The bathhouse won't close until five o'clock (10 p.m.), and it's still early before five o'clock in the evening."

"Just don't forget to take a shower."

After finishing speaking, Zhizhou looked at the flickering flame of the oil lamp in front of him in ecstasy.

Is there really no way to get Ittosai-sama to join us...

The thing that worries me the most right now is the matter about Ogata.

Encountering the executioner Ittousai outdoors is a rare and rare opportunity for them who are determined to overthrow the curtain.

If possible, Naozhou doesn't want to miss Ogata, who can withstand thousands of troops...

Zhizhou racked his brains and thought.

Thinking about whether there is any way to make Ogata change his mind...

…

…

About half an hour later

"Grandpa, I'm going to take a shower."

At this time, Isshiki's voice suddenly reached Zhizhou's ears.

The sudden sound of Isshiki's voice brought Naozhou out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Has it been so long..."

Because he was so absorbed in thinking just now, Zhizhou completely forgot about the passage of time.

When I came back to my senses, a long time had passed and even the oil in the oil lamp had decreased a lot.

"Grandpa, please leave the room for a moment. I need to change my clothes." Isshiki closed the "Five Rings Book" in his palm and unpacked a package containing various clothes next to him.

"I know." Zhizhou responded casually and quickly left the room.

Standing outside the room, Naozu crossed his hands and reached into his wide sleeves, silently waiting for Isshiki to change clothes.

Kerala…

Not long after, the door to the room was opened from the inside.

After changing his clothes, Isshiki followed the opened door and walked out of the room in small steps.

Naoshu tilted his head, quickly looked at Isshiki who had changed his clothes, and then said with a half-joking smile:

"I've been used to seeing you in men's clothing during this period, and now I see you in women's clothing. I really feel a little uncomfortable."

At this moment, Isshiki is no longer wearing men's clothing and carrying a sword.

Instead, she was wearing a goose-yellow women's kimono with a light green belt. The only attire that remained unchanged was the pair of white socks on her feet.

Isshiki's response to Naoshu's joke was to ignore it.

"I plan to take a longer shower today." Isshiki said in a slightly cold tone, "so I will come back later."

After wandering in the sea for several days, they naturally did not have the conditions to take a bath slowly.

The air in the cabin is also so humid that it doesn't look like there is moisture in the air, but there is air within the moisture, making people's skin sticky.

What Isshiki wanted to do most after getting off the boat was to take a shower.

The reason why she persuaded Zhizhou to stay in this hotel for one night was because this hotel had its own bathhouse.

Faced with the long-lost opportunity to take a good bath, Isshiki didn't want to waste it so hastily.

After leaving these words, Isshiki strode towards the east side of the first floor, towards where the bathhouse is.

Looking at Isshiki's back as he strode away, Isshiki, with a look of helplessness on his face, shook his head gently and returned to the room.

…

…

Very good... Ogata Ittosai and the others are not nearby...

If Ogata Ittosai and the others saw "Isshiki Ryoma" currently wearing women's clothing, Isshiki would have to spend a lot of effort to explain, so in order to avoid trouble, she naturally wanted to avoid Ogata and the others without meeting Ogata.

them.

Isshiki moved forward cautiously, and finally arrived at the door of the bathhouse without any danger.

Since Matsudaira Sadanobu took office, he has issued many new policies and orders in order to reverse the corrupt social atmosphere in his eyes.

These new policies and orders cover all aspects, including the layout of bathhouses.

Matsudaira Sadanobu issued a specific order: no more mixed-gender bathhouses were allowed.

As soon as this new policy came out, it can be said that countless people who love mixed bathing for some reasons were miserable. They cursed Matsudaira Sadanobu as a sinner for the ages and regarded Matsudaira Sadanobu as an unforgivable evil beast.

No commoner would dare to go against the shogunate, so after the new policy was issued, all bathhouses that allowed mixed bathing for men and women or featured mixed bathing were urgently renovated. To this day, they can only be used in some remote areas that are difficult for the shogunate to control.

There is also a bathhouse that allows mixed bathing.

The hotel's own bathhouse honestly responded to the call of Matsudaira Sadanobu's policy and was divided into men's baths and women's baths.

The door leading to the men's bath has a blue curtain with "Male" written on it, and the door leading to the women's bath has a red curtain with "Female" written on it.

Just when Isshiki was about to enter the women's bath, he suddenly smelled the nauseating smell of alcohol coming from his side.

Frowning, he followed the smell and saw a group of men stinking of alcohol striding towards the bathhouse.

Isshiki hates people who reek of alcohol.

So after taking a glance at this group of people who reeked of alcohol, Isshiki quickly opened the curtain of the women's bath and entered the women's bath.

…

…

"Mr. Ichinosuke, have you seen..." A young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks swallowed hard while using his right elbow to nudge a middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears and a big belly beside him, "That one just now

The woman in the yellow kimono is so beautiful."

"Hmm..." The middle-aged man known as Ichinosuke nodded blankly.

If Zhizhou was present, he might vaguely recall that this group of people was the same group of people he encountered in the corridor when he returned to his room after using the toilet.

They are traveling businessmen who travel around selling goods.

They successfully sold out all their products today, and to celebrate, they just went out for a nice drink.

After everyone's faces were as red as a monkey's butt, they supported each other and returned to the hotel where they were staying. Then they went straight to the bathhouse, planning to take a simple bath and then have a good sleep.

.

Then they met Isshiki at the entrance of the bathhouse, who happened to be taking a bath at this time.

Everyone was so shocked by Isshiki's appearance that they couldn't move. When Isshiki entered the women's bath, they still stood there blankly.

"She is so beautiful. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman."

"It's a pity that he looks a little older. He should be in his 20s."

"It's so big there, it can be put directly on the belt, tsk tsk tsk..."

After they slowly came to their senses, they commented on Isshiki in a very rude manner.

As the saying goes, good wine makes people brave.

At this time, he was very drunk, and he was still staring blankly at Ichinosuke, who was currently having sex with a woman taking a bath, and slowly showed a lewd smile.

"Hey." Ichinosuke whispered to his companions, "Listen to me."

Under the influence of alcohol, Ichinosuke came up with a bold plan that he would never dare to implement while sober.

"Look, there's no one else around here. How about we swap the curtains of the men's bath and the women's bath?"

The lewd look on Ichinosuke's face became more and more intense.

"After exchanging the curtains, we rushed into the 'men's bath' and took the opportunity to feast our eyes on it. When asked why we entered the women's bath, we said: We indeed entered the men's bath.

."

"Huh? This, this is not good..." someone said timidly.

"What are you afraid of?" Ichinosuke said, "There is no one else around here. We insist that the curtains of the men's and women's baths are just like this. There is no evidence. What can they do to us?"

"Besides, I'm very familiar with the government here. If I attract people from the government, I might as well pay some money to settle this matter."

The effect of alcohol is powerful.

Not only was Ichinosuke made insane by alcohol, but the rest of his subordinates also lost their minds one after another.

"Yes, that's right."

"Let's do it, let's do it. It's rare to meet such a beautiful woman. It would be a pity not to take the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of your eyes."

Under the dual effects of alcohol and drugs, Ichinosuke and his group rushed toward the bathhouse.

Some people who don't want to do this have no choice but to follow along.
To be continued...
