The Seven Realities of the Rogue

When Qishi and Xinnv both agree to fight with real swords, this battle is no joke.

Isamu Kondo defaulted Nanami as the representative of the Shinsengumi, and Saburo Sasaki also had enough trust in Nobuo Imai.

If you defeat the opponent within seven times and three strokes, it will be the victory of the new group, otherwise you will fall into the disadvantage of returning to the group, which means that the opponent has the ability to wait until the support arrives.

So now, this is a step, which may be beneficial to both parties, and Qishi knows this.

"What I practice is the sword that kills with one strike." The believer said to Qishi, "I won't wait until you have time to make the third move."

In the dojo of the Shinsengumi, everyone was sitting down, and the two in the center had already set up their sword drawing postures and were waiting for the moment to strike.

Very quiet.

Qishi closed her eyes slightly, she had been in the hustle and bustle for a long time, thinking that she hadn't enjoyed such a quiet moment for a long time, she felt a little addicted and made people not want to break the silence.

Takanomiya Kouai thinks that she, Asakura Nanami, can stop everything here.

When I was about to leave the tavern that day, I thought of Katsu Kaishu who had met once, so I curiously asked Takanomiya Kouka some questions.

"In the final analysis, what do you think of this kind of battle."

"Do you think about it? If a short-sighted woman like me is to judge, whether it is the battle between the small Mikai group and the Shinsengumi, or the reformers of the Tokugawa shogunate against the king and barbarians, or between foreigners and Japan Everything that happened was like a joke."

"A joke..." Qishi has no real sense of such a troubled world. What is engraved in her soul is a more vivid era more than 100 years later, so no matter how sad or happy here, even if you have a loved one, respect But she still can't simply accept the existing things, maybe she is still dreaming that she can go back?

"It's a joke. I know what the final outcome is like but I still struggle in vain. I imagine that if I work harder, I can get a beneficial ending for myself, so I start wars again and again... Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign It is estimated that very few people would not be like this.”

"How stupid."

Knowing that there is a flame in front of you, but still jumping forward like moths into the red lotus and then turning into flying ash, I am afraid I can't find other adjectives except stupidity.

"This is human beings... I, Takanomiya Kouai, and you, Asakura Nanami, are both human beings."

No matter what era or dimension we live in, we are all human beings.

The struggle of human beings will always end in the struggle, and no one will sit down and accept the ending that he knew from the beginning until he hits the south wall to the point of bleeding.

Qi Shi stepped forward with his right foot and then stepped forward with his left foot.

"?! Left foot?" Keisuke Shannan couldn't help but uttered aloud. Qishi is in the posture of drawing swords. Why did he step out with his left foot? Everyone present is a swordsman who has been immersed in kendo for many years. It is impossible for him not to know the common sense about drawing swords .

Usually, people who use the knife drawing technique will take a right step instead of a left step in order to prevent their own legs from being injured by the knife.

Also, this is redundant action.

Why did Asakura Nanami make extra moves in such a duel?

As early as the moment Qishi stepped on her right foot, Xinnv had already made a move. She was born with a disadvantage in female strength, so like Qishi, she was a swordsman who relied on speed and agility to win.

Therefore, Qishi's knife is slow.

It is undeniable that the extremely fast Feitian Yujianliu was slowed down by this extra step.

Everyone thinks so.

……

……

"Mr. Takanomiya, where are you going?"

It is not time for Yuxiang to return to the Shinsengumi, so Xinai arranged for Jingyi to temporarily protect her safety.

Now Takano Miyakyo is walking with Kiritaki Yuka on the road leading to the village near Kyoto Castle.

"..."

The man walked in front without saying a word, even though Wuqie Yuxiang was extremely beautiful, he didn't pay much attention to it, just like a stone statue that couldn't speak.

Yuxiang had a rough understanding of this man's personality through getting along with him these days, so she didn't expect to get an answer when she asked.

Regardless of whether the dust on the road would stain her clothes and shoes, Jie Xiang followed Jing Yi closely without taking a step.After walking for a long time, Jingyi finally stopped when she felt the pain in her feet was unbearable.

"Here we are," he said.

The destination is an unremarkable family.

Then Jingyi knocked on the door, and a woman in her 40s came out to open the door. She bowed to Jingyi and said something as if she knew him.

Then when the woman invited Jingyi to sit in the house, she found Yuxiang standing behind him.

"This lady is." The woman was a little dazed when she saw Jie Xiang. She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch her face, but stopped in mid-air and asked Jie Xiang's identity with an awkward smile.

"She is a retainer of Takanonomiya just like me."

"Retainer, I was taken aback. This young lady looks very similar to Qiuzi..."

"Qiuzi?" Jiexiang subconsciously repeated the strange name.

"Yes, that's the name of my deceased daughter. Qiuzi is real, but the girl's family went to Kyoto alone. She has been jumping around like a boy since she was a child, but who would have thought... who would have thought... ..."

As she spoke, she covered her face and knelt down on the ground crying.

"Qiuzi..." Clever as a fragrance, she probably guessed the identity of this mother who cried bitterly because she thought of her lost daughter.

The family of the girl who died for who she should have died was right in front of her eyes.Jiexiang wanted to tell the truth, but the words stopped in her throat and she couldn't come out. Unknowingly, she just tried her best to stabilize her trembling hands and help her up.

Takanomiya Kyoichi's presence today means Love. He came here to convey a message to Akiko's family that the prisoner who killed Akiko had been found, and Takanomiya Koichi would give their family a lot of money as "compensation".

The "prisoner" is Nagato, the man who committed suicide because he didn't want to put his wife and children in crisis, and because he felt guilty about his lord.

During the whole process until she left, Jie Xiang didn't say another word, she didn't even want to look up into the eyes of Qiu Zi's parents and elder brother.

Hearing that the prisoner had been arrested, Qiuzi's family was very happy and grateful.This kind of real emotion is a hundred times sharper than the sharpest knife, and it hurts even the heart of Yuxiang.

It was getting late on the way back.

They still walked, and on the way, Jie Xiang asked Jing Yi.

"At that time, why did you ask me to go out and introduce the people who returned to the group to take the bait?"

"..."

"And why involve others."

"..."

"Do you listen to everything Takanomiya Kouai said?"

There is no questioning or anger in Yuxiang's words. She has long passed the age of being impulsive and emotional. If she didn't understand the things behind these things, she wouldn't be standing here, but knowing some things is one thing. , acceptance is another matter.

"Yeah." Jing nodded, "I obey."

Afterwards, he was the same as when he came, silent as a stone.

……

……

"Oh..." Isamu Kondo sighed.

Asakura Nanami's sword has improved a step further.

Where will this girl go on the road of kendo before she will give up.

"!"

The Broken Blade in his hand seemed to be conveying to the believer the fact that she had already lost. The three moves were not completed, and only the first sword confrontation had already determined the winner.

Asakura Nanami, the girl in front of her cut off the weapon in her hand with a sword so fast that her eyes couldn't catch it.

"What is this?" I don't understand at all...

"Let's fly to Yujian... Probably, I don't know if it counts, because my master never taught me such a move."

Qishi put away the knife, she didn't care about Xinnv and looked directly at Saburo Sasaki and asked.

"Chief Sasaki, can the order to retreat be given?

? ”

"Hahaha...it really is the ghost of the sword, I lost." Sasaki Kesaburo admitted that he had failed.

"President!" Xinnu wanted to say something more, but Saburo Sasaki stopped her with a wave of his hand.

"We lost from beginning to end, Imai-kun."

"...Yes..." No matter how unwilling they are, it is true that as Sasaki said, they lost in the trap of others from the beginning to the end, and they lost completely.

"Kondo, you can intervene in the patrols in Kyoto. You can deal with those people in Changzhou. You can rest assured that the people who come back to the group won't act like backstabbing."

"Sasaki-kun is serious."

This is the result that Isamu Kondo wanted to see.

"Walk."

Sasaki took everyone back, which finally represented the end of this incident.

Under Takanomiya's beloved plan, Shinsengumi's next actions can be justified.

"I believe you are right." Xinai found Qishi, and she was still accompanied by the director general. Because Jingyi was out on business, she borrowed the director general from the Shinsengumi to protect her temporarily, and now it's time to "return it". when.

"That Imai's life experience was very difficult and terrifying, so his swordsmanship has also been honed to a very high level, but you still won."

Lovely is smiling, she really never worried about other variables.

"I regret meeting you now." Qi Shi said.

"You are not such a person worth making friends with as I thought at first." My beloved was also very calm, expressing her thoughts.

"My dear Takano, I have decided on one thing."

"Oh?"

"I will go to you after everything is over." Qi Shi had just decided.

"I might kill you then."

"Kill me..." Xinai squeezed her nose with her hands and looked away from Qishi, "well, let's talk about it then...then, goodbye, I will contact you if there is anything, by the way, tomorrow will be misty Miss, I will let Jingyi bring it back."

Things have been resolved, Takanomiya Koai left the Shinsengumi, her figure disappeared in the corner of the distance when the sky was getting late.

"she left."

"Ah."

"Let's go back too."

"Director..."

"?"

Qi Shi looked up into the eyes of the chief executive.

"Are you acting, when you go to save me?"

"Yeah, isn't that a good deal? Pretend that you were arrested and then I will rescue you and run away together, what?" The chief executive was a little puzzled, why Qishi suddenly asked him this now.

"It's acting... I'm scared to death..." Qi Shi smiled relaxedly as if she had let go of something on her mind.

"At that time, I really almost thought that you liked me, the chief executive, but you were acting. Okay, let's go back, Yuka will come back tomorrow, let's prepare to welcome her, after all, in the Shinsengumi, she is only the same as me. You and I know each other better."

Acting?

The general manager almost wanted to grab Qishi's wrist and hug her.

That feeling was not actually an act, but the dull girl couldn't detect it.
