Looking at the landlady, Li Xia nodded slightly, her brows full of tenderness.

"That's good..."

Nodding, the landlady paused and continued.

"So, Li Xia is willing to go further with that young master?"

"To be honest, the amount of money that young master has been spending in the store recently is a bit scary..."

"It would be okay if I had a relationship with a maid or an oiran... If the news spread out that we just came here to eat, it would not be good for our Toya's reputation..."

The more she spoke, the more the corner of the boss lady's mouth twitched, and in the end her face even looked slightly ugly.

This is the best thing to say, after all, this is just an ordinary place on Flower Street, and it is really not up to par with the nobles and the Wang family.

Hearing what the landlady said, Li Xia also remembered the young master's performance at the banquet.

Looking at the worried face of the landlady, Li Xia nodded slowly.

"I am willing."

Li Xia is also clear about the boss's considerations.

It is true that oirans make a lot of money and are difficult to train, but they must also pay attention to the communication with these nobles.

Once you get into trouble, you may not be able to control it in the end.

Although he could refuse, he could not cause the Suma Oiran and the sisters in the shop to lose the security of their lives.

Seeing that her oiran agreed so resolutely, the landlady fell into silence again for a while.

After hesitating for a long time, the landlady finally spoke slowly.

"You have to think carefully, Li Xia... It's okay if that young master likes you... But if you lose your purity and the other party is not willing to redeem yourself, then you will have no choice but to become a wandering girl. ..."

"This is a dead end with no turning back..."

"Well, I know, boss lady..."

Looking at Li Xia's face, the landlady couldn't help but reach out and touch her tender cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Lixia... I didn't expect you to pay for Tokiya and Suma's mistakes..."

"It's me, the boss lady, who didn't do a good job..."

"It's my fault that I am blinded by money..."

As she talked, the landlady couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing the sad look on the landlady's face, Li Xia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.

Li Xia said softly while wiping the tears of the landlady gently.

"Mrs. Boss, you are too pessimistic...I want to believe in the young master's character..."

"Even if I become a wandering girl in the end, I won't regret it..."

"This is the path I chose...you don't have to blame yourself."

After sniffing, the landlady nodded and made up her mind.

"Then today I must let our Li Xia Feng walk the most beautiful Courtyard Road in the entire Flower Street!"

"Get started!"

Following the boss's wife's loud call, the people under Lixia Oiran began to get busy.

The proprietress walked downstairs mysteriously and informed the boy to go to the nearest tea shop around six o'clock in the afternoon.

Tazmi didn't think much about the boss lady's instructions.

When she heard that the other party was going to hold the largest banquet in history and the store might be a little messy, Tazmi nodded to express her understanding.

The banquet in Flower Street is usually held between eight and nine o'clock at night, and today the Demon Slayer reinforcements will arrive in Jiyuan in batches, so Tazmi doesn't pay too much attention.

According to the information from the rook, the sound column closest to Jiyuan will arrive first, followed by Yin's team members who are responsible for logistics.

As for the Flame Pillar and Snake Pillar, which are far away, they are also rushing towards them.

Judging from Yusui Tianyuan's message, it seems that he can still see acquaintances.

The people I am more familiar with in the Demon Slayer Squad are Brother Purgatory, Tanjiro, the others, and the other people from Butterfly House.

The other pillars have never performed missions together, so just visiting cannot be said to be that familiar to them.

Time passed quickly with the wind, and soon, as the sun gradually set, the entire flower street was once again shrouded in a yellow veil under the remaining sunlight.

At this moment, Tazmi was hiding in the dark alley, looking at the trembling woman in front of her and asked in a deep voice.

"Don't talk, don't shout too loudly...otherwise I can't guarantee your life safety..."

"If you understand what I mean, just nod slowly..."

Hearing the voice behind her, the woman was covered in cold sweat and felt the cold light on her neck. She nodded slowly.

"Very good...I will ask questions next..."

A dull voice came from behind, making Mizu, who was wearing a kimono, shiver all over.

"You are the proprietress of Kyogoku House, Matsu, right..."

"Um..."

Mitsuru responded softly, and his eyes widened.

"If...if you want money, I can give it to you...please...please don't kill me..."

"I'm not interested in money..."

"I'm just here to cooperate with you... This is also for the sake of your lives..."

Mizu, who was covered in cold sweat, couldn't believe the other party's lies. Now that the sharp knife was placed on his neck, of course, what the other party said was what he said.

"I...I know..."

However, Mitsu continued to follow the rhythm and let the people behind him continue talking.

Xuma, Makio, Yusui Tianyuan, Xiaohe

"Please continue speaking..."

Seeing that the person in front of her was so sensible, Tazmi was secretly relieved.

At least the other party didn't yell when his life was threatened, which is already very good.

You must know that when they learned the evidence of their crimes in the Imperial Capital and knew that they were going to kill them, none of those guys didn't cry out for help.

It's obvious that they are committing a crime, but the result is that they appear to be guilty of such heinous crimes.

"Have you noticed something unusual about your oiran's family..."

Hearing the voice behind him, Mitsu was stunned for a moment.

"You mean..."

"The oiran named Jue Ji..."

Upon hearing Jueji, Sanjin's eyes widened.

"What happened to Jueji..."

Hearing Matsu's rhetorical question, Tazmi was a little surprised, but she continued.

"I'm talking about the fact that Jue Ji is not human..."

"..."

After listening to the words of the killer behind him, Sanjin fell into a long silence.

After a while, she sighed and spoke slowly.

"Sir...I don't know the details..."

"But since Jue Ji came to the store, I don't know how many people have disappeared from the store..."

"Some were injured, some escaped, and some committed suicide..."

"I don't know much about the people who escaped, but the children who committed suicide were unable to stand Jue Ji's bullying..."

The more he talked, the more Sanjin could recall Jue Ji's angry and cold face.

When angry, he likes to tilt his head and stare upward.

Suddenly, he thought of a famous legend that has been circulating in Flower Street for a long time, and Mitsu was covered in cold sweat.

"Because she has always been the signature of the store... so we can only choose to turn a blind eye..."

"I see..."

Looking at Matsu, Tazmi responded solemnly.

"Then please continue to do this..."

"Go tell the people in the store not to make each other angry no matter what kind of bullying they face... As the boss's wife..."

"As for the core reason, it is for the sake of your life safety..."

"No matter what, you cannot say anything in the store about Jue Ji not being a human being..."

"As long as you don't want to die..."

Mitsu's eyes widened when he heard the voice behind him.

"That..."

"Do it with peace of mind. At least it will ensure your life safety... and you won't die in her hands for no reason..."

"I hope you'd better keep this in mind..."

"Before you go back to the store, deal with the abnormalities in yourself...the nervousness, the accelerated heartbeat, and the cold sweat on your body..."

"Yes..."

As he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew behind Mitsu, and the sharp blade on his neck disappeared. By the time Mitsu turned his head, the figure behind him had long since disappeared.

Feeling that his back was soaked with cold sweat, Mizu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked out of the dark alley.

--------

After finishing the matters at Kyogoku House, Tazmi went to another store.

Among them are Tokitoya and Dihonya, the two shops where Usui Tengen's wife works.

Of course, because it was daytime, Tazmi always wore a ghost costume and turned transparent to carry out infiltration operations.

Yusu Tianyuan's three wives are all very good, and this does not refer to their appearance or anything else.

In terms of professionalism alone, as undercover courtesans, the investigations they carried out in each store were excellent.

Yusui Tianyuan: "Of course! My three wives are all excellent kunoichi!"

Because Flower Street would soon turn into a battlefield with evil spirits, Tazmi chose to be the first to contact these two.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of ghosts, the young cranes in Kyogoku House cannot be contacted for the time being.

Soon, Tazmi, who was running on the roof, arrived at Diben House. Through the gap between the windows, Tazmi quickly saw the situation inside.

Mako, who was sitting on his knees at the desk, was quietly writing a letter. It was probably a letter for regular communication with Yusui Tianyuan. After he finished writing, he would probably let the crow send it away before dark.

Kara~!

"who is it!"

With a crisp sound, Mako immediately pulled out the kunai between his legs and looked at the window warily.

There was nothing in the wide open window, not even a human figure.

Makio, who narrowed his eyes, did not let down his guard, but tightened his grip on the kunai in his hand.

"Good vigilance..."

As the air in front of him squirmed, a pair of gray-silver armor slowly appeared from the air. The voice coming from inside sounded young and mature at the same time.
