Chapter 56 Goodbye!
55
However, before I had any other emotions in my heart, the black-haired boy threw himself into my arms with reddish eye circles.
The young man's unexpected move made me startled. He put his hands around my waist, rested his head on my shoulders and faced my neck, and rubbed his slightly long hair against my neck and face. I avoided it unconsciously, and then noticed his body trembling slightly.
Just like Ah Shi that night.
Still a child.
My heart softened a little, I stretched out my arms to hug the young man's thin waist, and patted him gently on the back.
"Owner……"
"Well, here I am."
"Am I... am I loved now?" He asked such words.
"Ah."
Then I felt another body stuck behind me, the shoulder on the other side sank slightly, and a stable voice came.
"Am I loved too?"
The boy's voice was like he was stroking the broken hair on my neck, bringing a little soft and numb feeling.
I blushed slightly, and tilted my head slightly, "Yeah."
I like clear light and stability.
Whether it's as the judge of their Honmaru or "A Chao", I like Qingguang and An Ding very much.
A little laughter escaped An Ding's mouth.
He opened his lips slightly, and was about to say something, when suddenly——
"Cough cough!"
Someone coughed.
The sound made me and Qingguang in front of me stiffen for a moment, and then we turned our heads to follow the source of the sound. Tsurumaru clenched his left hand and put it in front of his mouth—he was the one who coughed just now!
The young man was leaning against the door, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised behind his fist, as if he was smiling...?
I suddenly felt embarrassed and had a feeling of being caught - caught doing something bad.
Qingguang also agreed with my feelings. He retracted his hand in a panic, and released the form of him, me and Anding sandwich biscuits.However, An Ding was unmoved, and said with a smile what he planned to say just now, "Does Ah Chao mean that he likes Qing Guang as well as me?"
The words that appeared in my heart just now can't be said at all now.
I felt the stable and warm breath, as well as the burning eyes on the side and in the distance, and I lowered my head in embarrassment.
The question of stability seems familiar. It was after I lost my memory. He mistakenly thought that I gave them gifts to pursue them, so he asked the question "I like both of them?" How did I answer it at that time? with...?
like it all?
don't like it?
Can't remember at all.
No, no, it would be embarrassing not to say anything.
"I like Qingguang and Anding... and Tsurumaru very much."
As long as Tsurumaru is involved, it should be fine!
I sneaked a glance at Tsurumaru, and saw a smile suddenly blooming on his face, as sweet as honey, and my heart suddenly thumped.
No, no, the range needs to be bigger.
"I like the rest of Honmaru too!"
After answering like this, An Ding reluctantly let me go.
I brought Qingguang Anding into my room, along with Tsurumaru.
Kiyomitsu and Anda were sitting in front of me on the left and right, and Tsurumaru was sitting across from me.
As if treating Tsurumaru as an invisible person, Anding and Kiyomitsu told me what happened to them in recent days.
After returning from the Warring States Period, Mikazuki told the other people in Honmaru my identity, which caused a lot of commotion. "The god judge abandoned them" was just a lie for San Riyue and their consolation. The truth is that the god judge had died under the retrograde saber, but San Riyue told them that the god judge died, but survived in another form, that is, with The me they used to get along with.
After Kiyomitsu Andada learned of this, he went on an expedition with Tsurumaru to the Edo period, and it took him a while to scout before Tsurumaru found me.
Revisiting the truth, Qing Guang's eyes couldn't help dimming a bit, and the eye circles were still red.
"Owner……"
I heard a lot of meaning from this "Master", and my heart was touched, so I comforted him, "It's all right now."
"Don't call me master, just call me Ah Chao like before."
Qingguang whispered my name.
"Such a thing happened in a place we didn't know..."
"I didn't find out sooner... I'm sorry."
He has started to blame himself.
It's not Qingguang's responsibility.
"Don't apologize." I shook my head, "It's me who should blame myself for making you show such an expression."
And I'm here now.
Although the reason why I became like this is still unclear, but it doesn't affect anything. I am here now, with everyone, and I will live with you in the future.
As soon as the words fell, Tsurumaru and Anding on the side laughed without embarrassment, completely destroying the warm atmosphere between me and Kiyomitsu.
An Ding also covered her lips,
Tsurumaru Kuninaga didn't even cover his lips.
"Hahahaha, it's like romance—I didn't say anything."
I stared at Tsurumaru who was opposite, although he pretended to be cowardly and swallowed the next words, but he looked directly at me and blinked at me.
I coughed, "I'm now... I forgot what I was going to say."
I can't remember what I wanted to say before! !
Even Qingguang couldn't help laughing this time.
Really everyone! !
I stared at them one by one, staying on Tsurumaru for an extra long time.
The young man suppressed his smile, pointed at Qingguang Anding, "Why are you laughing? Didn't you see that A Chao was forgotten by all your laughing words?"
"Pfft, it's obviously Tsurumaru-san's fault."
"Mr. Tsurumaru laughed too?"
In such an atmosphere, although I had already thought of what I was going to say, I couldn't open my mouth anyway.
So I choose to stand in Qingguang Anding.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was isolated and helpless, was quickly defeated.
Looking at Tsurumaru like this, I couldn't help laughing, and then I saw the young man raised his eyes, and the golden eyes looked over with tenderness.
Tsurumaru's performance just now...was it to make me laugh?
This guess suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help feeling better.
Although Tsurumaru has set up an enchantment in my room, the outside world can't know what happened here-this is the reason why Naginata Midori never came, but Ashi couldn't stop knocking on the door to find me.
When the knock on the door rang, I subconsciously wanted to hide Kiyomitsu Anding and Tsurumaru.
But there is no place to hide in the house at all! ! ! !
In a panic, I noticed that Tsurumaru's eyes fell on my loose coat.
"No, no, I can't hide yours!"
I tightened my clothes and said to Tsurumaru.
Tsurumaru made a "poof", "I just took a look."
"Ah Chao don't need to be so nervous, it's not a big deal for Ah Shi to see the two of them."
Then the shoji door was pulled open, and Ah Shi appeared at the door, with a shocked expression frozen on his face.
I subconsciously held my breath.
As Ah Shi's beloved elder sister, there are three beautiful boys with beautiful food and delicious food in the room early in the morning... It would be bad if he wanted to mislead her...
"Brother Zong, Sojiro?!"
The boy cried out aloud.
The boy in blue haori turned his head when he heard the sound, his fluffy ponytail curled slightly in the air, and that delicate and lovely face was also exposed in front of Ashi - it was slightly similar to Okita-kun Although he has the same appearance, he is much more innocent and cute than Okita-kun.It's just that I noticed that An Ding's eyes lit up slightly when he heard the name "Sojiro".
Yes, Ashi recognized Anding as Okita-kun.
After all, stability is Okita-kun's sword.
Not only Yamato Shodo, but also California Kiyomitsu.
When I met Okita-kun for the first time, seeing his face, I had the illusion that it was a combination of Qingguang and stability.
But it is different after all, Okita-kun is Okita-kun, California Kiyomitsu is California Kiyomitsu, Yamato Shou Anding is Yamato Shou Anding.
"... Soujiro?"
Qing Guang read it again.
Ah Shi seemed to realize that he had identified the wrong person, but he still couldn't take his eyes off the two.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I got the wrong person... The brothers look a lot like Soujiro-san."
Ashi is very fond of Okita-kun, and this kind of favor is also transferred to Qingguang Anding who is similar to Okita-kun.
Compared with Tsurumaru, he accepted the existence of Kiyomitsu Anding more easily, and immediately sat down and talked with them. Of course, this can be seen from the fact that he called Kiyomitsu Anding Okita-kun "brother" but Tsurumaru "uncle" See out.
So Uncle Tsurumaru asked, "Sojiro Okita?"
"Hmph." Ahshi turned around, with his back to Tsurumaru.
Both Kiyomitsu and Anding were taken aback by the name "Soujiro Okita", and Anding looked at me subconsciously.
I nodded towards An Ning.
An Ding laughed, with a little longing and longing in his smile, "Mr. Okita."
Qingguang also bent his lips and smiled, "It is said that he looks like Okita-kun."
"Brothers, do you know Brother Sojiro?" Ashi's attitude towards Kiyomitsu Andan was completely different from that of Tsurumaru.
Seeing this, Tsurumaru looked at me with an aggrieved face.
I pretended not to see, and turned my head to watch Qing Guang Anding talk to Ah Shi.There was a rustling sound from the side, Tsurumaru slightly raised his clothes and sat down next to me.
I glanced at him and saw that there was a narrow smile in his eyes, so I didn't refuse.
"I know, Okita-kun is me—" An Ding's words came to an abrupt end.
"It's the object of our longing." Qingguang helped An Ding complete the second half of the sentence. Compared with "We are Okita-kun's saber", Qingguang's sentence is obviously better.
Hearing this, An Ding nodded vigorously, his yearning for Okita-kun was beyond words.
"I also like Brother Sojiro very much!" Ah Shi's eyes sparkled.
For Ashi, a little fan of Okita-kun, Anding can't help but like it a little bit, and the topic naturally changed from "Okita and Kiyomitsu Anding's portrait" to fancy boasting about Okita.
If given a certain amount of time, I think he will be able to sing Okita-kun's words continuously for an hour without repeating the same.
After all, Okita-kun is a very good person.
Thinking of Okita-kun, I can't help being moved.
Then Ashi brought the topic to me.
"When I grow up, I also want to be as handsome as Sojiro brother, and to be with a gentle girl like Asa sister!"
I couldn't help but feel a little shy to become the girl that Ashi said was gentle and wanted to marry, but deep down I was a little happy.
But there were three pairs of eyes looking over.
Being watched by everyone, I stammered and said, "I'm gentle, isn't this right?"
If someone says that I am not gentle, I will ignore him.
"No, no, Ah Chao is very gentle." Qing Guang coaxed me.
"It's not about this," An Ding said, "Ah Chao, you and Okita-kun... what kind of relationship is it?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, but An Ding's and Tsurumaru's eyes burned a little bit.
I pinched the corner of my clothes, and of course I chose to deny such words, "No, no, don't listen to Ah Shi's nonsense."
Ah Shi yelled: "I didn't talk nonsense."
I glared at Ashi, "Thanks to Ashi, I met Okita-kun who was playing with them, and we became good friends."
"That's it," An Ding's complexion softened slightly, his eyes sparkling, "Okita-kun really likes playing with these kids..."
Ah Shi murmured in a low voice, "But my brother often gave sister Ah Chao delicious food, and sister Ah Chao also gave my brother socks and gloves made by himself..."
"How do you know—" No, no, now is not the time to talk about that.I stopped talking in embarrassment, and I could feel the heat on my face without reaching out to touch it, "That, that doesn't mean anything..."
At this time, Qingguang Anding and the others stopped talking.
They were patronizing to watch Ahichi demolish me, and I turned to Tsurumaru for help.
"That's right, Ah Chao also often gives me personal items." Tsurumaru smiled with his face propped up.
Aichi continued to contradict Tsurumaru, "Hmph, it was Sister Achao who gave it to you because of her kindness. Brother Sojiro also gave Sister Achamo a hairpin, and Sister Achao accepted it."
I think I know why Ah Shi knows so many things... Grandma must have told Ah Shi.
Hearing this, Tsurumaru's expression remained unchanged, "Then what's the matter, Ah Chao's family still has a lot of hairpins and jewelry I gave you."
Ah Shi: "..."
I cover my face.
Ashi ran away resentfully.
Then Tsurumaru looked at me leisurely, with an idle smile on his face, "Achao."
"What, what?"
"Don't forget to give me the personal items you made yourself!"
Qingguang & An Ding: "Get lost."
So after Ashi ran out, Tsurumaru was also forcibly pushed out of my room by Kiyomitsu Anding.
"A Chao, you and Okita-kun...?" An Ding asked curiously.
I told Andyaki Kiyomitsu all the stories about me and Okita-kun since I came to this era—including the meeting at the Battle of Toba Fushimi three years later.The relationship between me and Okita-kun is determined by them. As for my thoughts towards Okita-kun... In front of Okita-kun's sword, even if I have a wicked heart, I can't express it.
An Ding began to look at me. It was the first time that the boy looked at me like this, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"What, what's wrong?"
"It's indeed the type that Okita-kun likes." An Ding mused.
"...???"
"I'm not joking," said An Ding, but he couldn't help laughing, the young man's smile was unbelievably good-looking, "It's not surprising that Okita-kun has a crush on you for a gentle and lovely person like Ah Chao Things. And things are like masters, we are Okita-kun's favorite sword, and the type we like is similar to that of Okita-kun."
Qing Guang responded with "hmm" a few times, raised his eyes a little shyly, and said nothing.
"In this way, it can be regarded as getting closer to Okita-kun."
Talking about the gossip between the long-awaited former owner and the current owner, Yamato Shou'an talked about it with eloquence.
"Besides, Okita-kun is a clean and self-conscious person. If it is a woman who does not like him, he will directly reject it without thinking about it. But if it is a woman who has a crush, he will become very serious. Judging from your description, Achao, on that night Afterwards, what Okita-kun did for you has already put you in his heart, and his attitude is quite serious~"
I covered my face again.
But the heart hesitated.
"Clap."
It seemed to be the sound of pebbles hitting the shoji door.
Knowing that Okita-kun reminded me of the stability of the pastry outside in this way, I stopped talking, subconsciously held my breath, and began to explore the situation outside.
"Is it Okita-kun?" Qingguang asked.
"I, I don't know..." An Ding tightened her hands.
"Want to go out and have a look?"
An Ding wanted to get up, but stopped, "I... really want to see Okita-kun."
"Ok?"
"But now...is it better to cover your face before going out?"
Me & Qingguang: "..."
When An Ding untied his hair tie, let his black hair hang down, and covered half of his face with a scarf, he slowly opened the door by pulling the barrier door. There was no Okita-kun outside the door, only sitting on a tree and throwing Tsurumaru Kuninaga playing with pebbles.
So it wasn't Okita-kun just now, but Tsurumaru's prank.
……
Ah Shi’s house obviously didn’t have enough rooms for Qing Guang to live in. Moreover, Ah Shi and grandma seemed suspicious of the people who came to see me one after another, and politely and tactfully said that there were not enough rooms.Then Qingguang Anding decided to go to a hotel, and when they left, they took Tsurumaru Kuninaga with them.
Naginata Green looked at their leaving backs and let out a "hum".
After Tsurumaru left, the influence of another self in me appeared again.
When I close my eyes, the scene before my death will appear in front of my eyes, and there will be a voice in my heart repeatedly saying that I want to change history. Only by putting my body and mind into one thing can I temporarily abandon it. These.
I chose to learn fencing with Naginata Midori.
For a weak woman like me, learning swordsmanship with Ah Shi is obviously a little bit reluctant, and I am not as energetic as a boy of this age in many aspects.
Although Naginata Midori agreed with my idea, he did not equate Oshi with me, and gave me a lot of relaxation.
I tried my best to practice within my ability, and took a nap aside when I was tired.
It was on such an afternoon that Okita-kun was brought back by Ashi with a smile.
Ashi said that Okita-kun came to play with them as usual, and because he couldn't see me, he asked a question, and Ashi invited him back home.
My body after exercising was a little chilled by the cold wind, but after seeing Okita-kun, my body suddenly warmed up again.
The scarf he knitted around me.
After hearing An Ding say that, now, this incident is enough to make me feel shy and embarrassed.
"Zone, Sojiro..."
"A Chao."
Different from my stammering voice, the young man's greeting voice was clear and smooth and natural.
It seems that I am very cautious.
But it was true. After that, the memory between Okita-kun's departure became blurred. I can't remember what Okita-kun said to me and what kind of expression he showed. I just remember that he seemed to ask me about sword training. things.
As soon as Okita-kun left, An Ding and Qing Guang arrived.
The simple and lovely face of the young man was full of satisfaction and joy of getting what he wanted.
I thought about it, "Anding, have you met Okita-kun?"
"Hmm!" An Ding's mouth curled up, "I watched Okita-kun walk by from afar."
Just walking over made him so happy, if it was meeting... he would be crazy happy.
I'm kind of looking forward to the day when Kiyomitsu Anding meets Okita.
Seeing Anding Qingguang's visit, Ashi greeted him and said a lot.
"Ah Xiang didn't come again today, she seems to be sick."
Among his many words, there was one sentence that caught my attention. Thinking of that lovely little girl getting sick again, I couldn't help but arouse the desire to visit her.
Ah Shi and other friends went to visit on my behalf.
"I don't know what the disease is... Ah Shi's mother won't let us visit."
"I sneaked out of Ah Xiang's room once. The smell of medicine was very strong, and she coughed very badly... as if, as if she wanted to cough up her heart and lungs."
I fell silent.
My subconscious mind told me that Ah Xiang's illness was not simple.
After a few days, Ah Shi came back with tears in his eyes, and the little man was sobbing, speechless.
"Ah Xiang, she... Axiang, she... tuberculosis..."
Bad premonition became reality.
It wasn't just me, An Ding who happened to be beside me at this time also froze.
this disease...
It is terminally ill now that medical means are not developed.
People who have tuberculosis can only die.
I couldn't bear to close my eyes, and the image of the bottle of special medicine at the bottom of the burden suddenly came to my mind.
By the way, I still have special medicine...
But that's for Okita-kun...
An Ding's face darkened a little. He came to me many times in recent days. The most important reason was because of the existence of Okita-kun. As long as he looked at him from a distance, he felt very happy.But now Ah Xiang's illness dragged him out of happiness, and suddenly reminded him of his fate after Okita.
Cough, with blood.
I have also seen Okita-kun coughing up blood, it was a very distressing scene.
As Okita-kun's favorite sword, Yamato Mamoru must have seen no less than me, and he must also know the pain of Okita-kun.
Such a painful terminal illness can only be cured by the special medicine from modern times——
Ah Xiang's bright smile and Okita-kun's pale smile in the future appeared in his mind one after another.
My heart skipped a beat.
My eyes were fixed on An Ding, he regained his composure, and slowly raised his eyes to look at me, but his blue eyes were clear, as if he had seen through my thoughts.
I remembered again what Anding had said to me,
——"Okita-kun's fate cannot be changed...cannot let anyone be changed."
As if being scalded, I avoided An Ning's gaze.
The cold wind blew in through the open and closed door, blowing away all thoughts in the room.
Okita-kun's fate cannot be changed, what about Ah Xiang?
Is it Axiang's fate to get sick and die?
Even with the bottle of special medicine that can reverse their life and death, can I still do nothing?
Complicated thoughts filled my head, and another person in my body was constantly affecting me. My mood inevitably fell down. I watched Ashi cry because of Axiang's illness, and finally made a decision.
I want to visit Ah Xiang.
Hidden in the sleeve is the bottle of special medicine, which is heavy.
Ah Xiang is just an insignificant little person in the trend of history, even if the fate of death is changed, it should not cause anything...
I thought to myself as I went out the door alone.Because what I was going to do next violated the principles of the mission of the government army, I generally rejected their idea of guarding me with a guilty conscience, but I knew that most of them followed me from afar to protect my safety.
I was full of worries and fell on the way.
Before my thoughts could fully come back, the scene in front of me changed. I fell to the ground and felt a burning pain in my knees and arms.
But what caused me to fall was my own inattention, and I couldn't blame others for what I did.
"Ah Chao, are you alright?"
I thought it would be Kiyomitsu Andada or Tsurumaru who would help me, but I didn't expect it to be Okita-kun.
The young man hesitated for a moment between directly supporting me or helping me, and finally stretched out his hand.
I looked at him gratefully, grabbed his hand, stood up with strength, and almost fell into his arms because of my unstable body.
"Where is it hurt?"
"I hit my knee..." There was a burning pain above the knee, the fabric was stuck to it, maybe it was bleeding. "But it's not a big problem. It won't hurt after a while."
I held back my hands, trying to ignore the tingling pain on my arm.
A fall hurts the whole body.
Okita let go of his hand and gave a soft "hmm".
I took a peek at him and noticed that his face was covered with a faint red cloud, which is hard to detect unless you look carefully...but maybe it's just an illusion.
"Where are you going next?"
"I want to visit Axiang..." When I talked about Axiang, I couldn't help but feel even more depressed. I lowered my head, "The child is sick and hasn't come out for a long time."
Okita obviously also knew what kind of disease Ah Xiang had, so he remained silent for a while.
"I'll go with you."
I nodded.
After that, I went to Axiang's house with Okita.
After a few minutes of rest, the pain in my body has eased a lot, but it is still incomparable with the state before the injury.My walking posture and walking speed were slightly affected. Okita-kun didn't say anything, but slowed down unknowingly, and walked side by side with my steps.
We bought souvenirs for visiting patients together, and then we walked slowly and slowly to Axiang's house.
But we didn't get to see Ah Xiang.
The one who received us was Ah Xiang's mother. Compared to the previous meeting, she was much haggard, and there were a few touches of silver in her hair that dazzled people's eyes.Ah Xiang suffered from a contagious disease. After much consideration, Ah Xiang's mother still didn't let us see him, but just called softly through the door, "Ah Xiang."
The coughing in the room gradually stopped, and the little girl's weak voice sounded, "Mom, it's...cough cough cough."
She greeted us while coughing, only chatted for a few words and then stopped replying sullenly.
The unstoppable cough is too painful.
Standing in front of Axiang's room with Okita-kun, I listened to Okita-kun unilaterally consoling Axiang, my right hand gradually slipped into the sleeve of my left hand...
If the special medicine can be given to Ah Xiang, then the current pain may be able to end——
there is none left? ? !
Where did the special medicine go?
I froze in place, and then slightly raised my sleeves to look for the medicine, but I couldn't find any trace of it anyway.
"Ah Asa...?" Okita-kun asked with concern from my side.
I lowered my hands as if giving up, looking at Okita-kun and suddenly burst into tears.
No more.
lost.
no longer exists.
Okita-kun's hand touched my hair, gently rubbing along the direction of the hair.
"Don't cry."
The more I say this, the more I can't bear it!
I covered my face with my hands, lowered my head and continued to sob.
The hand that belonged to Okita-kun has been stroking my hair, giving me a reassuring force.
……
After bidding farewell to Axiang and her parents, I walked with Okita-kun depressed.
History...doesn't it turn out to be unchangeable?
"Still sad?"
"I'm not sad..." After saying this, the dry tears on his face were once again covered by warm liquid, "No, I don't know why I keep crying... I, I don't want to cry either... "
Okita patted my back lightly, but didn't look at my expression.
Under his considerate care, I also gradually stopped crying, but the eye circles were still reddish, and my nose was a little sore.
What I feel sad... is not only A Xiang, but also the future Okita-kun.
In half a year, Okita-kun will faint due to tuberculosis during the Ikedaya incident after half a year... I don't want to think about the aftermath. The scene of Okita-kun coughing up blood that I saw on the eve of the Toba Fushimi battle is vivid. In the eyes.
Gradually, he arrived in front of Ah Shi's house.
Okita-kun told me not to be sad anymore, and handed me another bottle of medicine.
"Rub it on bruises such as knees and it can relieve the injury."
Such a gentle Okita-kun...
Why is there such a fate?
I really want to change his history if I can.
I took Okita-kun's medicine, and he had a faint smile on his face, "You should apply it well."
"Yeah." I gripped the bottle of medicine tightly.
"Sojiro."
"Ok?"
"I have a historical figure I like very much. He was very good, but he died at the most beautiful age due to a serious illness... I always want to travel back to the past, bring him medicine that can cure the disease, and change his fate... "I know that what I said now is very nonsensical, and it may even arouse Okita-kun's suspicion, but... I really want to ask Okita-kun and let him make a decision for me, "If you were that person, would you Do you want to change your fate?"
"I don't want to change," Okita said.
"If I were the person Ah Chao likes, it would be a happy thing to recover from a serious illness... But since it is already history, a change in a person's fate will inevitably lead to more changes. The future is not necessarily the future I expect, nor is it necessarily much better than the previous one."
Okita-kun's answer is the same as Anding said, he doesn't want to change history.
After answering, Okita-kun seemed to want to ask me why I asked such a question, but in the end I didn't ask it.
When I returned to the room, Naginata Midori greeted me.
As expected, the knee was scratched, and the blood stains glued the knee and the clothes together, causing a tingling sensation when they were separated.I applied the medicine that Okita-kun gave me to the injured area, and gradually I felt much better.
Then Naginata Midori told me that Taidao Zi and the others had sent him a message and asked me to meet outside the city.
Haven't seen them for a long time.
My depressed mood was somewhat diluted by the joy of seeing them, and I couldn't wait any longer.
But this joy disappeared half a moment after meeting.
Not long after I stayed in Taidao Zi's arms, I saw the retrograde soldiers holding down the main body sword on the side of my waist.
There was originally a bitter cold wind blowing in the woods outside the city, but it suddenly stopped during this silence. There was no wind, and even the branches and trees did not sway. It was as if time and air had stagnated, giving people an uneasy feeling.
Suddenly, a place above the woods twisted, and a circular hole was gradually opened, and aliens emitting dazzling blue light appeared one after another.
Then, their cold eyes silently fixed on the retrograde army.
Check for non-violation! ! !
In the next moment, Jian Feiwei pulled out his sword and aimed at the marching army full of murderous intent.
War is imminent!
Tachi Zi guarded me behind me, and all the other swords stood in front of me, fighting against the Jian Fei Violation Envoy.
This is a battle with a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. From the beginning, you can see the end-the defeat of the retrograde army and the inspection of Fei's subordinates.
Even though the result was like this, everyone in the battle broke out with great power and damaged the opponent's three generals. When the sword pierced through the gap towards me, who was powerless, Daohong and Daolu fought hard, saving me and defeating the opponent.
Tai Daozi was seriously injured, but he still stood stubbornly, protecting me from the beginning to the end.
I put my hands on Taidao Zi and Daohong's wounds, hoping to use spiritual power to relieve their injuries. It seemed to be effective in my sincerity, but in this era of restricted spiritual power, It took half of my energy just to stop them from bleeding.
And the remaining three prosecutors on the battlefield stared at us coldly, and raised their swords in their hands.
"boom!"
The sound of blades clashing.
Sanri Yue Zongjin descended in front of his eyes like a god, and resisted the attack of Jian Feiweishi.
Behind him, Kiyomitsu, Anding and Tsurumaru also drew their swords.
Jianfeiweishi did not let go of his killing intent because of the arrival of the government army, because for them, the men with swords and swords of the government army were enemies just like the retrograde army.
The men with swords on both sides fought together again.
After counting interest, the winner was decided.
Sanriyue and others won the victory.
I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
After the victory, Sanriyue stood in front of me, and the young man Fu Sangshen stretched out his white and slender hands towards me.
Tsurumaru squatted down first and hugged my shoulders, inspecting the injuries on my body—although I was not injured, my body was stained with a lot of blood from the marching soldiers, and I looked miserable appearance.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
San Riyue smiled, but her hand hanging in the air didn't move at all.
"I'm fine... everyone was injured..." I shook my head, reached out and grabbed San Riyue's hand, and stood up with his strength, "San Riyue, why are you here?"
Sanri Yue Zongjin said, "I'll pick you up."
Mikazuki said that we have stayed in this era for too long, and we have been targeted by police officers—not only that, but Naginata Green was also attacked by the government swordsmen, and it is not appropriate to stay any longer.Moreover, the Shizhi government has not noticed any useful news for a long time, and has already relaxed its supervision. After Sanriyue finished what she wanted to do there, she came here to pick us up when she was free.
"Besides, Ah Chao, you can also feel that something is wrong with your body."
My heart skipped a beat. Did Sanriyue mean...the other "her" in me?
Sanriyue didn't go into details, "After we go back this time, we can solve this matter."
I think I have to go back.
The injuries of the retrograde soldiers... is also one of the reasons why I had to go back to Honmaru.
But before leaving this era, I want to say goodbye to my friends.
Sanriyue looked at the sky and nodded.
An Ding offered to accompany me on the trip.
Although Tsurumaru also had an idea, Mikazuki stopped it with a smile.
In the end, I went back to Ashi's home with Yamato Shou'an, and Ashi happened to be taking a nap at home.
I entered the door lightly, and packed up my own things in my room. I also put the hairpin that Okita-kun gave me and the pastry bag in the bag.I also left my extra money, then gently opened the door, and suddenly heard grandma's voice, "Are you leaving?"
She didn't know when she woke up.
"Ah."
However, before I had any other emotions in my heart, the black-haired boy threw himself into my arms with reddish eye circles.
The young man's unexpected move made me startled. He put his hands around my waist, rested his head on my shoulders and faced my neck, and rubbed his slightly long hair against my neck and face. I avoided it unconsciously, and then noticed his body trembling slightly.
Just like Ah Shi that night.
Still a child.
My heart softened a little, I stretched out my arms to hug the young man's thin waist, and patted him gently on the back.
"Owner……"
"Well, here I am."
"Am I... am I loved now?" He asked such words.
"Ah."
Then I felt another body stuck behind me, the shoulder on the other side sank slightly, and a stable voice came.
"Am I loved too?"
The boy's voice was like he was stroking the broken hair on my neck, bringing a little soft and numb feeling.
I blushed slightly, and tilted my head slightly, "Yeah."
I like clear light and stability.
Whether it's as the judge of their Honmaru or "A Chao", I like Qingguang and An Ding very much.
A little laughter escaped An Ding's mouth.
He opened his lips slightly, and was about to say something, when suddenly——
"Cough cough!"
Someone coughed.
The sound made me and Qingguang in front of me stiffen for a moment, and then we turned our heads to follow the source of the sound. Tsurumaru clenched his left hand and put it in front of his mouth—he was the one who coughed just now!
The young man was leaning against the door, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised behind his fist, as if he was smiling...?
I suddenly felt embarrassed and had a feeling of being caught - caught doing something bad.
Qingguang also agreed with my feelings. He retracted his hand in a panic, and released the form of him, me and Anding sandwich biscuits.However, An Ding was unmoved, and said with a smile what he planned to say just now, "Does Ah Chao mean that he likes Qing Guang as well as me?"
The words that appeared in my heart just now can't be said at all now.
I felt the stable and warm breath, as well as the burning eyes on the side and in the distance, and I lowered my head in embarrassment.
The question of stability seems familiar. It was after I lost my memory. He mistakenly thought that I gave them gifts to pursue them, so he asked the question "I like both of them?" How did I answer it at that time? with...?
like it all?
don't like it?
Can't remember at all.
No, no, it would be embarrassing not to say anything.
"I like Qingguang and Anding... and Tsurumaru very much."
As long as Tsurumaru is involved, it should be fine!
I sneaked a glance at Tsurumaru, and saw a smile suddenly blooming on his face, as sweet as honey, and my heart suddenly thumped.
No, no, the range needs to be bigger.
"I like the rest of Honmaru too!"
After answering like this, An Ding reluctantly let me go.
I brought Qingguang Anding into my room, along with Tsurumaru.
Kiyomitsu and Anda were sitting in front of me on the left and right, and Tsurumaru was sitting across from me.
As if treating Tsurumaru as an invisible person, Anding and Kiyomitsu told me what happened to them in recent days.
After returning from the Warring States Period, Mikazuki told the other people in Honmaru my identity, which caused a lot of commotion. "The god judge abandoned them" was just a lie for San Riyue and their consolation. The truth is that the god judge had died under the retrograde saber, but San Riyue told them that the god judge died, but survived in another form, that is, with The me they used to get along with.
After Kiyomitsu Andada learned of this, he went on an expedition with Tsurumaru to the Edo period, and it took him a while to scout before Tsurumaru found me.
Revisiting the truth, Qing Guang's eyes couldn't help dimming a bit, and the eye circles were still red.
"Owner……"
I heard a lot of meaning from this "Master", and my heart was touched, so I comforted him, "It's all right now."
"Don't call me master, just call me Ah Chao like before."
Qingguang whispered my name.
"Such a thing happened in a place we didn't know..."
"I didn't find out sooner... I'm sorry."
He has started to blame himself.
It's not Qingguang's responsibility.
"Don't apologize." I shook my head, "It's me who should blame myself for making you show such an expression."
And I'm here now.
Although the reason why I became like this is still unclear, but it doesn't affect anything. I am here now, with everyone, and I will live with you in the future.
As soon as the words fell, Tsurumaru and Anding on the side laughed without embarrassment, completely destroying the warm atmosphere between me and Kiyomitsu.
An Ding also covered her lips,
Tsurumaru Kuninaga didn't even cover his lips.
"Hahahaha, it's like romance—I didn't say anything."
I stared at Tsurumaru who was opposite, although he pretended to be cowardly and swallowed the next words, but he looked directly at me and blinked at me.
I coughed, "I'm now... I forgot what I was going to say."
I can't remember what I wanted to say before! !
Even Qingguang couldn't help laughing this time.
Really everyone! !
I stared at them one by one, staying on Tsurumaru for an extra long time.
The young man suppressed his smile, pointed at Qingguang Anding, "Why are you laughing? Didn't you see that A Chao was forgotten by all your laughing words?"
"Pfft, it's obviously Tsurumaru-san's fault."
"Mr. Tsurumaru laughed too?"
In such an atmosphere, although I had already thought of what I was going to say, I couldn't open my mouth anyway.
So I choose to stand in Qingguang Anding.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga, who was isolated and helpless, was quickly defeated.
Looking at Tsurumaru like this, I couldn't help laughing, and then I saw the young man raised his eyes, and the golden eyes looked over with tenderness.
Tsurumaru's performance just now...was it to make me laugh?
This guess suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help feeling better.
Although Tsurumaru has set up an enchantment in my room, the outside world can't know what happened here-this is the reason why Naginata Midori never came, but Ashi couldn't stop knocking on the door to find me.
When the knock on the door rang, I subconsciously wanted to hide Kiyomitsu Anding and Tsurumaru.
But there is no place to hide in the house at all! ! ! !
In a panic, I noticed that Tsurumaru's eyes fell on my loose coat.
"No, no, I can't hide yours!"
I tightened my clothes and said to Tsurumaru.
Tsurumaru made a "poof", "I just took a look."
"Ah Chao don't need to be so nervous, it's not a big deal for Ah Shi to see the two of them."
Then the shoji door was pulled open, and Ah Shi appeared at the door, with a shocked expression frozen on his face.
I subconsciously held my breath.
As Ah Shi's beloved elder sister, there are three beautiful boys with beautiful food and delicious food in the room early in the morning... It would be bad if he wanted to mislead her...
"Brother Zong, Sojiro?!"
The boy cried out aloud.
The boy in blue haori turned his head when he heard the sound, his fluffy ponytail curled slightly in the air, and that delicate and lovely face was also exposed in front of Ashi - it was slightly similar to Okita-kun Although he has the same appearance, he is much more innocent and cute than Okita-kun.It's just that I noticed that An Ding's eyes lit up slightly when he heard the name "Sojiro".
Yes, Ashi recognized Anding as Okita-kun.
After all, stability is Okita-kun's sword.
Not only Yamato Shodo, but also California Kiyomitsu.
When I met Okita-kun for the first time, seeing his face, I had the illusion that it was a combination of Qingguang and stability.
But it is different after all, Okita-kun is Okita-kun, California Kiyomitsu is California Kiyomitsu, Yamato Shou Anding is Yamato Shou Anding.
"... Soujiro?"
Qing Guang read it again.
Ah Shi seemed to realize that he had identified the wrong person, but he still couldn't take his eyes off the two.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I got the wrong person... The brothers look a lot like Soujiro-san."
Ashi is very fond of Okita-kun, and this kind of favor is also transferred to Qingguang Anding who is similar to Okita-kun.
Compared with Tsurumaru, he accepted the existence of Kiyomitsu Anding more easily, and immediately sat down and talked with them. Of course, this can be seen from the fact that he called Kiyomitsu Anding Okita-kun "brother" but Tsurumaru "uncle" See out.
So Uncle Tsurumaru asked, "Sojiro Okita?"
"Hmph." Ahshi turned around, with his back to Tsurumaru.
Both Kiyomitsu and Anding were taken aback by the name "Soujiro Okita", and Anding looked at me subconsciously.
I nodded towards An Ning.
An Ding laughed, with a little longing and longing in his smile, "Mr. Okita."
Qingguang also bent his lips and smiled, "It is said that he looks like Okita-kun."
"Brothers, do you know Brother Sojiro?" Ashi's attitude towards Kiyomitsu Andan was completely different from that of Tsurumaru.
Seeing this, Tsurumaru looked at me with an aggrieved face.
I pretended not to see, and turned my head to watch Qing Guang Anding talk to Ah Shi.There was a rustling sound from the side, Tsurumaru slightly raised his clothes and sat down next to me.
I glanced at him and saw that there was a narrow smile in his eyes, so I didn't refuse.
"I know, Okita-kun is me—" An Ding's words came to an abrupt end.
"It's the object of our longing." Qingguang helped An Ding complete the second half of the sentence. Compared with "We are Okita-kun's saber", Qingguang's sentence is obviously better.
Hearing this, An Ding nodded vigorously, his yearning for Okita-kun was beyond words.
"I also like Brother Sojiro very much!" Ah Shi's eyes sparkled.
For Ashi, a little fan of Okita-kun, Anding can't help but like it a little bit, and the topic naturally changed from "Okita and Kiyomitsu Anding's portrait" to fancy boasting about Okita.
If given a certain amount of time, I think he will be able to sing Okita-kun's words continuously for an hour without repeating the same.
After all, Okita-kun is a very good person.
Thinking of Okita-kun, I can't help being moved.
Then Ashi brought the topic to me.
"When I grow up, I also want to be as handsome as Sojiro brother, and to be with a gentle girl like Asa sister!"
I couldn't help but feel a little shy to become the girl that Ashi said was gentle and wanted to marry, but deep down I was a little happy.
But there were three pairs of eyes looking over.
Being watched by everyone, I stammered and said, "I'm gentle, isn't this right?"
If someone says that I am not gentle, I will ignore him.
"No, no, Ah Chao is very gentle." Qing Guang coaxed me.
"It's not about this," An Ding said, "Ah Chao, you and Okita-kun... what kind of relationship is it?"
I don't know if it's an illusion, but An Ding's and Tsurumaru's eyes burned a little bit.
I pinched the corner of my clothes, and of course I chose to deny such words, "No, no, don't listen to Ah Shi's nonsense."
Ah Shi yelled: "I didn't talk nonsense."
I glared at Ashi, "Thanks to Ashi, I met Okita-kun who was playing with them, and we became good friends."
"That's it," An Ding's complexion softened slightly, his eyes sparkling, "Okita-kun really likes playing with these kids..."
Ah Shi murmured in a low voice, "But my brother often gave sister Ah Chao delicious food, and sister Ah Chao also gave my brother socks and gloves made by himself..."
"How do you know—" No, no, now is not the time to talk about that.I stopped talking in embarrassment, and I could feel the heat on my face without reaching out to touch it, "That, that doesn't mean anything..."
At this time, Qingguang Anding and the others stopped talking.
They were patronizing to watch Ahichi demolish me, and I turned to Tsurumaru for help.
"That's right, Ah Chao also often gives me personal items." Tsurumaru smiled with his face propped up.
Aichi continued to contradict Tsurumaru, "Hmph, it was Sister Achao who gave it to you because of her kindness. Brother Sojiro also gave Sister Achamo a hairpin, and Sister Achao accepted it."
I think I know why Ah Shi knows so many things... Grandma must have told Ah Shi.
Hearing this, Tsurumaru's expression remained unchanged, "Then what's the matter, Ah Chao's family still has a lot of hairpins and jewelry I gave you."
Ah Shi: "..."
I cover my face.
Ashi ran away resentfully.
Then Tsurumaru looked at me leisurely, with an idle smile on his face, "Achao."
"What, what?"
"Don't forget to give me the personal items you made yourself!"
Qingguang & An Ding: "Get lost."
So after Ashi ran out, Tsurumaru was also forcibly pushed out of my room by Kiyomitsu Anding.
"A Chao, you and Okita-kun...?" An Ding asked curiously.
I told Andyaki Kiyomitsu all the stories about me and Okita-kun since I came to this era—including the meeting at the Battle of Toba Fushimi three years later.The relationship between me and Okita-kun is determined by them. As for my thoughts towards Okita-kun... In front of Okita-kun's sword, even if I have a wicked heart, I can't express it.
An Ding began to look at me. It was the first time that the boy looked at me like this, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"What, what's wrong?"
"It's indeed the type that Okita-kun likes." An Ding mused.
"...???"
"I'm not joking," said An Ding, but he couldn't help laughing, the young man's smile was unbelievably good-looking, "It's not surprising that Okita-kun has a crush on you for a gentle and lovely person like Ah Chao Things. And things are like masters, we are Okita-kun's favorite sword, and the type we like is similar to that of Okita-kun."
Qing Guang responded with "hmm" a few times, raised his eyes a little shyly, and said nothing.
"In this way, it can be regarded as getting closer to Okita-kun."
Talking about the gossip between the long-awaited former owner and the current owner, Yamato Shou'an talked about it with eloquence.
"Besides, Okita-kun is a clean and self-conscious person. If it is a woman who does not like him, he will directly reject it without thinking about it. But if it is a woman who has a crush, he will become very serious. Judging from your description, Achao, on that night Afterwards, what Okita-kun did for you has already put you in his heart, and his attitude is quite serious~"
I covered my face again.
But the heart hesitated.
"Clap."
It seemed to be the sound of pebbles hitting the shoji door.
Knowing that Okita-kun reminded me of the stability of the pastry outside in this way, I stopped talking, subconsciously held my breath, and began to explore the situation outside.
"Is it Okita-kun?" Qingguang asked.
"I, I don't know..." An Ding tightened her hands.
"Want to go out and have a look?"
An Ding wanted to get up, but stopped, "I... really want to see Okita-kun."
"Ok?"
"But now...is it better to cover your face before going out?"
Me & Qingguang: "..."
When An Ding untied his hair tie, let his black hair hang down, and covered half of his face with a scarf, he slowly opened the door by pulling the barrier door. There was no Okita-kun outside the door, only sitting on a tree and throwing Tsurumaru Kuninaga playing with pebbles.
So it wasn't Okita-kun just now, but Tsurumaru's prank.
……
Ah Shi’s house obviously didn’t have enough rooms for Qing Guang to live in. Moreover, Ah Shi and grandma seemed suspicious of the people who came to see me one after another, and politely and tactfully said that there were not enough rooms.Then Qingguang Anding decided to go to a hotel, and when they left, they took Tsurumaru Kuninaga with them.
Naginata Green looked at their leaving backs and let out a "hum".
After Tsurumaru left, the influence of another self in me appeared again.
When I close my eyes, the scene before my death will appear in front of my eyes, and there will be a voice in my heart repeatedly saying that I want to change history. Only by putting my body and mind into one thing can I temporarily abandon it. These.
I chose to learn fencing with Naginata Midori.
For a weak woman like me, learning swordsmanship with Ah Shi is obviously a little bit reluctant, and I am not as energetic as a boy of this age in many aspects.
Although Naginata Midori agreed with my idea, he did not equate Oshi with me, and gave me a lot of relaxation.
I tried my best to practice within my ability, and took a nap aside when I was tired.
It was on such an afternoon that Okita-kun was brought back by Ashi with a smile.
Ashi said that Okita-kun came to play with them as usual, and because he couldn't see me, he asked a question, and Ashi invited him back home.
My body after exercising was a little chilled by the cold wind, but after seeing Okita-kun, my body suddenly warmed up again.
The scarf he knitted around me.
After hearing An Ding say that, now, this incident is enough to make me feel shy and embarrassed.
"Zone, Sojiro..."
"A Chao."
Different from my stammering voice, the young man's greeting voice was clear and smooth and natural.
It seems that I am very cautious.
But it was true. After that, the memory between Okita-kun's departure became blurred. I can't remember what Okita-kun said to me and what kind of expression he showed. I just remember that he seemed to ask me about sword training. things.
As soon as Okita-kun left, An Ding and Qing Guang arrived.
The simple and lovely face of the young man was full of satisfaction and joy of getting what he wanted.
I thought about it, "Anding, have you met Okita-kun?"
"Hmm!" An Ding's mouth curled up, "I watched Okita-kun walk by from afar."
Just walking over made him so happy, if it was meeting... he would be crazy happy.
I'm kind of looking forward to the day when Kiyomitsu Anding meets Okita.
Seeing Anding Qingguang's visit, Ashi greeted him and said a lot.
"Ah Xiang didn't come again today, she seems to be sick."
Among his many words, there was one sentence that caught my attention. Thinking of that lovely little girl getting sick again, I couldn't help but arouse the desire to visit her.
Ah Shi and other friends went to visit on my behalf.
"I don't know what the disease is... Ah Shi's mother won't let us visit."
"I sneaked out of Ah Xiang's room once. The smell of medicine was very strong, and she coughed very badly... as if, as if she wanted to cough up her heart and lungs."
I fell silent.
My subconscious mind told me that Ah Xiang's illness was not simple.
After a few days, Ah Shi came back with tears in his eyes, and the little man was sobbing, speechless.
"Ah Xiang, she... Axiang, she... tuberculosis..."
Bad premonition became reality.
It wasn't just me, An Ding who happened to be beside me at this time also froze.
this disease...
It is terminally ill now that medical means are not developed.
People who have tuberculosis can only die.
I couldn't bear to close my eyes, and the image of the bottle of special medicine at the bottom of the burden suddenly came to my mind.
By the way, I still have special medicine...
But that's for Okita-kun...
An Ding's face darkened a little. He came to me many times in recent days. The most important reason was because of the existence of Okita-kun. As long as he looked at him from a distance, he felt very happy.But now Ah Xiang's illness dragged him out of happiness, and suddenly reminded him of his fate after Okita.
Cough, with blood.
I have also seen Okita-kun coughing up blood, it was a very distressing scene.
As Okita-kun's favorite sword, Yamato Mamoru must have seen no less than me, and he must also know the pain of Okita-kun.
Such a painful terminal illness can only be cured by the special medicine from modern times——
Ah Xiang's bright smile and Okita-kun's pale smile in the future appeared in his mind one after another.
My heart skipped a beat.
My eyes were fixed on An Ding, he regained his composure, and slowly raised his eyes to look at me, but his blue eyes were clear, as if he had seen through my thoughts.
I remembered again what Anding had said to me,
——"Okita-kun's fate cannot be changed...cannot let anyone be changed."
As if being scalded, I avoided An Ning's gaze.
The cold wind blew in through the open and closed door, blowing away all thoughts in the room.
Okita-kun's fate cannot be changed, what about Ah Xiang?
Is it Axiang's fate to get sick and die?
Even with the bottle of special medicine that can reverse their life and death, can I still do nothing?
Complicated thoughts filled my head, and another person in my body was constantly affecting me. My mood inevitably fell down. I watched Ashi cry because of Axiang's illness, and finally made a decision.
I want to visit Ah Xiang.
Hidden in the sleeve is the bottle of special medicine, which is heavy.
Ah Xiang is just an insignificant little person in the trend of history, even if the fate of death is changed, it should not cause anything...
I thought to myself as I went out the door alone.Because what I was going to do next violated the principles of the mission of the government army, I generally rejected their idea of guarding me with a guilty conscience, but I knew that most of them followed me from afar to protect my safety.
I was full of worries and fell on the way.
Before my thoughts could fully come back, the scene in front of me changed. I fell to the ground and felt a burning pain in my knees and arms.
But what caused me to fall was my own inattention, and I couldn't blame others for what I did.
"Ah Chao, are you alright?"
I thought it would be Kiyomitsu Andada or Tsurumaru who would help me, but I didn't expect it to be Okita-kun.
The young man hesitated for a moment between directly supporting me or helping me, and finally stretched out his hand.
I looked at him gratefully, grabbed his hand, stood up with strength, and almost fell into his arms because of my unstable body.
"Where is it hurt?"
"I hit my knee..." There was a burning pain above the knee, the fabric was stuck to it, maybe it was bleeding. "But it's not a big problem. It won't hurt after a while."
I held back my hands, trying to ignore the tingling pain on my arm.
A fall hurts the whole body.
Okita let go of his hand and gave a soft "hmm".
I took a peek at him and noticed that his face was covered with a faint red cloud, which is hard to detect unless you look carefully...but maybe it's just an illusion.
"Where are you going next?"
"I want to visit Axiang..." When I talked about Axiang, I couldn't help but feel even more depressed. I lowered my head, "The child is sick and hasn't come out for a long time."
Okita obviously also knew what kind of disease Ah Xiang had, so he remained silent for a while.
"I'll go with you."
I nodded.
After that, I went to Axiang's house with Okita.
After a few minutes of rest, the pain in my body has eased a lot, but it is still incomparable with the state before the injury.My walking posture and walking speed were slightly affected. Okita-kun didn't say anything, but slowed down unknowingly, and walked side by side with my steps.
We bought souvenirs for visiting patients together, and then we walked slowly and slowly to Axiang's house.
But we didn't get to see Ah Xiang.
The one who received us was Ah Xiang's mother. Compared to the previous meeting, she was much haggard, and there were a few touches of silver in her hair that dazzled people's eyes.Ah Xiang suffered from a contagious disease. After much consideration, Ah Xiang's mother still didn't let us see him, but just called softly through the door, "Ah Xiang."
The coughing in the room gradually stopped, and the little girl's weak voice sounded, "Mom, it's...cough cough cough."
She greeted us while coughing, only chatted for a few words and then stopped replying sullenly.
The unstoppable cough is too painful.
Standing in front of Axiang's room with Okita-kun, I listened to Okita-kun unilaterally consoling Axiang, my right hand gradually slipped into the sleeve of my left hand...
If the special medicine can be given to Ah Xiang, then the current pain may be able to end——
there is none left? ? !
Where did the special medicine go?
I froze in place, and then slightly raised my sleeves to look for the medicine, but I couldn't find any trace of it anyway.
"Ah Asa...?" Okita-kun asked with concern from my side.
I lowered my hands as if giving up, looking at Okita-kun and suddenly burst into tears.
No more.
lost.
no longer exists.
Okita-kun's hand touched my hair, gently rubbing along the direction of the hair.
"Don't cry."
The more I say this, the more I can't bear it!
I covered my face with my hands, lowered my head and continued to sob.
The hand that belonged to Okita-kun has been stroking my hair, giving me a reassuring force.
……
After bidding farewell to Axiang and her parents, I walked with Okita-kun depressed.
History...doesn't it turn out to be unchangeable?
"Still sad?"
"I'm not sad..." After saying this, the dry tears on his face were once again covered by warm liquid, "No, I don't know why I keep crying... I, I don't want to cry either... "
Okita patted my back lightly, but didn't look at my expression.
Under his considerate care, I also gradually stopped crying, but the eye circles were still reddish, and my nose was a little sore.
What I feel sad... is not only A Xiang, but also the future Okita-kun.
In half a year, Okita-kun will faint due to tuberculosis during the Ikedaya incident after half a year... I don't want to think about the aftermath. The scene of Okita-kun coughing up blood that I saw on the eve of the Toba Fushimi battle is vivid. In the eyes.
Gradually, he arrived in front of Ah Shi's house.
Okita-kun told me not to be sad anymore, and handed me another bottle of medicine.
"Rub it on bruises such as knees and it can relieve the injury."
Such a gentle Okita-kun...
Why is there such a fate?
I really want to change his history if I can.
I took Okita-kun's medicine, and he had a faint smile on his face, "You should apply it well."
"Yeah." I gripped the bottle of medicine tightly.
"Sojiro."
"Ok?"
"I have a historical figure I like very much. He was very good, but he died at the most beautiful age due to a serious illness... I always want to travel back to the past, bring him medicine that can cure the disease, and change his fate... "I know that what I said now is very nonsensical, and it may even arouse Okita-kun's suspicion, but... I really want to ask Okita-kun and let him make a decision for me, "If you were that person, would you Do you want to change your fate?"
"I don't want to change," Okita said.
"If I were the person Ah Chao likes, it would be a happy thing to recover from a serious illness... But since it is already history, a change in a person's fate will inevitably lead to more changes. The future is not necessarily the future I expect, nor is it necessarily much better than the previous one."
Okita-kun's answer is the same as Anding said, he doesn't want to change history.
After answering, Okita-kun seemed to want to ask me why I asked such a question, but in the end I didn't ask it.
When I returned to the room, Naginata Midori greeted me.
As expected, the knee was scratched, and the blood stains glued the knee and the clothes together, causing a tingling sensation when they were separated.I applied the medicine that Okita-kun gave me to the injured area, and gradually I felt much better.
Then Naginata Midori told me that Taidao Zi and the others had sent him a message and asked me to meet outside the city.
Haven't seen them for a long time.
My depressed mood was somewhat diluted by the joy of seeing them, and I couldn't wait any longer.
But this joy disappeared half a moment after meeting.
Not long after I stayed in Taidao Zi's arms, I saw the retrograde soldiers holding down the main body sword on the side of my waist.
There was originally a bitter cold wind blowing in the woods outside the city, but it suddenly stopped during this silence. There was no wind, and even the branches and trees did not sway. It was as if time and air had stagnated, giving people an uneasy feeling.
Suddenly, a place above the woods twisted, and a circular hole was gradually opened, and aliens emitting dazzling blue light appeared one after another.
Then, their cold eyes silently fixed on the retrograde army.
Check for non-violation! ! !
In the next moment, Jian Feiwei pulled out his sword and aimed at the marching army full of murderous intent.
War is imminent!
Tachi Zi guarded me behind me, and all the other swords stood in front of me, fighting against the Jian Fei Violation Envoy.
This is a battle with a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. From the beginning, you can see the end-the defeat of the retrograde army and the inspection of Fei's subordinates.
Even though the result was like this, everyone in the battle broke out with great power and damaged the opponent's three generals. When the sword pierced through the gap towards me, who was powerless, Daohong and Daolu fought hard, saving me and defeating the opponent.
Tai Daozi was seriously injured, but he still stood stubbornly, protecting me from the beginning to the end.
I put my hands on Taidao Zi and Daohong's wounds, hoping to use spiritual power to relieve their injuries. It seemed to be effective in my sincerity, but in this era of restricted spiritual power, It took half of my energy just to stop them from bleeding.
And the remaining three prosecutors on the battlefield stared at us coldly, and raised their swords in their hands.
"boom!"
The sound of blades clashing.
Sanri Yue Zongjin descended in front of his eyes like a god, and resisted the attack of Jian Feiweishi.
Behind him, Kiyomitsu, Anding and Tsurumaru also drew their swords.
Jianfeiweishi did not let go of his killing intent because of the arrival of the government army, because for them, the men with swords and swords of the government army were enemies just like the retrograde army.
The men with swords on both sides fought together again.
After counting interest, the winner was decided.
Sanriyue and others won the victory.
I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
After the victory, Sanriyue stood in front of me, and the young man Fu Sangshen stretched out his white and slender hands towards me.
Tsurumaru squatted down first and hugged my shoulders, inspecting the injuries on my body—although I was not injured, my body was stained with a lot of blood from the marching soldiers, and I looked miserable appearance.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
San Riyue smiled, but her hand hanging in the air didn't move at all.
"I'm fine... everyone was injured..." I shook my head, reached out and grabbed San Riyue's hand, and stood up with his strength, "San Riyue, why are you here?"
Sanri Yue Zongjin said, "I'll pick you up."
Mikazuki said that we have stayed in this era for too long, and we have been targeted by police officers—not only that, but Naginata Green was also attacked by the government swordsmen, and it is not appropriate to stay any longer.Moreover, the Shizhi government has not noticed any useful news for a long time, and has already relaxed its supervision. After Sanriyue finished what she wanted to do there, she came here to pick us up when she was free.
"Besides, Ah Chao, you can also feel that something is wrong with your body."
My heart skipped a beat. Did Sanriyue mean...the other "her" in me?
Sanriyue didn't go into details, "After we go back this time, we can solve this matter."
I think I have to go back.
The injuries of the retrograde soldiers... is also one of the reasons why I had to go back to Honmaru.
But before leaving this era, I want to say goodbye to my friends.
Sanriyue looked at the sky and nodded.
An Ding offered to accompany me on the trip.
Although Tsurumaru also had an idea, Mikazuki stopped it with a smile.
In the end, I went back to Ashi's home with Yamato Shou'an, and Ashi happened to be taking a nap at home.
I entered the door lightly, and packed up my own things in my room. I also put the hairpin that Okita-kun gave me and the pastry bag in the bag.I also left my extra money, then gently opened the door, and suddenly heard grandma's voice, "Are you leaving?"
She didn't know when she woke up.
"Ah."
