their homestead is made of ten yaodong houses all leading to one outlet at the garden with flowers blooming and seats in the sun.
while on the west is katsu tami a prosperous place and the centre of love alliances.
in the mountain located between the land of snow cape and flower gardens, a legendary tree stood which was specially planted by the godess of love, benzaiten.
a love blessed by the tree will be successful and fruitful.
so this made for happy people and which in turn made the town thriving.
on another realm, yoshiyuki, an immortal is like draco punishing the wrongdoers with his assistant toyo using a cat 'o' nine tails.
he always gets his man because he will do anything to make it so including trespassing the love palace where the goddess of love is happily seated on a throne in glittery water with her assistant mirai mizuko standing next to her to serve her.
goddess isis warned yoshiyuki to get out but yoshiyuki ignored her as he was single-minded in trying to catch a demon.
the demon flew into isis who was very angry with the situation. isis was so annoyed that she warned yoshiyuki that he will pay for what he had done with a punishment.
one century later….
hoshi mikazuki city had changed so much in a space of just one century. cooking competitions agencies are thriving while yuki yori's century old cooking bureau was the only one left in hoshi mikazuki serving the people without chasing after money.
this was because the cookery had suddenly died a year ago after people developed an urge in money
yuki t and her sister toshiyuki yori,her father yuu yuudai and her mother ine suzuki were doing everything to prevent their cafe from closing up so she held a gifting day which was well attended.
it was going swimmingly well until a golden robed man fell from the sky into the roof of the minka or traditional japanese houses and on top of yuki yori.
the guy was yoshiyuki but he had amnesia so he does not know who he was or where he came from.
he refused to cooperate with yuki yori and her family at first but he was a good worker and protector when he wanted to be....
a war raged between yoshiyuki,his assistant toyo.
toyo and a demon who had escaped from the punishment of fighting in the imperial palace and thus the king huizhong to catch him and throw him into the bottomless pit for reformation.
the demon flew on his sword and left the imperial palace in a hurry as yoshiyuki and toyo teleported to the place where they thought he would be and in a surprise they bugged into 'the love palace' .('愛の宮殿')
where the war raged and continued,he claimed that he couldn't be caught.
benzaiten warned them of not causing destruction but they didn't seem to listen. "please," started benzaiten"don't cause harm of trouble will befall on you."
she added," i won't be tender on you,just do it and the punishment will be as sure as death." she screamed.
"stop it, hey! what's up why fight in the love palace you should be in the human realm where people fight each other one on one,"shouted benzaiten and in the twinkling of an eye the demon run into a rose flower vase which was close to benzaiten but still continued on making a scene until yoshiyuki caught up with the demon and imprisoned him in a scroll.
one century later....
in the city of hoshi mikazuki the flickering rays shone brightly through the curtains of yuki yori's room as she slept. it was already dawn and the clucking of chicken as they looked for food and chirping of birds symbolised a happy day ahead.yuki yori quickly woke up and went to shower. she looked through her window at the town wondering how it changed so much that people only thought of money. "how could it be?" she asked herself. as speechless as a stone she went at the table to eat breakfast cooked by ine suzuki and her two cousins who live with them because their parents are shoemakers and cannot afford a cost of living. male yoshi and the female yoshiaki of clear soup with spinach, egg tofu,nankotsu,egg drop soup and green tea.
all of the family had gathered to eat breakfast. after that everyone left in their own direction.toshiyuki yori was sent to spy on the city and find out of the currently thriving cooking competitions owned by the rich yutaka neko. he owned tones of stores in town. toshiyuki yori had to dress up not to be caught,she had to wear as commoner from mirai's household.
yuki yori was in the study looking for ways to get more business. toshiyuki yori was busy in the streets when she met with yutaka neko,a man with a protuberant stomach at the size of a pregnant woman,thick moustache and eyes as red as berries,she rather said in shock"he's the size of a pregnant woman,how does he even walk?" she sighed and continued on with her journey.
she entered into one of the stores almost entering the competition to find out more, as she filled the application papers,a young lady happened to pass by with her friend yabbing of how business was good, toshiyuki yori was all ears out.
she began after she curled her dressses chiffon belt in her ring finger with her friend fanning herself," only a fool would want to be in a restaurant now, business there's so bad,i mean the yori's suffer a lot claiming to keep their family inheritance, hahaha, they're so stupid as pots." she said.
"i agree with you,don't they get into the new business or are they still retro till now?" her friend said,they walked away still criticizing the yori's cafe. toshiyuki yori was overcome with rage and clenched her fist.
she stormed out of the store in anger,she swore never to come there again.
she flung the gate door open and a blast of cold air met her face. walking in strides as she held her dress up. yoshiaki ran to her," young miss, what's the problem?" she asked with a shocked stared face.
"it's those big-mouthed idiotic women ,they talk too much tend to think they're hired to talk ill of others." she said in rage.
"hey miss , don't be in such an angry mood because of people who can't even help me themselves let alone others,"said one of the maidens koemi miya in a pink kimono maiden's clothing coming into the room holding a pink porcelain tray containing fried chicken, pudding,sake and egg drop soup in lacquered plates and bowls and some water while taking it to their grandpa yoshi and grandma yasushi's room.
she fisrt placed it on the couch and screen table arrangements next to the carnations and rose flowers arranged in a cascade flower arrangement and she sat down on a dragon embroidered chair.
"hey young lady, don't worry i have a plan on how to deal with those useless women,just let's go to toshio's cafe and find out what makes people so obsessed with his business rather than our century old business,okay? said koemi miya.
"but what shall we dress like we can't go there looking like this or else he'll notice us."replied toshiyuki yori.
"let me take this to your grandparents then i'll show you,"said koemi miya as she continued with her journey.
as soon as she finished she went straight to toshiyuki yori.
"young lady i'm back and your father looks like a perfect match,"said koemi miya.
"what do you mean?"asked toshiyuki yori curiously.
"you know..... if bachelor's go there he'll not suspect a thing since we will be going there to learn how to cook,"replied koemi miya
"okay,good plan!"said toshiyuki yori.
all, they got is that toshio gives his customers a gift after they buy goods.
"so that stupid fat rounded man always gives his customers a bonus,how much losses does he undergo?" koemi miya said in astonishment.
"then we'll copy paste him, even though the cost will be high,the profit will be too?" toshiyuki yori said happy rubbing her chin.
they went back home,at supper and retired to sleep.
in her bedroom, toshiyuki yori was sitting on her bed in her blanket, holding a piece of paper and a pen writing down the type of gifts she should give.
"mm ," she scratched her hair and magnificently said,"i got it,a couple's gift,a bachelor's gift and a baby's gift,the others will be sorted by yoshiaki." she said while laughing majestically.
she put the stationery away and slept.
by morning she had already prepared the hall and invited people to the gifting day, it'd always happen on the day as an event as long as it survived.
people came and a buffet of food was served plus games and entertainment.
massages and so much more.
they we're playing lottery and it was a the turn of benji yoshio,an ordinary person in the city to play.
it seemed like bad luck.
people enjoyed until a lightening struck in the sky and a golden robed man fell from the skies and fell on yuki yori in a thud.
she was holding a tray of food about to serve a young lady when he fell on her.
"ouch!" she screamed in pain.
people from all direction ran to see the scenario.
"who are you and where did you even come from?!" asked yuki yori angrily.
the unknown man astonished many for his handsomeness.
the young lady looked at her food scattered on the floor and said ," compensate me for my loss!" and benji yoshio also said it too.
the ceremony was ruined.
she took the man by hand and ran hiding. after which she counted the money in her moneybag.
she asked the man the same question again,"who are you and where are you from, payback my money,you look like a noble man," she said as she touched his golden robe.
