The Place Nearest to You
Chapter 8
The rat headed man was worthy of his race, he was as brave as a rat. Before Okita could scare him, he had already told him everything he knew.
He brought Okita and Ando to his superior's residence and begged for mercy, "Can you let me go?"
"Scram."
Okita let go of his hand and opened the door to see a young woman sitting at the table, tasting wine.
The woman was wearing a long green dress, her makeup was flirtatious and her eyes were filled with love.
She opened her red lips and said softly, "If my subordinates told me that the gentleman who caused trouble was so handsome, I would definitely dress up."
Okita blinked and smiled innocently. His tone was also very serious, "Miss is really a fairy that descended to the mortal world."
Even Ando was almost fooled by his sincere face, not to mention the woman sitting opposite him.
The woman swirled the wine glass in her hand, "Mister, can you stay here with me?
I'm alone here and it's very lonely. "She slightly frowned and pouted.
"To let such a beautiful miss admire herself, he really doesn't know how to be romantic."
Okita sat down at the table and picked up the wine on the table. He filled the woman's wine glass and said in an even more innocent and cute voice, "How about I accompany miss for a few drinks?"
The woman happily said, "Okay." Then she watched without blinking as Okita drank the wine in one gulp.
Then she collapsed on the table.
"… …" Ando had witnessed the entire process, but she didn't expect things to develop to this point.
This woman tried to use her beauty to seduce senior Okita and failed, but how did she fall for senior Okita's trap?
Could it be that her brain short-circuited when facing someone she thought was good looking?
She stole a glance at Okita Soki and was impressed by his deceptive, innocent, and handsome face and his superb acting skills.
"It's a pity to waste such a good item to deal with Hijikata." Okita muttered with some regret.
However, Ando, who was distracted, didn't hear what he said. If she did, she wouldn't be so naive to think that Okita was a shy and introverted person who was easier to get along with than Hijikata.
"What are you waiting for?" Okita nudged Ando. "Let's see if there are any clues."
"Clue?" Ando was confused. "What clue?"
"The boss behind this casino."
Okita explained as he rummaged through the cabinets. "After so many days in Edo, you must have noticed that instead of saying that we have reached a temporary peace agreement with the Celestials, it is more accurate to say that we have become a colony of the Celestials. In the shogunate, many Celestials have become high-ranking officials. They use their authority to carry out all kinds of illegal activities.
This casino was opened by the Celestials for money laundering and smuggling purposes.
On the surface, it's a casino, but it's doing shady things in the dark. "
Ando frowned. "But what's the use of finding the boss behind this?
With Shinsengumi's power, he can't do anything about it, right? "
"Not only can't we do anything about it, but if we touch him, we will also be implicated." Okita's mouth twitched. "Shinsengumi is the shogunate's lackey."
"Okita senpai …" Ando looked at Okita's dim red eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
So she changed the topic. "Leaving the vice captain at the transvestite shop was also intentional, because the vice captain would stop you from doing anything, right?
After all, it's not worth it for us to ruin the entire Shinsengumi just because of a moment of recklessness. "
"But," Ando said again just as Okita was about to speak, "I won't tolerate letting criminals go."
Okita smiled faintly and rubbed her head.
"Senpai, I found it!" Ando took out a photo from the box. It was an ugly frog head.
"So it's him." Okita looked at the photo and snorted. "Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road."
Ando tilted her head and asked, "Senpai, do you know him?"
"Yes."
Okita's mind was already thinking about the frog roasting in the courtyard that day. Even the idiot Hijikata joined him willfully.
"So what do you plan to do?" Ando asked again.
"No matter what we do now, we have to solve the obstacle in front of us." Okita pulled out the Kikuichi text and said to the door. "It's all your fault for asking so many questions. We're surrounded."
Sure enough, as soon as Okita finished speaking, the door was kicked open. A group of celestials rushed in with sharp swords. There were a lot of them.
The abolition of the sword order was really unfair to the people on Earth. Fortunately, as part of the police, they could still have their own weapons.
Many of the seniors of Shinsengumi said that the reason they established Shinsengumi and came to Edo from the rural dojo was so that they could always hold onto the weapon that had been with them for a long time.
Ando looked at Okita. His eyes were no longer calm and friendly as usual, but bloodthirsty and excited.
She remembered that this young man, who was only two years older than her, was already too familiar with this kind of scene. The cruel life forced him to grow up quickly.
"Don't hesitate, you'll die if you hesitate," Okita said softly.
The Kikuichi text glowed coldly under the light. Maybe it was his murderous aura or something else, but Okita was as scary as a ghost at this time.
Did they just rush in???
Did they invade and attack?

"Mhmm."
Ando nodded. Even though he was facing a sea of enemies, he felt safe with Okita by his side.
It wasn't just because he was strong enough to make people feel at ease, but also because he was like a beacon, giving them direction when they didn't know how to move forward.
"Put down your weapons and surrender."

The influence of this casino was greater than Okita had imagined, and the mobilization of power was also faster than he had imagined.
He was not afraid of them. Not to mention a hundred, he would kill as many as they came.
He was an executioner and had long since become numb to massacres.
However, the woman beside him had never killed anyone before.
Strangely enough, he was actually worried about her feelings.
He thought that the only woman he cared about in this world was his sister.
Recalling Sister San Ye's warm smile, his heart suddenly softened.
Originally, he just wanted to be a younger brother that his sister was proud of. But after coming to Edo, he had to face all kinds of darkness and helplessness. His hands were already stained with blood.
He followed Kondo and Hijikata forward. Perhaps he had already deviated from his original intention, but he walked this path very firmly.
"Do you think we're scared?
Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. If you have any conscience, don't help the evil. "Ando didn't notice the change in Okita's expression. Instead, he looked straight at the group of people.
