Chapter 770 Heading to Osaka! Souji's Daughter's Identity Revealed! [4500]

Kyoto, Mibu-go, the Shinsengumi's headquarters, the meeting hall -

In the meeting room, Qing Deng and the Shinsengumi generals gathered together.

However, there was one person missing - Souji was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone present was sitting upright, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, the general manager's voice came from the back hall:
"Um... I've changed my clothes..."

Her tone was weak, and there was a hint of shyness in her words.

Qingden smiled:
"Now that you've changed your clothes, come out quickly."

"..."

The chief remained silent and did not reply.

Instead, there were slow, light footsteps approaching from afar.

In a moment, a petite figure came into everyone's sight.

After walking out of the back hall, Souji stood timidly beside Qing Deng, with his hands folded in front of him and his fingers nervously twisted together.

She was no longer dressed in men's clothes as usual, but was wearing a lavender women's kimono with a wide black belt around her waist.

Her hairstyle has not changed. She still has that high, short ponytail tied behind her head, which gives her a lively look.

It's weird, she just changed her clothes, but she gave people a completely different feeling, from a handsome young man to a charming young girl.

Of course, compared to her clothes, the most obvious change in her is her figure.

Looking back at the past, in order to hide the most important features of women, thick breast wraps were always used to create a strict "seal".

And now, the "seal" has been removed...even the loose kimono can't hide the considerable size and height!
With the appearance of the "female version of Souji"... ah, no, correction. With the appearance of the "real Souji", the whole audience was shocked.

At that moment, except for a very few people such as Aoto, Hijikata Toshizo, and Kondo Isami, the rest of the people looked at Souji in disbelief.

Harada Sanosuke: "This... this... is really a girl...!"

Nagakura Shinpachi: "I'm so ashamed... For all these years, I didn't realize that Okita-kun was a girl..."

Serizawa Duck: "It's fine for me as an outsider! How come even you fellow disciples don't know that she is a woman?"

Fujido Heisuke: "If you think about it carefully... there are clues! Okita-kun never takes a bath with us!"

Saito Ichi: “We are too stupid.”

Under the gaze of everyone, Souji showed a very rare shy expression, with blushing cheeks.

She has been playing the role of a man for so long that she is no longer used to presenting herself as a woman.

At this time, Qing Deng said loudly:
"As you can see!"

"Okita Souji is a girl. Her original name is 'Okita Tsukasa'."

"She disguised herself as a man in order to practice swordplay."

"The custom of women dressing as men has been passed down."

(So ​​don’t say I’m a person of the general public anymore!)——Qing Deng tried his best to hold back and finally didn’t say the second half of the sentence.

As the general commander of the Shinsengumi, Qing Deng had naturally received relevant rumors a long time ago: because he was very close to Souji, many people suspected that the two of them were members of the Shudo sect.

Qing Deng really had no words to express his pain about this.

As a die-hard straight man, he dislikes the title of "conservative person" from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, he was finally able to vent all his grievances - Souji is a girl! I don't play tricks!
As soon as Qing Deng finished speaking, Shannan Jingzhu said:

"Okita-kun... er, no, Ms. Okita, since your original name is 'Okita Tsukasa', should we change it from now on?"

After hearing this, Zongsi waved his hand quickly:
"No need! This is very troublesome!"

"Although 'Okita Souji' is a pseudonym, I've gotten used to it over the years."

"I am both Okita Tsukasa and Okita Souji."

"So everyone should just continue as usual, no need to change your words!"

After a brief moment of shock, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became harmonious and peaceful.

Although we experienced the farce of "working together for twelve years but still not knowing Mulan was a girl", but... so what?
In the eyes of her fellow students such as Nagakura Shinpachi and Saito Ichi, she is still the gentle and considerate Souji.

Sanako's crazy behavior on the No. 1 training ground was just yesterday.

It has to be said that what she did did have a profound impact.

Whether it was Aoto, Souji or Kinoshita Mai, she put them all on the fire.

Now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.

Souji probably never imagined that the secret he had hidden for most of his life would be exposed in this way... This is probably what they call fate!
Qing Deng had no idea what Souji, Mai Kinoshita and others were thinking.

Anyway, this is just perfect for him!
Everything happened just as Boss Kiryu had predicted, and Sanako became the "person who broke the impasse".

If we waste this rare and good opportunity, it would be like "if you don't take what heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences"!

Sanako had summoned up her courage.

Now, it's his turn to show his courage!

So Qing Deng took the opportunity to announce to the public: Sanako was right! I want to marry all three of them! All three of them are my principal wives! No concubines!

The meeting held today is mainly to achieve two purposes.

Firstly, it allows everyone to see Souji's "true identity" with their own eyes and eliminate everyone's confusion about "marrying Souji as a wife".

Secondly, it is to announce his next course of action.

After instructing Souji to sit back in her seat, Qing Deng changed his tone to a serious one:
"Next, I'm going to Osaka."

He briefly informed everyone of his economic plan of "finding partners and attracting investment".

After finishing speaking, Kondo Isami frowned slightly:

"...Tachibana-kun, is this possible? Merchants in Osaka are notoriously profit-driven."

Qingdeng smiled slightly:
"It is precisely because the merchants in Osaka are profit-driven that there is a greater hope of closing a deal. Toshizo, Isamu, Keisuke, while I am in Osaka, I will leave the Shinsengumi and the Hinatsu clan in your care."

Hijikata Toshizo, Kondo Isami and Yamanami Keisuke all prostrated themselves in response.

In fact, Qing Deng didn’t say one thing—this trip to Osaka was not only to discuss business, but also to “talk about feelings.”

Qing Deng knew it very well.

The biggest obstacle to his grand plan of "three principal wives" is Kinoshita Mai's family...

……

……

Edo, Xiao Chiba Sword Hall——

In the middle of the day, the sudden sound of noisy footsteps suddenly broke the silence inside and outside the sword hall.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Two important members of the Chiba family - Chiba Dosaburo and Chiba Tamon Shiro - rushed into the dojo in a hurry to find Chiba Sadakichi.

Looking at the two people who suddenly came to visit, Chiba Sadakichi raised his eyebrows:

"Hmm? Sanlang, Silang, why are you here?"

Coincidentally, at this moment, Chiba Shigetaro was right next to Chiba Sadakichi.

The sudden appearance of his cousins ​​and their gloomy looks... Faced with all these signs, Chiba Shigetaro immediately realized something and gradually revealed a guilty expression.

Chiba Tamon Shiro gritted his teeth and cast a dissatisfied look at Chiba Shigetaro:

"Brother Chong! My uncle rarely goes out, so it's fine if he doesn't know about this, but how come you don't know about it either?"

"I...I...I..."

Chiba Shigetaro kept saying "I" for a long time.

After a while, he said weakly:
"I just found out about this... I don't know how to tell my father..."

Chiba Sadakichi gradually became impatient with the strange words of his son and nephews:
"Stop playing dumb! Just say what you want to say! What happened?"

Chiba Michisaburo sighed softly:

"Uncle, Tachibana-kun is getting married. This news has been published in the Edo tabloids this morning and has spread like wildfire."

Chiba Sadakichi was startled at first when he heard this, but then he showed joy:

"I see... Tachibana-kun is going to marry Sanako, this is a good thing!" As soon as Chiba Sadakichi finished speaking, Chiba Michisaburo and Chiba Tamon Shiro subconsciously looked at each other - they communicated silently with their eyes:
(Third brother, you go ahead and say it.)
(Huh?! Why do I have to say that?)

(Since you are the elder brother, it is most appropriate for you to say this.)
Just like that, after the "communication" was completed, Chiba Michisaburo cleared his throat vigorously.

"Uncle, listen to me, Tachibana-kun is indeed going to marry Sanako, but... but... Oh, forget it, uncle, just wait and see..."

After saying that, he took out a tile-board tabloid from his arms and handed it carefully to Chiba Sadakichi.

Chiba Sadakichi took it in confusion, spread it out, and read ten lines quickly.

After a while, his expression was dominated by intense shock, and his eyes were as big as copper bells:
"……Aha?!"

……

……

Edo, Koishikawa Kohinata Yanagi Town, Test Guard Hall——

"嚯嚯嚯嚯嚯~"

Kondo Shusuke carefully read the latest tabloid he had just bought, stroking his smooth chin and occasionally making his signature "ho ho ho" laugh.

Souji's sister, Okita Hikaru, sat next to Kondo Shusuke and read the newspaper with him.

After reading it, she stroked her forehead with her hand, with a complex expression on her face, not sure whether it was helplessness or relief.

"That guy... actually put the 'three principal wives' plan into practice..."

At the same time, Kondo Shusuke put down the tabloid in his hand and smiled happily:
"Hohohohoho~ Xiao Si is a good boy. It is so lucky for Ju Jun to have such a wife!"

A Bi, who was sitting not far away, gave him a displeased look.

"Why? From your tone, you seem to be very envious of Ju-kun?"

As soon as Abi finished speaking, Kondo Shusuke suddenly straightened his back with a righteous look on his face:
"Ma'am, you are joking! How could I possibly envy Ju Jun? My wife is the best woman in the world! It's almost as if Ju Jun envies me instead!"

Ah Bi rolled his eyes and muttered half in dissatisfaction and half in delight:
"Humph, I really hope you can speak so beautifully in your daily life..."

After coaxing Abi skillfully, Kondo Shusuke got back to the point:
"Madam, Xiaoguang, we should prepare for the long journey next."

"It won't be long before we go to Otsu to attend Tachibana-kun's wedding... ah, no, it should be called 'Qinjin Domain' now."

At this point, he seemed to have thought of something, and after a little thought, he turned to A Bi and said:

"Madam, when I have some free time, let's go to the kimono shop together. Hohohohoho~~ Now we can finally give Xiao Si some nice clothes openly."

A Bi nodded gently:

"What a coincidence. When I passed by the kimono shop in Nihonbashi a few days ago, I happened to find several clothes that would be perfect for Xiao Si."

……

……

Edo, Edo Castle, Ooku——

Tokugawa Iemochi: “…”

Tianzhangyuan: "..."

The mother and son looked at each other in silence.

Just now, they received Qingdeng's marriage news at the same time.

The two men were considered well-informed, but even so, they could not help but be dumbfounded after seeing Qing Deng's feat of "marrying three wives".

The silence is only temporary.

After a while, Tian Zhangyuan murmured quietly:

"Sheng Qing has quite an appetite."

"Marrying three women at the same time...can he take care of them all?"

"But... this is fine."

"As the ruler of a country, getting married and having children as soon as possible will stabilize the morale of the army and the people, which will bring all kinds of benefits without any harm."

Tokugawa Iemochi nodded slightly in agreement - he kept his head down, as if he was thinking about something important.

Precisely because he buried his head, he did not notice at this moment: as soon as he finished speaking, Tian Zhangyuan turned his head and looked at the distant sky, with an intriguing emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Sheng Qing... is married..."

She muttered in a voice that only she could hear.

……

……

Kyoto, the home of the Komuki couple——

"…A-Machi, look! The 'wedding of Tachibana-kun and A-Mai' that you've been dreaming about is here, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Komugi Goro raised the tabloid in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Ating was immediately delighted.

She just flashed and ran up to him.

The next moment, Komugi Goro's palm was empty - the tabloid was already in her hand.

At this time, her face was still full of smiles.

But in a moment - the moment she finished reading the tabloid - the smile on her face froze.

"This this……"

She looked at her husband, then at the tabloid in her hand, her eyes flickering with disbelief.

After about 10 seconds, she turned her surprise into sound:
"Osaka should have received the corresponding news, right? I wonder how Xiaolin will respond to this..."

Komaki Goro smiled slightly:
"First of all - a thrilling battle is inevitable."

……

……

Osaka, Huluya, a quiet garden——

Kinoshita Rin sat upright on the veranda, facing the courtyard, gazing into the distance, leisurely savoring the fragrant tea in her hand, enjoying this quiet and peaceful time alone.

Suddenly, a male voice with no sadness or joy came from behind him:

"My Lord, there is an urgent message from Kyoto."

A middle-aged man of ordinary build and appearance walked out from the shadows in the corner of the corridor and knelt on one knee.

"The Lord of the Qinjin Domain, the Aki no Kami, and the Governor of the Capital Region, Tachibana Aonori, announced that he will be getting married soon."

Kinoshita Lin's expression suddenly changed.

She turned around and gave the middle-aged man a look as sharp as a knife.

"Wedding? Jiaqing, who is he going to marry?"

The middle-aged man called "Jiaqing" replied calmly:
"Captain of the 9th Division of the Shinsengumi Battōtai, Mai Kinoshita."

Hearing this name, Kinoshita Lin's expression became a little better.

However...when Jiaqing said the next sentence, her facial lines froze again.

"as well as……"

"as well as?!"

"Chiba Sanako, captain of the Shinsengumi Battōtai 7th Division. And..."

"besides?!"

"Captain of the Shinsengumi Battōtai 1st Division, Okita Souji. It is said that Okita Souji is actually a girl, and her original name is 'Okita Tsukasa'."

Having said this, Jiaqing paused.

His expression, which had been calm from a moment ago, underwent a subtle change at this moment - a strange color appeared on his cheeks.

After a while, he continued quietly:
"In addition, Tachibana Seiden also publicly declared that the three girls he was going to marry were all his principal wives, and there was no distinction between wives and concubines."

"……Aha?!"
