homeless, maybe looking at entranceway

Mundane.

Are you really looking at places to send me? You do realize there's only one way to get me to go to any of those places, and that involves payment. If you're not going to pay me, I'm not going. That's before we get into how my friends aren't even there. Without an Earth Defense Club there isn't going to be much to do.

It isn't all about Ryuu, you know. I have finances that need managing too. If I'm away I can't keep my off-shore accounts afloat. Simple, right?

[Nope. This is going nowhere. Io folds his arms and sighs.]

At least make it somewhere warm and somewhere with some kind of profit margin to be made.

The only way to see if it's possible to make a profit out of it or not is to go and see for yourself, isn't it? You wouldn't want to leave it all in Mundane-san's hands.

That would be true, but she already admitted there's no minimum wage.

[Gives a rueful smile and shrugs. The mundane isn't the sneakiest.]

Yet. There isn't one yet.

And in case, you seem very responsable! I'm sure you can manage no matter where she sends you!

You have off shore accounts?

[Not very surprising.]

I have to manage my international finances somehow.

[Doesn't even miss a beat.]

And you're sure that you don't want to be our treasurer?

[Because for once he was positive Akoya actually was on to something useful.]

[Actually looks like he's giving that one some thought.]

Hmmm. Only if you fix the wage dispute. If you can offer me more then I'll take that position.

How much higher?

Who knows? You're the one bidding. Besides, I can't tell you the current value of what I have right now, that would be an unfair advantage. Let's just say that last time around, it wasn't even close when I thought about it.

How much are you asking? I would be more than happy to meet it.

[This. This right here is why you need a treasurer.]

How much am I asking? Let's start with the sum of everything.

You know that's not what I meant.

[He is so unamused.]

You will be controlling the school's finances. I will pay you thirty percent more.

[Eyebrow raise. That's quite a large amount for an initial offer and even Io's surprised.]

And if I said no?

What do you mean by "too"? Are you implying that I need managing?

And anyway, you already know that the club can't exist without you.

That only applies to my finances, Ryuu. I'm not implying anything.

It may have to if the mundane sends me somewhere. Maybe they'll overlook the five-person rule on account of kidnapping.

They won't overlook it! And you're getting paid, aren't you? How exactly is that a kidnapping?

Then we have a problem. And no, no payment if I get sent to one of those places. Some will give accommodation but not a single yen, not even a minimum wage.

[ very disturbing..... ] What kinds of places don't have money?

If you're really being kidnapped, I think that's more of a problem...! Can't you transform and do something about it? I'll help you, too, you know!

Is it a kidnapping when I know about it beforehand? Maybe it's more of an extreme detention?

[Gives a small smile at the offer of help.] I've heard threats just make them dig their feet in more. Do you not have similar problems with yours, Ryuu?

Of course I don't. In my case, I'm dealing with a girl, so you know that happens to be my specialty.

But what about you? If you're being forced to go when you don't want to, and you're not receiving any sort of compensation, isn't that like extortion??

[ ~~oh ryuu there are no such things as girls~~ Of course they're a girl, at least Io can relate to that. But then Ryuu is more the expert there and -

EXTORTION? - ! ]

[ Clenches fist. ]

I'll never allow it! I'll go where I want.

[Aaaand breathe.]

It's good to know you have yours under control. They're not looking at a "home" for you?

Heh, that's more like it!

[But as for that latter question, Ryuu just waves it off.]

Trying to fit it into either of our schedules would be a nightmare. And if I lose any more time for dates, then I'd lose my mind.

[Much better. That and he'll just go on strike if he has to.]

Mine says her schedule is full. I get the feeling it'll happen anyway, they like to point out that the "checks are low" these days. Then again yours could send you somewhere where there are no girls. Then you really would be in trouble.

[No wages. No girls. This is the absolute worst.]

No girls!? Not only would I not stand for that, but the girls I know absolutely wouldn't allow it! Crap, now you've kind of got me worried.

I think the odds are in your favor. I don't think there are many places that don't have girls.

[There there....]

Unless you're being kept in a "box". Sometimes they don't have girls. [Sorry Ryuu, it's his duty as bff to tell you these things....]

Well, it's not like we have any girls at our school, so maybe it actually might be in my favor to travel abroad? If we're just considering the ratio, that is.

But anyway, it doesn't matter because we can't abandon the club! We already decided that, right?

Ah. You went and casually said it... [Io isn't even going to think on the fact that there just doesn't seem to be any girls around at all. Ever.] A trip abroad would be useful when it comes to these kinds of things, and I know I could do with checking out how payments work elsewhere.

Right. If the club moves then we'll move with it.

[Unless it's somewhere without money, then he'll dig his feet in a little.]

Ohh, now there's an idea! We'll move the entire club with us! Of course it's only hypothetical, but maybe there's a place out there that's ideally beneficial for all of us. In that case, it's good to get this kind of experience while we're young, right?

[He just wants to max out his address book, really.]

Seishun, hmm? And it is a good idea and I'm sure the others wouldn't have a problem with it especially if it's warm, with an onsen and has a beach. And a place that sells new toothbrushes. [What, no, he's not bitter over that gosh]

This kind of experience is invaluable. Shall we go looking?

[Business contacts....so many business contacts.]

[He doesn't blame your bitterness one bit. In the end, they never did catch the culprit, huh.]

Yeah, let's look! It's probably a better idea that we scout something out before Kinugawa-senpai books another dubious place...

[The idea of some unscrupulous toothbrush-using indirect kiss stealing person being out there is still offensive. But hey, if they wind up somewhere and it doesn't happen then that's Ryuu in the clear!]

Right, otherwise we'll end up at that beach again. Not that it was a complete disaster. [Taps his chin in thought.] We'll need a checklist. So far we have

Somewhere with girls.
Somewhere with a monetary system.
With an onsen.

I'm sure the other three would need something? Though I know one person would be upset without something to cuddle. [Will never understand you, Yumoto.]

We can confirm with them later, but I sort of get the feeling that an onsen is enough for Kinugawa-senpai and Yufuin-senpai. As for Yumoto...

[Something to cuddle, huh? Even if he wants to take Wombat along, it's not like they can leave their class without a teacher.]

Hmm, I know some girls who would like to cuddle! I could do him a favor and introduce him. It'd be good for him to start leveling up in that regard too, don't you think?

It's the simple things that matter. An onsen sounds really good right about now.

[Life without one is suffering.....That and the idea of Yumoto cuddling girls gets a wary smile. Io's not too sure if that one would work out or not.] He could be too young. Besides, I'm sure I heard him say that one of the main criteria was the soft fur. That and a big nose...

[Okay no, now that is a weird mental image right there.]

That or it'd work too well. We'd never see him again, Ryuu.

[Soft fur and a big nose... Planting those qualities onto what he's offering makes for an uncomfortable mental image indeed, so he's quick to dismiss it, himself.]

You're probably right. He's so immature, he'd probably end up embarrassing all parties involved. Not to mention the damage that I could suffer for being the one to recommend him. We'll worry about leveling him up first and save the introductions for when he's ready.

[Could suggest that Ryuu introduces Yumoto as his little brother, but then Io remembers the triplets.

No. Just no.]

I think if we could get him away from Wombat for five minutes it would be classed as a success. He might go into shock if it was for a whole day to begin with though. Anyone who sends Yumoto somewhere that has no animals is just being cruel.

And I haven't seen anywhere that has an onsen. [That's the major part of it all. No onsen, no friends.] We could always try making one where we went and charging a small fee for usage.

Even five minutes is going to be a challenge for him. I swear he keeps upping his limits everyday. Wombat should really say something about it.

[Which he does. It's just that no one listens.]

Now that you mention it, Yumoto's family owns the onsen, so I bet he's pretty capable of running one. It might not be natural, though, so maybe we should see if his brother wants to come along...? It could put his skills to use, too!

It really is animal harassment. Wombat should speak up before Yumoto gets worse.

[Apparently Wombat's shrieks have not been heard.]

We could see if he wants to come along. Or at least get the information from him instead of dragging him somewhere. He would need to stay and look after his own place, and it's one less person to pay on our end.

[Scruples? What're those?] If we manage it in a place with no onsen at all, or anything like it, the profit and popularity margins will be nearly impressive.

True, we can't really take him away from his current job. I bet it's not too hard to run one anyway, so we should be able to manage!

Though, you know, if we're going to the effort of creating one ourselves, what do you think about a mixed bath? Huh? It's rare! I bet people would even be willing to pay more for it!

[nudge nudge, wink wink]

I suppose it wouldn't be fair of us to deprive others of that place. [Even if it is usually just them for the most part that uses it. Huh.]

A mixed bath? [That's definitely a Ryuu idea.] If customers don't like it they'll go elsewhere. There should be an option of two, one mixed and one not. Or the one and have a mixed day every so often in the week. That way no-one is alienated and everyone has the option to be a paying customer.

[What is this discussion even.]

I'd rather it be mixed all the time, but I know when to compromise. All right, so it's settled then! [What is settled, exactly...?]

I'm for the "one day a week" option. That way, you could even advertise it as a special promotion!

Two days a week would probably make more money if you said a weekday for those who didn't work, and a weekend day for those who did. Right then! [Wait....where is this going to even.....?]

Now we just have to find the location and the rest, with some work, will fall into place.

Oh, right. The location. I was so into the idea that I forgot the most basic part.

It has to be somewhere with planning permission or we won't be setting anything up. And we need to wait until school ends for the summer.

[taps his chin.] My mundane isn't exactly being helpful now.

Right, right. At least that gives us plenty of times to hash out the details! I can ask some of the girls I know for some information, too. One of them might know of a perfect place.
