Inquisitor's Melancholy

"Li Xian, these have to be copied a hundred times."

Li Xian was still silently writing phrases, and Hijikata Toshisan moved a pile of books from the side, and placed them heavily on the table. Through the sunlight, Li Xian could even see fine dust rising up and rushing towards him.

Calmly leaning back on the back of the chair, Reishen waited until the thin layer of dust had dissipated before he straightened his chest, raised his black pupils and looked at Toshizo Hijikata.

Seeing his puzzled look, Hijikata Toshizo paused, thinking that Lixian didn't understand his words, "Don't you understand? This, copy it, a hundred times."

Hijikata Toshizo began to speak slowly and "considerately", and pointed to the pile of books in front of him.Li Xian also let out a long sigh after making sure he had heard correctly. He took out the book placed on the top and opened it to read.

""Feng Yu's Haiku Collection"?...We know each other relatively. It is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. It reflects the heart... Heh, this author named Feng Yu wrote very good haiku, and the words are also very beautiful."

"Really?" Hijikata Toshisan approached him and asked, seemingly pleasantly surprised, upon hearing Rixian's praise.His sudden reaction made Lixian feel a little surprised. As far as he knew, Hijikata Toshisan was an overly serious person, in other words, he was really serious. Such a lively and cheerful performance had never appeared before.

"...What, no... I like his haiku too."

Responding to something, Hijikata Toshisan turned his face away, with his slender ponytail resting on his shoulders, a slight blush on his cheeks could be vaguely seen.

Reiko is clear, Hijikata Toshizo, this is probably the feeling of "Amway" his idol has succeeded?

Li Xian is somewhat interested in someone who can be appreciated by Hijikata Toshizo.Fengyu... Fengyu?It sounded familiar, but Li Xian still couldn't remember who this person was.

"Cough...cough cough." Seeing Li Xian meditating with the book in his hand, Hijikata Toishan coughed a few times, then suddenly took the book from his hand, opened a page, and laid it flat in front of Li Xian, "Since you can understand it, then copy it first. After you copy it a hundred times, you will definitely know our language."

"Mr. Hijikata is really not a good teacher."

Li Xian pouted, if learning is really that simple, what else do you need "× Year × ×, × Year Simulation" for?However, Rezuru didn't expect Hijikata Toshizo to teach him anything, so he only said so, but he acted obediently and carefully copied the Chinese characters in the haiku collection.

"The so-called master leads the door, the practice is up to the individual, and you have to work hard yourself." Faced with Rixian's complaints, Hijikata Toshizo didn't feel displeased. Instead, he had a good impression of him humbly copying the haiku.

Hijikata Toshizo doesn't dislike people who work hard.

"Deputy Chief, Director Kondo has something important to discuss with you."

At this moment, a young team member walked in at the door and said to Hijikata Toshizo.Hijikata Toshisan's originally relaxed expression immediately became tense. He glanced at Lixian, and followed the young team member out without saying a word.

After Hijikata Toishan left, Li Xian was still copying the text calmly.According to his guess, the summoning of Hijikata Toshizo by Isamu Kondo this time should be due to the fact that he received a report from the review of Ikedaya.

Soon, he will meet his men of swords.

Suddenly, a trifling sound interrupted Li Xian's thoughts. He looked up, only to find a few seductively lustrous fruits trembling slightly on the table in front of him, apparently someone let them in through the window. Li Xian looked towards the window.Sure enough, Mr. Okita's magnified smiling face was extraordinarily bright against the sunlight.

"Delicious fruit, please eat."

Director Okita pointed to the fruits on the table with the hilt of his sword. Those were picked by him when he went to exercise in the mountains and forests early in the morning. They tasted very sweet, so he thought of giving Li Xian a taste too.

"Thank you, but I'm still finishing the homework assigned by Mr. Hijikata, let's eat later."

Li Xian has a relatively good habit of finishing the task at hand before moving on to the next task. Of course, this only applies to leisure time, and other times should be done according to priorities.

"Operation?"

Hearing what Li Xian said, Director Okita tilted his head suspiciously, leaning his cute face on the hilt of the sword in his arms, then he let go of the sword, put his right hand on the window frame, and jumped in directly, with very light movements .The cat walked over to Retsuru's side, and Souji Okita leaned over to read the "Toyotama Haiku Collection" that Reiko had copied.

"The ink inkstone is at hand, and I suddenly recalled that during the night war in the past, Chunshan was like this... Hey! This sour sentence... But I didn't expect Mr. Hijikata to be willing to take out this book for you. Normally, I would not let you touch it. of."

Okita Souji touched his nose in dissatisfaction, and put down the book.

"After all, this is Mr. Hijikata's favorite author." Recalling his shy look before Toshizo Hijikata, Li Xian replied smoothly.

"Huh...? Favorite author? Fengyu is... um...? I'll stop talking about it, some secrets are only interesting if you discover them yourself, hahaha." Souji Okita laughed heartily, and then he grabbed Ritsu Xian's sleeves, "Hey, stop writing, come and practice swords with me?"

Maybe Okita Souji himself didn't realize that there was a bit of coquettishness in his tone. Okita Souji was not very old, and unlike Hijikata Toshizo who was responsible for all the Shinsengumi, Okita Souji's life was more wanton, so he raised Became this naive temper.

In the face of unfamiliar people, Okita Souji may appear a little indifferent, but once he let go of his guard against people, he will become a little clingy like now.

Being pulled by his sleeve by Souji Okita, Rexian remembered that the boy who looked similar to him seemed to have asked him to practice sword with him in the same way, and he also said that he quarreled with the stingy California Qingguang because he ate an extra piece of mung bean cake. If you don't want to compete with him or something, you still have a good relationship with California Kiyomitsu.

It's just that I don't know where that boy, Na Zhendaojian is now.

"Okay, let's go to the gym."

Li Xian put down his pen, tidied up the books on the table, and then walked to the gym with Souji Okita. He didn't think that he would be able to hide his knowledge of swordsmanship from Souji Okita, who was the number one swordsman in the Shinsengumi, so he also I readily agreed.

"Good~"

When Okita Souji and Reixian came to the gym, they heard a commotion, and vaguely heard a woman's voice, "I want to see Okita-kun, please, please tell me where he is."

"What's the matter? What are you guys doing together?" Okita Souji asked.

Hearing his voice, a beautiful girl emerged from the crowd. When she saw Okita Souji, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were full of moving light. She trotted all the way to Okita Souji, "Okita-kun, you Come, I miss you so much."

Li Xian, who was standing next to Okita Souji, felt that he was a bit redundant. Even though he didn't know much about this aspect, he could see the girl's reluctance to speak, and probably knew that she was pleasing to Okita Souji. It's fine not to bother.

Li Xian was about to go to the side, but was grabbed by Mr. Okita, who gave Li Xian a glance, and then introduced: "This is the adopted daughter of Mr. Kondo, who often comes to the gym to help clean and clean. Lixian, do you know him too?"

Lixian thought in his heart, "Why do I want to know her?", but on the surface he greeted politely: "My lord, Lixian, you are such a lovely girl."

"Okay, Li Xian, let's practice swords!"

After seeing Li Xian finished speaking, Okita Souji couldn't wait to grab Li Xian's shoulders and push him into the gym.

"Okita-kun! You clearly know that I like you! Why...why do you keep rejecting me?"

The girl's heart was stabbed indifferently, her eyes were red and swollen, she tried not to let the tears fall, and loudly questioned Souji Okita.

Li Xian felt that the hand placed by Okita Souji on his shoulder was a little stiff, and then his cold voice came from behind, "I'm still practicing..."

"you……!"

The shame of being rejected in public made the girl cry and run away. Seeing her crumbling figure stepping out of the threshold, Li Xian said, "Is this really okay?"

"She won't come to me again, right?...It's good." Okita Souji laughed, his hand that was originally on Lixian's shoulder dropped, and his whole body was pressed against Lixian's back , seems to be a little tired.Lixian also stood still, letting Okita Souji rely on him. Okita Souji is not an ignorant person, he is also an adult, and he still has certain needs.

But Okita Souji rejected all the women who approached him.

Rexian doesn't think he is a heartless person, probably because Okita Souji realizes his destiny as a samurai and cannot afford any woman's life, right?

"Boss."

Because Okita Souji is younger than Reixian, so it won't be awkward for him to call him such an intimate name. In fact, the only people who can call Okita Souji "Xiao Zong" are his two older sisters. Kondo Isamu and Hijikata Toshizo will directly call "Sousei", while others will call "Okita-kun."

Hearing this long-lost address, Director Okita was a little surprised, and then he heard Lixian's voice came clearly and calmly, "A person will be lonely. If you can, why don't you find someone who is destined? Regardless of the past and the future Yes, just cherish the moment."

Souji Okita never loved anyone in his whole life, and he just died so lonely. Reishen closed his eyes, he couldn't change the history that Souji Okita would die, but to this extent, it's okay... Rexian The hands hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly.

"A predestined person...? What about boring words, if that's the case, it would be fun to be with Li Xian. By the way, have you seen the cherry blossoms? It's a pity that the cherry blossoms have withered at this time , next year, shall we watch the cherry blossoms together?"

Director Okita let go of his hands, and walked around in front of Lixian, with his hands clasped behind his back, leaning his body with a sunny smile, seeing that Lixian didn't respond, he said with some disappointment: "Ah, you listened again I don't understand what I'm saying."

"I said, next year, let's watch the cherry blossoms together!"

The author has something to say:

Temporarily decided to increase the length, this volume I want to write about the general director, how can he be so good~
