The Place Nearest to You

Chapter 3

Eikura Shinjuku was a very kind boss and a very good senior.

Now he took Ando to patrol the streets and taught her some things to pay attention to.

Their second division was mainly responsible for dealing with small disputes between the people. Compared to the other divisions, it was a relatively safe job. Ando remembered everything in detail.

She came to Edo from a small place in the countryside. There was no one else in her family except for her.

She guarded a huge house all by herself for five years. When she was sixteen, she finally left home and came to Edo without any reason.

Anyway, she had no more worries at home.

She had never seen a Celestial Being, but when she was very young, she heard stories of the Celestial Being invasion from her neighbors.

Her father and brother also left home to participate in the war against the barbarians at that time, but they never came back.

She stopped and looked at the Celestial Being swaggering on the street. She clenched her fists tightly.

"Since the defeat in that war, Edo has fallen."

Eikura's tone was a little unwilling and helpless. "After a long time, you will slowly get used to it.

Let's go. "

Ando followed Eikura forward, but her eyes did not leave the Celestial Being. She wanted to rush over and beat them up, but it was only a thought.

The shogunate was corrupt and incompetent. They could not save their own people. They sacrificed a lot in the war against the barbarians, but they still lost and fell.

How could a mantis stop a chariot?

How could an ant push down an elephant?

Ando pursed her lips and finally relaxed her fists. She looked at Eikura.

"Ando, we received a complaint from an old lady," Yong Cang took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read it aloud, "The old lady said that there is a cat outside her house that calls every day, causing her to be unable to sleep."

Eikura stuffed the letter back into his pocket. "Let's go catch it. If it is a stray cat, you can keep it.

Don't all girls like this kind of small animal?

Just like the girl with the head of a ball in front. "

"That girl isn't leading a small animal, is she?"

Ando stared at the huge creature beside the woman in the red cheongsam. Although the white dog's eyes were especially cute, it was definitely dangerous!

"Ding Chun, go bite that tax thief Arroux." At this moment, Kagura said in a very cute voice.

She had a stick of vinegar in her mouth, and her face was even cuter than her voice.

Ando silently took a step back. Ding Chun rushed forward and bit Eikura's head.

Ando was sweating profusely. Her sixth sense was right.

But how could such a cute girl have such a scary pet!

"Since when did girls join the tax thieves?"

Kagura walked up to Ando and looked at her suspiciously. "Are you here to work as cheap labor, Arroux?"

"Hello."

Ando greeted her awkwardly. From the girl's tone, it seemed that she had a grudge with Shinsengumi. But why would Shinsengumi have a grudge with such a cute girl?

"Little brat, you are everywhere."

A flat and lazy voice sounded from behind Ando. She was very familiar with such a nice and special voice.

"Captain Okita." She turned her head and greeted him.

Okita nodded and walked between her and Kagura. "Little brat, let's fight."

"Let's fight then, you bastard masochist."

Kagura's beautiful face suddenly became ferocious. She raised her leg and kicked at Okita without hesitation.

Ando saw this move clearly. There was no technique, but it was aimed at the vital points and was very powerful.

Where did this scary girl come from? How could she be so strong? She was even younger than her.

How would she block her attack if she was in her position?

Should she dodge or face it directly?

Ando was still thinking about how to attack. On the other side, Okita and Kagura had already destroyed a ten-meter radius of the street. Ando stood in the middle of the battlefield and watched them fight.

So powerful, so powerful. Her eyes were shining.

Edo was indeed different from the countryside where she lived. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons. A young boy could be the captain of Shinsengumi, and a petite girl could be so strong.

Just as she was feeling very excited, a green stone slab flew through the air and enlarged in her eyes.

Kagura stopped her attack and shouted, "Be careful!" She only had time to remind her, but she couldn't save her.

Okita, who was beside her, looked at Ando calmly and didn't help her.

Ando noticed the green stone slab, but she didn't dodge it. She was worried that if she dodged the green stone slab, it might hit the people behind her. Then, as a member of Shinsengumi, she would be a sinner.

Therefore, she stretched out her right hand, turned around, and gently grabbed the top of the green stone slab. Most of the impact was removed, and the restless green stone slab fell into her hand.

Kagura glanced at Okita and hurried to Ando's side. She said excitedly, "Are you okay, Arroux?"

"I'm fine." Why was she so excited? Ando was speechless.

"Brat, it's all your fault." After making sure that she was unharmed, Kagura shouted at Okita in dissatisfaction.

"Tsk." Okita walked away from the two of them and yawned.

Ando looked at Okita's back thoughtfully.

"This brat, I'm so annoyed just looking at him."

Kagura complained, but when she looked at Ando, she put on a cute smile. "I'm Kagura Arroux."

"I'm Yumi, Ando Yumi." Ando smiled.

She liked Kagura. She was cute and strong.

Most importantly, she was a girl.

Friendship between girls always came very quickly.

"Play with me." Kagura held her hand. "I have a lot of secret bases."

"Okay."

Ando didn't have many friends, and it just so happened that Kagura didn't have many friends either. The two innocent girls played a little girl's game together, but Yong Cang had to clean up the mess and constantly apologize to everyone.

Okita, how many times had it been this month?
