Chapter 188 Rich Man
My brother looks like this now... and he looks like a child...
Thinking this in his mind, Yuan instinctively reached into his arms, wanting to hold the piccolo that he had carried with him for most of his life.
But... the hand that was stretched out to his arms was now empty. Yunyi also realized at this time that when he returned from the underworld, Piccolo was no longer with him.
The rising sun emitted warm sunlight, which fell on Yunyi's somewhat gloomy face. Feeling the warmth of the sun, Yunyi cheered up and looked behind him.
Sitting in the box, Kokushibo looked at his short arms and legs with a strange expression, and a sense of shame arose spontaneously.
At this moment, looking at the box containing Kokushibo in front of him and the sun rising in the sky, Tanjiro touched his chin and thought secretly.
Seeing that no one was lifting the box, Kokushibo frowned. In the transparent world, Tanjiro beside him was motionless as if thinking about something. Suddenly, an ominous premonition came to Kokushibo's heart, and he hurriedly asked Tanjiro in a muffled voice.
"…Little brat…what are you thinking about…"
Immersed in thought, Tanjiro subconsciously spoke out what was on his mind when he was questioned.
"I was wondering...what would happen if I left you now..."
After saying that, he immediately came to his senses, covered his mouth, and looked at Yunyi beside him with an expression as if he was in trouble again.
When Kokushibo heard Tanjiro's thoughts, he was silent at first, and then the whole box began to vibrate violently, and angry voices came out of it.
"you dare!!"
Looking at the vibrating box, Yoriichi just thought about the feasibility of Tanjiro's idea, but in the end he still thought it would be better to take the other person along.
Just as he was about to take a step towards the box, Kokushibo's voice rang out again.
"Let this little brat carry it!"
By making such a request, Kokushibo naturally had his own plans. Although he didn't know why, Yoriichi was very concerned about this little devil. As long as he held the little devil in his hands, Yoriichi would not escape secretly.
When Yoshiichiro heard Kokushibo's request, he stopped and looked at Tanjiro who looked innocent. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face, and he nodded to signal Tanjiro to carry him on his back.
Seeing Mr. Yoniichi's signal, Tanjiro looked bitter but still did as he was told. He held the shoulder strap connected to the box. As soon as Tanjiro put it on his back, an unbearable weight instantly pressed on his shoulders!
"Forehead!"
With a scream, Tanjiro was directly thrown to the ground by the box. He struggled like a turtle that had turned over its shell, but was unable to get up. In the end, he could only beg for help from Kokushibo in the box.
"Hey... Brother... could you please make the weight lighter..."
As for the Kokushibo in the box, whether it was because his appearance had become smaller or for some other reason, he had succeeded in his revenge, and at this moment, a hint of pride flashed in his six eyes that had not appeared for a long time.
"…Try to maintain the Sun Breathing for a long time…This is to train your use of the Sun Breathing…No need to thank me…"
Hearing this, Tanjiro's face turned pale. Since the other party had said such words, he was no longer able to refute.
"All right…"
call…
Taking a deep breath, a warm current spread to his limbs, his muscles bulged, and the pressure on his shoulders was reduced in an instant. Tanjiro gritted his teeth, stood up, and spoke with difficulty to Yoshiichi who was not far away.
“…Let’s go….”
Just like that, on the way to Asakusa, Yoriichi and Tanjiro had an unexpected "companion".
At the same time, in a small town near Yoshiwara, Wolf and his three companions came here.
As soon as he entered the town, Xuan Mi was stunned by the prosperous scene before him.
"Is this Yoshiwara? There are so many people..."
The town is not big, but it has many buildings. Upon closer inspection, most of them are hotels and teahouses. Most of the people coming in and out are men, with unsteady steps and ruddy faces. Some are even unconscious and are carried in.
Moreover, the goods sold in the surrounding shops were also quite luxurious, including expensive hair accessories, beautiful clothes and fabrics, precious rouge and powder, and accessories made of gold. The glittering light made Xuan Mi's eyes hurt.
They couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations, causing the surrounding crowd of curious people to laugh at Xuan Mi frequently. Seeing this, Xuan Mi frowned slightly and said to them unhappily.
"what's so funny!"
With their naturally ferocious faces and the fact that the three men were all carrying long swords, these weak men immediately wilted and left the presence of the three men in shame.
"Humph."
With a muffled groan, Xuan Mi curled his lips as he looked at the backs of the few people. When he saw them leave, Shanyi, who had been hesitant to speak, was finally able to speak.
"Idiot, this is not Yoshiwara, it's just a subsidiary of Yoshiwara. The real Yoshiwara is much more luxurious than this!"
Looking at Zenitsu who became more and more excited as he spoke, Xuanya became more and more curious.
"So what is this place for?"
Seeing Xuanya asking questions, Zenitsu straightened his back, coughed twice to clear his throat, and then told the story.
"In fact, many people go to Yoshiwara because they dream of spending time with an oiran... But meeting an oiran is not that easy. You have to prepare a lot of precious gifts and spend a lot of time to please an oiran."
He pointed to the hotels behind Xuan Mi and continued speaking.
"These hotels are places of stay for those who put all their energy into pleasing the courtesans. It is said that staying there for one night is quite expensive..."
Then he raised his thumb and pointed to the shops selling luxury goods behind him.
"And those are the shops that provide gifts for men..."
Listening to Zenitsu's explanation, Xuanya stared at the gold shop that sold accessories and muttered subconsciously.
“You know a lot…”
"That's~"
Touching his nose, Zenitsu raised his head proudly.
This is his dream place, so of course he has to make a good plan!
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
After saying that, he raised his head and closed his eyes, waiting for Xuan Mi's question, but he didn't hear any response after waiting for a long time. He squinted his eyes curiously and found that the other party was still staring at the gold shop.
His eyes became speechless in an instant, he lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said helplessly to Xuan Mi.
"Don't look at it. Even if an average person saves his entire life, it's still not enough to buy one there..."
As he spoke, he clutched the collar of his shirt, bit his lip, and cursed the evils of the rich in his heart.
But Xuan Mi pointed at the gold shop at this time, with a puzzled tone.
"But... Mr. Hirata has already paid the bill..."
"What did you say!"
Hearing this, Zenitsu was shocked and turned his head to look behind him. He found that Wolf was really taking out money to pay the bill. Looking at the bills one after another, Zenitsu's eyes almost popped out!
So you are a rich man?
