As soon as the name was spoken, there was a moment of silence at the scene.

Then, it was Qingyuan Xueye who calmly broke the silence that suddenly made the atmosphere dull and suffocating.

"Although it may be a bit rude to Hikiri-kun to say so——but, for some reason, there may be some god-judgments who prefer Kenmaru."

Although she knew that what she said was just a test, Kanna Rinne raised her voice a little anxiously.

"...However, not every god-judgmentist who prefers Kagemaru has a handsome face, a short stature, a high force value, and a deep-rooted hatred for Higakiri!"

Even though he was discussing the topic of him and his younger brother, the dark-fallen Hikakiri still held his broken body knife with lowered eyebrows and stood there like a stone statue.

Even though his body has been deformed due to the dark fall, bone spurs have grown, and his eyes have degenerated into a terrifying blood red, but when he is standing quietly like this, he still looks handsome and has an outstanding temperament , indeed lived up to his name of "Genji Treasure".

And to be able to force such a person to such an extent... If it is not the kind of person who is born with a distorted and extreme personality, then it is——

Is there really a reason to hate him—or whoever he represents behind him?

A bleak wind blows through the woods in 1869.This may be her last hiding place after she can never go back to her hometown and future.

Can this step be done for the sake of Xiangzi's mother-in-law who has never met?Kanna Rinne asked herself.

However, the answer gradually emerged in his heart.

No, it's not for Xiangzi's mother-in-law.

At first, I was curious about Xiangzi's mother-in-law, after I was selected as the judge of the gods.Because the parents have been talking at home about how outstanding Xiangzi's mother-in-law, who also served as a god judge, even sacrificed her youth and life for the sake of noble justice, and died young at a young age. Xiangzi's mother-in-law has moderate longing.

However, after tracing the deeds of Xiangzi's mother-in-law, it is gradually discovered that the truth is not a beautiful story at all.

An ordinary girl inspires her own potential, bravely fights against a terrifying enemy she has never heard of for passion and justice, grows and strengthens herself continuously on this road, and finally wins the noble hero who has been fighting with her all the time. The love of a beautiful, handsome, gentle and powerful god - this is a story woven by family members and relatives who don't know the truth for Grandma Xiangzi.

This is not true.With the beautiful vision of being deceived by lies, the self who joined the job as a god judge looks like a joke.

To make matters worse, Granny Xiangzi's last series of steps in her life, from her resignation to her death, seem to be shrouded in fog.

The gentle and handsome Kami-sama is not in love with each other, and she agreed to stay by her side only because she couldn't refuse the lord's request.Her boss, who worked hard, kicked her useless away like an empty bottle.In the end, Xiangzi's mother-in-law passed away silently somewhere, and nothing she could grasp was true or meaningful. ——This kind of life is left to me as a junior, not to follow or envy, but to hate and pity.

Now that I think about it, how did it all start?Is it because I feel cheated and betrayed that I feel angry and revenge?Or is it because in the process of investigating the truth and taking revenge, he unexpectedly found that he fell in love with a god who would not like him at all just like Grandma Xiangzi?

In order to get angry with him, or to prove that she is smarter, stronger, and more mobile than Grandma Xiangzi, she has carried out her original will and has been working hard to investigate, trying to prove that she has the ability and wisdom to take on the same role as Grandma Xiangzi. The savior of the god judges who were cannon fodder by the time government.However, in the end, she didn't have that much ability, so she could only escape with her colleagues at the last moment before the incident by taking the opportunity to perform the task together, and put all the responsibility on the person who performed the task with her Colleague - also the annoying woman who finally won the love of the gods, Kiyohara Yukiha.

But now, this annoying woman was still standing in front of him calmly.Behind her, she kept saying that the person she once followed died there just like that.However, this cruel reality still seems unable to shake her will and determination.

...So, at the end of the day - can you trust a little bit in this powerful opponent who will defeat you?

I can't go back.Same as Grandma Xiangzi.As for the one who caused himself and Grandma Xiangzi to fall into such a situation, apart from his own weakness and ignorance, there should be other culprits that need to be investigated——

So, handing over the responsibility of exposing these tragedies to Qingyuan Xueye, she can do it, right? !

Kanna Rinne smiled self-deprecatingly and shook her head.

"I, I can't go back anymore." She said abruptly in an unusually brisk tone.

"However, there are still many truths hidden there... Don't you want to know how Minamoto Yoshitsune, as a historical figure, escaped the doomed cruel fate?"

She paused, looked at Qingyuan Xueye's calm eyes, turned her face slightly to the direction of the woods behind them, and took a dose of strong medicine.

"You don't want to know, as a historical figure destined to die young, why Minamoto Yoshitsune can escape that fate, but Hijikata Toshizo must be plotted against and tragically sacrificed here in Hakodate again and again?!"

"You don't want to know why Hijikata Toshizo didn't have such a chance to come to your side and survive as your colleague of the god judge?"

"Qing Yuan-jun..." She slightly dragged out the ending, and there seemed to be a sympathetic sigh in her voice.

"Think about it! His ideals can clearly be implemented in the future era... Wielding a sword and fighting for the righteousness of maintaining world peace, no one can deny his achievements and achievements... "

She peeked at her opponent's face and suddenly changed the subject.

"He respects the value of the sword, and can give the sword its full potential...Compared with Yuan Yoshitsune, he will be a better candidate for the god judge, but the government of time did not choose him-you don't want to know Is that why? Don't you want to fight for him if you have the chance?"

She asked several questions in one breath, thinking it was enough weight, but her opponent still seemed indifferent.This made her even more anxious.

"Is this how you treat the one who loves you, Qingyuan Xueye?!" She snapped.

"You don't have to hide anything from me. As a woman, you and I both know—why should he treat you differently if it wasn't for at least a little special feeling for you? Don't tell me because You are an even more outstanding swordsman than those sword masters in the Shinsengumi—" she shouted, her veins bursting out of her voice.

"Isn't his love for you worth fighting for a chance for him to realize his ideal and survive!"

She hadn't finished speaking when a loud clang suddenly came from beside her.

Since he walked out of the woods, he has been carefully suppressing his emotions, keeping silent, and standing vigilantly behind Kiyohara Yukiha, one of the Fusangshin, Hijikata Toshizo's favorite sword, Izumi Mori Kanesada.

At this moment, his palm moved slightly, and with a clang, he pulled out the sword from the sheath a little.His face was flushed red, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he could no longer bear the excitement and anger aroused by her words in his heart; he bowed his body slightly, took a step, and shouted violently: "Damn—— ! If you keep talking nonsense, I will never forgive you——!”

Kanna Rinne's expression froze.Almost at the same time, Kiyohara Yukiha, who had been silent all the time and almost seemed indifferent, raised his left hand like lightning, and stood in front of Izumi Mori Kanesada, blocking his movements.

"Kane-sang, no!"

Izumi Mori Kanesada paused.

"Why?!" He asked back in disbelief, still resting his hand on the handle of the knife angrily, staring at the woman in front of him who dared to talk nonsense about assigning the deputy chief and his current lord.

"As a sinner who escaped, this attitude is really infuriating! Even in the past, you don't need to tell her too much! Didn't it be said in the law in the game that if you escape without authorization, you will have to cut seppuku—"

"There is no law in the game!" Kiyohara Yukiha suddenly raised her voice an octave, interrupting Izumi Mori Kanesada's angry remarks.

Izumi Mori Kanesada was taken aback instead.

"Hey...you, don't be instigated by her!" His voice suddenly lowered a little because of being overwhelmed by her, but the meaning of warning was still strong; perhaps there was a little concern and anxiety in it.

"The law will not disappear with the death of a person.... Shouldn't you know this better than anyone else?"

Although his voice was a little lower, Izumi Mori Kanesada's tone was not weak.Perhaps it was because he was confident that what he said was the most correct truth, he stared at the former acting leader of the Shinsengumi Ichiban in front of him, and said forcefully:

"Mr. Hijikata, you turned down the invitations of those French people here. Although I don't understand... But I remember that the French appreciated his talents and wanted to invite him to be an officer. However, Mr. Hijikata is almost Immediately declined..."

As he spoke, he actually raised his chest and raised his head, as proud as if he were honored.

"Because Mr. Hijikata has his own beliefs and will. It doesn't matter whether it's the French or the future government of the time! It doesn't matter if it's an officer or a trial judge... Let him leave everything here and go somewhere else He will not do anything else! Because this is Mr. Hijikata! The pillar that supported the shogunate to the end! Even without the general, he can still support the shogunate for so long, if there is no Mr. Hijikata If so, it will collapse immediately..."

Having said that, his voice dimmed along with his tone, but he immediately pulled himself together and said loudly:

"Have you forgotten Mr. Hijikata's last words of death, Yukiha-kun! He doesn't need you to fight for him to live! He knows what his destiny is, and accepts it frankly. This is Hijikata-san is a great place!"

He saw the bright black eyes of the Goddess before him open wider and wider.There was a gleam of water in those black crystal-like eyes.

When he said these words, he actually wanted to cry a little bit.

Just now, he once again witnessed the last moment of Mr. Hijikata.

It was torture to go through the same moments every time, but he was sure he was right about Hijikata-san.

If he hadn't been ready to sacrifice himself in the end, he wouldn't have let his surname, Ichimura Tetsunosuke, send him back to his hometown of Hinojuku, his favorite sword that he had carried with him for a long time and had followed him through countless battles. of.

Therefore, he must not let her be led astray by someone's unreasonable nonsense now.Mr. Hijikata's good consciousness can't be distorted by others so easily!

"Yukiba-kun, do you know what Mr. Hijikata's last death sentence is?" He shouted majesticly, emphasizing it again.

"If you know it, read it aloud! If you read it, you will be able to understand what his true meaning is—"

He saw her black eyes, which had been washed extremely clear by tears, slowly roll twice.

Then, the corners of her lips curled up slowly.

"The lonely official died on the island of Ezo, and his loyal soul will forever defend Dongfang Jun..." she said in a low voice, pausing every word; at the end of her speech, she blinked her eyelids, and a teardrop fell from there to her cheek on the cheek.

"I see," she said.

Before Izumi Mori Kanesada could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her say another terrible thing.

"I want to respect Mr. Hijikata's will. Similarly, I want to seek the truth."

Izumi Mori Kanesada: "What—?!"

The former head of the Shinsengumi Ichiban-gumi took a deep breath.

Saying this sentence, it seemed as if the cork that was deeply wedged in her heart was suddenly pulled out, and the aura of Kiyohara Yukiha who was once the acting leader of the Shinsengumi Ichiba burst out suddenly.

"Mr. Hijikata wants to uphold his faith, so I will uphold justice."

she said firmly.
