This is simply a proposition - if Xiao Yi knew this stalk, he would definitely complain like this.

But he didn't know. So now he just looked grim, frowned, and had an unacceptable expression, staring at Kiyohara Yukiha's face with an unusually heavy expression.

However, Kiyohara Yukiha's expression was calm throughout. Even with such a difficult and sharp question, she still had an almost indifferent look on her face, and did not avoid his gaze, just looked back at him quietly. Her right hand drooped, and she still held the blood-stained sword in her hand.

Goro Fujita was silent for a long time. The night breeze blew between the two of them, and they could even hear each other's slightly heavy breathing. That probably shows that the hearts of both parties are not as calm as they appear on the surface.

Finally, he spoke.

"There's no reason to draw a sword against your fellow – I used to say that. ”

He took a small deep breath, as if it were a very difficult decision to make, but now he had made up his mind to go in the direction he had chosen.

"Yukiba-kun...... It's my companion. He said.

"No matter how many times...... I'll be there to support you. ”

The calmness on Kiyohara's face, like an iron mask of defense, collapsed, and a clear look of surprise appeared for a moment.

"W-......?!" she muttered.

Man, once you have confirmed your principles, your superficial insistence will crumble very quickly.

Thinking so, Fujita Goro couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I said, I believe you. ”

"For me, everything Yukiha-kun does must have a valid reason......

"Yukiha-kun has never done anything to disappoint me. ”

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

The confusion, incomprehension, doubts, and worries that had always been filled in his chest, the blankness of all the things that had happened since he left Aizu, how she finally parted with the deputy chief, what position the deputy chief still occupied in her heart, what the whereabouts of the deputy chief, what life and death, all these things about the deputy chief had caused great confusion in his heart, and made him stagnant.

But now he felt that although it was dark and late at night, there was a rising sun in front of him, illuminating the way he wanted to go.

Maybe it's because I've finally made up my mind.

"I'm not saying that Yukiba-kun hasn't done anything wrong at all...... It's like I disguised myself as a man and infiltrated the Shinsengumi in the past, and deceived everyone, even if there is a valid reason, this is a mistake......"

He saw her eyes widen in surprise and wanted to laugh for some reason.

And he did.

"In the past, I was messing around with the general director, and I always made the deputy chief so angry that he roared in the cantonment......"

The corners of his lips are slightly hooked, and his tone is soft and calm, as if he is quietly reminiscing about a good past, without any other negative elements of doubt or criticism.

"It's a woman, and she's always messing around...... A man dares to rush into the encirclement of the enemy...... Even when I went into battle myself, I didn't worry that much......"

Kiyohara Yukiha: "...... Huh?"

The aura seems to have reversed.

Fujita Goro continued, "However, such a Yukiha-kun will give people a feeling that they can trust with peace of mind. ”

Kiyohara Yukiha: "...... Huh?"

Goro Fujita: "It's no longer the time when swords can decide the winner...... None of us are part of the Shinsengumi anymore, however, I still think that Yukiba-kun is my companion. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly stammered inexplicably.

"So, so...... Such a snow leaf ......"

His face suddenly flushed in the moonlight.

"I—I've always been ...... As for it, trust ......"

Kiyohara Yukiha tilted his head slightly, as if he realized that he was about to say something terrible, and a somewhat expectant smile appeared on his face.

Goro Fujita was so embarrassed that he seemed to be going to smoke.

“…… No, it's not just ...... Trust. ”

He said, his voice literally floating.

"...... more than trust"

He stammered.

"This ...... Uh, I'm still ......"

He stopped again. After a pause for several seconds, his gaze drifted around, as if his thoughts were confused for a moment.

"That...... I、I know,Yukiba-kun used to ...... Ahem, I admire ...... Deputy Chief. ”

Kiyohara Yukiha's eyebrows furrowed suddenly, with an incredible look of "I was ready to kiss you, but you asked me to listen to this?!".

Fujita Goro didn't notice her expression. No, it's better that he's completely immersed in [how to straighten out the emotions in his mind and express them one by one].

"I used to think that the deputy chief was such a good person, whether it was the shogunate or the Shinsengumi, in the end, I had to rely on the support of the deputy chief to continue to develop......"

The faithful deputy chief blows the little one and goes online again.

"What Xue Ye-kun sees must be the deputy chief. I—I think...... This is understandable. ”

He spoke bitterly, lowered his head again and thought about it seriously, and then summoned up all his courage.

"I don't know what's going on in Hakodate...... However, even Yukiba-kun, who has become a rakshasa, is still fighting to fulfill the faith of his companions. I guess it's enough for me to know that. ”

He looked up and looked straight into her face with clear eyes.

"Such a Yukiha-kun ......"

He said firmly.

"I want to believe. ”

Xiao Yi's calm and reliable voice, with a bit of his characteristic magnetism, echoed in the alley.

"Get past the terrible conditions that fool everyone's eyes—"

His hand pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist, paused slightly, and tightened his grip on the hilt.

Willow Springs: Familiar with that action. It was a subconscious action every time Xiao Yi made a decision, or wanted to overcome the confusion in his heart.

"No matter how bad things seem to you......"

"I want to believe in you too. ”

Goro Fujita...... No, saito, the leader of the Shinsengumi Sanban group, said.

Liu Quan slowly curled his eyebrows and smiled.

Then, ignoring the fact that her left hand had just covered the wound under her right shoulder that had been pierced by a bullet and had now healed thanks to the Rakshasa constitution, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and hooked his neck with her left hand.

Goro Fujita: ?!

The next moment, her soft lips covered his lips again.

Her body was close to his, and the movement sent a faint layer of blood to the tip of his nose - it must have come from hers.

Yes, before he arrived, she had slain two bloodthirsty rakshasas who were slaughtering in the streets—the smell of a swordsman after a fierce battle, the smell of blood, the bitter killing intent, the smell of gold and iron on the unsheathed blade, and the smell of dirt on the corners of his clothes.

They never lack these things in their lives. Nor would he pretend to be noble that the presence of these would tarnish her beauty, or diminish his affection for her.

Everything is as familiar as Kyoto many years ago. The streets in the middle of the night, the raging rakshasas, the innocent victims, and the people who are trying their best to pursue the rakshasas, the companions of the Shinsengumi-

The two people who are hugging and kissing now are not Goro Fujita and Noriko Kujo. It's Saito Ichi and Kiyohara Yukiba.

Such a thought came to Fujita's mind for a moment. Then, he closed his eyes, and also stretched out his left hand, wrapped it around her back, supported her body, and pressed her slender and curvaceous body subconsciously against himself, so that the kiss would last longer, deeper—

When they finally separated a little, their breath was a little unstable. They looked at each other, and then laughed almost at the same time. The difference was that she burst out laughing, and he only curled the corners of his lips slightly, and was glad that the night had been able to hide some of the flush that had appeared on his face.

“…… I still have a lot to say to you, but I think we'd better go back now. In order to hide this protruding sense of embarrassment, he said to her with great seriousness.

"When we get back, we'll talk about what I've been investigating these days......

Although at first he only wanted to change the subject, but when he talked about his discovery, his mind seemed to be partially shifted to those things, so he couldn't help but become really serious, and looked at her seriously.

"What did you imply that I was going to investigate...... It's really caring. He said.

"Miss Ikuko Kirino's adoptive father, that Toshiaki Kirino...... He's the guy who led the new government army to attack Aizu in the war. He said word by word, his face tensing unconsciously.

"You used the new identity of 'Kujo Noriko', does it have anything to do with it?"

The smile on her face froze slightly, and then she said in a relaxed tone that was completely different from his serious expression: "This is really very similar to Yijun." ”

Fujita Goro: "Huh?"

Kiyohara Yukiha said with a grin, "No matter what you do, you are very serious...... And if you're serious, you won't be able to distinguish between time and place. ”

Goro Fujita: "...... You don't think you're complimenting me, do you?"

Kiyohara Yukiha smiled and suddenly leaned forward again, and landed a kiss on his lips.

"I'm complimenting you. She said.

"But tonight—" she druffled.

"You see, the moonlight is good. So those bad topics, we can talk about them tomorrow, right?"

Fujita Goro was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at the night sky.

The moon hanging high in the deep blue sky is indeed beautiful.

However, the tone in which she had just said "The moonlight is good tonight" was a bit meaningful, and it made people care for no reason.

Fujita felt his instincts warn him that perhaps he should ask her what was behind the words. But for some reason, he felt as if he didn't need to ask anything.

In the end, he responded to her simply and seriously.

"Ah, tonight's moon is beautiful. ”
