In the vast sea of people, it was rare to meet someone you liked wholeheartedly. Whether it was the opposite sex or the same sex, it was easy to have a good impression, but it was not easy to fall in love.

Ando realized from Gintoki that she liked Okita. She decided to let go of all the thoughts of escaping and approached him again without hesitation.

Ando, whether it was swordsmanship or being a person, there was no reason to retreat.

She also thought of beating around the bush to trick Okita, but according to her understanding of Okita, she would be tricked in the end, so it was better to just attack directly.

It turned out that her attack was successful. She did not die under Kikuichi's words, and she was lucky enough to see Okita's shy face.

Not only did she not become a ghost, but she also became a romantic. No matter how she looked at it, it was worth it.

Since she got such a big advantage, she would not be calculative about being tricked by him.

Ando thought happily, opened the door, looked up and squinted at the red sun rising in the sky.

She woke up a little later than before, but in Shinsengumi, it was still very early.

"Ando, why are you still standing here like a fool? Don't you know that something big has happened?" Yongcang stopped in his hasty steps when he passed by Ando's door.

"What happened?"

Ando remembered Gui's words the night before, and her heart sank.

Could it be that after they got rid of the Ronin organization, the trouble would not come to an end?

"Director Kondo was reported."

"How could the director be reported?

Other than being a bit of an exhibitionist and a stalker, he has no other problems. "

"The informant claimed to be a member of the Linyuan-gumi organization that was purged by Shinsengumi. Linyuan-gumi is the organization that assassinated the director last time.

He said that the director colluded with Linyuan-gumi to smuggle drugs and did not divide the spoils evenly, so he massacred the entire Linyuan-gumi.

Edo Television is broadcasting the news, and the higher-ups have already sent people. "

"What?!"

Ando turned pale with fright.

Would this pit ever end?

It took them a lot of effort to get out of one pit, but they quickly jumped into another.

Could it be that the mastermind already knew that Shinsengumi had the ability to take down Linyuan-gumi, so he deliberately set up this trap?

This was too cruel and terrifying!

"Let's go to the hall first. You can be surprised later."

Eikura's eyebrows were almost twisted together. He grabbed Ando's arm and quickened his pace.

Gui was right. This was indeed Shinsengumi's greatest crisis.

If Shinsengumi was only fighting against the Ronin organization, he could still fight back with his own abilities. But this time, he was on the news, and the sensation it caused was immeasurable.

Regardless of whether Kondo was guilty or not, he would definitely be taken away.

But what kind of TV station was this? How could they casually report groundless accusations that slandered the reputation of others?

In order to attract attention, he even forsook his professional ethics?

Thinking of Kondo's position in Shinsengumi's soul, Ando felt a trace of fear in his heart.

If Kondo was gone, would Shinsengumi disband?

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense. Okita's hand was on his beloved Kikuichi character, and Hijikata was pressing his arm.

Across from them stood a middle-aged man with gray hair and sunglasses. He had a cigarette in his mouth.

Ando recognized him. He was the head of the police department, Matsudaira Katanlihu. He usually had a good relationship with Shinsengumi.

But this time, even he might not be able to protect Kondo. Ando looked at the young man with short dark green hair standing next to him.

She had never seen this person before.

"Is everyone in the Truth Group so disrespectful to their elders?

Deputy Chief Hijikata. "The young man looked at Okita and said calmly.

His voice was a bit shrill, unlike a man's deep voice.

Ando only heard the sharp sound of wood being sawed in his ears.

"Sorry, Harada-sama, he didn't get enough sleep today. He's not normally like this." Hijikata calmly stood in front of Okita and looked at Harada without any hesitation.

"Shinsengumi has always been loyal, and the higher-ups didn't believe that Kondo would do such a thing. But the other party was aggressive and had plenty of evidence, so I had no choice but to do my job." Harada glanced at Hijikata and said calmly.

"I believe that Harada-sama will give Director Kondo and Shinsengumi justice." Hijikata grabbed Okita's wrist, and the latter struggled for a moment before relaxing.

He could be willful, but he couldn't be willful.

The entire Shinsengumi's future couldn't be ruined because of his impulsive actions.

"I'll go with you. Fourteen, Sogo, don't worry." Even at this moment, Kondo still had a hearty smile on his face.

"Kondo Dage." Okita called him, his red eyes filled with regret and reluctance. "Be careful."

"Sogo, you have to listen to Fourteen. Don't be impulsive."

Kondo looked at him with a smile, just as pure and dazzling as when he was drawing a little person on the grass that year, and he added a smiling face.

"I have a request."

Hijikata's calm voice sounded in the depressing hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

If something happened to Kondo, then he was Shinsengumi's only soul.

"Say it." Harada ordered people to take Kondo away and said casually.

"Shinsengumi can send people to protect Director Kondo."

"Is it possible that Vice Commander Hijikata doesn't trust the shogunate's ability to protect him?"

Harada looked at Hijikata with displeasure, and then glanced at all the Shinsengumi members in the hall. "Do you want to replace the shogunate's guards with Shinsengumi?"

"Shinsengumi is the shogunate's vanguard, and the shogunate's most important guard."

Hijikata replied, "A few days ago, Director Kondo was assassinated, and the TV station suddenly received the so-called report call. If all of this is a conspiracy to destroy the shogunate's defense, Harada-sama wouldn't want to be punished by the general for a moment of negligence."

"Hijikata is right. For a long time, the general and princess have been praising Shinsengumi.

Harada-sama, don't forget the general's orders. "Matsudaira added.

Harada was angry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only say angrily, "Okita is not allowed to go."

"Saito and Eikura, you two protect the director."

Hijikata naturally didn't plan to let Okita go with them. He was worried that if he wasn't around, Okita would cause a ruckus in the prison and escape with Kondo. If that happened, things would get out of hand.

"As for the rest, I will investigate the truth and prove Director Kondo and Shinsengumi's innocence."

"No need.

The truth will be investigated by others. Shinsengumi, take a month off. "Harada turned around and walked out of the hall without looking back.

Hijikata's expression was still calm, but Shinsengumi was in an uproar.

They didn't think that they would suddenly be given a holiday.

But it was fortunate that they didn't disband.

"Sogo."

After the uninvited guests left, Hijikata turned around and called Okita.

The latter's eyes were calm, without the slightest hint of agitation.

"Deputy, now that the director is not here, I will listen to any orders you give.

Whether it's a holiday or investigating the truth, I will listen to you. "Okita straightened his back and stared at Hijikata.

'In the end, he's grown up.' Hijikata sighed in his heart.

Then, he nodded and let Shinsengumi and the others rest, leaving only Okita and Yamazaki.

"Ando, you also stay."

When Ando hesitantly stepped out of the door, Hijikata added.

"Yes!"

A bright light flashed in Ando's eyes, and he quickly returned to their side.
