Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 112 Return Gift and Compensation

After leaving the restaurant, Yoshikawa contacted the hotel, and the other party said that the room has been withdrawn, and he can go to check in now.

By this time, she was not so anxious.

"Anyway, you can check in before three o'clock in the afternoon... and it will take time to tidy up the room. Let's go back from Hanami Koji."

"Okay." Akane Kirino first agreed.

To fill his stomach, Soya would agree to anything, not to mention walking back to the hotel from Hanami Koji, which would take a little longer.

They were in Gion Kobu at this time, and they could already see the long crowd over there before they reached Hanami Koji.

"As a local, you can definitely come to Kyoto after the Golden Week." Soya looked back at the three girls who shrank behind him. "At that time, it will be easier to book hotel rooms."

"Soya said the opposite."

Yoshikawa walked at the back, supporting Akane Kirino's shoulder, and Akane Kirino supported Asagiri.

"I came to Kyoto because I wanted to find something to do during Golden Week, not because I wanted to come to Kyoto so I chose this time."

Soya just mentioned it casually, then turned around again.

A few people continued to walk forward, and a tall guild hall appeared on the side of the road, which could be seen from a distance.

"This is the Yaei Kaikan, which is Gion Corner." Yoshikawa said, "There are Kyobu, Ikebana, Gagaku and Kyogen performances inside, do you want to go in and see?"

A car was parked at the entrance of the singing and dancing practice hall next to the hall, and several geisha with pink faces and red lips got out of the car and swayed into it.

"Watching traditional performances as soon as you have a full meal, you will fall asleep."

"Ah, that's true..."

After stopping for a while, Soya was about to leave when another geisha walked up to him.

She wears Shimada's hair in a bun, and the kimono on her body hangs down and is extremely gorgeous. It is also different from ordinary kimonos, for example, the collar is wide open, so that the neck that is painted as white as her face is completely exposed.

The beauty as white as porcelain also noticed his gaze, pursed her lips and smiled, her steps remained unchanged.

As she passed by, she suddenly stopped.

Soya and the three girls behind him also stopped.

"..."

Akane Kirino and Yoshikawa stared blankly, holding their breath unconsciously. This was the first time for them to observe a geisha so closely.

And she only looked at the petite girl in front of them, with a bit of surprise on her face, and then she saluted suddenly.

"Miss Ling... You haven't been here for a long time."

Being watched by several people at the same time, Chao Wuling looked calm and nodded to her.

"There will be a performance between me and Chichiko, will Miss Ling come to the club?"

"Do not."

"Okay, I know."

The geisha saluted again, and also nodded to the few people who were walking with Zhao Wuling, then turned and left, swaying towards the singing and dancing practice field not far away.

"Who?"

Soya asked, Kirino Akane and Yoshikawa also looked over.

"Guangyue."

Zhao Wuling looked at him, "The geisha in the guild hall dances beautifully and plays the shamisen well. When the teacher is having fun in Gion, he will occasionally let Kozuki accompany him."

"..."

That one is pretty good at playing.

Soya didn't continue to ask, but the other two girls were aroused.

Except for the part related to Ju Tianzi, Zhao Wuling knew everything, and even popularized the history she had seen with her own eyes for them.

"...In the earliest days, all geisha were men. It was not until the Baoli period that the first female geisha appeared."

"Eh--"

The Hanami path is paved with blue stone slabs, and the ancient buildings of the Edo period on both sides maintain a solemn and quiet amidst the bustle.

During the walk, Soya noticed that the red lanterns outside several restaurants were marked with the word "maiko".For this oldest flower street in Japan, it might be more atmospheric to come here at night, he thought to himself.

Going out of the Hanami path, it is the four paths when several people came.

Continue to walk to the hotel, Yoshikawa finished the check-in procedures, and took the three of them to the room to have a look.

Their destination tonight is a large single room, simple and elegant, worthy of the expensive fee.A low table, a few cushions, a few wooden lanterns in the corner, and a quiet courtyard outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"At night, Soya should sleep here."

Yoshikawa walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, and pointed to the other side of the low table, "Akane and I still have Bell, and we sleep over there."

"If it weren't for the fact that you can only book one room...sleeping with three beauties, it would be cheaper for you."

Soya laughed, "Thank you so much."

"But when changing clothes, Soya has to go out."

"of course."

Several people rested briefly in the room.

Sitting on a cushion, Akane Kirino picked up another piece and held it in her hand.Looking at the two standing by the window, she felt a little distressed.

What is the so-called atmosphere of love?
Isn't it the same as usual?

After having lunch and successfully checking in at the hotel, the three of them had some consensus on the arrangements for the afternoon, but there were also quite a few differences.

First the part that comes to consensus:

They live in neighboring prefectures, and besides Soya, they are all locals. They are not tourists who have just arrived and stayed for a short time. Even if they want to visit the scenic spots in Kyoto, they can choose other rest days when there are few people. There is no need to be embarrassed at this time Own.

The differences between them also stem from this part of the consensus.

Soya: "I think those shopping malls in Shijo Kawaramachi can also be included."

Yoshikawa Hongko: "No."

Kirino Akane: "No!"

They only agree with the truths that are beneficial to them, and they draw Zhao Wuling, who is silent, into their camp, and Soya is defeated by a huge disadvantage.

He proposed to split up instead, but was rejected by the two as expected, and the reasons given were even better than nothing.

"Since we came out together, of course we have to act together!"

After Soya compromised, the two unabashedly set their first destination as Takashimaya Department Store.

It is also convenient to go in the past. Go back the same way they came, cross the Kamo River from the Shijo Bridge, and the Shijo Kawaramachi is on the other side.

After leaving the hotel and walking all the way to the Shijo Bridge, Soya glanced back and said goodbye to the Gion Minamiza Kabuki Theater standing on the banks of the Kamogawa River.

Zhao Wuling followed and told him that when the South Tower was first completed 400 years ago, Emperor Tachibana planned to burn it down.

"……why?"

"It's an eyesore."

It's just that 200 years later, the Tachibana Emperor went to Gion Flower Street to eat, drink and have fun, and the southern seat became the place where she must stay.

The time span is as long as 200 years, and there is no way to criticize the moodiness.

Cross the bridge to Kawaramachi, the most prosperous business district in Kyoto, surrounded by department stores, including Takashimaya, where Akane Kirino and Yoshikawa are going;

Shinkyogoku Shopping Street is only one step away from here, and it became the choice of the next stop for the two.

The two girls walked around with great interest, and the place they passed was not just the women's section.Zong Gu followed behind, looking at all kinds of shops and all kinds of passers-by, it was not so boring;

Occasionally when he stopped outside a certain shop, Yoshikawa and Kirino Akane would also wait by the side, or simply watch with him, they were interested in everything.

After wandering around like this for most of the afternoon, the sky was getting late, and both of them had gained something.

In the shopping street of Shinkyogoku, Akane Kirino chose a new bento box for Yoshikawa; in return, Yoshikawa chose a braided hair rope for her.

And Soya was also reminded by this, and decided to give Kirino Akane something to hang around his neck as compensation for not returning the amulet for a long time—and to save her from always coming to touch his chest.

He just walked around a few shopping malls, but he never saw a place selling amulets, so his plan could only float in the air for the time being.Until he and Akane Kirino squeezed into the elevator going downstairs, while Yoshikawa and Asagiri were isolated a few meters away by the sudden rush of people.

"Ling and I are going to take the escalator, see you downstairs!"

"Uh-huh!"

The elevator fell to the ground first.

The elevator door opened, and seeing the jewelry counter not far away, Soya suddenly had a new idea.

Seeing him go straight forward as soon as he got out of the elevator, Akane Kirino followed immediately.

But when he came to the jewelry counter and picked out a necklace for her to try on, she subconsciously took a step back.

"……no."
