The Seven Realities of the Rogue

Header ps:

The reaction in the book review section terrified me. t^t

------------------

After Takanomiya met Ai and the members of the Shinsengumi that day, Takanomiya Kyoichi approached Nanami.

Not in the Shinsengumi, but stopped her at the alley where Qishi was performing her mission that night.

"Asakura, our lady wants to meet you alone." Jingyi's tone was not respectful, since Qishi defeated him, this man seemed to be a little hostile towards her.

"..."

Is there something that was not made clear before?

Qishi was puzzled, her feeling for Takanomiya's beloved was very delicate, neither friendly nor vigilant, the weird similarity gave her a headache.

"Miss, she said, be sure to come and see me."

"Yeah." Since Takanomiya's heart is so determined, it's not a bad idea to go to see her by himself, let's see what kind of medicine is in that woman's gourd.

Anyway, with my existing abilities, I can't go anywhere.

"I'll leave first, you two continue to patrol."

After explaining to the others, Qishi followed Jingyi to meet her beloved.

She didn't go far, and Beloved was waiting for her in a small shop nearby.

It's not too late now, the small shop is not closed yet, there are many customers inside, there are many wanderers wearing long swords, good and bad are mixed.

Jingyi didn't go in, and after bringing Qishi to him, he narrowed his eyes slightly and guarded the door with his sword in his arms.

"Aren't you coming?"

"There is no reason to sit with the master."

Without forcing, Qishi walked into the store alone.

Seeing Qishi come in, the atmosphere in the shop suddenly froze.

"That outfit, the person from the Shinsengumi?"

"It's still a woman, won't it be the guy who is famous recently?"

"It is said that it is a ruthless evil spirit that beheaded the reformers."

"A lackey of the shogunate?"

The people around kept whispering, and all the words they said were heard in their ears. Her image is really not good now. Although she has never done anything like beheading the reformers at will, all she kills are those who are active in the dark Killer, but gossip can never stop others from saying what they want.

"Asakura! Here."

Xinai sat alone in the corner, occupying a seat. She was drinking wine happily, and the smile on her face was not artificial but genuinely enjoying it.

"Miss Takanomiya, will you be happy drinking this bad wine?"

Qi Shi ignored the gazes of the people around her and sat down on the seat opposite her beloved.

"Happy, although for a while no matter what you drink, you can taste the taste of fine wine, but recently you can drink even plain water like fine wine."

"looking for me."

"It's just a chat, and there are some things that need to be said slowly while avoiding eyes." The reddish face of the beloved seems to have drunk a lot.

"Not only you, I will also find everyone in the Shinsengumi one by one at the right time."

"What's the meaning."

The right time... There was a meeting just now, but you still have to find them one by one?

"It can't be helped, there are no more secrets in the Shinsengumi."

"You mean, there is someone else's eyeliner in the Shinsengumi..."

"Not to mention anything else, just the way you recruit members is rough enough. Even people like me know how to plant spies among the Changzhou Fans. Those who want to harm the Shinsengumi can also think of it. After all, it is such a simple matter, although at this stage, there are not many people who regard your Shinsengumi as a thorn in their side."

My beloved pours wine for Qishi.

"Come, come, Master Asakura is also coming to drink."

"...I don't need it."

"Don't you want to drink? Is it because I'm a woman that I can't drink it, or because I don't think wine tastes good."

"..."

this woman.Unlike the Japanese women of this era, they usually behave in a dignified manner, but sometimes they change their personalities.

Facing everyone in the Shinsengumi today, this person did not have the slightest bit of stage fright or mishandling.

"I said, Asakura, why did you choose something so superficial."

"shallow?"

"In the previous incident, Mr. Sheng Haizhou and I wrote a letter. He said that he met a girl with extraordinary knowledge but short-sightedness. It must be you."

Beloved said

"As for me, I was born in Edo, and grew up under the shelter of my elder brother and parents until the black ship came. Are you also impressed by this incident, Asakura?"

"Ah."

"As for me, my family was wiped out that day. I managed to escape and was taken to the Takanonomiya family under the escort of my seriously injured brother. Because my parents have a close relationship with the Takanonomiya family, the Takanonomiya family agreed to take me in. As an adopted daughter, but I also hide my name and never restore my previous surname. In this regard, I am not as good as you Asakura."

The attack of the black ship represents the doomsday of countless gentry.

"Asakura..." Qishi didn't speak, just sat and watched her beloved and waited for her to finish speaking.

"It's strange, I don't mean to take revenge on the shogunate."

My beloved smiles wryly.

"After the demise of the family, what I thought was, whose fault is this? Is it really the Tokugawa shogunate? I have been thinking about this issue for a long time. I think about it every day, and then I learn something. I used to be It's stupid, and I can't do anything well, but now as long as there is something I want to learn that I can't learn, it's just a matter of how long it takes."

"So, you know how to use a sword now?"

"Just getting started." Lovely smiled.

"Later, I survived some small crises for the Takanomiya family. It was not worth mentioning, but because I was a woman, I gained attention. Later, I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Katsu Kaishu. After talking with the teacher, I probably understood that I have been confused. My question, hehehe, the Tokugawa shogunate is not wrong."

"Indeed, the Tokugawa shogunate is right." Nanami knew this, so neither the death of the Asakura family nor the death of her father gave her the idea of ​​revenge.

Because that's just venting anger.

"What's wrong is that Japan is weak, weak in thinking, weak in technology, weak in economy... only weak will panic, and strong will have leeway."

Is this what a woman should think?

"I ask you, Asakura Nanami, why do you only pick up a sword that is behind the times in your hands!"

"Your thoughts, the environment you live in! You are exposed to guns and artillery, and then you choose the sword."

"Why is your choice so superficial."

The more she talked about her love, the more excited she became, and she lost her smile. She even stood up and stared into Qishi's eyes.

"Sorry, I lost my word."

"You must have other things to ask me, let's talk."

Qishi pretended not to care, and then changed the subject.

"Alas." Pinching the bridge of her nose, she sighed dearly.

"Asakura, have you heard of meeting the group?"

See back to the group, Qishi has heard of this organization.

"It seems to be similar in nature to Shinsengumi."

"Well, let me just say it straight, you are being watched by the Jianhui team."

……

……

After sending Asakura Nanami away, Takanomiya Koai paid the money, and then left the small shop.

"Who are you looking for next?" Jingyi asked the slightly drunk Xinai while supporting her.

"Look for Isamu Kondo, this man is a sensible person, and unlike his appearance, he has a lot of heart."

Jing nodded and walked a long way with Beloved.

"You've never been drunk before."

"Are you drunk?"

love shaking his head

"I just hate that iron can't make steel."
