Yakuza Showed Up After I Canceled a Delivery Health Service in Kumamoto
This is a horror story from when I went to Kumamoto as a tour conductor.
It was November, when the autumn leaves are beautiful, and I was visiting Kumamoto.
Especially, the autumn leaves at Kumamoto Castle were magnificent, and the ginkgo trees in front of the main keep and near the second enclosure were also starting to turn yellow, making it a perfect time to visit.
In addition, I introduced the charms of Kumamoto to the customers, and at night, I enjoyed delicious horse sashimi with my colleagues at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar).
The carefully selected local ingredients were the best! As a tour conductor, it's always a pleasure to accompany people on such journeys.
Let's Call a Delivery Health Service!
After that, I went to a cabaret club and a girls' bar, and returned to the hotel in a drunken state around 11 pm. I thought about sleeping early because I had to get up early the next day, but it seemed that I could call a delivery health service to the hotel, according to what I found on the internet.
(Oh, this is a chance to play with a girl from Kumamoto! Okay, let's give it a try)
So, I opened a portal site and started searching for reviews and work schedules.
I wasn't very focused because I was drunk, but I found a popular girl from a chain store that operates nationwide, so I called the store.
"Thank you for calling **. How can I help you?"
"Well, I'm looking at your homepage, and I was wondering if I could call for Miyuki now?"
"I'm sorry, but Miyuki won't be available until 2 am in the middle of the night."
"2 am in the middle of the night is too late. I see, alright then."
Thinking that Miyuki must be popular, I gave up and hung up the phone.
I should have stopped there, but when I looked at the portal site's coupon and discount service page for that day, I found a store offering a new customer discount of 10,000 JPY for 40 minutes.
(This is cheap!)
When I looked at the homepage, there were about 20 girls in maid costumes on the work schedule.
(It looks like someone can come right away)
Thinking so, I decided to call and make a request.
"Hello, this is **."
"Ah, yes, I'd like to request one girl for the 40-minute course, please."
"Yes, understood. May I have your hotel name and room number?"
"Yes, it's room ** of ** Hotel."
"Understood, we can arrive in about 30 minutes. The fee is 12,000 JPY for 40 minutes, so please prepare the payment."
"Ah, sorry, but I saw a new customer discount of 10,000 JPY for 40 minutes on your website..."
"That offer is limited to a certain number of people, and the application period has already ended."
(What's with this store? It's suspicious, so I'll cancel)
"Ah, I see. Then, never mind..."
As I was about to hang up, the staff member on the phone desperately tried to stop me.
"W, wait a moment, please, customer. We'll give you a 10-minute service, so how about 50 minutes for 12,000 JPY?"
(It's troublesome to look for another store now, and I guess I have no choice)
"Alright, but in return, please introduce a cute girl to me. How long will it take?"
"We'll be there in 20 minutes, so please wait."
"Understood, thank you."
I agreed and decided to wait after giving them my hotel name and room number.
In the meantime, I took a shower, cut my nails, and brushed my teeth.
It's Been an Hour and They Still Haven't Come!
When I looked at the clock, it was already past 1 am in the middle of the night.
Since I called around midnight, it had already been over an hour.
Still, they hadn't come...
(I think they said they'd be here in 20 minutes. What's this store thinking?)
I called the store again and told them I wanted to cancel.
"You said you'd be here in 20 minutes, but it's been over an hour. I want to cancel."
Then, the person on the phone said,
"No, no, customer. You can't cancel. It's common sense to wait about an hour."
"What are you talking about? Because of my job, I use delivery health services in various places, but this is the first time I've been lied to. Usually, if it's going to take an hour, they'll honestly tell me so, and they won't lie and say they can be here in 20 minutes!"
"Customer, we've been in business for 10 years, and we've always done it this way. Don't complain just because you had to wait for a little over an hour!"
"Anyway, I can't wait any longer. I'm canceling!"
What an unbelievable store.
To be honest, I was angry, so I forcefully hung up the phone.
After that, they called me many times.
When I looked at the call history, it was from the store I called earlier.
While feeling a little scared, I turned off my cell phone.
When I turned it back on after about 10 minutes, there were no new calls.
(Ah, I'm glad they finally gave up)
Feeling relieved, I looked at the clock.
It was already past 1:30 am in the middle of the night.
(What should I do? I think I'll go with the first store I called. It seems safer)
Thinking so, I called the first store again.
"This is room ** of ** Hotel. I don't have a specific request, but is there a cute girl available now?"
"Yes, we do. We can arrive at your hotel in about 20 minutes."
"Okay, thank you."
Feeling relieved, I hung up the phone and relaxed on the sofa with a can of beer. But after about 10 minutes, the intercom rang.
(Huh? That's faster than I expected. I wonder if it's a cute girl?)
I quietly looked through the door scope...
There Were Two Yakuza Members!
What!? There were two men with a skinhead and a crew cut who looked like yakuza!
I panicked.
Because if I didn't do something, the girl from the delivery health service I called earlier would arrive soon.
What should I do... I need to calm down...
Ding-dong!
The intercom rang again.
I thought it would be a problem if they found out I was in the room, so I quickly called the store I contacted earlier.
"Hello, this is **."
I asked in a small voice if I could cancel so that the yakuza outside wouldn't hear me.
"Ah, sorry. This is room ** of ** Hotel, and I was wondering if I could cancel my earlier request..."
"Ah, a cancellation. Understood."
"I'm really sorry. Thank you."
(I'm glad I was able to cancel...)
Ding-dong!
The intercom was still ringing.
Rattle, rattle!
Someone was trying to open the doorknob, but it was locked, so it didn't open.
I took off my room slippers, turned off the lights, and quietly put my ear to the door.
Then, I heard one of the men talking on the phone.
"There's no answer. They might be absent."
They were terrifying people. If I had opened the door thinking it was the girl I called, what would have happened...
Anyway, I held my breath and stayed still.
After about 10 minutes, I cautiously looked through the door scope again, and the two men were gone.
(That was dangerous. If I had handled it poorly, I might have been killed)
The Next Morning, There Was No Ambush
The next morning, when I cautiously left the room, there was no one in the hallway.
And even when I checked out at the front desk, there was no ambush.
(I'm glad no one was there)
I sighed with relief and patted my chest.
Conclusion
Wow, I was surprised to find that there are still stores in the local areas that are so careless in their business practices.
If it's going to take time, I wish they would honestly tell me so, and if they're caught in a traffic jam and will be late, I wish they would let me know by phone.
For example, "We're caught in a traffic jam, so it will take a little longer."
Just a word would be enough.
Anyway, I'm glad I'm safe.
The next time I use a delivery health service, I'll not only check the girls' photos but also the reviews and ratings of the store.
Please be careful, everyone.
