【Everything... doesn't seem that simple.】

In the courtyard at dusk, winter is quietly coming to an end.

The breath of spring gradually spreads across the entire earth, calling for the scent of seeds.

only--

For the three people at this moment, there is not the slightest feeling of spring in their hearts. Instead, they all feel like they are still in the cold winter.

Finally, it was Ian who spoke again:

"Okita, Xiaoyong, do you... feel that Mr. Ba's reaction is a little bit strange?"

"Just a little bit wrong?" Kondo Isami, who had opened his mouth, crossed his arms over his chest, looking quite dissatisfied.

"This is insane no matter how you look at it—is it really necessary to act like this just because of a letter?"

"The key point is that there's no substantial reward in the letter. It's just some polite words that I'd say anyway. I don't understand why he's so happy."

"..."

Isami Kondo is simply Ian's voice replacement.

Everything she said was exactly what the man was thinking at the moment.

only……

Ian soon noticed Okita Souji's hesitation again.

Knowing her well, the man understood that Okita Souji was thinking of something again.

"Go ahead, Okita. Just say whatever you think. Don't worry about it being different from mine and Xiaoyong's."

"..."

Okita Souji nodded, and then began to express his inner thoughts.

"I'm wondering... maybe Mr. Ba is so excited not because of that letter?"

"..."

This is an idea that neither Ian nor Kondo Isami had thought of.

"If it's not a letter, then what else could it be?" Kondo Isami said, supporting his waist.

"That's why you became like this after reading the letter."

"No, Xiaoyong."

Okita Souji shook his head.

"Don't you remember what he just said—'With the General's arrival, the sky in Kyoto will be bright.'"

"This statement at least proves that Master Eight has absolute respect for the General, right?"

"This……"

Kondo Isami really had no way to refute this statement, after all, she had heard it too.

And Okita Souji's words also gave Ian new thoughts.

"Come to think of it, when Mr. Eight first greeted us, he also mentioned the General, right?"

"No...it's more than just a greeting."

Ian felt like he had discovered something.

"Even the reason we came to this village was because of the General!"

"..."

After a few simple words, Kiyono Hachiro's purpose seemed to be refreshed again in front of several people.

But just like that, new problems arose before the three of them.

why?

What is the purpose of Seino Hachiro wanting to attract the general so much?

Simple admiration?

Or is there some other reason?

The three of them couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.

However, at this moment, a new turning point appeared before everyone.

thump—

There were a few crisp knocks on the door, and it sounded like someone very polite was outside.

Ian and the other two looked at each other, totally surprised at who would come to visit at this time.

but……

Since everyone who comes to your house is a guest, there is no need to turn them away.

With this thought in mind, Ian walked forward and opened the door.

only--

The moment the door opened, Ian became alert instantly after seeing the person outside.

because……

The person standing outside the door was none other than the man with whom he had duelled not long ago!

It’s Shannan Jingzhu!

[The moment you saw Yamanami Keisuke, your past duel experiences instantly flashed through your mind.]

[This is a man whose swordsmanship is as good as yours. He masters the Hokushin Ittoryu and also possesses the Menkyo Kaiden.]

【As for his scheming, he exudes an air of conspiracy from head to toe.】

[This is someone who should never be underestimated, and it was like this before, and it is still like this now.]

[A visit at this moment is definitely not as simple as it seems.]

【Your vigilance is at its highest level at this moment.】

【only--】

[Just like Seino Hachiro's madness, Yamanami Keisuke's next behavior is also beyond your expectations.]

【He is not here for revenge.】

"..."

Looking at the person in front of him, Ian's vigilance was instantly raised to the maximum.

He endured the pain in his arm and planned to draw the sword from his waist.

But at this moment, Yamanami Keisuke spoke:

"Does it hurt?"

"..."

Ian did not answer Yamanami Keisuke - he knew that his every word and action could be used by the other party.

But at this time, Yamanami Keisuke did something that Ian had never imagined.

He took off the sword from his waist and threw it towards Ian along with the scabbard.

After confirming that the other party had indeed obtained his sword, he spoke again:

"Okay, now you can trust that I'm not here to cause you any trouble, right?"

"..."

Ian was a little confused by Yamanami Keisuke's behavior of unloading his weapons.

"So you're here—"

"To discuss some things."

Yamanami Keisuke said without hiding anything.

"About making people form a group."

"..."

This is obviously a very explosive statement.

[But for some reason, you always feel that Yamanami Keisuke knows something that you don't know.]

No, this is not a feeling.

"Being able to find you at this time means that Yamanami Keisuke has already conducted a thorough investigation."

【Then this time's arrival must not be as simple as imagined. 】

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Ian decided to welcome Yamanami Keisuke in first.

"Xiaoyong, go make a pot of tea quickly."

"No need—" Yamanami Keisuke stopped Ian, "I'll leave after I finish what I've said. There's no need to make tea."

"..."

Ian didn't say anything else, but silently made way.

"Thank you."

Yamanami Keisuke just walked in.

After seeing Souji Okita and Isami Kondo inside, he bowed politely.

"I was about to say this last time... The two ladies are truly amazing. It's truly astonishing that they possess the same martial arts skills as Mr. Hijikata."

After hearing Yamanami Keisuke's embarrassing description, Kondo Isami was the first to refute it.

"No, that's not the case, you..."

But before she could finish her words, Okita Souji grabbed her hand.

"Well...thank you for the compliment."

"But, this shouldn't be your intention today. Time is very important. It would be a shame to waste it for no reason like this."

She did not deny the status of wife given by Yamanami Keisuke, but instead brought the topic back to another matter.

Kondo Isami was still a little at a loss, but Yamanami Keisuke spoke first.

"Since Madam is so forthright, I won't say any more polite words."

"The Ronin Group that was recently formed in Mibu Village has a very close connection with the three of you, right?"

"..."

"That's true." Okita Souji responded to Yamanami Keisuke.

"What does this mean?"
