Chapter 1943: Purgatory should not be unsheathed yet
When Sogna brought Samura to the mountain gate, Fujimaru Ritsuka was chatting with Sakamoto Ryoma.
"Miss Aaron looks so sleepy."
Fujimaru Ritsuka squatted on the ground with one hand holding his knees, and stretched out the other hand to poke the bulging cheeks of the sleepy Miss Aaron who was lying on Ryoma.
"Don't fix it..."
Miss Aaron raised her hand to push away Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, then turned around and continued to fall asleep.
"Because it's always safe here. Even if there is danger, it's at night."
Ryoma smiled gently and helped Miss Aaron tidy up her beautiful long black hair.
"Well...because Ryoma will not be harmed in any case, Miss Aaron will sleep peacefully."
Miss Aaron opened one eye and glanced at Longma.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled subconsciously after listening to Miss Aaron's words.
No harm will come of it anyway...
she......
I couldn't help but think of something.
That is......
The Death of Ryoma Sakamoto.
How did Ryoma Sakamoto, the hero of the Restoration, die?
He was assassinated and died.
So, who was assassinated?
He was assassinated by his "companions" who were reforming together.
Ryoma is one of the most powerful people among the reformers. His idea is to achieve bloodless change by forcing the shogunate to hand over its power. But because of this, he is crazy about using war to solve the problem.
All the companions believed that he was a weak person and a coward who delayed the Restoration, so they caught Miss Aaron while she was buying food for Ryoma and killed the Restoration Dragon on November 15, the third year of Keio.
day.
Miss Aaron also followed Ryoma's death, walked into the sea, and fell into an endless sleep.
Shortly before Ryoma was assassinated, Takasugi Shinsaku, also a hero of the Restoration and one of the four-person alliance, also died of illness in Choshu.
The four-person alliance was defeated at once. Kido Takayoshi was unable to stand alone but had to raise the beam to try to control the situation. Samura Anno, carrying the sadness and anger of the death of his best friend, resisted the desire to kill Saigo Moritaka.
, one man armed with three swords, embarked on the road to Kyoto, and plunged himself into an abyss from which he could never escape.
At this moment, what Miss Aaron said——
【Ryoma will not be harmed no matter what】
This sentence......
"Miss Ritsuka."
A call woke Fujimaru Ritsuka out of his thoughts.
"Ryoma, you are so lazy."
Samura followed Souna and walked over, smiling and teasing Ryoma.
"It's just that Miss Aaron is a little sleepy."
After taking a pillow from the side and placing it on Miss Aaron's head, Ryoma stood up.
"Are you going up the mountain?"
Miss Aaron fell asleep very peacefully behind Ryoma, while Ryoma looked at Zuo Cun.
Samura didn't answer, but looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka like a relay.
"At least something should be done... I have some things I want to find out, about me, about this village, about... this singularity."
Fujimaru Ritsuka is not taboo about the word singularity.
There were no surprises or inexplicable expressions on the faces of Samura, Ryoma, and Soina, but they were just a little confused.
"Singularity?"
Ezuna tilted her head.
"Nothing, let's go up the mountain first."
Shaking his head, Fujimaru Ritsuka said nothing more, nodded to Ryoma, and then walked through the mountain gate with Samura and Soina.
Oh, there was also a red and black shadow, it was Oda Nobu, also following Zuomura, and rushed over with a whoosh.
Entering Kurokawa Mountain, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that the surrounding air suddenly became colder and the sky seemed to become darker.
"...I'm here to solve this singularity."
"I will do it, just like before."
After encouraging himself, Fujimaru Ritsuka walked at the front and set foot on the mountain road.
...
"Sometimes, I am actually a little curious."
With Shiro Tea House, Sen no Rikyu seems to be making tea all the time, but someone will always drink the tea he makes.
"Why did that guy want to create this singularity?"
"Don't you think it's strange? Or...why are you voluntarily imprisoned in this place?"
Sen Rikyu looked at the shadow hiding in the corner.
"Shouldn't your duty be to clean up this singularity?"
"And... you wouldn't be clear that no matter what the so-called happiness in this singularity is, it is false and wrong. As a guardian, why do you just look at it like this?"
"Watch that guy make mistakes, watch the singularity exist."
Okita Souji Alter's shoulders shook for a moment.
"The devil of the devil means the judgment when it falls into the Abi Hell."
"You know that while I am a guardian, I am also Okita Souji."
Okita Souji Alter turned around and looked at Sen Rikyu seriously with his pale eyes.
"This is not the time for purgatory to be unsheathed."
"I will cut off his head, but not now."
At the same time, a voice also sounded in Sen Rikyu's mind.
"Rikyu-sama, please stop meddling in this kind of matter."
It was Komahime who died in vain.
The branches grew, and Komaji's consciousness seemed to be a little angry.
"Rikyu-sama is always so incomprehensible. When encountering such a situation, should I make a cup of matcha for Rikyu-sama at the end of this singularity?"
Sen Rikyu's expression stiffened instantly.
"Is this torture!?"
...
It started to drizzle on the mountain road.
What time of year is it now?
Fujimaru Ritsuka did not dwell on this issue.
She has not cared about the so-called "season" for a long time. Traveling through the history of various times through the transfer of souls always gives her a somewhat dazed feeling.
But--fortunately, at least she still knows what her time is all about.
"You are still here, you will definitely come."
That somewhat illusory voice sounded in Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears again, as if she was speaking next to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Fujimaru Ritsuka did not answer.
She knew that the person speaking was definitely not with her.
But where...
"Come to the shrine."
"I will wait for you under the cherry trees."
After saying these two sentences, the voice disappeared.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes flickered for a moment.
Want to go?
go!
Since the other party has expressed a willingness to communicate, it means that there is the possibility of negotiation.
I just don’t know to what extent the other party can communicate.
"Let's... walk faster."
Fujimaru Ritsuka took a heavy breath.
The rain was a little heavier, hitting the blue-gray mud steps.
A group of four people faced the rain and quickly rushed towards the shrine halfway up the mountain.
