[GAME LOADED. WELCOME BACK!]

Taeko woke up with a feeling that was all together mixed. Yesterday was nothing short of intense and he had a lot on his mind. Rei was still asleep as he got ready for the day. For today, he went for a plain black t-shirt, black and white track pants, and black hi-top along with his usual fingerless gloves. He threw on the [FF Motorcycle Jacket] as he was leaving to go over to Xavier's. It was until he was already knocking on his door that he realized it was six a.m.

The door swung open to reveal a pair of tits belonging to Marie Kanker, who clearly looked like she rolled out of bed with only a pair of black panties.

"It's too-wait, Taeko? How did you know I was here?" Marie asked.

"I didn't. I was just here to see my friend Xavier…" Taeko said as Marie let him in.

The apartment was similar to Xavier's old one but far more luxurious in comparison. A few rock posters were on the walls, but Taeko had asked how Marie and Xavier knew each other. Marie would get on a shirt and explain how they met.

"Small world. Can't believe you knew him nearly as long as me. What made you start dating him?" Taeko asked curiously.

"You've seen Red County. Not exactly a lot of prospects…Xavier has his head on right and he's single. Plus, I was already friends with him…so why not." Marie said as Xavier came out with a yawn.

"Taeko? Fuck…I forgot you always seem to wake up at the asscrack of dawn." Xavier said.

"Don't fret, I'll cook breakfast." Taeko stated as he went to the fridge. "Least I could do…"

In just a few moments, everyone would be eating [Complete Breakfasts] and drinking [Triple Shot Expressos] while catching up on old times.

"Man, I'm sorry you had to deal with that shit with Joja…and the fact that Morris got away totally blows." Xavier mused.

"Not exactly. For one, Joja has covered the whole thing up by basically handing cash to every resident as a way to keep our mouths shut. I took them to take the money…because they'll need it. Plus considering the Guild knows what's going on, they have Joja on their shitlist. And as for Morris, he knows he's fucked if he stays on the Ferngill Republic. And Joja would definitely warn him that trying to send a hit squad for me is no good…no he has to live with the fact he lost and there's not a damn thing he could do other than run." Taeko said as he finished his breakfast.

"So what's the plan now that you can't work on the farm?" Marie asked.

"There's other businesses to give my attention too." Taeko said before leaving.

He was quick to [Fast Travel] to the trailer park for some well-deserved time away. He collected the mail and went inside to leaf through it. A fancy letter about the upcoming party in Yelenhelm to celebrate his promotion.

"I need a plus one." He thought before his phone rang.

He answered to hear Kyu, who had a message on behalf of Kanako, that his new tenants were coming earlier than expected by this morning. He accepted the news before hanging up to walk around the park. He did have to ready the empty trailers and have a plan. Depending on how things went Mutsumi and Shinobu were going to be no issue at all, it was Naru that had his attention. Though considering Kanako's track record, he wouldn't be surprised if the Naru he was getting was a total mouse. His radar pinged letting him know someone was waiting in his trailer park office, so he got to it. He came to the office to find Naru Narusegwa waiting for him. She looked to have leapt right out of the manga with the color scheme of the anime. She had fair skin with long brown hair with two strands tied above the head and brown eyes. Despite the heat, she wore a yellow turtleneck sweater paired with a red skirt, black stockings, a pair of thick circular glasses, and black Mary Janes. He noticed the big 'sweater puppies' and he had to guess they were double Ds. He sat on the desk in front as the nervous girl greeted him.

"Tell me about yourself." Taeko asked.

"I'm a former student of Greenglass, but I had to drop out because I lack the funds to keep going. I heard that this place has low rent…" Naru said nervously.

"There's a reason for it to be low rent because it comes with a job. Tell me how's your sexual history?" She asked as Naru went red faced. "None at all? Well it's because here we follow a bit of 'free use'. Visitors pay to have 'use' of the residents 'on the clock'. It's optional, but it does lower your rent. We need the other park, but that's for families and costs a bit more."

He asked if she had some form of employment and she mentioned she was looking around. Then he had an idea.

"I do need someone to help with the rec center and regular maintenance of the vending machines. I'd be willing to give you that so you can seek an hourly job. All with no rent, but you'll be of free use to me." Taeko said as she stiffened.

Naru was nervous but her thoughts drifted to the money saved.

"And don't worry, I won't ask to go straight into the plunge. I'm quite busy with tons of ventures so you'll have plenty of time to yourself." Taeko said.

"So you'll be like a sugar daddy…" Naru said sheepishly.

"Tomato, tomato. Now if you've got no problem with the offer, you can start undressing…I'll need to see what I'm working with." Taeko said relaxing.

"Just stripping down?" She asked as she nodded.

She got up taking off the sweater revealing unblemished skin, a white strapless bra, a slight bit of stomach pudge that was barely noticeable, and wisps of underarm hairs poking out. Taeko told her it was no issue and to keep going. She unzipped her skirt letting it fall to the ground and to her kicked off shoes. The stocks were pulled off of her slender legs exposing white panties with tufts of brown hair poking out of it.

"I'm sorry about the hair…I…"

"Don't worry about it." Taeko mused. "I don't mind at all."

He got up to get behind to get a feel for her, getting a yelp out of her. The feeling did get her to bite her lip.

"You'll need to take these off too…I do need you to blend into the park." He said having unclasped Naru's bra to let it fall to the ground. "The female residents don't really wear much in the park…"

Naru hesitantly removed the panties revealing a hairy muff and he told her she'd fit right in. She'd sign the paperwork and leave the office very much naked. Taeko did have her left behind the underwear she was wearing. Next, Mutsumi came in. Her hair was much longer, being dark brown and styled into two looped pigtails on either side of their head. She was easily a size bigger than Naru…and clad in a simple green dress and slippers.

"Miss Otohime…what brings you here?" Taeko asked.

"Well, I got a small watermelon patch that I tend too…not too far away. But my business partner insisted I move closer to Angel Pine for my safety due to my anemia." Mutsumi said.

It was then he learned it was he learned she was walking with Brandy of all people. It dawned on him that she probably didn't know she was a skinhead at one point. Not that it mattered.

"Well, that's good. This place is very much welcoming…but we do have a free use policy. Given you pass out a lot I wanted to ask if this is okay with you…being used while you're out cold. At least when you're in the park of course and have yourself set up to take patrons." Taeko asked.

"Brandy mentioned this and how it works. It'll be fine. Autumn will be moving out to Forjado. So I can stay with Brandy." Mutsumi said as she signed the paperwork. "So I'll be fin-"

She passed out…fell face first on the desk. He took up the signed papers to file away before calling Brandy.

"Does she know you were a skinhead?" Taeko asked.

"Yeah, funny story about that. I didn't realize she was Asian until after I started fucking you…kinda the reason I went into business with her." Brandy said. "She signed the paperwork…"

"Yeah, but she passed on the desk." Taeko remarked.

"Then go ahead and take her for a ride. Call back when you're done, my dark stud." Brandy said before hanging up.

If she was okay with somnophilia, he'd give it a shot. However, Mutsumi would snap awake.

"I'm so sorry…"

"You need a doctor." Taeko remarked.

"Maybe I can afford to see one after a while." Mutsumi said before leaving.

He'd text Brandy that Mutsumi woke up and went to her. He knew he had to deal with one more only to get a call from Kanako.

"Yeah, I have to apologize…unable to secure Shinobu for you. My brother insisted on not doing it." Kanako stated.

"It's fine. Given Naru's new personality, she's got bits of Shinobu in her. So we're square." Taeko said before she hung up. "May as well check on Rosemary…"

What he found was Rosemary and Anna were not at the trailer and there was a note at the door saying they went fishing. He shrugged and went over to pay Katelyn a visit only to find packing up.

"Moving out?" Taeko asked as she squeaked.

"Yes…I am." Katelyn said. "I heard about your little team up with Delite. No offense, but I can't lay low here."

"That's fine." Taeko said as Katelyn was surprised to hear him accept it.

"Here. Extra too as thanks for not handing me over to the Yelenhelm feds." She asked.

"Quite frankly, I am a bit peeved. I'll never have a chance at your ass, but it's fine. Where are you off too anyway?"

"Forjado Fierro. Made enough to get me a van and get most of my things I can't store in storage. Going to find some work there. My scamming days are over." Katelyn admitted. "Considering what you and Delite did, I don't want the royal guard waltzing into Ferngill to get my ass. I'm not strong enough to fend that off."

Katelyn said get in her new Bravado [Paradise] before driving away after picking the last of her stuff up. He watched her go wondering if Nora and Ren were leaving too…but he'd find that Ren had already. Nora was packing her things.

"Yeah, we were going to call. Ren got a job offer in his field over in Paradiso. I'll be joining him after I handle some business." Nora said kindly. "I did have to hand you a cut of our profits."

"Well I'm glad you're going on in your life. I assume the next step in your relationship is around the bend." Taeko mused as she nodded. "Wait, profits?"

"From me and Renny's side-gig. Your trailer park was really useful for it." Nora said. "But first, how about a goodbye kiss?"

She slipped down to her knees to get to his pants, pulling them down to get his member free.

"Damn, if I had more time…I'd want this in me." Nora said before spitting on it before taking it in her mouth.

He planned for her to make it. Ren had her most of the time, he could wait an hour or two. Her soft orange hair was in his grip as she bobbed her head. She shifted her hand to make room for her mouth once more, and took all of Taeko's shaft in again. Her movements had become faster, curling her fingers around his length. Her strokes became quicker and more frantic, as did the movement of her head. She wanted to get him off quickly, and Taeko delivered. Given he was a bit pent up, his orgasm came easily giving Nora a mouthful of sperm that she swallowed.

"You sure you can't stay a bit longer?" Taeko asked.

"Tempting, but no. Ren's waiting for me…" Nora said as she got up. "And he takes priority."

"Fair enough." Taeko said, fixing himself up.

Nora handed him a check and she'd be packed up leaving the park for good. That check was auto-deposited into the System turning out to be 10,000 gold. He decided to go to his trailer and [Fast Travel] to Forjado, figuring he should do some missions over there.

~MoS~

Bonnibel squeaked as Taeko suddenly appeared in the safehouse but she greeted him. He asked about the garage and she perked up.

"I was about to go over there myself." Bonnibel said. "We'll have to walk though."

"No problem."

The two left the apartment.

"So how's our stuff?" Taeko asked.

"Lee knows her way around cars. She and Alonzo get along. Maria's making it a tight ship." Bonnibel said. "It's frankly just relaxing. Not having to worry about being a princess…looking back, I kinda fucked things up."

They arrived to find Maria directing Taeko to his office where Velma left a letter for him.

"Taeko, I know you probably want to get started with the garage, but there's some stuff that needs to be done. You need to buy the car dealership that's not too far away as you'll need a place to sell the stolen cars. Don't worry, you won't have to go through Driving School to buy it, instead the incentive is a bonus if you do pass them. Once you get the dealership, your team can get to work."

Taeko promptly used a bit of his ki to incinerate the letter before leaving to walk up to the dealership just a bit up the road. He came up to see one of Lin's friends driving away from the place and he spied the owner who clearly looked annoyed.

"Oi, you run the place?" Taeko asked.

"What's it to you?"

"I wish to buy the place from you." Taeko mused as the owner flinched. "I own the garage down the street."

The owner's eyes widened for a moment before a wide smirk formed on his face.

"150,000. Not only will you get the building, but you'll have a constant stock of Sultan Classics, Jester Classics, Uranuses, and Mananas from my supplier. You'll also get control of the built in Pay 'n' Spray and mod garage. But you'll need to get new staff to get them running to open them up."

Taeko paid up as the now former owner asked if he was going to change the name.

"Dà Wang Cars." Taeko said as the former owner was laughing.

"Knowledgeable about the language and a sense of humor, you'll go far kid." The owner said before getting in his car to leave. "Good luck."

[Dà Wang Cars has been obtained and merges with your garage as a complete asset! You can now do vehicle work as can your crew. In terms of profits, your dealership will generate a profit of 1,143 Gold a day.]

The signage even changed, and he was glad he did not have to pay for that. However, he noticed a familiar van roll up. Out of it came Katelyn dressed up a bit, calling out to Mr. Wang.

"Hello Katelyn." Taeko remarked before telling her he's the new owner of Dà Wang Cars.

"Well shit, either Wang played me or you offered him some serious cash. Fuck it, is the saleswoman job on the table or am I going to have to suck you off for it?" Katelyn asked in a deadpan tone.

"No, it's not on the table because I want you as a manager." Taeko said. "You know the game, and you're not stupid enough to backstab me. Also if you're offering to handle my di-"

"I got just one condition. I want a pardon." She interrupted.

"What was the crime?" Taeko asked.

"Tax evasion and some white collar crimes. Get me that pardon, and you can have all the ass you want from me." Katelyn affirmed as he got out his phone.

He called up Dijonay and he even put it on speaker to prove he was serious.

"Good to hear, you're serious about getting in shape. I got something to ask…I want to pardon someone. Katelyn Dard." Taeko remarked.

"Dard? She's on the hook for tax evasion…money owed to you. We even got her connected to some white collar fraud ring. Might I ask why?"

"For once, I got her hired on a project of mine. Nothing illegal, but she'd be able to look out for this operation given her skills. Plus I'll handle her tax evasion punishment personally." Taeko stated.

"You're going to fuck her, are you?" Dijonay bluntly asked. "Not that I'm judging you. I am going to say that while I can pardon her for her other crimes, she'd still have to pay the fine for tax evasion. I'm actually surprised she'd been hiding in Ferngill for so long."

Katelyn gulped. When Taeko asked how much, Dijonay explained it was 50 grand and he paid it off.

"Well then, I'll have it done now." Dijonay said before bidding him goodbye.

"I'll pay you back. Not like I have a choice in the matter." Katelyn said. "But…thanks."

"Oh don't worry, your paycheck is just going to cut in half until I get my 50k back. But I'm not going to be unreasonable about it and let you move back to the trailer park rent free until that debt's clear." Taeko remarked.

"Can I get at least a fast car?" She asked. "I'm going to need one."

He looked at the cars in the dealership and went to a Kuruma to get the car keys to which he tossed them to her.

"Thanks." Katelyn said. "For what it's worth…you're a pretty good noble."

She gave a slight moan when he grabbed her plump backside.

"And you'll be a good girl." Taeko teased before letting go.

Katelyn would be given a bit of a rundown and he'd leave her to get settled before returning to the garage's office to get the filling in on how this was going down. He was informed that he could now do VW work. He'd get a call from Velma this time.

"Well I got a staff put together for the dealership." Velma explained.

"Got a manager for it." Taeko remarked.

"I let your garage stuff know we're in business. You'll have some missions to do, but at your own pace so your employees can work. I'll handle getting people for the dealership. I'd recommend going to the Switchblade Triad's better shop…you do have work to do. By the way, one of the bugs that were fixed restored an item you were supposed to get, your gang's varsity jacket." Velma said before hanging up.

Using his closet in his office, he swapped the jacket out for his varsity jacket. He also swapped the shirt for a white tank top. Looking at the time, he decided to go after lunch.

[GAME PAUSED? WOULD YOU LIKE TO QUICK SAVE?]

[Yes *] [No]

….

[GAME QUICKSAVED! Hurry back.]

(A/N: And there we go, we're back. To let you all know, I had altered of the deal between Taeko and Kanako. I realized he would not want to take chances with Mitsune either, especially given in some continuities she's a journalist. Either way, we continue the Forjado storyline.)
