[Comprehensive + Sword Dance] Warm Wind Story

Chiba Kazama's departure was very sudden, but unexpected and not unexpected.

At least when Chizuru heard Kazama Chikage say, "Senba won't be back in a short time", Chizuru had the idea of ​​"as expected" strangely in his heart.

Chizuru told Chikage Kazama what she said to Chiba again. She was determined to fight to the end, but to her own surprise, after hearing her decision, Chikage Kazama expressed that she did not want her to Continued to be in a dangerous state, but still respected her choice.

In this way, they began to look at the future of Shinsengumi together.

Not long after Chiba left, Chizuru finally met the person she had been looking for on the battlefield—her father, Tsunamichi Yukimura.

At that time, it was a critical period for the Shinsengumi to fight against people. Chizuru saw with his own eyes that Tsunamichi led his newly created Rakshasa Army and repelled the members of the Shinsengumi one by one.

But she didn't have time to say anything to Tsunado, and left because of Shinsengumi's defeat.

Unable to resist the Shinsengumi of the Rakshasa Army, Mr. Kondo finally ordered to retreat unwillingly. It was on the way to retreat that Chizuru met his elder brother Kaoru Nagumo.

"Chizuru, leave the Shinsengumi with me."

When Chizuru heard Nagumo Kaoru say this to her, he shook his head slowly but firmly.But Kaoru Nanyun didn't care about Chizuru's decision, and was going to grab someone directly from the Shinsengumi.

"That's not allowed." The one who blocked him was Souji Okita who accompanied Chizuru. "Although you have some relationship with Xiaoqianbo, you can't hurt Qianzuru."

"Oh, that guy—"

Hearing Qianbo's name from their mouths gave Qianhe a strange premonition, but that feeling passed away in a flash and was finally replaced by nervousness.

Director Okita stopped Kaoru Nagumo. Unlike Fujido and others, Director General Okita's Rakshasa transformation was more stable. At least he was able to handle Kaoru Nagumo with ease. He didn't show fatigue until Chikage Kazama came. state.

"Little devil from the Nanyun family, this guy—Yukimura Chizuru is a ghost I recognize, so don't try to snatch it away." The arrival of Chikage Kazama made Nanyun Xun a little more vigilant, but he didn't leave, and It's just watching from a distance.

Chikage Kazama saw that he didn't do anything anymore and put away his weapon, as if he had sensed something, he turned his gaze to Okita Souji, and immediately understood what Qianba was doing from his state, "Chiba actually used his own blood— -laugh."

"They are brothers and sisters, but their personalities are so different." Nan Yunxun heard Chikage Kazama address him with a moment of ruthlessness, but Chikage Kazama's appearance reminded him of Chikage Kazama who resembled him a little bit, so he couldn't help but Mumbling so much over his head.

But at the next moment, he raised his voice and said, "Why don't you see the eldest lady of the Kazama family? Isn't she like Qianzuru, who always likes to be with weak humans?"

"The matter of the Kazama family has nothing to do with you." Chikage Kazama, who was arrogantly contemptuous of others just now, now has a somewhat dangerous expression, "Chinami Kazama—oh, for fooling me, I will settle with her sooner or later .”

Not knowing what he learned from Chikage Kazama's words, Kaoru Nagumo opened his eyes slightly, then glanced at Chizuru who seemed to know the truth, and finally chose to retreat.

Chikage Kazama only came here for Chizuru's safety, but this time she didn't conflict with Shinsengumi.

Others may think that it is because of Chikage Kazama's unpredictable temperament, but Chizuru knows that the root reason why he doesn't care about Shinsengumi now is because of the letter sent to him by the departed Chikage.

As Chiba said before leaving, "Times change", and the existence of Shinsengumi has become "dispensable".

The change of the times made Mr. Hijikata very confused, but once a war broke out, Mr. Hijikata—or all the members of the Shinsengumi, became firm again.

The times are evolving, and the Shinsengumi no matter how hard they try, eventually disappears in the long river of time.

As a ghost, Chizuru witnessed the demise of the Shinsengumi as she said.

The departure of Nagakura and Harada, the beheading of Mr. Kondo, the death of Mr. Okita from a terminal illness, the exhaustion of Mr. Todo and Mr. Yamanan, the disappearance of Mr. Saito, and... Mr. Hijikata died in the battle with Chikage decisive battle.

Even Tsunamichi Yukimura, who never gave up provoking war to create a Rakshasa, finally died under the knife of the new Rakshasa he made in order to protect Chizuru.

It was obvious that he had no intention of confronting Mr. Hijikata, but the two looked at each other for a while, and Chikage Kazama agreed to the duel with Hijikata.

Chizuru naturally witnessed that duel.

Chikage Kazama who turned into a ghost and Toshizo Hijikata who turned into a Rakshasa, the dangerous and beautiful duel between the two under Sakura left Chizuru stunned for a while.

When she came back to her senses, Chikage Kazama had already won.

Kazama Chikage didn't kill him, but Hijikata Toshizo died in the end-it was Rakshasa that exhausted his life.

"You will drift away in a hurry, like dying cherry blossoms." Chikage Kazama naturally noticed the loss of his vitality, and the moment before Hijikata closed his eyes, he said with a sense of realization, "'Raksha', this fake Your name is no longer commensurate with you, and as a token of respect, I give you the name of a ghost——Hakuoki."

Hakuouki.

Like cherry blossoms, they are fleeting and gorgeous.

This is probably Chikage Kazama's highest evaluation of human beings.

>>

War, peace, and war, peace again—that's probably how human beings exist, forever repeating the past, and always surpassing the past.

Time flies, time flies.

Many people and things have become the past, and a new era is always coming.

High-rise buildings, modern technology, and many other things have become the norm in this world.

There is a martial arts gym in a certain corner of the city, and the people in it only teach one thing-swordsmanship.

It was supposed to be a technology that was eliminated by the times, but now it has risen again due to various complicated reasons.

There are usually no people in this martial arts gym, but everyone who lives in this city knows that several "teachers" here have mastered almost lost techniques, and they are sword masters who are valued by the country and certain organizations.

"I didn't expect it to be really you."

Martial arts gyms that are rarely open to the outside world welcomed a special guest today.

"Oh, I didn't expect that people other than... would be the first to see you."

The man in the house who responded to the guest's words had flaxen hair. He was wiping the knife in his hand when he heard the voice. The next moment, his emerald green eyes looked at the speaker. There was a surprise in his eyes, and there was an unknown expression in his eyes. disappointment.

"Obviously they have the same face, but seeing Qianzuru makes me happier."

"Heh. What are you? Undead? Or..."

"Of course it's a real human being."

Even though they were hostile decades ago, they are now able to talk peacefully under the same roof, which makes them feel unreal and unreal.

"Although it is my wish to die in battle, I still have some regrets, right?" Putting the knife back into its sheath, the man smiled nostalgicly, "Time is really a scary thing."

He suddenly sighed with emotion, but his voice was open-minded like relief. "However, what I didn't say at the beginning, now... I should be able to say it properly."

"Tsk, even you...Qianhe too, back then...you didn't leave me a..." Because of the other party's cryptic words, the "ghost" who hid his identity and sneaked into the martial arts gym thought of an old friend, and couldn't help gnashing his teeth in a low voice. talking.

"Sure enough, is your 'resurrection' related to that guy..."

"Who knows?"

When the man heard him mention that person, he just smiled inexplicably and ignored him.

>>

I don't know how many years have passed, Qianhe vaguely knows that human society has undergone tremendous changes.

A secluded place away from the city is Chizuru's new residence.

The wind passed through the window lattice, blowing away the few letters in Qianhe's hand, but fortunately, she is no longer the self who knew nothing at the beginning. Letters flew around.

"Pack up and get ready to go to Yokohama."

Along with the wind came Qianhe's familiar voice.

"Eh? Why did you suddenly say you want to go out?"

Chizuru turned her head and saw a blond man wearing a black gold-rimmed kimono, Chikage Kazama.

"Nayun Kaoru found something interesting in Yokohama, so I decided to take a look." Chikage Kazama didn't seem to have changed from many years ago, but Chizuru knew that he had changed.

"Don't call him that in front of your brother."

Qianhe sighed, knowing how much disagreement there was between her brother and him, one persistently wanted to take her away, and the other would insinuate the other's hated surname when they met.

At this time, Qianzuru thought that it would be great if Qianba was still there.

"But it's really strange, something that Chikage finds interesting."

In all these years, except for a few members of the Shinsengumi, Chizuru has not seen Chikage Kazama being interested in any human beings.

Chikage Kazama and Chizuru left human society when the Shinsengumi was destroyed and the human war was about to end, and found a new place to live in seclusion.

Although not completely out of touch with the world, they have not meddled with human affairs for many years.

During this period, Qianhe and Qianji did not completely lose contact, and even Qianji's house was not far from the new residence of the Kazama family, so she could go to her whenever she wanted—but every time she went to Qianji, Qianjing always had something to do. A feeling of sulking.

As for Nan Yunxun?

After Tsunamichi died and the Nanyun family could no longer restrain him, Kaoru Nanyun regained his freedom, but his whereabouts were uncertain.But after learning that his younger sister decided to marry the Kazama family, Kaoru Nagumo appeared at the wedding scene in despair—unfortunately, he was overthrown by Chikage Kazama with absolute strength, and he couldn't stop his younger sister from marrying.

"Ah, some old acquaintances." Chikage Kazama didn't give a damn. He glanced at the letter Qianzuru was pressing, and sneered for some reason, but the next second he took off his coat and put it on Touching Qianzuru, "—Suppose, you still remember those people from the Shinsengumi?"

"Of course, I remembered it well." Qianzuru blushed because of his actions, but she didn't shirk to wrap her coat tighter.Since Kazama Chikage entered the room, the door and windows were open, and the wind flowing from both sides really made her feel a bit cool.

"Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?"

Of course Chizuru remembered the past well, but she didn't understand how Chikage Kazama, who was never nostalgic, would mention this now.

"Ah—because Nagumo said that he met them in Yokohama."

"how come!"

Qianhe's first reaction was that she couldn't believe it, but her own race was an existence that she couldn't believe before, so her tone became more hesitant the next moment, "People who become Rakshasa will eventually turn into ashes... I have seen it with my own eyes, I have witnessed it.”

As if knowing what she was hesitating about, Chikage Kazama showed a little interest on her face, "It's not people who look like them, nor are they trying to imitate—it's them themselves."

"-Brother has been in contact with it?" Because Chikage Kazama said with certainty, Chizuru didn't think there would be a problem for a while.

Chikage Kazama didn't speak, but Chizuru, who was already familiar with his expression, knew that he acquiesced.

"Instead of being suspicious, it's better to meet them directly." The abolition of swords has been implemented long ago, and people nowadays will no longer be equipped with weapons such as swords, but Chikage Kazama still brought his sword, and a little trick can be enough Let humans ignore it, "I have a hunch."

"what?"

"The appearance of those people is the reason for Qianbo."

Hearing this, Chizuru subconsciously got up and left the house following Chikage Kazama's pace.

As she let go, the full picture of the letter in her hand was also revealed—it was a letter from Qianba to Chikage Kazama many years ago, before everything was over.

The content is not much, but it tells Chikage Kazama some unreasonable facts—for example, Chikage Kazama is not the original Chikage Kazama, and the cowardly young lady who used to be did not transform, but disappeared completely.The "Kazama Chiba" left behind is the soul of another world named Matsumoto Kiyokazu.

When he saw this at first, Chikage Kazama thought it was Chiba's other kind of prank, but at the end, he somehow believed these words.

When the voice claiming to be "the system" appeared and confirmed some guesses, Chikage Kazama's first reaction was indeed anger as Qianbo thought.

"Even though Chiba isn't Chikage's original younger sister, but—"

"Don't be joking." Faced with Qianzuru not knowing how to explain to Qianba, Chikage Kazama narrowed her eyes, and a rare complex and angry emotion emerged in her heart, "From the beginning, the Chikage Kazama I admired was she."

That's not the annoyance of being fooled.

What made him angry was that Chiba Kazama underestimated his vision too much.

In the final analysis, Chikage Kazama would believe Qianba's words, or he himself had realized something long ago.

The Kazama Chikage who had been ignored by him and had almost no interaction with him suddenly became pleasing to the eye—how could such a change be accepted by Kazama Chikage for granted?

Not to mention the ability of mind-reading ghosts she showed, which is a power that the pure-blooded young lady did not possess.

He will show a thoughtful expression to please him, will try to make himself stronger to keep up with his pace, and even let the Kazama family predict the risks in advance, and Chiba Kazama who has been with him for decades-I don’t believe that I will accept "Matsumoto" Qinghe" this soul?

How annoying this is.

But no matter how angry he was with Qianbo's sudden departure, he and Qianhe couldn't find her anymore.

But as the system said, they will meet again someday, as long as they still want to see her.

"caught you."

With the sudden "resurrection" of the Shinsengumi, Chikage Kazama feels it's time.

The author has something to say:

There are two reasons why Kazama Chikage can accept the heroine's "resurrection with a dead body" and occupy his sister's body.

One is that he didn't want to see his sister at the beginning, and if she wasn't a pure blood, he wouldn't even want to contact her, so he met a female lead who was more in line with his own wishes and more in line with what a pure blood of the Kazama family should look like , recognized the identity of her sister.

The second is that the system told him the "truth" of the matter. He didn't have a pure-blooded sister (like the original book), and Chiba Kazama existed because the heroine would come sooner or later, and she was always blank because she was not A complete heroine (that is, there is no such thing as occupying his sister's body).

[Small Theater [-]]

Chikage Kazama: Heh, what is the relationship between the little ghost of Nagumo's family and Chizuru Yukimura?

Nan Yunxun: (angry) You——

(so they fight)

Chizuru: Brother, why do you want to die, Qianjing, why do you want to provoke my brother (I feel childish in my heart, but I don’t say it).

Qinghe: (Just smile at this time)
