I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

Ten minutes later, Chihu 2-chome, Yoshiwara red light district.

On the dark road, Sousuke Araki and Abeji walked behind Junko Kato, looking at the surrounding streets.

"Hey, Zong...Miss Kato, is there really a shrine in the direction we're going?"

The ambiguous neon lights of the bubble bath shops on both sides of the road and all kinds of explosive light box posters, Junko Kato walking in front of him with a swaying waist, and Abe Temple, a cold face with double knives on his waist, give Araki Sosuke a sense of being with him. The illusion of a bodyguard, a girl who was brought into a secret shop by a girl who was picking up customers, and a high-stakes customer who was about to enjoy the "Emperor's Package".

"Don't worry, they won't sell you. Yoshihara Shrine was originally built in the westernmost position of Yoshihara Yuguo..."

Junko Kato, who was walking in front, explained to the two without looking back.

The original city walls and moats of Yoshihara Yuguo have been demolished and rebuilt many times, and they have already become ordinary streets, and ordinary people can't see the clues at all.

It can only be seen on the tour map that the rectangle enclosing several streets from Edo-cho 1-chome and 2-chome to Jing-cho 1-chome and 2-chome, as well as Jiaocho, Yangyacho and Shiheigou, was originally owned by Yoshihara Yuguo. area within the city walls.

However, the area currently reserved to allow the operation of custom industries has already shrunk to less than one-tenth of the original Yoshihara Yuguo.

Soon, under the leadership of Junko Kato, the three passed through the heart-pounding pink area and came to a quiet and ordinary street.

"Perhaps it's because of the resentment of the miserable life of a large number of travel girls. Since its establishment, Yoshihara Yuguo has been a troubled area..."

A wisp of white water vapor in the early morning filled the road like smoke, which complemented Junko Kato's low words.

"From the Edo period to the present, Yoshihara Yuguo, which is mainly a wooden building, has suffered many fires... In addition, in the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Tokyo Air Raid, Yoshihara Yuguo was completely burned down twice. "

Because the buildings in the Edo period were mainly made of wood, and the fire prevention awareness and facilities were also extremely unsound, fires have been nicknamed "Edo Famous Things" since ancient times.

Of course, there is also another metaphysical version of the explanation, saying that Edo was originally a land of "fire and water shortage".

However, with the establishment of various fire-fighting organizations such as daimyo and town fire, and the popularization of fire-fighting facilities such as "Dragon Spit Water", "Genban Bucket", "Fire Extermination" and "Dote", from Edo to Tokyo, the Instead, the city is "burning more and more prosperous" in the fires of various sizes.

Even after each fire, the reconstructed area will be more prosperous and lively.

Even the current commercial center, Ginza, was completely destroyed in the fire, and the government decided to build a new commercial center there.

"Every time a disaster occurs, in Yoshihara Yuguo, surrounded by water on three sides and with only one closed gate, the trapped girls and guests often have nowhere to escape, and can only struggle desperately to die in the thick smoke and flames. …”

Halfway through, Junko Kato suddenly stopped, took out her phone and glanced at it.

"The shrine I'm talking about is at the end of this road, it's coming soon..."

Araki Sousuke glanced sharply and found that she seemed to be confirming the location through the navigation app.

It seems that it is not so familiar with boasting...

"Yoshihara Shrine was built to pay homage to the countless souls of Yoshihara Yuguo who died in the disaster."

As if responding to Junko Kato's words, a gray-white torii gate appeared at the end of the street corner under the darkness.

The torii beams, the white lanterns hanging below, as well as the stone monuments erected on the side, all have the words "Yoshihara Shrine" written in large blood-red characters.

On the side of the torii gate, there is also a support tower with the inscription "Memorial of the Great Kanto Earthquake".

Going over the access road at the rear is the main hall of a small shrine with green roof, red beams and glazed flying tiles.

Although the scale is not large, there is a simple and delicate atmosphere everywhere.

"Yoshihara Shrine, is dedicated to one of the 'Seven Lucky Gods of Asakusa', Princess Ichigoshima, Benzaiten, who is in charge of wealth, knowledge and skills..."

Junko Kato, dressed in a black kimono, stood beside the dimly lit shrine under the night, and bowed to the torii in the eleventh ceremony, with a holy and devout face.

"However, like most shrines in Tokyo, this place has long cut off the inheritance of spiritual power and has become a pure commercial shrine."

"Let's go, let's see if there is another 'Yoshihara Token' enshrined in this shrine."

"Hmph, there may be danger inside. As the leader of tonight's operation, I order you to stand by at the rear..."

Before she could finish speaking, Araki Sousuke and Abeji, who had been "lonely and unbearable" along the way, had already squeezed their shoulders and pushed each other to enter the torii gate first.

"Wait... Don't you think that the fog tonight is a little too big?"

Junko Kato, who was left behind by them, looked around with a pair of winks, and her expression suddenly became a little complicated.

The white fog in the early morning that could be seen everywhere, for some reason, has become so thick that people can't see the surrounding street scene.

What's even more strange is that wherever Araki Sosuke passes, the white fog disappears, showing a passage that is one person wide.

"not good……"

When Kato Junko turned around again, the torii gate and the shrine that were in front of her had disappeared.

In her line of sight, there was nothing but the thick white mist, and it was difficult to discern her position for a while.

"Hmph, as an instructor, shouldn't you sit at the rear to command the overall situation and let me, a 'apprentice', hone your spirit removal skills?"

"Ugh, damn..."

Below the torii, the tall Araki Sousuke, with Godzilla-like strange power, flew the "thin" Abe Temple directly above the torii, and passed under the torii one step ahead.

"Hehehe~www.readwn.com~ Xiaobailian, you want to compare your strength with me, I'm afraid you've forgotten how you lost the last few times... ahhh, what about people?"

When Araki Sosuke turned his head proudly to show off, he realized that Abeji and Junko Kato, who should have followed behind him, had all disappeared.

"Abe Temple? Miss Kato?"

"These two guys, could it be that they couldn't help themselves and took the opportunity to elope to the hotel to 'learn skills'? 』

While teasing, Araki Sosuke directly lifted the blindfold on his forehead and looked at the surrounding situation vigilantly.

Because, no matter how good Abe Temple is, it is impossible for him to disappear in front of his eyes in an instant.

Through the flirtatious golden pupil of his left eye, the wisps of white mist that originally lingered around the shrine turned a strange blood color.

Those blood-colored mists, as soon as they touched his body, condensed into ordinary dew and soaked into his robes.

And the source of the blood-colored mist that was constantly moving towards the surroundings was the Yoshihara Shrine in front of him.
