What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

Liang Xia did what she said, and asked someone to send an invitation letter to Xuecun Qianhe the next day, and Xuecun quickly responded.

But a few days later, Xuecun came to the door not only with one person, but with almost half of the top executives of the Shinsengumi.

"This... Could it be that your Shinsengumi are all free?"

Toya, who had half of his clothes off and his upper body naked, put the Odachi back into its sheath, with a very surprised expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."

Facing the other party's expression of surprise, Hijikata Toshisan could only turn his back and respond with an ugly expression.

First, Harada said that he was also present when Yukimura Chizuru and Ishitani Liangxia were there, and he should come together; then Okita Souji said that monitoring Chizuru was assigned to him by Mr. Kondo, so he would go too; Hijikata came But they really wanted to find Toya Ishitani for something; Fujido and Yongcura said that since everyone was going, they would join in the fun together—so they formed a wonderful team of five accompanying people, one host and one guest.

"Father, what are you doing!?" Liang Xia yelled, covering the eyes of Yukimura Chizuru beside her with one hand, and covering her own eyes with the other - if her fingers left such a big gap, The anger in that voice sounded real.

Fuyumi blinked innocently, scratched her cheek, "Isn't it rare that I want to practice sword..."

"...Master Toya." Diarmuid quickly handed over the small sleeve he took off when practicing sword just now.

"Thanks, Diarmuid." Toomi also took it and put it on.

He was sweating and practicing sword swing before, and it can be seen from Toyomi's attire that he hadn't planned to appear in the friendship meeting of the two young girls. After all, there were people he didn't know well. It would be very comfortable, so he simply hid in it and fished.

Unexpectedly, Xuecun didn't come alone, Liang Xia couldn't receive so many people by himself, so he had to invite them into the inner hall, only to bump into him practicing sword in the atrium.

"Mr. Ishitani, you are in good shape!" Okita Souji laughed and booed.

"Thank you for the compliment." Fuyuya also responded calmly, "Mr. Hijikata, you can turn your head and be fine."

……

After this accident, Hijikata, who sat face to face with Fuyuya in the reception room later, always felt very embarrassed.

Dongmi asked Liang Xia to take Xuecun Qianhe to play, but there was no other suitable candidate, so he had to ask Diarmuid to receive other guys who joined in the fun-although it is conceivable that the way the heroic spirit treats guests is probably just to order After the tea was served, Bafeng sat there motionless and let everyone in the Shinsengumi play around.

In the end, it was Hijikata who came on business to be received by Fuyuya alone. Perhaps because he felt his embarrassment, Toyomi took the initiative to say: "Mr. Hijikata, what is the reason you came to see me this time?"

When it came to business, Hijikata finally returned to his usual serious expression, "I want to ask about the information you sent to Shinsengumi."

"intelligence?"

"It's Yuya Kiemon from Shijo Bridge, what do you guys mean?"

Seeing Fuyuya obviously not paying attention to it, and seeing the expression of suddenly realizing it after he reminded him, Hijikata felt something bad for a while.

"Oh, that, he encouraged other businessmen to trouble our family. We checked him and found that he was dealing with some suspicious people. We are good law-abiding citizens. Of course, we have to report this matter to the guardian of order in Kyoto. The Shinsengumi adults have dealt with it~" Toya Ishitani laughed after finishing talking, "So, what's the result?"

Hijikata Suizan came to ask Fuyuya about this because, according to common sense, people with samurai pride would not want to ask other people for help unless they had to. They belong to Mr. Songping Rongbao, and there is no conflict in their positions. Their characteristics complement each other and each has its own strengths, but they still do their own thing, holding their breath and wanting to get ahead of each other.

However, seeing Dongya's attitude, he knew that he had guessed wrong, and this person could not be judged by "common sense".Hijikata, who originally planned to try to get more information from Fuyuya, had to give up his original goal.

"... That person is indeed suspicious. We have already spotted those suspicious people who come and go around him. But in order not to startle the snake, we haven't interrogated him yet."

"Well... Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you guys."

Now that the matter has been settled, Fuyuya stretched and stood up, and opened the door.

Directly facing out was the atrium where he was practicing sword just now. Mr. Okita was looking at something there. Hearing the noise here, he simply turned his head and asked: "Mr. Ishitani, what you put here is...?" He pointed to something on top of a stake in the atrium.

"Tofu." Fuyuya replied.

"Tofu? Why do you put tofu here?" Okita asked curiously.

He will suddenly be interested in this piece of tofu. In fact, he recognizes the base on which the tofu is placed, which is common in this era. When cutting this kind of straw knife target, I just don’t understand what Tomomi does when he removes the knife target from the top and puts a piece of tofu on it.

"It's just for practicing swords."

Fuyuya shrugged, but still walked down the atrium, pulled out his hand and raised it above his head mercilessly.

"...Drink!"

With a soft reprimand, Fuyumi swung his knife and chopped down, finally stopping the castration on the surface of the piece of tofu.

After Toya put the knife back into its sheath, Okita couldn't help poking the piece of tofu, it was still intact, which made him frown.

From the point of view of the result, this useless knife was not stopped forcibly with the strength of the wrist. It gave people the feeling that the knife was supposed to do what it should have done before it reached the tofu.

Even so, Okita had seen the sharpness of that big sword before—let’s put it this way, even if the blade of the sword touched the tofu without any force, a crack would probably be cut in the soft tofu.

What's more, the airflow blade that will definitely appear during the actual chopping may have split the tofu in half before the blade actually touched the tofu.

Unable to figure out how Ishitani Toya did it, Okita simply pulled out his knife and slashed at the piece of tofu.

It has to be said that he is worthy of the name of a genius swordsman, and he insisted on stopping the knife at the end. However, the result was just as he expected, even if the blade did not touch the tofu, the wind blade generated when he slashed down still split the tofu into pieces. in two halves.

"What, what, Director, what are you playing? Are you cutting tofu?"

Noticing the commotion here, Fujido and others who love to join in the fun came together one after another.

Okita, who was interrupted from thinking, said angrily: "You can try, how can you not split the tofu in half while the blade reaches the body."

"Isn't it just trying not to shred the tofu, just try it!"

Fujido pulled out his sword unbelievingly, but of course the challenge ended in failure.

"—Hahaha, Hirasuke, you can't do it, you still have to look at me!"

With the first comes the second, and the next one to try is Nagakura Shinpachi.

……

When Hijikata came back to his senses, he found that the captains of the Shinsengumi, who were still young at heart, had joined the tofu, and Ishitani Toya sat on the porch at some point and began to watch the tofu cutting performance with relish.

Looking at the piece of tofu that had been cut into pieces, Tufang had a headache.
