On April 23, 1868, Utsunomiya Castle was already in the midst of war.

However, Willow Springs had not been here before. Even in the world where she was the acting leader of the Ichibangumi of the Shinsengumi, at the time of the Battle of Utsunomiya, she was not under Utsunomiya Castle and was not in the Shinsengumi formation.

Because at that time, she was under house arrest by her titular brother Kujo Michikiyoshi in the Kujo Mansion in Edo Castle.

If you want to say why she threw herself into the net, it was because she was instructed by the deputy chief. After all possible aid and roads were cut off, the deputy chief finally set his sights on her, a Shinsengumi who had "a deep family relationship with the Choshu domain" and whom he trusted, believing that she would not betray him, and asked her to return to that home and try to rescue Kondo-kun, who had been imprisoned.

Later, she came here to work as a god inquisitor. However, because the map of the Battle of Utsunomiya is set to be very difficult, and she inherited a Honmaru that is basically a full sword tent and has a high level of sword training, so even if she fights, it is almost a high-level map, so she really hasn't been to the restoration map with the lowest difficulty.

However, time has changed, and she finally stands under the castle of Utsunomiya.

The air was filled with the smell of a choking fire, a scorching smell, and as far as the eye could see, there were many places in the city that curled up black smoke, mixed with the smell of blood after the battle, and the smoke was almost breathless.

Liu Quan bowed down behind a dirt slope outside the city, looking at the majestic and tall city wall in front of him, but it had been bombarded by artillery for several gaps.

The smoke mixed with dirt and ash curled away in front of his eyes, and Liu Quan unconsciously clenched the handle of the knife in his hand.

Was this the situation that the deputy commander had to face? tirelessly launching offensives again and again, so that he could temporarily forget the pain of losing his senior general and brother in the fierce and endless battles, and put the two of them in the battle in front of him, hoping to win for Kondo-kun, for the Shinsengumi they co-founded, and for the shogunate they had jointly dedicated their loyalty......

However, the victory was short-lived. Historically, the shogunate captured Utsunomiya Castle at one point, but at the same time they had consumed nearly 90 percent of their own forces, and their victory lasted less than three days before crumbling in front of the new government forces, which had regrouped and claimed to be nearly 100 times their size.

The time chosen by the government of the time was the last day of the Battle of Utsunomiya. This means that if the time-traveling march were to change history, they would be on the side of the shogunate army and the Shinsengumi this time-

In other words, she must side with the new government forces that oppose the deputy chief and, if necessary, destroy with her own hands the victory that the deputy chief has managed to achieve with all his might!

After making this realization, Liu Quan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

It's dawn on April 23 in the old calendar. According to the historical trajectory, the new government forces are about to launch an attack in the morning.

So—

Liu Quan opened his eyes and looked back at the Fu Fu Gods who had followed him to this battlefield this time.

Of course, in this kind of leveling map that is not very difficult, she will definitely bring the only two knee pills and medicine research that are currently in demand for leveling. However, because he arrived earlier, Yaoyan's current level is higher than that of the knee pill, and it is now the time when the sky has not completely broken and the night has not completely dissipated, and the advantage of the short knife in the night battle can still help him.

In addition, considering that the battle on this day should be a Japanese battle most of the time, the other swords that came out of the battle were also Tai Dao and Dai Tai Dao - in order not to arouse the suspicion of the indigenous characters living in this real history, the swords chosen by Yanagizumi were all dressed in Western-style dresses, such as Hotaru Maru, such as the candlestick Cutting Mitsu Tada, such as a period of one vibration, such as-

Well, here's a fish that slipped through the net.

Although they could be regarded as unhappy the day before, when Liu Quan announced that he was going to go out of Utsu Miyagi, the list was read one by one, and at the end, just about to say the name "Yingmaru", Yingmaru's Wannian tea friend slowly stood up from under the porch and put the teacup aside.

Yingmaru, who should have been named, continued to drink tea slowly.

His tea friend, who was dressed like an elegant and noble son of the Heian Dynasty, spoke.

"Utsunomiya. It's a good battlefield...... Why don't you let me go too?"

Liu Quan: "......"

She was choked by this unexpected statement, and was silent for two seconds before finding a reply that did not hurt everyone's face.

“...... However, in order to prevent the historical figures present from seeing the flaws, this time I plan to choose Fu Fushen in a foreign costume to go out of the battle to be a mourning god-"

Three days Moon Sect smiled pleasantly.

"Ah~ That's not a problem at all. He leisurely turned to the side of the candlestick that had just been named.

"Candlestick cut, in order to let me go out smoothly, can you lend me a piece of your battle uniform? ”

The candlestick cut Guangzhong was stunned for a moment. However, it was not the first time that the Three Days Moon Sect had borrowed a suit from him—the last time the Three Days Moon Sect was going to follow the Female Divine Inquisitor to the present world, he had borrowed a suit from him once - so he also reacted quickly, nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem." ”

...... So now Yingmaru, who should be out of the battle, is still drinking tea in Honmaru, and Sankazuki Zong, who is supposed to be drinking tea in Honmaru, is wearing a black suit and standing behind the female judge of the gods.

Liu Quan made up her mind not to be led by him intentionally or unintentionally, and after looking around at the six Fu Fu Gods, she said slowly: "The new government army will launch an offensive against Utsunomiya Castle this morning. Now, before dawn falls completely, I'm going to sneak into the city and reconnoiter the city. If you all follow me, firstly, the target is too obvious and easy to be targeted, and secondly, if you are too concentrated, it will not be easy to detect the time-retracing march lurking in the middle of nowhere. Therefore, the task of staying outside the city and monitoring the movement of the march in time is entrusted to you—"

She paused for a moment, her gaze swept to the kneemaru who was standing aside, thinking about his pathetic thirty-odd ranks, and she really didn't feel comfortable letting him be alone now—but it also seemed a bit irresponsible to throw him to someone else, so she continued: "Except for the kneemaru, please divide the area and watch separately. Knee Maru followed me into the city, his mobility is high, and if I make any new discoveries there, he can give you orders for me as soon as possible. ”

This method of distribution sounded very reasonable, and everyone responded "yes" one after another, only the Three Days Moon Sect touched his chin closely, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Hahaha, then- how are you going to sneak into the city?" he asked a new question, "You must know that the new government forces have surrounded Utsunomiya Castle, and if you want to enter the city, you can't completely go into the city without alerting any of the warring people......

Liu Quan has also had a countermeasure to this.

"You think I'm trading all my skills for ...... The corners of her lips curled slightly, revealing a smile that seemed to be both smug and self-deprecating. The word "exchange" followed by the word "spiritual power" turned suggestively on the tip of his tongue, but he still didn't say it.

However, the Three Days Moon Sect had recently realized her unfinished words.

...... Is the last killer feature that has been so hard to keep until now going to be used now?

Liu Quan sighed.

“...... Originally, if that 'Rakshasa physique' was still there, it would be a better means to put it here...... It's fast, and if you don't get hit in the heart, you can avoid death......" She actually laughed and teased half-jokingly.

"Now I can only rely on my last magic. ”

That's right.

The skills that disappeared from oneself little by little, those shining abilities, were exchanged for the qualification to take away the victory of the deputy chief today as a god inquisitor. In the end, the last wandless magic that she had been holding in her hand and refused to hand over, the Illusion Spell, became her trump card for being able to silently infiltrate the heavily guarded Utsunomiya Castle after she lost her [Advanced Light Skill].

Maybe it's because the system bacteria also understand that the illusion spell is indeed a necessary weapon for home travel to kill people and escape, so after a short period of retraction - Liu Quan did delay until the last moment to hand over this golden finger (?) - because it now has to rely on Liu Quan to investigate the hidden truth behind the incredible fact of [why the historical figure Yuan Yijing became the inquisitor of the present world], so after Liu Quan put forward a request of "always express your support for me, and help me return a few gold fingers on the side of the net", it once again put [ Some of the spells in the Wandless Magic skill were returned to her.

According to the system, it can't immediately open the door of convenience and continuously deliver inexhaustible spiritual power to the willow spring—[in that case, the government of the time will immediately become suspicious], it says—but it can still be done with a small gesture within the limits of permission.

As a result, Ryuquan now tried to throw a hallucination spell at both himself and Knemaru - it worked well, at least the two of them managed to avoid a patrol of uniforms that looked like new government troops, jumping through a gap in the city wall.

In fact, the gap was also guarded by the men and horses of the old shogunate. But those people were almost ignorant of the invisible enemy, and they turned a blind eye as Ryuzumi and Kneemaru rushed past them one after the other.

It was as if he had never experienced such a miraculous thing, and it was only when they rushed into the city and found a corner where no one was hiding for a while that he exhaled a long breath and said to the female inquisitor in a low voice, "This, this is really amazing, master!

Although he had tried his best to keep his voice down, it was still difficult to hide the half-nervous and half-excited emotion in his tone. This bright personality amused Willow Quan for a while—she had been poisoned by that white cut for too long—and she took an armband from her pocket and pinned it to her left arm. The armband is painted with a mountain pattern, and the famous character "Makoto" is written in the center.

Knee pills are Genji's heavy treasures in the last years of Heian, and of course I don't know much about the Seiji flag, a new thing that only appeared hundreds of years later. He watched her movements with a question mark on his face, and there was a hint of confusion in his tone. "...... master?"

Liu Quan pinned the armband and patted the sleeve of his armband before turning to the knee.

"This is the mark of the new selection group. She said, "I'm going to see the deputy head of the Shinsengumi right now, so I'm going to pretend to be a member of the Shinsengumi and walk around the city in a dignified manner—"

Knemaru was stunned.

Of course, he also knew a little bit about the historical background of this map before he went out, and now that he thinks about it, he immediately feels that things are a little bad.

"But...... Master, if the time-traveling march wants to change history, they will definitely be on the losing side—that is, the side of the old shogunate and the new selection group! What is your purpose in going to the deputy head of the new selection group now......

Liu Quan seemed a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled gently.

"Don't worry. It's just that before the big war starts, I want to make sure he's okay - don't forget, if you want to change history, maybe plotting against him in advance is also one of the options. ”

Knemaru opened his mouth, wanting to say, "If you plot against him in advance, the Shinsengumi will fall into a leaderless chaos and still fail in the end, how is this different from the result of history?

Since he insisted on going through such a great deal of trouble to enter the city at the last moment before the start of the great battle and meet with the leader of the side destined to become his enemy today, the Lord God Inquisitor must have made up his final mind.

Although he had only been in Honmaru for a short time, he had also heard of the background of this God Inquisitor - he had heard that she had been a member of the Shinsengumi, that is, she had been one of the most trusted subordinates of the Shinsengumi Vice Leader who was going to be defeated today, and had she ever been the most trusted sword in his hand?

He became a little worried, looked worriedly at the female inquisitor dressed as a man in front of him, and reluctantly said suggestively: "They all warned me that as a sword, I should no longer look at the ...... of my former master."

The Divine Inquisitor was a little surprised, holding the hilt of the knife at her waist and glancing back at him.

That glance scraped across his face, and there seemed to be a chilling feeling of a cold blade sliding across his cheek. But a moment later, the Female Inquisitor suddenly smiled, and the sharpness in her eyes vanished.

"Knemaru-kun, what an honest and good boy. She said.

Knee pill: "...... I—I'm not young anymore! I'm Genji's treasure, no—I'm not a child—"

The Female Inquisitor smiled and bowed her head.

"But I don't know who it is, and when I was in Honmaru, I said to myself, 'Anika always forgets my name, no, no, I'm definitely not crying'~ If you can hold back and not cry like this, isn't Knee Maru a good boy?"

Knee pills: "......"

The inquisitor smiled and pressed the hilt of the knife at her waist with one hand, tiptoe slightly, and brushed the hair of the knee pill with the other hand—although due to the height difference, she could only brush the sharp bangs on his forehead.

"Knee pills, it turns out that the accident is very healing. She said.

Knemaru: ?

The inquisitor smiled and withdrew her hand, and walked out into the street from that corner.

"Don't worry. I'm no longer a knife in the Shinsengumi......" she said without looking back.

“...... There is no attachment to the old master. ”

Although it felt like this sentence was not so much expressing it to him as convincing herself, Knemaru wisely chose to remain silent.
