The Inquisitor is the Demon King

Because of insufficient military expenditures, Keisuke Ohtori proposed to charge the citizens of Hakodate with a huge burden of "protection fees" in the name of "war donations", but Toshizo Hijikata directly stood up and strongly opposed it.

"Doing this is any different from the militaristic civilian government! Even if the military government may not be able to support it anymore, we can't blackmail the citizens under clever pretexts! We absolutely can't let such a stigma go down in history and be reviled by others."

Hijikata Toshizo on the stage was impassioned, and many people showed expressions of admiration.This idealistic bushido spirit, exaggerated by Hijikata Toshizo's majestic aura, could easily infect the hearts of everyone present.

Otori Keisuke could only give up.

"What a nice man." Oda Komyo commented.

"Yes, Mr. Hijikata is a real samurai." Yaken Toshiro nodded.

"If it weren't for other mediocre people to drag him down, it is still unclear who will win the battle between the shogunate and the emperor." Oda Shinyo shrugged and said, "Speaking of which, his two swords are also fusangshen."

"Yes, Izumi Mori Kanesada and Horikawa Kunihiro." Yaken Fujishiro said.

At night, the lights are like beans.

Hijikata Toshizo was reading under the lamp, and the back door was opened.He didn't look up, because there was only one person in the entire Ezo Republic who would do that.

"Yo, reading a book." Oda Kinyo said.

"Yeah." Hijikata Toshizo said.

"Good habit, really a cultured person." Oda Shinyo said, "I heard that Guan Yu studied every night during the Three Kingdoms period, so he missed Cao Cao's beauty trick."

"Guan Gong has both loyalty and righteousness, he is a person whom we warriors admire very much." Hijikata Toshizo said.

"Then what if a beautiful woman comes over while you are studying? Will you continue to read the book without turning your eyes?" Oda Shinyo walked to him, or sat directly on the table in front of him.This is of course a rather ambiguous pose. The legs in black military trousers are stacked, and the bottom of the golden boots are against his legs... very tempting.

"I'm not a person who doesn't understand style." Hijikata Toshisan also put his arms around her waist and said.

"I thought you would be more upright and dull." Oda Shinyo said.

Hijikata Suisan smiled, but did not speak.

Under the lights, he no longer had the sharp and cold look he had at the military meeting during the day, but became a little softer.But still handsome.

She leaned over, and he let her approach.When the distance between the two was a little dangerous, he suddenly let go of his hand and said, "...Miss Jindai, what are you doing here tonight?"

She clapped her hands and jumped off the table, feeling a little pity, "I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm here to say goodbye to you."

"When is the next time we meet?" Hijikata Toshizo asked.

Oda Komyo's eyes darkened, and he said, "There will be no next time."

Hijikata Toshisan nodded, "I see, I will die in the coming war."

"Well." Oda Komyo said, "The emperor's power has been established, and the shogunate is hard to support. Through today's meeting, you also know the current situation of the Ezo Republic."

"There is no need to pass today's meeting... I always knew it." Hijikata Toshizo said, "It's just a temporary ship, and sooner or later it will be overturned by the waves of generations."

"You want to be buried?" she asked.

"For the general." Hijikata Toshizo replied.

"I heard that the French emperor hoped that you would be willing to go into exile in France, and he gave you the position of commander of the French army division." She said.

"Everyone in the Shinsengumi has died loyally," Hijikata Toshizo smiled, "How can I live?"

His smile is very natural, as if he is talking about ordinary trivial matters.

The night is deep.

"Treasure." After Oda Komyo finished speaking, he gave Hijikata Toshizo a deep look, then turned and left.

The moonlight was like water outside, she walked on the gravel road and looked back.

Through the light, the tall and straight figure of Hijikata Toshisan was outlined. He was not reading a book, but looking at his saber.

This is Oda Komyo's last memory of Hijikata Toshizo.

On May [-]th of the second year of Meiji, Hijikata Toshizo fought against the Emperor's army in order to rescue the old deployment of the Shinsengumi, and was finally hit by stray bullets and died.

——And the one who shot him was one of his own.

Excessive uprightness and not being in the same boat with everyone... will always cause a lot of dissatisfaction among "companions".Or kill this celebrity to become a stepping stone to surrender. In short, the facts are there, and there may be many reasons.

When Oda Jindai thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Hijikata is three years old.
