Chapter 228: The Correct Way to Use Seiyuu Memes...
At night, at the dock of Edo.
Toshiro and Yamazaki, who were wearing Shinsengumi uniforms, stood on the shore and looked at the two Yakatabune not far away. The rain was very heavy, but neither of them held an umbrella.
(TL note: A yakatabune is a kind of privately owned Japanese boat that has been in use since the Heian period. Inside, a yakatabune has tatami mats and Japanese low tables that resemble an upper-class Japanese home; in fact, it means "home-style boat" and was basically for entertaining guests in the old days.)
"The hospital contacted." Yamazaki lowered his head and carefully glanced at Toshiro beside him, "They said that Miss Mitsuba's illness suddenly worsened, and the situation is very dangerous. The hospital said that... the family should be mentally prepared. Deputy Chief... please go and see Miss Mitsuba. This is not the time to work, right? Moreover... the person we want to catch is Miss Mitsuba's fiance..."
As he spoke, a trace of reluctance appeared on Yamazaki's face, "I always feel that it's a little too cruel. Please consider the feelings of Miss Mitsuba and Captain Okita a little! I don't think that Deputy Chief's choice is wrong. Let those guys be, and those weapons will sooner or later kill our companions. However... what should be done now is not this kind of thing, right? Hijikata-san, this is not a place you should stay!"
"It really is. This kind of rainy day is indeed not suitable for smoking outside. No matter how many times I light it, it will be wet and extinguished..." Toshiro threw the wet cigarette in his hand on the ground in disdain, then turned around with his hand in his pocket, "Also, are you trying to say that I am a heartless person? It is not like that..."
Toshiro's expression became a little ferocious, "There is a husband here. His wife is dying, but he is still busy doing business in this place?"
"Hijikata-san..."
"Yamazaki, you haven't told anyone about this, have you?"
"Ye... yes!"
"Only you and I know about this, right?"
"Yes..."
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you to continue keeping this a secret." As he spoke, Toshiro walked forward without looking back.
"Deputy Chief, do you want to be alone..."
...
In the hospital, outside the emergency room.
Kawaki, Gintoki, and the others were watching the doctor rescue Mitsuba through the sterile glass window. Mitsuba's face was full of pain.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and everyone turned to look. It was the anxious Sogo and Kondo who arrived.
"You..." Kagura pointed at the bandage on Sogo's face and was about to say something, but Kawaki stopped her.
Kawaki patted Sogo, who was anxiously looking at Mitsuba in the emergency room with the group of doctors, without saying anything. He turned around and walked straight to the corridor. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
"Little uncle..." Looking at Kawaki's back, Kagura murmured.
...
In the latter half of the night, after a few hours of emergency treatment, Mitsuba's life was temporarily saved, but according to the doctor, it was only temporary. In the next moment, the patient could die at any time.
Hearing this, Sogo almost pulled out his sword but was stopped by Kondo. After that, Sogo stood outside the glass window and stared at Mitsuba, who was lying on the bed, without moving a step.
"Sogo, it's about time for you to rest." Kondo stood behind Sogo and said, "You haven't slept since yesterday, have you? Why don't you change shifts with me? Anyway, I have already slept just now."
Hearing this, Sogo turned around. He did not speak but stared at the deep dark circles on Kondo's face.
