Inquisitor's Melancholy

"Hey, Okita-kun is here, right? Mother said that Okita-kun is our savior! So we want to repay Okita-kun!"

One of the children said with a smile, while the other couldn't help but poke his head into the courtyard: "Sakura?... Wow, there are cherry blossoms blooming, so beautiful!"

"Ah! It's true!"

The attention of the two children was quickly attracted by the cherry blossoms, which made Lixian a little bit dumbfounded, it seemed that it was difficult to ask something from their mouths, "Well,... If you are willing to stay here today If it’s a secret, I can take you in to have a look, how about it?”

Li Xian blinked at the two children, showing a faint smile.Okita Souji is a lively person. When he was in the Shinsengumi village, he often played with the nearby children. Now he is stuck here and has no chance to contact people outside. If these two children go in, Maybe he will be happy.

Unexpectedly, Li Xian's action made the two children startled, "Big brother, you are prettier than Sakura."

"Huh? Uh..."

If other people say that Li Xian is good-looking, Li Xian will just listen to it as a compliment, but the children's eyes are clear and dust-free, and when they see them looking at him with wide-open eyes, Li Xian feels a little embarrassed , he unconsciously turned his face away, only to see Souji Okita standing at the door smiling and looking at them, but that smile had no good intentions no matter how you looked at it.

Lixian glared at Souji Okita angrily, and Soji Okita smiled even more cheerfully.

"You are prettier than Sakura." Okita Souji also said, and then he stretched out his hand to the two children, "Do you want to come over and eat Kopei candy?"

"Yes!"

After hearing Jin Pingtang, the two little guys hugged Mr. Okita without hesitation. The three of them laughed together, and Lixian had no choice but to stand outside the door with his arms crossed and watched them for a long time.There is only a threshold distance between him and Okita Souji and the others, but he feels that he can't walk in no matter what.

Li Xian's smiling eyes drooped, knowing that they were not from the same era, why did he feel reluctance?

No, he just promised An Ding to accompany Souji Okita until the last moment.

This is an agreement he made, and he must abide by it.So far, he will not give more affection.

In the next few days, the two children named Shirou and Yusuke would often come to play with Souji Okita, because their visits made the guest house much more lively.

It has really become "lively".

Lixian put down the herbal tea in his hand, and pretended to glance at a corner of the courtyard wall inadvertently. He is a master who is used to hiding his breath, but the sad thing is that when he climbed over the wall and came over, he saw the blooming cherry blossoms, and his breath was wrong for a moment. , was discovered by Li Xian, those people are really getting better and better.

I don't know what kind of people will be sent over next time?

Well, but Shirou and Yusuke were originally attracted by his cherry blossoms. Without him, the two children would not even have the chance to meet Okita Souji, and their whereabouts would not be discovered , followed to come here.Since it was the butterfly effect caused by his intervention, it should be resolved by him.

"Boss, have you ever eaten candied haws? It's delicious... Wait a moment, and I'll bring back candied haws to reward you."

Li Xian finished speaking to Souji Okita and walked out of the courtyard. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind those soldiers who were trying to climb over the wall to investigate the situation.

"If you want to go to someone else's house, just take the gift and go in through the front door. Didn't mom tell you not to climb over the wall? It's dangerous?"

Li Xian's voice suddenly sounded, scaring one of the soldiers to fall off the wall. The corners of Li Xian's lips rose, adding a bit of evil to his handsome face, "Look, it's very dangerous."

"But for you, I should be more dangerous, right?"

Li Xian slowly pulled out the wooden knife from behind, his voice became extremely cold, and even the air was filled with killing intent.Those people seemed to want to avoid fighting with Li Xian, and quickly waved their hands, "Wait, wait... We are just curious that there are cherry blossoms blooming here, and we have no other ideas."

"Yes, you should be satisfied if you can see the beautiful cherry blossoms before you die."

Seeing that Li Xian couldn't be fooled, they raised their guns at Li Xian, "Don't come here! Souji Okita is here, right? Hahahaha, if you can kill the Souji Okita of the Shinsengumi, how big would it be?" glory!"

Li Xian narrowed his eyes, and it turned out to be members of the new government army. When they dealt with Isamu Kondo, they rejected Isamu Kondo's request for seppuku. Although the method of seppuku is far more painful than beheading, it is a belief in Bushido The most noble way of death for the spiritual samurai.They believe that the soul is placed in the belly, so seppuku is to show the world their noble and pure soul.

However, they said that Isamu Kondo was just a reckless man from the countryside, not worthy of dying as a samurai, and finally sentenced Isamu Kondo to the humiliating punishment of the head of a samurai.

Thinking of the man who was shy when talking to girls and had a gentle and cheerful personality, Li Xian gripped the sword a little tighter.

Director Okita withdrew from the front line of the war. There have long been rumors that he fell seriously ill. Even so, aren't they planning to let him go?

Li Xian was very glad that the historical Okita Souji didn't die because of these people's sneak attacks, so... he was also protecting history by doing this, right?The smile on Li Xian's face grew wider, and he slowly walked towards those soldiers, "Do you know what you said just now, it made me angry."

The look as if he was already looking at the dead object startled a soldier holding a firecracker. Before he could react, he pulled the firecracker with his hand, and the bullet shot towards Li Xian.Li Xian just tilted his head slightly, and avoided the bullet, "That kind of thing is useless to me."

After all, he does not exist in this era, so even if he is injured, it is recoverable and will not be fatally injured. The only thing that can kill him is the time retrograde army that also does not belong to this era.

After that, no matter how they shot at Li Xian, Li Xian cleverly avoided them. Seeing Li Xian getting closer and closer to them, they finally pulled out their swords in a panic.This person used a wooden knife, no matter how good his sword skills were, it would be difficult for him to be against all of them.

Li Xian waved the wooden knife in his hand vigorously, and rushed forward. He didn't intend to lose to humans other than Sasaki Kojiro.

Not long after, Li Xian patted his hands, not even a drop of blood was stained on the snow-white clothes, he watched a wooden knife across the bodies of those people in front of him, the blood flowing wantonly on the ground seemed to be It was reflected in his dark eyes like a mirror, shining with red light.

"It's really the best 'candied haws'."

Li Xian turned around and left without a memorial. The corpses of the people behind him turned into broken cherry blossom petals and disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't the first time Lixian had killed someone, but it was the first time he helped dispose of the corpse.There is no way, he can't let those people go back alive, and report the news of Director General Okita to the new government army, and he doesn't want Director General Okita to know that his hands are full of blood.

By the time Lixian found the dessert shop, made candied haws with local materials and returned to the guest house, Mr. Okita was already lying in front of the window in a light sleep, looking quiet and peaceful. If not for the slight breathing, Lixian would have I almost thought that Souji Okita might be dead.

He shook the candied haws towards Okita Souji's nose, perhaps smelling the sweetness of the candied haws, the curly eyelashes of Chief Okita trembled twice, and then opened his eyes.

"Sorry, because there is no candied haws sold here, so I had to make some myself and wasted time."

"Eh? This is candied haws, isn't it very similar to the apple candy that has been spread overseas?"

Mr. Okita took over the candied haws, what kind of fruit is in it?The red one is so pretty.

"No, this is a dessert that belongs to my country. It's delicious." Li Xian's eyebrows and eyes were curved. mouth, "Oh!...This is very delicious, sweet and sour. I have never eaten such a dessert. It is as delicious as Jinpingtang!"

Candied haws can be regarded as a great success for Mr. Okita, who likes Jinpeitang the most, to say such a thing.

"As long as you like it, I will make it for you as many times as you want in the future."

"Thank you."

Mr. Okita held the candied haws, and after biting a few bites, he suddenly calmed down, and then said in a deep voice, "Ri Xian,...can you tie my hair up for me? Like in Shinsengumi."

Ever since he left the Shinsengumi and lived here, Souji Okita always wears the simplest clothes. His jet-black long hair is smooth even if he doesn’t comb it. In summer, he only needs to wear a light yukata. If it's cooler, just add a shawl, which is the most comfortable outfit for him.

Reixu didn't quite understand why Souji Okita suddenly tied up his long hair. Could it be that he was missing Shinsengumi?

After Mr. Okita finished eating the candied haws, he sat quietly under the eaves, and Reishen stood behind him, gently brushing his black hair with a wooden comb, the cold strands of hair passing through his fingers, Received in the palm of Li Xian.

Because he himself has long hair, he still knows how to simply tie it into a ponytail. He tied his long hair with a lavender headband, and Li Xian leaned down and asked, "Is this okay?"

"and this."

Director Okita took out a clean white bowl roll and handed it to Li Xian.After Lixian tied it between his foreheads, Director Okita stood up and asked, "How is it?"

"very nice."

"Heh... Do you know Lixian? I held a sword at the age of nine, defeated Kondo-sensei at the age of 19 and became the number one master of the natural spiritual style, at the age of 20 I was the captain of the Shinsengumi first team and a swordsmanship instructor, and I met you at the age of 22. "Shoji Okita took out Yamato Shou'an, and looked at Li Xian seriously, "At that time, I was thinking, if I have the opportunity, I must compete with you."

The author has something to say:

Li Xian's method of killing people and stringing them into candied haws seems a bit perverted, but since this guy has said before that he is not a good person, so for him... it is... normal... right?
