===9 Hand-knife that makes miracles with great strength ===(None Edited)

"Takenyou-san? Takeyou-san?"

Once Ari Sazawa drove her car to the first designated location of the entertainment hall for Take Yousei, she nudged Take Yousei in the passenger seat.

However, it seemed that Takenoyo-san was sleeping heavily and did not wake up at first.

Ari Sazawa blinked and after a moment's hesitation she decided not to disturb the current Take Yousan.

It was true that he hadn't slept for days.

Although she didn't know why Takehiro-san was so energetic, it seemed that people had their limits.

Then let him sleep like that and see me go out and give you a good show of my business skills.

I haven't done much serious work for you these days, but you still manage to pay me on time, which makes me a bit embarrassed.

With that in mind, Ari Hayasawa stepped out of the driver's seat and then puffed and panted as she lifted a TV and game console.

The TV and console weighed just fine, and even though she was a girl, she could barely lift them.

Then, for the first time, she stepped into an entertainment hall in the Tokyo metropolis.

In the past, she had been a relatively conservative girl.

Whether it was her life in primary schools, junior high school or at university, she was one of those standard good girls who took her studies seriously and well.

At the same time she recognised that studying could change her destiny and allow her to lead a leisurely and good life.

However, as she grew into adulthood, she gradually realised that as a girl, she was not really destined to have a life of freedom and beauty.

Her future fate seemed to be determined by the only option of being a housewife.

So she decided to stand on her own two feet, and from the time she started university, she did not want a penny from her family and tried to earn it herself by working part-time.

Little by little, and with the help of a student loan she applied for, she at least managed to complete her studies.

But when she graduated, her skills made it difficult for her to find a job she wanted.

It was not until she met Bamboo Yuxing.

After that, she, a relatively conservative girl, became a little more open-minded for the first time.

However, this was the first time she had entered an entertainment hall.

As soon as she entered the entertainment hall, she was greeted by the deafening sound of music.

Against the wall, there is a whole row of soundproofed private karaoke rooms, which look like separate telephone booths.

Then further back, there are rows of pachinko parlours.

It was a type of gambling machine that was unique to Japan, and one of the few 'legal' things that walked the line of rubbish.

Pachinko is the most popular machine here, and in front of almost every one of them sits a hunched over, numb-eyed Heisei junkie or disillusioned man.

The economic bubble has caused them to completely lose their desire to live and end up sinking here.

Seriously, Ari Hayasawa didn't particularly like this atmosphere.

Then, in the middle of the hall, there were a few rows of crane machines and dancing machines that were quite prominent.

When I was in university and junior high school, the girls around me would often talk about how many points they had scored on the dancing machines and how precious dolls they had caught on the crane machines.

Then there were the Twister machines, which were more popular with some children.

This seems to be a recent trend and has become the most popular machine for children to hang out in the entertainment hall.

Since the whole entertainment hall receives both adults and children, it is at least clearly separated to avoid disturbing the children and to ensure that they do not run into the pachinko area and degenerate into it.

At least quite a few shopkeepers in this era have some basic boundaries of being human and are not so crazy as to destroy a child's mind for the sake of money.

This entertainment hall was also one of the liveliest in the area, and very crowded.

The way Ari Sazawa was holding a game console and a TV attracted a lot of customers who followed her into the entertainment hall.

They all looked at Ari Hayasawa with curiosity, wondering what this young girl was doing here with these things.

"Hello miss, may I ask what you want?"

The image of Ari Hayasawa entering was really conspicuous.

So the attendant who usually received and guided different customers into different areas at the entrance came up at the first opportunity and took the initiative to ask Ari Hayasawa what she was up to.

Ari Hayasawa carefully placed the TV and the game console on the floor and then exhaled with a sigh of relief.

Then she bowed slightly and said, "Hello, I was wondering if I could meet the manager of your shop? I have a nice deal I'd like to talk to your shop manager about."

"Business?"

The waiter looked down at the oddly shaped red and white machine, and the television, with suspicion in his mind.

He didn't understand what it was for, and why business would come in with a game machine and a television set in his arms.

But since it was business, he, the waiter, had to be discreet.

If the shop manager lost a deal because of him, he could be sacked straight away.

No one working here could have lifetime employment, and it would only take a minute for the boss to fire them.

"Yes, please wait here for a moment, I will be right back."

Ari Sazawa nodded her head, and the waiter immediately walked deeper into the entertainment hall.

The entire entertainment hall covered a very large area, with almost a thousand square metres on the ground floor alone.

The entire entertainment hall occupied three floors.

The first and first floors are filled with various entertainment facilities, while the third floor is a karaoke room for parties.

The manager's office is located on the first floor.

Ari Sazawa took advantage of the waiter's absence to take a good look at the place.

In front of the Twister machine, there were already some young children watching intently the shipments from the Twister machine.

Of course, there were a few other otaku in the group who were also immersed in the machine, hoping to get good peripherals.

On the dance machine there were some hot girls dressed in colourful clothes jumping around, showing off their youth in this way.

The sound was very loud and Ari Hayasawa was still a little uncomfortable with the environment.

You can still hear the off-key vocals of the private karaoke.

I don't know why anyone would like such a noisy place.

Ari Hayasawa felt that this was really not a place for video games.

"Hello, I'm the shop manager here, may I ask if it was you, miss, who said you wanted to talk to me about a business deal?"

Just as Ari Hayasawa was still observing her surroundings, a voice suddenly startled Ari Hayasawa.

"Whoa!"

With a retreating step and a violent fling of her hands, a snap was heard as Ari Hayasawa slashed hard at the owner of the voice directly behind her with a mighty out miracle hand slash.

It was a shiny bald head, and after being struck hard by a hand slash, that bald head actually trembled slightly, and his whole body started to lean to the side.

"Shopkeeper!" The waiter exclaimed.

And Ari Hayasawa seemed to realise what was going on and hastily withdrew her hand, bowing in a slightly panicked succession, "I'm very sorry, very sorry, I didn't mean to do that!"

"No, it's me who should be sorry, I shouldn't have come behind you before talking to you."

The bald man covered his head and shook his body so he could stand as straight as possible, then waved his hand to show he had no problem.
