[Comprehensive] Doing a puzzle

"The spider tattoo on the Lord's body..."

"Ahaha, I tattooed it myself, don't care, don't care."

I don't know if it's because she stayed with Sanriyue for a long time, and she gradually fell in love with this hahaha stupid way of talking.

With a lift of his clothes, Quan covered up the exposed spider tattoo.She picked up the towel from the hot water basin, took the towel from her hand after a while, and said, "Let me come, my lord, please go to bed early and rest."

Quan nodded, and sat down on the small creaking iron bed.

In the first phase, he rolled up the cuffs, and his fingers stained with water droplets smeared a small dark mark on the cuffs of the military uniform.With a slight twist of his slender fingers, the water droplets twisted from the towel fell to the water surface of the basin, shattering his reflection.

Looking at the shattered reflection, his thoughts were a little dazed.

He couldn't help but think of the scene he saw just now - the black spider lying on the snow-colored skin, as eye-catching as ink falling on white paper.It is clear that the Lord is usually an elegant, gentle and decent person, but she who just showed her shoulder blades looks a bit coquettish.

"Phase one?"

In the first phase, Yizheng suddenly heard Quan's voice.

"What happened to your wrist?"

She held her cheek, stared at Yiqi Yizhen curiously, and asked.

Yiqi lowered his head and found that after he rolled up his cuffs, an old burn scar was accidentally exposed on his elbow.While calmly putting down his cuffs to cover the scar, he turned his head and smiled at her: "It's nothing, it's just a small injury from the past."

Quan nodded slowly, but other thoughts were entangled in his heart.

burn……

It must have been the fire at Osaka Castle.

When the Tokugawa family army captured Osaka, the entire Osaka Castle and the castle tower were burned down together, and Hideyori, the head of the Toyotomi family, committed suicide.Ikshin, who served as the servant sword of Toyotomi's family, was also burned in the fire.

The burned Yiqi Yizhen was later reforged by the swordsmith Echizen.However, Yiqi Yizhen's body will more or less leave traces of the fire of destruction.

"The name of the first issue is very nice." She didn't want to bring up the old story of Yizheng, so she talked about other topics in an envious tone: "It means 'only forge once in a lifetime', right? The first issue is Jiguang The only Taichi work in my life... is the 'one and only in my life'."

"Excellent reputation." He smiled slightly: "Your name is also very beautiful."

"Which name?" Quan counted with his fingers: "Is it 'Xiangdu'? Or 'Quan', or 'Quan Qilang'?"

One issue and one shock were asked.

"My lord...all your names are beautiful." In the end, he could only say this.

As the night darkened, the lights on Kabukicho gradually dimmed.There are no curtains in the small guest room, and the moonlight can fall in through the window.She lay with her clothes on the musty pillow, trying to fall asleep.

In Yiqi Yizhen, holding a saber in his hand, he sat upright behind the door, not feeling sleepy.As far as he is concerned, his mission is to protect the lord at this moment, so it is also necessary to be vigilant at night.

"Phase one?"

In the darkness, the person lying on the bed called his name again.

"Do you need anything?"

He replied immediately.

"I just... want to chat with Yiqi." Her voice was very soft: "Ichiki used to be Hideyoshi's saber, right? When he followed the Toyotomi family, Yiqi must have killed many enemies for the lord. Now The first issue has become my saber, but I have no chance to play the role of the first issue. Will the first issue regret this?"

The young man with short water-colored hair slowly raised his head, with a faint and gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.

"The function of the knife is not just to kill the enemy. 'Protecting you' is also a way to make the best use of my resources. Please leave everything to me."

He spoke in a low voice.

Obviously he didn't say any particularly touching words, but his words were like the warm wind of early spring blowing over the ice, unknowingly dispelling all the noise outside the window.

Quan suddenly felt extremely relieved, and as soon as his body relaxed, he fell into a deep sleep.

Sakata Gintoki acted quickly, and the next day, he said that he had found a suitable job for Quan.Led by Gintoki, she and Yiqi Yizhen walked through the winding alleys and stopped in front of a shop at the end of Kabuki Hall Ichiba Street.

——Wait, this job is not suitable!It's a good ball! !

Quan looked at the "Angel Girls Club" in front of her, and then at the business card that Sakata Gintoki had thrust into her hand in the morning, feeling speechless.

It was not yet business hours, and there was a "CLOSE" wooden sign hanging in front of the glass store, but through the glass, she could see several women walking around to put on makeup in the store.Without exception, they all wore various sailor uniforms and school uniforms, dressed up as schoolgirls.

"Don't think too much, there are no real female students here. There are none, there are no female students at all." Yinshi picked his nose and said calmly: "I only drink coffee with you here, and don't do other things. The work you have to do It’s not pretending to be a female student to chat with guests, but standing at the door fiercely, scaring people away with a sword.”

"Fierce, vicious...?" Quan pointed at himself, showing a very soft smile: "Am I fierce?"

"As long as a woman holds a weapon in her hand, no matter how soft and obedient her appearance is, she will not be underestimated." Yin Shi continued to pick his nose: "Haven't you heard of it?" The bastards are always aiming at nothing. A woman who resists with strength and is not aggressive'—take up a weapon and solve that."

spring:……

What Silver said makes sense.

If a woman has strength and holds knives, guns and ammunition in both hands, even if she wants to run naked in the street, there will be no lustful and daring men who are presumptuous to attack her—they have to weigh the speed of the bullet more or less ;

The club has been recruiting young men who can fight, to subdue those too rascal guests and troublesome competitors.Considering the overall image of the club, the owner of the club is more inclined to choose women with perfect appearance and explosive force value.Because there are very few women who meet these two conditions, the salary offered by the club is also very high.

For the sake of salary, Quan accepted the job.

After signing the work contract, she soon faced the first problem-the club required all female staff to match the theme of the store and dress up as extremely pure female students.

That's right, the characteristic of this club is "pure and lovely".Even though none of the young ladies who work and chat here are real students - they are of different ages, the oldest is 33 years old, and most of the younger ones are women who have dropped out of school, the boss still insists on this requirement.

On the first day of work, Izumi received his own uniform—a sailor uniform with a small square scarf.After changing into this outfit in the dressing room, she felt in a daze that she had returned to the age when she lived in modern Tokyo a long time ago.

She was also like that at that time, wearing a student uniform, going in and out of classrooms and campuses, beating all opponents with her looks.

The head waiter at the store said that as the club's bodyguard, Quan could wear a real knife.Although knives are banned in Edo, the owner of the club is acquainted with some mysterious people and has obtained the right to "sneak and wear knives at night".As long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary with a real knife, you can wear it to deter guests who find fault.

As a result, Yiqi Yizhen turned from a beautiful young man into a knife, which was held by Quan in the palm of his hand.Anyone who passes by the door of the club can see such a scene——

A beautiful young woman in a sailor suit holds a gorgeous vermilion sword in her hand; she pulls the sword out of its sheath from time to time and gestures a few times out of boredom. You can also feel the coldness of the blade, obviously a well-trained and experienced master.

There are also some good men who want to step forward to tease this beautiful female shop assistant, but because of the knife in her hand, these men dare not go forward—daring to hire people with real swords under the rule of Edo blatantly , It can be seen that the owner of the club is not small.

On the third night of working at the club, Sakata Ginkō visited the shop.He came here for no other reason than to find a professional repairman, Xiangdu, to fix his little toys.

"Yo, Xiangdu." The owner of Wanshiwu with silver curly hair looked sleepy and greeted her: "I'll order you today."

"?" Quan waved his knife, "But I'm just a janitor. If I leave without permission, I will be criticized and my salary will be deducted..."

"Don't be so heartless, Xiangdu." Sakata Gintoki took out his wallet with a calm expression on his face, "I've made a lot of money recently."

"I am also a person with a salary, and now I am no longer in a hurry for money." Quan said calmly: "I don't need you to pay, Mr. Sakata, I just need you to hand over the instrument to me and let me tap it twice. "

Silver Hour: ...

#How does this guy still remember this thing! !How brooding is she! ! #

Quan just wanted to collect spiritual power, she didn't consider Yinshi's mood at all.

Although the club's rule is that "the clerk can only accompany the chat, and the performance will be commissioned according to the number of coffee and meals sold"; Ke Quan is not a clerk who accompany the chat, so he is not bound by this rule.So, she spared half an hour from work to serve this guest, earning enough spiritual energy.

Every night, she guards the door of the store, dedicated to maintaining the harmony of Kabukicho.Until one day, a policeman passed by her.

Toshiro Hijikata had already walked past the club's entrance slowly.After walking fifteen steps, he quickly backed up and stopped in front of Quan.

"You..." He had a cigarette in his mouth, and his words were vague: "Have you changed your saber again?"

The earthwork's voice was a little hesitant.

If I remember correctly, this woman named Xiangdu had three knives before.And now the Taidao she holds in her hand is gorgeous and eye-catching, and it is another sword that she has never seen before-when knives are banned in Edo, where did she get such a beautiful Taidao?

"Mr. Hijikata...?" Izumi stared at Toshiro Hijikata blankly for a while, and then hid the first issue behind him.It's a pity that she was wearing a short skirt, and the eye-catching scarlet of the knife was still exposed between the seams of her legs, and she couldn't hide the eye-catching knife at all.

"I remember I reminded you?" Tufang shook the lighter, frowned and said, "You are a person who has been in prison anyway, can't you be more peaceful? You always wear a knife, and you will be mistaken for a dangerous person." .”

"Mr. Hijikata, this, this is a Transformer!" She used the old excuse again.

"Come on less!" Tufang was a little annoyed: "Even Transformers are too much!!"

After a pause, he held the cigarette between his fingers and flicked the ash.The pale white smoke exhaled from his mouth drifted upwards, and his face appeared gloomy and uncertain in the smoke.

"Most of today's samurai are not 'samurai' anymore. Everyone is like this. If you put down the sword, it's no big deal." Hijikata said: "Marry a wife and have children, or find another job, such There are a lot of people too. You can do the same.”

spring:?

What is the native saying?

Why did he suddenly start the philosophical chicken soup mode?

She tried hard to think about it, combined with her shallow historical knowledge, and barely understood Hijikata's meaning——

This guy is probably lamenting the changes of the times.In the post-sword ban era, warriors sought other careers.Therefore, what he meant was that Quan, like the group of warriors, stop carrying knives on his body.

I don't know if the Turkmen side is disheartened by this country, or they have other expectations for this country, so they say such things.

The earthworker wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard a "click".A man with a camera around his neck got out of the grass on the side of the road, and ran away with a strange smile on his face.

Earthwork:?

spring:?

The native side is not aware of it.

He put out the cigarette, turned around and was about to leave.Before he left, he thought of something again, and said to Quan: "Your name is Xiangdu, right? Someone from Yoshihara is looking for you, it seems to be Yoshihara's current owner. It's only a matter of time before he finds Edo, you'd better Leave early."

Earth is kind.

Although Yoshihara's former oiran Hirin said that Kazuto was already a free person, Hijikata felt that the Yoshihara girls would not be able to achieve real freedom so easily.One of the evidences is that Yoshihara's current master is sending his subordinates to find Xiangdu.

When the Shinsengumi went to Yoshihara to investigate the identity of Xiangdu before, they ran into a space pirate with a beard and a parasol, and lazily asked the sun wheel "Where did Xiangdu go?"

"Well, okay." She showed a grateful look and thanked Tufang.

"..." Tu Fang left silently.

He walked through the bustling streets, but he couldn't stop looking behind him, as if he wanted to take another look at the girl holding the dagger.It's a pity that he kept his body stiff all the time, forcing himself to keep walking forward, unable to show the slightest curiosity.

Xiangdu's appearance can make all the men who see her stop at the first moment; and her gentle temperament reminds Hijikata of the girl he met when he was in the country dojo.He is not a stone, of course he will be moved.

But ah...

Toshiro Hijikata took another cigarette out of the cigarette case and lit it.

When he came to Edo and established the Shinsengumi with his former teachers, brothers and friends, he had already made up his mind to die one day.Since one day he will die with the Saber, it is better not to delay those good girls.

|||

The next day, they finally got what the man with the camera did. The next day, the page title of the Edo Daily News was like this: Shinsengumi Deputy Chief Hijikata Shiroro suspected of being an underage female student at the night party ○○ club ...

At the corner of the newspaper was a photo: Toshiro Hijikata in police uniform, smoking a cigarette, standing at the entrance of the neon-colored club.A young woman in a sailor suit is talking to him, and the scene looks very delicate.

Fortunately, the angle was limited, Yizhen was hidden behind Quan in the first phase, and did not enter the photo.Otherwise, Quan could think of the headlines that the newspaper editors are getting more and more imaginative, such as "mysterious transaction", "exchange of weapons and beauty", "lifting the ban on knives?!"... and other weird things.

spring:? ? ?

Earthwork:? ? ?

Emperor Quan was wronged.

She is not only an adult, but also a real centenarian.Just because she works in a schoolgirl-themed club, you can't think that an old lady like her is an underage! !

Hijikata Toshiro was even more aggrieved.

He just stood at the door of the store and chatted with the criminals with real knives about security issues, and it turned out to be what the newspaper said.

He could have wished he had hacked up the entire newspaper editorial office with a knife to show them why mayonnaise tasted so good.

Since then, I don't know what kind of powerful people the Shinsengumi got into. Many small reporters came to the club to meet her in order to interview the "Secrets of the Vice President of the Shinsengumi".The owner of the club couldn't bear the frequent harassment of the young reporters, and after a month, Quan was fired.

Quan took his one month's salary, looking around in a daze.

—Has she lost her job again? !Because of Toshiro Hijikata? !

This cannot be tolerated.

This is absolutely intolerable.

On the first morning when she lost her job, she knocked on the wooden door of the Shinsengumi's settlement. Facing the sleepy eyes of the team members, she asked to see Toshiro Hijikata.

The team members led her to the front of the earthwork.

Hijikata also just woke up, wearing pajamas, haori, messy hair, and unshaven beard on his face, looking like he just crawled out of the bed.

Hearing the news of Quan's dismissal, Hijikata was shocked and felt a little guilty.He turned back and took out two bottles of mayonnaise and handed them to Quan: "This is my compensation."

spring:……

#Who wants compensation like mayonnaise! ! #

"Instead of giving me things like mayonnaise, it's better to give me a job." She said very seriously: "Mr. Hijikata, I'm good at swordsmanship, and..."

"I can't let you come to the Shinsengumi." Hijikata pulled off the haori, shook, and began to fumble around for lighters and cigarette cases: "In Edo, only the Shinsengumi can legally wear a sword, and it's useless if you are good at swordsmanship." The place of martial arts, unless you go to the dojo to play with those wooden toys."

"Mr. Hijikata, please listen to me." Izumi touched the ground with his hands and bent down respectfully: "I am also good at one other thing... Have you forgotten what occupation I was doing before I came to Edo?"

Tufang froze and forgot to light the cigarette, so he smoked dryly.

——If I remember correctly, Kazu was a wandering girl before she came to Edo.

"You..." Tufang rubbed his drooping bangs, his eyes were dead: "You don't want someone from the Metropolitan Police Department to help you find customers? That's impossible. To be honest, such a business Let’s just give up. Why don’t you try another job if you have hands and feet?”

spring:? ?

She tilted her head with an extremely pure expression: "Mr. Hijikata, I was a clerk in a toy store when I was in Yoshiwara. Is there any problem?"

Earthwork: ...

She was right! !

After the death of Ye Wang Fengxian, Yoshihara changed a lot. The former Flower Street and Liu Lane became a variety of themed stores, convenience stores, and coffee shops, and the girls went to work in the newly opened shops to make money.Before coming to Edo, Kato seems to be a clerk in Yoshiwara's toy store...

Toshiro Hijikata immediately wanted to beat himself up with mayonnaise.

"But," the girl still wearing the club's student uniform raised her head, showing a gentle smile, "If Mr. Hijikata prefers me to be a playgirl, I don't mind. A playgirl with a sword sounds like a Rare. Rare is more expensive, maybe I can make a lot of money."

Tufang's brows twitched, and his face became irritable.

"no!"

"what?"

Tufang was so excited that he almost burned his hair with the cigarette butt.He brushed off the flying cigarette ash, and said sternly, "Anyway, you can't. If you really want a job, I'll find it for you..."

"If you only serve Mr. Hijikata, it is also feasible." She suddenly threw a bomb.

"..." Tu Fang choked suddenly, hesitating endlessly.

He hesitated.

After a long time, Tufang exhaled and said, "Forget it. A man like me may die one day. If you follow me, you will just waste your youth and get nothing."

spring:?

Do not?

No?

Did Toshiro Hijikata think too far?

She just said that she could work for the earthworker, but the earthworker seemed to think that she was going to spend the rest of her life with the earthworker?

"That's not what I meant." She smiled softly: "I didn't think about living with Mr. Hijikata. 'Make a small profit and leave', that's what I thought. Running errands, cooking, taking care of life , there is nothing I am not good at.”

Her gentle smile fell on the morning light, very dazzling.

Toshiro Hijikata was a little moved.

He thought of the actions he did when he saw Xiangdu in men's clothing for the first time, the soft and plump touch under his palms at that time, and now it suddenly appeared in his mind.This memory was like a catalyst, making him put out his cigarette immediately, and he agreed without saying a word.

"that's it!"

"So, let's start with a good morning kiss, shall we?"

|||

This morning, Sougo Okita set up a mysterious cannon outside Toshiro Hijikata's room, watched for a long time, and was very eager to use a cannon to blast Hijikata who had just woken up into the sky.In this way, the position of Deputy Chief of the Shinsengumi belongs to Okita.

It's a pity that the earthworker was absent from work for less than half the morning.

Okita Sougo, he couldn't wait for Hijikata Toshiro.

The author has something to say: Everyone knows that, recently, things are very strict, the scope is quite large, and there are news everywhere, so I don’t need to say more.

So this article is coming to an end_(:зゝ∠)_50w+ is quite huge... emmmmm
