Late at night, the crowds on the streets finally subsided.

As the streets gradually emptied, some shops began to prepare for closing.

In the shadows around the corner, Willow Springs, looking in the direction of the three bridges.

...... There was no movement.

She sighed.

"It's not scientific...... It's not really going to Shikokuya...... is it," she muttered to herself with a black line on her face.

Then, he turned around and took the little burden that he had been holding in his hand since he went out.

At first, it may have been that the Witch Judge had asked him to carry the burden in order to strengthen the persuasiveness of the image of the two of them as "strangers", but when he saw her pull out a light green feather weave from the burden and shake it off and drape it on his shoulders, he immediately understood that her plan might not be simple.

"Ahaha, is Xue Ye-kun going back to be the 'Xueye-kun' he was at the beginning? He smiled and asked lightly.

The Lady Inquisitor glanced at him.

"I don't know how much this history has changed by the time-traveling march, but if the situation really forces you to storm Ikedaya or Shikokuya, you might as well disguise it," she said.

Three days and moon sects suddenly stretched out an arm and blocked her in front of her.

"Definitely. He replied quietly, "We haven't even gotten any definite information to determine if there's a 'Snow Leaf Lord' here, so if we attack so rashly, ......."

His coda pauses suggestively.

The Tempestro was silent for a moment, then smiled a wistful smile.

“...... However, that day at the head of the Sanjo Bridge, I heard ......," she whispered.

She stopped at this point, took a deep breath, and then slowly continued.

"I hear you...... Mr. Hijikata, call me by name......"

"I heard you right. He called me 'Kiyohara' clearly—"

There seemed to be some kind of thrilling emotion in her calm tone, as if her voice was trembling slightly because she couldn't bear such a heavy emotion.

Compared with the excitement that she had tried her best to suppress, but still faintly revealed, the attitude of the Three Days Moon Zongjin was extremely calm.

"So...... Do you want to go to his side and answer his call? He asked with a smirk, the faint smile on his lips that seemed unclear.

The female judge seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the melancholy look on her face deepened for a moment.

“...... No. She finally looked away, pulling the corner of the shallot-colored hatori on her shoulder.

"What I'm going to do is make sure he wins. ”

Her voice was almost a whisper, but there was a sense of determination in her tone.

"I'm going to make sure that ...... No matter what kind of people come here, they can't shake it, let alone take away this victory that should have belonged to him. ”

In the middle of the night, the cool wind blew through the eaves, and the shadows of the street corners cast mottled shadows on her face.

Her long eyelashes drooped and trembled slightly, like the wings of a butterfly flapping before it had yet to fly, and after a moment of silence she suddenly raised her eyes, and a faint melancholy on her face swept away.

"Shhhh ...... Now is not the time to talk about this. Someone's coming. She whispered.

Sure enough, there was a sound of footsteps on the long street from far and near, which sounded like a lot of people, but it did not look messy or chaotic, as if there was a sense of courage and confidence because of a certain belief, which came out of the neat footsteps.

The female inquisitor lowered her voice without even looking at it, "...... It is a new selection group. ”

Three Days Moon Sect snorted softly.

"Hehe, you really have faith in them, Lord Temple. ”

At the critical moment of such a task, he didn't say much, and after a slight taunt at the female inquisitor, he grabbed the scabbard of the main knife at his waist, turned and left along the small alleyway between the two houses, and strode away from the direction of the main road, towards the backyard of Ikedaya.

The Female Inquisitor didn't take the time to indulge in nostalgia and sadness.

She lowered her upper body slightly, and in a flash she hid her entire body in the shadows of the corner, silently watching the figures in pale onion haori and gold bowls running down the long street, stopping in front of Ikedaya, which was only a few houses away from her.

"The royal inspection is also!!"

Liu Quan heard a shout not far away.

All right. She closed her eyes.

Has it started......?

She waited in the shadows for a few more minutes, until the men—historically about ten—had all entered the Ikedaya, then lowered her upper body and slipped out of the corner, running in small steps against the shadows of the outer walls of the houses beside the road, and soon approached the open door of the Ikedaya.

At this time, there was already a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing in the room. It is clear that the two sides have already exchanged hands.

As soon as Yanagizumi reached the wall on the side of Ikedaya, he heard Kondo's loud shouting.

"The royal inspection is also! If you resist, you will be beheaded on the spot!"

She gasped.

...... Not the voice she was familiar with. But there is no doubt that this sentence should have been shouted by Kondo, because it sounds a little old and full of the courage that a leader should have. Except for Kondo, this person doesn't think otherwise.

She looked up to the second floor, and saw that the faint candlelight that had flickered in the previous windows had almost all been extinguished. It was dark inside the window, and it was completely impossible to see the movement inside.

Probably the moment they found out that the Shinsengumi had raided Ikedaya, the ronins who were in a secret meeting on the second floor blew out the candles in the house.

She didn't know what the fighting was going on inside Ikedaya, but she knew she couldn't just rush in.

She didn't know why the last time she was at the head of the Sanjo Bridge, Hijikata blurted out "Kiyohara" when he saw her - even if there was a team member surnamed Kiyohara in the Shinsengumi team in history, but that person should definitely be a man through and through, and the deputy commander should be impossible to mistake the appearance of the team members, so why did he directly think that she was the team member surnamed "Kiyohara" in the team?!—— but she knew very well that she didn't know that "Kiyohara" In which team tonight, if she shows up now, she will definitely show her feet!

Liu Quan endured his anxious mood, thought about it for a while, and after several efforts, he put a phantom spell on himself with great difficulty.

After several transactions (?) that she had handed over her special skills and exchanged them for spiritual power (?), not only had she almost lost all her other minor skills—including the life skills of cooking and the rebellious golden finger of the [Ultimate Occlumclumclumy Technique], which she had obtained in the HP world, which was enough to fool even the Dark Lord in front of him—and even the wandless magic that had finally been weakened a lot. It was already a lot of effort and time to get her to cast a phantasmagoric spell now, and the success rate had dropped dramatically.

Fortunately, today's auspicious star shines brightly, and she actually succeeded once.

So when she was full of excitement and was about to rush into Ikedaya with this wonderful stealth technique (fog!) to take a look, she suddenly felt that the earthen bell that she had randomly stuffed in her front placket from the government of the time when she received the [Oshu Raiders] mission suddenly vibrated suddenly!

Although the earthen bell was tucked into the front of her shirt and shook not loud enough, the sound it made was much lower, but it was enough in such a deep night.

Ringing Bell - Dropping Bell -

Liu Quan: !?

She reached out and quickly grabbed the front of the placket that was faintly vibrating (fog!) at the sound of the earthen bell, suppressing the low, clear sound of the earthen bell.

However, this is enough.

The next moment, there was an ominous roar from Ikedaya's house!

Willow Springs: !!

Ah, really...... The Time-Traveling Expedition is also here......

There shouldn't be anything wrong with the tip of the earth bell. She didn't expect that the act of just taking it with her at random after the end of her last mission would now be able to add evidence to her reasoning.

So...... The Time-Traveling March didn't move the location of this secret meeting to Shikokuya or any other location - perhaps because it was too difficult for them to do so?—— but lurked here at Ikedaya, ready to support the excesses of the ronin and attack the Shinsengumi?!

Yanagizumi immediately pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, bowed his head slightly, and rushed into the open gate of Ikedaya.

The bloody breath on her face made her feel slightly.

Then her senses were filled with the sound of slaughter, screams that resounded throughout the house, the tooth-aching squeak of blades piercing human flesh, and the crisp sound of blades made of metal clashing.

Before her eyesight could adjust to this dark room, she suddenly felt—

There was a chilling sword wind in front of him!

She subconsciously leaned back violently!

A blade swept almost close in front of her eyes, and the wind that swept it up even curled the shredded hair of her sideburns and fluttered in the air for a moment.

Liu Quan: ?!

She quickly took two steps back, her right hand quickly reaching for the hilt on her left waist, and the next moment the opposite blade swung down again, and she had drawn her knife at the speed of light, and at the same time, with a flip of her wrist, her own blade had flipped upwards to meet the falling blade of her opponent.

With a local sound, the two knives had already collided in the air.

Naturally, there is no winner or loser at this time. Liu Quan shook his wrist vigorously, and the other party seemed to realize that he couldn't take advantage of the surprise attack alone, so he took the opportunity of her wrist force to withdraw the knife and slash it again from the other direction.

Liu Quan was prepared this time, slightly turned to the side, held the knife with both hands and turned his wrist to hold the opponent's knife, took advantage of the situation to be short, slid two steps to the side like a swimming fish, staggered his body with the opponent, his hand shook, and the blade was separated from the opponent's blade. In the next moment, she grabbed the moment when the opponent's knife had not yet been chopped, her wrist flipped, and the knife drew a more than half a circular arc in the air, and when it fell, the blade happened to be aimed at the opponent's right ribs, and she slashed directly into it with a light forward, cutting through the softest and most fragile flesh on the opponent's waist-

The other party let out a scream!

Liu Quan didn't use his strength to split the opponent's ribs and stab him fatally, but just took advantage of the opportunity when the other party retreated again and again because of the pain, and saw that the opponent was retreating just to give herself a passage to the second floor - her previous [Advanced Light Skill] skill had almost been converted into spiritual power, so now she couldn't jump up to the second floor as soon as she stepped on the window frame like she did back then - she turned around and rushed there!

However, the moment she staggered by that opponent, the moonlight shining in the large open window on the first floor just happened to be projected on her face.

The man who covered his right rib and grinned in pain suddenly screamed as soon as he raised his eyes.

"You, you're ——! yesterday in the house...... Right, the new ......"

Before he could spit out the pronunciation of the last word "group", Liu Quan turned his head abruptly and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense!"

At the same time, she unceremoniously raised her right hand and smack-

Slam your opponent's face with the back of the knife.

Two tubes of blood immediately burst out of the ronin's nose and fell to the ground with a thud.
