Today is the wedding day.

"How is it?" Qing Luo stood in front of him wearing a white body and said.

"Very beautiful." Okita was stunned for a while, racking his brains, but only came up with such an adjective.He wears a long black kimono with his own family pattern embroidered on the back, two chests, and two sleeves, and a plain cloth pattern folded skirt. He also wears a coat with the same five family patterns. He holds a white fan and wears white on his feet. slippers.

Qingluo looked at him, and couldn't help but praise her gaze, she didn't say anything, and smiled faintly.

Okita stayed where he was like when he first saw her.

"Let's go." Qing Luo said, "You're also pretty."

"Really?" Okita smiled, "As long as Qingluo doesn't dislike her."

"I picked you myself, why should I dislike you?" Qingluo said.

The two walked towards the temple together, and the passers-by they met on the road expressed their blessings to them one after another, and Chongtian smiled back, and Qingluo followed suit for the first time.

Then came to the gate of the temple.The two put away their expressions, and walked into the temple upright.

The officiant was Shannan, the priest was Isamu Kondo, the matchmaker was Shinpachi, and Aguang and Fuchen sat on both sides.Erqing is the officer.

The first step is the opening speech.

"It's started." Erqing bowed and stepped aside.Start commanding, "Please stand up."

So everyone stood up, Isamu Kondo took the marijuana, and after dipping in the holy water, he greeted them twice, saying, "May I be clean and filthy, not evil, and be perfect and long."

Then he stepped back with his hands down, and Erqing said, "The offering begins."

Qing Luo and Chong Tian placed the prepared dishes in front of the shrine, clasped their hands together and saluted, thus, the ceremony of offering became a ritual.

Erqing said again: "Congratulations."

Shannan stepped forward, and he said, "I would like to exchange my sincerity for Er Fukang."

After everyone listened, after clasping their hands together to salute, Erqing took out the rice wine that he had prepared before and handed it to Isamu Kondo, who took it, poured the wine into the wine glass, and handed it to the two of them.

Since it was rice wine, the two drank it quickly.

Mr. Okita was a little nervous, because it was time for his oath. For this reason, he thought for a long time, and even asked Fuchen for advice, so he wrote such an oath amidst Fuchen's weird smile.

"Heaven and earth are the rebellious journeys of all things, and time and time are the passers-by of a hundred generations. The phoenix chooses a good tree to live in, and the phoenix finds a good companion to sing. I swear to this today. I will listen to the sky and listen to it. What a blessing to meet you, although the time is gone, the time is urging people, time is not separated, dreams are not separated, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon are the mirrors, relatives and friends are the witnesses, in the names of the two, I make this oath of silence. "

It turned out to be Chinese.

Ruan Qingluo touched her forehead infinitely.really...

Fortunately, after that, it was time to worship the sacred tree. A group of people cleaned up their messy mood, and after worshiping the sacred tree, they toasted to the families of both parties.

After the toast, everyone ushered in the most normal congratulations.

Before the ceremony ended, Shannan said: "From today onwards, you will become partners in the long journey of life. After ten years of cultivation, you can cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, you can sleep together. I hope you will cherish the marriage that you have cultivated for a hundred years. On behalf of everyone, I wish you forever Unite in one heart, unswervingly determined.”

it is finally over. ——This is what everyone thinks.

Then Qing Luo took off her white dress and changed into a gorgeous dress embroidered with auspicious patterns in three colors of gold, silver and red.Come to the real banquet and continue to salute, smile, eat, and change into another dark-colored, maiden-girl kimono after eating.

She swore that she had never worn so many kimonos in her life like today, and then she decided that the first rule with Okita after getting married was to never wear kimonos in informal occasions.

Well, then the wedding ended like this, and everyone was happy.

After getting married, the group returned to Kyoto. Isamu Kondo was very satisfied because he recruited Kokotaro Ito, but Hijikata didn't like this eloquent person, and he always disliked him.

"Brother Shannan, what do you think is going on?" Ito sometimes complained to Shannan.

"It's not compatible." Shannan said, "Tufang has always been a strict person."

"Hey, that's right." Ito said, "I'm very interested in foreigners' things recently, Shannan wants to learn English with me?"

"I... well, forget it." Shannan said.

"Okay." Ito shrugged and didn't mention it again.

Now it's early spring, Shannan remembered that he hadn't seen Qingluo for a long time, so he walked towards Qingluo's residence.

But on the way, he met Isamu Kondo.

"Shannan." Isamu Kondo's complexion was very bad, he asked, "Qingluo, is that the person in the flame of the red lotus?"

"..." Shannan paused, and said, "Ah, ah, she should be a little girl when the flame of the red lotus was in flames, how is that possible?"

"It's better not." After Kondo finished speaking, he left.

"Huh?" Qingluo said in surprise, "You said Kondo found out that I was the same person back then? How is it possible?"

"I also hope it's impossible." Shannan said, "But if it's true...Qingluo, you have to be careful, their methods of eradicating dissidents have never been bright."

"It should be fine." Qingluo said, "He has no evidence, how can he act?"

"He has no evidence, but he has an excuse." Shannan said, "Once he makes a false accusation, then..."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Qingluo put out the chess pieces excitedly and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, do you want to come and talk about a game?"

Shannan had no choice but to play chess with her.

However, things really went as Shannan expected. On February [-]th, he had a dispute with the Hijikata. The Shinsengumi was about to move the base to Nishi Honganji, but the Hijikata firmly refused.Just when he was in a stalemate with Hijikata, Kondo said, "Go to Nishi Honganji Temple, then you will have a chance."

After all, he gave Hijikata a meaningful look.

Shannan's heart suddenly turned cold.

He didn't dare to think about the meaning of it, and he didn't want to think about it.

After returning to his residence, he set out a chess set and played against himself.

Ever since he got to know Qingluo, he has had such a good habit. When he can't see through the situation, he can see many confusions that he couldn't see clearly before.

After a game of chess, he had a decision in his heart.

On February [-]th, he left a note saying 'go to Edo' and secretly left the Shinsengumi.

"Did he really do this anyway?" Qing Luo said with a sigh.

"Why?" Okita lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and said, "This is, why!!!!"

"Because he is always different from what you see." Qingluo said, "He left this time with the belief that he would die, didn't you see that?"

"..." Okita must have seen it, he covered his face, "But, why..."

"He must have his own considerations." Qingluo sighed, "He doesn't want to betray you, but he doesn't want to violate his own heart. With the balance between the two..." She didn't say any more, just quietly Quietly looked at Okita.

"Do you think so too?" Okita asked, "Do you and Mr. Shannan have the same opinion?"

"...I can't fully agree with his idea," Qingluo said, she still nodded lightly, "but I can't deny that his idea is advisable to a certain extent."

"I don't understand." Okita said.

"Then you'd better not understand." Qing Luo said, "Because sometimes knowing is not a good thing."

"I'm going to find him," Okita said.

"Well, let's go." Qingluo nodded and said.

Shannan didn't go to Chengedo in the end. After he walked to Otsu in Omi, he felt a little tired, so he stopped, sat in the izakaya, ordered a cup of tea, and looked out the window while drinking.

"Ah, it's Okita." After seeing Okita, he waved to the boy kindly, "This way."

After seeing Shannan, Okita couldn't help tightening his grip on the handle of the knife.He bit his lower lip, hesitated for a while, and finally stepped in.

"Mr. Shannan," he said with a sad smile, "Long time no see."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while, how is Qingluo, how is it?" Shannan smiled and poured him a cup of tea, just as usual.

"Sir, do you think you can still run away?" Okita looked at the tea in his hand, a bitterness already spread in his mouth in advance.

"Running or something," Shannan said with a smile, "I just want to come out and see the scenery outside."

To see the land he loved so much, and the hope he had fought his whole life for.

"I," he said, "at the beginning I held a knife for myself. In order to realize my ideal, I joined Kondo and became your companion. But time has passed, and the idea that was reasonable at that time is no longer feasible. It's really cruel, isn't it?"

"Sir..." Okita's voice could not help but carry a hint of sadness.

"Thinking about it this way, at the very beginning, that guy has already seen it. No wonder I lost so badly in the game of chess. It seems that he really wanted to win a good game in the last game. Willful Like a child, I really don't know what to say." Shannan continued.

"Sir...come back with me." The young man desperately held back the tears in his eyes and said.

"Yes, it's time to go back." Shannan said. "You and Qingluo must be happy." He said, "Maybe the future I wish for will be realized by you."

"We... will definitely do it!" The boy's tears finally flowed down.

"I'm crying now, I have to put it away later." Shannan teased.

"Just let me be your mister." Okita wiped away his tears and said firmly.

"Okay." Without any surprise, Shannan agreed.

"Dreams are short, and time is the most grievous." On the day of Shannan's seppuku, Qing Luo placed a jug of wine at home and sighed.

"You already expected that he would have such a day." Fu Chen said.

"This is the only way he must go." Qingluo said, "I have no choice. There are already too many regrets in the world, and this one is not missing."

"..." Fuchen looked at Qingluo, and finally swallowed the words that he almost blurted out.

"I'm back." Okita's figure appeared in the entrance, he said sadly.

"Welcome back." Qing Luo greeted her and said. "Want to eat?"

"No," Okita said, "I want to be alone."

"Yes." Qing Luo said, "After you recover, I have something to tell you."

Unexpectedly, I waited until March [-]th.

On March [-], the Shinsengumi decided to move the base to Nishi Honganji Temple.

At this time, Hijikata and Kondo started to act.

"It's a bit wrong." She stopped, turning the brush in her hand. "One, two, three, four...hehe."

Only at this moment, her limbs and bones suddenly felt a gravitational force.

On the way, Okita didn't see Qingluo, and felt something was wrong.

"Mr. Kondo, can you tell me where Qing Luo is?" Okita asked.

"She went the other way," Kondo said.

"Which way is the other way?" Okita asked reluctantly.

Kondo looked at Okita and said, "Okita, sometimes people have to learn to let go."

Okita understood immediately, a chill came out from the bottom of his heart, "Mr. Kondo...did something to her?"

"Her identity is ambiguous, I can't allow such a person to appear by your side." Kondo said as a matter of course.

"Hehe, is it because of this reason?" Okita smiled, "Mr. Kondo really doesn't understand...I'm sorry, I'm going to find her."

"Are you sure?" Isamu Kondo said.

"Mr. Kondo," Okita shook his head, "I have no life, she is alive, so I am alive."

"Could it be that she used some method to control you!" Kondo Yong said in shock.

"..." Okita shook his head bitterly, "It has nothing to do with this."

Then, with Kondo's acquiescence, he ran on the way back and forth.

Please, be sure to come in time!He prayed in his heart, he must, must come in time! !

Sudden pull by gravity, Qingluo is beset by the enemy, Fuchen and Erqing fight against the killer by her side, leaving her to fight against the gravity alone.

This power is unusual, could it be... Thousand Machine Lock? !Qingluo was taken aback for a moment, but she had to admit that this was the only possibility.

At this moment, she saw the boy running towards her.

But she couldn't delay any longer.

"Qingluo!" Okita called her name while running.

A purple halo appeared around Qingluo, watching him approach faintly.Then, reaching out to--

The boy also stretched out his hand——

When the fingertips were about to touch it, along with Erqing and Fuchen, Qingluo disappeared.
