Although Tsunamichi's departure left the Shinsengumi without an accompanying physician, the routine inspections that should have been performed have not been missed.

Instead of Tsunamichi Yukimura, the one who went to the Shinsengumi was an acquaintance of Chizuru and an old acquaintance of Tsunamichi, Matsumoto Yoshitsumi.He participated in the follow-up of the Ikedaya incident and helped the Shinsengumi deal with injuries.And now he came to the Shinsengumi early in the morning with a medical kit in hand, with the purpose of conducting a physical examination for the members of the Shinsengumi.

Qinghe naturally did not participate in this inspection, after all, she is a woman, and the people in the Shinsengumi are not as well-aware as Qianzuru.

"Forget what Chiba said." When Chizuru learned that she didn't need to check with other team members, she took the initiative to talk about it with Matsumoto Yoshitsumi, "After all, strictly speaking, Chiba and I are not members of the Shinsengumi... ...don't bother Dr. Matsumoto."

Perhaps because she and Matsumoto Yoshitsumi knew each other, although Matsumoto Yoshitsumi was a little puzzled by Qianzuru's words, he just thought it was Qinghe's weird temper, and he didn't check it as carefully as others.Qinghe didn't make things difficult for him, she also accepted the examination, but she didn't have to strip naked like other members.

The biggest reason for passing the inspection smoothly, perhaps, as Chizuru said, is that Qinghe is not an official member of the Shinsengumi.

"Huh? Has Little Qianbo finished the inspection?"

Walking to the backyard, Qinghe met Zongsi sitting alone under the eaves.

"Yeah." Qinghe raised his head slightly and took a few breaths, smelling the distinct fragrance, "Just now Qianhe came too?"

That was the smell of soap that Chizuru Yukimura was used to.

"Yes." The chief did not hide such a thing, "Probably...caring about my health? After all, I have been coughing a few days ago, so she is worried."

"Is it just a cough?" Qinghe took a few steps closer to him, "You should know that I am not as innocent as Qianhe."

"Hey, what is Xiao Qianbo talking about?"

"Pulmonary tuberculosis." Qinghe closed his eyes slightly, "Although I wasn't sure before...but Dr. Matsumoto told you about your illness."

The smile that always hung on Okita Souji's face disappeared. He looked at Qinghe fixedly, but squinted his eyes and smiled again in the next moment, "Ah, Xiaoqianbo heard it too, so I made a mistake."

Qinghe didn't hear a few words in the dark like Yukimura Chizuru, she understood what Souji Okita had experienced through the science popularization of her companions or subordinates.So she knew that his disease, which was nothing in her eyes, was an incomprehensible terminal illness in this era.

"Are you going to hide this from everyone like fooling Qianzu?" Qinghe used to be a doctor in a world, so she still understands some basic pharmacology, but she has limited materials, and she has no way to go beyond. The special drug of science and technology in this era, "I know it is unrealistic for you to rest, but... please take care of your health."

"Little Qianbo." He had been listening to her quietly, until now he smiled and responded to her in a non-joking tone, "Shall we exchange?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"Except for the fact that Xiaoqianbo is a ghost, you didn't intend to hide it..." The emerald green eyes seemed to see through everything, which was different from the childish expression on his face. The director's eyes told Qinghe that he was very serious about what he was saying. In this matter, "Little Qianbo is the same as Qianhe, is she a girl?"

"you--"

Qinghe knew that one day someone would find out, even if she hid it well, she even guessed that the first person to know her gender would be the chief secretary, but she didn't expect him to come at this time, which is nothing to her. The showdown of the threatening period.

Perhaps, Souji Okita really cared too much about Shinsengumi—no, he cared too much about Isamu Kondo.So much so that he used all the means available to prevent her from hindering his belief.

"After all, I've been with Xiao Qianbo for so long, so I'm too slow to know?"

"Then, let's exchange each other's secrets." With a smug look, the chief raised his index finger on his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and was as innocent as a child playing, "Little Qianbo, don't tell others about my illness. , and I won't say that Xiao Qianbo is a pure-blood female ghost... how about it?"

Qinghe sighed softly, and when she raised her eyes again, she saw that the other party was sure that she would agree.

"Okay." Qinghe did agree, but it wasn't his threat and secret exchange, but she knew that there were some things that no matter how much she guarded against, she couldn't match the determination of the person involved.

"I will keep silent until others find out about it."

"That's enough."

Qinghe really never mentioned this matter to anyone else.

Even Qianhe, who thought there was something wrong, came back to her, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't reveal anything.

Time passed in a calm that concealed turbulence.

Unlike Qinghe, although Chizuru knew that her father might go to Satsuma in the future, she still went out on patrol with the Shinsengumi every day.

"I met a very nice girl today." In the evening, Qianhe approached Qinghe excitedly and told her what happened today, "She said her name was 'Qianji', she was a very good-looking woman, and her manner Jian always gives me an aura similar to Qianba."

"Qianji?" Qinghe had an obvious reaction when he heard the name, "You are talking about the descendant of Suzuka Gozen, the pure blood princess of the ghost clan, right?"

Qinghe looked at Qianhe with a strange look, "Maybe Qianhe has the physique to attract the ghost clan, otherwise how can I meet the same clan when I go out?"

"Qianbo don't make fun of me..."

After being silent for a while, Qinghe heard Qianzuru's confused voice again, "Actually... just before I came back, I saw my brother again at the notice board."

The reason for this is that not long after the Ikedaya incident, when Chizuru was patrolling with Fujido, she met Kaoru Nagumo who looked exactly like her.

Qianhe was not too surprised by Qinghe's introduction, but when she saw him, she was very happy and asked him if he was her brother who hadn't seen him.

When the other party heard her question, she showed a surprised expression and softened her eyes, but when Chizuru looked at him with the eyes of "I didn't expect my brother is really a womanizer like Chiba said", Kaoru Nagumo looked at him again. Returning to a half-smile, he said in a gentle and slightly mocking tone that he didn't know her, and he didn't have a younger sister.

Of course, Nan Yunxun must not have read about Qinghe from Qianhe's eyes, otherwise, I'm afraid it would not be as simple as leaving with a few words of ridicule.

"Huh? You saw Xun." Qinghe was not surprised, "Don't worry too much, it's not surprising that Xun and Shinsengumi met."

"Qianhe, you have to know that ghosts are egotistical people... He suffered so much at Nan Yun's house, and it is reasonable to come out to take revenge now."

"...I'm just a little disappointed that my brother doesn't seem to like me?" Qianzuru said with some depression, "Obviously, we are the last relatives."

"Give him some time," said Nan Yunxun with a comprehensive expression after hearing how Nan Yunxun praised his sister's innocence, "he just expressed it in a more tactful way."

Qinghe is sure that Kaoru Nagumo chose to fight against the Shinsengumi. Apart from Nagumo's family standing in line, the bigger reason is that he knew that Chizuru was in the Shinsengumi and wanted to add obstacles to her to show his sense of existence.

——Heh, just like a little boy who doesn't understand the world, using this unpleasant way to attract the attention of important people.

After Qinghe had persuaded Qianhe to rejuvenate her, and was about to leave and go back to her room, they heard strange noises outside.

"...What's wrong?" Qianhe felt that the voice was familiar, subconsciously grabbed Qinghe's sleeve, and asked a little uneasily.

"It's the Rakshasa." Qinghe smelled the blood, activated the ability of point and line after a long time, and it only took a moment for Qinghe to understand what happened outside, "It is the Rakshasa team managed by Mr. Shannan who lost control."

"What?!" Qianhe was startled, and then subconsciously grasped the dagger at his waist, "What should we do?"

"You stay in the room." Qinghe held her wanting to get up, took the pressure-cut Hasebe belt by herself, and put the Yakuken in her arms into Qianzuru's hand, "Yakuken, temporarily help I protect her."

Qianhe didn't know who she was talking to, but she subconsciously clenched the dagger.

"Qianhe, when you encounter danger, use your instincts." Qinghe would not tell Qianzu how precious the dagger in her hand is, but she still reminded her not to let go, "Use this dagger to protect yourself... remember , the blood of the ghost clan is a fatal attraction to Rakshasa, don't get hurt at this time."

The water made from the blood of the ghost clan, as long as the person who drinks it, no one can resist the temptation of the blood of the "mother" ghost clan.

"--Yes."

Although he was a little unwilling to stay still, Qianhe was not stupid enough to rush outside like that.Qianhe, who took over Qinghe Short Sword, heard her instructions clearly, pursed her lips and nodded and decided to listen to her.

"Good boy." Qing He patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, and left the room.

Once outside the door, Qinghe saw more clearly the hell-like scene in the eyes of ordinary people.

Rakshasa without self-awareness came out of the darkness in groups. In the twilight of the moonlight, Qinghe saw that many team members had spontaneously joined the team to resist Rakshasa.

"Yeah, is little Qianbo also alarmed?"

As soon as he walked to the yard, Qinghe saw the headmaster knocking back the out-of-control Rakshasa with one blow.

"How could such a big reaction not be known?"

Qinghe pulled out the pressure and cut Hasebe, the sharp knife can easily cut off the opponent.

Driven by Fu Sangshen's will, Qinghe does not need to be too strong in swordsmanship to be able to use the most suitable swordsmanship.This is also the reason why the chief executive paid more attention to her in the first place.

"I always feel that Xiao Qianbo's moves are familiar, but I just didn't expect what it is..." While repelling Luo Sha, the chief executive was able to chat with her at the same time, "It reminds me that we haven't discussed for a long time. .”

Qinghe's swordsmanship is improving, even though it is usually more instinctive to use the sword to guide, but her learning ability is first-rate, although she cannot be called a master, she is still better than ordinary samurai.

"Don't say I bullied you."

According to the agreement, she didn't tell the director's illness.The meaning of these words now is alluding to his illness, which is not suitable for such a thing.

"How could it be~" But the chief executive acted as if he didn't understand what she meant.

"...if you so wish."

In the end, it was still a compromise.

"My God! What's going on!?"

Qinghe frowned because of this scream, and even the chief executive restrained his overly relaxed expression.

It was Ito, who had not met for a long time, who discovered Shannan who was supposed to die in order to prevent the Rakshasa from raging.

"It's too bad." Seeing this, Qinghe had already expected the ending, "I hope what you said was right, Mr. Kondo should stay behind."

"Who knows~?" The chief executive looked away from Ito, and smiled with a nonchalant attitude, allowing the confrontation between Shannan who knew he was exposed and Ito who knew he was cheated.

However, Qinghe also noticed that his hand did not move away from the handle of the knife.

That was the hidden bloodlust under his laissez-faire attitude.

The author has something to say:

[Small Theater [-]]

Director: Terminally ill?Then let the waves rise!

Qinghe: Don't give up treatment.

[Small Theater [-]]

Kiyawa: I always thought he had a certain affection for me, until he threatened me for Mr. Kondo.

Director: ...Wait, I don't think that's a threat but some innocuous little secret?

Chizuru: I always feel that everyone in the Shinsengumi respects Kondo-san...

Chikage: Heh (laughs).

Qinghe: Then they will all live with Mr. Kondo for the rest of their lives.

Isamu Kondo: I don't know anything!I am innocent!By the way, I'm straight!
