It's also Edo Castle, but it's not in the castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There's a lot of gossip and a dizzy smell of fat here. The deep alleys and the torii of different heights form a strange scene of unevenness but beauty.

It's not yet the cherry blossom season, but this is the only place where the cherry blossom trees are about to bloom and sway in the drizzle. On such a humid and rainy day, the air is still mixed with a hint of sweet and sour fragrance.

This is Yoshiwara Town, which is famous in the Fugetsu area of Edo. Although there is no system called "Yukuo" at this time, it is very close to taking shape. Here, there are many flower streets and there are walls that are isolated from the outside world.

It is one of the most difficult red-light districts to manage.

At any given time, the place will have a poignant beauty and a magical atmosphere that will make you want to linger.

However, in a small whale house deep in a certain flower street in Yoshiwara Town, something boring is happening that does not quite match the beautiful scenery and poignant beauty.

This small whale house is called "Ishimaruya", and it is a small whale house with a common name. The area of the store is not very large, there is only one Oiran who can get it, as well as a few wandering girls and a dozen or so new girls who have not yet graduated.

The owner of this stone pill house is said to be a very young man, and I don't know if he is a man or a woman. But what is actually going on, even the traveling girls in the store do not know.

The mysterious owner of the shop is intrigued by all the wandering girls and newcomers in the shop. However, the owner of the shop has always been very kind to them, and has a reward every month.

Ah, let's get back to business. Today, in this little whale house, something unpleasant happened.

“…… Bring the wine!! ”

This rugged man, who was now making a loud noise with a wine bowl, was Hattori Masasa, the leader of the Iga Kinkokai Association.

But why did he come here?

The irascible and rude man was now drinking in the Ishimaru House, which frightened the maiden who was destined to serve him, and one of the men in the Whale House went out.

"That...... This guest, you are going to bother us a lot. You see, our young ladies are all terrified of you~"

This young man from Ishimaruya is charitable-looking and of ordinary stature. He looked very young, probably not even twenty years old. He joked at Zhengcheng with a smile, hoping to stop Zhengzheng's spilling behavior.

"You go out first~"

The man said this to the wandering girl who was huddled in the corner, trembling, and the wandering girl gave him a grateful look and immediately fled from the terrible guest.

He took the bowl and glanced at the young man, and then continued to drink, talking nonsense in his mouth.

“…… Hey, hey, you kid, come here...... Have a drink with me! ”

Ahh The guy looked helplessly at Zheng Zheng, who kept beckoning him to drink with him, so he thought of it.

Hawkers, forget it, Uncle Ben will accompany you to drink such a drink today, Hattori Hanzo.

A sly smile appeared on the man's face, and he sat down beside him.

"Hey, Motosuke! Bring the wine! ”

"Yes!"

At his beckoning, a young boy immediately carried a jar of wine into the room.

The man poured bowl by bowl of wine and asked him:

"My lord, what's wrong with you today? Drinking so much alcohol will hurt you~"

Drunk, he listened to his words, and suddenly yelled on the table.

“…… Together, those bastards, bastards...... Dare...... Disobey my Hanzo's orders......!! ”

As he spoke, he slammed the bowl to the ground. The man groaned, took a new bowl, and continued to serve him wine.

"Oh, don't be angry, come on, keep drinking~"

Just took the bowl and continued to drink.

"Those bastards...... How dare you, do this...... Unexpectedly, even the Shogun sent someone to teach me...... How dare you report it and go to the general...... I'm going to tear them to pieces!! ”

"That's the case, those guys are really hateful~"

“…… Hmph, also, it's still your kid's eyes on me! ”

Just grabbed the guy's shoulder and slapped it vigorously several times.

"Since these guys are so hateful, why don't you want to cure them~"

The guy endured the pain of being slapped and forced out a smile.

“…… Haha, ha, you kid...... Got an idea! But Uncle Ben has long wanted to treat their group of bastards!! ”

"Oh? I don't know what adults want to do~"

"Hahaha, ha, since I'm still the leader of the Harmony Society, I can torture them to death! The guys...... Do you dare to say half a sentence to me...... Against, yes, I'll kill them one by one!! ”

He was already drunk and didn't know Fang Yuan, so he didn't notice what he said that he shouldn't have said. He was just venting his frustration and anger.

"And...... Those guys still dare to reason with me...... Positive, positive! Who is Zhengzhong?! He's the second man! It's a subordinate! You dare to come out and reason with me!! ”

Angry, he belittled his own brother as worthless.

The man looked at him with interest and continued to flatter:

"Is it the brother of the adult? That's really a big rebellion! As a younger brother, how can you compete with your brother! Your Excellency, you need to deal with these arrogant people! ”

"Yes, yes!! You, you know, the Naga, Chozenji Temple in Yotsuya? Haha, I'm going to ...... those who dare to resist me All sent to hell!! ”

I talked to Zheng for a long time, and finally it was late at night.

The drunken man finally let go of the guy who could hear the callouse in his ears, and staggered out of the stone pill house and walked out of Yoshiwara Town.

It is said that Masa's appearance was seen by the retainers in Edo Castle and reported it to Hidetada. Xiuzhong was very disappointed with his performance, which also laid the foundation for some incidents in the future.

"Ahh

The guy, who was finally freed from the right words, frowned and scratched his ears.

"Well, but I also got good information~"

He snickered a few times, and then said to the wandering girls in the store:

"Ah, everyone, it's hard today, the master said you can rest early today~"

After the ladies had returned to their rooms, the men also returned to their rooms in the attic on the top floor.

"My lord, it's been a hard day."

"Motosuke, this little thing is nothing~"

The boy who greeted him as soon as he entered the house was the shopkeeper's assistant named Akimoto Suke.

"By the way, you are really, my lord, you are obviously the owner of the store, but you have to pretend to be a guy to serve wine to the guests."

Motosuke said with some puzzlement.

"Don't say that, Motosuke. This way you can detect a lot of useful information~"

This young man, who looks charitable and funny every day, laughs slyly.

No one thought that he was the real owner of this "Stone Pill House".
