[Sword Three] How to break the lady who is a technical emperor

Souji Okita had a dream.

He dreamed of a girl in black sitting on a tree in the center of the lake in the forest, looking down at him, with beautiful eyes and a coldness that couldn't be concealed.Her hair was slightly fluttered by the breeze, and the full moon behind her gently emitted light.

It turned out to be an old friend.he thought.But how could I forget such a beautiful girl?

It's just that he looked at the girl in his dream and thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Okita? Okita?"

In a haze, Souji Okita felt someone calling his name, he opened his eyes, and the dream dissipated like dewdrops.

"Shinpachi?" He recognized himself in the hotel room, sat up, rubbed his forehead, and asked, "I just..."

"You just fainted suddenly." Shinpachi said worriedly. "If it wasn't for that young lady's action, I'm afraid you would be knocked on the table right now and bleed out."

Then he looked at Souji Okita seriously, and asked, "Okita, how is your illness? We all thought you were fully recovered."

"..." Okita was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know either." He lay back on the tatami exhaustedly, and closed his eyes again.

Finding that there would be no result if he continued to ask, Shinpachi didn't want to disturb his rest, so he left the room silently.

He is going to find Qingluo.

He didn't know why, but he just felt that if he went to find Qingluo, Qingluo would definitely help.

"So, you want me to find out why your friend became like this?" Qing Luo said.

"Yes, please take care of everything." Shinpachi said seriously.

"It's just that I need a suitable reason so that I won't be suspected by him." Qingluo said leisurely.

"This is easy." Shinpachi showed a determined smile, "You just investigate."

Cooperation is reached.

So when the group returned to Kyoto, there were two more people in Okita's team.

Although he expected Xinpachi's intentions, he still felt very sorry. Qingluo and Fuchen's identities would not be too low at a glance. How can a person like himself be qualified?

Qingluo also expected this, and when she was preparing to return, she said to Mr. Okita, "It's okay." After a pause, she added, "Because it's on the way."

Drop in? !Before Okita could think carefully about the meaning of this sentence, Shinpachi shouted, "What? Qing Luo, you actually live in Xiajing District?!"

"Yeah." Qingluo nodded, didn't say anything more, just said, "We'll know when the time comes."

Okita and the others will soon know what it means to know when the time comes.

"You live here?!" Shinpachi pointed to the neighbor of Shinsengumi in shock and asked tremblingly.

"Yes." Qingluo said naturally.

"So..." Okita thought for a while, Shannan did mention to him that the person who woke him up was nearby, "The person Mr. Shannan mentioned is you?"

"Ah..." Qingluo was about to say something when Shannan's startled voice came from behind, "Qingluo? Why are you here?"

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Keisuke Shannan standing behind them holding a few fish with a shocked expression on his face.

"This is a very, very long story." Qing Luo reacted very quickly, and said, "It's getting late, please forgive me." After speaking, she decisively pulled the whisk and left.

"You guys," Shannan saw Qingluo running away, squinted his eyes and looked at those people, "There are still a few days, why did you come back early? Give me a reasonable explanation."

"Ah, that," Shinpachi said uncomfortably, "Well, that's it, I'll leave Okita to you!" After speaking, he dragged the others and quickly ran away.

Okita, who was left behind, yelled inwardly, but still forced himself to face Keisuke Shannan with a smile on his face, and said, "...I fainted."

"Having fainted?" Shannan's face turned serious, "How is it possible?"

"...What's the matter?" Okita looked at Shannan suspiciously, "Isn't this what I used to be?"

"..." Shannan looked at him for a long while, and said, "You really weren't like this before. It's okay, go in and rest." But he thought in his heart that Qingluo's prescription never had any side effects, so what is it? What went wrong?Shannan is not a doctor, so even if the medicinal materials have been tampered with, he doesn't know, so he can only ask Qingluo for help.

Thinking, he didn't go back to Shinsengumi, but turned around and walked into Qing Luo's door.

"I've seen his situation before." Qingluo said indifferently, "It stands to reason that this kind of problem shouldn't and cannot happen."

"Then what..." Shannan asked worriedly.

"..." Qing Luo took a deep look at him, "Are you sure you want to listen?"

Seeing her expression, Shannan couldn't help becoming serious, he sat upright and said, "Please explain."

"My medicine has been changed." Qingluo said, "I thought you were one of them, but now it seems that you were kept in the dark like me."

"..." At this moment, Shannan was struck by lightning.

This shows what?It means he is no longer trusted.

"You're too close to me." Qing Luo said. "His current situation may be beneficial to the person who changed the medicine, so that person will indulge this point, and then your group needs him to become like this, has a certain foundation in medical skills, and has serious ambition and desire to control. People—" she said, she glanced at Shannan who was stunned, but didn't point out. "Shannan, be careful in the future."

"So it was him." Shannan said in a low voice.Unknowingly, he pressed the handle of the knife beside him.

"The consequences of changing the medicine are very serious," Qingluo continued to drink tea, and said, "It's just me, there is no good way except to observe him for a while, as for the loss of memory—" She wrinkled invisible Frowning, "There's no way to do this, let's wait for him to recover naturally."

"Qingluo, thank you." Shannan bowed, and said with a straight face, "No matter what, I never regretted being with you."

"...Shannan, you are a good person," Qing Luo took a deep look at him and sighed, "I'm afraid you won't be able to pass your own test."

"...Maybe." Shannan said with a wry smile.Then he left.

Qingluo looked at his back which had become much lower, and sighed.

Since ancient times, trust has always been the weakest and strongest relationship between human beings, isn't it?

Even Ruan Qingluo herself, after leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, the only thing she can trust is the puppets around her.

Keisuke Shannan was walking on the streets at the end of October. He was originally a son of a rich family, and he had read a lot of poetry and books. He came to Shinsengumi to express his ambitions. Because he has read more books than others, he is rich in knowledge, and he has a better vision than others. Looking at it in the long term, and Qingluo is the confidant he made when he was traveling abroad. After accumulating, the meaning of Qingluo to him is far more than just a simple friend.

But his organization didn't treat Qingluo like him. Although Qingluo is 'dead' now, when she was still 'alive', Shannan had seen the love between Isamu Kondo and Toshizo Hijikata more than once. Fear and rejection, not to mention the stupid plan of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Even though the existence of Qingluo is dead in their eyes, his friend has already been given the impression of a 'strange and terrifying person'.

In the hearts of Isamu Kondo and Toshizo Hijikata, who are deeply influenced by Bushido, such people are like poisonous people, they avoid them for fear, even if they want something from others, they will subconsciously put on a benevolent attitude.

It's not that Shannan doesn't know this, he just hopes that he can be the link between the two, and through himself, the two can benefit from each other.

But it turned out that he was still thinking too naively.

Some things are not so simple to solve, just like water and fire, although Qingluo is not a foreigner, but Shannan knows exactly that there will be more elements in Qingluo that are despised by Bushido.

Ah.

Shannan smiled bitterly. Is the proposition he has been sticking to all this time really as correct as he thought?

he does not know.

Now that there is such a big gap with his ideal, he doesn't know anything anymore.

The weather in October is not very cold, but Keisuke Shannan's heart is already filled with bitter wind and bitter rain.

One day, he will also face such a situation, right?Shannan looked at Souji Okita's room and thought.

People always have to face many choices, don't they?

The spring of 1868 was as usual.

Even though the country has been burned beyond recognition by the flames of war, the cherry blossoms still bloom as scheduled in spring, reminding people that the beautiful season is coming again.

A piece of cherry blossom petals floated into the teacup mischievously. Mr. Okita looked at the teacup in his hand and smiled, and said: "If Mr. Kondo and Mr. Hijikata are still here, they will probably scold me, an unqualified samurai, all over the face. Bar."

"What?" Wang Ya asked.

"Because," Souji Okita narrowed his eyes happily, and said, "Between Bushido and her, I chose the latter."

"With me like this, I have long since lost the qualifications to be called a warrior." He sighed, "But even if I choose her, I am still afraid, afraid of making mistakes, and afraid of being discovered by others."

"Duplicate appearance." Satosuke commented.

"No." Director Okita said mockingly. "That's how I deviated from my way."

"No." Qingwu in her arms suddenly said, and when everyone's eyes were on her, she said, "Mother doesn't think you deviated from your own way, what you think you deviate from is only in the eyes of others. It's just the way you should go."

She imitated Qingluo's tone, and the old god said, "There are thousands of ways, and everything can enter the way. If you have to follow one way, wouldn't it be extremely boring?"

A child's tone was so old-fashioned, it was really funny, everyone laughed out loud, and after it was over, Wang Ya said, "What she said is not unreasonable."

"Ah," Okita sighed, "she's always very reasonable."

The author has something to say: Catch up on the list is really a death _(:3」∠)_

Cough, let me explain, the format used in this article is a mixed forward and backward format, which is basically [Wang Ya and others are reminiscing about the old days in the Wang family compound → eliciting the past → continuing to recount the old days].

_(:3」∠)_People who just talk about it will definitely be cheated.

The next chapter is supposed to be dating and meeting my sister?
