Willow Springs walked briskly along the mountain path.

After escaping from Edo Castle, she finally got the exact news after several inquiries.

After the deputy governor Hijikata led the Shinsengumi to merge with the old shogunate army, he captured Utsunomiya Castle with the old shogunate army on the 19th. However, the victory was short-lived, and only four days later the new government forces recaptured Utsunomiya Castle, and Hijikata was wounded in the battle.

Now the Shinsengumi should have retreated to Aizu with the old shogunate. On the way from Edo to Aizu, Yanagisen passed through the towns, and the news of Kondo's execution in Itabashi had already arrived.

When he heard the news, Liu Quan thought of a sigh of emotion that seemed a little calm and irrelevant before his grief for a moment.

[Ah...... Is this the only mission I've failed so far...... ］

Then the pain of "Kondo-san is really dead, I couldn't make him spit out the bento" came up, making her truly realize how small she can be in the face of the cruel reality and the torrent of the times, even if she is an excellent player who has crossed three worlds (?).

The next moment, the contradiction of "how am I going to go back to see the deputy chief, how am I going to tell him this whole thing", accompanied by realizations such as "the general secretary must be very sad" and "everyone will be very painful", mixed with a sharp sting in her heart, surged up together, drowning her whole person.

But she had to move on. We must continue to keep up with the Shinsengumi. is no longer the stubborn and rebellious sister control Kujo Noriko, and even no longer the invincible campus goddess Yanagizumi Nobuya, now she is Kiyohara Yukiha, the acting leader of the Shinsengumi Ichiban Group, and she must return to the place where she really belongs-

She walked all the way along the mountain road, and when she approached the outskirts of White River City, she climbed over a small slope, and then she found that on the mountain road below the slope, there were seven or eight very familiar people--Xinxuan team members!

Her eyesight is very good, and she recognized one of them at a glance, it was Okada, who was in Kyoto, when Saito left the team to go undercover for the Imperial Tomb Guards, and when she was ordered to contact Saito in a single line, she mistakenly thought that "Kiyohara Yukiya" had a lover outside, and he had followed her and was yelled at by the deputy chief!

Her spirits were lifted, and she hurried down a few steps from the top of the slope until she ran in front of the soldiers.

"Hey, Okada-kun!!!, why are you here?," she exclaimed happily.

However, when the soldiers heard her voice, everyone stiffened, and turned their heads sharply with shocked expressions of disbelief, without exception.

And the single-celled Okada's reaction was even more unexpected than she expected. The moment he saw her face clearly, he showed an extremely indignant expression, his face turned red, and he pulled out the knife from his waist with a choked sound, held it with both hands, and pointed it at her.

“...... What else are you doing?Kiyohara Yukiya?!" His voice seemed to be distorted by a great deal of anger, and every word seemed to be barely squeezed out of his teeth.

Liu Quan: ?!

...... Something is wrong!!

Fortunately, this guy Okada is a single-celled animal who can't hide things in his heart.

“...... Haven't you betrayed us and surrendered to the scoundrels of the Chief!?" he roared, clenching the sword in his hand in anger, the tip of the knife trembling slightly with his hands in extreme anger.

Liu Quan was shocked.

"Surrender...... Sa Chief?!" she muttered, then raised her fierce gaze.

"How could I surrender to the chief!!Are you all crazy?!Do you just not believe me?!" she exclaimed.

The other team members seemed to be intimidated by the powerful aura that she burst out in an instant, and they didn't speak or move for a while. Okada, who only had rough nerves, was still holding a knife, and shouted angrily: "Hasn't the chief of the sa already announced it?......!" Therefore, Kiyohara Yuki, the acting leader of the Ichiban Group of the Shinsengumi, also took the initiative to throw himself into them! And because he honestly confessed a lot of secrets within the Shinsengumi, and his credit was huge, he was exempted from punishment! If you want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you are the best example! Your Majesty is broad-minded, so the sooner they surrender, the better-!!"

Willow Springs: !!

"I didn't surrender to them, and I didn't confess any internal secrets about the Shinsengumi!!, this is a vicious frame-up!!" she immediately shouted loudly, her heart beating fast.

The person who had the power to make such an announcement and fabricated such a vicious and believable-sounding lie to frame her...... Who else could there be?!

“...... What else is there to say!!" Okada seemed to be taken aback by her screams, but he was also someone who had experienced countless bloody storms with the Shinsengumi, and of course it wasn't something that could be deterred by a few words, so he quickly picked himself up and replied loudly as well.

"Of course you're going to defend yourself! In that case, tell me what's going on with you leaving the team in Edo without permission?! Don't sue me that you're going to rescue the chief! What the deputy chief can't do, and what the shogunate can't do, can you do it if you ask you?!"

Liu Quan: "......"

He made so much sense that she couldn't refute it for a while when she couldn't tell the truth.

Although it is true that many of the soldiers who withdrew to Edo after the Battle of Kofu have fled, and even the law in the game is useless in the face of this reality, but as a famous [sous chef] in the team, and a cadre who has been in the team for many years, if he does not have a valid reason like Shinhachi and Harada, and has applied and obtained permission in front of the bureau chief and deputy chief, it is indeed understandable that outsiders will look suspicious if they leave the team in a hurry without anyone knowing......

However, how to explain it? Saying that what the deputy chief can't do, the things that the adults of the shogunate don't dare to take care of and don't want to care, the deputy chief will pin his last hope on her, because the deputy chief knows that her family is colluding with the Choshu domain behind her back?!

Liu Quan, who has always been full of mouth cannon skills, was silent for a short time at the moment, and in Okada's eyes, it was almost a proof of her weakness and acquiescence. This loyal, tenacious guy is crazy.

He turned back to the few soldiers who seemed to be guarding the mountain path here, and yelled, "...... What are you still doing in a daze!!Pull out your sword!!This person is no longer a cadre of the Shinsengumi!!, but someone who betrayed us!!"

The soldiers were yelled at by him, and they raised their swords as if they had just woken up from a dream, and their faces showed a look of wariness and a hint of fear, probably because they were afraid of the superb swordsmanship that Liu Quan had shown before.

Liu Quan: "...... Why doesn't it make sense, these idiots......"

She sighed helplessly.

"I want to see the deputy chief. Determined not to bother with these single-celled animals, she said bluntly, "I'll give him my explanation." What will be my fate after that, let the deputy chief decide. I don't want to fight you, isn't it better to use the power of the Shinsengumi companions on the battlefield in the first place, but on the battlefield-"

"The Director, the Director is dead!!We will never let you, a traitor, have another chance to disadvantage the Deputy Chief!!" Okada burst out with a shout, raised his knife, and suddenly stabbed at her!

Liu Quan: "......"

She can't really hurt her companions, can she...... How can she explain this to the deputy chief? So she had to dodge sideways and dodge Okada's knife.

Okada misses the blow, gritted his teeth fiercely and slashed again.

In Liu Quan's opinion, this loyal and somewhat heartless guy, although his loyalty is commendable, his swordsmanship has not improved much over the years. His every move and style was full of flaws in her eyes, and he pulled out his knife and slapped him twice, and he had to be cut to the ground and scream.

However, if you cut down the soldiers who were loyal to the Shinsengumi...... The whole set of convincing and vicious rumors that Kujo Daoqing made up for her is even more unclear!

So she had no choice but to exert the additional high-speed power brought by her [Advanced Light Skill] to dodge Okada's slashes again and again.

Although he didn't fight back, everyone could see the superiority of swordsmanship. Without drawing the knife, the opponent can not cut himself, this kind of thing can only be done if his own strength is higher than the opponent I don't know how many times.

Behind them, there was finally a hot-blooded newcomer who couldn't hold it back, and rushed forward with a knife.

"Since it's the guy who betrayed the Shinsengumi, then what else is there to say! Kill, ahh

At this time, Liu Quan suddenly fell into a disadvantage.

It didn't matter if she dodged one person, now she had to face seven or eight people. He couldn't draw his sword and slash through the crowd all the way through the crowd like he did in the streets of Edo late at night, without showing mercy, so Yanagizumi had no choice but to draw his sword immediately.

...... Even a little bit of the Virgin is never to be used at this time. It's ridiculous that you're about to be hacked to death, and you're still thinking about leaving a life for the other party. Even if you want to see the deputy chief again and clear up this vicious lie and rumor, you have to live to have a chance to talk about it.

Liu Quan was just about to jump up, but behind him, he didn't know who threw a few stones, swept past her, and flew like a bullet out of the wind to the soldiers on the opposite side!

Liu Quan immediately reflexively turned around.

“...... Stop, three days and moons! This time it's the Shinsengumi on the other side, and they can't beat them like they did with my brother's men! What if they think they're monsters!"

Behind her, dressed in a gorgeous blue hunting robe, dressed like a noble prince of the Heian Dynasty, who seemed to be only suitable for drinking tea elegantly and peacefully in a gorgeous hall, and the three days and moon sect of the mountain road scene in the troubled times at the end of the Edo Dynasty were completely incompatible, appeared there.

Hearing her words, he curled the corners of his mouth as if he felt amused.

"For me, someone who wants to be unfavorable to Yukiba-kun, no matter who he is, is my enemy. ”

That kind of pleasant and charming voice, speaking sharp words in an elegant tone.

"If that's the kind of person, no matter how many people come, I'll clear it for you, right?"

Willow Springs: ......!!!

When is this all this, you black-bellied old man is still talking about such a wonderful and gorgeous otome game line with a casual face, flirting with girls!!
