There are many geisha houses in Yoshiwara's entertainment district, but three are the most famous:
[Kyogoku-ya]
[Tokyoya]
[Ogimotoya]
The house where Daki lived was Kyogoku-ya, and she used the alias "Warabi-hime". She was the courtesan of Kyogoku-ya and a great beauty who was famous far and wide.
As Daki walked down the corridor of Kyogoku-ya, no matter who or how many people were in front of her, they would all tremble and quickly make way for her when they saw her.
For no other reason than to avoid provoking Daki.
Daki's personality was notoriously awful within the Kyogoku-ya establishment. She hated ugly people and the elderly, and even the slightest offense could result in her kicking you hard. Even the proprietress couldn't control her.
Daki didn't even want to look at those who were avoiding her. She stared ahead, her mind preoccupied with the Demon Slayer Corps.
"The bait has already been thrown out, so why haven't the Demon Slayer Corps members taken the bait yet... Could it be that the bait was worthless?"
No way! My gut tells me these baits will definitely catch a big fish. Come on, bring it on! I'm going to kill you all and eat you all!!!
Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
At Tanjiro's call, Zenitsu and the others have gathered together. Although they did not undergo the same devilish training as Tanjiro, they still increased their training intensity to some extent under Tanjiro's influence.
If they were placed in other eras, they would be worthy of the title "Pillar," but in this era, they are still quite different. After all, this generation of Pillars is the strongest group after the Warring States period, and each of them is exceptionally talented.
Qianxia led everyone to the outside of Tianyuan's residence, where Tianyuan was standing quietly with his arms crossed, waiting for Qianxia and the others to arrive.
"You came back pretty quickly."
"Of course, now that everyone's here, let's go."
Tengen nodded in agreement with Qianxia's words, his gaze sweeping over the people behind her.
Tanjiro and the others were one thing, but when Tengen saw Nezuko standing behind Chika, he was taken aback. Nezuko was staring at Tengen warily, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Tengen crossed his arms and tilted his head in confusion, completely baffled as to why Chika's sister would show such a hostile attitude towards him.
Alright, let's get going.
Tengen had originally planned to investigate further after some time had passed, but upon hearing Chika's words, an ominous premonition welled up within him.
Target: Yoshiwara entertainment district!
Set off!!!
Tianyuan turned around and whispered, "Follow me." With a "bang!" he vanished from his spot and arrived far ahead at an astonishing speed.
"So fast!"
Tanjiro's eyes widened in surprise at Tengen's speed, but this was no time for surprise. Chika took a deep breath and said to the people around her, "We have to catch up!"
As soon as Chinatsu finished speaking, she rushed out at an astonishing speed, and Tanjiro and the others quickly followed. The group sped towards the Yoshiwara entertainment district.
We set off in the afternoon and arrived at night.
However, it has to be at night. Compared to the Yoshiwara geisha district during the day, the Yoshiwara geisha district at night is definitely more exciting.
Unlike the bustling city center, Yoshiwara's geisha district has a relatively rustic style, giving people a completely different feeling. Even at night, it doesn't give people the feeling that "the day is about to end".
The streets were brightly lit, with a constant stream of pedestrians, and occasionally, glamorous prostitutes would appear on the buildings on both sides.
This is Yoshiwara, a nighttime city where vanity, desire, love, and hate mingle between men and women.
At this moment, Chinatsu and the others were slowly moving forward in two rickshaws. Zenitsu and Inosuke, who were sitting next to Chinatsu, were both stunned.
Even those who had heard of it before were still shocked when they saw the City of Night in person.
The other one was even more impressive; even with a wild boar head mask on, his shock was palpable.
"Wow... amazing... so amazing... there are people everywhere!!"
As Inosuke spoke, he tried to stand up or even jump out of the car, but fortunately, Chinatsu reacted quickly and struck him on the head with a chop just as he was about to get up.
Even with a boar's head mask on, Inosuke couldn't withstand Chinatsu's "love chop," and was knocked unconscious on the spot, only to calm down instantly.
"We're supposed to be infiltrating, so be professional."
As soon as Chika finished speaking in an annoyed tone, Zenitsu, who was sitting on the other side, had his head bent at a 90-degree angle and was still bending, because his eyes were locked on a young lady who was smiling and waving at a young lady in an attic.
Zenitsu blushed and instinctively reached out to grab the railing of the rickshaw, intending to jump off. However, at that moment, Chinatsu's chop, though late, arrived with a "clang," and Zenitsu stopped thinking.
Chika pursed her lips in annoyance. No matter how much she trained their combat abilities beforehand, their personalities would remain exactly the same as in the original work, which was really worrying.
On another rickshaw, Tengen looked at Chinatsu's situation and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. He then explained the situation to Tanjiro, who had clearly calmed down considerably, and Nezuko, who still had hostile eyes.
"Yoshiwara is a place that sleeps during the day and shines at night. For ghosts, it is the best place. Most of the geisha here were sold here because of poverty and debt. They work here to get a place to live and a livelihood. A very small number of them are redeemed by rich people and can return to a normal life."
Even among geisha, there are different ranks, with the most outstanding being the "Oiran" (or "King of Courtesans"). A truly valuable Oiran commands respect even from the shop owner.
Tengen gave a casual introduction, and soon the rickshaw stopped in front of a hotel in Yoshiwara's entertainment district. The group booked several rooms and began their strategy meeting.
The core of this mission is to find the whereabouts of Tengen's three missing wives. Zenitsu had heard about this from Chinatsu before setting off, but even though he had heard it beforehand, Zenitsu still kept a straight face and expressed his dissatisfaction.
Tengen ignored him and revealed his plan: to have the three of them infiltrate three key geisha clubs in the red-light district: "Kyogoku-ya," "Tokito-ya," and "Ogimoto-ya."
As for these three candidates...
Just as Tianyuan's gaze was about to fall on Qianxia, Qianxia smiled and slowly raised one hand.
"Just so you know, I don't do this kind of work."
Tengen raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned his gaze to Nezuko beside him.
Chinatsu's body also turned with Tengen's gaze. When Tengen's gaze turned to Nezuko's direction, Chinatsu was already sitting in front of Nezuko with a smile on her face.
Nezuko wouldn't do this job either!
