"What will it take for this ridiculous 'repelling the foreigners' to stop?"

Qingdeng, who was suddenly asked such a question, was stunned for a moment, and then sighed silently: "...How could I know about such a thing?"

…

…

After the shogunate issued a fatal order to curb the atrocities of the "anti-barbarian patriots", the southern and northern branches now have two Tongxins on night duty in their respective execution offices every night to deal with all emergencies that occur at night.

Aoto, who did not need to work the night shift today, led Saito back to the trial defense hall with a bit of fatigue after spending another day of "patroling the streets of Edo from morning to night."

As soon as he climbed up the high slope where the imperial examination hall is located, Qingden saw Okita holding a broom and sweeping the dust outside the gate of the imperial examination hall.

"Ah, Tachibana-kun, Saito-kun, you are back." Okita held up his broom and hurriedly greeted Ao and Sai who had returned, "Don't you have to work the night shift today?"

"Yeah." Aoto nodded and took off the scarf around his neck - it's obviously almost late March, and the weather in Edo is still surprisingly cold. "It won't be my turn to work the night shift until the day after tomorrow."

"That's right..." Okita nodded, "Then go back to the house and take a rest. Auntie and Mr. Kubei will have dinner ready soon."

As a housewife, A Bi takes care of all the housework in the hospital.

From what Okita told me: Gensaburo Inoue will also share some of the housework in the Imperial Guard Hall.

In Okita's introduction, Genzaburo Inoue, who also lives under the same roof as the Kondo family, is an old man who loves to do housework. He often takes the initiative to help... and even directly competes with Abi to do the housework.

Now that Inoue Genzaburo is temporarily away from the test hall because he has returned to his hometown for business, the burden on Abi's shoulders has not increased because of this - because there is Jiubei to help Abi.

Kubei, who has served Tachibana-kun for so many years and is very good at handling all kinds of housework, has been very proactive and actively helped Abi share all kinds of housework in the imperial examination hall after living in the imperial examination hall with Qingto and Saito.

Housework.

Cooking is considered Kubei's best skill. Almost every meal, Kubei would get into the kitchen to help Abi.

Because Kubei has always been very enthusiastic about helping with housework, Kubei is now considered the one in Qingto's group who is most familiar with Abi.

After entering the Trial Guard Hall and resting for a while, Abi, Jiubei and the others brought out sumptuous meals from the kitchen and invited everyone to come and have dinner.

The income of the Trial Guard Hall has increased recently, and the meals in the Trial Guard Hall have also become a lot richer in the past few days.

After finishing his dinner quickly and sitting on the ground to rest for a while to allow the food in his stomach to digest, Qingden entered the dojo and prepared to start today's exercise.

Even though he was very busy during this period, Qingdeng did not neglect his physical exercise.

I have been practicing hard for so long without any slack, and the effects of exercise have gradually appeared.

Qingdeng's body became much stronger, and his body that was originally like a "white-cut chicken" began to become more angular.

When Aoto placed his palms on the wooden floor of the dojo and started to do push-ups, Okita suddenly ran into the dojo quickly and came to Aoto:

"Jijun, there is a guest coming to see you!"

"Guest?" Qingdeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Is he a servant of the execution office?"

"It seems not." Okita shook his head, "They are two people who covered themselves very well, and one of them is a little girl."

——Cover yourself so tightly? Little girl?

Qingdeng hurried to the gate of the trial defense hall with doubts.

There were quite a few people outside the gate.

A total of eight warriors with a fierce aura in their faces and bodies gathered around two figures, one large and one small.

One of them was quite petite, wearing a white and yellow women's kimono, and a pair of yellow straw sandals.

The other person has a larger body, wearing an ordinary kimono and hakama, and his huge belly pushes up the fabric on his belly.

Both of them were wearing snow hats with deep brim, and their faces were covered with windproof cloth to completely cover their faces.

After seeing these two people... to be precise, seeing the big belly, a strong sense of familiarity came to Qingdeng's heart...

Before Qingdeng could say anything, he saw the pot-bellied man taking off the bamboo hat on his head and the wind-proof cloth on his face.

"Mr. Orange, long time no see."

"Mr. Angoulême?" Qingden was surprised.

The woman in the yellow kimono also took off all kinds of "equipment" on her face, revealing her golden hair and a pair of blue eyes.

"Mr. Tachibana." The blond loli bowed to Qingden in a very standard manner and said in a energetic voice, "Long time no see!"

These two people were the grandfather and grandson of the Angoulême family who had not seen each other for more than a month - Antoine and Elodie.

The saucy actions of these "anti-Barbarian patriots" in this book are all historical facts, and the author is not exaggerating in the slightest.

Although the "anti-barbarian patriots" at the end of the Tokugawa period are portrayed as great and upright under the exaggeration of some literary and artistic works in the island country, the "anti-barbarian patriots" in real history are a very disgusting group. They are either opportunists or

They just want to use the slogan of "rejecting the foreigners" to commit murder.
