Chapter 146: Cooperation Partner

With Eto's strength, making revisions to an already completed work was not any difficult matter.

Moreover, Jotaro had brought her endless creative inspiration.

She now wished a day had forty-eight hours to write.

She swore that she must make this work into an epic.

"Jotaro…"

She put down her pen and looked at the ceiling, her expression dazed, autumn-water-like eyes brimming with springtime emotions.

Writing a character she liked was truly difficult.

Not only did she have to find ways to make him flawless, but also… had to suppress the impulse of arousal.

In the story she was writing, the protagonist defeated the king on the throne and fell in love with him.

The two poured out their hearts one night and expressed their feelings.

As she wrote, Eto's face blushed like the evening glow on the horizon.

What followed was rubbing ears and whispering sweet nothings.

Thinking of the other's firm and powerful arms, her heart thumped wildly.

Going further… her jade-like clean and pure thighs suddenly clamped tightly together.

Within the small room came dull breathing sounds.

Eto panted as she finished describing the most intense part.

Originally it should have ended here, but she still didn't want to leave the other party too soon, so she added more tender and lingering scenes.

"Hoo~"

Putting down her pen, Eto was already drenched in fragrant sweat, as if she had personally experienced everything.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Heavy knocking came from the door, and Eto was suddenly startled.

Her aftertaste interrupted by someone, she furrowed her brows and said loudly, a little dissatisfied, "Who is it!"

Irimi's voice was just as loud. "It's me!"

Eto flung open the door and looked at the tall woman in front of her. Sometimes, she truly had the urge to kill this person.

Irimi glanced at Eto's face, overflowing with spring lust, and sniffed, smelling a seductive stench like a vixen.

The scent of hormones smelled extremely uncomfortable to another woman.

She asked suspiciously, "What exactly were you doing in the room?"

Eto felt a bit guilty and angrily said, "None of your business. What did you come looking for me for?"

Irimi snorted coldly and couldn't be bothered to ask again, she could guess.

"Now that we're all in the same boat, stop hiding things. Hand over all the remaining funds of Aogiri Tree to us." She spoke bluntly.

"All sorts of research projects in the organization, plus recruiting people from outside, all require a lot of money. We're already stretched thin."

Understanding the reason for the visit, Eto angrily said, "I've already given you all the money."

She could even give herself to Jotaro, how could she possibly hide money?

Irimi looked at her. Seeing she didn't look like she was lying, she said with disdain, "As a leader of an organization, to only have that little bit of money, you really are a failure."

Eto was so angry her shoulders started trembling, but she had no way to refute it.

All along, the funds that kept Aogiri Tree running were earned by her writing books.

Just look at the harsh living conditions in the 24th Ward, and you'd know, they had always lived quite bitterly.

To expand the organization, she didn't dare spend even a cent recklessly.

But she really didn't have the talent for making money. This time she was originally supposed to make a big profit from the Tsukiyama family, but because of Jotaro's appearance…

She awkwardly stopped thinking, but there wasn't the slightest blame for Jotaro.

Irimi lifted her face and coldly looked at her, speaking facts.

"Now that the 24th Ward and Aogiri Tree have merged, the number of people has greatly increased. The expenses are much larger than before."

"Relying on your meager funds alone, the organization would've collapsed already."

"The reason we're still running is because our leader put in money."

"I originally thought he was just an ordinary investigator, didn't expect he even had so many assets."

When Jotaro revealed that he secretly controlled several big companies, Irimi had been shocked.

No wonder he had the guts to go against the Washuu clan, so he had been setting things up from the very beginning.

Even before knowing that the Washuu clan held the economic lifeline of Japan, Jotaro had already been active in the business world, mainly to investigate the true mastermind behind the scenes.

Swallowing up those companies was purely for convenience of action.

The shareholder of Seisei High School wasn't him, but the shareholder worked under him.

Eto blinked. She didn't expect Jotaro to be so rich.

If only she had met him when she was fourteen, how many troubles that would've avoided.

But when she was fourteen, Jotaro was only six, he hadn't yet grown to such a height.

"He's so rich, why is he still short of money?" Eto asked with some confusion.

Irimi sighed, "He really is rich, but still not enough to rival the Washuu clan."

Jotaro was investing in scientific research beneficial to human and ghoul coexistence, and also had to defeat companies controlled by the Washuu clan, the funds required were astronomical.

Just the former alone was a bottomless pit in terms of cost, not to mention the latter.

"Relying on him alone is too hard, we need to find partners who can cooperate."

Simply put, it meant finding sponsors.

Irimi looked at Eto and mercilessly struck her down,

"What we need is not ghouls like you guys, but rich ghouls."

When there's no battle going on, ghouls from the 24th Ward were basically freeloaders, completely useless.

Only spending money, no return.

Irimi came to Eto to ask for money not to support Jotaro, but to manage the spending of these ghouls.

"Rich ghouls?" Eto pondered for a while.

"I do know a few."

"But to get them to cooperate with you guys, won't be easy."

She then thought of Tsukiyama Mirumo, that rich head of the Tsukiyama family.

The Tsukiyama family could be considered a ghoul family with deep heritage. Besides Japan, they had branches in several other countries.

This family's power was quite considerable. If they were willing to help, Jotaro's operations would surely face much less resistance.

However, Jotaro had a grudge with their family, after all, he had sent Mirumo's son to Cochlea. It would be lucky if the other party didn't seek revenge, let alone support him?

Eto shook her head, feeling that the possibility of cooperating with them was very small.

A flash of fierceness crossed her eyes, since Jotaro needed money, then even if they had to rob, she would get it for him.

Disagree? Then wipe out the entire Tsukiyama family!

Who said they were freeloaders? When it came to killing people, they were absolutely ruthless.

The power of the Tsukiyama family was absolutely no match for Aogiri Tree.

Eto and Irimi went together to inform Jotaro about this potential ally.

Jotaro had already forgotten the incident with the gourmet, and didn't care much about the surname Tsukiyama, but since the other party had considerable power among the upper levels of Japan, he really could make use of it.

"Then go talk to them."

Eto nodded. If the other party was sensible and agreed to cooperate, that would be best. But if they refused, then she would go on a killing spree.

"I know where they live."
