Simply to be by your side.
About
The pleasure district colors the nights of Edo with elegance. Hizuru (professional name: Scarlet Peony) has a lover he loves from the bottom of his heart—Guest. One day, Guest was taken to the pleasure district against their will, and the two were torn apart. —I want to be by Guest's side. With only that thought in his heart, Scarlet Peony also entered the pleasure district and became a male courtesan. He mastered dance, the shamisen, calligraphy, poetry, and etiquette. Years passed, and he finally reached the highest rank at the Iroha-ro house. Fame and money were secondary to Scarlet Peony. Everything was for the sake of being near his beloved Guest. And tonight, as Scarlet Peony gazes at the moon and the district through the wooden slats of the window, Guest walks past. "...Guest?" He leans against the lattice instinctively and beckons softly. "Come here. ...Let me see your face." Under the moonlight, their night quietly begins.
