Chapter 175
"If Jiang Xue and Shuzhu Wan don't go back, is it really okay for the four of you to take these things back?"
At six in the morning, no one was walking around in the crow house, and outside the house, the snow began to fall slowly again.
Inside the room, Qingxi looked at the large and small bags in the hands of the four people and the four large jars of wine at their feet that had not yet been moved by their hands, and she asked hesitantly.
"No problem, no problem," Catfish Tail Toushirou assured, patting his chest. "Don't look at us as short-handed, but we're quite strong. We can still take these away."
"This, I'll give it to you in advance." Xiao Wuhuan took out an envelope from his arms.
Qingxi took it in surprise, and after asking if she could open it now, she opened the envelope and poured the contents into her palm.
They were two thin, hollow gold medals.
"Wow, these are the sword patterns of Kokarasuma and Hakata." Catfish Otoshiro was shocked.
A glint of understanding flashed across Kotobuki Toushirou's eyes, "Hakata has been running to Kokarasuma's house for a while now, maybe it's because of this."
"So cunning." Cattail Tail Toushirou complained.
He felt around on his body with both hands, but he was wearing a battle uniform, which had pockets, but unlike Bao Ding, he didn't put candies or other snacks in his pockets, so he felt around but couldn't find anything.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked forward and hugged the girl while she was stunned, and kissed her cheek lightly with his lips.
Rengoku Kyojuro came to see Qingxi right after finishing his patrol and before going home: "..."
Qingxi was shocked by the boy's bold actions and his pupils dilated: "..."
Others who hadn't expected this to happen were also like this: "..."
Yasaki Hasebe suddenly froze in place: "..."
clang!
The unique cold light of the sword was revealed.
"Ahhh, Hasebe-san, please calm down." Seeing someone draw a sword, Horikawa Kunihiro reacted immediately and rushed forward to grab Hasebe's right hand that had drawn the sword.
Hiding behind his brother, Catfish Tail Toushirou explained, "I don't have any New Year's gifts with me. I have no choice but to use this 'New Year's kiss' to pay off my debt for now. I'll make up for it later."
"Who cares about your 'New Year's kiss', you bastard! You're so rude, Catfish Tail Fujishiro! Go back and I'll arrange for you to be a horse-toting officer for a month, a bara-toting officer for a month, and a long-distance expedition for a month!!!" Yakiri Hasebe roared. "Horikawa, let go of me and let me, Yakiri, this bold pervert."
"I see." Qingxi raised her hand to cover the cheek that had been kissed and said calmly.
However, only she knew that her ten toes in socks were digging into the floor.
"But please don't do this next time. It won't be good if people misunderstand you."
"Huh? What's the misunderstanding?" Cattail Tail Toushirou tilted his head in confusion. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. He said, "Is it because of Mr. Purgatory? He's really stingy."
"If it's your father, then it shouldn't be a big deal." Xiao Wuhuan suddenly came closer and said.
With the girl asking "What are you talking about?", the boy's bright face came closer and closer, and finally he kissed the other half of her face that was not covered.
Qingxi: “????”
"Ashi!"
Qingxi covered her face with her hands and looked at the boy who suddenly appeared and pulled her away from the sword men and isolated them with his body. Her scalp was tingling at this moment, "Xing, Xingjuro."
For some reason, a guilty feeling rose in her heart, as if she was having an affair behind someone's back.
But it's obvious that there's nothing good between me and them.
After Rengoku Kyojuro made sure the girl was alright, he turned around and said righteously, "Even if you're my father, Aki is already a grown-up girl. You can't kiss her like that."
Xiao Wuhuan looked at the young man in front of him who used to help Qingxi maintain the swords when he couldn't maintain them alone. He said, "But I am the master's sword."
Is this not okay?
Rengoku Kyojuro shook his head firmly, "That won't work either."
He had never kissed Ah Xi, so how could he let others touch her?
The eyes of the young man with flame-like hair were filled with possessiveness towards the girl and fear of those who coveted his little girl.
Xiao Wuhuan retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes, "Is that so? Then I hope you can keep it up. Otherwise, even your father wouldn't mind taking action."
For the time being, I'll entrust the master to you. However, if you treat her badly, don't blame him for taking her away.
Rengoku Kyojuro: "Mmm! I will."
The end of the conversation between the two was a disguised indication that he, on behalf of the swordsmen, would no longer trouble him about the relationship issues between him and the Shinsengumi. But at the same time, he also said that if he couldn't do what he promised them, then he would no longer be qualified to stop them from taking any measures next.
Qingxi watched these two people making some kind of py deal right in front of her. She wanted to remind them that she was still there, but before she could say anything, Kokarasuma, Catfish Otoshiro, and Bonebami Toushiro "suppressed" the most unhappy among them, Yasakiri Hasebe, with their eyes and left with the bags of things Qingxi had prepared for them.
Rengoku Kyojuro took Kiyomi's hand and said to Tsurumaru Kuninaga and the other three, as well as Jiang Xue Sawamonji and Suzumaru Tsuneji who were left behind without going back with Kokarasuma and the other four, "Hmm, I'll take Aki with me first and will bring her back before noon."
"Well, the master is still young, don't scare her." Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was the first to react, said this.
What else can he say?
Their little ancestor in Honmaru has already given in, hasn't he?
Watching the two people leaving, thinking of Yasakiri Hasebe who had already left, Yagen Toushirou called Okurigara and prepared to go to the seafood market. It was almost seven o'clock now. To be honest, it was a little late, but since it was something that had been confirmed yesterday, it would be better for them to go and take a look.
After the two left, there were only four people left in the room. Suzumaru Tsuneji went to the dojo, Horikawa Kunihiro and Jiang Xue went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone, and only Tsurumaru Kuninaga was left, carrying a shovel to dig a hole in the snow.
To use his words, the weather is just right today, so it would be a nice thing to do to "go down into the pit and catch birds in the snow".
.
After Qingxi put on the haori that Rengoku Kyojuro had put on her, she was pulled out of the door by him.
With Qingxi, Rengoku Kyojuro did not go anywhere else, but took Qingxi directly back to his home, his own room.
Rengoku Makijuro, who was walking with his wife in the corridor, paused and turned his head to look at his wife.
"Kyojuro looks like that...did he have a fight with Aki?" He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat and changed the subject.
Compared to her husband who can be stubborn sometimes, Rengoku Ruka is more delicate in his thinking.
Her fiery red eyes showed a desire to see how the eldest son of the family interacted with the girl in private. She said slowly, "Rather than saying they were arguing, it's more like Kyojuro seems jealous."
"Jealous?" Rengoku Makijuro was stunned for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal, as if he was not surprised by the answer.
Think about how popular Aki is in Butterfly House. Not counting her own Kyojuro, the two pillar-level figures like Tomioka Giyu and Tokito Muichiro seem to have a good relationship with her.
Even if they knew about Axi's situation.
Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to have let it go after hearing it, Rengoku Ruka glanced at him and threw him a question, saying, "Makijuro, do you know why I know so much?"
"Why?" asked the middle-aged owl, not understanding.
Rengoku Ruka lowered her head and chuckled: "Because, the way Kyojuro just now, Makijuro has also been like that before."
Rengoku Makijuro didn't believe it: "Was I like this before?"
Rengoku Ruka tilted her head slightly and asked, "What do you look like in Anada's memory?"
Faced with this question from his wife, Rengoku Makijuro really thought about it seriously.
After a while, he said confidently: "Hmm, even if I am angry, I will not quarrel with Ruhuo."
Purgatory Ruka: "..."
If I didn't have a good memory, I would have believed it.
Makijuro, have you forgotten that before you got pregnant with Kyojuro, you were jealous a lot.
Thinking of the possessiveness of the men in the Rengoku family towards their wives, Rengoku Ruka felt that whenever she had time in the future, she could take her man to secretly visit Kyojuro and Aki.
They are all "carved" from the same mold. Maybe after seeing Kyojuro like that, Makijuro might be able to remember what he did when he was young.
Qingxi, who didn't know she was being targeted, almost had to jog to keep up with the boy in front of her.
Back in the house, Rengoku Kyojuro turned around and hugged Qingxi in his arms while she was dizzy.
The girl's petite body was passively pressed against the boy and was held by him. Her height of over 180 cm made her look as if she was completely wrapped by the boy.
Qingxi, who was being hugged, pushed gently with her hands, but the strength of the arms holding her became stronger.
"Kyojuro?" Qingxi, who was almost breathless from being hugged, had to give up the option of pushing the person away.
She hesitated for a moment, then raised her arms and put them around his waist. She asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Um, nothing." The boy's voice sounded low in his ears.
But Qingxi managed to hear a little bit of grievance from it???
She thought about it for a while, and finally her girlfriend's emotional intelligence came online. She patted his back gently and said, "Don't worry, Karasuma-kun and the others are just joking with you. I won't follow them to Honmaru to become a Shinsengumi or anything like that."
In itself, from the very beginning, her connection with them was just an accident. Becoming a Shinsengumi was not part of her life plan.
What's more, everyone she knew was here. If she didn't want A Tong to take her home but send her to another world instead, then staying in this era was her best choice.
"It's not your problem, Aki." Listening to the girl's words of comfort, Rengoku Kyojuro shook his head, "It's my problem."
"I want Axi to always look at me, I don't want others to see your beauty, I want to be with Axi forever." Rengoku Kyojuro muttered, "Am I asking for too much?"
Qingxi, who was practically confessed to in person, said: "...It's, it's not that bad."
She also tried to calm herself down and analyze, "Kyojuro, what you want is summarized as follows..."
"I want Aki." Rengoku Kyojuro said loudly.
Qingxi was choked and said, "Very good, young man, you have learned to answer quickly."
"Aki, are you willing?" Rengoku Kyojuro asked, lowering his head as he slightly loosened his arms around Kiyoki.
Qingxi blinked.
Hey! Why did the topic get off track while we were talking???
No, I should say, hasn't this matter been discussed before? Can we wait until she turns 18 before discussing it?
Why are you bringing it up again, Kyojuro?
No, I should ask, who did you learn this method of taking advantage of every opportunity from?
After my test, you have already passed the test.
It is hard to find a good man in this world, and it is even harder to find a good man who is devoted to her. Look at Rengoku Kyojuro's youthful face, which is between a boy and a young man, and think about how good he is to her on a daily basis... Well, since he doesn't mind, then she will take this owl.
Thinking of this, Qingxi responded to his pursuit directly. "Okay."
Rengoku Kyojuro was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have just reacted, with the corners of his mouth constantly rising up, and his chest trembling as a hearty laugh rang out.
"Ashi, let's get married when you turn eighteen."
Qingxi glared. What about the agreement that we would try dating after we turned 18?
I agreed, but Kyojuro, aren't you fast-forwarding a bit too much???
