[Comprehensive] Judging people by their appearance

A man's paradise, a woman's hell, the underground kingdom that can never be blessed by the sun - Yoshihara.

Countless girls are sold from all over the world every year, but the ones who can really live to grow up fluctuate above and below the standard line. The number of guests and Yoshiwara's playgirls has increased, and various events have also increased.

There are always people who want to escape, and there are always people who think they can resist.

It's a pity that the ruler of Yoshiwara was not a soft-hearted person, and some girls were even disposed of for being disobedient without even seeing that person face to face.

The Yoshihara Momoka Self-Defense Force is in charge of dealing with these girls, and sometimes it is not Yoshihara's ruler Yewang Fengxian who gives the order to deal with them, but a girl named Yoshida.

Not everyone can see Ye Wang Fengxian, and it is a 13-year-old girl who often conveys orders for Fengxian.

She is Yoshihara's wandering girl like other girls, but she is different from other wandering girls.

She can go in and out of Yoshihara, and she can see the sunshine outside. She is not bound by those strict rules of Yoshihara. She is the freest person in Yoshihara.

Eight years ago, she was brought into Yoshiwara by Fengxian, and she has been with him since then. The only thing I know is that she was a bald (serving the young daughter of the oiran) in a veranda before entering Yoshiwara, and she was regarded as the future oiran The little girl she raised was later destroyed in chaos because of the battle involving ronin warriors. At that time, Fengxian brought the helpless Yoshida back to Yoshihara.

She is a newly created girl who is second only to the oiran Taifu, and Yoshihara Yumi calls her "Yoshida Shinzo".

Yue Yong leaned against the door, the intoxicating smoke rose slightly from the bong, separated by a layer of paper door, the figure of the girl was printed on it by the candlelight, she seemed to be drawing eyebrows, after a while, there was a string sound in the room, she in tuning.

Fengxian is not a kind person, Yueyong knows this very well.

Therefore, she did not believe the origin of Yoshida Shinzo that was spread by Yoshihara.

That man, how could he save someone, or brought that child from one hell to another.

The paper door was opened, and a faint fragrance gradually became clear as she approached. The gorgeous dark blue kimono, the high and complicated hair bun, and six golden carved hollow hairpins were inserted into the chestnut hair.

With a snow-white, delicate and pale face like a lifeless puppet, with lowered emerald green eyes, holding a shamisen, waiting for Yueyong.

Even in hell, this Yoshida Shinzo is much better than other wandering girls. Although he can't help himself, the treatment is much better than ordinary wandering girls. In Yoshihara, with a beautiful face, he can survive.

"Is the chestnut cake delicious last night?"

After more than half of the corridor, Yue Yong suddenly asked.

"Ah."

"Then eat more."

"Ah."

Yueyong also grew up watching Yoshida Chiba, since this child came to Yoshiwara, he was not talkative, taciturn, obviously at a fancy age, but always showing a world-weary mood.

Maybe the previous veranda suffered, Yueyong thinks so.

but……

Every time I take Yoshida Shinzo to the ground, I always feel that the road is too long.

Not saying a word is really embarrassing, but Yueyong is not a talkative person.

"come back earlier."

Yoshida Chiba had just stepped into the car sent by Yoshioka's family, and the doors were closed. Hearing Yueyong's words, she closed the window again.

"Ah."

After speaking, he slowly closed the window.

Yue Yong pinned the bong to his clothes and walked back, thinking of Yoshida Shinzo's expressionless face, and felt that this child was very cute, but the fact that he didn't like to talk was too tormenting.

Yoshioka is an aristocrat of the shogunate. He occasionally visits Yoshiwara with his friends. He is tired of the vulgar smiles and decent bodies of those wandering girls, but he is also indulging in their beauty and talent. Yoshida Chiba was quite interested, and watched her when he was interested.

Treating her like a plaything, because what Yoshioka loves is Yoshida Chiba's innocence and purity, so he spent a lot of money to raise her. Sometimes he came to Yoshihara himself, and sometimes invited Chiba to his mansion.

The latter is mostly because Yoshioka is inconvenient to go out but misses Yoshida Chiba, or there are guests visiting.

Like a collector, he is always proud to show off to the guests.

Yoshioka introduced his canary with a smile and showing off. In the corner of the Japanese room, Chiba played the shamisen silently. No one would be dissatisfied with the dull or even dark style of music.

What they appreciate is not the tune, but the person who plays it.

But there are always exceptions.

"I'm about to cry..." Kondo Hsun had a bitter face, his eyes were moist, he knelt stiffly on the cushion, and complained to Hijikata beside him: "Don't you feel like crying? Fourteen, I I know you want to cry, cry, cry, don't let me lose face alone!"

"Whoever is enthusiastically saying that he wants to break into the upper class can't get used to this kind of scene. It's better for you to make an excuse to escape, Director."

"I can't... Fourteen, didn't you receive the news that there are people with lofty ideals who are going to make trouble today? How can you run away as the director at this time? The dignity of a man is like a butt. Something to remove!"

Kondo Isao sniffled his nose, choked up and said, "It's definitely not because the girl's shamisen is too sad to catch a cold because of the bad weather."

The nobles were laughing, and the officials of the vassal nobles were also laughing. There were only three people in the Japanese room who were not smiling.

The girl playing the shamisen, the crying Kondo Isao who was infected by the style of the shamisen, and Hijikata Toshiro who was almost irritated to the point of this occasion.

"Yoshioka, I heard that you spent a lot of money for this little beauty!"

Yoshioka took a sip of tea, glanced at the girl who was like a gorgeous bird obediently playing songs for him, and smiled modestly: "Naturally, the price of Yoshihara's new ones is not bad, and ordinary people can't afford it, but The Yoshioka family wants to keep a pet, no matter how much money they have."

"Haha, what a generous shot!"

"Excellent value for money, Yoshioka."

"With such an appearance, he must be the future oiran. Yoshioka is making money."

Yoshioka spent a lot of money on Chiba, but it doesn't mean that Chiba is Yoshioka's pet. She only agreed to Yoshioka's request because she was short of money.

Chiba plucked a string and stopped.

Yoshioka's words also stopped and he looked at Chiba suspiciously, "Yoshida, why..." He stopped playing.

Before the remaining three words could be uttered, the nobleman who had been chatting and laughing with them before suddenly fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, revealing the masked warrior behind him holding a sword, and the sea of ​​blood on the sword was dripping down.

The nobles were stunned for a moment but did not react, until an official was killed by the knife, everyone fled around screaming and terrified.

Chiba got up holding the shamisen, stood in the corner, the sound of swords clashing filled the room, and the ronin samurai who broke in from outside the house, no one knew how they slipped into Yoshioka's house.

Filled with murderous intent and corpses, the room soon filled with the smell of blood. In such a place, in the corner, Chiba was holding a shamisen and motionless. The kimono was heavy and gorgeous, and the hairpin tassels on her head swayed slightly occasionally. The hazy and quiet pupils, the pale and delicate face, are like a poor rabbit that has been frightened, and it doesn't even know how to escape.

"Hey! Are you still running?"

Hijikata Shishiro blocked the enemy's surprise attack for her, and the sharp and cold sword light flashed, "They don't care if you are a child or not, the only thing left in the eyes of this group of people with lofty ideals is blood!"

After finishing speaking, Hijikata Toshiro realized that someone was following him, and his clothes were even grabbed by a slight force, so he couldn't help but look back.

On Chiba's expressionless face was a pair of beautiful bright green eyes, subconsciously hugging the shamisen tightly, Chiba nana said: "You are very powerful, I will follow you..."

It is obviously inconvenient to take a little girl with you during the battle, but this place has become so chaotic, this girl probably will die under the knife of the barbarians with one step.

But soon, this worry was immediately resolved.

The paper door was kicked open, and a boy with chestnut hair appeared at the door carrying a cannon and leading a group of Shinsengumi members. He looked at everything in the room calmly, and said lazily: "The Shinsengumi is doing routine work, within three seconds If you don’t surrender, everyone will go to God.”

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "bang--".

Toshiro Hijikata hurriedly hid aside with Chiba in his arms, wiped the dust off his face, and roared, "What about 3? Why don't you even have 2 and 1! You definitely did it on purpose!"

Okita Sougo looked blankly at the source of the voice, and suddenly realized: "Wow, it turns out that the deputy chief is here too, what a pity, it's a rare opportunity, hey, deputy chief, stand still and let me do it again. "

"Do you want to murder the director together?!"

The blue veins on Hijikata Shiro's forehead twitched, and he turned his head to meet Chiba's calm over-the-head eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Okita Sougo was about to make another shot to kill the deputy chief, when suddenly a soft thing fell from the sky and smashed into his arms.

"Protect that girl!"

Sougo Okita looked down at Chiba, and said in a flat tone, "It turns out that the deputy chief is also at this age. Although she looks like a lady with an improper job, she has a surprisingly good aesthetic... Miss, how old are you this year? "

Chiba: "...shamisen."

Okita Sougo: "Three years old? Ah! The deputy chief is a pervert!"

"The shamisen just dropped!

Hijikata Toshiro's movement was so sudden that Chiba didn't react. On the way of being thrown, the shamisen in his hand dropped.

"I'll look for things like musical instruments later. Miss, protect yourself first."

Okita Sougo put away the cannon with regret and reluctance, and took Chiba to a safe place.

Yoshioka died under the random knives of the barbarians in the melee just now, but the officials were not seriously injured. Because of the arrival of the Shinsengumi, those barbarians fled after fighting for a while.

If they hadn't received the news in advance, I'm afraid that all the people who gathered here would have died under the plan of the patriots.

"Name."

"..."

"age?"

"..."

"Where do you live?"

"..."

Yamazaki retreated to the side and couldn't stand it any longer, "Deputy Chief, you will frighten people with your fierce face!"

Earthwork [-] Lang:"……"

"I'm disgusted. The worthless deputy chief should retire as soon as possible. I will reluctantly take over this mess with the position of deputy chief."

Sougo Okita suddenly became serious, and approached Chiba: "If you don't obey, there will be a scary ghost of the deputy chief knocking on the door at night to scare people."

Deputy Chief Ghost: "_"

Chiba: "..."

Yamazaki looked back, "I'm so disappointed that you are this kind of boss", took out a pack of mochi from his pocket, unwrapped the wrapping paper, and found green sweet mochi with a matcha flavor.

"What's your name?"

"Yoshida Chiba."

"How old are you?"

"13."

"Why did you appear at Yoshioka's house?"

"Because Mr. Yoshioka said that I talked to him about shamisen, and he gave me money. I am short of money."

Yamazaki retreated with moist eyes, how easy this kid is to lie, "I'll give you something to eat."

Chiba took the mochi, glanced at Yamazaki Tei, "Thank you."

"No thanks no thanks~!"

Although her face is expressionless, she is still pretty as a loli, and her big eyes stare at her seriously, her heart is almost melting!Yamazaki retreated with a cute expression on his face.

Ask the failed earthworker: "..."

Okita Sougo: "n__n"

"She is a wandering girl from Yoshihara. She seems to have a high status. If you don't send her back, it will be difficult to explain it there. Yamazaki, I will leave this matter to you."

Toshiro Hijikata got up neatly and opened the door to leave the interrogation room.

Okita Sougo smiled and patted Yamazaki on the shoulder, and glanced at the little girl who sat obediently on the chair and ate. Unfortunately, she was a woman from Yoshiwara. Uh, let’s go to Yoshiwara when you have time. I heard that there are various Postures and positions also provide props and characters to play...

The point is props.

On the way back to send Chiba back, Yamazaki asked her why she wanted so much money out of curiosity, and Chiba said, "Go to the universe to find Dad."

Yamazaki Tai: "..."

He was very generous and didn't hurt Chiba. It's really not good to watch too many cartoons.

"Don't you have any other goals? Just want to find Dad?"

Qianye took a bite of the candied haws, and said vaguely: "If you save money for the coffin, I might die someday. I want to bury it in a good place."

Yamazaki retreated with a complicated expression.

How did this kid come from childhood?

Shinsengumi had to go through Kabukicho on the way to Yoshiwara.

An eight-year-old boy froze in place when he saw Qianye, his silver hair naturally curled up and walked a few steps away Seeing that the kid didn't follow, he turned around lazily, his eyes were so dead that he couldn't even speak loudly He said: "Hey, uncle, I am very busy. Don't look at this as a walk. Do you know how many muscles and nerves a person needs to move every step? Even if I just stand still and talk to you, uncle, I am already tired. Get down soon, you actually look at the passing young lady in a daze, you are so precocious and your mother in Yoshiwara will be disappointed and cry!"

Qing Tai lowered her head guiltily, but she still couldn't help looking up at the figure that had gone away.

"I met her in Yoshihara. Since she can leave Yoshihara, so can my mother! As long as I see my mother, she will definitely leave with me!"

Sakata Yinshi squinted his eyes and watched that petite and gorgeous figure disappear into the crowd, and picked his nostrils, "So you are still here because you want to cosplay Wangmu Stone? Yinsang, my commission fee is very expensive. It’s charged by the minute~”
