Luckily for Reiji, Sakura's deviance wasn't too ridiculous. She'd never removed her hand from him, but at least there wasn't some growing distraction to deal with. As such, he could focus well enough to bring up Shota's tab and figure the price of his new purchase. "With the addition of this briefcase, your tab total is 218,700 yen," he said flatly. Shota whistled in that moment. He didn't realize such a massive total had been racked up since the last series of tournaments, but that was alright. "Yikes! Not leaving much for gas money, eh sensei?~" he asked teasingly.

Reiji had no verbal or visual reaction to those words. This was an exchange of business, so he was to be paid in full. Shota had a tab that would be called at 250,000 yen, so it was best he pay right away. A credit card was produced. Of course he'd be using a credit card. Sighing yet again, Reiji pressed a few keys and swiped the card to begin a new batch. This was the reason doors were to be locked at closing time; late customers were never convenient. "Goaikoiitadaki arigatou gozaimasu," Reiji said upon placing Shota's card atop the briefcase, sliding both across the counter. "Arigatou, sensei! Oh, and can I─"

"Kakihara-kun," Reiji interjected whatever Shota intended to say. The politeness he offered to Sakura was reserved for customers who followed social etiquettes and shop customs. Though usually a good patron, Shota was doing neither of those things presently. Hearing his name spoken in a somewhat foreboding way, Shota fell silent and took a tentative step back ─ only to see the glare hidden just below the surface of Reiji's glasses and eyes. Strange; his lips showed a smile, but his eyes belied something else entirely. "Business is closed for the day. I apologize for the confusion of the unlocked door, but please reserve all purchases and enquiries for business hours. Arigatou... gozaimasu."

Sakura's deviance was quite high, but she already knew this man to be quite the stickler about his work based activities. Like many others who could have been here, she wouldn't interrupt him when the thing he was serious about was on the table. Instead she simply allowed her hand to stay where it was, happily assessing mana flow and knowing she might actually get to gorge herself properly in a bit. Such a thought made her feel quite empty inside, but not in the purely horny sort of way. Perhaps she'd end up asking the rest of the group about that feeling later as well? Regardless she'd be none too patiently waiting for Kakihara to leave.

While Sakura didn't have a vast knowledge of transactions, she'd done enough research between the last two days to know that Kakihara was actually being incredibly inconsiderate by showing up so late and by making additional requests when he'd initially asked for a single thing. What she'd observed of Japanese culture so far, said they took consideration of others quite seriously. Ah, but because of his less than savory actions she got to witness something rather interesting. An intensity to Reiji which was otherwise unseen seemed to seep out of him. There was an air of authority to the way he said Kakihara's name which sent light shivers down the girl's spine. 'Oh? I like that~' she thought happily while looking up at Reiji, she gave him another wink in her way as she generally approved of this firm handed approach. And then they'd be waiting for the proper exit.

"H-hai... yeah, gomen. I got excited and forgot about that part. I'll be on my way now!" Shota blurted out quickly as he stumbled away from the counter. Akaba Reiji always had a terrifying side, though it was seen rarely. Reiji waved as the lad made a swift exit, leaning into the counter and sighing deeply during the wait. In doing so, he saw Sakura winking in another flirtatious gesture. This day was only getting stranger by the moment.

Soon enough, the shop door shut. Reiji waited only a few additional moments for the sound of a car door shutting as well. Only then did he feel comfortable enough to speak again. "Yare yare. There's always one person who thinks it's acceptable to approach the shop after closing hour. Though, that one was my fault for not locking the door. Now... might I ask what you're doing down there?" he wondered, looking down at the girl who'd been holding onto his groin during that entire transaction. She'd put him in a rather precarious situation this night.

Shaky, fearful. Interesting. Kakihara was very much intimidated by Reiji, that much was very obvious to Sakura. It would seem he was in quite the rush to get out of the store after it became obvious that Reiji had no interest in entertaining him.

This shops proprietor leaned against the counter while Sakura remained where she was. She too listened and found herself completely dispelling that use of 'Presence Concealment' as soon as Kakihara had cleared the door. Still she was quiet, waiting for words from Reiji and eventually getting them. It would seem he had a bit of frustration to vent about the nature of that last entrance. "He knew the shop was supposed to be closed. It is wildly inconsiderate for him to force his bad planning issues onto you. Especially in a place where everyone is so considerate," she commented absently. As for her actions she looked up at him almost innocently, though there was something about her face which could never truly imply innocence. "Well, the truth of the matter is I started off simply sating a simple curiosity. Admittedly, I know you take such business quite seriously so I was doing my best not to get in your way. Even so, I wanted you to understand I am serious. I understand what I asked, and from whom and I am prepared to see it though..." she said honestly. "I am not inexperienced and something like this would be really fun for me. Or more likely for us, Reiji-san~" she claimed while allowing her finger to trace his erection. Perhaps she truly wasn't innocent, but she couldn't help but wonder how he took all those things.

Shota knew exactly what he was doing. Sakura knew this, and so did Reiji. Perhaps the only one who didn't realize how inconvenient Shota was, was Shota himself. No matter; he was gone now. With that being the case, Reiji could figure out why Sakura was still in the floor and touching him so inappropriately. Maybe he could also find out why she had him so easily aroused. Regarding the more easily-answered matter, Sakura claimed she'd only started with curiosity. He could commend her for holding back while he attended to business; that showed a level of maturity one couldn't expect of most teens. Perhaps then, her request was one worth entertaining? He was at least thinking as much.

Sakura was obviously serious, whether he fully believed it before or not. There was a claim of experience, and a reiteration of how things could be fun. Based on her behavior thus far, he imagined that would be the case. "I'm willing to believe you," he said as that finger traveled along the bulge in his trousers. There was no innocence in Tohsaka Sakura. She looked the part of an innocent, wholesome young woman, but it was all on the surface. Just beneath the surface of that gaze, there was flint meant to set fire to the loins of men. Reiji inhaled slowly and exhaled deeply. Perhaps it was time to make a mistake. "So, what's your plan?"

[Apollymi]

After Kakihara went on about his evening, it would appear that Sakura and Reiji were finally free to finish their conversation. After explaining her stance, it would appear that a pure and honest conversation was indeed the way to go with someone like Reiji. What was more, after her few remaining antics, Reiji seemed to believe Sakura. A little grin came to her face as he seemed to be thinking over some things. She stood still allowing that finger to trace the length of him as she did so. When asked of her plans she looked at Reiji directly. She technically had a plan but it might not be exactly what he thought it was. "My plan was mostly getting you to agree to this intimate endeavor. After that I was willing to leave the choice in venue to you... figuring you might not fully be comfortable with the irresponsible or impulsive choice," she said. "With that we could spend some time together and I'd like to know how you use that~" she said cutting her eyes towards the budge in his pants. It truly was quite the impressive tool, definitely top ten percent by far. "Afterwards we can return to the level of propriety you seem to enjoy for general purposes," she said. She wasn't a child she could easily separate each moment in her life without feeling like she was changing anything. The entirety of Sakura's plan was to have sex with Reiji and then go back to their usual way of interacting. She wasn't exceedingly needy or anything like that, she simply wanted to sate her curiosity and make sure she received understanding of the kind of man she seemed to enjoy the most.

[Bloodedge]

Sakura's plan was given without fail. Of course, it didn't come without the continued accosting of his groin. Sakura seemed to be tracing his length as a matter of habit at a certain point. She couldn't have been more clear about her desire, but what of the intent? Well, Reiji would know over the course of a few statements. She didn't seem to want anything more than an outing, a session to take place in whatever venue Reiji pleased. He thought returning to their normal relationship as proprietor and patron was for the best. "That would be ideal. I'm only 36; I guess I am entitled to an impulsive decision every now and again. I'll agree," he said. So long as there were no fraternization issues, there was no major problem remaining in Reiji's mind. As for the venue, there were very few choices.

Reiji offered a hand to help the lass up, figuring it would be best if they took their leave of the shop. "I would rather not stay here any longer. Mixing business and pleasure is not my intention, so if you wouldn't mind, I'll escort you to my house," he said. Reiji certainly wasn't going to debase a girl he still considered quite nice by dragging her into some back-alley love hotel. Provided she took his hand, he'd be leading her out the shop's back after stopping to lock the doors. "As a warning, I currently live in Shinkanaokacho, about twenty minutes away. I will gladly escort you home when you want, but it will be some time... in addition to the time it will take to finish, I should say," he mentioned, having it on good authority that a few hours would be necessary under any normal circumstance in his experience.
