Chapter 40 Edogawa Period (16)

Officer Twelve smiled.

The player thought that the place to watch the fireworks would be in the market, but unexpectedly Souji Okita took her to the quiet river next to the market.

"Sorry, Twelve, there are a lot of people in the market."

General Okita scratched his cheek with an embarrassed look on his face, while Officer Twelve shook his head.

She knew the identity of Okita Souji, and at such a critical moment, if he went to the market it would be easy to attract assassination, and she did not want Okita Souji to be in danger.

The two of them were sitting by the creek. General Okita said that this place was a good time to watch fireworks, and it was the place where Nagakura Shinpachi was discovered. When Officer Twelve heard Nagakura Shinpachi's name, he couldn't help but ask:

"Then where did Mr. Nagakura and the others go?"

".They have something." Okita Souji was silent for a moment, and then gave this vague answer.

But the players already knew in their hearts that Nagakura Shinpachi and the others were going to kill their enemies. On this festive New Year's Day, they still couldn't rest.

"Then, is it okay with you?" The player suddenly thought of Okita Souji as the captain of the team. Now he is sitting here watching the fireworks with her and not participating in group activities. Is it considered that he is not doing his job properly?

"It doesn't matter, it was requested by Deputy Chief Hijikata." Souji Okita smiled, and he secretly touched the Kikuichi Mononori Mune on his waist, looking a little lonely.

Guan Twelve suddenly thought that Hijikata Toshizo and the others already knew about Okita Souji's physical condition. Although she tried her best to prevent Hijikata Toshizo from letting Okita Souji withdraw from the operation, now Hijikata Toshizo has not let Okita Souji participate in the operation.

This shows that Okita Souji's condition has worsened again.

After all, Okita Souji was sent to Oita in 1867, so it should have been two years.

Okita Souji's health shouldn't be that bad.

"Twelve? Twelve?"

When Guan Twelve came to his senses, Chief Okita asked what happened to Guan Twelve. The player shook his head.

At this time, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and a silver light pierced the sky disappeared into the night, and then turned into a huge colorful fireworks blooming in the sky!

One after another, various fireworks lit up the night, bringing a short but brilliant light in this endless night!

"The fireworks are so beautiful." Souji Okita next to Guan Twelve suddenly exclaimed.

"It would be great if the fireworks that can ignite the night can always exist." Okita Souji seemed to be talking to the player, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Fireworks?

Officer Twelve raised his head to look at the fireworks, then looked at Chief Okita.

Did he lead himself into fireworks?

"Fireworks are beautiful, but they are fleeting. It is never the fireworks that can ignite the darkness, but the stars in the dark night." Guan Twelve pointed to the faint light in the sky that had been drowned by the light of the fireworks.

"People will not be afraid of the dark night because they are accompanied by stars. In this way, no matter how dark the night is, there will be a faint light to soothe the fear of the night." Guan Twelve said, turning his head and looking at Mr. Okita with a smile.

Si, she said:

"So, don't be afraid, Chief, you are not the fleeting fireworks, but the eternal starlight."

The girl under the fireworks smiled more brilliantly than the fireworks. She said that he was the star in the night, the one that never changes, the one that illuminates the dark night.

In his heart, what's wrong with a girl?

Still the most beautiful and brightest one.

"Thank you twelve." Souji Okita smiled, a pure and gentle smile.

The two of them were sitting on the grass by the lake far away from the crowd, watching the fireworks in the sky. Even though the two of them were not cuddling tightly or even holding hands, they could both feel the tenderness.

After the New Year, Okita Souji became busy and rarely met with players, but Okita Souji's letters were sent every day, writing about the happy things he encountered.

For example, it was discovered that the Mitsui team member was keeping a mistress without telling his wife. A love poem written by Deputy Commander Hijikata to a woman was discovered and read aloud, making Deputy Commander Hijikata angry and looking for the guy who stole his love poem. As for the war, he said nothing about it.

Not mentioned.

He didn't talk about the players or ask about them, and the letters he replied were about interesting things in her life, such as the neighbor's geisha beating a customer because the customer was rude, the 60-year-old woman selling vegetables in the street next door won her second love again, and was raped by a mistress

Ten year old man pursues.

It was a trivial matter that was commonplace to gossip about, but neither of them found it boring, instead they found it amusing.

The previous ambiguous relationship between the two people was known to the entire Flower Street, but Souji Okita never stated that he wanted to marry Kanji Twelve, and this matter was also spread in Flower Street.

Even Kan Twelve's colleagues secretly asked Kan Twelve if Souji Okita would marry her.

Guan Twelve just shook his head.

Okita Souji will not marry her, he will not marry anyone, just like the player will not marry Okita Souji.

Guan Twelve clearly knew that his feelings for Okita Souji were only the sympathy of a fellow sufferer rather than the love between a man and a woman.

She just sympathized with this young man who suffered from an incurable disease like herself. She felt sorry that he could only live to the age of 26, and at the same time she felt sorry for herself because she was too poor to cure her own disease.

She admired Okita Souji because his life was brilliant and splendid. When he knew that he would not live long, he did not despair. Instead, he wanted to work hard for his beloved kendo at the last moment.

She respected and loved this young man who worked hard to live.

Just like she loves herself who works hard to live.

Okita Souji has been practicing all his life. He is an excellent samurai. He has studied swordsmanship all his life and will not be held back by the love between men and women.

He clearly knows that his life is passing by, and as gentle as he is, he will not ruin a woman's life for his own selfish desires, so he will only devote all the remaining time to the Shinsengumi.

And it happened that Guan Twelve also knew this, so the two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention falling in love, establishing a relationship, or getting married.

When it comes to the relationship between two people, Guan Twelve would only say that the two are close friends, not lovers.

I won’t explain the ridicule officer Twelve, because those are unnecessary things, and players who are teased by NPC will not care.

Obviously Okita Souji also knew this, so when Nagakura Shinpachi and the others teased him, Okita Souji would just laugh it off, but when he explained their relationship.

Will be friends instead.

This answer quickly aroused dissatisfaction from others, especially Nagakura Shinpachi, who thought the two would become husband and wife. He looked at Okita Souji in disbelief and asked:

"Friend?! You two were dating every day, and she made you pear porridge! What kind of pear cream did you make? You stayed up all night to fix her headdress! You gave her a kimono! The two of you held hands and spent the New Year alone, but you told me that you were just friends?

!”

Seeing Nagakura Shinpachi being so excited, Okita Souji felt a little ashamed, but he still nodded truthfully.

Yes, the relationship is made clear.

Like I said before, they didn't have any male-female emotions before.

Moreover, it is impossible for players to interact with NPCs.
