Kitty, don't run away! !

The haze is heavy, covering the entire sky, giving people a feeling of "being overcast and cloudy".

I sat on the wooden plank in front of the room, leaning lazily on the pillar next to me, looking up at the dark and changeable sky.

"The war of this era should be about to start..." The low voice said like a dream, and sighed softly, as if he was a young man who was worried about the country, the people, and his talents, "ah... I am not helping others That piece of material~ It’s just a useless piece of wood that can’t do anything well...” Shaking his head vigorously, he cleared away all the messy thoughts in his mind.

Since the last time I kissed Mr. Okita, the distance between us has been (?) shortened, right? !Ahh~ I was dismissed by Kondo-san with the helpless reason of "there is no room for you, and you are also a man, so let's live with your leader and captain", well, his shiny The smile also won me over.Of course, we lived together with Mr. Okita smoothly (?), but it is not difficult to find that his body is getting weaker and weaker. I think this is definitely related to the vomiting of blood!

"Huhu——" The sound of steady breathing overflowed from my mouth, and I frowned slightly, as if I had encountered something annoying, but this time I accidentally didn't drool.

It's a dream.

Obviously at first it was only boundless darkness, but slowly a figure appeared in the distance, yes, in that darkness, I could see that figure clearly.

It was extremely difficult to walk towards that figure step by step, it was like sinking into an extremely sticky mud pond.

"The person in front, help me," I stretched out my hand vigorously forward, the darkness seemed to have covered my chest, my breathing was getting tighter and tighter, and it was very painful, "Hey! Can you hear... eh, wait, wait, I No, I don't want to fall into the darkness..." The footsteps did not stop for a moment, and so did the seeping body.When I was about to reach my neck, my brain seemed to stop moving at that moment, and the darkness quickly opened its huge mouth like a beast and swallowed me in.

Oh man, this doesn't seem like it could get any worse.

……

"Gangji, wake up." A voice came out from above my head, and a big warm hand rubbed my hair, "Hehe, it's really like me~ the original me." The speech that seemed to sigh, but it could make the eyes closed I can imagine the gentle smiling face of the person in front of me now.

"Hmm...cough!!" Still immersed in the mood of the darkness engulfing just now, the moment the feeling came back, the first action was to take a big gulp of fresh air.The powerless feeling like drowning slowly withdrew from all limbs and bones. After regaining the initiative, I sat up directly and stared blankly at the surprising changes in front of me.

It is no longer a dark color, leisurely clouds are floating cheerfully in the blue sky, there is a classical English building nearby, crabapple flowers are falling along with the wind, hovering in the hollow, and have not landed on the ground for a long time.

While staring wide-eyed, I also found the man who called me. He was sitting beside me, with one leg bent and his right arm resting on it naturally, while the other hand was rubbing my hair.

"Who are you?" Looking puzzled at the blond young man in front of him, the puzzled expression was reflected in his eyes, the faint blue luster, just like the vast sky now, clear, like water, but weaker than the vast ocean, It has no violent waves.

Bending his eyes slightly with a smile, the hand rubbing my hair left my head, and then he stood up.

"Gangji, you are welcome here."

"Hmm... that, may I ask who you are..." Why didn't you answer my question, he is obviously a very handsome person. (Well, in fact, the two have nothing to do with each other~)

After I said that, a strong flame burst out from that man's forehead, and he put his hand on his chest like a fist, and the same flame emitted from his hand, but the thing on that hand...

Hey... isn't that the flame of death air?And the glove on his hand, it really looks like mine... No, it doesn't seem to be the same. Mine has an "X" mark, while his has an "I". Is there any connection...

"I'm Giotto vongole, Emperor Vongola I." The gentle breath seemed to gradually disappear with the beating of the deadly flames, and was replaced by seriousness, but without the slightest murderous aura.

"Peng, Pengo Lie?!" Oh, God, you really love me, how can you hook up with Pengo Lie's people everywhere!And this one in front of me is the ancestor of Vongola, wait, I seem to have forgotten something... The person who created Vengley, Li Baoen said he was my great-grandfather...囧.

"Well, no, I'm your second-great-grandson...ahhaha, how is it possible~ahhaha..." I began to ask evasively, scratching my hair with my hands from time to time, as if I was nervous to rub it rotten.

"Theoretically yes."

"Hey..." =O= There are so many complaints, I don't know what to say, but grandpa-san is really powerful.

"Gangji, do you know why you are in this time and space?"

"Time and space? Is that Japan 200 years ago?" Giotto nodded, "I don't know, it seems that I died in my time."

"No, you didn't die, it's just that time stopped. And you were brought by our will. It was supposed to bring you into my era, but you only have half of the Vongola ring on your body. The power of the vertical time axis is insufficient, so it can only bring you here." He lowered that hand, and the flame of death energy on his forehead disappeared.

I widened my eyes, so I didn't die... "Why, I don't want to inherit Peng Gelie's... Obviously I'm just an ordinary junior high school student, a good-for-nothing who no one likes, and I can just muddle along like this In the past, why did someone come at this time, say that I am the tenth generation of Pengo Lie, and want me to inherit such things, I don't understand!"

I lowered my head and let my bangs cover my eyes, wisps of crystal liquid slipped across my cheeks, "I'm very timid, I always run away, I don't have any friends around me, and I can't do anything well, but," said the body Trembling, his hands were tightly clenched on both sides of his body, and then he relaxed for a moment, "However, the arrival of Li Baoen seems to have given me a different life. Even though I am still useless, the friends around me slowly There are more and more people, they are recognizing me," a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth, "maybe I should thank you, but whether it's the battle with Mukuro, or the ring battle this time, I don't want to, Why do you have to go through this when everyone can be together happily like this, we are all just 14-year-old children!"

"But you still faced it bravely, didn't you?"

"Because I have no choice. Because of the fight, my friends were injured. It can be attributed to me and they were injured. So even if I was forced, I admitted it. I want to gain strength and I want to protect They guard our friendship."

Giotto nodded in satisfaction, then moved closer to me, hugged me into his arms, and gently patted my back with his hand, "You've done a good job." The other hand slid to my head, shining With a pale golden light, the next second, the person in his arms completely leaned against him, "I have received your enlightenment."

"Good dream, Tsunaji."

……

It was still dark, but a glimmer of light could be seen vaguely.

"Gangji, Gangji..."

I heard someone calling my name, who is it?Feeling that voice is extremely familiar, I really want that voice to linger in my ears all the time.

"Gangji, if I don't wake up, I will..."

What are you going to do?Why don't you finish?

While I was still thinking about it, my brain nerves were completely occupied by another feeling.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts!!!" I opened my eyes suddenly, broke free from someone's restraint, and sat up, "Huh, it's Mr. Okita..." After seeing the smiling face of the visitor, I He took a small step back shyly, put his right hand in front of his eyes, and carefully looked at the red mark on his wrist, "It hurts! Can't Mr. Okita call someone well? Why do you have to use such an extreme method? "I rubbed my swollen wrist and stood up to enter the room.

"Ache!" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I opened the door and went in to get a piece of clothing to put on. I didn't observe Mr. Okita's expression carefully until he spoke to me.

"Two days later, the Shinsengumi is going to fight." Okita didn't come in, and leaned against the wooden pillar I leaned against just now. He didn't have the gentle expression on his face just now. He just stared blankly at the sky, gently Sighed.

"What's the matter, Mr. Okita, do you hate war?" Seeing him sigh, I walked out with my clothes on and sat down beside him.

"No, this era is very suitable for war. It's just that I..."

[I don't seem to be able to continue protecting Shinsengumi anymore. 】

Okita raised his hand and looked at his palm, clenched it tightly, frowned, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Ah~ Just let it be." He lowered his arms, stretched his brows, and pulled a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth.

Okita felt something for a moment, raised his head and stared at me with wide eyes.

He was wearing the clothes I had just draped over my shoulders.

"Mr. Okita, as long as you stay like this, as the sword of the Shinsengumi, even if the sword is a little blunt, I will sharpen it, and I will do my best to help Mr. Okita. So, Mr. Okita, you have to be honest , take care of your illness.” I smiled and told Mr. Okita to let him take care of his illness, but the super intuition was against me, and it kept foretelling some unknown things, of course, those all came from Mr. Okita of.

"Ah~ It's just a brat. Hmph~" Okita pulled me over, covered both of us with that dress, put his arms around my shoulders, and put his chin on my head. "It won't be cold this way, Gangji."

"Ah."

"I'll take a break first."

"sweet Dreams."

……

Two days later, the Shinsengumi accepted the official request of the Aizu Domain to participate in the battle, and went to the battlefield to drive out the Choshu Domain who invaded the emperor's residence.

"Our Shinsengumi has since been ordered by the leaders of the capital to go to war!"

"Oh!!"

……

"Eh? Why don't Mr. Okita, Mr. Fujido and Mr. Shannan go?" I poked my head out of the line and looked at Kondo-san.

"Um……"

"The wounded are recuperating in the garrison~" Mr. Harada came over and patted my head, "Oh, I won't be reluctant~"

"Why, how come..." I frantically pushed his hands away from my head.

"set off!"

"Yes!"

I looked back at the three people standing at the door, "Then, let's go."

"It feels like family~"

"Ahh~~ I want to go too~"

"Come back soon, everyone."

……

I followed the main force to the Fushimi Monastery. Kondo-san told the messenger in front of the door about an audience, but was rejected by that person because he had not received such a notice.

According to Kondo-san, we have received the letter.

Obviously have proof, but still refuse to accept it?Why……

Before I could finish thinking, the large troops left here, and I heard from Chizuru that they were going to gather with the guards of the Aizu Domain.

There is nothing to say along the way. The hot weather seems to have evaporated all the water, but everyone still followed Kondo-san's footsteps as always. This may be his unique charm.

The people there told us to go to Jiutiao Heyuan, and we continued our journey without any complaints.

……

evening.

"The Shinsengumi is on standby with our Aizu clan?" The leading guard looked back at the person next to him, but got a shaking of his head. "We didn't get this kind of order, sorry, can you go ask the mansion under the vassal?"

Shinpachi couldn't help but stepped forward, "How many mansions do you have! They told us to come to Jiujo Heyuan!"

"Hello." Kondo-san stopped him with his hand, turned his face, and said with a kind face, "I want to talk to the person in charge of the faction, can I trouble you to pass it on?"

The man showed a disgusted expression, but it changed immediately.

The members of the Shinsengumi were exhausted after a day's work, and their patience had reached their limit, and they had compromised as they lowered their faces to face them.

……

The next morning.

With the sound of shelling, this quiet and peaceful morning was broken.

The people around me who were still taking a nap all opened their eyes cautiously. I saw Kondo-san running out of the tent, and I stood up immediately.

Looking into the distance, the scorched black smoke is slowly pacing towards the sky, in stark contrast to the vitality and soft beams exuding the early morning.

"Let's go." Saito, who was still leaning against the boulder just now, immediately ran towards the large army.

"Yes!" Chizuru and I nodded and said "Yes" respectively and quickly got up and followed him.

The reserve soldiers of the Aizu domain saw our actions and immediately said, "Wait a minute, Shinsengumi, we were asked to be on standby!"

The deputy chief turned his head and said anxiously: "Standby means the bastards from Changzhou attack and come to help!"

"But, but, the order to dispatch us has not yet..."

"Heh, if you have any pride in your work, don't wait for orders with your mouth full, and act for me!" Then he immediately turned around and led the soldiers to the battlefield.

……

A mess.

At this time, the streets did not have the lively atmosphere of the past, and the clean paths were also occupied by bloody corpses, and the destroyed bombardment vehicles were thrown aside indiscriminately, holding tightly the mighty knife that seemed to charge into battle, we Knowing that is Bushido that I know but don't understand.

Stick to the Bushido spirit you trust.

My stomach kept rolling in my body, and I wanted to vomit immediately, but I suppressed that thought.It was the first time I saw a corpse, and there were still so many people dead, the blood dripping on the ground just dried up but didn't fade away, instead it became more bright red.

Mr. Hijikata nodded to Saito and Harada standing beside him, and assigned the task.People from the Aizu domain also fought to give aid, helping to save those who had not yet died.

Soon, Saito came over, "In the early morning, the Choshu forces who attacked the Kamayumon Gate were repelled by the majority of the Aizu Domain and Satsuma."

"Hmph, Satsuma extended a helping hand to the Aizu clan...the world is changing at will~" Mr. Hijikata sighed and smiled like the world. At this time, Harada also came back to report the situation.

"Mr. Tukata, it seems that there are still people from Changzhou remaining at the imperial gate of the public house."

"what?"

"Director, the person who instigated the attack on the emperor's residence went to Tianwang Mountain."

"What to do, old."

"Huh," Mr. Hijikata paused, and then began to dispatch tasks, "Harada, lead the troops to the imperial gate of the public house, and drive back the remnants of Changzhou." Turning his head, "Saito and Yamazaki, please confirm the change of the situation. Make a reservation, guard the gate. Then, general, you have important work," he turned to look at Kondo-san, "In addition to the guys who went to Tianwangshan, there are also remnants of soldiers. If those guys use the power of merchants, even the country Can escape safely," Kondo-san nodded, "If we pursue them, we will leave Kyoto, and you are the only one who can get this approval."

"I know, no matter what, I will persuade the guardian [Note: Guardian is the official title of the first year of the Japanese Bunji (1185)"."

"Well, Mr. Yuan is also following along, make sure the general doesn't let him run away." This sentence made the people around burst into laughter, but it slightly eased the heavy atmosphere at that time.

"Understood, leave it to me."

Instead, "The rest follow me," Mr. Hijikata seemed to look in the direction of Chizuru and me, "Go to Tianwang Mountain!"

"Yes!" Followed everyone to receive the instruction.

"let's go!"

……

We rushed to a small bridge leading to Tianwang Mountain, but we saw a person.

"That's..." I was slightly taken aback when I saw the blond man.It seems that his voice is very similar to that of the adult Lanbo, and he mistook it the first time he heard it.

The large army kept walking forward, and the man quickly drew out his knife and went forward to chop a team member.

The dark red eyes seemed to reflect the color of the gushing blood and became more coquettish, and a bloodthirsty smile hung on his lips, showing a gesture of excitement.

Shinpachi and Chizuru immediately ran to the side of the cut soldier, but I stood there stupidly.

"Look at your coats, it must be Shinsengumi."

What is it called?Killing people for no reason?

"This person was at the Ikeda house that night." Chizuru helped the person bandage the wound on his arm, then immediately turned around and told Mr. Hijikata about it.

"what!"

"Not only did you rush into the Ikeda house that night, but you also thought about doing meritorious service today. It seems that the bait is not enough for the country warriors. No, you are not even warriors."

Why do you talk about other people's pride like this on the sidelines, obviously, everyone in the Shinsengumi is not like that, what do you understand about them...

"Are you the strong enemy at Ikedaya? But, it's really a low-level provocation." There was no trace of anger on Mr. Hijikata's face, as if he was gossiping about his neighbor.

"I also heard that it's just a group of ronin with good skills. So it seems that it's all fabricated. Is his name Okita? For a swordsman, he is really a man with no strength."

I silently put on the gloves in my pocket and clenched my fists calmly.

For a moment, the flame of death filled this fist, and his forehead was also brightly illuminated by the flame.Without a word, I used the propulsion of the flame to rush to the blond man, and swung my arm vigorously, but was blocked by his knife.

"Oh~" He squinted his eyes and looked at me, the power of the knife in his hand seemed to be deliberately reduced.

"What do you really understand? Talking about others like this is trampling on their dignity!"

"Dignity? They are just shogunate lackeys who only want to make meritorious service. But you little brat, did you actually submit to the Shinsengumi?"

Shinpachi was stunned for a moment, then stood up immediately, with an angry expression I had never seen before, "You can say whatever you want to say bad things about the general manager, but before that, tell me the reason for attacking this guy Come out, if the reason cannot be accepted by me, I will kill you immediately!"

"Huh~ reason? Isn't it the same answer as that brat asked? Why do you want to drive away the guy who knew the defeat and left the battlefield? Why can't you understand the time and place of seppuku? ?”

"Then, for the sake of someone's pride, can you take other people's lives?" Qianhe raised her head with a sullen expression, and refuted him, "Being protected by someone has nothing to do with the bright appearance of pride. I think this will make pride change. Get it in bits and pieces!"

The man turned his head to look at Chizuru, as if he was thinking about something, "So you mean that the Shinsengumi can violate other people's pride in order to make meritorious service?"

"that……"

"So you're putting on airs, thinking what you're going to say, don't underestimate the battlefield."

"what?"

"Those who start wars arbitrarily, and run away with their tails between their legs without even the consciousness of dying in battle, can't die like a samurai in a noble way! Beheading sinners is enough, and the reputation of own seppuku is not enough for traitors who resist the court. Say you don't need it."

"Do you want to say that if you start a war, you must be prepared to be killed?"

"If you go to the battlefield without even the consciousness of death, you are the most despicable samurai. If they really have the pride of the samurai, then our serious actions will be the last farewell to them." Mr. Hichikata said After finishing this sentence, the rest of the team surrounded the blond man, "Hey! Have you even forgotten your own work?" Hijikata glanced back at Shinpachi next to him.

The natural response was a knowing smile, "Mr. Hijikata, leave the command of this unit to me now." Shinpachi turned around, "Qianzuru, I'll leave this guy to you, let's go!" Xinpachi Ba ran to the top of Tianwang Mountain without hesitation.

"You guys..." The man looked back at Shinpachi leading the soldiers away, I increased the output of the flames, and grabbed the knife against my glove with my backhand.

melted.

He threw me out with the power of the last knife, and then Mr. Tukata rushed up with the knife and slashed at him, but he avoided it, leaving a few strands of golden hair on the ground.

"Don't look around, don't you even know what a real competition is? Then, you should also prepare your consciousness, and cut down the consciousness of our companions."

"Talking is pretty powerful, but you don't think you can kill me, do you?" As soon as the words fell, his figure rushed in front of Tufang at a very fast speed. A knife, against it.

After a few moves, the knife in his hand was blown away by the earthwork, and in that direction...

Oops!

I quickly flew in the direction of Qianhe, trying to reach out and grab the knife.The knife was indeed obtained, but it still hurt Chizuru who was protecting the wounded.

Blood flowed down Qianhe's arm, and she immediately covered the wound, as if afraid of being seen by others.

"Kazama, that's it." A voice broke in abruptly, "We who are employed by Satsuma, it is meaningless to fight the Shinsengumi, you should be very clear about this."

Kazama hummed, then raised his foot to leave, and at the same time stared straight at Qianhe with blood-red eyes, and after that moment, the two left.

"Huh..." I breathed a sigh of relief and lifted the state of death, "Qianhe, are you okay?"

Mr. Hijikata and I said this in unison, and Mr. Hijikata squatted down and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, "Use this."

"It's okay, I can do it myself." Chizuru's face was a little red, "Thank you," then took the handkerchief, and paused for a few seconds while touching Mr. Hijikata's hand.

evening.

"Mr. Hijikata!" The team members at the top of Tianwang Mountain rushed down, and one of them took over the wounded man who was held up by Mr. Hijikata and me.

"When we got to the top, we found that all the guys in Changzhou had harakiri."

"Hey..." I widened my eyes in surprise, and my heart stopped at that moment.

"Suicide, even though it is an enemy, is a beautiful way to die."

"is this okay?"

"It's certainly not good for the Shinsengumi, because let them complete the task. However, being noble is being noble. Admitting this makes no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, do you understand?"

"Hmm... It's clear but I don't understand..."

"Ah."

"The street... is on fire!" The voice of a team member attracted us.

I looked back at the city not far away.

Scorched smoke lingered, hovering in the sky, and the fiery red piece looked like red coral on the bottom of the clear sea.

The setting sun set against the mountain set off against this scene and hit my chest hard.

The leaders of the Choshu extremist ronin who attacked the Emperor's residence, some died in battle, some committed suicide, and those who escaped set fire to the streets of the capital. After that, the Choshu Domain became a traitor against the imperial court.
