Mamiya was stunned when he heard Ogata's question.
Raising his hand and scratching his hair,
"...Actually, I have never been to such a place."
"I thought you were going to tell me where you learned how to visit places like this before."
"I really haven't learned this stuff before... Anyway, you just have to adapt to the situation after you get in. I'm going to this inn first."
After saying that, Mamiya ignored Ogata and left directly from Ogata.
Ogata looked at Mamiya's leaving figure.
Then he looked at the large gold medal that the palace had just given him in the middle of his hand.
Then he murmured at a volume that only he could hear clearly:
"I regret cooperating with that guy..."
After sighing silently, Ogata tightened his grip on the large gold medal in his hand, and walked toward the brothel in front of him with steps that were neither firm nor powerful...
…
…
Pushing open the paper sliding door, the first thing that penetrated Ogata's nostrils was the thick smell of powder.
As soon as he stepped into the brothel, a fat middle-aged man quickly greeted him with a flattering smile on his face.
"Guest! Welcome!"
"You look a little unfamiliar! Is this your first time here?"
"um, yes."
"So do you know any girls?"
"No……"
"Do you need us to recommend one to you?"
"Then... just recommend me any one."
After saying that, Ogata raised his right thumb and flicked the gold medal held in his right hand towards the middle-aged man.
After receiving the big prize money from Ogata, the middle-aged man immediately started to smile.
"It's easy to talk! I'll make arrangements for you immediately, guest officer! By the way! Do you need some drinks?"
"Then...let's do it a little bit."
"okay!"
…
…
This middle-aged man greeted Ogata warmly and led the way into the depths of the brothel.
After Ogata and the middle-aged man left, a short man who had been hiding in the darkness near the counter silently walked out of this inconspicuous shadow corner.
He looked at the place where Ogata's back disappeared with a meaningful look.
Then he quickly rushed out of the brothel.
…
…
Mamiya was hiding on a 3-story wooden roof next to the brothel.
Mamiya was lying on top of it, observing all the movements in the brothel in front of him.
When he saw a short man running out of the brothel and then running straight away from Matsucho, a faint smile appeared on Mamiya's face.
"Good luck..."
After that, Mamiya jumped off the roof with agility, and then followed closely behind the short man while keeping a certain distance from him.
Although Mamiya realized that the short man who ran out of the brothel first might be a decoy.
The brothel prepared two messengers. The first messenger ran in the wrong direction, and the second messenger ran in the right direction, in order to confuse possible stalkers and could not rule out this possibility.
But because of the current shortage of manpower, Mamiya can only take a gamble.
It's a bet that this group of "Yakuza" didn't realize that someone would be following them, or they lacked anti-tracking experience, so they didn't prepare two informants.
…
…
Under the guidance of this middle-aged man, Ogata entered a long corridor.
On both sides of this corridor, there are rooms one after another.
Through the sliding paper doors, Ogata could hear some... strange sounds from these rooms.
The middle-aged man stopped in front of a paper sliding door that made no strange noise from inside, and then opened the paper sliding door.
Inside is a relatively clean small room as big as several tatami mats.
"Sir, please rest inside for a while! Drinks will be served soon!"
After Ogata entered the room, the middle-aged man closed the paper sliding door again.
Ogata looked around.
This room has a bedding and a closet.
Opening the closet, the space inside is quite large and can accommodate an adult man like Ogata.
After looking through every corner of the room and finding nothing suspicious or strange, Oubon sat cross-legged in the center of the room.
The attendants in this brothel did not keep Ogata waiting too long.
After a while, a little girl dressed as an attendant brought in 3 bottles of sake and 2 wine glasses.
Before Ogata had time to open the sake and have a drink, the sliding door was opened again.
The person who opened the sliding paper door was still a girl.
But it's not the dress of a servant.
She didn't have anything to eat or drink in her hands.
And her face is much prettier than that of the maid who came to deliver the wine just now...
…
…
"Guest officer."
This girl with a better face had just introduced herself to Ogata.
She said her name was Ajia, but it was unclear whether it was her real name or her pseudonym Ogata.
Ajia, who was sitting next to Ogata, was wearing a bright red kimono, pouring wine for Ogata with a skillful technique and talking to Ogata.
"You are so handsome."
"Thank you." Ogata smiled politely at her while accepting her glass of wine.
But at this time, Ogata didn't really want to drink. The reason why he asked the middle-aged man to bring him a drink just now was just a casual comment.
Put the poured wine to your lips, cover it with your fingers, pretend to take a sip, and then put the glass down.
While he was pretending to sip wine just now, Ogata had been secretly looking at Ajia.
Ajia, who has a pretty face, is wearing a bright red kimono.
Judging from his appearance, he is about 18 years old.
Those who can skillfully use honorifics to talk to Ogata must either have received a good education in the past, or have been well trained by the people in the brothel after coming to the brothel.
After Ogata put down the wine glass in his hand, Ajia suddenly stood up.
Then he quickly walked down from the bedding placed next to the room, spread it on the tatami, and lay down on it in a "big" shape.
"Okay, sir. Let's get started."
As Ajia spoke, he untied the belt of his kimono.
Looking at Ajia who was already prepared, a look of astonishment appeared on Ogata's face.
What? It started so soon?
Are all brothels like this? So straightforward?
Don’t you need to continue drinking and flirting with your guests?
Ah Jia noticed that Ogata was looking at her in astonishment and then looked at Ogata with doubtful eyes.
"Sir, what's wrong? Why are you still standing there?"
"...Well..." Ogata said softly to Ajia after hesitating for a while, "You...are different from what I imagined..."
Hearing what Ogata said, Ajia was slightly stunned.
Afterwards, Ajia hurriedly sat up and apologized to Ogata in a somewhat anxious tone:
"I'm sorry, sir! Did my little girl do something inappropriate just now?"
