CHAPTER XIV
The Second Test
I arrived at the office punctually as usual on Monday,
determined to swallow my pride and ask Shizue where a
girl should go to buy the really sexy clothes I longed
to wear. But I forgot about that the moment I saw the
envelope on my desk. The Second Test was about to
begin at last!
Dear Kimiko,
We showed your video to our friends at our regular
party on Friday night, and everyone agreed you were
_fantastic_! It doesn't matter that you only went as
far as Kyoto: the important thing is that you picked
up a man, just as we told you to, and made him pay for
the weekend. And what _incredible_ sex you had!
Bondage, whipping, caning, golden showers - and those
beautiful little tattoos! You do know what they mean,
don't you? From now on you can never deny the truth
about yourself. Every time you show yourself to a
lover, you will be telling him that what you _really_
want is to be tied up and whipped! Lucky you!
Some of our group are desperate to see you and make
you submit to all the lovely things you enjoy so much.
So we agreed to invite you to our next meeting. It's
on Friday, 22 October. Put it in your diary now.
You'll get instructions later. Remember, this is not
just a social invitation. It will be your final Test.
You are going to be tried out by a real expert, not
just a casual pick-up, and we warn you he will be
difficult to please.
But to begin with you need suitable clothes, and
buying them for yourself will be your Second Test. You
made a good start with your new wardrobe yesterday,
but you don't really know much about sexy things, do
you? You need to go where the professionals and
experts do their shopping. So some evening this week
after work you are to go to Asakusa. You know where
the big Kannon Temple is, of course. About a third of
the way down the approach, on the left after the
Kaminari Gate, there is a big shoe-shop. Professional
girls buy their shoes there - the shop has lots of
sexy things! For the party you will need a really
exciting dress and the shoes to go with it. It's up to
you to discover where to buy the dress: that's part of
the Test. We're just pointing you in the right
direction by telling you to go to Asakusa; but if you
choose something _really_ sexy in the shoe-shop, and
then ask where you can find a sexy dress to match,
someone will probably help you.
On Thursday you'll get instructions on where to find
the party where you will submit to your final Test.
Meanwhile, enjoy your shopping!
- Tomoko and Shizue
I was absolutely thrilled. Not only was I being
accepted by a group of people I desperately wanted to
please: Tomoko and Shizue had answered my question on
where to buy the clothes I wanted. It would never have
occurred to me to look for them in Asakusa. Of course
I had been there: the Kannon Temple is one of the
sights of Tokyo, a rare traditional area which
survived the earthquake, the war and the modern
rebuilding. I remembered a broad pedestrian street of
shops in front of the Temple, but surely they sold
nothing but souvenirs and furniture for Buddhist
altars. The "professional" girls bought their clothes
there, did they? I was sure that meant the bar-girls
and prostitutes whose life-style fascinated me.
Despite my - secretly rather thrilling - experience
yesterday afternoon, I didn't really want to _be_ one
of them, but I longed to _look_ the way they did! Why
wait? I would go to Asakusa that very evening.
Checking that my boss was not in his office, I
daringly telephoned my mother and briefly told her I
would be late home. She seemed surprisingly relaxed
about it, hardly realising that her younger daughter
was preparing to do something which would determine
her whole future life. Maybe Fumiko had already spoken
to her and urged her not to fuss over me.
It was already nearly dark when I walked through the
Kaminari-mon or Thunder Gate, a gigantic structure
painted in red lacquer, the Buddhist deities of
thunder and lightning on guard beside it, an enormous
paper lantern hanging from the roof. The approach to
the Kannon Temple was a cheerful place, full of
families out for a cheap evening, young girls in tarty
dresses pretending not to notice they were being eyed
by young men, groups of schoolgirls in uniform
giggling as they were eyed by older men. I felt a
little out of place in my smart office clothes. I soon
spotted the shoe-shop on the left: a big place largely
open to the pedestrian street. Before entering I
walked on further. I was hoping to identify a suitable
dress-shop so as to spare myself the embarrassment of
enquiring; but also some instinct told me a new
enterprise like this should first be blessed by a
prayer to the Lord Buddha.
At the end of the shopping street was another huge
gate, and then an open square from which the temple
itself was visible. On the left were the Shinto
shrines where the spirits of this sacred place were
worshipped in a different but harmonious way; in the
centre was a large incense burner. A group of elderly
people - mostly women - were clustered round it,
waving the smoke onto the parts of their bodies which
suffered from aches and pains in the hope that it
would do them good. I walked on. To the right was a
covered fountain with long-handled cups for the use of
visitors. I rinsed one of them, then poured a little
of the clear water over my hands and washed out my
mouth. Purified, I approached the temple and walked up
the broad steps with the other worshippers. It was
dark inside but I could make out the gilded female
statue of Kannon, the Buddha of mercy and compassion.
I threw some coins into the big collection box at the
top of the steps, taking care to be generous and make
up for having had nothing to give at the Kiyomizu
Temple in Kyoto. I bowed for a few moments over my
folded hands before turning away and going back down
the steps. There was no need to say, even silently,
what I wanted: the Lord Buddha would know - had always
known, even before I did.
The shoe-shop was so big I hardly knew where to start.
Even after I had eliminated displays of "sensible" or
outdoor footwear, there was rack after rack of
charmingly sexy shoes with narrow heels, ankle-straps
hinting sweetly at bondage, pretty open sandals which
would show my feet almost naked - nearly every pair I
tried on flattering my legs delightfully. An assistant
tried to help me, but I was so overwhelmed by choice
that she soon left me to make up my own mind.
"Now _they_ really suit you," said a woman's voice
behind me.
I was trying on - for the third time - a pair in
glittering silver with absurdly high heels and pretty
silver ankle-chains, and had almost decided to buy
them. I swung round, nearly overbalancing on the
needle-sharp spike heels which were making my legs
look so slender and shapely in the floor-level mirror.
"Thank you," I said.
She was rather older than me, and dressed smartly in a
short green skirt and matching shoes with gold heels.
She carried a coat over her arm.
"But what kind of dress are you planning to wear with
them? Will they go with it all right?"
Of course I had no idea. I looked at her beseechingly.
"I was planning to buy a dress too, but I don't know
where ... do you know the shops in this
neighbourhood?" I managed to stammer out at last.
"Sure! I work nearby and buy most of my clothes round
here. Why don't I show you? I'm in no hurry."
"Oh, but ..."
"Now, I can see you love those shoes, and they
certainly do a lot for you, but why don't we see if we
can find you a dress to match? Leave them here for the
moment - no one's going to walk off with them in the
next few minutes - and I'll take you to one of my
favourite dress-shops."
"You're being very kind," I murmured. "My name's
Kimiko, by the way. Kimiko Kobayashi."
"Hello, Kimiko. I'm Sachiko." She looked at my OL
uniform. "I can see you work in an office."
"Yes, in Shinagawa."
"I used to work in an office, till I realised the Gods
made girls to do more exciting things than serving tea
and filing papers. Better paid things, too. Come with
me."
She led me out of the shop and down the street at a
brisk pace, the heels of her pretty green-and-gold
shoes tapping on the stone pavement and her wide short
skirt swinging sexily. She took a turning and soon I
became lost as we zigzagged through the ill-lit
back-streets.
"Sachiko-san! Welcome! What can we do for you this
evening?" said a cheerful male voice as we entered a
shop. It was open to the street like the shoe-shop,
though of course it was much smaller: bunches of
dresses protected by clear plastic covers were hanging
on racks protruding onto the pavement.
"Nothing for me today, thanks, but I've brought you my
new friend Kimiko who needs a sexy dress to please her
lover."
"Well, she's come to the right place for that. No
lover was ever dissatisfied with a girl who wore one
of _our_ dresses. You know my motto, Sachiko-san: if
you wear one of ours on a date and don't get fucked,
bring it back and we'll change it. Either that or you
change your lover." He laughed easily, and looked me
over. "Well, what sort of thing are you looking for,
Kimiko-san? What turns him on - whoever he is, the
lucky man?"
"I've found a pair of silver shoes," I said firmly,
refusing to be disconcerted by this banter, "glittery
and with very high heels. So I'd like something in
silver to go with them."
"Short, of course?"
"Yes please. As short as possible."
"No problem."
The young man reached for a long pole with a hook at
one end and began searching skilfully through the rows
of dresses hanging overhead. Soon he had half-a-dozen
different styles to offer me.
"That's about all we have in silver in your size just
now. They're all short, but if you like one of them
and want it even shorter we can fix that for you
quickly enough. Come inside and try them on."
"Inside" was still rather exposed to the street and
there was no changing-room, but I soon got used to the
idea of displaying myself in underwear and tights
while I tried on the young man's suggestions. With
Sachiko's expert advice I was soon able to make a
choice. It was in glittering silver, a tight sheath
from below my breasts to well above my knees,
completed by a little halter-neck top which more or
less covered my breasts. Tied to the plastic hanger
was a sweet little g-string in the same glittering
material - just a tiny triangle with narrow straps to
tie in bows on my hips.
"Of course when you're wearing a bra you can't really
see how nice it looks on you."
Demurely I turned my back on him and removed the lacy
white bra of my office uniform, then retied the silver
bow behind my neck. I could tell without looking that
the young man was enjoying the glimpses of my naked
breasts through the sides of the loose upper part of
the dress. I didn't mind: it was nice to know I
pleased him. I looked at myself in the mirror. I stood
on tip-toe to imagine how my legs would look supported
by the lovely high heels I had already chosen. I
raised my arms and piled my hair on top of my head,
trying how I looked with my back fully bared. The
skirt rose higher but still just managed to cover my
bottom and crotch.
"Very nice, dear," said Sachiko. "I really think you
should have that. But it needs to be a bit shorter and
rather tighter."
"Do you really think so?"
"Yes, of course! A dress like that needs to look as if
it's been _painted_ on. And it should show a glimpse
of your panties when you lift your arms over your
head, and it doesn't even begin to do that, does it?
But do you like it otherwise?"
"I love it," I said firmly.
"Right, that's settled." She turned to the young man.
"How soon can you have the alterations done?"
"Er - Wednesday?" he suggested tentatively.
"That will be all right," I said. "I don't need to
wear it till Friday."
"The top's fine, of course," said Sachiko. "Those
pretty breasts of yours fill it nicely."
The silver triangles of the halter-neck only partly
covered my breasts, and my hard nipples visibly
pointed through the thin cloth. I expected the young
man would want to take my measurements, but instead he
just walked round me examining me carefully. From
behind I felt his hands lightly hold my waist and then
my bottom.
"Yes, I've got it, take the seams in here and _here_
so that it's really tightly stretched ... that should
look very nice ... and how much off the skirt, two
centimetres?"
"Three," said Sachiko firmly. "Maybe four." She took
hold of the front of the skirt and the tips of her
fingers briefly brushed my crotch. "Well, let's say
three-and-a-half. That should do it."
"Well, if you'd like to take it off and leave it with
me," said the young man, "it'll be ready for you on
Wednesday evening. And if I may," he added, "I'll find
you a pair of long silver gloves to go with it. No
extra charge, of course: just something to welcome a
new customer. I think that will look very nice - don't
you?"
Silently, lost in a dream of delicious sensuality, I
changed back into my uniform. I was so preoccupied I
could not even answer at first when he asked my full
name. Sachiko told him, and the young man wrote it on
a piece of paper which he pinned to my dress before
hanging it in a corner with other clothes awaiting
alteration.
"Now I'll allow you to buy those shoes!" said Sachiko
gaily. "We'll tell the shop to keep them for you, and
you can pick them up on Wednesday at the same time."
I was still silent. The sensation of the tight dress
on my body had stirred some very special memories - a
desire to feel the whole of myself as intimately
embraced as _his_ cock must have felt, gripped by my
narrow anus ...
"Is there anything else I can do for you?" the young
man asked politely.
"Yes," I said, making up my mind at last. "Something
quite different. D'you have a corset? I mean -" I was
not quite sure what I _did_ mean "- not one of those
old-fashioned things, something nice, to hold me
really tight, that people will enjoy looking at ..."
"Of course, I know just what you want. Come to the
back of the shop and I'll show you."
Right at the back were shelves and a tiny counter. He
began to lay things out for me.
"What colour did you have in mind? Most of what we
have is in black - that's very popular."
"Shiny black is best," said Sachiko firmly, "if you've
never worn one before."
"Would you like it to cover your breasts? Or are you
thinking of something that just constricts your
waist?"
"Just my waist," I murmured.
The thought of the contrast between my waist cruelly
bound by the shiny black material, and my breasts and
bottom flaunting naked and unrestrained, was so
exciting that I could hardly speak. The young man
hunted again in his shelves.
"Perhaps you would like to try this one?"
Quickly I slipped off my jacket and blouse once more.
"It would be best if you took off your bra as well =
if you don't mind."
I did so without hesitation. It was so exciting to
feel the material against my skin, his strong fingers
tightening the narrow straps at my back. I looked
admiringly at the sensuous vision in the mirror.
"I wonder," he said from behind me, "maybe a size
smaller would be even better - if you could bear it?"
It was. Even better. And of course I could bear it - I
_longed_ to bear it.
"May I - may I keep it on a little longer? Of course
I'll have it, but I don't want to take it off just yet
..."
"What you really need to go with it," said Sachiko,
"is long black boots and gloves."
"Of course!" said the young man.
The skin-tight gloves took a while to slide onto my
arms, but a few puffs of powdered chalk from a plastic
dispenser did the trick. While he was hunting for
matching boots I took off my shoes and tights, and
then after a moment's hesitation my white panties too.
Well, why not? With the skin-tight high-heeled boots
reaching way up my thighs, I looked at myself in the
mirror for a long moment.
"Oh, how _lovely_!" I said at last.
I didn't mean my own appearance, though I might have
done. I meant the things that would surely happen to
me when I presented myself to my lovers in such
provocative, helpless beauty. My companions left me in
peace to enjoy my dream. At last I allowed myself to
be stripped of my finery, which was carefully packed
into an anonymous carrier-bag.
"Until Wednesday, then," said the young man politely
as Sachiko and I left his shop. "Thank you so much for
your custom, Kobayashi-san. Now that I know the sort
of thing you like and what looks good on you," he
added in a softer voice, "I should be delighted to
find other things for you. It will be my pleasure to
dress you so that you really look your best on your
dates. Please rely on me."
Sachiko led me briskly back to the main temple
approach, pointing out the way and making sure I could
find the dress-shop again on my own. Her heels tapping
sexily on the pavement, she accompanied me to the
shoe-shop and waited impatiently while I paid for my
beautiful silver shoes and arranged for them to be
held for me till Wednesday.
"Now I must say good-bye," she said briskly. "I shall
be late for work."
I pulled myself out of my daydream.
"Oh, but you've been so kind to me! I can't thank you
enough!"
"Nothing - you're most welcome. But forgive me if I rush
- I mustn't be late."
I couldn't bear to lose her company so soon. I might
never meet her again.
"Where _do_ you work?" I said quickly. "And what do
you do? Can I walk with you as far as ... wherever it
is?"
She looked at me dubiously for a moment.
"All right," she decided at last. "But you mustn't be
shocked." She set off again briskly; I skipped along
beside her, trying to keep up. "I work in what they
call a Pink Salon. You know, where men come to be
serviced by girls."
"Oh! Is it a private club?"
"Oh, no! Anyone can come."
"But there _are_ private clubs, aren't there, where
the girls dance naked, and ... and anything is
allowed?"
I couldn't bear to think that my fantasy might after
all be just that. Sachiko smiled at me.
"Yes, there certainly are, but you won't find them in
_this_ part of Tokyo. There's nothing exclusive about
Asakusa. You need to go to Akasaka, and off the Ginza,
to find places like that."
"And how do girls get to work there?"
"Well, obviously there's an audition, and even then a
girl is only employed as long as the management are
satisfied the customers - the members, I mean, in that
sort of place - really like her."
"Have you ever worked in a club like that, Sachiko?" I
asked hesitantly.
"Oh, no! That's not for the likes of me. I'm more the
cheap and cheerful kind. Quick and often, that's me.
The exclusive clubs are looking for young, beautiful
high-class girls - you know, _o-josama_, princess
types."
My heart began to pound painfully as I suddenly
remembered that Tomoko and Shizue had said, when they
subjected me to my first Test, that _I_ was a
nose-in-the-air princess type! I knew I wasn't, not
really, but even if I only looked like one, perhaps
there was hope such a Club might take me on ... that
if I could act the part well enough men might enjoy
the fantasy of an apparently high-class girl whose
secret sexual desires were anything but high-class -
who was eager to do whatever they wanted, the more
wonderfully perverted and _un_-princess-like the
better ...
"And of course all the girls who choose to work in a
place like that must be crazy about kinky sex, as well
as being princess types, and the men find that really
exciting." She stopped for a moment and looked at me
sharply. "Are _you_ crazy about things like that,
Kimiko?" she asked severely.
Well, I was of course - or was learning to be at
least, ever since I found out the truth about myself
at Megumi's wedding. But somehow I didn't want to say
so outright to a comparative stranger. For a moment I
was tempted to ask "Things like what?" - but then I
decided to change the subject.
"Isn't there a Club like that in Akasaka called the
Pink Pussycat?" I asked, feeling my way.
"Don't know it. Of course the top Club of them all is
the Paradise Club. It's a sort of legend. Every girl
in the business dreams of being accepted there, but
hardly anyone's ever seen the inside of it. I
certainly haven't, though they say it has its own
building off Kasumigaseki. I sometimes wonder if it
really exists. Perhaps it's just a myth, invented to
encourage us girls to work harder in the hope of
making it to the top.[4] Anyway, this is where _I_
work. D'you want to see inside?"
"May I? Oh, I'd _love_ to!"
We had reached a door in a dark side-street. An
illuminated sign above it said "Pinku Saron Bara",
with a little picture of a pink rose, which is what
_bara_ means in Japanese. I suddenly remembered that
_bara_ had been the name of the table at which I had
been placed at Megumi's wedding, the day my life
changed ... Sachiko stood aside politely as a man came
out, adjusting his trousers as he walked to make them
sit more comfortably. Then I followed her inside and
found myself in a long corridor, small rooms with open
doorways on both sides. As my eyes grew accustomed to
the dim light I saw that in most of the rooms a man
was sitting, either alone or with a woman kneeling on
the floor in front of him. There was a bustle of girls
hurrying to and fro along the corridor, and a rather
musty smell as if the place were never properly
cleaned or aired.
"Evening, Sachiko," said a man presiding at a desk at
the end of the corridor. "Just in time! We're busy
tonight." He interrupted himself to bark into a
microphone, "Aiko to number 17! Hurry up!" He turned
back to us. "Who's this?" he asked.
"This is Kimiko," said my friend. "I've only just met
her but I think she has what it takes. Mind if she
goes round with me?"
"Sure, you usually have an eye for talent. (Yoko,
number 5 is waiting!) Make sure she knows she's just
here to learn. You can try her as a _momo_ if you
think she's picking it up fast enough."
We pushed past the dispatcher's desk into a tiny room
where a couple of girls sat with their shoes off,
taking a break. They looked at me curiously.
"I suggest you take your tights and panties off," said
Sachiko. "Otherwise they'll get in the way."
"What's a _momo_?" I asked as I peeled them off and
stowed them in the carrier bag containing my new
purchases. Of course I knew that the word meant
"peach" but I wanted to know its technical meaning in
a place like this.
"A beginner who's allowed to stroke the customer's
thighs and balls but has to hand over to someone like
me to finish him off," she explained briefly.
The dispatcher's voice came over the loudspeaker.
"Sachiko, you ready? Number 9!"
I followed her as she hurried off to find her first
customer of the evening. He was sitting on a
plush-covered bench in a tiny room, his trousers and
underpants already round his ankles.
"Two?" he said as we came in. "Didn't order a bicycle.
Only paying for one."
"Of course, sir," said Sachiko, "only a new girl who's
here to learn."
So _jitensha_ - "bicycle" was the professional term
for being fucked by two girls at once. The man looked
at me more carefully.
"OL style, eh? Great."
I realised that being fucked at the office by an
insatiable OL still in her miniskirted uniform came
near the top of many men's sexual fantasies.
"What would you like, sir?" Sachiko was asking.
"_Enaru pure_ and _rippu pure_,"[5] replied the man.
Sachiko hunted in her bag for a packet of condoms. She
tore one out of its foil wrapping and fitted it over
the middle finger of her left hand, then tightened it
with a small elastic band and coated the tip with
lubricating jelly. She knelt in front of the man and
reached behind his naked buttocks. It hadn't occurred
to me that a man could enjoy having his anus
penetrated just as a woman could, but he soon began to
groan with pleasure at Sachiko's skilful "anal play",
her lubricated finger pushing its way into him and
tickling his prostate. The sensation soon brought his
cock to full erection, and Sachiko began "lip play",
sucking him deep into her mouth. I might be only a
_momo_, a beginner, I thought, but _I_ can do that!
"Please let me!" I begged her.
Sachiko slid his cock out of her mouth, holding it in
position for me with the finger and thumb of her right
hand encircling the root. I took it happily into mine,
enjoying the warm taste of her saliva along with the
irresistible smell of male sexual arousal. I flicked
my tongue tantalisingly across the sensitive underside
and, even though my head and throat were at the wrong
angle, managed to swallow at least a little of it.
"Great! Oh, great!" gasped the man. "But no, stop a
minute."
I looked up at him anxiously. Sachiko too stopped her
rhythmic probing of his anus.
"I want _umanori_," he gasped.
"No, no," said Sachiko quickly, "you know that's not
allowed. No direct genital contact."
But I had already guessed what "horse-riding" must
mean.
"Oh, please let me do it!" I begged. "It sounds
lovely."
"All right then, quick - I'll keep a look out."
I stood up and pulled my tight skirt up round my
waist; then straddled his legs and, facing towards the
door, took his wet erection into my cunt. He seized my
waist and guided the speed of my up-and-down movement.
It felt beautiful, and must have been heaven for him
as Sachiko continued to stimulate him from the rear as
well. Soon enough, with a great gasp of pleasure, he
came. As the two of us pulled away from him Sachiko
gave his ebbing erection a quick wipe with one of the
pile of damp cloths[6] lying rolled up on a little
tray on the side-table, passing it then to him to
finish the job with. I took another and wiped myself
clean as Sachiko removed the condom from her finger.
She neatly swept up the debris and deposited it in a
little swing-top container by the door as we both
bowed low to our customer with murmured farewells.
"Why isn't genital contact allowed?" I asked her as we
waited for her next call.
"Because this place is registered with the local
authorities as a snack-bar," she said.
"As a _what_?"
"That's right. In theory we're just serving the men
drinks and entertaining them. And a certain amount of
touching is allowed to bar hostesses but if you're
caught screwing the customers you can end up in court
and the Salon could be closed down. Unless they have
good _kone_ with the police, of course," she added,
using the Japanese abbreviation for "connections".
"But isn't that rather silly?" I asked. "Surely
everyone knows what really goes on here?"
"Of course it's silly. Any attempt to control the sex
trade is silly."
From then on it was a mad rush from one cubicle to
another. I noticed that in each there was a tiny table
with a couple of glasses and small, rather dusty,
bottles of beer: there wasn't time to ask Sachiko what
they were for but I guessed they were ready in case,
in an emergency, the "Pinku Saron" had to switch over
in a moment to being the "snack-bar" it officially
was. As we went round Sachiko quickly explained to me
the meaning of the specialist requirements as I
carried them out with increasing confidence. I began
to make suggestions myself to more bashful customers,
and Sachiko no longer tried to stop me indulging
myself and my clients with full genital contact -
either "horse-riding" or the face-to-face equivalent,
_dakko-chan_ or "little dolly".
My customers often wanted me to take off the jacket
and blouse of my office uniform before I started, and
when they saw my plump firm breasts decided to request
_paizuri_ or breast masturbation. It was a nice
feeling to take a man's erect cock between my breasts,
and rub and squeeze it till his hot cum poured
generously over them. A new trick for me was called
"bowling" or _tamakorogashi_, which meant taking his
balls into my mouth, rolling them around with my
tongue and discovering which parts of his scrotum were
most sensitive to my delicate licking, while with my
hands I stroked his cock till he could stand it no
longer and covered my face with fuck. It made me
giggle though when Sachiko told me that coming over a
girl's face was known as _korifuawa_ or "cauliflower"
from the look of the white gobbets of cum decorating
her cheeks. It was lovely, anyway, whatever the
technical name for it, and I was always sorry to have
to wipe my face clean ready for the next customer. But
she insisted that I leave "anal play" to her, as it
required special practice.[7]
After a couple of hours Sachiko said we were entitled
to a breather and I remembered I had to get home.
"You've done very well, Kimiko," said the dispatcher
as, a demure little OL again with panties and tights
firmly in place, I said my farewells. "The customers
gave you straight A's and B's."
"You mean, you ask them to rate us?"
"That's right. A to F. Any girl who gets F's is fired
at once. D's and E's are pretty dodgy. (Aiko, will you
get your fat ass over to number 12 at once?) Keeps the
girls on their toes. But you can have a job here any
time you like. Sachiko will tell you what we pay."
"Thank you." I had a sudden inspiration. "Can I do
anything special for you before I leave? It must be so
frustrating for you, sitting here all evening without
getting anything yourself."
"Thanks, Kimiko, but there's a gay S&M place round the
corner I visit most evenings when I've finished here.
(Fujiko, number 8!)."

On Wednesday evening after work I visited Asakusa
again. I first collected the lovely silver shoes so
that I could wear them while trying out my new dress
at the dress-shop. Sachiko had been right: tightened
and shortened it looked fabulous on me, even though I
had quite a struggle with the zip fastener getting
into it! And the young man had found me matching
gloves as he had promised. I looked at myself for ages
in the mirror, and was sorely tempted to wear the
dress home; but in the end I peeled it off and allowed
my new friend to fold it lovingly and pack it for me
with the accessories in one of his carrier bags. For
the moment it would have to join my beautiful black
corset outfit in the hiding-place I had made for it
under the winter futon at the bottom of my closet.
"Thank you, Kobayashi-san. I'm so glad I was able to
find something that suits you. You will come again,
won't you? It's such a pleasure to dress a beautiful
girl like you."
I promised I would.

[5] "Anal play" and "lip play". Japanised English can
be very confusing - especially when written in a
character-set which does not allow the marking of long
vowels. The e in "enaru" and in "pure" is long and
pronounced (more or less) "ay". The r is the best the
Japanese language can do with l, and the u is hardly
spoken. - B W
[6] The ubiquitous _o-shibori_ or damp cloths of Japan
are provided to the many establishments requiring them
by specialist companies, which then collect them once
used for laundering and recirculation. On average they
are used about twenty times before they disintegrate
and have to be replaced. For obvious reasons the sex
industry is a big customer. Next time, dear reader, an
obsequious waitress in a Japanese restaurant hands you
a delicately scented little hot or cold towel to wipe
your face and hands with, you might reflect on where
else it might have been in its travels ... - K K
