"Oh my, what beauty.." The distinct smile never left the female's lips as she continued her parade in the middle of the road at the Red Light District.

Whispers can be heard from all around the corner, ranging from praises to envies. The female with [eye color] eyes and deep black colored hair styled in datehyōgo, a hair only Oirans are permitted to wear, kept intact with the large chignons and lasvishly decorated ornaments in her hair could only sigh in her mind and endure the tiredness until the parade ends.

She was no ordinary female and definitely not an ordinary yūjo. She was the Oiran of house Tokito, she was one of the highest ranking yūjo.

Her elevated status made it difficult for any client to request an audience with her easily for only regular clients and those who are willing to pay such a large amount of money can meet with her for a limited amount of time.

And right now, she's in her way with her procession to a new client.

Unknowingly, on the other side of her parade, a male with long white hair that's tied in a high ponytail kept by a red ribbon and pale purple eyes wearing a formal deep blue montsuki paired up with white hakama pants and a lighter shade of blue plain haori was looking at her, mesmerized.

"That's [Name]-sama from Tokito House, right?" The whispers never stopped and it gave the male an idea before running towards the location of House Tokito, smiling.

As the male was seen running with all his might, a single crimson colored flower has caught his attention in the middle of the bustling town of the District.

Shaking his head, he stopped in the middle of his tracks, plucking the flower and placing it inside of his haori before continuing his run once more.

The male panted as he arrived at the entrance of the house where [Name] resides before going to where the chaperone of the house is and speaking, "I am to request an audience with the Oiran of the house, [Name]-sama."

The female chaperone smiled, "Only regular customers are to request an audience with Oiran [Name]-"

"How much?"

"Even if you are able to provide, you cannot-"

"That is not what I asked for. How much is it to request an audience with her if I am one of the regulars?"

The female chaperone sighed in response before the lady of the house stepped in, "If you were one of the regulars, Oiran [Name]-sama will cost four ryō and three bu- however since you are not one of the regulars, I cannot let you request an audience with the Oiran."

The male clicked his tongue, "Twelve ryō- no, make that fourteen ryō for an audience with her now."

The lady and the chaperone gasped at the male's claim, "Was it still low? I'll make it twenty or thirty, just hurry it up already."

The lady turned to look at the chaperone, "Prepare our most decent room, hurry!" She looked at the now smiling male in front of her before bowing, "Of course! I'll be back with our lady!"

"Serve our dear gentleman here right now!"

The lady looked at the male, "May I please get your name?"

The male in question smiled wider, "Shinawa Akio."

"Now, get my lady already."
