At first glance, it looks more like an ugly piece of meat hanging on the left and right sides of the head.

Even if he wears a loose kimono, he can't hide the muscles all over his body.

With a bear-like stature and stern facial features... just standing there can stop the enemy and "stop the fight."

When he first met Tokawa Tomoge, Aoden once extended an invitation to him for a sparring match.

Firstly, I wanted to personally test his strength and see how much this friend of Boss Kiryu weighs and whether he can shoulder the important task of "protecting the Angoulême family".

The second is to grab some talent.

Unexpectedly, compared with his intimidating and fierce appearance, this man was unexpectedly a "pacifist".

"I'm sorry, I don't like to argue with others unless necessary."

In this way, he declined Qingdeng's invitation to fight, which made Qingdeng very regretful.

Overall, judging from his current performance, he is indeed a qualified bodyguard and he has performed his "guarding" duties well.

The mansion that Boss Kiryu arranged for the Angoulême family is very particular.

It is located exactly at the junction of a "T" intersection.

If you want to get close to the mansion, there is no other way except the three "T"-shaped roads.

As long as you look from the highest point (attic) of the mansion, these three roads are in front of you and are completely within the surveillance range.

Under normal circumstances, Tokawa Tomomo would hide in the attic, closely monitoring the surroundings of the mansion from a high position, and be wary of strangers approaching.

Even at night.

He has the ability to "sleep with one eye open".

Even in the dead of night, he still stayed in the attic, sticking to his post with determination.

Only occasionally—such as when Qingdeng comes to visit—will he leave the attic briefly and accompany Anthony to greet Qingdeng.

Moreover, what is very commendable is that he is very good at hiding his aura.

Unless Anthony and others took the initiative to talk to him, he would never speak more than a word and kept his mouth tightly shut.

In terms of reticence alone, he is comparable to Saito Ichi.

Just because Tokawa Toramo was too quiet and lacked a sense of presence, many times, Anthony and others even forgot about the existence of such a bodyguard.

It is not difficult to see that he is quite familiar with the job of "bodyguard". He is simply the "innate bodyguard body"!

…

…

The Angoulême family's mansion, the hall——

"Mr. Angoulême, I have a very important matter that I would like to discuss with you in detail."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Qingdeng said this to Anthony with a serious face.

When Anthony heard this, although he was surprised, he still nodded solemnly:

"Then let's go to the lobby."

Tokawa Toramo and the maid Leroy consciously stepped back to make room for conversation.

In the huge hall, only Anthony and Elodie, who were sitting at the front seat, and Qingto and Mai Kinoshita, who were sitting opposite them, were left.

"Monsieur Angoulême, I will speak frankly."

Qingdeng started the topic directly, and then quickly raised his voice.

"Please let Elodie become a member of my Shinsengumi!"

"The position of director of the Finance Office belongs to her!"

Anthony: "..."

Elodie: "..."

Kinoshita Mai: "..."

Qingdeng's words were like applying "silence magic" to the scene.

Both the grandfather and grandson, as well as Kinoshita Mai, all had shocked expressions on their faces at this time: "Ah? What are you talking about?"

Qingdeng had already predicted that they would react like this, so he started to explain slowly.

Professional and mature accounting skills, mental arithmetic ability that "knows the answer at a glance"... With such extraordinary talents, he is truly a rare talent!

Wouldn't it be a waste of resources if we didn't call her as the head of the Shinsengumi?

After discovering Elodie's outstanding talents, Qingden wanted to offer her an olive branch on the spot.

But considering such an important matter, it was impossible not to seek the consent of the guardian (Anthony).

So I can only endure it for the time being and wait until I see Anthony before "showing off".

The importance of the position of director cannot be overstated no matter how harsh words are used to describe it.

The Shinsengumi's logistics supplies are all dispatched by him.

In addition, as Qinjin Fan's "grand construction of the vassal state" gradually unfolds, the chief of staff must be deeply involved in it.

In a nutshell, the head of the room = the logistics team leader of the Shinsengumi + the financial steward of the Qinjin clan.

In such an important position, there must not be any mistakes.

If you try to trick someone easily, you might be able to cause big troubles in the future.

You must not only have extraordinary talents, but also be trustworthy... Combining these two factors, Elodie is really the best candidate!

Don't think about anyone but her!

Suddenly taking over the logistics work of such a large-scale military group, she will definitely be in a hurry due to lack of experience.

However, Qingdeng believes that with her talents, she will be able to adapt quickly and grow rapidly!

Although Qingdeng spoke very sincerely, as sincerely as if he was asking Anthony to betroth Elodie to him, as soon as he finished speaking, Anthony retorted emotionally:

"No! No, no, no!"

He waved his hands wildly, making a shadow of his palms, and a panicked look appeared on his cheeks.

"I don't allow it!"

"Elodie is just a child!"

"How can she be the head of the Shinsengumi?"

"And, and... Elodie... Elodie is a Westerner..."

The further Anthony spoke, the weaker his tone became.

"As a Westerner, how can I show my face in Kyoto?"

After saying that, he sighed softly.

Immediately afterwards, Elodie beside him slowly lowered his head, his eyes dimmed slightly, and his expression was depressed.

Although the forces of the Zunban faction have been cleared out of Kyoto and the Zunban movement has fallen into a low ebb, the madness and murderousness of those "Zunban people" are still vivid in our minds...

Qingdeng had already been mentally prepared for Anthony's fierce opposition.

He straightened his back and was about to reply.

But who would have thought that before he opened his mouth, a light female voice suddenly sounded:

"…Grandpa." (French)

Elodie, who had her head buried just now, suddenly raised her head, looked up, and cast a firm look at her grandfather.

"I want to try it." (French)

Anthony's eyes widened:

"What did you say?" (French)

Elodie put on a firm tone and said word by word:

"I want to be the head of the Shinsengumi!"

"I think...this is a good opportunity!"

"A chance to prove to the world that we are not Yidis!" (French)
