The other party let out an earth-shattering roar, which made the expression on Liu Quan's face subconsciously froze.

Then, as reason slowly returned, her eyes widened, and she watched the man in front of her stand in front of her with the scabbard at his waist in one hand and the famous "Wazumi Shoukanedachi" in the other.

"Why didn't you even pull out your knife?!Are you here to die?!...... No, I remember that you didn't have diarrhea and almost took a breath today! Why are you standing here waiting for the ronin to slash you? You're not on Kondo-kun's list......, are you?"

Willow Springs' staring at him blankly, letting him yell at her like this. Finally, he slowly bent his eyebrows, and in his roar, he smiled at him stupidly.

"I ...... I'm here to support you, Vice-Chancellor. She whispered.

The roar of the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Suizo, finally stopped for a moment. Then, his brow furrowed into a pimple.

"Support?" he repeated, with a miserable look on his face, glancing at her stupid smile, and with a look of "Oh my God, my vision is going to be polluted by this stupid smile!"

"You haven't even drawn a knife, come out, talk about support!" he said in a gruff voice, "Our Shinsengumi aren't so strict, and people who can't walk with diarrhea have to drag them out and charge for us! So you're—"

Liu Quan smiled and sighed slightly.

"So, Deputy Chief, can you not mention my diarrhea? There was a hint of helplessness in her smile, "Okita-kun said it just now, and I said it again when I came to you...... It's normal to have diarrhea in the summer...... That doesn't excuse me from playing. ”

Hijikata was stunned.

"What about Kondo-kun? how is he doing?"

By the time they had spoken briefly, the men he had brought with him had all crowded past the two of them and poured into Ikedaya. Now it sounded like the angry scolding and screams of the ronin, both inside the house and in the courtyard, and the situation was reversed in an instant, and the Shinsengumi gained an overwhelming advantage.

Liu Quan couldn't decide what to say, so he had to respond ambiguously: "Well...... Ah, it's not bad......"

Hijikata gave her a fierce look.

"I'm going to support Kondo-kun first. He said decisively, glaring at her sternly.

"But don't think that you can just leave it at that! If your subordinates don't obey, they must be corrected!"

Liu Quan: "......"

Ah, the deputy chief didn't say anything like "Shidao is not enlightened, go to seppuku" or "attack without an order, violate the law in the game, go to seppuku" or something like that, so it means that he is still quite tolerant of her, do you want to kneel down and thank you?

After thinking for a second, Liu Quan leaned sideways, and his body language fully expressed the sense of urging "So what are you waiting for, Deputy Chief, let's go quickly".

Earthwork: "......"

He glared at her fiercely, only to see the guy standing in the courtyard at night with an innocent smile on his face and a pure and harmless face.

This guy seems to have been through a fight, his clothes and hair are a little messy, and there seem to be unknown dark marks on the hem of the placket - like blood?

Hijikata wanted to interrogate him again, but found that this was really not the time to speak properly. He had to clear his throat in exasperation, glared at her again, turned his head and rushed into Ikedaya.

Liu Quan: "......"

She didn't rush into Ikedaya with the deputy chief. She just stood in place, watching the back of the earth, the smile on her face slowly faded, and a trace of extremely complicated emotions gradually surfaced.

"This time...... You don't have to face the incompetent people who come to take the credit alone at the three bridges, do you? ”

She muttered to herself softly and silently.

“…… But that's fine. You've finally done what you've always wanted to do – and that's to fight alongside Kondo-kun in Ikedaya. ”

Even though he wasn't the lieutenant she knew—even though they looked and sounded unexpectedly similar—she still felt a pang of sorrow and a pang of joy that his wish had been granted.

The night wind blew away the shouting and killing voices that surrounded her. Suddenly, in the shadows behind him, someone spoke.

"Lord Temple, do you want to go in and continue the fight? ”

Liu Quan: !?

Her body shuddered. But she didn't look back to see who they were.

She just stared quietly at Ikedaya, which was close at hand, and said slowly, "No...... There's nothing I have to do here. ”

The man behind him let out a low laugh.

"Hahaha, yes. ”

The arch of Fu Fushen's jaw seemed to flicker in the shadows, and Liu Quan felt that he was getting closer to his back, and the breath that came out of his mouth as he spoke was even blowing on her sideburns and ears, a little itchy.

"There were also a few time-retrospective marches in the backyard just now...... Hawkers, there are not many people, and it was easy to solve the ......"

Although it seemed to be reporting on the progress of the mission, the way he spoke so close to her ear had a subtle sense of charm that made her almost shiver unconsciously.

Perhaps sensing her discomfort, the Three Days Moon Sect let out another low laugh.

"Hehehe, is the main hall nervous?"

He seemed to be closer to her ear, and asked with a smile, "So, why is the main hall nervous? Is it because you are standing in the Ikedaya where the Shinsengumi shine, but you are worried that the other side of you will be discovered by those former companions?"

Liu Quan was silent for a moment, lowered his voice and replied briefly, "...... Exactly. ”

Sanri Moon Zongjin didn't seem to expect her to admit it frankly, and after a pause, he said: "Heh~ The people you care about are busy with other things now, and no one notices you...... So, you don't have to worry about it?"

Liu Quan: "......"

This is the skill of stabbing people's hearts without moving! If Honmaru recognizes the second, no one will recognize the first!

She took a deep breath, feeling an indescribable depression and a little depressed, but she didn't know where to start.

She was silent for a moment, then pressed the hilt of the knife on her waist and said in a calm and rigid tone, "Has anyone else been in contact?

Faced with the attitude of the female god judge who didn't accept the invitation at all and took care of the left and right, the Three Days Moon Sect seemed to raise his eyebrows in surprise, and then seamlessly switched to the official mode, and replied, "No, no one has reported the abnormal situation yet." But ......"

He paused, his gaze glazed over.

"The fact that Ichi, who is in charge of the direction of Shikokuya, did not return here with Hijikata-kun's team is a bit of a concern. ”

"It stands to reason that if you send the two of them in the direction of Shikokuya, then you want them to do more than just monitor the situation of the time-retrace march, but also ...... The situation of the Shinsengumi team. Now that both teams of the Shinsengumi have converged here, it proves that, as in history, the Radical Ronin was indeed discovered at the Ikedaya meeting, so it would be right to return here if the marching back in time was going to be difficult......

The Three Days Moon Sect used his usual unhurried tone to make a calm analysis, but when he said this, he suddenly paused, and then strengthened his tone a little.

“…… Unless, unless, something unexpected stumbled their footsteps. ”

Liu Quan: !?

The author has something to say: October 11:

Today's first update, everyone eats first~~

Because today is also arranged for a whole day to do, so if the second watch is not in time today, tomorrow, in short, I remember the double watch, and it will definitely be reached this week.

Anyway, the author's face has been extremely black recently.

The knife man often misses the steps halfway to Edo Castle and is thrown back to Honmaru without a key

It is also a common occurrence to not add a single step after the battle

I finally got more than 20 keys after walking half the map, but the game suddenly made an error and quit automatically

When I re-enter the game, not only is the key gone, but the token is gone

It's okay to open the box, the face is not black or white

However, if I want to get a set of paper and pencils, I can't get it until the last box

This game is against me!
