Hijikata knew he was dreaming.

As soon as Takasugi Shinsuke returned to Edo, he was immediately caught by the shogunate and imprisoned in a dark and dirty underground cell, where he was tortured until he was covered in blood.

And he was standing outside the prison door with the child in his arms, looking coldly at Shinsuke Takasugi who was shackled by iron chains. Shinsuke Takasugi barely raised his head, and struggled to open his bloody right eye to look at them.

After a while, Takasugi Shinsuke suddenly lowered his head and did not move, and Hijikata was awakened by the dream.

"Takasugi!"

Shinsuke Takasugi at the side of the bed turned his head strangely.

"what?"

Tu Fang wiped off his cold sweat, and immediately lay back awkwardly.

Oops, embarrassing...

After lying down for a while, he bounced up, pointed at Takasugi Shinsuke's arms and stammered.

"You, what are you holding?"

"My child, our child. Do you want to hug? Here, here."

The earthworker took it blankly.Speaking of which, he seemed to have really given birth to something.Looking down, the little guy wrapped in the thin quilt clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes, and was sleeping soundly.

Takasugi Shinsuke hurriedly stretched his waist while Hijikata took over, and he complained softly when he was finally able to catch his breath.

"I didn't expect coaxing children to be more troublesome than planning a riot."

"By the way, I have helped you contact the Shinsengumi, and they will be here soon."

Hearing this, Hijikata's heart skipped a beat, and his attention immediately shifted from the sleeping baby to Shinsuke Takasugi.

"Stupid, stupid! Are you trying to get arrested?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Takasugi Shinsuke glanced at the worried Hijikata and smiled happily.

"I said that when I return to Edo, I will surrender myself. Now it's just a matter of moving forward."

Hijikata thought of the dream just now, and his heart was in a state of agitation. As the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, he was completely unable to stop Shinsuke Takasugi from throwing himself into the trap. His mood has become quite contradictory recently. The culprit All because of Takasugi Shinsuke.

Finally, the earthworker turned his head away.

"Is that so? Then you can count on your luck."

Takasugi Shinsuke replied with a harmless sentence.

"My luck has always been good."

The next day, the Shinsengumi came to pick him up with great fanfare.

When Sougo rushed in with his team in a hurry, Hijikata was holding a crying baby in the house, while Shinsuke Takasugi was holding a baby bottle borrowed from a villager in the other hand, which was half full Prepared milk powder, the two adults seem to be very busy.

Sougo was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly led the soldiers back out.

"Sorry, I went to the wrong door. I'm sorry to disturb your family of three."

For a moment, Tufang was terribly embarrassed, and the heat on his face suddenly rose.

"Hey, Sougo!! Come back!"

Sougo stopped in his tracks and plucked his ears.

"Ah, I always feel as if I heard Hijikata-san's voice. Is it my hallucination?"

The team member next to him reminded him.

"No, captain, that is the vice-captain himself!"

"is that so?"

Sougo asked back in surprise, then turned back, stared at Hijikata's face for a moment, and then clapped his hands as if he had an epiphany.

"Ah, really."

"Hey! What's your expression on you bastard! Damn..."

"Hey Hichikata-san, was the elopement experience enjoyable?"

When Hijikata heard Sougo greet him nonchalantly, thinking of the inseparable direct or indirect relationship between his wretched appearance and all the sufferings he has suffered these days, he suddenly became angry, and the veins on his forehead burst unconsciously up.He handed the baby to Shinsuke Takasugi, smirked and hooked up with Sougo, and walked to the backyard.

"Ah, I will never forget it. I haven't seen you for a few days. You should have a lot to say to me, right? Now, how about we talk later? In order to thank you for your hard work and to help me keep the baby, I have prepared a lot This is a great gift, I can’t wait to give it to you.”

"Oh? Really, Hichikata-san? You won't lie to me, will you? Ah, if it's mayonnaise, it's free."

Zongwu opened his round pupils, no doubt about him, and went with Tufang.

Watching their deputy chief and captain leave together, the subordinates headed by Yamazaki immediately turned their eyes back to the baby in Takasugi Shinsuke's arms.

After a while, Harada and Yamazaki began to whisper to each other while peeking at Shinsuke Takasugi.

"Hey, look, that...could it be the deputy chief's..."

"...No way... No matter how you say it, it's impossible...Because, the deputy chief is no longer a woman since I came back!"

"No, no, no...the deputy chief is very strange recently, didn't you notice it? It was too much to say that the big belly before was a blessing, and the deputy chief's behavior just now was completely like a trainee mother..."

"Speaking of which, it seems to be true... just now I really heard the deputy chief admitting that the child has not disappeared."

Shinsuke Takasugi, who turned a blind eye to the Shinsengumi's secret discussion, coaxed distressedly while holding the baby who was still crying.

"Hey, look, it's Dad. If you're a boy who always cries, you won't grow tall."

This casual sentence sparked a new round of whispering discussions among the true selection team members.

"Look, the other party calls themselves father..."

"Then it really is..."

"Since it's the child of those two, the child should have a name too."

"Who knows, it's called Takasugi... what is it?"

"Matsunen Takasugi? Takanori Takasugi? Could it be Asuka Takasugi?"

"Oh, if it was me, Wei Shiro would be cuter..."

At this moment, Hijikata, who came back from the backyard out of breath, spoke unhappily.

"Why doesn't my child have to be named Takasugi! Hijikata, you idiot!"

The whispering team members immediately stopped their discussion and looked at the returning deputy chief in unison.

"Vice-captain, you're back. Eh... Where's the captain?"

"Sougo fell asleep in the backyard, and said he wanted to enjoy his lunch break."

It must have been cleaned up!Yamazaki who thought so did not dare to speak out, because he didn't want to be a companion.

After the earthwork adjusted his breathing, he turned to discuss with Takasugi Shinsuke.

"By the way, Takasugi, it's time for a name, right? What should I call it... By the way, what about the name Jujuro Hijikata?"

Takasugi took the time to look up at Hijikata, and resolutely objected.

"No. Absolutely not."

"The child shall have my last name."
