"Guangzhong!" Liu Quan blurted out, looking at him full of concern, "...are you okay?"

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong looked down at his body, then at his body knife still held by the female judge, and smiled wryly.

"Ah... I don't know why it suddenly became... Uh, that way, causing the person I was supposed to be guarding to escape... This kind of performance is not cool."

In fact, if Fu Sangshen suddenly turned into a body sword, there is only one possibility—that is, the examiner withdrew his spiritual power either actively or passively.However, Candlestick Qie Guangzhong thoughtfully did not mention this reason, but said such words as if he wanted to take responsibility on his own, which made Liu Quan feel even more uncomfortable.

"No...it's all my problem." She whispered, "It's because of my lack of spiritual power that caused such consequences..."

Candlestick Kiri Mitsuta heard the words, and there was a kind of gleam in the exposed left eye.His eyes slid over the huge burden carried on the back of the Goddess—and the handles of the knives that were lined up behind her shoulders, protruding from the burden—and then quickly raised his eyes to look at the Glancing at Sanri Yue Zongjin standing next to Liu Quan, his eyes deepened for a moment, and he quickly returned to his usual calm and ignorant (?) posture, looking at the female examiner in front of him.

"Well, anyway, I still have the opportunity to report what happened to you, which is already very good." He said in a gentle tone when Honmaru was mediating everything, and his left eye calmly fell on Liu Quan's face; He didn't intend to peek at her expression, but just stared at her politely.

"From my point of view... after the incident, Kanna-san first showed a look of astonishment, and then quickly realized that this was a good opportunity to escape; although her hands were firmly bound, she still managed to step on me with her feet The...uh, the sword cover, she pulled the blade out of the sheath little by little by rubbing on the ground, and then carefully broke the rope that bound her hands on the blade."

Although he was narrating the incident that made him a little embarrassed, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada's tone was very calm, and there was no wavering emotion in that magnetic voice; even because Saito who was on the side might hear the difference from the narration The inexplicable details of this era, and all the details that are likely to arouse Saito's suspicion are blurred.

Speaking of which, just now when Liu Quan used his spiritual power to re-evoke Fusangshen of Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, he also checked Saitoichi's situation in advance-at that time, he was sitting under the tree with his back against the trunk, because he was too seriously injured And fell into another round of semi-comatose state, and his mind was indeed not clear.Under this premise, Liu Quan felt relieved to summon Candlestick to cut Guangzhong.

Now that Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada showed a cautious look, Liu Quan turned his attention to Saitoichi who was sitting under the tree again.

It seemed that although his eyes were still closed, he moved, as if he was adjusting his uncomfortable sitting position.

So Liu Quan knew that he should not ask too many detailed questions, lest Saito would be suspicious all his life.

However, it’s okay not to ask at all, after all, what if Kanna Linyin didn’t go back—all the swords Fusangshen she brought out were all fallen because of her, and then they were wiped out here by the Fusangshen under Liu Quan’s command. She couldn't explain it to the Government of Time; it is also a possible choice not to go back when desperate, but to find a place to hide here - if so, Liu Quan must at least have a statement to report to the Government of Time .So she asked vaguely: "After that? Miss Kanna left alone?"

Candlestick cut Guangzhong nodded.

Liu Quan asked again: "Then which direction did she flee? Did you see clearly?"

Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada sighed, and replied vaguely: "...At that time, I really didn't have a chance to see clearly...so——"

Liu Quan let out a groan, nodded, and stopped asking any more questions, but smiled comfortingly at Qie Guangzhong, the candlestick.

"Forget it... Miss Kanna's whereabouts are not the highest goal we must focus on right now." She said.

"We must get...Yamaguchi-kun as soon as possible now," when she said the name, she glanced at Saitoichi who was leaning against the tree, then turned her eyes and looked into the distance. "Send it back to Aizu Castle."

Candlestick Kirimitada responded, as if he had no intention of questioning her order, and neatly took his own body knife from her hand, and inserted it back into his waist; then he bent down and said to Saito, " I'm sorry", she held his arm directly and helped him up a little bit forcibly.

Maybe it was because the movement when he got up touched some of his wounds, Saito's brows frowned suddenly, and a painful expression appeared on his face; however, he didn't make a sound, but after he almost stood up straight, Unsteadily, he bowed slightly towards the candlestick Qie Guangzhong in greeting.

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong was very straightforward, he bowed slightly, then straightened his back suddenly with a flash - before Liu Quan saw clearly what he was doing, she was shocked to find that Candlestick Qie Guangzhong Saito, who was seriously injured, was carried on his back, and he calmly faced her with a surprised face, and explained in a gentle tone: "In this way, we don't have to force the seriously injured him to walk fast, and our actions will be faster. ...Don't worry, it won't affect anything even if you carry someone behind your back; I will act handsomely."

Liu Quan: "Oh, oh——"

Sanri Yue Zongjin: "Ahaha, very good, very good."

He didn't seem to have any objection to Candlestick Qie Guangzhong taking over his task on his own initiative.But his eyes flashed immediately, and he stretched out a hand towards Liu Quan.

Liu Quan: "Uh... what, what...?"

She subconsciously took a step back.

However, compared with her face of facing a formidable enemy, Sanri Yue Zongjin looked very calm and calm.He even smiled at her and said calmly: "Let me carry the sword on your back? This way you can move faster. After all, we still need you to open the way for us, right?"

Liu Quan made a black line, and silently untied the bag wrapped with the sword on his back, and handed it to Mikazuki Zongjin.

"Although I don't like weak words such as 'sorry, I am too incompetent', but today's incident may indeed have some of my responsibility." She said in a low voice.

Hearing such words, Mikazuki Zongjin slightly raised his eyebrows as if a little curious.

"Oh~?! So are you going to... apologize? Or are you going to make amends to us?" He asked with interest.

He seems to always have a natural ability to make people's heads covered with black lines in a second.

At least Liu Quan now feels that there are not only black lines but also blue veins protruding from the corner of his forehead.

"Say... what are you talking about! It's neither an apology! It's not a compensation!" She angrily denied the two possibilities proposed by Mikazuki Zongjin, and just when she was about to say "This is a deep self-reflection!", He heard him smile again.

"...If that's the case, why are you still hesitating?"

Liu Quan: "...Huh?!"

Sanri Yuezong put the bundle in his hand on his back, glanced at her leisurely, and then walked down the mountain.

"You just keep going," he said.

"That's what you're supposed to do."

Liu Quan:! ! !

Ah, this grandpa who makes people wonder if he is a bit white and black... Why can he always say such things at the worst times.

But now is not the time to be moved.It was not the time to try to sort out the complex emotions that surged in my heart after hearing these words.

Liu Quan held down the handle of the knife that was already stained with blood and dust at his waist, and galloped across the rugged wilderness and fields.

Soldiers of the so-called "Changfu Serving the Country" who finally crossed Kanigawa pursued them.There were also times when those guys almost caught up with their group; the bullets fired from the muzzles of the enemy soldiers whized past them, and Liu Quan had to take Sanka Yue Zongjin and Candlestick to cut Guangzhong left the road, jumped into the field beside him, and ran in a zigzag, avoiding the danger of being shot as much as possible.

However, the enemies coming up seem endless.As the dawn gradually dyed the entire sky, and the darkness of night finally faded from the top of this world, in front of Liu Quan, apart from the large mottled fields and wilderness, densely swarming like ant colonies emerged from afar. Annoying - the new government army.

And, not only that.

Along with them came the renewed artillery fire.

The bullets whizzed, passing through her side, hitting the ground not far in front of or behind her, causing waves of dust and gravel to fly.

Finally, in the distance, at the end of the field of vision, the scarred city wall of Aizu City seemed to jump out suddenly, rushing into her eyes.

The mortal body, which was already very tired from long-distance running and non-stop fighting, was suddenly stimulated with a final burst of energy by this exciting discovery.Liu Quan yelled: "It's coming soon! Come on everyone——"

The ending didn't stop, but her voice suddenly disappeared as if it was severed by an invisible hand.

Almost at the same time, Mikazuki Zongjin, who was running two steps behind her, blurted out in an almost stern tone and a heavy and low voice: "...Yueba!!"
