The Seven Realities of the Rogue

In essence, neither Qishi nor Yuxiang are people who can spend the festival happily with a smile on their faces. They exist in two different styles, but they are not very good at words, which is unexpectedly similar.

In other words, it's not that Yuxiang is not good at words, but she feels that she doesn't need to talk too much when facing Qishi, and only when facing Qishi, she doesn't have to use the trick she used to deal with outsiders when she was a wandering girl.

Even if she doesn't say anything, she can probably understand and understand.

The so-called trust gradually appeared unknowingly during this year.

"Tired?"

Qishi asked Yuxiang, they walked a long way with the mikoshi of the festival, Qishi has strong feet and naturally doesn't care about this distance, but she is worried whether Jiexiang can keep up or whether she is tired.

"You never asked me that way on the way to Nagasaki before."

"Ah."

"But even though you didn't say anything, Qishi, you still stood up and protected everyone."

"I don't want to protect everyone."

The laughing child didn't look at the cry, and bumped his head on Qishi's leg. Qishi squatted down and rubbed the child's head, then responded to the child's parents' apology, and just squatted for a while before getting up and patting Clothes organize it.

"For me, no matter how hard I try, I can't do my best for someone I don't know."

Unlike the master and Jianxin, Qishi cannot draw a sword for a stranger who has not shown tenderness to herself, but if the other party has given her warmth, she can no longer remain silent.

"Think about it carefully, this kind of personality should be changed."

"Qishi, you are really gentle." Jiexiang sighed, "There is no need to deliberately change, because Qishi is like this no matter when she was a child or when she grew up. I think no matter how I change, Qishi will keep this in the future Be gentle."

The two chatted about irrelevant topics.

"So, it's very painful." Yuxiang knew that it was always easy to wake up from nightmares in Qishi night recently.

"Because you don't know how to save strangers, and you also don't have the courage to kill strangers."

she said slowly

"Qi Shi, why did you draw your sword?"

"..." The reason for drawing the sword.The attitude she had towards Seijuro Hiko who appeared in front of her that day, the feeling she had, was a yearning for strength.

"I want to live."

"Really, live on, so why do you want to learn swordsmanship and become so powerful?"

Jie Xiang said, "Look, a miserable person like me can live a good life, as long as I don't want to end my own life."

"Learning swords has nothing to do with living." Is it an illusion?Qishi seemed to feel that Yuxiang was forcing herself to do something, as if she was holding her neck with her hands to put pressure on herself.

Allow yourself to recall things that you don't want to admit.

"Without ostentation, without characteristics, ordinary people who do their job have more chances to survive than samurai adults, and wandering rogues."

You, learning the sword, do not place yourself on the cusp of the storm.

"Qishi, what are you thinking in your heart, and how have you been doing it all this time?"

The father whose head was beheaded, the mother who was engulfed in flames, Xia, Ying, and Qian who died persecuted by human traffickers, Qinghe who was shot to death by Yuxiang...

Many, many.

The man who smiled at himself died.

"Maybe, if I don't learn swords but learn medicine from my grandfather who lived at that time, my life will be much more stable now."

But in that case, I would not have the ability to stand in front of others.

"Do you regret it?"

"No." Qi Shi may understand her thoughts at that time.

When Hayato died, she hoped so much, really hoped that she could still wash clothes and make breakfast for her father when she woke up tomorrow morning.

What's the use of hatred.

"I found out that I'm very greedy."

"?"

I don't want to live alone. In this era, I am already lost and lonely, and I cherish those I love and respect.

"Jiangxiang, I will protect you."

"Hey, why did you say this all of a sudden." Facing Qi Shi's sudden and solemn words, Jie Xiang was also a little at a loss.

"No matter where you are or what happened, as long as you are in danger, I will come to save you."

Her Flying Sword Style is not a sword of salvation, but the strongest shield that can protect those around her.

"... Huh, then I will thank you in advance."

That's the end of the conversation, and the night of the garden festival is still long.

……

……

After the festival, send Yuxiang back to rest, Qishi went to find Isamu Kondo alone.

She wanted to express her opinion on something, and although it was late, she knew that the man was not someone who would sleep at this hour.It's okay to look rough on the outside, but in essence, he is a workaholic who is on par with Hijikata Suisan, and his mind is terrifyingly meticulous.

He obviously has the appearance of an idiot in the manga, but the inside is completely different.

"call."

Knocked on the door, and after getting Isamu Kondo's consent, Nanami pushed the door and entered.

"I always feel that every time you come to my place, I will have a bad premonition."

Isamu Kondo was still browsing the copywriting and did not look up at Nanami.

"This time, why?"

"I want to resign from the patrol duty."

"..." Isamu Kondo paused and said, "That's your only job."

"Please be sure to agree." Qishi's attitude was extremely firm.

"Phew... it's time to get motivated."

"..."

"Okay, I agree to your request." Kondo sighed, "Then, tell me what else you have in mind."

"I will do my best to help the Shinsengumi solve the incident related to the Changzhou Abbess, but please leave it to me alone to deal with the executioner's drawing of the sword."

"Executioner Draw Dao Zhai...that's quite a headache role."

"I can make him less of a threat."

Isamu Kondo felt that Nanami Asakura seemed a little different today, as if someone who had been groping forward in the fog saw the fluorescence.

"Okay, I promise you."

"at last……"

Nanami was sitting down in front of Kondo, bowing her head deeply.

"Everything is fine, please let Yuka and I leave the Shinsengumi."

It was unexpected to say this.

"Although you are begging me, you don't seem to be begging at all."

Qi Shi did not speak, and kept his posture motionless.

"Well, I can't keep you. I knew from the first day you came to Kyoto that I couldn't keep you."

"Thank you."

Kondo meant yes.

"However, while you are still in the Shinsengumi, please do your part, and I will no longer turn a blind eye as before. Now you are a wolf of Mibu."

Qishi raised her head and stood up.

"That's natural," she said
