At this moment, Qingdeng felt an endless sense of crisis wrap around his body.
Chiba Jutaro, Chiba Tamonshiro, "the second generation head of the Beichen Itto-ryu clan" Chiba Michizaburo, "the strongest in Edo" Chiba Eijiro...not to mention four of them together, just one Chiba Ye Eijiro can make Qingden drink a pot.
If the four Chiba brothers get together and beat Qingteng violently... if Qingteng is beaten half to death instead of dying suddenly on the spot, that is the best result he can get!
As for Boss Kiryu, it's even more terrifying.
Aomori didn't recognize any of the Mogami, Katakura, and Toga that Boss Kiryu was talking about just now.
He speculated that these people should be goons from Calabash House.
Someone who can act as a thug for a large group like Calabash House... will definitely not be a simple small role.
It was obviously March when the temperature started to warm up, and the cherry blossoms would be in full bloom in a while, but at this moment Qingden felt a cold piercing his skin, as if he was in an ice cellar, and he couldn't help but shudder.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Okita Hikaru.
At least one parent's support must be obtained...he hoped in his heart.
Hikaru Okita has always presented herself as a gentle and gentle intellectual elder sister.
Miss Guang is a very gentle person! She might be willing to support me!
With this thought in mind, Qingto couldn't wait to turn his gaze to Okita Hikaru——
"Tsk...! I made a mistake... Xiao Si is not a kind person... Just plant Mr. Ju's body in my family's field... It happens that the family's field is a little short of fertilizer..."
It's even scarier here! I started thinking about how to prepare for the funeral and deal with the body!
Sweat broke out on Qingdeng's forehead.
Suddenly a gust of cold wind passed through the window and blew into the room, blowing away the sweat on Qingden's forehead and the heat around him.
If we don't find a way to remedy this...these three elders might really come over and hack him to death!
So, driven by the desire to survive, Qingden said haha:
"Everyone, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
"You don't have to say it anymore, we don't want to hear it anymore."
Okita Hikaru rolled his eyes at Aoden.
"Ju-kun, do you think we are three-year-old children? Do you think that if you say a few sweet words, we will be fascinated by you?"
Chiba Jutaro gritted his teeth.
"After listening to your monologue just now, we were moved to tears, and then we hurriedly said to you: 'Since you have mentioned this, we can rest assured, and the young master and the others will be entrusted to you. "You must make them happy - you are not expecting such a plot, are you?"
Boss Kiryu's expression and tone were devoid of any emotion, like a lifelike ice sculpture.
"You want to marry my Xiaosi, that's not a problem - but you can only marry my Xiaosi."
"You want to marry my Sanako, that's not a problem - but you can only marry my Sanako."
Okita Hikaru: "..."
Jutaro: "..."
After the two of them finished saying this in unison, they were both startled.
Then--
Okita Hikaru: "Huh?!"
Jutaro: "Huh?!"
They glanced at each other in unison.
Sir, what are you talking about? Jujun and Xiaosi live under the same roof. Not only are they close friends, but they are also brothers and sisters in the same discipline. They have a deep relationship. They are a match made in heaven. Don't get in the way!
ha? No matter how you look at this lady, Sanako and Tachibana-kun are the better match! I'm not going to talk about family background or talent, just talking about appearance - Mr. Tachibana is tall, and Sanako is also tall. They look so perfect together when they walk side by side! As for your Souji... people who don't know better would think that she and Tachibana-kun are siblings!
Ah! Don't look at how old your sister is. She is already 23 years old this year, and she is 4 years older than Jujun. I have seen many old cows eating young grass, but the old grass jumped into the young cow's mouth. It's really rare.
snort! Apart from being slightly older, my sister is not better than your sister in any way? What's wrong with being older? The older I get, the more feminine I look.
…
This is a direct confrontation between the two girls.
Although no one spoke, they just glared at each other fiercely, but their eyes had accurately conveyed their ideas and thoughts to each other.
An invisible, silent, and imageless fierce confrontation unfolded between them, with a strong smell of gunpowder floating in the air.
However, they are both smart people who understand the situation accurately.
They did not focus too much on infighting.
Soon, they turned their struggle to the real source of all evil.
"...Tangerine-kun."*2
Two sharp, spear-like gazes stabbed straight at Qingdeng in no particular order.
"You choose."*2
Again in unison.
"You want Xiao Si?"
Okita Hikaru's tone was calm, and his indifferent attitude contained a strong chill.
"Still want Sanako?"
Chiba Jutaro put his left hand on the saber on his waist.
Sudden multiple choice question of death!
In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be a difficult choice that is impossible to make.
But for Qingdeng... it's not a problem at all!
Is this a multiple-choice question?
There is no need to choose at all!
"all I want!"
Without thinking, he shouted loudly and full of awe-inspiring righteousness:
"I want to marry Sanako, Amu, and Souji! I want to bring them happiness with my own hands - even if I am cut into pieces, I will never give in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt pain in his left cheek.
"How many times are you going to say such shameful words?"
Sanako, whose face was dyed pink, seemed to be suppressing her shyness. She raised her eyes and glared at Qingden, and stretched out her hand to pull Qingden's left cheek.
It's so cute how she behaves like this...and it hurts at the same time.
Before Qingdeng had time to cry out the pain, he immediately felt a similar pain coming from his right cheek:
"Hey...Tachibana-kun...why do you always put my name after Chiba Sanako's name when you pronounce our names? Could it be that in your subconscious, my status is not as good as Chiba Sanako's? That one?"
Kinoshita Mai returned to the blackened state with lightless and colorless eyes.
Under the tugging of the two women, one from the left and the other from the right, Qingdeng's face was stretched by a full 1.5 times.
"Ahhh! Stop, stop! My face is going to be ripped off!"
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but the strength of the two women was so strong.
They did not pinch Qingdeng's face with their fingers, but tightly grasped Qingdeng's face with the tips of their nails... In this way, Qingdeng not only suffered the pain of being "pulled", but also suffered from the "sharp weapon" "The pain that penetrates the flesh.
Are they trying to kill me? The moment this thought came to his mind, Qingdeng glanced at the expressions of the two women in horror.
Vaguely, he seemed to find some resentment in their eyes...
"Tsk...! You guy...!"
The cold light in Okita Hikari's eyes almost condensed into ice slag.
"Hmph... Even if you are cut to pieces by a thousand knives, you still don't want to give in... You really dare to say that... Sure enough, we still have to call Brother Rong and the others over..."
Chiba Jutaro's right arm was slightly bent, and his right palm, which was sometimes loosely held, seemed to reach to his left waist at any time and draw the sword out of its sheath.
In the midst of this chaos, a soothing yet calm female voice sounded:
"Um...can I have an opinion?"
As the soft voice fell, the room suddenly became silent.
Immediately afterwards, everyone, including Qingto, focused their attention on the person who made the noise - the Souji.
"I am one of the proposed candidates, so I should also have a chance to speak, right?"
Before anyone could respond, the director straightened his back and coughed a few times.
Her behavior does not make people think it is exaggerated or artificial, it just makes people think it is interesting and cute.
"I'm not a eloquent person, so I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point."
"It is true that the behavior of 'marrying three main wives' is not in line with etiquette and law, but also goes against good folk customs."
"However--"
The director suddenly changed the subject.
As if she wanted to whet everyone's appetite, she didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, after thinking about it for a while, she slowly continued:
"Tachibana-kun is a person who is very good at breaking the rules and has created many miracles so far, isn't he?"
As soon as these words came out, Sanako, Kinoshita Mai, Chiba Jutaro... and even Aomori himself couldn't help but be stunned.
"To be fair, I can't say calmly, 'I don't mind that Mr. Tachibana marries another woman after marrying me.'"
"After all, I am also a normal person, I also have selfish motives, and I also feel aggrieved and jealous."
"But...my feelings for Tachibana-kun will never change."
At this time, Qingden felt a cold, comfortable touch on his right hand - Souji stretched out the catkin and put it into his big palm.
Souji's warmth spread into his palms and spread along his arms into Qingdeng's heart.
"No matter what, I want to be with Mr. Tachibana for a hundred years."
Having said this, Souji raised his eyes, looked at Boss Kiryu and Chiba Jutaro, and put on a serious tone.
"So please don't hit him or kill him."
"If Tachibana-kun is gone...to be honest, I don't know what I will do."
"Give Tachibana-kun a chance."
"Even if you can't accept him at the moment, it doesn't matter. Just give him a chance to grow up and impress us."
"Given time, he might really be able to possess the strength that even if he marries three or even more wives, no one would dare to comment on it, and the parents of the woman would hardly have any objections."
With that said, the Souji put on a peaceful yet slightly shy smile.
"Actually, I'm also looking forward to it."
"I look forward to Tachibana-kun being able to create another miracle - a miracle in which I, Okita Tsukasa, am involved."
"Sanako, Miss Kinoshita, what do you think?"
The two women who were suddenly called by their name first looked stunned, and then turned around and looked around as if they couldn't calm down.
"I...I...I...I..."
Kinoshita danced "I" for a long time, but couldn't say a word with specific meaning.
Seeing this, the General Secretary smiled slightly:
"Miss Kinoshita, do you hate Tachibana-kun?"
Before the Souji finished speaking, Kinoshita Mai immediately said:
"Of course I don't hate it!"
"Since you don't hate it, it shouldn't be difficult to answer my question, right?"
"Well……!"
Kinoshita Mai lowered her head with a blushing face, her eyes fixed on the tatami in front of her knees, and she repeatedly played with the fingers folded on her chest.
"I also...don't want to be separated from Qingdeng..."
Satisfied, Souji moved his gaze away from Kinoshita Mai and instead stared at Sanako.
"Sanako, what about you? Do you like Tachibana-kun? Do you want to separate from Tachibana-kun?"
"..."
Sanako didn't respond, but slowly closed her eyes and looked away - it was not yet the time for cherry blossoms to bloom, but there were already a handful of "cherry blossoms" in full bloom in Qingto's ward.
Sanako's face is so pink, so gorgeously pink that it makes all the cherry blossoms in the world eclipse.
Her actions and expressions were equivalent to a slight nod in response to the Director General's question.
Seeing that Sanako was also dragged onto the pirate ship, Souji immediately looked at the parents with a smile.
"As the proposed candidates, we have reached a mutual agreement - now it's your turn. Sister, what do you think?"
Okita Hikaru pursed his lips.
Chiba Jutaro touched his forehead with his hand.
Boss Kiryu had a complicated expression.
After a while, a certain girl was the first to raise the "white flag".
"Oh...what are these things..."
Okita Hikaru said "Oh" and sighed heavily.
With Okita Hikaru taking the lead, the will of the remaining two parents was inevitably shaken.
"..."
Chiba Jutaro shook off his right palm that was almost pressed to the handle of the knife.
Although he didn't say a word, the murderous aura on his body had dissipated.
Kiryu looked tired. While showing a wry smile, he murmured at a volume that only he could hear clearly:
"Ahh...! You have really caused me a lot of trouble...! How should I explain to the lord in the future...!"
In just ten minutes, Qingdeng experienced the ups and downs of his life.
The so-called "from hell to heaven" is nothing more than this.
Although his parents still do not accept him and still scorn his ideal of "building a big family", at least judging from the current situation, his life is not in danger for the time being.
Qingto swept his gaze, scanning the faces of Souji, Mai Kinoshita, and Sanako one by one.
Gradually, his cheeks relaxed unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth also relaxed.
In this way, he smiled and enjoyed this reassuring time.
Suddenly, he felt blissful in his heart - he opened his arms like a bird.
Amidst the exclamations, he took all three girls in front of him into his arms.
You can feel it on your skin and smell three aromas of spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums on your nose.
In the days to come, there will be another hope and a goal to work towards.
Even if it was just for the three girls in his arms, he would have to fight hard, live hard, fight against the revenge that the Punisher Party would launch at some point, and fight... the fierce battle that would follow!
At this thought, Qingdeng felt a powerful force surge in his heart.
"Xiao Si, why don't you think about it a little more? Don't waste your life!"
"No! As expected, we still have to call Brother Rong and the others over!"
"Ah ah... I really have a headache..."
There was a happy atmosphere inside and outside the ward.
…
…
10 days later——
In the first year of Wenjiu (1861), early morning on March 22nd——
Edo, Chishiya——
Wow... Qingdeng pushed open the shop door with ease.
As soon as Fang entered the door, he saw Boss Kiryu sitting behind the counter, writing something.
"Boss Kiryu, good morning."
"Well, good morning."
Kiryu put down the brush in his hand and responded with a smile.
After the two of them finished their simple greetings, Qingdeng turned his head and glanced around him.
"Boss Kiryu, where is Awu?"
"She went shopping with Makimura."
"Mr. Makimura is here too?"
"Well, he will stay in Edo for a while before leaving."
"So...Boss Kiryu, what exactly do you want to teach me?"
Five days ago, Qingdeng was discharged from the hospital successfully.
Yesterday, Kiryu suddenly came to Qingden and said: Tachibana-kun, come to Qianshiya tomorrow and I will teach you something very powerful.
Qingdeng asked on the spot what it was.
Kiryu smiled meaningfully and replied: "You will know when you come tomorrow."
At this moment, Kiryu showed that meaningful smile again.
"Tangerine-kun, come with me."
Qingden obeyed and followed closely behind Kiryu.
"Ji Jun, do you follow the lung strength training method I taught you before every day?"
Qingdeng nodded:
"Yes. I do it every day and never slack off."
On the day when I became a disciple of Kiryu more than half a year ago, Kiryu taught Aoto a set of methods that can effectively exercise lung capacity, and specifically told Aoto: This "lung strength training method" must be done at least once every day, and keep exercising. Lung power must not be slack for a day.
Although Qingto didn't know why, he still obeyed Kiryu's instructions and insisted on doing this "lung strength training method" every day, and he never slacked off.
"Tachibana-kun, take a deep breath now until your lungs are full."
"ah?"
"hurry up."
At the urging of Kiryu's boss, Aomori breathed in hard with a "ha" sound.
The air flow went straight into his mouth and belly like a storm.
With never slacking off daily exercise, coupled with the blessing of the talent "Iron Lung +2", Qingden's vital capacity has already reached a quite terrifying value.
"Well, not bad. This level of lung power... should be enough."
"Boss Kiryu, why are you suddenly checking my lung strength?"
"Hehehe... you'll find out later."
With that said, the two came to the courtyard of Qianshiwu.
"Tachibana-kun, continue."
Kiryu took out two bamboo swords from nowhere, keeping one in his hand and throwing the other to Aomori.
"Boss Kiryu, are you... trying to teach me new sword skills?"
"Junior Orange, have you ever been slashed by the 'Sword of Selflessness'?"
"Huh? What... hmm?!"
Between the lightning and flint, the white Xiange quickly zoomed in Qingdeng's field of vision!
[Note·Xiange: The tip of the bamboo sword. 】
Bang - a sound. Qingdeng was knocked away.
While he was free-falling in the air, he saw boss Kiryu's eyes shining with a beautiful light.
*******

Asking for a monthly ticket! Please vote for recommendation! (Leopard head crying.jpg)
Of course Qingdeng couldn't survive the disaster so easily~~
The characters of the three girls are very consistent with the environment in which they grew up. Sanako and Mai Kinoshita are both eldest ladies from famous families. They have lived a comfortable and well-protected life since childhood, so they occasionally get angry. Souji, who has lived a hard life since childhood, is actually the most mature and emotionally stable among them.
