Chapter 0082: New Recruit

“Fine… I think you’re cute enough to be my submissive. I’ll accept you.” Kazuya reluctantly accepted Mini’s offer to start a dominant-submissive relationship.

“Goddamnit, you pervert! That’s not the kind of master I’m talking about! You’re good enough to be my teacher. I’m not interested in you. Especially with the annoying voices that I have to endure every once in a while. Can’t you fuck your neighbor a little less roughly? Her screams literally reverberate throughout my room.” At this point, she completely lashed out at him.

“Geez… Fine no need to get your panties in a twist.” Kazuya tried to calm her down.

‘It’s so much fun to rile her up…’ Kazuya was having quite a bit of fun.

Mini’s eyes twitched a little at this shameless display.

“I don’t even remember why I pulled you into my room anymore…”

“Probably to make a move on me.”

“I understand that you want to get into my pants master but I’m not interested.” She finally seemed to have calmed down and countered with a jab at him.

“I prefer my girlfriend.”

“Right! I wanted to know why your neighbor has been crying so much. Are you torturing her or something? Why is it that instead of hearing her sexy moans, I’m hearing sobs from your room?”

“It could’ve been me crying,” Kazuya said.

Mini was speechless at how easily he said that.

“Tell me!”

“She’s going through some personal losses, that’s it. Stop butting your nose in our business.”

“But it seems interesting! I wanna know.” She forgot about the concept of personal space again and got close to Kazuya’s face.

“Get your own life. Don’t meddle in mine.”

“I do have a life. I’m a streamer! I stream in different cosplay outfits… That’s why I have so much stuff all around my apartment. And hence the handcuffs. They were for the sexy police role. Not whatever your perverted brain was thinking.”

“You were the one with the sex cuffs, not me.”

“Forget about that. Tell me!”

“You’re really not going to let this go, are you?”

“Nope!”

“It’s not much. Chizuru just has a dream that she wants to fulfill and the deadline for that dream just got pushed to a few months instead of a couple of years. It means a lot to her and she might not be able to fulfill her dream. That’s where I come in. I’m helping her out.”

Mini kept looking at him with expectant eyes. Kazuya’s eyes couldn’t help but go to her very visible cleavage as she was sitting in a slightly compromising position in front of him without even realizing it. She was still wearing her sexy police outfit and that didn’t help things either.

‘Does this girl not realize that I’m a guy and I might just get the wrong idea if she acts so suggestive with me…’ Kazuya put those thoughts of common sense at the back of his head.

“Tell me what her dream is...” Seeing Kazuya zone out, Mini asked him again.

“She wants to be an actress and star in a movie. She’s been under quite a bit of stress lately… Hence, the crying.”

“Really! A movie? I think I can help. I’m a streamer, I can help you guys with the marketing. I’m very talented, trust me. I could even manage the camera crew for you. I know quite a bit.” She patted her chest.

“Yes, because working with a stationary camera is so much work…” Kazuya said sardonically.

“It is! I have to work with quite a few other things too…” Mini spent some time explaining her abilities to him.

Kazuya realized that what she was saying had some merit to it.

“A streamer, huh…” Kazuya was already thinking about how he can put her to use.

“Yep! So just involve me in your little project too, please!”

Mini used the move ‘puppy eyes’.

It was effective on Kazuya.

“Yeah. Let me talk to Chizuru about bringing you on board for the movie.” Kazuya talked to Mini for quite a while about the technical stuff and realized that she was very talented when it came to things like lighting, camerawork, etc.

Kazuya might not be experienced with this stuff himself but he had enough knowledge crammed into his head about this that he knows virtually everything that is there to know about the entertainment industry.

Mini didn’t go to film school and didn’t have any formal qualifications relating to camerawork but instead, she was very experienced with small things such as lighting, camera angles, etc.

She didn’t know the technical terms for a lot of things but she had a thorough understanding of the concepts since she’d learned these things on the job.

‘I could have her manage the camera crew for me… I wouldn’t have enough time to always deal with these things myself since I’ll be busy directing and all… Might as well delegate the work.’ Kazuya had already planned to being Mini into the project.

“I suggest that you wear some less revealing and erotic clothes when we meet the next time, otherwise I might end up making a move on you anyway. Consequences be dammed.” Kazuya warned her in good nature.

“Come on… You wouldn’t force yourself on a poor, innocent, and defenseless girl like me.” She tried to tease him.

“You have no idea what I would do when a cute girl wears revealing clothes and thrusts her chest in my face while wearing revealing sexy cosplay outfits.”

“Yeah… right…” She looked to the side and pretended to not take him seriously.

After that Kazuya went back to his place and waited for Chizuru to come back from the hospital.

…

“I’m home.” She unlocked the door to Kazuya’s apartment. He was in the kitchen, making lunch for the both of them.

“How was the talk with your grandma?” Kazuya asked from the kitchen.

“It went fine.” She went to the kitchen and hugged Kazuya from the back, smelling his scent.

“Did she agree?”

“Yeah. She’s fine with us writing her story for the movie. But are you sure that we can get a script for that done in time?” She was concerned that the script might take quite a bit of time.

“Don’t worry about the script. Leave that to me. I’ll go meet her tomorrow and get some of her history and interesting stories. I’ll have the script complete within the month.”

“Really? Just a month?”

“Yeah. And you don’t have to worry about the quality either. It’s going to be perfect.”

“Mhm.” She buried her face in his neck, tightly hugging him from behind.

“I found someone who might be very useful for managing the shooting part of the movie.”

“Really? Who is it?”

“Surprisingly… my other neighbor. I ran into her today and found out that she’s a streamer. She’d be very good at managing the camera crew since she has quite a bit of talent in this domain. I didn’t give her an answer yet since I wanted to talk to you about this first.”

“You don’t need to ask me about whom to bring on board and who not to. You’re the producer-director of the movie. You don’t need to ask me before bringing a new person on.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. You’re not just an actress in the movie. This is your movie, everything is for you. I’m not going to sugarcoat things and say that I’m making a movie and want to cast you as the lead. I’m making a movie because it’s yours. Your role is just as important as mine.”

“…I understand. Can I meet her?”

“Yeah, let’s eat lunch first, then I’ll text her to come here.”

…

“So… You’re the reason that I can’t sleep at night.” Mini looked at Chizuru with a look of scrutiny.

“W-What?”

“Yeah… Every once in a while I have this repeated dream… more like a nightmare… In the dead of the night, I hear screams. Loud, terrified screams, make it seem as if someone’s being tortured and begging their captor to slow down, to go lightly but their captor doesn’t listen and keeps going even harder. I walk to the source of those screams and I find a door. I turn the knob and open that door. And the moment I swing that door open… I wake up!” Mini finally finishes her overdramatic narration.

“And the point of that?” Kazuya asked with a flat expression on his face

“The point is that the moment I wake up, those screams don’t go away. I still have to listen to those screams, it’s just that they don’t seem like screams of someone who’s being tortured with pain, and instead, someone tortured by pleasure.” Mini’s expression was scary.

The instant Chizuru realized what she was talking about, she couldn’t help but want to hide in a corner and could only do the next best thing. She hid behind her boyfriend with an embarrassed expression.

“You don’t need to hide behind him… I’ve been curious about who it is that has occupied my nights.”

“Stop with the double meanings in your words. Let’s get to the main topic.”

“Mou… Master’s no fun.” Mini pouted.

“Wait up! What’s this master deal?” Chizuru whispered in Kazuya’s ear.

“Get your head out of the gutter. She sees me as a teacher figure and admires my way of life. I just met her today.” Kazuya reprimanded Chizuru righteously as if he hadn’t done exactly that when Mini called him master first.

“Is that so?” Chizuru looked between Mini and Kazuya, “Whatever…”

Kazuya decided to finally move to the main reason that he called Mini here.

“Mini, this is Chizuru Ichinose, my girlfriend and the main lead of the movie that you’ll be shooting. Chizuru, this is Mini Yaemori, our neighbor and the girl who will be managing the camera crew.”

Chizuru was able to get over her embarrassment and was able to calmly greet Mini.

“Hi, Mini-san…” She waved a little.

“Hi, miss girl of my dreams…” Mini wasn’t done teasing Chizuru.

“Mini…” Kazuya’s tone was threatening.

“I’m sorry, master.” She instantly apologized since she remembered what happened the last time she messed with Kazuya too much.

‘I don’t want to be tied to the radiator again… Maybe he will get creative…’ Mini wasn’t sure if she wanted to be punished or not.

Kazuya then introduced Mini’s skills and everything for the next hour and they finalized Mini coming on board for the project.

Mini would be managing the camera crew and the marketing of the movie, and Kazuya would be directing and producing the movie.

’Now it’s time to find some camera crew… Although I said Mini would be working with them, I need to find one that would be willing to do this work.’
