The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Okay, no more kidding!"

Okita Hikaru stopped smiling.

"Don't worry, Souji. I'll take care of everything at home."

"You and Saizo, just do what you need to do."

"But what about offspring..." Okita Souji looked at Ian, but was too shy to say a word.

"Sister will take care of it."

"what?"

Okita Hikaru's answer once again left Ian and Okita Souji dumbfounded.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

The eldest sister lifted her long hair.

"Am I ugly?"

"Okita is as big as Toshizo—how could I lose to her?"

"It's just that it's not appropriate to have him come out with something like this, so we didn't let him out."

"Sister, you've already arranged everything?!"

Okita Souji was dumbfounded.

"Otherwise——"

Okita Hikaru smiled confidently.

"I am the eldest sister of the Okita family. If I don't do these things, should I wait for you, the third sister, and my second sister, Jin, to do it?"

"By the way—"

"Before I agreed to him, my suitors would line up at the city gate."

“Ooooooooooooooooooooo——”

"..."

Listening to Okita Hikaru's laughter, Ian found that he seemed to have underestimated the man in front of him.

Her backup plan...may be far more than you think.

Fortunately...I am already on your side.

Okita Hikaru laughed for a while, and then returned to his serious tone.

"But then again—"

"You just said you needed that unknown being called Ugly Gozen and wanted you to go to Kyoto, right?"

"Correct."

Ian nodded.

"Sister, what do you think?" asked Okita Souji.

"I have to go."

Okita Hikaru said without hesitation.

"This time she dared to cause trouble for the Genji Shrine, but there's no telling what she'll cause next time."

"Besides -"

Okita Hikaru's gaze fell on Ian and Okita Souji in front of him.

"You are indeed old enough to go out and explore the world."

"But before that, there's probably something I have to do."

"What's the matter?" Souji Okita and Ian asked in unison.

"Leave the army."

Okita Hikaru said word by word.

"You must obtain the Menxu Kaiden to truly complete your status as a beginner."

865. Okita Souji's First Kiss/The Meaning of Menkyo Kaiden (4k)

"..."

"..."

Menkyo Kaiden, a name that is no stranger to Ian and Okita Souji.

The exemption is a license, which refers to the permission for members of a school to teach the various skills of the school;

Jiechuan is a certificate that proves that the student has mastered all the skills of the school and passed all kinds of tests.

To put it in context, it means that one has inherited all the skills and officially become one of the masters of this skill.

That is the end of the original intention.

"That--"

Okita Souji asked cautiously.

"If you want to get something like this, then you have to..."

"Soji, you're right—" Okita Hikaru seemed to have known what his sister might be wondering, and quickly began to explain:

"No one is allowed to pass it on. Originally, it was something that every master or grandmaster was qualified to pass on."

"but……"

"Because Master Kondo is the only inheritor of the 'Natural Rishin-ryu', this actually becomes a challenge for him."

"Sister, you don't mean..." Ian also reacted.

"We are going to defeat the Master, right?"

"Yes."

Okita Hikaru nodded.

"If you leave without defeating Kondo Shusuke, I think you won't be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto even if you go there."

"This……"

Ian looked at Okita Souji, only to find that he was also looking at him.

It was obvious that neither he nor she was sure about defeating Kondo Shusuke.

"Let's not think about that for now."

Okita Hikaru tied up her hair and then sighed.

"you……"

"Especially you, big guy. You should heal your wound first."

"You can't rush into challenges or anything like that."

"understood."

[After all, as the heir of the Okita family, Okita Hikaru naturally has a lot of things to do.]

After a few more brief pleasantries, she left with the gift for the Great Miko.

[For a moment, you and Okita Souji were the only ones left in the room.]

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere became ambiguous.

After all, at this moment, Ian and Souji Okita have actually overcome that hurdle.

"Um..." The girl wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

But the man was as generous as ever.

"Okita."

"Could you please change my clothes for me?"

"I...want to go out for a walk."

"Hey, okay!"

Ever since——

At Ian's request, Okita Souji quickly and skillfully changed him into a set of clothes - it was a men's outfit corresponding to the shrine maiden's, but it was slightly looser on the physique.

"Be careful."

Okita Souji cautiously helped Ian up and left the room with him.

"..."

It was winter, and the warm sunshine shone on the man's face, bringing a touch of warmth.

Facing the pale yellow light, Ian and Okita Souji strolled along the path of the shrine.

"Okita, it's winter now."

"Yes, it is."

Okita Souji, who was wearing a shrine maiden's costume, nodded, and then became a little emotional.

"How many winters have I spent together with Saizo?"

"Nineteenth."

Ian laughed.

"I counted them—because I'm a year older than you."

"Eh……"

There was also a hint of warmth on Okita Souji's face.

"I see. We've been doing this since we were little, right?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, and then held Okita Souji's hand tighter.

"It'll be like this forever, right?"

"..."

"That's only natural..."

Okita Souji's head involuntarily leaned against Ian.

She had been looking forward to something like this for a long time, but it had never come true until now.

"Speaking of which, what kind of place is Kyoto?" The girl snuggled up to him and expressed her inner doubts.

"I do not know."

Ian shook his head.

"I've never been to a place like that, but I've heard it's the most prosperous place in all of Japan. There must be a lot of things we don't know about, right?"

"That's it..."

"What? Okita, are you scared?"

"How could I be afraid?"

Souji Okita looked at him beside him. Her cheeks had already turned red, perhaps because of the sun or the emotions from her heart.

"As long as Saizo is here, I won't be afraid no matter where I am."

"is it?"

"Hahahaha!" Ian laughed. "Then I have to live longer - otherwise, Okita, you'll soon become a coward again, right?"

"Ah, it hurts-"
