To prevent Kimura from losing control of his emotions and throwing himself at Mizushima.

Although Hosaka stared at Mizushima with wide eyes like Kimura, he did not dare to shout angrily at Mizushima like Kimura did. There was always a hint of fear hidden in his eyes when he looked at Mizushima.

Just when Mizushima and Kimura seemed to be about to fight at any moment, two crisp claps suddenly sounded.

"Okay, okay! Let's just leave this topic behind. Don't let this trivial matter break the friendship!"

A strong man with a strong build and a kind face walked slowly between Kimura and Mizushima with a smile.

This person is none other than the captain of the second division of the Huoshu Thief Kai: Kanazawa Chusuke.

"Kurosawa-sama and Okubo-sama will be here in a while, so everyone please calm down."

"If you two adults see you arguing here, and even almost starting a fight, you will definitely get nothing good."

"Tch...!" Kimura smacked his lips vigorously, then looked away, no longer looking at Mizushima, out of sight, out of mind - but before looking away, he "reluctantly" said again

He glared at Mizushima several times.

Mizushima also put on an attitude of "I'm too lazy to argue with you idiots anymore". He closed his eyes and began to rest with his eyes closed.

The crisis of internal fighting was eliminated by Kanazawa's mediation.

At this time, two footsteps came between them.

The sound came from the corridor outside.

The eyes of everyone in the hall reflexively glanced towards the door.

Wow...

The plainly painted hall door was roughly opened.

The ones who opened the door were Qingdeng and my grandson who finally arrived at the meeting room.

…

…

——These people... are the division captains who were changed by Huo Fu Thieves...

The moment my grandson, who was leading the way, opened the door to the meeting room, Qingdeng cast his glance into the hall.

What came into view was one unfamiliar face after another - except Mizushima, the captain of the fourth division.

From another perspective, Qingto and Mizushima are particularly destined.

Before he was transferred to the Huofu Thief Reform, Aoto had already met Mizushima twice.

The first time was the night when Aonto assisted Kinoshita Mai for the first time as the "Fox Monk".

After successfully getting rid of the gang of scum who were obsessed with killing people, they unexpectedly met Nishino, the "ace of the investigation" of the North Division, as well as Mizushima and his fourth division.

Qingdeng still vividly remembers the scenes at that time.

He and Kinoshita Mai tried so hard, even escaping into a Western settlement where the houses were magnificent and convenient for hiding, and finally managed to get rid of Mizushima, Nishino and the others.

As for the second meeting, it was not long ago - when Seito and the anti-barbarian group started a decisive battle in the Western settlement, the first reinforcements to arrive were Mizushima and his fourth division.

Although he and Mizushima had a "two-way relationship", Qingto was not familiar with Mizushima and had never even spoken to him.

Qingto's understanding of Mizushima was limited to the various rumors he heard in daily life. He only knew that Mizushima was a very capable person.

Speaking of Mizushima... this reminded Qingto of a recent incident.

One morning about a month ago, when Qingteng was practicing swordsmanship in the dojo of the Trial Guard Hall, he heard this anecdote from a pair of juniors who were chatting: The current Huofu Thief Kai has

One dragon, one tiger and one dog!

Long - the "genius detective" who has solved countless serious, important and unsolved cases, my grandson Chutaro, the captain of the first team.

Tiger - Mizushima Rensaburo, the captain of the fourth division who has an upright personality and never shows mercy to criminals. He is good at swordsmanship and leading troops and dares to fight and charge.

Inu——He has an old-fashioned and kind personality, and he is very humane when investigating cases, so he is very popular among the people. Although his literary skills are not as good as my grandson's, and his martial arts are not as good as Mizushima Rensaburo, he is better than the captain of the second division, Kanazawa Chusuke, who has no obvious shortcomings.

Although the word "dog" has a derogatory connotation in many contexts, the nickname owned by Kanazawa Chusuke means "Kung Fu Dog" and is a real good name.

To put it simply - among the current fire thieves, the above three people are the most capable and have the most "armed force commander" demeanor.

"Good morning everyone~~"

My grandson smiled broadly and moved half a step sideways so that everyone in the hall could see Qingdeng's face more clearly.

"Although you have probably guessed who the person behind me is, the necessary personal introduction is still indispensable~~"

"Allow me to solemnly introduce to you - this is the new captain of the third division who will be with us in the future: Tachibana Aoden~~"

As soon as my grandson finished speaking, Qingdeng stood half a step forward, holding his head high and chest high:

"This is the first time we meet! I'm Tachibana Aoden, please give me your advice in the future!"

After shouting, Qingdeng bent down and bowed to the people in front of him in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

As soon as Aoto introduced himself, everyone in the meeting room...including Kimura and Kawasaka, who were hostile to Aoto, couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Aoto.

There is no other reason for this - Qingdeng's voice is very attractive.

Clear, loud, and full of magnetism.

It's a beautiful voice that even men can't help but be attracted to.

At this time, my grandson tilted his head and cast a doubtful glance at Qingdeng.

"Huh? Mr. Tachibana, I just realized now...has your voice become clearer? I remember your voice before, it seemed to be deeper."

"Ah hahaha." Qingdeng smiled and shrugged, "Maybe you heard me wrong, my voice always sounds like this."

"Yeah……?"

There was a suspicious light in my grandson's eyes.

Fortunately he did not delve deeper into this issue.

After glancing at Qingdeng again, he looked away.

When Qingdeng saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

——Phew...very good...successfully fooled...

In fact, my grandson heard it right - Qingdeng's voice did become clearer and more pleasant to the ear.

Qingdeng's timbre and voice are now affected by 4 kinds of talents.

"Tongue Strengthening" strengthens the strength and dexterity of the tongue, making Qingdeng's speech clearer.

The "golden voice" that improves the durability of vocal cords makes Qingdeng's vocal cords less likely to be strained.

The "cloud-piercing stone" has the effect of "making a much louder sound than ordinary people", making Qingdeng's voice even louder.

Finally... the new talent Qingdeng copied from "Challenger" a while ago: "Ying Cry", makes Qingdeng's tone more magnetic and clearer.

[Yingwei: The sound is more beautiful and attractive]

Repeatedly lingering and practicing in the five places of Shiweikan, Chishiya, Little Chiba Sword Hall, Western Residence, and Tsukinomiya Shrine—this is not all Aonto's life in these two months!

From September to now, Qingdeng’s “Personal Talent List” has added new words!

Qingdeng successfully copied a new talent from a guy who looked a bit effeminate - "Yingwei".

At the same time, talent fusion was successfully carried out three times!

Qingden's "Eagle Eye", "Bear's Waist", and "Physical Body" have now all become "Eagle Eye +1", "Bear's Waist +1" and "Physical Body +1"!
