Chapter 16

Xia Yujie was a little embarrassed and quickly changed his address: "Hello sir, may I ask how you know Gojo Satoru?"

Shinichi Hinawa kept moving his hands and quickly stripped himself down to his inner clothes. When he heard Geto Suguru's question, he looked over with a hint of surprise.

"So Gojo Satoru never told you about me?"

Listening to his determined tone, as if he occupied a very important position in Gojo Satoru's mind, Xia Yujie thought about it carefully.

Hair color, eye color, except for gender, well, he is a boy.

"You are Tokyo!" Xia Youjie's pupils shrank. How could he see Tokyo as a weak girl who couldn't take care of herself?

Geto Suguru remembered what Gojo Satoru once said, that even the Tokyo he saw with his own eyes was the same as that of ordinary people, and he could completely blend into the crowd.

"Don't I look like one?" The boy blinked his lake-blue eyes. Suddenly, a pair of soft ears stood up on his head, and two slender tails emerged from behind him. "Well, does this look like one?"

Looking at the iconic features of Nekomata, Geto Suguru wanted to laugh. Why did the city consciousness in front of him give him the illusion of a child? How did he think that he could be identified by having ears and a tail? But then he thought again, the other party was the type who would snatch snacks from Gojo Satoru, so it was not too much for him to do such a thing.

As a student at Tokyo High School, Geto Suguru knew more than the average person, but not much more. He first learned about the existence of city consciousness on the Internet, similar to the dark heroes in novels and comics. At that time, he still regarded it as a strange story, and even imagined what city consciousness would look like based on the characteristics of Tokyo.

He should be a senior elite who gives people a sense of stability. After all, Tokyo is still an international metropolis. Considering the fact that it acts as the capital, he may still be the boss in the consciousness of all cities.

However, this fantasy did not last long. After learning from Gojo Satoru about the real existence of city consciousness, the image of Tokyo in his mind became strange. In addition, he never had the opportunity to see Tokyo, so he never had a concrete concept.

Who would have thought that it was really as Gojo Satoru said!

Seeing Geto's expression of broken filter, the cat became indignant again: "What's that expression! If Kyoto hadn't said that the bond between cities and humans is the deepest, we should maintain the basic human form. I wouldn't want to hide my tail and ears."

Geto Suguru took a deep breath and tried to calm the angry Tokyo Meow Meow.

"No, you are different from the Tokyo I imagined." Seeing the change in Nekomata's expression, Xiayou Jie immediately changed his tone, "But you are much more majestic than I thought, and you seem to be worthy of being Tokyo!"

Almost visibly, Geto discovered that Tokyo's tail was tilting upward. The boy with the ball-shaped hair was a little confused. Are all cities so easy to understand?

After smoothing the cat's fur, Xia Youjie returned to the topic: "Then can you tell me why you are here?"

"This is Tokyo." The boy said matter-of-factly, "And I am Tokyo."

The implication is that it's not strange no matter where he appears, what's strange are the sorcerers running around.

Tokyo added: "This is not the place for you to come in, but since you are here, I need you to do me a favor."

Geto noticed the plural word he used, and sure enough, Gojo Satoru also came in like him. But he didn't ask much, if anyone could know more about Tokyo's abnormality, it would be no one except Tokyo, so it would be best if he could help Tokyo.

"Please let me be of assistance."

When he said this, Xia Youjie felt a chill on his back. Why did he have this illusion? He didn't think much about it. When he was about to ask what kind of help he could get, he found that he was suddenly speechless and even lost the sense of his body.

He heard Tokyo Consciousness' tone become a little happier: "You actually agreed. I thought you would hesitate. Gojo Satoru would definitely not agree."

Panic? Anger? Probably a little bit of both. Xia Youjie couldn't figure out why Tokyo wanted to plot against him? Or what good would it do for Tokyo to defeat him? As sorcerers, most humans would not be their opponents, so ordinary people were to them just like they were to the city consciousness.

Obviously the conversation just now was quite pleasant...

The pair of lake blue eyes were still as clear and innocent, but its owner came closer and spoke cruelly, "My next actions may cause you great pain. For your own good, please fall asleep for a while."

Immediately afterwards, a soft hand covered Xia Youjie's eyes, blocking his vision and causing him to feel sleepy.

No, I can't fall asleep. At least I have to leave a message for Gojo Satoru here, telling him to be careful about Tokyo...

Finally, the irresistible sleepiness made the ball-head sorcerer fall into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Youjie woke up from his coma, his eyes were so groggy that he could only open a crack.

"You're awake, don't worry, the operation was successful." A familiar voice sounded faintly in my ears.

Xia Yujie was startled by the voice and sat up quickly. As expected, the person who said this was his classmate and close friend Gojo Satoru.

"How did you find me?" Xia Youjie just asked and suddenly felt a little strange.

The Gojo Satoru in front of him was wearing a light blue furisode, a cute hair accessory on his head, and a shy look on his face. No matter how you looked at him, he was dressed like a little girl.

"Hello, Tayane. I'm the bald man who came here to serve you." Gojo Satoru said shyly.

Xia Youjie rubbed his eyes, but the scenery in front of him did not change, so he blurted out: "Wu, are you broken?"

Gojo Satoru finally couldn't hold back his expression anymore, and he lay on the tatami and laughed: "You're talking about me, but the Summer Oil Oiran is not much better!"

With Gojo Satoru's reminder, Geto Suguru finally reacted and checked on himself.

The golden and red dress, with large red spider lily patterns embroidered in golden thread, was extremely gorgeous and heavy. As an oiran costume, it was naturally pleasing to the eye when worn by the right person.

Xiayou Jie fell silent. If he remembered correctly, this was originally worn by Tokyo, but now it was put on him. Thinking of Tokyo's series of actions, Xiayou Jie suddenly understood that what Tokyo meant by asking him for help was this!

The young man with a gloomy face stood up and was about to take off his clothes, but was immediately stopped by Gojo Satoru.

"I don't recommend you take it off. After all, we need an identity."

Xia Youjie still couldn't accept women's clothing: "We can change our identities."

Gojo Satoru shook his head: "Do you think this is an ordinary red-light district where you can just disguise yourself and come in? The identities here are given to you and can be exchanged, but not abandoned."

Geto Xiayou pondered for a moment and temporarily accepted that he had to act in a women's kimono.

"How long have you been here before me? How much do you know about this place? Did you know that Tokyo is also here?" Xia Youjie asked several questions in one breath.

Gojo Satoru took a deep breath and recounted his experiences over the past few days.

"I entered this world at around 6pm. If you also came here to carry out Teacher Ye Moth's mission, then the time between us wouldn't be that long. But according to the speed of time here, I've already been here for a week..."

The six eyes are a pair of magical eyes and are also outstanding in collecting intelligence.

"I can't find a way to leave this barrier, but based on my observations over the past few days, this is a dream barrier. If we find the owner of the dream, maybe we can leave here."

"Dream? It must be a nightmare." Suguru Geto said this out of professional consideration.

Gojo Satoru smiled and said, "If it was a woman from Yoshiwara, it would definitely be a nightmare. If it was a guest here, it's hard to say. But in my opinion, this is a woman's dream. The location of the dream is Yoshiwara. I have tried to go out, but I always come back here. If it was a man, they would not be bound to the flower street."

Xia Yujie thought this inference was very reliable, and he also drew his own conclusion from it: "Because they are women from Yoshiwara, most of their identities in their dreams are flower girls, guests, old men... We can only act in these identities."

At first he didn't understand why Tokyo wanted to exchange clothes with him, but now it seems that Tokyo's purpose is very clear. In the red-light district, women's activities are restricted, but if we talk about the role with the greatest degree of freedom, his previous identity as a customer was very free.

"So this is what Tokyo thinks." Suguru Geto murmured.

Gojo Satoru smiled and joked, "No, maybe he just wants to see you wearing women's clothes." Thinking of his own experience of persecution, and now that there is someone to accompany him in wearing women's clothes, Gojo Satoru suddenly feels that wearing women's clothes is not so unacceptable.

After a small interruption, Gojo Satoru suddenly asked, "Jae, do you know the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Are you talking about the ghost hunters who were active from the Heian period to the Taisho period?" Geto Suguru, who had studied historical texts seriously, reacted immediately.

"Oh, yes, we seem to have mistakenly entered the battlefield of the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Ahqiu!" Shinichi Hirin sneezed violently.

[Host, is it Geto Summer Oil who is talking about you? ]

"I don't know. I don't want to care." Hinawa Shinichi didn't care how two technical high school students received oiran training in the red-light district. It wouldn't be a happy memory anyway. Maybe after this experience, the two technical high school students wouldn't rely on their talents to touch things randomly.

[Host, do you know? Although you stripped Geto of Xia Yu's clothes, Geto's favorability towards you has not decreased. ]

"Are you sure he didn't lose favor when I was controlling him?"

[It was just that moment, and all the prices just rose back. ]

Shinichi Hinawa said a few perfunctorily and then blocked the system. Now he had to get into the role and be a qualified red-light district customer.

"Sir, don't you like my tea?" The alias of Warabihime, whose true form is Upper Six, Fuhime handed the freshly brewed tea to Shinichi Hirin.
