Chapter 431: Meeting Alone
A horse-drawn carriage, which was not very luxurious, slowly set off from the front door of the [Shinsengumi] house, and drove along the avenue towards a certain place. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Needless to say, the carriage at this moment was riding in the carriage by Bai Ye, who was the instructor of the [Shinsengumi], and the general secretary who accompanied him to the [Gen Family] mansion.
In order to avoid being recognized by others and causing him to fail in the low-key thing, Bai Ye chose to take the carriage as a means of travel.
As for the general director, it was because the other party insisted on coming over, and Bai Ye naturally had no opinion on this, so he went with the other party.
In the carriage, Bai Ye sat somewhat casually, and across from him, the head secretary looked like he was sitting.
With a frown, and after thinking about some things a little, Bai Ye couldn't help but ask out loud.
"By the way, the Director-General, do you know what kind of person the ruler of the [Gen Family] is?"
After all, he was about to meet with the other party next, and Bai Ye felt that it would be better to get to know each other a little first.
"Hmm...... Do you mean Yoriko-sama......."
"How can I say it, that person doesn't pay much attention to things like power, and fundamentally, he is more like an upright martial artist!"
"It's just ......."
"Huh? But what? ”
"No, nothing! In short, I've only met Lai Guang a few times, but he should be a good talker, so the teacher doesn't need to be nervous or anything. ”
Facing Bai Ye's questioning, the general secretary hurriedly shook his head and signaled that it was nothing.
Actually, she doesn't know much about the [Gen Family] one.
Although the other party has been helping [Shinsengumi], but to be honest, including himself, Mr. Kondo, and Mr. Hijikata, I don't know what the reason is.
However, since the other party had helped them in the most difficult time of the [Shinsengumi], they must also be grateful to them.
In the past two years, she has also met with Isamu Kondo and Toyozo Hijikata.
Just, how to say it.......
Every time they met, although the other party's etiquette was very thoughtful, she always felt that the one looked at her a little strangely.
That feeling, as if the other party is inexplicably hating themselves.
Although it is not obvious, the intuition of the Director-General tells him so.
The one didn't like to be in front of her.
It's just that that feeling doesn't seem to be pure disgust or disgust, but rather something similar to the emotion of resentment when your beloved thing is snatched away by the other party.
At that time, the general director felt a little strange, because she and the other party were obviously only meeting for the first time, but she was inexplicably hated by the other party, and she also felt very weird.
Not only that, but it wasn't the swordsman's intuition, but the woman's instinct that told her that one seemed to be "dangerous" in a sense.
Because of this strange feeling, after the first meeting, the director tried to avoid direct contact with that person.
If it was just the two of them who saw each other, she didn't know what would happen.
In short, it shouldn't be a good thing.......
And this time, the reason why she insisted on coming with her was actually worried that her teacher would not be good if the other party clashed because of the somewhat off-line personality.
After all, no matter what the [Gen Family] says, it is also kind to their group, if it is okay, the head secretary hopes that Bai Ye's visit this time can make the result as ordinary as possible, and then everyone will continue to get along with Lele.
"Honest warrior.......
Bai Ye's side didn't care about what the general secretary wanted to say just now, but he himself muttered to himself.
Minamoto Yorimitsu, one of the most famous generals in the Heian period........
Moreover, judging from the legends of later generations, it was also that person who finally defeated the [Wine Swallowing Boy].
It seems that it will be necessary to discuss that matter with the other party later.
After all, if you want to complete the mission you came to this world, the opponent's combat power is indispensable.
Moreover, as far as the identity of a martial artist is concerned, Bai Ye is also somewhat interested in the existence of the so-called "upright martial artist" in the mouth of his own disciple.
If you can get such an evaluation from the head office with a serious personality, you must be in terms of martial arts, the other party will not be bad.
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and unconsciously, Bai Ye also had a little more expectation for meeting each other.
Because there was still some time before the final destination, Bai Ye planned to close his eyes and recuperate for a while.
In this way, directly closing his eyes, Bai Ye relaxed his body and mind and gradually waited.
The general manager on the other side glanced at Bai Ye a little helplessly, but he didn't say anything, and chose to wait quietly on the side.
―――――――――――――――
Due to inertia, at the moment when the carriage stopped, Bai Ye's body couldn't help but lean forward for a while, but it also made him sober up.
Taking a deep breath, and then slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Bai Ye naturally took the hand of the general secretary and got out of the carriage directly.
"Is this where the one of the Gen family lives?"
"Should I say that he really deserves to be one of the best nobles, he is really magnificent!"
Looking at the luxurious mansion in front of him that was full of aura and had the charm of ancient roads, Bai Ye couldn't help but smile.
"Old, teacher, hand ......."
Some writhing sounds suddenly sounded, but it made Bai Ye smile bitterly.
"Yes, yes! I'll let it go! ”
Looking at the somewhat shy look of the general secretary beside him, Bai Ye also had nothing to say.
Obviously, the people of [Shinsengumi] almost know that the other party has a special relationship with themselves, but if she is outside, this girl will still be embarrassed.
However, it doesn't matter, after all, the other party's personality is like this, and it must not be so easy to adapt so quickly.
Moreover, this is in someone else's mansion, so let's do a little bit of our duty here.
"Uh-huh......"
Seeing Bai Ye let go of his hand so simply, the general director's mood was inexplicably a little complicated.
However, she also knew that she was going to meet very important people next, so she quickly regained her calm.
"You two are from the [Shinsengumi]. Please come with me, the adults are already waiting inside. ”
The attendant at the door suddenly walked to the carriage and said, it seems that the other party has really been waiting for him for a long time.
"Then I'm bothering you."
Bai Ye smiled slightly, and at the same time turned around and instructed the coachman to wait here, and then entered the mansion with the chief secretary.
Under the leadership of the attendants, Bai Ye and the chief secretary soon came to a place similar to a reception room.
Because the other party was going to tell him, Bai Ye also drank tea casually and waited.
However, it seemed that due to the tension, the general secretary had been sitting on the side, for fear that there was something wrong with his etiquette, and was quietly waiting.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Hakuya, and Miss Okita!"
About ten minutes later, a familiar voice with apologies suddenly sounded, but it made Bai Ye's brows furrowed.
"Your Excellency, it's been a long time. It's just that you're the one who came? ”
"What about the [Minamoto Raimitsu]-sama? Could it be that there is something important that cannot be rushed? ”
After seeing the person who came clearly, the corners of Bai Ye's mouth hooked up and asked such a question.
In principle, this seems to be a bit rude, but Hakuya is also a little anxious because of his curiosity.
"Teacher !!"
Sure enough, after Bai Ye asked this, the general director on the side immediately reminded the other party softly.
With a look of anxiety on his face, the chief secretary didn't want the other party to cause his teacher and the [Yuan family] to fight each other because of this matter!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Usui, but I'm a little impulsive......."
"You don't have to, Lord White Night, it was our negligence to keep you waiting for so long, but it was indeed because we had something to deal with before, so we came late, please forgive me!"
Sadamitsu Usui sincerely apologized, if it weren't for his own general insisting on doing that thing himself, he wouldn't have left this one here for so long.
"Lady Laiguang's words are waiting for you in the room at this moment, if you can, your lord hopes that you can go there alone........"
"It is said that there is something important to talk about........
Sadamitsu Usui subconsciously glanced at the head secretary, then at Bai Ye, and said cautiously, at the same time, with a hint of pleading on his face.
"Oh~! Alone......."
His eyes couldn't help narrowing, but Bai Ye didn't say anything more.
On the contrary, the general director on the side glanced at Bai Ye with some concern, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"In that case, it's fine!"
"After all, I have something I want to talk to about with that person!"
After a while, Bai Ye gave his own answer, but it made Samitsu Usui breathe a sigh of relief.
Really, why would you want me to do this for the general.......
sighed a little helplessly in his heart, at least, Bai Ye agreed to the request, and still let him settle down a little.
In this way, I'm almost done, Lord Laiguang........
"Teacher ........"
The general secretary's voice sounded with worry, I don't know why, from just now, she had another not very good premonition in her heart.
It's not dangerous, it's just uncomfortable.......
Therefore, she was a little worried that Bai Ye would agree to the other party's request, and whether anything would happen to her in the future.
"Don't worry, Director-General, it's okay. The other party should just want to talk to me about the crusade, so there's nothing to worry about. ”
“....... Well, if you're going to go back to the [Shinsengumi] side first, go back to help Kondo supervise their training, and after I solve it here, I'll go back, and I don't have to leave the carriage for me! ”
Touching the other party's silky hair, there was a faint smile on Bai Ye's face.
"That.... Well........"
After some tangled thought, the Director-General finally nodded.
After all, what Hakuya said also makes sense, this is [New Kyoto], and the other party is the head of the [Gen Family], no matter what, he shouldn't do something to Hakuya.
"Then lead the way, Your Excellency Usui."
After pacifying the general secretary, Bai Ye got up and said.
As soon as I came, I asked to meet alone, but I want to see what kind of person you are, [Yuan Laiguang]........
Looking at the back of Bai Ye following the other party and leaving, the head secretary Dai frowned unconsciously.
Because, for no reason, there was a strange feeling in her heart that lingered, so she was still a little hesitant.
However, since the teacher said so, there should be no problem.
Well...... I guess so.......
