Chapter 148

What does it feel like to wake up and realize that everyone in the world knows you're having your period?

Others don't know, but Qingxi knows clearly that she wants to find a time machine. She wants to go back to two days ago. If she hadn't had the sudden idea of ​​taking Sayo Sawamonji out to ride on Jiro and feel the feeling of being carried in the sky, then the first time she had her period the next day wouldn't have made her feel as embarrassed as she does now.

Time goes back ten minutes.

The first day of her first period was so uncomfortable that she lay in bed all day without eating anything. The next day, she still had no appetite and ate two mouthfuls of the white porridge placed in front of her.

She didn't dare touch other dishes.

It's not fashionable to waste food nowadays, and she doesn't have anyone willing to help her eat the leftovers, so stop wasting time.

"Aki, is this enough for you to eat only?" Rengoku Kyojuro frowned and asked as he looked at the untouched side dishes in front of the girl and the half-eaten bowl of white porridge.

Qingxi said weakly, "That's enough. I don't want to eat anymore. I have no energy. I feel like I'm floating in the sky."

"Is your stomach upset again?"

"It's okay, but it's a little heavy and makes people feel uncomfortable."

After the most embarrassing moment yesterday, she felt that when she faced Rengoku Kyojuro again today, her face had reached the sky and she could communicate with him normally as usual.

"Where's Xiaoye?" she asked. "What is he doing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, as if to tell her, there was a sound of jogging footsteps in the corridor. Soon, a blue-haired boy came over with a lot of gift boxes in his arms.

"What are these?" Qingxi's eyes fell on the gift boxes in Sayo Sawamonji's arms. While she was curious, a bad premonition suddenly came over her.

Suddenly, she didn't want to know what they were anymore.

However, before she could say anything, Sayo Sawamonji's voice rang out, "Congratulations."

"Huh?" Her mouth moved faster than her brain. She was stunned for half a second before she understood what the other person was saying.

"What, what gift?" Her voice trembled, her face full of rejection, and she even cracked her voice because she was too excited.

However, Sayo Sawamonji's next words shattered her fantasy. He took out a greeting card and handed it to her: "This is a gift to congratulate the master on growing up."

Qingxi: “…”

Qingxi's face twisted, and she struggled to ask, "Who is here?"

The murderous aura emanating from the girl was so strong that even Sayo Sawamonji, who was being questioned, was momentarily stunned.

"Aki, calm down." Rengoku Kyojuro's instinct for a major crisis kicked in. He crawled a few steps on his knees to get closer to the girl and held her in his arms with both hands to prevent her from going berserk due to excessive excitement.

He didn't know whether she would pick up a knife and go out to chop the person who gave her the "coming-of-age gift", but he knew that she was still not feeling well and needed to rest well.

Smelling the faint smell of blood coming from the girl's body, which was only faintly noticeable because they were too close, Rengoku Kyojuro froze while holding the girl.

He could smell this kind of smell almost every few days, and this smell was often accompanied by death, corpses, and despair... However, this time was different, as it represented the sign that the girl was slowly transforming into a mature woman.

No matter what Rengoku Kyojuro was thinking, Qingxi was still struggling, trying to "silence the witness" and "destroy the body".

Perhaps because he had never seen a Shinsengumi as ferocious as his own, Sayo Sawamonji was extremely scared, but he still couldn't help but take a step back.

He hesitated for a moment, then said obediently, "Madam Tianyin was the first to send the gift. However, Master, you were resting yesterday and Miss Kanae didn't want us to disturb you, so we kept it for now. Later, the other pillars also sent their gifts one after another."

Qingxi's movements were stiff, and the word "despair" was written all over his body.

She stopped struggling and pulled the quilt over her head.

"Um, Aki, it's okay. Everyone just cares about you." Seeing the girl who had covered her head with a quilt and came to purgatory again when she encountered something she didn't want to face in the past two days, Kyojuro finally came back to his thoughts and comforted her.

"This kind of concern is just a matter of showing it in your heart." Qingxi roared from under the quilt. "You don't even have to send a gift. Look, I'm saving them a lot of money!!!"

"Master, there is something wrong with what you said."

There was another sound of footsteps in the corridor, one of which seemed particularly "lively".

From a distance, a girl's roar of shame and anger could be heard coming from inside the house. Tsurumaru Kuninaga's white head poked in from outside the shoji door, and he started asking for a beating.

"They were all bought with money, so it would be a waste if I didn't accept them."

Qingxi pulled down the quilt covering her head, her eyes widening: "You, why are you all here?"

Sayo Sahimichi walked over to her brother and tugged on one of his sleeves. Souza Sahimichi looked at the girl in the boy's arms, her black hair flying like a frightened kitten, and murmured in a melancholy voice, "What? Don't you want us to come visit you?"

Qingxi: “…” She did have this idea.

The girl and the pink-haired young man looked at each other, one was sickly and arrogant, the other was sickly and delicate, neither of them wanted to speak first, as if whoever spoke first would be a coward.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga's golden pupils moved back and forth between the two people, one big and one small. Suddenly, he raised his hands and clapped them together, focusing all the attention on himself.

Following up on the girl's question, he laughed and said, "Well, we came here as soon as we received the news yesterday, but you slept all day yesterday, so we didn't come to disturb you."

"Oh, yes, there's this." As if remembering something, he handed her a massive photo album he'd been tucked under his arm. "Because you've been feeling unwell, we sent Izumi-no-machi back to ask the 'mothers' in Honmaru what the girls should eat when they come. They copied down the recipes and are also giving you something we've prepared for you."

Qingxi subconsciously reached out to take the thing that Tsurumaru Kuninaga handed to her. It was a very thick photo album.

However, after hearing what he said, she felt that it would be better for her to be deaf.

"You let... Izumi-no-mori?" She murmured softly, as if to herself or asking the other person.

Rengoku Kyojuro, who didn't understand what Qingxi meant, helped her put the photo album that looked particularly heavy aside, and then continued to sit in the back, quietly serving as his armchair.

"Um... Quan is three years old? Childish?"

The girl continued to mutter, but as soon as she finished her words, she was petrified.

"Huh? What do you mean Izumi is three years old? What a childish thing?" Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada was upset when he was called like that, but before he could go and confront the girl, he was stopped by his assistant Horikawa Kunihiro.

"Well, Kane-san, come over here with me and I'll explain it to you." Horikawa Kunihiro was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as he held one of Izumi-no-kami Kanesada's arms and walked aside.

After they walked away, he explained, "Although it may be very discouraging to say this, according to the current time, Jiansang, you are not as old as the master.

You should have heard about the master's situation from Higekiri-dono when she returned. She is older than you."

Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada's throat choked. "That guy Higekiri didn't explain the situation here clearly after he went back. He spoke like a novel, reading the first picture and then jumping to the tenth chapter, omitting the whole process. How can I know that what he said was true, even if he was just making it up?"

Who is Kunihiro Horikawa?

It's the "worm" in the stomach of Izumi-no-kami Kanesada. Looking at his appearance, it's impossible to guess what he really thinks.

"Kane-san knows, right?" It wasn't a question but a statement, "So congratulations, Kane-san. Even though Honmaru has a 'sister,' Kane-san is still the youngest 'brother.'"

So, because of this, the master will call you Quan San Sui, a childish kid.

However, Master, she doesn't mean to dislike you, it's a term of endearment, the kind of term two people give each other when they get along well."

As for whether it was because I accidentally mentioned some of Jiansang’s dark history when we were chatting together, don’t take it to heart.

Because, no matter what Jiansang does, I am still his assistant.

"But even if it's a nickname, it should at least be a bit majestic and domineering, like the one just now, that kind..." Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada accepted Horikawa Kunihiro's suggestion, but he couldn't accept the nickname at all. After searching for a long time without finding a suitable idiom, he threw his sleeves and said, "Ah! Forget it this time. Next time I must have a good chat with her."

"Yes, Master is very easy to talk to. She's been in a bad mood lately. Once these few days are over, Jian-sang, you can talk to Master about your nickname again and she will definitely change it for you."

On this side, Izumi-no-kami Kanesada was dealt with by Horikawa Kunihiro, but on the other side, no one could appease the people in the room.

"It's over." Qingxi grabbed the large sleeves of Tsurumaru Kuninaga's kimono who was squatting in front of her. Her face was dark and her voice was trembling as she said to him, "Tsurumaru, tell me! Ichi-Imponmaru's swordsmanship, will they all, all know that I..." She took a deep breath, and felt the pain in her lower abdomen again. She let out the air she had just taken in, "Do they know that I'm having my period?"

Tsurumaru Kuninaga's face was blank for a moment when he saw the girl's expression of shame that made her almost cry, but he immediately understood what she wanted to express.

After returning, Izumi-no-Kami Kanesada went to the male mothers in Honmaru privately to ask about girls' dysmenorrhea, and the whole Honmaru knew about it.

In fact, she had a good idea.

Izumi-no-kami Kanesada was not a thoughtful person, and when someone who was supposed to be on an expedition suddenly came back, everyone in Honmaru would definitely surround him and ask him all sorts of questions after they found out.

As long as someone asks him, that silly guy will tell what happened here.

So, to sum up, the fact that the Shinsengumi had his first visit had definitely spread throughout the Honmaru to all the swordsmen except Kitsunesuke.

Qingxi, who had been paying attention to the expression on Tsurumaru Kuninaga's face, suddenly lost his expression and said coldly, "Tsurumaru, hurry up, all of you leave."

As long as you leave, and we never see each other again until we die, I will pretend that such a dark thing in my life has never happened.

The words "I'm going to give up" were clearly written on the girl's face. Tsurumaru Kuninaga's face fell and he moved his handsome face closer to the girl. But before the girl's eyes met his again, she was pulled back by the people behind her, keeping a distance from him.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga looked up, and Rengoku Kyojuro's golden-red eyes opened wide and looked back at him calmly.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga: "..."

Emmmm, we haven't even started dating yet, where does your possessiveness come from? ! !

Tsurumaru Kuninaga was so angry that he should have isolated this guy when he discovered his potential a few years ago instead of just sitting aside and watching the show.

The white-haired young man cursed in his heart, but he said to Qingxi: "Master, believe me, no one in Honmaru knows that you are having your period."

Resisting the urge to kick him in the face, Qingxi glared, "Are you kidding me or a ghost?"

People like you are the ones who make things more obvious when they try to cover it up.

"Ahhh, I don't care." Tsurumaru Kuninaga lay flat on the tatami, ignoring the people around him throwing a tantrum. "I'm definitely not leaving, Master. You're the one who has taken my true body, so you have to be responsible for me. If you live, I'm your sword. If you die, the worst that can happen is that I'll return to my true body and be buried with you. Anyway, that's it."

Qingxi: "...There's a madman here, two people, come and drag him out!!!"
