[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

***Ryoma Assassination***

The home is there, but the heart is not.

"If one day you don't like me anymore, don't love me anymore, please tell me." I said that to Hijikata Toshisan that night, but he smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, pinched my shoulder and kissed me the tip of his nose, "Why do you ask that?"

"Simply and neatly, it makes me feel better."

"Heh——" Hijikata Toshizo's lips pressed up, and the tip of his slightly protruding tongue swept over my lips.I felt myself being embraced by him, and his gentle voice sounded in my ears, "I can't give up on you."

……

A few days later, Isamu Kondo proposed to build a house for Hijikata Toshizo, and he said with a smile that he could let Hijikata Toshizo hide his charms in the gold house.Hijikata Toshizo asked me about this, but I flatly refused.

"I'll just stay here."

Hearing what I said, Hijikata Toshisan smiled relievedly. I asked him what he was laughing at, but he didn't say anything.

This day happened to be the day when relatives and friends came back from Edo. My sister repeatedly held my hand and told me to take good care of myself and eat fatter.I nodded naturally, saying that I would take care of myself and Hijikata Toshizo as well.She burst into a big smile and patted my shoulder.

As for Ah Chang, she still took care of Isamu Kondo to take good care of herself. As far as I know, she didn't mention anything about Miyuki to anyone other than me.I looked at her, she turned her head as if aware of it, her eyes met, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, just like the sweet and pleasant person when I first met her.

It hasn't changed, but it has changed.

After sending everyone away, an unexpected guest came to the new settlement.I didn't know him at first, but I can be sure that he came in a bad way, because his eyes were as calm as stagnant water, but full of murderous and hostile aura, like a ghost in the dark night.

"This is Sasaki Sasaburo from the Huigumi." He introduced himself like that, and then he turned his eyes on me, "I heard that the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, Toshizo Hijikata, is getting married, and I'm here to send you a congratulatory gift. Team up to protect Kyoto and work for God."

The man's narrow eyes moved and locked on me.For some reason, I trembled all over, as if I had realized this, Hijikata Toshisan pulled me to protect me behind me, I only heard him say some polite and official words, and then sent the man away.

But this time, everyone was on guard.First of all, our wedding was done in secrecy. Except for a person who came from the test hall and a very trusted confidant, no one should have known about it; secondly, the attitude of Saburo Sasaki was obviously against I was concerned, and I was wearing women's clothing at the time, so I'm afraid he would have noticed it.

"It's inconvenient to wear women's clothes in the village after all." I said this to Isamu Kondo, and explained that I was willing to take care of the Rakshasa as before. After all, as a Rakshasa, my own body is also very good data.That's why Isamu Kondo gave up sending me to the outer house, and made Hijikata Toshizo treat me like he treated Taifu Miyuki.

Senior Ishikawa was also very nervous about this matter, he hoped that I could stay in the garrison, and he frowned even more worried about the abnormal behavior of Saburo Sasaki.

"This guy is a ruthless character, and I'm afraid it will be bad for Ryoma. From this point of view, he is also very concerned about this side."

I nodded and said, "When that guy stared at me, I felt as if I had been poured a basin of cold water. It was so scary."

"What does that guy mean?"

……

I just went back and forth between the two sides, taking care of Rakshasa, and feeling the care and concern of Hijikata Toshizo.The hot summer makes the throbbing even hotter, burning my body and soul, making me deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate myself.Maybe it's because of the happy mood, or maybe it's because of Senior Ishikawa's potion. In short, the sense of distress in the body gradually disappears, and the sequelae caused by turning into water are gradually cured. The body is much better than before. Others are almost unharmed.

However, in October, as soon as the news of the return of the great government came out, Sakamoto Ryoma's name became famous all over the world.

I turned pale when I heard this, and hurried to find Senior Ishikawa.When I anxiously opened the paper door, I saw Senior Ishikawa leaning on the table with his head folded. The back that I thought was strong now looked weak.

"Are you here?" He heard the sound of my opening the door, stood up and turned his head, with an indescribable tiredness on his face.Seeing me, he raised a tired smile on his face: "Now, it seems that it's really starting."

Sure enough, a month later, Saburo Sasaki, who had returned to the group, came to the door.

"I heard that the Shinsengumi and Sakamoto Ryoma are on good terms?" He held the teacup in one hand, and his eyes pierced my face like sharp knives.I gritted my teeth and looked directly at him. This guy must have heard the news before he asked that question, but he didn’t have the actual evidence. Otherwise, according to what Senior Ishikawa said, the Shinsengumi would have been in trouble long ago.

For some reason, I felt relieved.I crossed Erlang's legs, put my hands on my stomach, raised my chin slightly, and said, "I don't know where Mr. Sasaki heard the news from hearsay. If you slander our Shinsengumi like this, are you underestimating our chief?"

Although I'm sorry to talk about Isamu Kondo, but at the moment I can only use him to embolden myself.Sure enough, Sasaki saw that Saburo's complexion softened a bit, even if it was just a whitewash on his surface.He put down the teacup with a smile, and laughed three times dryly: "Don't get me wrong."

"Tong." Kondo Isamu pretended to reprimand me with a smile, "I haven't apologized to Mr. Sasaki, after all, I am a colleague."

I lowered my head slightly with a smile, and jokingly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sasaki."

This day, when Saburo Sasaki left, I was about to go back to the house, but I was suddenly stopped by Senior Ishikawa who looked flustered.

"No." His eyes were full of panic.

I grabbed his wrist with my backhand and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's not right!" He was extremely nervous, and his hands were sweating profusely.Only then did I feel that the matter seemed serious, so I hurriedly said, "Senior, is it... something about Ryoma?"

Senior Ishikawa nodded, and I could clearly hear his swallowing.He took out two bottles of Changruo Shui from his arms, and squeezed them tightly under the moonlight: "Things are getting out of control. I'm afraid..."

"afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that assassination day...is today."

When Ishikawa-senpai uttered the last word, I just felt my head went blank, and the blood in my body rushed to my head. I grabbed his arm and yelled in a low voice: "Where is it? Omi House? Will there be any changes?"

He shook his head, "I'm not sure, but I have to try."

The author has something to say:

There are a few very important exams in a few days, and I originally wanted to take them at the same time as Wen, but these two days I really feel that I have no ability to separate them (╥﹏╥)

So I'm going to fall in love with the test master again [crying]

I'm really sorry, I said that I was going all out [sigh]

Little angels, please forgive me (╥﹏╥) I will probably be back next Monday, Tuesday at the latest~=3=
