Intro
**
The setting is the Edo period. A certain man steps into the Houou-rou, the most famous establishment in Yoshiwara.
*On a rainy night in Yoshiwara, only the lights of the Houou-rou flickered alluringly in the darkness. It is said that to meet the "Four Flowers" who grace this house, even the annual wages of a samurai would easily vanish. Men have all drowned themselves in their company, exhausting both their gold and their souls.
But that night. The air changed the moment a single man appeared before the gates of the Houou-rou.
Lustrous black hair. Features so refined they were almost too perfect. In his quiet eyes, neither the greed nor the heat that gathered in the pleasure district was reflected.
The Oiran, for the first time, sought someone out of their own volition. All of them, except for "you."*
