"Good job, hard work..."

​​

Kneeling on one knee in front of the wreckage of the doll on the ground, Sousuke Araki stretched out his hand and touched the small ceramic face of Aju's doll that looked like a smile but not a smile...

​​

Under the black snow, a burst of white light bloomed at the head of the dark bridge.

​​

When he came back to his senses, the torn apart "Aju Humanoid" had disappeared without a trace.

​​

In the original position, there was a cute girl of about three years old, wearing a black floral kimono, combing watermelon hair, and chubby cheeks.

​​

"You can go at ease, and leave the rest to me!"

​​

Sosuke Araki's hand, which is bigger than her head, is swaying dotingly on his head.

​​

"Is it the Buddha that Aju said, came to bless us?"

​​

"Father, mother..."

​​

The fluorescent light spread, and the dolls that originally surrounded them all turned into a petite and cute girl with folded hands.

​​

"Aju... finally has her own expression..."

​​

Ignoring the "big sinful hand" frantically rubbing her head, Ah Ju, who was standing in the "crowd", first rubbed her fleshy little face vigorously, and then began to try to smile, be angry, sad, serious, etc. various expressions...

​​

"Yong, Brother Yongji?"

​​

Suddenly, she looked behind Sosuke Araki, and tears began to fill her eyes.

​​

"Are you here... pick up Aju..."

​​

Showing a happy smile, Aju slowly folded her hands in front of her, and together with the girls beside her, scattered fireworks and fallen flowers.

​​

"Our family, Aju, has been taken care of by the adults. 』

​​

"Aju...she's obviously very sensible...so I didn't cause any trouble..."

​​

"Don't be naughty, just bow to your lord with me! 』

​​

"Aju and Brother Yongji are gone, this person's favorite human figure will be given to you as a gift! 』

​​

In a trance, Sousuke Araki seemed to see that a thin middle-aged man was holding Aju's small head, bowing deeply to him together, and then he disappeared into the massive fluorescent light holding hands...

​​

After a long while, everything at the bridge head disappeared and returned to darkness again, leaving only Sousuke Araki alone.

​​

"kill!!!!"

​​

Under the cherry tree, the resentful warriors who broke through the ground again without the black hair hindering them, the terrifying sound of killing awakened the dazed Sousuke Araki.

​​

"Retake Hakodate!!!!"

​​

"Loyal soul forever..."

​​

The next second, the countless troops were run over by the black arm like a black train and shattered into a spot of light.

​​

"Hey, next, it's time to visit the righteous master in the lower city."

​​

Bending down, he picked up a "March Doll" in a black kimono from the ground and stuffed it inside his coat. Araki Sousuke strode towards the pitch-black Goryokaku without turning his head.

​​

……

​​

"Soujiro?"

​​

Outside the northeast gate of Goryokaku, Hijikata Toshizo, surrounded by a large army of samurai and fighting fiercely with Fujiwara Takukai, suddenly turned his head in disbelief and looked south.

​​

"How, how is it possible!"

​​

At that position, Chief Okita, who originally had the same origin as himself, suddenly disappeared.

​​

It was as if he had never returned.

​​

"What did you guys do to Soujiro?!!!"

​​

Ignoring Fujiwara Takumi, who folded his hands in front of him and swept the beams frantically, Hijikata Touisan flashed and ran into the city gate.

​​

"Ahahahaha, comfortable, come again!"

​​

Inside the Goryokaku Castle, Kondo Isamu, who was laughing wildly, stepped out of the main hall and rushed out toward the southwest gate again!

​​

Although he can't remember how many times he was "resurrected in place", he seemed to enjoy this kind of battle very much, and he was getting more and more excited about it.

"Asheng, have you seen Soujiro?!"

​​

The space was distorted for a while, Hijikata Toshizo appeared beside Isamu Kondo and asked eagerly.

​​

It stands to reason that as long as the "reverse pentagram" created by the Goryokaku city wall is not destroyed, Soji Okita and Isamu Kondo, who shared the power of the ghosts and gods of Hijikata Toshisan and achieved ghosts and gods, as well as the new ones under the cherry tree The soul of the selected group is an immortal existence.

​​

Isamu Kondo is the best example.

​​

"Sojiro?"

​​

Shaking his head, the fiery fighting intent in Kondo Isamu's eyes dissipated, and then he calmed down: "When you say that, you really can't feel that kid's breath..."

​​

"What disappeared at the same time was the breath of that doll."

​​

In the Hijikata Toshisan induction that was integrated with Goryokaku, the ghost and **** doll that originally stopped everyone in Goryokaku, as well as the group of black-haired and puppets surrounded by Goryokaku, and Mr. Okita His breath disappeared without a trace.

​​

"What's going on at the South Gate..."

​​

The "Deputy Chief of Ghosts" looked at Nanmen, which was silent and did not feel any energy fluctuations, with dreadful eyes.

​​

"Or, what did they encounter?"

​​

It seems that there is a giant beast that can quietly devour everything there.

​​

"What, Kondo-san, can't you get up at last?"

​​

At the same time, Mochizukiche, whose whole body was entwined with gray and red flames and whose bald head was shining brightly, had come to the outside of the city gate with a proud figure.

​​

"No matter how many times you come again, I will turn you into ashes!"

​​

Although he still looked furious as the evil spirit descended, he had numerous knife marks on his body than before, and his breath was a little breathless.

​​

Obviously, in the short period of time when the two fought, although Kondo was beheaded several times in a row, he also left him with scars that could not be easily recovered.

​​

Under this situation, the outcome between the two is still unknown.

​​

"Hmph... Ah Sui, wait for me to deal with this guy first..."

​​

Seeing that his opponent had blocked in front of the city gate and shouted, Kondo Yutora pulled out of the sheath and raised his footsteps...

​​

"Pfft."

​​

In the next second, a pitch-black crescent made of black flames came from the south gate, and passed by the two ghosts and gods silently and like lightning and flint.

​​

"Puff... puff... puff..."

​​

At the moment of passing by this pitch-black crescent moon~lightnovelpub.net~ A "great fear" that annihilated everything shrouded the heart of Hijikata Suisan, making him unable to move even as a ghost.

​​

"Be careful."

​​

When he came back to his senses, the black crescent moon had disappeared without a trace...

​​

"This is... a wooden knife?"

​​

Where the crescent moon dissipated, a wooden knife sank straight into the stone city wall.

​​

"Ah Sui."

​​

"?"

​​

Hearing an overly affectionate call from behind, Hijikata Suizan subconsciously turned around...

​​

"Asheng...you..."

​​

"I have no regrets to be able to fight side by side with you as a samurai again and sleep in the battlefield..."

​​

Appearing in front of him was Kondo Isamu, who stood proudly in place, put his sword back into its sheath, and folded his hands in his sleeves.

​​

"The son of Kanto, finally die like a son of Kanto..."

​​

"No, Asheng, we're not over yet... No..."

​​

"Feel sorry."

​​

Isamu Kondo stretched out a big, warm and bright hand, and placed it lightly on the shoulders of Tosumi Hijikata with a frantic face.

​​

"It's just that I'm going to let you go alone again..."

​​

This situation seems to have returned to the scene many years ago, before the battle of Katsunuma in Koshu, when the two parted in Edo.
