Chapter 068
In the following period of time, when Hinazuru and the other two came to borrow the kitchen, Qingxi would let them use it.
Except for the initial awkwardness on the first day, they got along pretty well afterwards.
However, there are exceptions.
For example, Jiro and Suma.
Normally Jiro is indifferent to others, but when he sees Suma, he is like a cat seeing a mouse or a dog seeing a bone.
She seriously suspected that on Jiro's blacklist, Kaburamaru had fallen from the number one enemy to the number two enemy, and the number one enemy had already been taken by Suma.
“Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey!!!!!!”
"There's going to be a fireworks display in town tomorrow night. I really want to go, but Master Tianyuan is still recovering from his illness."
Seeing Suma chattering non-stop even while eating, Qingxi ate the tempura Muxu had just fried and asked puzzledly, "Don't you already know about the existence of ghosts? Why did you want to go out after dark, Sister Suma? Aren't you afraid of being spotted by ghosts?"
Suma blinked her eyes, the same color as Qingxi's, and after a while she said, "As for this question—" She dragged out the words, "Because we used to go out to see with Master Tianyuan, so even if we encounter a ghost, it's no problem. Master Tianyuan is very powerful."
Okay, she got it, another character of Suma - Uzui Tengen, a brainless fan.
"Aki, are you going out to watch the fireworks tomorrow?" Suma asked.
Every year from July to August, in places that are not particularly poor or small towns, the local managers will organize people to hold a fireworks display. On the day of the fireworks display, the streets are crowded at night, and there are also many vendors on both sides of the street. It is an activity that ordinary people in this era like.
In Suma's opinion, a child like Kiyoki would be the least able to resist such temptation.
Qingxi shook his head: "I'm not going."
"Why?" Suma was puzzled.
Now it was Qingxi's turn to be confused, "What if I encounter a ghost?"
Why would she go out at night knowing that there is a chance of encountering ghosts?
"But how could it be such a coincidence that you would be targeted by a ghost?" Suma said.
Compared with humans, ghosts are still a minority. What's more, to put it bluntly, there will definitely be a lot of people watching the fireworks in the town tomorrow night. With so many people there, even if there are ghosts, the possibility of her being targeted is very small.
That’s because once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years!
Qingxi said silently in his heart.
After I briefly told them about how last year on New Year's Eve, they were targeted by ghosts when they went out in broad daylight, and the three of them expressed their understanding.
"You have such bad luck." Mu Xu said sympathetically.
"I think so too." Qingxi took another piece of eggplant from the plate and said, "Because both of my arms were broken, I didn't have a good New Year.
The most important thing is that it is not convenient at all. You have to ask others for help when eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
That was a terrible feeling.”
Hinazuru was surprised, "Mr. Yaken, Mr. Tsurumaru, aren't they your subordinates?"
If you feel embarrassed to ask others for help, you shouldn't feel embarrassed if you ask your subordinates to help you.
"No, they were both killed by accident." Qingxi explained vaguely, "Anyway, if someone comes looking for them later, they will leave."
Hinazuru couldn't understand, but seeing that the girl didn't seem to want to talk, she considerately didn't ask any further questions.
"The yudofu is ready. Would you like a bowl?" asked Hinazuru.
"want!"
The loving lunch prepared by his wife always has to be delicious. With this in mind, Qingxi decisively chose the latter between going to the clinic for lunch and having a meal here.
Summer is not a good time to have an appetite, so she is full with a few pieces of tempura, a bowl of soup tofu, and a cucumber.
Qingxi thought that the fireworks display was over, but she didn't expect to be asked a question by Kocho Kanae when she returned to the dormitory. She was asked the same question again when she met Harada Shinnosuke in the backyard of the clinic. After that, even Koharu Aya, Riko and the others were talking about the fireworks display. In the end, it seemed as if she, who didn't want to go out tomorrow, was the only one who was an outlier.
"If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. Why make such a fuss?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga said without any image while lying on the floor of the outer corridor.
"Are you worried about encountering a ghost?" Yagen Toushirou expressed his guess.
"If this is the only problem, then it won't be easy to solve." Tsurumaru Kuninaga leaned sideways, resting his elbows on the floor and supporting his head with his hands. "Tomorrow, Yaoyan and I can go with you, Master.
Although our own bodies can't kill the dead, Ubuyashiki Kōya also gave us a pair of Nichirin swords. Yakuken and I will just carry them tomorrow."
Qingxi originally thought of not going out, so as to avoid encountering a ghost or something like that while playing.
But one by one, everyone mentioned this matter to her, shaking her thoughts and making her look extremely conflicted.
Under the night sky, Yagen Toushirou looked at the girl's wavering expression. He gave her a final push and said, "If the ghosts here aren't dealt with in one day, will you, General, not go out to watch the fireworks display every year?"
Qingxi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
It's impossible for her to skip the daily fireworks display just because the ghost hasn't been dealt with, right? That would be a shame for her. "Then tomorrow... shall we go watch it together?"
"That's right." Tsurumaru Kuninaga showed a bright smile on his face, saying "good girl, good girl" while rubbing her head with his hand.
When the girl's face was about to explode because he had messed up her hair, he withdrew his hand, rubbed it a few times, and stood up. "Ah, wait a moment."
After saying this, Tsurumaru Kuninaga jumped and disappeared into his resting room. When he came back, there was a long flat paper box in his arms.
"Master, master, you should wear this suit tomorrow." Tsurumaru Kuninaga said with a smile after opening the box and revealing the kimono inside.
Qingxi had already guessed this when he came out with the paper box, so she was not surprised at all when she saw him open it and see the kimono inside.
"Tsurumaru, you guys have planned this a long time ago, right?" She said, turning to look at Yagen Toushirou who was sitting under the eaves.
The black-haired boy adjusted his glasses and pretended not to see.
"This is the first fireworks display we've encountered in Meiji! It's not my style not to join in the fun," Tsurumaru Kuninaga said confidently.
Tsurumaru handed the box in his hand towards Qingxi again, but he didn't expect to read the meaning of "I'm sorry, I can't accept" in her eyes.
He tilted his head and thought about it, then understood.
"Master, do you have PTSD from wearing a kimono at certain times?" Tsurumaru Kuninaga patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'll protect you. So wear this yukata tomorrow. It has a red camellia pattern, it's very pretty."
"Alright, alright, I get it." He took the box containing the yukata with one hand and pushed the white brain that was inching closer with the other. "Also, I've already told you, as a grown-up, don't act like a child and act like a spoiled brat in front of me. Do you think your clapping sounds nice? It's so sticky, it's giving me goosebumps.
No matter how I think about it, the Pharmaceutical Research Institute should be more suitable than you in terms of acting like a spoiled child. I don’t know how you two discussed it.”
"General, do you want to see me act coquettishly to you?" Listening to the girl's complaints, Yagen Toushirou suddenly spoke.
Qingxi, who was in a tug-of-war with Tsurumaru Kuninaga, was stunned. The strength he put on Tsurumaru Kuninaga's face also weakened. Tsurumaru Kuninaga didn't react at all and hit his head again...
Qingxi hugged his chest with his hands and cried out in pain.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was so frightened that he rolled over and sat up on the spot.
Seeing the girl shrinking like a shrimp, the white-haired young man seemed at a loss.
Yagen Toushirou, who was sitting in the corridor, stood up when the girl cried out in pain.
Perhaps he did not expect that an accident would happen while he was enjoying the cool air at night.
"General, are you okay?" He supported her, his eyes fixed on her chest, "Where did Tsurumaru hit you and hurt you?"
Qingxi gasped twice, and after a while she began to hum. But the sound was so soft that even Yagen Toushirou, who was sitting closest to her, couldn't hear it clearly.
So he asked again, "General, where does it hurt?"
"My chest hurts." Qingxi, who was repeatedly asked where it hurt, finally said it again, and her voice was audible to both of them.
But in this way, the two men, one older and one younger, would be embarrassed.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga was the first to react. He said weakly, "I only take half the blame."
As he said this, he looked in the direction of Yagen Toushirou. The meaning was too obvious. If it weren't for you, Yagen, taking over, there would be nothing for me to do next.
Yagen Toushirou ignored Tsurumaru Kuninaga as he was considering the possibility of asking Kiyokis to show him where he was hit.
No, forget it. You’ll definitely get beaten.
Fortunately, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was really hurt by the collision, but it got better after a while.
Qingxi took a long breath and was the first to break the awkwardness. "I'm fine."
"I think so," Tsurumaru Kuninaga said. "It's flat over there, and it looks like it hasn't developed yet... It shouldn't be damaged..."
Qingxi rubbed her chest and almost rolled her eyes at him, saying, "What's wrong with you, Tsurumaru? You seem to know so much... Also, how do you know I haven't developed yet? Maybe I was already developing, but you bumped into me and it stopped... From now on, if I have a flat chest, it will definitely be your fault."
Tsurumaru Kuninaga's golden eyes widened, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he slapped his thigh, "I know, Master, you will definitely be a flat-chested girl when you grow up. So now that you know what you will look like when you grow up, you are putting the blame on me, right??!!!"

"No, you're overthinking it."
Whether in the original world or the gourmet world, her breasts could not be called big, but they were around C cup, Qingxi denied it without any hesitation.
"No, no, no, it must be what Tsuru thinks." Tsurumaru Kuninaga vowed.
"Asshole, I have a C cup!" Qingxi, who couldn't bear it any longer, kicked him, "Don't curse me!!!"
Yagen Toushirou: "..."Okay, tonight's cool-down activity ended with Tsurumaru Kuninaga angering the general.
