The boy in front of him is indeed Yamato Shou'an, to be precise, he is Fu Sangshen who was awakened from Yamato Shou'an's saber.

Although it is said that Takuma's father also has a sword with the same name as the boy, but in fact the two are not the same sword.

In the era that An Ding experienced, there was no Shinsengumi, no Okita Sougo, and no Okita Takuma.

His former owner was Souji Okita, the captain of the first team of the Shinsengumi. He died of tuberculosis in the fifth year after the formation of the Shinsengumi at the age of 24.

Hundreds of years later, after being awakened by the government of the time, as a sword, he came to the world in the form of Fusangshen. The time retrograde army who traveled through time and space again and again to destroy history fought fiercely.

After being summoned to Honmaru, the God Judge, as Fusangshen, An Ding couldn't forget her former master.He regards him as the object of his longing, the goal of his hard work, step by step to improve his swordsmanship, practice his Bushido, and wants to become an excellent and powerful person like Okita Souji.

But one time, when he and his companions traveled through history to pursue the time-traveling army, they came to the era when the Shinsengumi was active and came to Ikeda House.

Here, Kiyomitsu Kawasaki, who is also Okita Souji's sword, was broken, and Okita Souji, who was the sharp blade of Shinsengumi, fainted from hemoptysis in this incident, and the signs of terminal illness also appeared for the first time.

Anding met a very powerful enemy here, and was almost killed by that strong enemy at that time, but fortunately there was reinforcements from Qingguang, and the enemy was suddenly distracted for some reason, so they took the opportunity to defeat the strong enemy together , returned to Honmaru smoothly.

After going through this crisis, I deeply felt that my own insignificance An Ding had seriously thought about it, and made a request for spiritual practice to the examiner.The god judge naturally agreed, so An Ding took his luggage and time-space converter and started the journey of practice.

And the place he chose to practice is next to his former master, Souji Okita.

……

"Huh? And then?" Tuozhen took a bite of the grilled fish, and curiously asked An Ding, who was sitting by the fire with his hands folded on his knees.

"And... I stayed."

Tuozhen blinked his eyes, "Stay here means you didn't return to the original pill of that god-inspector?"

An Ding nodded.

"I feel that since I want to practice, I must deal with the matter of Okita-kun properly. So I joined the Shinsengumi as an ordinary samurai, and at that time, Okita-kun had not yet suffered from tuberculosis..." Anding Chui Seeing the burning fire, he talked about the past calmly.Firelight danced in his dark blue pupils, shining with a strange brilliance. "Actually, I just wanted to stay with him for a while, but in the end..."

Soon, as a member of the Shinsengumi, he also ushered in the famous Ikedaya incident in history.

The flashes of swords and swords that night seemed to be still in front of my eyes, and even the clanging of cold weapons, the noise of the crowd, and all kinds of sounds seemed to be still echoing in my ears.Then……

"I saw my past self..."

Tuozhen was stunned for a moment, put down the grilled fish in his hand, and asked, "My past self?"

"Yes, I am Honmaru Fusangshin myself who came after the retrograde army."

"Didn't you say that there are many Honmaru in your place, and there will be multiple Fusangshin? It may be another Honmaru..."

"No, I know, that's me." An Ding said with absolute certainty.

"So sure?" Tuozhen took another bite of the grilled fish.

An Ding's eyes were a bit complicated, "Because of the nail polish on his hands."

"……what?"

"The first time I went to Ikeda House in the posture of Fusangshen, the judge and Kiyomitsu made a prank and painted nail polish on my little nails. I didn't notice it until I finished the mission and returned to Honmaru , It was only discovered during the injury check in the barrier at the entrance of Honmaru."

"..." Tuozhen ate melons with a calm face, ah bah, eat fish.

An Ding saw not only the nail polish on the little finger of the other self, but also saw her own appearance in the eyes of the other self.

——Surrounded by an ominous black air, the original appearance of Fu Sangshen could not be seen at all, just like the enemy's marching army that had been beheaded and killed.

He was overly frightened for a moment, and when the other self rushed up, he subconsciously knocked him away with a blow.Then Qingguang helped another self, and the two Fusangshen rushed towards An Ding together.

An Ding doesn't want to believe it, he doesn't believe that he will become a retrograde army, he just wants to stay with Okita-kun for a while... Although, although the time he stayed seems a bit long...

"I just want to accompany him." An Ding said, "Seeing his high-spirited look, 'Let's take another look', I thought to myself, and then I stayed for too long unconsciously..."

"Okita Junsheng was born in an era when the samurai were declining but shining. Guns and cannons blasted the kingdom of the samurai. In front of these things, the cold iron has no advantage at all, and there are many people who used to hold swords. The samurai dropped the handle of his sword and raised his gun instead."

The corner of Anding's mouth raised slightly, "Sometimes I also wonder, in the future where guns are rampant, will Okita-kun give up and continue to hold me and Kiyomitsu helplessly one day?"

"However, someone who loves knives like him may put us in the sword pavilion, and make a hand every day. Occasionally, he will go to the dojo of the new selection team to perform hand cooperation with the team members..."

"However, this is impossible..." An Ding buried her face between her knees, "Qing Guang broke the iron in the Ikeda house, even if it is recast, it is impossible to withstand the same intensity of the blow. It is impossible for Nariwakizasa to be used by Okita-kun again..."

"Okita-kun's sword technique wears down the tip of the knife a lot. Originally, I, like Kiyomitsu, broke the scorpion in Okita-kun's hands and became useless. As a sword of the last samurai , perhaps this is my best home.”

"But...but..."

A cry suddenly overflowed from An Ding's tightly clasped arms.

"But he couldn't even lift a knife in the end..."

"'Grandmother, I can't cut it anymore...' He said so. I was placed next to the tatami by him, watching him coughing up blood and weakening day by day...so I came to him again After being around, seeing Okita-kun in such high spirits, I really can't convince myself to go back to Honmaru, to my current master..."

Tuozhen silently put the tattered cloak on An Ding's head, wrapping him tightly.

"Cry, I don't want to watch."

The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly collapsed.

……

With such a mood, An Ding strengthened her determination after hearing the sound of Okita coughing up blood on the second floor of Ikeda House.

At least... At least this time, he doesn't want to stay by Okita-kun's side as a cold and immobile sword!If Okita-kun can't cut it anymore, let the knife "An Ding" help him cut through the darkness surrounded by flowers and water! ②

So when An Ding faced another self and Qingguang rushing towards him, he drew his sword without hesitation.He didn't actually want to kill them, he just wanted to stop anyone who tried to get to Okita-kun.

Whether it's the retrograde army, the barbarians, or the other self and Qingguang, they are all his targets of interception.

An Ding, who has been getting better and better during the practice journey, has no pressure on the two. However, when he saw the scar exposed under Qingguang's scarf, he seemed to hear the "hand" in the noise. The sound of the "California Qingguang" knife tip falling to the ground...

Then his chest was penetrated by two fusangshen who caught the opening.

……

"When I fell down, I accidentally flipped the time-space converter I brought from Honmaru, and then I came to your world." An Ding lifted his cloak, stuck his head out for a breath, "I was in a daze I suddenly heard someone calling 'Captain Okita', so I rushed over there subconsciously... After I woke up, I found that my spirit body had already lodged on this Kiyoko that had been ground into Wakizashi."

"My body has been shattered," An Ding said this fact very calmly, looking at Da Dao who was holding the scabbard tightly by himself all the time, with a light tone, "'Yamato Shou Anding' the sword has been drawn I can't come out."

"The current me is just the spirit of Wakizashi Kiyomitsu, and Okita-kun from another world gave Kiyomitsu to you, so I, as a 'spirit', will naturally follow you."

Originally, when the main body was shattered, the meaning of his existence as Fusangshen had disappeared, but he unexpectedly came to the world where Takuma was, and became another clear spirit.The Okita-kun in this world is alive and well, and he feels very relieved to have his own child.Although it is not his Okita-kun, there will always be some empathy.

Wakizashi is not the right sword for Okita, but it is just right for his young son.Kiyomitsu doesn't have to be put on the shelf anymore, he can become the spirit of Kiyomitsu to accompany this Okita-kun's child to grow up, but...

"Your father gave you this knife." An Ding held Kiyomitsu Wakizawa, who had just been cut out of Takuma's stomach not long ago, and said with some self-deprecation, "But you never know how to use him."

A knife that cannot be used by others, a knife that does not want to be used by others...

"What's the difference between this and a useless sword?" Just like An Ding, a Da Dao that can no longer be held by Okita-kun, and An Ding Fusangshen whose body has been broken, it has no meaning as a sword at all.

Wakizawa Kiyomitsu has always been brought by Takuma's side. As a spirit residing in the sword, An Ding can of course "see" everything outside.

He saw Tuozhen's death every time, and this guy never took it to heart, didn't think about it at all, and even made it worse.

Whenever this happens, he will complain about his Okita Jun.People who don't cherish life are reborn again and again, but the swordsman who is unwilling to let the flower of life wither can only despair day by day on the sickbed.

Moreover, in the process, he repeatedly tasted the feeling of watching his master go to death and he was powerless to stop it.

"How can a person like you who doesn't cherish life feel the pain of life passing by?"

An Ding smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's because I can't feel it." Tuozhen tilted his head to look at An Ding, pointed his index finger at his chest, nodded, and repeated softly: "I can't feel it."

When meeting Tuozhen's eyes, An Ding seemed to see confusion in the eyes of this big boy who was unresponsive to everything.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that he had when he heard Okita-kun say "Grandma, I can't chop anymore".

Especially sad.

He used the Altana crystal to save Takuma who was only five years old, but he also used the Altana crystal to destroy the five-year-old Takuma.

He is doomed to only watch his masters walk towards darkness step by step along the sea of ​​flowers and rivers of water, and as a piece of cold iron, he is powerless to stop it.
