Chapter 59: The Oiran

Originally, Xiao Yuzi was going to get on this ship to the capital and start her life of being sold to the streets.

But Qi Zhen changed all that by reversing time and space through the black Ema.

Because he spent his wallet on the ship, and a quarter of an hour later, the ship that had just been stopped sailed back in the direction of the capital.

Before leaving, Xiao Yuzi also asked him quietly: "Brother, I heard from the adults in the village who have been to the street that there is a very beautiful young lady who lives in the street, is it true?" ”

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It's true." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuzi tilted her head, "So my brother has seen Miss Oiran?" ”

Qi Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "I was just going to see him." ”

"Then I wish my brother all the best."

"Thank you."

When the ship set sail again, Xiao Yuzi, who was standing on the dock, stood tall and kept waving to Qi Yan on the deck, facing the wind, Qi Yan also waved goodbye to the little girl.

He didn't withdraw his hand until the dock in the small fishing village had disappeared from view.

He completely changes the course of the story and changes the trajectory of the fate of an NPC named Ikuko.

Although for the system, the story of the NPC is nothing more than a string of code.

[Due to the fact that you have successfully completed the side quest "Please help Miss Ikuko free", the system has detected that the NPC character "Rift Oiran" has greatly increased your favorability]

The favorability of NPC characters is related to the success rate of using the "NPC Limited Time Appointment Letter", which is very important to Qi Yan.

The wind was strong on the deck, and during the boat, Qi Zhen went to the cabin to take shelter and rest.

Not long after, fine snow flakes floated on the sea, and Qi Yan leaned against the window, watching the white particles fall on the gray and blue sea in winter, on the wet and shaky deck, and his heart was unexpectedly calm.

An indescribable sense of anticipation grew wildly in the depths of the calm, and with such emotions, Qi Yan took a nap in the rickety cabin.

Around evening, the ship docked at the capital pier.

[Countdown to the collapse of the dungeon: 2h]

Qi Ji was lucky, he did not encounter strong winds and waves during the boat today, and it took him less than five hours to reach the capital smoothly.

As soon as he got off the boat, Qi Yan saw a woman dressed as a wandering girl waiting at the pier.

The long-awaited wandering girl also looked at Qi Yan and bowed to him from afar.

Qi Yan had a premonition in his heart, and he walked in the direction of Younu.

When he approached, the wandering girl's eyes flashed with a little surprise, but she politely lowered her gaze and bowed her head slightly, "I would like to ask, how much time is left on your side?" ”

Qi Yan was slightly stunned, but quickly understood, and replied truthfully: "An hour." ”

The wandering girl followed the guy's instructions and came over for questioning.

Of course, the guy knew that he didn't have much time left to stay in the dungeon.

"Then please come with me to Sukuya, Oiran is invited." The wandering girl bowed slightly and issued an invitation.

Behind her, the carriage was ready.

At this moment, the system suddenly issued a warning -

【Warning! Since you triggered the abandoned storyline, the hidden character is coming soon]

【Serious warning! The system detects that the hidden character has a danger factor of A+++++, and it is judged to be the highest level of danger.

Like last time, the system will issue the highest level of warning before meeting the guy.

But Qi Yan didn't care at all, and bowed his head to the waiting wandering girl: "Okay, please lead the way." ”

Soon, Qi Yan got into the carriage to Qi Jiuya.

Lifting the curtain of the car window, Qi Yan looked towards the familiar street.

Today's parade was more lively than he could remember, and at night, the streets were lit up with stalls selling strange knick-knacks, and pedestrians bustling through.

Almost all pedestrians and tourists are discussing one thing: they can see their long-awaited Oiran parade tonight.

Qi Yan turned to the side of the wandering girl: "May I ask if there is an Oiran parade in the street tonight?" ”

The wandering girl nodded, "Yes, so Oiran asks you to come over and help." ”

"Help?" Qi Yan was slightly stunned, "Do I need to do anything?" ”

The wandering girl smiled lightly: "You'll know later." ”

"By the way, this is what Oiran told me to give back to you, so I'll put it on when I get out of the car." As she spoke, the wandering girl handed a pair of "sixteen" masks to Qi Yan.

Qi Yan took the mask and said with a smile: "Okay, I understand." ”

The word "yet" made him smile.

Of course, Qi Zhen remembered that on the bizarre night when he first dreamed of wandering the street, he broke into the Yu House without permission and knocked on the door of the male Oiran-

"My mask is gone, and I see someone wearing it into here."

That's his reasoning at the time.

The male Oiran remembered that meeting and "returned" the "Sixteen" Nonome to him again.

Looks like that guy has a pretty good memory too.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped outside Suhisa's house.

Sukuya is the "Yu-no-ya" of Miss Ikuko's timeline, and it is also the shrine of Koya's timeline.

This building, where all the timelines meet, was originally called "Sukuya" during the Oiran period.

Sukuya... Qi Zhen chanted this name in his heart, and he always felt similar.

Isn't this exactly the homonym of your own name?

- Qi Jiu, Qi Jiu.

Is it a coincidence? Or did that guy do it on purpose?

Qi Yan was not so narcissistic as to think that the other party deliberately changed the name of the verandah because of himself, but he had a hunch that the name was strange.

"Please come inside." The wandering girl led the way in front of Qi Zheng.

The curtain was lifted, and the crimson buildings painted with bizarre ukiyo-e paintings once again entered Qi Yan's field of vision.

It can be said that Yu Zhiwu almost completely follows the deep and heavy style of Qi Jiu House, the only difference is that there are a few more open windows in the lobby of Qi Jiu House, and the lighting is much better than Yu Zhi House, and Qi Ji does not feel depressed when he is in it.

The wandering girl led the faceless Qi Yan through the crimson corridor, and pushed open the paper door of the room at the end: "Please rest here for a while, and I'll prepare tea for you." ”

The wandering girl left temporarily, Qi Yan pushed open the window on the north side of the room, and the white cherry blossoms were instantly swept into the house by the wind, and the petals as white as fine snow stained Qi Yan's body.

As twilight rose, the demon cherry tree that had been burned by Miss Yuko was scorching and blooming in the atrium at this moment.

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment at the white cherry blossoms full of trees, and there was the sound of the shoji door being pushed open behind him.

The wandering girl brought tea and came into the house.

"The Oiran will be dressed up quickly, please use it slowly."

After placing the tea and snacks on the table, the wandering girl bowed and exited the room.

Qi Ji moved to the table, and when he saw the tea in the cup, he was stunned for a moment.

Because this is not tea at all, the scarlet and clear thing in the cup is the blood brew that Miss Yuzi can't forget.

The blood brew that no one can touch in Miss Yuko's mouth is being used by the male oiran to entertain herself at the moment.

Qi Jiu under the mask raised the corners of his lips, and without half a moment's hesitation, he drank the blood brew in the cup.

The sweet and mellow taste diffused between his teeth, Qi Zhen pursed his lips, this time, he tasted the faint cold fragrance after the fishy sweetness, just like the breath that the guy emitted every time he approached.

It seems that tonight, the guy will invite him to the atrium to watch the moon and cherry blossoms.

Suddenly, there was a sound of fine tiles breaking outside the window, Qi Yan seemed to feel something, and quickly turned around, only to see a familiar gray figure jumping into the house from the eaves outside the window, and rushing straight towards Qi Yan's arms.

"Meow meow!"

Qi Yan was ready to welcome the little gray cat, and he caught the cat that jumped into his arms steadily.

"You're here." Qi Ji rubbed its soft head affectionately.

"Meow meow~" The little gray cat raised his face, looking at him coquettishly and expectantly, as if he wanted more kisses and more hugs, of course, it would be better to have a can of dried fish.

"I really can't do anything about your little thing," Qi Jiu did as he wished, exchanged the penultimate can of dried fish and put it in front of the little gray cat, and complained dotingly, "I always feed you like this, in case you raise a gray ball, that guy can't settle accounts with me." ”

"Meow meow~" The little gray cat's head that ate with relish didn't bother to lift it, and only called twice politely to appease Qi Jiu.

"Knock knock—"

After half a cup of tea, there was a knock on the shoji door again, "Sorry to disturb you, Oiran has prepared tonight's costumes for you, and I will send them to you." ”

"Please come in."

Just now, the wandering girl pushed the door into the house, and this time she held a set of red men's tattoos in her hand, and explained, "When you are dressed, I can lead you to the Oiran." With that, she politely exited the room again.

Qi Yan immediately changed into a feather weaving, this set of feather weaving is intricately decorated, and it seems to be a dress for an important occasion.

What does that guy need to do tonight? Qi Yan suddenly looked forward to it.

After changing her clothes, the wandering girl waiting outside the door got up and greeted her: "Please come with me." ”

"Good work." Qi Yan followed the wanderer through the crimson corridor.

After nightfall, the lights in the house were bright, and it was a busy scene, and everyone in the house was too busy to take a break from tonight's Oiran parade.

The guiding girl stopped outside the boudoir at the end of the south-facing corridor, and Qi Yan followed closely behind, standing by the shoji door.

The lamp was lit in the room, and the ambiguous light shrouded Qi Yan through the paper door, and as the light in the room danced, the erotic ukiyo-e painted on the paper door flickered and dimmed, making the thick colors of the painting come to life.

The people in the room seemed to have cut the wick, and after a flickering fire, it became brighter.

The light clearly prints the silhouettes of the figures in the room on the paper doors, overlapping with the bizarre ukiyo-e.

Qi Yan breathed lightly, but his heartbeat was inexplicably faster than before.
