Chapter 4 – Homemade meal

"Sougo...Why are you following me?!"

"You ask why? I'm curious is why."

"Back off Sougo."

"No way."

The moment I saw a glimpse of the visitor, I backed away.

"Hijikata-san, you're the one who told me to back off so why are you the one backing away? You really should straighten up. That attitude isn't fit for a Vice Commander. It's high time you act like one else I'd get my bazooka and blast you into smithereens. I'm going to get it anyway."

I grabbed a hold of him and whispered, "Sougo! Shhh!! Shut up!"

"Huh? What are you?"

I peeked again then immediately hid myself.

She was standing near the entrance, waiting patiently.

It's her! HER!

I did say it's alright if it's her BUT! Just wait a frigging minute!

"Hijikata-san?"

Meeting her again is just too soon! Too soon! Wait... did she follow me here? Did she? Did she?!

"Hijikata-san? Yoohoo??"

And what the hell am I DOING?! HIDING?!

Sougo started waving his hand in front of my eyes. "Hello? Hello? Hijikata-san?" Curious, Sogou glanced at where I'm looking and grinned, "Ahhh. I knew it. You did something shameful to that woman. What a shame. She's even a beauty."

"S-stupid! I did not!"

But the bastard pushed me out the open as he exclaimed, "Then get outta' there and face her like a man."

I was now in her line of sight.

When she saw me, she smiled and drew near.

There's nothing I could do about this now. Clearing my throat, I called out, "Oh. It's you."

Sougo stayed behind me with an eye piercing every little thing. This bastard...

"I know that my appearance is kind of sudden but I'm here now." She showed me a box and said, "I made you something as a token of gratitude for accepting my request."

"Huh? What? Token? Wait... There's no need for you to do this."

"I'm very grateful for your help."

"I haven't done anything yet."

I could feel a crowd gathering behind my back. I glared at the men, "You guys... what are you doing?"

They pushed me aside and had her surrounded in an instant.

Kondou-san nudged me with his shoulder and said, "Oi. Oi! Toushi... Introduce us!"

Annoyed, I snatched her hand and pulled her away from them. I turned at her and told her, "Don't mind them. Follow me."

I motioned her to follow me as I shooed away the onlookers.

"Ah. Hello. I'm Okita Sougo. Nice to meet you."

"A pleasure to meet you too."

"Oi!!"

"Stop crowding around! You're all scaring her!"

Amused, she chuckled and said, "It's fine."
