Chapter 380

She hugged Akaso Kaze and offered her red lips.

Akaso Kaze kissed her fiercely.

Hiro Kuze was so angry she couldn't stand it, but she couldn't bear to leave.

Akaso Kaze held Yuka Shodo and entered the room, throwing her onto the bed.

Looking at the two people in the room, Hiro Kuze’s face turned blue and red.

She opened the door wanting to leave, but finally closed it again.

No, I will absolutely not give up. Even if I die, I will be with you.

Hiro Kuze gritted her teeth and walked in.

Akaso Kaze was a bit surprised.

Two girls wearing gothic clothes, with gothic makeup, like twins.

This is really too strange.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, curling upward.

He used his Hand of Thought to close the door.

Saving two girls who almost went astray, this feeling is really not bad.

On the train to Shimane Prefecture, two women sat opposite Akaso Kaze.

One was a woman in her thirties with an intellectual look, and the other was a young girl.

During the journey, the three began to chat.

"Huh, is Mr. Kaze also very interested in poetry and the like?" the intellectual woman asked.

Akaso Kaze nodded, "I have done a lot of research on Chinese poetry."

"Is that so? That’s great." The intellectual woman chuckled, "I wonder if I could ask you to be a guest to participate in our Osaka Renku Society. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Reiko Ando, and I currently serve as an assistant professor in the Department of Japanese Literature at Osaka Junior College."

"You are a teacher?" Akaso Kaze felt this name was a bit familiar.

"Yes, this here is my student, Mizuki Kawaguchi. She works in the library."

Reiko Ando introduced.

"H-hello." The girl next to her, who seemed a bit shy, wore a pair of thick glasses, and her hair was all tied back. Perhaps because of her work, she still looked like a high school girl.

Seeing Akaso Kaze, Mizuki Kawaguchi’s little face turned a bit red.

This gentleman is really handsome.

Reiko Ando introduced the others in the Renku Society.

Two young men, one named Takashi Yagisawa, had a handlebar mustache and long hair like an artist, 32 years old, and ran a pastry shop in Osaka.

The other was Ryosuke Shiina, gentle and refined, wearing glasses, 38 years old, and was a dentist.

There was also a middle-aged man who talked about investment in every sentence, named Gizo Ushikubo.

"Teacher Reiko, who is this?"

Gizo Ushikubo sat alone in the window seat. With his raised eyebrows and hooked nose, he looked like a big boss who wasn't easy to get close to, and he curiously sized up Akaso Kaze.

"I, I’m a detective, I suppose."

Akaso Kaze didn't say he was an Onmyoji; his fame was too great now, especially in public, so it was better to be low-key.

Gizo Ushikubo’s eyes lit up and he asked, "You detectives, is money easy to make?"

Akaso Kaze smiled slightly, "Yes, it is indeed quite easy to make."

One commission for 20 million, how could it not be easy to make?

"We are on a Renku journey," Reiko Ando said: "After we arrive in Matsue, there will be a Renku conference tomorrow. Simply put, Renku is a game where multiple people connect sentences, which is Renga."

"With Mr. Kaze’s participation, this Renku journey will definitely be more interesting."

Akaso Kaze originally liked poetry very much, and after chatting with a few people for a while, they soon hit it off.

Arriving in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, it was already afternoon. Akaso Kaze stayed in the same hotel as the others, and after settling down, the group visited Matsue Castle along the way.

Akaso Kaze said: "Speaking of Matsue, the first thing that comes to mind is Matsue Castle. You can see the panoramic view of Lake Shinji from the castle. What people talk about most regarding Lake Shinji are the Seven Delicacies of Shinji."

Mizuki Kawaguchi followed him, walked up to the Shiroyama Inari Shrine, and asked curiously, "What are the Seven Delicacies?"

"They are the perch, whitebait, smelt, clam, prawn, carp, and eel produced here..."

"Mr. Kaze knows it really clearly. Have you been to Matsue before?" Reiko Ando and the others walked slowly behind.

"Yes, I have fished in Lake Shinji before."

Akaso Kaze led the group past a Japanese old mansion, "This is the former residence of Lafcadio Hearn. 'Earless Hoichi' and the 'Yuki-onna' are the most famous..."

After the former residence of Lafcadio Hearn was the destination, the Matsue Lake Water Hotel. As soon as Gizo Ushikubo arrived, he said he had an appointment to talk business, so the group waited in the hotel lobby.

"Someone will come to lead the way later. You can wait here for a while and eat some matcha and snacks prepared by the hotel," the front desk clerk received them.

"Okay, thank you."

Akaso Kaze sat on the sofa in front of the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the beautiful scenery of Lake Shinji in the sunset.

"Looking at Lake Shinji from here, it’s really nice, haha."

"Tomorrow morning, we will be able to see the clam harvesting."

Akaso Kaze picked up a pastry, "The pastries here are quite good."

"Of course," pastry shop owner Takashi Yagisawa smiled, "Matsue is as famous as Kyoto and Kanazawa, and is a major town for Japanese-style pastries. Our Osaka side is still quite a bit behind."

"I’ll try it too."

Mizuki Kawaguchi and the others followed and picked up the pastries on the coffee table.

"It looks delicious."

"Don't forget to brush your teeth well after eating," dentist Ryosuke Shiina reminded with a smile, "Eating sweets is bad for your teeth, especially if you eat sweets often."

Akaso Kaze put down the pastry plate and turned his gaze to the other side. That Gizo Ushikubo was still talking to a middle-aged man in a gray suit with a briefcase, and he could hear words like "stocks" from time to time.
