two flowers bloom

Five years later.

"Go over there and have a look!" A low but menacing voice, the man in uniform nodded and ran towards the indicated direction.Another man in uniform stayed where he was, watching silently.

Five years have passed since then. Although this situation has happened many times in the past five years, the nostalgia has never been able to let go.Saitoichi... Maybe he should be called Fujita Goro. He is leaning on the lamp post at the moment, smoking a cigarette. His long black hair has been cut off, but that sharp-edged, star-eyed, sharp-edged face, that kind of The feeling of weathering has not changed at all.

Now is the age of peace, and even if he has a saber, he doesn't use it much.Seeing the peace now, it seemed that everything before was a nightmare, and now he finally woke up.It's just that the dream was so real that after waking up, I would often recall it.

"After waking up from the dream, you should cherish the reality." With a familiar voice, Fujita quickly extinguished the cigarette, and then moved his hand to the handle of the knife.He hesitated for a moment, such a reaction had become a bad habit for him that he couldn't get rid of.

"Who?" he asked.

"Just passing by." He didn't know where the voice came from, but he felt very familiar. It seemed that he had heard that voice every day, and it was not hostile, but rather warm.

"A very suspicious passer-by."

"Is it suspicious? Then I have to pay more attention." The other party didn't panic at all, but seemed to be joking with him, "It's been so many years, how are you?"

"...Although I don't know who you are, it's not bad." It was strange that he was not on guard, and the answer came out of his mouth, which made him frown a little.

"Then don't worry...it's still the same, with a sense of prestige, but it's a pity that I'm getting too old, and I always feel more and more like that person, so my subordinates will be afraid of me."

"...May I ask who is this?"

"Well, I'm just a traveler running around to fulfill the agreement." The other party said lightly.After such a period of time, Fujita captured the location of that person, which was actually on the roof next to him.The method of hiding the breath is very good, it feels quite powerful, he thought secretly.

"It was found."

He followed the sound, but only saw a black shadow... No, it was the back of a woman in a black kimono. Since the distance was not close, he couldn't see it clearly.

deja vu.He feels that way.

"Have we met?"

"Hehe," the woman smiled, and didn't answer right away, but was silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps, I've seen it."

"...Are you okay?" Seeing who it was, Fujita turned his back and asked hesitantly.

"It looks good, doesn't it?" The woman still turned her back.

"I can't tell, probably, it looks pretty good."

"It seems that even Hajime will grow old due to the passage of time, and his skills will become rusty."

"Ah." He nodded lightly.

"So...they, are they okay?"

"They? Those who stayed, is there anyone else?" The woman smiled, "I'm leaving."

"Where to go?"

"Go, fulfill the agreement." As soon as the voice fell, the black figure disappeared in a flash.The moment she left, Fujita turned his head. He seemed to see cherry blossoms falling around the black figure, and where the woman stood, a flag with the word "sincerity" fluttered slowly.

"Yeah, I was really surprised to meet Hajime." In an almost isolated village, a woman in black kimono sat on a chair outside the door of a house with a drink in hand, "However, Hajime almost It hasn't changed, it's still the same, calm and serious... Speaking of seriousness, Hajime's expression seems to be becoming more and more like you...I'm really worried about what kind of dark life his subordinates are leading." The woman casually As he spoke, he didn't pay any attention to the dark air surrounding the man beside him.

"What, don't be so angry, I'm just praising you for being a leader."

"But I can't hear it at all." The man sighed, and took the wine from the woman's hand by the way.

"Hey! Can't drink now!"

"Hmph, just go buy it again."

"...Believe it or not, I'll kill you."

"Come if you can, do you think I will be hurt by a rookie like you?"

"I still don't know who saved his life by a rookie like me." As soon as the woman's voice fell, the man's posture of holding the wine froze like that.

"Are you still angry?" The woman looked at the frozen man and asked.

"No, nothing."

At that time, he tried his best to escape from the encirclement with the help of Budu Yuhun. Since his injury was not fatal, he tried to find an acquaintance to treat him, and concealed the fact that he was still alive.Now he is already a dead person.Thinking of this, the woman frowned slightly.

"When you woke up, you said angrily that you were going to kill me... It was really too much. No one was saved, only you were saved. Others died, but you had to live, live. , but he was not even allowed to shout out his own name..."

"Stop talking." The man interrupted the woman, "Don't unilaterally portray yourself as extremely evil, I was too impulsive at that time."

"Don't worry, you are not as scary as usual if you are too impulsive."

"I'll take it as a compliment." The man snorted and turned his head away.

"I remember... this is the line I used."

"No impression."

"This is too cunning... Is that why you call it a fox? Ah, I really understand it. If it weren't because I am too loyal and keep my promises, I should really let you go on the rampage and serve a cup of tea by yourself Drink and watch."

"Don't you feel disgusted by the compliments you said to yourself before?"

"No, not at all... Ah, he's awake! Put down the wine quickly, uncle drunk."

"...You are really impatient, Yusama."

"Then, let's call it Uncle Lust." Feeling a murderous aura, the woman twitched the corners of her mouth twice and said, "Just kidding, just kidding."

"Mai, Hichikata-san, what are you doing?"

"Ah, good morning, Mr.... No, Soujiro." The woman smiled at the man in white who came out of the room, and said.

"Okay, Soujiro... what is good morning, it's already evening, idiot."

"...Hehe, you two have such a good relationship." The man in white who was called "Soujiro" smiled, walked slowly to the seat opposite the two, and sat down.He was pale and looked weak.

"Soujiro, let's go inside, it's windy outside." The man beside him said hesitantly.

"No, it's only in the yard that we can see the cherry blossoms." Soujiro smiled, pointing to the huge white cherry tree in the yard and said, "Besides, it's rare that Mr. Dojikata is here, so of course we have to enjoy the flowers."

The woman didn't make a sound, but just looked at Soujiro, her eyes were full of tenderness and some melancholy.

The young man who exchanged almost all his strength has already forgotten everything. Only Sakura can connect them again.But isn't that a good thing?Although the future will be miserable, at least now I can drink and enjoy the flowers in the peaceful age, and smile happily without any worries.

She turned her head to look at the two knives on the shelf in the house. The knives were covered with dust and looked like they hadn't been used for a long time.

It's been five years, five years have passed since then, the day of fighting with swords, I'm afraid it won't come, they can't live that long... and living that long is beyond the limit of human beings .Now he and she are just ordinary, without any special human beings.

Even if the flowers of two lives are about to wither, they can sacrifice everything in exchange for a unique meeting in this life. For them, no matter whether they will wither or not, just meeting is enough.

"Sojiro, don't drink too much."

"It's okay, I'm not that weak..."

"Soujiro, it won't hurt to listen to Hasama about this matter."

"Uncle...don't you also drink too much?"

"Hehe, Wu looks like an old woman..."

"Soujiro! We're now banning alcohol!"

"Hey...it's still noisy..."

Such a scene is the happiness they have been looking forward to for hundreds of years, and it is the only time they meet each other in exchange for hundreds of years of struggle...

Such happiness is enough.

No complaints, no regrets.

Finish

The author has something to say: The last two chapters were originally intended to be combined into one chapter, but because of the large jump in content, they decided to divide them into two chapters. The number of words is quite different from the previous ones, and it may be uncomfortable place, I apologize again.

At this point, "Two Lives Blooming" is over. I have spent a year with her. When I think of the days when my mind was full of the shogunate and the Shinsengumi, I suddenly feel very far away (however, these words are very far away. far away...)

The novel is over, and I am going to go to high school. I know that my work is still far behind, but I am very grateful to all the friends who have read the article, and all the friends who have clicked on the interface of this novel.When I first started writing novels, I never thought that there would be more than 100 collections, and there would be so many people leaving messages. For me, the writing style is not very good, and the storyline can’t be written very attractively. Thank you Advice and support got me through the year, really, thank you all so much!

If history only records what people think, if they are actually living well there, savoring happiness until they die, how wonderful it would be.

Shinsengumi—the people who exist in the bloody wind and take "sincerity" as the banner, even if their bodies decay, their souls, we will always remember them in our hearts.

The Xinsen group is immortal, and the word "sincerity" is immortal!
