Inquisitor's Melancholy

"Are you...underestimating me?"

Li Xian stared at Souji Okita coldly, obviously he couldn't even hold a sword, so what kind of competition is there?If he was serious, did he mean "please kill me" by saying this, or did he think he was so weak that he couldn't even fight against him when he was seriously ill?

"No, it is because I know your strength that I want to compete with you."

Adjusting his breathing, Souji Okita drew out the blade and pointed at Reixen, "At least, let me die in battle, by the sword, that is my pride as a samurai."

"I understand."

If that is his wish.

Well, let him know how stupid he is.

Under Okita Souji's determined gaze, Li Xian took the wooden knife placed aside, and walked towards him expressionlessly, making moves almost without hesitation.Unlike Li Xian's gentle impression, his sword is extremely fierce and extremely fast, leaving almost no room for counterattack.

After finally blocking Li Xian's sword blade, Okita Souji unavoidably took a few steps back, the dust raised from his hind legs landed on the ground, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of Okita Souji's pale lips, he grinned and smiled slowly, "Sure enough, it's right to choose you..."

"Really? Is it because I'm a monster? So you think I'm the only one who can kill you, son of a ghost?"

"Monster", the word spit out from Li Xian's mouth looked extraordinarily cruel, but it also had a calmness that had been put down.Souji Okita was stunned for a moment, and in this gap, Rexian's wooden knife had already turned around Souji Okita's blade, and then touched his chest, "No, you and I are both human beings. Souji Okita, I hope you can remember this, if you die by my sword, I will feel sad too."

"call……"

Souji Okita let out a deep breath, "Human beings... yes, only when this body gradually weakened did I realize that I am still a human being. Reishen, in your opinion, human beings are weak and pathetic Is it a creature? Do troublesome things because of redundant emotions?"

"Actually, I...it doesn't matter who is in charge of the world. My general is only Sensei Kondo. That person is a good person, but he always wants to do impossible things...I understand, from the beginning I understand, the fate of the Shinsengumi... But, for the ideal of the general, for everyone to be together, I turned into a devil's son... After all, it's useless... a real devil's son...wouldn't be like this..."

"Cough...cough cough!"

Souji Okita suddenly began to cough violently, and blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, but this time Souji Okita didn't raise his hand to cover the blood, he just grabbed one of Li Xian's cuffs, took a few deep breaths and Looking up at him, "Li Xian, if you are a monster, follow the path of a monster... I don't know why you came here, but you have a mission, right? But you are doing... ...What? Accompanying a dying person here..."

"Don't take me as a reason not to do what you should do, it's very disturbing..."

It's not like he didn't fail to notice the bloody smell that filled Lixian's body these past few days.If you think about it carefully, those two children who come to the courtyard frequently will definitely attract the attention of others.It is only natural that the people of the new government army would follow their trails, after all, the head of his chief commander Okita is still very valuable.

Four years ago, Li Xian didn't participate in their battle, there was a reason for him, right?So now Li Xian kills people for him, will there be any consequences?

Rather than hoping that Reishen can stay by his side, Okita Souji hopes that this person can live well. The place where he lives must be a very happy place, so... please also replace him and live well in that place.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After listening to Okita Souji's words, Li Xian laughed, the wooden knife in his hand fell to the ground, Rexian freed both hands, hugged Okita Souji tightly, and whispered in his ear: " What if I say that my purpose here is for you?"

He thought that Souji Okita was stupid for making such a request, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was stupid.

The concealment has become a burden for this person, and he will push him away at the cost of death, just because he is worried that staying here will cause some price that he cannot afford?

That's right, originally it was because of Mr. Yutake's punishment that he became acquainted with the Shinsengumi and Okita Souji, if he was punished because of this... well, he should blame Mr. Yutake for everything.

Lixian thought about this, he didn't care about the blood on Okita Souji's lips, and pressed him into his arms, "It's okay to be troubled, please cherish your body, as for my identity, the purpose of coming here , I will tell you later."

Hearing the strong heartbeat in Lixian's chest, Souji Okita closed his eyes, and replied inaudibly, "Yes."

……

"Your Excellency Li Xian! Okita-kun's body is like this, how can you still compete with him in swordsmanship? It's too willful! In case of death..."

When the word "death" was mentioned, Dr. Matsumoto's voice stopped abruptly. He looked up at Souji Okita uneasily. He took a deep breath, then yelled at Li Xian.

"Your Excellency Lixian, please take good care of Okita-kun from now on. Okita-kun is recuperating. You cannot touch swords, and it is absolutely forbidden to try swordsmanship!"

Facing the accusations of this highly skilled but very irritable young doctor, Li Xian didn't say a word, just knelt on the ground with his head bowed, looking like a errant child being lectured by his mother.

Mr. Okita couldn't help but burst out laughing, although it was because of him that Lixian was accused by Dr. Matsumoto and made him feel guilty, but it was the first time he saw this picture of Lixian who was wronged. The appearance really made him a little inexplicably happy hahaha.

But in this regard, Okita Souji still admires Dr. Matsumoto, after all, even the ghost's deputy chief, Hijikata Toshizo, has never talked to Reisen like this.

"Doctor Matsumoto, I asked for the competition with Li Xian. If you want to talk, just talk about me..."

Before Okita Souji could finish speaking, Dr. Matsumoto turned his head and said directly: "Okita-san, are you so brave to say it! Don't you know what's going on with your own health? You still want to take Yamato Shou'an and Reiko Your Excellency, why don't you take a hammer?"

Li Xian lowered his head, the shattered hair on his forehead fell down, and he could only see that he was biting his lower lip, but the constantly trembling shoulders did reveal that he was holding back a smile.

Mr. Okita was so angry that he threw a fluffy cloth ball beside him towards Li Xian who was kneeling.Lixian seemed to have eyes on the top of his head, and he quickly reached out and received the cloth ball accurately, hugged it in his arms, and looked at Souji Okita innocently, "What's wrong?"

This is the Yamato Shouting brand cloth ball he specially made for Okita Souji, but the needlework is not very good, it seems that Yamato Shouting's face is a bit... Well, it's just Picasso, but the practice went smoothly, and I'm making the California Qingguang card The cloth dumplings are much better.

Li Xian felt that he was great.

Compared with the calmness of the string, General Okita is already gritted, ah ah ah ah ah, fire.

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have helped Li Xian to solve it. Now, Dr. Matsumoto's target of accusation has become himself instead.

Okita Souji regretted why he had to speak just now, but the consequences of what he said out of anger made Okita Souji not only regret, but also want to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"It is precisely because I know my physical condition that I want to take up the sword at the end and leave without regret."

"Leave without any regrets in the end? Okita-kun, the regrettable thing is that you still belong to Kiyodo, right? Compared to swords, objects that you have touched thousands of times, you should find a woman to get rid of you Let's be like a child!"

Dr. Matsumoto's personality has always been bright and straightforward, and he has no scruples when speaking. In addition, there are only Reixian, Mr. Okita and his three big men present, and even the old woman went to the market to buy ingredients, so he didn't I don't think it's a good idea to bring up this topic here.

"Wow, wow, Dr. Matsumoto, what are you talking about!"

Okita Souji's expression became flustered, he got up at a loss and wanted to stop Dr. Matsumoto from saying something amazing, his originally pale cheeks now turned crimson, adding a bit of anger.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Li Xian finally stopped biting his lower lip to hold back his laughter, and the refreshing laughter filled the whole room in an instant, but Dr. Matsumoto didn't know how to observe the atmosphere and said: "Your Excellency Li Xian also thinks it's strange, right? It's already 26 At the age of [-], let alone hugging a girl, I have never even held a girl's hand!"

"Doctor Matsumoto, I'm just...just..."

A certain person whom Dr. Matsumoto called "Qing Tong" was blushing in embarrassment, and was still trying to argue.

"Just what? Four years ago, Mr. Kondo's adopted daughter still confessed to you, didn't she? It's fine to let a girl confess, but you actually rejected her in public. That girl cut her neck with a knife later. Of course, after she went to San Before crossing the river, I was rescued."

While teaching Okita Souji a lesson, Dr. Matsumoto did not forget to pat his chest confidently and show off his medical skills.There is no doubt about this. In this era, Dr. Matsumoto is an outstanding doctor who was able to extend Okita Souji's life for so long after he became seriously ill.

"How is that woman now?"

Li Xian stopped laughing and asked seriously.For Dr. Matsumoto, it was four years ago, but for Li Xian, it was only a dozen days since the woman confessed to Souji Okita, so he also had a little impression.The woman's life and death had nothing to do with Reizumi, but if she knew that she committed suicide because of Okita Souji's refusal, Okita Souji would probably feel guilty about it.

This is not a pleasant thing to do.

"Now? Of course she is married and has a lovely child."

"That's good."

As Li Xian thought, after learning that the woman was fine, Director Chong Tian smiled slightly.At this time, Dr. Matsumoto said regretfully: "You said how good you accepted her at that time, and she is the adopted daughter of Mr. Kondo, with excellent character and appearance. By now, you should have one or two children, right? "

Dr. Matsumoto sighed, Okita Souji is the only son in the family, he only has two older sisters, and now his body... not even blood left...

"No, I'm glad I rejected her at that time. In this war-torn era, as a samurai, I can only bring about killing, and I can't bring happiness to anyone."

"It's because you think so, that's why you are Qingtong! At least when you went to Yoshiwara, you could find a few prostitutes, but every time you just drank and didn't do anything else... Lixian Your Excellency, do you also think that Okita-kun is so strange? There is no man..."

As Dr. Matsumoto talked, he also pulled Reixu into it. Maybe it was because Okita Souji had been talked about many times by everyone in the Shinsengumi before, so now he blushed habitually and didn't make any rebuttals.

"It's not surprising. I think Mr. Xiao is very good. Even Harada-san said that Mr. Xiao is the type of 'he will be very serious if he has a crush on a woman', isn't he?"

Li Xian looked at Souji Okita approvingly. He was known as a clean man in the Shinsengumi, not only in terms of communication with women, but also in terms of life.

Okita Souji never left any photos or portraits in his life. If he hadn't been able to come to this era to meet him, Reishen would probably never have known that this left a name in history, making countless descendants love him What does the genius swordsman look like.

All he knew was the description of Okita Souji by a reclusive old lady in a Wufu house in Kyoto of the same age as the Shinsengumi in a certain book.

"Cute baby face with big eyes, charming little tiger teeth when smiling, very popular in Kyoto, although Hijikata Toshizo is also a good man, but I prefer Okita Souji. He is very clean Sensitive people often use purple headbands to comb their hair very neatly. They usually wear clothes with blue background and fine lines, but in summer they change into white background with blue lines. The most admirable thing is that the trousers of other team members are all dirty Dirty and old, only his trousers are flat and straight."

Thinking of this, Li Xian suddenly found a way to make money. If he took a photo of Okita Souji and went back to print it and sell it for money, it should be very popular, right?

No, there is very little information about Okita Souji's appearance left in history. If he really sells photos, the violation of portrait rights is the second, and the most important thing is that it will be regarded as a fake photo produced by PS, right?What will be punished for unjustly gaining by taking advantage of the judge?

Thinking about the seriousness of losing the subtitles this time, and the hardships he had to work hard to learn Japanese, Lixian decided to give up the idea.

"...Could it be that Your Excellency Lixian is also Qingtong? Not like that, Your Excellency Lixian seems to be very popular with women."

Mr. Matsumoto, who really didn't know how to read the atmosphere, suddenly said something that even Li Xian squinted and laughed stiffly.

"I'm just waiting for someone who is good enough to dedicate myself to."

Li Xian almost gritted his teeth and said these words, Dr. Matsumoto was only slightly taken aback by this, "I'm waiting... Ah, Your Excellency Li Xian is indeed Qing Tong."

Li Xian: "..."

Okita Souji: "Ri Xian, don't draw your sword!"

The author has something to say:

I have to explain why I have been interrupted for two days!Do you think I went to Christmas?No, I sharpened a wooden knife! (Refer to Lake Toya, which does not have the word "Lake Toya" on the handle) After the knife was finished, I ground it finely and it was very smooth and beautiful, and I am very satisfied!

However, my hands were useless the next day, and they were so sore that I couldn't code at all, and I couldn't sleep because of the pain at night!

ps: Seimei: The cubs and I will go to the soul of the Toka no Orochi!

Orochi who became a new cub: Damn xx.
