The Seven Realities of the Rogue

ps: Ah, so tired ￣へ￣

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

Bone-deep fatigue.I was so tired that I didn't even have the energy to use my brain to think about what I had done.

so tired.

Qishi sighed.

Although I have always lacked motivation from the beginning, this kind of fatigue is the first time in my life.

She stood at the bifurcation of the choice, choosing whether to continue holding the sword,

……

……

So, if I had a knife in my hand...you would have killed me too?

"..."

Kenshin sat on the window sill and looked at the things outside the window, the high sky, the passers-by and vendors walking on the street in front of the hotel, and the ronin warriors with swords. He was purely in a daze. but something else.

It has been a while since Yukidaiba lived in Xiaogiya, and occasionally Kenshin would think of the question he asked him, but he himself still couldn't give a clear answer.

He is now a murderous executioner.

Benxin's orientation has not changed, but Jianxin feels that he is getting farther and farther away from the kind of person he hopes to be.

The door was pushed open, and Ba walked into the room. Compared with when she first came, she was dressed for work, but Ba never said any complaints. Her pretty face seemed to be invisible except " Any expression other than deadpan.

The ancient well has no waves.

She is still a young woman, but she has the same atmosphere as an old man.

Full sense of violation.

"I want to clean, please go out for a while." Then he "ordered" Kenshin without authorization, as if this room belonged to her.

"I don't think it needs to be cleaned."

Jian Xin said so on the lips, but he still went out honestly to make room for Ba.Before he knew it, he had gotten used to this kind of thing.

"The proprietress asked me to clean it."

Passing by the desk, Jian Xin saw the notepad on the desk, he hardly used to write, and he definitely wouldn't need such a thick notepad.

"That's my diary, please don't peek."

Who would go to see it... Jian Xin raised his forehead speechlessly, but he even started to write a diary, this woman is really planning to live forever.

"in case."

Then, as if piercing through Jian Xin's thoughts, Ba added this sentence.

Jian Xin had no choice but to back away quickly with a bitter face.

Not long after going out, I met Iizuka.

"Yo, what's the matter, Kenshin, he's depressed."

"Mr. Iizuka?"

"Could it be that you quarreled with Abba again?"

Well, hearing the other party make fun of himself like this, Kenshin almost couldn't restrain his desire to draw his sword again.

"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore." Iizuka put away his always playful and unscrupulous face and took out the black letterhead from his pocket.

Seeing this, Kenshin's expression also became serious.

"Tonight, I still count on you."

……

……

The desperate samurai gave up the idea of ​​continuing to run for his life. His guards had all died in the hands of that person, and what he was facing now was just a dead end, and he would never run away.

The red-haired executioner walked towards him step by step, without haste,

The samurai chose to draw his sword.

Then, the moment his fingers rested on the handle of the knife, the god of death suddenly stood in front of him.

Flying Heavenly Sword Flow—Dragon Nest Flash. Bite.

In an instant, the samurai was hacked to death with random knives, without any suspense.During the murderous fight, Jianxin comprehended Feitian Yujianliu's changing moves, and what he is now controlling is the fierce blade that deserves to kill people.

Another bloody night.

Jian Xin didn't waver, and kept repeating the mission of Heavenly Punishment.

When he returned to Xiaogiya that night, he went to the water fetching place as usual, and then fetched water to wash his hands.

When Ba Xun came over, she stood at the door and looked at Jian Xin. After a long time, she didn't speak until it seemed that Jian Xin was about to wear off the skin on his hands.

"Are you going to kill endlessly like this?"

Kenshin didn't answer.

Of course, Ba did not expect to get an answer from Kenshin.

So the night passed.

"Also, her mannerisms, her dealings with people, her living habits, and even the dishes she cooks don't look like a Kyoto native."

Wearing a straw hat, Iizuka reported to Kogoro Katsura what he had investigated about Xuedaiba outside a fruit shop. Of course, the information obtained from these investigations was just lies provided to him by Takanomiya.

"Judging from some writing details and reading habits, it doesn't look like she was born as a rough person. Preliminary inference may be a girl from a Kanto martial arts family."

Iizuka pretended to be absent-mindedly eating his snacks, but secretly observed Katsura Kogoro's expression.

"She has no trace of contact with the outside world at all."

After a short pause, he said again, "I feel that it is unlikely that Xuedaiba is a spy from the outside world."

Katsura Kogoro shook his head

"Don't make a conclusion so early, although according to your investigation, she is indeed unlikely to be a spy."

"Well, a kitten that ran away from home."

"I want to know her influence on Feicun." He asked

"Influence, I can't say it, but..." Iizuka looked up at the sky as if thinking.

"but?"

"According to those who examined the body, the incision of the fallen sword had recently become dull."

……

……

Ba stayed alone in Jianxin's room. She was mending clothes, but Jianxin was still not here tonight.

"I'm sorry it's so late, may I bother you?"

Gui Xiaowulang actually found her.

"If you're looking for Mr. Feicun, he's out tonight." Ba just glanced at the unknown man before continuing to do his work, and replied indifferently.

"I know, I am his chief." Gui nodded, and then said, "I arranged all his work."

Hearing this sentence, he paused, and finally he was willing to look directly at him.

After preparing the tea, the two sat down facing each other, and Gui also started chatting with her.

"【crazy】?"

"When we were young, my friends and comrades were fortunate to be taught by [Matsushita Village School]'s mentor, and we benefited a lot." Gui talked about the past, "Mr. Yoshida Shoin, who was executed in the Ansei prison incident, once taught us... "

To break the era of madness at the end of the Tokugawa 300 years, I just want to establish a new era and achieve great things. We probably have to become crazier than our enemies.

"It is the highest justice not to hesitate to endure madness, and that is probably the driving force behind today's Changzhou faction."

When talking about this, Gui's expression was a bit ferocious, Ba knew that the man in front of him was probably not joking with her.

"And Feicun, that crazy vanguard, undertakes the most cruel and severe tasks."

"So what." She didn't seem to be moved by it. "What do you want me to do by telling me this?"

Gui put on a smile again and sighed softly, "Excuse me, that's not what I meant." After speaking, he leaned forward and opened the door to leave the room.

Ba's gaze followed Gui, and she didn't go to the table and sit down until she confirmed that the other party had indeed left. She took out a pen and a notepad and began to write something on it.

The next day, Ba started doing chores early.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's come here today."

The proprietress likes Ba such an obedient, well-behaved and diligent girl. Every day she sees her with a smile on her face. I don’t know how much she likes her. After the assigned tasks are finished, she will not make things difficult for her. She always asks her to go back early rest.

"Yes." Ba said goodbye to the proprietress, changed his clothes and went back to the room, where Jianxin was still sleeping.

Holding the sword in his arms, he fell asleep peacefully.

"Crazy...?"

Ba thought of what Gui had said to her.

However, just looking at his sleeping appearance, he is nothing more than a young man who has not been crowned.

Thinking of this, she picked up the quilt and walked slowly to Jianxin's side to cover him, but before she could do that, Jianxin in his sleep suddenly woke up his body and made him quickly pull out his sword and move towards him. He slashed at Ba's exposed neck.

From a boy to Shura.

Feeling the cold touch on her neck, Xuedaiba finally showed her shock, she was so close to death, her whole body became stiff and unable to move.

"Ahem!" Pushing away suddenly, Jianxin retreated to the corner of the wall and sat down limply.

Seeing Jian Xin like this, for some reason, Ba was no longer afraid.

"sorry."

He says

"I once boasted that I wouldn't kill ordinary people, but now...you go away! Otherwise, I will put you..."

Jian Xin felt cold all over, he couldn't imagine the scene after he swung his sword just now.

Is it bloody?

Ba didn't back away anymore, she covered Kenshin with a quilt and stood up slowly.

"I will still live here temporarily, you can't be alone now."

Jian Xin firmly grasped the quilt and kept it in the palm of his hand.Ba won't go, which seems to make him feel relieved, as if he was supported by something.

"You once asked me if I would kill you if you had a knife."

"The answer is, I won't."

Kenshin finally answered.

Ba stood there looking at Jian Xin, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"No matter what happens, I will not kill you." There was no lie in his words at this time.

"Only you, I definitely won't."

Ba had come for revenge, but now she found herself unable to do so.

After getting such an answer, she couldn't do anything.
