The end of the curtain

"You are really calm." Ayin just smiled lightly, then put down the teacup gracefully, and said: "What I want to say is that if you really want him to be well, you have to persevere until the end , never give up."

Qianhe looked at them sternly, but couldn't say anything.Sakurai nodded slightly, letting her long bangs cover her eyebrows and eyes. At that moment, what she was thinking about was Chizuru's meaning.

After so long, what I see clearly is that I should give up.After all, they are not from the same world, so there shouldn't be any intersection in the first place.

"Regarding whether there is an intersection or not, you have done a good job and have not tampered with anything." Ayin spoke at this time, with a mysterious smile on his face, Sakurai raised his head in astonishment look at her.

How did Ah Yin know what she was thinking?

"You are sure of yourself without knowing it. It seems that you still don't know what little Qianhe is thinking." A Yin cast his eyes on the unknown Qianhe with a smile on his face. , "But whether little beauty Qianhe thinks that way, I won't say much, it's just you, what do you think—"

"—Please don't say it!" Sakurai suddenly amplified her voice and interrupted Ayin's words, and she sat down again when she realized that she had lost her composure, "I, I just want to see him safe and healthy It's good enough to live... I don't want to cause him any trouble."

"Oh~?" If you are well, is it sunny?

Qianhe suddenly felt as if he understood something, but he didn't understand their conversation.

"But didn't we advocate freedom and fraternity at that time? We are the thinking of the new era. If you like it, go after it, don't be bound by traditional thinking." A Yin smiled deeply, and stretched out his hand to stroke his messy dark purple long hair, " Well, I don't want to say much, I can only tell you to persevere... Okay, let's stop this topic, it's not good to talk too much."

Persevere?What kind of persistence is it...

"Yes, I will think about it myself." Sakurai replied in a low voice, raised his left hand slightly, and the wide cuff slid down, revealing the left wrist wearing the bracelet of bells.

"One more thing." Ayin looked up at the bell bracelet on Sakurai's left hand, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Do you know the paper kite with a broken string? Even if the rope is tied as far and wide as possible, But if you break the rope in mid-air, although you can still see it flying in mid-air, it has already lost its own direction. There is no fate, and there is no way to get back, so you have to learn to let go. Oh, it hurts so much."

"What?" Sakurai was taken aback, feeling faintly uneasy, but this time she didn't understand what Ayin meant, what did the broken paper kite mean?

"Ah, think for yourself...Actually, I came here this time to make soy sauce~" Ah Yin suddenly changed the subject, and stood up with a smile, "My mother told me to go home for dinner, so I retreated first oh~"

Blinking her eyes, A Yin was about to turn around when she suddenly remembered something: "Some things don't need to follow some so-called foregone conclusions and wait for them invariably. It's not about changing, but about disappearing. This is probably the best thing. There is a way. So, Sakurai-san, Chizuru-san, you all have to work hard!"

Come on!I will always support you guys!

For a moment, a pale green light shone across the room, and when the light dissipated, Ayin had disappeared.

Qianzuru was a little dazed, and reacted subconsciously looking at Sakurai, Sakurai just complained silently in his heart, "I'll clean up this stall", and explained the facts to Qianzuu without reservation, although one less person knew It was better, but she believed that Qianhe would not tell others.

"So Miss Ayin is an onmyoji, did my father ever say that kind of onmyoji who subdue ghosts?" Seeing Sakurai nodding with a gentle smile on his face, Chizuru's pure dark brown eyes shone brightly. , "It's amazing, it's the first time I've seen it, and I thought—" The topic suddenly stopped, and she wanted to say that there are not only human races in this world.

Yes, not only the human race, but also the ghost race?Me, I'm afraid I'm not... and my lord father...

"Qianhe, actually I don't think there is any need to care about that kind of thing." There was a moment of silence, but it was Sakurai's voice that broke the silence, "The real emotion between life is based on treating each other with sincerity."

"Hey? You know?" Chizuru couldn't help being a little surprised, and Sakurai didn't hold back: "From what Chikage Kazama said when she came to the village that day, I know you care a lot. In fact, everyone has always treated us very much. Take care." It wasn't until Chikage Kazama came to the village that afternoon that Sakurai remembered the reason why Chizuru had been depressed recently from his few words.

"I might not, I'm not a human being, but a ghost..." Qianhe lowered her head, her soft voice trembling slightly, "Won't Xiaoxu be afraid of me? And everyone...and Father—"

Chikage Kazama said clearly in front of everyone that her father has now given up on the shogunate and chose to stand on the side of the Changzhou clan that is opposed to the shogunate, but Chizuru's heart is completely rooted in the shogunate. New group.In terms of her father's daughter and her heart, if it is true, she doesn't know how to choose.

"Don't be afraid, everyone has treated each other sincerely from the beginning. Everyone didn't have any doubts about you because of Chikage Kazama's words, right? It's not just because you don't believe in Kazama, but also because everyone knows Chikage Kazama very well. Crane is a man, we have been together for so long, we have long been facing each other with sincerity. Similarly, no matter what your status is, we are always friends and family, this is an unchangeable fact." Sakurai smiled softly said.

We have always been friends, we are family...

"Really? Do you really not mind?" Qianhe raised his head, although there were tears in his eyes, they were full of moving smiles.

"Of course, you are our lovely little Chizuru, so cheer up." Sakurai stretched out his hand to rub her bangs, with an undeniable affirmation in a flat tone.Thinking of what was about to happen in the near future, she lowered her hands, and the bells that collided with each other made a crisp and fine jingle sound, "Then there will be unexpected surprises."

I hope that girl named Xiaoqian can completely dispel the haze in Qianhe's heart. Qianhe's heart is as pure as water, and it is indeed not suitable to have any impurities.

"Yes, I understand!"

—————————————————————

One day not long after, when Harada came back from his inspection at noon, he was accompanied by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

The girl has a beautiful appearance, dignified and polite manners, and a hint of charm. She is dressed in a gorgeous yellow kimono. At first glance, it makes people think that she is the eldest lady of a big family.

That girl was called Linglu Qianji. When Qianhe saw her, she looked surprised. She was a girl Qianhe met on the street not long ago.

At that time, three self-proclaimed samurai were bullying an old man and a child. Qianji happened to pass by and saw that the world was cold and no one came to help. Chizuru, who was out on patrol with Saito, ran out and stood in front of them.

——You guys, as a samurai, how can you shoot at the elderly and children?Only those who stand up and protect the weak can be called warriors, right?

The three so-called samurai became furious when they heard the words, and they all drew their swords to slash at Qianzuru, but Saito easily knocked them over with the back of his sword.

So just like that, Qianhe met a girl named Qianji.

"Qianhe sauce, I know there is a meatball shop that is delicious, why don't we go together." Qianji excitedly pulled Xiao Qianhe and proposed. Qianhe naturally wanted to go, but she didn't pass by. With the consent of the earth party, she was not allowed to go out casually.

"Ah, it's okay, I'll go with you." Harada, leaning against the corner and watching them with a smile, had already taken off his light-colored haori and changed back into his normal clothes.

"Well, thank you!" So the three of them walked towards the door one after the other, and happened to see Sakurai who was coming out of the infirmary after passing the door with Chinese medicine.

"Huh?~~Little Chizuru, is she a girl too?" Chihime could tell the real gender of Sakurai, who was dressed in men's clothing and had a slender figure, at a glance.That's true, Sakurai got up late today and didn't bother to tie her ponytail, so she just took a hair tie and tied her long hair loosely behind her back, which was a bit like Saito's way of tying her hair.

Ah, I'm a little confused.It is really puzzling that the Shinsengumi, which is rumored to be murderous, will have a girl in the garrison.

"Yes, Xiaoqian, she is Xiaoxu, the team doctor of the Xinxuan team." Xiaoqianhe smiled gently, and then walked over with Qianji.When Sakurai turned around and saw Chihime who took the initiative to say hello, she didn't show much reaction, she just smiled lightly, as if she already knew it.

"Hi, my name is Qianji. You can call me Xiaoqian. It's the first time we meet." Qianji smiled pretty, and Sakurai slightly bowed in return: "Hello, I'm Sakurai. It's the first time we meet."

Sure enough, Qianji is a lively girl. Qianzuru will definitely feel much better when she goes out this time, and she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Qianhe was about to invite Sakurai to go out together, and Harada also smiled gently: "If you are all girls, it is good to go out and get together, Xiaoxu, don't always stay in the garrison busy here and there, follow Qianhe and the others Let's go for a walk."

"Xiao Xu? If you want, let's go out together and eat meatballs!" Qian Ji warmly invited, and Sakurai suddenly thought that he would have to cook medicine for the chief executive, so he said apologetically: "No, thank you very much Xiaoqian, but I still have something to do next."

"That's it, then okay, we must go together next time!"

"Ok."

……

After seeing off Chizuru and the others, Sakurai couldn't help but feel a little happy seeing them happy.But when his eyes were cast on the medicine bag in his hand, the slight smile on his face stiffened a lot when he thought of the chief executive's condition.

Recently, the general manager is a little strange, he is a bit indifferent to her who brings medicine, and he rarely teases her like before.She knew very well that the chief executive had fully understood her condition from Dr. Matsumoto. As a normal person, when she heard that she was terminally ill, she would be very disturbed.

Even so, she insisted on delivering medicine every day, never willing to relax.Even if the chief executive didn't want to touch it, she still stubbornly sent the bowl over.If the chief executive was unwilling to move, she would simply sit there and wait until the chief executive had no choice but to drink the medicine.

Today, the general manager has no tasks, and Mr. Tukata sees that he has not recovered from the "wind and cold" for a long time, so he always tries to push some team tasks for him.

The same is true today.

It was the hot season of August at this time, but the huge backyard of the Xinxuan Group was full of foliage, and the golden sunlight penetrated through the only gaps between the leaves, casting tiny spots of light on the ground.

The director opened his clothes, and Jiahe Qingguang who was holding him leaned lazily under a tall tree with his eyes slightly knocked down.

Even though Sakurai came here to deliver medicine to him, but seeing the Souji who was sleeping peacefully from a distance, he subconsciously lightened his steps.When he saw the Chief Secretary's wide open collar slid to reveal the graceful lines of his white belly, he didn't have time to blush, but frowned slightly.

It's easy to catch a cold if you sleep like this.

The vigilance of a samurai is still far higher than that of ordinary people. When Sakurai just took a step, the chief secretary suddenly opened those dark green eyes, which were slightly dark and not as cunning as before. smile.

It was a rare look for a chief executive, even so, the tranquility that appeared in his eyes seemed surprisingly uncontroversial, as if he belonged to the kind of calm-minded person, but Sakurai was even more so. Hope this is an illusion.

No one will be sad when encountering such a thing.But Sakurai knew very well that what the Souji was sad about was not the fear of his own life that would be lost at any time.What makes him sad must be the Shinsengumi that he cares about, and Mr. Kondo whom he has respected since he was a child.

"Sousse-kun, drink the medicine." Sakurai calmed down a little, and said softly.But after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the general manager, and there was no movement.Unwilling to give up, he took the initiative to hand over the medicine.

"Even if you drink it, it's useless." The chief commander's cool voice came, and Sakurai's hand movements were stagnant, and suddenly he felt very sour in his heart.

is that useful?You are right, it has been nothing but comforting yourself in the heart, and the only effect is to slightly suppress the illness.It seems that he really knows, Director, are you blaming me for not telling you from the beginning?

"I'm sorry." For the first time, Sakurai lowered his soft voice, and expressed the apology buried in his heart to the chief executive, "But please believe, I will definitely cure you."

There was silence, suddenly there was only the "rustling" sound of wind blowing grass, a gust of wind blew past gently, and the long black hair was blown away in the wind, covering half of the girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes.

"If it can't be cured." The director's voice was dull, obviously disbelieving.That's right, how many people have been killed by this disease, including my own parents.If he will be bedridden all the time in the near future, then what's the point of his being alive?

"If it can't be cured, I'll end it myself." If it really can't be cured, in the end, it's easier to die than make yourself feel guilty and sad for the rest of your life.At that moment, she really had the determination to repay her with death.

"..." For the first time, the chief executive was speechless when facing the determined Sakurai. Although he didn't want Sakurai to seek death, he heard her firm words that he was willing to die for him. There is actually a bit of joy in my heart.

"—Pfft, idiot." A smile bloomed on Hu's handsome face, and his dark green eyes slightly narrowed into a gentle arc that he hadn't even noticed, but there was a faint cunning in it.Stretching out his slender and white right hand, he rubbed Sakurai's hair, and said softly, "Then you must keep your word, or I will cut you off."

Hey?

Faced with the sudden change of the chief executive, Sakurai was stunned for a moment.But after a pause, she smiled slightly: "Okay, I will definitely work hard."

I will definitely work hard so that you can stay in the Shinsengumi, realize your ideals, and stay with Mr. Kondo.

come on!Also please...
