The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"It is very big...I felt the same way when I first came here."

"..."

Hearing this, Shima Qiyong seemed to realize something.

She placed the plate in her hand little by little into the pool of clear water, and then said:

"Come to think of it, you haven't told me how you got here yet?"

"Can you please tell me?"

"..."

"It's not really that convenient or inconvenient." Ian followed Shima Qiyong and put the plate in his hand. "Master just gave me this opportunity to understand the 'Natural Reasoning Flow'."

"..."

Shima Qiyong's throat moved slightly.

"So that's not food?"

"..."

"How could it be food?" Ian looked at the girl who said this in silence, "This must be kendo, right?"

"but--"

"According to what you said, don't you actually know Master very well?"

"..."

Shima Qiyong was silent for a long time before he continued.

"I really don't know much about it."

"After all, there are so many things to do every day, and the only memories I have of Uncle Kondo are the visits he made during the holidays."

"My father only described him as 'a friend I could definitely rely on,' and I... don't really understand that kind of thing."

"..."

Somehow, Ian found that he could unexpectedly understand Shima Qiyong.

Maybe it’s because their backgrounds are indeed somewhat similar.

"it does not matter!"

He comforted her.

"Since you visit every holiday, it means your father is a very important friend to Master."

"In that case, he'll definitely take good care of you no matter what—at least from now on, you won't have to worry about not having enough to eat, right?"

"Yes!"

Shima Qiyong seemed to have found the meaning of life.

"If that's the case, Dad won't have to worry about my future life!"

"But then again—"

Shima Qiyong's tone became much more confused.

"What's your relationship with Okita?"

"It looks like you two are very close—just now when you were having breakfast, you both took food from each other's bowls, right?!"

"This one……"

It would have been fine if Shima Qiyong hadn't said it, but after she mentioned it, Ian realized that he and Okita Souji did indeed do things that seemed overly intimate to outsiders, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Could it be that you are..."

Before Shima Qiyong could finish his words, a figure appeared at the kitchen door, followed by a reply full of justice.

"It's a master-servant relationship!"

"Sui San, you are my servant—I have a contract to prove it!"

Yes.

The person who said this was none other than Okita Souji.

At this moment, she supported her waist with her hands, then walked between Ian and Shima Qiyong, and forcibly separated the two of them.

"All right!"

"Let's wash the dishes together!"

"Don't dilly-dally!"

[You don't know when Okita Souji came here.]

【But you are not surprised. 】

[After all, although she is nominally a young lady, Okita Souji doesn't have the airs of a young lady at all.]

[It's common for us to wash dishes together like this.]

【only--】

After washing the dishes, Okita Souji did something that he normally wouldn't do.

【She... drove you away! 】

"Sui San, please go out for a moment."

Before Ian could answer, Souji Okita pushed his shoulder, pushed him out of the kitchen, and slammed the door shut.

But as soon as the door was closed, the girl's tone immediately changed as if she were a different person.

"Shima Qi, you didn't say anything nonsense to Sui San, did you?"

"No, no." Shima Qiyong was a little at a loss.

"Did Sui San say anything nonsense to you?!"

"No."

Shima Qiyong was confused.

She picked up the dry cloth beside her, wiped the water off her hands, and then said:

"Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? Is there some secret that Saizo can't tell me?!"

"Eh!"

Okita Souji held Shima Qiyong's shoulders, and his anxious look was completely different from before.

"Has he given you permission to call him that?!"

"This is not..."

Shima Qiyong still looked at Okita Souji in front of him with a puzzled look.

"That's just what I call him personally—"

Okita Souji breathed a sigh of relief.

But in less than a second, she was aroused by Shima Qiyong's next words.

"But I think if I call him like that, he probably won't refuse, right?!"

"No, no, no!"

Okita Souji shook his hands.

"Shima Qi, you absolutely can't call him that!"

"why?"

After eating and drinking his fill, Shima Qiyong didn't quite understand Okita Souji's behavior.

"Isn't this a normal name?"

"No!"

"That's not normal!" Okita Souji said without giving in. "You and he just met—how can you just call him by his name like that?"

"You should call him by his last name, just like Master!"

"Hijikata——"

"Homi-kata--" As if afraid that Shima Qiyong wouldn't understand, Okita Souji said it twice, and the second time was much clearer than the first.

"..."

Shima Qiyong's eyes rolled around.

She felt as if she understood something extraordinary.

"Okita, you don't have any bad thoughts about Hijikata, do you?"

"Eh?"

Just these words made Okita Souji's cheeks flush like the rising sun.

"not like this!"

"Forget it! It's too much trouble to explain to you! Anyway, remember not to call him like that, there will be very bad consequences!"

"Now, I have to spar with him!"

"Shima Qi, see you later!"

Having said this, Okita Souji fled from the kitchen at an extremely fast speed like a defeated samurai.

Looking at her departing back, Shima Qiyong nodded thoughtfully.

"So this is ah……"

"Hey, I think I can do something."

850. Okita Souji's experience of being slept with? / Shima Qiyong's step-by-step approach (4k)

Kondo Shusuke's absence wasn't as long as you might think.

[About half a day after Shima Qiyong arrived at the residence, he returned here.]

【only……】

【All this seemed to be a sad memory to him.】

"..."

"Okita..."

"Um...what's wrong?"

"How many times has Master read that letter?"

"This is the third or fourth time..." Okita Souji answered his friend.

"Maybe... Master really cares about this?"

Just like what Ian and Okita Souji are saying right now.

After returning to the mansion, Kondo Shusuke had read the letter brought by Shima Qiyong over and over again, as if he was afraid of missing any word on it.

This was the first time the two of them saw him like this.

"Anything else? Even just some seemingly insignificant accessories."

Kondo Shusuke put down the letter in his hand and asked Shima Qiyong this question.

"No more." Shima Qiyong shook his head and turned his pockets over.

She seemed to want to use this method to prove that she had nothing else.

"My father only gave me this letter... There really wasn't anything else."

"..."

Kondo Shusuke's expression suddenly became sad.

That was an expression he almost never showed in front of Ian and Okita Souji.
