There was an incident that reached the ears of the chief secretary of the trial hall when Tani Zaogen and his party had just arrived in Edo, and the news sounded like a joke to everyone.

"Do you know that Tani Hayagen's men were repelled by one while pursuing Shiro Uchida."

"It's said to be a woman, probably a youkai in the mountains."

After hearing this, Okita Soji just laughed it off and treated it as a rumor, after all, these words were a joke no matter how they sounded, and I was afraid that it was some kind of nonsense that came out to amuse the noble samurai uncle.

Then, with this rumor, Qishi came, completely different from nine years ago, and the girl who had grown up had no swordsmanship that did not lose him. The head secretary thought of the rumor again, and he felt that the person who defeated Gu Zaogen's soldiers was Qishi.

After a lot of things in just one month, after mentioning the ability of the seven realities to Isamu Kondo, he said that if he could keep the seven realities, he must stay, and this sharp blade ronin group must be held in his hands.

"So when Qishi said that she was leaving, you thought of the rumors about Gu Zaoyuan."

"Yes, he is also going to Kyoto from Edo, and it is reported that Brother Kondo also knows that Gu Hayagen will come to the door to find trouble with the ronin group, so I chose to travel in Gu Hayagen for a day."

The Director-General said

"From beginning to end, I didn't expect Nanami to be in the Ronin Group, if she didn't give us a ride, if Gu Zaogen wasn't here at the time, if Nanami wasn't moved by my behavior. She will not be left behind. ”

I never expected her to stay, but unfortunately, God was not on the side of Qishi.

"Okita-kun, can you really tell me this?"

Yuuka asked. The general secretary came to Qishi to no avail, and then actually told her this.

"If I tell Qishi this, Qishi will no longer scruple and leave directly, don't you understand this kind of thing?"

"I understand." The director smiled and swept away his depressed appearance. "This is the end, as long as you tell the truth to Qishi, she will leave. Yuuka, let me comfort my despicable self in this way. ”

"But in this way, it means that I am also deceiving the seven truths...... You're very cunning, Okita-kun. ”

"I'm sorry. Speaking of which, did Seven Realities go to the kitchen? ”

"Hmm."

You and I are accomplices now.

"Okita-kun, Nanami hasn't changed, she has a strange concept that is ingrained in her bones, and she trusts people close to her too easily."

It's strange that the soul of Asakura Nanami and the world do not fit, what kind of calm environment can be shaped in that soul? She is not stupid, but she is so ignorant. It's so ignorant that people can't help but imagine how good it would be if everyone was like Qishi.

"Yes, it's not like you and me." Our masks have been worn in countless layers.

"I won't tell Nanashi."

"Thank you."

"So, Okita-kun, you must protect Nanami. She's too weak in a sense. ”

"If you dare to say that the seven are weak, you are the only one in this world."

Soji Okita went to find Nanami, Yuuka went back to her room and sat down in a daze, she thought of the boy who rushed out of the fire with her arms in her arms that night, and the scorching temperature seemed to still linger on her body, not from the flames, but from the boy's arms.

"Okita ......"

Yuuka now sincerely hopes that it would be better if it was Nanami who saved herself at that time.

—————————————————————————

The work in the Ronin team is unexpectedly easy, and on weekdays, Nanami is responsible for recruiting new people, and Isamu Kondo's attitude towards Nanami is very subtle, and she doesn't even have a chance to kill. Occasionally, the patrol mission is also during the day, and a few scoundrels who make trouble in the streets have been arrested, and as for the reformers, there is not a single hair.

Nanami's knowledge of Japanese history is almost blank, so she doesn't understand the style of those who are committed to the revolution, but I'm afraid that it is true that as Yuuka said at the time, the people of the Restoration are only trying to control the country by themselves, and the respect for the king is an excuse. But these troublesome things Qishi doesn't want to understand. She still has the heart to leave, and she will leave when she has the opportunity.

Then, after two months of peace, one of the shogunates in Kyoto was assassinated, along with all five of his bodyguards, and although he was not a high-ranking minister, he still caused a panic, and everyone said that the executioner had come to punish the wicked.

There were also people in the Ronin group who went to examine the corpse, and they were also extremely curious about this skilled executioner, and when the opponent first appeared, they could not tell the enemy's school from the wounds of the corpse.

"Use an anonymous genre?" Seven realities are puzzled. "Have you ever seen Serizawa Duck? It's impossible for him not to recognize him with his knowledge, right? ”

In the past two months, she has fought against Serizawa Duck several times, and she really has nothing to say about its strength, and her knowledge is definitely the highest in the current Ronin group.

"Nope." The general director is taking care of the knife, and today he came back from a mission, and he went to Qishi to tell her the news on the way.

"That man, very powerful." Qishi said, "General Division, I'll go and see it too." ”

"Well, I'll show you the way later."

"By the way, I didn't see Yuuka, what about her?"

"Yuuka is very busy, busier than me, chores can be done for half a day, and sometimes I will help her when I am free."

The number of ronins is growing at a very slow rate. It became a little difficult for Yuka and her grandmother at that time to deal with it, and it felt like it was time to hire some more people.

"Hmm"

Anyway, the head secretary took Qishi to the place where the corpse was contained, and they were naturally not qualified to see the corpse of the samurai master, but his guards were only poor people, and they could still be checked by the identity of the ronin group.

So it didn't take much effort, and Nanami saw the bodies of the five people.

"Dead people are also unconsciously accustomed to ......" Since when have you become strange about dead people?

"From the wound, it feels like a manifestation, but ...... Such a chopping wound and the need for a faster knife is not enough to show the flow. "Director-General

Explain to Qishi.

"I don't know anything about genres."

Qishi looked at these people, she didn't understand what the sword wounds caused by various schools were, and now she really couldn't see a clue.

“……”

But the more I observed, the more familiar it became, and it felt like I had seen such a corpse somewhere.

“……”

What did the man who killed his father look like? What were those thieves and villains like who were killed by Kiyojuro Hiko?

"What's the matter, Qishi? You've got a clue......"

The head secretary noticed that Qishi's expression had changed, no longer indifferent, but as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"Nope."

The people who were killed by the Flying Sword Stream are the same as these five people are now.

There are only three people in the world who will know this genre, and Bigu will not be involved in the struggle in the world, and he has not done it.

Kenshin, what are you doing?! Killing...... Kenshin: You're using the Flying Sword Stream to take the lives of people you've never met.

"By the way, Director-General, you go and help me and Kondo say that I want to participate in the night patrol of the Ronin Group, and I hope he will not refuse."

Qishi was very angry, very angry.
