The Yoshiwara Entertainment District.

The night district where the lust and charms of men and women swirl in a storm of love and hate.

The entertainment district is also called the flower district because, as the name implies, this part of the city is shaped like a flower.

The prostitutes living here were either living in poverty or sold off due to loans.

They bear a lot of hardships.

But in exchange, they are guaranteed the necessities of life.

If they can make their way up as a courtesan*, they could potentially become part of a wealthy household by getting bought out.

*(Courtesan, in modern usage, is an euphemism for a kept mistress or prostitute, particularly one with wealthy, powerful, or influential clients)

The most prominent among them, the *Oiran are completely different altogether. They are special women who have acquired everything: beauty, education, and performance.

*(Oiran (花魁) is a collective term for the highest-ranking courtesans in Japanese history, who were considered to be above common prostitutes)

You simply can't meet a high-ranking Oiran to gain an audience with them. Men have to frequently visit the entertainment district as if they were competing with each other.

Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke were all trying to be sold off as a girl to different households by Tengen. He tried his best to put make-up on them and to make them look like a girl but, it wasn't very good...

The head woman of one of the households was being negotiated with by Tengen to take one of the trio.

"Oh dear me....these are some ugly girls..."

Zenitsu was renamed as Zenko, Tanjiro as Sumiko, and Inosuke as Inoko.

"Sorry, we can't accept them. We just brought in a new girl a few days ago, so I'm sorry..." The husband tried turning down all three of them.

But the wife had a tiny blush on her face and caved in with the proposal.

"Well, one should be okay."

It was no wonder why the wife was blushing. Tengen had his hair down and covered up his birthmark around his eye with concealer and was also looking very handsome.

"Then I will entrust one to you, ma'am. Thank you."
