I'm raising a fox fairy wife in Tokyo

The "compensated dating girl Ling" who should have been standing inside has all disappeared. Did they all go hunting down gangsters?

Why?

Are you going to drag a corpse up the elevator?

and……

Did we go to the first floor?

Standing in front of the elevator, Gao Chuanlong and the two girls soon saw several more "escort girls" dragging the corpses of men in black suits—some intact, some torn to pieces.

Silently.

Enter the elevator.

Where are they taking the corpses?

“It’s the altar!”

Kaguya Shinomiya immediately seemed to realize something and hurriedly said...

"These gangs are sacrifices!!"

if it is like this……

When the next "compensated dating girl Ling" entered the elevator carrying the heads of several gangsters,

Takagawa Takayuki, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Hayasaka Ai also went inside.

Sure enough, I saw him pressing some kind of password on the elevator floor buttons.

Finally, after a long time, it stopped at the so-called "-3" floor.

The elevator door slowly opened.

There wasn't any horrific scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but that's precisely what made it all the more eerie.

The circular room in front of us is very, very small.

It was probably only a dozen or twenty square meters in size, with a crystal chandelier emitting an eerie, deep red light hanging from the three- or four-meter-high dome.

The ground was covered in bloodstains left by dragging.

It seemed to form a bloody path, leading to a door at the end.

The door looked quite ordinary.

just.

Before the door stood a beautiful cat-eared girl dressed in a gorgeous kimono, with waist-length silver-gray hair, holding a flute and a parasol, smiling as she looked at him.

[You're a step too late, big brother.]

Princess Kaguya needs to find the secret treasure first! Big brother is going to lose this game!

……

P.S.: This is the eighth update. I'll finish writing the remaining two chapters tonight and post them. It was too hot this afternoon, and I really didn't want to move...

Chapter 72 This is... a sudden large-scale dungeon?!

The girl, who called herself Princess Kaguya, smiled and walked through the door.

Then he simply vanished from everyone's sight, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but a dream.

"..."

Who is this guy!

What, "Princess Kaguya"? That's the same name as myself!

Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but remark on it.

And why does he call Takagawa "Big Brother"? That's so cheesy and shameless!!

the other side.

Takagawa Ryuu felt like he'd heard that voice somewhere before—ah, right, he remembered, back when he was with Shijo Maki at Shuchiin Academy.

When I first saw the doll in the red wedding dress, it was as if I heard someone call my name.

So the cat-eared girl from earlier was also a doll?

Is it one of the origins of the "Death Mark"? But if I remember correctly, the "Death Mark" came from Europe. The doll I saw before was also wearing a red Western wedding dress.

But the Kaguya-hime just now, apart from her cat ears, was quite "Japanese-style" from head to toe, even her name.

What does it mean?

Has it been completely and thoroughly localized?!

And her so-called "game"...

Gao Chuanlong shook his head; now was not the time to think about that.

At that moment, Ling, the "compensated dating girl" who had just stepped out of the elevator, was carrying the gangster's head and walking into that door.

Not only that.

One after another, JK girls emerged from the other elevators, carrying or dragging the gangsters' corpses, almost mechanically walking towards the doors and lining up to enter.

It gives the impression that the corpses of gangsters are being used as offerings to some kind of sacrifice.

what.

What lies behind that door?

An altar?

Gao Chuanlong led the two girls straight to the old wooden door and went inside.

Then, what appeared before the three of them was...

……

The endless expanse of stars unfolded before my eyes, and amidst the dim clouds, a huge, bright moon hung there, coldly emitting a faint, serene light.

Before me lay a massive city.

Faintly, one can see houses rising and falling, stretching into the darkness to the horizon.

But they were all swallowed by darkness, and not a glimmer of light could be seen.

Only what's in front of us.

Under the starlight and moonlight, the long street, entirely in a classical style, was bustling with activity, and the brightly colored lanterns seemed to illuminate most of the night.

People come and go along the long street, with samurai carrying swords at their waists and women dressed in beautiful kimonos.

The sounds of men and women joking and laughing mingled with the distant sounds of triads.

ha?

It's like I've suddenly been transported into some period drama. What's going on? Could it be a second time travel? Or maybe...?

……

"Yoshiwara?!"

After entering the inner part of the street, Takagawa Takayuki, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Hayasaka Ai quickly discovered that the place where the three of them were was actually "Yoshiwara Yukaku"!

It's similar to Okubo Park... no, it should be Kabukicho.

almost.

It is Kabukicho during the Edo period.

"Asakusa was indeed the former site of Yoshiwara."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who has a good history, said this.

Yoshiwara was originally located near Nihonbashi during the Edo period, but it was later moved to Asakusa after a major fire.

"And we are now underground in Asakusa."

"Um……"

The current situation is quite clear.

Beneath the Love Hotel lies a spirit from the Edo period, hundreds of years ago, associated with Yoshiwara, and rated "S~".

Is it Oiran Tayu?

It's also a frequent subject of horror legends and various stories.

But if that's the case, what does it have to do with that religious order and priests?

Where have all those "compensated dating girls" gone? I can't see them at all.

and……

"Hey, Gao Chuan, there are so many people in here, who are they...?"

Hallucination?

"No, they are all [spirits]."

It wasn't the kind of thing Kaguya Shinomiya had experienced before; the men and women coming and going on the long street before her were all [spirits].

"what?!"

"It's probably some powerful being who, over the course of several hundred years, has controlled all the spirits that appear in the vicinity."

It's like playing house.

"There might be more than one guy."

In fact.

Upon entering Yoshiwara, Takagawa Ryu clearly sensed several powerful auras—some strong, some weak, ranging from A to S.

"No wonder there are so many 'escort girls' in the hotel. It's probably because of the influence here. Maybe... or there might be other reasons."

after all.

Even in the records of the Takagawa family.

It's quite rare to see an area formed by the gathering of multiple powerful spirits like this.

The situation is very complicated. Is it a large-scale instance?

"Let's continue exploring and gathering intelligence as we go."

Takagawa Takayuki and the two girls made a decision, and then began to take action...

……

Outside a meatball shop on the street.

A young man holding a samurai sword sat lazily on a bench, eating an old-fashioned soy sauce dumpling.

"Ah, it's actually quite delicious."

After quickly finishing a skewer, Takagawa Ryu looked at Shinomiya Kaguya beside him and said comfortingly.

"Eat it, it won't turn into bugs or anything. Although it's all fake, the taste is real."

"Eh?"

It's like eating air or something.

Well!

The taste is indeed quite good.

At the same time, Hayasaka Ai also walked back from the tavern across the street and nodded to the boy.

"Many people have mentioned the legend of the treasure."

[Secret Treasure]

Since the investigation began here, Takagawa Takayuki and the girls have been hearing the [spirits] mention these words repeatedly.

Princess Kaguya just said the same thing, that she would go find the treasure first, and whoever finds it first will be the winner of the "game".

"Many people say that Tayu's treasure is somewhere in Yoshiwara, but the problem is..."
