As he spoke, he made a "grab" motion.

"Although Tachibana always looks serious on weekdays, I know him very well. He is actually very lustful and has a full desire to 'build a big family'."

Shannan Keisuke asked rhetorically:

"Even if you are 'building a big family', you still have to choose a first wife, right?"

Isamu Kondo waved his hand.

"Mr. Shannan, I don't think we need to think about it so deeply for the time being."

"What we should do now is suggest Mr. Ju to get married as soon as possible."

"As for who should be chosen as the main wife, this is a question that Jun Ju should think about. There is no need for us to share the worries for him."

After Shannan Jingzhu listened, he nodded thoughtfully:

"Yeah, that's right..."

…

…

The discussion between Hijikata Toizan and others continued, but the three women outside the door did not choose to listen anymore.

They threw the door behind them and strolled leisurely along the deserted corridor.

There are two main reasons why I chose to leave.

First, Hijikata Toshizo and the others were in a meeting, so it was inconvenient to disturb them.

Secondly... I don't know why, but they wanted to escape from that place as soon as possible.

Sanako: "..."

Kinoshita Mai: "..."

Director-General: "..."

No one spoke... Even the general manager, who always showed a cheerful image, kept his mouth tightly shut at this time.

The three of them all looked full of thoughts, as if they were thinking about the ultimate question in the universe.

Suddenly, Kinoshita Mai let out a dry laugh.

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Her sudden laughter attracted the attention of the other two women.

Kinoshita Mai lowered her head and played with her fingers while saying weakly:

"Qingden is now the lord of a vassal."

"Now that he has taken this position, it is no longer up to him whether to get married or not."

"It's time for Qingdeng to get married...to someone who is the right match for him."

"Actually, I think what Mr. Shannan said makes sense..."

"Compared to me, Miss Chiba is indeed more suitable for Aoto."

When she said this, Sanako beside her suddenly lowered her face, and her eyes became particularly scary.

Kinoshita Mai’s words continued:

"Miss Chiba is the eldest daughter of the 'Swordsman Family' and has a prominent family background."

"Appearance, temperament, education, etc. are all flawless."

"Mr. Shannan is right...if Qingto's wife was Miss Chiba, everyone would be happy."

"So...Miss Chiba, please marry Qingto as soon as possible."

"In this way, the Shinsengumi's military morale will be stabilized."

"Although Qingdeng will definitely talk about 'three principal wives' and so on, for me, 'always by Qingdeng's side' is the most important thing."

"Names and all that don't matter at all."

"Miss Chiba, if you are the main wife, then I am willing to be the side wife."

After she finished speaking, she showed a comfortable and sunny smile.

A perfect smile without any grievance or sadness.

Although Kinoshita Mai chirped a lot, Sanako's response was simple:

"..."

She said nothing, just squinting her eyes and staring straight at Kinoshita Mai.

"Uh...well...that..."

The general manager hesitated and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Her gaze jumped back and forth between the two women, her eyes flashing with uneasiness.

Perhaps she sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, so she quickly took a half-step forward and separated the two women with her body.

"Miss Kinoshita, what are you talking about? This is not a place for chatting. Let's change to another place. Ah, by the way, do you want to eat Jinping candy..."

Before she could finish her words, Sanako interrupted her ruthlessly:

"...Okita Tsukasa, get out of the way."

Taking advantage of her height, Sanako stretched her hands directly above Souji's head, pinched Kinoshita Mai's cheeks one on the left and the other on the right, and then pulled hard on both sides.

"Ah! It hurts!! Miss Chiba, what are you doing?!"

Kinoshita Mai screamed, tears streaming down her face from the pain.

Although she screamed miserably, Sanako showed no sign of stopping. Instead, she worked harder, forcefully stretching Kinoshita Mai's face to twice its usual size.

Sanako just pinched Kinoshita Mai's face and said without sadness or joy:

"What do you mean by 'marry Qingdeng soon'?"

"What does 'if you are the main wife, then I am willing to be the side wife'?"

"I finally understand why you always give me an uncomfortable feeling."

"That's it... Kinoshita Mai, it's your character that makes me very unhappy."

"Are you some terrible, terrible guy?"

“Why do you always look like you are ‘not as good as others’ and ‘just want to stay away’?”

"You are not as beautiful as me, your temperament is not as good as mine, your cultivation is not as high as mine - so what? What does this mean?"

"If you are a good-for-nothing guy, then why is Tachibana-kun so obsessed with you?"

"Don't say things like this again that make people angry."

After saying that, Sanako let go of Mai Kinoshita's face.

While Kinoshita Mai was speechless after being scolded by her and even forgot to rub her face, she turned her eyes and looked at Souji next to her.

Sanako's momentum just now was too strong...so strong that he could directly suppress Souji!

I saw her standing stupidly by the wall, not even daring to express her anger.

When Sanako looked at her, she straightened her back quickly and tensed up, like a student waiting for lectures.

Sanako took a deep look at Souji, then put her hand on her forehead and covered most of her face with her palm.

"It's really enough..."

"Isn't it just getting married...making a fuss...it's really not my style..."

"Forget it...it just so happens that I am impatient with the current situation of neither getting better nor getting worse..."

"Do you want to get married?"

"Okay, let's get married then!"

After talking to himself, Sanako put down the hand on his forehead - and saw a strong look of determination on his cheeks.

"Come with me!"

As she said that, she stretched out her hands, grabbed Souji and Kinoshita Mai by the back collars, and dragged them like this, striding away...
