The end of the curtain

?Nijo Castle is shrouded in a quiet night, as if all sounds will melt into this piece of silence at any time.

It is because of the depth of the night that it seems to be able to contain everything.But the so-called tolerance is just that the boundless darkness is cold and numb to the sunless heart, without sadness or joy.

"Dating a woman in this kind of place, it seems that you are really horny." A cold blue-blue sharp edge flashed in front of his eyes, and Chikage Kazama just stepped back a few steps in a leisurely manner. Stepping forward, I cast my eyes on it with great interest.

——Harada Sanosuke with a long spear, Saito Kazu with a dignified sword.

"Oh? It seems that the noses of dogs in the country are really sensitive enough." Chikage Kazama was so arrogant that it was indescribable, her chin was slightly raised, and her blood-colored eyes were full of disdain.

"We should say this." Saito was not annoyed by what they said, and maintained a rare sense of reason.The projected silvery moonlight flowed between the sharp edges of the Taidao, tactfully exuding a murderous aura that was calm but ready to be released.

"Mr. Harada! Mr. Saito!" Chizuru looked at Harada and Saito who stood in front of her in surprise. At this moment, a warm and strong hand was placed on Chizuru's shoulder. The voice sounded: "I thought you were here to take the general's head, but why are you staring at this brat now?"

"Whether it's the general or you human beings, these are the problems of our ghost clan." Chikage Kazama turned her gaze to Chizuru. Hearing that Chizuru lowered her head slightly and said nothing, Hijikata just glanced at it with a little doubt Qianhe's dark purple eyes flashed an incomprehensible depth.

"Please stop, just like when the door was forbidden, we have no reason to fight you this time." Although Tianwu Jiushou proposed to stop the fighting as calmly and politely as before, people who seemed peaceful were often more dangerous.

He is also a ruthless character...

"Unfortunately, we have a reason to fight you this time." Saito's lips curled up into a faint smile, and the blades of the two sides collided fiercely in the blink of an eye. Together.

Facing Chikage Kazama's strong attack, Hijikata also suddenly pulled out the tachi from his waist, only feeling the load on his hand increase in an instant, and the blade in front of him had spun golden sparks.

——Human beings are entangled endlessly!

Kazama Chikage is obviously a little angry. The ghost clan has hidden powerful forces for thousands of years to avoid wars and killings and lives in the mountains and forests.The Fuxing family only wanted to take this female ghost away, but this group of wild dogs pretending to be warriors from the countryside blocked it time and time again, and his patience was going to be exhausted.

At the moment when the swords and swords intersected, Hijikata realized that Kazama's strength was not something they could easily defeat, but the only thought in Hijikata's heart right now was to protect Chizuru and resolutely prevent anyone from hurting her. try best!

In the end, the battle was terminated by Tianwu Jiushou's reappearance to stop it.

——There is no point in continuing to fight here.

Yep, since it doesn't make any sense, why fight in the first place?The fighting of the ghost clan is just for self-defense, right?What about human combat?Is it also like ghosts?No, there are many reasons for human beings to fight. The most ridiculous thing is to fight for their own desires and interests, but keep shouting for a new dawn.

"It's been confirmed, there's absolutely no need to get entangled any longer." Before leaving, Chikage Kazama rested her meaningful gaze on Qianzuru, and said to Shiranui Kuang so casually.Qianhe looked at the figure that disappeared in the mist in an instant, feeling powerless physically and mentally for a moment.

...I, who am I...

...Ghost?

—————————————————————

[Forgive me for being poor in words and not wanting to write so tired anymore. . .I finally threw away my sister's paper to make a oil bottle. Such a heroine is not bad, and it is interesting to be suppressed~ Sakura sauce is crazy, please ignore it. . .And I'm not writing about the following plot. . . →_→]

Mr. Hijikata walked very fast, and even Sakurai, who was only a few steps away at the beginning, disappeared after a few turns.To be honest, Sakurai doesn't know the way here very well, and she can't tell the east, west, north, east, and west of the winding streets of Japan.

So, I lost my way again... What is this place again?When are you still playing Lost now?She doesn't remember that she is a Lu Chi!No, at a time like this, you should hurry up and find a way to find Chizuru.

Sakurai raised his head and looked around, and saw that on the right hand side of where he was, there was a tall city wall extending to the hazy end in front of him, while on the left hand side was a vast expanse of light brown reed grass, slanted by a gust of wind. It had to blow past, and the reed grass that was already half a person's height made a "rustling" sound because of the interlacing friction.

Because the direction was aimless, Sakurai's walking pace could not help but slow down.Originally, she was a girl from a health school. As a doctor, she would not be timid. After staying in the Shinsengumi for a long time, she occasionally watched them go down and deprive other people's lives... All of this, Sakurai has lost her fear in her heart. psychology.

In other words, she only wants to find Qianhe and everyone, all her thoughts are in one place... Although her intuition and scattered memories in her mind tell her that Qianhe will be fine...

Although the dirt road we are walking on is wide and almost unobstructed, occasionally one or two towering old trees that look very old and lush can be seen on the straight road.I ran out in such a hurry and did not have a lantern, only in the hope that tonight would be a bright moonlight.

"Dingling, Dinglingling, Linglingling..." There was a faint sound of bells, followed by the wind slowly blowing with a faint fragrance of reed grass.

It was a very familiar voice, as if I had heard it somewhere before.However, it seems that because of the long isolation, I can't remember when I heard this voice...

Sakurai stopped abruptly, and stood motionless on the spot, only feeling that her heartbeat was gradually accelerating.It wasn't because of this inexplicable weirdness that he was afraid, but more like looking forward to something after a long absence.

This feeling...huh?It seems that someone is nearby...

The reappearance of that inexplicable perception ability is not a real picture in the mind... A burst of inaudible footsteps came, with the strange aura so cleverly concealing the intention of killing .

I couldn't bear this strange feeling, and my intuition told her that there were people nearby, but they were not ordinary people with a clean aura, and they must have extraordinary skills.

Now it is not very clear whether the other party is hostile to her, Sakurai frowned slightly, and then she determined the direction based on her feeling - a few dense old trees two feet away in front of the left.

There is no way to continue this confrontation. When Sakurai decided to find out, there was a low voice of a girl laughing.It sounded like it was fourteen or fifteen years old, but it wasn't the innocence of girls of this age, but a very weird laughter, which was indescribably dangerous.

"Who?" Sakurai's men subconsciously pressed on the handle of the Big Dipper knife at his waist, and at the same time, an unreal figure suddenly flashed across the extremely dim light among the mottled tree shadows.

By the moonlight, Sakurai probably saw the appearance of the other party.She was dressed in a dark pink women's kimono, about the same height as Chizuru, and held an unsheathed samurai sword in her hand.But she couldn't see her face, because she was wearing a tight city girl's hat covering her entire face.

"You are—" The inexplicably familiar feeling, the feeling of the past made Sakurai lose all his vigilance in an instant.But before she could finish her words, the girl turned around quickly, her petite figure had already flashed onto a tree several meters high, and disappeared in the vast expanse after a while and lost her trace.

Yuki...Yukijiang...

Sakurai stared blankly at her disappearing back for a long time, feeling a sense of loss spontaneously.When she came back to her senses, she nodded and glanced unintentionally over the place where the girl was standing just now, but a string of delicately carved bell ornaments suddenly appeared on the empty ground.

……

The Shinsengumi's task of guarding the general's safety in Nijo Castle was successfully completed, and the Shinsengumi also set off to return to the Shinsengumi's settlement.

After that, Sakurai found everyone's residence alone, but when she saw Chizuru who was safe and sound, she didn't show much worry, she just smiled lightly and said "it's fine".

It can be seen that her complexion is not very good, and it can even be said that it is dark when there is no one around. The smile just now can be seen by everyone, and it is very far-fetched.

At the same time, Qianhe is no longer as energetic as before, but is sluggish all day long.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

It was already a few days later when I returned to the village, and it was dinner time.Although everyone felt very tired after working day and night for a few days, they felt very good when they got home, so they all laughed and teased each other and prepared to finish the meal.

Then they heard the sad news that today's dinner was prepared by Hepingzhu, the chief director of the left-behind settlement.Everyone's expression changed upon hearing the news, and the smile that was still on their face just now became stiff.

That's right, when they thought about the meals cooked by Mr. Okita, everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and almost retching against the pillars around them. They all found reasons to escape.

Forgive us, in that case, it would be better to go to battle and kill the enemy!

Tufang's face turned dark immediately, his gloomy eyes swept over everyone, and suddenly there was a low air pressure around him that made people unable to breathe, and everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to hum again, so they had to put on a heroic look. The appearance of sacrifice walked into the dining hall.

——The rules in the bureau, no food wasted.

When eating, everyone grumbled and groaned while eating.The only thing is that although Sakurai and Qianzuru, who have always been well-behaved, ate with everyone, they didn't show the same dark color of pain, they just lowered their heads and ate without saying a word.How much concentration do they have for such a salty and spicy dish? ! ! !Even our director general laughed when he heard that it was the director general who was cooking.

Soon Sakurai and Chizuru finished their meal, they just said "I'm full" to everyone, opened the sliding door one after another and had to go out, waiting for everyone to finish their meal and then go to clean up tableware.

The two girls sat side by side on the corridor outside, bathed in the cool evening breeze, they didn't say a word to each other, but each of them was depressed in their hearts.

"Hey, little Chizuru, you don't seem to be feeling well." Sakurai finally raised his head to look at Chizuru who nodded silently, "If you're not feeling well, just leave the table and chopsticks to me for today."

"Huh? No, I'm fine." Qianzuru looked up at Sakurai with a faint smile on his lips, and couldn't help but smile.

——Obviously even you look like that, okay?

But Chizuru, who has always been energetic in everything he does, is not like this. Did he just come back and was too tired from running around sending orders?But it doesn't look like this...

"It's okay, go and take a rest. There are not as many bowls and chopsticks as usual today, so Xiao Qianhe can go and have a rest. If you want, help me organize the medical books on the table."

"...Well, thank you Xiaoxu!" To be honest, I was really tired.If there is no problem, I am willing to help Xiaoxu sort it out. ?
