"Sirizawa-sama, since I moved to Kyoto, my wife and I have neither violated the law nor participated in any activities to undermine the curtain. They just want to rely on their hands to live a normal life. I have always heard that the Shinsengumi is a place where heroes gather, and all members of the group abide by the samurai code.
I respect you very much, and every time I serve the adults who come to the store, I do my best. Today, you are forcing me and my wife hard. Did the store unintentionally offend you? I would like to apologize here and ask for your forgiveness, Serizawa-sama."
The landlady speaks softly and makes every advance and retreat based on her reasoning. Anyone with any sense would think about it, otherwise once word spreads, her reputation will be completely ruined. Serizawa Duck is irritable and unruly but not stupid at all, although he hates the boss.
He stopped him and was annoyed that there were many onlookers in the store, but he still didn't draw the knife again. But if he gave up like this, what he gained might not be a positive reputation, which made him think deeply, and his gloomy eyes kept scanning at everyone in the store.
Saito, who had been watching with cold eyes, stepped forward and said slowly: "Director, you are just a stupid woman who doesn't know heroes, so there is no need to argue with her. I will inform Deputy Director Kondo immediately and convey your intention. After all, the situation is urgent, and the guardian still needs to be there."
Please explain as soon as possible."
Following the perfect stairs built by Saito Ichi, Serizawa Kama waved his hand and snorted: "That's right. Call Kondo over, I will wait for him here. If I don't see him today, there will be no Shinsengumi again in the future.
The name Kondo Isamu appeared. Saito, pass my words to him intact, without missing a word, do you hear me?"
Serizawa Kamo's tone of commanding like a servant made Saito frown, but he still bowed and replied strictly: "Yes, Director, I'm resigning."
Serizawa sat down on the couch again, picked up the wine bottle, drank it in one gulp, threw it away casually, pointed at the boss who was coughing in a low voice and said coldly: "You were lucky enough to escape today, remember, in the future
Don't let me see you, there will be no second time." Not sure whether he heard it or not, the boss hunched over and slowly turned around and returned to the kitchen.
Serizawa Duck turned his eyes to the landlady again. The landlady's eyes were still gentle and clear. She just bent her knees and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Serizawa, for your generosity." Listening to Rourou's words, he felt itchy, but after all, he couldn't do it right away.
He fell out and secretly made up his mind to get the landlady in the future no matter what. He suppressed his desire and ordered: "Take me to the best room upstairs. I want to rest."
"Sir, our hotel only operates an izakaya and does not open guesthouses..." Before she could finish her words, Serizawa Kamuo immediately interrupted rudely: "Then clean up the room you live in! Listen, no one can
If you refuse me a second time, those who dare to do so will be dead."
Faced with Serizawa Kamo's unreasonableness, the proprietress was obviously struggling, but after weighing it for a moment, she bowed and turned to go upstairs. It seemed that she did not intend to anger this powerful man again.
Noguchi Kenji winked at Serizawa Kama and chuckled: "Director, why don't you go up now and let me guard here. No one knows what will happen. Even if someone knows, it doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Shinami Nishiki hurriedly advised: "No! Serizawa, this is a very important matter. Since I have arranged to meet Kondo Isamu here, if someone is killed or injured, a government officer will come to question him, and he may even attract a fugitive."
You bastard, if you don't leave then, conflicts will arise. If you leave, you will break the promise and be in a dilemma, which is something a wise man will not do."
Although Noguchi Kenji disagreed, he did not dare to refute Shinami Nishiki's opinion. Although he regarded himself as Serizawa Kamo's confidant, in terms of status, he was just an ordinary team member, and his swordsmanship was even more mediocre. He could only pass the rigorous selection of the Shinsengumi.
How could he possibly confront the Shinsengumi second-in-command in person if he knew Serizawa Kamo's relationship?
Serizawa pondered for a moment and nodded. After all, reason prevailed and he ordered: "Noguchi, go and bring Ame."
"There is also Hirama Shigesuke and Heiyama Goro." Niimi Nishiki continued: "In case Kondo and his gang take risks, it's better to be prepared."
"Hmph, Xinmi, you are still so cautious. When have you ever seen a group of local dogs dare to bark at a tiger? Forget it, let them do it. When Kondo arrives, I will humiliate him severely!"
Rensheng Temple.
As the current residence of the Shinsengumi, this place is very quiet and incompatible with the murderous team members. In a corner of the temple, a room designated for the Shinsengumi is filled with a group of people, including the famous Kondo Isamu.
Including Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Souji, there were no less than 14 people. Saito Kazuyo, who had just returned from Ichimiya, was also among them. It seemed that Saito, who was neutral in the eyes of Serizawa Kamo, had already joined Kondo Isamu.
One faction.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, a handsome but slightly feminine young man said: "Haha, what's wrong with everyone? Director Serizawa is a kind man. It won't hurt if Mr. Kondo goes to see him."
Hijikata Toshizo on the side pursed his lips, and his two thin lips were pressed together. Together with his straight nose and narrow eyes, they formed a unique cruel temperament that was intimidating. He glanced at the young man and spoke in a low voice.
Said: "Okita-kun, don't joke around."
That young man was Okita Souji. He was one of the few people who could ignore Hijikata Toshizo's aura. He touched his hair and smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry."
Hijikata Toshizo turned to Saitoichi and asked: "Now that the matter is over, Saito-san, what do you think?"
"Nishiki Shinmi is the nominal second-in-command of the Shinsengumi after all. It's best not to kill him, just divide him into three people and hold him down. That villain Noguchi is not worth mentioning. Even if we add two masters, Hirama and Hirayama, we can't do it."
Sending six people is enough to deal with it. Serizawa Kama is very strong, and only Brother Okita can fight it, but it is still slightly inferior. With Brother Hijikata, Director Kondo can be foolproof, and two more people need to be deployed to patrol outside. This battle can be won!
It's just that there will inevitably be some damage." Saitoichi did not belittle his opponent, he analyzed it meticulously, and his serious face looked very convincing.
Okita Souji muttered angrily: "Brother Saito, you are so rude. I am a genius swordsman, Kondo-senpai, right?"
The burly man sitting slouched at the head with a stubble on his face laughed loudly: "Of course, Okita is my natural top master of Rishin-ryu. Speaking of which, I, Kondo, deserve to be called the fourth-generation master of Rishin-ryu. Otherwise, why wouldn't I even be the master of Shinto?"
No one in the area can defeat an abandoned disciple."
Saito shook his head: "After all, Serizawa Kamo is a figure who fought against the Juggernaut more than ten years ago. There are not many people in the world who dare to say that he is definitely better than him. Director Kondo does not need to blame himself."
Isamu Kondo was stunned, and made the same gesture of stroking his hair as Okita Souji, and said depressedly: "Brother Saito, you are really boring!"
Saito's expression remained unchanged, he bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry."
Okita Souji showed a look of longing: "Sword Master... It's a pity that I was born too late to witness his courage to fight the world alone. It's a pity that I will never see him again... I heard that many rebels from the Choshu Domain have sneaked into Kyoto recently.
I wonder if the disciple of the Sword Master, Katsura Kogoro, is here, but I will definitely fight him if I get the chance!"
