A green light shot out from the tip of her wand!

That "Kirino Toshiaki" didn't seem to have the power of her final blow, nor did he even think that she would be able to do such an almost demonic magic - he didn't even have time to fully reveal the smug and malicious smile on his face before the green light hit him.

Without uttering a word, he fell to the ground with a thud and stopped moving.

Hijikata watched in astonishment as all these unexplainable things were happening before his eyes, and he watched the murderous and dominant opponent fall silently and breathlessly, and before he could ask a surprised question, he felt his arm sink suddenly—it was Kiyohara Yukiha, who seemed to have used all his strength, and fell back into the crook of his arm.

He hurriedly lowered his head to check on her condition.

Her eyes were half-closed, her long eyelashes trembling spasmodically, her chest heaving, her breathing was light and rapid, and the right hand that had just swung it and almost hit him in the face had fallen down again, and was now so soft across her abdomen, but her fingers were still weakly pinching the little stick that had just glowed green.

She's alive. But it looked very bad—the realization made him anxious. He didn't dare to move her, let alone shake her, and even gave up the idea of putting her on the ground for the time being, and he went over to check the life and death of "Kirino Toshiaki", and he could only call her name out loud with anxiety:

“...... Snow Leaves, Snow Leaves!!...... Are you okay?!"

She suddenly appeared ten years after nothing was heard from, and everything that happened after that is up to today's conversation with this "Kirino Toshiaki" and her final blow to "Kirino Toshiaki...... Everything was full of mysteries that he couldn't understand.

Everything seems to be inexplicable by common sense. But now, he doesn't want to get to the bottom of anything.

Just as many years ago, in the middle of the night in the Nishi Honganji Temple, he was full of anger and confusion, glaring at the general of the Nishi Oni as he handed her a letter.

Either the miraculous power she had shown before that had suppressed the general of the Western Oni, or the sadness she had shown after receiving the letter from the governor of Chōshū, had puzzled, troubled, and bewildered, and he had tried to have a good conversation with her that night, but the conversation had turned into a savage, angry one-sided roar, and if it hadn't been for Kondo-san's timely appearance □□in the round, the scene would have been so thick that it would have been impossible to conclude—

But what's the matter?

Wonderful strength, outstanding swordsmanship, brave and fearless of death, tenacious character, inexplicable origins, and mysterious past......

Or even the appearance that has been praised by others, or those noisy fame-

In the end, it all boils down to one thing, the most important thing.

Shared beliefs.

It is precisely because of that belief as a support, and with her with that belief as a support, that he has come so far.

What did that "Kirino Toshiaki" say just now?...... It seems to have been said that he, as a "Hijikata year old", should not have lived until now?

Yes, he should have died at Hakodate, on the way to Bentendaiba, and it was she who forcibly pulled him back from that fate, and then gave him a belief that he could live and continue to pursue-

Today, he finally saw the end of that faith, the light that led to the end of the long, dark road.

The Satsuma people finally met with their defeat and end. He also fought with them in the name of "New Brigade" -

Isn't that supposed to be happy?

Saigo Takamori died, and Kirino Toshiaki, who had captured Aizu Castle in the first place, also died. There are many more capable men of the Satsuma sect, all of whom have reached the end of their lives on this day......

However, there is another man...... One, the one who continued to push him after the name "Shinsengumi" died out, giving him a reason to continue working hard to the end, shouldn't have reached the end of his life on this day?!

He endured the intense unwillingness, grief, and disbelief that was tumbling in his chest, and he shivered all over.

He bowed deeply, his eternally straight back bent, his body hunched, his forehead pressed against the top of her head in his arms, his right hand covered, and he clung to her cold, folded hand on his abdomen, tears running down the bridge of his nose and into her hair.

"We ...... We won, Yukiba...... No...... Can't you stay......?"

He heard his own voice, trembling so violently. The throat constricted, and the sound that came out was twisted and hoarse, almost just stiff monosyllables, squeezing out between the teeth little by little. A large lump was clung to his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Later...... Later we can ...... I've been to countless summer festivals...... Can I catch a goldfish for you? You can keep it in your room......."

Suddenly, he heard her low voice.

“...... That's, it's decided—"

Earthwork:!!!

He straightened up and stared at her face in astonishment.

Kiyohara Yukiha also raised his head slightly, opened his eyes, and looked up at him. Her face was pale, but there was no pain in her expression, only calm.

Hijikata was stunned. He wasn't sure what that looked, so he could only stare at her and mutter, "...... Snow leaves?"

She looked up at him wordlessly, then slowly curled the corners of her lips, sighed as if silently, and replied in a low voice, "...... Mr. Ah Sui. ”

Hijikata looked at her face with a little anxiety and a little expectation. She didn't look as bad as Yamanan or Heisuke in Sendai Castle, and she didn't seem to be in that much pain, so he asked cautiously, "...... How do you feel?"

Liu Quan stared at his face and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This would make her eyes focus a little dazed, and then she could see a suspicious glint of water in the corner of his eye. The faint wetness coming from the hair on the top of the head also seems to hint at an incredible fact-

Ah. She laughed and sighed.

can make the leader of the "Wolf of Mibu" who crisscrossed Kyoto back then cry, she must have achieved a very remarkable achievement, right?

With a slight flick of her right hand, the wand vanished. But before she could speak, the mechanical voice of the system bacteria exploded in her brain.

[Warning!Warning!Player's health in this world has dropped to the limit!Coming to activate the automatic ejection protector——]

Miscellaneous...... What do you mean by an "automatic ejection saver"?!

Liu Quan was surprised and stunned for a while.

Even in the previous decisive battle with Mikazuki Sokin in front of Sensoji Temple, when her body turned to ashes, she had negotiated it with the system bacteria, and some time ago, she had suffered the shot shot from the shadows for the deputy chief ten years ago, and the system bacteria did not issue this kind of "health limit warning" at that time.

...... However, come to think of it, there is no one in those two worlds like "Kirino Toshiaki" - since it is impossible to know his real name, let's use this name to refer to him - this kind of scheming and ruthless God Inquisitor is on a mission and intends to erase her as a fallen God Inquisitor.

Finally, the world can't afford two God Inquisitors to be online at the same time, and one of them is still reckless in disregard of the historical context.

Liu Quan wanted to say something to Hijikata, but suddenly felt a strange feeling in his body-

The next second, she heard Hijikata's panicked and trembling voice—she had never heard him speak in such a tone—as if she had suddenly realized something, desperate and panicked, refusing to believe the reality before him, a voice that sounded like a wounded beast.

"No, no...... Snow Leaf ...... Fast...... Stop......!"

Liu Quan was a little surprised. She slowly lifted the left hand with the strongest feeling of strangeness in front of her eyes, only to find that her fingertips were slowly disappearing!

Exactly, she is starting from her fingertips and gradually turning to ashes!

Although this speed was much slower than that of Yamanan Heisuke who was in Sendai Castle at the beginning, it didn't take long from the time when the system alarm was just now that the first knuckle closest to her fingertip had disappeared.

Her eyes widened in astonishment, and she let out an almost non-existent "ah" sound in her throat, and even her slow-beating heart skipped a beat.

What's going on......!!, if you just die out in this world...... Could it be that she can't come back in the future, does it?!

She suddenly tilted her head back and looked at Hijikata's face.

The composure on that face that had always been there was completely gone, just like her fingertips. At the moment, his face did not look much better than hers, his expression was pale, and his eyes widened, as if he stared at her so hard that her process of turning into ashes could be stopped.

This look of being like a panicked child appeared on his face, and she couldn't help but feel a tingle in her heart, and at the same time a trace of pity floated up.

So she stretched out her left hand to caress his cheek. But the remaining fingertips were turning to ashes before they touched his cheek, and she had to stretch her arms out again and again. Finally, Hijikata couldn't take it anymore, lifted the hand that had covered her right hand and grabbed the left hand that she was reaching out to her, and then pressed the disappearing left hand to his cheek with a little roughness.

Liu Quan was a little surprised, his eyes softened when he looked at him, and he looked at him deeply with a hint of connivance and apology, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Hijikata...... I'm sorry. ”

The author has something to say: Day:

This is the manuscript box...... Because the author is gray in the Pacific Ocean.

And then because the author is the kind of guy who is more inspired on the eve of something else,
