Chapter 8 – Begin Negotiating with the Great Yamazaki
To meet the sudden demand for chronic potions, Wataru went to the Pharmacist’s Guild and increased the number of potions in stock.
He also signed a regular supply contract, so he is now able to respond to an increase in the number of transactions to a certain extent.
It is possible to meet the demands of the professional golfer Great Yamazaki, but is it really okay to sell him the potions as they are?
Wataru still cannot make up his mind.
The night he visited the Pharmacist’s Guild, Wataru sat in his room in front of his computer, researching information about Great Yamazaki.
As expected, there were a lot of bad reviews, and it was difficult to deal with.
There was a lot of rough play, and sometimes, he even broke the rules of golf, but he just kept going.
His gang members would get in the way of his rivals and disrupt their game.
It was normal for him to smoke during a game, and he wouldn’t even put it down while it was being televised.
The more he was investigated, the more it seemed that his morals were in question.
He also found out that he had apparently failed in a real estate investment and was in a lot of debt, which made him even more concerned.
However, he also understood why he was looking for potions.
“Cervical hernia, lumbar spondylolisthesis, sciatica? He’s just had an operation for the cervical hernia… It’s not surprising that he’s looking for potions if he wants to keep working.”
“So there’s a possibility that he mistakenly thinks that he can get some flexibility if he asks for it?”
“In the end, it all depends on the other party.”
“I hope the other party is satisfied with the product alone, Master.”
“Yes, but I wonder. I hope he doesn’t make unreasonable demands, like asking me to put in an extra piece or asking for a share of the profits.”
“Can’t you just avoid meeting him?”
“That’s what I’m worried about.”
If he cuts off all contact from the beginning, there is nothing to negotiate.
Even if he meets him only once, he will end up giving the other person a lot of information.
If he uses underhanded methods that barely avoid breaking the law, he will be in trouble if there is actual damage. Most importantly, he will be in trouble if he is too busy dealing with the situation, and it becomes too much for him mentally and physically.
“But on the other hand, I can’t just not meet him. It’s because of Ryo-chan’s request.”
“The reason you’re doing so well now is because Endo-san introduced you through his connections, right?”
“He’s just starting to get back on his feet, so I want to make sure he doesn’t have too many worries.”
“I think it’s wonderful that you value the connections you make with people like that, Master.”
“Thank you. Mariel knows me well, so I’m happy, too.”
Just having someone who understands makes all the hard work worthwhile.
Although he hasn’t rented an office yet, maybe that’s for the best.
If he had a fixed office, there was also the risk that it would be easier for people to gather information and interfere if necessary.
He didn’t know if Great Yamazaki still had connections to the Yakuza, but if he did, there was a possibility that he would be harassed.
Wataru had no choice but to arrange a meeting and tell him the date.
He would also rent the same studio as the last time.
“If it comes to it, I might need Aire’s power.”
“Yessss…”
Wataru looked at Aire.
There, Aire stood, her eyes glazed over and her face flushed.
Her whole body was covered in sweat, and she exuded a sweet smell.
“It looks like it’s going to be tough.”
“My body is hot, hot, hot…”
Her mouth was open, drool dripping down her chin and wetting her neck.
Her skin was wet with sweat as she breathed shallowly.
She was wearing only a shirt and pants now, and her body was hunched, knees pressed together, looking exactly like a female in heat.
Her nipples poked through her shirt.
She had been left alone for about an hour after being forced to drink the new aphrodisiac potion.
It was a ‘punishment’ for her attitude at lunch.
Her eyes, staring at Wataru, begged him to forgive her quickly, but Wataru had no intention of doing so for a while yet.
If he gave her his hand right away, it would be a reward, not a punishment.
The way she rubbed her knees together, seeking even the slightest stimulation, was very arousing.
“Oh, Master, I’m sorry, forgive me… forgive me…”
“Not good. I still have work to do, so just stand there.”
“Fuaahh… Mm. I-it’s so painful. Master… Please hurry up and touch me❤. Please, please.”
Wataru suppressed his excitement and continued with the necessary procedures.
It was definitely necessary work.
If he gave in to his momentary desires and slacked off, he would regret it later.
Mariel looked at Aire.
She looked as if she wanted it or was disappointed.
She watched the indecent scene and swallowed her saliva.
“Do you want to be like that, Mariel?”
“What? N-no, I don’t want to…”
“I see. You’ve been slacking off at work. I don’t approve of you slacking off while you work. Tomorrow, I’m going to give Mariel the same punishment. Be prepared for it.”
“Y-yes… I’m sorry, Master ❤.”
Mariel said her apology with a dazed expression.
Well, well, Wataru thought that he would ask for the aphrodisiac and the energy potion next time.
〇〇〇
The day of the meeting with Great Yamazaki was a very hot day.
The sun was beating down on them, and the heat had been intense for several days in a row.
Wataru and the others had arrived at the studio first and were getting ready when they heard the doorbell ring and turned to look at the entrance.
There was a man of about sixty, followed by a long line of middle-aged and younger men, making a total of about ten people.
Great Yamazaki dyed his hair jet black and had a body that looked like an athlete’s, so he looked younger than his age.
However, his face is intimidating and far from gentle.
At this point, it was different from the agreement.
The previous agreement for selling potions was that the buyer would always come alone.
The potions that Wataru was selling definitely fell under the category of pharmaceuticals, so if they were seen by a large number of people, there was a very high risk of being caught for violating the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.
Wataru’s expression became stern, and both Mariel and Aire went on alert.
“Hey, we agreed to meet alone!”
“I’m sorry about that. These guys said they had business here.”
“Then please wait outside.”
“Hey, hey, if I have to wait in this hot hallway with no air conditioning, I’m going to collapse!”
“Why don’t you go to a cafe or something?”
“Don’t be rude, I’m just here to buy something, you know?”
He makes up all kinds of excuses, but he doesn’t follow any of Wataru’s words.
All the men came to the studio.

Just as I thought, that Great Yamazaki is a yakuza. Luckily Wataru has Aire to take care of them. ✊👊
Thanks for the treat.

Someone will get a beating. Probably multiple someones, I hope. I wish for the exchange failing, but that would be anathema for a typical Japanese pushover MC. And you know what? There is no way to check the contents of that potion, so someone a little vengeful might mix something in that makes the one drinking permanently infertile as well. Again, not in this novel.
