I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 767: Ju Jun must get married! [4500]

"In that case, when do you plan to go to Osaka?"

Qing Deng thought for a moment and answered:
"Let's set it for 10 days."

Boss Kiryu nodded slightly:

"10 days... Then you should use these 10 days to think carefully about how to respond to the lord's 'question'."

When he mentioned the word "blame", he emphasized it.

When Qing Deng heard this, he felt like a deflated ball, with a bitter look on his face.

"I will work hard..."

"So, you are still determined to marry three wives?"

"On this point alone, I will not make any concessions."

Qing Deng answered without hesitation.

"You are really stubborn in some strange ways..."

Boss Kiryu spread his hands and asked:
"So how far have you and the young master progressed?"

"Isn't it about time you got married?"

"If you don't get married and have children, your subordinates will be dissatisfied."

Qing Deng muttered half-jokingly:
"How come even you are urging me to get married..."

After mumbling, he thought for a moment:

"I have sought their opinions indirectly."

"In short... they are all happy to get married."

"There's no gap between them."

"Although on weekdays, Sanako and Ama always bicker, as if they are not on good terms."

"But I can see that there is no deep hatred between them."

"In fact, they have a very good relationship."

"It's just... they still can't adapt to the concept of 'three legal wives' that I proposed."

"It's nothing, actually."

"It's just that they instinctively resist this idea because it goes against common sense."

"As long as they can get over this hurdle, things will go smoothly from now on."

After listening to this quietly, Mr. Kiryu couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"If you hadn't insisted on having three wives, you could have enjoyed the happiness of having three wives long ago."

Qing Deng smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Boss Kiryu continued:
"In other words... the key to breaking the current deadlock lies in whether the young master and the others can get over the hurdle of 'everyone is the principal wife', right?"

Qingdeng nodded:

"Well, you could say that."

Boss Kiryu raised his hand and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose - the lenses reflected a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Then... in my opinion, the person who will break the impasse will probably be Miss Chiba."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Boss Kiryu straightened his back slightly, with a confident smile on his face, looking calm and composed, like a military advisor answering questions for his lord.

"Ms. Okita is a very gentle girl."

"'Gentleness' is beautiful."

"But the problem is—she's too gentle."

"Compared with personal honor and disgrace, she cares more about the gains and losses of the group."

"Even if I've been wronged, I'll never make it public."

"Therefore, she probably thinks that the current situation of 'no one getting married' is pretty good, and lacks the motivation to 'change the status quo'."

"As for the young master, let alone him."

"'Lack of aggression' is an old problem of the young master."

"Due to his own personality, the young master does not like to argue."

"When she encounters a dispute, she will always subconsciously choose to give in unless it is a matter of principle."

"On the other hand, Ms. Qianye doesn't have these messy problems."

"Although Ms. Chiba is an elegant and gentle Nadeshiko, she can be quite fierce at times."

"Besides, her true personality is even less calm than she appears."

"Once she gets excited, she's prone to doing things that are not her normal style."

"In short, you can have high hopes for Miss Chiba."

"You never know, she might give you a 'big surprise' one day."

Qing Deng was stunned when he heard this.

It was not until a long while later that he came to his senses and said with admiration:

"Boss Kiryu, you are amazing... You got it all right."

Boss Kiryu knows Mai Kinoshita and Souji very well, so Qing Deng doesn't find it strange.

Needless to say, Mai Kinoshita.

Senjiya and Shiweikan have a very good relationship, so it is normal that Kiryu-sama knows Souji very well.

But Sanako...Boss Kiryu has no connection with her.

As far as Qing Deng knew, the two of them had only exchanged a few words.

What Mr. Kiryu said just now was indeed amazing.

The grasp of the personality traits of the three women is extremely accurate.

Boss Kiryu smiled and pointed at his gray hair.

"I'm not this old for nothing."

"I have lived for so long, experienced so many things, and met so many people."

"Unconsciously, I have developed the ability to see, recognize and identify people."

"Of course... I sometimes make mistakes."

After saying this, Mr. Kiryu pondered to himself, as if some old memories were brought back to him.

While Boss Kiryu was pondering, Qing Deng savored the witty words that the other party had just said.

I have to say that what Mr. Kiryu said is absolutely right.

Now, Qing Deng has done everything he could.

All that remains is to wait for the three girls to achieve their own "enlightenment" on the ideological level, and no longer stick to the secular prejudice of "three principal wives, unprecedented".

It is not realistic to expect Mai Kinoshita and Souji, who have weak personalities, to break free from this "shackles".

There must be a strong man who acts decisively and boldly to help them.

And this "strong man"...it's really only right for Sanako to be the one.

At this moment, Qing Deng suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

After a moment, he asked quietly:
"Boss Kiryu, can I ask you a very presumptuous question?"

"Why are you so secretive? If you have any questions, just ask."

Since the other party said so, Qing Deng no longer hesitated:

"Boss Kiryu, do you... have a wife and children?"

This problem has troubled him for a long time.

He is nearly a hundred years old... At his age, he should have many children and grandchildren.

However, up to now, Qing Deng has never met Boss Kiryu's relatives.

This kind of question was very sensitive - perhaps it was because something happened to Mr. Kiryu's relatives, so they did not show up - so Qing Deng was embarrassed to ask.

Just now the topic of marriage happened to be brought up, and taking advantage of this perfect opportunity to ask, Qing Deng plucked up his courage and raised this question that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time.

Faced with such a personal question, Mr. Kiryu did not hesitate at all and answered calmly:
"I have never been married, so I don't have a wife or children."

Qing Deng was shocked after hearing this.

I'm sure anyone who hears this will be surprised.

After all, Boss Kiryu is very handsome.

Especially his elegant temperament, which is very attractive to women who like this kind of thing.

Plus, he's kind of a "Doraemon-type" all-around man.

Cooking, pasting windows, repairing furniture, killing termites... he can do everything and is an expert in everything.

How many women can refuse such a good man?
Even though he is already quite old, he still exudes fatal charm.

Every time Qing Deng went to Senjiwu, he would always see middle-aged ladies and grandmas coming from nowhere chatting with Mr. Kiryu.

Facing Qing Deng's suspicious look, Boss Kiryu smiled:
"I am not interested in women and have no interest in sex." "When I was young, I was obsessed with swordsmanship and wanted to challenge strong enemies and hone my sword skills."

"After becoming a member of the Gourd House, I was busy all day long. There was always something to do every day. I wished I could borrow the cat's paw to use. I had no time to fall in love or get married."

“When I came to my senses, my hair had turned grey.”

"But... then again, when I was young, my friends all thought that I would become a couple with the lord."

Suddenly, Qing Deng's eyebrows raised sharply.

For a moment, he thought he had heard it wrong.

(My friends around me all thought that I would become a couple with the lord)... He felt as if he had heard some incredible gossip!

Driven by curiosity, Qing Deng subconsciously leaned forward, so close that his face was almost touching the other person's.

With such a look, it seems as if the words "Tell me quickly! I want to hear the follow-up!" are written all over his face.

When Mr. Kiryu saw this, he looked helpless but did not resist.

After thinking for a moment, he continued:
"My lord and I are old acquaintances."

“I’ve been following her around since she was a teenager.”

"Roughly speaking, she and I have been friends for nearly eighty years."

"At that time, I was homeless and looked like a stray dog ​​on the roadside."

“She gave me a place to stay.”

"To be honest, my lord, she is quite annoying sometimes."

"For various reasons, she has an extremely high self-esteem, which often causes her to say harsh words or behave in inexplicable ways."

"Fortunately, these shortcomings of hers have been gradually corrected as she gained more experience."

"But until she corrects these faults, she will be a very difficult person to deal with."

"We often quarrel over trivial matters."

"But somehow I never thought about leaving her."

"She and I spent eighty years together in this muddled way."

"Do I have any romantic feelings for her?"

"To be honest, I don't really know myself."

"But one thing is certain - our feelings have gone beyond ordinary friendship, family affection and love."

"Friends, family, lovers... these common words are not enough to describe the relationship between me and my lord."

"To me, it doesn't matter who my lord is to me."

"As long as I can continue to be by her side, it will be enough."

"She is like the other half of me. Not only is she very important, but she is also inseparable."

Qingden listened carefully.

After Mr. Kiryu finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about this old lady whom he had never met before.

——What kind of person is it that could make Mr. Kiryu have such deep feelings for her?
At this moment, Mr. Kiryu paused suddenly.

When he spoke again, his tone suddenly changed to a deep one:
"It is precisely because I have a special feeling for my lord... that is why when she called me over a few days ago and scolded me harshly, I really wanted to cry but had no tears..."

"I am so sorry!"

Qing Deng quickly bent down, lowered his head, bowed, and apologized.

The movements are smooth and smooth, done in one go.

……

……

A few days later——

Kyoto, Mibu-go, Shinsengumi garrison, somewhere -

Sanako: “…”

Kinoshita Mai: “…”

The two girls who met in the corridor just stared at each other.

Both sides looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

Sanako was the first to break the silence:

"……Good morning."

Kinoshita Mai stammered in response:
"Morning, good morning..."

Sanako: “…”

Kinoshita Mai: “…”

Silence again...

Fortunately, Sanako quickly spoke again:

"Where are you going?"

Kinoshita Mai seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and she spoke quickly:
"I'm going to report to Mr. Hijikata on the status of the 9th Division."

Sanako nodded slightly when she heard this:
"That's a coincidence. I also happen to have something to report to Hijikata-kun."

Hijikata Toshizo, who served as the deputy captain, was in charge of military affairs, so he had the closest contact with the captains on a daily basis.

Sanako looked at Mai Kinoshita deeply, then turned and left.

When her figure was about to disappear in the shadow of the corridor corner, she said to Kinoshita Mai who was still standing there stupidly without turning her head:
"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you going to meet Mr. Hijikata too?"

Mai Kinoshita was stunned for a moment, then belatedly took a step forward, hurriedly catching up with Sanako and walking side by side with her.

Sanako: “…”

Kinoshita Mai: “…”

There was no other sound except the crisp sound of footsteps...

An indescribable awkward atmosphere lingered between them.

The strange relationship between them made them unsure of how to face each other in private.

The road leading to Hijikata Toshizo's office seemed to have been extended several times.

Fortunately, at this moment, a reassuring voice suddenly sounded behind them:

"Eh? Miss Mai? Miss Sanako? This combination is really rare."

Souji greeted them warmly while quickening his pace to appear in front of the two girls.

Looking at Souji who suddenly appeared, Kinoshita Mai showed a look of surprise:

"Soji, why are you here?"

"I need to talk to Mr. Hijikata about something."

Sanako burst out laughing:
"What a coincidence. We have the same destination, and we also have business to see Hijikata-kun."

"Huh? Is that so? That's great! We happen to be going the same way!"

With the addition of the general manager, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed.

It is like the bright sunshine shining into the foggy forest, dispersing the fog and illuminating the sky and the earth.

Souji walked naturally and generously between Sanako and Mai Kinoshita, separating the two.

Sometimes she talked to Sanako about the interesting things that happened during training, and sometimes she shared with Mai Kinoshita the treasure dessert shop she recently discovered.

Souji, who seems to be the incarnation of a "succubus", has a good relationship with everyone - even Sanako and Mai Kinoshita, who are her "rivals in love", are no exception.

For a long time, Souji has been playing the role of "lubricant" in this awkward little group of theirs.

Without Souji, Sanako and Mai Kinoshita would find it difficult to establish normal communication.

Now, with Souji as a "transit station", Sanako and Mai Kinoshita can finally have a chat.

After a while, the door of Hijikata Toshizo's office came into their sight.

Just as Souji raised his hand and prepared to knock on the door—

"Kondo-kun, Hijikata-kun, I still insist on my opinion - even if I have to force him, I want Tachibana-kun to get married as soon as possible!"

This is the voice of Yamanami Keisuke.

As soon as these words came out, Souji's raised hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

The next moment, the three women, as if they had agreed in advance, all leaned over and put their ears to the door, holding their breath and concentrating, trying to listen to what was happening behind the door.

"Shannan-kun, I understand how you feel. But marriage can't be rushed."

This is Kondo Isami's voice.

"Asheng, on this point, I want to vote for Shannan. Now is not the time to 'let Ju slowly find a wife', now is the time to 'we need Ju to have at least one wife'."

Hijikata Toshizo's voice interrupted.
