"Mashima-kun, Miss Ayuki, if you two plan to join in the excitement of the oiran's tour, I can take you there now."

Guasheng added with a wry smile.

"The 'Oiran Road' is about to start. I definitely can't go back to the club to rest now."

"Once the 'Oiran Road' begins, our Shirobei Club will have to send a large number of personnel to maintain security on site."

"So I don't have time to rest now, I have to rush to the scene of 'Oiran Road'."

"If you two plan to watch 'Oiran Daozhong', I can take you there smoothly."

"How about it? Are you interested in seeing it?"

If you say that Ogata doesn't want to take a look at the legendary "Oiran Road" - that is definitely a lie.

Ogata has always heard about the grand scene of "Oiran Road".

Watching various wonders and strange sights that I have never seen before in my life - this is one of Ogata's few hobbies.

Therefore, Ogata was very interested in taking a look at how grand the legendary "Oiran Road" was.

And A-Machi also happened to have the same desire to join in the fun.

So the two hit it off immediately and decided to watch the scene of the oiran's tour.

"You all want to go see it?" Gua Sheng nodded, "Okay, come with me."

The three people turned and walked towards the rear of Nakano-machi, which bisected Yoshihara in the middle.

As he followed Kuanao towards the back of Nakano-machi, Atachi asked Kuaishou in front of him:

"Actually, why does the oiran lead such a large group of people around Yoshiwara? Where is she going?"

"Huh?" Guasheng, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Miss Axing, don't you know?"

"I don't know." A-Machi shook his head honestly, "I am a foreigner and I don't know much about Yoshiwara."

"I only know that 'Oiran Road' means the oiran leading a large group of people around Yoshiwara. As for why the oiran leads so many people around Yoshiwara, and where the oiran and the others are going, I don't know.

.”

"That's it..." After muttering like this, Guasheng fell silent.

It seems that he is conceiving and organizing his words.

After a short while, Gua Sheng said:

"If you want to have a romantic relationship with an oiran, you have to go through a very complicated process first."

"In other words, you have to go through many tests first."

"If you want to have a romantic relationship with an oiran, you must first go to Yoshihara's 'Yangwu'."

"Yangwu...you can understand it as a special tea house."

"A special kind of oiran who acts as an intermediary between guests and oiran."

"Hold a banquet in the Yangwu, and ask the people from the Yangwu to help you introduce the oiran."

"The journey where the oiran leads a large group of servants from the wandering girl's house to the Yang's house is called the 'Oiran's Road', also known as the 'Oiran's Tour'."

"After arriving at the Yangwu and meeting the named guests, the oiran will begin to observe the guests."

"If you don't like the guest, the oiran can just leave without saying a word."

"And the money spent by the guest on the banquet was wasted."

"Of course - very few courtesans do this. If you do this too much and leave without saying a word, it will be fatal to your popularity."

"After an oiran meets a guest, she can't immediately start having sex."

"When meeting for the first time, the guest can only chat and drink with the oiran, but can't do anything else."

"It was like this the second time we met."

"The guest cannot enter the oiran's boudoir until the third meeting."

"So generally speaking, you have to meet the oiran three times before you can truly fall in love with the oiran."

"The oiran leads a large group of people from the Younv's House to the Yang's House, and the expenses incurred on the journey from the Yang's House to the Younv's House are all borne by the guest who named the oiran."

"The expenses for the banquet will all be borne by the guest who named the oiran."

"so--"

Having said this, Guasheng shrugged.

"Just imagine how rich a person must be to be called an oiran."

After listening to Guasheng’s introduction, A-Machi twitched the corner of his mouth and murmured:

"Is it so troublesome to meet the oiran..."

"It's so troublesome and expensive." Gua Sheng said sternly, "Therefore, in the entire Edo, probably only the wealthy businessmen and the samurai with a salary of several thousand years and tens of thousands of koku are qualified to call the oiran."

"Precisely because there are not many people who are qualified to name Oiran, you don't always have the opportunity to see 'Oiran Dochu'. Is this your first time coming to Yoshiwara?"

"Yes." Ogata nodded, "This is the first time."

"Then you are really lucky. This is the first time you come to Yoshiwara, and you can see the 'Oiran Dochu'. Many people have come to Yoshiwara many times, but never have the opportunity to see it. Ah, here we are."

Ogata and Atachi followed Kuao to the very back of Nakano Town.

This place is crowded.

After receiving the news, people who came specially to watch the "Oiran Road" crowded on both sides of the road, leaving the middle of the street empty so that the Oiran and her entourage could pass through smoothly.

Ogata looked around and saw many people wearing dark blue feathers specially designed for the Shirobei Club standing on guard at various places along the avenue.

"Let's stand here." Gua Sheng casually squeezed into a small crowd on the west side street, "It's neither too close to the center of the street nor too far from the center of the street. It's a perfect viewing spot."

Ogata and Omachi stood at the spot chosen by Kuasao, waiting for the start of the "Oran Road" while casually chatting with Kuasao.

While Gua Sheng was chatting with Ogata and Atachi, he did not move his eyes and scanned around, alerting the surroundings.

Ogata thought it might take a long time for the oiran to arrive.

But I didn’t expect that after only about 5 minutes, the “Oiran Road” started.

Ogata and the others were facing the middle of the street, standing on the west side of the street.

So from the end of the street on their left, there were slowly rising noises from far to near.

Ogata turned his head and looked towards the end of the street on the left - he saw a dozen people wearing various masks jumping around and doing funny dances.

Looking at this group of people who looked like circus clowns, Ogata couldn't help but ask Gua Sheng, who was standing in front of him:

"What are these people here for?"

"They are the jugglers who are responsible for the warm-up," said Gua Sheng, "who are responsible for activating the atmosphere and creating momentum."

It has to be said that these artists responsible for enlivening the atmosphere have indeed played a lot of roles.

The atmosphere in the street, which was originally devoid of any unnecessary sounds except for the small chatter, suddenly became lively.

Behind these jugglers were several harp players who played the shamisen. In modern terms, these harp players were responsible for providing background music to these jugglers.

After this group of artists responsible for activating the atmosphere passed in front of Ogata, the next thing that appeared in Ogata's field of vision were several powerful and strong men.

These strong men all had serious eyes and held a long stick in their hands.

Even without Guasheng's introduction, Ogata knew that these strong men should be serving as bodyguards.

Following closely behind these bodyguards was a middle-aged woman.

This middle-aged woman was holding a large cylindrical lantern in her hand, with two large Chinese characters written on it - wind chime.

"Wind Chime is the name of the only oiran we have in Yoshiwara."

Gua Sheng introduced everything in detail to Ogata and Atachi behind him.

"Because of the extraordinary status of the oiran, we all add the honorific title 'tafu' after the oiran's name.

"Look, Mr. Feng Chime is here. That's Mr. Feng Chime."

Guasheng raised his hand and pointed to the end of the street on the left.

"Those two little girls, called 'bald', are the maids responsible for serving the oiran. They are also the candidates for the oiran. They are the best girls selected from a hundred to be trained as the future oiran."

"The woman behind the two bald men is Mrs. Feng Chime."

"The beautiful women behind Mr. Feng Chime are the 'new creations of Furisode'. You can also understand them as candidates for the oiran, but they are older than Bald."

"The older women behind Furisode Shinzo are the 'Bantou Shinzo', who are responsible for taking care of the oiran's daily life."

While Ogata listened carefully to Guaou's explanation, he turned his attention to the dozen girls walking slowly in the middle of the street.

Even without Gua Sheng's explanation, Ogata could tell at a glance who the Wind Chime Taifu was.

Because it's so obvious.

The momentum of the Feng Chime Taifu's patrol can be described as "calling in front and supporting behind".

First there were two little girls in front of them, probably only about 10 years old.
