You can't hurt protein sauce

[-]. When admiration and lovelorn happen at the same time

I shrug.Now that I know Mr. Hijikata is doing this for me, I don't want to let him down.

So I ended up going to Master House according to his idea.Kagura was obviously surprised when she heard about it, she pouted at first and said "Silver fucking heroine as long as I'm enough, who are you talking about, Aru!" After seeing me But he was surprised, "Hey—— aren't you the protein sauce king raised by Duo Chuan's family! It turned out to be you, Alu!"

I'd love to ask who Takushi-kun is and reiterate that my name isn't really some meringue--but Kagura-chan clearly doesn't want to listen to me.

"That's right, Mr. Protein Sauce." Mr. Sakata Gintoki, the store manager of Wanshiwu, was obviously surprised when he saw my hairstyle and the wooden knife on my back, but he didn't show it much. Said in a familiar tone, then reached out and pulled me into the room and closed the door.

Except for the first time (hey, hey, hey, I have an appearance in the front!), everyone is familiar with the people except the glasses gentleman who met - Juaner, Mr. Okita's future wife,

I bowed, and said in a manly tone as much as possible: "It's our first time meeting, my name is Qian—" I couldn't get my pronunciation back, so I hurriedly coughed a few times, and continued: "My name is Tufang Bai, I'm here Wanshiwu works for a short time!"

Little Kagura poked Glasses-kun, "Come on, come and say hello!" Then he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and extended his hand to me in a friendly way, "It's the first time to meet Mr. !"

Hello!They all said that their name is Qian Chuan—ah no no no no!Tu Fang Bai!What are your ears for!As a display? It must be a display, right? (No... that's for hanging glasses [hello)

I looked at his hands indifferently, said "sorry", and turned away.

The "new baji" that Xiao Shenle said was not very shocking at first. He didn't understand what I meant, so he turned his head and asked: "Mr. Protein Sauce, don't you have any hand problems... Sorry I don't know."

I shook my head calmly, and said, "Sorry, I don't shake hands with virgins."

Xiao Kagura and Mr. Gintoki burst into laughter after hearing my answer.

Xin Baji's face was ashen, and three seconds later he exploded. He stared at me with an almost crazy expression and shouted: "What's wrong with being a virgin?! Virgins also have human rights! Labor and management can shake hands with you!" What kind of bullshit reaction do you think of you? I’m sorry! Being a virgin is the proof that I defend Miss Atong like a jade, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like you! Hmph!” I felt a little unbearable like a series of shells, so I asked Sakata Yin Shi...Mr. Yinshi cast a look of "Help, why is your employee a lunatic".

The other side shrugged.Xin Baji noticed my gaze, and started to spray Sakata-kun again—"And you! Why don't you talk about you! What about my salary? My salary? If you get it, you will have to do white work for you—every time you get the money, you will use it to buy desserts, so I said that if you eat so many sweets, you might as well just turn them into sweets and forget about it, you bastard is hopeless!"

It's you who can't be saved.My inner OS.

But what exactly did he say? The work Mr. Hijikata entrusted to him before was indeed exchanged for desserts... This product must have high blood sugar.I silently define.

"Has Wanshiwu always been like this?" I turned my head and asked Xiao Kagura.

The girl who was eating kombu nodded and looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes, "Yes, it's very warm, isn't it Alu."

"...Well, you can say that too." I nodded.

I feel a bit like when Mr. Hijikata chased Mr. Yamazaki, or when Mr. Hijikata woke up Mr. Okita, or captured Mr. Kondo who went out to follow Miss A Miao, it felt like a family.

So Hijikata MAMA is definitely the role of MAMA. Every time, he is responsible for telling the child to stop playing and go back to eat (beating Yamazaki who played badminton), or responsible for waking the child up (asking Okita to get up), or in the child’s Guidance on the road of love (advice on Kondo's pursuit of A Miao)...ah, he really cares a lot.

...Wait, now I'm in Wanshiwu!Why do I think of that guy!

My expression twisted slightly.

If Mr. Hijikata was around, he would definitely say that you were in a daze again, then coolly threw the cigarette butt he was biting in his mouth on the ground, ran it over and over with his feet, put on the Shinsengumi uniform jacket and walked away.

…………Etc., etc! !So why do I think of him! !

The corner of my mouth twitched violently.

Little Kagura seemed to have noticed my movement, and looked towards me, "What happened, Aru? Protein sauce."

"No, it's nothing." When I said that, I felt strange, and now they called me protein sauce, and I didn't even refute it, as if I accepted it.

By the way, protein sauce really doesn't make people think of strange things! !For example, when a man's reproductive organs reach a certain level, what will come out...

Whoops what the hell was I thinking.

I hold my forehead.

————————————————— Here is the update dividing line ——————————————————

As a result, it still became like this.

After asking Mr. Sakata "When will the takeover end?" he yawned sullenly, and then said, "Ah, that...what's the matter, your business is OK~ If you want to pack up and leave, remember to help Yinsang, I'll throw that pile of garbage out." He waved his hands and lay down on the sofa and turned over.

I am a little surprised.

It's just a little weird to ask this at a time like this.I couldn't help but want to know the exact date.

When can I go back to Hijikata-san...

By the way, why do I think of him again! ?Why on earth! ?Sure enough, it's because he is my MAMA! ? Have the MAMA properties invaded my brain? !

I instantly turned bitter, reached out to pick up the trash and went out the door.

"Cut! Don't you just don't want to throw out the trash, I'll help you! Throw it out together with your JUMP!"

"Hey wait—! JUMP! Only that, only that don't—!"

"Then I throw away the strawberry milk in the refrigerator?"

"That's not rubbish at all! Don't throw it away! Absolutely don't throw it away!!"

"Yes...then I'm going."

I took the trash and went out the door.Today is the day of garbage collection. If you want that silver-haired curly-haired nose-picking uncle to throw it away, I don’t know how long it will take.

I threw the garbage over there casually, and then I remembered what I said a few days ago.

——【"Help me find out what this guy did."】

——["I accept your commission. I will take over this child for a while."]

Has Mr. Sakata checked it out...

I was not a criminal, but I was forced to take the position of a scapegoat——this matter.

After several inquiries, I couldn’t come up with any results. I couldn’t help but went to Mr. Hijikata. Some glaucoma bastard glanced at me while holding a cigarette, then put on his coat and continued walking. Habit.

That's right...it's too unaccustomed to be so quiet, no, I must find something to complain about.

When I think about it, I can't help but think about the previous things.

[Because the angels who rule above take the sins of the angels who do mischief--]

[——It’s all pushed to you. ]

Originally the only victim, he turned into a criminal in the end.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stop.Probably because he heard the footsteps behind him stop, Mr. Hijikata also paused.

Seeing that he was about to walk forward again, I couldn't help but stepped forward and stretched out my hand to grab his sleeve.

"Ah, Hijikata Mama is really annoying. I finally made up my mind to come to you. How can I ignore such a cute and cute daughter." I said in a flat, unwavering tone.

……wrong.

No, no, no, the role setting is wrong!It was outrageously wrong!

"Who is your mother!?" Mr. Hijikata turned around and stared at me with a "tsk" and said, "Why are you looking for me now?! It's hard to push you to the Wanshiwu! Let go, you guy..."

After saying that, I looked at my hand holding his sleeve tightly.

My hands couldn't help shaking.

...Is it "plug"?It was so hard to... was it stuffed in...?

"Hey, Hijikata Mama... how much trouble have I caused you?" I tried my best to smile, and asked with a slight tilt of my head.

I was really not used to having my hair cut off, and even the male clothes on my body were very uncomfortable at first.

But these are measures to protect me.

These are all done by the man in front of me to protect me.

"How could it be so easy to hide it from the higher-ups? How many things have you done?"

I know.

"For this reason, I don't hesitate to let me wear your name, and I was born with Hijikata as my surname...I..."

My eye sockets couldn't help getting a little moist, and I silently lowered my head.

Mr. Hijikata sighed, threw away his cigarette, and then reached out and ripped my hand away.

He grabbed my wrist, turned his head and looked around for a while, and dragged me into the store.

I wanted to withdraw my hand, but his strength was too great.Pursing my lips, I reached out and leaned on his palm.

very cool.

It was still the same dessert shop as before, but this time it was seated very inside.

He didn't let go of my hand until he pulled me to the seat. I grabbed it subconsciously, but my fingertips only touched his cuff.

At that moment, I suddenly had such an inexplicable sense of uncertainty.

—I can't reach him.

He silently withdrew his hand and hung it by his side.

—I can't get him back.

"What do you want to ask?" After ordering two sundaes, Hijikata took out mayonnaise from his pocket and turned to me.

I put my chin on my hands and looked him straight in the eyes.

really.

It's the same, exactly the same as when it caught me.

"First of all... Mr. Hijikata, please answer my questions seriously no matter what, and please tell me the truth." I said firmly, took my glass of sundae from the waiter, and watched him silently Mayonnaise squeezed on sundaes.

How much this man loves mayonnaise!So sad that the meringue was left out!

……Wait, something messed in, no, no, no, I didn’t say anything just now.

"I refuse. Anyway, what you want to ask must be something inexplicable. I still have work to do." Mr. Hijikata answered me almost without hesitation, but it didn't affect my emotions. .

I took a deep breath and held out my fingers.

"Three days, I'll take all your mayonnaise for three days! So please answer my question!"

Mr. Hijikata hesitated for a few seconds, then pretended to be indifferent and said: "How could I take something from a little girl like you, bastard! Besides, don't try to bribe me with the trick I used to that guy from Wanshiwu before." ?!"

I gritted my teeth and almost subconsciously wanted to slap the table and stand up. "Then what do you want me to do?!"

Instead of answering me, he scooped up the sundae with a spoon.

"Mr. Hijikata... Please." I almost cried, lying on the table with both hands clenched into fists.

After a long time, I heard his voice.

"……You ask."

"Why help me?"

"Because it has been proved that you are not a criminal, the one who committed the crime is a god, and you are just an innocent scapegoat. I don't want to wrong you."

"Why save me?"

"At first it was just because you were a suspect, but later it was because I wanted to save you."

"..."

"Any other questions?"

"Mr. Hijikata still has a reason to hide it."

In the end, I lowered my head and could only utter affirmative sentences in response to his question.

I gritted my teeth and took several deep breaths, wanting to hear the words as I thought.

"Why did you want to save me later?"

why.

Why do you want to save me?

Why did you not hesitate to let me change from Qianchuan Bai to Hijikata Bai, and even asked Wanshiwu to take care of me but didn't charge me any price?

How could I not understand.

How can I afford to...

Mr. Hijikata seemed to sigh slightly.

He took out his cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and turned his head to look out the window.

Clear sky.

"Because you... reminded me of Sanye." His voice was so soft that I couldn't hear it clearly.

"...Huh...?" I looked in his direction, but I couldn't see his side face clearly.

The vision is blurred and I can't see clearly.

I have already made up my mind.

"The man named Sanye..."

Tell yourself over and over again not to ask.

"Who is Hijikata-san...?"

But still can't help but want to know the answer.

"she is mine……【--】"

I felt warm liquid overflowing from my eye sockets, the corners of Mr. Hijikata's lips rose slightly, but his brows were slightly frowned.

This time, I finally saw clearly.

That was a wry smile.

It was a smile that endured great pain, but still managed to smile.

"Is that so?"

I lowered my head and pressed my right hand on the left side of my chest.

I know this smile.

I know.

That's how I laughed the day my home was destroyed, watching the fire burn.

Laughing like this... Laughing, and then crying.

"I see...Thank you, Hijikata-san."

——When I realized that I fell in love with the person in front of me, I also realized that I had fallen out of love.

——Is this feeling so...painful...?

I couldn't help smiling, then stood up, put my hands together in front of my body, and bowed to him.

"Thank you very much."

Of the sundae that day, my share was left untouched until the very end.
