The Inquisitor is the Demon King

01.

It was dusk after Oda Kindai was released on bail (…), and it was raining, pattering, Hijikata Toshiro or Hijikata Toshizo leaning on the corridor to smoke, his expression was indifferent, blending in with the autumn rain Like a place.

"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Suisan." Oda Shinyo raised his hand to greet him.

"It's nothing." He retracted his gaze and said, "If you reveal your identity as a god judge, you will be able to come out without any problems."

"This time, he sneaked out, so it's not convenient to reveal his identity." Oda Shinyo said.

"Oh." The other party said calmly.

"So thank you anyway," she added.

In fact, another reason is that if her appearance here is recorded in the archives, it may also have some additional impact on the previous celestial events on the next-door planet.After all, she was caught for the crime of destroying public property with an aircraft.This means that she has been on a spacecraft recently, and what's more, it can be directly found out that she has been to the next planet.

The incident of the beating of the heavenly beings over there has become an uproar, and she has heard of it on Earth.

After she thought of this, she added, "I didn't mean to trouble you."

"I didn't mean that." Toshiro Hijikata frowned, which made his expression look a little fierce and gloomy, "Actually, I have always wanted to say, why since I met you in this world, I feel that you are very See you outside?"

See you outside?Oda Komyo laughed, "This is the first time someone says I'm an outsider, and they all say I'm too familiar."

The relationship this time was much more natural than the last time. In the last time, Hijikata Toshisan was so excited that he couldn't control his own emotions, and said a lot of very blunt words.

This is also unavoidable, after all, I just absorbed the soul fragments of that world, and a large amount of memories and emotions poured in at once, which naturally had a great impact on me.

——After all, what he fuses is not only memory, but also soul fragments.

Objectively speaking, this brought the strength of the cadres of the Zhenxuan Group to another level.

"Self-familiar"?This term is actually not appropriate to describe Oda Jindai.She may seem enthusiastic towards everyone on the surface, but in fact she doesn't pay attention to anyone.Hijikata Toshizo could feel that way.

She is proud, powerful, and majestic when she is serious.That kind of trembling power always makes it easy for people to ignore her appearance and age. In fact, it's not that she ignores it, but that she doesn't dare to think about what it means.

But Hijikata Toshizo has also seen her feminine side.He even got closer to her. On the night of parting in the Ezo Republic, his fingers touched her waist. If he continued, he didn't know if she would refuse, but he knew, except Momentary pleasure is meaningless.

So he rejected her that day.

What if it happens again?

Hijikata Toshizo, or Hijikata Toshiro, can clearly feel the answer surging from the depths of his heart.

A woman like Oda Jinyo cannot be owned by the deputy director of the Shinsengumi Hijikata Toshizo.He has already seen his own future, not to mention real happiness, he can't even give her false happiness.

Although people like Oda Komyo, if they are really in love and together, she will not wait for the man to give her something, she will go over and ask for it.

But Hijikata Toshisan was still unwilling.

Even if he is a man with a lot of beauty, even if he is a regular customer of an izakaya, he may be romantic, but he is by no means unruly. On the contrary, he himself is a very, very principled person.

Maybe he thought too much.After Oda Kinyo left that night, he stared at Horikawa Kunihiro and thought.

Getting along day and night, accompanying him through the dawn and dark night, the death of teammates, the departure of best friends, the rupture of the shogunate... She witnessed his glory and decline, even if there was no comfort - of course he didn't need it - but the company itself It's just a symbol.

It is very sad that the love of children is influenced by troubled times.

But a man like him would kill it straight away when it first sprouted.

Is this sad?

No, it's sensible.

But now he is not Hijikata Toshisan, he is no longer the samurai who had no choice but to die for his country in the chaotic world.He is Hijikata Toshiro, no matter how the current environment is, it is far better than Hijikata Toshisan's time.

So some things don't need to be so decisive.

So there are some things that you can try to own and ask for.

Thinking of this, Hijikata Shirō put out the cigarette in his palm, and then walked up to her.

Gray clouds covered the gloomy sky, the rain became lighter, and even the pattering sound disappeared. Looking up, it was hard to tell whether it was smoke or rain.

The wind is very refreshing, and the feeling of blowing on the face and arms is very comfortable.

This rain brings warmth in loneliness.

In such a situation, Hijikata Toshiro stood in front of Oda Shinyo, ready to speak.

Then Oda Komyo took the lead and said in a rather subtle tone: "This is a public, what are you going to do to me?"

There was no atmosphere for a second.

Comparable to Tatsuma Sakamoto.

"...What on earth are you pretending to be in your mind?" Hijikata Toshiro said speechlessly.

"Probably yellow waste." After she finished speaking nonchalantly, she saw Hijikata Toshiro's stunned expression, and quickly changed the subject: "Maybe you saw me at work before."

"What?" Toshiro Hijikata asked.

"Ah, you just said that I feel different from before. So I think it may be because you saw me at work before. At work, I am very dedicated and abide by my responsibilities." Weaving Tian Jindai explained.

So, at work, you are so full of nasty jokes and flirting with historical figures... Is this the so-called fulfillment of duty?Toshiro Hijikata thought blankly.

"It's more about not caring, so you can do whatever you want." She continued, "but it's different now."

But it is different now, after all, we are in the same world now, so I start to really care about it.

Ahh, she actually said it, about her not caring about her past self.Suddenly there is a feeling of heartache, because of her indifference in the past, and also because of her calmness now.

"Isn't it good for me to say that?" Oda Komyo also realized that her language was wrong, and then she asked.

"You still know it's wrong?" Hijikata Toshiro said.

Oda Komyo said awkwardly: "Hehehe."

——What’s so embarrassing about saying “hehehe”?

——The embarrassing thing is the bystanders, okay?

"But it should be okay, you are a very rational person, yes, of course you also have an emotional side, but that will not be given to me." Oda Komyo said, "So everyone is happy about some things. Heh, it’s over in the past, after all, the result is good now. For example, my “don’t care” about you, a historical figure, is gone.”

Hijikata Toshiro also understood what she meant.

——She began to really care about him as a person.

In any case, being said that by a beautiful girl gave me a sense of satisfaction.

"Are you happy to hear me say that?" Oda Komyo leaned his head over and asked curiously.

Toshiro Hijikata took a step back calmly, and then said, "You're too close."

"So I'm not the only one who has changed." Oda Shinyo shrugged and said, "In that world, although I don't say I accept it readily, it's not so... um...too serious, right?"

That's because Lao Tzu is still a virgin in this world.

——Of course, Toshiro Hijikata couldn’t say that.

"Because there was no tomorrow at that time, so I can do everything I want to do today without any regrets." Hijikata Shiro said, "But it's different now. I have to think about the future in everything I do."

"Sounds so annoying." Oda Shinyo said.

"But in that world, this is a rather luxurious trouble." Hijikata Shiro said.

"So you keep yourself clean so that you don't hang out in izakaya and don't get close to women?" Oda Shinyo said, "It's also pretty good."

In fact, Toshiro Hijikata wanted to open his mouth and say that the point is not this, the point is "considering the future", or more specifically, considering the future related to her.

In fact, this sentence has a slightly different meaning.

However, Goose Oda Kinyo didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't take it to heart, but his expression was as usual.

"Okay, the guy who went in with me can be ignored, someone will come to redeem him." Oda Shindai said, "Thanks this time, I'll go first."

"I'll see you off," Hijikata Toshiro said.

"Yeah." Oda Shinyo nodded.

Two umbrellas move in the rain.

It is inevitable to meet other team members in the village, and everyone stops their work to salute and say hello.

"Deputy Chief."

"Good afternoon, Deputy Chief."

"Hello Deputy Chief."

Toshiro Hijikata nodded in agreement with a cold expression.He has always been a serious and indifferent image to the outside world, and Oda Kinyo thought so before, but when he asked her to save the Shinsengumi cadres, this image broke.

It should be cold outside and hot inside.

On the contrary, Souji Okita is a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside.

It's hard to say which is more terrifying, the former or the latter, because Hijikata Toshisan's coldness to the outside world is also real.

——Those who violate the law in the game will be cut into seppuku.

- Betrayer, seppuku.

Even when facing his former colleagues, his tone was not trembling at all. Even when the commander-in-chief Yamanan Keisuke defected, he mercilessly ordered seppuku.He tortured some of the captives. According to records, "spectators looked sideways at them, and the soldiers did not dare to stare at them."

If Isamu Kondo is the director of the Shinsengumi, but the soul of the Shinsengumi is Toshizo Hijikata, he can be regarded as the shadow emperor.

He is a terrible man, but also a very good man.

As a companion, he is quite reliable.

——Hijikata Suisan.

"If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come here to play." Hijikata Toshiro said.

"Do you have so much time?" Oda Shinyo asked suspiciously, "I used to see you often correcting official documents until late at night."

"There is always time to be with the savior," Hijikata Shiro said.

Coming out of the station, after a simple conversation between the two, Oda Kindai felt strange emotions again.

In the historical fragment, she is actually quite happy that she can talk to those famous people.It brings a little admiration, and it is inevitable, even a little more idol halo.She admired, admired, revered, and even made physical contact with them or made dirty jokes with them, all with a sense of novelty.

But now he, Hijikata Toshisan, was standing beside him, chatting with him about everyday things.It's like breaking the dimensional wall...well, that feels like that.

"Are you holding on to this?" Oda Shinyo poked his arm and said.

"Then what should I say? Although I'm busy, I still have time to spend with women?" He asked back.

"Okay... let's not talk about this, don't always say that I am a lifesaver, I have already said that I have a purpose, and I am embarrassed to ask you for being so sincere." Oda Shinyo said .

"Because life cannot be equated with anything, life is unique." Shiro Hijikata said.

"You make me feel even more ashamed." Oda Shinyo sighed.

"so……"

"So I may have changed from asking happily to asking shamefully," Oda said.

——So what is the difference, dear? !

A few gags were made, but Hijikata Toshiro did not cooperate.He also has this temperament, and Oda Jinyo is used to it.

After saying goodbye to him, Oda Shinyo was ready to return to Honmaru. After she was caught, she directly let Yamabukiri Nagayoshi change back to the body sword state and wore him with her.

At the gate of the Shinsengumi's settlement, Hijikata Toshiro stood in the rain with an umbrella in his hand. The rain fell on the ground and splashed a layer of water, which wet his trousers.There is his reflection on the smooth floor, he stands upright, holding a black umbrella, looking a little lonely in the rain.

It always rains.Nasty season.

It reminds him of Hakodate, where it often rains.

Even the day he died.
