Before the words fell, the young man rushed forward violently and stabbed at the heart of the opposite rakshasa -

Bang!

At the same moment, a gunshot burst through the darkness.

After the gunshot, the boy shook twice at the same time as the rakshasa on the other side.

And then—

The rakshasa fell with a thud, his chest pierced by the blade that the boy had held.

The boy quickly freed up one hand and covered his right shoulder a little below. Between his slender fingers, wisps of blood oozed out!

The boy looked down in disbelief at the place where his left hand was holding, then gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand, with great difficulty, pulled out his own sword from the chest of the fallen and dead rakshasa and held it in his hand, and then slowly turned his head back.

At the entrance to Dead Alley, there were two men standing. One of them still had a pistol in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at him.

The alley wasn't very long, and even if the boy was almost standing at the end of the alley, and the attacker was at the mouth of the alley, there was only a distance of five or six meters between them.

The boy seemed to be dominated by the pain of being shot, and couldn't help but hold his breath for a few seconds.

At the same time, the two men walked slowly into the alley.

The other man, who didn't make a move, stopped first, and the man with the gun pointed at the boy took another step forward before stopping.

The moonlight poured down from the sky and reflected the three people in this alley.

Surprisingly, the first to speak was the man with the gun.

In the moonlight, he looked only in his early thirties, and he was very handsome. Although he wore the same low-key casual clothes as the man behind him—ordinary Western-style clothes—he looked very powerful, as if he had once commanded thousands of troops.

"What an accident. He said slowly, his gaze sliding over the boy's face and finally on the boy's hair.

Yes, the boy had been wearing a hat, but it had fallen off due to the fierce battle with the two rakshasas, and the long hair was curled up haphazardly.

Although many men used to have long hair, now that the Restoration and Westernization have been implemented for many years, it is no longer common for men to have long hair.

But that's not the point.

The point is –

The young man's long hair, which was simply tied into a ponytail, looked more and more white as snow under the moonlight.

Moreover, under the reflection of the moonlight, the pupils of the young man's eyes seemed to glow faintly red.

The man with the gun curled the corners of his lips.

"Hehehe...... I really didn't expect that Lord Saigo would also be troubled by it for a while...... Obsessively cutting out our powerful henchmen—"

"That's you, Miss Kujo. ”

His eyes were on the teenager...... No, it should be said that it was the "Nine Noriko" or Liu Quan's face lingered for a moment.

Then, he raised an eyebrow meaninglessly.

"However, the opponent who can make my family's Yuzi hold such a grudge...... It's really not an ordinary person. ”

There seemed to be a sneer in his tone.

"Why don't you explain why you're a rakshasa too, Miss Kujo?"

In front of him, Kujo Noriko, who had been hit by the bullet, remained silent holding on to the wound below his shoulder.

The blood gushing out of the wound gradually stopped. The wound was rapidly healing under the cover of her clothes.

It was only then that she spoke slowly.

“...... I don't have much to say, Kirino-sama. ”

The man known as "Kirino-sama" was slightly stunned, and then grinned, as if his smile was even more arrogant.

"Tsk, I really regret that I didn't go out with a pistol with silver bullets today. He still didn't put down the gun in his hand, and although he said something like a hanger, his eyes were still locked on her face like a falcon, as if he wanted to see some secret in her expression at the slightest change in her expression.

"Hahaha, that's funny...... Kujou Tadashun is busy taking refuge in my family, and his adopted daughter is secretly working against us—" He smacked his lips.

"You're really not a small skill. We're all that's left after the war, and we've got a few rakshasas that we've made again with the improved Changerakami that we've left over from the beginning, and you've almost all killed them now......" He didn't seem to be worried at all about what was wrong with telling his bottom now, and said to Kujo Noriko with a big grin.

"You, in my opinion, are much more useful than Kujou Tadashi or his frail son. - Hey, how's it going? As long as you confess everything truthfully, we can not pursue it. Just follow us, what's your gain by staying in Kujo's house? Seeing that fool marry you to something more stupid but useful to him?, or will you die for both of them?"

Jiujo Zhizi gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

And the speech of the "Kirino-sama" is still continuing.

"A woman who dared to drink the water of the transformation and turn herself into such a terrible creature...... Tsk, a woman who can do this must not be a thing in the pool. How can the Kujo family's kind of courtyard be satisfied enough to match your bold ambition?Isn't Saigo-sama more suitable for you to serve the moment?

Noriko Kujo finally spoke.

"With Kirino-sama's ability, can't you find out what I experienced before?"

The woman with a young face lowered her left hand, which was holding the wound, and her gaze swept over the blood stain in her palm.

"I can't serve you Satsuma. Not only that, but I will continue to pursue the rest of your rakshasas until there is no one left of them......"

The woman's clear voice sounded in the deep night.

"Because rakshasas are not a species that should live in this world. ”

"Why I became a rakshasa and how I survived so far is not the point. ”

"The important thing is—"

Before she could finish speaking, she heard another man who had been silent.

"Li Qiujun, it's useless. ”

Kujo Noriko's eyes widened in an instant!

The man standing behind Toshiaki Kirino had only taken two steps forward slowly. His face was now completely bathed in the clear moonlight of the night.

Surprisingly, he didn't look like the broad-faced, rugged-looking, strong-looking, and athletic middle-aged man of Kujo Noriko-Yanagiquan's impression. Although that image is the standard for Saigo Takamori.

The "Saigo Takamori" in this fandom unexpectedly has a calm and handsome face that looks less than forty years old.

It's like the character of an otome game, not like one of the real three heroes of the Restoration in history.

This world is really crazy, right?

Liu Quan stared at him in astonishment, and his heart rolled over for a moment, only this one thought.

The man named "Saigo Takamori", whose image was almost worthy of the uncle-level raiders of an otome game, swept his face with eyes as sharp as a falcon, and then glanced at Toshiaki Kirino, who was standing beside him.

Her reasons don't need to be asked. ”

Her decision doesn't need to be questioned. ”

The kind of voice that was very similar to someone she remembered, only a little more mature and lower, spoke calmly.

"Because, in the midst of such a family, you are still stubbornly fighting against us, and even killing many of our men, is not something you can shake with a few words. ”

The voice is the same as Tezuka Kunimitsu、It's like he exists as a middle-aged man.,It's just a little more indifferent and low.、Saigo Takamori in this inexplicable world.。

Speaking of this, his gaze rested on Liu Quan's face again, and with the powerful coercion of the superior, he stared at her for a moment.

"Tonight, forget it, Liqiu-kun. He commanded quietly.

"After all, we'll be a little embarrassed to kill Kujo's loyal adopted daughter here. ”

"Besides, I'm not very interested in where she came from. You're going to check on your troublesome adopted daughter for her, and that's it. But now, I have a little guess about her past. ”

Saigo motioned for Toshiaki Kirino to put down the gun in his hand, and then glanced at Yanagizumi's snow-white hair again.

"The power that changes like water is in the hands...... How many are there from the past to the present? It's none other than the shogunate, or us. Originally, the water in Tosa was all flowing out of us, so those people probably wouldn't have thought of letting a little girl waste such a precious amount of water...... After all, what kind of combat power can a little girl have? If they want to become a rakshasa for them to drive, they have big men......"

Saigo continued unhurriedly in a voice that was almost exactly the same as Tezuka's Kunimitsu, only thicker and older.

"It's the same on our side. Changing water is not so generous that it doesn't matter if you give it to a little girl to drink...... At that time, the battle was very fierce, and Yukimura Tsunado disappeared halfway through. As soon as he disappears, no one knows how water is made......"

Ahh That's the voice.

Not very similar, other people's voices. And it's this voice. The magnetism and characteristics of the voice, the way of pronunciation, the way the vocal cords vibrate, and even the subtle pauses between the tone of speech and the words—

It's all that person.

It's all exactly the same as Tezuka Kunimitsu.

This made it almost impossible for Ryuzumi to concentrate on listening carefully to Saigo's reasoning, which had become closer and closer to the truth of her deep, dangerous past.

"In this case, there is only the shogunate. ”

"But the shogunate's side has the power to change like water—"

Saigo paused slightly. In the changing moonlight, Liu Quan seemed to see a faint sneer on his face.

“...... There's only Shinsengumi. ”

He slowed down and uttered the word "Shinsengumi" word by word.

This is now a forbidden word.

Those four familiar syllables jumped out of his mouth, making Liu Quan's mood almost stir in an instant!

She pursed her lips involuntarily, and there was a sharp light in her blood-red pupils.

"Say it. ”

Without warning, Saigo took aim at her.

"Tell me, how did you get the change from the Shinsengumi, and why did they turn you into a rakshasa for a little girl? ”

His tone was calm and powerful, and the three questions were thrown in front of her in a progressive manner, like a thick trap woven into her.

The author has something to say: May 1:

Well, I've been thinking of a hidden voice actor meme for a long time!Finally able to throw it out ww.

Because once when I was thinking about the voice actor stalk of Koichi and Grandpa, I suddenly thought that in "Thin Sakura Ghost: Makumoku Musou Record", Saigo Takamori's CV is Uncle Ayu, so ......

Speaking of which, when I started writing the small line, I didn't have an outline at all.,It's all written and written.,Suddenly developed a plot outline.,So I continued to write.

Then write and develop a brain hole, so then code the outline first

I hope to finish this line in 50,000 words, but if I have a new brain, then-

No, what will the deputy chief do in that case? When will it be written!【】
