[Comprehensive] The gap in history

"Well, warm water is ready."

At this embarrassing moment, the boss of Lvshouan Qingshui came out from behind the house holding a cup.

Okita breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the attention of the three people around him being distracted, and quickly changed the subject: "How about we talk in another place? After all, it's very inconvenient here."

Saito glanced at Okita and Kenshin, expressing his acquiescence.Even if you really want to do something, you must never reveal your identity as a newly selected team leader-the law in the game is not a joke.

"Then it's settled!" Okita smiled and looked at the boss, even now he has not forgotten the purpose of coming out, "Can you help us divide the candy into two parts and repack it? Even if the bag is broken, Don't let it go to waste!"

"Okay, okay." The boss wiped off his sweat, and quickly followed Okita's instructions. He wished that these plague gods would leave quickly.

Okita nodded his thanks, put his hand into his sleeve, and then showed a very embarrassed smile.

These days, he has been eating and drinking for nothing in the hotel, until now he realized the fact that he did not bring any money with him when he came to the end of the Bakumatsu.

"Well, Mr. Feicun, can you pay the bill for me?" Okita said to Kenshin embarrassedly. If he doesn't want to renege on the bill at this time, he can only ask someone to help him with the cheek.

The chief executive, who was wearing a white bathrobe, seemed to realize that he had to pay the bill. He clasped his hands together and showed a cute smile to Saito: "Oh, I don't seem to have any money with me. Fortunately, you it's here!"

Sure enough, these two people look like each other!

This thought came to Saito's mind again, and then he took out the coins and put them on the table.

"I don't seem to have brought any money..." Kenshin looked at Okita's expectant eyes for a long time, and finally said this sentence.

Afterwards, Okita and Kenshin looked at Saito together.

"What are you watching me do! Do you still expect the enemy to pay you?" Saito seems to understand why Hijikata Toshizo has a stinky face all day long, and it's simply impossible to get along with these people who don't understand the situation. It's life-saving.

In the end, amidst the boss's eager farewell, the two chief executives of Okita ate half a pack of Kopei candies with gusto. Of course, it was Saito Kazu who paid the bill.

"Okay, now can I explain it properly? Why did Himura Badaosai, who is a slayer ghost, suddenly appear in the city of Kyoto openly, and..." Saito looked at Okita, as if he wanted to shake his whole body Seeing through, "What's the matter with the name Sojiro?"

The clear Kamogawa divides Kyoto into two parts, the north and the south. The fiery red maple leaves on the shore lay a red carpet on the Kamogawa river beach, which is the romance of Kyoto.It was the month of the third year of Qingli, and there were still more than two months before Sakamoto Ryoma's death.

"You mean you were born in Edo, and after hearing about the incident of the Souji, you became his admirer, and you even changed your name to California Soujiro by the way?" Saito looked sideways at Okita, with a face of "you continue "Edit" is an expression.

The headmaster's body couldn't stand for a long time, so Okita and the headmaster sat under the maple tree, and began to talk nonsense in a serious manner, while the headmaster listened with gusto like listening to a story.

It's not that Okita is unwilling to tell the truth of the matter, but that he can't.

If you tell everyone that you are the future Okita Souji, then the purpose of coming here will inevitably be involved-Sakamoto Ryoma will be assassinated.What should we do if the reformers deploy ahead of schedule and prevent Ryoma Sakamoto from being assassinated?

"Even if what you said is true, you should join the Shinsengumi. What's the point of mixing with the reformers?" Saito sharply pointed out the loopholes in Okita's words.

"Be a spy! To join the Shinsengumi, you have to vote for something, right?"

After hearing Okita's explanation, everyone had a choked expression on their faces. Is it really okay to speak out about such a secret thing like an undercover agent?

Saito finally gave up the verbal temptation, drew out the sword at his waist and pointed at Okita: "Then let's have a ronin and ronin sparring. People can tell lies, but swords can't."

Saito had a very absurd guess in his mind, which was so absurd that he couldn't even believe it.But if not, why are there two people who are so similar in this world?

Okita put the pink piglet in his arms on the ground, stood up, drew out his knife, and made a move like Beichen's one-sword style.

I'm sorry, Hajime, sometimes, the knife may not be able to tell lies.

He has already been tested by Katsura Kogoro once, so he will not make a second mistake.

Even if he became a god judge, Okita never let go of his practice of swordsmanship.Fortunately, the swords of different eras have mastered the swordsmanship of different eras. In the process of working with swords and swords, Okita has continuously improved and perfected himself, especially Beichen Yidao Liu, who is in the same era as Tianran Lixin Liu, has already Integrate.

The swords of the two collided together, making a golden sound.Okita didn't use the most proficient natural mental flow, and Saito didn't use the iconic tooth protrusion, just kept testing like this.

The chief executive who was sitting on the side stopped eating candy and began to concentrate.

He knew that Saito's temptation was for him to see.If the man who claimed to be California Soujiro really had some kind of relationship with him, the only one who could confirm it was himself.

No matter how you hide it, the only person who knows you best is yourself.

While the red leaves were flying, the two put away their knives at the same time.Saito took a deep look at Okita, then turned and left: "Go back, Chief."

The general manager picked up Xiaozhu, smiled and waved to Okita and Kenshin: "Goodbye, Mr. California, and Mr. Badao Zhai, I really want to have a good fight with you, but it's a pity..."

The general manager's last words carried a touch of melancholy, and finally drifted into the air like green smoke.

"Let's go too, Himura-kun. At this time, mother-in-law should be ready for lunch, I'm really looking forward to it!" Okita continued talking and laughing with Kenshin as if nothing had happened.

"Who are you?" Kenshin looked at Okita sharply. The guy from the Shinsengumi saw something from the sparring just now, but he didn't understand anything.

"A person who defends history, that's all." Okita looked at Kenshin calmly and smiled faintly.

This time, the other side.

The chief executive hugged the little pig, humming a song, and walked happily along the river. Red maple leaves fell one after another, and a few leaves stuck to the chief executive's hair and shoulders, which further accentuated his sickness and paleness. complexion.

Saito followed behind the chief executive, looking at the chief executive who was rarely so happy these days, his heavy heart became lighter: "Didn't you just regret that you couldn't fight against Ba Dao Zhai? What, Are you in a good mood now?"

"Because of Soujiro!" The chief executive turned his head, his long purple hair drew a beautiful arc in the air, and he smiled brilliantly.

"What did you see?" Saito's face became serious.

"There is no doubt that it is 'me'!" Okita said firmly, "Although I am not as proficient as him, I can use Beichen's sword style!"

As he said that, the chief executive looked up at the clear sky unique to autumn, and a few floating clouds slowly drifted past, seeming to carry the hope of the future: "That's great! The future 'I' is so healthy, does it mean that I will also be healthy in the future?" Can you continue to kill? As long as you can continue to kill, you will definitely be needed!"

"What are you talking about!" Seeing the simple smile of the chief executive, Saito suddenly felt depressed, "As long as you are still alive, that's enough."

The chief didn't answer.

If it's not enough, if he can't continue to kill, he will no longer be needed by everyone, and he will definitely be abandoned, right?

After all, Mr. Hijikata and Mr. Kondo would praise him and show such gratified expressions only after he finished killing people.

The only reason for his existence is to kill people.

But in the future, he must be needed, right?

Because in the future, he no longer has the deep uneasiness and fear hidden under the smile. In the future, he has grown into a person with a strong heart, self-confidence, who can be trusted and relied on by everyone.

In this case, can he have something to look forward to?Expect yourself to be that kind of person too.

In this way, facing a hopeless future, he also had a little courage to go on.

The situation in Kyoto, like Okita's current situation, is maintained at a delicate balance point.The forces of the Shogunate and the Restoration are tempting and compromising with each other, and peace is like a small boat in the ocean, which is in danger of capsizing at any time.

And the fulcrum of this peace is Ryoma Sakamoto.

Okita stayed on the second floor of the hotel, watching Sakamoto Ryoma's carriage passing by the street. Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki followed Sakamoto Ryoma as an attendant, and accompanied him through the last years of his life.

What is going on in Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki's heart?Knowing that the master I admired the most is about to die, but can only watch helplessly, it must be very painful!It's like Okita knew of Mr. Kondo's death but couldn't stop it.

However, if you have been obsessed with the past, you will never be able to see the future.Okita believes that Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki will be able to let go of his obsessions in the past, because he is an extremely free and easy guy who can say "this is the era of guns and cannons" as a sword.

"What are you looking at?" Jian Xin came over and asked strangely.

After the meeting with the Shinsengumi that day, Kenshin still carried out the task of monitoring Okita. Although Okita himself admitted that he was a "spies", a spy in the open is much easier to deal with than a spy in the dark, isn't it?

"I am watching 'New World'!" Okita propped up his right leg and sat by the window.

At this time, the weather has begun to turn cold, and the maple leaves that were originally burning like fire fell to the ground and withered, leaving only lonely branches bleak in the cold wind.The clouds in the sky still retain the afterglow of the setting sun, but it gradually becomes gray.

The night is coming, but after the long night, there will be dawn.

"So, Himura-kun, come on! After the pain of war, there will be a dawn of peace." Okita, who leaned against the setting sun, had a golden halo on his face, and there was something in his words that only he could understand. deep meaning.

The sun went down, and time stood still on the night of the year, month, day.

The author has something to say: Every time I write about the past chief minister, I have the illusion that the current chief minister is fake... It seems that only the chief minister who is doomed to tragedy is the one in my heart. Of course, this is also the truth .

If there is a tragedy in the end of my article, you will definitely beat me to death, right?I really want to do something... No, I have to hold back!
