When Yanagizumi turned around, he found that he was one of Saigo's cronies and subordinates, and he met Juro Tai.

He had always been a man who had always taken great care to maintain his heroic and glorious image, and even though everyone had been almost unkempt until now, he had always dipped his hair in water and finely parted and combed it sideways, but now his hair was disheveled, and his face was stained with dust and a few traces of blood, and he was carrying a rifle that he didn't know if he could still use, and rushed over to Ryuzumi's side, and rushed to the front of Saigo Takamori, shouting, "There is no time! ”

Saigo didn't answer him immediately, but clearly hesitated.

However, the sound of a denser burst of bullets immediately caught the attention of the side. He glanced back and shouted, "I'm going to fight them to the death!"

Then, without saying a word of goodbye, he turned and rushed back with his gun in his hand, shouting along the way, "All of you follow me!" and "Let's fight those guys to the death!" and rushed down the hill.

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the few people left around him responded with a bang, and quickly rushed down with Bian Jian.

Liu Quan: "......"

She had no choice but to turn her head to look at Saigo.

...... It's already dangerous at this time...... She didn't forget that Saigo was wounded by stray bullets in many places in the end, so she had to cut her stomach on the spot, and she didn't follow the script that everyone had envisioned, and found a quiet place to take the initiative to cut her stomach on her own.

In other words, if she pokes here, she will also be hit by a stray bullet in minutes, right?!

Although the blood tonic medicine and Bai Xian are both elixirs that can be successfully exchanged for a second, if the first-class bullet has no eyes and hits the heart, she will have to GAME OVER!

Ryuzumi hesitated for a moment, and before he could make up his mind whether to withdraw quickly or continue to monitor Saigo until the moment in his history when he should have died, he heard Saigo's voice ringing out.

"I was going to go out of the avenue and take it in stride. ”

Saigo actually sighed and said calmly.

Liu Quan: "......"

How does this make her answer?, "It's too late, so you can make do here, right?"

However, she is the only one present for the time being, and even Beppu Shinsuke, who was responsible for Saigo's mistake in history, has not yet arrived, and she is the only one who can answer Saigo's words.

Liu Quan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "...... At the time of the change of the forbidden gate, those ronins of the Choshu Domain could only rush to Tenwang Mountain desperately to seek a place to cut their stomachs...... You're back in your hometown now, and you're at least luckier than they are. ”

Saigo looked a little surprised.

"Ah...... This is the second time you've mentioned the change of the forbidden door. He said slowly.

“...... Is it time for you to reveal the mystery to me?"

His eyes, which had been a little cloudy from hard fighting, despair, and exhaustion, shot shrewdly and sharply in an instant.

"Why do you know so much about what happened back then, and if you're just an intelligence house, why do you need to remember things that long ago?"

Saigo sighed again.

"As you can see, Miss Kujo, I want to be a ghost too. ”

He stared at the young girl in front of him, who was similarly embarrassed, but she didn't show the slightest wavering or frightened expression.

She just looked back at him with the same composure, the corners of her lips slowly curled, and replied word by word:

"I remember it so clearly because I was one of the people who were chasing the Ronin of the Choshu Domain. ”

Saigo's pupils suddenly dilated for a moment due to extreme surprise!

"...... you?!" he glared at her in disbelief, his eyes flickering a few times, apparently digging out some details in the depths of his memory, and his voice suddenly sank, and he asked sharply, "...... At that time, it was the Aizu clan who was in charge of the pursuit! The person assigned by the Aizu clan was-"

Before he could say the name, which had almost disappeared into time, he saw the young girl in front of him—nay, until this time, he suddenly realized, perhaps her age was no longer as young as her countenance suggested—and her eyes suddenly narrowed, and her eyebrows curled into a hint of a grand smile.

"Oh, yes. She said.

"As you can imagine, it's the Shinsengumi. ”

She spat out the name of the syllables that had once been revered, equally feared and hated, with a smile between her brows, but the lower part of her face was extremely calm, almost as cold and hard as if it were covered with an indestructible iron mask.

"It's been 10 years...... I've finally waited until today. ”

She opened her lips, which were almost in a straight line, and spat out words that he had never thought of beforehand.

"Those days that stubbornly survived in the long dark night with almost no end in sight, carrying the expectation that the dead companions still survived in the world......

What was she singing about the song she was humming last night?

[The hardships of the world have been tasted

There is no silver lining in hope

Even if it's a long night

The sun will rise eventually]

Although the background is wrong, there is always something common with those sincere words and beliefs that have never been extinguished in the midst of darkness and suffering, right?

“...... Mr. Saigo. She softened her tone, thought for a moment, and addressed the strongman of the Satsuma Domain, the former nemesis of the Shinsengumi, in a polite tone.

"It's not just the time of the change of the forbidden door...... What was before that, and what was after...... I haven't forgotten all of them. ”

"I still remember, in Fushimi, in Yodo Castle...... The shock, humiliation, and anger I felt in my heart when I saw you suddenly unfurl the Imperial Banner of Nishiki and brand us as 'enemies' in a big way—"

"Now, you're enemies too—how does that feel?"

The woman, who should have a face full of vicissitudes and a dusty face but still looks young and beautiful at the moment, gently hooked the corners of her lips.

"When we weep bitterly because of the separation of life and death, when we tremble with hatred and anger...... You're laughing. You are very happy because you have finally taken the place of righteousness and can stand at the top of this country......"

Bullets were still whizzing past them and overhead. She still spoke for a long time, as if she had no idea how dangerous their situation really was.

"However, standing at the top of the country is not a victory. You stand on a high place, and under your feet is the abyss...... In the abyss, there are souls who have been twisted and wronged by you watching you—"

Saigo slowly lowered his eyebrows.

...... This woman is probably crazy. He thought.

It's unbelievable.

I've been eyebrow-raising with Choshu for a long time.、Later, I turned to some relationships on Satsuma's side.,The family that's good at seeing the wind and steering.,The head of the family is even more immoral and unspeakable.,Finally came out of a woman who has been loyal to the Shinsengumi to this day?!

And she lurked in the darkness, hiding after the Shinsengumi surrendered in Hakodate, and waited until today to reveal her ferocious fangs, apparently waiting for the last moment to witness Satsuma's demise - instead of taking her father's last allegiance to him!

Saigo's heart suddenly sank.

...... Wrong!

Only then did he realize that a lot of intelligence work along the way was in her hands. So how much she did out of it, it is now unknown - although she may not have much affection for the officials and soldiers as a side that has always stood on the side of the Shinsengumi, but it is still easy to get in the way and destroy the chance of possible reconciliation!

He blurted out, "...... So, what means did you use to stop the negotiation that Shingo led that time?!"

When the young woman in front of her heard this, she didn't show the slightest look of surprise - of course, she didn't feel weak. She grinned, as if smugly.

"Your brother, let him be his master...... Even if you meet, it won't end much better than it does now - trust me, I'm just for your good. She replied.

Saigo: "You're ......!"

The young woman didn't seem to know how to restrain herself at all, and smiled triumphantly at him.

“...... Now, it's time for you too to fall. She said.

"I don't care what ambitions you have, those are not righteous now...... You have stepped on other people's advancements and laughed at their ambitions, as if other people's loyalty was not loyalty, and other people's beliefs were not faith......"

Suddenly, a stray bullet whizzed into the distance and seemed to hit her left arm. Her body staggered two steps.

Xi:!!!

Before he could decide whether to show a surprised expression or a happy expression, he saw her turn her head impatiently, lowered her head and half-turned her arm to look at the part of the bullet, and then snorted, unexpectedly—

The next moment, her half-length hair suddenly turned snow-white.

The deep, bloody wound on her arm was rapidly healing, and the surface of her skin was soon restored to its previous unscathed state.

Saigo's pupils shrank suddenly!

“...... Rakshasas!" he shouted.

This terrifying image finally confirmed her identity—indeed the Rakshasa created by the Shinsengumi.

However, this realization came too late.

He didn't have time to be angry or proud of his latest discovery when he felt a sharp tingling in his waist and leg almost at the same time!

At that moment, the flesh and blood of his waist and legs seemed to have lost their strength and could no longer support his massive body, and he fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

He struggled, barely bracing himself up with his arms, and looked down—

only to see that the clothes around his waist and legs had been soaked with blood.

Oh. He thought a little sluggishly.

It turned out that he was shot.
