On How Saitoichi Became Hijikata's Fanboy

In April of the third year of Bunjiu, the cherry blossoms had already bloomed all over Kyoto, and it had been some time since Saito arrived at the village, Hijikata Toshizo was much busier than he imagined.

For the development of the Mibu rogue group, Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isamu have been wandering between the Aizu domain and the Satsuma domain, dealing with the dignitaries of the shogunate, trying to let the low-level rogues have the same rights as the nobles; Suisan formulated strict "Military Laws" and strengthened military discipline, and the status of the Mibu Ronshi Group flourished day by day.

However, the Tengu Mito Party still exists in the Mibu Roshi Group like a cancer.

The weather is getting warmer, and the heavy winter clothes have been removed. Taking advantage of the good weather, Saitoichi is practicing sword skills in the martial arts arena.After staying in the village for more than a month, he would occasionally go out together to patrol the streets or teach the martial arts of the rogues, but he still refused to take any position in the group.

Although it is not unshakable, but...

At the moment when he was in a trance, Hijikata Toshizo appeared from nowhere, pulled out Wakizashi from his waist and made a move with Saito.During the days spent with Hijikata Toshisan, he already knew that he not only has the talent for governing the world, but also is very good at swordsmanship. This devil's deputy chief seems to be all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

"Saito-kun, it's tonight." Hijikata Toshizo and Saitoichi left a whisper in Saitoichi's ear when they were out of shape.

Saito was startled. He remembered the request of the blood-stained boy under the cherry blossoms that day. His answer was that there were unjust people like Serizawa duck in the Mibu Roshi group, which violated his samurai spirit. It's a team.

Hijikata Toshizo's words reveal that something big will happen tonight.

"Yu," Kondo Isamu came out of the house, saw Saito Kazu, was taken aback, and smiled, "Saito-kun is here too, let's go together tonight."

Saito looked at Isamu Kondo puzzledly.

"Did Sui tell you? Everyone is going to Kabukicho tonight." Isamu Kondo seemed very happy in his tone.

tonight?When Saito thought of Hijikata Toshizo's ambiguous words just now, the trip to Kabukicho might not be that simple.However, for him, the destination of the trip scares him more than the trip with unknown motives.

He was still young and had never set foot on an occasion like Kabukicho.

"Ichi-kun, you haven't been to Kabukicho before, have you?" Mr. Okita saw Saitoichi's embarrassment, he pulled Saitoichi aside with a chuckle, and whispered, "It's okay, I often go , you just do as I tell you."

After hearing Souji Okita's words, Saito's expression changed a few times, and finally returned to calm.

As soon as Saito returned to the house, Souji Okita laughed uncontrollably, Kazukun is really easy to be deceived.

Isamu Kondo looked at Souji Okita who was leaning forward and backward with a smile, and asked curiously: "Shoji, what did you say to Saito-kun?"

"I just told him some customs of going to Kabukicho." Okita Souji still didn't stop laughing.

At night, Saito realized that he had been cheated!

Mr. Okita told him that the women in Kabukicho have a miserable life experience. Although they are doing low-level jobs, they have extraordinarily strong self-esteem, so the rule of going to Kabukicho is to blend in with them. Both men and women must draw Kabuki pictures. Only makeup can enter.

So, he studied it carefully all afternoon, and when he came out of the house shyly, he realized that he was the only one wearing this strange makeup.

Seeing that someone was successfully teased by him, Okita Souji smiled so hard that his eyes bent into crescents in the sky.

Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isamu could only helplessly look at Okita Souji who was laughing while being chased by Saito with a knife and ran all over the room.

At nightfall, the group finally arrived at Kabukicho.

Saito caught a glimpse of Hijikata Toshizo, who was walking at the end, whispering to his mother. After being guided by the geisha, they walked through the corridor and walked to the room at the end.The sound of singing, dancing, drums and music is like a quiet spring, which is a rare and pleasant time.Saitoichi found that the other people except him seemed to be enjoying the drumming and dancing on the surface, but they were tense and seemed to be paying attention to the movement somewhere.

"Mr. Serizawa, Mr. Serizawa!" A loud shout from the next door was faintly heard between the loud drumming.

As soon as the sound came out, several people immediately bounced off the futon like a spring and rushed to the next room.

As soon as Saito followed, in the next room, Serizawa duck was already drunk, fell to the ground unconscious, and the geisha around him shouted in panic.When Saito thought of the whispering between Hijikata Toshizo and his mother-san just now, it turned out that Hijikata Toshizo had arranged all of this.

While he was meditating, Hijikata Toshimi threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground. As if he had received an order, Souji Okita drew his sword instantly and chopped Serizawa duck under the knife. Almost at the same time, a message came from outside Kabukicho. There was a lot of noise, the man with bloody hands hurriedly opened the screen, and reported to Toshizo Hijikata:

"Mr. Hijikata, all Mito Party members have been captured, all core members have been killed, and the rest have been imprisoned awaiting your order."

Hijikata Toshizo raised his head, as if looking towards the distant tomorrow, and said slowly, "The new chapter of Mibu Roshi Group has opened."

new chapter?As soon as Saito looked at the excited people, this...is their will. Although there are many difficulties and obstacles, they are always carrying forward on this road, and they are constantly moving toward the dawn at the end of the road. moving forward.

"The Serizawa party has been purged. I will use the "Military Code" to restrain the ronin, which is the same as the evil you believe in. Saito-kun, please join us." Hijikata Toshizo once again extended an invitation to Saito Kazu.

Saito looked at the steadfast Hijikata Toshizo, this man with a steely will, has been working hard towards the direction he expected. Is this also one of the eternal ones?At this moment, he wants to be by his side, to see the exciting future with him.

The author has something to say:

Regarding this chapter, I falsified a little bit of history. In history, Serizawa duck died in October of the third year of Wenjiu. For the needs of the plot, I let him die six months earlier... Don't blame me hahahaha
