"Asakura?!" Someone recognized her.

In an instant, Nanami took someone else's position, and as the other Shinsengumi struggled, she seemingly easily trampled the strange metal killer under her feet and eliminated its controller in one fell swoop.

"How many more?!"

"I don't know, I don't know how many people can move!!" Everyone was discouraged, and their faces were indistinguishable, and they didn't know how many teams they belonged to to fighting here.

She could only cut down the soldiers who tried to rush up to resist, and then confronted the enemy with a knife, and the enemy no longer dared to act rashly after seeing the first wave of companions coming forward being easily dealt with by her, but also raised her weapons and gritted her teeth to stare at Nanami standing on the wooden cart carrying the Gatling gun.

This is a wooden bridge.

When Seven Realities takes a step forward, the enemy moves forward as well, and when the distance is shortened to a certain limit, the battle is imminent.

In such a relatively small space, it is very easy to deal with multiple enemies. In the night, only the light of the sword flowed, and the human life was as insignificant as the tip of the knife, but the strength of one person could block the enemy's encirclement.

Behind her, the warriors of the new selection group were also inspired, and they had heard of the strength and mastery of the Seven Solid Swordsmanship, but it was the first time that it had been shown directly in front of their eyes, and this girl was worthy of the reputation of a sword ghost, which was really terrifying.

"You guys! Quickly highlight the encirclement of Choshu!! Qishi shouted, suppressing the decline, anti-guest-oriented, since he has understood what the enemy's trump card is, then go and solve it, if it is too late to retreat, he will reflexively slash out.

"Where are the others?"

Grabbing a ronin with a sword in his hand, he asked.

"......" he shook his head, to be honest, it was too difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south at this level.

"Is it......" Qishi can hear the gunfire in the distance, can see the skyrocketing fire, if you can't know the clear location, then go deep into the battle situation, and always find a breakthrough.

With a plan in mind, she put away her knife and prepared to go to the firefight. Before leaving, he glanced at the man he had stopped again. It's been more than a year in Shinsengumi, but she's never seriously wanted to know anyone, let alone ordinary members, and she can't even name the names of the captains of each team.

Then dozens of people dressed in cyan featherweave like her basked in blood.

Whether it's the Shinsengumi or the Restoration, many people will die in this battle.

"Damn." Qishi doesn't want to care so much, other people's lives and deaths have nothing to do with her.

Tadashi Matsubara, who was killed by the bomb, and the deformed man who had his arms cut off...... People who died inexplicably in Ikedaya.

"Asakura...... Mr. Asakura ......, "Even though he is older than Nanami, he calls him Mr. "Your face is very bad." ”

"Your gun, give it to me." Nanami reached out to the man and asked for the weapon he was fighting with.

The other party also did not hesitate to solemnly hand the musket to her.

"Take it." Taking the musket and carrying it behind him, Nanami threw Asaki to the man.

"This!!"

"If you can't fight, just step back, Kaga Kiyomitsu is more suitable for my swordsmanship than Asakiri, and it's meaningless to carry more cold weapons in such a battle." Qishi explained to the other party expressionlessly, "You take my knife and retreat, and return it to me when you go back tomorrow." ”

Then, without giving the other party a chance to refuse, she flew and jumped away.

The man did not retreat to the rear for peace after taking the sword, and he rushed into the enemy line like the others.

After all, isn't it this moment that the guy who was originally just a ronin joined the Shinsengumi and participated in this Ikedaya battle?

They are not fighting for the sake of death, nor are they fighting for their lives. Both sides just want to prove that some of the things carved into the bones have not rotted because of the changes of the times.

……

……

Once again, it was not an enemy that stopped in front of Qishi, but a misty cut incense.

At such a tense moment, it is a little out of place for two women to appear at the core of the "battlefield", but they all have their own reasons for appearing here at this moment.

"Haven't you left yet?" Looking at the woman who was almost dragging her body in front of her, she was already a little irritable girl, and she was even more irritable at the moment, her brain seemed to be burned on a hot charcoal fire, Qishi didn't understand it very much, there have been too many things that she didn't understand today, and now another one has come out.

She very much didn't want Yuuka to stay in a place like Kyoto, but Yuuka just showed up and stood in front of her again and again, which made Nanami wonder if her solemn goodbye in the morning was a joke.

"Let's go." Although he was impatient, Qishi still suppressed his emotions and didn't let himself get angry.

Yuuka gasped, running back and forth like this was really very difficult for her who lacked exercise on weekdays, but Yuuka still gritted her teeth and carried it, just like she said to Takanomiya.

Kiri Yuka has something that has to be confirmed with Asakura Nanami.

"If I don't come back, you, ahem—" Her voice was soft, but it was something she was trying her best to convey to the other party right now.

"Are you going to die here?"

"I told you, I'm not going to die this time." Nanami no longer had the joy of seeing Yuuka when she woke up from her coma, and now she just begged Yuuka to leave quickly.

"Then, let's assume that Nanami Asakura has died in battle." Yuuka suddenly said, "Just when you're dead." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Then you can leave, because you're dead, and the rest of the battle has nothing to do with you."

"Yuuka...... What are you talking about. ”

"Sure enough, it's the same as what Eagle Nai Gong said."

"Eagle Naigong ......" Yuuka will appear here It seems that that person can't get out of it, Qishi gritted her teeth, she never calculated what that person in Yingnaigong would do, that woman was really crazy.

"Qishi, what are you asking for?" Yuuka asked her

And she looked at Yuuka's eyes, which were indescribably sad.

“…… Extravagant ......"

"Can't you have room for pain in your life?" Yuuka was almost questioning Nanami.

"The time I was rescued from Yoshihara, why did you save someone who had nothing to do with you, what did my life and death have to do with you at that time."

"That, politician, the corpse of Hachiro Kiyokawa, even though he is already a dead man, you risk his body as soon as you want."

From the time Yoshiwara met,Yuuka should have seen the nature of Nanami.,A strong and kind girl.,After that, although a lot of things happened to change Nanami's personality and once became a ghost sword in his mouth.,But after making up her mind to leave the Shinsengumi, the girl seems to be back.。

"You don't care about the Restoration, you don't care about the shogunate, you just want to take on some kind of responsibility...... You can't tolerate pain in your eyes, will you back down this time? ”

Yuuka has said too much today, and she doesn't know when she started to know so much about Qishi.

"You don't have any big ambitions, but your ambitions are so terrible."

"Use the sword in your hand to save people from fire and water, Qishi, what do you want to become?"

Yuuka's words made Nanami stunned.

All the while, what she did, what she did after her father's death, what she felt.

Emotions that belong to modern people, a worldview cultivated in eighteen years of peaceful world, were brought to this era by her.

She couldn't stand the suffering of others in front of her.

"Run."

Yuuka approached the seven realities step by step.

"Don't stay here."

Qishi shook his head.

"If you really want to leave, you don't have to keep your promise to the Shinsengumi, no one can stop you."

Qishi stepped back.

"Let's go."

"A lot of people died here!! What I killed!! Someone else killed!! To protect me! If I'm gone, won't their lives be a joke!! ”

It was a life that was achieved by the years, second by second.

"Really...... Sure enough, you're that kind of person. Yuuka stopped and smiled reassuringly.

Then Nanami saw the enemy soldiers who appeared behind Yuuka, at the corner of the alley, and they aimed at Yuuka's back with metal death.

Without time to think about why the enemy was in this location, she almost threw herself at Yuuka, who didn't know anything yet, with all her might.

"Shoot!!"

Shen Su, who has always been regarded as her strongest weapon by Qishi, is very weak at the moment, and she tries her best to make herself faster and faster, but there is still no way to get to Yuuka's side one step faster than a bullet.

The woman's smile is beautiful.

Nanami didn't want that smile to freeze here.

The sound of the bursts of bullets seemed clearer to her than everything else.
