"What the hell is going on, Yukiha?!" his voice was slightly deep, and his face became grim, and his eyes stayed on her face with concern.

"What is the injury? Or is it uncomfortable? What the hell is going on—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he abruptly interrupted.

For he saw that the girl, who had been so brave just a moment ago, suddenly looked up at the sky above her that was covered by a thick canopy, as if she was trying to endure the tears that suddenly welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.

"It's not fair...... I just want to survive...... I just don't want to see the people I value die one by one!!"

Her voice grew from low to high, her voice almost distorted by intense anger mixed with tears.

But after trying her best to suppress her strong emotional fluctuations, but still couldn't help shouting these words, she seemed to be stuck again, and she looked up at the sky above her head that was broken by the dense branches and leaves of the big tree, and she was stunned for a while.

In the end, she actually pulled the corners of her lips and laughed a little.

"Original...... That's right......" she said softly to herself.

This idea was born...... has already destroyed the "laws of the world", so it will be forcibly blocked by the system bacteria without warning to prevent itself from becoming more crazy.

When did the Mary Sue think that "I am powerful, stronger than anyone else in this world, so I should use this power to do something unreasonable that I want to achieve, such as forcibly spitting out bento to the people I like and want to take care of?"

The system fungus only asked her to let Hijikata spit out the bento alone. However, now that she wants to save the entire Shinsengumi, isn't this dangerous idea enough to shake the foundation of this world's existence and operation, and destroy the normal development track of this world.

Her face was a little gray, but the strange smile on her lips grew deeper and deeper. Finally, she snapped her eyes shut and burst out laughing silently.

It turns out that I have become a self-righteous Mary Sue who thinks that I can change the course of the world by myself.

So, it's impossible to be accepted by the system.

There has never been so much desire to be a really useful Mary Sue. However, this has proven impossible.

No matter how much you try to redeem this qiē, no matter how much you want to let these beautiful and kind important people live, can't you?

Tears suddenly poured out inexplicably, and one teardrop drilled directly out of the corner of her eye, slowly sliding down the beautiful arc of her cheek.

Every single one of them is so young...... They are brave, enthusiastic, conscientious, straightforward, trying to live, trying to care for their fellow travelers, trying to chase a dream that has become incompatible with this era, outdated......

Some of these people are just because their dreams are incompatible with this era, so the world can't accommodate them...... Can't they live?!Do they have to die?!

Suddenly, Liu Quan, who was desperately tilting her head up, closing her eyes, and holding back her tears, felt a hand hesitantly and carefully fall on top of her head, paused for a moment, and rubbed it awkwardly.

Suddenly, with this movement, her own voice seemed to suddenly echo in her head.

[Touching your head, it means "friendly support and firm trust", which means that I am on the side of Yijun and trust that Yijun can make the best choice, right?]

Is it. Seriously, I also wrote down the meaning of [touching the head to kill] that I popularized to him at that time. So now, he's trying to say the same thing to her, isn't he?

"'Friendly support and unwavering trust,'" she whispered suddenly, hooking the corners of her lips slightly, and large tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Then, without warning, she opened her eyes and looked directly at Xiao Yi, who was crouching beside her, his expression still calm, but there was a kind of confusion and worry in his eyes.

"Yijun, my magical ability is gone. She said bluntly.

Saito was stunned, and the hand that was still performing [Touching the Head] stopped on the black hair on the top of her head that was messy from the fight.

"Disappear?!disappear...... What does that mean?"

Liu Quan smiled bitterly and sighed.

“...... That is, there will never be any more of them. I guess it's because I use it a lot and overdraw my body......"

An explanation that the people of this era can slightly understand must be given. She searched the dry intestines, pondering the words.

"This kind of magical ability was originally to hollow out a certain aspect of one's body in exchange for it...... Just now on the battlefield, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my body that I had never seen before, and if I tried to use that ability, I couldn't use it......"

Liu Quan said in a dry tone, his expression was lost and sad, and he was a little dazed.

It is difficult and painful to accept and suddenly lose the miraculous ability that you confidently rely on and think that you will be able to win on such a brutal battlefield......

Thinking so, Saito rubbed the top of her head again awkwardly and stiffly, making her hair even more messy.

“...... Never mind. Then don't use it. There will always be another way to win...... Wouldn't it be a bad thing for you to give up the abilities you could only buy at a great cost, even to the extent of destroying your own abilities......?" he said with a slight stammer.

Comforting others has never been Saito's forte, let alone comforting a girl in tears on a battlefield full of dangers.

For some reason, he stumbled and said incoherently, and involuntarily remembered the night he finally left the Guardian's camp and returned to the Shinsengumi.

He actually had a very difficult day. During the day, he was suddenly called by Ito Koshitaro to have a secret talk.,Forced to hear his shocking plan to assassinate Mr. Kondo.,Even if my heart is extremely shocked.,I had to pretend to agree to participate in his plan.。

However, after he agreed, perhaps because he was not worried about his loyalty, Ito Kokotaro assigned two more henchmen to monitor him at all times, intentionally or unintentionally, so that he had no chance to leave the kensho to meet with Kiyohara Yukiha and send back the shocking news that the Imperial Tomb Guards were preparing to assassinate Kondo.

By the end of the night, he had already missed the meeting time he had agreed with Kiyohara Yukiha, and he had even begun to think carefully about whether to take a risk, forcibly sneaking out of Gaotai Temple in the middle of the night and running back to the Shinsengumi to ventilate the news. However, in this case, he will inevitably reveal his undercover identity, and more importantly, arouse the suspicion and vigilance of the Imperial Guards, which in turn will affect the Shinsengumi's other important plans to deal with the Imperial Guardians.

But that's when she came.

When he was called out by Hashimoto, a team member with a panicked face and no eyes, he felt a little suspicious. Because he didn't have what Hashimoto called "good friends" - although he often had to meet Kiyohara in the guise of a lover outside, but that kind of cheesy and obscene statement obviously could not be used to describe their disguise, and besides, he didn't think Kiyohara would dare to go to the cantonment of the Imperial Tomb guards alone to find someone because he missed a meeting.

However, he was wrong. When he saw the girl outside the door with a somewhat unfamiliar face, crying out in a hoarse voice, "You forgot that you used to like me so much, and you gave me cherry blossoms that I couldn't eat", the surprise and fright that surged out of his heart reached the highest point at the same time.

Ah, it turned out to be her. He thought.

Because there is only one person who once gave "cherry blossoms that you can't eat".

And now, for the second time, he saw her cry. If the last time it was because of acting, then this time, he could sense the resentment, powerlessness, self-blame and pain that welled up in her heart.

Not knowing how to comfort her, he wanted to say, "You've done enough," but he thought it sounded a bit stiff, and in a hurry, he suddenly remembered the strange way she had touched his head.

Maybe in her mind, doing so would comfort and encourage someone, right?

...... Probably, that's really the case.

Because he saw her slowly smile with tears in her eyes. It was a genuine smile, a smile re-dyed with firmness, as if some kind of decision had been made.

"And you've used that ability to support me three times. I have to thank you for that. He said very seriously.

Her eyes flashed, and she seemed a little surprised, but soon her expression softened, and she nodded slightly, and replied, "If you really want to thank me, buy me lots and lots of cherry blossoms." ”

Later, they managed to find a way from Kannonzaka to escape the siege of Tosa and Tottori feudal soldiers and return to their main camp.

However, what awaits them in this camp is something even more cruel and unbelievable.

...... A rakshasa that can move freely during the day.

Although Yamanan Heisuke drank the water and became a rakshasa, just like the vampires of the West, the origin of the rakshasas, they can only move freely at night. It's not impossible to force out during the day, but every move from being exposed to the sun to doing all kinds of things will make Rakshasa's body feel extremely painful.

This is the limitation of Rakshasas. That's why the Rakshasas of the Shinsengumi could only operate at night before, and even this time the Battle of Kofu didn't send the Rakshasa team out of the battle - because the power of the Rakshasas in the daytime was greatly reduced, and the ordinary Rakshasa soldiers with a little less self-control and willpower would have all kinds of unpredictable problems, and the disadvantages outweighed the benefits, so they were temporarily hidden.

However, the Rakshasas who are now active in the Shinsengumi Honjin Formation at Katsunuma Kashiwao Bridge have not been affected by the sun or daylight in any way, and they have completely demonstrated the terrifying killing ability of the Rakshasas at night.

When Saito and Yanagizumi rushed down from the mountain in a hurry, they happened to catch a large wave of rakshasas to attack.

Without caring about reporting the battle situation at Kannonzaka to the others, or informing the others of the terrible fact that Kiyohara's superpowers could not be counted on in the future, Saito and Yanagiizumi immediately drew their swords and threw themselves into the battlefield.
