Yoshiwara, the sky was just beginning to brighten. Tsukuyo opened her eyes and sat up without any sleepiness. She turned her head to look out the window. The pitter-patter of the rain outside the window did not stop at all.

It had been half a month in a row. Perhaps it was because of the rainy season. Recently, it has been raining every day. It was also because of the weather that Yoshiwara’s visitor flow was constantly decreasing. However, on the contrary, Hyakka’s work was much easier because of this. After all, fewer guests meant fewer guests were making trouble.

Because of the rain, all of Hyakka’s members had a very good rest time. Every day, they would only send a few people to patrol. There was no need for all of them to move out like before.

However, as the leader of Hyakka, Tsukuyo never rested. She still tirelessly patrolled every street and shop in Yoshiwara. Although Hinowa often advised Tsukuyo to rest these days, Tsukuyo still did as she pleased.



After washing her face, Tsukuyo changed her clothes. She sat in front of the dressing table and began to dress up. However, although she was dressing up, there were not many cosmetics on Tsukuyo’s dressing table. There were only a few simple necessities.

After a simple dress-up, Tsukuyo picked up the kiseru on the table, got up, and walked out of the door. The second thing Tsukuyo did after getting up was to wake Kawaki up as usual.

In Kawaki’s room, looking at the sleeping Kawaki, who was still snoring with a pillow in his mouth, the expressionless Tsukuyo stepped on Kawaki as usual, and it happened to be Kawaki’s face.

Because of this, Kawaki opened his eyes and then started the must-have program every morning – the quarrel between Kawaki and Tsukuyo.

The result of quarrel ended with Tsukuyo’s victory as usual. Gently spitting out a mouthful of smoke, Tsukuyo turned around and left, leaving only an unconscious Kawaki.

Next was breakfast time; as usual, it ended in Kawaki and Tsukuyo’s bickering, Hinowa’s smile, and Seita’s speechlessness.

After breakfast time.

“Ah, It’s been really comfortable recently.” After a burp, Kawaki rubbed his big belly and sighed.

“Speaking of which, Kawaki-san has been in his room for half a month. Is the charm of the game really that great?” Hinowa said with a smile.

“After all, it’s raining every day,” Kawaki replied casually with a toothpick in his mouth, “I can only stay in my room and play games.”

“If this continues, mushrooms will grow on my body.” Hinowa covered her face and chuckled.

“How is that possible?” Kawaki waved his hand dismissively.

“No, the mushrooms have already grown.” Hinowa pointed at the top of Kawaki’s head and said.

“How is this possible…” Kawaki subconsciously replied. At the same time, he touched his head with his hand. However, just as he placed his hand on his head, Kawaki felt a strange object. Without any explanation, he pulled it out and looked at it in his hand.

“Really!” Kawaki said with black lines all over his head. Then he looked at Seita beside him, “Speaking of which, did I have this mushroom since I got up in the morning?!”

“Don’t you look in the mirror when you get up?” Seita said expressionlessly, “Also, how long has it been since you shaved? You were just like Mario now!”

“Really?” Kawaki was shocked. Then he supported his chin with one hand and muttered, “It’s really amazing. The rainy season, this kind of weather can turn humans into Mario. Maybe the original Mario brothers became like that because of the rainy season.”

“How is that possible? You are the stronger one!” Seita shouted, “You are the first to stay indoors in this kind of weather for half a month without going out!”

“But there is nothing to do when you go out in this weather, right?” Kawaki spread his hands, frowned, and retorted, “This kind of weather can easily make people feel irritable, and the way to not make them feel irritable is to play games in the room. That is the wisdom of the ancient people! “

“What the hell! The ancient people never taught us to use games to pass the time in the rainy season!” Seita shouted and then sighed, “Forget it; I don’t want to argue with Brother Kawaki anymore. I feel tired every time.”

Seita clapped his hands and looked at Hinowa, “I’m full, mom. I’m going to school.”

“Be careful on your way,” Hinowa said with a smile. At the same time, she picked up a tall stack of wrapped bento boxes from the side and handed them to Seita, “Eat well at noon, too.”

“Oh,” Seita replied weakly. Then, he struggled to turn around and leave with the lunchbox.

“That…” Looking at Seita’s back, Kawaki was speechless, “Is Seita’s school going to hold a sports day? What is that? It’s almost as tall as Seita. What exactly is that?”

“Isn’t every day at school like a sports day for a child of this age?” Hinowa asked with a smile.

“What you said makes sense, hahaha…” Kawaki touched his head and laughed, “Speaking of which, I ate more than Seita at his age.”

“Huh? Really?” Hinowa muttered, a little puzzled, “Looks like I should make more of Seita’s bento in the future.”

“I’m full.” Tsukuyo, who had been chewing slowly, put down the bowl and chopsticks and then stood up unhurriedly, “I still have to go on patrol. I’ll be leaving first.”

“Didn’t I already say it? It doesn’t matter in this weather. You need to take proper rest.” Hinowa looked up at Tsukuyo, who had already walked to the door, “And you come back wet every night. You will catch a cold. At least bring an umbrella.”

“It doesn’t matter.” After Tsukuyo replied, she turned around and left without looking back.

“What a boring person,” Kawaki said disdainfully.

“You can’t say that. After all, Tsukki is doing this for the sake of Yoshiwara. It’s all thanks to Tsukki that Yoshiwara can have a peaceful life today.” Hinowa sighed and replied.

“Speaking of which, why don’t we seal the sky again? If we seal it, we won’t encounter this kind of situation?” Kawaki asked casually, “At least I think this kind of rainy day can be sealed.”

Hearing this, Hinowa smiled and shook her head, “Perhaps it’s because the past is too heavy, but now everyone doesn’t want to face that cage-like thing anymore.”

“Does the cage still exist in the heart?”

“No, it doesn’t exist anymore,” Hinowa shook her head, “It’s just that everyone probably doesn’t want to see that kind of thing anymore, just like me.”

“… Up to you. ” After a moment of silence, Kawaki waved his hand and replied impatiently. Then, he stood up and stretched, “I’m going back to play games. Thank you for breakfast.”



In Kawaki’s room.

After playing games for half a day, Kawaki took off his headphones and stretched.

“Sure enough, this kind of weather is most suitable for playing games in the room~,” Kawaki sighed slightly, then stood up and went to the window, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

Looking at the two or three guests holding an oil-paper umbrella and the courtesan’s shadow on the street downstairs, Kawaki smiled and whispered, “Well, it doesn’t look bad.”

At this moment, a girl’s voice came from downstairs.

“Little uncle! Little uncle!”

He followed the voice and saw Kagura waving excitedly at him with an umbrella. Seeing this, Kawaki smiled helplessly and then lazily stretched out his hand.



“In this kind of [Independence Day], you should go out for a walk.” Kagura held her little umbrella and sat on the roof, acting like an old mother.

“Eh?! is that so?” Kawaki stood on the roof with his umbrella. He narrowed his eyes at Kagura, whose little face was slightly red with a hint of excitement, “Why did you call the rainy season [Independence Day]? No, why are we chatting on the roof? You want to show off your flower umbrella, don’t you?”

“Ah, it’s not-aru! It’s not like that! It’s just that my original umbrella was broken, so I replaced it with this umbrella! To be frank, I don’t like this kind of low-quality umbrella that is easily broken!” As if her thoughts had been pierced, Kagura quickly retorted. However, she clenched the umbrella handle tightly and said in a mosquito-like voice, “I just thought that little uncle would only play games in his room in this weather, so I thought of reminding him…”

“Is that so?” Kawaki glanced at Kagura’s twisted posture. Then, he used his little finger to dig his ears and casually replied, “Then forget it. I originally wanted to say that umbrella is a perfect match for you. Since you said it like that, then forget it.”

“Really?! Does it really look like a good match-aru?!” Kagura asked excitedly, but she quickly covered her mouth after speaking.

Kawaki couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Speaking of which, who exactly did you inherit this personality from? Is it that baldy?”

“Stupid little uncle!” Kagura, whose face had turned red, turned her face away and spat.

“Well, don’t worry about it. Isn’t it good? Girls really like this kind of gaudy umbrella.” Kawaki waved his hand and said with a smile.

“I don’t like it! It’s just that my original umbrella is broken!” Kagura retorted.

“Yes, I got it.”

“Hmph!”



In the evening.

After dinner, Kawaki returned to his room. However, unlike usual, Kawaki did not go straight to his computer. Instead, he took his umbrella and walked to the window.

Looking at Tsukuyo, who was not holding an umbrella and was just about to go on patrol among the pedestrians holding oil-paper umbrellas in twos and threes, Kawaki sighed softly and then shouted down, “Hey! I will lend you this umbrella. Please, don’t break it.”

As he shouted, Kawaki threw the umbrella in his hand down.

Tsukuyo turned her head to take a look and then reached out to catch Kawaki’s umbrella. However, just as she took it, Tsukuyo felt that something was wrong because Kawaki’s umbrella was really a little heavy.

Just as Tsukuyo was about to say something, Kawaki had already closed the window.



Late at night, Tsukuyo opened Kawaki’s door and placed the umbrella near the door. After leaving a word of thanks, she turned around and left, not caring if Kawaki, immersed in the game with headphones, heard her words.

The next day, breakfast time.

“Speaking of which, your umbrella is really pretty good.” Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki, who was eating and drinking, and said with a face full of sincerity, “The speed of that kind of bullet is indeed much faster than that of kunai. The efficiency of dealing with troublemakers is much higher. By the way, where can I buy that kind of umbrella? I want to replace a new batch of weapons for Hyakka’s members.”

Kawaki, “…”
