[Sword Three] How to break the lady who is a technical emperor

In Ise Grand Shrine, a grand ceremony was held to welcome the arrival of the miko.Everyone was infected by the cheerful atmosphere of the ceremony, after all, there is not much to be happy about now.

But there is only one exception, that's right, Qingluo who is squatting in the corner and drawing circles.

The last time she was weak, she and Okita fell down together, and then...then she was caught by Xin No. [-] who came to protect the Lord in time.

As for Okita's reaction... Qingluo felt that although he was smiling, he was a little scary.

Just then, a little bird spread its wings and flew to her hand.

"Huh?" Qingluo raised her eyebrows, her expression immediately became serious.

Before leaving, she left a puppet in the capital to keep an eye on the news. Unless something more important happened to this Tiangong bird, she would not use it easily.

So... has there been a change in Kyoto?

Qingluo took out the note from the bird's beak, and when she was about to read it, she suddenly put the note back into her sleeve.

"It's a beautiful bird." Toshio Matsumoto walked over from behind and sighed when he saw the bird in Qingluo's hand.

"That's right." Qing Luo, who always accepts compliments from others, nodded, raised her hand, and let the bird fly.

"Choose to let it fly instead of locking it in a cage." Toshio Matsumoto smiled, "It seems that you are much better than my stupid daughter."

"Whether to fly or not," Qingluo said lightly, "it has nothing to do with the quality of one's character."

"Oh?" Toshio Matsumoto said with great interest, "What does this mean?"

"Sometimes flying is to protect the authenticity," Qingluo twitched her lips, "the difference is that if there is a dead land in front of you, if you still let it fly, it will push it to a dead end, isn't it?"

"But if you don't go to check, how will you know if the front is dead?" Toshio Matsumoto said.

"It's very simple." Qing Luo said, "Because whether it is dead or not, there is only one bird, and there is only one chance to choose." She glanced at Toshio Matsumoto, and said with deep meaning, "Sometimes people's choices , can decide many things and change many fates. Even if it’s just a bird.”

Then she ignored Matsumoto, turned around and left.

Okita followed the sound of the piano to find Qing Luo, and the ceremony was completed, Orihime complained to Yuko about the heavy clothes on her body, Yuko dragged Shinpachi to be buried with him, and Mr. Matsumoto disappeared—at the same time Qingluo was also missing, after thinking about it, he decided to go to Qingluo.

"Qingluo?" He looked at the back of the piano player for a long time and said.

"Ah, you're here." Qing Luo's men stopped playing.

"Why today..." Playing such a low and sad tune?

"Ah, this." Qingluo said very calmly, "Whenever I think of an old friend, I will play this song, and usually light incense, but here I keep everything simple."

To put it bluntly, it is just to pay homage to the deceased.

People are inherently mortal, but the way of paying homage to the deceased is not limited to etiquette in Wanhua Valley, as long as it comes to mind.Some people who are more open-minded just bury the bodies of relatives and friends who have passed away under the sea of ​​flowers, and don't erect a monument. Come here every year to drink a pot of wine and play the piano, which is also a kind of memorial service.

"I promised my relatives," Qingluo recalled, "Although there is no blood relationship between us, in my heart, they are no different from relatives. If they are not alive, then every time I think of them, I'm going to play a piano for them, so that they won't forget that there is a little junior sister like me in the ground. Ha." At this point, she shook her head and smiled helplessly, "What a nonsense."

"Nonsense?" Okita asked puzzled.

Qingluo didn't say anything else, her eyes moved back to the strings, "I have developed a habit since then, whenever I think of someone who has passed away or will never meet again in this life, I will I'll play a song."

"Who did you think of?" Okita asked.

"Kubo Heizhi." Qingluo said.

Okita was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened immediately.

God knows how much he hated the name, and the person.Thinking of the days when Qingluo cheated to death, Okita felt that if it hadn't been confirmed later that Kubo Heiyuki's body was wiped out by the explosion he directed-he might not be able to resist looking at the corpse when others were not paying attention He didn't care if it violated Bushido a few times.

"Tch." Seeing his expression, Qingluo couldn't help laughing, "What kind of expression is that?"

"Why did you mention him?" Okita said, his voice turned cold.

"Actually, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the reason why he became like this." Qingluo said.

"Qingluo has no responsibility at all." Okita said firmly, "It's all his fault."

"No." Qing Luo said, "Listen to me."

"..." Okita fell silent.

"I noticed his thinking a long time ago," Qingluo said lightly, "but I didn't correct it, but just watched, intentionally or unintentionally fueling the flames, I didn't realize there was anything wrong with it, because teaching That's what my people taught me—but maybe it wouldn't have happened if I had wanted to."

"But it's just if." Okita said, he had never been so persistent in front of Qingluo, so that Qingluo looked at him in surprise, "No one can say what will happen in the future, for me, Qingluo is doing well now It is enough to stand here, and I will be fine for other dangerous things."

As long as you're okay, nothing else matters.

"Does it not matter?" Qingluo said, "Does it not matter if Shinpachi and Shannan's lives are in danger? Does it not matter even if something happens to Shinsengumi?"

"Those things are up to me." Okita insisted.

"..." Qingluo was expressionless, and she was about to stand up with a wave of her sleeves, but when she stood up, she suddenly stopped, and blood seeped out from between the fingers covering her mouth .

"Qingluo!" Okita was a little flustered, he stepped forward to support Qingluo, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's just an internal injury." Qing Luo said very calmly, seeing Okita's eyes that instantly turned cold, she explained, "Don't worry about old injuries."

"Then what should I do?" Okita had no choice but to say, not being hurt by someone.

"Just take me back to my room." Qing Luo calmly tapped herself a few times and said.

Okita had no choice but to send her back to the room.

Qing Luo coughed a few times, then nodded to Okita thankfully, and asked him to go out.

But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning. Ruan Qingluo, who had always seemed so indestructible, fell ill after the recurrence of that old injury.

Everyone was shocked—Nimma would get sick too!Unscientific! !

Only Yongcang Shinpachi, after seeing someone who was taken care of by Okita meticulously, had a very similar sense of foreboding.

In fact, Qingluo's thinking is very simple, the right time, place and people are all there, so it would be a pity not to carry out the previous plan of pretending to be sick.

And she thinks this is also very natural - such as getting sick, recovering from illness, and then making a confession along the way, it's really amazing, isn't it.

As a result, she miscalculated the perseverance of the Japanese samurai, and subconsciously regarded him as the favorite of the seniors, um, a good friend.Obviously, for people with different settings, the same method can only achieve the opposite effect.

Qingluo was depressed.In addition, the situation in Kyoto was almost clear, so Qingluo slipped out when no one was paying attention, and ran to the cold pool in the shrine to play with a face of recovering from a serious illness.

When she was in a daze lazily, he saw the anxious Okita Souji running over while calling her name, he realized that she seemed to be in a daze for too long.

She immediately fished out the clothes on the side without hesitation, and dived into the water, intending to wait for the man to pass by before she emerged. Who would have thought that Wanhua's robes were already richly decorated, and for a while, a piece of her The jade pendant on his body fell to the ground and was seen by Okita.

She didn't know what Okita was thinking, and she couldn't understand it—she hadn't always understood the thoughts of her friends, but this didn't stop her from getting up quickly when she saw Okita was about to jump into the water, and then when he almost When it was about to enter the water at one o'clock, he caught him and took him back to the pool.

"I told you not to enter the cold water," Qingluo reprimanded, "You just called me from the side, why did you jump off?"

"...Heh." The broken hair on Okita's forehead fell down, covering his expression, and he twitched the corners of his mouth. "Then turn your back and see you come out and then pretend to find you?"

After all, without waiting for Qingluo's reaction, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qingluo's skirt, the distance between the two couldn't be closer.

"Don't make fun of me about this, Qingluo." He whispered, "Anything else is fine, but this one is not."

Qingluo looked at him quietly, "I didn't..."

Souji Okita let go of her skirt and covered his face. "Do you know how I felt when I saw the flame of the red lotus!"

"Do you know what kind of mood I'm holding, coming all the way here?!"

"......"she does not know.Qingluo lowered her eyes and thought, she never thought about it.

"Thanks to the fact that I lost my memory at the time..." Okita Souji gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise I would definitely..." I couldn't help but beat you up.

"I was wrong." Qing Luo, who knew she was wrong, said honestly, it was really scary for someone who was always gentle to get angry.

But... there should be hope.

Qingluo thought, and asked carefully, "You...why do you care about me so much?"

Without waiting for Okita to say anything, she said again, "Even if you are friends, but you care so much, but you care too much."

Okita looked into her eyes, smiled wryly and said, "I thought you already knew..." He turned his head and said, "Because, I like you." He looked at the sky and sighed.

plan pass.Qing Luo compared the letter V in her heart with no expression on her face.

The author has something to say: =-= What Qingluo didn't tell the chief is that her senior brother thought that this would make her not miss herself anymore, but in the end, she played for several days and nights and was almost useless. ╮(╯_╰)╭
