"sorry Sorry……"

The two spoke in unison.After a brief silence, Zuo Zhi took another step forward, and hugged Ling Zi who was trembling.

"Cough..." Someone was coughing.They let go of each other, and it was Saito who reminded him with his voice.Only then did they realize that there were others around them.If only they hadn't misunderstood that Zuo Zhi likes men or something... Lingzi grinned and actually laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zuo Zhi and Saito were baffled by her.

"Ah, it's nothing... By the way, Hijikata-san went to the mountain, right?" After receiving Saito's affirmative answer, she went on to say: "The opportunity for the Shinsengumi to perform has come, and now we must gather our own people to prepare some Buckets. The more the merrier!"

"What's the use? At this moment, how can I have time to collect buckets." Saito saw the meaningful look Lingzi gave Zuozhi.

"You will know soon. But remember, it can only be our own people! Don't let people from the Aizu domain get involved." When she said this, she deliberately avoided other people.She couldn't say any more, the fire in Kyoto was about to burn out.Those guys in Changzhou, as soon as Sakamoto left, no one restrained them, they started to act.And if outsiders know that the Shinsengumi was preparing to put out the fire before the fire started, it may cause unreasonable suspicion.

Saito and the others split into two ways to prepare.Zuozhi and Lingzi went all the way.

"Is there anything you want to ask? I will tell you everything." She said this with a little confidence.She had just been away from him for so long just now.Instead of getting angry, he greeted himself with a hug.Although my heart was warm, I felt even more guilty.When Zuo Zhi didn't ask anything, she just told her itinerary in the morning.

"I wanted to go back to the garrison early in the morning, but I heard gunfire on the way. I generally knew what happened, so I ran to the Aizu domain to find out where you were. I left. So I chased after them to the place where the gunfire was concentrated. After searching for a long time, I happened to meet Ha Yi, and then followed him to find you." She really ran after their tails all the way. Find them before the cast splits up, but it's still a step too late.She didn't hesitate at all when she chose to find Zuozhi or go to the mountain to find earthworks.

"Lingzi, although I have a lot to ask you. But for now, let's concentrate on dealing with troublesome things! If you encounter danger in a while, go back to the village to find Shannan-sang and the others. We will go back after we deal with it here."

"You are still as gentle as ever. Even for a person like me, aren't you willing to be a little bit fierce to me? I hope you can scold me severely. "

He stopped on his way, and Lingzi also stopped.He put his generous palm on Lingzi's head, still feeling familiar: "It's okay."

Looking into Lingzi's eyes, he could only feel gratitude in his heart.Fortunately, when she reappeared, she was not an enemy. "I've changed my mind, don't go back to the village. Just stay by my side, no matter what the danger is, I will protect you!"

"Ok!"

————————————————————————————————————————

After dealing with the fire in Kyoto, the Shinsengumi and his team dragged their exhausted bodies back to the settlement.Everyone leaned against the assembly hall twisted and crooked.The reason why they didn't go back to their respective rooms was because the deputy chief called all the cadres to report on the results of today's battles.Only Saito and Zuozhi looked strange, but no one noticed.

"Thanks for your hard work!" The crisp voice sounded, and everyone responded as usual, but they all looked in the direction of the voice as if they had seen a ghost.

"Natsume?" Shannan called out her name first.

"If you act rashly, don't blame me for being rude." At this time, Tufang had already reacted, or overreacted, and pointed the unsheathed sword in his hand at the girl who suddenly appeared after disappearing.

"Slow down!" Zuo Zhi yelled, but he couldn't stop him because of the distance.And Saito, who was closer to the door and Ling Azusa and Hijikata, got up and walked over unhurriedly, as if knowing that Hijikata would not really attack Ling Azusa, he gently pushed Hijikata's sword away. "Deputy Chief, she saved me and Zuo Zhi in the battle just now, so we decided it wasn't an enemy, so we brought her back."

"Saved you?" Hearing this, he put his sword back into the scabbard.But his eyes were still stern.He didn't forget how he looked when he saw her two days ago, although it was a different face and a different identity.

"Yes, we had conflicts with people from Changzhou and Satsuma at that time, and she appeared to resolve them. And..." Zuo Zhi lowered his volume to ensure that only the cadres in the room could hear: "Let us prepare in advance Lingzi is responsible for the fire-fighting equipment. So, if we have done a great job this time, then she is the number one hero."

Again!What the hell is this woman doing.On the contrary, Tufang was irritated by this sentence, and it was fine to always play tricks, but before he left without saying anything, now he came back as if nothing happened.No matter what abilities she has, doesn't she take them too seriously?She always stirred up all kinds of emotions in him.

He reprimanded unkindly: "No matter what you do, until I figure out who you are, you will be regarded as the enemy of the Shinsengumi." He looked directly into Lingzi's eyes, because she never Will avoid his gaze, especially when confronted with him.What's rare is that this time, he saw guilt in her eyes.

"Zuo Zhi, Ah Yi, thank you for explaining for me. However, I think it's better for me to explain myself. Including the ins and outs of everything, and who I am. This time when I come back, I just want to hold that there is no longer any A secret determination. Hijikata-san, are you willing to listen to me? The choice is yours, and if you say that I am arrested and killed as a traitor of the Shinsengumi, I have no complaints."

"Hijikat-san! Azusa has already said that, of course we have to give her a chance to explain!" Hirasuke couldn't bear his temper and gave her a chance first.

"I also think, Hichikata-san, anyway, she can't escape in front of us all by herself." Okita even helped her speak.

"Kondo-san, Shannan-san, what do you think?" Hijikata looked at the two of them.

"Since she is willing to explain, you might as well listen to it. After all, I am also very interested." Shannan said.

"I agree too. Natsume also come in and sit down, and explain to everyone what's going on." Kondo always smiled kindly.

Ling Zi sat on the vacated seat and pursed her lips.Although I don’t know if it’s right, but what Sakamoto said is right, impulse may be better than reason, and it may be better to believe in one’s feelings. "You may find it unbelievable what I'm going to say next, but I guarantee that everything is true, and there is no half-truth."

"Lingzi, are you sure?" Zuo Zhi was still a little worried.It's not that I'm afraid that everyone won't believe it, but if she exposes her identity like this, will there be any bad effects such as "retribution"?

Ling Zi nodded, and she gave Zuo Zhi a reassuring look.

"So... where do I start..." She seemed to be talking to herself.Although I have thought about when I will tell everyone my identity countless times, but if I really want to say it, I still don't know how to say it. "I'm not from here. Or, I'm not from this era..."

Sure enough, everyone's eyes were very confused, and many handsome faces with frowning made Lingzi decide to speak more bluntly. "I'm from the future." Now everyone's brows were further frowned, but it was no longer unclear, but unbelievable.

"I guess it's hard for you to accept...Actually...I came through time and space a hundred years later. The body you see now is just me living in Ms. Yagi's body. It is said that my soul is her reincarnation. , so we have the same appearance, so I can enter her body. My name is Natsume Azusa, this is true. So, you think some of the practices and behaviors that I had difficulty explaining before can be understood? Because originally , No, maybe the future me likes the Shinsengumi very much, so after getting to know you, I stayed by your side and never left. I even used the favor of Yagi-san to help you to get to know you, and even stayed. Because I know the future, so many times I will say something that makes you feel inexplicable, or do something beyond common sense, the purpose is to prevent bad things from happening..."

"Wait..." After hearing the latter words, Tufang was still digesting the previous words. "You mean... Yagi-san and the others know all of this?"

"Well, I know. They told me about my relationship with Ms. Yagi. As for how they knew it, they only know that they have seen a mysterious old man. They are just parents who love their daughter and don't want her body to die. , So, accepting another soul... I also feel very sorry for them. I took up their daughter's body, but I couldn't be with them."

"Why can't you stay with them? Speaking of which, why do you want to approach Shinsengumi?"

"I said it just now, I just like you... Maybe it's all predestined. When you are constantly fighting for your ideals, standing next to you, I see your joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. The reason is more simple..." The process of leaving a name in history is too difficult, and the price paid is too heavy.I want to do my best to change those.For me, it may be very selfish, even if I change the future, I don't want you to live according to the original ending... Lingzi still has something to say.

"Nah! Hearing you say that, can you think that we will be famous in the future?" Shinpachi and Hesuke looked at each other, a little excited.

"Well... let me confirm one thing before I can tell you the answer. Because, I have always wanted to change the future..." She didn't say it clearly, but it was clear enough that the future was not that good.

"Is the ending very bad? But as long as you can realize your own value, who cares how you die..." Okita seemed to be careless, but he was also listening carefully.

"Really... It seems that I underestimated your minds..." Lingzi felt that she still couldn't catch up with their consciousness.

"What did you want to confirm just now?"

"The Ikedaya incident, are you injured, Chief? You were injured by Kazama."

"Well, you know that...it doesn't look like a liar..."

"Hey... Sure enough, I knew that I still can't change the future. No matter how I change those small details, the result is still the same. In fact, I was quite worried before I left. You should have seen it, I stayed I already knew that they would be in Ikeda House, so I didn’t want you to disperse your forces. If it was all the troops, you would definitely not be killed or injured. However, if it is a note left by a traitor, you How could they still believe it..." In fact, it's not bad for them not to believe, without the achievements of Ikeda House, maybe it will just become an organization that no one cares about, maybe it will be disbanded one day, maybe it will become ordinary people, maybe just won't die! "But in the end, things still happened at Ikeda House. Even if I revealed the secret, nothing changed. You still focused on Shikokiya, divided into two groups, and then assembled at Ikeda House. The chief was still injured. , I still saw Kazama and the others..."

"No..." After she said this, Zuo Zhi felt that something was wrong. "If you put it that way, it's still different... isn't it, Hijikata-san?"

Hijikata seemed a little reluctant, but he still took Zuozhi’s words and said: “It’s different. We were planning to all go to Shikokuya. At the last moment, Sannan-san remembered your note. Although he hesitated, But we finally sent some people there. It should be said that thanks to your reminder, we didn't miss out."

"It's better to say that I am the one who changed the future back to its original state..." If they went to the Shikoku House just like that...it's all my own fault.Has the future returned to the right track in this form?But at least you can be sure that what you do has indeed had an impact. "But, do you really accept the nonsense that I am a person from the future?"

"Even people like Rakshasa who can't be killed can exist in the world, and people like Chikage Kazama who say they disappear can exist. There is nothing unbelievable about time and space travel... Besides, carefully Think about it, what you have been doing all along, if it is for this reason, it really makes sense." Saito analyzed.

"Speaking of Rakshasa, I'm more concerned about why you smashed all the changes, but left one behind." Shannan asked.If she really knows everything, then it means that the change she has opposed from the very beginning is not a good thing.But why leave one?
