The two of them came to a teahouse directly opposite the entrance to the alley where the fief house was located.

Maybe it's the recent festival that has caused a lot of traffic, and the boss looks a little sleepy-eyed and tired. However, when I saw them enter the store, I hurriedly cheered up to meet them.

Liu Quan chose a table by the window and ordered tea and dumplings briefly. When the tea and dumplings were served, she spread her hands at the surprised Mikazuki Sect across the table and said, "Please use it." - Think of it as a reward for going into battle. ”

The three days of the moon sect slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and really picked up a string of dumplings and brought them to his mouth.

"Well, what an unexpected benefit. He smiled and said, "How about Xue Ye-kun also come with a string?"

His gaze paused slightly on the face of Liu Quan, who was sitting opposite, and a smile appeared in his slightly curved eyes.

Liu Quan: "......"

She knew what he meant—probably laughing at her disguise that she had overexerted too much.

Before coming here, in order to prevent the existence of a "Kiyohara Yukiba" in this chaotic world - the last time Hijikata blurted out "Kiyohara" when she was out of battle at Sanjo Bridge, in fact, it had already hinted that this kind of bad coincidence did exist - in order not to go, she also deliberately turned her face a little yellower again, put a tear mole on the corner of her eye, and drew her eyebrows a little thicker and blacker.

So now after some ugliness of herself, her appearance can be said to be more than 50% off. and Fu Fushen, who is famous for the most beautiful of the five swords in the world, sat across the table from the Three Sun Moon Sect, and the stark contrast in terms of appearance was enough to amaze the onlookers.

Liu Quan rolled his eyes and replied angrily, "No way, I can't do it if I don't do it...... I'm glad that my misfortune can make you happy!"

The Three Sun Moon Sect raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a look full of interest. He took a bite of the dumpling, stretched out his other hand to bring the teacup in front of him, and responded with a kind smile: "Well...... You can't say the same...... If you have tea and snacks, don't you feel happy all in all?"

Liu Quan: "...... Not happy. ”

Three Days Moon Sect near: "Ahahaha, I seem to have heard this sentence somewhere." ”

Liu Quan: "...... It must have been from the left-hand writer. That's right, I learned from them. ”

The Three Moons laughed loudly.

That kind of laughter seems to contain a little real happiness, and her painting style is not at all different from her painting style who is so nervous that she has a stomachache at the moment, it seems too relaxed, a little bit of a passer-by who has nothing to do with herself, but Liu Quan for some reason, he also slowly relaxed the tight lines at the corners of his lips in this laughter, lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea.

"Wait a minute...... If the time-traveling march appears, you'll have to deal with those monsters, okay? ”

In an atmosphere that suddenly seemed extraordinarily harmonious, she slowly drank tea and suddenly asked.

The Three Days Moon Sect was nearly stunned, and the pleasant laughter gradually subsided.

"Ahaha, of course. …… But what is Yukiba-kun going to do?" he asked seemingly casually.

Before answering him, Liu Quan blinked, looking at the tea stalk floating on the water in the cup.

Then, she replied simply, "I, of course, I'm going to follow the deputy chief." ”

The breath of the Three Days Moon Sect was slightly stagnant.

However, she did not pause for long, but continued to speak, in a very natural manner.

—thought I'd answer that. ”

She raised her head and looked at Fu Fushen, the most handsome of the five swords in the world sitting opposite her, and the corners of her lips suddenly curled slightly, revealing a subtle, somewhat narrow-minded smile.

Three days and moon sect near: "...... Ahahahaha. ”

The laugh he gave back didn't sound genuine at all.

Liu Quan didn't seem to mind, put down the teacup, looked directly at him calmly, and said quietly: "...... Just kidding. ”

"I suspect that the Timetrack March will definitely help the Shinsengumi strengthen their defenses and ensure that the Overzealous Ronin doesn't have a chance to take the guns," she continued...... So, since you're dealing with the Time March, I'm going to fight the Shinsengumi. ”

Three days and moon sect near: "...... Oh?"

Liu Quan smiled.

"You seem surprised?"

Sanri Yuezong snorted slightly, and also put down the teacup, and his slender fingers gently stroked the body of the coarse porcelain teacup.

"A little. He replied bluntly.

"You've cherished your fellow travelers there so much before...... Now he chose to draw a knife against them without hesitation, which is really ...... Ahem, it scared the old man. ”

Perhaps amused by Mikazuki Sone's recent use of Tsurumaru Kuninaga's mantra to describe his feelings, Yanagizumi burst out laughing.

"Because, I want to face them well. A shallow smile appeared at the corner of her lips, as if she was really a little amused by the words of the Three Sun Moon Sect just now, but there was a hint of seriousness in her tone.

"Even if they are no longer my companions now...... I'm not going to run away from it. I want to stand in front of them with dignity, show them the best version of myself, and do my best to accomplish what I have to accomplish now, so that I can live up to the 'Kiyohara Yukiba' who once knew them and fought side by side with them—that's what I thought. ”

The Three Moons stared at her closely, and the residual smile on his face seemed to disappear imperceptibly. There seemed to be a hint of solemnity in his eyes when he looked at her now, and he didn't speak for a long time, but suddenly without warning, he reached out and touched her head across the table.

Liu Quan: "What——!!"

The Three Days Moon Sect smiled.

"Ahaha, Xue Ye-kun, you said something very good. He said slowly, like a time-honored, kind and kind elder.

Liu Quan: "......"

She looked speechless, and before she could say anything to fight back against the black-bellied old man, she heard a rather rapid and messy running sound from far and near outside the window!

Her left hand, which she had placed on the table, slowly clenched into a fist, and her right hand reached for the teacup with great restraint, and held it up to her lips as if she were a real tea guest, and with this gesture she quietly turned her face slightly to look at the source of the sound.

At such a glance, she suddenly showed a stunned look.

Despite her strong self-control, her jaw tensed uncontrollably, and her face turned a little pale from disbelief.

This expression made the Three Days Moon Sect a little surprised, and he cast a glance at the street outside the window, and then showed a look of understanding.

"What's wrong? see someone you know?" he asked.

At the entrance of the alley where the oak house was located, there were originally two or three soldiers dressed in Shinsengumi's light onion feathering. But now, out of nowhere, another group of soldiers who were also dressed in light green feathers came, and after a brief conversation with the few people who had been guarding there before, the tall young man at the head slowly walked into the alley with the hilt of the knife at his waist.

The young man had a long face, not smiling, and his expression was serious, even if he was just walking, his body faintly exuded a sense of sharpness like a famous sword. Though he looked young, the rest of the men who followed him, even those who were clearly older than him, looked at him with awe—a gaze that was absolutely convincing and willing to treat him as their superior.

The Three Sun Moon Sect recently heard his own God Inquisitor sigh imperceptibly.

“…… That person must be Saitoichi. ”

She said slowly.

"Saito Ichi in history...... The real Saito one. She said almost like a whisper.

Three Days and Moon Sect Near: "......"

He didn't respond to her words.

But she didn't seem to expect a response from him.

The moment she saw the real historical figure, the mental shock to herself seemed to have disappeared, and the tone of the female judge regained her composure.

"I actually asked the Shinsengumi to send Saito to guard here...... It's a bit of a hassle. She said as if to herself.

"If only there were a few people who had sent the Ronin in a minute...... I had to help them. ”

She pouted slowly, as if she was very unwilling.

"Ah...... I don't want to do that......"

Mikazuki Sect couldn't help but smile slightly, and the tension after seeing Saito Ichi—although he wasn't the one he was vaguely wary of, he cautiously took advantage of the vantage point where his seat happened to be hidden in the shadows next to the window frame—and the tension he felt after that seemed to disappear a little, and he replied with an unusually gentle attitude: "However, after solving the matter here, you can see the victory of the Shinsengumi again tonight." ”

He smiled pleasantly, as if the nervous vigilance of the street outside the window could not affect him at all.

"You'll be happy in that case, right? Because today is the day the Shinsengumi shine. ”

The Inquisitor turned her gaze back to look at him in a little surprise, and after a moment she suddenly grinned as if she had accepted his words frankly.

"That's true. ”

She replied cheerfully.

"Even if the day begins with a brief setback, it ends with a big victory. ”

"Perhaps this is what it is called: 'Your days on earth will be brighter than the noon, and though there is darkness, it will be like morning.'" ”

She smiled with relief, put down the money on the table, stood up, and reached out to pick up the knife that had been placed on the table.

Because at this moment, at the other end of the street outside the window, there were already five or six men with sneaky whereabouts and cautious attitudes. They all had knives stuck in their waists, and even one was pushing a cart for carrying goods, and when you got closer, you could see them muttering something with indignant expressions as they cautiously probed their way forward.

Liu Quan smiled and sighed.

"Look at them like that. ”

She sighed and whispered in pity.

"You can't beat Saito. The leader of the third group of the Shinsengumi is not a person who has a reputation for nothing......"

She tightened her grip on the scabbard of the sword, strode out of the store, and walked towards the entrance of the alley across the street, following the strange ronins with carts and carts.

"Really...... I can't help it—"

She said angrily, with a big and fast step, as if she would not be able to vent her frustration if she did not do so.

"Tsk! I can only help those idiots. ”

Before she could finish her words, there was a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing in the alley. Then came the sound of people talking and shouting.

Obviously, there was a big fight without saying a word.

"So—why the hell are you so busy looking for death!"

The inquisitor whispered in anger, holding the hilt of the sword at her waist with one hand, and rushed into the alley after a few steps.
