Honmaru.

More than twenty sword masters were already seated in the dining room, but the main seat was empty.

Mitsutada Chodai has been cooking Chinese dishes these days. His skills have become more and more mature, and the food on the table has become more exquisite and colorful.

The only drawback, however, is that they are all cold.

Forty minutes. The Tsukumogami had been waiting here for nearly forty minutes. According to the two meal times today, the new Shinsengumi should also arrive at Honmaru on time for dinner.

But it was already past dinner time, and there was no sign of the Shinsengumi at all, so all the Tsukumogami looked unhappy.

The bad look on his face is not because he has waited too long and the food has gotten cold, but because he feels unhappy because he is not cared about or completely ignored.

It was as if these sword-fighting gods were forgotten at will and dispensable; just as during the two meals during the day the Shinsengumi only ate and never spoke much, completely ignoring them, and now they don't come at all.

If it were in the beginning in the past, some of the fallen Tsukumogami would probably be happy to see this state where Shinsengumi and swords had nothing to do with each other.

However, over the past few days, whenever they faced that man, they had some subtle thoughts in their hearts, especially when they saw him kissing his brothers and colleagues. The scene was both erotic and bewitching, and they thought that maybe they would be the next one.

Is it shyness or nervousness? Is it self-loathing? Or is it longing for fantasy...

These complex emotions intertwined in their hearts, coupled with the spiritual power of the Shinsengumi flowing through their bodies, formed an inseparable soul connection, so that at this moment, it was difficult for them to completely not care.

They should have been cold weapons, but since they had warm bodies, they became human beings. It is absolutely impossible for a human being to be so cold.

Do you think everyone is the same as the new Shinsengumi?

Therefore, the emotions that the Fusangshen had accumulated today had a small outburst tonight.

As the head chef, Mitsutada Chokudaikiri couldn't help but murmur to himself as he looked at the dazzling array of dishes in front of him that he had made himself.

"Is the Shinsengumi delayed by something today? Or is he doing something special and not coming? Has anyone received instructions from the Shinsengumi?"

Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

The meaning was very clear. No one received any notification or instructions from the new Shinsengumi. No one even spoke to the new Shinsengumi today.

Hakata Toushirou noticed that his own Anijia was in a low mood for a moment, and immediately slapped the table and said angrily:

"What? You didn't come to eat without telling me, how annoying!!"

He is a straightforward person, and although he is a little afraid of the new Shinsengumi, that doesn't stop him from complaining, and he even subconsciously uses his own speaking habits.

"Hehe... maybe our playboy Shinsengumi is in the real world and is having a romantic candlelight dinner with others~"

Tsurumaru Kuninaga interrupted with a chuckle, his voice not very loud but guaranteed to be heard by everyone in the room.

He still had his habitual smile on his face, but there was no smile in his golden pupils. Instead, the curve at the corners of his lips showed sarcasm and ridicule.

Although the joking words were spoken in his normal tone, his voice was devoid of any emotion and was so cold that it didn't sound like he was joking.

Everyone's heart sank suddenly.

If Tsurumaru Kuninaga could think of this, they could naturally think of it as well. The new Shinsengumi even said in person that he spent most of his time in the real world.

So it's natural to guess that he was eating out, but having dinner with someone is too broad and inexplicably unconvincing.

After all, with the new Shinsengumi's appearance, he would probably have many suitors, and he might even have a lover outside...

The new Shinsengumi is invincible just by her beauty.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed even more depressing and solemn.

Xiao Hu Wan felt like his hair was about to explode, and he stroked a strand of white hair on his chest uncomfortably.

As sword masters, they have no reason to interfere in the affairs of the Shinsengumi in the world.

However, whenever they thought about the fact that this was a place they could not go to or see, where they had no way of knowing what the Shinsengumi said or did to others, they felt a lump in their throat.

At this point, the Tsukumogami had to admit that they really cared about the new Shinsengumi, the Shinsengumi who used his spiritual power to heal Honmaru and them from the Darkness.

But now, they are waiting here, as if they were abandoned...

"Brother Ichiki, do we have to keep waiting?" Randoshiro said to Ichiki Ichijin. It was already very late.

The azure-haired Tsukumogami remained silent. Ever since he was purified and became a valet yesterday, he has been in a bad mood.

I want to get closer, I want to get closer, but I don’t know how to get closer. When I get close, I’m greedy and at a loss as to what to do.

So he has been out of shape recently, and the evil spirit in his heart is growing more and more day by day.

Others were no better.

Rantoshiro didn't receive a reply, and looked at the other people who were also silent, and they also shut up. At this time, they, the short swords, obviously couldn't get a word in.

Genji's treasured Higekiri straightened the white uniform draped over his shoulders and continued to speak. He also stood up and looked at Kagemaru beside him.

"Rice Pill, let's go back."

"But..." For the first time, Hibamaru did not refute his brother's address to him, and wanted to say something.

Higekiri curled his lips and suddenly smiled at his younger brother Maru. His voice, so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out of it, revealed a dark and ruthless attitude that could not be refused.

"We haven't finished the osmanthus cake we bought from Wanwu last time. It tastes better with oil tea than cold food~"

After hesitating for a long time, Hibamaru actually obeyed his brother's orders. He finally compromised under this smile, nodded, and replied: "Well... okay then."

Higekiri and Hinamaru left the table one after the other.

With the Genji brothers taking the lead, some other Fusangami also gradually left the stage.

Oomaru, Sozomonji, Smiley Aoe, Izumi Mamoru Kanesada,...

In the end, only one third of the original number of mourning gods remained in the room.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga sat on the left side of the main seat, looking at Mikazuki Munechika who was sitting as steady as a mountain opposite him, and couldn't help feeling curious.

"Why doesn't Mikazuki go back and enjoy the moon and drink tea with Uguimaru?"

This peaceful old man loves to do such boring things. Why is he acting so abnormal today?

Or rather, it should be said that since the arrival of the new Shinsengumi, everyone has been acting abnormally, with the exception of Tsurumaru Kuninaga who performs scary pranks every day.

Upon hearing this, Mikazuki Munechika's eyebrows curved, as if he didn't hear the subtext in Tsurumaru Kuninaga's words, and he responded calmly.

"Watching the moon with an empty stomach is not suitable for an old man like me~"

Besides, his moon is not in Honmaru.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga stopped talking and looked at the cold food in front of him with boredom.

Chokudaikiri Mitsutada received the reminder and stood up from his seat.

"Since you still need to eat, I'll go heat up the food."

Everyone nodded, and Yamaubakiri Kunihiro kindly helped to serve the dishes.

……

That night, until the bright moon climbed above the treetops, the dazzling stars were eroded by the pitch-black darkness, the sky became bottomless and deep, and then the sky opened up to dawn, these sword masters did not wait for the Shinsengumi to return.
