Edo, a certain tea house, a certain private room.
"Two distinguished guests, this is your tea."
Qingteng often visited this tea house.
There is no special reason why he became a regular customer of this shop. It is just that it is close to the Imperial Guard Hall, so Aoto occasionally visits the shop when he gets off work or returns from Chishiya, Kochiba Kenkan and other places. I would go to this tea house and have a few drinks in a moment of excitement.
"Thanks."
The person who served Aoto Okinawa the tea—a young man who must have been around 15 years old—nods politely.
While the boy quickly placed the two cups of hot tea on the tea tray on the table in front of Qingteng, he used careful and careful movements to secretly look at the beautiful woman sitting opposite Qingteng... that is, Otsuki Minoru's face and figure.
His larynx, which had grown slightly due to his recent puberty, moved up and down slightly.
The childish eyes exude fascination and longing.
Although these actions of the young man are very subtle, for Qingdeng who has "Eagle Eyes +1" and has amazing eyesight, the young man's sight and demeanor are all invisible in Qingdeng's eyes. shape.
Looking at the young hand who was peeking at Otsuki Minoru crazily, Ayoto couldn't help but laugh.
It’s no wonder that this inexperienced young man was so embarrassed in front of Otsuki Minoru.
After all, according to the three views of the Edo period, Otsuki Minoru was definitely a beautiful woman.
She has beautiful facial features, beautiful appearance, fair skin with a healthy reddish color, and glossy black hair.
The mature makeup makes her face as bright as peach blossoms, her brows and eyes exude a mature and charming demeanor, and her every move shows a dignified demeanor.
The upper body outlined by the dark brown kimono is uneven, and the upper part of the kimono is stretched outward; the waist covered by a black belt is as smooth as a willow.
The most important thing is that the back of Otsuki Minoru's neck is very beautiful, with well-proportioned and graceful lines. The untanned neck flesh exudes a transparent texture under the light.
A kimono is a kind of clothing that can wrap a person extremely tightly. Even the coolest yukata only exposes half of the lower leg than an ordinary kimono.
There is a saying: when a woman wears very little, men will always focus on the areas covered by the fabric; when a woman wears a lot of clothes, men will always focus on the areas not covered by the fabric.
Therefore, no matter what type of kimono it is, the back of the neck is always exposed outside the fabric, and it has become a key part of people's attention.
Over time, the nape of the neck became the favorite sexual fetish of young and old men in the Edo period.
One of the criteria that many people consider when choosing a spouse or daughter-in-law is whether the woman's back of the neck looks good or not.
The reason why the wandering girls in Yoshiwara and Okama, as well as the geishas who play and sing, always pull their collars back greatly, exposing the entire back of their necks and even less than half of their backs, is to better attract men.
The last time we met... it was a hasty reunion at the fireworks display 4 months ago. Because the meeting time was short, it was night, the light was dim, and Aomori had no interest in Otsuki Minoru, so the last time we met was At that time, Qingden didn't pay much attention to Otsuki Minoru's appearance.
Now that I have some free time, I can calmly and carefully observe Otsuki Minoru from head to toe. Even Seito, who has a strong prejudice against Otsuki Minoru, can't help but admit: Otsuki Minoru is indeed a beautiful person in appearance. A very attractive girl.
No wonder "Original Orange Qingden" would love this woman to death.
The young mobile phone obviously still has a lot of work to do. Moreover, he has been secretly looking at the face and figure of the woman who is obviously from a good background. If someone discovers it, it may cause disaster. Therefore, the young mobile phone does not dare to stay in the private room for a long time and puts it away. After drinking tea, he bowed lightly to Qingden and Otsuki, and left quickly with the tea tray in his arms, not forgetting to close the door tightly when leaving.
The tea cup is boiling until it is steaming hot. It is an excellent hand warmer in this season.
Qingden held the tea cup tightly with both hands, and while using the strong warmth attached to the cup to warm his frozen palms, he raised the cup and took a sip.
"So, Miss Otsuki, why did you suddenly come to see me?"
After swirling the sip of tea in his mouth and swallowing it, Qingdeng wrapped his polite words with euphemisms and sent cold questions to the woman in front of him who had a complicated relationship with him that was constantly being resolved and messed up.
Get straight to the point without any small talk.
Qingden deliberately used the unfamiliar title of "Miss Otsuki".
About 20 minutes ago, Qingto was walking on the way out of the Trial Guard Hall, preparing to go to Chishiya. While he was lazily spending today's vacation strengthening his relationship with Kinoshita Mai and practicing the sword-drawing technique, he suddenly met someone he hadn't seen for a long time. See Otsuki Shi.
No...it might not be accurate to say it was a "chance encounter". Because Otsutsuki clearly came prepared.
That area is the only way Qingdeng must pass when leaving the Trial Guard Hall.
Whether he was going to work at the government office where the thieves had been reformed, or looking for Kinoshita Mai and other girls, Qingto had to pass through that area.
As soon as Aoto appeared, Otsuki Minoru hurriedly walked out of the nearby alley and walked quickly towards Aoto.
It was obvious - Otsuki had done reconnaissance in advance and figured out where Qingden always appeared, so he set up an "ambush" in advance.
After 4 months, this woman who played an important role in the memory of "Original Orange Qingden" appeared in front of him again. Qingden was really surprised.
He always thought that he would never have the chance to meet Otsuki Minoru again after seeing each other at the fireworks display this summer.
He had no plans to reconnect with Otsuki Minoru, so after seeing Otsuki Minoru's face again, Qingden's mood was calm, and there was no ripple in his heart.
Before Aoto asked Otsuki "Why are you here?", Otsuki took the lead and bowed towards Aoto with a sad face. His upper body and lower body were at a standard 90 degrees, and the whole back of his neck was exposed to Aoto. In front of his eyes, he could vaguely see the deep bow of his smooth and delicate back through the gaps in his clothes.
"Tangerine-kun, please help me!"
The first words he spoke made Monk Qingden Zhanger confused.
Although it was still early and there were not many pedestrians on the street, there were still a few bearers and merchants walking back and forth on the street who had been up early and stayed late.
A well-dressed beauty with a beautiful face begged a samurai master for help in broad daylight and in full view of everyone... This kind of excitement is something you have to see!
As a result, no less than four people stopped to watch in the blink of an eye, and the number of people continued to increase.
To be honest, Qingto was confused by what Otsuki Minoru said. For a moment, he wanted to just leave Otsuki Minori on the spot.
If it is "Original Tachibana Aoden", then he may still be nostalgic for this former goddess.
But Qingto has no feelings for Otsuki Minoru at all.
Seeing her asking him for help without any foreshadowing, Qingdeng felt nothing but frowning because he was deeply confused.
But maybe it was out of curiosity, wondering what Otsuki Minoru meant by "help me". Seeing Otsuki Minoru's sincere look on the ground, Qingto did not ignore Otsuki Minoru after all.
Anyway, I’m very free today and have a lot of time, so let’s listen to what she wants to say.
The middle of the street, with so many people coming and going, is not a good place to talk, so Qingteng took Otsuki Mi to this tea house and opened a private room where outsiders would not disturb him.
Qingdeng is straight to the point, and Otsuki Shi is not ambiguous either.
She didn't even bother to drink the hot tea on the table, so she bent down and said sadly in a pleading tone:
"Tachibana-kun, please save my husband! He, he was captured by Yakuza of the 'Qingshui Clan'!"
Otsuki Minoru's husband—that is, the young and wealthy man named Otsuki Tsuneji.
Qingshui clan, take away... The effect produced by combining this noun with this verb made Qingden frown slightly unconsciously.
…
Otsuki Minoru, with slightly red eyes, choked with sobs, explained the ins and outs to Qingdeng.
Otsuki Minoru's eloquence was not very good, and she spoke awkwardly. Qingden concentrated and listened hard, and finally managed to understand what was going on——
Four months ago, in order to expand their business territory, Otsuki Minoru and her husband Otsuki Tsuneji came to Edo to discuss cooperation with the super local snakes that are difficult to avoid for anyone who wants to launch large-scale trade in Edo: the "Shimizu Clan" , trying to join forces with the "Shimizu Clan" to run a liquor business, selling water from the upper reaches of the Kinki land to Edo.
Then, Aoto accidentally met Otsuki Minoru and his friends who came to the right arm at the fireworks display, and later saved them from Gosaku Shimizu who suddenly went crazy.
When they first arrived in Edo, they encountered such terrifying things, and the person who gave them such a bad experience happened to be the person they wanted to do business with.
Although Gosaku Shimizu does not hold any real power in the "Shimizu Clan", to put it harshly, this person is just the dog kept by Eiichi Shimizu, the leader of the "Shimizu Clan". His sexual harassment of Otsuki Minoru and the beating of Otsuki Tsuneji and others were all his personal actions and had nothing to do with the entire "Shimizu Clan", but many people were still frightened by this unexpected disaster.
Many of Otsuki Tsuneji's friends have given up: Why don't we go back to Nara?
This is how disagreements arise.
Some people wanted to return to Nara, while others, led by Otsuki Tsuneji, insisted on staying in Edo.
Although Otsuki Tsuneji has a glorious status as a "rich generation" that is envied by countless people and seems to live a worry-free life, he also has his own troubles.
The glorious achievements of his ancestors and fathers overwhelmed him.
When others mention him Dayue Changci, they will only think of him as the grandson of XXX and the son of YYY.
The ambitious Otsuki Tsuneji didn't like this.
He is eager to make some achievements as soon as possible to prove his ability and get rid of the shadow of his ancestors and fathers.
The wine business with the Qingshui clan is a great opportunity to prove his ability in one fell swoop.
So even though he was the one who was beaten the hardest by Shimizu Gosaku, he still had the determination to never go back unless he achieved great results.
After several fierce arguments, Otsuki Tsuneji finally parted ways with those who wanted to go back.
Anyone who wants to go back can go back.
Otsuki Tsuneji led those who had the same ideas as him and continued to stay in Edo.
Otsuki Minoru was one of the frightened people.
Otsuki Minoru, who was frightened by what happened that night and lost two of her three souls and five of her seven souls, can be said to be the person who wants to return to Nara the most.
But Otsuki Tsuneji was determined to stay in Edo. As Otsuki Tsuneji's wife, Otsuki Minoru had no choice but to stay in Edo with Otsuki Tsuneji.
Liquor produced in the Gyeonggi area, known as "upper water", has always been in short supply in Edo.
Otsuki Tsuneji has a stable supply of high-quality and low-priced water from above, so when Otsuki Tsuneji came to the door with a "cooperation plan", the "Shimizu clan" showed a certain interest.
The "Shimizu Clan" sent a small leader named Sanada Junyuki to be solely responsible for contacting Otsuki Tsuneji and others.
The communication process between the two parties has been going smoothly, so smoothly that Otsuki Shimi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the deal should be settled.
As a result...just half a month ago, a new accident occurred.
Otsuki Tsuneji was suddenly taken away by people from the "Qingshui Clan".
Early one morning half a month ago, a large group of Yakuza from the "Shimizu Clan" fiercely broke into the hotel where Otsuki Minoru and others lived, and took Otsuki Tsuneji away without explanation.
Although Otsuki Minoru cried out and asked, "What's going on?" and "Why did you want to arrest the husband?", the Yakuza who came to arrest him completely ignored Otsuki Minori and only demanded rudely from Otsuki Minoru. Go away and mind your own business.
In the following days, Otsuki Minoru and Otsuki Tsuneji's friends ran around in order to save Otsuki Tsuneji.
In their hometown, that is, in Nara, they, a group of wealthy children, may still be considered prominent figures, but their methods have no effect at all in Edo, where dragons and tigers are hidden and the water is as deep as the sea.
The Yakuza Group at the level of the "Shimizu Clan" has always been the target of conflicts between the executive office and the "township residents' autonomous organization".
Qingto, who was once a member of the Northern Research Institute, knows this very well.
Unless there is a major case such as a murder case, in all cases related to the "Shimizu Clan", both the execution office and the "Township Citizens' Self-Government Organization" will use the word "procrastination" to delay the case until it ends without any problem.
Otsuki Minoru and others, who had no way to report to the official and had no way to seek help, had no other gains except finding out that Otsuki Tsuneji was abducted by a high-ranking cadre named Kitahara Konosuke.
Just when everyone was in despair, Otsuki Minoru suddenly recalled: There was such a person who showed up in time to save them when they were about to be beaten to death by Shimizu Gosaku; that person's energy was so great that even Shimizu Eiji had to kill him when he saw him. Use the highest honorifics and salute respectfully.
That person...maybe can save Otsuki Tsuneji!
The above are all the reasons why Otsuki Minoru suddenly came to Qingto.
"..."
Qingdeng put his right index finger on the dining table and tapped the surface up and down rhythmically.
The sound of "knock, knock, knock" added a strange and tense atmosphere to the private room that was surrounded by silence.
Otsuki Minoru, who made her intention clear, kept her waist low and waited anxiously for Qingteng's reply.
Qingdeng remained silent because she felt an inexplicable pressure.
Fortunately, the suffocating atmosphere of silence did not last long.
"...Miss Otsuki, do you know why your husband was kidnapped by someone sent by Kōnosuke Kitahara?"
An organization with strict rules and order like the "Qingshui Clan" rarely arrests people for no reason.
"I have no idea……"
Otsuki replied quickly without thinking.
"About this, I have asked the people of the 'Qingshui Clan' many times, but they just won't tell me why they took my husband away..."
Speaking of this, Otsuki seemed to be recalling some bitter past events. His emotions that had just calmed down rippled again, and his tone became choked again.
"..."
Qingdeng fell silent again.
He grabbed the cold tea and drank it in one gulp.
Then get ready to leave.
Otsuki Minoru's husband was kidnapped by the Yakuza of the "Shimizu Clan"... What does this have to do with him?
In fact, if the "help" that Otsutsuki mentioned was just a small favor for Qingdeng, then Qingdeng wouldn't mind being a smooth favor.
But it was obvious that rescuing Otsuki Tsuneji, who was not related to him, from the hands of the "Shimizu Clan", was beyond the scope of "a simple effort" in Qingto's eyes.
Is there any need to do something like this that has only risks but no rewards, and does little benefit to you?
Although Qingteng's buttocks were still sitting firmly on the tatami without moving, the woman's unique attentiveness still made Otsuki Minoru aware of Qingteng's intention at the first time.
Panic at a loss of what to do instantly dominated Otsuki Minoru's expression.
A look of determination of "give it your all" burst out from Otsuki Minoru's eyes.
"Tangerine-kun."
Otsuki Minoru took half a step to his right knee, moving to a place where his body would not be blocked by the table. He lowered his waist sharply, his smooth forehead pressed against the tatami, and the hands placed in front of his head only touched the ground with three fingers - exactly Japan’s highest level gift: Dogeza.
While kneeling on the ground, Otsuki Minoru pulled up the collar of the kimono with a subtle movement, exposing more of the back of her neck.
Looking from Qingdeng's perspective, he could see a large area of soft neck and back skin that was dazzlingly white.
"Tachibana-kun! Please! Help me! I have no one else to ask for help except you!"
After saying this, Otsuki Minoru buried her head as low as possible, as if she wished her forehead could blend with the ground.
At the same time, she arched her back slightly so that Qingden could see the back of her neck more clearly.
Otsuki Minoru still vividly remembers how fascinated the man in front of her was in the past.
I remember back then, Qingdeng loved the back of her neck the most.
He often peeked at the back of her neck without being discovered, and often praised the beauty of her neck in an affectionate tone to her face.
In fact, Otsuki Minoru has always been proud of having a graceful swan neck.
That's why when she bowed her head and got off the seat, she specially pulled back her collar, just to give him what he wanted - to seduce Qingdeng!
At this moment, a huge sense of shame surrounded Otsuki Minoru.
One day, he actually fell in love with Tachibana Aoki, whom he had always looked down upon, and used sex to seduce her.
If someone had said to Otsuki Minoru half a year ago, "One day you will have to beg Tachibana Aoden to lend a helping hand to him and betray him," then Otsuki Minoru would have definitely sneered and wondered if the other person was crazy.
As a result...this day has really arrived.
Although Otsuki Shimi was so ashamed of betraying her lust that she didn't even dare to raise her face, she couldn't care less about it at the moment.
Facing Qingto who intends to leave, Otsuki Minoru has no confidence or bargaining chips to retain him. Apart from using seduction techniques, she has no other method at the moment.
It’s important to try to rescue your husband quickly!
Otsuki Minoru is still very confident about her seduction skills...or her beauty.
Even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, it's impossible for Qingdeng to have any old feelings for her, right?
Counting from the time she married Nara, it has only been less than 2 years.
It's just been two years since they were separated, and you're no longer obsessed with her beauty? Otsuki Minoru doesn’t believe it!
Even if Tachibana Aoden cannot be impressed immediately, it can shake his mind to some extent - Otsuki Minoru thought optimistically and confidently.
However... the scene that happened next in front of her eyes caused the confident arc at the corner of Otsuki Minoru's mouth to freeze instantly.
Qingden glanced at Otsuki Minoru with an expressionless look.
Then, without even a moment's hesitation, Qingden slapped the empty teacup and tea money on the dining table.
"I've bought you a cup of tea. See you again in the future."
At the same time as he left these blunt and polite words, Qingteng grabbed the Dingguishin placed on the tatami on his right side, inserted the Dingguishin back into his left waist, stood up and left.
Qingteng saw through Otsuki Minoru's little thoughts at a glance.
Qingden couldn't help but feel secretly amused, and subconsciously showed a strange expression.
The white and tender back of the neck... For a modern person whose soul comes from the 21st century, this sexual fetish is really outdated.
Otsuki Minoru's operation was completely to show off to the blind man and play the suona and kazoo to the deaf man.
Qingden didn't hate the beautiful nape of his neck, but his real sexual fetish was not there.
After hearing what Qingden said and feeling the cool breeze brought by Qingden standing up, Otsuki Shiteng was shocked and his red lips were so open that his chin seemed to be about to drop to the ground.
"Tachibana-kun! Please, please wait!"
Otsuki Minoru stood in front of Qingden in three steps and two steps at a time, raising his arms horizontally like an eagle catching a chicken.
"Ju-kun, please! Help me just this once! I won't let your work go in vain! Just tell me what you want in return! Whatever can satisfy you, I will definitely..."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have anything I want or am short of right now."
Qingden calmly interrupted Otsuki Minoru's words with tactful words.
After saying that, Qingteng stood half a step aside, preparing to avoid Otsuki Minoru.
But Otsuki Minoru followed Qingteng closely, moving her delicate body sideways in the same direction and the same moving distance, and blocked Qingteng again.
"Miss Otsuki, please get out of the way."
Qingdeng gathered his remaining patience and sighed silently.
Maybe it was Qingto's attitude of being unscrupulous and not even using seduction techniques on him that made Otsuki Minoru couldn't help but feel unhappy. Otsuki Minoru could only hear Otsuki Minoru's tone of voice that sounded like he was playing with tempers. road:
"Unless you knock me unconscious, I won't get out of the way..."
She hasn't finished speaking yet——
call.
Two big hands grasped Otsuki Minoru's right shoulder and left arm with a slight sound of breaking wind...
Only if I knock you unconscious will you get out of the way?
Now that the other party asked so, all the burdens in Qingdeng's heart disappeared instantly.
Qingteng, who had no sympathy for Otsuki Minoru, used his grappling skills to subdue Otsuki Minoru to the ground the moment he grabbed Otsuki Minoru with his palm.
Of course - Qingto is not a demon after all, and it is impossible to really knock a girl unconscious, so Qingno uses a lot of strength. Otsuki Minoru should feel some pain in his back, but it will not be a serious problem. .
Otsuki Minoru, who was not prepared for Aoden's sneak attack, didn't realize what happened until the world in front of her was spinning.
In an instant, Otsuki Minoru's beautiful eyes widened. The area of the whites of the eyes increased by nearly 10% in one breath, and the two eyeballs seemed ready to fall out of their sockets at any time.
"it hurts……"
A low cry of pain escaped from Otsuki Minoru's lips and teeth.
Qingto just wanted to subdue Otsuki Minoru so that she could not hinder his departure.
Unexpectedly, Otsuki Minoru showed extraordinary resilience and persistence at this moment.
"Tachibana-kun...you...wouldn't have been like this before..."
When Otsuki Minoru said this, she reluctantly raised her head from Qingteng's control, pulled out a right arm, and gently covered Qingdeng's left palm that was grabbing her right shoulder with her jade-like right hand. There was a look of grievance and disbelief on his face.
It seems that she wants to play the emotional card with Qingdeng now.
Qingden completely ignored Otsuki Minoru's "reminiscing about the past".
"oh?"
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Otsuki Minoru's right arm that had escaped from his grappling technique with interest.
As a martial arts practitioner who loves unarmed combat, Qingto could tell at just one glance - Otsuki Minoru's skills were not simple.
Only people with very delicate bodies and extremely flexible limbs can perform such difficult movements.
Otsuki Minoru's body is very soft - faced with this discovery, Ayoto started counting down the 10-second countdown without even a moment's hesitation...
One party begs the other party to show kindness and save her from fire and water.
The other side is greedy for other people's physical talents.
The greatest distance in the world is probably this.
As soon as the 10-second countdown passed, Qingto immediately changed his actions and used another move to restrain Otsuki Minori.
Otsuki Minoru's right arm that had just freed itself was tightly controlled by Qingteng again.
This time, in order to ensure that Otsuki Minoru lost all his ability to resist, Qingden used a rather cruel trick.
Otsuki was pinned to the ground, and she couldn't move no matter how hard she struggled.
Based on Qingto's understanding of the system in his body, the system would probably regard the series of actions he and Otsuki Minoru just had as a "showdown."
The result... was just as expected.
The next moment Otsuki Minoru completely lost his ability to resist, the cold system sound flashed through Qingdeng's mind:
【Ding! Scan to talent]
[Successfully copied talent: "Snake Body"]
[Talent Introduction: Body flexibility is better than ordinary people]
——Hoho... I guessed it really well, Otsuki is really talented in this area!
After discovering that Otsuki Minoru's body was unusually soft, Qingto made a bold guess: Otsuki Minoru might have a talent related to flexibility in her body.
He really guessed it right.
Successfully picked up a very useful talent for nothing, and Qingden, who was in a happy mood, suddenly smiled.
Qingdeng's cheerful smile only appeared for a moment.
Because just a moment later, footsteps came from the direction of the corridor.
Familiar footsteps.
A way of walking that is calm and exudes elegance.
Qingden was used to the sound of footsteps.
There was no way Qingden could mishear the footsteps.
As soon as the footsteps appeared, they immediately moved to the door of Qingto and Otsuki Minoru's private room.
Wow!
There was a loud noise from the room that was being pulled apart forcefully.
Qingden reflexively glanced towards the door.
"ah……"
Qingdeng couldn't help but blurt out a sound.
At the door, Sanako looked at Ayoto and Otsuki Minoru who were "tangled" together on the tatami with an expression... that was difficult to describe in words.

When I was writing a chapter, my mind was filled with the astringent thoughts of "Miss Otsuki, you don't want anything to happen to your husband, right? So please." In just 10 minutes, I came up with an indescribable fanfic that started with 30,000 words.
It's a pity that you probably won't see these fans anymore.
(End of chapter)
