"It's 10 days... then you should take advantage of these 10 days to think about how to deal with the Lord's 'accusation'."
When he mentioned the word "accusation", he emphasized his tone.
When Qingdeng heard this, he suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, with a bitter look on his face.
"I will work hard..."
"So, you are still determined to marry three wives?"
"Only on this point, I will not make any concessions."
Qingdeng replied without thinking.
"You are really stubborn in some strange places..."
Boss Kiryu spread his hands and then asked:
"Then how far have you and the young master developed?"
"It's almost time for you to get married, right?"
"If you don't get married and have children, your generals will have objections."
Qingdeng muttered half-jokingly:
"Why are you even starting to urge me to get married..."
After muttering, he thought briefly:
"I have consulted the three of them for their opinions by making insinuations."
"To put it simply... they are very happy to get married."
"There is no gap between them."
"Although on weekdays, Sanako and Awu are always bickering, as if they are not on good terms."
"But I can see that there is no deep grudge between them."
"It would be better to say that the relationship between the two of them is actually very good."
"It's just that... they still can't adapt to the concept of 'three real wives' that I proposed."
"Actually, it's nothing."
"It's just that because this idea goes against common sense, they are instinctively resistant to it."
"As long as their thinking gets over this hurdle, things should go smoothly next."
After Boss Kiryu listened quietly, he couldn't help but laugh:
"If it weren't for your insistence on having "three legitimate wives," you would have enjoyed the blessings of being together."
Qingdeng smiled, neither approving nor objecting.
Boss Kiryu continued:
"In other words...the key to solving the current impasse lies in whether the young master and the others can overcome the hurdle of 'everyone is the principal wife', right?"
Qingdeng nodded:
"Well, you can put it that way."
Boss Kiryu raised his hand and adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose - the lenses reflected his thoughtful eyes.
"Then... from my point of view, the person who will break the situation will probably be Miss Chiba."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Boss Kiryu straightened his back slightly, put on a confident smile, and looked like a strategist trying to clear up his master's doubts.
"Miss Okita is a very gentle girl."
"'Tenderness' is certainly beautiful."
"But the problem is - she is too gentle."
"Compared to personal honor and disgrace, she values the gains and losses of the group more."
"Even if I feel a little wronged, I will never tell anyone about it."
"Therefore, she will probably feel that the current situation of 'no one is married' is pretty good, and lacks the motivation to 'change the status quo.'"
"As for the young master, let alone that."
"'Lack of aggressiveness' is a long-standing problem of the young master."
"Due to his own personality, the young master doesn't like arguments."
"When encountering a dispute, unless it is a matter of principle, she will always subconsciously choose to give in."
"On the other hand, Miss Chiba, she doesn't have these messy problems."
"Although Ms. Chiba is an elegant and gentle Nadeshiko, at certain times, she can be extremely aggressive."
"Besides, her true character is even more uncool than she appears."
"Once the passion comes to her, it's very easy to do things that are not what she would normally do."
"All in all, you can have high hopes for Miss Chiba."
"Maybe one day, she will give you a 'big surprise'."
Qingdeng was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
It wasn't until a while later that he regained his composure and said with admiration:
"Boss Kiryu, you are so awesome... you got everything right."
Boss Kiryu knew Kinoshita Mai and Souji very well, so Aoto was not surprised by this.
Needless to say, Kinoshita Mai.
Senshiya has a very good relationship with the Kaieikan. Therefore, it is normal for Boss Kiryu to know Souji very well.
But Sanako... Boss Kiryu doesn't have much interaction with her.
As far as Qingdeng knew, they had barely exchanged a few words with each other.
What Boss Kiryu said just now is truly amazing.
The grasp of the character traits of the three women is extremely accurate.
Boss Kiryu smiled and pointed at his gray hair.
"My age is not in vain."
"I have lived for so long, experienced so many things, and met so many people."
"Unknowingly, I developed the ability to see, recognize and identify people."
"Of course...I sometimes make mistakes."
Having said that, Boss Kiryu pondered to himself, as if it brought back some old memories.
While Boss Kiryu was pondering, Aomori carefully thought about the wise words that the other party had just explained.
I have to say that what Boss Kiryu said is absolutely true.
Nowadays, everything Qingdeng can do, he has done.
All that's left is to wait for the three girls to realize their own ideological "enlightenment" and no longer stick to the secular prejudice of "three main wives, unheard of".
It is unrealistic to expect Kinoshita Mai and Souji, who have weak personalities, to get rid of this "shackles".
There must be a decisive and bold "strong man" to help them.
And this "strong man"... it is really suitable for Sanako to be the one.
At this moment, suddenly, Qingden seemed to have thought of something, and a look of hesitation appeared on his cheeks.
After a moment, he asked quietly:
"Boss Kiryu, can I ask you a very presumptuous question?"
"Why are you so mysterious? If you have anything to ask, just ask."
Since the other party said so, Qingdeng no longer hesitated:
"Boss Kiryu, do you... have a wife and children?"
This problem has been bothering him for a long time.
He is nearly a hundred years old... At such an age, he should have many children and grandchildren.
However, so far, Aomori has never met the relatives of Boss Kiryu.
This kind of question is very sensitive - maybe it's because boss Kiryu's relatives had some accidents, so they didn't show up - so Qingto has always been embarrassed to ask.
The topic of marriage just happened to come up now. Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity to ask questions, Qingden plucked up the courage to raise this question that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time.
Faced with such a personal question, Boss Kiryu didn’t hesitate at all and responded gracefully:
"I have never been married, so I have no wife or children."
After Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help being surprised.
I think anyone who hears this will be surprised.
After all, Boss Kiryu is very handsome.
Especially his elegant temperament is very lethal to women with good taste.
In addition, he is a "Doraemon-type" all-around man.
Cooking, papering windows, repairing furniture, killing termites...everything is possible and expert in everything.
How many women can refuse such a good man?
Even though he is now quite old, he still exudes fatal charm.
Every time Qingto went to Thousand Houses in the past, he would always see an aunt who came from nowhere and chatted up Kiryu boss.
Facing the surprised and suspicious look from Qingden, Boss Kiryu smiled:
"I'm not a womanizer and have no interest in things between men and women."
"When I was young, I was obsessed with swordsmanship. I wanted to challenge powerful enemies and hone my sword skills."
??????55.??????
"After I became a member of Calabash House, I was busy all day long, so busy that my feet never touched the ground. I had endless things to do every day. I wished I could borrow the cat's paws to use, and I had no time to fall in love or get married."
"When I came back to my senses, my hair was already gray."
"But... then again, when I was young, my friends all thought that I would become a couple with my lord."
Suddenly, Qingdeng's brows raised sharply.
For a moment, he thought he had heard wrongly.
(My friends all thought that I would become a couple with my lord)... He felt as if he had heard some terrible gossip!
Driven by curiosity, Qingdeng subconsciously leaned forward, so close that he was almost touching each other's cheeks.
With this look, the words "Speak quickly! I want to hear the follow-up!" are almost written on his face.
When Boss Kiryu saw this, although he looked helpless, he did not resist.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"My lord and I are old acquaintances."
"I started working with her when she was a teenager."
"Roughly speaking, she and I have been friends for nearly eighty years."
"I was homeless at that time, just like a wild dog on the roadside."
"She gave me a place to stay."
"To be honest, my lord, she is quite annoying sometimes."
"For various reasons, she has an extremely high self-esteem, so she often says some harsh words or performs some puzzling behaviors."
"Fortunately, these shortcomings of hers have been gradually corrected with the increase of experience."
"However, until she corrects these problems of hers, she will indeed be a difficult character to deal with."
"The two of us often quarrel over trivial matters."
"But somehow, I never thought about leaving her."
"She and I spent eighty years together in a blur."
"Do I have romantic feelings for her?"
"To be honest, I don't know much about it myself."
"But what is certain is that our relationship has gone beyond ordinary friendship, family affection and love."
"Friends, family, lovers...these ordinary words are no longer enough to describe the relationship between me and my lord."
"For me, it no longer matters who my lord is to me."
"As long as I can continue to be by her side, that's enough."
"She is like half of me, not only very important, but also inseparable."
Qingden listened very carefully.
After Boss Kiryu finished speaking, he couldn't help but become a little curious about this old woman he had never met before.
——What kind of person can make Boss Kiryu have such deep feelings for her?
At this moment, Boss Kiryu paused.
When he spoke again, he suddenly changed into a faint tone:
"It's because I have a different kind of feeling for my lord... so when I was called to her and scolded by her a few days ago, I really felt like crying..."
"I'm really sorry!"
Qingden stooped down, lowered his head, bowed, and apologized.
The movements are smooth and smooth, done in one go.
…
…
A few days later——
Kyoto, Mibu Township, Shinsengumi camp, somewhere——
Sanako: "..."
Kinoshita Mai: "..."
The two girls met each other in the corridor, staring at each other with big eyes.
Both parties looked embarrassed and "didn't know what to say."
Sanako was the first to break the silence:
"……Good morning."
Kinoshita Mai stammered in response:
"Good morning, good morning..."
Sanako: "..."
Kinoshita Mai: "..."
Silence again...
Fortunately, Sanako quickly spoke again:
"Where are you going?"
Kinoshita Mai seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said quickly:
"I'm going to report to Mr. Hijikata on the current situation of Division 9."
Hearing this, Sanazi nodded gently:
"That's a coincidence. I happen to have something to report to Hijikata-kun."
Toshizo Hijikata, who holds the position of deputy commander, is in charge of military affairs, so he has the closest contact with the captains on weekdays.
Sanako took a deep look at Mai Kinoshita, then turned around and left.
When her figure was about to disappear into the shadows in the corner of the corridor, she said to Kinoshita Mai who was still standing there stupidly without looking back:
"Why are you still standing there? Aren't you going to see Mr. Hijikata too?"
Kinoshita Mai was stunned for a moment, then she stepped forward without realizing it, and hurriedly caught up with Sanako and walked side by side with her.
Sanako: "..."
Kinoshita Mai: "..."
Apart from the crisp sound of footsteps, there is no other sound...
An unspeakable awkward atmosphere lingered between them.
The weird relationship between them makes them not know how to face each other in private.
The road leading to Toshizo Hijikata's office seemed to have been lengthened several times.
Fortunately, at this moment, a reassuring voice suddenly sounded from behind them:
"Eh? Miss Mai? Miss Sanako? This combination is really rare."
Souji greeted the two girls warmly, quickened his pace, and ducked in front of the two girls.
Looking at the sudden appearance of Souji, Mai Kinoshita had a look of surprise on her face:
"General Secretary, why are you here?"
"I have something to ask Mr. Hijikata."
Sanako laughed dumbly:
"What a coincidence. Our destination is the same, and we also have something to go to Hijikata-kun."
"Huh? Is that so? That's great! We happen to be traveling on the same road!"
With the addition of the general manager, the atmosphere at the scene was instantly different.
It's like the bright sunshine shining into the foggy forest, dispelling the fog and illuminating the sky and the earth.
I saw Souji walking naturally and generously between Sanako and Kinoshita Mai, separating them.
She sometimes talks to Sanako about interesting things she encountered during military training, and sometimes shares with Mai Kinoshita the treasured dessert shop she recently discovered.
Souji, who seems to be the incarnation of a "succubus", has a good relationship with everyone - even Sanako and Kinoshita Mai, who have a "love rival relationship" with her, are no exception.
For a long time, the General Secretary has been playing the role of "lubricating oil" in their awkward little group.
Without Souji, it would be difficult for Sanako and Mai Kinoshita to establish normal communication.
Now, with the addition of Souji as a "transit station", Sanako and Kinoshita Mai can finally chat for a while.
After a moment, the door of Hijikata Toshizo's office came into view.
Just when the general manager raised his hand and was about to knock on the door——
"Kondo-kun, Hijikata-kun, I still insist on my opinion - even if it requires force, I must let Tachibana-kun get married as soon as possible!"
This is the voice of Shannan Keisuke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the director's raised little hand suddenly froze in mid-air.
In the next breath, as if they had agreed in advance, the three women all leaned their heads forward, put their ears to the door panel, held their breath and concentrated, trying to listen to what was going on behind the door.
"Shannan-kun, I can understand your mood. But marriage is something that cannot be rushed."
This is the voice of Isamu Kondo.
"A Sheng, on this point, I want to vote for Shannan. Now is not the time to 'let Tachibana slowly get a wife', now is the time to 'we need Tachibana to have at least one wife'."
Hijikata Toshizo's voice interrupted.

Please give me monthly votes, please recommend votes! (Leopard Head Cries)
Damn it, haven’t you written about the plot of Qingdeng’s marriage? (Leopard and Leopard Head shed tears) Actually, it’s useless even if you write about it, there’s no way to show the astringent plot in Leopard’s mind.
