The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Master, I..."

"Don't explain to me why first, just tell me if it's true."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Okita Souji finally nodded.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought that."

After saying this, Okita Souji lowered his head.

She knew this was a difficult thing to accept in training.

But she does not regret having such thoughts and is willing to take all responsibilities for it.

However, Kondo Shusuke did not blame Okita Souji at all. He just shook his head:

"Do not."

"It's not strange to have such thoughts."

"The instinctive desire to protect one's companions and not wanting their reputation to be harmed is a fundamental quality a swordsman must possess."

"Don't talk about you, I have done similar things before."

"Eh?"

Okita Souji blinked his beautiful gray eyes.

"Master, have you ever done something similar?"

"I'll explain it to you guys later when I have time..."

Kondo Shusuke smiled indifferently, as if he had buried many of his past events in his bottomless heart.

"But Okita, you should understand that this behavior is not helping Hijikata, but hurting him."

"A true enemy will not show mercy to you on the battlefield, let alone think about how to avoid your vital points."

"If you do this, it will lead to disaster sooner or later."

"..."

These are words that are more touching than reproach.

Okita Souji was speechless.

Because she knew that everything her master said was right.

You only regret not having enough swords when you need them. Any slackness may turn into a threat in the future.

She knew she was wrong.

However, Kondo Shusuke's next words rekindled Okita Souji's confidence.

"And... you don't think Hijikata really hasn't made any progress, do you?"

"Even just now, he actually found the weakness in your attack—it's just that he doesn't know how to break it because he doesn't have the basics."

"Ah, this?"

Hearing the unexpected answer, Okita Souji became excited.

"Master, are you saying that Hijikata isn't as bad as he appears?"

"Isn't that a sure thing?"

Kondo Shusuke crossed his arms across his chest, looking quite confident.

"I...will not make a mistake."

"So, discard all your previous thoughts! He is destined to defeat you!"

"..."

Souji Okita did not respond to his master, but took active action.

She quickly ran to Ian and asked directly:

"Sai San, can you continue?"

"can!"

Ian gritted his teeth and climbed up as fast as he could!

"Okita, I'm not that easily defeated!"

"I know!"

An inexplicably powerful aura emanated from Okita Souji.

"So just wait for me in the room obediently tonight!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I'm going to beat you half to death!"

"Wait a minute!"

"No, we can't wait even a moment!"

The boy's screams began to echo throughout the dojo once again.

847. Okita Souji's Private Server Time/Natural Reasoning Style of Defense (4k)

Late at night, somewhere in Kondo Shusuke's mansion.

"what--!"

"It hurts! Okita, please be gentler!"

Ian's wails echoed in the room, sounding like a pig being slaughtered.

“It hurts so much!”

"Sorry sorry!"

While apologizing to Ian, Okita Souji restrained the strength in her hands - at this moment, she was rubbing the various wounds on his back.

This looks like a very gentle picture, which fully reflects Okita Souji's thoughtfulness.

but--

If you take a deeper look, you will find that the "culprit" of these wounds is none other than Okita Souji in front of you!

This is……

During sword training, she "accidentally" inflicted a wound on her opponent!

"I'm sorry, Saizo."

Okita Souji rubbed Ian's back gently with his small hands, as if he was trying to rub away the bruises.

"I didn't know it would hurt you so much... If I had known, I would never have used so much force!"

"Eh!"

"You can't say that!"

Ian immediately interrupted his good friend Okita Souji and continued very seriously.

"Okita."

"That's the only way it makes sense—I'm here to learn, not to play!"

"Only if you give your all, that will suit my wishes the most!"

"Really, really?"

Hearing the forgiveness from his good friend, Okita Souji could hardly believe what he was learning.

But soon, she understood all this.

Because isn't this exactly what his master Kondo Shusuke said?

"A true friend shouldn't show mercy during training."

"Is that so?" Okita Souji couldn't help but laugh. "Then it seems I have to beat you harder next time - otherwise, I'll be letting Toshizo down."

"That sounds really arrogant!"

Ian said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"but--"

"Okita, you're really amazing. After all these attempts, I haven't even hit you once."

"Eh... am I really not suited to this?"

"..."

"not like this!"

Seeing Ian suddenly feeling emotional, Okita Souji quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Sai San, you've done a great job!"

"No need to comfort me, Okita."

Ian has a broad mindset.

"Awesome is awesome, not awesome is not awesome. Nothing you say can change this."

"That's not true!"

Souji Okita subconsciously exerted force on Ian's back, which naturally caused him to wail again.

"Feel sorry!"

The girl quickly let go of her hand and continued.

"But Sui San, things are really not what you think!"

"Master, I think you performed very well!"

"what?"

Ian endured the throbbing pain in his body, turned around and looked at his friend.

"Okita, are you serious?"

"I was beaten like that by you - Master, don't you think I'm a waste?"

"Yes! I really don't think so!"

Okita Souji immediately nodded and added.

"Master also said, don't doubt his gaze—the person he chooses will never be wrong!"

"That's it!"

"Ok!"

"Great!"

Before Okita Souji could react, he found himself being hugged by Ian.

She instinctively wanted to escape, but she saw Ian's face, which looked much more relaxed because he knew that his master had great confidence in her.

"..."

"Let him be like this for now..."

Souji Okita thought so, and then he did not resist Ian's hug at all, but allowed the other party to use him as a "tool" to vent his emotions.

It took Ian a while to calm down, and then he saw Okita Souji with a blushing face.

"Ah, sorry!"

The boy loosened his grip.

"Okita, I didn't mean it!"

"I know." Okita Souji straightened his sleeves as if to divert his attention, "So I didn't say anything."

"but……"
