The mustache cut is gone.

Kneemaru could only shout "Anijia!", staring at his back in vain.

He looked like he was about to cry.

Liu Quan had no choice but to step forward and pat him on the shoulder silently. Then she felt that this was not enough, so she simply stood on her tiptoes, spread her hands, and hugged the good brother who had lost her brother again.

...... Because if she didn't, she was afraid she was going to cry.

Although he only met with this mustache and soon separated again, his gentleness and dark belly, his reason and will, were exactly the same as she remembered.

Moreover, before leaving, he also told Liu Quan a big secret - or rather, officially confirmed one of her conjectures that exploded in her brain.

He said that his original inquisitor was known as "Yashima Yoriyoshi", and his real identity was indeed a historical figure carefully selected by the government of the time in history, which had both outstanding military value and command skills as a general, Genkuro Yoshitsune.

For Genkuro Yoshitsune, the recruitment of the Tokino government was also a glimmer of opportunity for him to escape his tragic fate - his brother Minamoto Yoritomo, whom he once trusted and admired and was willing to die for, suspected of his reputation and his abilities, and finally forced him to die in Hiraizumi's Takadate at the hands of his childhood friend Fujiwara Taiheng.

He became a general again, and had to live under a pseudonym, but the past that belonged to the "Genyi Sutra" deeply engraved a mark on him-

He was actually lucky in the company battle, and found the mustache early on, but because the mustache was once the favorite knife of his brother Minamoto Yorito, he was very strict with the mustache cut. His harsh treatment gradually turned into harsh abuse, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and finally decided to escape from his party during a battle with the time-back march, but was forced to join the time-back march, and then he followed the evil monsters to Utsunomiya Castle in 1868, where he met his brother and the female inquisitor who claimed to have been Minamoto Yorito's men and witnessed the final moments of Minamoto Yoshitsune and Fujiwara Taiheng.

"Be careful that 'Yashima Yoriyoshi'-kun finds out the fact that you used to work for Kamakura-den, and he will attack you. ”

Before leaving, he smiled so faintly and reminded her in a leisurely tone. The pseudonym of Gen Yoshitsune was slowly pronounced by him in a particularly sarcastic tone, and his gaze staring into the distance gradually deepened.

"I've wondered why he, why did the government of time take the risk of upending history to recruit Yoshitsune Minamoto, why did the government of time choose him and no one else? But none of this is known to my power. ”

He withdrew his gaze, casting it one last time into the face of the Female Inquisitor.

"If you still want to remember me, listen to me, and watch out for that person. ”

He said.

"Don't let him touch you...... Don't let him move the naïve pill. ”

His blood-red eyes lingered on her face for a long time, as if to look into the depths of her heart.

“...... Can you do it for me?"

Liu Quan took a deep breath.

"Okay. ...... I promise. She replied without hesitation.

The mustache curled the corners of her lips and smiled.

"Good. He had a look of pleasure on his face, and then a hint of banter in his tone.

"Some people say, 'A woman with big front teeth is the most affectionate,' so I'll assume that you can keep the promise. ”

Liu Quan reflexively covered his mouth, leaving only two eyes out, glaring at him angrily.

Mustache laughed loudly, and walked towards the end of the street without looking back, as he glanced at the face of the female inquisitor suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Eh, master's front teeth are really a little big, why haven't I noticed!".

Now, the back of the mustache is finally out of sight.

And the female inquisitor also slowly let go of Knemaru's shoulders and took a step back.

With red eyes, Kneemaru looked at the female inquisitor suspiciously, only to see her reach out and pull off the Shinsengumi armband pinned to her sleeve.

Knemaru was so surprised that he stumbled as he spoke.

"Lord...... Why did the owner suddenly take off the armband......?"

The inquisitor casually folded the cloth armband back into her pocket, and turned and walked in the direction of the city gate.

"Not why. She replied without looking back.

“...... It's just that we're not going to the main camp of the Shinsengumi. ”

Knee Pill was surprised.

“...... But didn't you go to great lengths to sneak into this city just to meet ...... Uh-"

He thought about it for a moment before he could figure it out from his memory.

"The deputy head of the Shinsengumi ......, huh?"

When the female judge heard this, her footsteps paused slightly.

After a few seconds, she pressed the handle of the knife on her waist again and walked slowly.

"Now I know. She said.

"It would be unwise for me to go to him. ”

Knemaru: "Why-"

The female inquisitor had already walked some distance, stopped at this moment, pressed the hilt of the knife on her waist, and looked back at the knee pill that was still standing in place unconsciously.

As if to hide her true emotions, she raised her right hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose with her index finger.

"Since this time I am destined to be on the opposite side of him...... There is no point in expecting courage from him. ”

She lowered her gaze slightly, a faint, self-deprecating smile in her voice.

"I wanted to see him before the war, but I begged him for forgiveness in my heart...... Yet I can't even say things like 'I'm going to be your enemy today, please forgive me.'" ”

"Obviously...... He also said such beautiful things to Mustache-kun, and as a result, did he turn out to be a weak person-"

Her last note was abruptly interrupted, and her tone was filled with melancholy for a moment.

“...... No, no. ”

"No matter how close it is, you shouldn't take a step further. ”

“...... Mustache was right. I'm not anyone's subordinate now...... I'm already a general. ”

Her gaze drifted away for a moment, and she looked over Knemaru's shoulder in the direction of the Shinsengumi's main formation, which was supposed to exist.

Along the way, there are many clues as to where the Shinsengumi are stationed now, and as long as you follow these clues, you will always find them.

I can find the deputy chief of the ghost who they have been convinced, respected and a little afraid of for many years, the majestic and heartbroken ghost, Hijikata Suizo.

He's in the city right now. It's just a stone's throw from her. In addition, the general he respects, trusts, and is willing to risk his life to desperately defend and follow, the director of the Shinsengumi Bureau, Isamu Kondo, will be beheaded by the new government in two days.

What would he be like at such a moment? Even if he would have concealed his deep grief and anger and tried harder to lead everyone forward, it could not hide the fact that he felt the pain of powerlessness when he was nowhere to be around, when he thought of Mr. Kondo.

It was precisely because he obeyed Kondo's orders in Liushan that Kondo was left alone to face those menacing new government forces, and he felt extremely painful when he thought of this fact now.

But it was all the more poignant to watch him endure pain, direct his former comrades to fight against him, and finally be wounded and swallow the consequences of defeat at such moments—even in a history where he had no special feelings for her.

However, no matter how much she wanted to follow him at this moment, she couldn't.

Even if you want to accompany him through the pain of parting and defeat at such a moment, hug his weathered shoulders and tell him that there are still people willing to follow him and the Chengzi flag to the end—no.

Maybe this is the so-called fate.

“...... Let's go, kneeball. She raised her voice slightly, calling out to Fu Fushen, who seemed to be completely confused by her capricious decision.

"I'm now your general. Therefore, we have to be responsible for you...... In times of need, endure those harmful emotions...... to fulfill their mission. ”

She slowly unfolded a smile on her face that was both relieved and sad.

"That's what Mr. Kondo once taught me. ”
