Now that the most difficult words have been said, Izumi Mori Kanesada no longer cares about face.

"I said! So far I have seen too many masters disappear in front of me for no reason... I don't want you to become like that!"

Izumi Mori Kanesada felt that he should put this kind of words in a more tactful manner, but when he got to the point of speaking, he found himself yelling and shouting at his judge in disrespect.

...Ah, probably because what she did to him last time in this place—drawing a sword at him—has already worn away his last little good impression and tolerance of her. ? !

"You, don't be brave!" He said angrily.The scene that happened a long time ago in the field leading to the direction of Benben's closed gate unstoppably resurfaced in his mind, making his complexion even worse.

"I, I don't want to be here in Hakodate... first to watch Hijikata-san die, and then to watch you—"

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by her chuckle.

Due to the height difference, she had to raise her head slightly to see his face clearly.At this moment, because he was also leaning forward slightly, his long black hair hung down from his shoulders, and the tips of his hair fluttered slightly by the breeze at noon in summer.

"Jian-sang, you must have said similar things to me before." She softened her voice and stared at him deeply.

Izumi Mori Kanesada froze, and stopped his words angrily.Just as he was about to turn his face away, he heard the female interrogator in front of him calmly speak a more terrible line.

"...However, there is no Hijikata-san here now. There is only me here."

The left hand of the Goddess finally left the handle of the knife at her waist, and landed lightly on the back of Izumi Mori Kanesada's hand that was holding her wrist.The temperature of her palm made him tremble slightly.

"...Are you going to stop me this time, Jian-sang?" She asked again.

"For the future that Hijikata-san is working hard to protect... In order to protect that future, I must go."

"The last time you stopped me, wasn't it also for this reason."

Izumi Mori Kanesada: "..."

He felt he couldn't speak for her.No matter what time it was, she could easily silence him.However, even though Zhiming told him that what she said this time was all reasonable, he found that his five fingers were still stubbornly clasping her wrist and refused to let go, just like a child trying in vain to save something——

Then he felt her chuckle resignedly.The next moment, she tiptoed slightly, her left hand left the back of his hand, and put it on the side of his neck; her forehead touched his forehead lightly.

Izumi Mori Kanesada:? !

His eyes widened in disbelief in an instant, his whole body froze, and he stayed there, unable to move like a piece of wood.

But then she didn't do anything, just lightly touched his forehead with her own, and then left almost immediately, taking a step back and moving away a little——

Then, without warning, her long hair turned snow white instantly in front of him!

"Look at my appearance, Jiansang." There was a hint of hoarseness in her voice.

Izumi Shou Kanesada:! ! !

He almost immediately forgot the embarrassment(?) and shame he felt just now, and the whole person was shocked by the scene before his eyes.

"You... Luo, Luo Sha?!" He heard his own voice stutter because of excessive shock.

Then, he saw the female god judge with white hair and red pupils showing a huge smile with eight teeth at him.

"Surprised?"

"...What a surprise!!" After a moment of stupefaction, Izumi Mori Kanesada roared until his veins burst out.

"Is the Rakshasa physique a panacea? Do you think I don't know that the principle of the Rakshasa physique is to consume the life in the future to greatly improve the current ability! How did you become like this ghost?! Mr. Hijikata? Haven't they stopped you from doing such a dangerous thing!..."

As a result, the next sentence she said with a smile made him feel as if his whole body froze for a moment.

"Hey~ Mr. Hijikata made me like this."

Izumi Mori Kanesada: "What...?!"

For a moment, he felt as if someone poured a bucket of ice water over his head, freezing him from head to toe.

His five fingers seemed to have been frozen into solid ice, so stiff that the joints could not be bent, thus slowly losing the strength to hold her wrist.Her right hand came out from between his fingers, and she immediately took two steps back, and then stood there—standing in the midday sun, as if she was not afraid of the glare of the daylight at all, watching him calmly. He was so shocked that he could hardly believe it.

"...to save my life."

At this time, she Shi Shiran threw out the second half of the sentence.

But that didn't make Izumi Mori Kanesada feel much better.

He took a deep breath and was about to speak, but the female judge didn't give him room to speak.

"...So, I won't die here." Her voice was condensed, like the water dripping quietly from the bamboo tube into the pool in the summer night courtyard.

"I will not give up that Mr. Hijikata would rather bear the notoriety of 'forcing his subordinates to become evil spirits', but also save this life for me."

Under the noon sun, the young woman shook her head slightly, her long hair and bright pupils all turned black again.

"Can I entrust this place to you before I come back, Kane-san?"

Izumi Mori Kanesada stared into her bright black eyes, and finally, he let out a heavy snort in frustration.

"Ah! Then go quickly!" He said in a rough voice, as if he was hiding something, and turned his head away suddenly.

The female examiner stared at his profile.

...Indeed, as he said in his self-introduction, he has a handsome face, right?

She smiled slightly, no longer hesitated, held down the handle of the knife at her waist, turned around and rushed down the mountain.

Behind him, a familiar roar suddenly came, the tone was deliberately rude, as if he wanted to use that tone to cover up the worry and concern behind him.

"Hey! Don't die! Make sure you come back alive! Did you hear that!!"

The pace of the female judge's galloping slowed down.But she didn't finally stop, but blinked her eyes, silently showing a nostalgic and sentimental smile.

This sentence...seems familiar?Are you right, Mr. Hijikata?

After saying this sentence silently in her heart, she raised her right hand and waved it to the back; her footsteps no longer hesitated, and she flew down.

……

... Fortunately, after waiting all morning, she already felt that the situation was not good, so she exchanged the valuable skills with the system bacteria in advance!

After the embarrassment in Tathagata Hall last time, she was very familiar with it this time—even when bargaining with system bacteria.

At the beginning, I stated that I don’t need permanent skills, and only need a few hours of use; when the system bacteria sneered, “You are quite confident in your spiritual power level”, you simply answered “No, that’s it. Sleeping time? This kind of thing that can be dealt with with a kiss, I can still do it with difficulty" - the system bacteria choked so hard that it didn't speak for more than ten seconds.

So, after some internal communication, she now regained the right to use [Raksha Physique] and [Advanced Disguise Technique] for a few hours.

While running down the mountain road, Liu Quan, who had already used the [Advanced Disguise Technique] to change his appearance into an unknown young soldier from the Shinsengumi, joking as effortlessly as possible while running panting System bacteria:

[By the way, is there really no service for exchanging skills for ten-time cards or monthly subscription cards? I think I need them very much. ]

The system bacteria shouted angrily: [You should think about how you want to complete the waiting task! 】

Liu Quan's footsteps paused.

[... Could it be that the Time Traveling Army really hid Mr. Hijikata... This is tricky. ] There was a genuine sadness on her face, she lowered her head, put her right hand into her pocket, and touched the earth bell with her fingertips.

[The government of time can make this kind of early warning time retrograde army thing, can't they make another "important historical figure detector"...]

The system bacteria seemed to be very displeased by her complaints.It snorted coldly.

[How advanced things can those guys with rigid heads come up with, you really overestimated them. 】It said in a somewhat contemptuous tone,【Otherwise, why send you over? 】

Liu Quan smiled.

[Well... that's true. ] She actually agreed.

[Otherwise, it would not be because of the shortage of god judges, and historical figures will be brought back to be god judges. ]

After Liu Quan's nonsense rant, System Bacteria was surprisingly silent for a while.

This kind of silence is a bit strange, so strange that Liu Quan had to add another sentence with a little concern: [...Didn't you know about this a long time ago? ]

【...Yeah, I knew it a long time ago. 】The system bacteria actually replied to her in a thoughtful(?) tone.

Liu Quan: [So...? ]

The bad attitude of the system bacteria returned, and the atmosphere of silent thinking just now seemed like a dream.

[So, haven't you already conceived the script?If you continue with that, you should be fine. What are you waiting for? 】

Liu Quan grinned.

[Ah~ I'm relieved to hear that you still have such a bad personality~]

System bacteria: […]

With a smile on his face, Liu Quan took another step towards Goryokaku.

[Okay, I’m going to conquer the world and show you—]

The system bacteria snorted coldly.

【Aren't you rushing to commit suicide again?Be chic when you fall off the horse, don't say I didn't warn you! 】

Liu Quan smiled and sighed.However, when she started to walk again, the smile on her face disappeared for a moment.

Is the system bacteria implying something?Said "Didn't you already write the script? Then act according to that process"—clearly saying that the situation is as serious as she imagined. Did this time and space take away the deputy chief? !

But... where will they take the deputy chief?Is the deputy chief still safe? ——Oh, from the standpoint of the time-traveling army, they will ensure that the deputy chief who is destined to die today in history is safe and sound, right? !

So now she has much easier things to worry about.

Although she does not know the whereabouts of the deputy chief for the time being, knowing that he will be safe, she seems to have more courage in her heart to face the unknown road ahead—from this point of view, she and the person who appeared here last time I am no different, right?They all have a dark heart, don't they?

Thinking of this, Liu Quan had a wry smile on his face.

However, now is not the time to be full of emotion, nor is it the time to mourn the spring and autumn because of the memory of the past.

The time-traveling army took away the deputy chief in order to create an irrefillable black hole in the real history, and then change the history.This is really... a genius idea? !

Liu Quan stopped in front of Goryokaku.She carefully chose to hide in the shadow behind a bush where no one could easily detect, and looked at the chaotic Goryokaku Gate from there.

However, those time-traveling soldiers may not know that as an excellent player—as a cannon fodder professional player who has gone through several worlds and decades, and still has to keep moving forward, what she is best at is—— Fill the huge black hole that appeared in the plot.

Liu Quan slightly hooked the corners of his lips, stood up from behind the bushes, and even took the time to tidy up the armband with the word "cheng" on his left sleeve.

"This is a terrible situation, Hijikata-san..."

With an incomprehensible smile on the corner of her lips, she said softly as if she was talking to herself.

"This kind of thing...let the professionals do it."

"I will definitely fulfill my mission well. I will take good care of this future that you want to achieve even at the expense of yourself... Do you trust me, Mr. Hijikata?"

The smile on her lips disappeared.She stepped forward, walked out of the bushes without hesitation, passed through the soldiers of the shogunate who were rushing back and forth outside Goryokaku, and rushed straight to the gate of Goryokaku.

Although the battle has almost reached its final juncture, outside the gate of Goryokaku there are still soldiers guarding both sides of the gate.Seeing her rushing over in such a hurry, the two gatekeepers immediately stopped her.

"Stop! Who?!"

Liu Quan, who had been dressed up again as a boy, slammed on the brakes, and took advantage of the opportunity to show his left arm wearing the armband with the word "cheng" in front of the two people, with an urgent tone.

"I broke out from Bentendaiba to ask for help! A part of the new government army has surrounded Bentendaiba. We are outnumbered and the situation is critical!..."

Her [Advanced Disguise Technique] has been brought to the extreme, and even such details have been considered in advance when changing clothes. Now her face is covered with dust, there is a smear of blood on her cheekbones, and her coat is almost turned into a cloak because of the dust. gray.There were a few small cuts on the western clothes she was wearing, and it looked like she had just gone through a hard battle—this appearance was enough to prove her origin, and the two guards exchanged a look.

...However, she did not let go of her consent to enter Goryokaku.

One of the two guarding soldiers turned his head and shouted towards the gate.

"Hey! There is a member of the Shinsengumi here, who broke out from Bentendaiba to ask for help!... What should we do?!"

Perhaps because he was worried that the other party could not hear clearly, he shouted the first few sentences very loudly.However, when it came to the last question, his tone suddenly dropped an octave—it sounded a little nervous and guilty.

This subconscious natural reaction further confirmed Liu Quan's guess.Her face suddenly sank.
