My Tokyo Love Game Has Big Problems

Chapter 172 Taisho, years ago (page 12)

The second year of Taisho.

It had just come out of the period when the shogunate was overthrown, and after a period of Meiji Restoration.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

There is a steady stream of Western merchant ships, the down-and-out wanderers are gradually disappearing, and both public security and the economy are constantly improving.

Tokyo, or rather Edo City, is also developing with each passing day.

Although it is still a bit behind now, it is far from the prosperous Tokyo in Tamaki Hikari's memory.

But the atmosphere of the intersection of the times has gradually spread. Western-style dresses and Japanese-style kimonos match each other, forming a strange beauty.

"Is this the Taisho style?"

Tamaki Hikaru looked at the women wearing kimonos and big bows on the street and smacked his lips.

It took a lot of effort for him and Aye to cross the village in the snow and finally reach the city of Tokyo.

Today's Tokyo still retains many remnants of the shogunate period.

The once prosperous Edo Castle has become much older in the face of the impact of the new era.

But when I think about it, I am also part of the wave of times that will be submerged.

Tamaki Hikaru's originally excited mood sank again.

The magic of possibility is powerful, but it also has limits.

One percent can become one hundred percent, but how can something that was impossible from the beginning become possible?

Can people live to be over a hundred years old in good health?

Moreover, regardless of the past hundred years or so, Tamaki Hikaru is still worried about the time paradox.

So he must find a way to go back quickly, preferably while maintaining his current condition.

Moreover, Aitaniti was also involved in fate. Now that he is living here, where is she?

Sighing, Yu Chengguang turned to ask Aye.

"Are you going to come with me next?"

The two came to Tokyo together, although Tamaki Hikaru felt that he should know her.

But he still has no idea what he wants to do, and the other party must have something of his own to do.

"Does my benefactor want to drive me away?"

Holding a paper umbrella, Aye tilted his head slightly, his ink-like black hair flowing down.

Standing there holding a paper umbrella, she seemed to have brought the city back to the Edo period.

The kimono on her body was embroidered with exquisite floral patterns, making her look more like a young lady from a famous family.

"That's not the case. It's better to say that having you here can actually help me a lot."

If Aye was here, Tamaki Hikaru would not be alone in this era.

It's always good to have someone to help you.

"The most important thing is to find a place to live."

It was now the depth of winter, and it was impossible to stay where Aye had been before.

There are now corpses everywhere, and the conditions are so bad that we must find a new place to stay.

Thinking of this, Tamaki Hikaru asked.

"Aye, do you still have money on you? Let's rent a house first."

"Um"

Aye was silent, and then took out a few arrows from his body.

"This is made of silver. Can I exchange it for some money?"

"Forehead"

Tamaki Hikaru was silent as he looked at the arrows, which together might not weigh as much as his sterling silver knife.

"So you have no money?"

"Of course. If I had money, why would I go to such a remote village?"

Aye said confidently.

Tamaki Hikaru seemed to understand why she followed him.

However, it was impossible for him to have cash on him, so he had to go to a pawn shop to exchange some money for urgent use.

If I had known earlier, I should have touched the corpse, maybe I could have found out a lot of money.

With some regrets, the two walked towards Ginza.

Although Hikaru Tamaki was dressed strangely, Tokyo at this era was being impacted by Western aesthetics, so it didn't attract any strange looks.

On the contrary, Aye attracted the attention of many people along the way.

In addition to her beauty, her too fair complexion and thin kimono also raised questions about whether she would freeze to death.

In a pawn shop in Ginza, Tamaki Hikaru looked at the things on his body.

Two knives, if they weren't antiques they wouldn't fetch much.

If it is an antique, it will be more troublesome, so you might as well pawn the silver knife.

However, Tamaki Hikaru overlooked one point: the price of silver in this era was not high.

And the total weight of the set of set of knives was not pawned for much money.

At least he estimated that renting a house would definitely not be enough.

Tamaki Hikaru sighed, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of blood dripping from Aye's fingertips under the sleeves of his kimono.

Blood lines seeped from the ground into the cash box of the pawn shop as if they were alive.

"Don't make trouble."

Tamaki Guang stretched out his hand and grabbed Aye's hand directly, interrupting her movement.

He turned around and took off the jade hanging on his body.

"Please see how much this is worth."

Although this piece of jade should be quite important, it would be fine as long as Tamaki Hikaru redeems it within the time limit.

The pawn shop appraiser's originally listless expression suddenly brightened up.

After taking the piece of jade with both hands, he held the lens and carefully appraised it.

"Sorry, please wait a moment, I need to ask for permission."

Tamaki Hikaru waved his hand, motioning for him to go ahead.

Taking advantage of the absence of people, Yucheng Guangcai scolded Aye in a low voice.

"Don't use your abilities indiscriminately, are you afraid that you won't have enough doubts?"

Zhiwei saw that Aye could tell a lot just from Aye's subconscious use of vampire abilities to benefit herself.

The fact that she would be discovered and tricked was entirely due to her lack of vigilance.

Aye, who was scolded by Yu Chengguang, pursed his lips and said a little aggrievedly.

"Don't I want to help you?"

"If you want to help me, you have to be obedient. Have you forgotten how you were tied to the stake?"

If you are unfamiliar with the place and have no background to rely on, it is better to be cautious.

Besides, stealing things is really despicable.

After waiting for a while, someone finally came over.

The little old man wearing glasses looked at the jade solemnly, and finally whispered to the pawn shop owner in a low voice.

"This guest, this jade is indeed a rare gem, but..."

He is neither business nor greedy. As soon as he opened his mouth, Tamaki Hikaru knew what he wanted to say.

"Boss, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be secretive."

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

The pawn shop owner with a warm smile returned the jade to Tamaki Hikari's hands.

"This kind of precious thing usually has two prices in the industry."

"If you sell it to me directly, I can give you a high price, but if it's just a pawn"
