@yoroshiiku || Edo AU

Business had always been complicated around Edo, but with increasing regulations for merchants and competence arising pretty much everywhere as the era changed, both Yuta and his older twin had been forced to scramble for a mean of survival right after abandoning their father’s house.

It was better this way. He was convinced of it. So he didn’t minded the struggle.

Finding out about some sellers making their rounds around Yoshiwara and establishing permanent bonds with some houses there was a hit of luck on his part, just as much as it was to find a place which had recently lost their main seller

Talking his way in the best way he could, the younger twin seemed to have made his very first big sale. He was told to go to the backroom and unload there for the oiran in the house to get what they needed -he would later get the necessary money from the owner.

Good, good. He bowed down once, and cheerfully stepped into the fancy house. A place completely different to the world he had lived in, with floors that didn’t squeaked under your feet and warm lights at all time. More importantly, it was full of beautiful girls as he had never seen before

Once he reached the aforementioned room he put down his bag and organized the different things he had brought. The ‘older sisters’ took a good look at it, picking here and there for what they needed. A new comb, a bottle of sake, a new mirror, some tobacco... and he happily marked down the things in his reliable abacus.

He was ready to leave as soon as he was over, but right as he was organizing things to do so, he was invited to take a drink of tea and snacks. His hungry stomach couldn’t say no even if sweets weren’t quite his thing.
