1043 1038 [Return Chapter 6] 57
Suddenly, though still in the midst of a perilous battlefield, Satsuma's end was at hand, and the people in front of her had debunked her identity and used her as a fallen inquisitor to purge her along with the man she had saved in defiance of history......
However, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
A sense of security that bordered on losing her mind welled up in her heart.
It's because this person is finally in front of her again.
It's because he still stands in front of her as always, choosing to believe in her and defend her.
Though maybe the next second the whole story of the lies she told him would crumble in pieces, though maybe he had just stood not far away and had heard her conversation with the inquisitor with the name "Kirino Toshiaki"—
Because she was so inexplicably confident that what he believed was her, not anyone else.
“...... yes. She even spoke in a tone of blind confidence, and very naturally followed Hijikata's words and said:
"It's 10 years later...... However, the majesty of the 'Wolf of Mibu' back then, would you like to see it again?"
Her words and tone were so hypocritical that she was polite, but with an extremely confident smile on her face, it seemed like for a moment that she had the illusion that her face was full of brilliance, and that for a moment one could forget her wounded shoulder, her face covered in dust and blood, as if she were the boy who had been patrolling the streets of Kyoto ten years ago with a pale shallot-colored haori and a knife at her waist.
And all of this change came about after the man showed up and said that.
Toshiaki Kirino frowned slightly, and looked at the man who stood in front of the fallen female inquisitor and faced him without a trace.
...... Is this the former deputy head of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Suizo?
When he arrived, Toshiaki Kirino was already a Satsuma general, not the "Rencho Hanjiro" who used to haunt the streets of Kyoto like a ronin, so he didn't have the impression that Hijikata looked like he really looked like, only an old historical photo he had seen in the real world before - and he had to say that the man in front of him really had a face favored by God.
Considering the actual age of the other party, the appearance of the man in front of him can be said to be too young for his age, not at all close to the twilight and oiliness of middle age, but still has the sharp straightforwardness of youth and pure handsomeness, mixed with the powerful aura exuded from his body, it only takes a glance to understand why the female inquisitor in front of him, who is said to have been the best subordinate on "that side", has completed all his tasks perfectly- will not hesitate to rewrite history at the expense of darkness, and stubbornly insist on continuing his life.
The "Kirino Toshiaki" he replaced was also known for his handsomeness, but compared to the Hijikata Suizo, who some even called "the most beautiful man at the end of the Bakugaku", there is almost no comparison at all.
Such a person will make those women crazy and want to change history.
He now understood the reason why this brilliant female inquisitor would fall in secret. But that didn't convince him to open the net at all.
He didn't want to listen to the woman's arguments too much, because words didn't matter. What matters is the result, the current state of history.
A distorted history must be restored to its original state. No matter how handsome and extraordinary Hijikata looks, and how beautiful and brave Kiyohara Yukiha looks, it is no different from those twisted and hideous, black marches of time.
They are all monsters who must be eliminated in order to preserve history, and they should not have survived to this day.
Toshiaki Kirino sneered, as if he hadn't seen her face that was so blind confident that it glowed.
"'Mibu wolf' has long been a term in the past tense that has disappeared into history. He replied coldly.
"Just like the days when you were in Kyoto, you can't come back. ”
He paused and smiled softly and obediently.
“...... Because history is such a cruel and unforgiving thing. ”
Liu Quan was stunned.
But she didn't have time to read the hidden meaning behind that sentence, because Kirino Toshiaki continued, still with the more and more obedient smile on his face.
"After I get rid of you, I'm going to report to the government of the time and shut down your honmaru. His tone was cold, sounding devoid of warmth and emotion, like an ultimatum.
"It's impossible that you haven't revealed a hint of your secret fall for so long...... And the person who doesn't report it—no, I should say, 'Fu Fu God'—is most likely hiding in your honmaru. ”
"They go with you and spend time with you day and night. In addition to being comrades-in-arms, they are also companions-"
He maliciously slowed down his speech a little, and his gaze slid silently over the face of Toshizo Hijikata in front of him.
...... If this man was really the lover of the fallen Female Inquisitor in front of her, it would be impossible to remain indifferent to these ambiguous descriptions that implied that more other men had appeared around her.
“...... Isn't that a fact that female inquisitors like you are happy to talk about and are willing to maintain? He continued in an extremely objective and calm tone.
However, he knew right away that he seemed to be underestimating the mental strength and responsiveness of the woman in front of him.
She was only slightly stunned, and after a few seconds, she realized what bad thing he was going to imply, and immediately shouted, "I confess, I used to fight side by side with those mourning gods, and I also got along well as friends...... But it's not what you say! What I've done, they don't know! They just faithfully fulfill their responsibilities as the god of mourning, fighting against the march of time......"
Even, for the sake of his mission to preserve history, he once fought hard against himself, a fallen god inquisitor—for example, Izumi Shouji, for example, the Three Days Moon Sect is near.
Thinking of these two names again made her heart suddenly tingle uncontrollably. This made her slow for a moment before she realized that the stinging was caused by an emotion called "guilt".
They all found out that she was trying to falsify history, save the deputy chief, and they all fought her seriously—but in the end, it was she who used a certain bond and emotion between them without permission, and cunningly blackmailed them, forcing them to ignore the facts that could prove her secret fall -
If it is a sin for her to rewrite history, then Izumi Mamoru and Mikazumi are by no means accomplices, nor have they committed any crimes to cover up, but victims.
It was the victim who followed her mission and conscience and fought well with her, a fallen God Inquisitor, but was finally coerced by her cunningly, and did things that were inconsistent with the conscience and three views they understood, victim.
Whether it's the sun on the Hakodate field or the wind blowing in front of Sensoji Temple, it's a testament to her selfishness and cunning.
But all this, Kirino Toshiaki didn't know. He didn't seem to bother to find out.
He rolled his lips and interrupted her coldly.
“...... I don't believe a word of what you say. He said.
"I don't believe that your inclination to depravity has not been revealed at all after all these years. ”
"They are mourning gods, some kind of gods, who are only left in the world for your drive for the noble mission of 'preserving history', and are not your puppets or servants, and they will not lose their reason and insight because of this. ”
"They may not know what you've done before, but haven't you been in the Restoration Map for so long?! ”
"So, in those places, haven't you met your former companions in the Shinsengumi again? don't you feel heartache when you see them? Don't you regret it? Don't you want to continue to do something to save them?"
"Further, you're in Hakodate, you're in Utsunomiya, you're in Toba, you're in Ikedaya...... In all the places associated with the Shinsengumi, haven't you met this Hijikata Suisan-kun once, and if you see him having to go to the predetermined fate of defeat and sacrifice again and again, won't you be pained, regretful, and won't you want to take him back from the hands of death?"
Willow Springs: !!
Ah, this soul is faint.
He was so right.
Hit the nail on the head.
He really deserves to be the person that the government of the time likes.
His inferences are almost all correct, and his mastery of the human heart is also first-rate...... Even more terrifying, she was almost certain that when he returned, he would report her to the Government of Time—and the mourning gods of her Honmaru who might cover up her sins out of emotional considerations.
For example, Izumi Shouji.
For example, the three days and the moon are near.
“...... Even so, my personal wishes have nothing to do with my subordinates. She struggled to maintain her composure, glared at him coldly, and spoke.
"If all the thoughts of the lord are known to his subordinates, then with all due respect, this lord deserves to fail......"
"When an idea is known, it means that it is easy to be manipulated by others...... You don't think I'm the kind of naïve idiot, do you?"
She accentuated her tone a little, but Kirino Toshiaki only smiled.
"No, I don't think you're. He replied.
Just as Liu Quan unconsciously had the thought of "How can this person still agree with what I said?" in his mind, he was heard to continue:
"But a good ruler will use his charisma to manipulate his subordinates into serving him. ”
Liu Quan: !?
Toshiaki Kirino said this in a bland narrative tone. There was even a hint of a smile in his voice, but the implication behind the words was terrifyingly cold.
His gaze swept back and forth between her and Hijikata's faces standing in front of her, as if to make sure they both understood what he was trying to convey, before he said slowly:
“...... You're both good lords, aren't you?"
