The Place Nearest to You

Chapter 25

The mission of clearing out the abandoned factory finally came to an end. It took Ando and Okita about an hour to eliminate all the enemies, leaving only the yellow-haired man alive.

Ando originally wanted to see if any of the four people they killed were still alive, but she didn't expect that she and Okita's methods were so clean that they didn't even leave a single breath behind.

After learning that Okita pretended to be injured to deceive her, Ando lost control and yelled at him, "Bastard!", but the latter only smiled and didn't seem embarrassed at all.

Maybe he really liked other people's angry faces.

Ando glanced at him, then angrily walked to the unconscious yellow-haired man and gave him a hard kick.

The latter's scream pierced her ears, but she just said to him indifferently, "If you're not dead, stand up and leave." Anger was one thing, but the mission was another.

Although she was tricked by Okita, she was the one who kidnapped Huang Mao. She could prove herself in front of Hijikata and not question him like she did in the morning.

Okita's Kikuichi sword was already sheathed and inserted into his waist.

He stared at her leisurely with his large, round, clear eyes.

Ando was quite indignant about why he had been deceived by Okita's extremely deceptive face again and again. He had clearly raised his vigilance, but he still carelessly fell into Okita's trap.

So for Ando, instead of blaming Okita for tricking her, it was better to think about why she was so easily deceived.

That's right, she couldn't blame him for falling into his trap. She could only blame herself for being too stupid.

Ando was fuming with anger, but there was nothing she could do.

He stood beside her and leisurely played an unknown tune. He was in a good mood.

Ando forcefully pushed the yellow-haired man who was being escorted by her. Her body was emitting a terrifying black aura.

The yellow-haired man was timid to begin with. After being frightened by her, his tears poured out like water from an open valve.

She couldn't help but scold him, "If you cry again, I'll kill you!"

She didn't think that she was a bad-tempered person. If she could, she would definitely choose to vent her anger by using violence instead of venting her anger on a third party like this.

Because she knew clearly that if she fought, she was no match for Okita.

Otherwise, she would definitely give him a good beating.

She understood Hijikata's feelings more and more, but she didn't sympathize with him. She found that she deserved more sympathy than Hijikata.

Hijikata could at least use his position as the deputy commander to suppress him, but she was the exact opposite.

Okita was her boss, what else could she do?

The idea of applying for a transfer popped up in her mind again. This time, she didn't want to be tricked by Hijikata.

She suspected that Hijikata must have pretended to be pitiful and said that Okita was lonely and didn't have any friends in order to divert the attention from Okita's abuse of him.

She really should have agreed to Okita's suggestion of murdering the deputy commander.

She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Her anger began to attack indiscriminately.

"Ando, I'll give you a day off today."

When they were about to arrive at the camp, Okita took Huang Mao from her and said in a light tone.

Her face was full of question marks. They were clearly on a mission together, so why did he leave her out? Did he want to take all the credit for himself?

Fine, of course he didn't want to take all the credit for himself. But at this critical moment, why didn't he bring her along?

"I see that you're tired. Go rest."

So I'm a toy?

When you want to play with me, you take me out and play with me. When you don't need me, you throw me aside??

Ando's anger skyrocketed. He lost his reason and grabbed his collar.

If she couldn't beat him, then she couldn't beat him. Even if she was beaten to a pulp, it was fine.

"Okita, do I have a grudge against you?

Why are you doing this to me? "

From Senior Okita to Captain Okita to Okita, the way she addressed him changed again and again.

When they first met, she had a good impression of him. After getting along with him, she respected him. Now, she hated him. She didn't understand why her mood changed so quickly. What kind of person was he to be able to challenge the bottom line of others' anger again and again?

"You're thinking too much."

Okita freed his collar from her hands and adjusted the crumpled part by the way.

Facing her anger, he seemed to turn a deaf ear and just walked past her.

Ando looked at his straight back and tightly clenched her hands.

It turned out that he was the same as other men. He always saw her as a weakling. Even if she showed extraordinary skills, he still didn't believe in her strength.

He didn't take her with him when he was discussing the mole with Deputy Captain Hijikata. Now that she helped him catch Huang Mao, he still excluded her.

He took her on missions twice. The first time was to find a scapegoat to copy the rules of the game. The second time was to satisfy his own bad taste.

Therefore, he had never truly believed in his own strength.

A sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously. She thought that she had integrated into the Shinsengumi group, but now she realized that she had never been.

Rest?

How could she rest?

Let sadness and anger surround her?

"Hey, Miss."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, causing her to look back with some confusion. She saw Yin Shi looking at her gently with his signature silver hair, which was naturally curly.

She turned around and stared at him blankly.

She didn't have much interaction with him. They had only met a few times and treated him to a meal.

Why did he suddenly appear in front of her? Was there a conspiracy?

She had to admit that because she had been tricked by Okita several times, her vigilance had increased rapidly.

"Miss, do you have any requests?

Yorozuya can help you with anything. "

Ando smiled bitterly and replied, "I want to take revenge on Sogo Okita. Can you do it too?"

"We can talk about it in detail." Gintoki very gentlemanly made a "please" gesture. His whole body seemed to be glowing.
