Lately, no matter what I drink, I can only taste blood.

A tavern, where Kenshin drinks alone, he can't seem to hear the noise of the people around him, but he is just engaged in his own world.

"It's hard to drink." He whispered to himself, obviously others drank so freely, but he always couldn't watch the alcohol to express his inner emotions, and his interest was always lower and lower.

Suddenly, the voices around him disappeared, and the tavern fell silent, but even so, Kenshin didn't turn to check on the situation, but just buried his head in drinking.

Then I felt a person sitting down behind me.

"Welcome, what do you want?"

"Give me a glass of cold wine."

It was a woman, and her voice was cold, and just by listening to the voice, you could tell that this guest should be a beauty.

Although this doesn't mean anything to Kenshin.

The wine is a cup of wine, and time goes with it, and the night of the prayer garden festival is very lively outside, and the sound of the tavern seems to be much better than the previous days.

Kenshin learned to drink heavily from the days when he was scarred on his face.

From the very beginning, he didn't think the wine tasted good, and recently it only tasted bloody.

So Kenshin never understood why he was obsessed with the taste of wine, maybe it was because the master always traveled the world with a sake jug by his side? Or could it be something else?

Kenshin was immersed in his own world, so he didn't notice it, and tonight's tavern was mixed, and many people had already put their minds on the woman sitting behind him. Seeing that the beauty was drunk for more than half a tour, her expression was slightly drunk, and finally someone couldn't bear it and stood up.

"Let's go."

"Uh-huh."

Two tall men with swords lifted the wine bottles on the table and walked towards the woman's seat.

"Hey, girl!"

Placing the bottle heavily in front of the woman, the two of them had a bad attitude.

"Would you like a drink?"

The woman looked up at the two of them expressionlessly, but she was very calm and did not seem to be flustered at all, she looked at the wicked person who came to cause trouble with her dark eyes, but she did not say a word, and did not understand what she was thinking.

"Tsk, women don't know how to lift." Waiting impatiently, the villain's face changed and began to threaten her, saying, "Lao Tzu is a righteous man of Huijin, running around day and night for you civilians!" ”

Another person also helped

"Isn't it natural to have a glass of wine with us in order to repay us!!"

The woman was still not frightened, she looked at the two of them as if she were looking at two jumping clowns.

"Aizu is a pro-shogunate faction." She said.

Hearing that the woman had exposed the lies of the two villains, the crowd below also burst into laughter, and the two of them were angry and drew their swords against everyone.

"What are you laughing at!!"

After being threatened with a knife, ordinary people also fell silent and did not dare to continue talking.

"Heh, even if you know each other, it's no good to talk more!!"

"This time, even if you get your life back."

"Indeed, a life was saved." Kenshin, who had been silent all along, drank the last drop of his drink and stood up from his seat.

"If you draw your sword, I will surely take your life."

"Huh?!"

The villain wanted to draw his knife and slash at this unknown person who came out to stir up the situation, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull out his knife again.

Kenshin pressed his palm against the hilt of his sword.

"A word of advice." He looked up at the man's eyes, and the villain only felt a sudden chill all over his body, and his whole body's strength instantly went back to seven or eight percent.

"In the future, the turmoil in Kyoto will become more and more intense, and neither the shogunate nor the reformers will let the false righteous run rampant, so if you want to survive, you should return to the countryside as soon as possible."

"But, damn it......"

Seeing someone come forward, others also had the courage to coax.

"Yes! Counterfeits get out! ”

"Two idiots."

The villains couldn't bear the pressure from both sides, and fled the tavern in a panic after putting down the cruel words.

"Excuse me." Kenshin bows to the boss, leaves the coins and leaves. He never looked back at the woman, not at Shedaiba.

"Well, young man is amazing!" "Like a righteous man."

Xuedaiba looked at the back of Kenshin who was leaving, she didn't have the anger after seeing the enemy, nor the gratitude after being saved by Kenshin, she was more calm than she expected.

The executioner draws his sword.

Is it just a child?

……

……

Kenshin deliberately chose a street with few people to go back, and most of the people gathered in the bustling center of Kyoto City tonight, and the remote place was even more dead and silent than usual.

His heart was disturbed, how could a nobody like the past make him angry.

"Master."

Watching the cherry blossoms at night in spring, looking at the stars in summer, enjoying the full moon in autumn, and the first snow in winter, how can there be wine that is not good to drink in this situation, if you still feel that it is difficult to drink, it must be a human problem.

"So, is it my own problem?"

The purpose of the Flying Sword Stream is to save the world from the troubled times, and this is the time to put it into practice.

"Okay, he's here."

"Are you really going to kill him?"

"Stupid, isn't it common to kill people in Kyoto now?"

The two of them are hiding in the shadows, the same two villains who have just been humiliated by Kenshin in the tavern.

"Killing, it's commonplace, it's true."

"Who!!"

A man in pitch black with a double-edged chain in his hand appeared behind them.

"If you're going to blame it, it's because you're here."

Without saying a word, the man in black carried a knife and killed without any mercy.

Kenshin was walking on the road, and suddenly felt the sound of hurried footsteps behind the knife, and subconsciously he immediately turned around, and his hand was on the hilt of his sword.

"Save!! Help me!! ”

Is it the villain just now?

There was only one person left, and he fled in the direction of Kenshin while shouting for help. But before he could get in front of Kenshin, he was pierced through his throat by a flying blade thrown from behind.

Not even screaming.

"You're an executioner." Retracting the flying blade, the man in black asked Kenshin.

"What's wrong?" Kenshin's face didn't change at all, and he didn't waver even though the person had died a miserable death.

Don't say more, the man's shot is a killer move. The thrown blade is as fast as a bullet and goes straight to Kenshin's head.

Has his whereabouts been exposed?

That's why there are assassins who come to kill themselves.

Swinging the knife and flicking away the opponent's weapon, Kenshin quickly approached the man, since the opponent has the means of long-range attack, it is better to get close to the duel with his own chances.

But the man obviously had extraordinary means, and he didn't know how much force the knife he threw before, but it was deep in the stone slab, and he jumped up the high wall, shook the chain in his hand a few times, and actually tied the sword heart.

"......" then jumped from a high place with another sword held high, and with the force of the fall, it was bound to split the sword heart in half.

“……”

has a bit of ability, but it's a pity that it's just a fist and an embroidered leg.

Kenshin watched the man's trajectory as if he were watching a dozing wildcat fall from the sky.

Easily dodging the seemingly swift slash, the man slammed into the knife he had nailed to the slate. I don't know when, it has been pulled out by Kenshin.

He didn't tie Kenshin's actions.

The slash was cut in two, and blood splattered in the sky.

And one more.

Kenshin turned around, and he saw that there was a woman standing there who had just been rescued by him, her snow-white kimono stained with black and red blood, and she was still not panicked at all.

She saw everything.

And the identity of the knife cannot be exposed to others.

"I chased it out to thank Your Excellency for your help just now......"

On Xuedaiba's cheeks, blood slid down his neck.

"The tragic scene is often described as 'bloody and bloody'."

Dark night, lilac shawl, dark eyes.

"You do evoke it, bloody rain."

Kenshin couldn't kill her.

The sword in his hand had slipped to the ground at some point.
