In early spring, the cherry blossoms are scattered.

The drizzle was scattered.

Yuuka finished washing her clothes early in the morning and prepared to go back to her room. She is in charge of taking care of Qishi, so to speak, but at the beginning Qishi always gets up earlier than her, and when she wakes up, it is not dawn, but Qishi has already sorted out the housekeeping.

Refreshing and refreshing.

So she began to stay until Qishi fell asleep, and started her house work in the middle of the night.

If you don't speak, you are fighting in action.

Then Qishi changed his schedule in order to let Yuuka rest, and got up a little later.

Clumsy communication.

But Qishi subconsciously compromised with Yuuka.

Passing by the dojo, Okita was practicing.

He did not hold the sword, but practiced sliding steps, which is the basic movement of kendo, and the key to judging the strength of a swordsman.

Obviously he looked like a thin teenager, but with that thin body, Okita took her out of the fire and kept her unharmed.

This life actually has the value of being protected.

Yuuka didn't disturb Okita Soji's morning exercises, she passed in front of the boy, then bowed to him with a silent smile and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Miss Soi!"

But the general secretary stopped her after seeing Yuuka.

Although she was puzzled, she still stood honestly.

"Okita-kun looking for me, is there something wrong?"

Looking at the head office walking towards her step by step, Yuuka felt a little hot on her face, and she secretly moved the realization away, lowered her head slightly, and didn't dare to look directly into the head office's eyes again.

My heart was pounding.

"Miss Soi's hometown is in Nagasaki, right?"

“”

This sentence was like cold water poured on her head, and Yuuka's expression froze for a moment, and then she smiled softly again.

When it comes to smiling, no one is better at it than her.

"Indeed, my hometown is in Nagasaki."

Remain silent and unshaken.

"I'm sorry." The Director-General apologized to Yuuka.

"After all, something like that happened, if I want to keep you, there are some things I have to figure out after all."

The head office is not Qishi, and Shichishi has no channel to find out information in Edo, but the head secretary does, and it is easy for him to know about the qiē of Nakai Yuuka.

So he knows now.

"No, why apologize?" Yuuka said: "Actually, I've skimmed out the identity thing, and when I became a person named Yuuka Soi, there weren't many things that I could care about."

"There are really not many things that can make people who don't even care about their own lives care."

Unfortunately, what the general secretary is good at is to see through a person's heart, and for a person like him, Yuuka's heart is not buried deep enough.

"This time, Nanami is going to escort the caravan to Nagasaki, so you can go with you."

Put the roundabout things first, and the head office goes straight to the point.

"If you have some things on your mind, if you can't let go, go back and take a look at them, and walk around your hometown."

"That is to say, is it time to solve all my qiē?"

Brushing away the cherry blossom petals that had fallen on Yuka's shoulder, the head secretary gently pressed her eyebrows.

"Yuuka Sokai should disappear, and you should always let go of some baggage when you become Yuuka Matsushita, and you will be happier in that way."

There is nothing else to talk about, that's all there is to explain, there is nothing to worry about during the trip to Nagasaki, with the swordsmanship of Qishi, there are really not many people who can hurt her today, and the guarantee of safety is naturally very reliable.

As for life, it's good that Yuuka and Qishi don't worry about others, and the hands of the two girls are diligent and skillful.

"Okita-kun, I'm not going to commit suicide again."

Yuuka promised in a low voice.

“…… That's good. ”

He nodded, and this was to believe Yuuka's words.

Seeing that the head office went back to continue her morning exercise, she was also ready to go back, and walked slowly two steps, Yuuka leaned against the cherry blossom tree, so that she might be able to avoid the rain, and now the rain is gradually getting heavier unconsciously.

“……”

The pain in my heart became more and more painful.

Yuuka sat down like this, put down the wooden basin containing the clothes, and covered her chest.

Did she fall in love with Soji Okita?

"It's kind of ridiculous."

What love is, Yuuka never understood.

It's just that now the head office hugged her out of the window that night, and it is impossible to forget about it.

Seven is really preparing for tomorrow's trip, the knife is two, one long and one short, the short knife is self-defense, the long knife kills, as for the cut, the seven are maintained every day but never used, the meaning of this double-edged ** represents no need to be explained, take out its identity of the seven real exposed seven or eight, not to mention that the double-edged cut is too dangerous, and there is no room for life when it is taken out.

Qishi has seen a lot of this kind of shape in her previous life, but now her desire for the structure of the back of the knife is ridiculous even for Qishi herself.

"It's not like that."

I am so unbearable, do you dare to brazenly call yourself a swordsman?

"Clothes, I can't dry them for the time being."

Yuuka returned, her hair was drenched in the rain, a few strands of hair stuck to her face, and the clothes on her body were not protected, wetting half of her body.

"Let's change our clothes first, and I'll leave tomorrow, it's okay if you can't do this."

"Panasonic, aren't you going to practice swords today?"

"I'm always practicing."

Qishi walked, and the top of his head did not rise or fall. As long as she can, she will exercise her body, and some movements she can imitate perfectly, but at the beginning, she also suffered a lot because of the inappropriateness of her specific body muscle area.

When she was practicing, in order to be able to react and move like her master, the foundation of Qishi was very solid, and it was because of this that she was able to learn so lightly with the three thrusts of the head secretary.

The body is ready to learn that move.

Consciously, physically, perfect.

"You swordsmen, I don't understand."

Yuuka sat down and made tea for Qishi, she had learned the tea ceremony, and the form was very beautiful.

"Nagasaki is my hometown."

"I see."

Qishi drinks tea, this bitter taste, she actually likes it a little now, if it is in the past, she will not be able to drink it.

"The reason why the Director-General asked you to walk with me, how could it be to take care of me."

She said

"You really think I'm a little ghost." The person in charge of the general department thought that I was too fragile, and Qi Shi thought in his heart, and he was not a glass heart.

"Well, my father used to be a businessman and did business in Nagasaki."

"Nagasaki is a seaport city with a thriving business."

"Yes, after all, when the country was closed to the rest of the world, the only open seaport in Japan was in Nagasaki."

Yuuka grew up in Nagasaki and grew up watching merchant ships with her father.

Netherlands, China, etc.

The black boat that only belongs to Yuuka came a little earlier than the others.
