*** Kokotaro Ito joins the team ***

In August, on behalf of the Shinsengumi, Fujido Heisuke first went to Edo to recruit team members, and then Director Kondo took Shinpachi and others to Edo.

At the same time, Senior Ishikawa returned to the Shinsengumi from the Aizu Domain with a dark face, and told me that after the last riot, the Choshu Domain has now become an enemy of the court.

"The enemy?" I asked.

"The imperial court has ordered the shogunate to conquer Changzhou."

To be honest, I was quite surprised what was Ishikawa-senpai anxious about, but I didn't ask, I just nodded as if I had suddenly realized.

I haven't seen him for a long time, so I thought I should talk about the recent situation, so I started nagging him a lot, such as Heisuke Kondo went to Edo, and the general manager didn't obediently take tonic and other topics kept popping up.

"Oh, Kondo." Senior Ishikawa nodded, "I was asked by Matsudaira Yoho-sama to do something."

"What to do?" I was very surprised, because it seemed that Director Kondo did not mention what he was doing when he went to Edo. I just thought that he was going to recruit soldiers.

"The order to conquer Changzhou has been issued, but the general has not acted for a long time. Kondo's trip to Edo this time is to persuade the general to go to Beijing at the order of Matsudaira Yoho-sama."

As soon as his words came out of my mouth, I was a little scared. Compared with the last time I could only protect the general at the end of the team, this time Director Kondo was able to accept such a heavy trust.

"It's getting closer." Senior Ishikawa sighed, "I feel a little scared."

It's October in a blink of an eye, the hot weather is no longer, and the suitable autumn wind blows on the body, which makes people feel comfortable.I sat on the corridor and lifted my legs back and forth, and the black umbrella was obediently placed beside me.

The sun is not so hot, and the long-lost sunshine is my unique enjoyment these days.After getting used to the slightly stimulating pain, in fact, I can appreciate the beauty of sunshine even more.

"Cough cough."

I turned my head, and the chief executive put his hand against his bright red lips and coughed lightly. His cold has not recovered for a while.

"Did you drink the tonic that Xiaosui sent?" I stood up and patted him on the back and asked. Xiaosui is the daughter of Miura Yosuke. Since the last time we met, he would send tonics every once in a while, saying that everyone should take care of it. body, but among them, the chief division has the largest amount of medicine.

"You don't need to drink those things." The chief manager smiled, and I patted him a little harder, "Coughing always hurts the body, and it will also bring out other diseases. In this way, you go with me today Let’s go to Dr. Miura’s clinic, see you early.”

"Don't." The chief pushed my hand away, "Don't make a fuss about it, Ah Tong."

Just as he was talking, Hijikata Toshisan walked over from one side, his black hair fluttering in the wind: "Director, go and have a look."

"Well, you two really have the same heart, and you came to bully me together." The chief executive looked at Hijikata Toshisan and then at me, spread his palms as if sighing helplessly, and turned to leave, "I still have business to do, don't participate and your business~"

I took a step to follow, "Captain! Don't leave me behind."

The collar was grabbed, like a chick being caught, and I was carried back by Hijikata Toshizo.He let go of me and put one hand on my shoulder so I was facing him.

"Why do I feel like you're hiding from me?"

I shuddered and quickly answered, "No!"

"Don't make me wait too long, I'm not that patient." He folded his arms and looked at me with a smile on his face.

Since that night, his attitude towards me has occasionally been extraordinarily ambiguous, but reason tells me that the shyness that can't help but arise in my heart should not exist.

Perhaps because of my hesitation, Hijikata Toshizo resumed his usual tone: "We will arrange a banquet to welcome Kokotaro Ito tonight, and I will inform Ishikawa to come too."

Kokotaro Ito was the biggest gain from this trip to Edo to recruit team members.I heard that this person is not only a master of the Kitajo Ichidou style, but also has first-class swordsmanship, and is very talented, proficient in waka and haiku.

At night, the Xinxuan Group hosted a banquet in the village.After waiting for a while, a group of strangers walked in. The one at the front had a beautiful face, and there was a state of awkwardness between raising hands and throwing.

"This is Kokotaro Ito." The chief executive said softly beside me.

My position is on the outermost side, next to the chief executive, and Saito Kazu sits on the right of the chief executive.I locked my eyes on this man named Kokotaro Ito, his eyes were upturned, his eyes swept across my face, and he walked towards his position.

He was followed by Isamu Kondo, as in the old days, without the pretensions of the chief, and sat down with a straightforward smile after asking Ito Kokotaro and others to take their seats.

During the dinner, Isamu Kondo and Kokotaro Ito had a very happy chat, and the things they talked about were all current affairs in the world. I was a little surprised that Ishikawa-senpai and Keisuke Yamanan were quiet while I was pawing the rice.Everyone is used to Hijikata Toshisan not talking, but regarding current affairs, Mr. Shannan's silence is puzzling.

"I heard that Kokotaro Ito is a faction of Qin Wang's downfall." The chief executive sat next to my ear and whispered, "Is it really okay to let such a person in?"

His face was reddish, and he seemed to be a little drunk.I snatched his glass and asked him not to drink, it would hurt his health.He raised his eyebrows and accepted my suggestion, picked up his chopsticks and concentrated on the food.

However, as the general manager said, since this man named Ito belongs to the Banbai faction, he seems to be incompatible with the Shinsengumi who is obviously inclined to the Saba faction. Did he join because of King Qin?Holding the wine glass, I squinted my eyes and looked at the man's smile. This kind of seeking common ground while reserving differences is really worrying.

"What's this gentleman's name?" Sensing my unfriendly gaze, Kokotaro Ito smiled at me.

The eyes of the whole audience fell on me at once, and the director general laughed beside me, looking like he was watching a good show.

Straightening my waist, I raised the wine glass with both hands and pointed it in the direction of Kokotaro Ito, "Ishikawa Kiri, I'm sorry."

"Ishikawa?" Ito Kokotaro turned his head to look at Senior Ishikawa, "Oh" dragged out the ending, "Even so, we are considered destined."

Kokotaro Ito said and pointed at himself, "Among the newly joined team members is my brother named Suzuki Miki Saburo."

"Suzuki?" I asked.

"Haha." Isamu Kondo smiled innocently, "Tong, this Kokotaro Ito is not Mr. Ito's real name."

"Indeed." Hijikata Toshizaburo said in a voice, "Mr. Ito's real name is Suzuki Daizo. I heard that the first school he learned was not the Hokuto Ichidou style."

Little chrysanthemum, turn, turn, turn, ORZ... sorry to finish posting QWQ

In fact, Kokotaro Ito is a good man with both civil and military skills. It is said that he is as handsome and personable as Kiyokawa Hachiro
