"Although Haori is a men's kimono, it is very suitable for you to wear Nanami." Yuuka brought a cyan feather weave that she hadn't worn for a long time.

Lying in bed for two months, Qishi did not die, should it be said that it was a fate or a miracle, she lived until September, and then finally her complexion improved.

After feeling that he could barely move, Nanami returned to the Ronin team...... Now that the work of the Shinsengumi is gone, she is forbidden to do all the work that requires the use of knives and guns, so no matter how much Nanami wants to dig into the ground to find Kenshin, there is no way.

Fortunately, after August 18th, the Shinsengumi did gain much more trust than in the past, and sooner or later the Shinsengumi would take over the work related to the sudden appearance of the sword-puller.

Draw the sword...... Nanami really hates such titles. Kenshin didn't mean to stop after that day, and he killed a lot of people in the past two months. Others were afraid to give Kenshin such a fierce name, an inappropriate name.

"The mold of this dress was made by Serizawa duck." It is said that the Shinsengumi uniforms were made by Serizawa Duck with a gun and threatening local wealthy people with their money.

"Well, Nanami, you're a good fit for this color."

"Huh...... Yes, is there any? ”

"Like blue, cyan, these are very suitable for you, but some bright colors will be awkward to wear on Qishi."

"Blue, cyan..."

I remember that the clothes that Master Bigu bought for himself in the past were also in that shade, maybe I really fit it. Qishi hardly thinks about dressing up on weekdays, which is the so-called blind spot.

"So, I'm off." After changing clothes, take Asakiri and say goodbye to Kaga Kiyomitsu Nanami and Yuuka.

"I'm going to continue to trouble you today."

"Peace of mind."

Yuuka looked at Nanami, and she felt that she seemed to be a little taller than the girl she was six months ago. Yuuka realized that she was still at an age when she was still growing her body, and she would be more slim in the future.

Looking at Qishi is like looking at her beloved sister, a sister who makes her feel distressed. Yuuka remembered Qishi's confession to her that day, but being a woman made her unable to guess the true meaning of that sentence.

Like me......

Today will be as busy as usual, so busy that Yuuka doesn't have time to think about the true meaning of the so-called liking.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Director-General, I've been waiting for a long time." After Qishi went out, she saw the general manager waiting for her, and after the last brief conversation, she didn't hide from Qishi anymore, and everything returned to the same.

Okita General Division's work has been very busy recently, after all, the Shinsengumi has just become colorful, and there are many things he has to deal with as the deputy chief's deputy, but he still took this day out of his busy schedule, because he can't let go of Qishi in his heart, and the General Division wants to see if she really has nothing wrong today, and Qishi can't resign, so he can only be left to the General Division, anyway, it's not that he can't face it calmly now.

Yuuka tells Nanami that the head secretary likes her, but Nanaka thinks it's definitely just Yuuka thinking too much.

She and the Director-General are friends who support each other.

"Well, let's go."

"Are you looking for new people near Kyoto today?" Qishi is currently doing clerical work such as screening newcomers, and the other affairs team will distribute an appropriate amount after taking into account her physical recovery.

It would be great if all the tasks related to drawing the sword could fall into her hands, and now she will stay in the Shinsengumi just to be able to capture Kenshin back with her own hands.

Next time, be sure to ask......

Nanami clenched his fists. Next time, even if you break his leg first, you can't let him go, and if anyone else gets in the way, you will kill them all.

"Recently, there have been a lot of people who want to join the Shinsengumi, but the level is uneven." The recent recruitment of new recruits is also a tiring job, and the general director has a headache when he thinks about it.

New funders have not yet been found, and although the support of the Imperial Court and the Aizu Domain is much better than in the past, they have to do more than feed this group, muskets and artillery, and train people who can use modern weapons proficiently...... It all costs money.

The current war is not a man with a sword, relying on superb martial arts. Compared to those people in the Changzhou Domain, the Shinsengumi are still very weak.

"Elite?" Qishi said, "What is needed is the elite?" ”

"Only the best people can join and make a qualitative breakthrough. Moreover, the money is still tightly spent. ”

"Director-General, take it easy, I'll help you." The verbal comfort is weak.

"I can barely use muskets, but I should have no problem training my players or something."

"Do you see that?" The Director-General was a little surprised.

"The troubles of the head office are all written on his face, and the words 'the era of cold weapons should be over' are clearly written." Nanami lifted her sleeve and held her right hand weakly, and the gap in her false grip was just enough to hold the handle of Kaga Kiyomitsu's knife, and she said to the director-in-chief: "I won't make a mistake next time, even if it's a cannon, I'll show you." ”

"......" chops off the shell.

"It's too early for the age of the sword to pass, much earlier." The girl is full of confidence.

"It's thousands of years old...... Ha. The general secretary couldn't help laughing, he really believed Qishi's words.

"I'm very strict, so all the people who want to sign up today are not qualified if they can't go under me for a round."

"Seriously?"

"Even the body that has been stiff for two months can't be beaten, so it's better to go back to the countryside as soon as possible."

The Director-General smiled playfully, "Well, they're really out of luck." ”

"It's like rehabilitation." Qishi said that he had already walked to the front of the general director.

"You seem to be a lot more cheerful, is that any good?"

"Well, I've had a great time these past few months."

"That's good." Don't ask too much, just be happy.

That day was a nightmare for all those who came to participate in the selection of the Shinsengumi, no matter what sect or faction, whether they were strong or weak, whether they were samurai born in the orthodox school or the ronin of Nojiko, all of them were defeated by the first sword of Nanami.

The rusty body is still extremely strong, turning the contempt of others into fear.

"There's no one, so let's go back."

It's just after noon, and eighty percent of the personnel have been eliminated, and the remaining two percent don't dare to challenge the seven realities.

It seems that Qishi has recovered well, although it is not as terrible as it was in its heyday, but it is beyond the expectations of the General Department to recover to such a point.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Nanami was ready to insert Kiyomitsu Kaga back into the scabbard, the last challenger appeared.

"Female?"

"No......"

"Another one, this ......"

A kimono girl with a paper umbrella walked in front of Nanami, and along with it, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd.

"Are you going to take the test too?"

"Well, I, the ......" put the paper umbrella aside, and the girl did hold a good knife

"I'll try."

It's a very good-looking girl, not beautiful but very delicate, black waist-length hair is not tied into a bun and is naturally put like that, no makeup, I can't see what a rich lady is, but Qishi always thinks that this girl's temperament is very strange.

Very, very weird temperament.

She firmly believed that she had never met her before, but there was always a sense of familiarity in her heart for no reason.

"Is that okay?"

“…… Come and refuse, no matter who it is, are the rules clear? ”

"Well, a trick on your hand." I used honorifics and took my attitude very seriously.

"But you haven't learned a sword at all......"

On the first day of recovery, he met a strange "female swordsman".
