A/N: Let me explain this okay?
The Strategist who gave Kimmon's Invitation, is a friend of Phana's Uncle which is actually the host of the gallery. He lied to his nephew telling that he's not coming so Pha will come and help him. In short.. Mr. Kreepolrerk now is in Phana's House. ⊙﹏⊙

Tae's POV:

" So, what you're saying is, that guy in the painting was a former Oiran? A prostitute?"

"A high ranking prostitute. But no. Im just saying that there's a possibility. Besides, back then.. an Oiran can be a Woman or a Man. Actually Man prostitution back then boom between 15th to 16th century, maybe because of the war. The damios or their shogun can enjoy themselves without worrying about a prostitute getting pregnant. War means Death and that includes, Sickness, Malnutrition, homeless cases.. in short. Poverty. A failed soldier would rather choose to kill his wife and children rather than leaving them behind and become hostages.. or worse. Sex slave."

Those words.. are kinda heavy, don't you think? I .. i can't imagine that someone as beautiful as him will choose that kind of life. But if he wants to survive, his beauty is more than enough..

"I dont think so.." huh? Oh i forgot that kim is here.
"I mean, look at his eyes. seems like, Those eyes are screaming.. "back off Bitches and Jerks, you cant have Me!" Haha!"

"Hahaha indeed, Mr.Kim. To be honest, He's really a mystery to us. You see, this house was actually renovated 3 years ago. It may look the same but actually we change almost all the interior of this house.. but one day, when they were about to pull off the Tatami Mats in my daughter's room, There's an old box under it and It was sealed perfectly. An artifact. we found his painting in there."

Wait.. "so, it means that.."

"Yes, there's a possibility that the Man himself did lived in here back then. Or.. perhaps, a person very close to him hid those items there. Actually, i tried to check the record of our family if there's a guy named Yuki, but most of them are women, And Yuki as Yukina.."

"But then.. "

" until, this woman claimed that she's a descendant... and she asked to surrender the painting to her. Since we can't find a proof that he's really part of the family, we don't have a choice but to give it to her."

"Wait, so does she have it? I mean, a proof or something.. And how did she find out about it then?" You got a point there kimmon. How come they just surrender it like that.

"Yes. She does." For Real?!!! "And, im sorry but I can't tell you the details." Argh!! Oh wait, Hang on.

"Wait. Mr.Satou-San, You're planning to build a Starbucks in Kyoto, right?"
