"What's your reason for saying that I made a mistake?" asked Katsuki. He was still holding back his anger, he also hid his deformed hand behind his body.
"You made a lot of mistakes, and I can't pay your wages for those mistakes. And you should pay compensation, but because I'm still kind then I will let you go," replied the shop owner.
"You think I'm stupid?" asked Katsuki. "What mistake do you mean, hm? I didn't even break a plate or glass here. I always come on time even late into the night without a bonus for my work. Then you want to deceive me with ridiculous excuses that you can't even make out." prove it?"
"You'd better get out of here quickly." The man pushed Katsuki away, his lips pursed and his face scrunched up. His voice had started to rise and sounded ominous. "I'm still kind enough to let someone like you go after being so rude to me. You insist on demanding payment for your unsatisfactory work?
The man immediately grabbed Katsuki's neck with one hand. He has extraordinary speed, Katsuki's curiosity has finally been answered.
Katsuki had been feeling the aura of magical energy from the man's body, but the man was good at hiding that aura and hiding it. Often it is faintly felt because it is mixed by the aura of the visitors to the cake shop.
"You see this?"
Katsuki could feel the sharp nails like arrows starting to pierce the skin of his neck. Fresh blood dripped and seeped out, but Katsuki didn't flinch. He wasn't afraid.
"Apparently you've been doing this all this time huh?" Katsuki asked, he laughed in a disdainful tone to the man. "When they asked you for wages, you immediately threatened and attacked them? No wonder you're the only one who doesn't have employees in the middle of a big city where people are scrambling to find work. Apparently you always kill those who work for you, don't you?"
"Because you talk too much you can die. Think more before using that damn mouth of yours," replied the man. He strengthened his grip on Katsuki's neck.
The fight was going on, Katsuki had been fighting too much lately. However he does not get good physical support due to the many activities and lack of rest he gets.
Katsuki and that guy were pretty even. Katsuki does have a good attack with a fairly agile fighting style. But he weakened because of his unwell condition.

"You've weakened, it's pathetic. Whereas before you were so excited and strong. Hm, you should eat more and sleep more. Come with me. But before that you can take the money that is in the stupid man's cupboard," said Melia .
Looks very simple. Just like a short fight and then finished with a sharp spike of nails by Melia. But actually if you look directly at it, the entire settlement around it has fallen apart due to their fight.
Sooner or later they will be chased by security guards. They had to quickly get out of there to avoid new problems.
"You villain," Katsuki sneered. But in the end he took the money and put it in a bag.

"It's too little money. I think we could get tens of thousands of dollars from that damn man," said Melia. She spat and just looked away.
"Us? tch, here's my money." Katsuki immediately covered the bag with his body.
"You think I'm serious? Gosh, you look so hungry and exhausted that you can't tell which ones are joking and which are serious. Take that one, you look pathetic."
Katsuki looked at the money in his arms, he already looked like an idiot. He was not much different from a dog who was deprived of food. It's so sad, he can't deny Melia's words just now.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm pathetic," said Katsuki. He stared intently at the bag containing the money he was holding. "I'm naive, when in reality I still need money for food and shelter. I don't have anyone here, I don't know anyone. I don't have anyone to turn to for help, maybe there is but now I can't contact."
Melia began to feel a feeling of doubt in Katsuki's words. Melia could tell and guess what was shaking Katsuki's psyche.
Katsuki is unstable again, like a human teenager who enters the early stages of puberty and has conflicts with things around him.
What they have in common is emotional stability and psychological shock. Feeling depressed and having no solutions in life makes them start to brush off their ideals and think about allowing new ways in their lives to survive.
And this is what Melia has been waiting for until now from Katsuki.
"Can you still help me?"
Melia's smile widened, she apparently didn't need to bother persuading Katsuki. Katsuki who was already depressed because of the circumstances finally started to venture to work in the scope of a gigolo.
"I told you before, you already know what kind of job you'll be doing when you're with me?" asked Melia. "Don't let you and I fight again because you pretend you don't know what job you're going to get from me."
Katsuki was still hesitating, but he who had been driven by impatience and the pressure of his financial situation finally had to say yes and nodded.
"That's good then. You can rest first. I'll find the first customer who wants to hire you. Hm, for a pretty face and smooth body I'm sure there will be someone who will be interested in you in the near future. Sorry, but no words. offended when you agreed to work as---"
"Yes I know."
Katsuki's tone was trembling, his voice was a little hoarse. It seems that Katsuki still finds it hard to accept this, but back to the initial facts that made him want to accept the job.
"I know you are a difficult person, this income I will share 70 percent for you and 30 percent for me. Maybe it won't equal the feelings you feel, but at least that's all I can do for you."
"Don't worry. I understand and am ready for all that."
Then they went to the Nevada, precisely in the area where Melia lives.
Yes, Melia's apartment is there. And Melia every day commutes from Nevada to Manhattan only to meet Katsuki who still chooses to stay and look for work there.
Luckily Melia is also a Werewolf, without difficulty she can do that every day. Even if it's a bit of a hassle for her.
Melia, who does have a lot of acquaintances with male bar patrons, of course, doesn't take long to introduce Katsuki to them. They were immediately attracted and offered a high price to be able to spend the night with Katsuki.
At first Katsuki felt insulted, the naughty touch and the perverted deeds they did made it difficult for Katsuki to eat and smile for almost a month. Katsuki continued to be gloomy and tried to calm himself down.
But slowly, because Melia continues to be entertained and gets ease in financial matters, Katsuki finally becomes a more open and relaxed person in carrying out his work.
Sounds contemptible, but you won't blame Katsuki if you know how sick and tired Katsuki's struggle is to live all this time.
And that's how Katsuki met Melia until they worked together until now.
