After all, Renji Miyauchi felt that instead of letting Itō Kaiji continue to risk his life in casinos, it would be better for him to shoot some videos with him.
Thinking about it carefully, Kaiji's personality is actually quite suitable.
High endurance — Itō Kaiji has experienced so many ups and downs in his life, been betrayed and sold out countless times, and even lost an ear and had four fingers cut off in a gamble. Even so, he was still able to turn the tables in an unfavorable situation. Such psychological quality is definitely top-notch.
The show's effect is also excellent — giving away wins when ahead, messing up when holding an advantage, crying when at a disadvantage, and turning the tables in desperate situations.
In terms of personality, he is also a scoundrel who hates the rich but possesses a moral bottom line.
The biggest issue is his gambling addiction. He was evaluated as someone who, after experiencing life-and-death struggles in casinos, could no longer be satisfied by other ordinary excitements.
However, vengeful spirits and ghosts are things on a different track entirely.
Want to seek the thrill of hovering between life and death?
Then this area is perfect for him!
Looking at Itō Kaiji, who still looked like a lowlife, Renji Miyauchi almost blurted out, "Please, you must join my team" on the spot.
Renji Miyauchi actually no longer remembered the name of the man who had Itō Kaiji sign the high-interest loan guarantee right in front of him.
He only remembered that the other party, Furuhata Takeshi, seemed to have also been sent to that cruise ship by debt collectors in the future, and at the end of the gamble, he betrayed Kaiji again for money.
Facing such a gambling addict who was subservient to outsiders but aggressive towards his own peers, even Renji Miyauchi before he obtained the diary wouldn't have been afraid of him.
Therefore, after Renji walked in, Furuhata Takeshi's eyes had already begun to show a great deal of guilt.
Before Furuhata could react, Renji had already snatched the guarantee from his hand and checked the debt information on it.
It stated that a person named Furuhata Takeshi had applied for a loan of 300,000 yen from a lending company.
With Itō Kaiji's current income of 150,000 to 200,000 yen per month as a convenience store clerk, this loan was roughly equivalent to nearly two months of his current salary.
It didn't seem like much; even if he paid 50,000 yen a month, he could probably pay it off in about half a year.
But this was a high-interest loan.
Looking at the clause that clearly stated the interest on this loan was 20% monthly compound interest, Renji, whose math was not bad, almost instantly calculated the change in the amount of this high-interest loan over the next year.
"The first month alone has already generated 60,000 in interest, the second month it becomes 70,000 more... After a year, the interest alone will exceed 2 million yen. Do you really want to sign such a guarantee for him?"
Saying this, Renji Miyauchi handed the guarantee to Itō Kaiji, who was shocked by the 2 million figure.
"Compared to a guarantee, I think this is more like a trap designed for you by him and that loan company."
"For a period after signing the guarantee, the loan company won't actively come to you for debt collection, but only after some time, when the interest on this loan has rolled up to millions, will those loan companies send people with this guarantee, signed by your own hand, to demand money from you."
As Renji reminded him, Furuhata's body also began to tremble, as if Renji had hit a nerve.
He tried to explain to Itō Kaiji.
"Kaiji-senpai, please listen to me, I absolutely didn't mean that."
"I just needed a little capital to find this loan company. Two days, with this capital, I only need two days at most to pay it back, and it won't continue to roll interest like this."
Listening to this classic gambling addict rhetoric, Renji Miyauchi couldn't help but laugh on the spot.
He looked at Itō Kaiji.
He had already warned him, anyway. If Kaiji still wanted to guarantee the other party out of so-called "friendship," then he wouldn't need to persuade him any further.
Fortunately, although Itō Kaiji was soft-hearted, he was not a fool after all.
The reason he and Furuhata Takeshi could be friends was because they often went to the nearby pachinko parlor to play a few games after work when they had nothing to do.
Before, he was moved by the other party's plea and didn't think carefully about the serious implications behind it, which is why he had the idea that it was no big deal to just sign for the other party.
It wasn't until Renji interrupted their conversation, and his original intelligence returned to his brain, that Itō Kaiji realized the problem.
Kaiji, whose monthly salary was only a little over 100,000 yen, had not yet fully awakened his gambling addiction; even when he went to play pachinko, he would only do so after calculating that his remaining salary was enough for living expenses.
But Furuhata Takeshi seemed to have gradually become addicted in the past few months, playing for increasingly larger stakes, and even Kaiji couldn't help but privately advise the other party several times, but failed to make him repent.
And now, what kind of situation would require Furuhata to borrow 300,000 yen from a high-interest loan company? Furuhata had been acting pitiful for a long time but hadn't mentioned the reason for borrowing money, nor had he mentioned anyone in his family being sick before.
So, this man borrowed money simply to gamble with it, right?
No, perhaps before this, the other party had already borrowed money from many loan companies.
It's just that those monies might have already been lost by him, which is why he set his sights on himself.
Itō Kaiji, with his normal intelligence restored, almost instantly judged the current situation of this seemingly honest junior in front of him.
A few drops of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.
Then he abruptly returned the guarantee to Furuhata Takeshi.
"Sorry, I can't do this. You should discuss it with your family!"
Saying this, Kaiji cast a grateful look at Renji Miyauchi, who was standing nearby, and then returned to the convenience store.
That was close. If it weren't for this kind-hearted young man passing by, he might really have fallen into someone else's trap.
Renji Miyauchi then looked at Furuhata Takeshi, who wanted to frame Itō Kaiji.
This guy was indeed quite cowardly.
Renji stood in front of him and spoke out his dark thoughts, but Furuhata, apart from saying "disrespectful" at first, had been standing there with a blank stare, neither daring to continue pestering Kaiji nor daring to confront or fight Renji, who had ruined his plans.
Looking at his dazed expression, who knows what he was thinking.
Perhaps he was thinking about who else he could exploit besides Itō Kaiji.
However, as long as one carefully reads the contents of this guarantee, apart from Kaiji, who is easily swayed, few people would be willing to be this guarantor.
Renji didn't care about Furuhata's dirty thoughts.
Instead, he followed Itō Kaiji's footsteps and entered the convenience store with him.
Itō Kaiji, who had just entered the convenience store and was preparing to continue working, turned his head and saw Renji Miyauchi following him, and couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought the other party wanted to buy something, so he quickly assumed the posture of a convenience store clerk and asked the other party what he needed, while also adding a thank you at the end.
"Customer, thank you so much for reminding me just now. Otherwise, I might have ignorantly signed that guarantee."
Renji Miyauchi nodded noncommittally.
Then he handed Kaiji a business card from Asahigaoka Media.
Of course, his identity on this business card was not a chairman or general manager; the position on the business card was just an ordinary video director.
"Although it's a chance encounter, I think your image is quite fitting for our company's requirements. If you feel your current life is too mundane and want to make some changes, you can call me."
"If you're not at ease, you can first check our company's situation online before making a decision."
After handing the business card to Itō Kaiji, Renji Miyauchi didn't say much, just bought a few bottles of drinks at the convenience store and left.
Given Kaiji's personality, which desires to achieve something great in life but is also hesitant, he will most likely call the number on the business card to inquire after researching Asahigaoka Group's rise to prominence.
At that time, as long as Renji half-truthfully frightens Kaiji and then paints a grand picture for him, he can pretty much bring him under his wing.
Therefore, Renji was not in a hurry; only when Kaiji actively sought him out could he better manipulate him.
Walking all the way to the deserted abandoned villa, Renji Miyauchi observed it carefully.
It was already evening, and under the not-so-bright streetlights, it indeed had a somewhat eerie and chilling atmosphere.
Renji, very satisfied with the environment, took a few photos, then thought for a while about how to shoot the video tomorrow, and returned home.
It was time to complete today's work.
[After wandering around for a few days, I finally returned to Tokyo today.
I'm starting to prepare for Kasumigaoka Utaha-sensei's autograph session tomorrow. Of course, I hope Utaha-sensei doesn't get too caught up in my affairs and overlooks her most loyal fan.
Also, I wonder how Miss Gokō Ruri, the Black Cat from Chiba, feels about Jerry, who is temporarily staying at your house.
I'm really afraid it will tear down my house if it stays there all the time, so for now, I'll let it roam outside for a while.
But you don't have to worry, although Jerry is indeed a bit mischievous and always causing trouble, it is essentially a good mouse. I hope you all can get along happily.
Of course, as compensation, besides the advanced Ripple Breathing cultivation method that it can guide you with, I also gave Jerry many useful things, all stored in its small bag. If you can satisfy it, it might also take out those things as your rewards.
Additionally, this trip also made me realize that this world, whether it's the surface world where ordinary people live or the inner world with extraordinary beings, does not entirely follow the trajectory of stories.
Before, I used to write your stories in the diary, and the fates of you girls who received the diary have already changed.
However, even without my appearance, those characters who do not have a diary may also experience changes in their stories due to contact with characters from other works.
In short, let me give you an example using the surname Takanashi.
In the world before I transmigrated, Takanashi was an extremely rare surname, with only about thirty people in all of Japan bearing the surname Takanashi.
But interestingly, the surname Takanashi, due to its unique pronunciation rules, has gained considerable popularity in various film, television, and anime works; I've seen over a dozen Takanashis in the works I've watched alone.
Therefore, a phenomenon has emerged in this world.
The surname Takanashi is still quite rare, yet it is inexplicably distributed across various regions of Japan.
Hokkaidō, Kyoto, Tokyo, and there are even Takanashis who have transmigrated to another world to become a saintess and a vampire.
Although I don't know if the latter two Takanashis exist, based on my observations, most Takanashis may have relatively close family ties.
So, if something happens to one Takanashi, Takanashis in other regions might also extend a helping hand due to family ties, thus causing a change in the original fate of that Takanashi.
For a spoiler like me, this feeling of familiar stories going beyond my control is indeed a bit subtle, and I don't know whether this change is good or bad for this world.
However, since something as unreasonable as the diary has appeared, you girls who hold the diary should at least share some of the pressure with me.
Also, since I've already mentioned it, I might as well say a little more.
A certain Takanashi who claims to be the 'Evil Eye of the Wicked Lord'(Evil King's True Eye), I wonder if you know a Takanashi who has been married three times and had three daughters with three different wives. If you are not sure, you can also ask your sister.
In short, in the near future, that Takanashi will encounter a plane crash while traveling with his third wife, leaving behind three unattended daughters.
However, I don't know when the other party will board that plane that might have a crash. I can only confirm that the other party is still safe for now.
So, if you want to change the fate of this Takanashi couple and her daughters, you'll have to figure out a way yourself, because I have too many things to focus on right now and it's hard to be comprehensive.]
After completing today's diary, Renji Miyauchi began to tinker with the filming equipment he had brought from Asahigaoka.
And as expected, after his diary was sent out, it immediately caused a heated discussion among the girls in the chat group.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Although I'm 80% sure that the Mysterious Person won't come to my autograph session tomorrow, it's still very annoying to see this man keep mentioning my autograph session!"
After all, what if the other party really came?
A 20% chance might seem low, but it's still 20%, isn't it?
Utaha asked in the group how many people were planning to attend her autograph session tomorrow, so she could arrange things on her end.
The girls who had already agreed to play games together this week quickly popped up in the group to say that they could use Utaha's autograph session as a meeting point, and if they didn't find the Mysterious Person, they would go to a nearby game center to compete in their gaming skills to decide their status in the group later.
Ruri Gokō was originally also a member of the gaming group, but now she had an extra Jerry at home and also had to figure out how to explain Jerry and Ripple Breathing to Tama-chan and Hinata, asking them not to blurt it out, so she naturally didn't have time to come to Tokyo this week.
But she had nothing to regret.
After all, just as the Mysterious Person said, in just one day, under Jerry's guidance, she felt that her Ripple Breathing cultivation was equivalent to the cultivation experience gained from three or four points of reading value.
What's more, the Mysterious Person also said that Jerry had brought many things with it, which made Ruri Gokō even more attentive to taking care of Jerry.
However, she didn't just sit there; instead, she @Takanashi Rikka (Evil King's True Eye) in the group, wanting to know how she planned to resolve the matter the Mysterious Person wrote about in the diary.
