, a cute girl who is full of vitality at heart. She likes to chat with Ah Wu. As long as she is with Ah Wu, she will feel inexplicably relaxed."

"Miss Sanako too!"

Souji's gaze shifted drastically, from Kinoshita Wuten to Sanako.

"Tachibana-kun has never mentioned Sanako-san's matters at all."

"'Miss Sanako is really a very reliable and handsome Samurai Hime'."

"'Miss Sanako is so elegant and generous. I really hope I can behave as elegantly as Miss Sanako.'"

"'I went to the Little Chiba Sword Hall again today. Every time I chat with Miss Sanako, I feel like I'm like a spring breeze.'"

"There are too many such remarks."

"Every time Tachibana-kun goes to Chishiya or Little Chiba Sword Hall, he will basically talk to me about the two of you after returning to the Trial Guard Hall."

"Tachibana-kun seems like he can't finish talking about the two of you."

"To be honest, Mr. Orange's regard for you two... makes me a little jealous of you two."

After saying this, Souji showed a sweet smile with his eyes narrowed into two crescents.

Comfortable and bright. At first glance, I didn’t notice any strange sunny smile.

After Souji finished speaking, Kinoshita Mai and Sanako opened their big eyes, showing a dazed expression.

Not to mention the two of them... Qingdeng was also stunned.

Qingden stared blankly at the DG, dumbfounded.

The director-general's demeanor has always been very natural, without any sense of hypocrisy or artificiality.

If Qingdeng hadn't known the inside story, he would have been fooled by the General Secretary!

He did mention Kinoshita Mai and Sanako to Souji... but the frequency was far from "frequent"!

As for words such as "Amai is essentially a very kind, interesting, and lovely girl full of vitality" and "I really hope I can behave as elegantly as Miss Sanako", he has never said that

Never told anyone!

However, Qingden is not a fool either.

He soon understood the reason why the General Secretary suddenly intervened in this chaotic "Shura field" and made up so many lies that were obviously beneficial to him.

Qingdeng reacted and immediately cast a moved and grateful look at the director-general who had given him crucial assistance at this critical moment.

The "rescue" from the General Secretary took effect immediately.

Although Sanako still looks stern, the lines on her face have softened a lot.

Not to mention a girl like Kinoshita Mai who has soft ears and is easy to coax.

——In Qingdeng’s eyes, I am one of his best and most important friends...

She lowered her head shyly, and the awe-inspiring aura she had just stared angrily at Qingdeng and questioned Qingdeng with her eyes suddenly dissipated at this moment.

A silly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

——In other words, in Qingto's heart, I am at least on the same level as Miss Chiba...

No matter in appearance or temperament, I am not as good as Chiba Sanako. Such a person, I can actually have the same weight in Qingto's heart as Chiba Sanako - these two people often have a close relationship in front of Sanako.

For Mai Kinoshita, who has a weak mentality, this is really exciting and inspiring.

As Mai Kinoshita, who was easy to coax, showed a blushing and shy expression, the tense atmosphere that permeated the surroundings was instantly relieved.

Seeing this, the director-general nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, she lightly opened her red lips again, as if she wanted to say something to the two girls in front of her.

only……

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Very suddenly, she coughed violently...

…

…

At this moment——

Edo, Ryogoku Bridge, somewhere——

“Ho…ho…ho…ho…ho…”

A tall ronin, carrying a large gun with the barrel wrapped tightly around the head, and a large wooden box on his back, was panting heavily with phlegm, his head drooped, and he was shaking.

Move forward.

This ronin's body and clothes were all horribly dirty.

His body exuded a disgusting stench.

This kind of poor-looking ronin has always been a troublesome person that people are afraid of avoiding.

Generally speaking, ronins who lose their jobs and can only wander around looking for work are extremely poor.

It's okay to be poor, but they all carry swords, ancestral weapons and other weapons on their bodies.

In the eyes of ordinary people, poor and armed ronin are just a bunch of mobile "bombs". Countless crimes are committed by desperate ronin. God knows what they will do.

"Uh-huh...!"

Suddenly, the ronin, who was carrying a large wooden box on his back and a large gun in his hand, accidentally kicked a raised object on the ground and fell to the ground.

Just as he was struggling to get up from the ground——

"...!"

The sound of air escaping came from Ronin's throat, and his expression was instantly clouded.

His hands reflexively moved to his head, holding on tightly as if to endure.

"Medicine...medicine..."

The ronin put his trembling right hand into his arms, took out a small medicine bottle, and poured out a small red and purple pill.

After swallowing the pill eagerly, Ronin's pain suddenly eased a lot.

But just a few seconds later, his facial lines tightened again... no, became even more tense!

"Ahhh!"

The Ronin suddenly let out a strange cry, slumped to the ground, gritted his teeth and stared at the empty void ahead.

"You big salt rebels! How long are you going to pester me?!"
