Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12

Azhi still hadn't slept well, which made her feel drowsy and impatient. As soon as she got off work, she couldn't wait to lie in bed and become a lazy bum.

It felt like my body had been hollowed out.

She ran into the cleaning staff as she returned to her room.

She was a little girl I'd never seen before, with unusually deep red hair, wearing a kimono with a pine pattern, and squatting down to wipe the floor with deft hands and feet.

Azhi never knew her room could be so clean and tidy, every part of it seemed to be shining, as if it had been furnished with brand new furniture.

—You're too hardworking.

Because she was working with her back to the camera, Azhi couldn't see her face, but she could tell that the girl was quite tall.

Until she turned around, her pupils were an unusual deep red, like beautiful crystals under the light. There was a sizable scar on her forehead, which was probably why she was assigned to this cleaning job.

It must be the girl the proprietress just bought. I heard from other escorts that her name is Tanzi, which is a very cute name.

Charcoal, standing upright, was indeed very tall, half a head taller than A-Zhi, even though he was a few years younger than A-Zhi.

"Thank you for your hard work." Azhi had stocked up on a lot of snacks, all of which she thought were pretty good. She placed them on the table and slowly waved her hand. "Is there any flavor you'd like to eat? I personally recommend peach flavor."

The peach flavor is just right; it has the original fruity aroma and a moderate sweetness that isn't too cloying.

A soft, delicate voice drifted over, like a feather floating in the breeze on a clear day.

Tanjiro Kamado did not step forward. He was once again amazed by the beauty of the courtesans. Each of the slender women had her own unique characteristics, and their demeanor was different in every gesture.

Tanjiro Kamado feels that all the courtesans he has met at the Tokitoya are exceptionally nice and incredibly friendly.

He had only done his job, and Koi Natsu, the courtesan, gave him candy, while the beautiful courtesan also wanted to give him some snacks as a reward.

Perhaps we can get some more information from her.

Tanjiro Kamado hesitated whether to repeat the previous lie, and just as he thought about it, a suffocating feeling of being strangled quietly came over him.

He stared at the ground, his mind racing with intense thoughts.

Seeing that the girl didn't move, Azhi assumed she was embarrassed, so she smiled and softened her tone, saying, "Don't be shy, I have plenty more."

Sometimes, sharing what you like with others and finding it enjoyable can be very rewarding.

After recommending the flavors, Azhi focused on her own things. She took off the hairpin in front of the mirror, her slender white fingers running smoothly through her dark hair, leaving almost no knots.

Perhaps because she had styled her hair for a long time today, it inevitably had some curls, which lazily and softly brushed against her fair cheeks. She casually gathered them up with a ribbon and let them loosely fall behind her head.

There's been a shortage of manpower lately, but there are more customers than usual, so A-Zhi has been working overtime more often. There's nothing we can do about it.

Of course, Aori wasn't complaining that the number of customers at Tokitoya had increased; if the landlady heard her say that, she would get scolded. She just felt that the increase in customers for no apparent reason was a bit strange.

Ah Zhi was extremely tired. After undressing, she wanted to change out of the clothes she was wearing, which had a strange smell, and put on something more comfortable.

In other words, she didn't seem to notice anything amiss with the other person in the room from beginning to end.

【—Don't take it off!!!】

000 almost cracked her voice, but thankfully it wasn't too late to stop her.

With delicate, white fingertips, she lifted the sash, and half of the garment obediently drooped down, the collar becoming loose and baggy.

Her smooth neck and shoulders were exposed to the air, and her fair skin appeared radiant and lustrous under the light, like fine white porcelain, which was very eye-catching.

Tanjiro Kamado was caught off guard by this scene, and the wet rag he was holding immediately fell to the ground.

He stared blankly for a second, then quickly turned around, the heat rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his cheeks visibly turning red.

—It's over! The egg is dead!

Tanjiro Kamado's worst fears have come true. Although he had no choice but to disguise himself as a girl and infiltrate this place, that is absolutely no excuse for making a mistake.

From the beginning, he was extremely afraid of taking advantage of the courtesans. Although they wouldn't know if he didn't say anything, Kamado Tanjiro couldn't get past his own conscience.

Now, the thing I least wanted to happen has happened.

Tanjiro Kamado, a paragon of morality, bowed deeply to the wall, his booming voice filled with shame: "I'm sorry!!!"

He moved hastily and in a panic, not considering how close he was to the wall. His bent head naturally bumped into it solidly, making a sound that made your teeth ache.

Azhi was first startled by the system's sudden loud noise, and then she was startled by the sound of the impact. Her dazed mind was now fully awake.

Azhi blinked, confused: [What's wrong?]

She looked over in confusion, her fingers still on the half-undone clothes, and then she noticed the girl with her back to her, covering her head, as stiff as a statue.

The sound just now was quite loud. If A-Zhi had bumped into something like that, she would probably have gotten a huge bump.

Thinking this, Azhi couldn't help but hiss in empathy, her neck curving gracefully to the side, her voice urgent: "Charcoal-chan, are you alright?"

000 cruelly stated the truth: "Is it possible that this Charcoal Sauce is a boy?"

From any perspective, Tanjiro Kamado's disguise can hardly be considered successful.
