"Genichiro, what's that temple on the hillside for?"

Butterfly endured curious questions and woke up Genichiro from his nap.

[Now that I’ve slept for a while, my body must have changed a bit.]

Soon, Genichiro felt the changes he wanted.

He just took a nap on the rickshaw. After opening his eyes, he suddenly felt that his eyes were clear and clear, and his brain became extremely flexible. Thoughts were flying around in his mind without any feeling of obstruction. Even the memory in many games

Even unclear item descriptions can be recalled clearly.

He even had the illusion that a separate place in his mind had been cleared to store garbage, and even his usually heavy mood became much lighter.

[Is this the effect of increasing the secret skill (intelligence) by 1 point? 】

Although he now has no spells to use except Ba Zhilei, it can make him smarter than before, which is an unexpected blessing.

"Genichiro?"

After getting no response for a long time, Butterfly Ninja raised his eyebrows and patted him, "You're not really going to fall asleep, are you?"

"Sorry, I stayed up all night last night. It's still too much for a person of my age."

Genichiro calmly concealed the joy brought about by his increased IQ.

"How old are you?"

Sensing that Genichiro's expression was lighter than usual, and saying such words, the Butterfly Ninja suddenly wanted to grab his face.

But she still controlled her hand.

"Don't act like an old man all the time. Let me ask you, why are the temples over there so shabby?"

On the hillside north of Yoshiwara Yuguo, a ruined temple was lying there alone. There were obviously fireworks, but there was no one around, and it looked extremely deserted.

This kind of temple stands near Yoshiwara, where the fireworks are the strongest, and it is particularly interesting.

Genichiro turned on his spiritual vision in that direction, and immediately discovered that the temple was surrounded by layers of black mist, which was much more solid than the mist that entangled the trio of knife testers.

Presumably if he got closer there, there would be many paper figures flying towards Genichiro.

Speaking of which, such a place should be very suitable for placing the dilapidated Buddhist temple he had drawn previously.

After all, this place is located in the Arakawa River, and there are many workers around who died with resentment, not to mention those miserable geishas, ​​few of whom can live past the age of thirty.

If there are ghosts and Buddhas in Buddhist temples, the ghosts (paper figures) of these dead people will have a place to go.

Genichiro's mind was spinning, and he remembered that Miss Warabihime once told Kuro about the origin of this temple, so he began to learn more about Butterfly Ninja.

"That's the famous Jōkanji Temple in Yoshiwara. If any Yoshiwara girl escapes, has an affair, takes opium, or breaks the rules, the shopkeepers will beat them to death, strip off their clothes and wrap them in grass.

Throw the mat here. If the girls died of illness due to receiving guests, they might be buried a little bit."

"How is this possible?"

Butterfly Ninja said with some indignation, "These girls are so pitiful. These shopkeepers don't treat them as human beings at all!"

"That was the original intention."

Genichiro shook his head and said: "The purpose of disposing of their bodies in the same way as stray cats and dogs is to prevent them from falling into the realm of animals after death and not turning into resentful spirits seeking revenge."

In Japanese folk belief, only the correct burial method can make the dead "Buddha". That is the way to treat people, but it is very expensive. Naturally, these black-hearted bosses are not willing to spend money on the dead girls.

While doing things that they know may cause evil spirits, they also hope that gods and Buddhas will help them suppress these evil spirits. This is what Japan is like today.

Speaking of resentful souls, Butterfly Ninja inevitably thinks of the headlessness mentioned in his sister's letter.

She used her annoyance to hide her pity for the dead in her heart, and snorted coldly: "I hope this place is demolished by the resentful spirits."

"Don't be so extreme."

Genichiro said, "Although this kind of place is not very good, it can at least allow them to survive."

You can still have enough to eat here, but if it had been the Warring States Period, the living conditions of those women would have been even more miserable.

The butterfly ninja did not comment on Genichiro's words. He folded his arms and said nothing. He looked at the Yoshihara entrance getting closer and closer. He felt like he was approaching a huge mouth of the abyss. His body became stiff and his movements became more and more resistant. His mood

It's not as relaxed as it was before I came here.

This was a strong discomfort that not even ghosts could bring to her. No wonder my sister once said that not only people hurt by ghosts are miserable in this world, but humans are even worse.

This time Genichiro was not riding in a car, so he did not enter through the main entrance.

After the two got off the rickshaw near the entrance, they had to go through a long winding corridor before entering the interior of Youguo.

Because this road is the passage for most people to enter Yoshihara, it is also called the "unfilial road", which is used to mock those men who like to hang out in romantic affairs.

To be honest, this is also the first time for Genichiro to take this path.

It was still afternoon, and it had not yet started to get lively in Yoshiwara. There were not many people passing by. Most of them were men who were already working there, such as laborers, coachmen, bodyguards, and the like. Occasionally, there were a few well-dressed people, maybe

Boss or accountant procurement type.

As the only woman on this road, Butterfly Ninja immediately became the center of their attention. However, the way they stared at Butterfly Ninja did not seem to see a beautiful woman, but rather like they saw a huge source of wealth.

To be honest, Butterfly Ninja's expression always looks serious and serious, but this does not affect her essence as a beautiful girl. If she could smile more, she would definitely be no worse than Butterfly Kanae.

In addition, her Kodachi was hidden in a cloth bag and looked weak and harmless. Naturally, someone wanted to "recruit talents."

After all, Yoshiwara's business is a business of discovering talents!

One of them saw Butterfly Ninja from a distance, and immediately walked up to him with a smile on his face, and asked in a gentle voice like a helpful temple novice: "Is this young lady encountering any difficulties?"

Most of the girls who can come to Yoshihara are unable to live outside, or their families owe money, and they want to help their families pay off their debts. However, although the reasons are all kinds of strange, they always encounter difficulties that cannot be solved.

And their profession is to take advantage of the situation.

Take advantage of the girls when they are at a low point in their lives to buy them at low prices, buy their ownership, or introduce them to work part-time to earn "agency fees."

Butterfly Ren didn't understand why he said that, and shook his head in confusion.

Even if she is in trouble, how can these ordinary people help?

Genichiro suppressed his smile and waited quietly for things to develop. After his intelligence increased, he seemed to be more interested in the things around him.

Seeing that the Butterfly Ninja was still covering up, the man directly revealed his intention.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. As long as you don't get sued, our Kyogoku House is willing to take you in. You are really lucky to have met me. I just don't know, Miss, do you plan to stay here permanently or do part-time work?

"

"What does Kyogokuya do?"

The Butterfly Ninja seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't seem to understand, "Why do I need you to take me in?"

Just as the man was about to continue talking, Genichiro explained: "Kyogokuya is one of the most high-end stores in Yoshiwara. It is located next to Yoshiwara Avenue. It used to have oirans."

Butterfly Ren was stunned for a moment, and then completely understood.

"It's so good! It's so good!"

When the man heard Genichiroui praising Kyogokuya like this, he immediately said excitedly: "This kid is your brother, I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age! Oh, our Kyogokuya, in the Edo period

Yoshihara is one of the best..."

"Pah——"

"ah--"

Before he could finish his words, a butterfly ninja slapped him into the wall of the corridor. His eyes turned white and he fainted. He probably wouldn't wake up for a day or two.

After living for almost fifteen years, he was actually treated as a young girl who came to sell his body. This was the first time for the Butterfly Ninja to encounter such an experience. Therefore, he was so angry that his face turned red and even his breathing became erratic.

With her strength, she can actually punch people into the wall, which shows how high her anger level is, to the point where she can do things that she couldn't even kill ghosts.

After tossing this kind person who wanted to guide her to get started, Butterfly Ninja looked at Genichiro with dangerous eyes: "You knew what this guy did from the beginning, and you still laughed at me!"

If it weren't for the fact that the sword couldn't be used here, the Butterfly Ninja would really want to chop Genichiro into eight pieces.

Although it is very likely that both sides will suffer losses.

"The Kyogoku House is right opposite my snack shop. After all, we are neighbors. Although I have never seen this uncle, I can't stop him."

Genichiro spread his hands in a pretentious manner, "Besides, if you are a girl coming to this place, you will definitely meet other stores that are interested in you later. I just want you to familiarize yourself with them in advance."

The thought of experiencing something like this later made Butterfly blush and turned away without saying a word.

She regretted it!

Sure enough, you shouldn't come to a place like this just on a whim!

Even a serious kid like Genichiro turned evil.

Obviously we had such a tacit understanding when we were killing ghosts together last night.

"Okay, okay! Just teasing you."

Genichiro hurriedly pulled her sleeve, not intending to tease her any more.

"Let's go, let's go, I haven't got what you want yet. Besides, someone will come to pick us up in a while. After all, you are our distinguished guest Ashina, I won't really embarrass you."

"real?"

Butterfly Ninja still didn't believe it.
