"I can't believe Mr. Shannan would do such a thing to me." Director Okita sighed and said, "I thought Mr. Shannan was a good person, but..."

When Director Okita woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. Since the duties of patrolling the streets had been replaced by mechas, the recruited warriors could only do nothing all day long.So they can gossip like this in their own dormitory.

"Shut up Soujiro!" Shannan stroked his forehead with a headache, "I really didn't see who sent you back..."

"Ah, having said that," the young man clapped his hands happily, "I was sent back by my daughter, right?"

"Li.....female?" Shannan said a little surprised.The expression on his face changed for a moment, then he quickly calmed down and continued, "So you kid is regretting this?"

"I heard that Li Nu is a very beautiful monster." The boy said seriously.

"Don't you have the face to send drunk people home!" Shinpachi said excitedly, "You are so lucky to be sent back by a divorced girl!"

"A youkai without a face, no matter how beautiful the other parts are, it's scary, right?" Souji Okita added with a smile, "And I think Mr. Hichikata, who seems to be angry, is more scary than youkai."

"Indeed." Shinpachi smiled, "But since you didn't see it, how do you know that the other party has no face?" He smiled meaningfully, "Well, but Mr. Hijikata is indeed looking for me, Excuse me~”

"Okita," Shannan said, "I think it's time for us to choose."

"Yeah..." Okita sighed, "Mr. Shannan, I always thought that I just need to make a sharp enough knife, but—"

But he didn't expect to be picked up and pointed at the person he least wanted to hurt.

"Okita, I mean just in case," Shannan said quietly, "if you meet her without canceling the arrest warrant, what will you do?"

"I will kill her." Okita smiled, "Then I will go with her."

At this time, a small wooden mechanism bird flew in from outside the wall. It poked its head over the wall for a while, then flew in and landed in Okita's palm.Like a real bird, he called a few times at him, and shook the feathers on his body a few times.

Okita was stunned for a moment, grabbed the bird and ran to the base of the wall. The wall was not high, but he hesitated before jumping over it. Instead of jumping over, he sat down along the base of the wall.

"It's so beautiful." He sighed to the wooden bird in his hand, "You are not afraid of me at all, you are so fragile in my palm that you seem to be easily destroyed."

Not understanding what he said, the wooden bird pecked its feathers and looked at him with its head tilted.

"I... miss you so much." Okita finally couldn't help it, and said intermittently, "But now, only now, I can't see you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He finally endured I couldn't help crying.

He heard a faint sigh, passing across his heart like a feather.

The wooden bird flapped its wings a few times and flew away from his palm.

Okita Souji couldn't help but chased after him, but when he jumped over the fence, he didn't see anything.

It was empty, without a trace of anyone coming.

Is it... an illusion?Okita thought, although he was relieved intellectually, but his mood couldn't help but sink down.

"Sojiro." Looking at the young man who came back over the wall, Shannan was silent for a long time, but only said, "Everything will be fine."

"Well, it will be fine." The young man smiled bitterly. He looked at the direction where the wooden bird was leaving and said, "Mr. Shannan, I think I have made a choice."

Wooden birds flying in the sky are no different from real birds except for the color of their coats.

Since there are too many mechas all over the capital, everyone thinks that this is just a mecha made by Dai Nayan Kubo.

And Dai Nayan Kubo, who is busy with politics and social life, would never want to take his precious time to go for a walk outside, right?

Because if he did, he would find out.

He has never made a mechanical wooden bird, and he is flying leisurely among the maple leaves in the capital.

"Young Master." The respectful servant handed over a wooden bird, "This is today's wooden bird."

"Yeah." The young man who used to be Taro Aihara and is now called Yoho Matsudaira nodded, holding the wooden bird in his hand, "Go down."

After dismissing the servants around, Matsudaira Rongbao deftly disassembled the mechanism wooden bird in his hand, and took out the note inside.

"Li daughter?" He smiled helplessly, "Master is really getting more and more naughty."

"However, if that guy knows that Master is fine, he will probably die of happiness." As if thinking of something, he smiled lightly.

The rumors of the divorced girl are getting more and more intense in the capital. It seems that everyone has seen her. Some people say that she is a beautiful woman without a face, some say that she is a pure girl, and some say that she is a hot royal sister. There are different opinions. In short, , no one looks the same in the eyes of Li Nu.

In this way, after a few days, a detailed map of the military defense distribution in the capital came to some people.

The air is getting hotter and hotter, and it will soon be the time for the Menglan Pen Festival.

There is still no news about Qingluo, but the rumors of the divorced girl who was noisy a few days ago gradually faded away.

"Really, I heard that fewer and fewer people have seen Li Nu." Xiaoju said, "What do you think, Princess?"

"Ah? Me?" The princess who was in a trance was stunned for a moment and said, and then she said a little downcast, "Is it... gone."

"Ah, and, that's not the case. Let's inquire again, and we will definitely get more clues! My lord princess!" Xiaoju said in a hurry.

"No need." The princess forced a smile, "It's all right...I don't care about these things anymore."

This is good, cover your ears and close your eyes, never touch that world again, and stay in the safe cage opened up by your relatives and friends for yourself.

Ah, this is how I lived every day before I met her.

"Ah, look, my lord princess," Xiaoju said suddenly, "There is a bird flying from outside."

"Bird?" No way, the princess thought, would a normal bird fly in like this?unless......

"Where is it?" the queen asked.

"Here." Xiao Ju said cheerfully, "It's in the palm of my hand right away." Then she presented it to the princess with both hands.

This is.....? !The princess looked at the bird in her hand and was extremely shocked.

Isn't this the wooden bird she made out of boredom back then!

This bird should have been given to Master by her if nothing else... so to speak!Master is still alive?

"It's really... great." The princess said while hugging the bird.

She found that the questions she had been struggling with had been answered.

"... Heh." Ah Ding looked at the wooden bird flying in from the window and smiled.

"Is there anything I need?" the maid at the side asked respectfully.

"I don't need anything." Ah Ding leaned lazily on the soft pillow beside him, and said gracefully, "It's just a little bird. When will your lord come back today?"

"...Go back to Madam," the maid said after a pause, "My lord... I was invited by Dai Nayan Kubo to a dinner party tonight."

"Is that so?" Ah Ding squinted her eyes, leaning on the soft pillow, she was so coquettish even if she didn't do anything, "You have nothing to do here, go down."

"Yes." The maid saluted and went down.

"Kubao Dai Nayan?" A Ding smiled softly, stroking the wooden bird in his hand, "It really helped a lot."

Then she got up, put on a dress, and went to the flower garden in the courtyard with a lantern.

The wooden bird fluttered a few times in her hand, but did not leave, but looked at her unblinkingly with its small black eyes.

"The time is coming." Ah Ding said to the wooden bird as if sighing, "Tell Ah Zhu, start preparing."

The sky not far away gathered dark clouds again.

The storm is coming again.

"Mr. Shannan, I always feel that there are more and more warriors in the city." The boy said, "Is it my illusion?"

"No." Shannan said, sighing.

So, why are the superiors acting like this?The boy asked Shannan Keisuke suspiciously, but the latter only responded with a sigh.

Well, there is nothing else to do except war, and there is only war.

Half a month is enough for Keisuke Yamanan to see the current trend clearly—the dispute between the two factions headed by Kubo Daiinaku and Kyoto guardian Matsudaira Yohoho has reached the point where fire and water are incompatible.

That being the case, then who issued the arrest warrant and how it was issued has become the most fundamental question.Shannan thought, if the Wu family issued the arrest warrant because of the government's interference, then there is room for change in this arrest warrant, provided that they can fully understand the above situation, but how could the above situation be his own? A little rogue can spy on it.

After hard thinking and meditation to no avail, Shannan decided to consult Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isamu.

"Shannan, you're here." Isamu Kondo happened to be discussing matters with Hijikata today, and seeing him coming, he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

"Kondo, we've been doing nothing here for months," Shannan said. "What news do you have?"

"It's just in time." Tufang sighed and said, "We're talking about this."

"Oh?" Shannan said.

"We suspect that a series of parties headed by the public, led by Dai Nayan Kubo, are planning a curtain-down event in recent days." Isamu Kondo sighed, "Because they have that kind of mecha, they recently stole the limelight, and even said that they will rely on Such a monster came to fight for peace talks with foreigners."

"This doubt has been in my mind for a long time." Shannan asked, "Who made that kind of mecha?"

"Kubo Danayan." Hijikata said solemnly, "Because that kind of mecha is too powerful, once we really start a battle, our side's winning rate is not high."

"What if..." Shannan had an idea and said, "What if we also find someone who can make that kind of mecha?"

"Is there anyone else in the world who can make that kind of mecha?" Kondo asked.

"About this, I hope the two of you can keep the things I'm going to say a secret." Shannan said sternly.
