At the point Shirasaka Sousuke tried to purchase these children as slaves...this is already related to『Kuromori』」
「Are you sure...this is just a waste of time you know?」
Kyouko-san smiles.
「...Therefore, 『Kuromori』won't be using their funds Everything will be charged to Shirasaka Sousuke」
「Do you think that fucker would pay?」
「...We'll make sure he will」
Sensei answered with a serious look.
「It's Shirasaka's fault for contacting the underground society in Los Angeles」
...I
I wondered if this is okay.
We...can't return anything to these people.
If we're told not to sell our bodies...
We don't have any more worth.
Kei-chan's having a gloomy face.
「Then, that's decided...Mina」
「Yes...I'll leave it to Kyouko-san」
「...Okay」
Kyouko-san took her phone.
Then...she made a call.
「...It's been a while, it's me, Kyouko. ...Yeah, you know why I called you...that's right. I'd like some passports. Two pieces...Canada's better than US, right?...How much?...That's much higher than before. You raised the price?...I'll pay twice the amount, could you hurry it up? Tomorrow morning...okay, that amount will do. I'll pay you in cash. You can just input the photos and data when you take it? Yeah, I'd like the photos to be taken when I go to your office tomorrow...the data will be done here. It's okay if you prepare the passport's template tonight. Then, tomorrow at 10 o'clock...please」
Kyouko-san ended the call.
「...We can take photos here. Shouldn't you send the mail sooner?」
Sensei asked, Kyouko-san...
「Then, these two's faces would be leaked outside the『passport shop』... There's a lot of people who want counterfeit passport in Los Angeles but...the one I contacted is competing on the top『counterfeit passport shops』 He's skilled but his mouth is loose」
Kyouko-san openes another beer.
「...It can't be helped, 『counterfeit passport』is a work that can't be done unless you're in close contact with the local people. You need to have the same address and operate the same phone number. When someone needs a passport and it happens to be 『Huh? I can't contact him, where did he go?』you'll lose honor in business...!」
「Then...when we take the passport tomorrow...」
「Cesario Viola will know that these children were given passports within one hour. The promise of paying twice wasn't a special express charge. At least, we can get a promise that it won't be leaked outside as long as we're in his office」
Kyouko-san smiled at Sensei.
「Mina, remember that the『other party understands our standpoint』clearly as always. They understand it so they negotiate. Then, you pay at a higher rate than the market price. Don't do something stupid. The respect and the evaluation of the other party is told by the amount of money. If you do...the people in the underground society will respect you. Trust and reliance can be earned by doing such things」
「...Got it, Kyouko-san」
Kyouko-san sips on the beer then made a call.
「Hello, hello, hello!...That's right, it's Kyouko! Yay~! You fine?...No way! Eeh?!...John's fine too?... Oh is John pleased by my birthday present? Those are very popular even on Japanese children!...By the way. ...Yes, yes, that's right. I'd like to buy two family registry. Twins, oriental. Black hair. Eyes are brown. Ages...you can put 14 years old. ...No. Male and female. It's a mixed twins. Both of them can speak English normally...it's fine to make them non-Japanese. How much?...No way, that's cheap. You don't need to give me discounts just because we're friends. You can charge me properly...really, it's fine. I get it...John wants a new bicycle?...Okay, I'll send it as a present...it's okay. I like active boys. It's a present from Kyouko-obaachan. Then...have you prepared a dress to wear on Patricia's graduation ceremony?...Okay, pick a dress for Patricia as you like...you can just send the bill to me. What now?...It's fine, we're friends aren't we? Ah, but let's make it a tasteful dress. Decide it after consulting Patricia about it okay?...Got it. I'll be the one to send a mail to Patricia. 『Be sure to consult with your mother. If the dress isn't that good, don't buy it!』 ...It's okay even if it's branded. ...I see, it should balance the dress worn by her classmates...yup, I'll leave it to you. It's okay...the graduation ceremony is Patricia's proud moment. She must wear a good dress...it's a lifetime memory. I don't mind it at all. Yes, yes...the family register. Un, please. If possible, I'd like at least the data tonight, but...sorry, please...then, later, bye~!」
