"Yes, the way you delivered the lecture..." "Tell me what you learned." "See?" "People say that this is an elite university." "But the students only understand half of what I say." "Lectures are just words, after all." "Real words have substance, each one of them." "They have body." "Put out your tongue." "Don't be shy." "This is a tongue." "It's wet with your saliva." "See, it's sticky." "A tongue." "Saliva." "Sticky." "See?" "Every word has flesh." "Like those breasts of yours." "Your thighs." "Every word has a meaning." "Do you know what I mean?"

"Accept him, Izumi!" "Here." "This is not enough." "You had the two of us." " You fucked her too." " Give us a discount." "Bullshit!" "You're cheap for a company executive!"

"Nothing's free." "They had a good time." "It doesn't matter how much they pay." "It's the vain delusion of a rotten whore to measure her value in terms of what a man pays her." "When you fuck a man you don't love," " it has to be for money." " Yes." "The 5000 yen became symbolic for me." "With a little courage I could throw myself at him, as he walked in the door:" " Hi, honey." " I'm home." "Izumi, you look pale." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." " Are you sure?" " I feel fine." "I love you." "I was unable to respond" "Something has changed." "and I feel it." "Words are invalid, meaningless." "I was just desperate." "I had an insatiable craving for my husband" "But once again, I didn't do it tonight." "We slept peacefully together as usual" " Off I go." " Have a nice day." "In the morning;" "I saw him off" "As usual I hoped to send him off with a deep kiss." " Off I go." " Have a nice day." " Off I go." " Have a nice day." "But it was all in my head" "Hi, there!" "Have some delicious sausages!" "Try some!" "I have delicious sausages!" "Hi." " How's it going?" " I'm fine." "You know..." " I want to eat later." " Really?" "For how much?" "I'm not talking about the sausages." "I know that." "Nothing's for free." "You have to pay me." " What do you mean?" " You have to buy me." "You're weird." "Try some big sausages!" "Hello. it's me." "Can we talk no W?" " Can you do a job for us?" " Yes!" " Thank you for today!" " Likewise..." " Hey." " What a day!" "You were amazing back there." "If you have some spare time, why don't we go to a hotel like before..." " For how much?" " What?" "How much will you pay me?" "But this isn't that kind of a deal..." "What is it then?" "I just did it for money." "So if I do it again, I'll have to be paid." "Why should I pay you?" "You should pay me for my body!" "Oh, I see." "You came after me to offer yourself for free?" "That's right!" "If I were a man, I'd pay a desirable woman for sex." "See you!" "Just like Mitsuko said." "When you have sex for money, everything suddenly comes into focus." " Waiting for somebody?" " No." " Come with me then." " For sex?" "You want sex?" "OK, let's go." "You waste no time!" "Let's go then." " How much you got?" " Money?" "You're a hooker!" "That's lame." "Men come to me for sex." "Strangely enough, men value women who fuck for free." "They look down on women who ask for money" " Are you a hooker?" " Yes!" " You're hyper." " Yes!" " How much?" " You name the price." "I'll be yours." " How about 10,000 yen?" " Certainly." "Lucky me!" "This is the last entry of m y journal" "It 3 now complete." "I've been set free." " How have you been?" " I knew you'd come." "You look good." "Things must be going well." "Thanks." "Walk with me." "I texted somebody just a while ago." "It's somebody you met once." "Who is it?" "You'll see." "It's been a while." "I work for him every Monday, Thursday and Friday." "And I thought you should work for him too." "If you agreed to work for me, I'd be so happy." "Come to my place for tea." "Come in." "I'm home!" "Hello, dear." "That's my mother." "I'm not dressed appropriately..." "Never mind that." "Mother knows all about me." "How's the sex trade going?" " It's rather good, thank you." " I see." "Now that this young lady's agreed to work for us, I'm very happy." "Oh, is that right?" "Have you worked as a prostitute before?" " Pardon me?" " She has a lot to learn." "Oh." "You're still well-mannered and refined, but you'll lose that and become shameless." "My daughter here was born indecent." "She's just like her sleazy father." "She's right." "Father and I were alike." "My side of the family is well-bred and cultured." "I never should have married her sleazy father." "I was young and naive." "Of course, my parents objected." "They insisted that her father wasn't in our class." "I rebelled, but later I learned they were right." "We married after my family adopted him." "But he never quite adapted to my family's ways." "He and Mitsuko found solace in each other." "This girl's imperfections were inherent." "She picked them up from her father." "They are both sleazy fools." "His abominable character runs in her blood." "Fortunately, the man died 10 years ago." "She was so sad when he died." "She cried and cried." "She's pulled herself together now." "Since she became a prostitute." "She's a degenerate." "Now that she's depraved, she can relax." "You'd better watch out." "You're not a degenerate yet." "You must have been so confused to associate with this filthy creature." "I hope you realize this soon." "Hurry up and die, you old hag." "Why don't you die instead, dear?" "Maybe I can kill you both!" "Just kidding. isn't this funny?" "They're hilarious." "Kill us both if you will." "Do us a favor and stop our cursed lineage with her." "Then this family will be spared from further disgrace." "Enchantress Club" "Enchantress Club!" "Hello, sir!" "You enjoyed our girl?" "It's an honor to have served you!" "Come in." " Good evening." " Hello, I'm Okubo." "She's Yoko." "Is that OK?" "Yoko, is it?" "I see." "The work's easy." "You wait for a call." "A patron will call and give his preferences." "Slim, plump, whatever he's into." "Then I'll pick the appropriate girl." "I'll call out and you'll say..." "Here!" "That's all." "Then you go to the address." "You're paid up front." "If the patron says "Change," you're not his type." "Come right back here." "No scenes." "We have a reputation." " Well, one of us does." " Yeah, one of us does." "If he likes you, get the cash and it's business." "When you're done, come back." "I'll take 20% of your takings." "Easy, right?" "Hello, Enchantress Club." " I'm home!" " Hey." " I have to go, it's late." " Okay." " She's Yoko, a new girl." " Welcome aboard." "You can have this." "It doesn't suit me." "It's good on you." "And the sunglasses you left at the hotel the other day." "Sit down." "Mitsuko, what should I do?" "Just relax." " We're leaving now." " See you." "Don't worry." "You'll be popular for sure." "Yoko." "Such a nice name." "Enchantress Club." "Oh, yes, sir!" " Mitsuko, you're up." " Bye." "She'll be there in 5 minutes." " See you later!" " Bye." "There goes the weirdo!" "It's a new patron." "So I sent Mitsuko to trick him." "He'll want another girl so I'd like you to go." "What?" "We send low-grade girls to new clients." "Then he'll go for the VIP Course." "The VIP Course!" "He'll have to pay 30,000 yen more, but he's convinced that it's a better deal." "A sure deal." "That's what I keep Mitsuko for." "She's strange." "She'll start eating on the bed!" "Men like pretty, normal girls like you." " You're smart." " That's right!" "Get ready, Yoko." "You'll look good in red." "Yes, red it is!" "Just like I told you." "Ding-dong." "Sex!" "Let's do it." "Why are you here?" "You're my regular at the rundown apartment!" "I want you changed." "I said change!" "Just like I told you." "See?" "Everything is right here." "This is it!" "Enchantress Club!" "Yes?" "You asked for a slim beauty, didn't you?" "Oh, so she's not your type?" "How about one of our VIP girls?" " Satisfaction guaranteed..." " Let's go." "Guaranteed by the Enchantress Club." "Go home." " Let's have sex!" " Stop it!" "You know I'm really good." "You know I am!" "I'm good!" "I'm from Enchantress Club." "Sorry about the inconvenience." "Mitsuko, get up."

"I finally realized when I started this job." "That I had to find..." "and reach the Castle." "But..." "I know I can 'Z' get to it." "But I also can 'Z' Ignore it." "The Castle has a hold of me." "And it'll never let me go, and that's why I can never stop looking for the Castle's entrance." "Until I die." "Until somebody ends my life for me." "I can never stop." "When you die, will you find the Castle?" "I don't know..." "But it's got to be better..." "You're a pitiful woman." "I'm not the only pathetic one!" "Me?" "I'm not pathetic." "I want to kill you."
