[Comprehensive] Winter Feast

Yae was speechless for a moment because of the girl's nerves, and then felt that she was cute and straightforward.

So Yae laughed, not forgetting the environment she was in while laughing, and she showed a silent smile.

At the same time Yae stretched out his hand to cover the silly girl's mouth.

After breaking away from the chaos of the restrained flow, I can see the light again, and the numbness that I can't feel in the limbs has disappeared, but the pain still clings to the body, and the power consumed when traveling through time and space is indeed lost.At this time, Yae was definitely weak, but she covered the girl's mouth and listened intently to the approaching footsteps, she was surprisingly not afraid.

why?

Probably because no matter how powerful the opponent is, they are still human beings.

Even though Yae's experience is not very rich, the degree of danger is indeed far more than that of humans with weapons in their hands.

So, in the eyes of the young girl disguised as a man——Yukimura Chizuru, this luxuriously dressed girl who doesn't fit in the back alleys in which she lives is not only extremely beautiful, but also possesses an incredible calmness.

Because her father is a doctor, Yukimura Chizuru has seen many people of all kinds, so she can judge that the girl's calmness is not due to ignorance and fearlessness, but comes from a well-thought-out plan.

Under the moonlight, the beautiful young girl who seemed to have stepped out of an ancient picture scroll focused on her face. She had a weak appearance, but her eyes were so bright that they were almost sharp.

Looking at Yae's profile, Yukimura Chizuru's heartbeat from running could not be slowed down by the stillness of her body, and she even felt her face was hot.

Yae felt the temperature of the skin under her palm rise, because she couldn't bring up too much tension, so although the footsteps were very close, she still paid attention to it.

The young girl whose mouth was covered by her blushed, and the moonlight dimmed in her big and round eyes, which instantly made Yae understand what is meant by deer-like eyes.

There were two people chasing after them. They searched the two alleys in opposite directions, and at the same time said arrogantly, "That kid must not be able to run far", with a smile in their voices, completely bullying the weak bully look.

The shadow of the visitor had already reflected on the wall opposite the alley, Yae lightly put the dagger in his arms on the ground, and freed his hand to silence Chizuru Yukimura.

Yukimura Chizuru nodded obediently, and after Yae let go of her hand covering her mouth, she bit her lip for fear of making a sound.

Suddenly, there was a scream in the alleyway on the other side.

The ronin who had already reached the barrel called his companion's name, drew his sword and walked there.

Xuecun Qianhe's expression was uncertain. On the one hand, he was glad to have escaped, but on the other hand, the scream aroused new worries.

Yae shook her head at her, held down her trembling hand holding the handle of the knife, and mouthed: "I'll do it."

Yukimura Chizuru hesitated for a moment, then let go of the handle obediently, allowing Yae to reach out and hold the knife that meant a lot to him.

The people in the alleyway on the other side were no longer just screams.

The ronin who was looking for his companions shouted and cursed loudly, and the sound of weapons intersecting showed that the two groups at the other end had already exchanged hands.Another wave of forces that appeared at some point was very strange. They didn't make a sound to explain why they attacked the ronin, but they didn't completely keep silent. They were laughing, a kind of crazy, inhuman laughter.

After the sound of a sharp weapon cutting into the flesh, the maniacal laughter stopped suddenly, and Ronin's heavy breathing came out prominently.His voice had reached the alley where Yae and the others were hiding, and two shadows appeared on the opposite wall.

Ronin held a knife in front of him with both hands, while the man opposite him touched his chest with his hands, and then spread his palms in front of his eyes.

Obviously, it was the ronin who chopped up the opponent just now, and the person who was chopped was checking the injury.

He stopped attacking just by slashing the opponent, and this ronin didn't look like a vicious person.

Yae thought so, and slowly pulled out Yukimura Chizuru's knife.No matter what the situation was, the two men with knives were too close to them, and the scene gave Yae a sense of familiarity.

At the same time that the light of the knife was reflected in the eyes of Xuecun Qianhe, the crazy laughter sounded again, and it was more permeating than before.

Stimulated by the blood, the knife-wielder who was slashed broke out with terrifying fighting power, and directly stabbed the ronin right through.

Ronin fell to the ground after a scream, and the knife that pierced his body was pulled out by the other party, blood spurted out, and the laughter became louder and more crazy.

Shuffling footsteps approached with laughter, Yae and Yukimura Chizuru saw the murderer.

The man was wearing a light onion-colored haori, with white hair and red eyes.

More monsters than monsters.

Yae drew his sword out of its sheath, and when the other party looked at her and Chizuru Yukimura, he took an attacking posture without haste.

New group.

This word came out of his mind, and Yae bent the corner of his mouth a little bit amusedly, and then threw himself out with all his might.

Even if the demon power is exhausted, the lessons at Kuchiki's house and the teachings of Sanriyue finally gave her another strength to rely on.

Now that he has changed from a human to a monster, then killing him is not considered a crime, right?

Yae thought so, and pointed the blade at the heart of the monster on the other side.

But at the moment when the blade pierced the clothes on the opponent's chest, and the feeling of the sword sinking into the flesh and blood reached his hand, Yae stopped.

This pause was far more dangerous than the pause when Yukimura Chizuru was looking for a hiding place.

Yae couldn't do it.

Under the blade is a warm, human body, even though it has been alienated.

Yae actually knew that the alienated samurai in front of him wearing Shinsengumi feathers was actually similar to Sensei Ji.But she wanted a way to vent, the unacceptable identity, the collapsed Honmaru, the sealed past, and the unresponsive Mikazuki Zongjin, all of which weighed on her heart, almost made people crazy.

But after all, Yae still doesn't want to disappoint Abe Seimei, Yuan Hiroya, and those who are watching her with concern.

Benefiting from a speed much higher than that of a human, Yae withdrew the knife, flipped his wrist, and slapped the enemy's side neck with the back of the knife.

The members of the Shinsengumi who became monsters after drinking the water still maintained their human physiological functions. After being hit hard on the neck, they were obviously stunned, and their bodies shook, as if they were about to fall down.

There were more than one berserk monsters. Before the threat on this side was resolved, the one on the other side rushed up with a knife.

Yae's pupils shrank, no matter how fast she was, she couldn't care about both ends.

The second monster's knife fell towards the top of Yae's head, and Yukimura Chizuru let out a scream.

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.

The monster's movements stopped suddenly, and a sharp knife protruded from its chest.

Yae turned to escape.

Then she saw the man behind the monster.

It's also a member of the Shinsengumi wearing a light onion haori, but the member wearing a white scarf is obviously conscious, he still maintains the thrusting movement, and he is aware of Yae's gaze, and looks away at her One glance, the eyes are cold and sharp.

The Shinsengumi member with a cold expression put away his knife, and the monster's body fell to the ground.

He drew the knife with his left hand.

So Yae confirmed his identity, the cadre of the Shinsengumi, Saitoichi.

Yae looked at him for a while, and seeing that he didn't speak or move any more, he slowly walked back to Yukimura Chizuru.

The girl disguised as a man in the corner was trembling, and seemed to have lost the strength to stand up.

Yae handed the knife back to her, Yukimura gave her a slightly shy look, took the knife and put it back into the scabbard.

At the same time, another figure turned in from the alley.

"Beautiful skill."

The chestnut-haired, delicate-looking young man said so, with a smile on his mouth and a friendly voice, but the danger Yae felt from him was not weaker than that of the expressionless Saito.

Presumably this is the famous Okita Souji.

Raksha, who was hit on the side of the neck by eight heavy blows, staggered and stood still again. Souji Okita gave him a knife without blinking his eyes.

Yukimura Chizuru visibly shook, Yae took a step back and stood in front of her.

After working as a monster for a long time, I saw and heard a lot of tragedies. Two people were killed in front of them, but Yae was not too touched.

Just as Yae saw Yukimura Chizuru's disguise as a man at a glance, Saitoichi and Okita Souji also saw it. The two young women of similar ages behaved very differently, which made Yae different. After all, fear is normal.

Saito saw that there was some contemplation in Yae's eyes. Director Okita's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes did not leave Yae's body. He did not hide his vigilance at all, and kept pressing his hand on the handle of the knife.

The footsteps of the third person approached, and it was Toshizo Hijikata who had finished the finishing work and came to join him, the deputy chief of Oni of the Shinsengumi.

Director Okita raised his voice and asked him: "Deputy Chief, I was seen, what should I do?"

The Shinsengumi is not a team that kills innocent people indiscriminately. After a lot of harsh words, Hijikata Toshizo sent Yae and Yukimura Chizuru back to the Shinsengumi first, and then deal with it after the cadres have a meeting.

Knowing that she was safe for the time being, the terrified Yukimura Chizuru couldn't hold back and fainted, and Yae also swayed, stretching out her hand to support the wall so that she didn't fall down.

Okita Souji was carrying Yukimura on his shoulder, and he was surprised when he saw her action: "Eh? Wasn't it bold just now?"

Under the moonlight, Yae's face was pale. She didn't feel it when she was concentrating on it just now. Now she was relieved, and the pain on her body began to be unbearable again. She took a breath before speaking, but what she said was: "I want to vomit .”

The smell of blood was strong in the alley, and the three members of the Shinsengumi looked at each other, and their vigilance towards Yae was eased.

It was still dark when they returned to the garrison, and even the deputy chief of Oni could not drag the cadres out of the bed to interrogate the prisoners, so Yae and Yukimura Chizuru were ordered to stay in a certain room and not allowed to leave , awaiting arraignment.

The unconscious Yukimura Chizuru was directly tied up into rice dumplings, and the knife was taken away. Director Okita even sighed, "Good knife."

When he arrived at Yae's side, Hijikata Toshizo frowned and showed a difficult expression, because Yae's clothes were very luxurious, obviously her status was unusual, and she was a woman, and she didn't dress up as a man like Yukimura. It seemed out of place to be tied up.

Souji Okita leaned against the door frame with an amused expression on his face, while Saito stood in the corridor with half of his face buried in the scarf, expressionless on his face.

"Separate the two of them." Hijikata Toshizo decided, and he ordered Yae, "You, hand over the knife."
