"I came here from Edo. I crossed rivers and crossed mountains. It took a lot of effort to get here."
"Then - you have seen it! Coming here is the most correct choice. That building is bigger than the place where the general lives!"
This beautiful and somewhat familiar-looking geisha looked at the main tower of the rustic city with excitement.
"I can only say that it is indeed a rustic city under Ten Territory. You must know that this place is ruled by Lord Matsudaira, a blood relative of Lord Shogun - but even if you knew it, you would still be surprised!"
"Tamayuyu, Miss Tamamo?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened.
With this appearance and fox ears—could this be Miss Tamamozen who was summoned to this era!?
"Huh? You know about me?"
The fox-eared geisha tilted her head and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Well, however, the title Tamamo-mae is still a bit too exaggerated. If you can, just call me Xiaotama~"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just a poor geisha doing some insignificant busking business in the castle town of this rustic city known as the 'Second Edo'."
"Wow wow...so beautiful..."
Azui's eyes widened and looked at Xiaoyu, his eyes shining.
Girls definitely like beautiful things and want to become more beautiful.
"Ah, so cute!"
Xiaoyu saw the cute Ah Xiu and couldn't help but rub Ah Xiu's face with her hands.
"It's so cute! Children are indeed as cute as this!"
"Here, here are the candies, both for you and the kid on your back."
Xiaoyu took out two candies from her sleeves and put them into Ah Xiu's hand with a sweet smile.
"Wow! Thank you, Geisha-sama!"
Ah Sui is full of surprises.
Today is really great. The samurai-sama introduced me to my sparrow friends, and the geisha-sama even gave me candy!
"Hmm...isn't it really Ms. Tamamo-mae?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head, his tone a little uncertain.
This outfit, these fox ears...no matter how you look at her, she is Miss Tamamoae!
Xiaoyu showed a strange expression.
"Have we met before? Was it at a cocktail party or...forget it, I'm sorry...I have no impression of you at all. Did you make something wrong?"
"But I do feel familiar with the gentleman over there? Why?"
She looked at Zuo Cun with a little suspicion in her eyes.
It feels so familiar, no, I should say...
Such a familiar smell?
Zuocun looked confused.
No, are you familiar with me?
Didn’t I just get summoned to this hellish place a few days ago? What are you familiar with?
"So what's going on? I'm a bit... confused about your conversation?"
There was a hint of wisdom in the smile on Musashi's face.
"Well...it's just that Miss Xiaoyu is very similar to someone I know..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka touched his chin.
It's more than just a resemblance, it's exactly the same! But the other party flatly denies that he is Tamamo-mae...
To be honest, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't figure out whether the other party was Tamamo Mae.
"Oh! Does it look similar to someone you know? This is a great trick! I have to write it down..."
It was obvious that Xiaoyu regarded them as the kind of people who would strike up a conversation in reverse.
"Ah, I'm sorry to go off topic... Anyway, you are wearing exotic clothes and are escorted by two samurai, although one of them is a female samurai, so you must be a wealthy man with a lot of money, right?
"
A flattering smile appeared on Xiaoyu's face, and she approached Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile.
"If you have time, would you like to go to their shop? Gu Gu Gu~"
She imitated the cry of a fox and whispered in Fujimaru Ritsuka's ear.
I just have to write the word "seduce" on my face.
Miyamoto Musashi:......
Anno Zuomura:......
Ah Sui had a strange look on his face.
"Don't add new attributes to yourself now!"
"Well, after all, you seem to want to get to know me. I think it's okay for me to really get to know you, right?"
Xiaoyu said with a sweet smile.
"Anyway, how about you come to my store first and then discuss the specific matters after entering the store?"
The beautiful geisha gently blew Fujimaru Ritsuka's earlobe.
In just one second, Fujimaru Ritsuka's training turned red.
It's not that I'm red and warm, but that I'm shy.
"...What are you going to do?"
Musashi's face already had that awkward yet polite smile.
"...I respect your choice."
Zuo Cun chose to close his eyes.
"Store? What kind of store is it?"
Ah Sui interrupted this strange conversation with a child's voice.
"Um..." Musashi didn't know how to explain to Ah Xiu for a while, and even Zuo Cun scratched his head.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, on the other hand, kept his face red and waved his hands, unable to say a word for a long time.
“It’s a place where you can enjoy fine wine and delicious food while watching the adults playing the piano and dancing.”
Xiaoyu bent down and explained to Ah Xiu with a smile.
"That's the so-called paradise in the world of suffering."
"Heavenly Paradise... Even though I can't understand it, I always feel it's awesome!"
"You'd better not explain..."
Zuo Cun couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Ah Sui towards him.
"...By the way, do you have any delicious dumplings here?"
Musashi's eyes became sharp.
Snapped!
Zuo Cun patted his head.
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Musashi with an unacceptable expression.
"There are children here, Musashi-chan, you..."
What Musashi said was a kind of slang. To be specific, he was asking if there was... that kind of service.
"Ahaha, don't, don't look at me like that. I was just joking, and... I'm really hungry too."
"Ah, could you please lend me a moment...that adult over there..."
A voice came from the side. It sounded a little difficult?
Um?
Musashi looked around him with a confused look on his face, and found that the young lady he thought was beautiful seemed to be calling him.
"Calling me?"
Musashi blinked and pointed at himself.
"Ah, no, I mean that gentleman over there, wearing exotic clothes."
The pretty lady shook her head slightly, and then pointed at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Huh? Are you——Qing Ji?"
"Ah la ah la..."
Qingji showed a surprised expression, and then smiled, extremely beautiful.
"It's obviously the first time we meet, but you can already call me by my name..."
"This is really disappointing..."
Looking at Kiyohime's blushing face, a trace of bad memories came to Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.
