Chapter 817: How annoying, there are people here

The contest with Hattori Shizuka did not affect Akaso Kaze's mood in the slightest.

He had a wonderful sleep, and the next day he followed Toyama Kazuha to tour around Osaka City.

"That circular one is the Osaka City Hall, and the place across the way filled with high-rise buildings is the Osaka business district. Also, behind that cluster of buildings—you can't see it from here—but the news bureau building there is Osaka's most famous landmark."

At the Osaka Castle Tenshukaku, Kazuha excitedly introduced: "As for where we are now, this is Osaka Castle, the symbol of Osaka. How about it? Osaka is pretty great, right?"

"I think you haven't introduced the best thing here yet."

Akaso Kaze said with a smile.

"Is that so? Did I leave something out?" the girl asked curiously.

Akaso Kaze smiled and wrapped his arms around Toyama Kazuha: "That would be you. Such a beautiful and charming treasure, why didn't you introduce her to me?"

"How annoying, there are people here."

Toyama Kazuha blushed instantly, looking around; it seemed no one was paying attention.

She suddenly raised her head, gave Akaso Kaze a quick peck, then broke free with a flushed face and ran off.

The corners of Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly as he followed behind.

Not far away, Hattori Shizuka, disguised with sunglasses and a hat, had her brows tightly locked.

This Onmyoji is truly too good at coaxing women.

A young girl like Toyama Kazuha simply cannot resist.

"The Taiko first built the castle in the year 1599, Tokugawa Ieyasu rebuilt it again in 1629, and the people of Osaka rebuilt it 69 years ago, in 1931."

An aged but vigorous voice was introducing it to others.

Akaso Kaze, holding Toyama Kazuha's hand, happened to pass by.

"Hey, the badge pinned to his chest seems to be Tokugawa Ieyasu's family crest, the Hollyhock," the girl whispered.

"The young lady is correct. The people participating in our tour group are all admirers of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. We all met through the internet. We planned to start from Nagoya, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi rose to power, pass through Kyoto, and then arrive in Osaka."

The old man introduced with a smile.

"To increase the fun of the trip, every day after we finish breakfast, we draw lots to decide which role each person will play, and then wear the corresponding badge."

"There are four badges: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Akechi Mitsuhide. Then, for the entire day, the people playing Hideyoshi, Ieyasu, and Mitsuhide must address each other by the names of the roles they are playing, and serve the person playing Nobunaga."

"But in return, Nobunaga must pay for Hideyoshi and Ieyasu's dinner," a woman wearing glasses interjected, "Am I right?"

"So it is Miss Nene," the old man said, turning his head.

"There's even a role for Nene?" Toyama Kazuha's eyes lit up immediately.

"Those who don't draw one of those four roles have to play Nene."

The woman said with a smile.

Toyama Kazuha whispered to Akaso Kaze: "Nene was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's legal wife, one of the three great ladies of the Warring States period."

Toyama Kazuha was very interested in this tour group called the Taiko Hideyoshi Eight-Day Tour, so Akaso Kaze led her to join a few members of the group to tour together.

In the evening, the sky grew dim, and suddenly a rain shower began.

Akaso Kaze, holding Toyama Kazuha, stood under a large umbrella at the edge of the plaza, looking through the curtain of rain at the overcast sky.

Amidst the rumbling of thunder, flashes of lightning flickered from time to time, reflecting against the glowing Tenshukaku.

"It looks like this rain won't stop for a while. Oh dear, I should have brought an umbrella."

Toyama Kazuha said with regret.

"Coming out with me, what could you possibly lack?"

Akaso Kaze reached out and produced an umbrella............ ===== CHAPTER 819 =====
