[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

The man over there tightened his grip on the little girl's neck, and he could already clearly see the little girl's discomfort.I hurriedly cast a look for help to Souji Okita next to him, but he was smiling and focused on Saito, looking like he was watching a good show, and he didn't seem to want to make a move at all.

"Stand back." Saito said to me coldly without looking back, while pushing me back slowly.At the same time, his blade was pushed out, and his left hand rested on the knife, ready to go.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the man holding the girl blinked and swallowed vigorously, took a few steps on the spot and finally stood still and threatened: "You! Don't come over!" Several minions behind him also booed: " Do not kill their mother and daughter!"

I was flustered when I heard it from the side, Saitoichi must be able to take down this group of mobs, but those guys dare to come to the door must have the backing support, not to mention the girl who was already scared and at a loss, the mother who is not present now probably also implicated.

Saitoichi probably also thought of this, he put his blade back into its sheath, and said in a steady tone, "Sorry, I will find a way about the money."

"Hey, are you speaking in an apologetic tone?!" A fat man came out of the crowd, his eyes were green and he looked like he had been beaten. He walked up to Saitoichi and pointed at his eyes exaggeratedly, saying, "Look, look! If you hadn't made so many moths for me, I would have fallen into this field?!"

"Haha~ very cute, this appearance is quite suitable for this gentleman." The Souji Okita suddenly opened his mouth, walked over slowly and leaned against Saitoichi, and said slowly, "Isn't it , Yi?"

"Who are you?!" The fat man blew his beard and stomped his feet.

"Hey, it's best not to mess with me."

I twitched the corners of my mouth when I heard Mr. Okita's joking voice, and hurriedly added: "That's right, it's best not to mess with him."

The fat man glanced at me, then at the smiling Mr. Okita, took a step back inadvertently and shouted, "It's only natural to pay back the debt!"

After a short period of silence, Souji Okita sneered a few times, which seemed particularly abrupt. I looked at his and Saitoichi's backs and suddenly started to worry about that fat man, which offended Souji Okita. This time it's not just a bruise Alright.

"Hey, what do you want to do? That woman is still with us, don't mess around!" The fat man seemed to feel threatened at last, and shouted slowly.

"Oh? Which woman? I don't know you." Okita Souji said and took a step forward.

Saitoichi moved his body, and carefully grabbed Okita Souji's left hand from behind.I saw the two of them make eye contact, and Souji Okita smiled mockingly, but he finally stopped.

"Shoji!" Hijikata Toshizo scolded from the side, and I turned my head to see him stepping forward, passing me and walking directly beside Saitoichi, "Saito, I told you not to cause trouble."

"Feel sorry."

Hijikata Toshisan frowned and looked at the apologetic Saitoichi without saying anything, directly took out a bag from his arms and stretched out his hands in front of the fat man, "Let him go, take the money and get out."

The fat man took the bag and weighed it, and said to Saito with a smile, "Yamaguchi, I didn't expect you to find a good financial backer. How about it? Would you like to cooperate with us to make another fortune?" As he spoke, the fat man shifted his gaze to Hijikata Toshizo, and took a step back as if intimidated.

"Get out." Hijikata Toishan said in a low voice.

The man who was holding the girl loose immediately, and he and the fat man led a group of younger brothers to escape as if to leave.

"Deputy Chief..." Saito was about to say something to Hijikata Toshizo when the little girl jumped on him and burst into tears.Hijikata Suizan smiled: "Saito, you should settle this child."

"Ah, Mr. Hijikata can't deal with children all the time." Hearing Souji Okita's smiling voice, I relaxed and giggled, but I happened to meet Toshizo Hijikata's gaze, and I was suddenly at a loss Silence.

"Oh?" Okita Souji shook his hand in front of my eyes, "Did something terrible happen?"

"No!" Toshizo Hijikata and I said in unison.

Later, I learned from Xinbakou that the girl’s mother helped Saitoichi when he first came to Kyoto, and provided accommodation and food in every possible way. It is said that she took good care of Saito, but in fact the woman was widowed many years ago. , Needless to mention the hardships, the family situation will not be good.Saitoichi would occasionally help the underworld to collect debts, but this circle is too dark, and he did some shady tricks in order to tie up such an expert as Saitoichi.

"Isn't Saito-kun in a quagmire?" I asked.

"Of course Saitoichi is not a vegetarian. After he did a few more things to collect debts, he tried his best to get away. When he left, he helped the mother and daughter settle down elsewhere and left money for them to live on. "Xin Bahuan raised his arms, "Speaking of which, it is said that Saito also left in order not to cause trouble to the mother and daughter."

"Huh? How did I hear it was for repaying a favor?" I asked again, "It seems to be to repay Mr. Kondo for saving his life?"

"Well, well, who knows." Shinpachi held my head back and forth with a smile and turned around, "Don't guess what a man is thinking, a little girl like you won't understand."

After I struggled to break free, I found him holding his chin with one hand and meditating to himself: "But with such a beautiful girl behind me supporting me, I probably won't be as distressed as Saito."

"Yeah, I guess I'm so happy that I can't find the north." I saw the needles, and Harada Sanosuke next to me nodded, "If it were me, I would stay and live a good life."

In those few days, Saito was often absent from the Yagi House, and it was said that he was arranging the place for the mother and daughter. In short, I never saw the little girl after the noise that day.However, I can always see his gratitude to Hijikata Toshizo from his eyes, it seems that he is a guy who will repay his kindness.

"It's been a long time." Todo Heisuke said sullenly while sitting on the tatami, "What are Mr. Kondo and the others talking about?"

I stared at the candles in the room and rested against the corner of the wall. Since Isamu Kondo told me about that incident directly, I always felt uneasy, but seeing Hijikata Toshizo’s reaction as usual, it seems that I still don’t know that Isamu Kondo and I have ever had a relationship. Have a conversation about him.

I'm such a bad person.

I should tell him what I really think.

"Atong?"

"What?" I woke up suddenly, seeing that everyone in the room was looking at me, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn
