"Otherwise, why would you suddenly have such thoughts..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one answered because no one knew the answer to this question.

Even Kondo Isami, who has never left here, is the same.

"Let's not worry about this for now!"

"you--"

Kondo Isami looked at the two people in front of him, and his tone gradually became serious.

"Just now you said that you wanted to take Master's 'Mian Xu Jie Chuan', right?"

"That's right." Okita Souji nodded. "My sister said that if we don't get this, there's no point in going to Kyoto."

"..."

Kondo Isami was silent for a while, but still expressed his inner concerns.

"But if you want to obtain the Menkyo Kaiden, you must defeat the master in swordsmanship, right?"

"Let's not talk about whether we can win or not—"

The figures of Ian and Okita Souji were reflected in the girl's eyes.

"Can you... speak?"

"..."

With just a few words from Kondo Isami, Souji Okita and Ian realized a more serious problem.

That's right.

Let’s not worry about whether we can defeat Kondo Shusuke or not.

Just figuring out how to tell your master that you want to get this "Mian Xu Jie Chuan" is already a very difficult task.

"I really don't have any ideas..."

Kondo Isami looked at his two silent friends and sighed helplessly.

It’s not that she wanted to blame them, but she didn’t know where to start.

Issuing a challenge to the master or something...

However, at this moment, footsteps were heard from the corridor outside.

Immediately afterwards, Kondo Shusuke appeared in front of the three of them.

What was different from his usual slightly decadent appearance was that at this moment, he not only changed into a new set of clothes, but even the sword at his waist seemed to have been repaired.

"Satoshi, Okita, you're back."

"just--"

"I have something to talk to you about."

"Yes, is something wrong?"

Okita Souji was already feeling a little guilty, so his voice naturally trembled slightly.

But Kondo Shusuke's next words shocked everyone present.

"You guys—"

"Isn't it time for the apprenticeship exam?"

866. Okita Souji's Breast Comfort Method / Kondo Isami's Wandering (4k)

At this moment, Ian finally understood what it meant to have a pillow just when you were sleepy.

Before the three of them could figure out how to bring this up to Kondo Shusuke, the man came up on his own initiative.

This is so lucky!

only--

Unlike Ian and Souji Okita who looked very happy, Kondo Isami was not that excited.

On the contrary, her eyes were fixed on Kondo Shusuke, as if she had noticed something.

Such obvious behavior naturally could not have gone unnoticed by Kondo Shusuke. This man, who had changed his usual decadent appearance, quickly spoke:

"Yong, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you... have any opinion on what I said?"

"Nothing!"

Kondo Isami waved his hands repeatedly and quickly denied this statement, saying that this was not what he meant.

"I just wanted to remind Master that if Okita and Toshizou had just returned and we were to start the apprenticeship exam right away, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

"Eh……"

Hearing this, Souji Okita looked at Kondo Isami who was not far away.

She knew that what she said was indeed correct, but it always felt like there was something else behind it.

What on earth is it?

"Yong, what you said does make sense." Kondo Shusuke's hand gently stroked the sword at his waist.

It can be seen that he takes good care of his knife, and can even be said to treat it as a friend.

"Then let's take a few days off..."

"It can also be considered as a welcome gift for Okita and Toshizo."

【Kondo Shusuke is a man who does what he says. 】

[One moment he was still discussing the apprenticeship exam, and the next he began to earnestly prepare for the return of his two apprentices.]

[The reason why I say he is serious is because he rarely cooks for himself.]

[But…]

[As the saying goes, "A good cook can hardly be a good coachman."]

【Kondo Shusuke's cooking skills are really not commendable. 】

[Amidst the complaints of his adopted daughter Kondo Isami, the welcoming banquet was re-planned.]

【For the first time, it finally turned into a delicious meal. 】

[In the evening after dinner, you, Okita Souji, and Kondo Isami gathered together for a rare occasion.]

【The weather is good, and tonight is also a good night for moon viewing. 】

"What a beautiful moon—"

Souji Okita looked at the night moon in the sky, which was like a mirror, and couldn't help but sigh.

"How long has it been since you saw the moon like this?"

"I don't think it's because there's no moon—"

Kondo Isami also looked at the moon above his head.

"It's just that we were too focused on training and ignored these things."

"Being 0 doesn't matter, right?"

Ian was the last person to look at the moon overhead.

"Whether we look at it or not, the moon is there, isn't it?"

"As long as we continue to live our lives as usual, sooner or later we'll discover such a beautiful moon, right?"

"That makes sense~"

Souji Okita held Ian's hand tightly, then leaned on his shoulder very naturally.

"I'm sure I'll be able to see more beautiful moons with Toshizo in the future~"

"Hey, this..."

Okita Souji's blunt and undisguised words made Ian's heart palpitate.

However, he did not deny such things.

"Well, we'll definitely see more moons, right?"

"..."

What neither Ian nor Okita Souji noticed was.

Kondo Isami, who was talking just now, suddenly fell silent.

She looked at the two people in love with a rather lonely look, but there was not a trace of resentment in her eyes, only emotions full of blessings?

"Hey, Okita, Toshizo, do you think the moon in Kyoto would be rounder?"

"Hey, this..."

Okita Souji rested his chin on his hand and thought seriously.

"There shouldn't be any difference—"

"The moon in Kyoto is the moon, and the moon in Aoba is also the moon."

"Oh……"

Kondo Isami nodded thoughtfully.

"So, if I'm in Aoba and you're in Kyoto, we can still see the same moon, right?"

"..."

"..."

Souji Okita and Ian's eyes fell on Kondo Isami at the same time.

"Xiaoyong...what do you mean?"

Okita Souji asked this while looking at Kondo Isami who was looking up at the sky.

"How could...you say something like that?"

"Eh?"

As if realizing that he had said something strange, Kondo Isami quickly shook his head.

"Don't take it seriously, I was just saying it casually!"

"Isn't it the most likely time for such words to appear when the moon is full?!"

"..."

"If you have anything on your mind, just tell us directly."

Ian also looked at Kondo Isami.

"No! What are you talking about? What could I possibly be worried about?"

Kondo Isami argued like this and then stood up.

"You guys continue to admire the moon. I'm going back to sleep. I'm a little tired from doing too much today."

"Good night."

Without waiting for Ian and Okita Souji to answer him, Kondo Isami ran away, looking like he was avoiding something.

"..."

"..."

Ian and Okita Souji looked at each other, both at a loss.

"Xiaoyong...are you a little weird today?" The girl couldn't help but mutter.
