Honmaru, the main entrance.

Kitsunesuke reported to Haruka what had happened in the past few days and the trouble that Tsurumaru had caused.

Probably, Tsurumaru arbitrarily changed the scenery of Honmaru into a haunted house, causing great mental torture to others.

He pretended to be dead and tricked everyone into crying, and when everyone was having a gathering to discuss something, he suddenly appeared and scared Fujishiro to tears.

During the chase, he destroyed fields and public property, and the harmful song gods Kanesada and Ishikirimaru fell into the big pit he dug.

"You're quite capable." Haruka looked at Tsurumaru with some admiration in his tone.

Even though Tsurumaru got into so much trouble, the others didn't beat him to death. He really has a good temper.

Tsurumaru showed no sign of remorse. He smiled modestly and said, "Thank you very much. I need to work harder."

"Well, keep up the good work." Qinghe hoped that he could do it next time and not be caught by others and hung on the main gate.

"Shinsen-sama, please don't condone this kind of thing!"

Kitsunesuke never thought that he had misjudged her. This Shinsengumi was not obedient at all. She even instigated Tsurumaru to play pranks.

It is hard to imagine how presumptuous Tsurumaru will become in the future with the support of the Shinsengumi.

Will the Honmaru be turned into a mole hole by Tsurumaru? Kitsunesuke feels that he cannot foresee the future.

In order to appease Kitsunesuke, Haruka symbolically proposed a punishment: "Well, all the losses caused will be deducted from Tsurumaru's salary."

Tsurumaru was somewhat proud: "I don't have any salary."

Punishment like this has no way of deterring Tsurumaru at all.

"Are you sure?" Haruhe looked at Tsurumaru thoughtfully.

It turns out that all those small pans that the staff had sent over before were for the Shinsengumi.

Haruka pinched Kitsunesuke's ears and asked him, "Have you counted the losses?"

"The fields have been renovated, and the damaged pillars and floors have been replaced, so there isn't much damage."

Although Kitsunesuke was very angry with Tsurumaru, he didn't want him to be hated by the Shinsengumi because of this.

Anyway, as a punishment, Tsurumaru has been hung for two days, and everyone has almost calmed down.

Haruka carried Kitsunesuke into the Honmaru and corrected him, "Let's put things in perspective. Being able to repair something is one thing, but the human, material, and mental resources spent on it are all losses."

Adhering to the principle of tit-for-tat, Tsurumaru dared to do this, which means he is ready to bear the consequences.

Therefore, in order to avoid turning it into a bad debt, it must be settled clearly.

Kitsunesuke thought about it and answered obediently: "Okay, I'll go and get the statistics from everyone in a while."

The man and the fox walked into the Honmaru, going further and further away.

"Master, there's me too." Tsurumaru called out to Haruka from behind.

Qinghe turned around and smiled at him, and slowly raised a thumbs up: "Tsurumaru, come on~"

Then she mercilessly disappeared around the corner.

There was no other way, Tsurumaru could only place his hopes on Mikazuki.

"Three days and a moon――"

Mikazuki put Tsurumaru down. He smiled, but his words were full of threats: "Tsurumaru, if you make such a fuss again next time, you might be hung on the Tokai Pond."

After being put down, Tsurumaru rubbed his shoulders and said, "Well, well, everyone is cheering up, isn't that good?"

Sanriku still had a calm expression, and it was hard to tell whether he was in a good or bad mood at the moment: "Hahaha, you are right."

After Tsurumaru's commotion, the other people in Honmaru who had originally planned to turn a blind eye to the Shinsengumi had to seriously consider ways to coexist.

"Together?" Tsurumaru was going to find Haruka.

Mikazuki smiled helplessly and rejected Tsurumaru's invitation: "Shinsen-sama has completely ignored me. It would be ungraceful to rush forward again."

Besides, it's not the right time yet.

He and Tsurumaru are currently the oldest swordsmen in Honmaru. One of them takes the lead to try to accept the new Shinsengumi, while the other naturally has to ensure a way out for his companions.

——

In the Honmaru.

Haruka took Kitsunesuke back to his room first, because the control center of Honmaru is usually placed with the Shinsengumi.

The room has been arranged. The outer room is the office, the inner room is the bedroom of the Shinsengumi, and the control center is temporarily placed in the office area.

These were all handled by Kitsunesuke. He was not sure whether Haruka would be satisfied, so he asked:

"Since the Shinsengumi-sama is not here, I have arranged it according to the previous specifications. Does the Shinsengumi-sama need to rearrange it?"

"Well... that'll be it for now."

Haruka has no objection to the furniture chosen by Kitsunesuke. What she wants to know more is which genius came up with the idea of ​​treating work as life?

The office and bedroom are connected. The man who worked so hard the last time she saw him, now looks gloomy and withdrawn.

It turns out that replacing life with work is not just a niche hobby. The world outside is really full of workaholics, which is scary.

It seems that we can't stay in this place for long, Qinghe decided to go somewhere else.

Qinghe walked to the control center and input spiritual power into it. The scene in the main maru slowly began to change, and after a while, it returned to its previous normal state.

Seeing the scenery outside had changed back to normal, Kitsunesuke was finally completely relieved. God knew what kind of fearful life he had been living these past few nights.

"By the way, Master Shinsengumi, are you going to start your work now?"

Kitsunesuke calculated through the shared database: "Although the resources in the main circle are sufficient at present and we don't need to go out to fight, the arrangement of the inner battles and the forging of swords are daily tasks."

Qinghe sat down behind his desk and casually opened a work log, which recorded the arrangements for the internal animation every day, except for these few days.

"Who was in charge before?" He looked quite serious.

"Hasebe-dono was arranging the internal affairs before. He turned back to his original form due to insufficient spiritual power, so there is no one to arrange it during this period."

Qinghe closed his work log and happily made a decision: "Let him make the arrangements from now on."

Well, such a good worker, she will go and wake him up in a while.

"What about sword forging? The previous Shinsengumi didn't give us access to the sword forging room, and it's been a long time since a new sword has been made in Honmaru."

In order to explain to Haruka the importance of sword forging, Kitsunesuke added: "Having more swords can improve the combat power of Honmaru and increase the chance of winning."

Qinghe didn't care about this question. It didn't matter to her how many swords there were in the main palace. If they wanted to have more companions, she could also open up the authority to them.

"I will open the permissions for the sword forging room, and the resources in the warehouse can be taken as needed. If they run out, they can go out and pick them up themselves."

"But..." Did the Shinsengumi completely ignore them?

Kitsunesuke wanted to persuade Haruka, but considering that she was still a child, it was better not to trouble her with work for the time being.

"Shinsen-sama, you have to grow up quickly!" Once you become an adult, you can start working.

Qinghe lay down on the tatami. She felt that it would be nice to stay like this forever. At least she wouldn't be forced to work.

She changed the subject: "Kitsunesuke, go and bring Yakiri Hasebe here quickly."

"Okay, Lord Shinsengumi, please stay in your room first. I'll be back soon and bring you some peony cake, okay?" Kitsunesuke coaxed her like a child.

Haruka was very cooperative, but she also said sweetly: "Kitsunesuke is so nice~"

"Hehe, this is what I should do." After being praised, Kitsunesuke left happily.

A deceptive appearance can really fool people. Kitsunesuke has been fooled to the point of being completely confused.

Where should they go next? Qinghe thought for a moment. Come to think of it, did Kitan ask her to blow up the ghost king's head before?

"Ah, it's time to get to work." Qinghe sat up.

When Kitsunesuke came back carrying the original sword of Yasakiri Hasebe, the room was empty again, with only a talisman left on the table to awaken the sword.
