The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Ian said without hesitation.

"In the past, I relied on you to see the master—"

"This time, we should switch!"

859. Ian's drunken indulgence/Kondo Isami's secret efforts (4k)

"here you are……"

Hearing these words that made him feel trustful, Okita Souji's hands began to tremble.

"Sai San, are you serious?"

"My sister is not that easy to deal with."

"Of course I'm serious."

Ian tightened his grip on Okita Souji's hand.

"Anyway, since you don't want to do that, no one can force you to do it!"

"Even...even if she's your sister, it's not allowed!"

"Okita!"

"Let's go back! Tell her everything you're thinking, and then we can work together to find a way to make your sister change her mind!"

"..."

Souji Okita suppressed the tears that were about to flow out again and nodded.

"Ok!"

"Let's go back!"

You finally made Okita Souji look at his own thoughts again.

Whatever the outcome, you know you have to do something.

【absolute--】

[I absolutely cannot watch Okita Souji, who doesn't want to do this, being forced to go down that path!]

[However, when you return to your doorstep, you see an unexpected scene.]

I saw Hijikata Kiroku and Okita Hikaru talking to each other, laughing from time to time, and they seemed to be getting along quite well.

"Satoshi..." Okita Souji rubbed his eyes, "Did I see it wrongly——"

"I should be the one asking you this."

Ian's expression was even more surprised than Okita Souji's.

My brother was actually chatting and laughing with Okita Hikaru?!

"There must be something wrong, right?" He simply couldn't believe such a thing.

To know--

Not long ago, this woman was still scolding me and my sister with her eyes!

"Hey, Suisan, you're back!"

Hijikata Kiroku happened to see his younger brother at this moment. He had slightly pale hair and waved at the two of them.

His actions naturally caused a reaction from Okita Hikaru on the opposite side.

Dressed in a cool and elegant manner, she turned around and looked at Ian and Okita Souji.

It was night, and the bright moonlight covered the sad streets of Aoba Castle like a gauze, illuminating the boy and girl in the process.

Coincidentally.

As if Okita Hikaru had sensed something in advance, his gaze fell squarely on the hands of Ian and Okita Souji.

The latter was startled and decided to let go of his hand to prevent his sister from doing anything bad to him.

but--

What Okita Souji didn't expect was.

Just like he had held her hand before, Ian refused to let her hand escape from his hand no matter what.

He was like a chain, firmly "tying" Okita Souji beside him.

"Okita, we need to go over there."

"Eh……"

The girl blushed and wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded silently.

"Well, go ahead."

Ever since——

Just like that, facing the gazes of his brother and Okita Souji's sister, Okita Hikaru, Ian brought her in front of them.

"..."

"..."

The eyes of both parties met.

Ian thought it would be another earth-shattering confrontation, but he didn't expect the result to be unexpectedly different.

Okita Hikaru retracted his cold and chilling gaze, and replaced it with a simpler, half-believing and half-doubting look.

But before Ian could understand why the other party suddenly changed his attitude, Okita Hikaru suddenly asked another strange question.

"I'm only asking you once—"

"You, Hijikata Toshizo, are you serious?"

"..."

Although he had no idea what Okita Hikaru's question was about, Ian felt that he absolutely could not be overwhelmed by the woman in front of him.

"Yes!"

"I was serious!"

"I'm more serious than ever! I'm more serious than anyone else! Is that an okay answer?!"

"..."

Okita Hikaru sighed helplessly, as if he had accepted some unspeakable reality.

"I see."

Before Ian understood what was happening, Okita Hikaru came over and separated his and Okita Souji's hands in a not-too-rough manner.

"Soji, let's go back."

Okita Hikaru said this, and then before Ian could speak, he continued.

"Big idiot... No, Suisan, come to my house tomorrow."

"Remember, you're the only one here—I won't let anyone in if you're not already."

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

Ian and Souji Okita were a little overwhelmed by Okita Hikaru's sudden show of weakness.

But at least...

This isn't a bad thing, though.

"That's it. See you tomorrow."

Okita Hikaru seemed to not want to say anything more, and just left with his confused sister Okita Souji.

Only the elder brother Hijikata Kiroku was left, talking happily about something, looking like he had encountered a great joyful event.

But not long after, after gently patting Ian on the shoulder and saying "Well done, kid", the old man went back inside humming an unknown tune.

who am I?

am i there?

what am i doing?

what happened?

Who can tell me?

Ian stood outside the door, his head full of questions that had no answers.

And at this time——

A swipe.

The door of the house was opened again.

The person who came out was not Hijikata Kiroku, but Kondo Isami.

She just waved at Ian and said:

"Come in first—the meal is ready."

“Oh, oh…”

[Without knowing what was going on, you followed Kondo Isami back to the house.]

【What’s different from before is——】

[Tonight's dishes are particularly rich, even a bit exaggerated.]

You feel like something is wrong, but Kondo Isami holds your hand down, not letting you say a word.

Although you were reluctant to do this, you didn't say much when you saw that your brother Hijikata Kiraku and the rest of the family were very happy.

After dinner, you took a shower and returned to your room.

"What on earth... happened?"

You looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but think so.

[Of course there can be no so-called result - because you don't understand why it happens. ]

【And at this moment, Kondo Isami arrived. 】

Brush and pull.

The shoji screens in the room were pulled open, and the person who appeared there was none other than Kondo Isami.

only--

She didn't appear before Ian alone.

To be precise, I brought two bottles of wine.

"Have a drink, Suisan."

"..."

Although he didn't quite understand why Kondo Isami said such words at this time, Ian knew that she must have her own reasons for doing so.

"Okay, if you want to drink, have two."

Gulu gulu——

Sake flowed from the bottle and poured into the cup.

Bang.

The two clinked their glasses and started drinking.

"Is it my brother's wine?"

"Yeah." Kondo Isami nodded. "Because he's very happy today, so he just came here casually."

"Do not worry--"

"I gave money."
