Crossover Anime: How Did I Become Iruma-kun?

"Hmm," Iruma tapped his fingers on the table, seemingly pondering something: "Why would you do that?"

"Sorry, never mind what I said."

Asking someone such a stupid question as why they went to be paraded through the streets is like rubbing salt into a wound.

Iruma took another sip of tea: "You guys, can you tell me how you determine the top courtesan?"

Li Xia was taken aback: "You want to know?"

"The process of choosing the courtesan."

"I see."

"To meet the courtesan, a grand banquet must be held at the Tokitoya for the first time, but even then, you may not be able to see her. Even if you do, you can only catch a glimpse of her from afar."

"Only at the second grand banquet can we see the courtesan, but we cannot speak, we can only answer simple questions, yes or no."

"Only on the third meeting is it considered an acceptance of the guest, and only then will the courtesan appear on the Courtesan Road to greet the guest in a high-profile and glamorous manner."

After listening to the other party's detailed explanation, Iruma nodded thoughtfully.

"Weren't you just in the courtesan's path?"

“That’s right.” Li Xia nodded slowly.

"Then why didn't we see that guest?"

Iruma was curious and puzzled by this. He had not revealed any identity or wealth, yet he was able to see the other party directly, which showed how strange it was.

Li Xia smiled gently: "Perhaps the madam saw that you are extraordinary, young master, and dared not restrain you too much."

"So what harm is there in that guest waiting a little longer?"

Iruma nodded: "Is that so? I didn't expect there to be so many rules. This is really interesting."

"Is this your first time visiting the city, young master?"

"Yes."

Seeing that the other party admitted it, Li Xia became even more certain that the man in front of her was definitely not there for sightseeing, but probably had something to do.

However, Iruma's mind was not on this at the moment, but on how to make arrangements.

After thinking for a moment, he leaned against the table, resting his chin on his hand: "So, how much money do you want to ransom them?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xia was stunned, but only stunned for a moment before saying, "If it's about redeeming someone, like my daughter, it would require one hundred million."

Only 100 million?

Iruma remained completely unfazed by this, his composure reaching its peak.

If he were still an ordinary person, upon hearing this staggering amount, he would definitely retreat to a distance of eight hundred miles.

How mentally unstable must one be to spend so much money just to make someone laugh?!

Is this what it means to be rich?

"Young master." At that moment, the madam's voice came from outside the screen.

Iruma's cold gaze shifted: "What is it?"

The madam outside the door asked respectfully, "May I ask what kind of drinks the young master would like?"

Oh, I almost forgot, this place sells alcohol.

Iruma brought back the fox mask: "Come in."

"Thank you very much." Only then did the madam cautiously enter.

What kinds of drinks are available?

"This shop has most of the famous wines available. Just see which ones the young master needs."

Upon hearing this, Iruma's face was full of disdain, and his voice was extremely cold: "Then I'll just say one thing."

"Huh?" The madam's heart skipped a beat, wondering if she had said something that displeased the other party.

"Go out and tell them that I'll pay for everything tonight."

"Huh?!" The madam and the others were stunned and speechless.

While throwing a lavish banquet is a way to show off wealth, there's no way to do it like this—paying for all the drinks at the entire Tokitoya restaurant.

If those guests found out, I wonder how crazy they would go.

Fortunately, the madam was not impulsive. She simply asked even more respectfully, "Young master's wealth is truly astonishing, but our shop needs some tokens of your wealth as proof."

Please forgive my boldness.

If Iruma just says he'll treat you but doesn't actually pay, wouldn't the whole shop suffer a huge loss?

Iruma understood what the other person was worried about, and simply took out a golden nanmu wood plaque from his pocket and placed it on the table.

When the four people inside saw the family crest on the racket, a chill ran down their spines.

It's actually the crest of the Minamoto clan, a powerful imperial family!

The madam immediately knelt down, adopting the most sincere and humble demeanor: "It is an honor to have the young master grace my humble abode with his presence; it truly brings glory to my home!"

This is undoubtedly the best proof. No matter how big your store is, does it have the right to be big?

No matter how rich you are, can you really defy the heavens?

Iruma looked at Koika and the two pageboys, who were all kneeling down, showing him the utmost respect.

After all, such a person, regardless of their status within the Minamoto clan, is not someone they can afford to offend.

"Is this enough proof?" Iruma tapped the table listlessly.

The madam quickly replied, "That's enough, of course it's enough. Since you've spoken, young master, I will naturally obey your orders."

"Young Master truly lives up to his reputation as a scion of a prestigious family; his skills are indeed extraordinary!"

"May I ask what your surname is, young master?"

"clear."

After showering her with praise, the madam withdrew and went downstairs, shouting, "Today's entire bill is on Young Master Qing!!!"

"what?!"

"Paying for everything?!"

The guests were stunned by these words. For a moment, they wondered if there was something wrong with their ears, how could they hear such absurd words?

However, the madam didn't care about any of that. She took the gong and walked to the shop door, shouting loudly, "Today, all expenses at Tokitoya will be paid by Young Master Qing. Everyone is welcome to come and drink freely at Tokitoya!"

"Whoa whoa whoa!!!!"

This single act caused a huge stir, and cheers erupted throughout the entire Youguo Street, making the Shiren House overflowing with people in no time.

Looking at so many people, the madam's mouth almost stretched to her ears with a smile; the more customers she had, the more she earned.

Moreover, judging from Iruma's appearance, he doesn't care about a few dollars at all; it was just a passing fancy.

Only these kinds of people are the true powerful and wealthy!

On the third floor, Iruma stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the cheering crowd below, his face expressionless.

"Boring."

Li Xia was startled by him and cautiously asked, "Young Master, isn't it too extravagant for you to pay the bill?"

"Paying the bill isn't like hosting a banquet; you never know what those people might do."

"It's alright, it's just money. That's the last thing I lack."

Iruma's words were extremely arrogant.

If other guests said this in front of Koi, they would definitely think that the other person was just pretending to show off their wealth.

But when these words came from Iruma's mouth, it truly meant that money was like dirt.

It couldn't stir the slightest emotion in him.

After all, how could such a large clan as the Minamoto clan possibly lack money?

The wealth accumulated to date is likely astronomical and impossible to estimate.

"rustling"

Just then, Iruma's ears twitched slightly, and he clearly heard crying coming from inside Kyogoku's house.

The voice was pitiful and aggrieved, as if someone was being bullied.

"You can't even handle this simple thing."

"Stop crying! Clean this place up right now!"

It's Daki's voice.

Are they scolding those triplets again?
