Habikino Hatsuhiko loved money.

No, that’s not quite right. His feelings toward money had long since transcended the realm of mere likes and dislikes. In Hatsuhiko’s mind, money drove the world forward, propped it up, changed it, and formed it. Money was the world itself.

The club he had founded, Win-Wing, was officially an organization intended to enable its members’ collaborative study of economic principles, while behind the scenes its true purpose was to manage financial assets...but unbeknownst to its members, the club had a third, actual purpose even aside from that—to serve as a factory in which Hatsuhiko could mass-produce slaves to do his bidding.

Hatsuhiko firmly believed that money was the great motivator. Money was all you could ever need. It drove people more so than anything else on the planet—and that didn’t just apply to money that you could provide. Debt was just as capable of moving people to action as the promise of money could be, and a vast number of Win-Wing’s members were indebted to Hatsuhiko. None of them, however, held that fact against him. Far from it—some of them even idolized him.

Whenever Hatsuhiko’s club mates would find themselves in financial trouble, he would be there to lend a helping hand in the simplest way possible, lending them the money they needed. Their debts would have crushed them unless someone had stepped in to help, and he did just that, asking for no interest on his loan and setting no deadline for repayment. They revered him as a god, or perhaps a buddha. Their gratitude could hardly be overstated...and none of them so much as suspected that Hatsuhiko himself had engineered their debts to begin with.

Take, for instance, the case of Mukaibara Takurou. He had founded a company recently, only to find himself in dire straits when its financial situation went south...but the person who had spurred him into making said company and who had pulled every string available to ensure that it wouldn’t come together successfully was none other than Hatsuhiko himself. All Hatsuhiko had to do at that point was wait for Takurou to come to him, desperate and in tears, then offer him a few kind words and a paltry sum of money. With that, yet another obedient slave had entered Hatsuhiko’s service. The matter of the embezzled club funds was nothing more than a handy bargaining chip that he could tuck away for future use.

Using those general methods, Hatsuhiko had seized control of the lives of a sizable number of his club’s members. He then proceeded to use them freely, building up even more funding and recruiting more slaves in the process. That’s all the club meant to him, really. It was a tool he could use to make “connections”—in other words, slaves—nothing more and nothing less.

The evening’s welcome party served the same end. All he wanted out of it was the chance to bring more workers into his roster, and he’d intended to spend the whole evening acting the part of the perfect upperclassman while he searched for potentially useful attendees.
