Liu Quan hurriedly followed.

"Mr. Hijikata!!Where are you going?!"

He shouted without looking back: "Yuansang, they are in danger now! We must go to Yodo City to meet them! After all, they are now considered ...... Thieves—"

Liu Quan: !?

She immediately shouted, "I'll go too!!"

Instead of stopping to wait for her, Hijikata quickened his pace.

"I just told you...... Don't always think about going out alone, you still have a group to lead...... Have you forgotten all about jì?!" He didn't forget jì and roared at her, with a sense of irritability in his voice.

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and his steps were paused.

Taking advantage of this time,,The deputy chief has already run away-as the official male protagonist of the original game.,Sure enough, the values are full and not covered!

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and immediately wanted to take a step forward to catch up.

You said that you don't always want to go out alone, but I also said that I want to go out with Mr. Hijikata from the beginning next time.

But as soon as she moved, she was stopped.

She looked back dissatisfied, and found that the person who was holding her was Yamazaki, who was dressed in black.

"The deputy chief just said that I want you to stay and lead the group. "Yamazaki, who is also a [sous chef] and has a friendship with Yanagi Quan, is now with a straight face, and his tone is a bit rigid.

Liu Quan: "...... Since the deputy chief knows that Yodo City is very dangerous now, and he won't let me go alone, won't he run into anything dangerous if he goes alone?!"

Yamazaki was also silent.

"Well, let me go. He said, "All cadres have their own tasks, and only I am the most suitable to go." If there's something that needs to be ordered, I'll be back sooner. ”

Liu Quan tried his best to think about the content of the original game that he remembered.

And then the eggs. It's been a few years since I played this game, and what I should have forgotten and what I shouldn't have forgotten has been cleared out by my own brain. What's worse is that some of the plots are mixed with Gintama's plots, and you can't tell whether it's true or false, and you can't think of anything when you're anxious.

Liu Quan: "...... Damn......"

Saying this to herself, she turned to Yamazaki.

"Then please. She said a little helplessly.

Yamazaki nodded solemnly, turned and galloped away.

However, Yanagiquan, who stayed in the Fushimi Office and commanded the most neat group in the group to prepare for retreat because of the late participation in the battle, was uncertain no matter what.

In fact, no one can really calm down at such a moment. Even the consistently reliable Kou-Xiao Yi will not work.

After sighing for I don't know how many times, Liu Quan finally heard a voice behind him.

"I'll take care of the Ichiban group for the time being. ”

Replacing the bloodstained Haori from earlier, Saito walked behind Yanagizumi, who was sitting there checking the list of items that had to be carried and counted. As if hesitating, he reached out and pressed his hand on Liu Quan's shoulder.

"If you really care about what's going on over there, then you can go and see. His tone was still calm and calm, but a closer look revealed the implicit uncertainty and apprehension.

"Now that the director has been injured and cannot go into battle, the safety of the deputy chief must be guaranteed. ”

Yanagizumi jerked back and looked up at Saito. Just as he lowered his eyes slightly to look at her, their eyes touching slightly in midair.

The next second she had stood up suddenly.

"Yes!" she replied loudly, "Then I'll leave it to you, Yijun!"

Without wasting any more time, she walked straight through the hall and rushed out of the door of the Fushimi Office, which had been damaged by the shelling.

Willow Springs galloped along the dark mountain road.

Hurry, hurry.

It's not the time to stop.

The lungs screamed as they squeezed the last vestiges of stored air, and their ribcage struggled to breathe as if it had been pressed against a heavy stone. The dark road ahead is long and endless, the smell of gunpowder smoke during the day still fills the air, mixed with a faint smell of blood, and through the unexpectedly bright moonlight tonight, you can still see a corpse lying on the side of the road. Among the corpses, there were people wearing the uniforms of the Sacho army, some of them wearing the uniforms of the shogunate army, and even some people in other colors, such as the members of the Mikai group who were also active in Kyoto, and the companions who wore the light green haori of the Shinsengumi.

Liu Quan rushed onto the mountain road at night in one go.

In fact, at this moment, the sky was close to dawn, and the dawn was faint, and a faint blue that was almost very similar to the Haori of the Shinsengumi slowly dyed the entire sky overhead.

This long night is coming to an end. The dawn is coming.

On the quiet mountain road, the air still had a hint of the freshness of night dew, but Liu Quan was already wheezing heavily, his heart was beating fast, and he felt that his legs were as difficult to lift as if they had been filled with lead.

...... Sometimes I really wish it was like Gintama, at least when I was in a hurry, there was a car to get around......

This dazed thought had barely crossed her mind, which was clumped with exhaustion, and a crisp gunshot tore through the silence before dawn.

"Bang!!"

...... What the hell is going on with my big groove?!

The adrenaline was stimulated by the gunfire in an instant, and Liu Quan picked up the last trace of physical energy, reactivated the [Advanced Light Gong] skill that had been forced to put away because of the lack of body just now, and rushed forward.

This skill is still very useful. Within a few minutes of running, Liu Quan heard a shrill shout from ahead.

"Mr. Hijikata-!!"

Something really happened to the slot?!

[Advanced Light Skill] was exerted to the limit by her urgency, and the last trace of potential in her body was also stimulated, and when Liu Quan arrived, she happened to see a small clump of blood burst out from the shoulder of the earthwork that was only a few meters away from her.

Before he had time to think about what was going on, Liu Quan braked sharply and spread his hands.

[The attack on Mr. Hijikata will stop immediately!!stop immediately!!]

In the next second, the bullets that slashed through the air suddenly condensed in mid-air, and Hijikata staggered to his knees, nailing the ground with the tip of the "Izumi Shoukanse" sword in his right hand to support his body, and Chizuru, who was not frozen by Yanagizumi's command just now, hurriedly rushed forward to support Hijikata.

Then, after he fell to his knees, the other person who had been blocked by his body, the opponent in front of him, turned his head in surprise.

"Ah, it's you. The other party said disrespectfully. The kind of voice that is extremely similar to Brother Zun reminded Liu Quan of the identity of the other party in an instant.

It's Kazama.

Liu Quan didn't dare to be distracted, and he didn't even have the courage to take a look at the extent of Hijikata's injury, but he just kept silently reciting the sentence "Yiqiē's attack on Mr. Hijikata will stop immediately!] in his heart, and his expression was tense and his teeth were gritted.

In the distance, more than a dozen people dressed in the uniforms of the Satsuma clan soldiers poured up. Perhaps because Yanagizumi didn't restrict the movement of the others, those men quickly stood behind Kazama with their guns in hand.

"Your Highness Kazama, are you alright?" shouted a man who looked like a small leader. One of the feudal soldiers behind him quickly crossed in front of Kazama and raised his gun at Hijikata to aim.

Willow Springs: ......!!!

Although she knew that even if the man raised his gun at Hijikata, it would be impossible for him to hit Hijikata under her superpowers, but beads of sweat still oozed from her forehead.

Hijikata gasped violently. Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss caused by the injured director, his voice was low and tight, and he had a hard time speaking.

"Kiyohara...... Isn't it clear that ......?!"

Chizuru, who was beside him, nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, it's Yukiha-kun! she's right behind us......! Seems like she was the one who stopped the bullets! I thought—"

Before she could finish speaking, Kazama let out a sneer.

"Don't you understand, do you think that guy can be so happy every time? ...... That guy's abilities are weak. ”

Chizuru: ?!

Earthwork:......?!!

However, as the general of the West Ghost, Kazama also has his own set of styles. He stared in disgust at the Satsuma soldier who was almost on the brink of his gun against Hijikata's forehead.

"Get out of the way. He said indifferently, and suddenly stabbed through the heart of the Satsuma soldier.

"Get in the way. Don't bother us with our duels. ”

At the end, his voice became stern.

The little leader seemed to be frightened for a moment, took a few steps back, and muttered, "W-this...... What are you doing?!", and then as if suddenly he came back to his senses, he screamed, turned around and fled with the Satsuma soldiers.

Then, Kazama did not have the slightest concern for the willow spring not far away, but walked up to the earth side and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Did you get a gunshot wound to the shoulder? Luckily, if that woman from your new selection group comes one step too late, you won't live long. ”

Willow Springs: ......!!!

The mood fluctuated uncontrollably. The warm current output felt in the palm of your hand disappeared in an instant.

Now that the superpowers had disappeared due to the fluctuation of his mind, and the Satsuma clan soldiers who had apparently shot at Hijikata had been scared away by Kazama, Yanagizumi withdrew his hand and stared at Kazama vigilantly, intending to rush forward to meet Hijikata and Chizuru.

At this time, Kazama snorted.

“...... However, it is painful to not be able to fight as a general at such a time. I'll help you get rid of it. ”

He raised his "Tong Zi Che Angang" high in the direction of the earth, as if he was going to swing it down in the next moment!

Chizuru stood up suddenly, stood in front of the earth, and pulled out his small sword, which represented the orthodoxy of the East Oni!

"Stop!!!" she shouted.

Liu Quan was startled and immediately stepped forward-

However, she had just activated her ability to prevent Hijikata from being attacked, and she was too far away from them. Now, even if you try your best, you can't reach them in an instant and stop Kazama.

Sure enough, in the next second, Kazama sneered and grabbed Chizuru's wrist holding the knife, and screwed it behind her violently, as if he was going to shoot down the small knife in Chizuru's hand.

Chizuru let out a loud scream.

Almost at the same time, Hijikata, who seemed to be having trouble breathing because of his injuries, spoke.

“...... Wait!"

From behind him, he seemed to stretch out his wounded left hand, and his movements were very difficult and slow, as if he was about to touch something.

Liu Quan: ......?!

Kazama quickly revealed the answer for her.

"It's like water. There seemed to be a sneering sigh in his voice. "Stupid humans. Even so, you're no match for me. ”

Hijikata gritted his teeth and squeezed out the sound between his teeth word by word.

“...... This kind of thing, how can you know if you don't try it!!"

Liu Quan shouted loudly: "...... Don't !!"

She finally rushed to Hijikata's side in time at this moment, and without thinking about it, raising her hand at Hijikata's still bleeding left shoulder was a heavy blow.

Perhaps he didn't expect to be attacked by her, Hijikata snorted in pain, and his left arm, which had been injured, was suddenly paralyzed by the sharp pain from his shoulder, and as soon as his left hand was released, the vial containing the water fell to the ground.

"You...... What are you ...... doing!" the pain made his voice change tone, and every word he uttered seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

Liu Quan did not answer, but dodged in front of Hijikata.

"Today, that's enough, Ghost General. She actually sneered slightly.

"What do you want to do here while you are in danger? What kind of 'duel' do you say? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to go straight to the disgraceful victory when your opponent is attacked and injured by your own dog? ...... This kind of battle that is not dignified, with the pride and self-esteem of your ghost clan, can you actually accept it?"

Without bothering to pull out his [Mass Production Longquan Sword], Liu Quan raised his hands at Kazama with a big face, and put on a rogue posture of "Come on, come on, I still have the strength to fight again, do you want to try the sad situation of being fixed by me], implying a terrifying threat.

Kazama was indeed enraged by her provocation and taunts.

"You bastard—"

As soon as he raised his hand, he threw Chizuru aside. He used his "Tong Zi Che'an Gang" to point straight at the face door of Liu Quan.

The mixture of frustration, resentment, and powerlessness immediately ignited a raging rage that surged over Willow Quan's brain, burning her mind in an instant.

"Please think about it!!" She shouted sharply in the face of the awe-inspiring blade of the famous knife "Tong Zi Che Angang".

Kazama's face distorted.

He jerked the knife in his hand high, and then swung it with all his strength towards the man standing in front of him-
