After Zuo Cun described everything that happened on Kurokawa Mountain to everyone in the Trial Guard Hall, everyone fell silent.
Ms. Okita also finished packing her things and came back halfway, and followed with additional explanations.
"So, is this the truth hidden under the message..." Shusuke Kondo sighed.
He has seen enough, but he still can't help but feel sad when he hears such things.
"She chose to end on her own. We... just helped her find herself." Zuo Cun looked at the fire with a depressed expression.
"Speaking of which, Miss Hoshikuma once bowed to Samura when she was dying. What did that bow mean...?" Okita recalled the beautiful white Yukina and couldn't help but think.
"...Perhaps only Ms. Xingxiong knows the feelings in this." Zuo Cun was silent for a moment, pretending to smile lightly.
"However, Samura, you are still strong. Just now you said it yourself, you must have chopped off the heads of the Amaneki twice." Shimazaki Isamu laughed and hammered Samura on the shoulder.
"If it weren't for the white Miss Hoshikuma and the existence of another friend, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat Miss Hoshikuma in that state." Zuomura shook his head.
Miss Aaron's existence cannot be exposed, so he never mentioned Miss Aaron from beginning to end.
"Even so, Mr. Samura's slashing also played a vital role. If Mr. Samura hadn't consumed a lot of Ame Hidden Ghost's strength, the white Miss Hoshikuma would not have been able to awaken the true will of Hoshikuma Yukina. "Okita laughed twice.
"Speaking of which, you guys can really meet each other." Toshizo Hijikata touched his chin.
"Is this a special fate?" Shimazaki Isamu glanced between Zuocun and Okita with a strange look.
The two people watching felt uncomfortable.
"Hey, didn't you just say you wanted to drink? Are you going?" Zuo Cun interrupted this awkward topic.
"Don't, you will really be squeezed to death." Saito shrank his head.
His eyes have been staring at Zuocun since the beginning.
He was interested in both the story Zuo Cun told and the person Zuo Cun.
His way of survival is to be casual. Although he is a genius in swordsmanship, he has no master and no sect. He has a self-contained system similar to Zuo Cun.
And the story.
Killing ghosts or something...
Really, I wish I had been there at that time. Such an interesting thing did not happen to me.
The reason why he drew his sword was not heavy at all.
His reason was just that he thought it was fun to draw the sword.
"Edo is indeed overcrowded now. If you want to drink, you can buy some by yourself." Shusuke Kondo put forward his own opinion, "However, only Shimazaki Hijikata and Samura you three can drink. Okita and Saito is not allowed to drink!"
"Although I had no intention of drinking..." Ms. Okita scratched the back of her head in confusion.
"Why can't I drink too? I'm not from your Imperial Guard Hall." Saitoichi said dissatisfiedly.
"As a senior in kendo, I want to guide you to the right path, so if you are not allowed to drink, you are not allowed to drink." Kondo Shusuke said this and left.
"Hehehehe, Saito, you'd better wait until you're an adult before you drink." Shimazaki patted Saitoichi on the shoulder with a wicked smile, "Let's go, Hijikata, Samura, the three of us have a good drink today! "
"Oh, here we come!" The Hijikata man stood up from the ground and moved his body.
"I'll go put the salute in the room."
"Okay, Hijikata and I will wait for you outside." Shimazaki waved his hand.
Zuo Cun picked up his two knives and walked towards the end of the corridor.
But I saw an unexpected figure.
"Mr. Kondo." Zuo Cun saluted slightly.
Kondo Shusuke looked a little thin, but his eyes were the same as those Zuo Cun had seen a long time ago, extremely sharp, as if he could see through people.
Kondo Shusuke looks a little gentler than before, maybe it's because he has such a brat like Saito.
Although Okita is not here, young people will be full of vigor, as if they have endless energy, infecting everyone around them all the time.
"The progress is indeed not small." Kondo Shusuke nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that you did not find a teacher, but tried to develop a new school yourself?"
"Yes." Zuo Cun nodded and admitted humbly, "Because I didn't find a suitable teacher, I thought about developing it myself. The sword technique is still very messy and still needs to be perfected."
There is no need to hide this kind of thing, and Zuo Cun's swordsmanship school has long been spread along with the name "Hagui Zhan". Some people even want Zuo Cun to teach them swordsmanship after recognizing Zuo Cun.
Zuo Cun rejected all of them without exception.
If his own strength has not been recognized by himself, how can he become a teacher for others? .
"If you have the chance, let me see your swordsmanship." Kondo Shusuke smiled slightly, "It is a regret of my life that I did not carve your sword embryo with my own hands, but I am still very happy that you can find your own the way."
"I've arranged your room. It's still the same guest room as before. You shouldn't be able to find it, right?"
"Yeah." Zuo Cun nodded.
Kondo Shusuke patted Zuo Cun on the shoulder, crossed Zuo Cun, and walked over.
Zuo Cun turned around and looked at Kondo Shusuke's back.
"Mr. Kondo!" he shouted suddenly.
"Huh? Zuocun, is there anything else?" Kondo Shusuke tilted his head slightly.
"Thank you... for your teachings to me a few years ago." Zuo Cun bowed deeply to Kondo Shusuke.
.....
"Ah, that guy Saito is absolutely right. There are so many people in Edo at this time." Hijikata looked unhappy.
There were too many people on the street, especially in the shopping street where the three people were, where only heads could be seen.
"Go back quickly after buying something." Shimazaki frowned.
Zuo Cun rolled his eyes.
All three of them carry swords. Their status as samurai should have a certain deterrent effect on civilians, but now everyone is crowded.
Laughing to death, I can't even see the knife.
After struggling for a long time, several people finally bought wine and meat to go with the wine, and then they squeezed out of the shopping street with great effort and rushed to the trial defense hall.
"I'm freezing to death. Go back and drink!" Isamu Shimazaki shuddered and ran like a penguin with a can of wine.
"Hey, Shimazaki, wait for me!" Hijikata shouted and chased after him.
Zuo Cun carried two pieces of cooked meat and chased after the two men with a smile.
This kind of life with companions is so comfortable and warm, I want people to stay here involuntarily...
