"I thought you offer normal services," you said, "but it seems that I was wrong. Who you can adjust for me?"

"That depends on who you want, and whether you want to put in some efforts. Yes, we offer clients the normal service providers and the normal services." Inoue said, "But we also provide matchmaking services."

"You're talking about Omiai?" you said, thinking about the traditional matchmaking custom where a woman and a man are introduced to each other to consider the possibility of marriage. "It made sense for a temple worshipping Inari to host the matchmaking for marriage."

"As well for people to meet and have sex, without the marriage."

"I don't suppose they register at the counter or anything?"

"No. But we observe people that come here to pray and investigate accordingly. Then, we created a profile for each one of them and then match them with our customers. While we have few misses, I'm proud to say the success rate is around 75 percent. For the misses, we refund the money, but for the rest, we offer follow-up services,"

"Such as?"

"Help book accommodation at hot spring resorts or beach side hotel, track the spouse movement so that the rendezvous wouldn't be found out or legal advise in case divorce is in the card. But we also do simple ones such as preparing a flower bouquet for dates or anniversary as well as come up with the script to beg for forgiveness after a major screw up."

"That is impressive."

"Isn't it?" Inoue reached for a tablet on the table and browsed through it. "Minami had put in a request for me to help you. As a free service from me, let me give you some information on prospective women we can help to match with you. We'll start with five. First is your beautiful homeroom teacher, who is the object of desire of many people and even subject of masturbation of many people, including your friend Kenji,"

"Kenji masturbates to her? How do you know about that?"

"He and a few others had prayed, hoping to get lucky with her. Unfortunately, the amount each had given was too small or we would have assisted, but I digress. She is looking for a husband and according to the profile that we have, you match her preference in some aspects, such as economy, personality and look, but losing a bit on age factor, but that can easily be remedied. If you want, we can help for her to notice you as a prospective partner but be advised that she wants a husband, not simply a sex partner."

"Okay, that is interesting to know. Anyone else?"

"The second target is your principal, or more accurately, his wife. Your principal is an active solicitor of other establishments, which offer cheaper rates at the expense of simply carnal experiences. His poor taste aside, the fact is he is not fulfilling his wife's physical and emotional needs. She is very frustrated with her situation but doesn't know what to do, being innocent in the ways of the world. We can help arrange for you to have sessions with her while reducing the risk of her developing unneeded attachments for you."

"How about her husband finding out?"

"We can help prevent that, a well-known and respected man like him philandering hasn't the moral ground to complain about his wife straying off as well. She's still in early thirties, after all."

"But he's already in his fifties! How could that be?"

"It's a case of a student mad in love marrying her teacher. And then found that he's only in for sex, and once he gets bored, he searches for other people. Speaking about other people, the third target is the yakult lady in your former neighborhood."

Your mind went to the slightly rotund woman that went around the neighborhood selling fermented milk in small bottles. "Wait, she is a target too?"

Inoue grinned. "Oh, how wrong of you think people like her have no urges and desire. In fact, if you want to have casual sex without baggage, I would recommend her. She doesn't have that traditional view, so if an accident happens, she's less likely to chase after you. Also, as you can guess, she's quite familiar with place and seems to know what's going there but can keep her mouth shut."

"How about the fourth one?"

"You know about the Delinquent Queen?"

You nod, recalling the girl at the next school who dyed her hair blonde and became the leader of the school's girl delinquent group.

"She wants to lose her virginity and become a 'real woman', but she is shy about it."

You've never pegged her as a shy girl. "So, the last one?"

"Megumi Mishima,"

The second queen. Figures. Blessed with an almost flawless figure, and being a daughter of a billionaire, Megumi is wildly popular at the college nearby. Males students try to gain her favor by gifting her jewelry, flowers and other things while the girls try to join her 'clique'.

"So, what about her? She has everything, doesn't she?"

"Ah, here's where you're wrong. No one has everything, especially Megumi. She's at the top, isn't she? And you know about the saying about the people at the top?"

"They get lonely."

"Megumi displays loneliness and yearns a companionship of someone who isn't only attracted to her because of her money and looks."

"Okay... You seemed to know a lot. And you know so much about them. I'm wondering if say, I sleep with one of them, you will use that info against me?"

Inoue's smile faltered. "Please don't insinuate that. Despite what you think, we respect our boundaries. That's why we're still around."
