The strange noises came earlier than usual. Hijikata hugged the pillow and was on the verge of collapsing.

Recently, the strange noises outside the house scared him. He wanted to squeeze in with Okita next door with the quilt, but when he thought of Okita's mocking face, he held back the urge.

What the f * ck am I scared of?!

Hijikata threw the pillow aside angrily and pulled open the door.

When he was halfway through the door, his hand stopped.

Ando was wearing a hat with a white candle and a white coat. She seemed to be holding some kind of prop in her hand, but she quickly hid it behind her.

She stood stiffly in front of Hijikata's door and didn't dare to move an inch.

"What are you doing?

Didn't I ask you to investigate the strange noises? Did you hear them? "Hijikata asked with a frown.

"I, I …" Ando was about to cry.

During the day, she was still gloating over Okita's scheme against Hijikata, but she didn't know that she was the one being schemed against.

She arrived at the house at eight o 'clock sharp, but Okita was even earlier than her.

He prepared a lot of props, and before she could react, he put them on her and stuffed them into her hands. This was what Hijikata was looking at.

Not only that, he also made her chant a very awkward spell and used a hammer to hit Hijikata's picture on the tree.

She didn't know what this childish behavior was going to do, but between offending Okita and Hijikata, she chose the latter.

Hijikata's revenge method was known, but Okita's revenge was like Pandora's Box. She didn't know what kind of disaster it would bring.

Maybe that was an exaggeration, but that was what Ando felt.

Compared to Okita, the vice captain was more like a paper tiger.

She obediently followed Okita's orders, but when she faced Hijikata, she realized that both Okita and Hijikata were very scary.

"You look very familiar. Are you performing a ritual to curse me?"

Hijikata's green eyes emitted a terrifying light. Ando didn't dare to look at him and looked away.

If she wasn't wearing such a strange hat on her head, she would definitely shake her head even harder than a rattle-drum.

"She's jogging."

Okita Okita, a bystander, came to Ando's side and kindly explained to her.

"Asshole, you guys are cursing me!"

It would have been better if he hadn't opened his mouth, but as soon as he did, Tu Fang flew into a rage.

Obviously, this had happened more than once. If Ando was the only one here, Hijikata would be a little suspicious, but now that he saw Okita, he was completely sure.

He didn't care about his image anymore and chased after Okita with a ferocious expression. Okita seemed to be waiting for him to chase after him, and ran away happily.

Ando secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was fortunate that the deputy commander didn't pay any attention to him. Otherwise, the little guts in his heart would have been scared to death.

Hijikata ran around the tree and couldn't catch Okita, but he tore a picture of himself from the tree.

At that moment, he saw the wooden hammer in Ando's hand. He looked at the wooden nail on the tree and finally gave up chasing after Okita. He walked to Ando with an unfriendly expression.

"Vice captain, I didn't!"

Seeing him walking towards her, Ando was so scared that she shook her head frantically. White candles flew out of her head. Some fell to the ground, some fell into Hijikata's arms, and her own black hair was accidentally set on fire.

She was shocked and quickly put out the sparks in her hair. Fortunately, she didn't suffer too much. Her black hair was saved.

Hijikata was even luckier than her. The candles went out when they hit him. Other than a small hole in his clothes, there was no other damage.

Ando let out a long sigh. She was probably the luckiest person in her life tonight.

"Ando, you're messing around with Sogo!"

Hijikata shouted.

Sure enough, in Shinsengumi, only Okita had special treatment. She was just a little cannon fodder that Okita used to toy with Hijikata's vice captain.

She shrunk her neck and looked as if she was ready to die.

"Don't mess around with Sogo next time."

Perhaps Hijikata felt that he was being too harsh with a girl, so he softened his tone and said, "That kid doesn't know how to control his strength and doesn't know how to differentiate between men and women.

You haven't been treated badly these days, right? "

Was the vice captain comforting her?

She had been with Okita for a long time and rarely saw him treat her like a girl. She thought that Hijikata had the same idea.

She didn't expect the vice captain to be so gentlemanly.

It seemed like the vice captain wouldn't punish her.

"Where's Sogo?"

After a short while, Okita was no longer here, which was unusual in the past.

Hijikata's green eyes suddenly shrank and he rushed to Kondo's residence.

Ando didn't know what was going on and followed him closely.

When the two of them arrived at Kondo's room, they saw that the door was wide open and Okita's Kikuichi characters were stabbing a ronin's heart.

Kondo was slightly injured and was protected by Okita behind him.

There were three people on the ground, but there were still four people.

Who were these people that chose to assassinate Director Kondo at this time?

Ando pulled out his sword and blocked the door.

They dared to sneak into Shinsengumi Kondo's residence because they knew that Shinsengumi was in a state of panic and was scared by ghosts.

With such a small group of people sneaking in, even if the team members heard something, they would only think that it was a ghost and wouldn't suspect anything else.

In other words, the criminals who made the strange sound were the people in front of them, and their goal was to assassinate Kondo.

How to put it, they were a little stupid and naive.

Ando's heart was relaxed. She knew Okita's strength too well. This group of people wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

Plus she and Hijikata, three against four, they had a 100% chance of winning.

Ando thought so, but then she saw a flash of sword light. The white light was clearly rushing towards Kondo, but she didn't see anyone's figure.

The four assassins were still standing in the same place.

No, that wasn't right.

To be able to make the strange sound for several days without being detected, the other party's ability couldn't be so simple.

They must be hiding some amazing trump card.

Ando soon saw the trump card. He was hanging on Okita's Kikuichi characters. Bright red blood flowed down the tip of the Kikuichi characters and fell to the ground. She took a deep breath.

The other party attacked from behind Kondo, right in Okita's blind spot.

She stood at the gate and didn't see the other party's figure clearly. Okita's back was facing him, but he was still able to accurately kill him. He was really too strong!

"Sogo."

Kondo called him softly.

"There are still a few bastards. Kondo Dage, wait a moment."

Okita pulled out his Kiku-ichimonji and rushed to the assassins whose legs were trembling, and killed them in a flash.

His chestnut hair fluttered slightly, and his red eyes were calm.

Ando stared at him blankly, not knowing whether he was an angel or a demon at this moment.

Was Sogo Okita the only person in the world who could do such a terrifying thing with a very admirable posture?

"What a pity."

Kondo sighed as Okita sheathed his sword.

"You are still a good guy, but fortunately, there are still bastards like Hijikata and I in Shinsengumi." Okita said slowly. "Hey, Hijikata, remember to pay me more overtime tonight."

"Don't worry, I will clean up the mess.

Take Kondo Dage somewhere else to rest. "

Although they didn't have the same personality, the two cooperated very well.

Okita's attitude towards Kondo was completely different from his attitude towards Hijikata.

How to put it, maybe in Okita's heart, he was willing to protect Kondo with his life.

Ando finally understood why he stayed in Shinsengumi instead of joining a group like Katsura Kotaro or being a loner.

Probably the reason was the same as hers.
