"mouse?"

Harada sat up from the tatami.

"Mrs. Kondo, haven't we killed all the rats in the trial hall today?"

During the day today, Abi led Saito and Harada, who were very free, and searched every corner of the test hall. They killed more than ten rats until they could no longer hear anything from the gaps in the ceiling and walls.

Don't stop until there is any abnormal noise.

"I found a fish that slipped through the net! It's on the ceiling of the dojo! The sound was very soft, there should be 2 or 3 of them!"

Abi clenched the broom in his hand with a serious look on his face.

“We cannot ignore these few fish that slipped through the net!”

"If we ignore it, these few fish that have slipped through the net will become dozens of them in a few months! All our efforts today will be in vain!"

"The ceiling of the dojo is too big. I can't clean it by myself. If any of you are free, please come and help!"

Nagakura, Saito, and Harada are all diners living in the Shiwei Hall now. The sanitary conditions of the Shiwei Hall are closely related to his living conditions.

Culling the rats in the trial house is equivalent to ensuring that your living environment is tidy.

Regardless of the very material reason of "culling the rats in the Trial Guard Hall is good for you", the fact that the Kondo family is willing to let them make the Trial Guard Hall their home is enough for them to accept the offer without hesitation.

A small job that is not too troublesome.

"Okay!" Harada's body jumped up like a spring. The moment his butt left the tatami, he straightened his legs and sat upright. "Then let's rope in the remaining fish that slipped through the net.

Let’s bring justice!”

"I told you...that's not how justice works..." Saito slowly raised his upper body, lying flat on the tatami, like a corpse.

Hijikata, Nagakura, and Kubei followed Harada and Saito and stood up, silently showing their willingness to do their part in the "rat eradication operation" with their actions.

Except for Qingteng who was taking a shower with Souji, all the guests among the diners followed Abi to the dojo of the Trial Guard Hall.

After arriving at the dojo, they saw Shusuke, Kondo and Inoue who had been waiting here all morning.

"Master." Hijikata asked, "Do you want to catch mice together too?"

"Hoo ho ho." Zhou Assistant touched his bare chin, "Our trial gym has such a big dojo, so naturally the more people who can help, the better."

The area of ​​the trial gymnasium is around one hundred square meters, and thoroughly checking the ceiling of a place with such an area is quite a workload.

"Father, mother, Mr. Kyubey, just leave the work of climbing to the ceiling to us young people." Kondo patted his extremely strong chest muscles vigorously, "You can help us hold the ladder and hand us the tools.

good."

Kondo's proposition was unanimously recognized by Hijikata and others.

Shusuke, Abi, and Jiubei are all gray-haired old people. Reasonably speaking, they should not be allowed to do such a dangerous job as climbing the ceiling.

"Can you guys do it?" Zhouzhu asked worriedly.

"Hahahaha, feel free to leave it to us!" After laughing boldly a few times, Kondo took the lead in taking a wooden ladder and climbed up to the place closest to the ceiling.

As soon as he pushed the wooden board above his head away, Zhouzhu saw a small cloud of dust falling down the gap in the wooden board.

The ceiling of the test hall will only be cleaned near the New Year.

After more than half a year of accumulation, the ceiling of the test hall has long been covered with thick dust and a large number of disgusting spider webs.

Kondo stretched his neck, held the Tianling Cover against the wooden board, and stuck half of his head into the ceiling. After taking a rough look at the dust and cobwebs that filled his field of vision, a bitter smile appeared on his cheeks:

"It seems... after killing the mouse, I have to go to Chihiro House to take a bath again..."

…

…

The two areas of "bath room" and "bath pool" must be strictly separated.

The "bathroom" is usually a fairly large room with no partitions. People collect water here to wash their bodies. After washing their bodies, they can go to the bathtub to take a bath.

When taking a bath, you can only soak in it, you cannot swim in it, and you cannot wash your body in it.

Logically speaking, no one would be so disgusted as to wash their body with this kind of bath water that has been used by countless people.

The above are all the rules that must be followed when taking a bath in a bathhouse.

At this moment, in the bathroom of Qianxunya, Qingtou cast a puzzled look at the general manager.

"Okita-kun, why are you sitting so far away?"

Perhaps it was because he had realized that he would not be able to escape Qingden's grasp tonight. After being dragged into the men's bath by Qingden, he seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and stopped struggling.

Souji, who was as naked as Aoto, was sitting quite far away from Aoto with his back to Aoto.

The same thing happened when he was taking off his clothes in the dressing room just now. Souji stood far away from Aoto with his back to Aoto and took off his clothes. After taking off his clothes, he hurried into the shower room alone.

Souji slipped into the bathroom very quickly. Qingto, who had just had time to take off his upper body clothes, turned his head because of Souji's words "I'll go in first." Souji's figure had already disappeared into the bathroom.

In the bathroom.

"I, I, I can just sit here..."

As Souji said this, he "shrunk" his body a little smaller.

Souji's current posture is completely curled up.

Put your legs together, pull your shoulders and arms hard toward your chest, and use only a wet towel in your right hand to wipe your body.

Because Souji had tightened his limbs, from Qingto's perspective, he could only see the back of Souji's head, back and buttocks.

Ever since he entered the bathhouse, Souji's behavior has been strange... Qingto couldn't help but stare at the back of Souji's head and back with eyes that became more suspicious.

The secretive attitude of the General Secretary made Qingden uncontrollably doubtful:

——Souji: Is this because I forced him, who likes to bathe alone, to take a bath with me, so he got angry and didn’t want to get close to me?

——Or... is he the kind of person who is not good at "being honest" with others?

This kind of person is quite common. There are often people like this in bathhouses: they don’t like to be “candid” with others, especially they don’t want others to see their private parts.

Qingto doesn't know whether the General Secretary is such a person.

Qingteng only knew that the general secretary had been extremely weird these past two days.

He only regarded Souji's strange behavior after entering the bathhouse as an extension of Souji's weird behavior in the past two days, so he didn't pay much attention to Souji's weird behavior and silently averted his eyes.

Neither Aomori nor Souji spoke... In the huge bathroom where they were alone, the only sound was the sound of wiping their bodies with towels.

Souji washed himself as quickly as he took off his clothes.

"I, I'm done washing!"

From the time he entered the shower room to the time when the director shouted "I'm done"... according to statistics, less than 2 minutes had passed.

"Have you finished washing?"

Qingteng, who was surprised by Souji's bathing speed, subconsciously turned to look at Souji, but he failed to see Souji - Souji had already rushed through the bath like a rabbit before he could turn around to look over.

Pass through the pomegranate mouth and rush into the bathing place.

——Okita-kun...it's really weird...

Qingdeng stared at the mouth of the pomegranate, his eyelids sank slightly, and the confusion that had just faded rose again in his eyes.

…

…

Trial Guard Hall, Dojo——

"I finally succeeded in bringing you to justice..."

Harada triumphantly held up a fat, lifeless mouse.

Saito, standing next to him, was too lazy to correct Harada's idiom usage.

"This one should be the last one." Kondo took the fat mouse from Harada's hand and threw it into the dustpan at his feet.

Counting the fat rat caught by Harada, there are now three dead rats lying quietly in the dustpan at Kondo's feet.

"It should be the last one." Hijikata said, "We have searched every corner of the ceiling of the dojo. Even if there are still fish that slipped through the net, they should have escaped far away."

"Hohohoho, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Assistant came over with a broom, "The rats in the dojo should be gone... Let's call it a night."

"Wow, likes and dislikes!"

Suddenly, Nagakura let out a scream.

Everyone turned to look and saw Nagakura peeling off a complete spider web stuck to the back of his head with a look of disgust on his face.

"There is such a big spider web stuck on my head...there should be no spiders running into my clothes..."

Nagakura crumpled the spider web into a ball, flicked it into the dustpan containing the dead mouse, and then turned over his clothes attentively to check whether there were any spider webs on his body or any spider webs that had gotten into his clothes.

spider.

Kondo glanced at Nagakura with a wry smile, then turned to look at the others: "Everyone is very embarrassed..."
