Without their clever cooperation, Chiba Jutaro would not have been able to be taken away so smoothly.

At this moment, Qingden couldn't help but sigh: Souji really has a group of very reliable family members.

Thanks to the assistance of Kondo and others, the objects that would further expose Souji's secrets are now gone.

But at this moment... Qingden suddenly realized something and opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the empty bath in front of him.

A murmur like a dream came out:

"Am I the only one left?"

Kondo, Hijikata, and Inoue, the three people who knew Souji's true gender and could provide assistance to Aoto, are all gone at this moment.

In other words - Aomori now has to find a way to bring Souji back to the Imperial Guard Hall on his own!

For a moment, Qingdeng's face was filled with embarrassment, and a strange atmosphere dominated the entire bathhouse...

In the silence that seemed as if time and space had suddenly stopped, chaotic thoughts mingled in Qingdeng's mind.

In this situation where I was the only one left, I couldn't even run to fetch reinforcements.

With the current situation of the General Secretary, there is definitely no way it can be delayed any longer.

If it continues, small symptoms will turn into big symptoms.

Ever since - Qingdeng, who only felt that every minute and every second now was extremely long, made up his mind at this moment.

"...Miss Okita, come on, can you still stand up?"

Qingden tensed every muscle on his face, suppressing the look of embarrassment on his face, and quickly turned around to face Souji, who was facing away from him. He stretched out his hands and gently pressed Souji's shoulders.

, holding the general secretary's body steady.

"Hmm... ummm... um..."

Souji moaned softly like a cat that just woke up.

Souji, who had been able to have a normal conversation with Ayoto just a moment ago, could only respond with a weak whisper.

The lips are white and the eyes are closed.

——Is your consciousness already in a trance like this...

While Qingdeng felt his heart sinking, he was determined to bring the chief commander back to the trial defense hall as soon as possible without any delay!

There was no time to hesitate... Qingto took a deep breath, then put his hands under Souji's fair armpits from behind, gently lifted Souji up, and then dragged Souji out of the bath.

"Come on, Miss Okita." Regardless of whether the current general manager could hear him clearly, Aoto said slowly in a gentle tone, as if he was coaxing a baby to sleep, "Watch your steps."

Adhering to the concept of "see no evil", Qingdeng kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead and never glanced at the beauty he was holding in his hands.

"Uh... uh uh... uh..."

Along the way, the general manager kept making gibbering moans without any specific meaning.

The two cute little feet that lost their strength could only be dragged on the ground like pendants.

In addition to trying his best to prevent his eyes from seeing something he shouldn't see, Qingto's hands are also trying to avoid any overly intimate contact with Souji.

However... Qingto's hands are now placed under Souji's armpits.

Such movements, such postures... it is easy to cause accidents.

For example, at this moment, a little accident happened unexpectedly——

"Uh...hmm...!"

Perhaps it was because Aoto's actions of dragging her away made Souji uncomfortable.

I saw her letting out a low cry of pain and twisting her body slightly.

This kind of struggle, which has basically no strength at all, is naturally impossible to escape Qingdeng's control.

However, her slight twist caused two lumps of something very close to her armpit to scratch Qingdeng's palm.

Qingdeng's palms clearly felt a touch that was difficult to describe in detail with specific words...

This touch awakened a "fresh" memory in Qingdeng's mind - the scene where he accidentally used it as a grip just now flashed quickly in front of Qingdeng's eyes.

Although some time has passed... the feeling from that time is still clearly engraved on Qingdeng's right palm.

The embarrassment and embarrassment that he had finally suppressed suddenly emerged on Qingdeng's face like a flood.

After relying on brute strength and perseverance to control himself not to recall this memory and feel, Qingden couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart:

——How on earth does Ms. Okita hide such impressive things...

Unless he saw it with his own eyes and held it with his own hands, it would be difficult for Qingdeng to equate the "big flat plate" general manager he was familiar with with the "big mountain range" general manager he was currently holding.

Qingteng has little research on this aspect and is not sure how to use specific words to describe the size of the General Office.

If Aoto was forced to describe Souji's greatness in detail... then Aoto could only use the two women he knew well who also had very impressive talents in this area, namely Sanako and Kinoshita Mai.

The General Secretary made an image comparison.

Overall, Souji is smaller than Sanako and Kinoshita Mai.

If Sanako and Mai Kinoshita are difficult to control with one hand, then Souji is just right with one hand.

Except for "Aoden's palms suddenly received a 'gentle attack'", there were no other accidents on the way to dragging Souji out of the bath.

After successfully arriving at the dressing room without any danger, a new problem befell Qingdeng - how could he help the general secretary wipe himself?

We can't let Souji go back in such a wet state, right?

In the Souji's bathtub, there is a small cloth towel that she specially uses to dry her body.

But I also knew that there was no way Aomori could use the Souji's little cloth to wipe her body. This kind of thing, which cannot be described as "too ambiguous contact", has escaped the category of "discourteous" and risen to the level of

The realm of "crime".

In desperation, Qingto could only use his change of clothes - a yukata that was very breathable and sweat-absorbent to wrap Souji's whole body, wrapping Souji like a silkworm baby, so that he could wear as much as possible in this yukata

Suck the water droplets off Souji's body.

The difference in body size allowed Aomori's yukata to wrap up most of Souji's body smoothly.

Naturally, it is impossible to completely wipe away the water droplets and water stains on Souji's body with this method, but Qingden can't control that much! Just do what you can!

When he felt that his yukata had absorbed all the water drops on Souji's body, Aoto took Souji's change of clothes: a lavender yukata and put it on Souji's

On the body.

After helping Souji get dressed, Qingto put on his own yukata that was filled with Souji's bath water.

The clothes that were originally clean were now wet... Qingdeng could only make do with it.

After a lot of hard work, I finally got myself and Souji dressed.

Of course - when he was wiping Souji's body with his yukata and dressing Souji, Ayoto raised his gaze the whole time and didn't let himself see too much of the spring scenery.

Fortunately, putting on a yukata is relatively simple. You only need to wrap it around the person's body and then tighten the belt. You can help people change into a yukata even with your eyes closed.

Next...all that's left is to take Souji back to the trial defense hall.

It would be too inappropriate to drag the General Secretary back to the trial defense hall with the same method as dragging a corpse.

Firstly, it is inconvenient. The journey from Chihiro House to the Bathroom is several times longer than the journey from the bathhouse to the dressing room. "Drag the body" is only suitable for short distances. If the distance is too long, it will be tiring and inconvenient.

Secondly, if you do this, it will arouse the suspicion of the Chihiroya staff and let them find out that Souji, who was just a boy, has now turned into a girl.

He had no choice but to carry her back... Qingdeng thought over and over again, and after weighing the pros and cons of various "transportation methods", he found that it was the safest and most convenient to carry the general secretary on his back.

Qingteng squatted down and asked the General Secretary to lie on his back. He then put the General Secretary's hands on his shoulders, then stretched his arms downwards, lifted the General Secretary's legs from below, and pulled the General Secretary's legs together.

The legs are raised to the height of your waist.

Souji is petite and very light in weight.

For Ayonobu, carrying Okita on his back was no different than carrying a cat.

"Hmm...well..."

Souji, who was completely unconscious, probably felt comfortable lying on Qingteng's back. She subconsciously tightened her arms and legs and hugged Qingteng tightly.

Persimmons with plump flesh are pressed into tight persimmons...

Qingdeng's back was severely compressed, and he felt as if two strong electric currents were running through his body from his back.

Qingdeng's body visibly stiffened. But soon, his body and expression returned to normal.

For Qingdeng, who had already encountered too many emergencies and emergencies tonight, such a small thing as "a persimmon turned into a persimmon" behind his back could no longer cause a large-scale ripple in his heart.

After all, he had done something even more extreme than this tonight... and more than once.

Silently focusing on the road under his feet, ignoring Qingto who was constantly introducing electricity into his body from Souji, he carried Souji calmly out of the dressing room, toward the door, and outside Chihiro's house.

Walked away in stride.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, Yubaba, who was sitting behind the counter, immediately noticed Souji who was being carried behind him by Aomori.

"Oh, what's wrong with this guest?" Yubaba asked anxiously with a worried look on her face, "Is he as dizzy as the guest just now?"

The "guest" Yubaba mentioned was naturally referring to Inoue, who had just been carried out by Kondo and Chiba Jutaro.

Because the persimmons were pressed tightly into persimmons, Yubaba didn't notice that the person behind Qingden had "changed" from a boy to a girl.

"It's okay," Qingdeng said with a smile, "It's just that it's a little late and she's a little sleepy."

"Oh..." Yubaba showed a relieved expression, "It's okay, it's okay."

After saying goodbye politely to Granny Yu, Qingto successfully opened the door curtain, walked through the shop door, and came out of the bathhouse.

As soon as he walked out of Qianxun House, the hot and humid air unique to summer nights immediately surrounded Qingden from all directions like a tide.

The section of road from Chihiro House to the Trial Guard Hall does not pass through dense residential areas, and there are no izakayas that are open until early morning along the way. Therefore, at this time, the streets in this area are basically

Not even a ghost was seen.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, Qingdeng does not have to worry about meeting any pedestrians on the way back to the Trial Guard Hall.
To be continued...
