Harada followed this alluring scent and moved his eyes inch by inch.

Finally, his eyes settled on a certain grilled squid stall.

…

"Well……"

This kind of environment where everyone rubs shoulders is extremely unfriendly to a petite and light person like Toudo Heisuke.

Not only is it easy to be squeezed out by tall people, but the view is also extremely bad.

Although he had tried his best to keep up with Qingdeng and the others, the thick flow of people still separated him from the rest of the army bit by bit...

…

"Come on! Come on! Don't miss it if you pass by! There is a wonderful sword show to watch! Next, I will throw this radish into the air, and then use my superb pulling skills just before it hits the ground.

Cut it in half with sword skills!"

A down-and-out samurai who was dressed in extremely shabby clothes and was forced to earn a living by performing martial arts on the streets. He shouted hard to attract the audience. As a martial arts fanatic, Nagakura, after hearing that this man was about to perform a sword-drawing show, he immediately became excited.

Interested, I stopped to watch.

After many people gathered around him, the fallen warrior casually threw a small carrot into the air. After it landed above his head, he cut the carrot into two with a very neat and beautiful sword drawing technique.

Halfway through, the onlookers around saw this and applauded one after another.

"Oh..." Nagakura grinned, "Your kung fu is pretty good."

After looking at Nagakura happily, he turned his gaze back to the front of him.

However, my companions are no longer visible in front of me...

…

"Huh? Why are Toudou-kun and Harada-kun missing? Huh? Nagakura-kun is also missing."

Inoue's sudden exclamation caused Qingto, Souji and others to turn around and look back one by one.

"How come everyone is missing?" the general manager asked in confusion.

Hijikata, who was the first to leave, at least said something to Kondo before he disappeared, and Kondo later explained to everyone that "Hijikata has something to do, so he left temporarily" - because there are still young people like Elodie.

Young children were present, so it was inconvenient for Kondo to say bluntly, "Hijikata must also be seducing women."

Compared with Hijikata, Nagakura, Harada, and Toudou really disappeared without a trace...

"Where have those idiots gone..." Qingdeng, who had just reminded everyone to be careful not to get separated, had a dark look on his face.

"It's really annoying..." Kondo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is no other way, I'll go find them."

"Ah, I'll go too." There were three missing people. Considering that Kondo might not be able to find them if only Kondo was asked to find them, Inoue took the initiative to raise his hand and offered to help Kondo.

Someone who has the same idea as Inoue is Saito.

"...I'll go too." Saito said calmly, "There are three missing people, so it would be more appropriate to send three people to look for them."

"Uncle Gen, Saito-kun, do you all want to come with me to find Nagakura-kun and the others? Okay, then - Tachibana-kun, Souji, you two take little Elodie to play around first. Let's

The three of us are going to find those lost fools. When the fireworks show is about to start, let’s meet at the east bridge entrance of Ryogoku Bridge.”

"Uh... okay, I understand." Qingden nodded.

From Kondo's arrangement, it is not difficult to see that he is taking care of Elodie.

Nagakura and the others are missing... No matter whether it is emotion or reason, they cannot be ignored.

The only people who are familiar with Elodie are Qingteng and Souji.

If Qingteng and Souji are sent to find Nagakura and the others, the remaining people will not even know what to talk to Elodie.

So from the perspective of "taking care of Elodie", Kondo's arrangement is quite reasonable.

…

…

After watching Kondo, Inoue and Saito set off to find the lost idiots, Aoto raised his head, looked at Elodie who was sitting astride his neck, and then looked at Souji next to him.

There was a large group of people just now, but in the blink of an eye, only the three of them were left... This made Qingdeng feel helpless and funny at the same time.

"Let's go. After the fireworks show starts, we can meet Mr. Kondo and the others at Ryogoku Bridge."

"Yes." The director nodded slightly.

After walking forward for dozens of steps, Qingdeng and his party finally crossed this extremely crowded street.

After leaving this street, Qingdeng and the others felt "suddenly enlightened."

Although there are still a lot of people, they are no longer so crowded that you can only squirm forward.

Qingdeng glanced around - they seemed to have entered the "game area".

The stalls on both sides of the street are full of various game stalls.

"Elodie." Qingden looked up at Elodie, "Is there anything you want to play?"

"Uh...ah! I want to play with that!"

Elodie raised her hand and pointed forward to the left.

Qingden looked in the direction pointed by Elodie's finger.

Then my heart suddenly "thumped"...

The game stall that Elodie was referring to... was an arrow-throwing game stall with a very familiar appearance...

"Ah!" At this time, Souji answered with bright eyes, "I want to play that too! Let's go, let's go play together!"

After finishing speaking, the general manager took the vanguard and trotted towards the arrow-throwing game stand.

"..." Qingden looked with a stiff expression as he repeatedly glanced at Souji, who had already rushed to the stall, and Elodie, who was smiling expectantly.

In such a situation, how could Qingdeng say, "Why don't we stop playing that game?"...

Qingteng, who was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, had no choice but to take a deep breath, move his slightly stiff feet, and bravely follow the footsteps of the commander-in-chief.

General Manager: "Boss! How do you charge here!"

"Oh! 1 arrow, 2 cents! Whatever thing on the shelf you throw at it will return..."

The boss's words suddenly stopped.

Qingdeng: "..."

boss:"……"

After looking at the bald boss whom he had met the day before yesterday and yesterday, Qingden couldn't help but look away slightly...

The bald boss looked at Qingdeng for a moment with a dumbfounded expression.

Then, he turned his eyes and glanced around Qingdeng.

He didn't see the red figure that almost caused him a psychological shadow, and the blue figure whose temperament and manners were so graceful that she looked like a famous princess walking out of a storybook... I only saw a beautiful young man with an extremely cute appearance, and a girl from a famous family.

Judging from her voice and body shape, she looks like a girl in yellow who is around 13 years old at most.

When he saw the chief executive, the bald boss could barely keep his composure.

But after seeing Elodie, he couldn't hold back any longer.

In an instant, the bald boss's expression changed rapidly.

He turned his gaze back to Qingdeng, and his expression changed from "dumbfounded" to... as if he had seen some strange-looking insect...

"Huh?" asked the confused Souji, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you so stunned all of a sudden?"

"Uh...well, it's okay."

The bald boss showed his good professionalism.

His weird expression, as if he was looking at a bug, disappeared in an instant.

With a professional smile on his face again, he said enthusiastically:

"One arrow costs two cents! Whatever item on the shelf you throw at it will be yours! Master Samurai, do you want to give it a try?"

"Oh! It's quite cheap! Ju-kun, do you want to come and play too?"

"I don't have to..."

Qingdeng, who had already played this game twice in two days, found it hard to get interested in it again.

Moreover, I met the bald boss three times, and every time I met, the partner beside me was different... Such coincidences made Qingdeng feel inexplicably embarrassed, and Qingdeng really was not in the mood to play games.

Qingdeng felt: The bald boss must have misunderstood him...

But in the current environment, it was not convenient for him to explain to his bald boss.

I can only silently bear the strange sight of my bald boss...

"Aren't you going to play? Okay then. Xiaodi, let's play just the two of us! How about we both play 10 arrows each first?"

Xiaodi - the nickname given to Elodie by the chief executive because he thought Elodie's name was a bit difficult to pronounce.
To be continued...
