[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

*** Hijikata Suisan, I want to marry you. ***

"Really?" I didn't expect to laugh, I covered my mouth and looked at Toshizo Hijikata, "Why are you kidding me?"

Hijikata Suisan lowered his head, and before that I saw his tightly closed lips and thick dark circles around his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Tong." Senior Ishikawa apologized again, "At this point, for the sake of safety, you are no longer allowed to use the ability of Rakshasa, and you must also bring that black umbrella when you go out during the day."

Senior Ishikawa left some medicine and asked me to take it on time with meals, but he didn't say anything about the effect.

"It's just the two of us." I played with my fingers, my nose sore.

"Ah." Hijikata Toshizo sat down beside me, "It took three months, did you think it through?"

"What?" I asked.

"Don't pretend to be stupid." He glanced at me sideways, "I'm sure you won't forget what I said to you that night."

A warm current flowed through my heart, I smiled and looked at him, "Will you marry me? I haven't thought about it."

——Think it over, think it over that night.

——One hundred wills, one thousand wills.

"I'm afraid you are the only woman who has been rejecting me." Hijikata Toshizo placed his hand on mine, "But I only think your reluctance is your rare reserve."

"Hi." I frowned.

——I'm afraid that losing after owning is more painful than never owning.

"Seven days later, give me seven days to prepare." Hijikata Toshisan hugged me in his arms, "As long as you don't use the power of Rakshasa, it will be fine."

After listening to Ishikawa-senpai's words, I began to live cautiously. I didn't expect that the time of saving Iemo Tokugawa was gone forever, and my body seemed to be broken in some invisible place.

He often went to the yard to look for the general manager after the sun went down. He loved basking in the sun, and was ordered to stay in the garrison because of his poor health.

"Hey, Ah Tong." The director general smiled, "After that day, what do you think is going on in the street?"

"What can there be?" I asked.

"It's said that the deputy head of the Shinsengumi hooked up a beautiful female ghost, and said that our Shinsengumi made a deal with the devil." The chief executive was still coughing despite his thick clothes.

Patting him on the back lightly, I suddenly felt that the world was unpredictable. In such a sad scene, a few years ago, neither of us would have believed it. "Director, do you want to eat Jinping Tang?"

"Thought." He smiled, but coughed again.

"I think so too." I helped him stand up, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"

"I remember, Ah Tong and Ryoma came to the test hall together. At that time, Mr. Hijikata treated you with a look of indifference. In fact, at that time, I knew that he treated you differently from other women."

"The chief executive is still the same as that time, unchanged." I smiled.

"Why hasn't it changed?" The chief executive walked side by side with me, "I don't know what happened to Ryunosuke, if he's still alive."

"Ha, that's really going to make fun of us, that guy is always very passionate, isn't he?"

The chief stopped and looked at me, and we both looked at each other and smiled, as if we were connected with each other because of our mutual sympathy.

Jin Pingtang's boss has changed, and the replacement is his younger brother, who is said to have died in a scuffle with the Langshi.Hearing that the chief executive is a frequent visitor, he gave away a lot as a token of gratitude.

"It's unimaginable that Ah Tong is going to marry Mr. Hijikata." The chief executive tasted Jin Pingtang and said, "Hey, that's great."

……

When we returned to the garrison, everyone was in a mess. Seeing that the chief executive and I had calmed down, we were inevitably reprimanded.Qianhe blushed with anger, "Mr. Okita and Ms. Tong are real! How could they leave without knowing it?"

Since knowing that I am a daughter, Qianhe has become closer to me. She looks weak, but there is something standing in her heart supporting her.

Among the crowd, Miuraho was among them.Her gaze followed the chief, and she didn't leave for a moment.

"Xiaosui, long time no see." I waved my hand and tugged at the corner of the chief executive's clothes.Over there Xiaosui lowered her head slightly in shock, her hands twisted in front of her chest.

"Is Dr. Miura okay?" I dragged the chief executive to Xiaosui's side, "The general secretary has always entrusted you with the medicine, thank you very much."

Xiaosui raised her head, her big round eyes seemed to be full of water, "It's my honor to be able to do something for Mr. Okita." She said and looked at the general manager, "Mr. Okita, recently... the symptoms of coughing up blood Is it getting better?"

Coughing up blood?I turned my head to stare at the boss.

"Ha..." Seeing me looking at him like this, the chief executive rubbed his head and smiled wryly, "It's really difficult. Xiaosui, you're much better."

When the crowd dispersed, I followed Hijikata Toshisan into his house.

"The chief's illness. What exactly..." I looked at him, "Is it tuberculosis?"

"...Yes." Hijikata Toshizo sighed.

Drowsy, I fell down on the tatami and burst into tears.That's why I was asked to take good care of Hijikata Toshizo, and that's why I said that I don't have much time to waste.

"Hijikata Toshizo, I want to marry you." I threw myself into Hijikata Toshizo's arms, "I want to marry you."

I hate the atmosphere in the camp, joking and fighting with each other like in the test hall at that time, isn't it great?I hate the current settlement, it seems that in the next second, something will be lost.

——Let the village brighten up.

"Wedding, let's have a wedding that makes everyone happy."

******

The specially invited kimono master took the bridal gown and gesticulated on it so that I could change the size. The white cloth, like a pure white lily, bloomed in the village, bright and moving.

"Snapped"

"Sorry." The kimono master squatted down and picked up the white clothes, "I'll clean it up."

"It's okay." I shook my head.

……

On December [-]th of the second year of Qingying, Emperor Xiaoming died, and the whole country mourned.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the wedding was on hold.I leaned on Hijikata Toshizo's shoulder, "It's okay, next spring will be even better, and the celebration will be held under the cherry blossom petals, just thinking about it is beautiful."

However, at the turn of winter and spring, Kokotaro Ito led a group of 13 people, including Saitoichi and Todo Heisuke, to break away from the new selection group and become the Royal Tomb Guards.

"Damn Ito." Hirasuke's departure hit Shinpachi hard, and I could only comfort him by the side. After all, this time, Hirasuke followed his own will.

Like Shinpachi, everyone seemed very distressed, and Chizuru Yukimura's performance was more obvious. She often looked at the yard alone in a daze, and even sat in a corner feeling sad.I'm afraid Hirasuke is very important to her.
