You're so lucky!

Mr Konoya's been coming here

since he was a young man.

Nothing to worry about.

Just lay back and shut your eyes.

I'm only worried that...

...while my eyes are shut

he'll fall asleep.

Takao-oiran must like you,

though.

Letting you have

a regular client like that.

I wonder...

Mr Konoya seems to have been

very persistent.

So it's not her idea...

Watch out, Kiyoha.

Yeah!

Uh-oh!

Kiyoha, since all you've got

going for you is your looks...

...I'll let you in on something.

The old man likes them

meek and mild.

So just lay back and let him do

whatever he wants.

Oh yeah?

Ah, me!

You smell so good...

Kiyoha, you're so nice...

I am? You've said

nothing but bad things about me.

Don't be angry.

I'm goingto show you...

...just how nice you are.

Kiyoha! Kiyoha!

She drives me wild!

She's only 17!

Look how white she is!

She's every bit as beautiful

as Takao-oiran.

She'll be the next oiran.

Just you wait!

I'll be her first!

You're crazy! I will!

It's me!

Me!

Me!

Me!

It's you.

All her clients come back

before three days are out!

The girl's amazing!

The daytime's busy, too.

Maybe we should give her

her own room.

And triple her price.

Like butter wouldn't melt

in her mouth!

When did she learn

to make eyes like that?

Yeah! She's really good.

It drives me crazy!

Why have I worked so hard

all these years?

Maybe you should take lessons!

What a thing to say!

I can't explain why,

but I know exactly what to do.

How to tilt my head

and Look at them...

How to Linger on them,

how to move...

Why, I don't know.

You're a man of wit, sir...

I am?

Thanks.

I'm not much good at this.

Is it fun for you?

Yes.

Where are you from?

Up north.

So you must like seeing the snow...

I've made up my mind

to forget everything...

...from before I came here.

You have?

Then when I come here

I'll forget everything, too.

The man of your dreams

will be handsomer than mine!

Read my wish!

It's for candy!

I wonder who he was...

Excuse me...

This place has so many rules!

They're a nuisance.

What's wrong?

Sit down.

I left the other day

without telling you my name.

That bothered me.

I didn't want you remembering me

as 'Joe Blow'.

My name is Soujiro.

I came to tell you that.

'Sou...

'...ji...

'...ro'.

I won't do anything...

...to cause you trouble.

Sorry.

Oiran, Mitsunobu's here.

Shigeji...

...here.

Mitsu!

Kiyoha?

You mean the girl

with the bold eyes?

You liar!

You said you only painted flowers...

...because there were no women

you wanted to draw!

I wasn't lying.

Why did it have to be her?

She was watching me.

Those eyes...

...sent chills up my spine.
