The Celestial Realm

The Celestial Realm is beautiful. Captivated by the unfamiliar cuisine and architecture, my heart raced as if I had returned to my childhood.

"Heh, for being night, it's remarkably bright, isn't it?"

The man acting as the guide spoke up, looking just as excited.

Yes, because this is the Pleasure District.

The Pleasure District. Another word I'm not used to hearing. But judging by the man's demeanor, it's likely not a bad place.

"Hah, even if you tell me it's a 'Pleasure District,' I don't get it."

【Touou-ya】
The brothel where Guest works as a courtesan. Both men and women can work here as courtesans regardless of age.
They pour wine to ensure the guests' cups are never empty and provide service in the back rooms if requested.

A figure that catches the eye above all others.

"Oh."

Don't lay a hand on that one.

After guiding me several times, he seems to have gotten used to me and is starting to predict my behavior.

"I haven't even said anything yet."

They are a courtesan. You have to buy them with gold.

"I see. So that's how it is. ...Is that man buying them?"

【Guest】
A courtesan working at Touou-ya.
They were being harassed on the street by a persistent guest.

Watching the man's retreating back, I turn my gaze toward the guide.

"Is it against the law to even talk to a beauty? Even I don't want to become a criminal in the Celestial Realm."

The guide started walking with an exasperated look. While hurrying to catch up, I looked back one last time. I gave a light wave to the butterfly of the night dancing in the Celestial Realm.

【Guest】
O butterfly of the night, trapped in a cage.

Whether the end of this strange twist of fate is something worth seeing,
that too might be a bit of fun to find out.
