The end of the curtain

?A bright moon hangs high in the dark blue and cloudless night sky, exuding a bleak brilliance. Under the deep sky, the red maple leaves that look like blood are hanging on the branches and swaying with the dry but cold autumn wind. Transformed into a bewitching face, dancing recklessly and beautifully in the quiet night sky.

The wound on his hand was actually not as serious as imagined, although it still hurts faintly, but Sakurai's mind has not been here all this time, but something that has been on his mind since the very beginning.

It's not that she didn't see that scene when she passed by the yard with Yamazaki this morning.Qianzuru brushed the chief's hair with a tough attitude, and the chief did not dodge, but was talking about what she said, although she didn't hear the details clearly, but she knew the content.

In other words, two years ago, when she was still in modern times, she already knew about it.I have always thought that the reason why the headmaster likes Chizuru is that when she watched anime with her classmates, she didn't watch it from the beginning to the end like her classmates, but started watching when Chizuru called Heisuke to wake up.

At that time, she didn't feel anything when she saw today's scene. She just got to the back and felt that the fate of Okita Souji was very sad... They have known each other for two years until today, and now thinking about it in detail, she always feels that what happened today Everything I experienced was so dreamy and unrealistic, but it happened to be realistic.

From the gossip among some cadres and the situation he has observed all the time, Yamazaki also guessed something, so he subconsciously looked at Sakurai, but Sakurai just glanced at him and smiled indifferently Laugh, and then continue to discuss the question about the medication in the team just now.

The attitude shown is as if the matter has nothing to do with him and he didn't see it.

But at the same time, she also silently confirmed in her heart the thing that had been swaying in her mind for a long time.Although she is not a magnanimous person who can accommodate everything, she has no choice but does not want to do that. Although it is very sad, she has no choice but to submit and let nature take its course.

——When your condition stabilizes, and when I give Qianhe some instructions, it's time for me to leave. At that time, I will travel around the world and come back in a few years.If the ending cannot be changed, I... no!I can do it! !So you two support me! !I will definitely be back! ! !You will be defeated before I come back by then, if you still dare to abandon Qianhe and make me waste so many years of painstaking efforts and make Qianhe sad, be careful that I will follow you and beat you to death! !

Although I may not be able to beat you, I will definitely try my best to beat you down.

Thinking of this, Sakurai stopped his footsteps and clenched his fists involuntarily on the spot, his beautiful lips curved slightly in an imperceptible arc, which was completely expressed from the inexplicable heroism and surge in his heart.

Don't know whether to cry or laugh... well, I'm laughing, right?definitely laughing...

hahahahahahahahaha……

In the long and quiet night, the whirling mottled tree shadows are intertwined in light and darkness, and the quietly falling and rotating red maple leaves whisper to tell the loneliness and sadness of this late autumn night, accompanied only by the desolate moonlight.

It turned out that I had already come here before I knew it. Didn't I just say that I was going to the medical office?It seems that I was too involved in thinking about things, so I went in the wrong direction.

Well, hurry up to confirm the direction and go back, according to Chizuru-chan's character, if she doesn't see anyone for a long time, she will definitely run around looking for someone.

Thinking of this, Sakurai stroked the bangs on his forehead vigorously to wake himself up, and then turned his head to try to identify where he was.

In a yard full of maple trees, then this should be...the atrium...then turn back and you can go back to the hall...

So he turned around subconsciously, and at the same time when the slight cold wind passed through the long hair and stroked his cheeks, he felt a strange breath inexplicably.

That strange feeling is like seeing blood-colored cherry blossoms in full bloom under the night in a suffocating darkness, the beauty of crimson and the terrifying arrogance.

——tight and irresistible...

So in the next second, he raised his eyes and inadvertently saw the golden figure standing among the shadows of the trees.

The condescending, crimson maple-like blood eyes are always full of unruly arrogance, that kind of pride that disdains everything makes people feel inexplicably lonely.The golden robe fluttered up and down in the darkness, and the corners of her lips curled up into a slight smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

"... Kazama... Chikage..." Sakurai widened her eyes in astonishment for a moment. Although she didn't meet many times, it was absolutely impossible for her to forget this ghost master who always appeared unexpectedly.

"Oh? That's how you talk to your master, and the Sakurai family's upbringing is only like this?" Chikage Kazama's serious mocking expression gradually turned into a bloody color in Sakurai's eyes.

"I..." Master...?I... I don't remember knowing you before!

Facing her, Sakurai is vigilant. Although he has saved her many times, it is only because he is hostile to the Shinsengumi.

...So I say that I have no conscience, what an unbearable person...

"Heh..." Kazama Chikage suddenly jumped from the maple branch, and then, like a piece of golden light feather, landed steadily and soundlessly on the bluestone floor in front of Sakurai.With a mocking and disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked towards Sakurai step by step, with the elegance and arrogance of being a ghost in every gesture.

Sakurai subconsciously stepped back step by step, and subconsciously pressed his white hand on the black handle of the "Big Dipper" at his waist, as if he was about to draw his sword to defend.

I always feel that nothing will happen to him. After all, he has saved his life from the minions of death. Even though he was prepared, the knife in his hand has not been drawn out for a long time.

"...Mr. Kazama..." A voice as soft as silk but yet tough came out, and at the same time as hearing this familiar voice, Sakurai turned around almost instantly in a second.

"—Little Chizuru." Sakurai looked at Qianzuru who was standing at the corner with a surprised expression on his face, but the surprise that had just appeared in his heart was suppressed by the ensuing worries, "Don't come here!"

Chikage Kazama, could it be that she wanted to kidnap Little Qianhe... No way!The fate of Qianhe being taken away by him will only become a tool for the ghost clan to give birth to children!If that's the case, what should the general manager do? !Everyone in the Shinsengumi will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen! ! !

Aware of this problem, Sakurai also showed anxiety on his face, and was about to yell at Qianzuru to tell her not to come, but Qianzuu rushed over quickly and stood beside her.

"What are you here for?" Qianhe's soft voice was not vicious, although it was not enough to bring deterrence, it was somewhat sonorous and firm.

"——I am not here to fight this time. It is annoying for a group of country dogs pretending to be samurai to swarm up." Chikage Kazama said with disgust, and Sakurai frowned at Chikage Kazama's arrogance. The more he thought about the insult, the more angry he became. Just as he was about to speak, Qianhe retorted first: "No! Those who can protect their families and the people are the real warriors!"

Sakurai suppressed the anger in her heart a little bit, and after staying rational, she grabbed Chizuru's hand, and didn't want to entangle with Chikage Kazama on such an arrogant question, so she took Chizuru behind her without hesitation , although it is unavoidable that the palms of the hands will sweat slightly, but now is not the time to be so frightened that you lose your mind.

Qianhe can't just be taken away by him here... so now we must find a way to delay the time until the moment when everyone hears the sound and rushes over.It's just a responsibility, if it wasn't for looking for herself, Qianhe wouldn't be in the current danger.

"Oh, as a female ghost of the Xuecun family, doesn't she have the consciousness of being a ghost?" Chikage Kazama smiled coldly, Qianhe obviously froze when she heard the words, and her amber eyes dimmed instantly.

In fact, Qianhe has always been very concerned about the fact that she is not a human being but a ghost race... She obviously wants to be with everyone all the time, but if everyone knows that she is not a human being, what will they think...

Chizuru's body trembled slightly, not because she was afraid of Chikage Kazama in front of her, but because she thought about how everyone in the Shinsengumi would think of her if she knew about it, and if she did that, would she be helpless...

A warm but small hand suddenly held his hand, wrapping the cold back of his hand, but felt that the slightly cool warmth instantly dispelled the haze in his heart.

Chizuru was surprised and quickly raised his head to look around, but what caught his eyes was Sakurai's quiet and gentle smile like a lotus flower blooming at the bottom of a deep valley: "Qianzuru, don't worry about these problems, as long as you can stay with everyone forever Don’t give up, no one will give up on you no matter what.”

...Yeah, obviously everyone is such a gentle person, even though there are rumors among the common people in Kyoto that the Shinsengumi is murderous, but after getting along with everyone for so long, it's not that she doesn't know that everyone in the Shinsengumi is actually They are fighting for their ideals, for defending their home and country, and for the "sincerity" of General Tokugawa hundreds of years ago. Their nature is not to kill bloody people, and they will not kill other people's lives casually...

——I, believe in everyone, believe in Xiaoxu.

"Xiaoxu, I want to fight with you this time." Qianhe's voice was as soft as clouds, but with unquestionable affirmation, "Although I can't do anything, I want to stand by everyone's side , I want to fight together."

is it?Fight together, with Chizuru, with everyone... Of course it's good, although we can't help much, but at least we can fight together, at least we can do something, can't we?

"Even if Xiao Qianhe is the female ghost in your mouth, so what, but she should have her own life and freedom, and you have no right to interfere." Once Chikage Kazama made a move, the two of them absolutely had no room to fight back and the strength to resist.But if you don't try to hold on to the end, how can there be hope.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kazama, I don't want to go with you, I want to have my own freedom." Chizuru looked at Chikage Kazama with a determined face, but the mocking smile on his lips became more and more clear , seems to be a bit interested: "——Just rely on you?"

——If it's these two brats, they're naturally incapable.

The deep voice sounded as calmly as the leaves whirling in the night wind, with an innate calmness and calmness.

The two girls were stunned, recalling the familiar voice Qianzuru quickly turned his head to follow the prestige, when he saw the slightly frowning visitor, a smile of surprise broke out on Qianzuru's face: "Mr. Hijikata!"

With his hands clasped in his sleeves habitually, Tufang walked slowly against the slightly cold night wind, but blocked them invisibly.

The wind blew his long jet-black hair like a crow's feather, and the fluttering blood-red maple leaves twirled between the flying long hair and gradually flew down. ?
