On the Survival Skills of Gap Benmaru [Comprehensive]

After the Ikedaya incident, more than [-] soldiers from the newly selected group were injured, and three were killed.

Although it can be said that this event had a major impact on history, almost rewriting the history of the end of the Bakumatsu, but for today's Shinsengumi, they don't know how earth-shattering they have done.Especially for Director Isamu Kondo, he only knew that such a hard-hit Xinsen team was short of manpower even to maintain the most basic city inspection tasks, so Shen Yao was immediately included in the team with the heaviest casualties this time. That is, Okita Souji's subordinates.

No matter what is written on Shen Yao's identity certificate, and how much the person who recommended her praised her, even if it is a formality, the entrance test is still required.

Of course, for the Shinsengumi, there is no formality in this regard. Everyone has fought from life to death.

"Do your best to attack here, kid." In the practice room, a newly recruited team member with a scar on his face held a sword in one hand, and said to Shen Yao contemptuously.He looked down on Shen Yao, such a young man, he looked like a young boy raised by a noble family who hadn't experienced wind and rain, and he didn't know what to do in the Shinsengumi, this was not a place for him to play house wine.

Shen Yao ignored the contempt for the newly selected team members. She was holding the sword in both hands, trying her best to concentrate, recalling the feeling of facing the enemy in Ikeda House.

When I returned to the station yesterday, many people saw that Shen Yao was brought back by Director Kondo, and now I heard that it was her entrance test, there is no other way of entertainment, and the team members with strict management can basically move Everyone hula-la-la surrounded the room, they were all curious about what kind of extraordinary abilities this young man with tender skin and tender flesh brought back by the director general had.

It was only at the beginning that they saw Shen Yao's strange movements, and many people began to point fingers.

"Did you see it? The boy's sword-holding posture."

"I see, I have never seen such a strange holding sword posture, have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it before. It looks like the whole body is full of flaws. It can attack anywhere."

"Maybe it's a genre I haven't seen before, by the way, what genre does this kid come from?"

"I don't know, but seeing that he has cut his hair short, he must have returned from studying abroad. Could it be a Western-style sword sect?"

This sentence immediately caused a lot of boos. For the Shinsengumi, things like kendo are of course the best and strongest in the local area.

Being ridiculed, Shen Yao didn't pay attention to the words of these team members at all, she was still silently lucky, luck for a long time...

Fall, what about the instinctive reaction of the body memory?

Why is it sometimes effective and sometimes not effective? It's not Duan Yu's Six Meridians Excalibur.

Now what is she going to do, keep posing here?It's like killing embarrassing cancer.

"Boy! Why are you still not moving?" The team member in charge of the entrance test on the opposite side saw Shen Yao not moving for a long time, with a cold face just staring at the bamboo sword in his hand, not even bothering to lift his head, as if he was looking at him. Completely dismissive.For Shen Yao's arrogant arrogance, he was angry from the bottom of his heart.A man who licks blood from the edge of a knife, how can he be expected to have a good temper, "Is he unable to move, grinding like a woman. If not, just go home and farm!"

His words immediately caused the onlookers to roar with laughter.

Hijikata Toshizo, who was in charge of verifying his eligibility to join the team, didn't smile.

Originally, as long as the captain nodded, Shen Yao could join the team, and there was no need for the deputy chief to do it himself.But the captain of the first team, Souji Okita, vomited blood and fell ill yesterday, and he is still forced to lie on the bed, so he did it for him.

In fact, don't look at Hijikata Toshisan's coldness that strangers should not enter, but in fact, he is also somewhat curious about what kind of swordsmanship Shen Yao can use with such an identity certificate.

Now seeing a man standing still for a long time with a sword in a posture that he has never seen before, like a layman, with a silhouette like a knife, he also frowned slightly.

what happened?Doesn't he know how to use a sword?

No, it's impossible, that adult will never make such a joke, even if Shen Yao has a special status.

There is no way, I can only say that for the sake of the national single men's kendo champion, the staff of the Shizhi government gave Shen Yao a forged identity that is properly worthy of the championship.

They never expected that this was a champion with a new core.

Seeing such a scene, I'm afraid those staff members who forged their identities will burst into tears.

She was said to be like a girl, but Shen Yao didn't have any turmoil in her heart. She said that she was a girl in the first place, so what's the matter with Moji, you must put on makeup when you go out, okay?No, it's okay to look for it!

It's a pity that after searching for a long time, Shen Yao raised her head with a calm expression, and saw that the opposite side was obviously quite impatient, and kept hitting the ground with the bamboo sword on the newly selected team member, "Go ahead."

She finally understood, it turned out that her instinct was to defend and counterattack (heavy fog), and it seemed that she could only let the opponent make the first move!

Shen Yao's voice is relatively low, with a flat voice and a cold and clear face. If it is changed to a different place, it will probably cause the girls to scream, but it is a pity that now, the team members on the opposite side only feel the provocation. A defiant provocation.

Uncle can bear and aunt can't bear it!

"Ah! Drink!" With a very imposing shout, the enraged team member struck out angrily. Even though he held a bamboo sword in his hand, he struck with a force like thunder.

In Japanese kendo, the word ki is the most important. Overwhelming opponents with momentum is the key to many swordsmen's victory even when their swordsmanship is not as good as others.If you lose in momentum, you will most likely end up miserable.

At the moment when the bamboo sword slashed her head and her life was hanging by a thread, Shen Yao moved. She did not retreat but advanced. The moment she stepped forward, she bent over and twisted her waist, and the bamboo sword in her hand pierced out at an incredible angle.

The team soldier held the bamboo sword and almost slashed it against Shen Yao's body. The sword was at the end, and when it was supposed to change its moves again, it was forced to stop at this moment, standing there in a stiff and weird posture. There, but dare not move a little bit.

Shen Yao lowered her body and held the sword behind her back. The tip of the bamboo sword happened to touch the soldier's throat almost dangerously.

The boy's eyes extending along the blade were as sharp as the tip of a knife.

This is what was forced to the extreme, naturally triggered, dozens of never-burning practice plus excellent talent, bred the swordsmanship that stands at the top of the country.

"You lost." Shen Yao turned back and retracted her sword, the expression on her face was still flat, she didn't feel any complacency as if she had won the match.

"Ah, um." The soldier then relaxed, took a step back, and withdrew his sword.

At that moment just now, the young man's aura changed suddenly, as if he had changed into a different person, but he was able to control others with his late hair.

It is obviously a completely different style, but this team member somehow feels like he is facing Souji Okita.

Is it because they are all young and tall?

Shaking his head, he threw out the strange thoughts in his mind. If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to justify. He is also an upright man. If you lose in swordsmanship, you will not lose in life.

"Very good," said Hijikata, who had been paying attention to the situation all the time, "Passed the team entry test." The deputy chief in black glanced at Shen Yao, and there was a little appreciation in his eyes.

This kid looks a bit like the chief executive.

It's just that he is more arrogant and colder than the chief executive, like a sword out of its sheath, overflowing with coldness and unparalleled sharpness, it's really hard not to appreciate it.

After passing the team entry test, Shen Yao can be regarded as officially joining the new selection team, and is assigned a team uniform and dormitory. Of course, in addition to this, she must be familiar with the rules of the game.

And the person who volunteered to take her along happened to be the one who fought her in the team test. The friendship between men (×) is so strange. Yao is very enthusiastic.

It made Shen Yao feel embarrassed.

But enthusiasm also has the benefits of enthusiasm. For this kind of straightforward guy, it is best to use clichés, and I am sorry that it does not affect Xi Jingyao's clichés from time to time.

Therefore, Shen Yao followed the team member around the Shinsengumi's station, asking about the situation quietly, hiding what she really wanted to know in her inevitable curiosity about the newcomers of the Shinsengumi, such as Yamato keeps stability.

As for the few remaining people who could stand up at the Ikeda House, Shen Yao said that Director Kondo and Captain Okita knew each other, so what about the other team member?

"Oh, talk about him," the man gave Shen Yao a pseudonym that was definitely not Yamato Shou Anding. In this regard, Shimizu and Yamato Shou Anding still won't have an IQ offline. "He just joined the team not long ago. He is good at swordsmanship, he is very polite and polite to people, and he is also cautious, but he is too cautious, and he doesn't like to talk much at ordinary times. Why did you think of asking him?"

"He's good at swordsmanship," Shen Yao continued with the thought of using the ready-made people for nothing, and returned to her indifferent youthful appearance, "I want to compete with him." Very good, if you join the team soon and don't attract much attention, It seems that Yamato Mamoru Anding and Shimizu haven't had time to interfere with history, but I'm afraid that now that Souji Okita is sick, the two will not be able to resist.

"This is easy," the man patted Shen Yao's shoulder familiarly, "Sinsengumi doesn't say anything else, this will definitely satisfy you, you can compete with anyone you want."

Shen Yao nodded and thanked the man.

"There's nothing to be thankful for," the man waved his hand indifferently, "You'll know about it after you stay for a long time. But one thing to note is that private fights in the Shinsengumi are strict, and I don't think you will agree to the consequences of violating it." I will try it." Even that person showed a rather indescribable expression.

Shen Yao knew that the Shinsengumi's rules were strict, so she didn't take it seriously, "I see, thank you."

The man scratched his hair in embarrassment. The Shinsengumi are all rogues from the bottom, most of them don't pay much attention to etiquette, and they are used to speaking vulgarly and casually. The young boy thanked him again and again, and he was at a loss. "Don't thank me." He paused for a moment, afraid that Shen Yao would be disappointed, and immediately added, "It doesn't matter if you have a competition, as long as it's in the dojo. Here, we usually practice together, when he comes back, you can try it next time."

"Come back?" Shen Yao keenly grasped the key words, "Isn't he in the Shinsengumi?"

"Yes, but his situation is quite special. Both his parents died under the knife of Langshi, and he lived alone with his younger brother. After entering the Shinsengumi, he couldn't take his younger brother with him, so he put his younger brother in foster care with someone else's house. , Today he specially took half a day off to see his brother."

"He has a younger brother?" Shen Yao casually asked.

"Yeah, he is very kind to his younger brother, and he often visits his younger brother, yes, the two brothers depend on each other for life." The man was straightforward, so he said something, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked anyone else in your family yet." ?”

"Me?" Shen Yao was almost suppressed from laughing, but she couldn't hold back, "I have a grandpa in my family."

"Oh, grandpa, haha." The man was actually just asking casually, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Yao's sentence.

Shen Yao suppressed a smile and nodded slightly with a cold face.

But that wasn't the only thing that made her happy.

The younger brother of Yamato Shou'an, Shen Yao felt that she seemed to know where Qing Shui was.

Just when Shen Yao painstakingly mixed into the Shinsengumi, in a small courtyard not far from the Shinsengumi's residence, as expected by Shen Yao, the god judge Shimizu was there.

Yamato's security is indeed very cautious. Even when he reached the gate of the yard, he looked around and opened the door to enter the house after there was no one following him.

There was no one in the house, and the family who fostered Qing Shui worked outside during the day, leaving Qing Shui alone at home.

Seeing Yamato Shou An Ding enter the house, Shimizu, who was practicing calligraphy in the house, threw down his pen and ran over, "An Ding is back."

When Yamato Shou'an saw his master, he immediately let go of all his defenses and hugged the little child in his arms. The boy with the ponytail had a bright smile on his face, "Did the master study hard today?"

"Of course." Qing Shui puffed out his chest proudly, "I complete the tasks assigned to me by the song fairy every day." Without slacking off, Qingshui naturally developed very good study habits.

Hearing the lord mentioned Kasen Kanesada, Yamato Mamoru's expression darkened slightly, "Master, I'm sorry, other companions..." The other companions were all left in the main pill.

Yamato Shou Anding was interrupted by Shimizu in the middle of his words, "An Ding, you don't need to say more, I know what you mean. Even if I don't bring you to the end of the Bakumatsu, other people," young children, even if they are small The adult's appearance couldn't help showing a sad expression, "I won't be able to see other people soon either." The staff of the Government of Time had already informed him of the deadline for this dismissal, so even if he didn't bring Yamato Shou Anding came to the end of the Bakumatsu, and he will not stay in Honmaru for a few days.Therefore, he doesn't blame Yamato Shou'an at all, it's because he himself can't stay in Honmaru, stay with Zu Ren.

Yamato Moran put down the clear water on the side of the corridor, watched the little child sit up, and then squatted in front of the master, "But, if it wasn't for me, I will see you again when the master becomes an adult." They all know the government's policy this time, and the staff have explained it patiently and meticulously, so there is no ambiguity or misunderstanding.

The young god judge waved his hand quite imposingly, "There are more than eight years until I become an adult, who knows what will happen in these eight years. Maybe, in these eight years, I will also be with you." Like my parents..."

This time, Mamoru Yamato interrupted Shimizu's words, and the anxiety in his eyes was not faked at all, "No, the master will definitely live a long life with Okita-kun together."

To this day, Yamato Shou Anding still clearly remembers the young child who was sent to Honmaru, who lost his parents due to an accident, the master who is smarter than others, and the little face who already understands human affairs is full of stubbornness, Strictly follow Fox's instructions to forge swords and dispatch them to battle.

But such a master will always cry alone in a place where there is no one with the blade on his back.

Once, another person hid and secretly wiped the tears of Qingshui, just happened to be bumped into by Yamato Moranden who was passing by, and he felt very distressed, but he was not as good at coaxing children as Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada or Utasen Kanesada, and the master himself was stubborn After being seen by him, he immediately wiped away his tears, pretending that he had never cried, but his red eyes and nose revealed the truth just now.

At that time, Yamato kept his peace and could only carry his little master on his back, walking around Honmaru while talking.Yamato Morita told him about Shinsengumi and Okita Souji. He didn't speak passionately or impassionedly, but the genius swordsman with a clear and bright smile in his story remained deeply in Shimizu's mind.Until the child, who was actually tired from crying, fell asleep on Yamato Shou'an's shoulder.

Since then, Shimizu has often asked Yamato Morita to tell him the story of the end of the Tokugawa period, and in this narration again and again, Yamato Morita and Okita Souji have become special existences for Shimizu.

Shimizu, who grew up gradually, knew Yamato Shou'an's knot in his heart. He wanted to make Yamato Shou'an happy and happy, and he also wanted that young man with a sunny smile who died young to live in peace.

Although, the swordsmen all told him that he was a god judge and he wanted to lead them to guard history.This is his and their unshirkable responsibility.

Little Qingshui didn't want to disappoint them, he nodded vigorously and told them that he knew.But he has never understood why history cannot be changed. If the result of changing history is to make everyone happy, then it should be changed. Since history makes people sad and sad, then it is right to correct it.

Maybe, after changing history, he will never have to lose his parents again, and they will be together forever as a family.

Therefore, after the time government made the decision to dismiss their group of god-inspectors, Shimizu made up his mind to bring Yamato Shou'an to the end of the Bakumatsu, and change the history of Okita Souji and Shinsengumi.

And the reliance on saving Okita Souji is the special medicine they brought to the end of the Bakumatsu this time.

So as soon as they arrived at the end of the Bakumatsu, Shimizu let Yamato Shou Anding sneak into the Shinsengumi, waited for the Ikedaya incident, and handed the medicine to the sick Okita Souji.

Although Shimizu wished to give Souji Okita the medicine before he got sick, it was really difficult.

What medicine do you take if you are not sick? Is it prevention?

Souji Okita would think they were crazy.

But speaking of Okita Souji's illness...

Shimizu asked his own knife with a serious face, "An Ding, did Mr. Okita fall ill yesterday according to historical records?"

Yamato Mamoru changed his posture, knelt down in front of his young master, "Yes, last night, Okita-kun fell ill." Just yesterday, all the blood in Ikedaya was not as shocking as the blood spit out by Okita-kun.

Shimizu nodded, took out a bottle of medicine from the room, and handed it to Yamato Mori Anding, "Anding, this medicine, find a way to give it to Okita-kun, and make sure he takes it on time every day."

Of course Yamato Moran Ding knew what medicine the master gave him. He took the medicine silently, but did not put it away immediately, but held the medicine bottle, "Master, if you do this, history... will change."

Qing Shui grimaced, "An Ding, haven't we already agreed, why must we protect such a sad history."

"But..." Yamato Shou'an was still hesitant. As the sword Fusangshen, they were given the responsibility of guarding history the moment they were awakened. Doing so now is violating his responsibility and mission.

Although, when the master brought it up at the end of the Bakumatsu, Yamato Mamoru was also overjoyed, but when he calmed down, he could not forget the responsibility and mission of being a swordsman.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Qing Shui covered the medicine bottle with both hands and held it tightly, "You will be happy, Okita-kun." Taking a deep breath, Qing Shui's eyes were firm, "We are too."

After being given a sip of poisonous chicken soup, Yamato Shou'an, who felt much better, finally nodded and took the medicine.

Seeing Yamato's steady movements, Shimizu showed a relaxed smile.

Finally, the first step has been taken!

After talking about the business about Okita Souji, Yamato Mamoruan inevitably mentioned to his master Shen Yao who appeared at such a strange time.

"Do you doubt that he is someone sent by the government of time?" Qing Shui immediately heard the problem, or, although he felt that he did nothing wrong, he was brought up with a formal education anyway, so he still had a feeling of inevitability. Little classmate Shimizu, who felt like doing something bad, subconsciously thought that it was for them.

"It doesn't look like it." Yamato Shou'an thought for a moment, "He has an official identity," so no one can compare to the government for forging this kind of thing. Of course, when it is not necessary, the government of time will not do this Do, so even the Sword Fusangshen and God Judges don't know that the Government of Time still has such unrighteous means, "And, if it is the God Judge sent by the Government of Time, they will definitely carry swords The man came out, but he didn't see the shadow of other blades." It is impossible to let the judge go out alone.

Qing Shui thought about it seriously, "Whether it's true or not, it's never wrong to pay more attention to him." The so-called would rather kill by mistake than let it go, it's always right to keep an eye on him.

"I will. Master, please be careful of your safety." In Kyoto at the end of the Bakumatsu, after the Shinsengumi patrolled, the law and order had improved a lot, but Yamato could not be completely at ease.

"Haha, don't worry, this place is so close to the Shinsengumi residence, I'm fine even if I'm alone, besides, there are uncles and aunts." The people in this foster family are very simple and kind, "You just come back when you have time. When you are fully familiar with the Shinsengumi, you can bring me in too. I can also do clerical work." Xiao Shimizu said quite sensible.

Yamato Moran Ding held his master's little hand and nodded heavily.
