Chapter 233
"What's the matter, Xue Ye?!" His voice sank, his face became serious, and his eyes stayed on her face with concern.
"Where is it hurt? Or is it uncomfortable? What is going on-"
Before he finished speaking, he interrupted abruptly.
Because when he saw the brave girl just now, she suddenly raised her head to look at the sky covered by the dense tree canopy above her head, her lips trembling slightly as if she was trying to endure the sudden tears in her eyes.
"It's not fair...I just want to survive...I just don't want to see people I value die one by one!!"
Her voice gradually rose from low to high, almost distorted by the strong anger mixed with tears.
But after trying to suppress her strong emotional fluctuations, but still couldn't help shouting out these words, she seemed to be stuck again, just looking up at the fragmented place above her head that was divided by the dense branches and leaves of the big tree. In the sky, God appeared for a while.
In the end, she actually pulled the corners of her lips and smiled a little.
"It turns out...that's how it is..." She said softly as if she was talking to herself.
The emergence of this kind of thinking... has already broken the "law of the world", so the system bacteria forcibly blocked the skills without warning to prevent myself from becoming crazier.
When did it come out that "I am powerful, stronger than anyone in this world, so I should use this power to do some unreasonable things I want to achieve, for example-forcibly make what I like, Those people who want to take care of them spit out bento boxes." This is Mary Sue's unbelievable thought.
The system bacteria only asked her to let Tufang vomit lunch alone.However, what she wants to save now is the entire Shinsengumi. Isn't this dangerous idea enough to shake the foundation of the existence and operation of this world and destroy the normal development track of this world.
Her face turned gray little by little, but the strange smile on her lips got deeper and deeper.Finally, she snapped her eyes shut and laughed silently.
It turns out that I have become a self-righteous Mary Sue who thinks that she can change the course of the world by herself.
Therefore, it is impossible to be accepted by the system bacteria.
Never felt so strongly about being a really useful Mary Sue.However, this has proven impossible.
No matter how much you want to restore all this, no matter how much you want to keep these beautiful, kind and important people alive, can't you?is it not OK? !
Tears welled up suddenly inexplicably, and a teardrop drilled directly out of the corner of her eye, and slowly slid down the beautiful arc of her cheek.
Each of them is so young... They are brave, enthusiastic, serious, straightforward, trying to live, trying to care for their companions, trying to chase a dream that is out of date with this era...
Some people like this, just because their dreams are incompatible with this era, so this world can't accommodate them... Can't they live? !Must die? !
Suddenly, Liu Quan, who was desperately raising her head, closing her eyes, and holding back tears, felt a hand hesitantly and cautiously land on the top of her head, paused for a moment, and rubbed clumsily.
Suddenly, following this movement, her own voice seemed to echo in her mind.
[Touching the head, expressing "friendly support and firm trust", it means——I am on the side of Yikun, trusting Yikun to make the best choice, okay? 】
Yeah.Seriously, Yijun, he must have also carefully remembered the meaning of the "touch the head to kill" that he casually popularized to him.So now, he's trying to express the same to her, isn't he.
"'Friendly support and firm trust'—" she suddenly said softly, slightly curling the corners of her lips, and big tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Then, without warning, she opened her eyes, and looked directly at Xiao Yi who was squatting beside her, with a still calm expression, but a kind of confusion and worry in her eyes.
"Yijun, my magical ability has disappeared." She said bluntly.
Saito was taken aback for a moment, and the hand that was still performing [Touch the head to kill] also stopped on the black hair on top of her head that was messed up by the fight.
"Disappear?! Disappear...what do you mean?"
Liu Quan smiled wryly and sighed.
"...That is to say, there will be no more in the future. Probably because of frequent use and overdrawing of my body..."
An explanation that is somewhat understandable to people of this era must be given.She searched her brains, thinking of words.
"This kind of miraculous ability was originally exchanged for hollowing out a certain aspect of my body in a certain way... Just now on the battlefield, I suddenly felt a burst of violent pain in my body that I had never seen before. Pain, if you try to use that ability again, it will be useless..."
Liu Quan spoke dryly, with a lost and sad expression, and a little bit at a loss.
It is hard to accept and painful to suddenly lose the miraculous ability to rely on with confidence in such a cruel battlefield, thinking that you will be able to win with it...
Thinking of this, Saito rubbed the top of her head again clumsily and stiffly, messing up her hair even more.
"...It doesn't matter. Then don't use it. We will always have other ways to win... If you have to pay a huge price, or even destroy your ability in exchange for it, if you give it up, maybe it's not a big deal for you What about the bad...?" He said a little bit tongue-tied.
Comforting others has never been Saito's forte, let alone comforting a crying girl on a dangerous battlefield.
For some unknown reason, while he was stumbling and speaking ineffectively, he couldn't help but think of the night when he finally left the Imperial Tomb Guard's quarters and returned to the Shinsengumi.
He actually had a hard time that day.During the day, Kokotaro Ito was suddenly called to have a secret talk, and was forced to hear his shocking plan to assassinate Mr. Kondo. Even though his heart was extremely shocked, he had no choice but to pretend that he would participate in his plan.
However, after he agreed, perhaps because he was worried about his loyalty, Kokotaro Ito appointed two more confidants to monitor him intentionally or unintentionally at any time, so that he had no chance to leave the village to meet Kiyohara Yukiba and prepare the imperial mausoleum guards. Shocking news of Kondo's assassination comes back to the Shinsengumi.
At night, he had already missed the meeting time he had agreed with Kiyohara Yukiba, and he had even carefully considered whether to take the risk, forcibly sneaking out of Gaotai Temple in the middle of the night, and ran back to the Shinsengumi to report the news.However, if he does this, he will inevitably expose his undercover identity, and more importantly - arouse the suspicion and vigilance of the Imperial Tomb Guards, which in turn will affect Shinsengumi's other important plans to deal with the Imperial Tomb Guards.
But at that moment, she came.
He still felt a little suspicious when he was called out by Hashimoto, a team member with a panicked and careless face.Because he doesn't have what Hashimoto called a "friend"—although he and Qingyuan often pretend to be lovers to meet outside, but that kind of vulgar and indecent term obviously cannot be used to describe their disguise; besides, he feels that Qingyuan is not Because he missed a meeting, he dared to break into the guards of the Imperial Tomb alone to find someone——
But he was wrong.When he saw the girl with a strange face outside the door, he cried out in a hoarse voice, "You forgot that you liked me so much and gave me cherry pancakes that I couldn't finish eating." When I read the lines, the surprise and shock in my heart reached the highest point at the same time.
Ahh, it turned out to be her.he thinks.
Because there was only one person who he had ever delivered "sakura cakes that you can't finish eating".
And now, it was the second time he saw her cry.If it was because of acting last time, then this time, he could sense the resentment, powerlessness, self-blame and pain in her heart.
He didn't know how to comfort her, and wanted to say "you've done enough", but felt that this kind of words sounded a bit blunt; in a hurry, he suddenly remembered that she once touched his head. move.
Maybe in her mind, doing that can comfort and encourage a person?
...Probably, it is true.
Because he saw her slowly smile with tears in her eyes.It was a real smile, and the smile was stained with firmness again, as if he had made some kind of decision.
"Also, you have used that ability to support me three times. I must thank you for this." He said solemnly.
Her eyes flickered, as if she was a little surprised, but soon her expression eased, she nodded slightly, and said: "If you really want to thank me, you can buy a lot of cherry cakes and give them to me." .”
Later, they managed to find a way to escape from the siege of Tosa and Tottori soldiers from Kannon-zaka, and returned to the main camp.
However, what awaits them in this formation is even more cruel and unbelievable things.
...a Rakshasa who can move freely during the day.
Although Shannan Hesuke drank the turning water and turned into a Rakshasa, just like the origin of the Rakshasa—the vampires in the West, they can only move freely at night.It's not impossible to force yourself to come out during the day, but everything from being exposed to the sun to doing various things will cause Rakshasa's body to feel extremely painful.
This is the limitation of Rakshasa.That's why the Rakshasa of the newly selected group could only be active at night. Even in this Battle of Kofu, they didn't send a Rakshasa team out—because the power of the Rakshasa in broad daylight would be greatly reduced. Ordinary Rakshasa soldiers who are a little weaker in willpower will also have various unpredictable problems, and the harm outweighs the benefits under the balance, so they are temporarily hidden.
However, the Rakshasa who are currently active on the Shinsengumi Main Front of the Kashiwabi Bridge in Katsunuma, have not been affected by sunlight or daylight in their every move, fully showing the terrifying killing ability of the Rakshasa at night, except for a few force values Except for the extremely high and extraordinary cadres, the ordinary soldiers and other temporarily recruited combat assistants are completely at their mercy.
When Saito and Liuquan rushed down the mountain in a hurry, they happened to catch up with a large wave of Rakshasa to attack.
Regardless of reporting the situation of the Kannon-zaka battle to others, or informing others of the bad fact that "Kyohara's superpowers can no longer be counted on", Saito and Liu Quan immediately drew their swords and went to the battlefield.
The author has something to say:

Still very tired. . .
Tomorrow the deputy chief will make his debut again, so let’s speed up the progress of the plot, but I’m worried that everyone will switch to other CPs because of this [No
