The Place Nearest to You

Chapter 10

Under Okita's insistence, Ando was transferred from the second division to A long queue and became Okita's follower.

She was very excited and extremely willing to do so.

Because following Okita meant that she could improve her swordsmanship and make herself stronger.

Things didn't go as she wished. After patrolling with Okita, she found that it was better to follow Eikura.

Okita always used all kinds of reasons to be lazy.

Okita Osamu and Kagura started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement.

Okita always walked and found a place to sleep.

The scariest thing was that Okita would give her a collar and let her wear it while saying "woof".

Distance tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart.

She tried to find Eikura and hinted that she wanted to be transferred back to the second division, but Eikura pretended not to understand. So she acted cute to Eikura: "Senpai, I miss you so much. Let me come back."

She could clearly feel the pain and fear in Eikura's eyes. "You should stay in A long queue."

She hesitated for a moment and decided to take the risk of being yelled at to find Hijikata.

"Why?" Hijikata looked up from a pile of documents and asked her.

"Okita -senpai …" Ando thought about how to give a suitable reason.

"I feel that Okita -senpai doesn't need me." She couldn't even convince herself with this reason. She was clearly the one who wanted to go over to Okita.

Hijikata put down his pen and said seriously: "Sogo has always been a heartless boy. He doesn't have any friends of the same age as him in Shinsengumi.

Kondo -san and I have to take some responsibility for this bad character of his. "The more he said, the more helpless he sounded.

"He has always been a little lonely."

Ando remembered that Okita didn't have any friends around him. As long as he appeared, others would avoid him.

She inexplicably felt pity for him. She had to admit that she was overflowing with sympathy.

She bit her lip and replied to Hijikata, "Mr. Hijikata, I will accompany Senior Okita and cheer him up."

"You're not applying for a transfer?" Hijikata asked.

Ando shook her head. "I'll stay in A long queue." She weighed the pros and cons in her heart. In order to help Okita become more sociable, she decided to endure the humiliation for now.

As a result, she missed the smile that flashed across Tu Fang's face. It was the smile of relief.

Of course, she didn't know what Hijikata was thinking: Great, Sogo has changed his target.

"Ando, do your best." Hijikata patted her shoulder and said solemnly.

Ando nodded and walked out of Hijikata's study.

Then she saw Okita Sogou, who was looking at her casually in the yard.

"Senior Okita." Ando felt a bit guilty.

She was actually afraid that Okita would know that she didn't want to stay in A long queue. It wouldn't be good if she hurt his feelings.

"I bought a cake at the Cake House."

Okita picked up the bag in his hand and handed it to her. "Help me give it to Mr. Hijikata. Don't tell him that I gave it to you."

"Okay."

Ando didn't have the energy to think about Okita's intentions. She just wanted to stay away from him and not let him find out that she was guilty.

She walked over and took the cake box in his hand. She didn't see that Okita's innocent face was glowing with a devilish light.

She pushed Mr. Hijikata's door open again and handed the cake box to him. She wanted to make up a suitable excuse to give him the cake, but the latter seemed to have smelled something delicious with his sensitive nose. He quickly opened the cake box and saw the disgusting layer of mayonnaise on the cake. He didn't care that Ando was standing beside him and took a big bite.

"Ah!"

The cry that resounded through the sky startled Ando. She was lucky enough to see their dear vice captain's cheeks flushed red, eyes filled with tears, jumping up and down, stretching out her neck and calling for "water" in a comical manner.

"Deputy … Deputy Captain." Ando didn't know what to do.

"Give him water."

She saw Okita holding a cup and handed it to Hijikata.

However, Hijikata didn't feel better after drinking it. Instead, he threw the cup to the ground without caring about his image.

His expression became even more terrifying. A line of clear tears flowed out of his eyes, and he couldn't even speak.

Ando then realized that the liquid in the cup was green, and the pungent smell was obviously mustard.

"I'm sorry, Deputy Captain …" Ando apologized.

"Ando, how could you murder the Deputy Captain?" Okita pretended to be surprised.

Yamazaki, who heard the commotion, happened to see this scene.

"It wasn't me." Ando looked at Yamazaki and was about to cry.

Yamazaki walked away silently, pretending that he didn't see it.

What a joke. Offending Okita was not going to end well. Now that the Deputy Captain was in such a state, he would definitely vent his anger on him.

Ando-chan, take care. My heart is with you.

"Okita, you bastard." Hijikata raised his sword and slashed at Okita. He just felt a little better, and now he was thinking about revenge.

He was too careless to let down his guard when he saw the mayonnaise. However, putting chili sauce in the mayonnaise was unforgivable.

Such a beautiful and cute mayonnaise was ruined. Okita couldn't make up for his mistake even if he cut his stomach a hundred times.

Okita only tilted his body slightly, and didn't even move his feet.

He looked at Hijikata with a pair of innocent eyes, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Hijikata didn't give up on attacking. Instead, his moves became fiercer and fiercer. Okita dodged left and right, and didn't block. In fact, his Kikuichi character was still hanging on his waist.

Ando was in a mess. Who was the person who said that Sogo Okita was lonely?!

Who was the person who was worried about Okita's mental health?!

Why were you two so irreconcilable?!
