Seven days had passed since the private conversation between Changzeng Mi Hucha and Red Heart. During this time, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Although he did not know why, Double Edged Blade's heart, which had been hanging in the air for the past few days, finally relaxed a little.

And ever since the speculation that Chizuru Yukimura was from the Gui Clan, after all kinds of subtle probing, Red Heart and Changzeng Mi could confirm that Chizuru Yukimura was indeed from the Gui Clan, but she did not seem to know about it.

And it was precisely because she did not know about it that Double Edged Blade was troubled. If she knew about his identity, he could always find a way to get some information about the Gui Clan from her, which would make it easier for him and the others to formulate their next plan. But she really did not know and was not pretending. Her existence was equivalent to a target, attracting the attention of the Gui Clan and the Time Reversal Army. This made Double Edged Blade very distressed.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Double Edged Blade finally decided to tell his thoughts and guesses to Hijikata Toshizo and the others, as well as Jiazhou Qingguang, who had been kept in the dark and did not know about his private plans.

As Double Edged Blade expected, although Hijikata Toshizo and the others were surprised when they heard about this, they quickly calmed down and began to investigate these guesses and ideas.

As for Jiazhou Qingguang and the others …

"Really, whether it's Red Heart or Changzeng Mi, how could they hide such an important matter from us for so long? This is too much. They even said that we are companions. Hmph, they don't trust us at all."

Jiazhou Qingguang angrily looked at the two big brothers of the Shinsengumi and complained with a pout. At the same time, he turned his head and refused to make eye contact with Double Edged Blade to express his dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean to. We just felt that there was no convincing evidence at the time. It was just Double Edged Blade's suspicious guess, so we didn't tell you.

Originally, we just didn't want you to have a headache with us, but I didn't expect … it's not that we don't trust you. "

Seeing that not only Jiazhou Qingguang, but also Mamoru Yamato, Mamoru Izumi, and even Kunihiro nodded in agreement, Red Heart hurriedly explained with a bitter smile on his face.

Even though they didn't know that when the enemy came, their expectations would be more realistic, but in the end, his original intention was to prevent them from being wiped out. He didn't have any strong evidence to prove his conjecture, so he didn't want them to be as worried as he was.

"That's true, and we all know that you're doing this for our own good, Big Brother Chixin, but we still feel unhappy about it. If we had a choice, we would also like to be able to shoulder more responsibilities like you, instead of placing most of the burden on you!"

Although he could understand that Akeshi Chouguang and the others were thinking for their own good and didn't want them to be as nervous as they were, Kazumi Mamoru was still very unhappy. It wasn't just because he was unhappy about being kept in the dark, but more because he felt that he couldn't make Akeshi Chouguang and the others believe that he could bear more unhappiness.

Although Kazumi Mamoru would always complain that this wasn't a job that Saber and Sword should do, when it came to the critical moment, he still hoped that his companions would feel that he had the ability and confidence to shoulder the responsibility of Saber and Sword.

"I'm sorry … It's all my fault …"

"Okay, okay, since Changzeng Mi and the others have admitted their mistakes, then we'll forgive them. After all, they did this for our own good. What do you think, Canessan?"

"Since you said so, Horikawa … But!

Changzeng Mi, Red Heart, next time!

Never!

You can't keep saying that it's for our own good and not tell us anything! "

Looking at Red Heart and Changzeng Mi Hucha's annoyed expression because of Izumi Mamoru Kaneda's confession, Horikawa Kunihiro hurriedly came out to help mediate the situation, intending to let this matter go.

Hearing Horikawa Kunihiro's persuasion, and knowing that he didn't intend to get angry with Red Heart over this matter, Mamoru Izumi awkwardly went along with Kunihiro's words and expressed that he forgave them.

"Don't worry, it won't happen again."

"That's more like it, hmm?

Horikawa, what's wrong? "

"Kanesan …" Horikawa Kunihiro pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sounds coming from outside the house. His expression was a little hesitant. "Did you hear that something seemed to be happening outside the house? I don't know what they are saying, but it's very noisy …"

"Is it?

Let me hear it … It sounds a little messy … "

Although Mamoru Izumi wasn't as good as Angus in terms of detection, he was still much more sensitive than humans. After concentrating hard to listen to the sounds coming from outside the house, he also heard something similar to an argument, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"I don't know what's going on … Anyway, let's go take a look first."

Although he didn't know if the sudden noise was related to the Ghost Clan or the Time Reversal Army, it was better to be safe than sorry, and Red Heart decided to go out and take a look.

And it turned out that Red Heart's decision was very timely, because when Multiblade arrived, the troublemakers seemed to be planning to retreat.

"Mr. Yamanami!"

His eyes were full of Shannan Keisuke, whose clothes and hair were a little messy after fighting with others. Chixin Chongguang hurriedly rushed to his side and blocked Shannan Keisuke behind him in a vigilant posture.

And after him, the other Multiblades also rushed to their respective masters, and looked at the group of people led by the blonde young man with hostility.

"Interesting, truly interesting. I didn't expect this small New Choice Group to have so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Other than the few of you who have barely touched the limits of humanity, there are still people who can make me instinctively wary … Looks like I made the right choice in coming here."

Originally, he didn't plan to confront the Shinsengumi so early, but because he discovered that in addition to the forces he currently knew, there was another force that seemed to have discovered Chizuru Yukimura's identity as a pure-blood Ghost, and wanted to capture her to threaten him and Tsunamichi Yukimura. The blonde young man, the leader of the Fujen Clan who led the Western Ghost Clan, Chikage Fuuma, changed his plan. Before the Satsuma Domain joined the battle between the Shinsengumi and the Tobaku Faction, he came to the Shinsengumi in an attempt to take away his fiancée, the last pure-blood female Ghost of the Eastern Ghost Clan, Chizuru Yukimura.

But to Chikage Fuuma's surprise, after learning of his identity and purpose, and after he clearly told her that he could take her to find her adoptive father, Tsunamichi Yukimura, not only did Chizuru Yukimura not agree to leave with him, but even the Shinsengumi, who were supposed to be wary of the Ghost Clan, were willing to draw their swords against him in order to protect Chizuru Yukimura.

Although this proved that he had a good eye, and as his fiancee, Chizuru Yukimura's charm was not to be underestimated, to the conceited Chikage Fuuma, Chizuru Yukimura actually dared to reject his good intentions. This made him very dissatisfied, and he vented his anger on the Shinsengumi.

However, what Chikage Fuuma did not expect was that after he gave a little warning to the Shinsengumi, trying to make them understand that Chizuru Yukimura was not a woman they could covet, and that they should pay attention to protecting Chizuru Yukimura, just as he was about to leave, a group of people wearing different outfits, including the Shinsengumi's uniform, suddenly appeared. They were unfamiliar faces that he had not seen in the information before, and they made him instinctively feel wary and uneasy. This made Chikage Fuuma, who had a rather arrogant personality and thought that no one would be a match for him as a pure-blood Ghost, become interested. He wanted to see just how strong these people were, who made him wary just by standing there.

"Breaking into the Shinsengumi's camp without permission, you … who the hell are you?"

From the annoying tone of the person in front of him, Red Heart guessed that he was the leader of the people who had just attacked Mr. Yamanami. Red Heart's tone was very stiff.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, unlike Chizuru Yukimura, who he was uncertain about, this blonde guy had a very obvious, different from humans, somewhat similar to the Rakshasa he met the other day, but it gave him a purer feeling.

Even if there was no other evidence, Red Heart dared to assert that this guy was a legendary Ghost.

Since he was a Ghost who might be in cahoots with the Time Reversal Army, and the leader of the people who attacked Keisuke Yamanami, Red Heart's rare cold attitude towards strangers was understandable.

"Chikage Fuuma, also a pure-blood Ghost who leads the Western Ghost Clan, came here this time just to take away my fiancée. Who asked you to be just a mere human? It's your honor to be able to stay by Chizuru Yukimura's side for so long, and you actually dare to stop me from taking her away. Hmph, if it weren't for Chizuru Yukimura, I would have completely gotten rid of you troublesome guys.

But it doesn't matter, when the war between the Shogunate and the Tobaku faction begins, I will have plenty of opportunities to completely get rid of you annoying guys. "

"Oh, completely get rid of you?!

You sure talk big. It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know the immensity of heaven and earth! "
