As Tengen turned his gaze toward Tanjiro and the others, the three children couldn't help but tremble.
They broke into... a brothel?
But we're guys!
The three little ones looked completely bewildered, and just then, the things that Tianyuan had asked the shopkeeper to bring when they entered the store arrived.
Cosmetics from the Taisho era!
"Don't worry, my makeup skills are quite splendid. Even if you look like this, you can definitely sneak into the three major brothels!"
As Tengen spoke, he took out cosmetics from the Taisho era from the small basket that had been brought over. Looking at the three little ones who were about to be persecuted, after a moment of inner hesitation, Chika raised a hand and spoke up to stop Tengen's "atrocity".
"Let me do it."
“That’s fine too. A woman wearing women’s makeup can indeed be more glamorous than me.” Tengen didn’t insist. Chika was someone he recognized as being close to himself in terms of glamour.
Qianxia's lips twitched slightly. She didn't have the confidence to do makeup for others; she was just confident that her aesthetic sense was a little more normal than Tianyuan's.
If we were to rate Tianyuan's makeup skills, they would definitely get a "negative score." The reason he was able to get away with it in the original work was simply because it was so abstract.
Extravagant bright red lips.
A round and large blush.
Inhuman eyelashes.
Regardless of the consequences, a layer of white foundation was applied to the entire face.
When Chika saw this scene, she was drinking milk tea and almost spat it all over her phone screen.
Good heavens, that's really good heavens!
At that moment, Chika picked up some cosmetics from the basket—something she couldn't name but was probably makeup—and turned to the three little ones with a smile, saying, "Who wants to go first?"
The three children trembled, and none of them, including Tanjiro, took a single step forward.
Qianxia took a deep breath, her anger rising rapidly. She really wanted to say... "I'm saving you, don't be ungrateful!"
Chinatsu's smile instantly turned grim; though she still smiled, it now seemed like a devil's smile.
"Who...would you like to go first?"
An hour later.
Chika paused her work with a somewhat subtle expression, thinking to herself that she could probably be considered "not bad?", since it was better than Tengen's drawing.
Reflected in the mirror inside the room, all three saw their current appearance.
Actually, all three of them have good features. In the original work, even when Tanjiro removed his foundation and only had blush left, he was not immediately recognized as a man. Zenitsu's case was a bit more subtle, but it was still much better than Tengen's drawing, which was described as "not flattering in appearance".
As for Inosuke...
The Inosuke in the mirror is absolutely stunning. He was designed to inherit his mother's beauty. Even a courtesan like Daki couldn't help but marvel at his level of beauty. To be honest, even if Inosuke didn't wear makeup, as long as he didn't speak, no one would think that Inosuke was a boy.
Chika looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, while Tengen behind her pinched his chin with one hand and sized up the three of them.
"Chika, your skills aren't that great either."
"………………"
Chinatsu really wanted to punch him, but her rationality prevailed. Otherwise, this hotel would definitely have exploded—no exaggeration!
"Since they're all ready, I'll get ready too." After saying that, Tianyuan raised her hand and began to remove her gorgeous jewelry and makeup from her face.
I look so glamorous in my formal attire!
I look glamorous even without makeup!
As Tengen finished removing her makeup, Zenitsu, who was standing opposite her, was stunned, followed by disbelief and gritted teeth.
Are you kidding me? He's such a handsome guy!
He was already incredibly envious of having three wives, but seeing that the other party was actually a handsome man made him even more envious.
"How about it? I look glamorous even without makeup, right?"
Tengen looked at Chika, wanting to see her reaction, but found that Chika's reaction was unexpectedly calm.
"What...isn't it gorgeous?"
"Huh? Are you asking me? Gorgeous, of course it's gorgeous." Chika paused for a moment, then answered with a smile.
Tengen was a little disappointed. He felt that Chika was not shocked by his other gorgeous appearance. At the same time, Nezuko's hostility towards Tengen intensified.
This man... he really was seducing my sister!!!
Afterwards, Tanjiro and the others changed into women's clothing and came out of the inn.
Chinatsu and Tengen walked side by side in front, with Tanjiro and the others following behind. As they walked out of the inn and onto the street, many passersby were attracted by this group.
There was no way around it; the leader, Tengen, was a handsome man, and the woman beside him, Chika, was an extremely rare beauty. Behind them was the heavyweight "Inosuke," making it hard not to attract attention.
At this moment, a parade of "Koika," the top courtesan of the Tokitoya, is being held. As Koika, dressed in an extremely expensive kimono, walks step by step down the street, she is surrounded by onlookers on both sides.
The courtesan is so high-ranking that it's hard to describe her as just a "prostitute." Countless people want to redeem her, and the price for her redemption keeps rising.
Even so, the proprietress of the geisha house would not sell the courtesan indiscriminately, because the courtesan's value is not only on paper, but also enhances the reputation of the entire geisha house. Therefore, unless a new person appears in the house who can replace the courtesan, it is difficult for the courtesan to be redeemed by someone else.
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered around the courtesan parade of the Tokitoya, but as Chika and the others passed by, those watching the courtesan would still involuntarily turn their heads to glance at Chika and the others.
The proprietress of Ogimoto-ya, who was originally passing by to watch the Koikaku geisha parade, was also among them.
Her pupils widened, scanning the large group of people like a radar scan.
Tianyuan: What a handsome man!
Chinatsu: A rare beauty, she could definitely be groomed into the top courtesan to surpass Kyogokuya and Tokitoya. However, judging from her demeanor, she doesn't seem to come from a wealthy family, so she must be someone extraordinary...
Tanjiro: A very ordinary girl.
Zenitsu: That's pretty average.
Inosuke: This is!!!
The proprietress's pupils dilated in shock. Inosuke's looks were on par with those of a courtesan in her eyes, and judging from her demeanor... yes, he was prey!
The proprietress hurried over with brisk steps, "tap! tap! tap!" and soon caught up with Chika's group ahead.
"Hey! This child is going to be sold to a brothel, right? Then sell him to me!" The proprietress's eyes lit up; she was already determined to pay a hefty price to buy Inosuke.
When Tengen saw that the other party was actually the proprietress of Ogimoto-ya, he immediately opened his mouth, wanting to give it to her for free. However, before Tengen could say this, Chika kicked him in the thigh, forcibly silencing him.
Chika looked at the proprietress of Ogimoto-ya in front of her and asked with a smile, "How much can you offer?"
