"Grandma, you are not young anymore. Isn't it appropriate to drink such strong wine?"

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

Kinoshita Rin looked at Qingto with a strange expression - a sly glint in her eyes.

"I am already an old man, how can I drink such strong wine?"

"Of course you drank vodka, and I drank red bean soup."

Click - Qingden seemed to hear the sound of his body turning to stone.

Kinoshita Mai looked anxious.

Judging from her appearance, she should know the "power" of vodka very well.

She shouted worriedly:

"Grandma, a big box full of vodka will kill you, right?"

Kinoshita Rin responded calmly:

"Ah Wu, please be patient."

"I'm not a devil, how can I force others into trouble?"

"I didn't mean to torture An Yi."

"I just wanted to see how ugly he was when he was drunk, to satisfy my sadistic...my curiosity."

Although she changed her words in time, Qingdeng still heard the terrible words.

Aoden belatedly discovered that under Kinoshita Rin's kind appearance, there seemed to be a very serious quirk hidden...

At this time, Kinoshita Lin seemed to have remembered something, and turned to Boss Kiryu and said:

"Ah, that's right, this is a rare opportunity. Let's call Nanchibei and Katsurokuro here too."

Shichibei, Katsurokuro—hearing these two names, Boss Kiryu’s eyebrows suddenly lit up with joy.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Pat, pat, pat... Boss Kiryu's three steps followed by two steps quickly left and disappeared.

This time, he was gone for a little longer.

While waiting silently, Aoto asked Kinoshita Rin:

"Grandma, who are Nanchibei and Katsurokuro?"

"They are my old friends."

She answered with a look of reminiscence on her face.

"Kuro, Mihachi, Nanhei, and Katsurokuro, the four of them are my first partners."

Yahachi——The "Dragon of Kyoto" Makimura Yahachi.

"They've been doing things with me since I was a teenager."

"I am very lucky to have such a group of companions who share a common bond with me."

"Thanks to their strong support, I am able to live safely to this day and achieve something."

"Kuro and Mihachi are both the kind of people who can't sit still."

"Even if I tell them to rest and take care of themselves, they are still fighting on the front line."

"As for Nanibei and Katsurokuro, like me, they can no longer wield the sword."

"So they now live a leisurely life every day, wandering around the streets with nothing to do during the day, and playing chess, drinking, and reading novels at night."

"Although they always complain to me that they are 'too boring', I think their current life is pretty good."

"They have been busy for most of their lives and shed countless blood and sweat. It is time for them to enjoy a peaceful life."

After Qingdeng listened, he silently calculated in his heart:

Since these two people, like Kiryu's boss and Makimura Yahachi, are Kinoshita Rin's first companions, they are at least eighty or ninety years old.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but secretly sighed:

"Grandma, you and your companions all live so long..."

Kinoshita Lin smiled:

"Maybe it's because we have done too many good things, so God intends to reward us."

Kinoshita Rin said that she and her old friends could no longer wield the sword... To be honest, Qingto only had reservations about her remarks and did not completely believe it.

His other master—Kondo Shusuke—always talks about “my waist hurts so much” on weekdays.

But when he held the sword, it was as if his muscle memory had been revived! It was so fierce! There was no sign of back pain at all.

At this time, Boss Kiryu returned - behind him were two gray-haired old men.

One of them is tall and tall. Although his face is dominated by thick wrinkles, it still cannot hide his regular and handsome facial features.

It is not difficult to see that this man was definitely a handsome and handsome guy when he was young.

In comparison, the other person seems relatively ordinary. His face and figure are very ordinary, and he belongs to the type of "you can't find him if you throw him into the crowd".

"Tachibana-kun, let me introduce you."

Boss Kiryu pointed at the handsome old man.

"This is Shichirobe Asai."

Then, he pointed to the ordinary old man.

"This is Shimada Katsurokuro."

Asai, Shimada - upon hearing these two characters, Qingto raised his eyebrows.

"Asai, Shimada...Boss Kiryu, are they the grandfathers of the 'Complex Man' Moriyasu Asai and the 'Thunder Slayer' Kanichi Shimada?"

Boss Kiryu nodded:

"That's right. You are very sharp. You guessed it so quickly."

Qingdeng looked at the two old men - the other party was also looking at him.

"Tachibana Aki, this is the first time we meet, Shichirobe Asai."

Shichirobe Asai bowed and politely introduced himself to Aonto.

Shimada Katsurokuro followed closely and also reported his home to Aonto.

"We have just heard about the specific matters from Jiulang."

Asai Shichirobei said, turning his head to the side and looking at Kinoshita Mai with a tender face.

"Ah Wu, congratulations to you."

Shimada Shengrokuro took over the conversation with a smile:

"The little one got married back then... Sure enough, the older you get, the faster time flies."

Kinoshita Mai blushed and shyly accepted their congratulations:

"Thank you, thank you!"

After sending congratulations to Aoto and Mai Kinoshita, the two people sat down next to bosses Kinoshita Rin and Kiryu very naturally.

Shimada Shengrokuro looked at his old friends on the left and right, and chuckled a few times:

"This lineup reminds me of the past."

Asai Shichirobei echoed:

"It's a pity that there is still a Makimura missing. This guy happened to go to the northeast to do something at this time. If he were here, there would really be a crowd."

Boss Kiryu had a smile on his cheeks:

"The time when Calabash House was just founded and there were only a few of us as members were my glorious years... I really miss them."

Kinoshita Rin raised her lips:

"From today on, our big family will have a new member."

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to look at Qingdeng.

Boss Kiryu spread his hands:

"Yeah, that's true. There's one more thing worth remembering."

Suddenly, Shichirobe Asai stretched out his hand and hooked Aonto's shoulder.

"Ju Anyi, since we are already a family, you cannot refuse today's cocktail party! We will not return until we are drunk!"

After that, he casually picked up a bottle of vodka from the box and unscrewed the cap with his bare hands very skillfully.

Immediately afterwards, Boss Kiryu and Shimada Katsurokuro were not to be outdone. They both reached out and each took out a bottle of vodka from the box.

Without saying a word, they directly grabbed the vodka in their hands... The heroic feat of these three old men shocked Qingden.
To be continued...
