01. Team Four

Asakiri was found next to the man's body, and when Nanami pulled out the asakiri that had been inserted in the dirt, she looked at the face of the man who had died, and he did not follow the agreement to return Asakiri to Nanami with his own hands, and many people in this era are stubborn and terrible, and stubbornness seems to have become a contagious disease, and both men and women are hopelessly incurable once they suffer from it.

Qishi participated in the aftermath of the war, although the scale of the war was far less huge than the so-called war that was once known, but Qishi really felt the breath from the war.

Ended by her own hands, everything that hurts.

At that time, the power she showed, after coming back to her senses, even she herself would feel incredible, because of the power that erupted because of the shaking of feelings, and what kind of sword moves she wanted to vent.

"Whew." The tear ducts dried up, she didn't want to cry anymore, and Yuuka's death was a foregone conclusion.

There is no end to my own pain.

"Asakura, go back." Keisuke Yamanan followed Nanami to find him, and the deputy head of the Shinsengumi was honestly worried about whether the current Nanami would do anything out of the ordinary.

Qishi looked at the rising sun, she didn't go back to rest but did the work she shouldn't do, what was it for.

"Mr. Shannan." Nanami just glanced at him and picked up the dead man's body, intending to transport him to the place where the Shinsengumi had temporarily set up to register the identity of the deceased.

"Mr. Shannan, wait for me a little longer."

It may take a while for her to make herself less sad.

The deputy chief looked at the back of this swordsman, she was not as strong as last night, and all she could read now was deep loneliness.

"Really...... It's a busy time. "For example, take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely wipe out the remaining guys hiding in Kyoto.

"By the way, Mr. Shannan, how is he now?"

Qishi saw the scene of the head secretary coughing up blood with his own eyes yesterday, and now even if he is sluggish, he knows that the head secretary may be suffering from some terrible disease.

"The director has ordered him to rest, that guy has been holding on, and his willpower is terrible."

"Have you rested?"

After hearing this, she felt a little relieved. As for Kenshin, with his ability, I hope to be safe.

"Mr. Shannan, I'm strong, right?" Inexplicably, Nanami suddenly asked, Nanami has always been a very modest swordsman, and she would never ask others about such things, so Shannan Keisuke was still a little surprised, but he still calmly answered Qishi's question.

"Very strong, at least in my experience, you are the strongest person I have ever met."

“……”

Thank you, the girl's voice is very small, but looking at the shape of her mouth, this is probably what she said.

Hope you don't get lost again.

……

……

The Ikedaya incident ended with the triumphal victory of the Shinsengumi, each of whom was a bloodied rakshasa who returned from the Shinsengumi, and the pedestrians on the road naturally made way for them and looked at them blankly, talking and full of horror.

After all, the wolf of Mibu was already terrifying, and after this incident, the prestige became even more prominent, and everyone knew that the Shinsengumi would become a terrible organization, although they were not shogunes, but it was only a matter of time before their influence surpassed that of the Kankai group, and it was already a certainty that they would be made shogunates, and compared to the supreme faction that had suffered heavy losses, the Shinsengumi seemed to have gained great benefits.

Only the Seven Truths don't think so.

The one who kills others, the one who is slain, the fight never brings true joy to both sides, but weariness that goes deep into the marrow.

“！”

In this way, Qishi was thinking while observing the crowd with his peripheral vision, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the red figure hidden in the crowd with a hat.

Kenshin.

It seems to be safe.

"The smell of blood." Saito Ichi, who was walking beside Nanami, said with a smile, this is a vicious guy with a sensitive nose, because Saito Ichi usually walks in with the head office, so Nanami is also a little familiar with him, and his whispered words have not escaped Nanami's ears at this moment.

Sure enough, did you find out?

"Don't care." Saito: "It's you, what are your plans next, leaving the Shinsengumi?" ”

The man was right, Nanami was able to leave the Shinsengumi without any punishment, because Isamu Kondo had promised her, and Isamu Kondo had never been one to break his promises.

Nanami did not answer Saito's question.

Or that there is no need to answer.

Everyone watched the Shinsengumi go away, and then there was a lot of discussion.

……

……

That night, all the main people of the Shinsengumi meeting, including Soji Okita, who suffered from lung disease, was not absent, and as for Nanami, he was obviously just an ordinary member, but he also participated because of his indispensable contributions.

Kondo's words were concise and to the point, he couldn't do such a thing as commending everyone, you must know that everyone here is not sitting here to be praised, all they are waiting for is the battle, the moment when they fight to death in the troubled times at the end of the scene.

"As you all know, it was just the first game, and then, in this first matchup, we got the win."

But the price to pay for this is very heavy.

Many people died, including Tadashi Matsubara, the captain of the fourth team.

"In order to prepare for the next battle, first of all, we want to choose a new captain of the fourth team."

When Isamu Kondo mentioned the new Shiban team, everyone turned their attention in the direction where Nanami Asakura was.

"First of all, Asakura-kun, are you still holding on to the idea of leaving the Shinsengumi now," Kondo asked Nanami what he thought.

The girl was sitting in place, she looked directly into Kondo's eyes and didn't speak, as if she was thinking, but others couldn't find the confusion in her eyes, maybe she already had the answer to Nanami's question.

"I'm not going to leave." She said.

This was not a surprise to Isamu Kondo, who had expected it from the time Nanami stepped forward and rushed into the enemy formation.

With the dead Yuuka, if you don't choose to flee, then you won't run again.

"The position of captain of the fourth team, you can take it in, although it is too young to be a woman, but I believe that everyone will not doubt your strength, and now the most qualified person in the Shinsengumi to take over the position of Matsubara-kun is probably only you."

This meeting seems to have been held specifically to address the instability of Nanami, who used to hold a position that was not commensurate with her in the Shinsengumi, which made her seem like a person who was outside the system, and if she became the captain of the fourth team, she would never be able to get out again.

"Mr. Matsubara gave up his life to save me." Qishi's tone was very solemn.

"In terms of character and will, I don't think I'm at all inferior to Mr. Matsubara." Does she still want to refuse and continue to stay in Shinsengumi with a half-mentality?

"However, I still feel that I have what it takes to be the captain of the Shinsengumi Fourth Team."

The Seven Truths say so

"I hope to be able to take over this position, I wonder if you gentlemen have any objections."

She sat up straight, as if trying to show that her heart was now unshakable.

No one will have any objections, because this is the result that everyone expects.

"Then, I'll step back first, I want to be personally responsible for Miss Kirkiri's funeral."

After that, he didn't get any consent, so he got up and left.

As the door was slammed shut, Isamu Kondo sighed as he said to everyone.

"Asakura Nanami, she finally has a temper, and I don't know if it's good or bad."

Whether it's good or bad, no one can tell.

Nanami returned to the room she had been living in, and it didn't seem to be any different from two days ago, and everything was decorated as it had been when she left.

The only difference is that only one set of beds remains.

Only at this moment can Qishi truly feel the loneliness that cannot be ignored, as well as the emptiness in his heart.

Replaced with the cherry blossom sleeves made for her by Yuuka, which was counted as a memorial, and the sake that Nanami was going to come drank alone.

"Yuuka, I also have my stubbornness."

Vaguely, Nanami has an idea of what she can do, she didn't run away as Yuuka said, but she will still abide by the agreement with Yuuka.

While being stubborn, live.

……

……

The new captain of the fourth team of the Shinsengumi, Nanami Asakura.

The news spread throughout Kyoto the next day, and as word spread to more people's ears.

They couldn't help but focus their "eyes" on this terrible swordsman.
