This seemingly normal request was rejected by Kondo Isami at this moment.

The girl raised her head and spoke in a very serious tone:

"Come in with me, right now! Right now! Now!"

"No, how can we go in together?"

"Why not?" Kondo Isami asked Ian, "Since you can sleep with Okita, why can't you come in here with me?"

"..."

Kondo Isami's words almost choked Ian to death in the waterfall.

"Your situation is different from hers!"

"So you think I'm unworthy of this?"

"..."

There was another moment of silence. Kondo Isami's words were too sharp. Ian, who was not good at this kind of rebuttal, was naturally stunned.

"This……"

"Okay, don't hesitate anymore!" Kondo Isami had no intention of giving Ian any time to think.

She directly took the other person's hand.

"Just come with me, don't think too much."

"you……"

Ian couldn't say much to refute the other party, and could only let the other party drag him into the waterfall.

Hua Hua Hua——

The sound of the waterfall hitting the rocks echoed above the blue sky.

Ian and Kondo Isami's clothes also became wet because of this. It was the impact of the waterfall, and now it was displayed in front of the two of them without any concealment.

But this is just the beginning.

To be more precise, it was an extremely bad start.

Because Ian soon felt Kondo Isami's hand moving in the water.

then……

It is like a fish that stays in a place where it shouldn't stay.

"Xiaoyong, what are you doing!"

"Do not talk……"

Kondo Isami hugged Ian from behind, with a rare hint of shyness in his tone.

"You don't think I'm willing to do this, do you? If you say it so loudly, I'll be embarrassed too."

"So, don't be so loud..."

"But you are..."

"I just want you to relax."

Kondo Isami stood on tiptoe and rested his head reluctantly on Ian's shoulder.

Although her figure is a little taller than Okita Souji, it is still far from Ian's level.

"Come on, Suisan."

[The puffing sound became the best cover at this moment.]

[Your clothes and Kondo Isami's wet clothes touched each other. It was as if they were made of the same piece.]

【But that’s not really the case.】

【This was just a proactive action by Kondo Isami. 】

She knows you're under a lot of pressure, more than anyone can imagine.

"Since the pressure is so great, let's deal with it the manly way."

[Inspired by this thought, Kondo Isami's actions at this moment were born.]

As the third disciple of the Tennen Rishin-ryu school, Kondo Isami's hand strength is quite impressive.

[But at the same time, she hasn't lost her feminine fragility.]

[The coming and going were surprisingly perfect, as if they were born to be one.]

【You lose. 】

【You were defeated by Kondo Isami. 】

[This is a different kind of kendo competition than the previous one, and you lost miserably in this kind of competition.]

[Clatter, clatter—]

The sound of the waterfall falling on the rocks echoes in your ears.

[Some unclean things also happened quietly under such cover.]

[You finally released the pressure of the past few days for the first time.]

【Then came the second time, and the third time.】

[Isamu Kondo will accompany you silently until you shout "stop."]

I don’t know how long it will take.

Isami Kondo was rubbing Ian's back, but her words were saying something else.

"Are you really not going to continue? I'm fine."

"If it's Saizo, it's normal for it to happen any number of times."

"That's enough."

Ian sighed.

He let out all the depression in his heart and was now calmer than anyone else.

"Thank you, Xiaoyong."

"Nothing to thank me for." Kondo Isami rubbed Ian's back gently with his towel.

I don't know when, but this girl has developed the attributes of a wife.

"But I think, Suisan, you should understand what the situation is like now, right?"

"..."

Of course Ian understood what Kondo Isami meant.

Souji Okita is very fond of kendo, at least that's what it seems on the surface.

But now she hasn't returned to this mansion for almost half a month.

That means that she may never come back in her lifetime.

This is not only something that Ian is worried about, but also something that Kondo Isami cares about.

"That's not the case... Okita, I'm not that kind of person."

"She may not be that kind of person, but it is very likely that she has encountered something like that."

"You..." Kondo Isami moved himself closer to Ian.

"Are you really not afraid of that situation?"

"..."

Ian didn't answer, but this was more like an answer than a reply.

Kondo Isami knew that he was in that state of wavering at the moment.

However, the girl was best at dealing with him in this state.

"Hey...Ian, don't you wish the person who just helped you do that was Okita?"

"Hey, Xiaoyong you!"

"Don't blame me, I just suggested a possibility."

Kondo Isami's voice became more and more charming.

"I don't mind helping you, but if it weren't for Okita, it wouldn't have such a profound meaning."

"Do you really want to be in a situation where you never see each other again?"

"Even if... yours is that big?"

Although such words are ridiculous and unruly.

But Ian knew that what Kondo Isami expressed was indeed right.

Once you miss it, you may never want to see it again.

"Xiaoyong, will you accompany me to a place tomorrow?"

"what is the place?"

"Aoba Castle! I want to find out why Okita didn't come back!"

"..."

Kondo Isami smiled with satisfaction.

"Well, I'll go with you."

856. Okita Souji's Silent Departure/Return to Aoba Castle/Funeral (4k)

You told Kondo Shusuke that you wanted to go back to Aoba Castle with Kondo Isami.

[As if he had anticipated this happening, Kondo Shusuke's reaction was extremely calm.]

He took a drag on the cigarette in his hand, then nodded, agreeing to your request.

[And before leaving, this swordsmanship master left only a few words for you and your adopted daughter Kondo Isami.]

“Do what you think is right. No matter what the outcome is, at least don’t let yourself regret it.”

Although Kondo Shusuke didn't show much emotion when he said this, you could sense that he was hiding a lot of stories in this.

【So--】

【Write this down.】

【Maybe it will come in handy at some point in the future. 】

[Thinking this way, you once again set out on the road back to Aoba Castle.]

In the early morning, it was not yet fully light.

The sound of a door closing was heard from Kondo Shusuke's residence.

That's Ian and Kondo Isami getting ready to leave.

In order not to waste time, and also because they were worried about not having enough time, they chose to leave early in the morning.

“It’s really early…”

Kondo Isami looked at the road in front of him, which was illuminated by the sun that had just risen, and his expression seemed a little complicated.

"Sai San, do you know that we may encounter many unexpected things on this trip?"

"Of course I understand."

Ian sorted out his clothes and the things he was going to take with him, his tone more serious and solemn than ever before.

"but--"

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see from me? If I gave up halfway now, you'd probably think I was a complete loser, right?"

"..."

Kondo Isami laughed.
