[Thin Sakura Ghost] Summer Wind

When the weather started to turn slightly cooler, Bong learned from Qianji that the girl from Donggui's family rejected her proposal and asked to stay in the Shinsengumi. It is said that her attitude was quite firm.

At the same time, she also got the news that Chikage Kazama and her party returned to Kyoto at this time.

I thought, probably this was the reason why Qianji, who had felt indifferent a few days ago, suddenly changed her mind, but the person involved has made it clear that no one can force it.

At least Chikage Kazama doesn't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, which is a big help.

After calming down and weighing it carefully, Shiranui Bong could only sigh in the end, as he acquiesced to this result.

After that, Kazama took Amagari and her brother to harass Shinsengumi's Tun said a few times, she was naturally not interested in joining in the fun, not to mention, compared to these, Feng felt that he found Tsunami Yukimura first Whereabouts are more useful.

"I heard that the Shinsengumi has changed residences?" The purple-haired girl was lying on the porch in front of the court, her legs crossed lazily, with two wooden clogs that had been shaken off beside her, and she was casually flipping through the pages of the book, "Tsk, go and make a fuss, and they'll just change to a bigger place."

Shiranui Kuasa ignored his younger sister's tone of sarcasm or emotion, but secretly glanced at the other party's overly casual posture, and after struggling for a while, he decided to pretend he didn't see it: "It's over at Nishi Honganji Temple—speaking of it. Based on your detailed inquiries, do you intend to find the person surnamed Harada?"

"..." Wait, the amount of information in this sentence is a bit large, let her digest it first, no, wait a minute, the problem is—"Damn Nissan, how do you know!"

Then it became quiet and turned into Shiranui Kuang. He felt that his sister's words were a bit too informative, but before he could finish digesting them, Feng suddenly got up from the floor and waved his hands in a panic to start various explanations.

"Wait, that's not right, Nisan, I didn't mean that! I mean how did you know that I wanted to go find... Bah, I mean how did you know Harada... Hey, what kind of expression is that on you? You really misunderstood!" Feng girl suddenly felt like crying, but the so-called getting darker and darker probably refers to this kind of situation.

It was rare for Ah Feng to be so restless, and even blushed—although he didn't seem to notice it.

So Shiranui Kuang chose between holding his forehead and laughing out loud for a long time, but in the end he couldn't hold back and failed.

"...Smile, bastard!"

"I said Ah Feng..." After laughing enough, Kuang Shiranui stopped, stroked his chin and looked at Feng, "Are you serious?"

In the end, without waiting for the other party's answer, he started talking to himself again: "You guy has a sweetheart and you don't even tell me, but you call it a secret love? Or unrequited love or something..."

Bong rolled his eyes at Kuma Shiranui's smile, suddenly lost his mood for some reason.She grabbed the book at hand and lay straight back on the floor, covering the sun with the pages spread out, and at the same time covering all the expressions on her face.

"You bastard, and that Qianji guy, everyone is getting bored to death."

She spoke suddenly, a bit like a complaint, a bit like a reproach, and the tone became a little unreal through a layer of books.

"It's not always like that anyway." Feng's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it almost turned into a person's murmur.

"Anyway... nothing can be changed."

Maybe there really is such a thing as fate in the world.

The moment Shiranui raised his eyes and saw the crimson hair ends of the other party, such a sentence suddenly flashed in his mind.

According to what Harada said later, she was leaning against the corner of the alley in a daze, wearing summer clothes in the cold night, her brows were tightly wrinkled, her lips were almost pursed into a straight line, even The fingers clasping the two long knives, it is not known whether it is because of too cold or too much force, the joints are also faintly white.

In general, she looked like a standard rebellious girl who had run away from home. If it wasn't for the not-so-significant long purple hair, Harada really wouldn't have recognized her.

"Shiranui?" At a distance of one person, he wanted to reach out to pat her shoulder, but suddenly realized that the two of them didn't seem to be as familiar as he imagined, so he hesitated and withdrew his half-stretched left hand.

Almost when Harada called her, or when he just stopped, the girl subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife with her left hand like a frightened beast, and a small section of silver light was already looming, but with In contrast, she slowly raised her head to meet Harada's gaze.

After the evening wind blew away the girl's somewhat messy bangs, revealing those lazy dark blue eyes as usual, Harada was finally sure that he did not recognize the wrong person because of the darkness.

"...What, it's you." After seeing the person who came, Feng Ye seemed a little surprised, but his originally tightened fingers relaxed slightly, and the ready-to-go blade was pushed back into its sheath by the master inside.

For some reason, Harada felt a little happy about the girl who put down her vigilance so neatly.

"It's late at night, don't be so scary."

Feng's tone was not as confident as usual, but more irritable and complaining, which made Harada feel a little unusual: "You are the one, you know it's late at night, but you ran out and wandered around. "

Hearing this, as if an unpleasant memory had been brought back, Bong curled his mouth and rubbed his hair, he didn't care about the other party's slightly reproachful words, instead he squinted his eyes and spread his hands.

"In that case, Harada-san can just treat me as a rebellious girl who ran away from home."

Although he was grinning, Harada read the four characters "I'm very troubled" from the other person's expression.

He was naturally puzzled: "Run away from home? What happened?" However, as soon as he finished speaking, Harada regretted it a bit. He suddenly realized that he asked too many questions, and he would inevitably be disgusted by the other party.

It's just that he was just worried, Feng couldn't hear anything wrong from Harada's question, but raised his eyebrows: "Forget it, it's not easy to say, probably it's... a quarrel with family members who disagreed with each other— —It’s such a small matter.”

"Your brother?" "Not him."

After replying three words rather briefly, Feng lowered his eyes and leaned against the wall, with the posture of "it's okay, you don't care about me, let me fend for myself".

It's a pity that Shiranui obviously underestimated the opponent's sense of responsibility as the captain of the Shinsengumi [-]th Division.

"Let's go."

"...What?" Before she could react, Harada had already grasped Feng's left hand, and when he felt the abnormally cold temperature, he frowned indistinctly.

"Aren't you planning to stay here any longer? Where do you live? I'll take you back."

"You..." Bong moved his fingers and tried to pull his hand back, but Harada, who noticed her movement, tightened his palm tightly, not giving her a chance to move.

Having to be dragged forward a few steps, Harada turned around and looked at her outfit with disapproval: "You are really not afraid of freezing yourself."

Startled by such words, Fengcai suddenly remembered that he slammed the door in front of the elders at home, and came to Kyoto angrily wearing that summer suit.

No wonder she felt that the other's hand was so warm just now. Was it because her own was too cold?

"You don't have to send me back, I..." She just wanted to say that she could protect herself and let the person in front of her leave her alone—she remembered that the Shinsengumi had access control regulations, even though it was dark now It's late, it's not as late as it seems, but if this person insists on sending her back and rushing back to the garrison, he will definitely not be able to catch up with the gate control time.

However, her words were interrupted again: "Huh? Aren't you a rebellious girl who quarreled with her parents and ran away from home? It's my job to send you home."

The red-haired man spoke righteously, making Bong open his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.

Then, he stretched out his other hand to Feng: "Speaking of which, as long as you don't want to warm you up?"

"No...no need." Hearing this, Feng hastily stretched the hand holding the knife behind his back, rubbing the kimono carefully to get some warmth.

"Just come here?" Unable to resist the other party's persistence, Feng still acquiesced in the end and allowed Harada to send herself to the hotel she used to be in Kyoto, and the two stopped a street away.

"Well, today's matter...thank you." She nodded, and pulled back her left hand that was being held. The skin that had no heat source for a moment couldn't help feeling a little chill when a gust of cold wind blew past.

She took half a step forward and then turned around, frowning and hesitated to say: "By the way, there are some things, I don't know whether I should say..."

"I've heard about Mr. Shannan." She tried her best to pretend not to care, but her clenched fists leaked out, "And that guy Ito."

"you……"

"If you can, please don't continue." Although she used unusually formal words, Feng's tone was so calm that she didn't seem to be asking at all. In addition, she let the bangs on her forehead cover her eyes, which made people Harada couldn't see her expression clearly.

He naturally knew what the other party was referring to in his heart, but he just remained silent.

"Xiaoqian should have warned you that it is not a power that humans can control, and it is by no means a good thing." Feng continued as if there was no one else.

However, even so, she probably understood something from the other party's silent attitude. While talking, she suddenly sighed and shrugged helplessly: "Huh...forget it."

"Then, at least, Mr. Harada..." She breathed out, "Please don't drink that stuff."

Please don't let her be the last to see you like that.

This time, Bong's tone was almost pleadingly vulnerable.

Harada Zuanosuke was stunned, and after understanding what she said, he suddenly stretched out his hand and rubbed Bong's head:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

She didn't like other people making such actions, because it would make her feel that she was in a bad situation.

However, this time it was unexpectedly not annoying.

"... Kokotaro Ito plans to assassinate your chief." After a long silence, Bong suddenly uttered an irrelevant sentence, but the content shocked the listeners. There was no one else but the two of them.

Even so, Bong deliberately lowered his voice, but it was just enough for Harada on the opposite side to hear him clearly.

"Although the exact time is not clear, it is recommended to act early." After speaking, she raised her head, as if she hadn't said anything, looked at the sky naturally, and waved goodbye to the other party with the corners of her mouth raised as usual.

After walking a few steps, Feng turned his head again and saw Harada still standing there, so he raised his voice and said, "Take it as a thank you gift for sending me back today, remember what you promised."

After finishing speaking, he trotted around the corner of the street again holding his two knives.

Harada Sanosuke shrugged, watched the girl disappear from sight, then turned around and walked towards the Shinsengumi settlement.

It seems that the down-and-out girl who ran away from home has regained her spirits, and now she has nothing to worry about.

The author has something to say: It's been a long time since I wrote it, and I went to watch the plot again... If there are small bugs or something, please forgive me if it doesn't affect the reading orz
