Sleeping under the wind blowing cherry tree

Thinking that Saito had disappeared in front of them before he finished speaking, this... how fast he ran.

Saito panted and looked at the girl sitting under the cherry tree and looking up at the sky. The beautiful scene was like a painting, and Sakurako seemed to have stepped out of the painting. It was so beautiful that people couldn't move their eyes away, but This atmosphere was quickly interrupted by Saito, who came back to his senses.

"Miss Baili!" Saito called out with a serious expression.

Yingzi heard the voice, and then noticed this side, raised the corner of her mouth slightly to show a smile, the breeze blew her pink hair, today she didn't put her hair up, it was very messy by the wind.

"Mr. Saito came to see the cherry blossoms too..." she said slowly.

"Your family is very worried about you." Saito stated his reason for coming here.

"Mr. Saito, can you give them a message for me? Sakurako is very sorry for them..." There was sadness in her eyes, which should not appear in her expression, and Saito especially hoped for some reason To be able to see the girl's bright smile again.

"No, you have to say it yourself." Saito said.

"It's impossible for me..." The girl reached out to grab the cherry blossoms, but what she got was nothingness.

"It's impossible, go back and rest obediently and wait until the illness is cured, and you can watch the cherry blossoms at any time."

It's really impossible for her to recover... Yingzi didn't speak, Saito frowned, looking at Yingzi's paler and paler cheeks, I really don't know how long Yingzi can last.

"I want to eat dumplings, can Mr. Saito bring them for me? This is the last time I ask Mr. Saito, I will go back after eating the dumplings, okay?"

Sakurako's weak smile made Saito hesitate for a moment, but in order to let Sakurako go back to rest earlier, Saito agreed.

"Okay, don't move around here, I'll be back soon!"

Looking at the departing purple back, Yingzi showed the most peaceful smile, and the moment her tired eyes slowly closed, Yingzi only thought of one thing, the person who can see at the last glance It's you, nice.

She always looked at his back, watched his leaving back again and again in the dusk, but she never felt bored, no matter how many times she was willing to look at him silently and liked him.

Sakurako, I like Mr. Saito the most...

farewell day

"Pa—" When Saito hurriedly bought the dumplings and returned under the cherry blossom tree, Sakurako closed her eyes as if she was asleep, like a quiet ceramic doll.

The bag containing the dumplings slipped from Saito's hand and fell on the lawn with a loud noise.Saito clenched his fists, why didn't he notice Sakurako's strangeness.

He walked up to Yingzi's side, stretched out his arms to embrace the already icy body, although his indifferent expression remained unchanged, but if one looked carefully, one could find a crystal teardrop in the corner of his eye, sliding down from his cheek and onto Sakura's face. child's face.

Perhaps at this moment, he finally understands the meaning of the chief executive's words, and he will not know how to cherish until he loses it. He wants to see the warm smile that the sun can bring to people again, but now he can't see it anymore.His hands have been ruining his life, and now he just wants to protect this smile, can't he do it?

I fell in love with you, but didn't realize it was too late, and I didn't even have the chance to tell you. Is the feeling of losing so uncomfortable? In just one week, he let his eyes keep wandering around her.

She should be a happy bird flying freely, instead of staying in a birdcage and looking up at the blue sky forever. Maybe he understood the reason why Yingzi insisted on coming out, because at the last moment of her life, she also wanted to see That big sky.

Sakura, didn't you say that you like cherry blossoms the most? Look...the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky are seeing you off. Did you follow them away with the wind?

"Mr. Saito..." Chizuru's voice sounded softly, and Harada stood beside Chizuru in silence.

"She has already left." Saito hugged Sakurako, "Go back and tell the deputy chief for me, I may go back later."

"En..." Harada agreed.

Qianzuru originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by Harada. Qianzuru looked at the quiet girl. Although she had only met once, it was probably because of her intuition as a woman. She was very sure that if the girl was still alive , Seeing Saito like this will not be able to bear it.

"Qianhe, let's go back."

"kindness."

When Saito appeared in the yard of Baili's house with Yingzi in his arms, Patriarch Baili almost fainted on the spot when he saw Yingzi like this. The housekeeper and servants covered their faces and cried, although they had expected such an ending, But no matter what, it is impossible for people to accept the fact that their eldest lady has left.

"Thank you, Mr. Saito... Were you the last person my daughter saw?" Patriarch Baili took his daughter and asked vaguely.

"Mr. Baili doesn't need to thank me..." At that time, he went to buy dumplings.

"No, I thank you very much..." After finishing speaking, Patriarch Baili didn't say anything more, and left with his daughter's body in his arms. Saito only saw Yingzi's quiet face.

"Mr. Saito has worked hard for you, not only helped us find the eldest lady but also brought her back." Although sad, the housekeeper still said responsibly.

"I didn't protect her well." Saito originally planned to accept the scolding from the Baili family, but their attitude made Saito feel even more uncomfortable.

"Mr. Saito, don't blame yourself too much. Miss's illness will become like this one day. We are grateful to Mr. Saito, and we are not blaming you. We servants can see how much Miss attaches importance to you. , so...Miss at least experienced the feeling of being in love before leaving."

"Love?" Saito widened his eyes in a daze.

"Miss likes Mr. Saito, not between relatives but between a man and a woman. After knowing that the last thing Miss saw was you, the master is somewhat comforted." The housekeeper smiled slightly.

"...Me too." After a long time, Saito opened his mouth. It turned out that he was not the only one who felt the same way, but it was too late to say anything now.

"Really, Mr. Saito, please take care too, we may not meet again in the future." The housekeeper bowed solemnly to Saito, and then left.

Saito glanced at the cherry trees in the yard that had no more cherry blossoms, as if he could still see a girl smiling happily in the yard, but everything disappeared after recovering.

"Goodbye, Sakura."

That night, a fire broke out at Baili's house. It is said that the fire was so fierce that it almost destroyed all the property of Baili's family. The former glory of the family has become a gorgeous legend.

When Saito learned of this, it was already a year later.

No one knows how the fire started. The only thing that makes people puzzled is Baili Patriarch's daughter, the body of Baili Yingzi has not been found yet...

Extra episode 1. Familiar feeling

One year later, Kyoto is still so busy.The patrol team passed through the streets and alleys. Although they were still being pointed at by people on the street, the members of the Shinsengumi who were almost used to it could only choose to ignore it. Ronji will pop up to pass the time for them.

"Shinsengumi! Take your life!" An overconfident man charged at the back of the last person in the line.

The team members turned their heads in panic, but they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that their captain was at the end. How could the captain lose? Bar.

When the opponent's knife tip was about to pierce him, the purple figure raised his arm and hit the opponent's stomach with an elbow, and the cannon fodder was knocked out just like that.

"As expected of the captain, he subdued the opponent without using a knife." The soldiers couldn't help admiring him.

"Continue to patrol." After glancing at the person lying on the ground, and then at the familiar figure standing in front of the shop just now, Saito finally left indifferently.

"Hey~ That person is the captain of the Shinsengumi, he's pretty handsome." A certain nympho woman whispered to her friend at the side.

"Handsome? I don't know..." The woman with cherry blossom-colored long hair tilted her head in confusion, unable to understand what her friend said.

"Tch~ Forget it, I knew I told you that's what I said, I'd better go back quickly and bring back the things I want to buy." A certain nympho cast a dull look, and then took half of the plastic bag in his friend's hand. into his own hands.

"Ah... Hanako, let me get it." The woman wanted to snatch those plastic bags, but the woman named Hanako refused.

"You're so rough, I'll take it, but Yingzi, it's rare to come out, look around here, don't you think of anything?"

"No... I'm just in a daze all the time, it's not a rough nerve!" Yingzi retorted.

"Hey, you're naturally dumb~ I understand." Hanako nodded perfunctorily.

"That's not it!" The two of them walked to Shimabara with the wine they just bought, chatting and laughing. Several girls they knew came to say hello, and they replied happily one by one.

A year ago, Yingko was found lying at the back door of Shimabara, and her kind mother, Mrs. Meiko, the owner of Shimabara, rescued Yingko.
