[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

***Who said women can't take the initiative***

"Aren't you going to deliver it?" Hijikata Toshisan lowered his head and asked softly in my ear.

"Thank you..." I let go of his hand, turned around and chased him out.

"Dragon Horse!"

"Tong?" Ryoma and Ryu Narasaki stopped and turned around, I trotted after him, "It's not easy for the deputy chief to show up, so I'll see you off on his behalf."

"Haha, that guy is really a good person." Long Ma replied with a smile, "No matter what, he always has a pure heart."

Hearing what he said, I remembered the Ikedaya incident that made Shinsengumi famous, and I felt guilty: "I'm sorry, about Mochizuki Kameta..."

"It's all in the past." Ryoma turned around and continued to walk forward. I couldn't see his expression, but just listening to his voice, he was probably relieved, "I heard that he was let go. It was you Bar?"

"..." I made a gesture of silence to Ryoma, "I saw him with you before...but I still couldn't save him, I'm really sorry."

"Tong doesn't need to apologize." Ryu Narazaki held my hands, "It's hard work, right? I really admire Tong for being able to persist in trying to balance the balance between Ryoma and Shinsengumi."

The big eyes are as clear as water, innocent and kind, you can tell just by looking at them.Ryoma said she looks like me?Now seeing her I just feel ashamed of myself.

If Ryoma is the sun, Narazaki Ryu is like a sunflower, blooming resplendently and violently. Her smile and his laughter are like the best and most beautiful in the world, innocent and strong.To be honest, I feel inferior to her.

"Miss Long praised me." I smiled, "From now on, please be sure to stay by Ryoma's side. With you here, my friend can relax."

"I will definitely!" Ryu Narazaki hugged me with a smile, "Then let's go! See you next time!"

"See you next time." I waved my hand and watched them leave.

At the same time, some people gathered behind them, discussing something rustlingly.

"I heard him call him Ryoma, isn't that Ryoma?"

"I don't know, if it's really...then..."

My heart is pounding. Indeed, whether it is Isamu Kondo who let Ryoma go intentionally or unintentionally, or Hijikata Toshizo bluntly saying that he will not hurt Ryoma, these are all based on the friendship of the test guard or their own will.But from the perspective of Shinsengumi, Ryoma shouldn't be here.

"Is there nothing to do?" I shouted at the crowd, turned into irritability from worry, and watched the crowd disperse, but I stood there at a loss.

I can't decide with Ishikawa-senpai willfully. He said that my existence is necessary, which means that I am necessary in the plan to save Ryoma.When he said full trust, he meant that I need to trust him completely to complete this plan?

Thinking about it, I rushed to Senior Ishikawa's room.

"what's up?"

"Senior, I want to make a deal with you." I took off the knife and ribs from my waist and threw them on the tatami. "As long as you agree, complete trust is not a problem for me."

"Tell me."

"After saving Ryoma, please also save the Shinsengumi." I lowered my voice, "I still know about the success of the Restoration, so as the Shinsengumi of the Saba faction, I still bear the blood debt of Ikedaya on my body, that's fine. It is estimated that those people will not let them go."

"You can think clearly about that." Senior Ishikawa smiled, "If I don't agree, will you give up Ryoma?"

"Probably not." I shook my head, "I don't know what to do."

"Then apart from this bargaining chip, you don't have anything worthy of my agreement to this condition."

"I'm betting." I stared at Senior Ishikawa's gradually stiff smile, "Because Senior Ishikawa is not a profit-seeking person, you said you admire Iemo Tokugawa, so you also made a move. I know you are a good person."

"Really..." Senior Ishikawa lowered his head and smiled, "It's true, there are so many more burdens for no reason, it seems that we can only take one step at a time."

"So?!" I jumped up excitedly.

"I promise you." Ishikawa-senpai bent down and picked up my knife and ribs, "However, I can't guarantee the outcome now."

"Your 'promise' is enough!"

I took the knife and ribcha and ran all the way back to the house, but when I opened the paper door, I saw Hijikata Toshizo standing inside, half kneeling on the tatami mat, sorting out the letters I had scattered all over the floor.

"Sorry!" I hurried over and snatched the letter from his hand, "I was in a hurry and messed up."

"Since I've said it, I can't go back on it." Hijikata Toshizo grabbed my wrist, "Even if you did it for other reasons... But, everything that you said just now counts, right?"

"What..." I lowered my head.

The strength on the wrist increased a little, he held me tightly, and his voice was very low: "Staying by my side is very happy. Does it count? Will you stay by my side as promised?"

Before I could answer, he said again: "Even if it's just talking in front of Ryoma, even if it's just pretending..."

"No..." I took out my hand, rubbed it, raised my head and looked directly into Hijikata Toshizo's eyes, "No."

"..." He closed his lips tightly, lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes swept over his pale skin, like porcelain sculptures.

I walked up and stretched out my hands to wrap around his waist, and I could smell a good smell when I lay on his chest, it was very light and sweet, making people feel like they were in the moonlight.

"It's not for Ryoma." I grabbed his clothes and rubbed them lightly in his arms, "Hijikata Toshizo, you always say you like me, let me take the initiative too."

The shoulders were hugged tightly, and I felt his face against my head, and the feeling of being embraced by him was like being wrapped in moonlight, but it was still a little strange, as if there was a rabbit in my chest , jumping wildly all the time.

"Hijikata Toshizo, I like you."

--I like you.

- I want to stay by your side.

——I want to be with you and live happily ever after.

"Fool." His voice was deep and sweet, "You are only allowed to take the initiative this time."

"Ugh?"

"I'll do it from now on, you're a woman."

"Hey!" I raised my head abruptly, feeling that I had bumped into something, and saw Hijikata Toshizo let go of me, covered his face and took a step back, "Who says women can't take the initiative?"

"You..." Hijikata Toshisan's voice was not quite right, I leaned closer and saw red liquid dripping between the fingers of his fingers covering his face, "It hit my nose..."
