Isamu Kondo raised his eyebrows, then smiled calmly.

A look of helplessness appeared on Souji's cheeks: "Ah, as expected..."

Toshizo Hijikata felt the gaze of Genzaburo Inoue.

He turned his head, and then received Genzaburo Inoue's eyes asking: Hijikata-kun, this sword...

Okay, as long as we know it, don't say it out loud - Hijikata Toshizo said with his eyes.

Isamu Kondo held the "Toratetsu" in his hand, with a face filled with emotion:

"Brother, it cost you money..."

"Hahahaha, Ah Sheng, accept it with peace of mind! This is a little bit of my thoughts!"

Mother-in-law - this word is insulated from Isamu Kondo.

Since his brother said so, he no longer hesitated.

With a bang, he put the "Tiger Che" back into its sheath, and then hugged the knife tightly to his chest.

"Brother, thank you!"

Miyagawa Otongoro nodded with a satisfied smile on his face.

"A Sheng, you must use this tiger to make a name for yourself!"

"Yes! I will!"

…

…

"Okay, the knife has been delivered, it's time for me to go back!" - After handing Kotetsu safely into his younger brother's hands, Miyagawa Otongoro was ready to go home.

Isamu Kondo tried his best to retain him.

"Brother, at least stay for dinner before leaving."

"No, I still have a lot of important things to do at home."

Miyagawa Otogoro had decided to leave, but Kondo Isamu couldn't resist him, so he had to get up and see him off.

He led the general manager and others to send Miyagawa Otogorō out of the entrance hall, and then stood outside the gate of the imperial examination hall, watching his departure.

After the steady and powerful footsteps dissipated into the distance, Hijikata Toshizo scratched his hair and let out a long sigh.

"...A Sheng, your brother has been deceived. There is no way Nagaso Ni Kotetsu could have bought it with just 50 taels of gold. It cost 1,200 taels at least. If it were the first generation Kotetsu, it would cost 500 taels.

It’s not impossible.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief commander flattened his red lips, put his hands on his hips, and retorted angrily:

"Mr. Hijikata, although this knife is a fake, its quality is not bad! It deserves the high price of 50 taels, so Mr. Miyagawa is not cheated!"

Hijikata Toisho squinted his eyes and glanced at the general manager.

"The quality of this knife is indeed pretty good, but it's not the real Kotetsu after all!"

"'The director of the Shinsengumi, the sword used by the fourth generation head of the natural Rishin-ryu clan is a fake' - if this spreads, not only will Asuka be embarrassed, but even the reputation of the Shinsengumi will be affected."

"Xiaoji, you don't want to see the Shinsengumi that Tachibana worked so hard to create be disturbed by avoidable rumors, right?"

Everyone present knew Souji's true gender, so Hijikata Toshizo directly called Souji by his real name: "tsukasa-chan".

Toshizo Hijikata was worthy of being the "military talent most skilled in the use of troops in the Shinsengumi" appointed by Aoto. He deliberately used Aoto's name to suppress the Souji.

The effect was extraordinary - the general manager was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

At this time, Kondo Isamu turned around, helplessly looking at the young man and woman who looked like brothers and sisters, and interjected:

"Okay, you two, stop arguing. I want to cherish my brother's feelings. From now on, this 'Kotetsu' will be my new sword!"

Hijikata Toisan heard this and said quickly:

"A Sheng, what are you talking about? You should use a better and more powerful sword instead of hanging a fake one on your waist!"

Kondo Isamu changed into a firm tone without showing any signs of weakness:

"I will regard this as the real Kotetsu! Moreover, as Xiaosi said just now, although this knife is a fake, the quality is really high and it is worthy of the high price of 50 taels of gold."

After that, he put the "Toratsu" in his hand on his shoulder and strode back into the house.

Hijikata Toizan stared blankly at Kondo Isamu's broad back, gritted his teeth, and took three steps at a time to catch up with him.

Souji and Genzaburo Inoue followed suit.

Souji, who was walking at the end, had just closed the door——

Knock knock knock!

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Huh? Who is it? Did Brother Miyagawa miss something?"

The Souji muttered and turned back to the entrance.

When she opened the door again, what caught her eye was not the big and honest face of Miyagawa Otogorō, but two beautiful figures.

"Eh? Miss Sanako? Miss Kinoshita?"

Looking at Sanako and Mai Kinoshita, one blue and one red, standing side by side, Souji's expression was filled with intense surprise.

"General Secretary, Gui'an, where is Mr. Tachibana?"

"Okita-kun, good afternoon, where is Aoto?"

The two women asked in unison.

"Tachibana-kun, he went out. He said he was going to pick up something from Mr. Katsurin Taro."

After saying that, the director carefully raised his gaze and looked at the two girls quietly.

Sanako and Mai Kinoshita both looked expressionless and indifferent, just like the puppets in Joruri Bunraku puppet show.

Although Souji couldn't explain it, she just felt that the two women were weird...it seemed like there was an extremely murderous aura emanating from their bodies...

At this moment... the man's voice suddenly sounded:

"Huh? Sanako, Awu, you are here."

"Ah, Tachibana-kun, you are back."

The general manager looked around - Qingdeng, who was carrying a large, heavy-looking cloth bag, was walking towards them at a rapid pace.

In an instant, Sanako and Mai Kinoshita were like robots that had received instructions, turning their heads with a "swish" in uniform movements, and their sharp arrow-like gazes were directed towards Qingteng.

Every time Qingdeng takes a step, the big cloth bag behind him will make a loud metal collision sound.

"Great, it seems I'm just in time... huh? Sanako, Awu, why are you... Wow!"

Soon enough, Sanako and Mai Kinoshita took a lunge, got close to Aoto, and then punched at the same time, hitting Aoto's flanks with two pink fists, one on the left and one on the right!

With a scream of "puff", Qingden arched his waist like a shrimp, and while tightly covering the area where he was beaten, he asked aggrievedly:

"Why, why did you hit me?"

"It's nothing, I just feel unhappy."

"It's nothing, I just feel unhappy."

They all spoke in unison again.

It can be seen that the two women held back.

Otherwise, let alone Sanako, just a Mai Kinoshita who is proficient in boxing and kicking can make Qingto drink a lot.

Sanako showed a fierce expression of gritted teeth and murmured:

"A waste of my feelings...it's a shame I still expect so much..."

At the same time, Kinoshita Mai muttered with dull eyes:

"Haha... I knew... How could such a lustful Qingdeng give up his ambition of building a big family so easily... Haha... Secretly giving me Wu clothes or something, it was really my wishful thinking.

……Ha ha ha ha……"

Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a recommendation vote! (Leopard Head Cries)

Leopard Leopard rewatched the movie version of "Burn the Sword" yesterday. This movie, starring Hijikata Toshizo as the protagonist, is really too close to historical facts...all kinds of intrigues and brotherly feuds.

Fortunately, no matter what type of Shinsengumi work it is, Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata and Souji Okita will always be the three brothers (sisters) who will never betray each other.
