Edo, a certain tea house, a certain private room.

"Two distinguished guests, this is your tea."

Qingteng often visited this tea house.

There is no special reason why he became a regular customer of this shop. It is just that it is close to the Imperial Guard Hall, so Aoto occasionally visits the shop when he gets off work or returns from Chishiya, Little Chiba Kenkan and other places.

I will go to this tea house to have a few drinks in a moment of high spirits.

"Thanks."

The person serving the tea at Qingdou Ou——a young man who must be around 15 years old nodded politely.

While the boy quickly placed the two cups of hot tea on the tea tray on the table in front of Qingteng, he used cautious and careful movements to secretly look at the beautiful woman sitting opposite Qingteng... that is, Otsuki Minoru's face and figure.

His larynx, which had grown slightly due to his new puberty, moved up and down slightly.

Her childish eyes exude fascination and longing.

Although these actions of the young man are very subtle, for Qingdeng who has "Eagle Eye +1" and has amazing eyesight, the young man's sight and demeanor are all invisible in Qingdeng's eyes.

shape.

Looking at this young hand who was peeking at Otsuki Minoru crazily, Qingto couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It’s no wonder that this inexperienced young man was so embarrassed in front of Otsuki Minoru.

After all, according to the three views of the Edo period, Otsuki Minoru was definitely a beautiful woman.

She has beautiful facial features, elegant appearance, fair skin with a healthy light red color, and her hair is black, shiny and full of luster.

The mature makeup makes her face as bright as a peach, and there is a mature and charming demeanor from the corners of her eyebrows, and she shows a dignified manner in every gesture.

The upper body outlined by the dark brown kimono is uneven, and the upper part of the kimono is stretched outward; the waist covered by a black belt is as smooth as a willow.

The most important thing is that the back of Otsuki Minoru's neck is very beautiful, with well-proportioned and graceful lines. The untanned neck flesh exudes a transparent texture under the light.

A kimono is a kind of clothing that can wrap a person extremely tightly. Even the coolest yukata only exposes half of the lower leg than an ordinary kimono.

There is a saying: when a woman wears very little, men will always focus on the areas covered by the fabric; when a woman wears a lot of clothes, men will always focus on the areas not covered by the fabric.

Therefore, no matter what type of kimono it is, the back of the neck is always exposed outside the fabric, and it has become a key part of people's attention.

Over time, the nape of the neck became the favorite sexual fetish of young and old men in the Edo period.

One of the criteria that many people consider when choosing a spouse or daughter-in-law is whether the woman's back neck looks good or not.

The reason why Yoshiwara, the wandering girls in the Okinawan place, and the geishas who play and sing, always pull their collars back greatly, exposing the whole back of their necks or even half of their backs, is to better attract men.

The last time we met... it was a hasty reunion at the fireworks display 4 months ago. Because the meeting time was short, it was night, the light was dim, and Qingnobo had no interest in Otsuki Minoru, so the last time we met

At that time, Qingden didn't pay much attention to Otsuki Minoru's appearance.

Now that I have some free time, I can calmly and carefully observe Otsuki Minoru from head to toe. Even Seito, who has a strong prejudice against Otsuki Minoru, can't help but admit: Otsuki Minoru is indeed a person in appearance.

A very attractive girl.

No wonder "Original Orange Qingden" would love this woman to death.

The young mobile phone obviously still has a lot of work to do. Moreover, he has been secretly looking at the face and figure of the woman who is obviously from a good background. If someone discovers it, it may cause unreasonable disaster, so the young mobile phone does not dare to stay in the private room for a long time and puts it away.

After drinking tea, he bowed gently to Qingteng and Otsuki, and left quickly with the tea tray in hand, not forgetting to close the door tightly when leaving.

The tea cup that is boiling until it is steaming is an excellent hand warmer in this season.

Qingden held the tea cup tightly with both hands, and while using the strong warmth attached to the cup to warm his frozen palms, he raised the cup and took a sip.

"So, Miss Otsuki, why did you suddenly come to see me?"

After swirling the sip of tea in his mouth and swallowing it, Qingdeng wrapped his polite words with euphemisms and sent cold questions to the woman in front of him with whom he had a complicated relationship that was constantly being resolved and messed up.

Get straight to the point without any small talk.

Qingden deliberately used the unfamiliar title of "Miss Otsuki".

About 20 minutes ago, Qingto was walking on the way out of the Trial Guard Hall, preparing to go to Chishiya. While he was lazily spending today's vacation strengthening his relationship with Kinoshita Mai and practicing the sword-drawing technique, he suddenly met someone he hadn't seen for a long time.

See the full moon.

No...it might not be accurate to say it was a "accidental encounter", because Otsuki Minoru obviously came prepared.

That area is the only way Qingdeng must pass when leaving the Trial Guard Hall.

Whether he was going to work at the government office where the thieves were reformed, or looking for girls such as Mai Kinoshita, Qingto would have to pass through that area.

As soon as Aoto appeared, Otsuki Minoru hurriedly walked out of a nearby alley and walked quickly towards Aoto.

It was obvious - Otsuki had done reconnaissance in advance and figured out where Qingden always appeared, so he set up an "ambush" in advance.

After 4 months, this woman who played an important role in the memory of "Original Orange Qingden" appeared in front of him again. Qingteng was really surprised.

He always thought that he would never have the chance to meet Otsuki Minoru again after seeing each other at the fireworks display this summer.

He had no intention of reconnecting with Otsuki Minoru, so after seeing Otsuki Minoru's face again, Qingden's mood was calm and there was no ripple in his heart.

Before Aoto asked Otsuki "Why are you here?", Otsuki took the lead and bowed towards Aoto with a sad face. His upper body and lower body were at a standard 90 degrees, and the whole back of his neck was exposed to Aoto.

In front of my eyes, I could vaguely see the deep bow of my smooth and delicate back through the gaps in my clothes.

"Tangerine-kun, please help me!"

The first words he spoke made Monk Qingden Zhanger confused.

Although it was still early and there were not many pedestrians on the street, there were still a few bearers and foot traders who had been up early and stayed late at night walking back and forth on the street.

A well-dressed beauty with a beautiful face begged a samurai master for help in broad daylight and in full view of everyone... This kind of excitement is something you have to see!

As a result, in the blink of an eye, no less than four people stopped to watch, and the number of people continued to increase.

To be honest, Qingto was confused by what Otsuki Minoru said. For a moment, he wanted to just leave Otsuki Minori on the spot.

If it is "Original Tachibana Aoden", then he may still be nostalgic for this former goddess.

But Qingto has no feelings for Otsuki Minoru at all.

Seeing her asking him for help without any foreshadowing, Qingdeng had no other feeling except frowning because he was deeply confused.

But maybe it was out of curiosity. I was curious about what Otsuki Minoru meant by "help me". Seeing Otsuki Minoru's sincere look on the ground that she almost knelt on the ground, Qingto did not ignore Otsuki Minoru after all.

Anyway, I'm very free today and have a lot of time, so let's listen to what she wants to say.

The middle of the street, with so many people coming and going, is not a good place for conversation, so Qingteng took Otsuki Minoru to this teahouse and opened a private room where outsiders would not disturb him.

Qingdeng is straight to the point, and Da Yueshi is also unambiguous.

She didn't even bother to drink the hot tea on the table, she bent down and said sadly in a pleading tone:

"Tachibana-kun, please save my husband! He, he was captured by Yakuza of the Qingshui Clan!"

Otsuki Minoru's husband—that is, the young and wealthy man named Otsuki Tsuneji.

Qingshui clan, take away... The effect produced by the combination of this noun and this verb made Qingden frown slightly unconsciously.

…

Otsuki Minoru, with slightly red eyes, choked with sobs, explained the ins and outs to Qingdeng.

Otsuki Minoru's eloquence was not very good, and she spoke awkwardly. Qingden concentrated and listened hard, and finally managed to hear what was going on——

4 months ago, in order to expand their business territory, Otsuki Minoru and her husband Otsuki Tsuneji came to Edo to discuss cooperation with the super local snakes that are difficult to avoid for anyone who wants to start big trade in Edo: the "Shimizu Clan"

, trying to join forces with the "Shimizu Clan" to run a liquor business and sell water from the upper reaches of the Kinki region to Edo.

Then, Aoto accidentally met Otsuki Minoru and his friends who came to the right arm at the fireworks display, and later saved them from Gosaku Shimizu who suddenly went crazy.

When they first arrived in Edo, they encountered such terrifying things, and the person who gave them such a bad experience happened to be the person they wanted to start business cooperation with.

Although Shimizu Gosaku does not hold any real power in the "Shimizu Clan", to put it harshly, this person is just the coach of the "Shimizu Clan": the dog that Shimizu Eiichi keeps by his side. His sexual harassment of Otsuki Minoru and his

The beatings by Otsuki Tsuneji and others were all his personal behavior and had nothing to do with the entire "Shimizu Clan", but many people were still frightened by this unexpected disaster.

Many of Otsuki Tsuneji's friends have given up: Why don't we go back to Nara?

This is how differences arise.

Some people wanted to return to Nara, while others, led by Otsuki Tsuneji, insisted on staying in Edo.

Although Otsuki Tsuneji has a glorious status as a "rich generation" that is envied by countless people and seems to live a carefree life, he also has his own worries.

The glorious achievements of his ancestors and fathers overwhelmed him.

When people mention him Otsuki Changci, they will only think of him as the grandson of XXX and the son of YYY.

The ambitious Otsuki Changji didn't like this.

He is eager to make some achievements as soon as possible to prove his ability and get rid of the shadow of his ancestors and fathers.

The wine business with the Qingshui clan is a great opportunity to prove his ability in one fell swoop.

So even though he was the one who was beaten the hardest by Gosaku Shimizu, he still had the determination to never go back unless he achieved great results.

After several fierce arguments, Otsuki Tsuneji finally parted ways with those who wanted to go back.
