Chief Okita in Taisho

Breathing method is the unique skill that the ghost killing team relies on to kill ghosts.

Rihu Swordsman, Ji Guoyuanyi, was the man who almost killed Kiwu Tsuji.

Every ghost has the cells of Onimai Tsuji, the imprint of fear//in the bottom of my heart.

Yuhu howled wildly in his heart: It's not good, Mr. Wu Mi, the Rihu swordsman has appeared again!

However, due to the one-hit death, all the ghost cells were burned, so this message could not be conveyed to Ghost Mai Tsuji.

Winding Wu Yuhu died.

……

"Okita-kun!"

California Qingguang hurried over, "Are you all right?!"

Saizo jumped onto Okita Souji's shoulder.

Director Okita exhaled lightly, showing a reassuring smile: "I'm fine."

"Okita-kun—"

What else did California Qingguang want to say, but the other party's magnified smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him, making him breathless: "!"

"Did Qing Guang forget?"

"Although it doesn't matter if it's just us and Saizo right now, it won't work if someone else is around—"

Director Okita smiled and asked, "What should I call me?"

"Yes!"

Proving that he has not forgotten his master's instructions, Kami Kiyomitsu stood up straight and said firmly, "Mr. Seta Soujiro."

Okita Souji nodded with a smile.

After all, Okita Souji is just a relic from a bygone era.

He should have passed away in the midsummer of 1868, but he came to Taisho more than forty years later.

People who have died should not continue to exist.

So he can't tell people of this era his true identity, at least he can't take the initiative to reveal it.

"Okay, let's go back."

Okita Souji's wooden clogs stepped on the rails, walking childishly, his figure swaying slightly.

"I've been wanting to try this for a long time!"

"Our means of transportation at that time... seemed to be riding horses, right? I didn't expect such a thing to appear in just a few decades..."

California Kiyomitsu walked a little behind Okita Souji, as if ready to rush up at any time, for fear that the master would accidentally sprain his foot.

"Go back to the station first, then go to the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara."

"I'm looking forward to the snow scene of Mt. Fuji just thinking about it," Souji Okita asked, "Do you want to see Kiyomitsu?"

"Chong... Will Seta-kun continue to kill ghosts tonight?" California Qingguang subconsciously frowned, "Your body..."

"Ok?"

Okita Souji looked at him with a smile.

"You're worrying too much, kid," Cai Zang said.

California Qingguang also comes from 2205, and it has the same origin as Caizang's redemption value system, so its voice can also be heard.

"what……"

California Qingguang reacted, lowered his head, his red pupils dimmed slightly.

Yes.

Okita-kun... is no longer the "person" he used to be.

Naturally, it is no longer that sick body.

Qingguang of California heard Caizang’s voice again——

"Jinpingtang, consumption of redemption value: 1."

"Do you want to buy it?"

"Yes~"

"Purchase confirmed."

"Come on, Qingguang."

Director Okita walked up to California Kiyomitsu, poured out a few Konpei candies into his mouth, and handed the remaining bag to California Kiyomitsu.

"Seta-kun?"

"It's candy."

"Qingguang should know, when I used to have no tasks, I would go to buy snacks," Mr. Okita's warm smile almost overflowed from his eyes, "After eating, I will feel better."

Was he coaxed by Okita-kun?

California Qingguang was a little at a loss: "I...don't need so much..."

"Huh? It doesn't matter, you take it first," Okita Souji shook the sword in his hand, "I want to wipe off the sword."

It's not easy to wipe off the blood when it dries up.

The nearby wells were frozen, so California Kiyomitsu watched Mr. Okita use the redemption value to buy water, sword cleaning cloth, sandpaper, maintenance oil... There is even a fresh fragrance!

The boy sat on the rails and carefully maintained the sword step by step.

His pale fingertips were slightly red from the cold.

Okita-kun...

Looking at this scene, California Qingguang was a little worried and embarrassed, but more happy.

"Will it be uncomfortable if you don't wipe it clean?"

"It's only now that I know that Qingguang is Aimi's child."

Okita Souji said, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.

His voice was extremely soft, like a snowflake falling quietly to the ground.

"—I am really sorry for not repairing you in time after the broken Ikeda House."

California Qingguang: "!"

"After that battle, I was ordered by Mr. Hijikata to see a doctor, and the Shinsengumi was busy with a lot of things after that... But these words sound like excuses, I'm really sorry."

"Can you forgive me?"

"Okita... Jun..."

"If I knew that Qingguang could become a human, I would definitely protect Qingguang... But if I met him at that time, I would think it was incredible?" Okita Souji chuckled.

"Could the other swords be cute children too?"

he thought cheerfully.

The knives used by Okita Souji also include "Yamato Shou'an" and "Kikuichi Monji Nomune".

"...?"

After not getting a response for a long time, Mr. Okita raised his head in confusion, only to find that California Kiyomitsu was staring at him with tears streaming down his face.

"Ah..."

Oops.

His original intention was not to make Qingguang cry.

Okita Souji stood up and was about to take out his handkerchief, when California Kiyomitsu suddenly threw himself into his arms with such force that Okita Souji staggered back.

Bang, the sword fell to the ground.

"Okita-kun, Okita-kun..."

"sorry--"

California Qingguang shouted hoarsely.

"At that time, I failed to protect you... At that time, I failed to stay by your side..."

"sorry Sorry!!!"

Kali Qingguang clutched the lapel of Okita Souji and burst into tears.

It's like venting out hundreds of years of regret.

His master, Souji Okita, is the eternal heart of California Kiyomitsu.

Okita Souji died of illness.

He had just turned 26 that year.

The Battle of Ikedaya was the most difficult battle Okita Souji experienced during his lifetime. That is, in that battle, the tip of the California Kiyomitsu knife was broken and has never been used again.

Okita Souji could carefully perceive the boy's fear of being abandoned again.

He lowered his eyes, raised his arms to hug California Qingguang, and patted his back reassuringly.

"It won't happen again, that kind of thing."

"Thank you for coming back to me, Kiyomitsu."

After his death, Okita Souji had a wonderful experience——

His spiritual body wandered around, visited many places, and was finally found by "Cai Zang".

The other party told him that as long as he completes the task and obtains the redemption value, he can get the corresponding reward.

The final reward is - to go back to the end of the Bakumatsu.

Okita Souji agreed.

Waking up again, he obtained a 16-year-old body, although not a real human body, but enough for daily activities.

He will do whatever it takes to get it done.

"Let's go back together, Qingguang."

Back to our era.

"Ah."

Ahhh.

I can feel it, this gentle feeling...

It's really Okita-kun.

……

"I haven't seen the characters of Ju Yi, but An Ding does exist."

"Really, what kind of child?"

"It's called 'An Ding', but he's not stable at all. I don't know why he has so many crazy ideas in his head."

"When you are competing with your peers, what else will you say, 'Oh, kill you, kitty'."

"Pfft-"

"Sounds cute."

"I really want to see him soon."

"……Me too."

Ka Kiyomitsu has a vivid memory of his life with other swords.But the strange thing is how he came to Taisho - this part of the memory is lost.

It's like being dug out of thin air.

When Souji Okita led California Kiyomitsu back to the station, the crowd had dispersed.

He ordered the guards to go to the cargo compartment and take the pot seller away.Killing human life is enough to spend most of your life in jail.

Afterwards, California Qingguang opened a separate box in the carriage.

If the young man was present, his jaw would probably drop to the ground in shock.

——The few people inside seemed to be his subordinates who had just been "killed" by the jade pot!

Here's the thing.

From the moment they boarded the train, Souji Okita and Kiyomitsu Kawasaki split into two groups——

California Qingguang mixed into his team and let several people hide.Souji Okita exchanged the redemption value for a "person" who could be mistaken for the real one.

Those killed by Yuhu are all fake people.

Several people heard the rumors in the station, realized that they had saved their lives, and thanked the two of them one after another.

"Complete the mission: Shadow of the Train."

"Salvation value: +1000."

"Get a special reward: the initial breathing swordsman."

"Use time limit: 10 minutes."

"……what?"

Both Okita Souji and California Kiyomitsu were slightly taken aback.

Who is this "Initial Breathing Swordsman"?

"Anyway, just let it go."

After waiting for a while, Saizo didn't issue any instructions, Souji Okita said, "Let's go to Mount Fuji."

Sometimes the next task will be released directly, and sometimes it needs to go to a certain scene, complete a certain event, and be triggered passively.

"Does Qingguang want to go back to rest in the sword?"

"I..." California Qingguang said softly, "I want to stay with Seta-kun for a while longer."

Okita Souji smiled.

"it is good."

"Um…………"

Okita Souji suddenly poked his chin with his fingertips, looking distressed.

California Qingguang: "What's wrong?"

"I always feel like I've forgotten something..."

"Yes."

"Did Soujiro forget me?"

The third person's voice sounded faintly.

Osamu Dazai appeared next to the two of them, wearing a scarf, and at some point there was a small burden on his back.

While he was talking, his eyes were firmly fixed on the hands held together by the two of them, as if they were about to stare into a hole with scorching heat.

Osamu Dazai strode forward and bumped into the middle of the two——

As he expected, in order not to be touched by him, Souji Okita withdrew his hand.

Again.

Osamu Dazai curled his lips and looked up at the person next to him: "I ate the rice ball, Soujiro."

"It's ok."

"That was originally for you, you didn't eat much in the car, did you?"

Gee.

This look of not being angry at all...

"It's clear that you're going to come to me after you've dealt with it, right?"

"Hey, brat," California Qingguang said displeased, "don't trouble Seta-kun."

"Yes. I was looking for you, Dazai, and here you are."

Okita Souji walked out of the station.

"fraud."

Osamu Dazai muttered softly.

The mud in his eyes that didn't match his age surged up, dyeing his kite pupils deep and almost black.

He chased after him and turned up the volume: "You clearly said that you forgot about me—"

"Hey, do I have one?"

"You heard me wrong~"

"You have!"

"……Ugh."

California Qingguang sighed helplessly, and followed the two out of the station.

Okita Souji originally wanted Dazai Osamu to stay at the station, and he and Kiyomitsu went to the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, but Dazai Osamu refused.

The final result was that the three of them climbed the mountain together in the middle of the night.

Although the snow situation is a little less, the mountain road is full of snow, which makes walking difficult.

Osamu Dazai, who has been a pampered young master since he was a child, came last as no surprise.

"..."

Okita Souji looked at his hands, and turned to California Kiyomitsu: "Kiyomitsu, can you help Dazai?"

Snapped.

The long-haired boy clasped his hands together and blinked: "Please?"

California Qingguang: "!"

A heart attack!

"Really... Even if Okita-kun doesn't speak in such a tone, I will agree..." California Kiyomitsu muttered in a volume that could only be heard by himself.

The master is gentle, loves to laugh, and is also cute, so how can their little hearts of swords and swords bear it.

"Hey."

California Kiyomitsu walked up to Dazai Osamu who was struggling to pull his leg out of the snow, stretched out his hand, and said in a moderate tone, "Give me your hand."

Osamu Dazai looked at Kiyomitsu of California, and then at Souji Okita not far away.

"No."

California Qingguang remembers to use an alias in front of outsiders: "Do you still want Seta-kun to help you in person?"

Kid, you're thinking of peaches.

Under the fluffy and soft black hair, Osamu Dazai's face froze.

"I didn't say that."

Most of the time, this teenager's expression is not mature enough to look like a 14-year-old.

He was just curious about the bond between Soujiro and Kami Kiyomitsu——

When he was picked up by Soujiro half a year ago, Kami Kiyomitsu was already by that person's side, and the two were almost inseparable.

As wise as Osamu Dazai, he could sense that it was a kind of bond and tacit understanding that no one else could interfere with.

He felt a little uncomfortable, just a little.

"I don't want your help."

"You guy in high heels and painted nails."

Osamu Dazai just missed saying "sissy".

In some ways, the California Kiyoshi is as perceptive as his master.

After all, there used to be a Chef Okita just like him.Not only will California Qingguang not feel a sense of crisis, but it will also feel joyful.

This shows that Okita-kun has a great personality!

"Yoah."

With his hands on his hips, Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his eyebrows.

"—so you are jealous?"
