The Last Samurai of Tennis Shinsengumi

Chapter 6 The Phantom Pupil

Qingxue's dormitory was arranged not far from the arena. The chief executive leaned on the barbed wire fence of the playground, watching the lights coming from inside, and thinking of Hijikata's gloomy face, he still shuddered a little.No matter what happened today, he couldn't let him know.He looked back at Katsuro maliciously, he had to seal this person's mouth first.

"Shenglang," the chief executive said with a smile, "don't tell the minister what happened today, especially what happened on the beach!"

"but……"

"Don't but! Or I'll give you a racket. I think I have several in my bag."

Katsuro shook his head resolutely, "Senior Fuji, different rackets are for different occasions."

"Well, that's how it is..." The Chief Chief held his chin and thought for a while, "Katsuro must be very interested in the minister's matter, I'll tell you his anecdote, and you just pretend it never happened."

"Huh?" Katsuro opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Sure enough, the minister's influence is greater, the director sighed, it's not fun to be generous with others, anyway, he has nothing to lose. "Sheng Lang must not know. The minister actually likes to write poems. I will show you his notebook some other day! But this matter must be kept secret!"

"Boss, it's too late to be clever!" Hirasuke walked around from the playground, along with Harada and Shinpachi.

"Saeki just came over and explained everything." Shinpachi said.

"Oh? If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have helped them!" The chief executive muttered angrily.

"What's more serious is that Higa has already filed a complaint with the organizer, and we are likely to be disqualified from the competition." Harada said.

"So if you think about the minister's face, it's already covered with dark clouds." Hirasuke added.

"Sir, today you can use your unique skills, otherwise you will die!" Harada said.

"It's scary!" The chief stuck out his tongue.

When he opened the door of the meeting room, he felt like a dark cloud was covering the top. There were three people sitting in a row on the floor in front of him. Of course, Hijikata was in the middle, Kondo was on the left, and Shannan was on the right.Hirasuke and others came in after him and sat down behind him.The director general respectfully knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground, "I'm very sorry for causing trouble to everyone." He raised his head and showed a pure smile on his face. The empty valley and orchid are as extraordinary and refined, and the moonlight shines from the ice blue eyes. The same charming gaze makes people feel lost.The hostility on the faces of the three people in front of them was slowly melted away, and the three people behind the chief executive all had the feeling that the rain had passed, secretly sighing that although they had time-traveled, the chief executive's phantom pupils were still there!

"A Sui, I don't think the chief executive did it on purpose, so forget it!" Kondo spoke first.

Tu Fangfang's sunny face suddenly became gloomy again, he stood up, and swung his beat at the head of the chief.Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, only the director general still smiled reassuringly, as if he had already calculated that the earthwork would not actually take pictures.Sure enough, the racket stopped abruptly the moment it touched the top of the head, and Tufang said coldly, "Director, cut through my belly!"

The director raised his head, still looking at him with that clear and bright eyes, the corners of Hijikata's mouth twitched a few times, and a few words protruded from between his teeth, "You bastard, don't look at me with that kind of eyes. "

Fail, fail!The chief executive wondered why the phantom pupils always had no effect on Hijikata-san!When I saw the racket above my head, I suddenly felt very funny, didn't it match the solemn atmosphere at all?He suppressed a smile, picked up his racket from the side, and said, "I'm going to do seppuku! Hijikata-san, please excuse me!" He gestured with the racket, turned it upside down, and hit his stomach with the handle A poke, then a swipe to the left along the way, doing it in a decent way, and then yelled, with all four feet in the air, and fell to the ground.As a result, everyone roared with laughter, and the only thing that could hold on was the earthwork.He kicked the chief executive's leg, "Don't pretend to be dead for me, you broke all five department rules today, you run 250 laps around the playground for me!"

"Ah, A Sui, isn't 250 laps too much?" Kondo asked hurriedly.

"Kondo-san, don't be fooled by his phantom pupil!"

"Hey? Is there any?"

Hirasuke and the others nodded, "Yes, yes, Kondo-san has such a good heart, he is easily bewitched!"

Seeing that there was no way for the general manager to get up from the ground wobbly, 250 laps, oh my god, if he had to run until dawn, he would be able to circle the entire Edo Castle once.

"Harada-kun, you guys are watching him for me, he has to finish today."

Watching a few people go out, Hijikata couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, every time he would be bewitched by his phantom pupils, and every time he saw those starry eyes, he would have the urge to kiss.At first, I thought that after time travel, I would never see those eyes again, but I didn't expect to be attracted by a pair of completely different eyes just now, and I almost lost my composure.The phantom pupil is the power of the soul, right?

"What should I do? Hijikata-san!" Shannan's words interrupted his train of thought, and he turned his gaze back.

"Apologize to me, what else can I do?"

The director walked to the playground and saw a small figure running around the playground.He immediately smiled, feeling sympathetic to each other, finally a bit of comfort.But Saito has always been a good boy, how could he offend Hijikata this time?

"Hey, Ichi-kun, are you fined to run too? Which one did you commit?" The chief executive quickly ran two steps to catch up with Saito.

"I didn't get a penalty run." Saito replied honestly, "I heard that playing tennis and running is a necessary practice, so I came to run."

The chief was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Yijun, you are so easygoing!"

Saito shook his head, "I just thought that since I was destined to hold the racket, I should do my best?"

"Really?" The chief is in awe of Saito's seriousness, no matter what Saito is doing, he will always go all out, but he can't do it, there are very few things in life that he can devote himself to , heart?Does he still have a heart?Heart is already broken, right?

"Hurry up, Chief, don't dawdle, it's only two laps!" Harada shouted at him outside the playground.

"Hi!" The chief executive replied feebly, then turned to Saito and said, "Have you heard of ghosts?"

"Ghost clan?" Saito shook his head.

"They were called Protoss again." The chief executive continued, he looked up at the starry sky, and his voice became extremely distant. "That is an unusually ancient nation, and they have extraordinary abilities."

"Like your phantom pupil?" Saito said.

"Ah, Yijun is so smart!" The Chief Secretary laughed, "People fear them and call them ghosts; but some people call them gods because they have amazing beauty."

Saito suddenly turned his head and looked at the chief seriously.

"Why? I didn't praise myself for being good-looking!"

Saito shook his head, "They must have a fatal weakness, right?"

"Yijun is really smart." The director general smiled, but did not continue, but changed the subject, "Almost every major war in history has their shadows. Some people succeeded, but they married humans and reproduced. , their superpowers gradually lost, and they became ordinary people, and some failed and died vigorously, but they were always admired, just like Sanada Yukimura in the Warring States Period."

"Those two swords are the artifacts of the ghost clan, right?" Saito asked.

The general manager nodded, and had to admire Saito's quick response. "Since ancient times, there have been two swords in this nation. Both swords have powerful power, but they mutually restrain each other. If two sword holders have the same mind and the two swords combine, they can change the world according to their own ideas. If When the two swords fight each other, a huge force is aroused, which will cause a huge disaster and even destroy the world."

"You and Takasugi Shinsaku are two sword bearers, right?"

"Yeah, he found me that day, and hoped that I would overthrow the shogunate with him. I didn't agree, and the two of us ended up fighting. As a result, we distorted time and space and came to a time and space where the shogunate no longer existed. Do you know if this is the result of compromising the wishes of the two of us!" At the moment facing Takasugi, he could no longer bear the impulsiveness, disregarding Hijikata's warning and pulled out the ghost sword. Let's end it, let the world be destroyed, he is already tired of killing, tired of war, tired of blood!

"Saito."

"Ok?"

"Today, I stood in front of the monument in the test hall, and I wondered if we really existed?"

"It existed!" Saito said.

"is it?"

"At this moment, you and I exist here!"

"Yijun really has no sense of humor!"

"I am telling the truth."

"Yijun, what I told you today is our secret, don't tell anyone."

Saito looked back at him strangely, "Why did you tell me?"

The chief executive looked back at him, showing the most beautiful smile under the moonlight, but Saito felt like being dragged into the water.

"The phantom pupil is also ineffective against Yijun! Yijun is too unimaginative." The chief director was a little disappointed.

"Phantom pupils will make people see beautiful hallucinations, right?"

"Yes?"

"What is in front of my eyes is the most beautiful in my opinion!"

"Really?" The chief executive recited Saito's words silently in his heart, which meant to cherish the present, right?Saito is the most innocent person, he thought, always living in the present moment.

After running ten laps, the chief fell to the ground and pretended to be dead and never got up again. Heisuke and others saw that Hijikata hadn't come back, so they didn't bother to care about him. The five of them sat in the middle of the playground and chatted. At night, they often do the same, telling their own stories until dawn.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the group of people in Higa are members of the barbarian rogue group, almost all of them are from the Changzhou domain. They cut down anyone who doesn't like it in Kyoto. They just use the name of barbarians to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Those people should have learned a lesson a long time ago. It's just ruining the spirit of the samurai!"

"Do you think we can still participate in the competition?" Shinpachi said.

"Don't worry, if Higata-san goes out, those boys in Higa will run away with their heads in their hands." The chief executive said without worry.

"You think Hijikata-san is as violent as you?" Hirasuke asked.

"Haven't you all seen the violence of Hijikata-san!" the chief executive laughed.

"That's true." Thinking of the stern look that Hijikata taught swordsmanship every time, several people couldn't help nodding.Presumably when he raised his eyebrows coldly, the other party was terrified.

"Hey, this time, you guessed wrong!"

Everyone turned around and found that Shannan and Kondo had already walked over.

"Really?"

"A Sui's attitude this time is very respectful." Kondo said.

As it happened, Higata bowed sincerely when he came to Higa, and said, "I'm very sorry! I came here to apologize." I don't want those people to hear this familiar sentence, and they are already terrified.Then the earthwork said with a very humble attitude, "In any case, please withdraw automatically, otherwise the guy in charge will kill you all!"

Harada and others burst out laughing after hearing Kondo and Shannan's narration, "As expected of our captain!"

"Damn, who is as bloody as him!" The chief executive complained dissatisfied.

"Isn't this considered a war without a fight?" Kondo said. "Boss, how many laps are left?"

"Just ran ten laps." Harada said.

"Then since there is no race tomorrow, let's run the [-] laps together!" Kondo suggested.

Long Qi looked at the people running on the playground, his eyes were full of smiles, they are a group of good kids, it's a pity they were born at an untimely time. "Is that okay, Tezuka?"

Hijikata glanced at it, and suddenly felt that it was a bit redundant to make any rules, "It's okay! Everyone should get up later tomorrow. Well, regarding the matter of Higa, I think it's better to persuade them to withdraw from the game! That's a group of Lawless people, I'm afraid that if they lose in the competition, it may lead to violent conflicts, and the impact will be bad. That's why I make my own decisions."

"It doesn't matter!" Ryuzaki said, "You can make decisions about the affairs of the team." This tennis match is no longer a simple tennis match. The war at the end of the Bakumatsu seems to be continuing here, and that is already beyond her ability. All that is hoped is for the children to return safely.But the group of people in front of him made him reluctant again!
