The comments on the Takamagahara post were almost all positive, and the majority of the commenters were women. The huge cover of the Takamagahara webpage featured a bald, muscular man with open arms, looking benevolent, as if he wanted to embrace all living beings.
It is said that the other party is the treasure of Takamagahara, and among the comments from those women, the most frequent sentiment is that Takamagahara is a place where one can feel the great love of the world.
When Crow saw those posts, he couldn't help but feel disgusted. Isn't a host club just about the mundane things of love between men and women? What's with all this talk about great love? Even Crow, who doesn't really believe in love, felt that this was an insult to the word 'love'.
After all, he was in the underworld, and he had seen plenty of those sordid things. It was just a fig leaf; once you tore off that fig leaf, you would find something utterly disgusting underneath.
That's why Crow reacted so strongly when he learned that Erii had gone to Takamagahara to meet Hayashi. He even worried that Genji would be furious because, in Crow's mind, a host club was a place to seek thrills, where every customer and staff member was twisted and even a little perverted.
This was Crow's true feeling, which is why he was so apprehensive about Erii's behavior. And it was with this prejudice that Crow had always felt very uncomfortable around Lin Ye.
Although Lin Ye's various impressive performances later made Crow look at him with new eyes, the reason for his newfound respect was only for Lin Ye as a person. As for the so-called host club, Crow still held the same view as before. He even thought that Lin Ye had been hiding in the host club for some reason in the past.
Ultimately, what Crow admired was Lin Ye as a person, not the host club in Takamagahara where Lin Ye worked.
As the black Mercedes silently glided to the entrance of Takamagahara, Lin Ye and Erii stepped out of the back seat.
The boy looked up at the neon-lit Takamagahara sign and couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and reflection).
The crow in the passenger seat twitched at the sight. He had felt something was wrong from the beginning, because he knew that his boss, Genjiro, would never have suggested that Lin Ye come to Takamagahara. Only Lin Ye himself wanted to come to this place.
If the other party was merely hiding here from the beginning, how could they possibly feel so sentimental about this place now? Especially considering their current expression of deep emotion.
The crow knew that he had misunderstood Lin Ye before. It wasn't that Lin Ye was hiding in this place for any purpose; it was very likely that he really was working as a gigolo here.
Lin Ye's return here today is likely because he is about to leave Tokyo and Japan, and doesn't know when he will return. So he came here to see the place where he used to work, and even to see his host friends.
Despite the unbelievable thoughts in Crow's mind, and even the changes in Lin Ye's previous image, he said nothing. After all, he was good at assessing the situation. Even Erii had become the girl he loved, and also the beloved brother-in-law of Boss Genji. Since Boss Genji and Erii didn't care at all about Lin Ye going to such a place, how could he, a subordinate, say anything? That would be courting death!
"Eri, let's go inside. The manager should be waiting for us."
Lin Ye naturally took Erii's hand and said with a light smile.
"Um!"
Erii nodded happily.
This scene made the crows behind them twitch their eyes.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Lin Ye was taking his beloved girl to eat some delicious food, but little did they know he was taking her to a male escort club! What kind of bizarre move is this, especially since his beloved girl looked so longing?
"Would you two like to go in as well?"
Before going in, Lin Ye couldn't help but ask the crow and the yaksha.
"No need, no need. Since Boss Genji only asked us to bring you here, we can just wait outside. You and Erii can have fun, as long as you don't miss your boarding time."
Seeing that the Yaksha seemed interested, the crow quickly stepped forward and said something.
It's a joke. If they went in now, and something unpredictable or even indescribable happened, especially in certain areas, then if the boss, Genjiro, blamed them, they would be unable to clear their names no matter what. But if they didn't go in, then as the saying goes, they weren't involved, so ignorance is no excuse.
This is what the crow is thinking at this moment.
However, no matter what Lin Ye thought, he had no idea that the crow was thinking this way at the moment; otherwise, he might have given the crow a proper 'admonition'.
"Then I'll trouble you two to wait here."
"Of course, of course. Then Lord Lin Ye, please go in quickly."
"That's what the crow said enthusiastically."
Lin Ye nodded, and then walked into Takamagahara with Erii.
"Crow, why didn't you let us go in with Lord Lin Ye?"
Yaksha crossed his arms and said, somewhat unsatisfied.
Of course, it wasn't that he had a particular fondness for that kind of thing, but rather that he felt the service at Takamagahara was indeed quite good, especially in terms of beverage service. Besides, being able to go in with Lin Ye was a kind of honor.
So when Yaksha saw that the crow had taken the lead in saying that it would not follow, Yaksha was also somewhat dissatisfied.
The crow pursed its beak. It didn't explain anything to the other party because it knew that the Yaksha's thought process couldn't possibly understand this meaning. Saying too much would only cause the other party to misunderstand. So it simply said nothing, leaned against the Mercedes-Benz, lit a Gentle Seven Star cigarette, and started smoking there, puffing away.
The crow gazed at the misty rain in the distance, lost in thought.
Yaksha was still somewhat dissatisfied, muttering complaints from the side.
After Lin Ye led Erii into Takamagahara, an atmosphere of luxury immediately enveloped them.
The hall was resplendent in gold, with a seamless crystal floor and ancient wooden beams carved with shimmering patterns, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a fairyland. Each male escort was surrounded by numerous female customers, like concubines flanking a king. These "kings" possessed diverse personalities: some were feminine, some domineering, some aloof, and some sunny. In short, no matter what kind of female customer came here, no matter how discerning her taste, she could find someone she liked.
Lin Ye looked on with emotion, as if he had returned to his former home.
When Lin Ye arrived, some female customers couldn't help but look over, their eyes revealing amusement and excitement.
"Hello, did you two make a reservation beforehand?"
An overweight young man wearing a shiny blazer and wide-leg pants walked over.
The other person was overweight, and it looked like their blazer was about to burst.
Lin Ye noticed that the other person had been surrounded by many girls before arriving.
Although the obese young man appeared somewhat unremarkable, one would be shocked to learn his true identity: he was a sumo wrestler, and almost at the yokozuna level, quite well-known throughout Tokyo.
In fact, not long ago, Fujiwara Kansuke had only come here to relax. He was drunk and had wandered into Takamagahara by mistake. Unexpectedly, he received some advice from the manager, Humpback Whale, and immediately decided to become a host. He wanted to give up his personal love and use universal love to protect his fans.
"I'm here to see your store manager, Mr. Humpback Whale."
Lin Ye smiled.
Seeing the unfamiliar face, he guessed that the other person must be new and therefore did not recognize him, so he responded politely.
"You're looking for our store manager? Did you make an appointment? If you didn't, Mr. Humpback Whale probably won't see you."
"Just tell him that Lin Ye came to see him."
Lin Ye couldn't help but say.
He originally intended to use this method to let the humpback whale know that he had arrived.
However, to his surprise, when he said his name, Fujiwara Kansuke looked at him in shock.
The next moment, she pounced on him in ecstasy.
"So you are Lord Lin Ye! I've finally met you!!"
Dangerous!
Lin Ye's eyes widened suddenly, clearly not expecting this situation to occur.
However, the danger he referred to was not that Fujiwara Kansuke's attack was too much for him to handle, but rather that Erii almost couldn't hold back her temper when the opponent pounced on her.
At this critical moment, he had no choice but to kick the other person away. The huge body rolled several times in mid-air before landing.
As expected of a former sumo wrestler, even after being kicked, he was still lively and energetic. However, it was precisely because of this unexpected turn of events that Fujiwara Kansuke came to his senses.
"Aye!"
Attracted by the commotion, the humpback whale came out, its face filled with ecstasy, and at that moment, the other whale pounced on it as well.
Lin Ye slapped his forehead helplessly and kicked back.

"Ladies and angels! I have some exciting news to announce: Kenshin is back! Open your eyes wide and look where the spotlight is shining, Kenshin is there waiting for us!"
The humpback whale was also tough and resilient. After being kicked away by Lin Ye, it stood up again with lightning speed.
Moreover, a microphone appeared in the other person's hand at some point, and after a few quick steps, they sprinted across the dance floor in a sliding knee motion.
Amidst the enthusiastic and excited cheers of the humpback whale, the bright white spotlight instantly shone on Lin Ye.
Everyone in the room turned to look at that moment, and they couldn't help but get excited, especially the female customers.
As for Lin Ye's portrayal of Kenshin at the host club, it was a direct hit to the girls' hearts, leaving a heavy blow to their rosy cheeks.
Especially after Kenshin's intense sword duel with a suspected yakuza boss, his image reached its peak, leaving a deep impression on all the female customers present. Not only that, but those female customers also recorded that scene and showed it to more of their friends.
They all knew what Kenshin looked like, and at this moment they also saw Lin Ye's appearance clearly.
Lin Ye is the swordsman they have always longed for.
Excited screams rang out. Among them were female customers who had been fortunate enough to witness Lin Ye's sword duel, as well as some female customers who had heard rumors and had a deep impression of Lin Ye.
Especially those female customers who had only visited Takamagahara a few times, most of them came to Takamagahara because of the character Kenshin played by Lin Ye. It was so shocking and deeply moving that, at the invitation of their best friends, they couldn't suppress their excitement and came to Takamagahara, hoping to see Kenshin, even if it was just a glimpse of him.
Although the girls had been somewhat disappointed these past few days because they hadn't seen Lin Ye, the shopkeeper, Humpback Whale, had promised them that one day they would see Kenshin. They never expected that this happiness would come so suddenly, and that they would actually see Kenshin at this moment.
As the spotlight shone down on him, Lin Ye instinctively covered his eyes with his hand, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
He could also sense the excitement of the girls present, as well as the restless aura emanating from them.
Lin Ye couldn't help but mentally complain about the store manager, Humpback Whale. Of course, he knew why Humpback Whale was so excited; it was all to create hype for him.
The so-called "hype" was actually a promotion for Takamagahara. After all, Kenshin, played by Lin Ye, was Takamagahara's biggest brand. So, the store manager, Humpback Whale, was shouting so passionately because he wanted to make that brand shine again and imprint it in the hearts of the girls present, thereby creating a huge popularity for Takamagahara.
Actually, you can't entirely blame the humpback whale; it's just that it's starting to run into financial difficulties again.
Although Lin Ye had intervened several times before, distributing cash from the Snake Clan to the Humpback Whale, it was merely a temporary solution. Everything in Takamagahara was extremely luxurious, a principle the Humpback Whale had always upheld. He would rather be impoverished himself than allow his guests to lack the highest level of treatment. Therefore, the money Lin Ye provided wasn't embezzled by the Humpback Whale; it was entirely spent within Takamagahara.
As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a
Only when Takamagahara's reputation grows can it attract more customers. And once there are more customers, it can support the various operations of Takamagahara. Therefore, Humpback Whale understands this principle better than anyone else, and he will not let go of any opportunity. For example, when Lin Ye appeared here, Humpback Whale had already seen this scene. He was now shouting enthusiastically. It was all intentional. He wanted all the female customers to know that Kenshin had come here again. Kenshin might even become a regular in Takamagahara. No one knows when Kenshin will come again, but the only thing that is certain is that he will definitely appear here again. In this way, many female customers will come from far and wide, just to meet Kenshin in Takamagahara.
"Kenshin! Kenshin! Kenshin!!!"
The girls let out excited shouts, their legs were tight, and they all seemed to have reached a climax.
Even Lin Ye felt a chill run down his spine. He even wondered if these girls would rush over at any moment. No, some girls were already rushing towards him.
"not good!"
Lin Ye's heart tightened. He wasn't afraid of the girls' impact; he was mainly worried that if Erii lost her temper, these excited girls might be beheaded in an instant.
"Eri, leave them to me."
Lin Ye said softly.
He first patted Erii's hand, essentially reassuring the girl, then reached out and pressed his hand against the long sword at his side, his body lowered, ready to unleash that earth-shattering slash at any moment.
He pushed the long sword an inch away with his thumb, and a clanging sound rang out, more like a thunderclap exploding in Takamagahara. Lin Ye's dashing and awe-inspiring aura brought the excited girls back to their senses.
They could sense that Lin Ye's aura was not feigned, but rather a genuine aura emanating from his very bones. His aura was extremely cold and stern, like a normal person seeing a lion or tiger in the mountains. A single glance from the lion or tiger could terrify tourists, causing them to run away in fear. This was a terrifying presence, and no matter the situation, that soul-deep sense of dread was genuine and beyond doubt.
Just as everyone was stunned by Lin Ye's dashing and imposing aura, the store manager, Humpback Whale, seized the opportunity.
