Inquisitor's Melancholy

On April 25th of the fourth year of Qingying, Isamu Kondo was beheaded at the Ichiri Tomb in Itabashi Hirao at the age of 35.

It was the time when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and it has been two months since now.

Hijikata Toshizo did not inform Director Okita of this news for a long time, and it was difficult for him to come here with spare time even to meet him.The director of the Shinsengumi, Isamu Kondo, was executed and beheaded. The chief, Keisuke Yamanan, passed away in seppuku.

To some extent, the Shinsengumi has existed in name only.

It is not easy for Hijikata Toshizo to maintain the Shinsengumi by himself, but these are not the most painful. As the last person to protect the Shinsengumi, he keeps watching his close companions leave his side.Reixu couldn't know this state of mind, he just deeply admired Hijikata Toshizo as an ordinary person and a bystander.

"Mr. Hijikata, have you ever thought that hiding everything from Mr. Xiao will make Mr. Xiao wonder why you all left him?"

"The person who was left behind should be me! Mr. Shannan, Director Kondo, and now the chief executive are leaving too... I am the only one, and I was abandoned here..."

Speaking of excitement, Hijikata Toshizo's voice became a little louder, and soon he regained his senses, stroked his forehead, with a dazed expression, "Sorry, I said something strange, please forget it."

"Mr. Hichikata, you are not alone. So far, Izumi Mori Kanesada and Horikawa Kunihiro have accompanied you in countless battles. Have you forgotten?"

"But they are swords..."

"Swords are the same as humans! It's just that they can't have human bodies and can't express their emotions. Mr. Hijikata, don't underestimate yourself, those two swords have always been proud of you."

Li Xian's tone was very affirmative. In his eyes, Daojian seemed to be a real human being.Tukata Suizan snorted, and unconsciously stroked the two swords hanging around his waist with his right hand. Li Xian was right, he still had these two swords, and he still had his life as a warrior.

"I can't stay any longer. I just came here this time to see if the chief is safe. Since you are here, I feel at ease."

Hijikata Toshizo said, looking in the direction of Okita Souji's room, then lowered his eyes to hide the heavy eyes, this is probably the last time he came here, the Shinsengumi is struggling now, he has no extra time to come and see The general manager.

"Please, Lixian, I will leave the chief to you, please take good care of him."

"Why do you think I'm here?" Li Xian spread his hands and smiled like a spring breeze, but there was no smile in his eyes.He carried Hijikata Toshizo on his back and walked under the cherry blossom tree, holding a branch of flowers in his palm, "Hijikata Toshizo, the deputy head of the demon, your name and the soul of the Shinsengumi will definitely be passed down in the memory of the world and will never fade. "

"The soul of the Shinsengumi... It's just that in their memory, the Shinsengumi is just a tyrannical executioner." Hijikata Toshizo said in a cold voice, and before Retsuru could refute, he changed into a relaxed tone , "Speaking of which, why is it that four years have passed, Li Xian, your pronunciation is still so inaccurate. Here, keep copying in your free time, it will definitely help you."

Hijikata Toshizo took out the original "Toyotama Haiku Collection" from his lapel and handed it to Reixuan. His warm body temperature was still on the title page. Reixian stared at the haiku collection for a while, then took it casually Turned over.

Ah, the content has changed.

"Mr. Hijikata, how much do you like this person named Fengyu? You still carry it with you?"

"Yeah, so I'm handing it over to you now, so cherish it." Hijikata Toshizo raised his lips and showed a faint smile. With the cherry blossoms everywhere, Rixian finally learned that Hijikata Toshizou, who has always been resolute, Three Why has a romantic name that is quite inconsistent with the image of bloody hands.

If you were a woman, maybe you would fall in love with his gentle smile, right?

"Yes Yes."

Retsuru replied perfunctorily, but carefully collected the haiku.

"Rixian,...who are you talking to? Is this voice...Mr. Hijikata?" Souji Okita's voice came from inside the room. Reishen pushed open the wooden door and looked at Souji Okita, "Well, it's Mr. Hijikata. , he came to visit you."

"Boss, how are you doing?"

Hijikata Toshizo stood behind Reiko and asked with concern.In this regard, Okita Souji just smiled reassuringly, "It's much better, maybe in a few days I can hold a sword and fight with everyone again."

"That's good, take care of yourself, I'll wait for you to return to the battlefield." Hijikata Toshizo also smiled. In the past, when they were in the Shinsengumi, the two of them often quarreled over small things. Director Okita always blamed Hijikata Toshio San's style is too rigid, and Hijikata Toshizo thinks that Souji Okita likes to mess around too much.

The two of them are finally able to talk calmly now, but the scene is different from then.

"...Where is Mr. Kondo? Is there no news yet? I don't know how he was dealt with..."

After hesitating for a while, Director Okita still raised his doubts. If he didn't know the situation of Mr. Kondo, he might not be able to leave with peace of mind.Needless to say, Hijikata Toshizo, Okita Souji also knows that this is probably the last time he and Hijikata Toshizo will meet, so he must ask Mr. Kondo how he is now.

"Director Kondo, he..."

"I just left, ah... After all, he is the leader of the Shinsengumi, so he is very busy, right? But he brought your favorite Jinpei candy over, and asked me to give it to you."

Li Xian took out a small cloth bag, opened the seal, and delicate and beautiful candies of various colors appeared in front of Souji Okita.Souji Okita smiled happily, but the corners of his eyes were a little red. He reached out and took out a piece of Konpei candy and chewed it in his mouth.

"It's so sweet...it's really sweet, it's so good..."

The last sentence refers to Isamu Kondo, and Director Okita believed Reizumi's lie. If Isamu Kondo and Toshizo Hijikata came to visit him together, but because of important matters in the team, it is not impossible for Isamu Kondo to leave early. However, Okita What the general manager didn't know was that Isamu Kondo had already been beheaded two months ago, and Jin Pingtang was also bought by Lixian himself to make the general manager Okita happy.

A genius swordsman who is known as the "Sword of the End of the Bakumaki", Okita Souji likes to eat small desserts like Konpeitou like a child.

However, he is also the cutest in this kind of place, right?

"Li Xian, thank you." When Hijikata Toshisan left, he thanked Li Xian again.Hijikata Toshizo is not a good liar. At that time, Souji Okita asked him how Isamu Kondo was. Even if he didn't tell the truth, he could only respond with silence. In that case, with Souji Okita's intelligence, he would definitely noticed.

"Mr. Hijikata, I have a hunch that we will meet again soon, please take care before then."

That's right, in the Hakodate War a year later, the Shinsengumi and the new government army fought in the final battle. The Shinsengumi with outdated weapons and equipment could no longer stop the pace of the new government army. Hijikata Toshizo was also in that war He was shot and fell off his horse and died.

This is why Izumi Mori Kanesada hates guns.

The death of the Shinsengumi opened a new course in Japanese history, so the Hakodate War was also one of the important events that the time-traveling army guys were eyeing.

When the Battle of Hakodate happens, he may follow the sword man to this land. In order to tell Hijikata Toshizo that he is not alone. When he was fighting to defend his faith and the new government army, he His sword is also fighting to protect the history and time retrograde army that he has existed.

"Yes, I look forward to seeing you again."

Hijikata Toshisan left in a hurry after leaving the last sentence. After he left, Li Xian still stood at the door for a long time, cherry blossoms covered him all over, Li Xian lowered his brows and eyes, and gave a wry smile.

If Hijikata Toshizo knew why he appeared, he probably wouldn't have expected it, would he?The goal of the time retrograde army is to change history through the Hakodate War. The best way is to help the Shinsengumi defend the old government and repel all the new government forces. Although he maintained history, he also pushed Hijikata Toshizo On the road to death.

"Lixian, my mother-in-law has made tea, and it's just right to use Jinpingtang as a refreshment. Do you want to come?"

Hearing the call, Li Xian turned his head, her mother-in-law was holding a tea tray, and Souji Okita was sitting at the small table, looking in a good mood, was it because he had been worried about Isamu Kondo's safety all this time?That's why he was so happy when he learned that Isamu Kondo was still "alive".

To be able to see such a warm smile seems to be worth lying.

"Come here!"

That day, under the cherry blossom trees, the fragrance of tea was lingering, and the sweetness of Jinpingtang, Li Xian remembered for a long time.

"Let me tell you, I saw the deputy head of Hijikata coming over before, so I said that Okita-kun must be here."

"—Eh? How do you know that the person who came here belonged to Deputy Chief Hijikata? Besides, even if Okita-kun is here, he must be recuperating from his illness. Let's not bother them!"

The whispering at the door caught Li Xian's attention, and he looked in the direction of the sound. They were two young boys, who seemed to have no malicious intentions.

"Two brats over there, come here."

Li Xian waved at the two teenagers, probably because they were ignorant of the world, they didn't have any scruples about Li Xian, and boldly stepped forward, "We are not little ghosts anymore, mother said we are already adults !"

"Ha... my lord? Then two little 'adults', can you tell me what you are doing here?"

The inn that Okita Souji used to recuperate is very remote and quiet. Generally speaking, it is impossible for children to play around here, and just now they mentioned Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Souji, Lixian had to figure it out How did they know about this place.

As the captain of the Shinsengumi [-]st Team, Okita Souji is also the number one master of swordsmanship. He has made too many enemies. It cannot be ruled out that someone will take the opportunity to assassinate him.

The author has something to say:

Although Lixian doesn't have an official match, it doesn't hinder us yy~

It seems that everyone likes the CP of Zongsi and Li Xian, is there anyone else who stands for other CPs?Qingming, Sasaki Kojiro, Mr. Yuzhu, any sword, etc... Oh, and the mysterious young man over there.

ps: Well, reading the comments, some little angels worry that the death of the chief executive is a knife. In fact, history is the biggest knife. But I will try my best to let the chief executive have a happy ending, please rest assured.
