four days ago.

As soon as Haruka left, Tsurumaru took out the props to change the scenery and prepared to start his own business.

He did not act immediately, but went out quietly to find Kitsunesuke.

He had to see if Kitsunesuke had spread the news of Tsurumaru Kuninaga's broken sword.

When Tsurumaru found Kitsunesuke, it was carving patterns on tablets in the large hall, and it looked like it was working very hard.

He found a secluded place to hide and watched the developments.

As dinner time was approaching, other swords began to appear in the hall.

The first reason was to come and eat, and the second was that they also wanted to see what kind of person the new Shinsengumi was.

The representative of Awataguchi was Yagen Toushirou, who walked into the Great Hall cautiously, but there was only Kitsunesuke here.

Without seeing the Shinsengumi, Yagen Toushirou relaxed a lot. He walked to Kitsunesuke, curious about its strange behavior: "Kitsunesuke, what are you doing?"

Kitsunesuke stopped carving and replied with a forced smile: "Your Highness Tsurumaru, the knife is broken. I am carving a tablet for him."

"How could this be?!" Yagen Toushirou was very surprised.

Tsurumaru is one of the earliest swordsmen in Honmaru. One can imagine how powerful he is. Moreover, after being infected by the aura of darkness, his aggressiveness has become even stronger.

How could the sword break so easily? Was it because he attacked the new Shinsengumi?

Yagen Toushirou's expression became solemn. He gritted his teeth and sought answers from Kitsunesuke: "Are you sure the sword was broken? Was it done by the Shinsengumi?"

The Shinsengumi's strength and means must be very different to be able to kill Tsurumaru.

If this is really the case, they'd better take action first before the Shinsengumi vents his anger on them.

The assassination plan was almost taking shape in Yagen Toushirou's mind, and then he heard Kitsunesuke sobbing.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I hit and killed Lord Tsurumaru. Before he left, he said he wanted a carved tablet."

Kitsunesuke wiped away his tears and continued to carve on the tablet. He was determined to fulfill Lord Tsurumaru's last wish!

"what?"

Yagen Toushirou found it hard to believe, but when he thought about how Kitsunesuke was usually very stupid, he didn't take his words too seriously.

He suppressed his murderous intent and continued to ask Kitsunesuke: "Where is the Shinsengumi? I just went to the Shinsengumi's room and he's not there."

Kitsunesuke didn't think much about it. He continued carving while answering Yakumo: "Shinsen-sama will not live in the previous room."

"He should be on the second floor of the empty building in the southeast corner now. It seems he is going to live there."

After Yao Yan found out the information he wanted, he stood up calmly and said, "Really? Then I'll go deliver dinner to the Shinsengumi."

He decided to find out the truth again. If it was the same as the previous Shinsengumi, then for the safety of others, he would not hesitate even if it meant dying together with them.

"Is it really possible? Thank you so much, Your Highness Yaken!" Kitsunesuke was very naive and had no doubt about Yaken's purpose at all.

Yaken left the Ohiroma and was planning to go to the place that Kitsunesuke mentioned.

"You seem to be planning to do something interesting. How about taking me with you?" Kashuai Qingguang, who had been eavesdropping outside, stopped Yaoyan.

The two of them looked at each other, and although they didn't mention what the matter was specifically, they walked towards the southeast corner together tacitly.

There are many empty houses here, but there is only one small building on the second floor.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu lay in ambush outside the door, while Yaoyan went to knock on the door.

"Shinsen-sama, I'm Yagen Toushirou. Kitsunesuke asked me to bring you dinner."

There was no response from behind the door, so Yao Yan knocked again: "Shinsen-sama?"

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound in the room.

Could it be that he discovered their intention and hid himself? Yao Yan muttered to himself.

He gestured to Kashuai Kiyomitsu, indicating that he should stay where he was, then he drew his dagger and pushed the door open.

"Then I'm coming in."

Yao Yan said this, but he moved swiftly and headed straight for places where it was easy to hide.

After searching the entire house, he was sure that it was just an empty room.

Yaoyan went out to explain the situation to California Qingguang, and he shook his head: "There is no one inside."

Kashuu Kiyomitsu put away his sword, puzzled: "Kitsunesuke lied to us?"

Although it is possible that Kitsunesuke lied to them in order to protect the Shinsengumi, they did not believe that Kitsunesuke had such good acting skills.

"Let's go, I'll ask this time." Kashuai Qingguang wanted to try again.

By the time Yaken and Kashuu Kiyomitsu returned to the Ohiroma, almost all the swords in the Honmaru had arrived.

"Has Mr. Tsurumaru's sword really been broken?" Gokotui was struggling to digest this fact.

The others also had mixed emotions on their faces. Tsurumaru's strength was one of the best in Honmaru. Even he couldn't defeat the Shinsengumi?

In this sad atmosphere, Kitsunesuke wanted to kowtow to each of them: "I'm sorry..."

With Kitsunesuke's repeated confirmation, everyone had to believe that Tsurumaru was really gone.

"Kitsunesuke, where is the Shinsengumi?" Kashuu Kiyomitsu grabbed Kitsunesuke by the scruff of the neck.

Kitsunesuke struggled: "Let me go, Your Highness California, your tone is so fierce, what are you going to do to the Shinsengumi?"

Yaoyan pressed down Kashuu Kiyomitsu's hand and said to Kitsunesuke in a soft voice, "When we delivered dinner just now, we didn't find the Shinsengumi in the room. Mr. Kiyomitsu was just a little worried."

After hearing Yaken's explanation, Kitsunesuke put aside his doubts.

"I see. The Shinsengumi-sama might have gone out for a walk."

Kitsunesuke shook his ears, remembering what happened in the afternoon. He was a little angry: "Everyone's attitude is too bad. What if the new Shinsengumi runs away?"

"There's no way we can get along well with the Shinsengumi like this!"

When the topic of accepting the Shinsengumi was brought up, the hall suddenly became quiet and no one responded to Kitsunesuke's words.

"I'm full, let's go back and rest." He walked out with Tian Guanzhengguo.

Souzo Sawamonji took Sayo Sawamonji's hand and said, "Are you full, Sayo?"

"Yeah, I'm full." Sayo Samonji held Souzo Samonji's hand tightly.

"Then let's go back."

Sozo Sahmonji and Sayo Sahmonji also left.

Yaken called out to the swordsmen of the Awataguchi faction, "Are you guys full?"

"We are full, Brother Yaoyan, shall we go back too?" Fujishiro and others answered.

"Okay." Yao Yan nodded, pulled the Five Tigers back, and took his other brothers with him to leave the great hall.

As soon as Awataguchi's short swordsmen left, most of the area was suddenly empty.

The remaining swords each found their own reasons and left one after another, leaving only Kitsunesuke and Mikazuki in the great hall.

"Hey! Why are you all like this!" Kitsunesuke shouted at their backs.

"Hahaha, well, well, it's time for me to rest." Mikazuki smiled, and then left Kitsunesuke alone in the Ohirama.

Kitsunesuke is very sad. Tsurumaru is gone, and everyone is still so resistant to the new Shinsengumi. What should they do next?

Never mind, let’s just finish the task at hand first, Kitsunesuke thought in self-deprecation.

Kitsunesuke, who was immersed in his carving work, did not notice that the scene around him was slowly changing.

Why did the temperature suddenly drop? Kitsunesuke looked up subconsciously, and then his eyes met with the black shadow hiding in the corner.

The twisted figure clinging in the gap moved slightly, and the pair of golden eyes that emitted a faint light even in the dark stared at Kitsunesuke intently.

Kitsunesuke closed his eyes, put down his carving knife stiffly, and walked out the door with his hands and feet together: "It seems like it's time to go to bed. I'm so sleepy."

The moment it stepped over the threshold, it almost left an afterimage.

Help! Something dirty has entered the Honmaru! Kitsunesuke shouted silently, wanting only to escape as far away as possible.

Tsurumaru came out from the corner and moved his body. He had been hiding for a whole day and his body was numb.

"This time I will definitely give everyone a shock." Tsurumaru looked at the scene in Honmaru slowly changing with great satisfaction.

The next day, Yaken woke up from his daze. It was not yet completely light, but he was surrounded by Toushirou.

"What's wrong?" Yao Yan asked.

He rubbed his temple. He had been thinking about the Shinsengumi last night and went to bed too late. He had a headache today.

Did something happen while he was asleep? Even Minghu was called.

Although Minghu is also from the Awataguchi sword school, his sword is not a short sword. If you must say, he can be considered the uncle of Toushirou and others.

"Yaken-nii, Honmaru has become so scary, we don't even have water to wash our faces."

"When faces grew on vegetables, Mr. Guangzhong didn't dare to eat them."

"Brother Yaoyan..."

The brothers were talking about strange things at once, and Yaoyan felt a more and more headache the more he listened. Did he sleep for a long time?

Minghu calmed down Toushirou and the others, and briefly told Yaken about the current situation of Honmaru: "Anyway, it has become a haunted house."

The little fox on Minghu's shoulder added the next words for him: "However, Mr. Sanriku and the others checked it carefully and found that only the appearance of the things had changed."

Even though the water has turned red, it is still clean water. Even though the fruits and vegetables have grown human faces, they are still harmless food.

"So we speculate that the scenery of the Honmaru was changed to this."

Such a large-scale change in scenery requires a lot of spiritual power, and only the Shinsengumi have the authority to modify the scenery of Honmaru.

"Is the Shinsengumi crazy?" Yaken couldn't understand the Shinsengumi's purpose in doing this. It couldn't be that he was trying to intimidate them, right?

Minghu sighed and denied Yaoyan's guess: "The Shinsengumi is gone."

Even Kitsunesuke couldn't find the Shinsengumi, but even if it was the Shinsengumi who gave up the Honmaru, the spiritual power in the Honmaru is still being supplied.

Minghu felt that Sanriku seemed to know something, because when he observed the expressions of other people, he found that Sanriku seemed to understand it very well.

"Let's gather at the Great Hall first and discuss it."

Now that there really is a new Shinsengumi taking over, how to live in peace in the future is something they will have to face sooner or later.
