----------------------------------------
The sex industry laws are getting more strict so the rep encouraged everybody to work hard as independent businessmen. Something which caused Tatsuhiko to be taken aback by how uncharacteristically not-shady this has all been. With the climate of the situation set up, we got a chance to see a more ominous moment with Saotome and Kinji, all cannot be what it seems.

We then clashed between Tatsuhiko's fantasy, reminding me of the very first chapter's fantasy, and reality. A fivesome isn't the optimal method for this job, the bee's knees is a whale, which I can only imagine should be the opposite of what he wants. Disillusionment may be on its way.

Finally however, the best part of the chapter was when Tatsuhiko went out to scout some girls. I miss Burst, although they are not perfect, it feels like Tatsuhiko has left a family behind and only now did he finally properly sit with that realization. This isn't just some fun game anymore, Burst follows him everywhere he goes; in his name "Tachuhiko" or in his scouting methods, however he isn't a scout. The streets where he's grown to know are cut off from him, it is no longer his territory! He would make an enemy of Burst. He isn't one of them anymore.

It's a moment which made me think back to chapter 2, back when Mako intimidated a girl into working at a brothel and Tatsuhiko signed off on it. While sitting in the back room with the manager and the scared girl, he looked through the glass at all the girls working. It was a literal barrier, showing him which side he was on. Although the context is very different, I couldn't help but get emotional alongside him. It was a moment we really needed!

Shoutout to Ara! I didn't know if we'd ever see him again.
