[Comprehensive] The gap in history

The words are undeniable: "I am not a master, and if the knife is good, you will know if you try it, isn't it?"

The owner of the knife shop took Okita and Kondo to the backyard specially used for knife testing. There was a wooden stake as thick as two thighs of an ordinary man. There were knife marks of different depths on the wooden stake. It seemed that many people were here Tried the knife.

Okita inserted the California Unmarked Sword into his waist, bent his left leg slightly, and made a gesture of drawing the sword sideways.

The owner of the knife house seemed to have seen Okita take a step forward, and then the knife flashed, and the wooden stake was broken in two from the middle.As for Okita's movements of drawing the sword, slashing, and retracting the sword, he didn't see anything clearly.

"Oh oh oh, this is really... amazing!"

"You boy, the speed of swinging the knife has become faster again!" Kondo estimated in his heart that if it was him, he could hold up a few moves under Okita's hands, then sighed and shook his head - as a senior brother, he has beaten no junior brother before. What a shame.

Okita looked at the knife at his waist with satisfaction: "Let's just leave it at that, Mr. Kondo."

"Based on your swordsmanship, no matter what kind of sword it is, can it have such power?" Kondo is still puzzled by Okita's choice. He always believes that only those famous swords are worthy of Okita.

Okita saw what Kondo was thinking, and showed a confident smile on his face: "I don't want people to say 'this is the owner of such and such a famous sword' when they talk about me a few years later, it's like I All achievements are brought by that sword. Mr. Kondo, I will prove that even a sword without a name, as long as I hold it in the hands of Okita Souji, it will definitely become a great famous sword .”

Isamu Kondo touched his head and compromised.

He just likes Okita, even if he is trampled under his feet, he always believes that he will surpass him one day.

In the end, Okita's swordsmanship conquered the sword house's owner, and he didn't charge them a penny.

Okita walked on the bridge and pulled out his new sword against the sun.

"It's really beautiful, as dazzling as the light of Qinghui, I'll call you California Qingguang."

"After the new year, we will go to Kyoto. Let us work hard together, and then... let's create a big career for Mr. Kondo!"

A boy, a knife.

Although they were all born in poor families and are now unknown, but on the turbulent stage in Kyoto, they will let everyone remember their names.

The first swordsman in the Shinsengumi, Souji Okita, and his saber—California Kiyomitsu.

Year and month, Kyoto.

At this time, the Mibu Roshigumi has become an official organization under the Aizu Domain, and even the name has been changed to "Shinsengumi". The light green uniform has become a sight that appears in Kyoto every day.

Okita's knife slashed at a ronin, and then pulled it up forcefully, leaving a knife mark on that ronin's body that spread from his abdomen to his chest. Blood splashed on Okita's face, staining Okita's vision red.

After everyone fell down, Okita flicked the remaining blood on the knife casually, and Kakashi Kiyomitsu resumed his icy stance.

Until Okita closed his sword, the people around him, including the soldiers around him, remained silent.

Okita looked around, seeing everyone backing away in panic, with a smile to cover up the murderous intent in his eyes: "If there are ronin trying to make trouble in Kyoto in the future, just come anyway. Anyway... no matter how many, it's all the same ?”

Okita's smile is very cute, it seems to be childish, but against the backdrop of more than a dozen corpses on the ground, it looks as terrifying as an evil spirit.

No one knew what kind of emotion was hidden under Okita's smile. He just smiled all the way and walked back to the village slowly wearing blood-stained clothes. open.

After hearing the news, Hijikata Toshisan rushed over and pulled Okita to a place where no one was around, and grabbed his collar: "Who allowed you to take the soldiers out to kill people casually?"

"It's Mr. Serizawa. He said that some ronin are trying to harm Mr. Kondo. If I want, I can hand them over to me, so I went." Okita replied honestly.

Hijikata gritted his teeth, thinking of the man who always bosses them around with an iron fan——Serizawa Kamo, one day he will be killed!

"Boss, listen to me. From now on, without orders from me and Mr. Kondo, you are not allowed to go out and kill people!" He watched Okita grow up, and he didn't want that child who always followed Mr. Kondo to walk on the road of Shura. road.

The smile on Okita's face gradually subsided, perhaps Okita was the first group of people in the Shinsengumi to realize what the future is like: "I think what Mr. Serizawa said is very reasonable. Mr. Kondo is too old and kind. If you want to prove the value of Shinsengumi's existence, you can't be soft-hearted."

What Mr. Kondo can't bear to do is done by him.He will bear all the notoriety, and he will use the bones of his enemies to push Mr. Kondo to the throne of his dreams.

Hijikata looked at Okita's impeccable eyes, and sighed: "I understand what you mean, trust me a little bit, you are not the only one who is looking forward to Mr. Kondo. I will arrange everything, and in the future Don't act on your own."

"Okay." Okita agreed easily, but it's unknown what he will do when the time comes.

Hijikata felt that he had to strictly enforce the rules of the Shinsengumi, but the most urgent thing was to educate Okita well: "When you kill someone in the future, try not to let the blood splatter all over your body, do you hear me? Also, after killing someone, Hurry up and clean your body, what does the blood on your face look like!"

Okita shrugged: "I was going to wash, you were the one who pulled me."

"Hey!" Hijikata felt that talking to Okita would ruin his life, "Forget it, go change your clothes, and then accompany me to the sword house. The Izumi Mori Kanesada I ordered before has arrived, and I will help you get a sword by the way. You only have A knife, not even a replacement weapon if something goes wrong."

Hijikata didn’t find the sword he wanted when he was in Edo. Firstly, Izumi Mori Kanesada’s genuine product was not what he wanted, and secondly, there was also a reason for money. So until now, the swords on Hijikata’s body have been mass-produced everywhere. goods.

Okita took off his clothes and went to the well, poured a bucket of water on his body, but no matter how he washed it, he still had a lingering smell of blood on his body.

After cleaning up, Okita casually put on a white kimono and walked out.Even Okita himself is very strange, obviously white is the color that is most likely to get dirty, why does he prefer clothes of this color?

Do you want to use this clean color to cover up your own filth?

Hijikata walked side by side with Okita who was holding his hands in his sleeves. He looked at Okita, frowning constantly.

Seemingly sensing the unpleasant aura on Hijikata, Okita asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Hijikata didn't answer, but turned around and walked into the store, bought a pack of Kopeito and threw it into Okita's arms: "Eat!"

Okita didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not a child!"

But under the stern gaze of Hijikata, he obediently picked up a sugar grain and stuffed it into his mouth, then narrowed his eyes happily: "Well, it's so sweet."

The tense muscles on Okita's body gradually relaxed, and the bloody smell on his body gradually faded, replaced by some sweet and greasy smell.

"When you're not happy in the future, go buy some candy." Hijikata glanced at Okita, and the expression on his face finally relaxed.

"I told you I'm not a child!" Although he complained, Okita still raised his head and looked at the name of the candy store——[Lujuan Shimizu]

After walking through the wide main road in Kyoto, Hijikata and Okita came to the winding path, and the sound of blacksmithing could be heard intermittently in their ears.

"Here we are." Tufang took the lead in opening the curtain of the knife room and walked in, followed by Okita.

The owner of the knife house is obviously familiar with the earthwork. After seeing the earthwork, he enthusiastically took out a long wooden box from it and put it in front of the earthwork.

Tufang opened the wooden box, and inside was a very elegant knife.

Izumi Mori Kanesada's scabbard is brown, with patterns of peonies and phoenixes engraved on it. The hilt has eighteen and a half rhombuses, small and delicate, and even a round of plum blossoms is engraved on the collar.

Looking at this knife, even Okita showed an expression of admiration, not to mention Hijikata who had been in love with Kanesada for 10 minutes.

Hijikata pulled out the knife, came to the empty space and waved it twice, the sound of the blade rubbing against the air was heard in the air, it seemed that Izumi Mori Kanesada was so sharp that it could cut even the air.

The earth party couldn't be more satisfied, and he paid the money very readily with a wave of his big hand.

"Boss, tell me what kind of knife you want. The owner of this knife shop has a lot of connections, as long as it's not too rare, you can usually get it." Tukata, who got his favorite knife, was a little complacent for a while.

"Then this one!" Okita casually pointed to Yamato Shou Anding on the knife holder, and said.

Tufang's face darkened: "Director, don't make fun of me."

"I'm not kidding, it's a good knife for sure, isn't it?"

Okita picked up the knife and lightly flicked on the knife, the knife made a pleasant "clank" sound.

"Two guests, this Yamato Shou'an is a bit special. As far as the quality of the knife itself is concerned, this knife is undoubtedly superior. But because the knifemaker is too pursuit of quality when forging the knife, this knife is practical. There are big flaws, that is to say, it is a knife that is not easy to use." The owner of the knife shop explained on the side.

"Am I right? I don't know why, but I always feel that this Yamato Shou'an will get along well with California Kiyomitsu!" Okita smiled and looked at the knife in his hand. Okita's face was printed on the long and narrow knife.

"I really can't do anything about you." Hijikata showed the same helpless expression as Kondo back then, "You always like this kind of difficult-to-use knives."

"Only those who are not good at swordsmanship will put the blame on the sword."

And just like that, young Okita got his second knife

At the time when the Shinsengumi was just established, no one would have thought that these two knives, which were not famous at all, would be famous in history because of a person named Okita Souji, and they would be compared with countless famous knives in history.

listen!

In the stillness of the night, the two knives neatly placed beside Okita's pillow seemed to be whispering.

The author has something to say: This is the end of the story!

The last chapter of Fanwai is the end of the story, and this chapter is the beginning of everything, so it has a beginning and an end!

Originally, I wanted to write an extra chapter of "Gintama" that you have always wanted, but it turns out that the manga still can't be finished, I only read the chapters, and I can't remember all the characters.This kind of thing written by relying on Baidu Encyclopedia can only be extremely thin, so forget it.
