Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

When Mina Utsunomiya gave her the task, she thought it would be a piece of cake.

Unexpectedly, she was completely unresponsive, which left her feeling frustrated.

This has been the first time in many years.

Where is Mina Utsunomiya?

Haruhiko noticed that the car was not heading towards Saitama Prefecture, and he raised an eyebrow.

"Young Master, how can you address the head of the family by his full name?"

Momoka Utsunomiya was suddenly startled, and her originally rosy face turned pale.

In her mind, Mina Utsunomiya held absolute authority.

Or perhaps, she was terrified.

"Why not?"

Haruhiko said without changing his expression, "She is your family head, not mine."

Momoka Utsunomiya was immediately startled.

Mina Utsunomiya did not tell her the real details.

It was just that she was told to handle Haruhiko and treat him like a young master.

But this attitude...?

Utsunomiya Momoka secretly wondered if Haruhiko is Utsunomiya Mina's illegitimate son?

She quickly shook her head, dispelling such audacious thoughts.

Whatever the truth may be, it shouldn't be something she should know.

In the Utsunomiya clan, she deeply understood one principle: the more disobedient one is, the faster one dies.

"The head of the family is currently in Shinjuku."

Momoka Utsunomiya took a light breath and answered honestly.

"Shinjuku?"

Haruhiko was a little surprised.

Shinjuku is one of the twenty-three wards of Tokyo.

Very famous.

It can be considered one of the core cities of Tokyo.

Its business district is exceptionally prosperous.

However, Shinjuku is quite far from Saitama Prefecture, where the Utsunomiya family is located.

Do you know Kabukicho?

Utsunomiya Momoka asked rhetorically.

Haruhiko nodded.

Kabukicho in Shinjuku is one of Tokyo's entertainment centers.

It boasts a variety of entertainment facilities, such as cinemas, dance halls, bars, and more.

From morning till night, the place is bustling with people; it's a place for hedonistic indulgence.

In addition, it boasts the largest... modern brothel in Japan.

"Most of the Utsunomiya family's businesses are located in Kabukicho."

Momoka Utsunomiya chuckled, her tone seductive, and said, "As long as you're willing, young master, all your expenses there will be waived."

"..."

Haruhiko didn't know what to say.

Given Mina Utsunomiya's personality, Kabukicho was indeed a good option.

After all, many people can't resist the charms of beautiful women.

Haruhiko suddenly realized something and his gaze fell on Momoka Utsunomiya.

So her profession must be...?

Good guy!

Thank goodness I didn't agree earlier.

Otherwise, they would become victims of bike-sharing.

Momoka Utsunomiya noticed his gaze, paused for a moment, and then roughly guessed what he was thinking.

"I am a respectable woman."

She wasn't angry, and explained softly, "I am a member of the Utsunomiya clan, and it's impossible for me to do such a thing."

"..."

Haruhiko immediately understood upon hearing this.

He did misunderstand just now.

Momoka Utsunomiya, given her surname is Utsunomiya and the fact that Mina Utsunomiya sent her to find me, must be of a high status.

In addition, Haruhiko could vaguely sense the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from her.

It's even better than my own strength.

In addition to her special physique, such a woman must be of great use and would not be so casual.

However, she mentioned having a daughter before, so she must already be married.

Haruhiko didn't have many thoughts about it.

After all, he couldn't even handle his wife at home.

Moreover, humans are ultimately far inferior to monsters.

Haruhiko didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Momoka Utsunomiya decided not to continue the conversation.

In the quiet atmosphere, the black sedan entered Shinjuku Ward.

Various noises came from all directions.

Through the car window, Haruhiko could see young women dressed in colorful clothes waiting for the warmth of money in the autumn wind.

What a pity, oh no, what a shame.

A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building.

Momoka Utsunomiya got out of the car, ran a few steps to the other side, and opened the car door.

"Master, please."

"Thank you."

Haruhiko wasn't used to this kind of treatment.

But then he remembered how Momoka Utsunomiya had knelt before him before, so he didn't bother refusing to avoid trouble.

"Sister Taoxiang."

People kept greeting Momoka Utsunomiya along the way.

Seeing this, Haruhiko confirmed his guess.

Her status is indeed quite high.

The two took the elevator to the seventh floor.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Haruhiko noticed a rather different atmosphere.

Red lanterns hung on both sides, creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, and one could vaguely hear singing.

The hallway looked quite long, with probably a dozen or so rooms.

It is not a modern security door, but a sliding door, or shoji door.

Haruhiko took two steps forward.

Momoka Utsunomiya suddenly clapped her hands.

All the doors opened.

Standing at the door was a courtesan dressed in an off-the-shoulder kimono.

She was dressed quite glamorously, yet still exuded charm.

Each and every one of them is a stunning beauty.

They all knelt down and shouted, "Welcome, young master!"

"...?"

Haruhiko's lips twitched.
