The author who was obsessed with money wanted to earn a few more cents,

So he turned on the anti-theft device,

"Ah …"

"Ha …"

"Um … excuse me … Did I do something wrong?"

Surrounded by the legendary Okita Kun and the other swordsmen, who looked at her as if she was a rare treasure, Chizuru Yukimura only felt that something was wrong with her whole body,

She couldn't help but look at the Red Heart who was watching Jiazhou Qingguang and the others coldly with his arms crossed. He seemed to be the easiest to negotiate with.

"Qing Guang, Yamato, Mamoru Izumi, Kunihiro, have you guys had enough,

If you continue to watch like this,

Be careful that Miss Yukimura gets angry,

I'll make it clear in advance,

If she's unhappy, I don't care, you guys can coax her yourselves. "

"No … Big Brother Red Heart, we're just very curious …"

"Curious about what?"

"Curious that Mr. Kondo and Mr. Toshizo would let her go,

And even allow her to live in the station, what does the girl look like,

How beautiful and special, aren't you curious, Big Brother Red Heart? "

"I say — Qing Guang …" Looking at Chizuru Yukimura, who lowered her head with a red face because of Jiazhou Qingguang's undisguised words,

Red Heart only felt helpless, these naughty children were getting harder and harder to take care of, "No matter how curious you are, there's no reason to keep staring at a girl, right?

And you guys, Yamato Moriyasu, Izumi Mamoru Kaneda, Horikawa Kunihiro, the three of you, don't laugh,

You guys are no better than Qing Guang!

Seriously … all of you are so troublesome, can't you learn from Changzeng Mi and be more mature? "

"Ah?

What?

What's wrong with me? "

Changzeng Mi, who had just returned from sparring with the original host, Isamu Kondo,

Before he even walked in, he heard Chi Xin mention his name to Chong Guang.

He looked at Red Heart, who was as reliable as the original host, Keisuke Yamanami, with a head full of confusion.

"Big Brother Changzeng Mi, you're back.

It's nothing, it's just that Qing Guang and the others want to learn from you. All day long, there's no time for Blade to relax. "

"What did they do again?

Is … is it because of this … Snow, Yukimura … Chizuru? "

Knowing the personalities of her companions and brothers very well, plus Chizuru Yukimura who was at a loss, Chizuru Nagatomi immediately understood the reason why Toshimitsu began to use her to educate Wataru Izumi and the others. It was probably because he heard that there was a girl living in the station, or all the team members knew that Kondo-san and Thikaga-san had agreed to let her stay, and out of curiosity, they did something that gave Toshimitsu a headache.

"That … I'm really sorry, it's all because of me …"

Seeing that Mamoru Izumi and the others were being lectured by Red Heart because of her, Chizuru Yukimura, who had an excessively good personality, hurriedly spoke up, wanting to plead for Mamoru Izumi and the others. After all, they just watched and didn't do anything. Yukimura felt that she could accept it. After all, if she knew that someone important to her suddenly made an unusual decision, she would also be very curious.

"Miss Yukimura, there's no need to be like this. It's because we're family, and we're companions, that's why we lectured them. You don't have to worry.

And in a sense, as Mr. Yamanami and the others' swords, we're also considered the hosts here. It's not good to be rude to guests. "

"That, that's … right … only companions who are as important as family would want them to be better … That, that … Mr. Red Heart …"

"What?"

"You don't have to be so polite. Although I'm a girl, and I haven't lived here for long, but … but to me, everyone in the Shinsengumi is like my family, so … so Mr. Red Heart can just call me Chizuru."

"Okay … Chizuru."

Looking at Chizuru Yukimura, who was gentle and kind, and didn't alienate the members of the Shinsengumi because of the reputation of the Unborn Wolf, Chizuru Yukimura's cold and distant eyes became gentle and real.

After all, even swords couldn't hate a cute and kind girl.

"Then, then, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Goodbye, Mr. Red Heart …"

Chizuru Yukimura bowed to say goodbye, and before Red Heart and the others could respond, she quickly ran away. Ahhh … this is cheating!

How could there be such a gentle and handsome person?

Forget about Okita Kun and Mr. Yamanami, even their swords were so handsome. Sure enough, good-looking people were attracted to each other.

Red Heart, who had no idea what Chizuru Yukimura was thinking, didn't pay much attention to it. She leaned against the pillar in the corridor and looked at Changzeng Mi Hucha.

"So, Changzeng Mi, did you find out anything from Mr. Kondo?

Like the so-called Rakshasa we met the other day, or something that might be related to the Time Reversal Army? "

"Ah, according to Mr. Kondo, creatures that look very similar to humans have existed in this world for a long time, called the Ghost Clan. But whether in terms of physical strength, self-healing ability, or other aspects, the Ghost Clan is far superior to humans, because they covet this power that originally didn't belong to humans.

Under the orders of Shogunate, a very famous Lanfang doctor near Kyoto, I think his name is … Tsunamichi Yukimura, a guy who developed something called the Water of Transformation. As long as humans drink the Water of Transformation, they can obtain power beyond their limits.

But this potion is not perfect, and there is a big flaw … "

"So, Rakshasa came about because of this, right?"

"Ah, yes, although humans who drink the Water of Transformation can obtain power beyond the limits of human beings, at the same time, they will gradually become irrational, have a strong thirst for blood, and are neither human nor ghost. Shogunate called them Rakshasa, which is the group of guys we met that night."

"Sure enough … humans … Why are they always unwilling to understand that if you want to get something, you have to pay a price. If you want to obtain power beyond the limits of human beings, how can a simple bottle of potion do it, really …"

"Aren't humans the same kind of creatures?

They are more glorious than everything in the world, but also more filthy than everything in the world. Light and darkness, humans are such contradictory and complicated creatures, aren't they? "

"That's true … By the way, Changzeng Mi, did Mr. Kondo tell you any other information?

For example, anything that might be related to the Time Reversal Army? "

After shaking his head and sighing for a moment, Chixin Chongguang threw his emotions to the back of his mind and continued to ask Changceng Mi about the purpose of their trip.

After all, Red Heart still remembered his true identity. If he wanted to maintain his current identity as Red Heart for a while, it was not impossible to use the Yin-Yang Technique, but it could only last for about three months at most. Any longer and it was likely that his ability would go berserk, and the consequences of that would be …

Red Heart recalled that he had been constantly changing his identity as Fu Mourning God for almost an entire year, and the different long memories almost made him into a state of schizophrenia. He felt that it was better to work hard to complete the task within the three-month deadline, solve the problem of the Time Reversal Army, and return to his original identity. After all, Red Heart did not want to experience the consequences of his ability going berserk again.

"Mr. Kondo has not seen the Time Reversal Army with his own eyes, so he is not sure if it has anything to do with them. However, after practicing with me, Mr. Kondo told me that if we did not go easy on those Rakshasa that night, then those Rakshasa were much stronger than the ones they had encountered before."

"Is that so …"

"Yes, according to Mr. Kondo, if those Rakshasa were not already very strong before drinking the Changing Water, then it could only be that there was something wrong with the Changing Water that they drank. It might be much more effective than the ones they had collected before.

However, I think that the possibility of the Changing Water being problematic is much higher, because according to Mr. Kondo, if it was not the Changing Water, then when those Rakshasa were still normal people, their strength would probably be on par with them. "

"This is unlikely. Whether it is the Shogunate or the Tobaku faction, even if they look down on Mr. Kondo and the others, they have no choice but to take them seriously based on their strength. A Changing Water that thirsts for blood and loses its rationality, and in the end, it will not distinguish between friend and foe. I don't think they would consider giving it to warriors of Mr. Kondo and the others unless they have to fight with their backs to the wall. The problem should be with the Changing Water. It might be … the Time Reversal Army!

I think that the Time Reversal Army might have strengthened the effect of the Changing Water and experimented with it on the Ronin! "

"Yes, Mr. Kondo and I think so too. What do you think?

What should we do next? "

"Next … Let's try to investigate the places where the Rakshasas often appeared when they were still Ronins. Maybe we can find some clues. If we're lucky, it's not impossible to find the stronghold of the Time Reversal Army."
