One Piece: Musicians and Generals.

Chapter 69: The Differences of the Deer House

Lan Xina followed Grandma Yuhe's instructions and the route on the map. Although the markings were clear, the rooms in the Deer Gathering House all had the same style, and she would occasionally make mistakes, let alone someone like Lan Xina who had a poor sense of direction.

Perhaps it was because her poor sense of direction did not come into play, Lan Xina walked smoothly to the place that Yuhe mentioned.

The door was half open, and inside, Kusakidera Shirae was dancing, while an old woman was sitting on the ground playing the shamisen for accompaniment and occasionally commenting from time to time.

When she was dancing, Kusakiji Shiraie looked like a real oiran. She didn't have the naughty qualities that she had seen before, nor did she have a temperament that seemed incompatible with her appearance. Instead, she looked very serious, cold and noble.

Lan Xina stood at the door and watched, is this the dance of Wano Country? It looks very different from those places in the New World. It looks like a very restrained and conservative dance.

For some reason, Lan Xina didn't like it very much, but there was no way. She was said to have become a geisha of Juluya temporarily, so she had to learn everything there was.

After the dance, Kusakiji Shirae can take a break. After all, she has started practicing early in the morning, so it is not too much to rest for a while.

"Miss the Oiran outside, please come in quickly." The old woman with geisha makeup turned her head and looked at Lan Xina who was standing at the door. Her hair was the daily hairstyle of women in Wano Country, her face was very white, and her eye makeup and mouth were different from what Lan Xina knew. Lan Xina was scared when she turned around just now.

She bowed to the old woman without changing her expression, then came in and knelt down on the futon near Hakue of Kusaki Temple.

The old woman's eyes lit up with love all of a sudden: "What a beautiful lady! This must be the new girl from Shirae Oiran who came in yesterday. She has a good eye. If the girl from Miura-ya grows up, she will definitely be as pretty as this."

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui lowered her head and laughed, and said gently: "Mother-in-law, you are joking. You were the most popular courtesan in Wano Country back then. To be able to hear you say this, Lanshina will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Lan Xina had a smile on her face: Is this still the Kusaki Temple Bai Hui I know? Is she possessed by something?

The flattery from Kusakiji Shiraie immediately made the old lady happy. She was indeed a popular oiran back then, but she retired due to old age and loss of beauty. Now she is being trained as a new oiran.

However, it is also because of her training that the geishas in the Flower City are still able to retain the most original kindness and are not corroded by the corruption of the Flower City.

The old woman started talking about some random things, probably just to flatter herself, but it was indeed true.

At this time, Lan Xina pulled Jiuqi Temple Baihui aside and whispered.

"Is this the old lady that Grandma Yuzuru was talking about? And she's an oiran? Do all oirans have to wear that kind of makeup?" Lan Xina glanced at the old lady and said with one hand to her mouth.

Kusakiji Shirae was silent for a moment, trying to organize her words. "Not exactly. The older generation of geishas almost all liked this makeup. But now it's different. The makeup is thick, but it's still pretty good."

Lan Xina suddenly realized, it’s just personal preference!

"Why didn't the others come? There weren't many people at Grandma Yuhe's place, so why are there only the two of us here?" Lan Xina asked.

Kusakidera Shirae did not answer her question, but just let her guess mysteriously.

Lan Xina closed her mouth and didn't want to guess.

Then she found a new topic, "You said this mother-in-law is the old courtesan of Miura House, why is she here?" Lan Xina asked. Generally speaking, aren't Miura House and Julu House competitors? How could she be good to her competitor?

Kusakiji Shirae puffed out her chest and said, "I am an oiran. Miuraya doesn't have a new oiran right now. Plus, Miuraya is the product of the merger of its predecessor. They need the help of Jukaya. Of course, I will help them, so this is the situation of cooperation between the two parties."

Lan Xina teased: "You didn't look like yourself just now, you looked like a real courtesan."

Kusakiji Shirae glared at her coquettishly: "What do you mean by a real oiran? I am an oiran, okay? I have to look like one, otherwise it would be cheap. And that mother-in-law is very skilled and really strict."

Kusaki Temple Hakue nodded affirmatively.

"...Miss Lan Xina must listen to these things carefully. If you want to gain the general's appreciation, it is not enough to just be beautiful!" said the mother-in-law. Her face became redder the more she spoke, and her eyes were determined to train Lan Xina to be an outstanding geisha.

Lan Xina was puzzled: How did it come to being appreciated by the general? It was a bit too much, she thought in her heart, but she nodded without changing her expression, and said obediently: "I understand."

The mother-in-law was very satisfied, and as a result, her exclusive oiran-level instructor arrived.

Kusakiji Shirae was the oiran and had received a lot of training in dancing, so naturally she sat next to the oiran mother-in-law and watched.

How could the oiran let her go? She asked Kusaki Temple Baihui to teach Lan Xina the most basic etiquette of Wano Country and the way to walk. Naturally, Lan Xina learned it perfectly.

"Raise your head and lower your waist, it will look good this way." The Oiran said as she strummed the shamisen in her hand, observing Lanshina while playing.

"Yes." Lan Xina was very serious and did the movements as instructed. Her slender waist, hidden under her robe, was even more alluring. Her face without makeup was very pure, making people involuntarily want to have only themselves in those eyes.

Kuzaki Temple Baihui smiled like a sunflower, hehe, beautiful girl, she abducted her!

Kusakiji Baihui is twenty centimeters shorter than Lan Xina. She is not twenty centimeters taller, but twenty centimeters shorter.

As expected, people in each world are different. Over there, people over 1.8 meters tall are considered very tall, but in this world, people over 2 meters tall can be found everywhere. Fortunately, Lan Xina is a medicine snake and is very tall, which makes the difference.

Of course, if the people of Juluya returned to their place, perhaps they would not be as tall as they are now, but would become bigger. However, it is different for Kusakidera Shirae, who is still 1.7 meters tall.

Soon a morning of teaching passed. "Lady Oiran Baihui, please be sure to train Miss Lanshina well in your free time. I will come again in two days," said the mother-in-law, holding the shamisen, at the door of Juluwu.

Across the street is Miura-ya, with only an aisle separating the two.

"I understand. Goodbye, mother-in-law." Kusakiji Hakue said, covering her face with a fan. As an oiran, she couldn't show her face in public casually, as it would be degrading.

Jiuqi Temple asked Lan Xina to stay behind her. Lan Xina was too beautiful and would be targeted by the bad guys outside. Although such things had happened before, they were all suppressed by force.

Lan Xina also leaned over to see the oiran off.

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui turned around, her left hand overlapping with Lan Xina's right hand, making them look like two sisters, and returned to the familiar incompatible look, "Let's go, let's go, I'm so hungry, it's time to eat, I'm craving for food." She rubbed her hands together, hoping that, thanks to Lan Xina, Kirino Di could successfully replicate the dish in her mind, as all the ingredients were available over there.

"This courtesan is really strict!" Lan Xina sighed, and suddenly thought of the days of training in the headquarters. It is true that strict teachers produce excellent students. She thought about it and she hadn't informed them yet. The Den Den Mushi on her body was also drowned.

So he asked, "Does Wano Country have Den Den Mushi?" But then he thought again, Wano Country has not been founded yet, and the people there cannot leave the country without permission. That's how Kozuki Oden sneaked out.

"Do you know what a Den Den Mushi is?"

Kusakiji Shiraie made up an apple from nowhere to fill her stomach. "Of course I know. The people in Juluya are not native to Wano Country. It's just the snail on your body. It's a pity that it's dead. If you want it, you can only try your luck on Onigashima. There are no outsiders there. They look ferocious."

Kuzakiji Shiraie pretends to be very innocent. She would never say that it is the territory of the Four Emperors Kaido.

"Then how do we get to Ghost Island?" Lan Xina asked.

"Then you can only wait until the next time you go to Onigashima to perform. But before that you have to learn our internal dance. It's different from the one in Wano Country. The clothes we wear are the same as those in the morning." Kusakiji Shiraie said, making a gesture of seven with her fingers.

"I heard earlier that there are pirates entrenched in Wano Country. They should be the Four Emperors Kaido. It seems we have to be careful. I just don't know if it will bring danger to them." Lanshina said with her eyes lowered.

Kusakiji Baihui smiled again: "Although it is very dangerous up there, I feel that the IQ of the cadres there is not very high. The only one who needs to be cautious is the one covered in black. He looks smart. The others are simply those who need to use force.

Be a little more cautious."

She let go of Lan Xina's arm, crossed her arms, hugged her chest, and said with a smug look on her face: "But the thugs in our Ju Lu House are very strong. We had conflicts before, and they even wanted to recruit our thugs."

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui sneered: "You must be joking. Our thugs can be recruited by them whenever they want."

Lan Xina wanted to know the follow-up: "What happened next?"

"Of course it was resolved peacefully! We maintained a cooperative relationship."

"Are our thugs the people from the other table yesterday?" Lan Xina had never seen those people before. It was not for any reason, but because they were covered too tightly and she did not see them.

"Yes, our fighters are very strong. If you don't believe me, you can disguise yourself and go to the street to ask any warrior. If nothing goes wrong, they will basically know each other."

Because those guys outside are all defeated by me!

Jiuqisi Baihui took Lan Xina's shoulder and said earnestly: "Promise me, sister, that you must disguise yourself when you go out. Don't let your little face show up outside. It will be bad if the people from Ghost Island find out. Although you may not meet that person, it is not certain."

Seeing this, Lan Xina really wanted to know who made Kusaki Temple Bai Hui so afraid.

"Every time I go there, I make myself look ugly!" Of course, only a little bit ugly.

"The one wearing black sunglasses, with yellow hair in long braids, tall and scary, performed on Ghost Island that day, it was really scary. He grabbed my hand and knelt down in front of me, telling me his love for me, but I can't pick him, he's really not my type, not to mention that I can't stay here forever. Besides, I'm not belittling him, but our thugs are more handsome than him!"

Lan Xina nodded. She had seen them in the morning. They were much more handsome than the people outside Wano Country. Each of them could charm many girls. Take Kirino Kabuto for example, he was amazing!

Lan Xina guessed what happened next: "So you rejected him harshly, and then he turned his love into hatred and killed you?"

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui was stunned: "How do you know? That's it."

Lan Xina continued: "And your thugs saved you? Because you were too strong, they wanted to recruit you, but you refused. Then both sides took a step back, kept out of each other's way, and continued the cooperative relationship?"

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui nodded: "How smart, Lan Xina." Although it is okay for my thugs not to show up, they can't beat me together, but it is better to have less trouble than more, so if someone takes action, why not do it.

"So the other sisters are missing, which means they went to Onigashima?" Lan Xina guessed that they went to Onigashima, because none of the thugs in Juluwu were seen this morning. Only Kirino Di, who occasionally acted as one of the thugs, was tinkering with new dishes in the kitchen.

Kusaki Temple Bai Hui stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of Lan Xina, "No, no, no, I asked them to do something else. The thugs were also sent out."

She hugged Lan Xina's arm again and said, "Come on, come on. If we calculate the time, they have returned a long time ago. They must be in the dining hall now."

When they arrived at the dining hall, there was a lot of noise inside. At the beginning, Fujiwara Haruka was very small, just a little below Lanshina's chest. She looked up at Lanshina and said, "It must be tiring to study with the oiran grandma! But it doesn't matter. You can learn my massage techniques when you have time."

After saying that, she nodded twice at Lan Xina.

He looks very expectant, probably wanting to do anything to her. His thoughts are written all over his face, just look at his flushed little face.

"You're really cheating again!" A gentle male voice with a hint of helplessness came from the kitchen.

A nice, sunny and lively girl also came out, as if she was acting like a spoiled child, "It's okay, brother, your cooking skills are too good! Hehehe,"

"There's really nothing I can do about you," said a man with long silver-gray hair, wearing an apron and long sleeves tied around his shoulders with strips, as he brought a black pot from the stove.

"Take this thing out to Lan Xina. This is the fish maw that the big sister mentioned. I don't know if it will be successful. This is my first time trying to make it. The big sister's previous ideas all failed." Kirino Di said regretfully. His cooking skills are not that good.

Du Hua Linghe patted the man on the shoulder, comforted him, then went out with the black jar and his own plate.
