With my body still not recovering, I was still forced to participate in the banquet, and when I asked why, it turned out to be the request of Senior Ishikawa.

This time, my seat is on the left of Ishikawa-senpai, so it is very convenient for me to talk.I was quite puzzled, why did Senior Ishikawa feel so relieved that he must call me here.

"Drink?" Senior Ishikawa picked up the jug.

I hurriedly stopped Senior Ishikawa who was about to fill me up with wine, and pushed the bottle away, "I'm still injured."

"That's right." He nodded suddenly, "I forgot."

No way, I immediately felt like kicking him. It turned out that calling me here wasn't because I didn't consider my injury, but because I simply forgot about it.Inhumane, I gritted my teeth and stared at him for a while, summing it up silently in my heart.

But although I feel a little upset, this is indeed a rare harmony for a long time, under the premise of the appearance of Serizawa Duck.Except for Harada Sanosuke, Inoue Gensaburo and others who were not present, such a peaceful gathering of the entire Shinsengumi was rare.

Serizawa duck didn't lose his temper, Hijikata Toshizo and Serizawa duck chatted happily.If it were me this morning or afternoon, such a scene would not even dare to be imagined.

"I'm so happy—!" Fujido Heisuke ate a glass or two of wine, and the volume became louder.

I covered my right ear and glanced at Todo Heisuke who was sitting on my right. This guy's cheeks were flushed like rouge, and his bright eyes were full of relief and pure happiness.

He then yelled again: "Xinba, let's put on a show!"

Senior Ishikawa laughed and clapped his hands. Over there, Todo Heisuke and Nagakura Shinpachi laughed, but on the other side, the situation seemed a little strange.

Saito was usually cold, but Okita Souji was extraordinarily silent today, he was gone who always liked to joke Hijikata Toshizo and sneer at Serizawa duck, just sat there quietly and had a few drinks, and the corner of his mouth The smile in my mouth made me feel a chill behind my back.

Speaking of it, it's not quite right.The superficially flashy and cheerful atmosphere was like a bubble, only barely covering it, Isamu Kondo who drank coldly by himself, Keisuke Yamanan who had been watching Serizawa duck, and Toshizo Hijikata who was particularly enthusiastic today.There is something undercurrent surging underneath.

"I'm not feeling well, I want to go back first." I don't want to get involved, and want to leave this place of right and wrong.

"Don't!" Todo Heisuke held me first, and then Shinpachi came over and put his arms around my shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't do this, what a disappointment."

I looked around, and Shannan Keisuke looked at me with frowned eyebrows, as if warning me not to act rashly, but Ishikawa-senpai next to him was still eating happily with the fish, so I had no choice but to give up: "Then I'll go outside to blow some air. "

They didn't stop me again, I went to the corridor and sat down.It has been a long time since autumn, and the wind that blows will always bring some rustling sounds, and some fallen leaves will spin down.

Looking up, there are red maple leaves all over the line of sight, slightly blocking the light of the moon, but not covering the full moon like a silver plate hanging high in the sky, but for some reason, the stars tonight are extraordinarily sparse, It seems to be deliberately not to compete with the moon.

"slap" "slap"

Between the voices of Hirasuke and Shinpachi in the house, I could occasionally hear the slight sound of raindrops falling into the soil. I stretched out my hand to explore, and the cool and comfortable rainwater fell on the palm of my hand and diverted away with the palm lines.

The rain came quickly and became heavy all of a sudden.Crackling and smashing on the leaves and mud.I curled my legs, but my back was still straight because of the wound. This stiff movement seemed to warm my body.

After a while, Senior Ishikawa came towards me in the dark, "Go in quickly, the wound will become a persistent disease if it catches cold."

"That's right, I don't want to suffer from that kind of illness when I'm old." I put my hand on Senior Ishikawa's palm, stood up with strength and walked into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I was really taken aback. People were almost halfway there. I looked back at the rain curtain behind me, "Did you leave before it rained?"

"I left after it rained." Ryunosuke Ibuki answered me, "You also know Mr. Serizawa's temper, what comes to mind." After he finished speaking, he snorted and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Oh, you bastard!" Shinpachi arrived at Ibuki Ryunosuke's side at some point, and wrapped his arms around his neck. The two brothers swayed happily, and almost didn't let him say goodbye in advance.

Only a slight "bang" sound was heard, and something seemed to have fallen from Ibuki Ryunosuke's arms.I fixed my eyes and saw that it was a delicate wooden comb.

"Oh? Who is it for?" Xinbayan quickly picked up the wooden comb and looked at it carefully.Seeing this, Ibuki Ryunosuke immediately went to grab it, "Don't take people's things randomly!"

However, Ryunosuke Ibuki's skills are not as good as new ones.I saw Shinpachi dodging his attack easily, and jumped directly beside me, "Tong, take a look, is it a family heirloom or something."

"I don't know how to appraise treasures." I said and took the wooden comb to have a look. It is indeed very delicate, but it is not up to the level of treasure, and it looks very new, it should have never been used.

Seeing Ryunosuke Ibuki rushing up to me, I handed over the comb and smiled, "Are you going to give it away?"

Ryunosuke Ibuki's face turned red suddenly, from the base of his neck to his entire face, it looked like a ripe apple, he snatched the comb angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"It's that girl, Xiao Ling?" Shinpachi strikes while the iron is hot, and when he sees Ibuki Ryunosuke, he lowers his head in embarrassment, turns around and claps Todo Heirasuke in celebration, "If you want to send it off, you have to hurry up, those little girls are very sought-after. .”

"Ah, I'm so annoying, I know!" Ryunosuke Ibuki muttered and returned to the cushion, I saw his hands clenched tightly, I'm afraid he was not only holding the comb, but himself heart.

Looking at him, I suddenly understood Sister Amei's thoughts, because I like that person, so it doesn't matter who that person is.I don't care whether he is a monster or a first-class bad guy in the eyes of others, because even a bad guy has a gentle and kind side that is revealed to those closest to him.

Ryunosuke Ibuki also raised his eyes to look at me and they collided. I smiled and confused him.Fortunately, the man was careless, and he stood up and said, "I'm about to go back." Immediately afterwards, Shinpachi and Heisuke also said that they would go back to rest, and they will be on duty tomorrow to inspect.

It's exactly what I want, and I've long wanted to go back.I also stood up.

"No." Saitoichi said in a cold voice, and I looked at him in surprise. He was sitting upright with his eyes closed, his slender eyelashes trembling slightly, "You guys have to stay here."
