10: she's not a threat

Hijikata: yorui, would you like to go to a Matsuri with me?

Yorui: matsuri? (festival)

Hijikata: um. One's coming up.

Yorui: but I'm busy. Especially on matsuri days. They're good days to kill people.

Hijikata: you have other people to do it.

Yorui: that's rare of you to want something.

Hijikata:.... It's not fair if you always sacrifice isn't it?

She hugs him " okay desu. Nine o clock?"

Hijikata: almost everything will be over then.

Yorui: I have a job. Plus... Isn't that better? I don't like crowds.

Hijikata: alright then. Neh... Anything you like?

Yorui: hm? What do you mean?

Hijikata: I barely know what you like.

" chocolate. " she kissed him and passes him some she was biting. " yummy neh? " He blushes "... Um. You naughty. "

Yorui: ja... See you later.

Mitsuba: I'm leaving now.

Yorui tugs on his sleeves " Toshiro... Please... Look at me... Only look at me... Only love me... Please... " her tears fall as she clenches his sleeves " please... " she looks to his eyes " love me... "

He pats her head " you don't have to be threatened by her. Ai...shteru. " he blushes a little. Her eyes widens and hugs him " I never thought you would say that. " she dry her tears.

Hijikata: don't make a big deal out of it.
