I formed the strongest swordsman group

what?

Qingdeng involuntarily widened his eyes, and cast a look of astonishment at the masked man who was being controlled by him.

Whether it is knowledge or martial arts, he has a very high comprehension ability - Qingdeng clearly heard the system prompt that just sounded in his mind.

Normal people should be able to see how perverted this talent is.

This masked man...has such a god-level talent that not even one out of 10,000 people can possess...

Qingdeng couldn't help but look at the masked man a few more times.

After being restrained by Qingdeng, the masked man seemed still not convinced, twisting his body desperately, trying to break free from Qingdeng's control.

The confrontation between Qingdeng and the masked man has already been concluded, and Zhuo Ding's servants no longer need to follow Qingdeng's instruction just now, and gather around to watch.

They rushed forward and held down the masked man together.

"Don't move! Don't move!"

"Quick! Get the rope out! Bind him!"

...

The servants hurriedly took out the hemp rope specially used for arresting prisoners, and tied the masked man up.

At this time, a servant raised his hand and took off the fox mask on the masked man's face.

The moment the fox mask was separated from the human face, low exclamations suddenly erupted from the surrounding crowd...and the servants who were arresting this person.

Under the mask was an extremely handsome face.

This masked man was actually a handsome man with an outstanding appearance.

Fair skin is full of youthful vitality.

The eyebrows are slender and long.

The bridge of the nose is straight and high.

The mouth and auxiliary lines are beautiful.

The facial features are good-looking-this is not the most prominent appearance feature of this masked man.

The most prominent feature of this person's appearance is the calm and heroic temperament he condenses between his brows.

This temperament directly greatly enhanced his external charm.

The outstanding appearance of the masked man... Qingdeng only felt that in terms of his handsome appearance alone, this man was not inferior to those first-line male stars and first-line male models in the entertainment industry in his previous life.

"Huh?" At this moment, an exclamation came from the crowd, "Mr. Hijikata?"

The owner of this voice is a girl who seems to be under 20 years old.

This young girl has a pretty appearance, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes full of affection, wearing a little plain clothes, with a white antiperspirant towel wrapped around her forehead, she should look like an ordinary daughter of ordinary people.

"Ah Jing?" The masked man raised his eyebrows at the girl, "Why are you here?"

The girl squeezed through the crowd and wanted to get to the masked man, but was stopped in time by Zhuo Ding's servants.

"Mr. Tukata, what happened? Why were you arrested by the government?" The girl looked like she was about to cry.

"It's nothing." The masked man seemed to realize that he couldn't escape, so he gave up struggling and said to the girl calmly, "This is not where you should stay, you should go back first."

"Tufang...?" When the masked man was urging the girl to leave quickly, Qingdeng stared at the masked man in astonishment, while softly repeating what the girl called the masked man just now.

Tufang... This is the same as Qingdeng's "July", it is not a very popular surname.

In Qingdeng's memory, there happened to be a person whose surname was Tufang...

"...Hi. Are you Toshizo Hijikata from the test guard in Koishikawa Kohinatanayanagi?"

"Huh?" The masked man was startled, turned his gaze away, frowned, and looked Qing Deng up and down, "You...know me?"

...

...

About 2 hours later——

Qingdeng led the anxious Kondo and Okita to the prison house in Kodenmacho.

The prison house is the prison of Edo, and all the prisoners in Edo and the surrounding area are imprisoned here.

Arriving at the prison house, after greeting a certain prison house, the same heart led Qingdeng and his party to the depths of the prison house.

In the Edo period, there was a strict hierarchy, and people of different levels sat in different prisons.

Prisoners with "gome see" will be imprisoned in the most advanced prison: "Yangzashiki".

The so-called "Yu Mu Jian" is a person who has the qualifications to directly meet with the general. For example, Jingyi Naosuke, who has died, belongs to the "Royal Eyes".

As the highest-level prison, Yangzashiki is luxuriously furnished, with single rooms and tatami mats on the floor. The air is not humid and smelly, and the food is good.

The samurai below "Yumujian" were locked up in "Yangwu".

Townspeople who live in the city are put into "big prisons".

Farmers were imprisoned in the "people's prison".

The living conditions in the big prison and the common people's prison are very different. Usually, there are more than a dozen...or even 20 or 30 people in the same cell. The air is humid and smelly, and the food is also bad.

Qingdeng had heard bits and pieces of anecdotes about this Hijikata Toshizo who had been known for a long time from Kondo and Okita.

Although Hijikata Toshizo has a surname, he is not a samurai.

As the saying goes: Warriors have the two privileges of "surname" and "saber".

But "surname" is not actually the exclusive privilege of samurai, and very few local wealthy families also have their own surnames-Hijikata Toshizo belongs to this list.

I heard Kondo, Okita and the others say: Hijikata Toshizo was the descendant of a rich farmer in the Tama area in the north of Edo.

Their Tukata family is a local "land snake" level big landlord, so they also have the right to "surname".

Therefore, Hijikata Toshisan, who is a farmer, should be thrown into the worst prison for the common people.

But Qingdeng used some of his Ding Ding Hui Tong Xin's functions to let his brother from the same school live in a single cell with a fairly good environment.

After the prison house Tongxin led everyone to the single cell specially opened by Qingdeng using his functions, Qingdeng and the others saw Earthwork who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, picking the dust between his fingernails in boredom. Three years old.

"Mr. Hijikata!"

Okita took the lead to take a stride forward, raised his hands and grasped the wooden bars of the cell tightly, and put his face close to the gap between the wooden bars, showing a helpless look of hating iron but not steel.

"What are you doing! Why did you just go back to Edo, and you started to make trouble again? You are so good, why are you beating people on the street?"

"Asheng, Chief?" Tufang first looked in surprise at the two close friends who suddenly appeared and were as close to him as brothers. But soon, he put away the surprise in his eyes, curled his lips at Okita, "I want to teach that Kin'emon a lesson, it's that simple."

Qingdeng had already told Kondo and Okita just now what kind of mess Hijikata had made this morning, and at the same time explained to them why Hijikata suddenly beat up Kinemon on the street.

After bringing the "street fight" Toshisan back to the enforcement office, Tufang immediately revealed his motives for committing the crime.

The reason why he would suddenly beat up that Kin'emon on the street was quite simple - to avenge one of his friends.

He has a friend who runs an izakaya, and Kin'emon visited his friend's izakaya one night about 10 days ago.

The hooligan at Kin'emon, after eating and drinking in his store, saw that Hijikata's friend seemed submissive and easy to bully, so he started to think badly.

With the help of wine, Kin'emon refused to pay for meals and drinks.

Hijikata's friend tried to reason with Kin'emon, but was directly injured by Kin'emon.

After injuring someone, Kin'emon threatened him viciously: Don't report to the official! Even if you go to report to the police, I will only stay in prison for a while at most. After I get out of prison, I will definitely seek revenge on you as soon as possible!

Kin'emon was not mistaken either.

This friend of the earth side is indeed a little timid.

Kin'emon's hands are tattooed with many tattoos with different lines-this is proof that this person has committed numerous crimes in the past.

In the Edo period, there was a form of punishment in which the hands and face of the prisoner were tattooed.

Different crimes have different tattoo patterns, so you only need to look at the tattoos on the hands and feet of the person to know what crimes the person has committed before.

Threatened by Kin'emon with so many "criminal certificates" tattooed on his hand, Hijikata's friends really chose to swallow their anger and dare not pursue Kin'emon's crimes of eating a king's meal and injuring him. something happens.

This friend of Turkmenistan was willing to compromise - but Turkmenistan was not.

Hijikata, who had been away from Edo for a long time, came to say hello to his friend this morning, and found the bruises on his friend's face.

After some questioning, I found out what happened.

Hijikata didn't say a word—he rushed out of his friend's izakaya and ran to Kin'emon to settle the score.

Kin'emon is a famous person in Takucho, and Hijikata knew the places where Kin'emon often went by just asking around.

So... there was this scene of "jumping over without saying a word and beating Kin'emon" this morning...

"Azui..." Kondo, who was also helpless like Okita, let out a long sigh, "Why are you so impulsive... Can't you think of ways other than fighting to avenge your friend?"

"I'm not good at anything other than fighting." Hijikata stood up and patted the dust off his buttocks, and said slowly, "And——beating that Kin'emon hard is all I can think of. The best way to get revenge."

"Even if he goes to report to the official, Jin'emon will only be dragged into prison for a few days at most. This kind of punishment is not painful at all for a person like him who makes a living by doing dirty things."

"So after thinking about it, I decided to cover my face and beat that guy up. Only in this way can I give him a deep enough punishment."

"You... well, forget it, now is not the place to talk." Kondo sighed again, and then took out a small purse from his arms.

"Mr. Ju." Kondo smiled wryly and handed the purse in his hand to Qingdeng, "Please arrange to let Ah Sui out quickly."

Qingdeng nodded, and then took the money from Kondo.

Now it has been checked and understood the motive of the Turkmenistan's crime, and it has been confirmed that the Turkmenistan is purely to avenge his friends and has nothing to do with the "masked party".

Although the earth was fighting on the street, the nature was not too bad, and no one was beaten too badly, let alone killed.

In view of the fact that the crime committed by the earth party is relatively minor, as long as he pays a fine and then lets Qingdeng, an "insider in the system" who works in the "city police station", operate a little bit, the earth party can be released today.

Taking the fine paid by Kondo, Qingdeng went to the prison cell Tongxin, briefly explained the situation to him and handed over the fine, the door of the cell where Domoku lived for nearly an hour and a half was finally opened.

After leaving the prison house with Qingdeng and others, Hijikata stretched vigorously: "Asheng, thank you, I will pay you back the fine later."

"Don't thank me. The person you should thank the most is Mr. Ju."

Hearing Kondo's words, Hijikata looked at Aodo who was standing beside him.

"...What a wonderful fate." Tufang pursed his lips, and then let out a long breath, "The person who caught me turned out to be the newcomer you kept mentioning to me in your letters, Asheng..."

When he was captured by Tu Fang, Qingdeng revealed to him his identity as the "new doorman of the test guard hall", so Tu Fang already knew that the person who captured him today was his new junior brother.

Tufang looked at Qingdeng, mixed with various complex emotions such as curiosity and surprise.

"Speaking of... I haven't formally introduced myself to you yet."

Hijikata straightened his clothes, then stood up straight.

"first meet."

He said to Qingdeng seriously.

"I'm the gatekeeper of the Examination Hall: Hijikata Toshisan."

...

...

Qingdeng and Xiye's arrest this morning can be described as perfect.

While Qingdeng was dealing with Hijikata, Nishino smoothly and easily caught Kin'emon who was fleeing in his direction.

Nishino is the holder of the "Catalogue" of Hokushin's Ichidou style. He took the initiative to meet Kin'emon, drew out his ten hands from his waist, and used his ten hands as a sword. He knocked Kin'emon down with just one blow, successfully He was arrested and brought to justice.

How can this kind of hooligan, who usually only bullies men and women and bullies the weak with the strong, have a firm will?

After capturing him and showing him various instruments of torture, he was immediately frightened out of his wits.

After using torture tools to kill Weifeng who killed him and offering the "killing stick", the prison yashiki "fighter" who was in charge of torture immediately handed over the "carrot": as long as you tell everything you know, You may be given an appropriate reduction in sentence.

Frightened and agitated by the prison guards, Kin'emon immediately revealed all the crimes he had committed.

He admitted that he was a member of the "masked party" who had done a lot of evil recently. At the same time, the identities and addresses of his companions were revealed.

In the afternoon, Susui sent a large force to arrest the rest of the "Masked Party".

With the information revealed by Kin'emon, it has become a matter of time to wipe out the "masked party".

Qingdeng, who did not participate in the arrest operation in the afternoon and had no urgent work to deal with since noon, "off work" in the evening on time and returned to the testing hall.

Tonight's test hall was much more lively than usual - because there was an extra Hijikata Toshizo who came to have dinner.

Hijikata Suisan was injured in a fight with others in his hometown before. He spent more than two months recuperating in his hometown before he finally recovered and returned to Edo. The dinner tonight at the Sanwei Hall can be regarded as a welcome feast for Hijikata. A Bi specially bought some more ingredients to make tonight's dinner richer.

As soon as dinner started, Zhou Zhu, who was seated at the head, sighed heavily, and said to Hijikata earnestly:

"Sui San, I've heard about what happened today."

"It's time for you to change your temper, you 'villain boy with thorns'."

"Your biggest problem is that when you encounter trouble, you only want to solve it with fists and kicks."

"Indeed, there are some things that cannot be completely resolved without using fists and kicks."

"But there are also many things that you cannot solve with violence."

...

Zhou Zhu preached to Hijikata in a slightly nagging tone.

"Yes..." Tu Xiangxiang Zhou Zhu lowered his head, and replied in a slightly low tone, "I've been reflecting on it..."

Hijikata said that he was introspecting, and he seemed to be showing guilt—but whether he took Zhou Zhu's words to heart, I'm afraid only he himself could know.

Zhou Zhu still wanted to talk about Tufang again, but Ah Bi who was sitting next to him seemed to be tired of hearing Zhou Zhu's preaching, and said with a frown:

"Okay, what's the matter, let's talk about it after dinner!"

Zhou Zhu shrunk his neck, and then quickly said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk. Let's eat quickly."

Generally speaking, Tufang is a quiet person.

He is not as cheerful as Okita, who can always smile and chat with people for hours without stopping.

But he is not as taciturn as Saito, and he can't give a fart for a long time.

When he sits at the same table with Qingdeng and the others and eats together, he will also actively participate in the chat, and will also take the initiative to find topics and ask people questions.

Just like now—he took the initiative to mention to Qingdeng the fight he had with Qingdeng today.

"Your boxing skills are so good." Tu Xiang said lightly to Qingdeng, who happened to be sitting opposite him, "It's been a long time since I met a master like you when I was competing with others. Your boxing skills are amazing. Where did you learn it?"

"What I use is my family's family-inherited martial arts." Qingdeng used his omnipotent excuse, "Your fists are also very powerful. I was almost defeated by you several times today."

Qingdeng's words were not meant to be polite or flattering, he really felt that the level of unarmed martial arts by the earthworker was very high, and he was indeed almost knocked down by the earthworker several times today.

"I see that the moves you use seem to be out of the ordinary." Qingdeng asked, "Are all these moves you figured out by yourself?"

Hijikata nodded: "My moves are all explored and penetrated when I was fighting with people. Although they are all wild ways, I think these moves are quite easy to use."

"Speaking of this, I have a question that I wanted to ask you when I was put down by you this morning."

After all, Tufang put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand.

"The way you overpowered me—the way you grabbed my right arm and twisted my arm behind me."

Hijikata waved his hands, trying to restore the scene when he was subdued by Qingdeng today.

"How did you twist my right arm behind me? I didn't even have time to react. You twisted my arm behind me. How did you do it?"

This handsome and handsome man was like a schoolboy thirsting for knowledge, blinking his curious eyes at Qing Deng.

"Ah, this..." Qingdeng put down the miso soup he was drinking just now, "I actually used a little trick on this..."

Qingdeng explained to the earthwork as concisely as possible.

Tufang listened carefully, and his entire upper body leaned slightly forward towards Qingdeng's seat.

Zhou Zhu, Kondo, Okita, and Saito, who are also members of martial arts, are also listening curiously.

"So that's how it is..." After listening to Qingdeng's explanation carefully, Hijikata nodded lightly, "Have you borrowed the shortcomings of inertia and human body structure..."

After mumbling, Tufang put on a serious face, and said to Qingdeng seriously, "Juice, after dinner, can you discuss with me and use your trick on me again?"

"Huh?" Qingdeng raised his eyebrows, then nodded without thinking, "Of course."

After happily deciding to have a good discussion after dinner, Hijikata smiled happily.

Afterwards, Qingdeng chatted with Tufang for a while.

As of today, Qingdeng's impression of Hijikata is that he is very strong in swordsmanship and is one of the top masters in the test hall; he is as close as brothers to Kondo and Okita; The notoriety of "children"...

Now, through chatting with Tufang, Qingdeng knows more about Tufang.

Hijikata's home in Edo is next door to the test guard hall.

Starting from the test health hall, walk for 1 or 2 minutes, and you will be able to arrive at the home of Hijikata.

It is reported that he rented a room very close to the guard test hall for the convenience of going to the test guard hall to practice swords.

Because of the good relationship with Kondo and the others, Hijikata often stays and eats with Kondo and the others. Sometimes, when he is tired from practicing swordsmanship or late, he will directly stay in the test guard hall, so Hijikata Toshisan is also considered a test guard half of the hotel's residents.

After talking about Hijikata's residence, the topic suddenly turned to Hijikata's name for Kondo for some reason.

Hijikata referred to Kondo as "Asheng" - this title comes from Kondo's childhood name.

Kondo's childhood name was Katsugoro, so the soil conveniently gave Kondo the nickname "Asheng".

...

Qingdeng just casually chatted with his senior brother whom he just met today.

Tonight's dinner ended in a fairly harmonious atmosphere.

Abi and Jiubingwei moved the leftover dishes and dining table into the kitchen.

As soon as Zhou Zhu was full, he burped and walked to the toilet.

Sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, Tukata patted his now full stomach lightly, then grinned at Qingdeng:

"Tachibana, do you want to go to the dojo to compete now? Or do you want to take a rest?"

"Let's rest for a while." Qingdeng said with a smile, "I'm very full right now."

Tufang nodded: "Then rest for a while..."

"That, that—is Hijikata-san there?!"

At this time, a young woman's shout suddenly came from the entrance of the test hall.

The moment the female voice fell, the expressions of Kondo and Okita who were still in the hall suddenly became strange.

Tufang looked as usual.

Only Qingdeng and Saito didn't know why.

"Huh?" Qingdeng cast a puzzled look in the direction of the entrance, "Mr. Tufang, it seems that someone is looking for you."

Hijikata Suisan nodded expressionlessly: "I heard it."

After finishing speaking, Hijikata stood up, folded his hands into Haori's sleeves, and walked out of the hall without haste.

"Ah..." Okita looked at the back of Hijikata leaving, "Those people really came..."

"Those people?" Qing Deng's face became more suspicious, "Who is here?"

With a rather strange expression, Okita smiled wryly at Qingdeng: "Well... I can't explain clearly in a few words... You just follow me and have a look."

Okita waved to Qingdeng.

Qingdeng noticed that Kondo and Okita's expressions were quite strange now, and couldn't help but feel more curious about the "those people" that Okita just said, so he only thought for a moment, then nodded to Okita.

After Qingdeng got up and followed Okita to the entrance, Saito also stood up silently and followed behind them.

Okita led Qingdeng and Saito to a small window on the side of the entrance.

Putting his face close to the small window, he looked out of the house, and just outside the entrance, Hijikata was standing face to face with a young girl.

Qingdeng recognized this girl—it was the girl who recognized Tufang this morning when he was arresting him and taking off his mask.

The girl, who looked like the daughter of an ordinary townsman, clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, and showed Hijikata a worried expression on the verge of tears.

"Ah, Hijikata-san, that's great. I came to see you as soon as I heard you came out of the cell."

"I just went to your home, and when I found that there was no one in your home, I immediately came here to look for you in the Weiwei Museum, and I finally found you!"

"How did you get arrested by the people of the execution center today? Are you okay? Are you injured? Did you suffer any abuse in the prison house?"

The girl looked nervously at every inch of Hijikata's body.

"Ah Jing, don't worry, I'm fine."

In the gentle voice that Qingdeng heard from him for the first time, Hijikata spoke softly to the girl he called Ah Jing.

"Why was I arrested by the people of the enforcement office today... It's a long story. Now is not a good time or a good place to talk. I will explain it to you slowly when I have a chance later."

Speaking of this, Tufang paused.

Immediately afterwards... the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a charming smile full of tenderness.

"Ah Jing, did you come to see me specially?"

Tufang raised his hand and caressed Ah Jing's delicate cheek.

"Thank you. I'm so touched that you came to visit me as soon as I got out of the cell."

"Mr. Hijikata..." Ah Jing's body immediately trembled a few times after Tukata's big hand stroked her cheek, and then her moist peach blossom eyes instantly rippled, and she looked softly at Tukata's charming smiling face.

"Ah, that's right. Since you're here, let me just give you this little gift."

Tu Fang put his hand into his bosom and grabbed out a peach blossom.

"I came across this peach blossom on the side of the road when I was returning to Edo from Tama."

"This peach blossom left a deep impression on me at the time."

"Among the whole peach blossom tree, it is the only one that blooms the most and the most colorful."

"Such a peach blossom reminds me of you."

"You are just like this peach blossom, charming and lovable."

After saying these affectionate words, Tufang pinned the peach blossom in his hand to Ah Jing's ear.

"Well, this peach blossom really suits you very well."

"Mr. Tufang...!" Ah Jing's eyes sparkled even more fiercely. As if she couldn't help herself, she threw herself into Tufang's arms, tightly wrapping her two small hands around Tufang's waist.

Tufang also took advantage of the situation and hugged Ah Jing.

A man and a woman hug each other tightly, you and me...

Inexplicably, Qingdeng, who was stuffed with dog food, asked Okita next to him: "So that girl is Hijikata-kun's girlfriend... the partner?"

"... To be more precise, one of Mr. Hijikata's partners." Okita twitched the corner of his mouth.

"One...?" Qingdeng keenly captured the word that made him have to pay attention...

After Tufang and Ajing chatted with each other for a while, they let go of each other.

After saying some love words to A Jing that Qingdeng thought were slightly nasty, Tufang waved goodbye to A Jing on the grounds that "it's getting late, you should go home as soon as possible, and I will look for you later".

Ah Jing, who still had the peach blossom that Tufang had just given her in her ear, waved goodbye to Tufang vigorously, while quickly disappearing into the night.

After watching Ah Jing's departure, Tufang was about to turn around and go back to the house.

But at this moment... A young female voice sounded from the direction opposite to the direction A Jing left just now:

"Mr. Hijikata...?!"

Tufang, and Qingdeng and others who were lying on the side of the entrance by the small window to check the situation, followed the sound and turned their eyes in one order—the owner of this new female voice is also a very young and beautiful girl.

But her clothes are slightly different from Ah Jing just now.

She was wearing exquisite clothes that looked expensive, and behind her was a middle-aged samurai who looked like a bodyguard.

There is a bodyguard, and she is dressed like this... She should be the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

Tufang stared at the new girl, startled, and then said "surprised":

"Axiang? Why are you here?"

Ah Xiang rushed to Tufang in three steps and two steps at a time.

"Mr. Hijikata, I'm here to find you!"

"Why are you standing outside the door?"

"Ah... oh, I just had a full meal, so I just stood outside the house to blow some air." Hijikata lied without blinking his eyelids... "You said——you came to find me?"

"Mr. Hijikata! I heard that you were taken away by people from the execution center today!"

After the topic was brought up by the Tufang, Ah Xiang didn't bother to find out why the Tufang stood outside the door, and only listened to her eagerly.

"What happened? How did you get arrested by the people in the execution center? Are you okay? Are you injured? Did you suffer any abuse in the prison?"

"Hahaha." Tufang smiled freely, "So you came here for this matter."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I was indeed arrested by people from the enforcement office this morning. I will explain the specific reason to you later. Now is not a good time or a good place to talk."

After speaking some words of comfort and love to Axiang, Tufang put his hand into his bosom, and took out a... peach blossom...

"Ah, that's right. Since you're here, let me just give you this little gift."

"I came across this peach blossom on the side of the road when I was returning to Edo from Tama."

"This peach blossom left a deep impression on me at the time."

"Among the whole peach blossom tree, it is the only one that blooms the most and the most colorful."

"Such a peach blossom reminds me of you."

"You are just like this peach blossom, charming and lovable."

After finishing the lines that seemed familiar, Tufang pinned the peach blossom in his hand to Ah Xiang's ear...

"Mr. Hijikata...!"

Then a similar scene appeared... Ah Xiang was moved and threw herself into the arms of Tufang, and then Tufang hugged her back...

Ah Xiang's bodyguard turned around knowingly...

After chatting with Axiang for a while, Tufang said to her, "It's getting late, hurry up and go home, I'll go find you later", and bid farewell to Axiang.

Looking at Axiang who left, Qingdeng's mouth...had changed into the shape of "O".

He hadn't had time to express his astonishment at the scene he had just witnessed——

"Mr. Hijikata...?!"

Another female voice sounded...

The woman who appeared this time was wearing a kendo uniform with a samurai pinned to her waist—she looked like a daughter of a samurai family.

"Huh? Aya?" Hijikata once again showed a "surprised" expression.

After this Aya suddenly appeared, the scene that Qingdeng had seen twice appeared again...

Aya said to Tufang: I heard that you were arrested and imprisoned. I came here to see you.

Then the earth said that I was fine, and I will explain to you in detail what happened later.

And then... Tufang put his hand into his bosom again.

"Ah, that's right. Since you're here, let me just give you this little gift."

"I came across this peach blossom on the side of the road when I was returning to Edo from Tama."

"This peach blossom left a deep impression on me at the time."

"Among the whole peach blossom tree, it is the only one that blooms the most and the most colorful."

"Such a peach blossom reminds me of you."

"You are just like this peach blossom, charming and lovable."

After all, for the third time, Tufang pinned the "most beautiful peach blossom" in his mouth on the girl's ear...
