——If I gnaw on the grilled squid, won’t the sophisticated image that I managed to build up be completely ruined?

Aoto blinked, thinking about what kind of appropriate words to use to reject Harada Sanosuke's kindness.

At this time, Souji, who was standing next to Aoto, raised his little head, looked at Aoto's face, and then looked at the grilled squid in Harada Sanono's assistant.

For a moment, she had a look of realization on her face.

"Harada-kun, the battle is about to begin. Tachibana-kun is concentrating. It's better not to disturb him yet. Save one of the grilled squid for me."

After saying that, the general manager moved half a step to the side and stood behind Qingdeng.

The general manager, who was always smiling, showed a very rare and solemn face at this moment.

Not only did his expression become serious, but even his tone of voice became serious.

Harada Sanosuke was stunned on the spot when he saw this:

"Okita-kun, why are you so pretentious in your speech?"

Although he didn't understand why, he still walked away obediently while nibbling on the grilled squid.

After watching Harada Sanosuke leave, Souji slightly bent his body, waist and knees into a certain arc. His whole figure looked like a spring that could jump up at any time.

At the same time, she placed her right hand lightly on the saber at her waist, and her eyes scanned everywhere in her sight like arrows.

With this posture, he seemed to be acting as Qingdeng's bodyguard, guarding the surroundings for him.

Qingden glanced at his body from the corner of his eye.

He saw through the DG's intentions right away.

After discovering that Souji acted with him very politely, I couldn't help but smile in my heart.

——Xiao Si is indeed my little cotton-padded jacket!

A warrior standing with a sword and looking at the sky; a bodyguard who does his duty... Thanks to Souji's joining, Aomori's prowess has reached a new level!

At this time, Toshizo Hijikata, who was standing not far away and had a clear view of what Aoto and Souji were doing, frowned suddenly, turned his head to the side, and asked Isamu Kondo next to him:

"What the hell are these two idiots doing?"

Isamu Kondo smiled bitterly:

"Let them be."

…

…

After nearly 10 minutes passed, Qingto finally arrived at his opponent's dojo.

"Tangerine-kun."

The Souji, who was completely entranced by the drama, put on a deep tone and said seriously:

"People from the Chiba family are here!"

Qingdeng nodded gently without saying a word, and then turned around slowly.

When his eyes turned to the rear, he immediately froze on the spot.

Chiba Sadayoshi, Chiba Michisaburo, Chiba Tamonshiro, Chiba Jutaro, Chiba Sanako... All members of the Chiba family formed a flying goose formation, separated the crowd, and strode into the duel venue.

The person walking in the middle of this pile of Chiba is naturally Aonto's challenger today - Chiba Eijiro.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if the other party did it on purpose... I saw that Eijiro Chiba’s appearance was also extraordinary!

He just happened to be wearing a light blue haori that was completely opposite to Aoden's haori.

Clothes made of Sendai plain fabric, neat and well-groomed hair, and an aura full of oppression...

On the back of the haori, the sleeves and both sides of the chest are embroidered with the Chiba family's family crest - the star and moon pattern - a slender crescent moon with a round star sandwiched between the two tips.

.Family pattern full of style.

When Qingdeng saw this, he couldn't help but feel happy:

——Fortunately, I am also dressed handsomely today...

Thinking of this, he subconsciously lowered his gaze and glanced at the haori hakama on his body.

If the opponent is dressed handsomely and formally, but your side is dressed casually, then your side's momentum will be weakened before the battle begins!

"Eijiro-kun!"

Qingdeng took the initiative and said loudly with a soft smile on his face:

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"Are you ready?"

Chiba Eijiro smiled slightly.

"Even if there are no war drums, the ringing of the formation bells, I should still be immersed in the situation and stand up for the battle!"

Qingden was stunned.

——Damn, what a cool line!

Qingdeng likes to show off in strange places - this was already covered implicitly in the previous article.

When he was learning "Liu Guang", after discovering that Kiryu's boss's "hand holding flower" and "backhand knife" techniques were very cool, Aoden secretly learned them on the spot and has been using them to this day.
