Oh, such speed. Thanks, translator-kun.
I don't know what I expected, but I think that actually actively, if not forcefully, scamming people for Ushijima is out of character. Until know he was presented to us as a passive literal shark, but here he's doing pretty weak and unintelligent fraud.
Dunno, maybe it's me, but he was a cunning bastard, but now he looks like an average asshole.

@N0Mi0 yeah, what a twist to actually try and be part of someone's ruin....maybe the author thought there wasn't enough ushijima on previous arcs? Whatever the reason, if our shady loan shark is involved I'm suspecting the poor foolish yet kinda innocent old lady isn't going to come out unscathed
I would argue that Ushijima has been established as willing to actively fuck up peoples lives if it means they'll seek him out for further loans. He deliberately got the Office Lady addicted to drugs, so if he would conspire to do that he would conspire to have someone make shady investments

Ah, I didn't mean it in a way that he doesn't willingly fuck people's lives up. What I meant is that so far he was built as some kind of a spider, who casts around his nets and seldom goes out of his way to hunt his pray: he has his lackeys for this. To be more precise, I'd expect him to end his own physical interaction by just referring her to the broker, when he not only goes with them, but is portrayed as personally deceiving the woman.
Ah, and I'd argue about him putting that OL on drugs. To me it looked more like the girl gave her drugs on her own, and she's probably a user herself. Granted, Ushijima was interested in OL's fall, but the ruin of his clients would mean no more loans, which is not good. It's just, he didn't really care all that much.
As an aside, as everything about drugs in japanese media, where even yakuza, probably, are generally less exposed to them compared to an average uni student in the west, author probably have never even seen them in person.
