Chapter 181
Final Drink
During the same hour…
Toshizou Hijikata was enjoying himself in the pleasure district of Ashtaroth town.
The eastern style brothel was called Yoshiwara, and Toshizou was practically the person who built it. That being said, he did not put on airs or act like he owned it.
He only went as a customer. The women there were told to not give him any special treatment, but that order was difficult to obey.
Even in his past life, Toshizou had been very popular with the ladies. He had been working as a regulator in the town called Kyo, but had been so popular that important men and subordinates alike despised him.
When Toshizou showed his face at the brothel, the women would leave the other customers and come to him. So it was no wonder that he was disliked.
Well, it was also Toshizou’s fault, for he never reprimanded them, and let them do as they pleased.
So when Toshizou went to the brothel that day, he called for his favorite and had her play the shamisen as he rested on her lap.
