Chapter 556: SFDI - 556
Recalling it, it seems that there exists in every world some kind of entertainment venue that is widely welcomed by the masses. It can’t help but make one lament the power of lewdness.
And the Demon Slayer world is no exception. The earliest origin of this kind of pleasure place was a famous minister in a neighboring ancient civilization.
He found a business opportunity in some indescribable instinct of life, and revitalized the commerce of his country through this special industry.
But with the improvement of moral concepts, although this industry had always existed in the following thousands of years, no dynasty was willing to lose face and spend too much effort on it.
But it couldn’t stop the neighboring little brother from learning everything, and when they learned, they learned the authentic taste.
From the shogunate era, the island country officially managed the sex industry. In addition to privately operated prostitutes, all sex places had to be concentrated in designated areas.
And this area was the Yukaku, commonly known as the pleasure quarter.
In the Yukaku, sensual pleasures and extravagance were the only themes, but beneath this paradise of pleasure hid endless filth and tears of blood.
And now Drake and Tanjiro were standing at the entrance of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter.
After learning what this place was, Tanjiro’s face was flushed, and he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet when he saw the prostitutes trying to pull him into a store.
This child was too innocent, how could he bear this kind of scene.
Drake smiled, but when he saw the soliciting prostitutes coming towards him, he quickly pulled Tanjiro and ran away.
Just kidding, how could he betray Stella’s trust? He didn’t come here to fall into depravity.
Before setting off, Stella had given him the rewards for remaining chaste in advance! Speaking of which, a girl’s lips actually made Drake, who could eat flames, feel a burst of heat!
So even though he was in the pleasure quarter, Drake was completely free of impure thoughts!
In order to train Tanjiro, Drake decided to find an Upper Rank demon to use as a whetstone. And the Upper Rank demon with a confirmed location was naturally the Upper Rank Six – Daki and Gyutaro, siblings, in the pleasure quarter.
A place like the pleasure quarter was really not suitable for girls, so the group split into two groups. Drake and Tanjiro came to the pleasure quarter.
And Stella took Nezuko to Kyoto to find another demon who had broken free from Muzan’s control – Tamayo.
If he wanted to lure out Muzan, that cowardly guy who didn’t know where he was hiding, Drake felt that he still had to rely on Nezuko.
And Nezuko, like in the original plot, rarely had moments of clarity, and was always in a sleeping state.
Although Drake could sense that Nezuko’s body was constantly changing, he couldn’t help much because he didn’t know enough about demon blood.
So Drake decided that professional problems should be left to professionals, and so there was the plan for Stella to take Nezuko to find Tamayo.
And this time, Stella was also carrying a lot of potions, hoping to see if any of them could be beneficial to Nezuko.
He couldn’t guarantee that there wouldn’t be any adverse effects if he directly let Nezuko drink them, so he should let Tamayo verify them with experiments!
And Drake and Tanjiro came to the Yoshiwara pleasure quarter, guided by the kasugai crow.
It had to be said that the profession of a prostitute, who rarely went out and mainly worked at night, was very suitable for demons to hide.
And the frequent escape and suicide attempts of prostitutes provided even more cover for the demons’ activities.
Drake stomped his foot on the ground, and didn’t feel any space underground.
Before officially starting the battle with Upper Rank Six, there was still one thing to deal with.
Daki had captured many people and hid them in a space somewhere underground in the pleasure quarter, using it as her food storage.
If she encountered danger during the battle, Daki would definitely eat those poor prostitutes to replenish her consumption. Therefore, he had to rescue those people before the battle!
So even though Drake knew where Daki was, he still strolled around the streets of the pleasure quarter.
When he walked to the back of a two-story wooden building, Drake stopped. Because he sensed a faint life force underground.
"This is the place!" Drake breathed a sigh of relief.
Tanjiro looked around and said, "But there’s no scent of an entrance here. How are we going to go down and rescue people?"
Drake thought about it. He couldn’t do the method that Inosuke used in the original plot, going in along the tunnel. In the end, he still had to use a more violent method like Tengen Uzui.
However, he still said, "It’s not difficult to go down, but now is not the time. Let’s act according to the previous plan!"
.....
The Yoshiwara pleasure quarter had three stores that were the largest in scale and popularity, and almost every year’s Oiran came from these three stores.
The House of Bliss was one of them, but the proprietress who ran the House of Bliss had been troubled lately.
She straightened the kimono on her body and knocked on the door in front of her, saying, "Warabihime, are you there?"
Warabihime was an Oiran in the House of Bliss, but even though she was making a living under the proprietress, the proprietress’s tone was even more humble.
"What is it?"
The owner of the lazy voice also lacked the corresponding respect for the proprietress, and had no intention of getting up to open the door at all.
The proprietress’s throat moved, and she said, "A guest wants to invite you to drink at the House of Azure Fields tonight. I heard that he’s a big merchant who deals in precious medicinal materials, and he’s very generous. So I came to ask you if you’re interested?"
There was silence in the room for a while, and then the sound of footsteps rang out, and the door was pulled open.
Warabihime’s height wasn’t very tall, but when she looked at the proprietress, it was as if she was looking down from above.
"Oh, a merchant who deals in precious medicinal materials?"
Looking at the large bag of money that the proprietress had placed in front of her, Warabihime showed an interested look.
In the current island country, they still used gold-based physical currency. One of these gold coins could buy a bag of rice or equivalent living supplies, and there were as many as five or six thousand coins in the bag, enough for an average family to live a wealthy life for a long time.
However, Warabihime was of course not interested in this money. She was interested in the identity of the person who had invited her.
’A medicinal material merchant! Maybe he’ll have news about the Blue Spider Lily that that person cares about most. If that’s the case, that person will definitely reward me!’
That’s right, the Oiran Warabihime was the alias of the Upper Rank Six demon Daki. Daki changed her appearance and identity every ten years, and had been hiding in the pleasure quarter.
The pleasure quarter gathered people from all over the world, and most of these people were rich and powerful. Daki’s task was to use her identity as an Oiran to obtain information that Muzan Kibutsuji cared about most.
Originally, Daki’s personality made her unwilling to do things like accompanying people to drink. But the other party’s identity made her somewhat willing to waste some time.
However, if she disappointed him, it would be understandable if she was eaten!
Looking at the increasingly strange smile on Daki’s face, the proprietress couldn’t help but lower her head, her body trembling slightly.
The proprietress could be said to have seen countless people, and no matter how she looked at it, those two people today didn’t look like merchants. And when they specifically named Warabihime, they didn’t look like they were infatuated with her beauty at all.
But the proprietress didn’t say anything, because she was the one who wanted to see Warabihime disappear the most!
As night fell, Warabihime was carried in a palanquin to a sake house.
Daki, who was planning how to inquire about the Blue Spider Lily, didn’t notice that it was getting quieter and quieter around her. By the time the palanquin was put down, she realized that there was no one in the originally lively sake house.
Boom!
A loud noise came from afar, and then Daki discovered that someone had broken into her food storage, releasing all the people trapped there.
"Damn it, is it the Demon Slayer Corps!"
The belt with gorgeous patterns tore the palanquin directly, allowing Daki to see the young man in front of her who had drawn his black Nichirin Blade.
