[Comprehensive] The gap in history

Himura Kenshin: "That's right, next is the director of the Shinsengumi - Yuya Kondo! Come on together, my Toruru is thirsting for blood!"

Little boy X: "I, Takayama Shinsaku, will definitely defeat you!"

Little boy X: "And I, Katsura Kogoro, too!"

Souji Okita: "If you want to defeat the director, you must first pass me, Toshizo Hijikata!"

Then, the branches intertwined and began to wave rustlingly.

The mother-in-law who was cleaning the hotel covered her mouth and laughed: "Isn't this great? It's really peaceful!"

In the end, this "war" ended with the victory of "Takasugi Shinsaku" and "Katsura Kogoro".

If Hijikata Toshizo could really see this scene, he would definitely pick up Okita's collar and shake him vigorously, and then he would turn into Roaring Emperor: "Shoji Okita, wake me up! One of you is Shinsengumi Swordsmanship No. .1, one is the most feared swordsman of the Reformation, and ended up playing house with children here, and lost, what about your dignity!"

It's a pity that the two swordsmen present whose names were enough to make children cry at night didn't notice anything wrong, but they were very satisfied playing.

If there is one dissatisfaction, it is...

"Why does Shinsengumi lose every time?" Okita asked.

"Because the new era of restoration is bound to come, at least I think so." After seeing off the children who came to play, Kenshin and Okita sat together in front of the door, chatting while looking at the blue sky.

"It's really hard to refute." Okita leaned back and said helplessly.

"Oh? I thought you wouldn't agree with Soujiro, after all, every time Soujiro speaks for the members of the Shinsengumi." Kenshin's face showed a bit of surprise.

"That can't be helped. Although I know that the trend of historical development is that the Restoration Army will win, but if I do it all over again, I'm afraid I will still be on the side of the Shinsengumi."

Some things will change with the passage of time, but some things will never change no matter how long it takes, just like the "Sincerity Flag" that has been engraved into the soul of Okita.

Because Fei Cun Kenshin was seriously injured, and there happened to be Okita, a suspected spy, who needed to be monitored, so Katsura Kogoro simply handed over this task to Kenshin who was recuperating.

But what Katsura Kogoro didn't expect was that the two top swordsmen, Kenshin and Okita, came together unexpectedly. They have many things in common, such as the purity of the sword, the persistence of faith, and the gentleness. But childish character, like children and so on.

Okita did not reject this kind of surveillance, and he never concealed his feelings for the Shinsengumi.

"I still can't understand this idea of ​​hindering the development of history. Obviously, as long as we follow the history, the new era can come faster, and the killings can be much less. Children don't have to worry about whether they will lose their parents one day. Why the new The people who selected the team didn’t understand this? If there hadn’t been the Ikedaya incident, maybe there would be no war now.” Kenshin’s fists slowly clenched, thinking of the year when he was just [-] years old.

In that year, he became a slasher and drew swords; in that year, the Ikedaya incident that destroyed all their efforts occurred; in that same year, he met Xuedaiba.

Okita probably understood why the Shinsengumi couldn't reverse the situation no matter how hard they tried, they could only fall apart in failure and finally die.

Because the reformers think of this country, but the Shinsengumi always think of themselves.

Of course, this "self" does not refer to material benefits, but the Bushido spirit they regard as their belief.

Because the Shinsengumi was loyal to the shogunate when it was established, so no matter whether the shogunate is wise or corrupt, the Shinsengumi will continue to be loyal as always.

It is because of this spirit that they are called "the last samurai".

"Just as you can bear thousands of lives in order to create a peaceful 'new world' and incarnate as 'Badao Zhai', everyone in the Shinsengumi can also become 'evil ghosts' in order to maintain the Bushido in their hearts. This kind of You won't understand the spirit, just like many people can't understand the purpose of your bloody hands, which is to create a world without killing."

Everyone has their own persistence. From their own standpoints, everyone's persistence is actually right. This may be the charm of history.

Kenshin did not continue to argue with Okita, although it was only a few years, but Kenshin was really tired.He is a person who can sympathize with robbers who are full of evil. Letting such a kind person do the work of Shura, he is really tired: "When everything is over, I will not kill people anymore .Although the sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is a trick to kill, I still hope that I can use the sword in my hand to do something other than kill."

Okita laughed, and suddenly remembered a sentence that Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki often talked about: "The future is the era of guns and cannons, and things like swords will be eliminated sooner or later."

"Perhaps, but even so, there must be a place where a sword can be used." Kenshin also smiled. With a longing for the future, he seemed to see himself holding a sword and becoming someone's protector.

At this time, Okita did not expect that Kenshin really did the joke that seemed to be "no more killing people". He used a "reverse blade knife" to protect the people around him, but he did not stop killing people. Killed a life.

Jian Xin spent all his remaining time atoning for the sins of those he killed in the past few years.

"Let's go, let's go shopping in the city of Kyoto? It just so happens that I have something I want to buy." Okita stood up, moving his arms against the sun, and his hair was dyed golden by the sun.

"Oh? If I'm next, you shouldn't just appear in..." It's a pity that before Jianxin could finish speaking, he was dragged out by Okita.

At this time, the city of Kyoto looks peaceful on the surface, but there is a raging undercurrent in the dark, and small-scale temptations and assassinations never stop.For a dangerous person like Kenshin who is active in the dark, the high-level leaders of various forces already know him well, but for ordinary people in the capital city, it is as far away as a legend.

After Kenshin was forcibly dragged to the street by Okita, he became vigilant.Although Kenshin and Okita get along very well, this cannot conceal the fact that Okita may be a spy sent by the Shinsengumi.When Okita comes out this time, who is he going to meet with?

Okita's footsteps stopped, Kenshin looked up following Okita's gaze, and then saw a small shop with exquisite decoration, with a few flamboyant characters written on the plaque on it - Lvshouan Shimizu?What kind of store is this?

Okita didn't notice Kenshin's question, but walked in with a happy face.

The interior decoration of Lvshouan Qingshui is not luxurious, but there is some elegance everywhere. There are several cabinets neatly placed on both sides of the room, and there is a sweet and greasy smell in the air.

"Ah! What a coincidence! It turned out to be the last pack of Jinpei candies!" Okita noticed the only pack of candies left in the cabinet with sharp eyes, trotted over as if afraid of being snatched away, and then stretched out his hand towards the candies.

However, at this time, another thin and pale hand touched the bag of Kompeito at the same time as Okita.

The two raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and then found their own faces in each other's eyes.

"Poyi?" A pink pig in the visitor's hand sniffed at Okita, showing a puzzled expression.

"Sorry, cough, cough, can you give me this bag of sugar?" The young man in a white bathrobe, clogs, and long purple hair showed a big smile at Okita.

Is this person...

"No, it's fine if it's something else, but the last pack of Konpei candy from Qingshui in Lvjuan..." Even if it's my past self, I will never give in!

"That's right, there's no other way..." The purple-haired youth's eyes became serious, and his strength in holding the Jinping sugar bag began to increase.

"Indeed, then, each depends on his ability!" Okita also began to exert force continuously.

So the small packet of Jinpingtang went to the left for a while, then to the right for a while, and then to the left again...

The boss of Qingshui in Lvshouan felt the rising murderous spirit of the two, and kept wiping the dripping sweat with a handkerchief, roaring in his heart: This is just a bag of sugar!sugar!What are you two guests doing! !

In the end, with a sound of "tearing", the packaging bag of Jinping Tang was unbearable to be pulled by the two, and it split from the middle. The two who had no time to restrain their strength staggered back a few steps, and the Jinping Tang grains were scattered in the wooden cabinet.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The purple-haired young man who was breathing unsteadily bent down and coughed in pain.

"Boss, are you alright?" Saito, who followed secretly because he was worried, hurried over and helped the purple-haired youth who was coughing constantly.

"poyi?" The pink piglet jumped out of the arms of the purple-haired youth, not wanting to burden him, then walked around the store twice, and then jumped into Okita's arms.

"Boss, can you pour me a glass of water? Remember to keep it as warm as possible." Okita knew very well the feeling that his entire lungs were burning—it was an extremely painful and powerless feeling.

As soon as Saito heard the words, he raised his head and began to look at Okita, and at the same time, Okita was also observing Saito.

The man in front of him wears a black ponytail, his long bangs hang down like four whiskers in front of his eyes, he has a tall nose and a serious expression. Although it is still a little different from the one in his memory, it is still the same as in "Hakuoki". Compared with the characters in the movie, it can already be regarded as a restoration of God.

"You are the devil's deputy chief of the Shinsengumi, aren't you?" Okita said in a familiar tone.

"Pfft! Hahaha, cough..." The purple-haired young man who was coughing against Saito's arms burst out laughing, but soon continued to cough.

Saito felt that there seemed to be a few crossroads beating in his head, what was this feeling of powerlessness as if facing two Okita Souji at the same time?

Saito rubbed his brows, ready to question this suspicious guy who is very similar to the chief executive, but Saito seemed to sense something suddenly, he blocked the chief executive in his arms behind him, and shifted his gaze somewhere: "Come out!"

Kenshin showed an expression of pulling out swords, and walked out from behind the door.

After coming to the gate of Shimizu at Ryojuan with Okita before, Kenshin keenly discovered that Saito Kazu of the Shinsengumi seemed to be stalking someone sneakily, so he hid in the dark.

Kenshin and the Shinsengumi have played the most times against Saito Kazu. The two ended in a draw many times in one-on-one situations. It can be said that they are old enemies.

Although there are some guesses about the identity of Okita as a spy sent by the Shinsengumi, when Okita and Saito really had a pleasant chat there, Kenshin still inevitably felt a feeling of being betrayed. The murderous intent was also noticed by Saitoichi.

"Sure enough, it's you, wandering around the village and drawing the knife!" Saito put his hand on the knife at his waist, but he didn't attack—because in his opinion, the seriously ill chief executive has no combat effectiveness, and the current situation is One-on-two is tricky, so be careful.

Kenshin was also in a stalemate with Saito, instead of taking the initiative to attack, he looked at Okita: "Soujiro, you are indeed a member of the Shinsengumi! What is your purpose?"

Sojiro? !

Saito and Souji looked at Okita at the same time.

This is really bad!

Okita, who had become the focus for a moment, couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

He really just wanted to come out to buy Jinping Tang!What is this feeling of eating jujube pills?

The author has something to say: the general director in this chapter uses the image of "Shinsengumi Odd Records", and Saito Yi is the image in "Rurouni Kenshin", because the general director in "Rurouni Kenshin" He only played for a few seconds, and his age was wrong, so he actually called Saito "Brother Saito", so I changed it~
