After solving the little troubles of the Keiji brothers and sisters, Fuyuya drank some wine and slept until dawn without a dream.

When they went downstairs to have breakfast, the Genji couple probably finally heard about the cause and effect from Xiaoberry, and specially brought the two siblings to thank him.

"Samurai-sama, thank you for saving Keiji and Xiaoberry. This is our kindness—please accept it." Genji pushed a cloth bag in front of Toyomi.

Diarmuid took a look at Fuyumi, and stretched out his hand to untie the cloth bag, which contained ten small sentences.

For a small merchant family like Izumi House, Jin Shiliang is probably all they can give.

"Well, I don't need the money——" Fuyumi couldn't help but scratched his cheeks, seeing Genji's hesitant expression, afraid that he would continue to make some unprecedented proposals, he simply said: "But if it's possible, our room fee..."

"Of course, the room fees for both of you are free, and you can stay here as long as you want!" Genji immediately understood.

"Thank you, that's enough."

Genji repeatedly confirmed what Fuyuya meant. Although Izumiya is a lodging house, the food and tavern operated on the first floor are the main income. Fuyuya and Diarmuid are the only two residents.

The situation in Kyoto is now changing, and many people have already fled here. If Dongmi went to search carefully, he could still find an empty house to live in. Compared with Jin Shiliang or the lives of two children, one of them did not live there. A room for people and a few meals are really nothing.

Genji put away the gold gratefully, and asked Keiji and Xiaoberry to thank him.

"...Thank you, Samurai-sama." Keiji bowed his head reluctantly after being pressed down.

Xiao Berry bowed and thanked her more sincerely, "Master Samurai, thank you for saving my brother and me yesterday."

"You're welcome." Fuyumi stroked the top of her hair, not missing the awkward Keiji.

"—It seems that you are getting along pretty well." A familiar voice came from the door.

"Mr. Zouji!" Keiji immediately turned his head and shouted.

Today, Souji Okita did not wear the light onion-colored Yamagata haori that is the symbol of the Shinsengumi, but wore the normal clothes when he first saw him. He looked like an ordinary son of a merchant, with a bag in one hand and a hand in the other. holding a half-eaten apple.

"Uncle Genji, Auntie, and Keiji and Berry, this is a gift." Okita put the bag on the table, inside were several round apples.

The Izumiya family seemed to be quite familiar with Okita, and the Genjis didn't stay long, so they greeted him and left, leaving room for the younger generation.

Xiao Berry picked up the bag and went out, and after a while came over with a fruit bowl filled with washed apples.

"Let's all eat it. It was given to the team by Rong Baogong, and I also got some. I heard it's from the West." Okita introduced.

This fruit, which is very common in modern times, is not so easy to see in this era. There is also a kind of apple in Japan, which was passed down from China in ancient times.

And this kind of apple reintroduced from the West has a crisp taste, fresh and sweet, and Tomomi hasn't seen a fresh apple for a long time, so everyone took one unceremoniously.

Xiao Berry took a bite, her eyes lit up immediately, and she sweetly said to Chongtian, "Thank you, Mr. Zongsi!"

"Do you thank me only if you think it's delicious?" Okita stretched out his finger and flicked her on the head.

Keiji ate big mouthfuls, while asking: "Mr. Zouji, what are you doing here today?"

"Almost forgot, I'm here to take this guy away."

"Take me away? Where are you going?" Dongmi gnawed on an apple while pointing at herself in doubt.

Chong Tian said speechlessly: "Go to the garrison, didn't Yamazaki tell you yesterday? You probably don't know the way to the garrison, so he urged me to come and show you the way."

"That's right, I forgot." Fuyuya finally remembered that he had indeed promised to visit the Shinsengumi headquarters yesterday.

"..."

When everyone had finished eating, Okita said goodbye to the two siblings.

"Let's play together next time—then, I'll take this guy away."

"Mr. Zongsi, Mr. Samurai, Mr. Dilu, please be careful on the road." Xiao Berry smiled and waved to them, with a well-hidden disappointment in her eyes.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Fuyuya followed behind Okita with his arms folded, and sighed to Diarmuid: "Girls in this era are really precocious."

In fact, it's not so deep as love, it's just a young girl's vague affection for a certain opposite sex.

Although Xiao Berry is only 12 years old, it is very common to get married at the age of [-] or [-] in this era. Xiao Berry, who helps the family, meets various people every day. She is more mature than her elder brother in terms of worldly relationships. , It’s not surprising that you’ve gotten the hang of it now.

The heroic spirit, who is constantly suffering from women, is also quite sensitive to this, "Well, she is a good girl."

In the past few days living in Izumi House, Xiao Berry is considered a girl who is closer to him, and has not been affected by the magic power of the mole of love. Apart from the fact that he put the mole on it and tried to avoid being alone, maybe she also has a heart The reason why it belongs.

"What are you talking about?" Okita asked, turning his head.

Fuyumi smiled and said, "Well, I'm probably talking about someone who is really slow."

"...I don't know what you're talking about." Okita frowned.

Shintokuji Temple in Mibu Village, where the Shinsengumi's settlement is located, is unexpectedly close to Izumi House. Okita usually plays with the children near the settlement, and it was then that he met Keiji and Xiaoberry.

Outside the main gate of the Shinsengumi Headquarters was a wooden signboard of "Mibu Roshijuku", and there were bursts of cheers coming from inside.

There was no one guarding the gate outside, so Fuyuya and Diarmuid followed Okita and easily walked into the headquarters of this organization that many ronin were dismayed by.

It wasn't until he walked into the courtyard that Dongya saw that in the small courtyard, there were more than a dozen soldiers practicing swords with bamboo swords.

Standing at the very front was a small man with long braids. When he saw the three of Okita, he hurriedly greeted him, "Mr. Okita, are you back? Hey, they are the two you mentioned earlier..."

As the little man stopped, the other team members also stopped, and their curious eyes kept scanning Dongmi and Diarmuid. Of course, it was mainly Diarmuid who was a Westerner.

"Hirasuke, I'll take them to see Mr. Kondo and the others first, you should continue."

Under Okita's reminder, Todo Heisuke noticed that the "students" had stopped to watch the play, and quickly shouted: "Hey, you—stop looking around, hurry up and continue practicing!"

Leaving Todo and the team members behind, Okita did not stop, and directly led Fuyuya and Diarmuid through the corridor and entered the room inside.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kondo, Mr. Shannan, Mr. Hijikata, I have brought them."

Fuyuya looked around, besides the three people sitting at the top, there were Yamazaki Susumu and Saitoichi who had seen before sitting on the side.

After Okita saluted, he sat beside the two of them.

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work, General Manager." The man sitting in the middle of the conversation answered the question, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous face. This is undoubtedly the current general of the Shinsengumi - Isamu Kondo. Sure enough, He went on to say: "It's the first time to meet, both of you, I am Isamu Kondo, director of the Shinsengumi."

"I am Keisuke Shannan, the head of the Shinsengumi. Welcome to come here. Please don't be restrained." Shannan is a man with glasses and long hair. When he speaks, he gives off a feeling of spring breeze.

"Deputy Chief, Hijikata Toshizo." Hijikata, who spoke at the end, said briefly. This way of speaking reminds people of Saito who once met once, but his expression looks several times more serious than Saito, although He is a handsome man, but most people's first impression when they see him is that he is stern, very stern.

"I'm from the Harima country... a ronin, Toya Ishitani." Toya hesitated for a moment, and chose a way of expression that was more suitable for this era.

"I heard from the chief executive and others, Fuyuya-kun—may I call you that, as well as your entourage, I heard he can speak Japanese?" Kondo said without any surprise.

Dongya nodded, and Diarmuid said, "... Diarmuid Odina is Lord Toya's Servant, that is, a retainer."

Kondo stroked his chin, "Sawante...is that the pronunciation? Is this a Western word? So it means retainer, um..."

Seeing Kondo just talking in front of the guests, he lost his mind, and Hijikata had to take over the rest of the work.

"—Then, Mr. Ishitani, you said you were from the Harima country, right? Where is your hometown?"

This question overwhelmed Toyomi, "Hometown...? Well, my hometown...is called Kamikawa."

Sure enough, Hijikata frowned, "Kamikawa in Harima? I haven't heard of it."

"Ahahaha, maybe it's because my hometown is relatively rural." Toomi stuck out his tongue in his heart. He was surprised to hear that it was established after the feudal clan was abolished and the prefecture was established there. How did he know about Kamikawa Town? What is the place name at this time?

"Azui." Came back to his senses, Kondo, who found that Hijikata's tone had changed to questioning, called his name with the meaning of restraint.

Shannan smiled and took over the conversation, "Shigu-kun, it's like this, the samurai you met yesterday was the one who recently endangered the public security in Kyoto, you should already know that. He is an executioner and has already killed Many people, now you are the only two witnesses who are still alive, we hope you can cooperate with us and catch him."

"Well, that's it. Can I borrow a pen and paper? I can draw him." Dongmi said cooperatively.

Shannan nodded, and ordered Yamazaki who was sitting on the side, "Yamazaki, give him paper and pen."

Soon, Yamazaki brought over a stack of paper, brushes, and ink, and it seemed that he had already prepared for it.

Dongmi picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, swiped the pen, and quickly finished his masterpiece. He glanced at it with satisfaction, "Yeah, that's it, that's how he looks like."

Shannan looked at the paper displayed in his hand, and could barely make out the lines of the portrait. He was silent for a while, looked at the expectant Fuyumi, and said politely: "...Ishitani-kun, I mean, the one who drew the sword Are there any other special features of fasting?"

Fuomi put down the drawing paper, thought for a while and said, "Is it a feature? Does being shorter count? He probably reaches my chest? He looks more handsome, with long hair, ah, it's similar to Mr. Dojikata's hairstyle." As Mi said, she stretched out her hand and gestured for height.

"He looks handsome, is he shorter?" Shannan confirmed it. As for the hairstyle and so on, this kind of thing can be changed at any time, especially after someone sees his appearance, it is really uncertain.

"Well, that's it."

"Okay, thank you very much." After confirming that there was nothing else to ask, Shannan simply gave up communicating with Fuyuya, sat back in his original position and resumed his previous posture smiling.

His intuition told him that if he continued to communicate with this person, he would be very tired.

Xiaopan: The currency that began to circulate in the neon Edo period, generally speaking, one coin represents one tael of gold.

Neon is based on the silver standard. The so-called "gold one tael" is not real gold that weighs one tael, but gold that is equivalent to one tael of silver.

In fact, due to different reasons such as fineness, age, and the ratio of gold and silver prices, the value of the currency has changed, which is enough for thousands of words, but it is meaningless to stop the water, so let it be equal to one tael of gold.

There is another big sentence, the currency value is more complicated.

The general shape of the small pan and the big pan are oblate gold coins, like the one in Lucky Cat's hand.

Those who play swordsman are probably familiar with 2333
