The atmosphere between Aoten and Okita suddenly became particularly quiet...

My head was blank.

It was like someone holding an iron stick and thumping on the back of his head.

It was not until unknown how long that Qingdeng finally felt his consciousness return to his body.

“…You count 9 plus 23 as 107…?”

"Well... I can't calculate the formula that sums up more than 10 fingers..." Okita raised his hand and played with the ponytail on the back of his head, while smiling, "As long as it's a formula that can't count my fingers, I can easily calculate it wrong..."

"But as long as the formula that my fingers can count, I can calculate it very accurately!"

Okita continued in a hurry as if he wanted to prove that his arithmetic was not bad.

"For example, 4 plus 2 or something."

Otsuda raised 4 fingers with his right hand and 2 fingers with his left hand.

"I can calculate the formula like this in ten or ten!"

“4 plus 2 equals 6!”

After saying that, Okina seemed to want to seek credit like Qingdeng, and pushed the six fingers he raised to Qingdeng's face.

Aoden, who had no expression on his face, raised his eyes and smiled, as if he wanted to say that his arithmetic level was not too bad...

Although this child has a very high talent in swordsmanship... but he seems to be not very smart in other places!

Qingdeng didn't know what expression to show now, and what should I say to Okita who looked proud of himself...

Just when Qingdeng was struggling—

"Hey! Qilang! I've been waiting for you for a long time! Why are you here now?"

Qingdeng and Okita suddenly heard a loud shout from the table next to Okita - the three uncles dressed in carpenters sitting around this table waved their hands hard to a middle-aged man with a beard who had just entered the tea house.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time! I just went to watch the fun!" The bearded middle-aged man sat next to his three friends in a loud voice.

"Hiki? What's lively?" asked a bearded friend.

Bearded: "Someone in Muliu Town next door was killed! It is said that he died so miserably! I wanted to join in the fun at the place where the body was found, but when I got there, the scene was sealed up by my own people and I could not see anything!"
