Takanomiya sent off the two of the Shinsengumi in her heart, and peace returned to her house, and she would be back to Edo in a few days, where there were too many things to do, and she came to Kyoto purely because she was interested in the sudden situation here.

Where there is a contradiction, there is business, but not many people dare to do business in Kyoto, and an accidental loss is estimated to be fate. It's better to say that there have been three killers who have patronized this small mansion in the past few days since she came, and if it weren't for Kyoichi's protection, her beloved would have been in a different place.

"Kendo ......"

Beloved didn't want to learn kendo, she was very confident in everything, as long as she wanted to learn something from childhood to adulthood, there was nothing she couldn't learn, but she didn't have the desire to control the only force.

It's not good for a girl to dance a knife and a gun, but Nanami Asakura makes her eyes light up, and the girl wielding a sword has a possibility that she hasn't seen before.

Beloved looks down on women very much, and looks down on that kind of weak and powerless person, but today she smelled the same kind of breath on Qishi.

It was the smell of rust that could only be left after being baptized by a black ship

Refreshing.

"Kendo, let's ask Kyoichi for advice when I go back."

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that it was such a woman who prompted the rise of the Eagle Palace?

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Niimi Nishiki committed suicide by seppuku, and although Nanami did not have a close relationship with this person, Shinmi Nishiki was a director of the Shinsengumi after all.

One of the three bureau chiefs ended his own life by himself, Shinsengumi! There are only two directors left, and everyone knows that the relationship between Nimi-Nishiki and Serizawa is very close.

On the surface, it was just an accident, and the members of the group were still doing their own things, but secretly everyone knew what it meant.

It's time for a change of day, and it's time to clean up the impurities in this new selection group.

Late that night, after everyone except the night patrol had already fallen asleep, Nanami climbed out of the bed, got dressed, and secretly opened the door to get out.

"Seven realities? Where are you going? Yuuka didn't fall asleep, and the movement of Nanami getting up alarmed her.

"Today, it's time for me to go on a night patrol."

"Is your body okay?"

"There's no problem anymore." Nanami quietly tied her hair into a bunch, and Yuuka didn't see anything wrong with her tone.

"Yuuka, you can rest quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow, you've been very tired lately."

"Be careful, then, the executioner has been doing a bit lately."

"Well, thanks for worrying, but it's okay, rest in peace." Nanami brought a knife and left Yuka with a smile to reassure him, and then went out.

Yuuka watched Nanami's shadow disappear and then lay down to sleep after a while.

"Lying."

Qishi is so lame even if she pretends to be calm. Anyone can tell at a glance that she's lying, and besides, Yuuka knows that Nanami hasn't been working at night lately.

As for the reason why she lied, Yuuka didn't dig deeper.

Qishi memorized the patrol time and route of the members of the group, and it was not difficult for her to remember these things, she only needed to look at them to understand them.

Yuuka saw through it, Nanami really didn't go on a night patrol, she sneaked into Serizawa Duck's study, which was still lit, and the faint candlelight illuminated the entire room, and Serizawa Duck's figure could be discerned from the silhouette of the window, and it seemed that he hadn't rested yet.

"Who?" His voice came from inside the door, still thick but with some tiredness hidden inside. "Asakura......

There is no need for Nanami to report his name, and the entire Shinsengumi will probably never be able to find a second swordsman like Nanami.

"I'm in."

"Hmm."

Pushing the door in, then gently closing it again, Nanami sat down opposite Serizawa Duck.

This man is not good at words, he is more willing to do things silently with a straight face than talking, at this time Qishi came, he didn't ask anything but continued to deal with official business, very calm.

"Someone wants to kill you."

Nanami hesitated for a long time before deciding to come to Serizawa Duck and tell the other party about the plan to assassinate him.

This man is not a damned man.

"Shinmi Nishiki is dead, and when he dies, he is telling me that I should die too."

Serizawa is still indifferent when he talks about his life and death, as if he is watching a Kabuki performance, and he is just an inconsequential actor.

"Run." Qishi said, "You don't deserve to die. ”

"Only in this respect, Asakura-kun, you look like a woman." Serizawa Duck sighed that the seven realities were not realized.

"Who's damned?"

"Wicked."

"Yes, the wicked deserve to die, so I'm the wicked." The tiredness in his voice was swept away, and Serizawa said, "The choice between me and Nishimi Nishiki is to leave the Shinsengumi to Isamu Kondo." ”

This sentence is helpless and decisive.

"Aren't you going to run away?"

"Asakura-kun, if you came to me today just for this matter, then I will ask you to keep your life." Serizawa said, "How far do you want to give your favors?" ”

His attitude is resolute, he really wants to die, unlike Nanami's thoughts, Serizawa Duck fully understands his situation but he has no intention of wanting to save his life at all.

He stared into Nanami's eyes.

Serizawa was questioning her at this time.

'Who deserves to die?' He was damned when he chose to leave the past behind and step one foot into this Shinsengumi, and so did Isamu Kondo, everyone deserves to die, but he made that time a little earlier due to his actions and current situation.

Persuasion was fruitless, and Qishi was expelled.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Shortly after that day passed, the people led by Serizawa Duck clashed with ordinary people, and Serizawa Duck used artillery, affecting many people.

Isamu Kondo decided to dispose of the cancer of the Shinsengumi, and then took advantage of Serizawa's tryst with the geisha to join forces with several powerful swordsmen of the Shinsengumi to besiege and kill this ugly thug who did evil deeds in the name of the Shinsengumi.

Serizawa's head was cut off, and he did die. Dead with all the stigma of the previous Shinsengumi.

Nanami saw the head of Serizawa Duck.

As for him, he has practiced the Shinto Mindless Flow for so many years, and in the end, all he did was fight a battle that was bound to be lost. Isamu Kondo gave him the reputation he deserved as a strong swordsman.

Serizawa duck bathed the Shinsengumi with his own blood.

You see, today's Shinsengumi is clean.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

PS: I'm so sorry. I was disturbed by a book review today, and I may not be able to say it, but I have been writing this chapter since 7 o'clock in the evening, and I have only completed this 2000-word chapter that is not good, maybe I am really a brain-dead, as the book friend said. It takes me a long time every day to code a chapter, and you have four sentences, rewarding me with one brain-dead and one sick. I was flattered.
