The Call of Taira Danjo
“Heee… stop, I really can’t eat any more♥”
“Don’t fuck me…. Fuck me….”
Sawayanagi Azuma and Lianna Holden were sprawled across the bed. Even so, Azuma’s overnight “training” had been remarkably successful.
Lianna was an excellent student. Perhaps because she was a PMC soldier, her body was surprisingly flexible and responsive for an operator. She followed Azuma’s guidance well and had excellent sensitivity, allowing her to thoroughly enjoy the act itself.
Still, a virgin was a virgin. She tapped out quickly, leaving me—still brimming with energy—with no choice but to torment Sawayanagi Azuma instead. In the end, Lianna had woken up and the three of us had overlapped, taking turns until both women were now happily combat-incapacitated.
“Haaahm~!”
I yawned, stretched lazily, then threw myself between the two naked women and lay down. Once I woke up properly, I needed to contact Han Yuhyeon and talk about what came next.
After parting ways with the Seryu-tai members and trainees, I returned to the talent development center house and made a video call to Han Yuhyeon on the computer. On the screen, she appeared to be at the company—monitors were visible behind her, and she was wearing a white blouse with a black skirt.
Since we had only been talking on the phone or through messages until now, seeing my face seemed to delight her. Her expression was bright. Mm, she’s still so beautiful…. I was just using the built-in webcam on the computer, but it looked like Yuhyeon had set up a high-quality camera to look even prettier for me.
“Yeah, have you been well?”
The moment we greeted each other, Han Yuhyeon launched into a storm of scolding. Of course, with a disaster that killed twenty-six thousand people, it was only natural she’d be worried… but I hadn’t been injured at all. And even if I had been, I would have recovered anyway. There was no need for her to worry.
“Come on, I came right back the next day. Not a single scratch on me.”
Wait, how did she know that? Was Yuhyeon’s eye for detail that sharp? On the monitor, she puffed her cheeks out and glared at me.
“Uh, how did you know?”
At this point, it was honestly a little scary. To recognize me just from my body shape… Just how well did she know me?
“Well, as you can see, I’m not hurt anywhere. I did take a few hits, though.”
Luckily, it seemed Han Yuhyeon was willing to overlook it this time. If I had actually been injured, I would have been in for a serious lecture, but since I was fine, she was letting it go.
“Yeah, sounds good. I miss you. Come quickly.”
“How have things been lately?”
When I asked about her current situation, Han Yuhyeon’s expression darkened. Did something bad happen?
Family matters would mean Shingang Group business. In game terms, that meant a fairly important event was unfolding within the group…. What could it be?
“What’s going on? You don’t look happy…”
“Ah! I saw the article. It said she joined a drama funded by an American production company.”
Of course I had watched the drama Haruyoon appeared in, but because it contained quite explicit exposure scenes, I pretended I had only seen the article. I didn’t want to make things awkward with Yuhyeon by admitting I had watched it.
Ah, that made sense. I had never heard of a chaebol daughter-in-law filming exposure scenes. From what I could tell, Haruyoon’s affection for Yuhyeon’s father, Han Seongjae, had already run dry. A divorce probably wouldn’t cause too many problems.
Haruyoon had a fairly solid position, but if the Shingang Group interfered, it would be difficult for her to continue working comfortably. If Yuhyeon took over the Shingang Group, it would be smooth sailing, but for now she would probably have to focus on dramas and films funded by foreign investors.
Once the video call with Yuhyeon ended, I should contact Haruyoon and ask if there was anything I could do to help.
“It’s between your parents, but the fact that they’re your mom and dad won’t change. Don’t think about it too hard.”
It seemed Han Yuhyeon had already expected this, so she wasn’t too shocked. She had known her parents weren’t on good terms, but actually hearing they were getting divorced still left her a little depressed.
“What about the BS Group situation?”
I changed the subject and asked about the BS Group. After we killed Park Sangbeom—the senior at school who had been obsessed with Yuhyeon—and framed his father, Park Ilsu, for the crimes committed by his older brother Park Ilman, a major internal conflict had erupted within the BS Group. That was why I suddenly thought of it and asked.
The situation had escalated to the point of terrorism within Seoul, so the BS Group chairman had probably stepped in to restrain them. That meant they would now target each other with even more insidious and lethal indirect methods.
“I see. What about Base Technology? Are you securing control properly?”
Since Base Technology was a secret research lab under the BS Group, controlling it was essentially the same as holding the group’s weakness in your hand.
“Then there’s nothing to worry about. Have you finished registering all the patents from the data I gave you?”
I had previously taken various materials from the BS Group lab in Pyongyang, given some of them to Yuhyeon, and told her to register patents for several technologies first. At my question, she nodded.
We had combined the first letters of Ryuta and Yuhyeon’s names to create the company TG-Tech Industry. The mysterious Eve would also receive shares and become a partner. Yuhyeon seemed to really like the name we had made from our two names—she smiled brightly every time TG-Tech Industry came up.
For reference, the shares were split with me at 45%, Yuhyeon at 45%, and Eve at 10%. Eve had invested quite a large sum and provided AI-related technology, so I had tried to give her more shares, but she had refused, saying 10% was enough.
Because of this TG-Tech Industry project, Yuhyeon, Eve, I, and a representative from Energy-Link Industrial Company had arranged to meet in Tokyo. We could discuss the business details more thoroughly then.
“What if we modeled the new BS Group tech armor design I brought back after the Black Knight?”
Among the data I had stolen from the Pyongyang BS Group lab was information on their new tech armor. I suggested combining that technology with the currently trending Black Knight’s appearance.
She had a point. I couldn’t exactly wear the armor myself and go around saying, “This is my company, so please buy a lot!”
It was true. Eve had told me that reservations for our secretly advertised steel pets had skyrocketed, likely due to widespread anxiety.
“The steel pets are an illegal business, so Eve said she would handle production. Is it going well?”
Did they have a factory in Japan? Not in the Third World? It was a fairly risky move, but it might actually be better. Even if they got caught, the Taira family’s power could suppress it. Of course, if that happened, I would have to ask Grandfather Taira Danjo for help.
Just thinking about Taira Danjo made me suddenly anxious. He had said that while helping with the PMC acquisition, he would give me two missions, but there had been no word since. It made me even more nervous. Just what kind of tasks was he planning to assign…?
Ding!
It seemed the old man wasn’t one to be outdone. The moment I thought of him, a text arrived. Of course, it wasn’t sent directly by Taira Danjo, but by his chief secretary, Fumimoto Takayuki.
The Chairman wishes to see you at the main residence this evening.
I read the message and looked at Han Yuhyeon with an apologetic expression.
“I think we need to end the call now. Grandfather suddenly wants to see me.”
At my words, Yuhyeon—who also had a terrifying grandfather—nodded with understanding eyes.
“I’ll call you again later.”
We waved at each other and ended the video call. There were still several topics I wanted to discuss with Yuhyeon, and I had planned to contact Haruyoon as well, but those would have to wait. If I wanted to arrive on time for dinner, I needed to start preparing now.
