For the students studying in the dojo, there is no need to go to those cherry blossom forests to enjoy the cherry blossoms in April every year, just looking at the cherry blossom trees in the dojo has the same meaning.

Cherry blossoms, even in a short life, have an unusually moving beauty. They will give up everything in that short life, blooming a beauty that can be remembered and missed by everyone.

The same is true of the samurai. In the brief moment of being a human being, carrying out the samurai's beliefs, walking on the path he firmly believes in, dedicating everything to the sword in his hand and the righteousness in his heart, is a life as short as a cherry blossom. , that is also a beauty that cannot be ignored.

This is a passage spoken by the master of the natural mental flow dojo and also the teacher of the students when he was teaching them.

Such esoteric words are not well understood by young students.However, everyone has the beauty of cherry blossoms and the expectation of becoming a samurai in their hearts.

And just like this, in April as usual, when the cherry blossoms are blooming, a young man did not work hard to practice kendo like other students in the dojo, but leaned leisurely on the trunk of the cherry tree, watching tree with sakura.

"Yan Zhai, you're being lazy again!"

The girl with hair the same color as the cherry blossoms ran under the cherry blossom tree, looked at the dazed boy leaning on the tree trunk and made a critical voice.

The girl's name is Souji Okita, and she came to the natural Rishin-ryu dojo to study two years ago, at the age of nine, and became the inner disciple of the owner Kondo Shusuke.

And the boy who was called Yan Zhai by Okita Souji came to the Natural Rixinliu Dojo a year later than Okita Souji, a boy who was two years older than Okita Souji.

Although he has a talent for swordsmanship that can be said to be a genius, but because he has learned other schools of swordsmanship before, even though he was accepted by the natural Lixin flow, he was not taught as an inner disciple.

"It's not that I'm lazy, anyway, I'm just an ordinary disciple. I won't be taught any swordsmanship at all, but I'm only allowed to watch you study and train, so it's okay if I can't do anything, right?"

Kawagami Hikosai curled his lips, motioned Okita Souji to look at Shusuke Kondo who was in the dojo, even if he noticed him, he didn't pay any attention to him, and then laughed.

"It's 'A Hua' you, why did you come to me if you didn't train hard?"

"It's not that I don't train, it's just that I have completed the training program, so I can rest early."

"And don't think I don't know. The reason Kondo-sensei didn't accept you as his disciple is that even if you just watch other people use swordsmanship, you can learn it without being taught by others."

"However, even if this is the case, Kondo-sensei also said that the foundation is the most important thing in the way of swordsmanship. There is no way you can become a powerful samurai like this!"

"It's okay, if there is no way to become a powerful warrior, wouldn't it be good to let 'Ah Hua' protect me from now on?"

Kawagami Yansai smiled indifferently, he didn't have the idea of ​​becoming a samurai and getting ahead like others.The reason why he learned kendo was because he had such a talent, but it didn't mean that he wanted to become a samurai and then serve the shogunate.

However, his thinking is obviously unreasonable to other people, so Kawagami Hikosai has no intention of talking about it with other people.

"Hmph, if you need to be protected by a girl, Yan Zhai, you will be laughed at by others!"

"Also, how many times have I said it, it's the general manager, Okita general manager! My name is not 'A Hua'!"

Instead of rejecting Kawagami Hikosai's claim that she will protect her in the future, Mr. Okita brought up the fact that Kawagami Hikosai always called himself by the wrong name.

And her red face that looks very cute with her cherry pink hair, I don't know if it is caused by anger at being called by the wrong name.

"Don't say that, don't you see that your hair is very similar to the color of cherry blossoms? Cherry blossoms are beautiful, and you are also beautiful, so to me, you are like cherry blossoms."

"In this case, isn't it appropriate to call you 'A Hua'?"

Kawagami Hikosai closed one eye, and looked at Souji Okita standing in front of him with a smile on his only left eye.

"Besides, other people either call you Okita or Chief Director. If only I call you 'Ahua', isn't it like an exclusive title?"

"Well……"

Hearing Kawagami Yansai's sophistry and love words, the blush on Okita's face became deeper, but she still held back the thought of running away immediately, and after taking a deep breath, she felt a little displeased. He looked at Kawagami Yanzhai in admiration.

"If that's the case, then I won't call you Yan Zhai anymore, I'll just call you 'A Shui'!"

"……'A water'?"

Kawagami Hikosai tilted his head strangely.

"Why do you call me that?"

"Because the surname 'Heshang' in your name, if you look at the first character alone, it means 'river' or 'flowing water', right?"

"In that case, as revenge for not calling me by my name properly, I won't call you by my name in the future!"

"As long as you still call me 'A Hua', then I will call you 'A Shui'!"

"Hmm... can my name still be understood in this way?"

Kawagami Hikosai muttered the word 'A Shui' a little strangely, and then, as if he had figured it out, he looked at Souji Okita in front of him with a smile.

"Then you can call me 'Ah Shui', flowers and water... don't they sound quite appropriate~"

Saying this, Kawagami Hikosai stretched his waist vigorously, then pointed to the direction of the dojo behind Souji Okita and said: "Then, 'Ahua', you should go back quickly, even if it is a rest, it can't be too long , otherwise Kondo-sensei will be angry~"

"Besides, I'm also waiting for you, 'Ah Hua', to protect me when you become a powerful warrior~"

Okita Souji turned his head and looked in the direction of the dojo, where Kondo Shusuke really put on a straight face.She ran back to the dojo in a hurry, while Kawagami Yansai smiled and continued to lean on the cherry tree in a daze.

The boy and the girl made an agreement here that could never be reached.

Chapter 305 That Must Be Painful

In a trance, Subaru seemed to be standing in the position of a bystander and saw the intersection and story of the boy and the girl when they were young, but at the same time, it seemed that he was the boy, leaning against the trunk of the cherry tree, and he had a good impression of him girls chatting.

Kawagami Yansai, Okita Souji...they are all well-known figures with names and surnames in history.

One is the guardian of the shogunate, as the most famous talented swordsman of the Shinsengumi, the talented girl who died of illness in the end.

The two should have no intersection, but they are hostile to each other, but in this scene that seems to be hallucinatory and imaginary, the two are childhood sweethearts who came from the same school and lived together since childhood.

So why did the two take completely opposite paths?

Desperately wanting to get closer to the cherry blossom tree, when Subaru took the first step, he suddenly realized that everything around him had changed again.

It is no longer a dojo of natural spiritual flow, and there is no such beautiful cherry tree.

The grown-up Okita Souji lay pale in front of him, and the blade in his hand was aimed at Okita Souji's snow-white neck.

"动かねば暗にへだつや, flower to water..."

Okita Souji softly recited the death poem that was widely circulated in later generations, and the blade in his hand pierced her snow-white neck without hesitation.

Subaru realized that this was the sad dream he had forgotten last night.And he also realized that in his dream, the man who killed Okita Souji with his own hands was the Kawagami Hikosai whom Okita Souji later called 'A Shui'.

Okita Souji died, not as recorded, he died of illness.Instead, he died at the hands of the person he loved the most, but was drifting away from him.

And Kawagami Hikosai...

And he...

"Pleiades……"

"Pleiades--!"

"Don't scare me, Subaru!!"

Ruri's flustered voice rang in his ears, which woke Subaru up from the unreasonable hallucinations that made people immerse himself.

Only at this time did he realize that Liuli, Chitose, and the place where the cherry blossom trees existed in his 'illusion' came over and surrounded him.

"What, what's wrong?"

"What's the matter, aren't you crying again!?"

Ruri looked at Subaru worriedly, there were tears all over his face, such sudden tears for no reason even made Chitose jump when he saw him for the first time, still wondering if he did something wrong matter.

And even Liuli, who had already seen it once, still couldn't avoid worrying at this moment.

"Are you crying again...me?"

Subconsciously, Subaru wiped away the tears from his cheeks and the corners of his eyes, seeing that Ruri and Chitose were still looking at him worriedly, and that although Xiao Si didn't say anything, he was still holding onto the corner of his clothes tightly.

Although it wasn't like when he was sleeping before, although he was still puzzled about why he saw such a 'hallucination', but in order to avoid making everyone continue to worry, he still didn't say what happened just now.

"It's just that when Xiao Si was standing there just now, he felt that Xiao Si was really beautiful, so he was naturally dumbfounded..."

"This, it should be moved tears."

Subaru came up with an excuse in a hurry, although it seemed a little unrealistic and a little too hypocritical, but he really didn't have any good reason to explain why he was crying for no reason.

However, even he himself couldn't understand what happened just now.

Why do you see such a scene like Okita Souji's past?Why did I feel for a moment that I was that Kawagami Yansai?Why would you kill your favorite woman with your own hands?

It would be too real to say it was a hallucination. If it was a memory, he and Souji Okita were not from the same era at all.But when it comes to past lives...

Could there really be such a coincidence?

Not to mention that he already knew that his two previous lives did not live in this world, one was Fuma Kotaro, and the other was Akigase.

Even if he really had a life that was the same as the present and existed in this world, is it really possible to remind him of the so-called 'memories of previous lives' so easily?

In less than half a year, I have discovered my so-called past life one after another. Is it really possible for such a coincidence to exist?

Subaru had no way to be sure, even though he was very concerned about this matter, he didn't want to make the people around him worry about him because of this matter.

So, before he really figured out what was going on, he didn't want to talk about it with Liuli and Xiao Si.

"I can only say that Xiao Si is too cute. Because I thought of being able to be with such a cute Xiao Si, I was so moved that I couldn't help myself."

"……husband."

Xiao Si didn't blush shyly because of Subaru's love words, but let go of Subaru's hand, and instead put his hand into Subaru's palm, holding Subaru's left hand tightly.

As for what Subaru said, Chitose voiced some doubts.

"Ha, what are you talking about because my sister is so cute...Although I also think my sister is very cute, but you—"

"Ah, it's really enviable, the relationship between the two of you~"

Before Chitose finished speaking, Liuli interrupted her, and secretly reached out and tugged at Chitose's clothes to make her shut up.

Although Chitose looks like a young lady, she actually doesn't have the temper of a young lady.Seeing how serious her sister's friend was, she kept her mouth shut even though she was a little unhappy.

"You actually shed tears of joy because of Xiao Si's cuteness, why don't you guys hurry up and get married in place!"

"No, you are already married... Ah, I'm already full before eating."

Liu Lilu complained to Subaru and Xiao Si with a look of "Go to hell now", but in a place where the two of them couldn't see, the little hand that was stretched out did clenched tightly into a fist.

She didn't believe what Subaru said at all.

It wasn't questioning Subaru's feelings for Xiao Si, as if Xiao Si, who was always shy when facing Subaru's love words, didn't even blush, none of the few people present would believe what Subaru said.

Because, how can someone show a sad expression when they are filled with joy and touch?

That must be a very painful thing, right...
