I formed the strongest swordsman group

"I am Yuu's elder brother Miyagawa Otogoro! Next, I will perform our Tama dance for everyone! Please enjoy it!"

Miyagawa Otogoro really deserves to be Isamu Kondo's elder brother. The two brothers' unrestrained and enthusiastic temperament are really carved out of the same mold.

Miyagawa Otogoro, who had just finished performing "Five Steamed Buns Stuffed in the Mouth", immediately began to perform the folk dance of their hometown Tama.

Many of the guests at the banquet today are fellow Tama fellows from Kondo and Hijikata.

So seeing that Miyagawa Otogoro was about to dance the Tama dance, many fellow Tama fellows from Kondo and Hijikata... For example, Hijikata's brother-in-law Sato Hikogoro stood up spontaneously and joined the dance.

The banquet hall turned into a dance hall for a while.

It has to be said that it is not a bad thing to have a "community cow" like Miyagawa Otogoro who is good at creating atmosphere in this kind of "festive"-themed banquet.

Thanks to Miyagawa Otogoro and fellow Tama folks who enthusiastically danced with him, the liveliness of the banquet was raised to a new level.

The guests stood up one after another and pushed their seats to the four corners of the room, giving up the central position of the banquet hall, leaving enough space for Miyagawa Otogoro and others to dance.

As the center of the banquet hall was given up, the density of seats suddenly increased, and the vacancies left by Kiryu, Komu Goro and others were squeezed. Qingdeng, Kinoshita Mai, Sanako, and the chief executive 4 had to sit together.

Qingdeng's current seating positions at their "table"...with Qingdeng as the center and clockwise, they are: Qingdeng, Zongsi, Sanako, and Kinoshita Mai.

Why did the "parents" of the three girls suddenly leave at the same time? Is it a coincidence? Or is it intentional?

If it is the former, it would be a bit too coincidental...

But if it's the latter, it feels unlikely.

The three parties never had any communication before the wedding banquet.

The Gumu couple, Chiba Shigetaro, and Okita Hikaru did not know each other at all.

It's impossible for them to agree in advance to leave at this time at the same time, right?

No matter what the answer to this question is... Qingdeng can't care about it for the time being.

At this moment, Qingdeng, who felt a little tight in his neck, scanned the pretty faces of the three beauties around him with a tentative gaze.

At the same time, Kinoshita Mai, with her legs tightly together and her shoulders tightened, lowered her eyes, stared nervously at the tatami in front of her knees, and raised her shrinking eyes from time to time, secretly looking at the person who was so close to her at this moment. Qingdeng and the others... The moment her gaze touches Sanako, she always moves away reflexively, as if being scalded by boiling water.

Sanako still maintains a cold and calm demeanor...but the frequency of drinking tea from the cup next to her lap has obviously increased a lot.

There was only one person who did not show any abnormality - that was the chief secretary who was already drunk.

If he doesn't touch alcohol, he will be greedy when he touches alcohol. At this time, his eyes are half-closed, his eyes are blurred, his face is flushed, and he is half-drunk and half-awake.

If it were normal, Qing Deng would have already snatched the wine glass from the chief executive, and would not let her drink any more.

However, because today is a rare day of celebration and great joy, Qingdeng decided to turn a blind eye and close one eye today, allowing the chief executive to indulge once in a while.

Qingdeng: "..."

Kinoshita Mai: "..."

Sanako: "..."

Director: "Huh? Mr. Ju, why do you smell so good?"

Qingdeng: "Because what you smell is Jinpingtang."

Qingdeng, Kinoshita Wu, and Sanazi have been silent for a long time... Qingdeng doesn't know what to talk about now, and he doesn't know if these two women are like this.

The atmosphere that diffused between them was very awkward for a while.

Fortunately, the chief executive who was already drunk said some nonsensical nonsense from time to time, which played a certain role in activating the atmosphere, and the atmosphere around them did not completely become rigid.

In this silence, the person who broke the silence first was the cold and taciturn Sonako.

"Mr. Orange, Radish has been acting weird recently."

"radish?"

"Hmm. It used to have endless energy every day. It walked around the courtyard and the sword hall after eating. But recently it has no energy. Except for eating, it is still very active. They were all lying in a daze or sleeping in the corner of the yard."

"Is it sick?"

Qingdeng still likes his pet cow who is both cute and cute, but also very human.

Therefore, after hearing that Luobo had been ill recently, he couldn't help but make a nervous voice.

Sanako shook his head.

"I asked the veterinarian to give you a diagnosis and treatment for Luobo. The veterinarian said that Luobo is very healthy... The diagnosis given by the veterinarian is that you haven't seen Luobo for a long time. Luobo misses you very much, so you are a little unhappy."

"Carrot misses me?"

After hearing this, Qing Deng was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"That's right... I really haven't seen him for a long time recently..."

The recent important things come one after another, lined up, dizzying.

After the "Red and White Battle" with Xuanwukan, there will be a fireworks show with four girls in a row.

After the lively fireworks display, I was busy preparing to go to the city to meet Iemo Tokugawa and Tenzhoin.

After seeing these two big brothers, he went to Tsukinomiya Shrine in a daze under a secret order from Iemo Tokugawa, and was conscripted into the new Royal Court of "a brand new secret army in the bright, and Iemo Tokugawa's private armed forces in the dark". Fan.

After finishing all these messy things, I started to work on Isamu Kondo's wedding...

Looking back and thinking about it carefully, it is true that Qingdeng hasn't visited Radish at Little Chiba Sword Hall for a long time.

"I happen to be free tomorrow." Qingdeng said, "I'll go and have a look at it tomorrow morning."

Sanako nodded.

"Carrot seems to be a little too dependent on you...I personally feel that this is not a good thing."

"You are on vacation now, and there is still a way to visit it frequently and play with it."

"Two months later, when you officially transfer to Huofu Thief Kai, you need to spend more time and energy on serving the public, and have no time to care about other trivial matters... I don't know how depressed the carrot will be."

Faced with Sanazi's indifferent emotion, Qingdeng smiled noncommittally.

Qingdeng moved right to Huofu Thief Kai, and the official start date is November 1st... It's no secret.

The shogunate really gave Qingdeng enough benefits this time.

In order to reward Qingdeng, and at the same time allow Qingdeng to have enough time to recuperate physically and mentally, the shogunate gave Qingdeng a recuperation holiday that lasted until November.

In other words, Qingdeng can spend another two months of vacation time leisurely.

Huofu Thief's Change, and Enforcement's order - in terms of busyness alone, the latter is actually the busiest.

After all, the manpower of the latter is overwhelmingly insufficient. The sum of the "three times" and strength and concentricity of the two enforcement offices in the south and the north does not exceed 40 people.

And Huofu Thieves Kai has 8 teams, and each team has dozens of people.

When there is a shortage of manpower, you can also ask for someone from the first bow team and the first iron cannon team.

And only those major cases and important criminals that are unable to be dealt with by the practice.

Therefore, in general, Huofu Thief Kai is a little more leisurely than "Three Times"...but the degree of danger and the death rate are much higher than "Three Times".

However, no matter how you say it, after 2 months after Qingdeng officially joins the job and changes to pay thieves, he will definitely not be able to spend a lot of time every day doing what he wants to do like now.

While Qingdeng and Sanako were chatting about radish——

"..." Kinoshita Mai, with the corners of his mouth drooping, raised his eyes and glanced at Zanako quietly. Immediately afterwards, his eyes fell on Qingdeng's body, he bit his lower lip lightly, his eyes were complex and unspeakable...

"It's just helping Qingdeng raise a cow..."

After muttering so loudly that only she could hear clearly, feeling thirsty, she cupped the teacup on her knees with both hands and drank it down in one gulp.

Kinoshita Mai drank the bottom of the cup in one gulp, but because he drank too fast, he accidentally choked the tea into the pipe.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"

Kinoshita Mai's hasty cough interrupted the conversation between Qingdeng and Sanako.

Qingdeng, whose attention was attracted by Kinoshita Mai's rapid coughing, quickly looked over.

"Awu, what's wrong with you?"

"No...cough! It's okay...it's just that I drank too much tea...cough! I just choked...cough!"

After saying that, Mai Kinoshita took out the kaiseki from the lapel of the kimono.

Just when she was about to stick the bosom paper to her lips and wipe off the tea and saliva left on her lips, she suddenly seemed to think of something, her eyes slanted, and she glanced at Qing Deng quietly.

Immediately afterwards, she straightened her waist slightly, and performed a series of actions such as handing the natal paper to her lips, wiping her lips, folding and putting away the used natal paper, etc., in an extremely light, slow, and elegant manner .

Whether Kinoshita Mai accidentally choked on the tea, or she took out a pocket paper to wipe her mouth, it was just a trivial matter that didn't deserve much attention.

After confirming that Kinoshita Wu was drinking too much tea, Qingdeng silently withdrew his eyes and attention.

But there was one person who paid a lot of attention to Kinoshita Mai...

"..." Sanako half-closed his eyes, staring at Kinoshita Mai with thoughtful and meaningful eyes.

After her conversation with Qingdeng was interrupted by Kinoshita Mai's cough, Sanako began to look at Kinoshita Mai with this weird expression.

Because Sanako is the only one who pays close attention to Kinoshita Mai now, only Sanako has discovered that Kinoshita Mai specially makes the gesture of wiping her mouth extremely elegant.

"..." Zuo Nazi, who always pays attention to his own image, frowned his eyebrows very rarely at this moment.

At this time, the chief executive, who blushed even more, said something stupid again.

"Hmm~~ Mr. Ju, why does your smell become fragrant again?"

"I've said it all, what you smell is Jinpingtang." Qingdeng said while snatching the wine glass from the chief executive's hand with ease, "Mr. Chongtian, you can't drink any more."

I thought today was a rare day of celebration, so I turned a blind eye to the director's greedy behavior. As a result, it seems that it is impossible not to control the drinking behavior of the general manager.

Let the general manager drink like this again, and she will say to the filth in the toilet later: "Huh? Mr. Ju, why did you become stinky?"

The chief executive, who was completely insane, glanced at the empty hands that had been taken away from the wine glass, and pouted:

"Cut... stingy... ha~~"

The chief yawned vigorously, then tilted his body and fell towards Qing Deng. The little head just rested on Qingdeng's left shoulder.

"Huh?" Qingdeng, who was startled by the sudden leaning of the chief, cast a surprised look at the chief, while shaking his left shoulder lightly, "Hey, Okita-kun, wake up, wake up .”

No matter how Qingdeng shakes his shoulders, the chief does not move... Instead, he twists his body and neck, letting his little head climb up along Qingdeng's left shoulder, his forehead sticking closer to Qingdeng's neck some.

The chief executive's slender and light ponytail scratched Qing Deng a little itchy.

"Hmm~~Konpei candy is so delicious... um...? Why doesn't it taste...?"

"Of course, because you're eating my haori."

Qingdeng was casting a helpless look at the chief executive who was "crunching" the feathered cloth on his left shoulder like a sheep.

Confirming that the chief executive had completely lost the consciousness that a normal person should have, Qingdeng clamped the chief executive's head with one hand, and held her shoulder with the other.

While letting the chief executive let go, he laid the chief minister flat on the tatami beside him with gentle movements.

When the chief executive's lips and teeth left Qingdeng's clothes, there was a large puddle of saliva and two rows of small and neat teeth marks on the haori on Qingdeng's left shoulder.

In order to let the chief executive sleep more comfortably, Qingdeng took off the haori on her body, and folded the haori into a pillow for her to lean on.

"..." Kinoshita Mai quietly took a panoramic view of the series of interactions between Qingdeng and the chief executive.

After a while, she squinted her eyes and looked at the glass full of wine on her lap.

In the glass, the calm mirror-like water surface clearly reflected Kinoshita Mai's flattened face.

Kinoshita Mai, who was looking at "myself" on the water, took a deep breath.

A resolute look appeared on his cheeks, as if he had made some decision.

...

5 days ago... that is, on the last night of the fireworks festival, Kinoshita Mai really felt aggrieved, annoyed, and angry when she knew that she was not the only girl watching the fireworks with Qingdeng...

On the spot, he wanted to punch Qing Deng directly.

She didn't tell Kiryu that Qingdeng was a "master of time management".

Kinoshita Mai, who was in her 2008 years, has a strong sense of privacy.

How could she be ashamed to tell a senior like Kiryu about such a relationship between a young girl and a young girl.

So Kiryu didn't know that Qingdeng had a very intensive and "wonderful" fireworks display.

Although Kinoshita Mai even directly had the urge to punch Qing Deng hard at that time... But it is miraculous—whether you feel annoyed or angry, most of these negative emotions will miraculously disappear the next day.

After another day, all these negative emotions will disappear.

The only emotion left is... the longing to know what Qing Deng is doing now.

Thinking about it carefully, Qingdeng and I are neither engaged nor husband and wife.

Strictly speaking, I may just be a very special friend to Qingdeng.

That being the case, if Qingdeng can play with me, then naturally he can also play with other friends!

Qingdeng is not my property, so what right do I have to force him to associate with whom and who not to associate with?

This is so... After such self-consolation, Kinoshita Wu self-containedly let go of her previous suspicions against Qing Deng, and all the unpleasantness of that night was forgotten by Kinoshita Wu.

The feelings for Qingdeng overwhelmed the dissatisfaction with Qingdeng.

Looking at the chief executive who fell on Qingdeng's shoulder because of drunkenness, Wu Kinoshita felt envious in his heart, and at the same time, a bold idea popped up in his mind...

Kinoshita Mai let out a "ha" and took a deep breath.

Then, she carefully scanned the surrounding area, and after confirming that neither Kiryu nor Gu Mu had returned, she picked up the drink on her knees and drank it down in one gulp!

The wine that Kinoshita Mai drinks is quite strong, about 20% in modern units. For Kinoshita Mai who doesn't drink often on weekdays, this is already a very strong liquor.

Kiryu has been strictly controlling the drinking of Kinoshita Mai on the grounds that "you are still young". Only in certain activities and occasions, Mai Kinoshita is allowed to drink a little alcohol.

I just feel like Kinoshita Mai who has swallowed a ball of fire, his face is stimulated by alcohol, and it is instantly stained with a blush color, and there are "buzzing" vibrations in his head.

"Hmmm..." Kinoshita Mai put down her wine glass, shaking her body half-truthfully.

In a moment, she closed her eyes, tilted her head, and her delicate body fell in the direction of Qingdeng as if being pulled by her head.

She has figured it out! As long as she falls over at this angle, her head will be able to rest on Qingdeng's right shoulder just like the chief executive did just now!

Kinoshita Mai is full of anticipation.

As a result... just when Kinoshita Wu's head was about to hit Qingdeng's shoulder, the falling of Kinoshita Wu's body stopped suddenly.

Someone reached out to support Kinoshita Mai.

Um? Did Qingdeng hug me...

Kinoshita Mai felt a little disappointed... She wanted to rest her head on Qingdeng's shoulder like the chief executive did just now.

However, Kinoshita Mai quickly relieved herself of her worries.

Forget it...it's okay to be hugged by Qingdeng~~

Kinoshita Mai with a quiet smile on her lips, twisted her delicate body a few times, wanting Qingdeng to hold her tighter.

But at this moment, Kinoshita Mai suddenly noticed something was wrong...

Um?

Kinoshita Mai twitched her nose vigorously.

How do you feel... Qingdeng is fragrant?

Just when Mai Kinoshita asked this question——

"Miss Kinoshita, since you are not good at drinking, please be more restrained."

Hearing this sound, Kinoshita Mai immediately opened her eyes as if she had been scalded by boiling water.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a cold and beautiful face overlooking her expressionlessly.

Sanako straightened Kinoshita Mai's body, and then withdrew the hands that had been holding Kinoshita Mai just now.

...

Anyway, what about Mr. Ju's private life, and what does it matter to me? —— Sanako said this to herself on the night when the fireworks display ended.

Like Kinoshita Mai, Sanako also had the urge to punch Qingdeng after learning how busy and colorful the three-day fireworks festival was.

But Sanako regained her composure that night.

snort! What am I angry about?

Qingdeng is not someone of mine. It doesn't matter what he thinks of me. Anyway, I have always regarded Qingdeng as a friend with a fairly good relationship.

At that time, Qingdeng took me to play and watch fireworks just to comfort me who was lost because of knowing that my future achievements in martial arts were limited.

Going out with friends - makes sense.

Perhaps in the eyes of busybodies and uninformed outsiders, Qingdeng and I's behavior of going to the fireworks festival alone is very ambiguous...Let these idlers talk about such gossip.

I just know what I'm doing.

How Qingdeng's private life is, who he has a good relationship with... It has nothing to do with me!

So and so... After such a self-adjustment, Zuo Nazi, who repeatedly said to himself, "Qingdeng and I are just friends", readjusted his mentality and stopped worrying about the unpleasantness of that night.

But—although Sanako no longer dwells on the unhappiness of that night, there is something that makes her brood...

That is Mai Kinoshita!

Sanako couldn't say why... Maybe this is the so-called "horizontal incompatibility". When meeting Kinoshita Mai for the first time, Sanako had an inexplicable sense of... repulsion towards Kinoshita Mai.

It's not that I hate her or hate her, it's just that I don't get along with her.

This feeling of repulsion suddenly surged in that night... the night when I knew that Mai Kinoshita and Qingdeng were swimming together at the Ryogoku Bridge illuminated by the light of fireworks!

What is the specific reason, Sanako is not clear. It should be the compatibility between the two of them, it's inherently bad!

In short, since then, Sanako has been displeased with Kinoshita Mai.

Although she doesn't have any experience of intimate contact with men who are not relatives, Sanako thinks that she is not a person who is insensitive to emotions.

From Kinoshita Wu's words, deeds, and actions, she can see that Kinoxia Wu has a strong affection for Qingdeng.

Therefore, Sanako strongly suspects that Mai Kinoshita's "choking on drinking tea" just now is completely fake! The purpose is to interrupt her chat with Qingdeng!

Jealous of her being able to chat with Qingdeng, she decided to interrupt her conversation with Qingdeng by pretending to be choking on water.

When she took out her pocket paper to wipe her mouth, she pretended to be gentle, slow down, and pretend to be elegant... Is this trying to attract Tachibana-kun's attention?

Ah!

This little girl is really interesting.

Although he is young, he has a lot of thoughts!

Out of this unreasonable rejection of Kinoshita Mai, no matter what Kinoshita Mai does, Sanako feels an eyesore and wants to fight her.

Therefore, seeing the "drunk" Kinoshita Mai about to fall on Qingdeng's shoulders, Sanako immediately displayed her martial arts skills, and quickly reached out to support Kinoshita Mai...

...

"Thank, thank you..."

Kinoshita Mai thanked her in a stiff tone for helping her who was about to "fall", while looking at Sanako who had returned to her seat with an indifferent expression.

In an instant, Kinoshita Wu's brows were filled with resentment that a good thing had been disturbed, as well as a sense of tension as if he had encountered his own natural enemy.

Kinoshita Mai was not a person who cared much about her appearance before.

But after getting acquainted with Qing Deng, she began to pay attention to the new products in the clothing store, and became interested in makeup and dressing.

Although she really didn't want to admit it...but she was very envious of Sanako's prettier face, more alluring figure than her, and her elegant temperament that was more attractive than her.

This feeling of envy has made Kinoshita Mai to imitate Sanako's movements and manners intentionally or unintentionally recently.

Just now when wiping his mouth with his pocket paper, the reason why he suddenly changed to a gentle and graceful movement was because of this desire to imitate and learn from Sanako.

Because of Sanako's excellence, he yearned for and envied Sanako.

Also because of the good relationship between Zuo Nazi and Qingdeng, he has a strong hostility towards Sana Zi.

What does this woman want to do? Did you kindly come to help me because you saw that I was about to "fall down"? Or……

Just as Kinoshita Mai was furiously launching a "brainstorm"——

"A Wu, are you drunk?"

Qingdeng's concerned voice came from beside him.

"Ah..." Kinoshita Mai was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Qingdeng.

Kinoshita Mai, who was not good at drinking, was blushing at the moment, and at first glance she looked really drunk.

Facing the worried gaze cast by Shang Qingdeng, Kinoshita Mai, whose blush suddenly became more intense, subconsciously lowered her gaze, looked at her fingertips, and twitched:

"I'm fine, I'm fine... I just accidentally drank too much..."

As soon as Kinoshita Mai finished speaking——

"It looks like, Ms. Kinoshita, you are not very good at drinking. You don't even smell of alcohol on your body, so you are already drunk."

Sanako's unsalty words attracted Kinoshita Mai's eyes full of vigilance.

Sanako pretended not to notice Mai Kinoshita's gaze, and silently lowered her head to eat.

- Goo...! This woman... really wants to fight against me!

——Do you just don’t want to see me interacting with Qingdeng...

——Could it be that...she also likes Qingdeng very much...

Suddenly, the sense of crisis rapidly expanded in Kinoshita Mai's heart.

Being crushed by Sanako's hands one after another... Even Kinoshita Mai, who is good-tempered, can't help but feel aggrieved.

The sense of crisis that was growing rapidly in Kinoshita Wu's heart at this moment contributed to this aggrieved feeling.

I saw Kinoshita Mai tensing the lines of her face, staring quietly at Sanako across the way, racking her brains to think about the strategy against the enemy.

However... as a young white flower, Kinoshita Wu has no experience in this aspect of struggle.

At this moment, Sanako noticed the gaze that Kinoshita Mai was staring at her.

Sanako glanced at Kinoshita Mai calmly...then calmly continued to eat and pick up vegetables.

The lips that silently chewed on the food evoked a faintly teasing arc.

Just when one of the two women was thinking about how to fight back, and the other fearlessly put on the posture of "let the horse come over"——

"Uh...have you eaten...?"

The chief who had been sleeping just now suddenly woke up.

She straightened her upper body like a corpse, and looked around with blank eyes... Finally, her eyes fixed on Qingdeng's body.

"Ah, Tachibana-kun~ You've got sauce on here~~"

After finishing speaking, the grinning chief raised his upper body, leaned to Qingdeng's left side, and licked the smear of sauce on Qingdeng's neck like a cat.
