"Gu, it really looks strange..." Liu Quan tugged at the hem of the bathrobe unnaturally, thought for a while and added an explanation.

"Speaking of, uh... I haven't worn this kind of clothes much before, that... it really doesn't suit me..."

Harada's surprised expression suddenly took on an emotion similar to sympathy.Maybe it's arbitrarily speculated that she was forced by the "uncle" who only appeared in the plot memory but she had never met before, so she had to disguise herself as a man and undergo cruel training to improve her skills. I always know very well Harada, who was sympathetic to the fragrance and tenderness, softened her expression, and even reached out to stroke her hair.

"That's not the case....Xue Ye, it looks good dressed like this." He blinked at Liu Quan who looked up at him in surprise, with a happy expression on his face.

"It must be the most beautiful girl among the girls who participated in the festival."

"Huh?!" Zhi Cheng praised, Liu Quan's eyes widened in surprise for a moment.

The earthworker on the side suddenly spoke a little impatiently.

"I said, do you still have something to do?" He had a straight face, making Liu Quan feel as if the stern image of the deputy chief of the ghost had returned in an instant.

"Hey, Harada, patrol carefully tonight too! Because a group of thugs have already made trouble on the street during the day, so be extra careful tonight!..."

Harada's face collapsed exaggeratedly, but Liu Quan could tell that he was just pretending to be intimidated by the deputy commander's aura just to amuse himself.

"Yes, yes. I must pay special attention!...Hey, Xue Ye, I will take your knife back first, so you can safely leave everything to the deputy chief tonight?"

Liu Quan: "..."

...Although he clearly knows what he meant, Hijikata with a knife will worry about the safety of two people when they go to the festival tonight, but this kind of statement is really worthy of Harada Sanosuke, who is Shimabara's famous person. You said it... Anyone who hears it will find it ambiguous, right? !

Obviously, Hijikata also heard the ambiguous effect Harada intentionally caused.His face became even uglier.

"Hey! Harada!"

Harada smiled and took Liu Quan's sword, and ran away in a hurry.

Liu Quan: ... Sure enough, the moment he appeared, he made the scene even more embarrassing, so swollen!

This is not the first time I have walked the streets of Kyoto at night.As a team member of the Shinsengumi, Liu Quan used to wear haori, passing through these familiar streets during patrols and occasional battles.

However, tonight was the first time I wore a women's yukata, and as a girl, I put down my sword and walked these streets with a man to attend a festival.

She also felt a little uneasy when seeing the passers-by who passed by all looking at her...

While she was walking with this inconceivable mood, she suddenly heard Hijikata whispering, "But, you are really a whimsical guy....Didn't you already visit the festival tomorrow?"

"Walking, shopping?" Liu Quan turned to look at him in surprise.

"... During the day, didn't you come to the festival with that boy, the chief executive?" Under the moonlight, Hijikata's side face in a yukata looked a little unreal, and his slender figure had a chic and suave feeling.He didn't seem to be angry, and the lines of his profile were soft.

"Although he left with Chizuru after we finally met in front of the main hall of the shrine, but before that... haven't you seen enough of the festival? Or didn't you buy anything you wanted?"

"Ah...no," Liu Quan blurted out subconsciously, "I...we walked so fast, I didn't have time to see anything, and I didn't buy anything..."

"... Huh?!" Hijikata made an unexpected questioning voice, "Really, what the hell is that boy in charge thinking... Anyway, if you invite girls to participate in the festival, you can't just ignore everything like this You can do whatever you want...so why do you two want to come to the festival together!"

For some reason, some kind of indescribable annoyance surged into Liu Quan's heart in an instant.

……Why?Isn't it because you want to get what you need with Okita-kun, is it not because you want to prevent Chizuru from entering the sub-long line that is enough to collapse the world and wipe out your Shinsengumi in time? !

However, tonight she intends to make good use of her rare opportunity to wear a women's bathrobe and become a normal girl (fog!), to brush up her femininity and affection in front of the deputy chief, so she swallowed those moments in her heart Swiping the screen of complaints and mouth guns.

"That... If you don't want to go to the festival with me, you can turn back now..." She took a step back and deliberately responded in an apologetic and uneasy tone, "What if the task I don’t know if it’s too late to ask Ichi-kun now...? What if Ichi-kun doesn’t want to?”

After a moment of silence, a displeased voice came from her ear.

"Wait for me... Who said you don't want to? I just hate the feeling of being led by the nose at that time. So what's the matter with your dejected look?"

Although just now in order to quickly gain favorability and create a [shocking education] effect on the other party, he took the risk of throwing out the arrogant lines of "Mary Su heroine exclusive", but Liu Quan did not expect to get such a straightforward response.She looked up at him in surprise, "Huh?!"

Hijikata frowned in displeasure.

"Although Mr. Kondo said that this is a reward for you, I also agree. ... However, no matter whether you are going to perform a mission or not, if you invite girls to participate in the festival, no matter what the reason is, it is still more handsome to invite you yourself Right. What's the matter with the feeling of being forced!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Quan's eyes widened and he kept staring at his unhappy face.If there is a mirror now, she feels that her expression must be very shocked.

Earthwork frowned even tighter. "What's the matter, do you have an opinion?!"

……of course not!But Deputy Chief, what you said just now is similar to what Harada said—it's easy to be misunderstood by girls who are expecting it!

If it weren't for the gentle and calm expression on his face when he and Qianzuru stood under the tree in the shrine in the afternoon, Liu Quan would really have some kind of bad, crazy, far beyond what he could expect at that moment. Hope over the range.

...but that's not right.

This time the task is unusual, if you do not handle it carefully, you will be dead in minutes.What she has to fight against is the whole world, and she can't do it if she doesn't calm down.

Even if you hear an unexpected line, you can't be shaken.

She should know that there is no way out of her predicament.It is even more impossible to find salvation in someone who is destined to die heroically and die young in this organization that is destined to perish soon, let alone when one is tired and desperate from hard work, simply put the solution The expectation of the matter is pinned on the other party's sudden awakening.

What's more, those people—that person, didn't have the same intention to do it.

Liu Quan randomly found a reason.

"No, it's not... because I'm very surprised to hear Hijikata-san say I'm a girl."

As expected, Tufang was speechless for a while because of this excuse she made so casually.

"...Well, that's because you usually only wear men's clothing. Seeing you dressed like this, if you still say that you are not a girl, then you are sick."

He said it as if it was a matter of course.

...What do you mean by that...

Although I have already warned myself not to think too much, but under the dim light of the night, the expression on the face of the deputy chief of the Shinsengumi's Oni was much softer, and his tone was very calm, which was completely different from the harsh words during the day.

The dim light of the lantern illuminated the approach in the night.There is no other word to describe the night scene where the moonlight and lantern lights intersect each other other than wonderful.The hustle and bustle of the day began to subside gradually, and only some noisy human voices could be heard in the courtyard of the shrine.

Just walking side by side silently, Liu Quan felt that at this moment, the pressure and exhaustion he had been enduring since he came to this world had disappeared.The heart seemed to be immersed in a pool of warm water, lazily, and suddenly felt incredibly peaceful.

"The ceremony...is really wonderful." Liu Quan couldn't help sighing.

"I've never participated in such an ordinary and formal festival before... I didn't know that what I missed was such a beautiful thing..."

Tufang seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

At that moment, Kiyohara Yukiha's impression on him seemed to have gradually changed from a simple "a girl who disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the Shinsengumi with no special purpose" to something else.

...It's only natural for girls to wear beautiful yukatas to festivals.

But she regards wearing a yukata and participating in festivals as a luxury that she has never experienced before...

Some redundant words leaked out of his mouth involuntarily.

"I've been here during the day, even if I didn't look specifically for it, I know there's nothing new to see, but there's a big difference between day and night."

Hearing his tone and response, Liu Quan seemed to be taken aback, but a peaceful smile soon appeared on her face, and she replied, "Yes. It feels like coming to another place."
