Kitsunesuke in Honmaru had already noticed the changes in the spiritual power in Honmaru, and had been sitting next to the time and space converter in Honmaru waiting for the team to set out.

The light dissipated and eight figures appeared out of thin air.

Kitsunesuke looked calm and didn't seem to care about Shi's disappearance. Instead, he ran to the female student's feet with an attentive look on his face.

"Shinsen-sama, congratulations on your successful promotion. Please follow me to sign the Honmaru contract~"

The female students' supply of sword spiritual power on the battlefield is only for the six swords that follow them into battle. For the supply of spiritual power required for other swords in the Honmaru and the normal operation of the Honmaru, the female students need to sign additional contracts.

Seeing Kitsunesuke's attitude, Fukuzawa Sakura realized that she had made the right bet -

Ever since Fukuzawa Sakura knew that trainee Shinsengumi needed to train with official Shinsengumi for a period of time, she had a question -

Why don't we train apprentice Shinsengumi in a centralized manner like schools do, but instead assign different formal Shinsengumi to teach them like mentors teach students?

Not only is it difficult to ensure the teaching quality of each formal Shinsengumi, but it is also easy for different Shinsengumi to form factions.

If preventing the unification party can be prevented by relying on Kitsune's surveillance, how can the learning of the trainee Shinsengumi be guaranteed?

If the purpose is simply to prevent information related to spiritual power from causing confusion, after the apprentice Shinsengumi learns about spiritual power, there should be special assessments or other measures to ensure the learning progress of each apprentice Shinsengumi.

However, Fukuzawa Sakura had been in Honmaru for such a long time, but Shi had never taught her anything. When Fukuzawa Sakura was too naughty, Shi even threatened her to listen to him by saying that "the 'graduation' of an apprentice Shinsengumi depends entirely on the subjective judgment of a formal Shinsengumi". However, Fukuzawa Sakura did not have much interest in "graduation", so after Shi found that this threat did not work, he let Fukuzawa Sakura do whatever she wanted.

Therefore, Fukuzawa Sakura guessed that the fundamental purpose of this model was not to teach apprentice Shinsengumi.

Just like the one-to-one master-apprentice system in ordinary companies, the existence of apprentices is a guarantee for the company. It ensures that after the master leaves the company, the apprentice can take over the work that the master was responsible for, so that there will be no situation where no one can handle the work, causing huge losses to the company.

This protection also applies to Honmaru.

After all, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. If the official Shinsengumi unfortunately dies on the battlefield, the apprentice Shinsengumi who is still in the Honmaru will temporarily take over the Honmaru of the official Shinsengumi.

On the one hand, the trainee Shinsengumi who was trained by the official Shinsengumi is most familiar with the situation of Honmaru and can take over the affairs of Honmaru at the fastest speed;

On the other hand, if other official Shinsengumi are transferred from outside to take over, not only will the transfer procedures be complicated, but the time it takes to arrange for the Shinsengumi to go to Honmaru after layers of review will be enough for the swordsmen to kill countless enemies. Moreover, the newly appointed Shinsengumi will inevitably be compared with his predecessor by the apprentice Shinsengumi. It would be fine if the current one is better, but if he is not good enough, the apprentice Shinsengumi will not obey the official Shinsengumi, and this is not what the Toki government, which hopes to stabilize Honmaru, wants to see.

So when persuading the female student, Fukuzawa Sakura revealed this point - if she kills Shi, she can inherit everything.

However, the premise of inheritance is "accident", and Fukuzawa Sakura understands that the truth of this matter must never be known to others.

After all, the original purpose of this inheritance system is to maintain the stability of Honmaru. Once others know that trainee Shinsengumi can kill and rob, there will be a lot of trainee Shinsengumi who will do anything for the sake of immediate benefits.

By then, in order to maintain the stability of other Honmaru, the government of the time would certainly order the punishment of the relevant personnel, and even the swords of this Honmaru might be shattered for suspected assistance in murder.

This is the truth. No matter how stupid the female student is, as the criminal who killed Shi with her own hands, she would be careful to conceal the fact.

Therefore, the only people involved in this matter are——

After watching the female student leave with Kitsunesuke, Fukuzawa Sakura turned around and said to the six remaining Tsukumogami:

"I'm sorry to see Shi leave, but we can't stop the appearance of Jianfeiweishi. Shi is a man of great righteousness, willing to sacrifice himself to protect us. But please don't worry, he left for us, I will take good care of you for him and for this Honmaru."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Fukuzawa Sakura's words, the six Fusangshen knelt on one knee, lowered their heads, and said in unison:

"The former Shinsengumi-sama is righteous, and I thank the apprentice Shinsengumi-sama for his help."

It was easy to talk to Smart Sword. Seeing that the Tsukumogami understood what she meant, Fukuzawa Sakura nodded, turned around and went back to her room to rest.

After all, Fukuzawa Sakura still had things to do, so she needed to rest for a while and recharge her energy.
