#kondo and Hijikata aren’t there because it is a middle management kind of debate

[fierce-little-miana]

I have this silly idea in my head that I wanted to share with the Hakuouki fandom.

You know this episode of The Office in which they spend the day hotly debating if Hilary Swank is hot or not (featuring presentations of arguments on both sides)? The same thing but with the captains of the Shinsengumi about Kimigiku after they went out to Shimabara.

Team Kimigiku is hot:

Shinpachi (developping the Jim-like argument that we judge courtisans according to different and unfair standarts, and that if Kimigiku wasn't a courtisan no one would ever say she isn't hot)

Heisuke

Chizuru

Team Kimigiku is not hot:

Saito

Souji

Sano (developping the argument that yes Kimigiku is beautiful, extremely so even, but hot is a gut feeling and that he simply does not feel it for her)

They spend hours debating this. Nothing of value is accomplished during the entire afternoon and it only stops because one of them has to leave to lead a patrol.
