Why did you join the Shinsengumi?
The commander asked him this question.
Then I remember the man smiling and saying, "You might not believe it, but for me, it won't be long before most of the sword-wielding people on this land become my enemies..."
Souji stared intently into the man's eyes.
The man's smile faded, and he sighed.
"Okay, actually, I was planning to woo you and marry you at first. After all, you're the super cute comedian Ms. Okita, and you're also a hidden big-breasted woman. It's rare to have the chance to meet you in person, so I'm bound to have the idea of marrying you."
"But now, um. I've realized that, without knowing when, I've come to regard you as family. Without knowing when, I've unconsciously gotten used to the daily arduous training, used to practicing swordplay with you, used to sparring with you using real swords, used to facing the enemy's encirclement with you back to back..."
"For me, this is a new life, a completely unfamiliar land. If what you want to pursue is a higher level of swordsmanship, then I don't mind accompanying you to climb to the pinnacle of swordsmanship."
At this point, Souji remained silent for a long time and did not continue.
Yae Sakura eagerly pressed, "And then? What happened next?"
"later……"
What could possibly follow?
For a swordswoman like her, these words were the most romantic confession in the world. The person confessing to her was someone she had long been accustomed to, someone as indispensable as eating, breathing, and practicing swordsmanship. How could she refuse?
Chapter Twelve: In the bedroom, unable to get out of bed
Souji is very self-aware. In swordsmanship, she is a genius swordswoman, a swordswoman of the Bakumatsu era who wields the infallible magic sword. However, in matters of the heart, she is completely inexperienced.
She didn't understand what love really meant, but she felt that if she had to choose someone to spend her life with, she would choose that man without hesitation.
So she took the man's hand.
Of course, she would never tell Yae Sakura, the beautiful girl she had only known for a day and who might even be her love rival, about these things.
So, the commander's answer was quite concise and clear.
"Later I held his hand and he contracted tuberculosis from me. Then I became seriously ill and died. I don't know what happened after that."
The commander told the truth, but he didn't tell the whole story.
She didn't mention that she saw Ye Ming again in Chaldea after her death. Although her perception of Ye Ming was not very clear, as if separated by infinite dimensions, Souji was certain that the person on the other end was Ye Ming.
Souji still remembers the joy she felt when she first met Ye Ming. However, her happiness was short-lived. Not long after she arrived at Chaldea, she was surprised to find that she was not the only Heroic Spirit in Chaldea who liked Ye Ming.
However, Souji is certain that she is the first Heroic Spirit to leave Chaldea and come to this world—although she doesn't know how she came to this world.
"Then why don't you just go see him and tell him everything?"
Yae Sakura, unaware of Souji's inner thoughts, couldn't help but ask.
Souji shook her head. She had been in this world for a long time and had even obtained a legal identity. Naturally, she had already thought things through regarding Yae Sakura's situation.
“During the Bakumatsu period, we were the most renowned swordsmen in the Shinsengumi, executioners with blood on our hands. That past is too heavy, and I don’t want him to bear that heavy past again.”
"I want to stay by his side quietly, protect him, find the right time to get close to him, get to know him again, start over, and try to create a new future together, without killing or responsibility, only hope and a warm and happy daily life."
The commander spoke calmly.
For a swordsman, patience is an essential quality, while recklessness often leads to losing the initiative and putting oneself in a dangerous situation.
As an excellent swordsman, Souji has enough patience to wait patiently for the best opportunity to launch a fatal blow and take down his target in one fell swoop!
Everything can be a sword, and this swordsmanship experience, when applied to love, will undoubtedly be a sure-fire, foolproof weapon!
This is the bare minimum of trust a swordsman has in the sword in his hand.
Okita Souji was undoubtedly the most outstanding swordsman.
Yae Sakura greatly admired this swordsman's mindset and composure.
"I wish I could be like you."
Yae Sakura genuinely admires Okita Souji's calm and collected plan.
Souji glanced at Yae Sakura and asked in return, "And what about you? You've been in this world for a long time now, haven't you? Why don't you acknowledge him?"
Upon hearing this, Yae Sakura's rabbit ears drooped instantly: "Actually, when I first arrived in this world, I did plan to go straight to him, but later, I..."
Yae Sakura said with a frustrated look, "I'm scared. I'm afraid he'll dislike me and kick me out."
"Why? According to you, you like him, right? He takes good care of you, so why are you afraid?" Souji asked curiously.
"because……"
"Because later I came across a game called Honkai Impact 3, and the relationship between the captain and the Valkyrie in it..."
Halfway through her sentence, Yae Sakura also didn't know how to explain. After thinking for a moment, she simply took out her phone, opened an app called Bilibili, and then, after a brief pause, opened an app called Tieba: "There's been a lot of drama lately, you'll understand once you take a look."
"Honkai Impact 3, is it a game like FGO?"
The commander-in-chief became interested upon hearing this.
She took Yae Sakura's phone, glanced at it, and suddenly her expression hardened. She put down the phone and picked up her longsword.
"Watch out! Someone opened the door at Ye Ming's place upstairs; it's a master!"
A very, very high-level master, so high that even a swordsman like Souji couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.
“Let’s go take a look together.” Souji looked at Yae Sakura. “The newcomer is very strong, and I need your help.”
Yae Sakura, who also noticed the commotion, looked serious. She didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly. She then opened the living room window, jumped up to the ninth floor, and clung to the outside of Ye Ming's bedroom window.
The commander, holding a long sword, followed closely behind.
Upon seeing the two figures, one large and one small, huddled together on the bedroom bed, the two girls outside the window stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
At the same time, Fu Hua, who was in the living room, also came to her senses from the shock, pushed open the bedroom door, and strode in.
"Ye Zi, get up!"
Fu Hua entered with a cold face and, without any hesitation, flicked her forehead.
Ye Ming cried out in pain, opened his eyes, and exclaimed in surprise when he saw Fu Hua: "Huh? Fu Hua, you really dyed your hair? It looks pretty good."
As he spoke, he tried to sit up.
The sleepy creature Laffey, who was clinging to him, twisted and writhed on Ye Ming's body in dissatisfaction, and the terrifying power of the ship girl instantly made Ye Ming unable to move.
"Commander's skills are terrible! Hehe!"
In his sleep, Raffi seemed to be dreaming about washing his hair last night, mumbling incoherently and laughing happily.
Ye Ming broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
Chapter Thirteen: The Proposal
Oops!
What should I do if my childhood friend catches me sleeping with a little girl in his arms?
Waiting online, very anxious.
If Ye Ming was only a little anxious when he woke up and saw Fu Hua, and could still maintain his composure on the surface, he panicked immediately after Laffey mumbled the terrible line, "Commander's skills are terrible~".
What Fu Hua thinks of him is secondary. After all, although they were childhood sweethearts, their relationship wasn't very close as they grew up, and Ye Ming didn't have any ulterior motives towards her. What Ye Ming was afraid of was Fu Hua telling his family about this.
Although his mother is very open-minded and can say things like "Mom fully supports you to ruin Fu Hua as soon as possible," if it were someone else, even the most open-minded mother would never say "Mom fully supports you to ruin the little loli as soon as possible," right?
If this gets out, it'll definitely be a social disaster.
"Lafite, wake up, wake up!"
Ye Ming reached out to try to push away Laffey, who was pressing down on him, but the delicate and soft loli was actually a steel warship that roamed the oceans. How could Ye Ming's strength, which was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, possibly push away a destroyer weighing several thousand tons?
Therefore, after struggling several times, Ye Ming not only failed to push Raffi away, but also messed up Raffi's hair and clothes. Raffi, who usually wore loose clothes, even had the right half of her pajamas slip off her shoulder, revealing her fair and tender shoulder, making her look even more erotic.
Fu Hua, who was standing by the bed, frowned and her blood pressure soared.
She really wanted to grab Lafite, give Ye Ming a good beating with a single blow, and then confront him.
However, Fu Hua was not a simple-minded, self-centered woman. She was an immortal who had protected the land for thousands of years. Although she lived a life detached from the world, she had long been accustomed to the vicissitudes of human life and was mature in spirit. She knew Ye Ming's personality well and knew that if she really did this, it would only lower her standing in Ye Ming's eyes.
Moreover, she didn't believe Ye Ming would be the kind of pervert who would harm a little girl.
Of course, that's what she thought rationally, but emotionally, Fu Hua was still very angry.
But you still have to keep smiling.
Fu Hua clenched her fists secretly, but her face remained calm, even with a faint smile.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Looking at Ye Ming's panicked eyes, Fu Hua said with a slight smile, "Are you afraid I'll think of you as the kind of pervert who would lay a hand on a little girl? Are you afraid I'll tell your mother about this?"
"Please, we grew up together. Don't I know what kind of person you are? Do you think I would act like a stranger and start a huge fight just because I saw this scene, suspecting you of doing something terrible or questioning your character?"
With just a few words, Fu Hua subtly positioned herself as someone who wasn't an outsider. Looking at Ye Ming, her eyes held a mixture of sadness and disappointment: "It seems that after not seeing each other for several years, we have indeed grown quite estranged. Even the tacit understanding and trust we used to have are gone."
Fu Hua's attitude relieved Ye Ming, who was initially a little flustered. However, Fu Hua's subsequent words made Ye Ming feel even more embarrassed.
"No, no, it's just that it's been years since I last saw you. You've changed a lot. You're even more beautiful than before. You don't quite match the class monitor I remember."
As Ye Ming spoke, he nudged Lafite again.
Perhaps Ye Ming's repeated shoving had an effect, or perhaps Ye Ming and Fu Hua's conversation disturbed Lafite; in any case, the little girl in her sleep hummed a few times in dissatisfaction, rolled off Ye Ming, grabbed a pillow and covered her head, hiding herself under the soft pillow to block out the noisy noise.
Ye Ming breathed a sigh of relief, quickly covered Raffi with the blanket, and got out of bed.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to come until the afternoon at the earliest, but you arrived here at nine o'clock in the morning. I was planning to pick you up in the afternoon."
Ye Ming spoke as he put on his clothes.
“My mom has already told me about your situation. You don’t need to rush about the house. My place is quite close to the subway, so transportation is very convenient. You can settle down first and then slowly choose a suitable house.”
To be honest, because Lafite's situation is so special, last night Ye Ming even considered helping Fu Hua find a house as soon as possible so that Fu Hua could move out quickly. But now, Ye Ming is too embarrassed to think about it.
Have you had breakfast?
As they were talking, Ye Ming had already gotten dressed.
"No." Fu Hua shook her head.
"How about we go downstairs and grab something to eat?" Ye Ming suggested.
