***The haiku career of Mr. Toyotama【Toshizo Hijikata】***

I finally agreed to Senior Ishikawa's request and borrowed a pen and ink to write letters, but I always wrote every sentence, wrote each letter and tore each letter, and simply put down the pen and became dazed.

In fact, I also think that what Senior Ishikawa said is right. According to what he said, we should bury our lines at various intersections and important places, and finally use useful resources when Ryoma is attacked. Change like water.

Another point is that I don't know how to face him after knowing his engagement with Zona.Speaking of which, even I myself feel hypocritical for supporting the Ishikawa Senpai Project, like an excuse.

Taking out the pocket watch that was still brand new, a big rock was pressing on my heart, and it was difficult to breathe.What is going on, are Ryoma and Sana friends or... lovers?

"A Tong, I'm coming in."

Okita Souji's voice came from outside the house, I immediately cleaned up the shredded paper on the ground at the speed of light, but when Okita Souji came in, the pens and paper were still lying obediently on the table.

"Oh? Are you going to write haiku like Mr. Hijikata?"

"What?" I opened my mouth, I have never heard of Haixie.

"Ah, it doesn't matter, I'll show you something interesting." Okita Souji said as he took out a thick notebook, and opened the first page and wrote "Fengyu".

The handwriting looks...it seems to belong to Toshizo Hijikata, I blinked my eyes and raised my head slightly, "Sir, Mr. Hijikata has another name?"

"Know the goods." The chief executive almost clapped his hands and applauded. He smiled narrowly and whispered in my ear, as if he was telling me something extremely secret, "This is the stage name Mr. Hijikata gave himself."

"Stage name?" I laughed out loud, "What, is he going out to perform?"

The general manager waved his hand to me, reached out and turned a page: "Hey, I haven't seen anything interesting yet."

I glanced at it and suddenly realized.It turns out that this haiku is just a haiku, just called it differently.I looked carefully again:

Confused

My heart is in love like an idiot

wandering where to go

I suppressed a smile and asked the general manager, "Is this written by Mr. Hijikata?"

"Well, Ah Tong, Mr. Hijikata is an elegant person." The chief secretary approached me with a book so that I could see it more clearly, "Mr. Hijikata said he wanted you to see it, so I brought it."

Unexpectedly, Hijikata Toshizo was meticulous on the surface, he seemed to be an ascetic maniac, but writing such rippling haikus in private was really boring.

"It's really good." I stretched out my thumb to the general manager, and then looked down:

Confused

I am sympathetic but resolute

law without hesitation

his fan is like his person

It doesn't matter what looks like what looks like

A gentleman should encourage himself

There was a sudden thump in my heart, and I felt cold for a while.Although I can't understand what kind of mood Hijikata Toshizo had when he wrote these two haikus, but judging from the literal meaning of the sentences, what he wrote is Serizawa duck.

I originally thought that Hijikata Toshizo’s dislike of Serizawa ducks was planted from the bonfire incident on the way to Beijing, and a series of things after that made this opposition intensified. Now this haiku makes me realize that Hijikata Toshizo San's feelings for Serizawa duck are not just disgust, but a magnet, bonded by two extremes.

Extreme hatred, and extreme appreciation.

I don't understand, I don't understand what is going on in his heart at all.

"Director!"

With a wave of his hand in front of his eyes, the book in the chief's hand disappeared.In a blink of an eye, I saw Hijikata Toshizo standing behind the chief executive with a gloomy expression, holding the haiku collection tightly in his hands.

This situation is not quite right... I tugged at the corner of the chief's clothes, winked, and said to myself: Chief, didn't you say that Mr. Tukata asked to bring it? !

The general manager smiled at me, and idly put the hand that was holding the book in the middle of the air into his arms, and spread the other hand indifferently, "Ah, Mr. Hijikata's masterpiece, let's read it. It’s a blessing to us.”

After hearing this, Hijikata Toshisan blushed, lowered his voice and scolded: "General Manager, you bastard!"

The two of you spoke and stared at each other in front of me, so I naturally watched it lively.To say that Hijikata Toshizo is strict with Okita Souji, it is better to say that the guy has an indescribable concern for the Souji, which is much more than others.

"Well, Mr. Hijikata, don't be angry, Ah Tong seems to appreciate it."

well?My eyes were wide open, and my index finger slowly pointed to myself, "What does it have to do with me?"

Mr. Okita put his hand on his arm with a crooked mouth, "Ah, Xiaoyi and I are going to prepare dinner tonight." He waved his hands and walked to the kitchen.

"Dum——" This voice came out of nowhere in my head. Seeing the figure of Mr. Okita gradually moving away, I rushed forward, gritted my teeth and said, "Didn't you just ask me to help you?"

***

When he arrived at the kitchen, Saitoichi was already preparing the preparations. The white bandages were neatly tied, and he was holding a plate to wipe.

"Xiao Yi, there are volunteers to help you today."

The director's words attracted Saitoichi's sideways glance, his ice blue eyes turned to me, and he simply said "oh" without any further response.

I have always felt that I am slow to speak. Since this era, I have met such lively people as Ryoma, Shinpachi, and Souji, but when I meet a taciturn master like Saitoichi, I have no choice.

Silence, silence, if it wasn't for Okita Souji who has been talking to Saitoichi and me, I'm afraid the atmosphere in the kitchen would be extremely awkward.

"Tong! Is the person calling you Xinpachi outside?" The chief executive asked me while cutting the vegetables. Look."

"Remember to come back, or continue to help next time." Director Okita smiled.

I trot out in response.Following Shinpachi's loud voice, he found the location of that guy, but there was another person beside him.

"Ryoma?" I murmured.

Standing at the corner of the corridor, the back of the person at the other end of the corridor is still so tall and straight.

He turned to the right and pointed to the sky, his familiar profile was covered with warm red light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Tong, you are here!" Xinpachi's voice was very loud, I slightly bent my mouth and nodded at him, and beside him, Ryoma, who was looking at the sky, looked back at dusk, with a familiar hearty expression on his face smile.

"Tong. Long time no see."

He heard clearly, "Tong, I'll pick you up."

I watched him walking towards me, his face became more and more clear until I could see the little freckles on his face from the wind and sun.

"Tanned again." I smiled, trying to see his appearance clearly again, but the fog in my eyes obscured my vision.

The glow hangs in the sky, like the blush on the face of a slightly drunk girl, exuding warmth.

The author has something to say:

Mr. Hijikata's strategic talent is absolutely gifted! V5~~!!
