I’M Really Helpless In Tokyo

"It's not a fluke that you lost to me the first two times, okay...Wait, then, Kengo should have come tonight?!"

"Could it be that kid who despicably inserted the ambiguous word ‘Competition’ between ‘Chuling’ and ‘Mission’ in order to defraud the ticket for some strange event?!"

『Uh ah ah ah, why I am already a spirit eliminator, but I still have to spin around in your muscular kendo idiot circle..."

Facing the fierce Abe Temple, at the thought of betraying himself, perhaps at some strange fan feedback event at the moment, Yamada Kengo blushed, nostrils enlarged, and a wicked smile spraying youth with passion, Sosuke Araki was furious. Teeth itching.

"It's useless to say more, you will be at ease if you come, let me show you tonight, the Abe family has passed on for thousands of years, the real art of removing spirits!"

Completely ignoring Sosuke Araki's broken thoughts, Abe Temple solemnly concluded his "Challenge Statement."

"Ah, I see, I beg you to work hard..."

Just as Abe Temple performed a "master loneliness" ending action at the alley of Abe Temple under the moonlight, Araki Sosuke, who gave up struggling, had already squatted at the crossroads next to him, lit up the fire and smoked, and began to spit out the fog.

"It's also very rude to walk away without authorization when someone else is talking! So, what about the task information provided on the scene, about the task of tonight's test?"

Because tonight’s mission involves high levels of confidentiality, relevant information will not appear in the Association’s APP, and must be dictated on-site by Sosuke Araki.

"In terms of mission information, because the'compass' on a broken picture scroll temporarily failed, the only clue at the moment is this painting..."

Squatting at the quiet crossroads, Sosuke Araki, with a frown on his face, sent a picture on his phone to Abe Temple.

"This is……"

In the black-and-white line-drawn illustration, there is a huge wooden arch.

"Yoshihara..."

Looking at the painting in front of him, Abe Temple, who was originally full of confidence, showed fine beads of sweat on his face.

"Yoshihara Gate?!"

On the plaque above the arch, the word "Yoshihara" can be seen faintly.

"Huh...yes, as you can see, what we are looking for tonight is Yoshihara Gate."

Araki Sosuke lit a little soot, and pointed his finger towards the center of the crossroad in front of him...

"Well, this door should still be here until 1966."

On the road sign beside him, the words "Yoshihara Gate Crossroad" were written in large characters.

Even in the left eye of Sosuke Araki, who claims to be able to "look straight into the death of all things", there is nothing on the asphalt road at the crossroads, where are the gates...

A few days ago, after absorbing the gray stone bowl from the tomb of Xianshouyuan, a new illustration appeared on the Zhutoi scroll.

The "Yoshihara Gate" painted on it is a place that Tokyo men "know" without any big data search.

Because, when the two of them walked in at the crossroad, it was the Yoshihara Red Light District, one of the "Three Red Light Districts in Japan," which is as famous as Kabukicho Ichiban Street and Nitta Enclave.

Although it has been overwhelmed by Kabukicho now, if it has a long history, it is Yoshihara who used to be the first Hanyanagi Street in Japan.

Even the well-known "Yoshihara Bubble Bath" that Sosuke Araki has longed for for many years but couldn't help it, also originated here.

Since the move of Tokugawa Ieyasu's territory to the Kanto region, and the establishment of Edo as a political and economic center, due to economic development and physiological needs, the official red light district monopolized by the shogunate, Yuguk Yoshihara, was established.

It is said that Yoshihara Yuguo is surrounded by high walls and surrounded by water. During its heyday, it governed more than 300 brothels, and only one door could enter and exit by land. It was like a closed dream and gentle town.

At that time, the dignitaries and dignitaries were the most elegant and elegant.

From Edo to Meiji, and from Meiji to Showa, Yuguo Yoshiwara, who has gathered countless loves and hatreds of men and women, along with the continuous development of troubled Japan, was finally implemented in the "Prevention of Spring Sale Act" of the 33rd year of Showa. Later, it became a historical term.

"Tsk... still looks like this dead fish..."

Sosuke Araki opened the zipper of the bucket bag and looked at the picture scroll inside.

On the surface of the picture scroll, in addition to the white arrow symbol, there is also a sticky rune similar to "bowl" beside it.

"It's been a few days now, can't I get up again once I'm in the soul?"

After Shenyin came out of Xianshouyuan, no matter how he turned the picture scroll, the arrow symbol on it was like "dead" without any change.

According to Mai Hanyu's judgment, if it wasn't for the picture scroll itself that had "functional obstacles", it would be that the next "Monkey Watching Secret Treasure" it pointed to had been sealed in an imperceptible position.

"The so-called'Top Secret' mission is to find a door that has been demolished for half a century..."

After looking at the pictures on the phone for a while, Abe Temple pursed his lips and made a gesture of facing difficulties.

"Hey, there is no challenging task, and it doesn't deserve to be the content of the duel between you and me!"

"Please, from start to finish, no one has ever mentioned the duel! 』

He naturally understood the reason why Araki Sosuke squatted at the crossroad with a sad face.

Because the gate of Yoshihara in that painting had already been demolished after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1966, and there was no slag left.

The only remaining names are "Yoshiwara Gate Crossing" and "Yoshiwara Bus Station".

No matter how many times Araki Sosuke took off the blindfold to check, there is no similar "Kinken Entrance" in the Sendagoya Tunnel near this intersection.

"Huh, it's all here, you can't see the clue when squatting at this intersection, so let's go around the area of ​​the old Yoshihara Yuguo."

Abe Temple, with double swords on the waist, kimono and handsome face, walked towards the street west of the intersection with grace and grace.

"Hey, this kid who doesn't know how high the sky is, the mountains are deep and the sea is deep..."

Looking at the back of Abe Temple, Araki Sosuke's mouth showed an ambiguous smile.

"Yoshiwara Flower Street, but even after many years of practicing, I still dare not rush into the terrible place."

To the west of "Yoshiwara Gate Crossroads" is the "gate pass" that was once the main road of Yoshiwara Yuguo. It was also jokingly called the "professional filial piety pass" because most of the pedestrians were guests and wandering girls.

Of course, modern buildings and shops are already lined on both sides of the "professional filial piety" at this time.

If an unsuspecting person passes by, in any case, it is impossible to imagine this seemingly ordinary street, the first flower street in Edo, Japan, which was once filled with fenced shops and sat in it with "you girls" chosen by others.

It was late at night, and the dimly-lit shop doors on both sides of the road were all standing with a gorgeously dressed girl holding a leaflet.

On the colorful shop signs, there are also very charming posters of all kinds of pretty girls of all ages.

Under the curtain of night, the streets with ambiguous atmosphere hidden in the tranquility, like the abyss of unsatisfied desire to choose people to eat.
