Originally, Zuozhi asked her to go to Nanquan together today, but Lingzi thought about it and refused. "Tomorrow, I'll go find her by myself. There are some things that we can't talk about when you're here~" Zuo Zhi also felt that it made sense, so he didn't ask any more.They went to the training ground together in the afternoon, but Azusa didn't participate, she just sat and watched.

"Lazy again?" Hirasuke just came back from patrol and saw Azusa who was sitting alone watching everyone's training.

She, who was in deep thought before, heard someone talking to herself, and then she lost her train of thought. "Don't make it so obvious!"

She was considering whether to go to Tufang just now, because she had too much to say to him, but because of this, she felt that she had nothing to say.Is doing nothing the best option?She has always been too obsessed with the facts she knows, but never thought about the impact of the unknown part on the development of things.Moreover, she didn't know how to speak, and what she said would only be taken as a joke or a bluff.

The arrival of Hirasuke made her suddenly think of one thing, her meddling nature is really not easy to control. "Hirasuke, do you know someone named Kokotaro Ito..." She regretted it as soon as she said it.

"Huh?" His surprise was written all over his face. "How do you know him? I probably haven't told anyone in the group..."

"I have my own channel! Actually, it's nothing, but no matter what, don't involve him in the Shinsengumi. Definitely! Please!" She was heartbroken, and directly asked Hirasuke.It can be regarded as a vaccination. Once that person comes to the Shinsengumi, Saito Heisuke will leave, and even Heisuke will die... The only thing she can do is this, that person was brought by Heisuke, as long as he If it is not recommended, Kondo-san should not recruit them into the Shinsengumi, and the subsequent split will not happen.Moreover, Hirasuke was easy to fool, although it sounded unbelievable, but he was so confused that he forgot to ask how Ling Azusa knew the existence of this person.

No one knows whether her considerations are necessary, because no choice is foolproof, just like she never thought about the idea of ​​using Bian Ruo Shui to heal the knife wound that was not originally in Shannan's mind, and she did not use it Kokotaro Ito and Hirasuke, who was connected with the Shinsengumi, may have had similar ideas after her warning.From this point of view, the culprit of everything became her.

Because of her impulsiveness at this time, she decided not to talk to Tufang again, otherwise she would have to say something irreparable at that time.And that night, she sneaked into Zuo Zhi's room again, and even stayed in his room to sleep at night.

As soon as she opened her eyes in the morning, she patted her face. Today is very important.There is a decision to make: stay in the Shinsengumi, or leave with Ryoma Sakamoto?There are too many things to do today, so she left most of yesterday's time to Zuo Zhi. Today, maybe it would be better not to meet him.And there is no need to worry about meeting the deputy chief today, he is busy interrogating the prisoner who was brought back from Osaka, so he has no time to pay attention to himself now.



Sakamoto Ryoma came to the secret place where the two separated two days ago as scheduled.No one has come yet.But it's also normal, because he came a long time early.I deliberately didn't go to A Miao's shop tonight, for fear of burdening her.If she came today, then there is no need to go there in the future. If she didn't come, then the next time we meet, just pretend that nothing happened~ He is not such a petty person, and he also believes in his heart that A Miao is not that species of people.

"Awaited."

There was an expectant voice behind him, there was no hesitation or hesitation in it, and it could be seen that it had been carefully considered.

"What about the one who made you sad?"

"I really admire your vision. It's all right, the misunderstanding has been resolved."

"It's a misunderstanding... But, now that the misunderstanding has been solved, do you still want to go with me?"

"Do you think I'm just using you as an umbrella? I'm really considering your invitation."

"You who don't appear as a geisha are much different from the you I know in ordinary times." Now she is more casual and natural than when she is dressed up in usual clothes.

"What? If there is a difference, do you want to go back on your word?"

"No no," he waved his hand: "I think it's getting better. Since you're here, does it mean that after these two days of calm consideration, you still decided to leave here? Speaking of which, you actually know me well. Very limited."

"Why does it sound like you're trying to persuade me not to go with you?" She smiled, "I know you far more than you know me. But don't worry, I haven't investigated you or anything .On the other hand, didn’t you back down? In fact, I made up my mind that day. It has nothing to do with whether there is a misunderstanding or the truth of the matter. It just made me understand my weakness and understand that I have been acting on my emotions. Enlightenment, it is impossible to fulfill my ideal. These two days are the time you have left for me, but in fact I want you to know whether you really want me to enter your life. I am very will cause trouble."

"I'm the least afraid of trouble. And I appreciate people with ideals, especially ordinary people who still have hope in ordinary life. This is why I want to take you away. You should not be limited to this kind of place. Go help me!"

"Before you are sure, I think, there are some things I should tell you. At least, I have to tell you about this. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to you. With a person full of secrets, you are really not afraid that I am a bad person." Want to hurt you?"

"If you want to do this, do it long ago."

"Ha, yes. Now, this is the trust I entrusted to you: all along, the me you see is not the real me." Looking at Sakamoto's confused expression, she further explained: "I can I can freely change my appearance. I used to be a geisha in Shimabara as A Miao, but my name and face are not real." After that, she took out the makeup remover wipes from her pocket and wiped them off in front of him. own protective color.

Sakamoto Ryoma stared intently at first, then moved closer to her face, and took a closer look at Ayasuke who had regained her original appearance.He blinked several times in a row, and then said: "This look is obviously more beautiful! Haha... But, it's really amazing, can you change your face by wiping a piece of paper? You really keep telling me I'm pleasantly surprised! But..." He was silent for a while, Lingzi thought he was going to make a big announcement, but he didn't expect the next sentence to be: "But... your gender is not fake, is it?"

She glared at him with a bit of relief: "I am a real woman. Hey, does my being a man and woman have a great influence on your decision? If you want to take me back to be a wife or concubine or something, I don't want to!"

"Haha, don't worry too much~ It's just that if you are a man, my admiration for you may be slightly reduced. After all, what I care most about is that women can also master so much knowledge. If it is a man, although it is also very powerful , but not so surprised."

"So, having said so much, can I go with you?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, by the way... Before I leave, I have one more thing to ask you." After getting Sakamoto's consent, she said her request: "I went to the store just now, and I wanted to ask Sister Nanquan to explain the future situation. But I got a very bad news. Sister Nanquan had an accident..."

Sakamoto also knew Nanquan, and before Lingzi, Nanquan was responsible for entertaining him. "Huh? What's wrong with her?" Judging by Lingzi's expression, it was not ordinary bad news, but very, very bad news.

"She committed suicide..." She struggled to utter these words.Zuo Zhi didn't know about it yet, because she told him not to come to Shimabara today, originally to have a better talk with Nanquan, but unexpectedly, she missed the last meeting inadvertently.

"why!?"

"I don't know..." She generally knew what happened to Nanquan before, and it must be related to that incident, so she couldn't say.But it was unexpected that she was forced to this extent. "It was said that she disappeared the night before yesterday. Someone found her hanging from a tree by the river yesterday, but because there was no one who knew her nearby, it took some time until someone recognized her this morning and found her. It’s only when the other geisha in the store go to meet people, everyone knows. It’s all my fault... If I cared about her a little more, this tragedy would not have happened. She must have accumulated a lot of pain in her heart, so she Choose to leave in this way..."

Sakamoto pondered for a long time. "I see... Do you want to see her before you go?"

"Well, time is tight, so in order not to delay meeting you, I came here in a hurry, and I haven't had time to see her for the last time."

"Let me go with you, it can be regarded as having some friendship with her. However, you'd better change back to the makeup you just had. No one should have seen you now."

Lingzi was amazed by his meticulousness, not only quickly accepted and digested her first secret, but even thought about these little things for her.From Lingzi's brief contact with him, she felt more and more that this person is not just for nothing.Perhaps, this is not a stupid decision.
