Chapter 42 The Edogawa Era 18
Chapter 42 Edogawa Period (18)
"No, I'm not sure if you put anything strange in the gun."
The player was disgusted, and then she saw that the guy opposite actually took out a second listening device from the pistol she had just thrown away.
Officer Twelve:...Gan! Her guess was indeed right!
"You are so smart, Twelve!" The pastor praised generously, and then shook his head sadly:
"What a pity. It would be better if you didn't fall in love."
"...please go out and thank you!"
After driving away the priest, Guan Twelve began to live a peaceful life again, but it was not peaceful for the Shinsengumi.
On March 10, the Shinsengumi moved to Nishikihara-ji Temple. Souji Okita also wrote a letter to Kan Twelve specifically, telling her that she would be very busy in the future and might not be able to continue writing to her.
Er said he understood and asked Okita Souji to pay attention to safety.
After that, General Secretary Okita did not write to Guan Twelve for half a year.
It was even rumored that General Okita had abandoned Kan Twelve.
The player didn't care about this and just kept doing her job. This period was very turbulent, coupled with the relationship between her and Okita Souji.
There were a lot of troubles in the Hanazakaya family, and of course they were all chased away by the players. Only then did they discover that this seemingly delicate oriental dancer could actually use a samurai sword, and her sword skills were extraordinary.
Knowing that if he stayed here any longer, he would cause trouble to the people of the Hanajiya family. Kan Twelve voluntarily quit his job and stayed away from the crowd. He rented a small apartment in Osaka with his own savings and the money given by Hanajiya's mother to express his guilt.
Building a house, growing flowers, and selling flowers are not easy to make money in this turbulent era.
However, the player is good-looking, which attracts many admiring warriors and wealthy officials to buy flowers, but the purpose is also to woo her.
For these people, Guan Twelve raised the price of the flowers and asked them to buy them back at a huge price. As for the courting Guan Twelve, they all refused to say that she was married, but her husband was killed, but she had no intention of remarrying.
As soon as this news came out, Guan Twelve suddenly got the title of beautiful and infatuated flower girl.
For a time, the number of buyers of Guan Twelve Flowers changed from men to both men and women, and girls all came to listen to the touching love story compiled by Guan Twelve.
Hearing the crying behind him, he felt sorry for Guan Twelve and bought two more flowers.
Official Twelve: ...It doesn’t matter, as long as you can make more money.
Kan Twelve told Souji Okita about leaving the Hanazakaya. Souji Okita expressed his understanding and said that he would go to Osaka after settling the matter here.
Official Twelve knew that Okita Souji was escorted to Osaka two years later because of tuberculosis.
That's why she chose this place.
As for the pastor, she didn't care at all.
The two have always exchanged letters, but it is a pity that they did not spend the New Year together this time.
But Souji Okita still sent a letter to Kan Twelve wishing her a happy new year:
Happy New Year to the stars that are brighter than fireworks.
Of course, Guan Twelve also sent a letter:
Happy New Year, eternal stars.
The new year has arrived, and the player knows that the death of Souji Okita is one step closer. She can do nothing but send more pear cream to him.
Although Okita Souji never stated his physical condition in his letter, Guan Twelve knew his current situation.
But she didn't ask any more questions. She just sent more snow pears and more snow pear cream, and she could only give more snow pears and more snow pear cream.
The situation on the Shinsengumi side is not optimistic.
With the death of Sanjuro Hase of the 7th Division due to illness, the relationship between the Shinsengumi and the fallen faction has become increasingly stalemate.
It made the surrounding residents panic.
Seeing them all taking a detour, even the child who delivered the letter ran away after delivering the letter.
Looking at the kid's running back, Souji Okita smiled bitterly, he must have become a son of a ghost now.
"Ah! Is it another letter from Miss Twelve?" Taro Ito Koshiko from the team happened to be passing by and came over.
The affair between the Shinsengumi second division commander Okita Souji and Oriental Maiden Twelve has long been no secret within the group. Even though the two are now in different places, they still exchange letters constantly, but there is no clear relationship between the two.
This left many people on the team scratching their heads.
But this doesn’t stop them from teasing this young captain!
"Yes." Souji Okita looked at the letter and then at the box that came with the letter. If nothing else, there must be pear cream inside.
Souji Okita opened it and saw what was inside, well, it was indeed snow pear cream again.
"Miss Twelve is very good to you." Looking at the contents, Ito Koshitaro also knew that this was something developed by Miss Twelve herself. It was very effective in relieving coughs. Okita Souji, who had been drinking it, did indeed cough.
The number of battles has been reduced, otherwise Deputy Chief Hijikata would not agree to Chief Okita’s request to continue fighting.
Souji Okita smiled undeniably.
"Then why don't you date her?" Ito Koshitaro, who didn't know the relationship between Okita Souji and Twelve, asked curiously.
"Because I am still practicing." Souji Okita left these words and left.
Ito Koshitaro was left with a puzzled look on his face.
Chief Okita did not expect that Taro Ito Koshiko would be executed on December 13!
Afterwards, General Secretary Okita became even busier.
Being busy meant that he had no time to write to Guan Twelve.
Kan Twelve, who had never received a letter from Chief Okita, counted the days and knew that the time was coming.
I simply didn’t send the pear paste as a gift. Anyway, Okita Souji didn’t have time to eat it, so he just kept it at home.
Then in 1867, an unexpected guest came to Guan Twelve's house. It was a winter morning. When Guan Twelve opened the door, he saw a familiar figure. She smiled and said hello: "Deputy Chief Hijikata."
Yes, it was Hijikata Toshizo. He looked at the girl in front of him indifferently. She was almost the same as two years ago. She was still as beautiful, and her headdress was still the wisteria with cherry blossoms decorated by Okita Souji himself.
"The director-general was escorted here."
Hijikata Toshizo went straight to the topic.
"Really? Where is it? My house is about to expire, do you mind if I move there?" Guan Twelve smiled brighter than flowers.
Looking at the player's bright and innocent smile, Hijikata Toizo's cold question made the player's smile freeze: "Did you already know that Souji was back?"
So you fled to Osaka and waited for him here?
"How is that possible? Does Deputy Chief Hijikata think I am some kind of god?" Kan Twelve's smile froze, she smoothed the corners of her mouth, looked at Hijikata Toshizo with a gentle face, and asked.
This question really bothered Toshizo Hijikata. Indeed, the girl in front of her was not a god. How did she know that Souji Okita would come back here two years later?
However, in his heart, he felt that the girl in front of him was unusual, and there was a sense of... dissonance.
The smart Hijikata Toizan couldn't think of the player even if he tried hard.
