OBS Chapter 16 Famous Complaining Woman
Chapter 16 Famous Complaining Woman
Watanabe Yukino, age 29, divorced.
This was Nakajima Hiroshi's first customer.
As a well-known woman who is obsessed with "love," Yukino is someone that makes many male escorts tremble with fear.
This woman and her husband started a business together, working hard for six years and dedicating the best years of their lives to each other.
Then, after her husband became successful in his career, she was kicked to the curb.
Her ex-husband didn't even want the children, leaving her with a mountain of loans he had taken out while running his business, before marrying a recent graduate.
The student was heavily pregnant when she attended the wedding.
In other words, the two had already started an affair before the divorce.
Therefore, Yukino harbors an unusual hostility towards men, and even when she comes to a host club, she acts like she's looking for trouble, enjoying the fact that the other person has no choice but to put up with her difficult behavior.
As for consumption, that's even less likely.
She had neither the willingness to pay nor the ability to squander money.
After all, this woman has children to raise and loans to pay off.
"They've sent another new person."
Upon seeing Nakajima Hiroshi, Yukino immediately adopted her familiar, nitpicking tone: "Honestly, you're using me as practice because you think I don't spend much money."
When Nakajima Hiroshi arrived, the woman was already half-drunk.
But in reality, she only ordered the minimum charge of a cup of oolong tea and peanuts.
Yukino was carrying a plastic bag containing cheap shochu she had bought from a convenience store, completely ignoring the "No Outside Drinks Allowed" sign in the store.
"Yes, I'm Nakajima Hiroshi, the new guy here today."
The man made no attempt to hide this: "You are the first guest I have ever served. Thank you for coming."
"There's no need for pleasantries. You all say the same thing, I'm tired of hearing it."
Yukino patted the chair next to her.
"Sit down."
She unscrewed the bottle of liquor she had brought and mixed it into her oolong tea.
Then, she pursed her lips and added, "However, I don't have the money to buy your drinks."
"Don't try to sell me anything, just spend some quality time talking to me."
"Don't worry, the boss won't blame you. After all, he's a customer like me."
Nakajima Hiro added two ice cubes to her at just the right moment, making a soft tinkling sound.
"it is good."
He put on a polite smile, listening attentively while considering how to respond.
The story is very cliché.
Women like Yukino, who are of average appearance, are indeed easily abandoned once their husbands become successful.
This is a topic that should be avoided as much as possible. Talking to her about comforting or reassuring her will only make her feel annoyed.
The key question is what she's looking for here.
Yukino was abusing her power as a guest without any restraint, and showed no regard for sentimentality whatsoever.
Although it may seem like giving up on oneself...
But after all, it's a host club, so even the minimum charge is still a considerable expense.
She couldn't possibly be without desires.
"Are all men like this?"
Yukino gulped down a mouthful of tea mixed with alcohol, glancing drunkenly at Nakajima Hiroshi.
This guy is actually quite handsome. Compared to other heavily made-up male escorts, he's good-looking even with his natural features.
Ah, that's great! I also want to become a rich woman with a bunch of handsome men circling around me.
It doesn't matter if it's all pretense or greed for money.
As long as you have money, as long as you can squander it lavishly, none of this is a problem.
Hehehe...
"You're the same, aren't you!"
She was drunk and slapped Nakajima on the shoulder: "You keep saying sweet words, but you've probably been tired of me for a long time."
Even if you patiently serve me, you'll only get a meager reward...
It's unclear whether the woman was genuinely drunk and confused, or if she did it on purpose.
"How much, how much again? How much money will you get if you force yourself to serve me like this?"
As she spoke, Yukino, still reeking of alcohol, put her arm around Nakajima Hiroshi and laughed unrestrainedly.
Nakajima Hiroshi reluctantly took over the conversation.
"Thirty yen."
This is easy to calculate.
Watanabe Yukino's expenses were approximately 16,000 yen.
Of that, 13,000 was for seating fees, with no commission paid at all.
Oolong tea with peanuts costs about 3,000 yen.
The commission for drinks and food is based on a tiered system of performance. As a newcomer, Nakajima Hiroshi can only get the lowest 1% commission, which is the 30 yen mentioned earlier.
In other words, after drinking with guests seventeen times, you can enjoy a delicious bowl of beef rice bowl.
Awesome!
However, Yukino didn't expect him to answer so directly.
After all, other new recruits usually put on a forced smile and say things like "It's my pleasure to serve you," and after coaxing her for a while, they try to sell again.
Often, after several unsuccessful sales attempts, they will become perfunctory.
Her enjoyment ended there; staying any longer wouldn't get her proper service, so she decided to come back in a few days when she had some spare money and find someone else to mess with.
Yukino seems to enjoy seeing men act so hypocritically.
Anyway, this boss really knows how to bring in new people to play with...
Yes, I'm using myself as a practice subject.
Hehehe, I'm just a tool for men to practice on!
She spoke with a hint of frustration as she thought about giving up on herself.
"That's very unprofessional of you."
As they were talking, Yukino kicked off her shoes, put her legs on Nakajima Hiro's lap, and used her toes to hold his buttons.
"Shouldn't you be preparing some nice words and throwing them at me like they're free, trying to figure out how to get more money out of my pocket?"
"Right, you men, you're such awful animals!"
Hiroshi Nakajima prepared the shochu for her again, following the same proportions as Yukino had just prepared.
This newcomer is quite detail-oriented; he remembered his preferred proportions after just one try.
Watanabe Yukino's dissatisfaction subsided a little.
It really was only a little bit, and she was still very disappointed.
Don't be so foolish as to do something like that over a little bit of money!
That awful newbie! That newbie who doesn't know the rules!
I'm here to eat such expensive peanuts, I should at least see something!
"Indeed, some men are like that."
"It's perfectly reasonable that Ms. Yukino's experiences have led you to such views, and even to aversion towards men."
Two ice cubes fell into the glass.
Yukino paused for a moment.
Explanations, comforting words, frivolous flattery... none of the expected reactions appeared.
She could only raise her voice to emphasize, "It's not disgust, it's seeing through it all!"
"Yes, your wording is more precise."
Following Yukino's lead, Nakajima Hiroshi took over the conversation.
look!
As expected, they still need to start trying to please me!
Hahaha! That's more like it, that's more like it!
Pshaw, men!
You'd better put on a good show for your pitiful commission!
However, Nakajima Hiroshi changed the subject.
"However, Ms. Yukino, I always believe that seeing things clearly like you does is a powerful act."
"Many people, after giving their trust, don't even have the courage to see through it. They can only continue to deceive themselves, pretending that they have never been betrayed in order to escape."
"Compared to them, I think you have a better chance of starting a new life and meeting someone who truly deserves your dedication."
Hiroshi Nakajima did not emphasize Yukino's pain points too much.
He simply fabricated even worse people for the woman, making them compete with her in being the worst.
As mentioned earlier, all I could do was try to help the guests escape.
It was shameful, but very effective.
Yukino opened her mouth, then suddenly realized that all the sharp, cynical, and sarcastic remarks she had prepared along the way were completely out of place.
The man did not deny her pain; he even acknowledged its legitimacy, but...
Could that "completely new life" really exist?
"To be honest, this is my first day working here, and it's the first time I've seen the dishes here."
Nakajima Hiroshi timely changed the subject.
Such attempts at comforting and reassuring should not be prolonged, otherwise they may cause the other party to feel resentful.
Because no matter how much you try to comfort someone, suffering is still a terrible thing.
All he had to do was calmly accept these negative emotions and, before the other person had thought things through, subtly shift the conversation to a lighter topic.
This can even create a sense of lingering desire.
If you make her feel that what you said makes some sense, and that she can even think about it, you'll most likely leave a good impression.
Just kidding, I'm not a savior. I don't have any ability to help you start a new life. I'm already doing pretty good by being able to persuade you to pay more attention to the good things in life.
Upon hearing Nakajima Hiro's words, Yukino immediately interrupted her thoughts and became alert once again.
Sure enough, they're trying to sell me something.
Men in this kind of place can't change their nature; they can't stop talking about performance.
However, the expected recommendation did not materialize.
"I've heard it said before that eating peanuts and tea together can easily lead to a phenomenon called tea intoxication."
"People who are under a lot of stress may experience palpitations, chest tightness, or discomfort in this area."
As he spoke, he slipped his hand through her clothes and placed it on Yukino's lower abdomen.
Spacious and warm.
Yukino let him do as he pleased.
This wasn't considered impolite in a host club, since the woman had already draped her leg over him shortly after he entered.
"I noticed that this is how you're dressed today."
Yukino pricked up her ears.
In fact, she always makes this combination, since it's the cheapest option.
I did feel chest tightness and palpitations when I went back.
Moreover, it can easily cause stomach upset...
Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with "tea intoxication"; that ridiculous term was completely made up by Nakajima Hiroshi.
The peanuts here are of very high quality, plump and full, and their fat content must be extremely high.
Add ice, and the beer and strong tea are mixed together...
Let alone this woman who is almost thirty, even young people might not be able to withstand it.
But Yukino doesn't understand that often, it's enough to fool laymen.
While gently massaging, Nakajima Hiro continued with the meaningless conversation.
"If you experience a similar situation, consider not going to sleep immediately, but sitting quietly for a while instead."
This isn't some profound suggestion.
Ultimately, the goal was to prevent her from lying down immediately, so that she could digest her food before bed and avoid heartburn.
It's really just simple life experience, only packaged in a nicer way.
"in addition……"
Nakajima Hiroshi withdrew his hand and smoothed out the hem of Yukino's clothes.
He did not take any further steps.
You'll have to pay more.
"On your way home, be sure to keep your lower abdomen warm; it might make you feel much better."
Yukino was silent for a moment, then sighed.
For a fleeting moment, she wanted to pull her leg back off the other person.
Of course, this is not because I dislike Nakajima Hiroshi.
On the contrary.
Yukino was even a little reluctant to let it go and wanted to add another clock.
She suddenly felt that her behavior might have been too frivolous.
Women are indeed adorable creatures that are easy to please.
