[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

***Please be sure to do bad things in a small dark corner~***

A few days later, I learned from Xinbakou that Xinjianjin apologized for his guilt on the night of my injury. Although I was shocked, but because I was vaccinated by Xinpachi, I accepted it relatively calmly, but for Ryoma I became even more overwhelmed by the question marks I raised.

Shinpachi looked very depressed, and he still couldn't forgive himself after sending me countless regrets for not protecting me on the day of the injury.

"It's my own fault, it's none of your business." I emphasized again.

"It won't happen next time."

This is the Shinpachi I know. I moved my body with a smile. Because of my back injury, I could only lie on my stomach. I gave up struggling. I asked Xinpachi, "Then what about changing like water?"

"I found it, and now I entrust it to Ishikawa and Shannan." Xinba replied, "Ishikawa is in the garrison now, and I think he will come to see you in a while."

"Hmm." I nodded.

"He also knew about your injury." Shinpachi seemed to think that I didn't know the situation, and added.

"It's okay, it's not a serious injury." I shook my head with a smile, "It's just boring to sleep on my stomach."

"But that person must be very sad." Shinpachi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

I knew who Shinpachi was talking about at a guess, but I couldn't imagine Toshizo Hijikata's sad look, obviously he always looked like he was being paid a truckload of money by others.

"Shinpachi, does Hijikata Toshisan know that you are teasing us so tirelessly?" I pursed my lips and stared at Shinpachi.

"Of course I know, he was favored by others to do things for others." Shinpachi smiled uncomfortably, and suddenly his face changed, "But he was not in a good mood after he came back from Aizu yesterday."

"What?" I wondered.

Xinba Tanshou expressed his puzzlement: "I don't know either."

I wanted to ask him about his situation, but there was a knock on the door, followed by senior Ishikawa's voice coming in through the door.Shinpachi shrugged and said we'll talk next time, waved to me and walked out.

"It's been a few days since we haven't seen each other, so I've become an injured patient." Senior Ishikawa walked in with a loud smile, and he sat cross-legged next to me, "Fighting with the lawless rogues, one-on-two, good guy."

"I'm sorry, I was being asked for trouble, and I didn't want to confront them at all." I said helplessly.Senior Ishikawa laughed again, even though I didn't find it funny at all.

"It's people who are in high spirits on happy occasions." I said, but I thought in my heart that there must be great progress in the matter of turning things around.

"The improvement of Chang Ruo Shui is very successful. Of course I am happy."

It can be seen that senior Ishikawa really cares about Bian Ruoshui very much. Even though he said that this is the last choice to save Ryoma, I still feel a little bit repelled.

"Senior Ishikawa, can you trust me completely now?" I stared at him seriously and asked, I need to know more details about Ryoma's assassination.

"Yes." He nodded, "What do you want to know?"

As soon as I heard it, I was a little excited. If I could clearly understand the situation at that time in advance, this would be the biggest advantage, and my voice suddenly raised a bit: "About Ryoma, about Shinsengumi. Can you tell me everything? ?”

"All? I can't guarantee it." Senior Ishikawa turned his face and smiled. Only then did I realize that his black hair had grown a lot and was tied up like a small tail. Among them were a few silver-white hairs. Silk is clearly visible.

I smiled: "Hey, this is not a joke. Don't you also want to save Ryoma?"

Senior Ishikawa looked back at me, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but after only a few seconds, his eyes turned calm again, glowing with calm light: "Random guessing will lead you into a dead end. "

"I'd rather believe my speculation, after all, you're also planning to hide it from me." I lowered my head and let my chin rest against the soft bedding, "It's really insincere, I thought we were grasshoppers on the same rope , should be able to trust each other."

There was a moment of silence, and then a gentle force pressed down on the top of my head, and then slowly stroked along my hair. Senior Ishikawa said slowly: "I trust you very much now, there is no doubt about it. But I also have my concerns. If you think about it carefully, it may be because I am too selfish, but there is another reason, that is, I rely too much on your strength."

my power?I turned sideways in confusion, the wound on my back suddenly hurt, I gritted my teeth and endured, "I don't understand."

"I don't understand either." Senior Ishikawa laughed, "I hope my gamble is right. So, now it depends on whether you can trust me completely."

raised eyebrows.I think his words always make me confused, "You have to make me understand what it is for."

"Sacrifice in order to survive, and to restore history with one's own efforts."

"what?"

"Don't you want to save Ryoma? Let's work together." He smiled and stretched out his hand to hold me, "As long as you trust me, I will do my best."

All along, this senior who took good care of me at school and tried his best to help me even after graduation has definitely won my respect and gratitude, but a series of previous situations have shaken my trust in him. It seems that his purpose It's an ulterior conspiracy, but now the white hair on his head, the tiredness on his face, and even his previous remarks about people's powerlessness, all make me feel sorry for him.

This man who is a master in school and has been promoted steadily in the company, seems to have everything so logical, but now he is full of tiredness and dust.Is this not him, or is this him?I'm a little confused.

But one thing I understand, I trust him.

"I believe you." I took his hand back.

Even if there are doubts, he will not do anything to hurt me. For some reason, I just believe that.

"Then, let me give you a gift." Senior Ishikawa smiled, "Whether it's Ryoma or Shinsengumi, it seems that the ending is not very good, but since we cooperate, we can save them without hiding their eyes. "

"Covering people's eyes and ears?"

"Let history follow his footsteps, but pull them up from the abyss of history." Senior Ishikawa smiled, "To fulfill the ego without changing the overall situation, the power of historical correction should turn a blind eye and close the other. eye."

"That's okay." I was surprised.

"Do you have a better way?" Senior Ishikawa stood up and prepared to leave, "Your group seems to have a banquet tomorrow, it's really lively."

"I haven't heard of it." I suddenly remembered Ryoma's letter, "Don't go, I still have something to ask."

Ishikawa-senpai opened the door, the sun came in and shone on my face, I squinted my eyes and saw Ishikawa-senpai waving with his back to me, "Then let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Are you going too?" I asked, but the only answer was the sound of closing the door.
