You're G O L D|| Sugimoto Saichi x f!Reader x Ogata Hyakunosuke

Oh yeah. We're gonna cut off his leg if it's cool with him. He doesn't need it.

"There's something I wanted to ask you. If we ever met. There must've been some information only Nopperabou shared with you alone, Hijikata. I'm not exactly sure if it's because he trusted you or if your goals just happened to coincide. Did he come to you with a plan to arm the Ainu people and start a war of independence?" Sugimoto asked.

Then he chuckled, "Y'know. I'm honestly starting to doubt Nopperabou is even Ainu."

Hijikata frowned a bit, "oh. So you've realized that much?"

Sugimoto kept a firm grip on his gun, that raging red aura threatening to kill this old man surrounded him, "Is your plan to trick Nopperabou and steal his gold? Are you going to take that gold and rebuild the Republic of Ezo? Well, Hijikata Toshizou?"

Asirpa gasped, "My father-"

Hijikata cut her off with a deep frown and grabbed the hilt of his sword, "We can join forces. Or we can fight this out to the death. Make your choice. NOW."

Not wanting to by killed, you reached into your attus and grabbed one of the knives from Eddie Dun's kitchen collection.

Ogata furrowed his eyebrows, 'Wait... Hijikata just cut the girl off, it seemed she was about to say something important. She said "my father..." ' Then, his eyebrows rose in realization, 'Don't tell me she's Nopperabou's daughter... Plus, he obviously familiar with (Y/N), could she be a convict too?'

 Asirpa stomach started summoning demons again. Then, a little old man hobbled into the room. "If you have any tattooed skins, we are willing to buy them from you. We don't want you to concern yourselves with the future of our country." he meant business, but he was still kinda cute.

Shiraishi sweat even more, 'damn it! Nagakura Shinpachi is here too!' Meanwhile, you were rushing towards the old man as quietly as you could, grinning your ass off, "Awh! Is that Nagakura Shinpachi? He's so cute!" you swooned. 

'Wasn't she about to just kill everybody earlier?'

"Don't patronize me you fool, I'll cut your head off." he muttered, then continued what he was really about to say, " You could you use the money to settle down, go back home, find a wife, live a peaceful and happy life." he was begging low-key, "Or does that life seem boring to an young man like yourself?"

Sugimoto's frown deepened when he heard the word 'wife'. His mind had drifted off to the woman back home, Umeko. Then, he thought about how seriously you reacted when he was asked about her. 'How would you react if I introduced you to Umeko? Would (Y/N) really fight a blind lady with a kid over me?' he thought, but first, more pressing matters awaited, "We need to meet Nopperabou to find out to distinguish the real from the fake. IF somebody finds the gold before we can get to him, that would mean lots of trouble for us."

Asirpa looked up at Sugimoto with a look of wonder, and then her stomach announced the demon summoning cult meeting should begin. Embarrassingly enough, Ushiyama's stomach joined in, "Y-You want to see him?" The big man asked.

Asirpa's stomach kept grumbling innocently, filling in the silence that had settled over everyone. Sugimoto was about to speak again, but the grumbling of Kiroranke's, Asirpa's, Shiraishi's, Ushiyama's, and your's stomachs just kept interrupting him

"WhaT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT GROWLING? ARE YOU ALL HAVING A MEETING OR SOMETHING?"

Then, Ienaga's pretty little head popped in, "Shall I make some food for everyone then?"

"IENAGA IS STILL ALIVE?"

"How about we finish this conversation at the dinner table?" He smiled.
