Chapter 1433: Divine Palace!
First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~
...
Hokkaido, Sapporo.
This is a very important city in northern Japan, and of course, it's the only city Qin Fang had heard of. It is also the city with the fifth largest population in Japan and one of the country's designated cities.
In short, it's a city with quite a significant status in Japan...
Right now, after Qin Fang and his group left the Musashi School, they arrived at this city and directly checked into the best and most luxurious hotel here.
"Xiao Chuan, now that we're in Hokkaido, you're considered the local landlord. How you want to arrange the next three days is entirely up to you, as we are guests and will follow your lead..."
Standing in the presidential suite on the highest floor of the hotel, looking out at the bustling metropolis through the large floor-to-ceiling window, Qin Fang leisurely smoked a cigar, smiling as he spoke softly.
As for the "Xiao Chuan" he mentioned, it was of course none other than Kawada Masami!
Poor Kawada Masami's face was truly bruised and swollen. He was already forty years old, nearly twice Qin Fang's age, but in front of Qin Fang, he seemed like a small attendant, and even his name had changed to such...
But Kawada Masami had no choice. Although Qin Fang was very young, they were all martial artists who respected power. Qin Fang being able to take down Miyamoto Musashi was enough to make him a senior figure compared to Kawada Masami, so showing respect and politeness to Qin Fang was only natural.
Moreover, if he angered Qin Fang, he would certainly face consequences... Since Qin Fang could take down Miyamoto Musashi and thereby allow his father Kawada Musashi to rise to power, he could also take down his father Kawada Musashi!
After all, till now Kawada Masami and his father had not figured out why Qin Fang and his group wanted to storm the Musashi School.
"Rest assured, Young Master Qin, these three days will definitely be to everyone's satisfaction..."
No matter what, be it for his own life or to avoid offending a powerful figure like Qin Fang, Kawada Masami's only task was to take good care of Qin Fang and his people during these three days.
Though the Musashi School's strength was only considered moderate among the various Ninja sects, the death of Miyamoto Musashi further reduced its status.
However, Miyamoto Musashi's domineering ways did bring some benefits, as at least in the Hokkaido area, the Musashi School still held a strong position, especially in Sapporo City, where they were like the overlords...
It's said that Sapporo's local underground forces have almost indistinguishable ties with the Musashi School, and even the largest local leader is a disciple of the Musashi School...
Japan is quite a peculiar country where the underground organizations are considered legitimate, and even help the police solve cases, truly achieving a police and gangster alliance.
"Young Master Qin, this is Saburo Kohara, considered a significant figure in Sapporo. Anything you need, just order him, and you'll be satisfied!"
Kawada Masami was really not boasting; he soon brought in a man in his thirties to introduce him to Qin Fang.
Although Saburo Kohara didn't look very impressive and his strength was barely at Level 3, he was the leader of the strongest underground group in Sapporo, which was among the top five in all of Hokkaido...
Of course, even being in the top five doesn't mean much.
Excluding the major Ninja sects, Swordsmanship sects, the strongest black organization should be the Black Dragon Society, followed by world-class organizations like the Yamaguchi Group...
Under the suppression of such large organizations, even seemingly strong small groups are quite pitiable.
However, with the support of the Musashi School, Saburo Kohara's group was doing very well in Sapporo, and was indeed a dominant local power.
With such local support, Qin Fang and his group should have a relatively comfortable stay in Sapporo these few days...
"Hello, Young Master Qin..."
Though Saburo Kohara was a leader, in front of Qin Fang he was no different than a grandson. He didn't know exactly who Qin Fang was, but he could tell from Kawada Masami's attitude what his position should be.
"Kohara, just as we're going to stay in Sapporo for a few days, why don't you recommend some places for us to visit... preferably with some unique features..."
Qin Fang was not at all shy, immediately smiling as he spoke. Having promised Kawada Musashi three days, he naturally intended to make full use of them.
Since that was the case, Qin Fang and his group couldn't spend all three days hiding in the hotel; going out to play and relax was also a great joy for martial artists.
"Young Master Qin, the best season to visit Sapporo is winter, when there are many snow and ice activities, but now it's evidently not the right time... How about this, if you all don't mind, you could go horseback riding on the grasslands or soak in hot springs..."
Being a local, Kohara was very familiar with everything about Sapporo. After thinking for a bit, he suggested this to Qin Fang and his group.
Hokkaido is an area where agriculture and animal husbandry are very developed, and the grasslands here are quite lush, making horseback riding a great activity.
```
As for the hot springs, they are indispensable; Fusang people especially love this kind of enjoyment, and even in many romance films, some scenes are set in hot spring pools...
Although Qin Fang had a woman with him, he wasn't the type to be that reckless, but soaking in a hot spring and relaxing the body is quite nice.
The key point is, many hot spring pools in Japan have mixed bathing, and as soon as some scoundrel heard this, he got excited. Naturally, Qin Fang saw no reason to refuse.
"Young Master Qin, going to the grasslands is tomorrow's affair, tonight you see..."
Kawada Masami noticed that Saburo Kohara, whom he brought, was doing quite well, which made him feel proud. However, Kohara's plans had to be postponed, as there were no activities scheduled for tonight.
"Let's go out for a stroll and experience Fusang's nightlife..."
Qin Fang wasn't too concerned. He had already handed the Earth Ninja Token to Qin Zi, and she knew well what to do next, so Qin Fang didn't need to worry excessively.
The others were also not keen to stay in the hotel, so Qin Fang naturally waved his hand, allowing everyone to go and have fun freely.
Ji Xiang and Song Qingshan immediately went out on their own to find entertainment. From the expressions on their faces, it was clear they went to express some manly excitement!
Monk Wukong naturally didn't have such needs, so Qin Fang arranged for Hattori Sanzo to accompany this monk who indulges in food and drink. Since Monk Wukong couldn't speak the Fusang language, communication was going to be quite troublesome.
As for Qin Fang himself, Kawada Masami and Saburo Kohara accompanied him, and they planned to have some fun on Saburo Kohara's turf.
It was already nightfall, and although Sapporo is located in Hokkaido, a bit far from the main island of Fusang, its bustling nature was unaffected.
Roaming in such a city made Qin Fang feel as if he had returned to Jiangzhou... Of course, the environment here was much better than Jiangzhou's.
Saburo Kohara was the boss of the strongest underground syndicate in Sapporo, occupying the most prosperous central area, which was almost entirely his territory.
Naturally, Qin Fang and his group headed there. Saburo Kohara personally drove, Kawada Masami sat in the passenger seat, and only Qin Fang sat calmly in the back seat, his eyes wandering through the bustling streets outside the window...
"What's that place?"
While driving towards a bar owned by Saburo Kohara, Qin Fang suddenly inquired when passing a certain area in the central district.
Kawada Masami was taken aback, turned to look, and saw a massive architectural complex come into view. This building complex evidently had existed for a considerable time, at least several hundred years...
Though it had been well restored, with most damaged areas repaired, that didn't change the fact...
"That's... Hokkaido Shrine!"
Kawada Masami originally wasn't too concerned, but upon seeing the building, his face slightly changed color.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell Qin Fang about it and revealed the name of the building...
"Hokkaido Shrine... So, this is the Hokkaido Shrine?"
Upon hearing the name, Qin Fang's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, but he quickly regained composure and casually murmured to himself.
From his tone, it was clear that Qin Fang was familiar with the Hokkaido Shrine, possibly having heard of it more than once, otherwise he wouldn't have had such an impression!
"Young Master Qin, that's just a place of worship, nothing special..."
Kawada Masami hastily expressed, fearing that Qin Fang might have some ideas.
"Is that so?"
Qin Fang gave Kawada Masami a light glance and spoke in an incredibly light tone, but that glance nearly made Kawada Masami's soul fly away, his face turning extremely pale.
Furthermore, Kawada Masami was so frightened that he couldn't even speak...
"Young Master Qin, Master Kawada is right, there's nothing in the Hokkaido Shrine, just a place of worship... Apart from some priests appearing during festivals, usually, there's not even a ghost's shadow inside!"
Luckily, Saburo Kohara, while driving, casually supplemented the information next to him, without noticing the change in Qin Fang and Kawada Masami, simply stating facts.
"I see... I heard something about a Lilac Festival these days, does that mean there will be a festival activity inside the Shrine?"
Qin Fang smiled faintly, his tone still calm, and cheerfully inquired of Saburo Kohara... Kawada Masami might conceal some facts, but the unaware Saburo Kohara obviously wouldn't! (To be continued.
