Water Moon Mirror Flower

The sun gradually fades away in the distance, disappearing into a sunset glow, the two are mixed together, and the distance cannot be seen.

Xi Ying turned her head, with the setting sun behind her back, looking at the woods behind her.Finally, I came out before the sun went down.

For herself, she still blames herself.No matter what the reason was, it was almost because of her that the headmaster and Mr. Kondo were slowed down.

The concept has always been stored in the impression that before the death of the historical chief executive, Mr. Kondo surrendered alone in order to protect the Shinsengumi, and was eventually killed.

Yuzakura had never lost a loved one, so she couldn't imagine that kind of sadness at all, just like in a dream, she couldn't understand Chisaki.But she knew that it must be several times more painful than anything she had ever experienced.Definitely, it's like asking her to kill the chief executive with her own hands.

Glancing at the general manager worriedly, Xi Ying finally turned her head away and didn't speak.

In fact, since Xi Ying woke up, she only said that one sentence.Thinking about it now, I don't even understand why I was so eager to argue.Maybe, I don't want to have a gap with him anymore.Want to stand by his side.

And the general manager didn't say anything, just smiled slightly after Xiying's flustered defense, then let her go, stood up, and continued on his way.

Xi Ying just followed him half a step behind him, and she could see her black hair from the corner of the eye. For a moment, the chief executive even felt that the time went back to the time when we were still together.When he and Saitoichi took Yuzakura and Chizuru to patrol, the girl was like this, following him quietly, always following the place where he happened to see and was not obtrusive.

The chief's footsteps suddenly paused, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't make a sound, instead of looking at Xiying's suspicious gaze, the chief stared at the red patch of sky, and quickened his pace.

So, I went out of the mountain before dark.

After entering the town, the road was much easier, and both of them were dressed in men's clothes, so they didn't attract too much attention.But at that time, Edo was already under the control of the new government, and I never thought that I would have a day when "thieves hide from the police". Back to the residence.

Wrapping her whole body in the quilt, Xi Ying closed her eyes, recalling the scene just now.

The soldiers who saw the new government grabbed a man who looked like a remnant of the Tokugawa shogunate. Two people supported him, and two others held guns from behind, and just walked past them.

There are many people patrolling at night, but the manpower is not concentrated, especially when a prisoner has just been caught, a lot of energy is put there, and it is even more scattered.They thought they could take this opportunity to go back quickly, but they were still careless.

When she heard a voice coming from behind, "Who are you? What are you doing here sneakily at night?!", Xi Ying's mind came up with the movie about WW2 that she had watched when she was at home. scene.

Although the war has not yet broken out in the era she is living in now, but she doesn't know where to get angry, maybe because she has accumulated too many negative emotions, Yu Ying became angry in an instant, and even shouted in her mother tongue, "Independence regiment leader! "This title.

The chief didn't hear what she said for a while, and felt that her mood was not right, but before she could stop it, Xi Ying stepped behind the man, knocked him unconscious with a knife in her hand, and grabbed the gun from his hand , took a closer look.However, at this moment, another soldier who seemed to have just wandered over just happened to see such a scene, and raised his gun at Yu Sakura and the chief executive.

"Isn't it just a gun! It's as if someone can't use it!" As if returning to the target shooting practice in the military training in middle school, Yu Sakura set up a gun that looked similar in structure, and pulled the trigger without aiming.

The strong recoil caused her to fall to the ground, the bullet flew out from the muzzle of the gun, and slid across the enemy's cheek, leaving a burn mark. Paralyzed, Xi Ying took a breath and stood up again.

As if controlled by the killing intent, Xi Ying still wanted to pick up the gun, but the chief took advantage of this gap to grab Xi Ying and quickly escaped from here.Not far away, the whistle of the new government army calling for the comrades was heard because they heard the gunshots. If they continued to stay here, even if Xiying could use the gun, they would die in vain.

Lying in the quilt, Xi Ying felt cold all over her body and trembled uncontrollably. At that time, she really wanted to kill that person, even different from the feeling of hating Nagumo Kaoru so much that she wanted to kill him. She had never met that person, and never hated him, but at that moment, the nameless impulse in her heart controlled her, wanting to see death.

This is what Kyogoku Natsuhiko said, when all conditions permit, people can't help but want to try to kill that kind of impulse called murder motive?No, it is not.At that time, it was obviously not the best time, and the chief executive was still behind her, and she didn't want him to see...

Her thoughts stopped suddenly, and she hugged herself into a ball hard, but she couldn't relieve the trembling in her body.What were you thinking just now? !Could it be that if the chief executive is not here, can he kill people wantonly? !How could I have such a horrible thought? !Xiying's fear deepened again, and what could never be relieved but could not be escaped was the fear of herself.

Xi Ying was afraid, afraid of herself, this bloodthirsty self who had become strange.

Is Chisaki encouraging her again?But she didn't hear Chisaki's voice.Or, it was really as she guessed...

Yuzakura has turned into Chisaki.Chisaki has turned into Yuzakura.Two different souls share the same body, and in the end, there is only one soul left... It's not who is left, but... Fusion...

But... it's not exactly like that... I didn't hit him, did I? ...It must be because, I still don't want to hit it! "must!……"

Xi Ying comforted herself, trying to use this reason to convince herself to believe.However, as he read it, his words changed, and his voice became smaller and smaller.Until she couldn't even hear herself, Xi Ying could only hear what she had just repeated in her mind over and over again, "What should I do?"

The night was just right, Xiying heard the sound of the paper door being opened, she tilted her head slightly, and the figure illuminated by the moonlight was the figure of the chief executive. "Aren't you asleep yet?" I wanted to pretend to be calm and throw out such a sentence, but Xiying heard her voice trembling, as if she was telling him that she was not well.

The chief executive was not surprised by Xiying's situation. In fact, he came to see her because he was worried about her. Sensing her intentions, the chief executive put on his usual sly smile and squatted behind Xiying , "You are not the same. Why, can't I fall asleep without me? In that case, it doesn't matter if I sleep with you."

Such words really made Xi Ying startled, she turned around suddenly, but almost bumped into the chief executive, and quickly turned her face away, "Say, what are you talking about! You broke into the girl's room in the middle of the night and said this What kind of words, are you looking for a fight?!"

Saying that, Xi Ying sat up and stretched out her hand to hit him, but before the fist fell on him, he held it tightly in his palm.

I once heard that a man's palm is bigger than a woman's, so that he can hold her hand tightly in his palm, and never let her have a chance to disappear.

The chief executive held Xi Ying's hand, and with light force, pulled her into his arms. "Do you still remember that you are a girl? But, you can't hit me like this." She smiled smugly and deliberately said words that angered her.

However, Xi Ying didn't have the angry reaction he imagined, but grabbed his skirt with his other free hand, and then gently leaned her head on his shoulder. "Why? Why were we assigned to the 'wrong' side?! Obviously, without any ambitions, and did not want to hurt anyone...why...why..."

Maybe Xi Ying wanted to cry, but she didn't shed tears, and her voice became a little hoarse because of thirst.The director quietly listened to her asking why, but couldn't give an answer.Where is there any why?Winner takes all, loser for Kou.This is the same law for thousands of years.They are losers, abandoned by history.And how can one be entitled to know why.

The boss gently stroked her short hair, trying to calm her down. "Your world is beautiful. You say, it is the credit of the Restoration. Right and wrong, we are not able to distinguish." The choice of history is never wrong. "What's more, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. The reason we fight has always been for these things, isn't it? We have never been considered good people. We are all... walking in this world called killing. On the road, son of a ghost."

The Shinsengumi was not very popular at the time, or was called the Mibu wolf by the locals.However, what they follow has never been right or wrong, justice or evil.They just follow their own "sincerity" and their "Tao", and walk on that road without hesitation even though they know the end is destruction.
