The process of leaving Goryokaku was unexpectedly easier than when it came.

I don't know if it's because the defenders in Goryokaku have lost their morale. Seeing Liu Quan, who was walking out with a dagger in his hands and a cheng character armband on his left arm, no one seemed to take the initiative to ask. No one made it difficult for her to be treated as a suspicious person.

Perhaps the armband with the word "Cheng" played the role of proving her innocence and served as her final amulet.

Outside Goryokaku, the other five fusangshen gathered under a big tree.Seeing their god-inspectors striding straight out of Goryokaku, their faces all showed some surprised expressions for a moment—however, that expression disappeared after a flash. Almost all of their expressions changed to "Ah, that's really the case" or "It's not surprising what the God-inspector-sama does".

Among them, perhaps only Izumi Mori Kanesada's reaction was a little bigger.

"You...you really ran to see...Mr. Hijikata?!" He asked loudly at the female interrogator who walked in front of them, dumbfounded.

Anyway, the good boy Horikawa Kunihiro is not here, no one will remind him to ask more tactfully.

The female examiner pursed her lips and smiled.

"Yeah." She actually replied very frankly.

"I'm going to see Mr. Hijikata."

Izumi Shou Kanesada:! ! !

"You...!" He blurted out, "Even if you like Mr. Hijikata, you can't save him again, you know!!"

A shock:! ?

Long Zeng Mi Huche:? !

Hirano Toshiro:? !

Smiling Qingjiang: "...Oh hehehehe so that's what happened~"

The female interrogator froze for a moment, as if she didn't expect that Jiansang would expose her black history so suddenly.But she reacted quickly, smiled faintly, and actually lowered her head to glance at the Taidao she was still holding in her hand.

"...Well, now I feel that in order to get out of Goryokaku smoothly without being questioned or questioned, the decision to temporarily change the crescent moon back into the original sword is really wise." She actually sighed at first, and then raised her hand Looking straight at the furious Izumi Mori Kanesada calmly.

Looking carefully at that beautiful face, there are anger, puzzlement, tension and worry—ah, actually, Kanesan is worried that she will do exactly the same thing as before in order to save Mr. Hijikata's life from disappearing on this day , Something as rebellious as a dark fall, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Quan smiled again at Izumi Mori Kanesada.

"Don't worry, Kansang." She said clearly.

"I said goodbye to Mr. Hijikata just now." She continued calmly.

Izumi Mori Kanesada:? !

Seeing Jiansang's beautiful blue eyes widen, Liu Quan gave a wry smile, and then nodded vigorously at him as if affirming.

"He has his mission to accomplish. I have mine..."

Her gaze slowly moved away from Izumi Mori Kanesada's face and drifted to the distance behind him.

"Since you can't go together in the end, then cheer up and face the inevitable parting."

"I will not let down what I have learned from him, the kindness I have learned, the belief I have inherited..."

She took a deep breath.

"Different from the last parting, this time I have at least said goodbye."

In her eyes, some complex and indescribable emotions slowly settled down, and finally became invisible.

"...That's enough." She finally said softly.

Izumi Mori Kanesada: "..."

He seemed to understand something, and it seemed that more confusion had arisen from it.Yet even he knew that now was not a good time to get to the bottom of it.

It's different from the last time I faced her in Hakodate. At this moment, the female examiner will not fall in the dark again.He will no longer resolutely swing a knife at him in order to go against history and save Mr. Hijikata's life.

However, at the same time, the bright light burning in her eyes seemed to disappear at the moment when she swung the knife at him.

Instead, there is an unusual sense of calmness and strength.The cold but faintly oppressive aura even descended on their heads like a substance, making Izumi Mori Kansada, who has always been a little nervous, aware of the vaguely formed power formed purely by spirit and emotion.

At this moment, Izumi Mori Kanesada suddenly understood something.

She will never be the young girl who stood on the field in Hakodate and swung the sword at Mr. Hijikata in order to save his life from passing away on this day.

This feeling is a bit strange.It was as if at that moment he felt that he was a little closer to her, but in the blink of an eye, the aura released from her body seemed to pull her further away; A young girl who could do all the crazy things for Hijikata-san and pull out a knife mercilessly at him, but it didn't help, it didn't push her any closer to him—

However, he didn't have time to think too much, so as to get close to her heart——

Because the female judge suddenly laughed twice, and walked straight forward!

Izumi Mori Kanesada:? !

"Where are you going?!" He hurriedly chased after her and shouted.

The female judge didn't stop and replied without turning her head: "Go to Bentendaiba."

Izumi Shou Kanesada:! ! !

"Hey! What are you doing there?!" He had a bad feeling, and reflexively thought of the terrible place name "Ipponki Closed Gate", and what will happen after Mr. Hijikata leaves Goryokaku for Bentendaiba on this day bad thing about—

"You can't go!" he exclaimed, feeling as if the top of his head was going to smoke.

Ah, how could there be such a person? !Just now he said something coolly, "Don't worry, Kanesan, I won't fall in the dark again because I have said goodbye to Mr. Hijikata", then turned his head and immediately went to the dangerous place along that dangerous route. place? !Where is this performance that won't fall in the dark? !If the whole thing is not stopped and continues to develop like this, won't it repeat itself along the same lines as before? !

Thinking about it this way, Izumi Mori Kanesada felt even more bad about himself.

He rushed forward quickly, ignoring the strange (?) eyes cast by the swordsmen beside him, he stretched out his hand from behind the female judge, grabbed her shoulder, and forcibly stopped her in her footsteps.

"No, you can't go to Bentendaiba anymore!" He said gruffly, "What you should do is not to fight with the Shinsengumi members there, but..."

He stuck his shell slightly, then quickly recovered his voice, and said loudly: "...but to complete the task assigned to you by the government of time! That traitor god judge hasn't been found yet, you still have Are you in the mood to walk the path of Mr. Hijikata again?! How did you guarantee it just now?..."

The female examiner who had to turn around halfway because he forcibly pulled her shoulders had a look of surprise on her face.

"When did I say that I was going to walk along Mr. Hijikata's path again?" She asked back in surprise and amused, her eyes flicked over the big hand that held Izumi Mori Kanesada's shoulder, and re- He raised his head and looked straight into the deepest part of his blue eyes.

"Is that the only road leading to Benten Odaiba?" She sighed.

"...And, even if there is only one way, it doesn't matter. I don't know what to do."

"I'm going to Benten Odaiba because I deduce that it is the most likely place for changes in the current Hakodate. No matter what kind of force Kanna Rinne has taken refuge in now-whether it is the new government army or the time-traveling army Well——if they want to come up with something, isn’t Bentendaiba the best choice at this moment?”

Izumi Mori Kanesada: "...Huh?"

His brain turned a little slowly. After the female interrogator finished speaking, he was silent for a few seconds before realizing what her intentions were.

"So, so... where are you going to sit and wait for the guy that the government of time wants to arrest to appear automatically?" He asked a little in disbelief, "If that guy is just hiding somewhere timidly just to escape for his life?" , won’t appear on the battlefield?!”

He saw the female interrogator's eyes flicker, and then she pursed her lips, and the corners of her lips curled slightly, fully showing her contempt for the former colleague who left.

"The place where she left was outside Aizu City." She said with a smile.

"If she didn't want to take advantage of the Hakodate War to do something bad, why did she come all the way to Hakodate?"

Just when Izumi Mori Kanesada had the thought of "ah, she's right" because of these two sentences, he saw the corners of the female examiner's lips twitch suddenly, revealing a subconscious feeling The sly grin of a headache.

"...Besides, she's not like me, she's still looking forward to meeting Mr. Hijikata, isn't she?"

Izumi Mori Kanesada: "..."

Ah, it's so annoying.How could she act so nonchalantly, and even take this as a joke!

You must know that even though he has been out in Hakodate many times to annihilate the time-traveling army, although he has already made up his mind and his endurance has been fully tempered in each outing, every time he comes to this place, he still feels the pain in his heart. It was extremely heavy, and I didn't even dare to take the initiative to approach the key areas such as Goryokaku or Ipponki Kanmon. I was afraid that witnessing Mr. Hijikata's last moment at close range would make my nerves so tense that I would break my principles and rush out. Kill all those bastards who hide in the dark and dare to lay hands on Mr. Hijikata!

In the end, instead, the bond with Mr. Hijikata might be even deeper, and she stood here with a calm face, taking painful things like parting from life and death as the topic, and said in a relaxed tone——

"...You, are you the kind of person who can say such things so easily... Isn't this the last place of Mr. Hijikata..." He muttered and whispered resentment.

As a result, this complaint was heard by her.

"Jian-sang, be strong." She actually turned her hand around and patted him on the back.

Izumi Mori Kanesada shuddered and straightened his back suddenly.

"Hey you--"

... As a result, he glanced over unconsciously, but was shocked by her smiling tone and gloomy expression that did not match her tone.

"...Jian-sang, you must be strong in your heart." Her tone sounded too light, but her eyes were very gloomy, staring at the road leading to the closed door in front of her.

"On this road, there must be a 'key' necessary to complete the task. Whether it is a key location or a key timing..."

"Also, if you want to see me in pain, Hakodate is also an excellent place at this moment..." She murmured, her attention seemed to be completely diverted from Izumi Mori Kanesada, and she fell into her own contemplation.

"Maybe Kanna Rinne came here because she wanted to see my pained expression."

Her voice became light and ethereal, and there seemed to be a ghostly smile in her tone.

"...Then I can't make her happy."
