Chapter 155 Kitten
Jifutaro's plan is not well-thought-out, it can be explained in one sentence, it is so simple and straightforward that it is scary.
Such a plan has a lot of instability, but at the same time, such an extremely simple plan also means that it is impossible to guard against it and it is not easy to make any unnecessary mistakes. After all, there are no steps that need to be paid attention to. After Hinazuru returns to the room, just rush over and grab her directly.
Hinazuru might have some skills, but she definitely can't defeat Daki, let alone Jifutaro.
Therefore, Lin Guang did not express any objection to the plan. After all, he was not that enthusiastic about the arrest plan.
Unfortunately, even so, problems still arise.
Hinazuru suddenly fell ill.
He is very ill and looks like he will die at any moment. He may suddenly collapse and die in the next second of our conversation.
To be honest, this is not a rare thing in the red-light district, and it is not something worth worrying about if women here get sick. After all, people come and go, and no one can tell whether the person standing in front of them is carrying money or a knife, and whether there is sincerity or evil hidden under that skin.
But it's not like they don't care at all. After all, the shops here make money with the girls. Those who dress up in the house are not women, but clearly priced commodities, the cash cows here. It's not worth worrying about one person falling ill, but if it infects or affects others, then it would be a big loss.
So Hinazuru was immediately ordered by the brothel owner to pack up her things and be kicked out of Kyogokuya. However, a woman who had not paid back her debts and could not continue to make money would certainly not have a good ending. The brothel owner did not send her to recuperate, but concealed her identity and situation and sold her to the lowest level of brothel at a very low price. She squeezed out the last value of this woman, and only then was the brothel owner slightly satisfied.

"Ah, I'm actually sick and need to be sent away..."
When Daki heard the news, a look of disappointment appeared on her face, and she looked a little sad. The hairpin in her hand shook gently, as if she was expressing regret, but no one really knew what was in the heart of the courtesan Warabihime.
Lin Guang tilted his head and looked at Daki. In fact, he was not very clear about what the woman was thinking, but he knew that it was not regret. If there must be such an emotion, it was only because Hinazuru was sick and Daki felt sorry for her missing a delicious meal.
"Well, I heard he'll be sent away soon. He's packing up downstairs right now."
So he just responded and waited for Daki to reveal more information herself.
For him, he felt that Hinazuru's illness was fake, and the idea of wanting to leave here was more real. The difference was whether the woman found out that her letter had no reply or because she noticed that Daki's attention to her was increasing day by day. This did not affect the result. Rinkou was just using this method to entertain himself.
"Then give these to her for me, as a parting gift, and say a few nice words. Rinko can do it, right?"
The silk ribbons fell to the ground. Lingguang looked at the silk ribbons piled up on the ground and understood Daki's plan.
"no problem."
He agreed readily.
Anyway, he really wanted to meet that capable woman.
----
Before leaving, Hinazuru was grabbed by a little girl, whose small hands were tugging at the corner of her clothes and whose beautiful eyes were staring at her.
Hinazuru remembered this girl, the little girl who followed the oiran Warabihime. She knew Warabihime better than anyone else here. Although she had not actually seen the murder scenes, she could come to a conclusion, whether from rumors or from details, that the oiran Warabihime was the ghost hiding in Yukaku. Who would have thought that the ghost would disguise himself as an oiran to deceive people? She was also shocked when she realized this.
This also explains why the girls in Kyogokuya frequently disappear or die, and even the madam and the owner change more frequently than in other shops. Perhaps someone discovered something wrong and they were silenced or eaten.
"What's wrong, Rin?"
She remembered the girl's name because of Warabi. Initially, it was because she suspected Warabi, and later because the children around Warabi were always abused and beaten, so she also paid some attention to this little girl.
The good news is that compared to the rumors, Rin is a more obedient and sensible child, and seems to be more liked by Princess Warabi. At least after she came, the child was beaten much less often, and few people have seen Rin being beaten.
This didn't make sense, and Rin's quiet and reserved nature made Hinazuru even more suspicious that perhaps Warabihime had done something to her.
"A gift. For you."
A childish voice timidly read out a sentence, followed by a packed cloth bag held in the other hand. Hinazuru took the gift, which was not very heavy. It felt like something soft through the cloth.
"It's cloth. It's very nice and can be made into new clothes. I hope you get better soon."
The little girl's sweet voice gave her departure blessings, which were more heartwarming than any other existence here.
"Okay, I'll take it. Rin, take care of yourself."
She gently stroked the girl's head. The soft short hair felt like the head of a small animal, and the little girl whose head was stroked just smiled brightly at her.
Hinazuru left with her luggage. The little girl waved to her quietly at the door, but she didn't dare to run out by herself. Instead, she walked onto the street. When she looked up, the door under the porch seemed to be open a crack, and someone was peeking at her departing back.
Maybe it's Princess Warabi.
As long as she leaves here, no matter where she goes, she must immediately send a message to Lord Tianyuan, saying that there is a ghost here, a well-disguised ghost, and it might be the upper-rank ghost they have been looking for.
----
Some humans are actually very stupid, weak, foolish, and self-righteous.
They couldn't tell whether the person in front of them was sincere or not, nor could they guess whether the hand behind their back was holding a box or a dagger. They couldn't even tell whether the person in front of them was healthy or whether the girl in front of them was really a girl.
It will definitely be a surprise. The only question is who will be surprised and who will be happy.
Lin Guang leaned against the window, and the smile that Hinazuru gave him appeared in front of his eyes. He still remembered the feeling of that warm palm stroking his head. Unlike ghosts, ghosts were always more rough, as if they wanted to twist his head off, break his bones and then tear his neck.
In comparison, human touch is warmer and gentler, which is a characteristic that only humans have. It can be said to be gentle, or it can be said to be kind. But when the hand falls on the head, it reminds Rinko of Tamayo, and makes him feel like the kitten he touched carefully on the roadside, a creature that needs to be treated with care.
The kitten is not so weak that it cannot protect itself, but he cares about the kitten more, so he treats it more carefully, cautiously and gently.
So in the eyes of humans, he is like a kitten who needs to be cherished, Lin Guang asked himself.
Then laugh out loud in silent thought.
He was treated like this because he disguised himself as a human and was not discovered. What is he thinking?
