You should really stay away from him. Everything about him screams “a person to avoid.”

What a strange papa.
I’m surprised someone like that exists.
I wonder if he’s trying to get back all the allowance he’s given you so far.
“I give you a monthly allowance and take you out for nice meals every time, so you should at least do that much for me.”
I don’t understand what that’s supposed to mean, either.
That said, it would be frustrating to just leave things as they are, so how about buying a plain hoodie and asking a company with an embroidery machine to make you an original Gucci hoodie?
They may refuse because of copyright issues, but if that happens, I’m sure you could rent an embroidery machine by the hour and make it yourself.
Having the lettering embroidered would look cooler than printing it. In fact, you could even make each letter a different color.
Then wrap it up properly and give it to him as a present. How about that?

Monthly arrangements never seem to lead to anything good, lol.
As for birthday presents, I mean, it’s nice if you get one, right?

Even her birthday present would be on a completely different level...
That much in six months? How does that work?
Does that mean nearly seven figures a month just for dinner dates?
If it’s ¥200,000, she’d already have to have received nearly 100 times that amount...
If you actually go shopping for the present, is the other man supposed to pay?
Would he buy something for you while he’s at it, too?
That’s the only explanation I can think of...
For now, go along to the store, and if he doesn’t pay, just say, “I forgot my wallet.”
Or are you satisfied just hearing him say, “Sure! No problem!”?

So there really are people like that.
I’ve never asked for presents. Sometimes women offer them to me, though—handmade sweets, gifts, and so on. More often than not, they’re an unwelcome favor, but I do appreciate the thought(笑)
I’m not entirely sure what the other person’s intentions are in this case, but if I were you, I’d see it as a de facto negotiation to lower the allowance. Whatever wording they use, that’s what it amounts to. In situations like this, it’s better to figure out what they really mean. If they genuinely think you have no value, things will be difficult. But if they recognize your value and are simply trying to negotiate the terms, you still have a chance.
Not that I’m Mac, but crying can be effective. You can cry because you feel frustrated, or because you don’t know what to do—it doesn’t matter. While you’re crying, observe the other person carefully without letting them notice. If they panic, you’ve got them. But if they remain calm and matter-of-fact, they’ll be a tough opponent.
Good luck. I also think you should have other options. Being overly dependent on one particular client is a risk factor. Use this as an opportunity to work harder at getting more offers.

Is the monthly allowance around ¥200,000? I think anyone who demands a ¥200,000 gift is out of their mind—whether it’s a man asking a woman or a woman asking a man.
I haven’t reached my first birthday since joining the club, so I’ve never received a birthday present.

Are there really papas like that? I think they must be out of their minds.
I’ve only ever received snacks, but even that makes me happy.
