Sliding open the shoji screens, a man dressed within an expensive montsuki dragged along his new prized possession by the lead, soon tossing it into the room. Grabbing the little girl by the neck, the man had her face the many women that surrounded the room. Observing the women before her, the young girl was gaping at their elaborate kimonos made of the finest silks whilst they held their kiseru.
Tossing the young girl onto the tatami mats below, the man who brought the girl addressed the ladies all looking at him in shock. "Dress her, teach her, and make sure she behaves. She'll bring in a lot of customers so be prepared."
"Yes, boss!" The women yelled in unison, frightening the poor girl as she covered her droopy ears to assuage the loud noise.
With that, the man had finally taken his leave, abandoning the child within the hands of the many women. Suddenly, all ladies rushed to the girl, pushing and shoving so they could observe the new addition to the Yukaku.
"Aw, she's a little bunny! So cute!" One maiden spoke, the rest soon joining in.
"What a darling, the customers will love her!"
"Maybe she will attract the Raiden Shogun's interest, what do you think?"
"Quiet!" Amongst the sea of women came another, alas she was the most unique. Adorned in a large kimono with the most decorative patterns, the woman looked down upon the small girl, her hairstyle so grand and elegant as it framed her perfectly shaped face that graced the make-up only an artist could achieve. As the many women made way for the Tayū, she stared at the terrified girl who lay upon the mats, bending down to brush her soft locks. Giving the young girl a hand, the Tayū pulled her up so she now stood on both feet.
"Come, I shall dress and bathe you, my dear." The Tayū declared, leading the young girl out of the room and through a narrow hallway. "What is your name? Mine is Mizuki, Mizuki Otsuko." She asked, to which the small girl beside her gazed at her in surprise.
"(Y-Y/N)."

"Here we are, m'lady, your new home."
Observing the house before both you and Kaeya, you were uncertain as to whether the house had been inhabited for the last few years as it was in such disarray. Although, it was better than nothing at all.
"With some handiwork, I'm sure it shall appear brand new..?" You asked uncertainly, brushing off the thought of cleaning the whole cottage with a nervous laugh. Kaeya chuckled, placing a strong hand upon your shoulder, patting it as if to comfort you for your further endeavours.
