Redeeming Arrabella

Of Japanese high-ranking officers who were then serving in the Dutch East Indies, men 'clean' named Takeshi is very well known as the only leader who allows his men to take his wife sailing in order to keep the desire of his staff so as not to snack carelessly. Although secretly, there are also some members who can not stand it, especially those who are still bachelor or whose wife is still in Japan, come to the ianjo to have fun with the jugun ianfu built. If caught, Takeshi usually takes action to remove the soldier from his unit, which means he is fired if the soldier refuses to marry the girl he slept with.

"Did Mr. Takeshi want to be with Arrabella tonight?" ask Irene.

Katsuro nudged Takeshi's arm that did not respond to Irene's question as her gaze was fixed on the scene outside the pavilion, precisely to the room where several different types of people are engrossed in chatting and there are even those who do not hesitate to make out there.

'I'm sorry Fuyumi, I was forced to take the ianjo girl to be our babysitter. I hope that girl does not bring negative influence to Himawari someday, Takeshi thought.

"Hey, don't be so absorbed in seeing them. Later you even want to know, did you hear not what Irene said?" whispered Katsuro.

Takeshi gasped, "Eng .. sorry, can it be repeated?"

"Did Mr. Takeshi want to be with Arrabella tonight?" reiterate Irene with a seducing tone.

"I-iya, uh .. no, no. I'm sorry, I mean I'll take this girl out" Takeshi said.

"Oh, so you're going to use your services for a few days outside the ianjo like Mr. Katsuro did yesterday?"

"Ehm, I-yes." Takeshi.

"Huh, not so. My best friend doesn't want to use a service like I've known Irene, but she wants to redeem Arrabella" said Katsuro, who was anxious to see Takeshi's doubts.

Irene smiled happily, "Oh, that's fine, sir. All right, the redemption fee is 500,000 guilders."

"Geez, why is it so expensive, Irene? I hear usually the redemption price of ianjo girls ranges from 250,000 to 300,000 guilders only," Katsuro protested.

Aya was wide-eyed at the value proposed by Irene. 'Why did my mother Irene raise the price as she pleased so?' inner Aya who agreed with Katsuro's statement.

"Ehm, you need to know, Arrabella hasn't worked here for 2 months and is a potential girl. Mr. Katsuro must have experienced how special my girl's ministry is, the number 500,000 guilders is actually not comparable to my loss of the ianjo prima donna girl. If you want 300,000 guilders, just bring another girl," Irene bargained.

"No, I'll just take Arrabella and pay 500,000 guilders" said Takeshi, who was fed Irene. All Takeshi needs is a woman named Arrabella, where might Takeshi choose another girl who does not necessarily match Himawari?

Takeshi took the money out of the bag and counted for a while.

"Right now I only brought 200,000 guilders," Takeshi put the money on the table and pushed towards Irene.

"Well, I assume this is a down payment, you can bring Arrabella if you have paid the rest" Irene said, taking the money.

"Can't Arrabella be taken tonight? Believe me, tomorrow Takeshi will pay the rest" Katsuro argued.

"A'aa," Irene shook her index finger. "Sorry sir, the rules are. After all, I heard that this Takeshi master did not stay here and spent more time on the ship, it is possible that Arrabella was immediately taken sailing tonight."

"You don't believe us?" ask Katsuro.

"Sorry sir, not in disbelief. After all, even if you can pay off tonight, Arrabella can only bring you tomorrow, because my girl needs to prepare the needs she brings and say goodbye to her friends," Irene reasoned.

Initially Takeshi intends to return to Tangsi to take the rest of the money so that he can bring Arrabella that night, but hearing Irene's words, Takeshi undoes his plan.

"Yes, tomorrow morning," Takeshi broke up.

***

Aya shook her head.

"Or .. he tasted you when you were in Mr Katsuro's hands?" ask Irene who is in maximum kepo mode.

Again Aya shook her head. Irene's question was not strange because the guests who brought the ianjo girl out sometimes liked to share the girl with her friends, like Isao at that time.

"I only serve Mr. Katsuro, Mr. Takeshi just came this afternoon with his young son. Then when we had dinner, they said they would redeem me" Aya replied as she was.

"Oh. Uh, you know what? Mr. Takeshi is famous for his clean predicate, he has never been to the ianjo or played women. He's a good, loyal man, and I just noticed his rigid movements, it seems that he's not comfortable here. I heard he was just a widower, of course his heart still lost and it made him change principle so it needs you to comfort him."

Aya noticed Irene who was talking, "Perhaps because Mr. Takeshi needs a nanny for his son."

"Ah, a nanny for her perhaps, hihi. If he's looking for a nanny for his son, why pay for the most expensive girl in the ianjo? Out there, there are many women who have experience parenting. Hah, even though it looks cold, I feel that Mr. Takeshi is interested in you."

"Mami mean?"

"Let's leave you a little charm, Mr. Takeshi must be in love with you."

"Ah, this mami ..."

"Seriously, when he never played women but then suddenly wanted to have you, why? Hey Arrabella, you should be able to get Mr. Takeshi to marry you. If you are already with her, you do not need a pregnancy-preventing injection. Just let the seeds grow in your womb so that she gets stickier with you later on" Irene suggested, which sounded odd to Aya.

"Say mom can't get pregnant"

Irene quickly cuts,"Ah, if that man is Mr. Takeshi you can get pregnant. Look at him well and rich, don't even mind the price I deliberately raise, you have nothing to lose if you become his wife, even your degree was lifted and highly respected because Mr. Takeshi was the supreme commander of the Navy," Irene once again strengthened her opinion.

***

Takeshi had already returned to his opponent who was near the pier. Slowly he laid Himawari on the bed and gave him a kiss good night. While staring at his daughter's deep face, Takeshi rethought his decision to make Arrabella, an ianfu jugun as a nanny.

"Ah, I have to discuss this with Ryujo. Let's just hope he hasn't slept yet" Takeshi murmured as he stepped his foot out of the room.

Takeshi's goal was to hear Ryujo and his wife talking in the living room with the front door slightly open.

"Ah, thank goodness they haven't slept," Takeshi's inner.

Hc .. tok.

Takeshi knocked on the door as a formality.

"Good night, can I bother you?" takeshi asked politely to his adjutant.

"Good night, sir. No, no bothering at all, it just so happens that there's something we want to talk about as well" Ryujo greeted Takeshi as he walked in.

"Hm, I have something to talk about, too, but please come first."

Ryujo looks at Monic with his hands together.

"alright. Em, but I'm sorry if we were presumptuous, sir. We have seen the movement of the master is a little limited since Himawari with the master .. We think, you need a nanny for Himawari, sorry," Ryujo said carefully.
