"That level... I'd better wait and challenge that guy..." Saito Ichi said to himself lazily.
"What's wrong? Boy Saito, are you going to give up now?" Tuya looked at Saito Ichi with a smile.
"I just don't want to ask for trouble, look at him." Saito pointed at Zuo Village who was talking to Kondo Shusuke. "It looks so harmless, but who knows that he can jump so high at once. He jumped up, how can he cut it?"
"This is what I mean..." Shimazaki Yu touched his unshaven chin and pondered, "But have you ever thought that Zuocun jumped up to mean that he became a living target? After all, he can't move in the air."
Tu Fangsui San rolled his eyes: "It's impossible to move, but can you jump up and chop him?"
"No." Shimazaki Yuu admitted it alone.
"So, I still can't cut it, that is, I will definitely lose. I'm too lazy to participate in such a duel." Saito ran away after saying this.
"What a casual guy..." Yu Shimazaki and Shizumi Toshiba looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
......
"I want to find sweet potatoes in this weather..."
There is no market today, nor is it the time when there are crowds in the evening, so there are not many residents on Edo Street.
When I was in Kurokawashita, Zuo Village lost to Okina in a bet, and the price was Zuo Village to make a chestnut golden ball for Okina.
But Zuocun walked around several times but couldn't find a seller of sweet potatoes.
No chestnuts...
After sighing, Zuocun had to buy a few more jars of wine, then a chicken, and then went back.
Okita is wielding his sword in the test hall.
Zuocun shook the snow that had fallen on his body and walked into the test guard hall.
"Ah, Zuocunjun, you are back." Miss Okita looked at Zuocun in surprise, "How about it, have you bought sweet potatoes and chestnuts?"
"Uh, I didn't buy it..." Zuocun looked a little embarrassed, "But I bought a chicken and came back."
Miss Okita's smile instantly stiffened on her face.
He quit the corner of his mouth: "It's really difficult to buy sweet potatoes this day..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely make it for you in the future." Zuocun handed the chicken to the servant of the Seiwei Pavilion, and then gently tapped Okada's head.
"Mr. Zuocun, don't go back on your word." Okita shouted at Zuocun's back.
......
The New Year is approaching.
Several people sat on the steps at the entrance of the test guard hall and looked towards Edo Castle.
"Today, there should be fireworks in Edo Castle." Shimazaki held a small plate of wine in his hand.
"It should be......" Saito Ichi looked at the wine in Shimazaki's hand.
"We should go to Sensoji Temple tomorrow." Kondo Shusuke walked out of the room with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the group of young people surrounding the door.
"We must go, after all, we have to pray for blessings during the New Year." Miss Okina sat next to Zuocun, holding the food in her hand.
Dong...
The buzzing bell came from a distance.
"Ah, it's beginning." Toshiba Suzumi looked into the distance, "The Dayu Sun Bell ringing ceremony in Sensoji Temple."
Dong...
None of the few people spoke anymore.
This bell sounds to eliminate filth and welcome the New Year.
If you listen to these 108 bells, you will be happy in the new year.
Dong...
The cold winter breeze blew slightly on the cheeks of several people, and the three drunken boys who were drunk were also a little more awake.
The monks from Sensoji Temple knocked the bell one hundred and eight.
A white bird landed on Zuocun's shoulder, as if listening to the bell.
"Okay, OK, since the bell has ended, let's hurry back and rest." Kondo Shusuke started to chase people, "Suomura Tuokashimazaki! Put down the wine and don't welcome the New Year with that drunken look!"
Everyone was driven back to their room.
Kondo Shusuke looked towards Sensoji Temple and smiled slightly.
I couldn't help but think of my proudest disciple.
...... and Zuocun.
In fact, it is not just Kondo Shusuke, Shimasaki Yuki, Toshiba Yoshimi, and even the somewhat casual Saito Ichi.
Everyone saw that something seemed wrong with Zuomura and Okita.
However, it is not like the relationship between men and women.
Okita is very active and active to everyone, but only when facing Zuocun, I feel a very gentle feeling and will involuntarily shrink a little timid.
As for Zuocun...
This person holds his own knife all day long, but occasionally he will have some interaction with Miss Okita.
Zuomura's attitude towards Okina was also very vague.
There seemed to be some thoughts between the two, but they didn't move forward.
Kondo Shusuke sat on the steps and looked at his courtyard.
It’s better not to move forward. Okita is still a period of rapid growth in strength, and he is too young to be a mother.
However, if these two children eventually come together... it seems good?
......
Today is the New Year Festival, and everyone wore thick yukatas that could keep warm and marched towards Sensoji Temple on the distant mountain.
Kondo Shusuke was wearing a black yukata, which was very consistent with his temperament - he was hidden and unspoken.
Yu Shimazaki and Suzumi Toshiba were wearing blue yukata and were chatting.
Saito Ichi's yukata is brown and he is looking around the streets. Although he is not a member of the test hospital, he has already integrated into this big family.
The same situation was Zuocun. Zuocun was wearing a green bathrobe, which made him look a little thin. His long black hair was tied into braids and swayed in the wind behind him.
Zuomura did not choose the mainstream hairstyle of Samurai. In his opinion, it looked stupid to shave a piece of hair and tie it into a bump.
Miss Okita likes cherry blossoms very much, and the yukata is also cherry blossoms. Miss Okita who has changed into yukata is still full of energy. She makes a clicking sound when she stepped on the stone road, and she looks very excited.
"Zuo Village, the trees in Senso Temple are so big!" She pointed to a vigorous branch that stretched out from Senso Temple in the distance, and said happily.
There are many people coming to visit New Year, but the road leading to Sensoji Temple is very wide, so it doesn’t feel crowded.
The group entered the temple, visited the New Year, and made their own wishes for the new year.
After making a wish, several people came to the place where the sign was shook.
This is a tradition. If you draw a bad luck, you must hang it on the tree in Sensoji Temple to pray to the gods to eliminate bad luck. If you draw a good luck, everyone will be happy and welcome the new year happily.
Everyone got the lucky draw and everyone was happy.
"Mr. Zuocun?" Miss Okita pulled one of Zuocun's hands.
"Hmm?" Zuocun grabbed his yoshi's signature and looked at Miss Okita who was smiling sweetly.
"Happy New Year." Miss Okina smiled like a cherry blossom.
It is brilliant and not like things on earth.
