"Bump..."Just stood up and looked at each other's first swords, and at the beginning of the collision, Kenshin felt the fishy liquid in his throat that kept churning upwards... Was it just a blow? Or was it before... Is it too much physical exertion?

"Senior... Why is your sword so weak?" Zhi Zhixiong's low words came, and the sword that Kenshin was holding was taken aside, and then... Leaves a scar on Kenshin's thigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info However, Kenshin's face did not change, instead, he took a step forward, wrapped the bandage on Zhi Zhixiong's chest in his hand, and pulled it directly outward...

The moment Zhi Zhixiong's scorched skin was tied under the bandage touched the air, it began to squirm automatically, and he could even hear the sound of "zizi".

"Your body... Have you been suffering from the scorching heat of such fire?" Kenshin asked.

"This flame of revenge reminds me all the time, let me not forget the treatment and humility of the weak in front of the strong..."Zhi Zhixiong took a few steps back, covered the carrion on his chest and looked at Kenshin, his eyes were full of mockery of himself and Kenshin: "How the same we are~ Senior... They are all strong people, and they are all challenging stronger people, but what are the consequences..."

"Senior...", Zhi Zhixiong took out a stack of papers from his arms, threw it into the air, and then... Throw it away.

―――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――

"From the last sword fight, I already understood... The reason why Zhi Zhixiong is strong. Kenshin, who was wrapped in bandages, came to the place where Mao Mao was in the rear, and said directly: "Zhi Zhixiong's body, all of which have been roasted by flames, it is a miracle that he can survive until now, the last time he fought with him, the attack that he could attach flames to the knife was actually the constant high temperature in his body, and the sword was probably coated with something like fire oil." ”

"It's great that you're okay!" Mao Mao didn't care about anything else, but looked at Yinshi who ran in, his eyes lit up, and he took a few steps forward and grabbed Yinshi's shoulder: "Everyone is worried about you, you have been missing since the last battle." ”

"It's okay, I was picked up on the road, and I was injured for a while, although I haven't completely healed, but I have something to tell you~" Yinshi waved his hand and said indifferently: "In the face of Zhi Zhixiong, we can't fight hard, we can only choose to consume, let the temperature of his physical strength rise with the length of his battle time, and then... He was burned alive by himself, and this was the only way we could defeat him. ”

"Well~ Yinshi doesn't have to worry so much, Zhizhixiong and don't worry, we already have a person who can really deal with him, today's battle should be the last battle~" Mao Mao patted Yinshi on the shoulder: "So Yinshi, you don't have to think so much, just take care of your injuries here to the end, and wait for the end of this war~"

"The person who can deal with Zhi Zhixiong, impossible, how can there be a single person in this world..."As he spoke, Yinshi's voice gradually decreased, because he had a conjecture, if...

"Where's the wig! where is the fake discovery?!" Gintoki looked left and right, and then said in a deep voice.

"Fighting on the front line~" Saying that, Mao Mao looked at Yinshi in surprise: "All of you in the Katsura and Shinsengumi are all fighting on the front line, as long as you contain the opponent's forces and let Kenshin have time to kill Zhi Zhixiong, then this war will be..."

"Kenshin...."Yinshi's face was gloomy and terrifying, and it could even be said that the green tendons on his face were about to collapse out by him.

"That guy... I knew he was going to find Kenshin, yes, Kenshin was indeed able to kill Shishio alone, but ah... But ah... But that's the former Kenshin!Now he..."Yinshi's hand was clenched tightly, and even trembled: "How can he have any strength to deal with Zhi Zhixiong now?!!! you know very well about the wig, but why!

"What do you mean by Kenshin??" had a bad premonition in Maomao's heart, maybe... Is there anything you don't know?

"Since the Battle of the Dragon Vein, five years ago, Kenshin had said that he was a little unwell, so I once went to the hospital with him for a check-up, and the result was..."

―――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――

"Mom..."Outside the door, it is still the same sunshine, but the mood of the person basking in the sun no longer exists, looking at the road that I don't know where, the road where there is no trace of people in the confusion... Ah~too~How could you come back so soon~

"Asaka~What's wrong?" Picking up his daughter, Sanye sat in front of the corridor and looked at the road at the gate, but still said to his daughter.

"I found a lot of things I don't know in my room~" As he spoke, Qianqiu handed over the white plastic bag in his hand, looking at his mother with big flickering eyes, full of the feeling of begging to touch his head.

"Eh, is it~ I saw something I didn't know and wanted to hand it over to my mother~ There was nothing wrong with what Qianqiu did~" Smiling and stroking his daughter's head, Sanye smiled very gently, and then opened the plastic bag in his hand, and slowly pulled out the hidden things.

―――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――

Five years ago...

"With all due respect, Kenshin-san, your body... Could it be that he was attacked by some strange alien virus?" the doctor in the white coat asked Kenshin solemnly, holding his glasses.

Yinshi and Kenshin glanced at each other, and then, Kenshin shook his head.

"Your body, please look at your internal organs and blood tests, I can say that I have never seen such a strange disease, although your blood is still healthy red, but the presence of red blood cells and some necessary things in it is far lower than that of an ordinary person. What I can say is that if the blood of ordinary people is a muddy Yellow River, your blood is no different from pure water. ”

"What does the doctor mean—" Yinshi said quickly.

"The internal organs are also starting to die, and you recently said that you often feel dizzy. As he spoke, the doctor spread out the diagram: "The nerves in the brain have begun to wither... Your senses and eyes have begun to age, ordinary people live one day at a time, and you live five days a day..."

Kenshin was silent, and Gintoki probably had a guess... Back then, with the body of a human being, he forcibly harnessed the power of the dragon vein, and saved the alien planet when he went to Sanye, and the collision of the power of the two dragon veins...

Finally, now, have the sequelae of the body finally exploded?

"Kenshin...."Yinshi looked at the silent Kenshin, and landed a hateful punch on the wall on the side, and his voice was like a wounded lone wolf: "Doctor, is there no cure?!"

"It's a pity, if it's just the problem of blood and internal organs, we can solve it, but the blood made by the human hematopoietic system is the same as clean water, even if we change the blood for him, after a cycle, it is still useless. The doctor shook his head, "Mr. Scarlet, please cherish the rest of your time." ”

"What did you say?!" Yinshi slapped his face on the table, his eyes as terrifying as a demon: "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Gintoki!" Kenshin slowly stood up, and then shouted, looking at Gintoki's eyes as he looked back, suddenly speechless.

At that moment, the tacit understanding that lasted for more than 30 years only made Gintoki understand the meaning of Kenshin in an instant...

"Let's go. Doctor, I'm sorry, Gintoki's personality is more impatient. ”

"Kenshin, I'm not reconciled... It's already..."

"Yinshi, I already knew that I would come back on this day, so you don't have to feel that I am not worthy, even if it is just for a moment, the taste of happiness, I have been satisfied on this road of atonement. ”

"Need me..."

"Don't tell anyone..."Kenshin walked out of the hospital gate, looking at the white clouds drifting in the sky, slowly blocking out the sun.

"I don't want them to worry yet~ At least... I don't want her to know that even if it's only a few years, I'll be enough to watch my daughter grow up..."As he spoke, Kenshin smiled lightly: "It's enough time to relax a little bit." ”

"..."Yinshi was speechless.

――――――――― cutting ―――――――――――

Yes,At that time, I wanted to spend my life with Sanye who didn't know how long.,But now... Trembling and trembling with a sword in hand, this is my life? It's really, I hate it so much that I want to leave my life~

I'm so sorry... Shamrock,I'm likely to want...

Broken my promise.

Are you still waiting for me at the gate?

Kenshin I... Will definitely come back to you...

I'll be home.
