At sunset, Yanagisen came to Asakusa.
The sky was overcast and gloomy all day, and the wind was not light. It looks like it's going to rain – maybe in this kind of island country, a typhoon is coming.
It was nearly dusk, and large dark clouds rolled in the sky. The sunset hung weakly in a corner of the sky, and most of it was obscured.
Liu Quan looked up at the sky, smiled and sighed.
“...... It's really the atmosphere of the final battle. She said as if talking to herself.
Then she turned her head and saw the huge main entrance of Sensoji Temple.
Previously, the system bacteria once mockingly said that the main gate of Sensoji Temple had been burned down in the first year of Keio, and it would not be rebuilt until a hundred years later, and the huge lantern with the two big characters "Kaminarimon" written on it hanging under the gate was also built and hung at that time. And in this world, this famous place appeared so early, and it is also because of the setting of the fan-pen stroke of the fan-in author-in other words, everything in this world that does not correspond to historical facts, is absurdly real.
Speaking of which, perhaps the world itself can be regarded as a huge, historically revisionist phantom—an existence that should be destroyed by the Inquisitor, the Sword Man, and the Prosecutor?
Thinking back again, a while ago, she was invited to come here with Xiao Yi, originally to come to see the play, but the play was not good, but she also took the opportunity to tease Xiao Yi and felt the power of healing (no).
Liu Quan clenched his hands into fists, lowered his gaze and smiled silently.
At that time, you really didn't think that this was the place of the final battle?
The wind began to scream. The dark clouds in the sky gradually rolled and formed, moving over to cover the sun, which seemed to be weak. The open space in front of Sensoji Temple was empty.
It looks like it's going to rain heavily.
The wind blew across the clearing, and the leaves that had been blown off the treetops flew by her feet in a curl.
She remembered that in the real world, she seemed to have read a travelogue about Sensoji Temple by chance, and she had almost forgotten what it was talking about, and only one sentence of the author's random emotion impressed her.
The author said, "The original imagination of the empty and grand Kaminari Gate and the square in front of the gate are actually not very big, and they may not even be able to fit all the old ladies dancing in the square dance in our community."
At that time, she had stared at this sentence and laughed for a while. Who knew that today she would face such a huge Kaminari Gate and such an empty square.
...... Sure enough, it's an unscientific setting that will be eliminated by the sword man. She thought.
She laughed leisurely. Then raise the sound a little.
"If you're here, please come out, don't waste time, I say?"
Her voice fell in the wind, and after a moment's pause, a man suddenly walked out of the oversized Thunder Gate.
Liu Quan stared at the other party, and it was not until the other party walked a few meters in front of her and stopped, that she slowly pulled the corners of her lips.
"It's a pity. ...... Sure enough, it's you, Miss Ikuko. She said.
The main mission target that the system fungus had been asking her to pay attention to—the "visitor from another world"—was indeed Ikuko Kirino, not Sokin Mikazuki.
Ryuzumi remembers that when she first came to this world, she was explained by the system bacteria why she stayed in this world for too long to complete a more important mission—that is, because the last time she came to this world, she fought with Kujo Michikiyo, a traverser, without the system issuing a mission, and finally solved the other party.
Although she said that if she didn't make a move at the time, the system bacteria would sooner or later issue a correction mission to clear the nine Daoqing - because he had interfered with too much of the normal plot development of the world and disrupted the balance - but it was too early for her to defeat it neatly, so the plot created a subtle loophole that developed for several years, and even today it has begun to be subtle and must be fixed.
So now, is it the right time for the system bacteria to clear up Ikuko Kirino, a traverser, in order to save the world?
Liu Quan sighed slightly.
But on the contrary, Ikuko Kirino, who was standing opposite her, showed a smug look of heaven in my hands.
"Poor fellow, do you know how you show your feet?" she asked triumphantly.
Willow Springs is a little funny.
In fact, she would love to say that she doesn't mind the answer to this question too much, but the villain always dies of talking too much, and it doesn't hurt to let the other party say more. So she followed the other party's words and asked, "...... How?"
Ikuko Kirino raised her chin triumphantly.
"Goro Fujita - his real name is 'Saito Ichi', right?"
Liu Quan's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.
Ikuko Kirino smiled.
"Fortunately, before coming here, I had a minimum understanding of the history of this era - if you weren't a crossing girl, with your status, there would be no need to look at a small patrol so differently...... Only the brain-dead fans of the Shinsengumi would still favor the losers at such a moment-hey, let me ask you, how long have you been here?Have you met the rest of the Shinsengumi?Isamu Kondo?Toshizo Hijikata?Soji Okita?Keisuke Yamanan......"
She smiled, and in a contemptuous tone, she said the names that Liu Quan had once been so familiar with. At the same time, she was also observing Liu Quan's expression, trying to find her flaws in it, or shake her emotions and will.
Liu Quan took a deep breath silently.
"Correct. She abruptly interrupted Ikuko Kirino's list of names.
Ikuko Kirino raised an eyebrow. "What did you say?"
Liu Quan suddenly hooked the corners of his lips slightly.
"I said, I'm really on the side of the Shinsengumi. ”
She said quietly.
Ikuko Kirino looked surprised and playful. “...... Are you crazy? Don't you know that in this era, they are all in the past tense of extinction?"
Willow Springs' smile.
"You're right. ”
"However, I'm their brain-dead fan. ”
"In the final analysis, whether you and I come from, whether it is the new government or the shogunate, who is right and who is wrong, who wins and who loses, it has nothing to do with us. So I'm like, I'll just be refreshed and be on my favorite side—"
Her smile is crisp and candid.
"The people you are talking about......"
"Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata, Soji Okita, Keisuke Yamanan...... There are also Fujido Heisuke, Nagakura Shinhachi, Harada Sanosuke ......"
She slowly pronounced the names of her companions, and the feeling of each syllable slipping through the tip of her tongue seemed to bring warm ripples deep inside.
"Also, Saitoichi. ”
"I love them all. I love it. She said.
Ikuko Kirino glared at her with a look that looked at the snake spirit.
"It's so neat to put all the chips on the losing side...... A time-traveling woman like you is either brain-dead or a Mary Sue who thinks she will win......" she commented unceremoniously.
Liu Quan bent his eyebrows.
"No, I don't think I've won anything. After all, everyone is gone...... The fate of Shinsengumi is no different from history......"
"Kondo-kun is still martyred in Itabashi, and Heisuke-kun is no longer there...... Zuo Zhijun does not know his whereabouts...... And Mr. Sannan—"
Ikuko Kirino's eyes widened with every word of Yanagizumi.
"Are you ......!?Are you familiar with them?—...... way of calling them?"
Liu Quan did not answer her words.
"Chief Si-jun, you're probably not here, aren'......?"
After all, when counting the number of "all Rakshasas in this world" this morning, the system bacteria once said that the only Rakshasa who is alive now is herself.
"And Mr. Hijikata......"
Why didn't the system bacteria tell her what happened to this person now, probably because she was afraid that her head would be hot and she would really rush to Ezo and delay the normal progress of the task?
She raised her eyes slightly, looking directly at the smug girl not far away.
"You look really good...... she didn't hesitate to praise her opponent.
Ikuko Kirino glared at her with the eyes of "Oh my God, this person in front of him is a complete snake spirit".
Liu Quan wanted to laugh a little.
The drama of snake spirit disease has not been performed for a long time. Now it seems that I haven't forgotten.
"It seems that I think I can stand up to the whole world by myself, and I have the last laugh...... Just like me many years ago. ”
She coughed and swallowed back the next line that was about to pop out almost smoothly, "Your shameless appearance is very much my charm back then".
Ikuko Kirino: ?!
“...... Sounds like you're an old-timer. She quickly calmed down, and did not forget to stab Liu Quan with a backhand in time. "It's so vicissitudes of life to speak......"
Liu Quan smiled.
"Indeed, older than you. She admitted unexpectedly and frankly.
"If you want to get to know them in time for the Shinsengumi to shine...... It's true that it's impossible to be too young today. She said.
Ikuko Kirino's eyebrows gradually lowered.
"Who the hell are you?!" she asked in a somewhat scary-sounding tone.
Liu Quan smiled and asked, "Did you invite me here today just to ask me this?"
Although Ryuzumi also used a slightly provocative tone to counter the other party, Ikuko Kirino seemed to be quite calm so far.
She blinked, a little arrogant.
"Of course not. She said.
"But—" She suddenly snuffed out her voice again.
"Doesn't seem to hurt to ask a little gossip to satisfy your curiosity before killing you?" she even had a hint of a smile in her final note.
Liu Quan sighed, as if he was not so surprised.
"Ah~Ahhhh
Ikuko Kirino's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes. ...... The traverser in this world, in the end, I am enough. ”
The next moment, her still beautiful face suddenly distorted.
"So- I had to ask you to die!!"
Her right arm shook suddenly. In the next instant, a small pistol appeared in her right hand!
The pistol was extremely delicately made, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed in the direction of the opposite willow spring.
Liu Quan shook slightly. And Ikuko Kirino already smiled proudly.
"Whatever your name is, die!"
With a bang, she aimed at Liu Quan and pulled the trigger.
The author has something to say: May 8:
I'm so sorry!Last night, the author's head hurt so much that it exploded.,So I went to bed early.。。。
Tomorrow's update should still be in the afternoon to evening, and I'll write it as soon as possible.
Grandpa is expected to appear in one or two chapters, and his role can be touched.
Given that the author has not yet come out of the grandfather, so... You know, hey, hey, hey
Of course, I want to say that the ending I arranged for him can be written in any direction in the end, so he is not without a chance, so everyone can continue to milk me and get out of grandpa ~~
However, I haven't come out yet, and sure enough, this game is not suitable for Africans.
