During the fierce battle, Liu Quan's heart trembled when he suddenly heard Hirasuke's clear voice like that of a teenager, making such a cry like a trapped animal.

She gritted her teeth, and the hand that swung the sword became more swift and merciless.The blade of the sword cut through flesh and blood, and with a small chirping sound, it pierced the opponent's beating heart.Then, before her opponent's lifeless body fell down, she pulled out her sword vigorously, turned around again, and slashed towards the next opponent like this.

Suddenly, a voice sounded at the door of the room.

"Ah, there are so many guests here. It seems that there are quite a lot of people who move faster than me here in Sendai."

Liu Quan suddenly lifted his spirits.

"...Mr. Chief!!"

She chopped down another Rakshasa that happened to be between her and the direction of the door.After the man's body fell heavily, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw a tall young man wearing a black suit and a vest with yellow and red trim, standing leisurely at the door with his arms folded.

It was Okita Souji who had just parted from them on the dark mountain road leading to Sendai not long ago.

He still had that familiar nonchalant smile on his lips, and it was not at all evident from his face that his Rakshasa body was also suffering from the influence of daylight and sunlight; noticing Liu Quan's gaze, he smiled Slowly, he pulled out his sword from his waist.

"I really hate guests because I don't know how to look at my master's face. It seems that I have to chop them all."

...With the addition of Okita, the situation of the battle immediately changed greatly.

Although he is also a Rakshasa, he never seems to show his pain to the outside, even in daytime battles, he always seems to be so easy to do, his swordsmanship is still superb, and he calmly cuts down the obviously improved Rakshasa one by one. Poured, mercilessly pierced their hearts.

The battle was over quickly.The room was filled with blood.

Liu Quan looked at the twenty corpses lying on the ground in trouble, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

"... I really don't know how these bastards squeezed into this room?! Now how do I deal with so many corpses?! If they are all thrown on the street, they can feed the wild dogs in the whole city." Okay?!"

Okita seemed a little surprised by what she was complaining about, raised his eyebrows slightly, and laughed unceremoniously.

"Very good." He managed to overcome his own wave of laughter, lowered his eyebrows, and stared at Liu Quan, who was still on his hips, worrying at the corpse of Raksha on the ground.

"Seeing that you are still so energetic, I am relieved—now, I probably have a helper."

Hearing these words, Liu Quan suddenly recalled the shocking news that Hirasuke brought her earlier.She immediately put aside the question about the corpses, and immediately raised her head to look at Okita.

"By the way, Souji-kun!...I heard about Qianzuru being taken away, and I thought...I thought you..."

Contrary to her surprised and worried expression, Okita was extremely calm.His tall body stood at the door, blocking more than half of the light from outside entering the room.He stood against the light, his figure was like a cold statue.

"Ah, that... It's a good thing you guys made it to Sendai in time. Otherwise I think I'd have to run into Tsunamichi's lair alone." He said in a calm tone.

"In the end...what happened?!" Liu Quan asked in shock.

Okita lowered his gaze.

"We found out the whereabouts of Tsunami Yukimura by chance. Chizuru very much hoped to come to Sendai to find her father... After we settled down in Sendai, for the sake of my health, Chizuru insisted that I stay in the inn Take a rest and go shopping by yourself... I think we have just arrived here, even if some bad guys chase us, they will not know our whereabouts immediately. It should be safe in the first day or two, so let she went..."

Liu Quan gasped lightly.

"...I was too careless." Okita continued to speak calmly.

"No...that...it's not your fault..." Liu Quan instinctively heard a chill in his tone, and stammered trying to persuade him.

"Oh~? Then whose fault do you think this is?" Okita raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Listen... now is not the time to pursue this...!" Liu Quan was startled, and immediately changed the subject. "The important thing is that we have to discuss it, and go to rescue Qianhe tonight..."

"Oh? There's no need to discuss this." Okita said with a smile, "I have a good idea——"

He dragged his voice, and then said the answer Liu Quan expected.

"Just cut them all off."

……

At night, when Hijikata, Okita, Hirasuke, and Liu Quan sneaked into Sendai City where Tsunami Yukimura's Rakshasa team was hiding, they heard a familiar and gentle voice just outside the hall.

"...In Sendai, I got in touch with Tsunadou-kun secretly, and formed a cooperative relationship in order to study Rakshasa."

...It's Shannan! !

It turned out to be Shannan!

He actually admitted that he had contacts with Yukimura Tsunamichi and the Rakshasa team of the new government army!

For a moment Liu Quan felt thunderous, and he dared not look at the expressions of other people, especially Tu Fang.

Another woman's voice came from the hall—it belonged to Qianzuru, she seemed to be safe and sound, which might be the only good thing about this terrible night—asked them the questions in their hearts.

"Cooperate with the new government army?"

Shannan dragged out his voice gently, with a calm smile in his tone.

"Who knows... if you think so, maybe it is."

This sentence seemed to split Liu Quan's consciousness for an instant.

[For the Shinsengumi, I am no longer important. 】

On the night before leaving for Sendai, what Shannan said rang in her mind again.

[For the shogunate, the Shinsengumi has become an abandoned child.And for the Shinsengumi, Rakshasa has become an outcast...]

yes……?

Is it because you realize this that you want to abandon those who abandon you first?

But... No one in the Shinsengumi is willing to give up Mr. Shannan...!Mr. Hijikata, Souji-kun, Ichi-kun, Hirasuke-kun...these people who are still in the Shinsengumi, including herself...have the same deep respect and trust for Shannan, even though Shannan has gradually been turned into a poisonous water Corroded and became crazy, and no one wants to abandon him first!

And, Mr. Shannan, have you forgotten what you said that night? !

【I want to use my life to clear the way for the Shinsengumi to move forward.This is what I plan to go to Sendai for. 】

If you made up your mind early on to abandon us, the Shinsengumi... why would you say that? !If you changed your mind because of the sinister reality of the Sendai Clan—no, it doesn't make sense.Because Mr. Shannan is not a person who will abandon the justice and beliefs he has always believed in because of a small problem...!

Suddenly, Shannan mentioned a familiar name, calling Liuquan's attention back.

"...Because Hijikata-kun is very smart, he may be aware of our scheme."

... Mr. Hijikata? !Why did Mr. Shannan mention Mr. Hijikata? !

Liu Quan heard that Tu Fang beside him seemed to let out a silent wry smile.

"Really... It's really disturbing to be praised by him at this time...!"

The earthworker complained almost silently in an airy voice.

But what Tsunamichi Yukimura said next made him complain involuntarily.

"Aren't you Shannan-kun who asked me to deliberately release news to attract my daughter to Sendai?"

Hijikata suddenly stretched out his hand and held down Okita who was about to jump out with his sword in time.

"Wait! Director! Let's see what Shannan-kun will say..." He lowered his voice and warned Okita.

Hirasuke also hurriedly grabbed Okita's arm from the other side.

When the three of them wrestled silently, Shannan in the hall sighed helplessly.

"I did ask you to release the news, but I didn't ask you to bring her."

"Why?! As a father, can't I take my daughter away from the enemy?! Besides, you asked me to follow Todo-kun to find the residence of the Shinsengumi...!" Tsunamichi Yukimura argued.

"Okay, okay," Shannan sighed with a wry smile, "I did say that, but I didn't ask you to send so many Rakshasa to destroy the people in the station."

"Didn't you say that the garrison must be empty during the day, because the main force of the Shinsengumi will go to the streets to patrol...!" Yukimura Tsunamichi seemed a little frustrated.

"Then, taking advantage of the emptiness of their residence, to clean up Fujido-kun and other people in the residence, isn't it a great opportunity to defeat each of them?"

Shannan paused for a moment.

"Well... come on, this is the end of the matter." He smiled helplessly, as if he didn't want to argue with Yukimura Tsunamichi about these things, and said like mud, "Instead of reflecting on the past, it is better to look forward to the future."

"There's no need to worry about the future." Yukimura Tsunamichi said in a confident tone, "The Rakshasa team who cleaned up Fujido-kun and the other idiots in the Shinsengumi station will soon return to Sendai City.  … Even Todo-kun wouldn't be alive, after all, surrounded by so many Rakshasa."

Hearing such an overconfident speech, Liu Quan couldn't help showing a wry smile for a moment.

"It's unfortunate, even an idiot like me is not so easy to deal with." Thinking of the fierce fight in the new residence during the day, she couldn't help muttering.

At this time, she heard Tu Fang beside her suddenly laughed softly.

"Very well. Go in and say that out loud in front of them again."
