True Yoshiwara in Flames Arc Beginning(Kawaki: Huh? Where Exactly Did It Burn?)

Late at night, Yoshiwara.

"Leader, those people have entered Yoshiwara. They are approaching Kawaki-sama's residence!" A member of Hyakka knelt in front of Tsukuyo with one knee down, "According to our intelligence, it is not wrong. Those people are the captain and vice-captain of Harusame's seventh division!"

"Yes, I understand. Just continue to monitor them. Don't act rashly. Don't act unless absolutely necessary." Tsukuyo gently puffed out a mouthful of smoke, "Remember to report the situation to me at any time."

"However, Kawaki-sama..." The Hyakka raised her head and hesitated to speak.

"Ah, don't worry. I will think of a way." After saying that, Tsukuyo turned around and left.

...

On Yoshiwara's street, several figures holding oil-paper umbrellas calmly walked on the street. Facing the constant wooing of women on the street, they did not show the slightest impatience and continued to walk in a certain direction.

"One by one, it's really troublesome," Abuto said impatiently after casually sending off two courtesans who came forward to continuously offer their hospitality. Then, he raised his head and glanced at the figure of a Hyakka member who had just disappeared on the roof, "Moreover, this feeling of being stared at by others is really uncomfortable."

As he spoke, Abuto turned his head to look at Kamui who was holding an umbrella with a smile on his face. He frowned and complained, "Captain, I really can't believe that you can hold back and not make a move. If it was before, you would have already been unable to hold back, right?"

"The changes are really big." Kamui turned around and smiled, "I didn't expect this place to become like this in such a short time. I wonder how Sir Housen did it."

"Captain..." Abuto reminded him helplessly, "We are not here to play this time."

"Yes, yes, I know," Kamui responded. He turned his head and looked straight ahead. He looked at a small two-story building not far away. His expression also became excited, "I'm so excited. I can already feel it. That man..."

The two courtesans who were holding Kamui's arm were shocked by the sudden change in Kamui's aura.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's just that I suddenly became excited." Kamui smiled and looked at the two courtesans beside him, "Then, can you continue? I am very curious about that man."

"I'm sorry!" After the two courtesans apologized, they quickly let go of Kamui's arm and turned to escape without looking back.

"Was I that scary just now?" Kamui looked at Abuto and Ungyou with a natural dumbfounded expression.

"No, just a little more excited than usual." Abuto replied, "But then again, that man..."

"I thought Abuto already knew it." Kamui pretended to complain. He turned his head to look ahead and continued, "The guy who was regarded as taboo in Harusame... Ten years ago, he killed Pluto Batou of Harusame's second division..."

"If I had the chance to do that kind of thing, I could do it too."

"No, you can't do it." Kamui smiled, "At that time, that man seemed to have done it when he was exhausted after fighting for a long time. Can you do it?"

Abuto choked for a moment.

"Although there is also because of that baldy that the higher-ups have kept quiet, but the reason was that they were afraid. If they retaliated, they might be completely wiped out." Kamui said as he walked. His footsteps were always calm and unhurried, "Only some idiot-like lower-level people would discuss that man, but the smart and fearful upper-level people dare not do anything against that man, even if they know that this man is on Earth, do you understand me? So you see why I'm so excited?"

"Captain, our first task is to confirm the condition of the old man Housen. Please do not forget." Abuto reminded him again, "As for that man, I don't think it matters. There is no need for us to do things that may damage our interests."

"How can you say that? I am looking forward to fighting him. No, I am already so excited that I can't stop trembling."

Looking at his division captain's excited expression, Abuto expressed that his heart was very tired

...

At the same time, the man in Kamui's mouth was barefooted with two dark circles under his eyes, but even so, he was still staring intently at the computer screen in front of him.

"Alright! I won!" At the same time that Kawaki put down the game controller, he shouted loudly, "After two consecutive days of not sleeping, I finally completed this ultimate perverted mission! This is great, I can finally rest well now."

After saying that, Kawaki stood up, stretched, and staggered toward his bedroom.

However, at this moment, the door to Kawaki's room was pulled open, and at the same time, two kunai shot straight at him.

Puchi...

Kawaki rolled his eyes and fell down. At the same time, blood spurting out of his forehead...

"Work has started." As she spoke, Tsukuyo approached directly, pulled up Kawaki who was lying dead on the ground, turned around, and walked out the door.

...

Kamui and the other two arrived at Kawaki's downstairs, but they did not go in immediately. Instead, they were stopped by two Hyakka members.

"Sigh, I already said it was impossible to enter so easily. It seems that we still have to make a move, Captain." Abuto said helplessly, "Can't help it. Let me do it this time."

The two Hyakka members took out their kunai and put on a defensive posture. Their expressions were solemn.

"Wait a minute, Abuto. I don't want to be stained with the blood of such a weak woman." Kamui smiled and said.

At this moment, a member of Hyakka opened the door and whispered something into the ears of the two Hyakka sisters.

"But..."

"No buts. This is the order of the leader."

"Alright..."

Only then did the two Hyakka sisters retreat to the side to make way for Kamui and the others.

"Let's go, Abuto, Ungyou." As he spoke, Kamui was the first to step in.

...

In the hall.

Behind a screen, Kawaki was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking through something. Beside Kawaki were two Hyakka members who were excitedly holding Kawaki's arm.

"What are you looking at? Can't you be more serious at a time like this?" Tsukuyo frowned.

"No, I'm reading old man Housen's previous lines. After all, you have to pretend a little bit," Kawaki replied without raising his head.

Hearing this, Tsukuyo held her forehead and said somewhat speechlessly, "Enough. As long as you remain silent, you can just stay behind the screen and drink well. Leave the rest to me."

"Since you say so, then it can only be like this." Kawaki nodded and put down the notebook.

"Here!" Tsukuyo whispered as she looked at the door that was gently pulled over, "Hurry up and drink! Remember, don't say a word!"

Kawaki nodded and made an OK gesture.

...

"Sir Housen, long time no see." Kamui sat down casually on the ground not far from the screen. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "But what's the matter? Why do you cover your face?"

"Ahem, Housen-sama recently caught a cold and is not suitable to see guests." Tsukuyo, who was standing next to the screen, cleared her throat and explained.

"So that's how it is. After all, you're getting old." Kamui replied with a smile, "Even if you catch a cold, saying some words won't be a problem, right?"

"Because of the cold, Housen-sama's throat is also a little uncomfortable, and it is not suitable to speak recently." After Tsukuyo finished speaking, she glared at Kawaki who was behind the screen.

Kawaki understood and then coughed twice.

"I see. It seems that this time is really unfortunate, Sir Housen." Kamui propped up his chin and nodded. He still had a faint smile on his face as he said, "But if that's the case, there is no need to relay the above words to you. I will still help you refuse as before. After all, I know Sir Housen's temper very well."

'Hey! Think of a way!' Tsukuyo glared at Kawaki again, 'Listen to what he has to say! It should be information about Harusame! Hurry up!'

'Didn't you just say that I can't speak?!' Kawaki glared back, 'How do I respond in this situation?! Moreover, I will be exposed once I open my mouth!'

'Who cares about you!'

In the end, Kawaki had no choice but to hold up a white wooden board under Tsukuyo's silent pressure.

[My, my. What an unexpected guest. The Harusame Seventh Division Captain. What business could one who has achieved so much at such a young age have at my lowly(cross out) humble abode?]

"This is?"

"Ah, because he can't speak, we switched to this method." Tsukuyo explained and then turned to glare at Kawaki again, 'These are all Housen's lines, right? And why there's a typo?!'

'It's all because you, Tsukki, pushed me too hard! It's already very good to only have one wrong word!' Kawaki spread his hands helplessly.

"So that's how it is." Kamui nodded slightly and then revealed a smile to look at the shadow on the screen again, "You're too much, Sir. You're the one who created the Seventh Division, and then you left me with all the responsibilities so you could retire here peacefully. It's unfair!"

Two seconds later, Kawaki put up a new wooden board. It said, [As people age, their bodies and hearts change. What relieves the body is wine. What relieves the heart is women. Perhaps you're too young to understand? Z...]

"No, I understand." Kamui smiled and replied, "But I really don't understand what that Z is at the end, can you tell me? And it seems that there is also a zzz sound behind the screen. What does this mean?"

'Z?' Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki behind the screen in confusion, only to see that Kawaki was already snoring slightly, making zzz sounds continuously from his mouth...
