"Is it really that easy?"

Kondo Isami couldn't help but mutter.

"I have a feeling this will be much more difficult than I imagined—just like how we've put so much effort into this, and now we've caught the general's attention."

"It must be no problem!"

Souji Okita in the middle held the hands of Kondo Isami and Ian on the left and right.

"If the three of us are together, we can definitely do anything!"

"Eh……"

Souji Okita's words quietly touched the soft heart that Kondo Isami had previously hidden.

Then, the girl quickly recalled the moment today when Yamanami Keisuke misunderstood their identities, and she felt more and more guilty.

"Um, Okita..."

"What's wrong, Xiaoyong?"

"Today... I mean today..." Kondo Isami pulled his hand back from Okita Souji's, "Didn't Yamanami Keisuke misunderstand our identities?"

"I... want to say sorry to you here."

"This probably happened because I was too close to Sui San before."

"..."

Souji Okita turned around and looked at Kondo Isami.

"What's there to apologize for?"

"And if you really want to make a fuss, I should be the one to apologize. You didn't do anything, but you were treated as a lady."

"That means I didn't take good care of Sui San before, and you filled that gap, right?"

"No!" Kondo Isami waved his hands.

"That's different!"

"This involves your problems—I can't do this!"

"But I don't mind!"

"Isn't it fun to be called something like that along with Xiaoyong?"

"Or……"

Okita Souji coughed lightly a few times.

"Xiaoyong, you actually don't like being addressed like that with me, right?"

"Nothing!"

Kondo Isami quickly denied this statement.

"How could I possibly think this is bad?"

"That's okay."

"Saisan——"

"coming."

As if he understood what Souji Okita was thinking, Ian immediately stood up and exchanged seats with Souji Okita.

The two girls' hands, which had been "broken", were pulled up by the men on the left and right.

"alright--"

"That's the end of the matter."

"How can we stop here?" Kondo Isami bumped his head against Ian, "This is something very important!"

"Whether it's important or not is not up to you alone to decide."

Ian said in a gentle voice.

"I have no objection, Okita has no objection, and you have no objection."

"Then why bother fussing over something that no one has an opinion on?"

"But……"

"No but-"

"It's late, go to bed!"

Ian said this, and then tightened his grip on Kondo Isami and Okita Souji's hands.

"Let's discuss the wife's problem after this is over."

You spent a not-so-peaceful night.

【but--】

【There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with this.】

Rather than arguing endlessly about trivial matters, it is naturally a better choice to spend the night peacefully like this.

【Time passes little by little in a similar harmony.】

The first ray of sunlight in the morning fell, shining squarely on Ian's eyes.

He woke up and found that only Okita Souji was by his side, and Kondo Isami had disappeared.

only--

Ian soon noticed that Souji Okita was coughing constantly and looked quite uncomfortable.

"Okita, you..."

"Eh?"

"Saisan, you're awake~" Okita Souji turned around and smiled sweetly.

"I'm fine—just a cold, it seems."

"Caught a cold?"

Ian frowned.

"But you've been like this since yesterday—Okita, are you sick?"

"Eh... maybe that's a possibility."

Okita Souji covered his lips.

"But it shouldn't be a big problem."

"..."

"No."

Ian hugged Okita Souji and lifted her up.

"I have to take you to see a doctor."

"Can not be done--!"

Souji Okita grabbed Ian's sleeve.

"Not today!"

"Sui San, don't forget—we are going to meet the General with Master Ba today, right?"

"..."

"This……"

Ian hesitated - he knew, as did Okita Souji, that there were very few opportunities to go and see the Shogun like this.

No.

It should be said that it was only this time.

After all, if you break an appointment, although there may not be any trouble, it will leave a bad impression the next time you want to meet.

"It's fine."

Souji Okita pushed Ian's hand away and slowly fell to the ground.

"It's just a cough or something, it's nothing serious. I've had this problem a lot before, hasn't it? It should be gone in a couple of days!"

"We've been training for a long time, nothing serious will happen!"

"..."

Ian still couldn't respond like this.

And at this moment, the shoji door opened with a swish.

The "disappeared" Kondo Isami is there at this moment.

only--

What is different from before is that now she has changed into a kimono which she would never wear in daily life, and she actually looks quite delicate.

And such a woman is naturally quite rare.

"Okay, does it look good?"

The girl asked a little embarrassedly.

"This is your first time changing clothes like this—I hope you won't embarrass your wife in front of the General, right?"

"Uh... I mean, it won't embarrass you, right?"

"Look—"

Souji Okita straightened the sleeves and collar of Ian's clothes.

"Xiaoyong has worked so hard for this occasion—"

"Cough cough——" the girl coughed a few times.

"Are you willing to just watch her hard work go to waste?"

"..."

Ian was silent, but finally nodded.

"I understand."

【You finally agreed with Okita Souji's opinion.】

【You begin to prepare for the upcoming visit.】

You put on a gorgeous kimono that you rarely wore before.

[And Okita Souji, like Kondo Isami, changed into clothing worthy of the title of "Madam."]

[However, the real purpose of this trip is naturally not to prove the two girls' status in your place.]

[But——]

[We need to find out why Seino Hachiro has such confidence in the Shogun.]

"Hurry up, you guys!"

Kiyono Hachiro urged him like this. At this moment, he no longer looked the same as before, but instead looked very excited.

It seems that as long as he can see the general, any price can be accepted.

"It's been several days."

"He's still like this..."

Kondo Isami, who was walking in front, started to complain.

But she just complained this much.

Because at this moment, the girl is trying hard to adapt to the clothes she has never worn before.

"It's okay, I'll be able to see the general soon."

"Things...will definitely be explained clearly."
