[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

***Dragon Horse's Goddess***

I know, I also understand: the man in front of me can be relied on, can be relied on.

"Busy man." I looked at him with a smile, "I don't want to trouble you."

Just like the plan that Ishikawa-senpai said, I have been using the convenience of Shinsengumi to prepare for the upcoming assassination of Ryoma.

The guilt in my heart is not non-existent, everyone treats me well, everyone trusts me, every time it makes me feel very uncomfortable, I owe them too much, at least, I can't add more trouble.

"It's not troublesome for me. I still have some business to deal with, so I'll come and see you when I have time." Hijikata Toshizo stood up and walked out of the house, "By the way, remember to go to Mr. Ishikawa, he seems to have something to say I want to tell you."

"Really?" I nodded, "I'll be there in a while."

In fact, I didn't go to see Senior Ishikawa. Topics such as the blood of ghosts and planning fate are still in my mind, and they can't go away for a long time.

Can't figure it out, can't discern his purpose.

What does it mean to need my existence?Could it be that during college days, Ishikawa-senpai began to approach me purposefully for some special reason?He even arranged a series of things such as going to the laboratory for an internship?

— “It looks like it’s going to be interesting.”

What Ishikawa-senpai said to me before the experiment went wrong, makes me shudder when I think about it now.

Is everything now in his plan?

After washing up, I filled my stomach with the rice balls brought by the general manager.This guy seems to be looking better than before I left.

"How are you?" I asked.

"It's still not the same." The chief executive hooked the corners of his mouth and seemed heartless, but the way he looked at the sky still made my heart ache, "Hey, Ah Tong, what is the purpose of life?"

"Are you alive?" I looked at the chief in surprise. Why does this guy think about nothing all day long? I pursed my lips and looked up at the sky. Yun Duo floated leisurely and contentedly, "Although survival is a human instinct, I always want to crown it with better wishes, dreams? Emotions? Any one is enough for people to survive."

"Then what about Ah Tong? What are you living for." The director asked, "If there is only one year left, how will Ah Tong want to spend it?"

"I..." I paused, the moment of blocking the bullet for Hijikata Toshizo filled every corner of my brain.Yes, everyone thinks that I am loyal to the lord and sacrificed my life for Iemo Tokugawa, but I myself know best who the power that surges up comes from, "I have never thought about it."

"Hey, Ah Tong. If it were me, I would want to live a more meaningful life." The director's laughter came, pure as the sky, childish, "I want to protect the people I want to protect, I want to protect A promise made."

"Ah, our chief executive has grown up." I looked back at the sky and looked at him, "If you want me to say, Xiaosui is a good girl."

"What." The chief turned around with raised eyebrows, "I don't know what Ah Tong has in his head. I don't care if I have a good relationship with Mr. Hijikata, but he still wants to push me out."

"How can I ignore you." I pouted and raised my chin, "I'm so wronged."

"Ha...cough..."

The chief's face flushed with a coughing sound, and I quickly patted his back to give him some relief, "Why is it still not healed, is Mr. Matsumoto's medicine not effective?"

"There is no such special medicine." The chief said quietly, touching his chest, "It has to be recuperated slowly."

"That's right." I nodded.

"Tong."

"what?"

"The No. 14th general died of a serious illness, did you know?" Under the sun, the chief executive looked down at me with his back against the light, his brown-red hair fluctuating with the breeze in the light.

I nodded, I didn't want to lie to him.

"So that's how it is." The chief executive nodded understandingly, "I must have reached a happy place."

I hope so too.In order to learn about Tokugawa Ieshige's situation after the incident, I went to find Toshizo Hijikata, but he was away on business and had not returned yet.As a last resort, I came to the house that guarded Rakshasa.

"You are here." Senior Ishikawa sat upright in the room, "I hope my explanation can restore your trust."

"Wait." I interrupted him, "I just want to ask about that person's recent situation."

"That person?" Senior Ishikawa looked at me suddenly, "Mr. Jia Mao?"

"That's right." I nodded.

"You know the rhetoric on the face, right? He died of a serious illness. I'm afraid the court has already installed someone to put Duke Mao to death."

"I also guessed the same." I sat down cross-legged, "The tea served by the temple that day was poisonous, and after fleeing, the officers and soldiers sent were killed, and there was no attempt to bring Tokugawa Jiamao back. mean."

"Above ten thousand people, they have dedicated everything to this country, but they didn't expect to be killed. It's a mockery to say it's a general." Senior Ishikawa took a sip of tea, "If it wasn't for the general who wandered carefully, I'm afraid the Then I drove the crane west."

"What about now? Does he exist as a human being or..."

"Human beings." Senior Ishikawa smiled, "The Lan doctor Hijikata Suisan risked his life to find, saved Jia Maogong. Before you woke up, I gave the Jiamao bus to Matsudaira Rongbao."

"..." I frowned, "Can I trust him?"

"Don't worry." Senior Ishikawa nodded, "Master Matsudaira has already participated in this plan, and the next group of people will continue to act. It is most appropriate and safe to leave it to Mr. Matsudaira."

"That's good." I stood up and wanted to leave, but Senior Ishikawa stopped me, "I have your letter here."

I turned around and looked at Senior Ishikawa, holding a stack of letters in his hand, the top one had my name written on it, the handwriting was very familiar to me - it was a letter from Ryoma.

I snatched the letters, including letters sent by Ryoma, and letters sent by me because I hadn't heard from Ryoma for a long time.

"You..." I gritted my teeth and stared at Senior Ishikawa, "What the hell are you..."

"Ryoma has married." Senior Ishikawa's eyes were as calm as water, "with his real goddess——Ryu."

"Ishikawa, the fate you mentioned is all your excuse." I smiled lightly, "Ryoma has happiness, I will congratulate him, because you do some sneaky things and try to influence my decision, you What kind of person do you think I am?"

"Only by doing these sneaky things, can I pull them out of the abyss of death." Senior Ishikawa looked at me seriously, "Maybe you don't know, what is the difference between what you do and what I do? "
