Kitty, don't run away! !

Since I got back that day, I have been shutting myself in the house.My mind is very chaotic, and when I sleep or do other things, there will always be the appearance of those people, the appearance of blood all over, and the appearance of staring.

very scary……

The petite body curled up in the corner trembled from time to time, and the whole face was buried in the arms holding the hem of the clothes tightly, which made people feel very painful.

"Pa--pa--" There was a person's footsteps outside the door, I immediately stood up in a panic, wiped away the tears that were still flowing down with my hands, quickly opened the wardrobe, knelt down in front of the wardrobe, and put a A piece of clothing is taken out and messed up.

"Wow—" The person walked in as I expected, but the pale face really made people worry, but at this time, I didn't turn around, and I didn't dare to look back, just afraid that the person would see me. Sometimes embarrassed.

"Gangji, are you packing your clothes?" The visitor didn't come over, but sat cross-legged in the middle of the room.

"...Mmm, um." I wrung the clothes with my hands, and forcibly made the original flat clothes crumpled.

"What's the matter, I haven't patrolled the streets with the team recently, are you sick?" Mr. Okita walked over and touched my forehead, which made my body startled.

"No, I'm not sick, but it's Mr. Okita, you should pay more attention to your body, and you're wearing such thin clothes, it's almost winter now." I pulled my face stiffly to make it look like a smile, Then he turned around and put on the "rotten" clothes in his hand.

"It's really ugly."

"Eh?" Yi, clothes?Or was it discovered?

I fiddled with that dress nervously, my eyes just stared at it, not daring to look at his blue eyes full of radiance.

"Can't stand it? Sure enough, letting a brat like you go to the battlefield is no different from sending you to hell," Mr. Okita pulled my jaw with his right hand. The force he used was extremely strong, which made me feel like my jaw was being squeezed. Crushed, "Look at the reality a little bit, kid, the Shinsengumi doesn't need weak people to exist, and likewise, the battlefield doesn't need weak people to live, so you'd better get out of here, or," saw his The expression suddenly changed, and the sudden murderous look in the eyes made me widen my eyes, "I'll kill you."

"Okita, sir..." Am I about to be killed by him now?The heart beats extremely slowly, it seems that time is divided into tens of thousands, so slow that even the number of times my own heart beats is very clear.

I didn't dare to move anymore, I just stared blankly at his eyes with wide eyes.

"Heh, haha..." Okita Souji was amused by my expression, put down his hand pinching my chin, stroked my belly and couldn't stop laughing.

"..." What kind of divine development is this?What are you doing!Look at me, I'm ready to die, bastard... Is it fun to mess with me...

However, the murderous intent conveyed in those eyes just now was true.

"The way you looked just now is so cute~" Mr. Okita stretched out his hand to stroke my hair, trying to mess it up, but the moment he stretched out his hand in front of me, I dodged a little in surprise, although I was still caught by him in the end. It works, but I always feel a little uncomfortable.

"Why is Mr. Okita always like this? He obviously wanted to comfort people, but in the end he turned into a threat." I curled my lips and complained.

"Ahh~ I'm probably used to it."

This habit...is really not flattering.

Did it make my fragile little heart almost jump out! !

But maybe I know what I should do.

"Thank you, Mr. Okita." I thanked him with a smile, then stood up and held out my hand to him, "It's probably noon now, let's go have lunch."

Okita Souji was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he put his hand in my hand, and pulled him up from the tatami as soon as he gave it strength.

"Let's go."

"Hey, hey~" Mr. Okita pulled up his clothes, looked at the back of the person in front of him, and a smile that was different from usual overflowed from his mouth, and he smiled sincerely.

【If you can catch my heart again, I won't let go. 】

……

On this day, the sky outside was covered with overcast clouds, as if afraid of the sun's rays.

But despite the oppressive weather, people are still smiling with open hearts.

inside the house.

It was lunch time, so everyone gathered in this not-so-spacious room.

"It's finally time to eat! I'm starving to death!" Hirasuke picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables without saying a word, and began to pick them up in his mouth.However, when he frowned halfway through the cooking, he licked the rice grains sticking to his mouth, and said with a (pseudo) smile, "Who made the rice today, it's so delicious! Everyone try it !" Hirasuke almost laughed to his ears, when he picked up the bowl and pretended to eat, he glanced at the crowd and secretly laughed in his heart.

【It’s better to be alone than to be together. Let’s have such a "delicious" meal~】

So, Saito, who is usually very quiet, spoke up.

"So salty."

"Ahem!!!! Ka! Hirasuke! How dare you talk nonsense! Look at my Pegasus Meteor Fist!!" Shinpachi put down the bowl and chopsticks calmly, and punched Hirasuke.

"Who is cooking today?" The deputy chief wisely didn't eat a bite.

"I~" Mr. Okita shook his chopsticks, "The rice was steamed by Tsunayoshi, and the dishes were cooked by me~ I didn't put much salt in it, but there was too much soy sauce." In order to prove it was true, Mr. Okita Si also picked up the vegetables and ate several mouthfuls. (Of course ignoring the furrowed brow that no one can see.)

Huh! !Mr. Okita, obviously you put several spoonfuls of salt! !I didn't even see the soy sauce!How did you make it up! !

As soon as Saito stood up with the bowl, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Yi-kun, where are you going with the food?" Okita Souji was still eating, looking at Saito Kazu next to him.

"Rinse with water. Otherwise, if you eat so much salt, you will get sick." So he turned and left.

With a precedent, everyone also looked at each other, and went out to prepare dishes together with bowls.

"……"What's happening here? "Chong, Mr. Okita, do you want to..." Before I finished speaking, I saw Mr. Okita looking at his bowl for a long time, then stood up calmly and went out.

"……"so what?Mr. Okita, why bother! !

Qianzuru and I were the only ones left in the room at this time. She still maintained the posture of pouring tea, tilted her head to look at the leaving crowd, sighed, and put down the teapot in her hand.

"Nissan, you look much better recently than you did a few days ago."

"Huh? How do you say it?"

"Nissan, you haven't smiled since you came back from the Forbidden Door Change, and even if you eat, you just do something like mechanical work in a dull manner," Qianhe frowned slightly, looking at you worriedly. Me, but I laughed again, "However, now I feel that your heart seems to have let go of something. Of course, you still complain today~" She smiled and pointed at me.

Did I worry you?

"Sorry, Chizuru, for worrying you."

"As long as Nissan is happy. But..." She faltered, her eyes flicking to the empty seat.

"what happened?"

"I was worried about Mr. Shannan. I went to deliver tea that day because Mr. Ito came, but I heard their noise outside the door. It seemed that it was aimed at Mr. Shannan, and then he came out and said something strange. "

"What did he say?"

"'I can finally resign as chief because of the addition of an excellent staff officer', always makes me think that something will happen to him."

"Really..." I walked forward, stroking her head to comfort her, but my eyes stayed on the empty seat, "Don't worry, Mr. Shannan will be fine, you have to take care of yourself..." Don't get hurt.

"Ah."

……

It was night.

Because of what Qianzuru said to me during the day, my super intuitive sense reminded me that there was some danger around me, so I couldn't fall asleep naturally.

Sitting on the plank, leaning against the wood used as beams, frowning, looking at the moon that was half covered by clouds that day.

However, that month emitted a mysterious purple.

Everything seems weird.

"Wow——" the door not far away was opened, and a black figure walked quickly past the corner. Since there was a tree there, I couldn't see who it was, but then, the door closer to me opened again , the person who came out was Chizuru.

Seeing her walking in such a hurry, she must be chasing the person in front.But that direction seems to be going to the medical bank.

No matter what, let's wake up Mr. Okita.

I quickly opened the door, and saw Souji Okita leaning against the wall, holding the knife in his arms.

"Chong, Mr. Okita, aren't you asleep?" I looked at him in surprise, and walked forward quickly, "No! Just now, I saw Qianzuru chasing a figure over there!"

"What!" Indeed, Okita heard footsteps, but he didn't expect Qianhe to notice something wrong with Shannan, "Tsunayoshi, you go and chase them, I'll be there soon." Director Okita stood up, Go in the opposite direction.

"There must be nothing wrong, Qianzuru." I ignited the flame of death energy, and used the impetus of the flame to chase in the direction where Qianzuru left.
