The end of the curtain

Chikage Kazama didn't show any surprise at Hijikata's appearance, but she was as arrogant as before, as if she was watching a play with great interest, and sneered coldly, "If Master Ben said he wanted to take her away, can you stop him?"

——Sure enough, Chikage Kazama came here this time to take Chizuru away!

Hijikata didn't show any angry expression, instead, his frown frown was relaxed, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved into a faint smile, vaguely: "If you want to take away the Shinsengumi, it depends on whether you have this ability--"

"Oh——" The strange and beautiful color is like blood, with the enchanting color of manjusawa, full of indifference and contempt, and as beautiful as poppies, suffocating and treacherous.

At the same time, when Hijikata's faint smile became more profound, he pulled out the samurai sword at his waist, and smoothly drew a cold arc in mid-air, and the point of the knife condensed in the cold air steadily pointed at Chikage Kazama .

The cyan-blue sharpness is sharp and cold, and the reversed moonlight frost pierces the falling maple leaves. The thrilling beauty is the precursor of ruthless killing.

Chikage Kazama's strength should not be underestimated. Feeling the death-like gloomy atmosphere in front of them, Sakurai and Chizuru couldn't help worrying about Hijikata in their hearts.

Chikage Kazama has never drawn out his sword at this time, he is so sure of his strength, Hijikata is also one of the best masters...

There are no more words, it was obviously a tense time to prepare for the attack just now, and before the next second had time to react, I saw a purple wind flashing in front of my eyes, and Hijikata's figure had already moved to the Before Kazama, the long knife in his hand broke through the wind fiercely.

"Wow——" the wind blew, Qianjing Fengjian's figure moved away inadvertently, and Tufang's long knife severely cut a few falling blood-colored maple leaves.Without any hesitation, he stabbed at Kazama again.

He cut through the air a few times but never stabbed Kazama, but when he slashed with his backhand, seeing Chikage Kazama's contemptuous smile grew wider, and the samurai sword he pulled out from his hand at some point in the next second was viciously The earthwork's knife was chopped off.

It spun brilliantly in the air, and then plunged fiercely into the crimson soil, all in an instant.

The tiger's mouth suddenly lost its substance and felt empty, which made Tufang startled slightly because of such a powerful opponent.

It's not because of the swordsmanship, but because of the disparity in power between humans and ghosts, but just because of this defect, ghosts can easily deprive others of their lives.

Kazama Chikage jumped back and flew up, standing firmly among the branches and looking down at them who were stunned.

"Mr. Hijikata!!!" Seeing this, Chizuru quickly ran to Hijikata's side and held his arm, her worried tone full of strong anxiety.

The wind blew up Hijikata's ink-colored hair, and his long bangs covered Hijikata's face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly at this time.

"Do you want to become a samurai just by looking like this? The people of the Shinsengumi are so self-indulgent." With a mocking tone, he retracted the sword nonchalantly.

Hijikata's shoulders trembled slightly, not because of the so-called fear, nor because of the sadness of being underestimated. They have always been used to the efforts of not being valued, and they just walked their own way and worked hard silently.

——But it is absolutely unbearable for Chikage Kazama and the others to humiliate themselves repeatedly, and feel angry about it.

"Earth—"

"-Did you win, did you win? It's fun, isn't it? Is this very interesting?" The more arrogant words were suddenly interrupted by Sakurai's deep voice, with a clear voice and a slight cry, but the presence Everyone can tell that she is not crying, but a kind of grief and anger that is suppressed to the utmost.

"This is the pride of your ghost clan. You never know the efforts of others, use all your natural strength to suppress the other party, and then openly insult and despise others. Is the result of their efforts?" At that moment, what she thought in her heart It is not fear and fear, but a sense of grief and unwillingness to be ridiculed instead of being recognized after working hard for a long time.

Obviously everyone has been working so hard, they never thought of asking everyone to recognize them, they just kept working hard to implement their samurai way, they just wanted to use their own efforts to achieve their own sacrifice for the general Sprinkling blood and advocating the so-called "sincerity" of General Ieyasu Tokugawa.

What is overreaching?Is there anything wrong with doing this?Why should you attack all this with the so-called pride of your ghost clan...

"If you are relying on your natural strength to deny others, then with all due respect, you are not as good as everyone in the Shinsengumi!" He raised his head to meet Chikage Kazama's slightly angry eyes, and said very angrily and fearlessly. .

In an instant, Hijikata and Chizuru quickly raised their heads and looked at Sakurai who was trembling slightly. The slender figure stood straight between them, looking extremely thin and lonely.

"—Is this idiot looking for death?!" Seeing that the anger in Chikage Kazama's blood-red eyes became increasingly condensed with a dangerous intent to kill, Hijikata was a little shocked by Sakurai's previous words, but I also feel upset about the current situation.

——If this little girl dies here, that guy in the head office will definitely take revenge on Chikage Kazama with a knife and even lose his wit!

"Mr. Hijikata..." Chizuru supported Hijikata's arm, murmured as he looked at them in a daze.

Although I can't understand why Kazama Chikage wants to take her away again and again, but I can't hurt everyone, and I know their strength very well. If that's the case——

"Mr. Kazama!" Chizuru suddenly let go of Hijikata's hand, rushed forward and spread her arms to block Sakurai. Said, "Please don't hurt them any more! If that's the case, I'm willing to go with you!"

"——The Shinsengumi doesn't need a woman to worry about this kind of thing!" Hijikata Toshihide's eyebrows became more and more knotted, and he suddenly pulled out the tachi that was stuck in the soil, and rushed forward in two or three steps to set up the basics of the tachi He raised his momentum and protected Sakurai and Qianzuru behind him.

In any case, these two brats are not ordinary troubles, but they can't be left alone, otherwise the people in the Shinsengumi will be a bunch of useless talents and talk about the way of the samurai.

The surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant, and everything around was dull and quiet. Under the backlight, Hijikata's face was even more beautiful in black and white. There was no defeat, but a heroic posture that became more and more courageous.

Hijikata has always been a person who goes forward bravely and never gives up...

"Hehe, that's all. I said I didn't come here to fight today—Hikata, and we'll have a showdown in the future." Chikage Kazama patted the corner of her clothes in disgust, the anger in her blood-red eyes seemed to be The fleeting general has completely disappeared at this time, and instead squinted his eyes with a faint sense of evil charm, and raised his chin slightly with a proud look, pointing to Sakurai who has been standing at the end, "My young master this time The purpose of coming is this woman—”

What do you mean, isn't Chikage Kazama's purpose for coming here because of Chizuru?why……

"Xiaoxu..." Hijikata and Qianzuru couldn't help but look surprised when they heard that, especially Qianhe was full of shock.Sakurai raised his head quickly, feeling incredible in his heart, but more inexplicable.

And what Hijikata was thinking in his heart at this time was not pure surprise like Chizuru...

"I……"

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Chikage Kazama cast a sideways glance at Sakurai casually, and said lightly while caressing the samurai sword at her waist intentionally or unintentionally with her calloused right hand, "You should really want to Do you know where the owner of the bracelet on your left hand is."

——The owner of the bracelet... is... Xiaoxue!Does Chikage Kazama know where Xiaoxue is going? !

Obviously I don't have any memories about Kazama Chikage in my mind, but from what I can see so far, Kazama claimed to be the "master" several times, and the "contract" he said on the New Year's Eve when I first met two years ago She didn't take it seriously and didn't care about these issues... and the matter of Koyuki... But now it seems that it is not simple... Is Chikage Kazama and the eldest daughter of the Sakurai family really acquainted?But at that time, A Yin said that this body was her own, and it was impossible for her to know Chikage Kazama in modern times...

If I want to get Xiaoxue back, I will have a connection with Kazama Chikage no matter what. In the Shinsengumi, I am destined to abandon one of the two choices that everyone trusts in me... Although I and Xiaoxue have not had any relationship since I woke up. What is getting along too much, but subconsciously just can't let her go.

That kind of worry and not being able to let go seems to be inherently irresistible. The more I think about what might happen to Xiaoxue, the more restless I feel in my heart. It is more about the responsibility that cannot be given up...

Chikage Kazama has always been the nemesis of the Shinsengumi. If I just follow him for Koyuki without explaining, everyone will definitely think that I have always belonged to the Kazama faction, and Mr. Hijikata has always treated him to himself. Doubtful.If that's the case, the relationship between myself and the Shinsengumi will never turn back, and the general manager will treat me as hostile to me as an enemy for the rest of my life...

——Even though I don't want to see your cold and heartless eyes, what I am most worried about is that I will never have the chance to treat you again. In the final analysis, I still hope that you can live well... that is just my wish Forget it, I just want to do something for you, to realize what I call an ideal...

——Can I just give up on Xiaoxue?After that, I will be helpless, and Xiaoxue is also my only relative in this world...Really, I can't let her go...Although the desire to choose her is not as strong as saving you, but no matter how you say it, she is also My sister, even if everyone leaves me, at least she will still be by my side...

——When would I be so afraid of being alone and entangled, if I really had to choose one of them, I could only make a decisive choice, and there would never be room for reversal.

——Although it’s really hard to let go, I shouldn’t be here in the first place, and I shouldn’t have anything to do with the Shinsengumi. My presence will only disturb their real lives... If I can leave, it’s considered For the happiness of the chief executive, I can think of a way to get Chizuru out of Kazama's control... Let's think of it as the price I have to pay for realizing my wish...

——Hehe, just right, didn't you say you want to leave?It's just that Kazama's intervention has brought the time forward, so what does it matter more or less...

——So Chizuru, the chief is begging you... You must treat me well, don't let my efforts go to waste...

"Can you give me a day?" Sakurai nodded, and the low voice came out in the night wind without sadness or joy, while the unbelievable surprised expression on Chizuru's face became more intense, and Hijikata's vague expression became more and more incomprehensible .

Kazama Chikage slightly hooked her lips, and in just a moment of turning around, fallen leaves danced all over the sky, and that tall golden figure had gone with the wind and disappeared without a trace.

It's as if it never happened.

She also knew that she could never go back to the past.So now, shouldn't it be even more important to plan the future route and just go on like this?

"——You shouldn't have an explanation." Tu Fang's cold questioning voice came, carrying the oppressive and breathless cold like the ten thousand year old black ice.A layer of gray-black haze gradually shrouded the deep purple eyes, which could not dispel the dull gloom, "I should have said that if you dare to do something that is not good for the Shinsengumi, your end will be death—— "

It seemed as if he would draw his sword at any moment, with a faint hostility and slight anger.

But from the beginning to the end, she only had this faint sentence: "Mr. Hijikata, I apply to leave the team."?
