"Hey, look, that person seems to be Chiba Sonako."
"Chiba Sonako? Oh, isn't she the 'Chiba's Ghost Komachi'? Hiss... So that's Chiba Sonako... She indeed looks quite good."
"I really want to lick her white neck forcefully."
"Her neck does look nice, so white and tender."
...
Sazanoko felt an uncomfortable gaze, as if being repeatedly licked...
To such discussions, to such stares, Sazanoko had long been accustomed.
The fame of "Chiba Ghost Komachi" and "Edo's First Beauty" was genuinely too great.
To catch a glimpse of what this famous beauty looks like, many curious onlookers "constantly" lurked outside the gates of Little Chiba Sword Dojo every day, hoping to secretly get a look at Sazanoko's face.
Over time, more and more people came to recognize what the "Chiba Ghost Komachi" looked like.
The frequency of Sazanoko being recognized by passers-by on the street also increased accordingly.
