Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 49: Mutual-Evit 9 of 10 “Has been taken” (Part 05)
“Hahah, it is true.” Odo stared lightly at the blonde man next to him, then casually said, “I didn't question them one by one, either, I asked Madam there and she gave the data of regular customers who often come.”
“Madam Theodora?” aprilo.
“Tuan ..” His personal butler held tightly onto Aprilo's shoulders and grew increasingly stareful, sending the executive paling back.
“Hmm ...” Odo nodded lightly, gazed towards Aprilo and replied, “ It's from Madam Theodora. More secret, but I can only tell you that I've made a transaction with one of the leaders there. Now it should be Alms Lilac brothel that he processed it will be the only time at the end of autumn this year.”
“Eh? Why ...?” ask Iitla.
Odo looked at the Soldier's Head, then replied, “Disclosure .... The rest of you consider it my company's secret. In essence, the place will change completely.”
“Change? What has changed like?” ask Aprilo. Despite getting a sharp glare from his personal Butler, the executive still asked curiously.
Odo looked back at the executive, then said, “I asked back, Mr. Aprilo .... What do you come to such a place for?”
The executive gasped, momentarily silent and unable to answer directly. Turning his face away and putting on a guilt-filled expression, he hesitantly replied, “I ... come there for fun. But!!”
Aprilo looked straight at Odo, then with all his excuses, “I have absolutely no intention of betraying my wife and family! Maybe Mr. Odo doesn't understand, but for a man to go for days on work without anything to relieve stress it's very hard! I came there just to reduce the burden of the mind! Not because I want to cheat or anything! I'm not a guy who likes to play girls!”
From a female point of view the statement was just a booze from the man who had committed an affair with a prostitute, Lisia and Vil stared flatly and looked down on such an act without giving any tolerance at all. Arca was also not much different from the two women, feeling disgusted and immediately lowering her respect for the executive.
Odo is different, does not immediately draw conclusions as they are. digesting the reason and trying to understand it. Calmly the young man of black hair asked, “Mr Aprilo... do prostitution according to the procedure, right?”
“Of course! I chose the best place and did not force it! I just want to release stress, not add stress or create problems there!”
“Hmm, he-hem .... I get it.” Odo nodded and the words left Arca, Vil and Lisia astonished. Not caring about their gazes, Odo clearly said, “I also often feel stressed and sometimes want to be close to women. Indeed ... women it's one of the best stress relieving ways.”
Everyone was surprised, the words were as if Odo was used to playing women even though he was very young. Wiskel stared flatly at the young man with black hair, then immediately said, “If Lord or Lady heard it would be sad, they did not think that their only child even likes to play women.”
Odo directly stared flatly at the old man, then without rudely saying, “I don't want to hear that from you! Not that you're the one who when you're young most often plays women and even impregnates your slut?”
“Ak—!”
Wiskel instantly went wide when she heard that, completely gaping as Odo exposed the disgrace he had been craving for more than a decade. The old man was completely trembling in his seat, adding in dismay as Lisia looked at him with disgust and disappointment.
“I will not blame and say which is more true,” Odo said as he stopped staring and lowered his face.
At a glance the young man sighed, lau again said, “As I said earlier, the man can become weak when alone. Indeed some are even strong when alone, but it will definitely destroy itself ...” Odo looked flat at the woman with blue hair in front of him, then in a tone that seemed sad he said, “I like to talk to women, discuss something or discuss. Vil and Miss Lisia are also good when I talk, and I like it when I talk to them. I don't think that's too different from what you guys do. I'm all educated in this room, I have good morals and values. But ... those humane vices cannot be eliminated.”
“Speaking and screwing different people, Odo!” snapped Vil was upset because of the words. The Great Spirit stood up, stared intently and confirmed, “The two are very different!”
Odo lifted his face and looked straight at the blue-haired woman. With a faint smile he replied, “I understand it is different.” The young man in black hair had a slightly adorable expression, turned his gaze away and momentarily fell silent. Looking back at Vil, Odo momentarily sighed and again said, “This is not about men. Women also cannot live alone, all living things cannot satisfy themselves. Therefore they are looking for something to fill themselves .... It just so happened that the people in this place could fill the void by doing something like that, using prostitution. It was not much different from the magicians who fulfilled their passion with science, it was not much different from the aristocrats who satisfied their satisfaction with power
“But still it's all wrong!” firmly Vil with soft emotions, it was until the people in the room gasped as the quiet woman got angry. The Great Spirit broke through the table, then angrily said, “While it is indeed the nature of living things is still wrong! You're human! Not animals! Whatever the reason, it is still wrong! If they do that without thinking, they are as nothing as animals and monsters!”
Odo was at a glance speechless hearing that emotion-filled rebuttal. The fleeting atmosphere became silent after Vil's voice filled the room. But as if not fully grasping the anger of the Great Spirit, Odo instead felt happy and with a smile said, “That's true .... They are wrong, such a way of fulfilling satisfaction is wrong. Existing rights are not in accordance with the demands. They just pay women, use their services and leave. Honestly that's the problem.”
Vil took a deep breath and tried to calm down, still staring in annoyance and asking, “Then why do you want to develop the place?”
“Because that's all women living in brothel districts can do.”
Vil momentarily fell silent, not understanding what Odo meant. Silently, for a moment thought and tried to understand, but still what the young man said black hair could not be understood.
“You know, Vil ...” The sad look on Odo's face, he stared weakly and said, “Position Women who do not belong to aristocratic or noble families in this country are very weak, the work they can do is very limited because the education is very low. For those who have no parents, their only choice is to be a prostitute or a vagabond. Some are lucky and accommodated to orphanages or churches, but not always those places want to open the door and warmly welcome their arrival. The amount that can be taken care of is very limited ..”
“Tap course ...” Vil frowned, remained disapproving and propped up, “There must be a better job for them! The prostitution was wrong! Although I do not understand human morals and values, but once I see that prostitution is wrong!”
“I know ..., therefore moral improvements need to be made.” Odo let out a small sigh, stared flat and he again coaxed, “I want to turn the place into an entertainment district. Not serving customers with their bodies, but with their skills and games.”
“Games?” Vil stared in annoyance, stared intently and said, “His ends must have been ..”.
“You know, Vil .... The men who came to the place mostly wanted to relax their shoulders and have fun, not to hear the sad stories of the prostitutes .... Things like serving customers with a body happen because prostitutes there do not understand handling the expectations of men who become their customers.”
“But at the end of the day men are definitely eyeing women's bodies when it comes to such a place?!”
“Indeed ...” Odo does not dispute that, the brothel literally does work for that kind of thing. “But if women know how to handle them, men will stop targeting the body and will be satisfied by just chatting or playing board games with prostitutes,” said Odo.
Vil momentarily fell silent, he did not understand at all what the young man meant about the satisfaction of the men or anything like that. Basically, Vil does not understand why humans use the method of reproduction used for fun, but one thing is certain that considers it wrong is indeed in the mind of the Great Spirit.
“You who came with me should know that, Vil .... Since Madam cultivated her brothel, she had only received a few executive guests and did not even sleep with men anymore. He simply satisfies them by talking, accompanying and eliminating the fatigue of his customers.”
Vil gazed darkly and resolutely asked, “You believe the slut's remark?”
“He had no reason to lie about it.”
“Maybe it's just to tease you, Odo.”
“He's not my standard.”
“A—! That's not what it means ...”
“What do you want to say? Directly, no need to kelit.”
“Indeed .... Such a thing is indeed true.” Odo nodded, smiled lightly and asked, “So, do you know why?”
“The education level of the woman is different from that of other prostitutes .... Very different.”
“Therefore I want to give them an education. Provide expertise to them to expand their options. That's moral improvement .... When they get education and expertise, they will get other options for their lives. What makes them prostitutes is the limitation of expertise, they have no choice of work.”
“Do you think they want to learn?” Vil stared flatly, really showing no expression of agreement and refutation, “They, people like them live only to live, not live to thrive .... Are you sure they want to change?”
“Entahlah ...” Odo at a glance shrugged both shoulders, smiled lightly and said, “Only that time can only answer. But, if they could read and start reading a lot of books, I think the perspective of the prostitutes there would change. The human being is always evolving, Vil ..”
“Tap course .... What .... if they want to stop being prostitutes, who will accept them?!” snapped Vil.
“My company will accept them,” replied Odo directly.
“A—!” Aprilo was surprised by it and realized something, immediately he said, “What ... that's why you want to include illegal immigrants? To create an idea that those wasted people can change and still have a future?”
Staring at the executive, smiling Odo replied, “Ya, right.”
Aprilo dubious, “But .. can they be educated and directed? People with low education .... You know, they're problematic and unruly. That's why they became vagrants.”
“Ah, about that .... I'm handing it to Arca.”
“Eh?” The statue that had just listened was immediately confused and stared in wonder. He frantically said, “Wait! Why play throwing like that! Didn't you just appoint me as a manager?!”
Staring at the Rein family's eldest son, Odo put his index finger to the front of his mouth and said, “Tooling HR is also the manager's job.”
“I don't know how to take care of those fools! What do you think of me?! That's beyond my skills!” said Arca panicked because she felt it was beyond her ability.
“Quietly, that's according to your expertise.”
“Hah?” The statue was astonished, staring flatly and did not understand why Odo could casually say that.
Odo pointed straight at Arca, then grinned and said, “You are good at manipulating others and making them feel guilty with mental stress, right? Just use it to change those illegal immigrants. Threaten them, guide them, then control them. This may sound cruel, but the subordinate or rough lackey is most appropriate still stupid to be easily arranged. In fact, they should not be smarter than the leader. You should know what that means, right?”
“You ... want to squeeze their energy, yes?”
“Hurbs, not blackmailing ...” Odo stopped pointing, put on a thin smile and replied, “What I do is a reciprocal relationship. Mutualism. Instead of them continuing to be vagabonds and being able to die at any time of the season, so why not work for me and I'll feed them? Love them simple work, give them equal pay and guide them according to business needs.”
“What do you want them to do? The shop you want to make is a distributor, right? Take care of exports and imports between cities, using the trade union cooperation connection! You want to order those bums to be interlocutors! Your merchandise could even be stolen!”
“Who said that I would hire them into my shop?”
“Eh?” Arca was shocked, so were Aprilo and the people from the trade union side.
“They will be the source of raw goods.”
“A—!” Aprilo caught Odo's intention, then excitedly said, “So, yes! Mr Odo wants to use such a system! Buy raw materials from them at low prices, then process them and sell them! Hmm, that's right! If so surely the risk is reduced, but ..”
“What can they provide? Material encapsulate what exactly is it?” ask Arca who also more or less understands what Odo wants to say.
“Employers are people who can capitalize on developments, looking for ways to benefit from it with new innovations and creative ideas. About what I want to do, I'll tell you later .... Here ... there is our rival.”
Aprilo flinched, immediately grinning with enthusiasm because he got the sensation of challenge from the words of Odo. Putting on a smile that he hadn't shown for a long time, the executive asked, “So, yes .... Company secret again?”
“Hmm ...” Odo turned his head towards Aprilo, then replied, “Ya, company secret.”
Bruak!!
The office door suddenly opened, then a soldier wearing light armor tampa helmet entered and said, “Pak Iitla! N-Wawat! Lady Mavis and the Shieals are coming to town! They're heading to this barracks!”
“Lady?!” Wiskel was shocked, as were the people in the office, except for Odo, Arca, and Vil.
Sighing lightly, Odo Luke got up from his seat and wrestled off to stretch his slightly stiffened body. Looking towards Arca and Vil, the young man in black hair said, “We are running out of time, yes. There are still some things to explain .... Hah, yes already ...”
Without speaking any further to those in the office space, the three people got up from the spot and walked towards the door to exit. Odo's step stopped for a moment, then turned to the people in the room and said, “You better fix the way you think .... You are talented and have a lot of experience, but your mindset is narrow.”
It is unclear who Odo said that to, but Wiskel fully grasped the words directed at him. The Deputy Mayor lowered his face, briefly thought about it again and tried to understand Odo's words.
“A-What does Mr Odo want to see Lady directly?” asked Lisia while getting up from the seat.
“Hmm, of course. As a child I should have welcomed my mother.”
