In the last round of poker, rookie gambler Mr. Ryuhei Nagatomo spit out all the chips he earned in the afternoon.
It wasn't even enough to compensate, so I had to temporarily borrow money from underground casinos.
Because he could no longer get any money, he was kicked off the table by other gamblers.
However, Mr. Nagatomo Ryuhei's bad luck today has just begun...
The offices of an underground casino.
A young man with a very radical temperament, a mustache and a baseball cap was sitting on the sofa and talking on the phone.
The young man’s name is Junji Takahashi.
This underground casino belongs to his brother Takahashi Junichi, but Junji is usually responsible for taking care of and managing it.
beep.
The phone hangs up.
Takahashi Junji stood up from the sofa angrily.
When he just answered the phone, he suppressed his anger and did not dare to explode. Now he hung up the phone and began to vent his anger.
"Damn! Bitch! Bastard!"
Takahashi jumped on his feet and cursed with his tongue.
The phone call just now was from a very senior senior in the Jida.
The specific content was informed politely and lightly——
"Takahashi, your girlfriend is good, but now she has volunteered to be my lover. From today on, you two will officially break up."
What a shame!
Junji Takahashi was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, but he had the character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
The Ji Dao boss who called him, even his brother, must be respectful to him.
What can Takahashi Junji do against others?
There is no way.
"brute!"
Takahashi cursed in a low voice for a while in a state of confusion, until his body felt hot and his head felt hot, so he took off his green baseball cap and threw it to the ground.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
At this time, a certain unlucky boy knocked on the door.
Junji Takahashi walked to the door in two steps and pulled the doorknob open: "What are you doing!"
"Uh...Brother Chun, an uncle just gave us an IOU. I'll bring it over to show you."
This unnamed underground casino can be said to be a small gambling house.
Usually, if a gambler borrows money from the casino, the IOU must be given to Junji Takahashi for the purpose.
"The uncle borrowed 400,000 yen from us today as capital, but he just lost all his money playing mahjong with others, so he borrowed an additional 180,000 yen to cover the loss." The younger brother said in a sullen voice.
"Besides today, does he owe us any money?"
"Yes. I borrowed it two weeks ago. With the principal and interest plus today's payment, I owe us 1.03 million. Uncle said he would collect the money and give it to us when he gets home."
"Go home and collect money? What a waste! Bring him to me!" Junji Takahashi still had the anger of wanting to eat people on his face.
1.03 million yen is not a lot, and for a gambler, it is not a huge debt at all.
Normally, when Takahashi Junji faced such a situation, he would let him go as long as the other party left his exact contact information and home address.
After rolling out some interest, if the other party still fails to pay back later, we will take measures.
But Junji Takahashi was in a bad mood today.
Nagatomo Ryuhei was unlucky.
…
Underground casino.
Next to a pinball machine in the corner, Kamiyagawa and Xiaopingtou were sitting here.
Naturally, they came here to exorcise Nagatomo Ryuhei.
After the two met in the morning, Nagatomo Masao was unable to contact his father as usual.
Helpless, Xiaopingtou could only start looking around like a headless fly with Kamiyagawa.
They went to several pachinkos that Nagatomo Ryuhei had been frequenting recently, then to the racecourse, and finally came to this underground casino.
As this casino is an illegal place, there must be some personnel guarding the perimeter of the first floor.
Kamiyagawa and Nagatomo Masao are both young and new faces. When he got close to here, he was naturally expelled by several Liuliliu Qi Dao.
This is not a big problem.
At that time Kamiyakawa took out [Thousand Silver Needles] and dismissed all those people in a few words.
He casually claimed that he and Xiao Pingtou were regular customers here, and they often spent a lot of money.
Several Ji Dao looked dazed for a moment, and then they were convinced of this and enthusiastically sent them to the underground casino.
Entering the casino, Kamiya and Masao finally found Nagatomo Ryuhei.
They didn't take any immediate action. Instead, they sat down by the pinball machine in the corner and watched for a while.
Ever since Kamiyagawa learned [Spirit Taming Technique] and contracted Prajna as the first shikigami, his spiritual vision in the real world has improved a lot.
Therefore, he is the only person in the entire casino who can see the existence of Zashiki Warashi.
However, when the spirit-killing duo arrived here, Nagatomo Ryuhei's happy mahjong time was coming to an end.
He is already starting the one-shot, three-shot endgame.
So, not long after, Kamiyagawa saw the Zashiki boy who looked like a six or seven-year-old girl. The aura on his body changed from auspicious warm red to ominous black.
I also saw Zashiki taking the initiative to pull Nagatomo Ryuhei's clothes as a reminder after noticing the change in his own aura.
…
"Hey, uncle, our second brother Chun wants to see you."
Several gangsters came over from the casino office and without any explanation picked up Nagatomo Ryuhei, who was still waiting after borrowing the money, and dragged him away.
The gamblers in the casino were indifferent to this and were still immersed in their respective card games.
The only ones who cared about this were probably Kamiya and Xiao Pingtou in the corner.
"Kamiya-kun, what should we do?" Nagatomo Masao asked in a low voice.
Kamiya glanced in the direction where the group left, only to see Zashiki Warashi, who was glowing with black energy, jumping up and down and following Nagatomo Ryuhei.
"What else can we do? Let's go there."
…
Casino office.
Nagatomo Ryuhei was dragged in front of Takahashi and hurriedly shouted: "Takahashi, Mr. Takahashi! I will pay you back the money I owe you soon!"
"Really? Uncle, but you haven't even paid back the debt you owed two weeks ago."
Takahashi lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, then leaned closer and blew the smoke into Nagatomo Ryuhei's face.
"But the due date for the debt has not yet come..."
"That's ridiculous!" Takahashi slapped the table, "I have the final say whether we arrive or not! Don't underestimate us Yakuza, uncle!"
"Then, when I get back, I will collect the money immediately." Nagatomo Ryuhei began to tremble, and the high-spirited look at the gambling table before was completely gone.
"Seriously, can uncle really pay back the money?" Takahashi flicked the ashes from his cigarette, "How about you leave something with me to offset it first."
"But there's nothing in me that can be worth it to you."
Yes, not at all.
Except for the bell that brings good luck.
But how can you give that thing to others?
"Why not?" Takahashi turned to signal to his subordinate, who took out a switchblade from his pocket, "Leave half of your little finger on."
"Wait a minute! This... this..."
"What the hell!" Junji Takahashi, who had an angry face and no place to spread evil fire, picked up the switchblade, "Uncle, we are the Yakuza. Is it reasonable for the Yakuza to cut off a person's little finger?"
"ah!"
Zashiki Warashi, who was standing aside but no one noticed, saw the shining knife and spoke in fright.
She felt that she needed to do something at this time.
But the villain in front of him looked too fierce, and little Zashiki didn't dare to get close...
