Witnessing such a one-sided crushing battle, Ryoko opened her mouth wide in shock, and couldn't help but want to applaud Hijikata Toshizo.

But thinking about the battle with Izumi Mori Kanesada before, Ryoko didn't know for a while whether it was this man named Hijikata Toshizo or the sword in his hand.

"Sorry, women shouldn't have seen this scene."

Seeing Ryoko's wide eyes, Hijikata Toshisan thought she was frightened.

"It's okay, I'm not very timid."

Ryoko quickly waved her hand, telling Hijikata Toshizo not to mind.I was planning in my heart, how to persuade this samurai gentleman to accept my interview.

"At this time, why is the lady out alone?" Hijikata Toshizo took a step forward and asked.

He blocked Ryoko's sight, and didn't want her to notice the flesh-turned corpses on the ground.

At the same time, he did not lean too far forward, keeping a polite and safe distance from Ryoko.

"I……"

Shouldn't this question be raised by Ryoko Nishijima?

Hijikata Toshisan secretly read her script and recited the lines?

"Miss is too dangerous to walk alone on the road, if you don't mind, I'll take you back." Hijikata Toshizo stole Ryoko's lines again, "I'm from the Shinsengumi, not a bad person."

"Well... let me go with you to your house!" Liangzi decided to regain the initiative.

"Huh?" Ryoko's words startled Hijikata Toshizo, "Go back with me...?"

"That's right!" Ryoko nodded, "Mr. Hijikata should be ready to go back, right? If you don't mind, you can let me follow you..."

"Never mind." Before Ryoko finished speaking, Hijikata Toshizo mercilessly rejected her.

"..." Such a flat refusal was beyond Ryoko Nishijima's expectations, and she froze for a moment.

"No matter what the reason is, Miss shouldn't run away from home, let alone go with a man of unknown origin." Hijikata Toshisan frowned and said, "This world is not so safe, Miss should go home."

"Mr. Doji is an unknown person?" Ryoko blinked.

"I'm just giving an example." Hijikata Toisho said.

"That's right! The person who stole Mr. Hijikata's knife is still in that alley," the clever Ryoko hurriedly changed the subject, remembering the proposal Izumi Mori gave him, and stretched out his thumb and With his index finger, he squinted his eyes and gestured, "I helped Mr. Hijikata get back the knife. I should be regarded as Mr. Hijikata's little benefactor, right? Should... have the right to make small demands?"

Tufang glanced at the alley behind, nodded to show that he knew, "I will send Miss home safely as a reward."

It seems that Mr. Izumi Mori Kanesada's suggestion is not working.

But at this late-night Hanami, Xiaolu Liangzi couldn't find other pedestrians, and it was too late to rush to other places. For the sake of ratings, she could only try coercion and lure.

If not...

She gave up today's interview work.

"Mr. Hijikata, the color of your hair has changed." Ryoko pointed at the long hair that changed from white to black, and exclaimed, "The color of your eyes has changed too! Mr. Hijikata! What's going on? ?”

"..." Tu Fang frowned, his face a little ugly.

"This should not be seen by others, right?" Ryoko looked around, lowered her voice pretending to be mysterious, and looked sideways at the body lying behind Hijikata Toshisan, "Speaking of which, I still I saw Mr. Hijikata killing someone! Can Mr. Hijikata really let me go?"

"..." Hijikata Toshisan looked at Ryoko, the knife in his hand slightly unsheathed.

"That... Killing a weak woman should not be in line with the spirit of Bushido?" Ryoko hurriedly stopped talking, and didn't continue talking.

Her teary eyes looked at Hijikata Toshisan, there was no fear in it, she was just... pretending to be pitiful.

"What exactly do you want, Miss?" Hijikata Toshizo sighed, and then buckled the slightly unsheathed blade, "The place I live is not suitable for women to stay overnight. If Miss really doesn't want to go home, I will help Miss find a shop for a while." Stay here, do you think it's okay, Miss?"

I don't think it will work.

Ryoko responded quickly in her heart.

"I'm not looking for a place to live! It's just..."

Ryoko was about to explain, but she glanced at the tracking drone that had just been equipped with a cloaking device, and hurriedly shut up.

Because she suffered a loss in the era of underdeveloped technology last time, she deliberately applied to the unit leader for the invisible coating of the drone, thinking that she could choose whether to show the drone according to different ages, and whether to explain her real job to the interviewer .

In the current situation, Ryoko felt that she should change her reason, a reason that could be accepted by Hijikata Toshizo who lived in this era.

"I'm looking for material!" Liangzi slapped his palms and began to lie, "I'm actually... a writer! I came out today to find material!"

"Looking for material?"

"That's right, I want to know why the people on the streets of Kyoto don't come home so late in the middle of the night, and what's going on at home." Ryoko lied smoothly, "I just saw Mr. Hijikata is so powerful, so I really want to visit your house, To do an interview is to chat with you."

"..." There was doubt in Tufang's eyes.

"This is documentary literature, I will never make it up! You don't have to answer questions you don't want to answer!" Ryoko read the taste of drama in Hijikata's eyes, hurried forward and said a few more words , "It will be many, many years after the publication of the collection, and it will never have any impact on your current decision-making!"

"If Mr. Hijikata agrees," Ryoko swore by holding up three fingers, "I promise not to tell anyone what happened tonight!"

"Deputy Chief of Earth—the remnants of the Royal Tomb Guards have escaped!"

"Deputy Chief Hijikata! The knife thief didn't go to steal the director's Toru! The trap was set for nothing! Mr. Kondo is still waiting and refuses to go to sleep! What should we do?!"

Ryoko here was still bargaining with Toshizo Hijikata, when two groups of people rushed out of the originally empty street.

They wore the same light onion-colored mountain pattern haori as Hijikata Toshizo, and they all looked tense.

But when they saw the corpses in one place, half of them breathed a sigh of relief, while the other half stared at Ryoko beside Hijikata with an expression of disbelief.

"Deputy Chief of Earth...you are..."

The voice of the team member who asked the question was very soft, as if he didn't dare to ask the question, but he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.

"The knife thief is in the alley over there. Take it back and interrogate it." Hijikata Tsuisan pointed to the place Ryoko had just told him, and then turned around to look at the corpses on the ground. Clean up the corpses of the guards. Remember to clean them up before dawn, so as not to scare the early risers."

After arranging all this, Hijikata Toshizo didn't give any explanation to the team members. Under the gossiping and curious eyes of the team members, he took Ryoko Nishijima and left from Hanami Koji.

"Don't know what Miss is called?" Hijikata Toshisan asked in a low voice after seeing no other team members.

"Ryoko! My name is Ryoko Nishijima!" Ryoko responded with a smile, forgetting everything that happened just now, and followed Hijikata Toshizo, "Mr. Hijikata is taking me home now." ?"

"My home is in Tama." Toshizo Hijikata responded, "Now I can only take Miss Nishijima to where I stay in Kyoto. I live in the Shinsengumi's settlement."

"Anywhere! As long as you can go to Mr. Hijikata's room!" Ryoko Nishijima was not picky.

"However, Mr. Hijikata obviously resisted before, so why did he accept it all of a sudden?" Before arriving at Toshizo Hijikata's residence, Ryoko Nishijima found a topic to chat with Toshizo Hijikata, "Mr. Hijikata doesn't seem to be threatened by me. people."

"Miss Nishijima just said that she was collecting materials for writing a book. If my story, or the story of the Shinsengumi can be recorded and known to future generations, I am very happy to cooperate." Hijikata Toshizo said, "I think this must be a story that future generations will feel proud of when they see it."

Although Hijikata Toshizo was serious, he suddenly squatted down when he was about to reach the main entrance of Nishi Honganji Temple. He also took Ryoko with him and hid in the bushes, moving towards the side entrance little by little.

The actions of the two of them at this time resembled thieves preparing to steal.

"Mr. Hijikata, that... If we are proud, do we need to hide like this?"

Ryoko was puzzled by such a move, and subconsciously looked down at her bracelet, wanting to see if Hijikata was telling the truth.

"How do I know that the boy in charge of the director is guarding the door tonight, and he's looking at me...cough cough——"

Hijikata Toshisan originally wanted to explain something to Ryoko, but he hurriedly stopped after saying a few words, and changed to a more serious reason: "Before I explicitly prohibited team members from bringing women back to the garrison. of."

"..."

Is it really?Ryoko expressed doubts.

"Miss Nishijima, please cooperate," Hijikata Toshizo whispered to Ryoko as the cat advanced on the ground, "Or we can change places? If we're just chatting, you don't have to go to my room."

"I am willing to cooperate!" Ryoko, who was also on the ground, quickly moved forward a few steps, reached out and grabbed Haori, who was dragged by Hijikata Toshizo on the ground, "I promise, I will never let other team members discover my existence! "

In order to avoid the soldiers patrolling the door, and Okita Souji who seemed to be standing at the door waiting for Toshizo Hijikata, they entered through the small side door of Nishi Honganji Temple.

Because it was late at night, the yard was very quiet, apart from the occasional snoring, no other abnormal noises could be heard.

On the way, Hijikata Toshizo told Ryoko that the residence of their Shinsengumi was not here
