Sauichiro: rebuilding Ashina from the obliteration of the pillar

Chapter 21
Yoshihara, Flower Street.

Just like the auspiciousness implied by its name, on the surface, Hana Street is indeed the most prosperous area in Tokyo. Except for a little time to rest in the morning, most of the time it is full of traffic and people.

In fact, this is not a street in the ordinary sense, but a special area enclosed, like a theme park with people as toys.

Here, everyone is either pleasing or being pleased by others.

The laughter and the sound of the piano are almost never cut off, so that all misfortunes can be temporarily buried.

Among them, several shops near the avenue are the most lively.

Those who come and go here are not the rich and wealthy, but ministers from various countries, and sometimes even cabinet ministers will hold banquets here.

The geisha here are different from other places, and almost all of them possess unique skills.

If you are proficient in Wuqin scented tea, you will be flocked by high-ranking guests; if you are proficient in two, you will have an endless stream of guests; Become the uncrowned king of geishas.

Even if the oirans go out to meet distinguished guests, there will be a long line behind them, just like the line of daimyo in the Edo period, which can be called full of pomp.

However, every industry has a leader.

The three stores that owned Oiran opened next to the boulevard, so they naturally made a lot of money, but this also made other stores near them miserable.

No, news suddenly came out the day before yesterday——

In the Edo period, there were many old Guanyueya, an oiran shop, but due to poor management, it has been sold out.

Generally speaking, such a big deal will definitely take a long time to negotiate and bargain.

But the boss of Moon Watch House dismissed the geisha almost overnight, and kindly compensated them, and introduced them to work in another house to make a living.

Then, even the original furniture was emptied and taken away, which can be said to be swift and resolute.

Just when everyone wanted to know which pick-up man was going to make his debut, the decoration workers had already hung up the new signboard.It's also odd that signs are usually put up last.

And this sign is also very special.

Because this store is not the new elegance.

It's Ashina's glowing dim sum shop.

In Yoshiwara, where even ordinary traveling girls can write a good haiku to please customers, this name has no cultural connotation at all, just like a name that a countryman said casually.

Besides, opening a dim sum shop next to Yoshihara Avenue is a hopeless thing——

An oiran can earn thousands of yen in a few hours. How can such a shop not hire a good chef?They even have many specialty dishes, which are delicacies handed down from generation to generation.

You know, the food and wine here are also sky-high compared to ordinary places.

A small dim sum shop, can it be possible to make some tricks here.

Besides, if you want to buy such a big old store, you can do it with more than [-] to [-] yen. When will you be able to get back your money by selling snacks?
almost impossible.

Ever since, with the help of caring people, this unopened dim sum shop immediately became the laughing stock of Yoshihara.

The shop owner who has not met yet becomes what they call a fool.

But they don't know that every time they mention the word "Wei Ming", they are sending reputation points to Xianichiro.

In this way, a week passed, and the decoration was finally completed.

The Guanyue Building with a three-storied tower looks completely different from the surrounding Fengyue places after a simple arrangement. Generally speaking, it is quite simple and elegant, with less fireworks, as if there is a torii gate to enclose it. Isolated from the shops outside, it has become a pure land beside this avenue.

A few days later, the decoration workers and furniture dealers all left, and finally two men came and opened the store door, but they didn't put up the business sign, just bowed and waited at the door.

This also attracted the attention of the prostitutes and geisha standing in the surrounding attics.

Anyway, it's still morning, and they have plenty of time to watch the excitement.

"Tell me, what kind of person is the boss here?"

"Opening a snack shop in this kind of place should be the prodigal son of a rich family."

"Although people are a bit stupid, but if you have money, you should move around more. Didn't you say that you get the moon first if you are close to the water?"

"I would like to taste the taste of dim sum."

"Why is it called a luminous snack shop? Could it really be luminous?"

"How is it possible! It should be described as dim sum is so delicious, it looks like it's glowing!"

"It's because you always want to eat that you can't become the oiran!
"..."

The girls chirped and chatted.

Not long after, Yoshihara's huge arch that prevented the girls from escaping slowly opened, and a black car drove in slowly.

Cars are a real rarity in Japan in this era. The price of a car is enough to buy an ordinary geisha hall.

Many ambitious girls turn red in the eyes in an instant. Such rich people can easily change their fate.

Just when the girls thought that a distinguished guest was coming and planned to perform hard to attract the attention of the other party, they saw that the car stopped at the door of the dim sum shop.

Then, a one-eyed dragon in a luxurious kimono walked out of the shop, the ornaments on his body jingling.

Everyone thought he was the boss here, but Cyclops smiled all over his face, hurried to the side of the car, bowed his body and opened the rear door.

"Master Genichiro."

Facing him was Genichiro's cold eyes.

If it weren't for the stable reputation points he gained every day these days, he would have wished to poke a hole in the mountain.

Anayama didn't notice anything wrong, thinking it was Genichiro's usual expression.

After Genichiro got out of the car, he shook his haori, looked around with his brows pressed down, and the girls who were looking at him backed away or even avoided their eyes, and they all fell silent.

[I said, what is the matter with so many reputation points every day...]

[So it was brought here for me! 】

After roughly understanding the environment here, Genichiro frowned helplessly, then leaned down and said to the car: "Kuro, come out first."

"it is good."

Immediately afterwards, a young man with fair complexion, who seemed to be surrounded by faint light, stepped out of the car. Looking at his face and posture, he had a sense of innate dignity. complement each other.

Thanks to their hairstyles and their age, the two really do look like brothers.

Seeing this, Cyclops Longxueshan hurriedly bowed to Jiulang, "Son of God."

"There is no Shenlong here, please don't call me Shenzi anymore."

Although Jiulang's tone was gentle, there was a flash of firmness in his eyes, "Jiulang is fine."

"Okay, Mr. Kuro."

Xueshan is just a businessman, and he doesn't know much about Weiming's past, and Shenlong is too far away from him.He will do what the adults say, and he will never go wrong.

Then, Kuro also raised his head to look around the surrounding environment, and then turned his head to meet Genichiro's gaze.

"Xianichiro... brother, shall we live here from now on?"

By implication, how did you find such a place?
Anayama hurriedly said: "Lord Kuro, I am looking for a place similar to Weiming in Tokyo. I hope it can alleviate the homesickness of the two of you. Until I heard that there is a three-story moon-watching building here. , actually lived with you, Mr. Jiulang..."

"To shut up!"

Xianichiro scolded directly, "Where is Weiming's Guanyue Tower?"
That's where he imprisoned Kuro!

In order to prevent Jiulang from escaping, he was locked in a wooden cage in the house at night.

There, Kuro couldn't do anything except read. It can be said that life was very difficult.

He managed to appease the Jiulang (absolutely immortal ending) summoned from Huangquan, why don't you open which pot and which pot to carry?

An embarrassing expression appeared on Xueshan's face, and he quickly lowered his head, not knowing what taboo he had committed.

He was looking for it exactly according to Genichiro's request.

People come and go, there are big people coming and going, and it can be lived in. All the conditions mentioned by Genichiro are met here.

And don't women prefer dim sum?
Since you have opened a shop, you always want to make money!
Moreover, living in such a place is every man's dream. Who doesn't want to open and close their eyes every day, with beautiful women as their companions?
He didn't know what was wrong with him.

Regardless, in the end it was Jiulang who rescued him.

"It's okay, Brother Genichiro, as he said, I always feel nostalgic when I come here."

Looking at the obviously taller tower at the back, Kuro seems to think of the tall tower dedicated to the mountain god (Mistja) deep in the bamboo forest of Hirata's house, which is probably the only building that was not affected by the fire.

Xianichiro's face also warmed up a little, and he told Anayama: "Give the car... the driver to go back. I have something to say when everyone is here."

Anayama hurriedly answered "Yes", while Genichiro and Kuro entered the gate one after the other, and the two men outside the gate followed and quickly closed the gate.

There was an explosion in the attic, as if a thousand flies were buzzing.

"Wow, that older kid's eyes are too scary, it feels like he wants to burn this place down!"

"It's fierce, I hate it to death."

"Where is it annoying, just like the ancient warriors in the novel, with extraordinary bearing!"

"A samurai wants to shave off the top of his head..."

"That small one is not ordinary, it looks like a child of a big family."

"So, who is that one-eyed man? Seeing that he is dressed so luxuriously, he still has to salute those two children."

"I don't know, I don't know! When they open, let's go and have a taste."

While they were chattering, there were two figures on the third floor of a store called Kyogokuya not far away, looking out through the narrow slits of the windows.

Among them, the younger girl has a pair of beautiful pomegranate red eyes. It is the girl Yuanzi who met on Jiyingzhong Road before, and she is looking thoughtful at this time.

And the other woman looked a little older, but her eyes were full of contempt when she looked outside, as if nothing in the world could catch her eyes.

"These women are really ugly to death. They are still chattering all day long, and they don't let people sleep well during the day."

When Yuanzi heard this, he suddenly looked over at the older woman, who immediately knelt down in shock, "My lord..."

In the dimly lit room, those two red eyes had become the biggest light source, looking emotionless, cold and frightening.

"Fakuji, coming from Kyoto to Tokyo, are you still used to it?"

The red-eyed girl put her right hand on Luo Ji's head, and gently rubbed it like petting a puppy, "I heard that you killed another water column in Kyoto. You did a good job."

"It's just a pillar, I will kill more pillars for my lord!"

Luo Ji hid the pride in her heart and didn't even dare to think about it, because she knew that this lord could read her heart.

"No matter how you say it, from Nara, Osaka to Kyoto, the Demon Slayer Squad should suspect that there are geisha in the mix."

Although Yuanzi's tone was gentle, he didn't mean to discuss at all, "Be careful, don't make it too obvious."

Hearing that the lord did not mean to blame, Luo Ji raised her head, but at this time her appearance had changed drastically.

In addition to the weird patterns on her face that appeared out of thin air, there were strange Chinese characters in her eyes.

Among them, "Shangxian" is written on the left eye, and "Lu" is written on the right eye.

Winding Six!

She is the last ghost in the twelve ghost months, Luo Ji.

For many years, Fallen Princess has been lurking among humans in the form of a geisha.

Every time she went to a place, Luo Ji would take shelter in the local Fengyue place, and would not move to the next place until she had eaten up all the good-looking people nearby.

Now, this is the third time she has moved to Tokyo.

After 40 years, Luo Ji discovered that the Kyogoku House, which she was so popular in those years, has actually declined.

So Luo Ji decided to join Kyogokuya again, and rely on her beauty to become the oiran again!In this way, it is enough to prove her strength.

Because of her outstanding image, the boss of course will not waste money and make her a low-level playgirl, but plans to spend a lot of money and thought to train her, so that Kyogokuya can also become a famous store with oirans.

In this way, Luo Ji stayed in Tokyo for almost a month.

But I didn't expect this adult to take the initiative to visit her.

"Don't be nervous, I have some extra tasks for you."

Yuanzi walked to the gap in the window and looked at Weiming's luminous pastry shop diagonally opposite, "Usually you go to buy more dim sum there, and find out who lives there."

"Ok?"

Luo Ji showed a curious expression, "Are those people important just now?"

Yuanzi's tone suddenly turned cold, "Are you asking me to explain to you?"

Luo Ji panicked, and was suddenly pushed by a strange force from behind, and knocked her head on the ground with a slap, "I'm sorry! I will do my best in a while, and I will definitely complete the task of adults!"

Humph.

Yuanzi likes to watch other people kneel down and beg her.

"The boy opposite, this is not the first time I've seen him."

Sonoko tapped the twins lightly with his fingertips, but made deep nail marks one after another on the wood, "The last time I saw him, he was holding a sun wheel knife in his hand, but his eyes were the same as mine. Same, blood red. I sent other ghosts to follow him for a few days, and found out that he is not a member of the Ghost Killing Squad.”

"And the taste of his blood is also very strange. It doesn't look like a human or a ghost..."

Yuanzi briefly explained the reason why she assigned the task to Luo Ji, but the real thought in her heart was that she was afraid that there would be another ghost king similar to herself in the world.

"The things on my side have not been finished yet, so I need you to inquire about the situation."

"Remember that if you find something strange, you must report it to me, and don't act without authorization, do you understand?"

"Yes!"
