Only vaguely, I heard Okita Hikaru seeming to be talking.

Ever since Okita Hikaru temporarily stayed in Edo to take care of the sick Souji, there were two Okitas in the Imperial Guard Hall.

For the sake of convenience, with Okita Hikaru's acquiescence, all members of the trial academy, including Aoto, called Okita Hikaru "Ms. Hikari".

"Nothing said."

When Okita Hikaru said this, the regret gathering in the center of his eyebrows instantly dissipated.

"I'm just complaining that Xiaosi's wine quality is really bad."

After casually brushing off Aoto's questions, Okita walked barefoot to the sleeping Souji.

"Xiao Si. Wake up, wake up."

Since there were no outsiders around, Okita Hikaru changed her real nickname for Souji: Koji.

"Hmm...?"

Souji reacted to Okita Hikaru's voice and opened his eyes again.

She glanced at both sides innocently, then her gaze took a detour and caught Okita Hikaru's face.

"Sister...? Why do you keep shaking? Stop shaking, you look so dizzy..."

Okita Hikaru calmly stretched out his hand to support Souji, and said softly in a soothing tone like a child:

"If you feel dizzy, go back to your room and sleep quickly. Come on, give me your hand."

"Um...I don't want it!"

Souji twisted his body in a playful manner, trying to break away from Okita Hikaru's control.

"I still want to play...! I still want to drink...!"

"Be good, be obedient, and wait until you've had enough sleep in bed before you go play or drink. Stop making such nonsense. If you keep making trouble like this, I'm going to get angry."

She is indeed the eldest sister who has nurtured Souji. For Souji who is currently in a state of confusion, Okita Hikaru's warning is far more effective than Ayoto's persuasion.

As soon as Okita Hikaru finished speaking, Souji gradually calmed down as if he was under a spell...but soon became agitated again.

"I don't want it! I don't want it! Let me play a little longer!"

Souji threw himself into Hikari Okita's arms like a baby, burying his face deeply into the gap between the other's southern hemisphere and the kimono belt.

Blatantly ignoring her warning——Okita Hikaru acted very calmly towards Souji's behavior.

"..."

Okita Hikaru lowered his head silently, staring at the commander-in-chief's face as if nothing had happened.

The next moment, she sent out... cold words in a slow tone to the director:

"I want to play for a little longer...Xiao Si, let me confirm it for a moment - is this what you stand for?"

Okita Hikaru's expression did not change.

But the gentle tone disappeared.

Qingdeng, who was watching all this from a third-party perspective, clearly felt something called "critical point" at this moment.

It is about to reach the "critical point" of boiling point.

The "tipping point" that is approaching the limit of resistance to volcanic eruptions.

The magma was boiling gurglingly.

The director-general had a very violent reaction to Okita Hikaru's words.

As if it was an instinctive reaction, as if he had heard the most terrifying words in the world, Souji's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole in an instant.

"Ah wow, ah wow wow wow wow..."

Appeared - the signature cry of the Director-General.

When he feels shy or his mood swings wildly, Souji can't help but make an interesting cry of "ah wow wow" - this was accidentally discovered by Aoto when he discovered Souji's true gender.

Souji, who continued to scream like this, let go of Okita Hikaru's waist with trembling movements, and then slowly backed away on his hands and knees.

The limbs were trembling slightly.

Aggrieved face.

His eyes were dominated by intense fear.

While slowly opening the distance between you and your sister, carefully observe your sister's expression and reaction.

Weak, pitiful...but funny.

This scene made Qingden couldn't help but hallucinate this scene: a border collie with amazing aura and a shivering Shiba Inu.

Okita Hikaru did not change her indifferent expression, she stood up slowly:

"Xiao Si, let's go back to the room."

There was no tone of discussion.

There is also no discussion sentence structure.

Just giving orders.

This time, the director-general did not offer any resistance.

"yes……"

She pecked her head gently, and then half-lyed on the tatami like a surrendered prisoner of war, posing as if she would let Okita Hikaru deal with her. Although it seemed a bit unethical to do so, after seeing Souji's behavior

After putting on a funny look, Qingdeng thought it was funny and couldn't help but let out a chuckle that only he could hear.

"Tangerine-kun."

"Um?"

Qingdeng, who was suddenly called out, quickly suppressed the smile on his face and responded quickly.

"can you do me a favor?"

"Please say."

"Can you please help me carry Souji back to his room?"

"ah?"

"Despite Souji's appearance, she is actually quite heavy unexpectedly. It's late at night, and I'm a little tired. I don't have the energy to carry her anymore. Can you please give me a helping hand?"

"Uh...that's not a problem..."

Qingdeng had no reason to refuse such an easy and simple favor.

But...he has a question - Okita Hikaru looks very energetic, and he doesn't look tired at all...

…

Perhaps the drunkenness was rising again, so the director closed his eyes tightly and returned to unconsciousness.

Okita Hikaru tiptoed Souji, who had fallen asleep again, and gently placed him on Aoshito's back.

Qingden stretched out his hands, passed through Souji's legs, fixed Souji's body, and then raised his arms upward to confirm whether Souji was sitting firmly on his back.

It's winter now, so both Aomori and Souji are wearing thick clothes.

But even so, there is still a... wonderful touch that continuously penetrates the fabric and is transmitted to the skin of Qingden's back.

Even though the persimmons are compressed into persimmons, they are still persimmons.

Qingdeng's expression and limbs suddenly stiffened.

At this moment, Qingteng was forced to recall the unforgettable scenes of the last time he betrayed Souji...

This memory is still close to the inside of my scalp, and I can’t forget it even if I want to.

The last time I carried him back to the General Director - this goes back to one night this summer.

That night, Qingteng made many firsts while discovering Souji's true gender.

This is the first time I have to go back to the chief executive.

Taking a shower with the opposite sex for the first time.

For the first time, it was not through audio and video, but with my own naked eyes that I actually saw the body of the opposite sex.

It was the first time I caught a persimmon close to flesh.

These memories are rolling wildly in my mind.

Even the skin on the back and palms relived the incomparable and beautiful touch that is difficult to describe to outsiders.

At this time, the memory was interrupted by a rhetorical question that suddenly intervened in my thoughts:

"Huh? Mr. Tachibana, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly become stunned?"

Okita Hikaru stood beside Qingteng and blinked at Qingteng with a puzzled look on his face.

Qingdeng, who came back to his senses due to the interruption of his memories, quickly said haha:
To be continued...
