Ayame, you must be tired.

There's still one client left.

Who that might be?

Hachibei, the merchant.

Hachibei, huh?

That old man is very hard to satisfy.

I can’t serve any more clients today, it is not possible.

But today is still your workday.

It costs 100 yen to come to Kirise, right?

I wonder if there is anyone who can generously pay me 100 yen?

100 yen, you say? You might have to spend 500 nights to get that money.

But who would pay you that much?

You should stop dreaming, yes?

I will give you something good later.

Could it be that Kisuke is visiting?

Who knows?

I will bring your customer now.

Come now, Ayame has been waiting for you.

Here.

Ayame, are you ready to have fun tonight?

I appreciate you paying a visit.

You can skip the bowing part. Let’s get right into it.

I can't stay for too long tonight.

Oh, Master! Your socks.

Please, have a good time.

My undergarment is in the way.

Namu amida butsu. Namu amida butsu.

Namu amida butsu. Namu amida butsu.

Namu amida butsu. Namu amida butsu.

Mister, you shouldn't peek.

What are you doing, you fool?

Go away, scram!

Please do as he says and move over.

What's up with him? Oh my!

It's so good!

Hey.

Thank you. Please, have a good time.

No! What are you doing?!

I want to see you naked. Show me your back!

No, I don't want it. You act like a savage, Mister.

Show me your back. I beg you!

That's not how it works!

Your upper arm looks pretty. I bet it's the same for your back.

You are such an annoying guest!

Just finish it quickly and leave!

Your legs and thighs are white and smooth.

Surely, your butt and back are also...

What are you doing, pervert? That's enough!

No!

Go away!

Hey, be quiet!

- You are distracting me! - Shut up!

You are the one who should be quiet and stop moaning!

What did you just say? Damn it.

Mister!

Don't fight, all right?

It's delicious, it's delicious!

Come on, I beg you. Show me your back.

No way!

I am not an animal. I can’t show you my back like that.

A woman’s main part is here!

I will pay you as much as you want.

How disgusting!

Mister, this is a 1 yen bill, right?

You can have all the money you want.

Are you giving me this?

Show me your back now.

All right.

But this place is too cheap for this amount of money.

Mister, would you spend the night with me?

Is it fine if I do it?

Usually, you’d have to become a regular guest for that,

but I will do something about it.

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

Let me kiss you! A kiss!

But that's...

You know I am a regular here!

Only a person I genuinely like can do it. That’s the vow I made.

Come on, stop being so prude. Let me have your nipples, then.

Oh my... hey...

Oh...

Oh?

I want to come. Now... right now!

I can’t help it, too. I am coming, I am coming.

- I am coming. - Let’s come together.

Together!

Here, you can wipe it.

Since I'm a mess now, please excuse me for a moment.

Hey, where are you going?

To the toilet. Please wait.

Uh... uh... hey!

Kisuke!

Ayame!

Cord... Untie the cord…

Ah, tongue, tongue...

You want my tongue?

Okay, get naked right now.

Calm down, Mister. Are you a doctor, perhaps?

No, I am a tattooist.

- A tattooist? - That’s right.

I draw tattoos.

Ah, so that’s why you wanted to see my back so badly.

My dream is to make a tattoo showing a spider having sex with a woman.

I have the composition, but the pretty skin, which is crucial, is missing.

That’s why, after visiting various places in Japan,

I came all the way to Nagasaki to find the perfect skin.

Let me tell you in advance, I am not interested in getting a tattoo.

I didn’t say you would.

I just want to see your skin a little. That’s all there is to it, really.

The skin you want to see... is like this.

This is the skin I have been looking for.

This is the skin!

You're tickling me! You sure are lecherous, Mister.

I beg you! Let me draw a tattoo on it!

- Please! - I refuse.

You'll receive the life of my tattoo to become a real woman.

The spider will be having sex with your flesh,

and your body will be having sex with men in this world, sucking their blood.

What a ridiculous thing to say. Let’s just sleep together.

I will suck your blood instead.

Come on, hurry up!

Sorry for messing up your hair.

It's okay.

It's been giving me a neck ache since this morning.

I'll have to take it down, anyway.

- Sorry about that. - Well...

What is this...

book you're looking at?

You mean this? It's the work of Hokusai.

Hokusai, huh? He's great, isn't he?

It might be the same type of illustrated book,

but unlike other authors who draw kabuki actors as females,

Hokusai draws real women.

So, there are many people who want to borrow it when I walk around with this.

Look! This position here...

- Can anyone do this? - Of course they can.

That’s because Hokusai is inspired by real life people.

Let's try it, then!

You want to try that?

Come on, let's do it!

I wonder if we can do this.

I doubt it.

Three times in a row is too much.

Who cares about that? I'm sure you can manage it.

Your legs go this way...

Then, the knees...

Like this?

That's right.

And then I do it like this.

Like that.

Kisuke, don’t pull your waist.

- Do it right, like this. - It tickles.

It's okay!

It somewhat feels slippery.

That's fine.

I will put my right arm around your neck.

Put your left arm around me, will you?

The right arm should support the weight, right?

Just try lifting my waist...

And put it in, like that.

This is somewhat difficult.

Ah, good, that’s good.

Now try grabbing my boobs.

Like this?

Like this, right? It’s tightening!

Do you think we look like the drawing now?

I think so. I can’t see anything, though.

It’s frustrating! I want to see us!

Wait a second, yes? Let me bring the mirror.

This ceramic patterned mirror shines so much.

One of the sailors called Bob gave it to me.

This is the position!

- I can see it clearly. - Is that so?

I can’t see anything at all. I only see my knees.

Does this work now?

Please hold it that way, I can see it properly like that.

Can you see it now?

Now I can!

It looks exactly like Hokusai’s drawing.

When you hold my body roughly like this,

it sure looks scary.

There's no way for me to avoid your groin.

I fit in like a helmet fits on a head.

I can't help it, either!

I can’t see anything at all.

When did this happen? When?

I don’t care about the mirror anymore.
