With the sound of the scabbard landing, the showdown between the two warriors began.

Neither of them used their own skills, but simply sprinted and slashed.

The sword blades come into contact with each other and make a crisp buzzing sound.

"This level of strength..." Okina didn't think of more confrontation, Zuocun's strength was greater than his.

The two have their own advantages and disadvantages. Zuocun is a little older and is already seventeen years old. He has a bigger strength than Okita and his height advantage is also very good.

Okita is more flexible. Although he is only thirteen years old, he has been learning Kendo much longer than Zuocun.

The swords were divided, and the two of them had extremely fast swords, and frequent and rapid interceptions sounded.

After trying to fight for a while, the two found that neither of them could take the lead, so they separated and looked for opportunities.

Zuocun is stronger and Okita is faster.

Okita chooses to move first.

He used it to shrink, and Longma, who was watching the battle, his pupils shrank.

He has never understood the principle of Okita's shrinking ground and Zuocun's stagnation.

From the appearance, the two people are indeed humans? And Miss Aaron has also confirmed that the two people should not be monsters.

Longma once doubted whether Zuocun was a monster turned into by a frog...

Zuocun was always guarding against Okada's shrinking thorns, jumped on the spot, turned over in the air, avoided Okada's thorns, and then waved a crane toward Okada's back neck.

Okita quickly turned around, took the knife, and retreated.

Zuocun jumped up and stood on the tree.

The two looked at each other.

Suddenly, they sighed involuntarily.

Okita picked up his scabbard, and Zuocun also came down from the tree.

"Why don't you fight?" Longma wanted to observe for a while, shrinking to the ground or stagnating in the air.

Miss Aaron was hanging on the tree behind and was almost asleep.

"If I continue to fight like this, Zuocun and I can't decide the winner for ten days." Miss Okita inserted her knife back into the scabbard and smiled.

"And if we use greater strength, neither of us will be able to stop. We... have not reached that level yet. If we both take all our strength, it is possible to be injured, or even kill the other party by one." Zuocun just found his scabbard.

The previous scabbard was damaged during the battle. Now the scabbard of Shizuki was given to Zuocun by the city lord who was familiar with Maki Sayu.

This scabbard is half black and half white, like the wings of a crane, which is in line with the name of a knife.

Because of this Kurokawa Mountain Tenyin Ghost Incident, it is not only famous as the hero "Feather Ghost Slayer" Zuomura Annuo, who attacks evil ghosts, but also the knife he holds.

The famous sword, Crane, which was made into all its futures by the contemporary Shui Xinzi and Shui Xinzi, attracted countless people's awe or worship, like its owner, the Feather Ghost Sword.

In addition, before leaving, the city lord also expressed something to Zuocun in obscurely.

The contemporary emperor wants to meet Zuocun.

Zuocun did not answer immediately, but avoided the topic.

The shogunate is incompetent, but does the emperor must be capable?

Zuocun was thinking about this issue.

At this time, the shogunate was incapable of being exposed to the Japanese people and in front of the world, which undoubtedly became an obstacle to Japan's progress, but how to change the status quo is both Zuomura and Ryuma were thinking about.

The two of them once asked Okina what he thought.

Okina said with a smile: "Since the shogunate is incompetent, wouldn't it be better to make it capable?"

Neither Zuocun nor Ryuma responded immediately.

but......

Is there any value and possibility of saving a tree that is about to die of illness?

......

"After that being said, I've been out for more than half a year, so it's time to go back." Okita glanced at Zuocun.

"Oh? Chongtian, are you going back?" Longma was a little surprised.

"Well, if you don't go back, Master will scold me." Kotoshi scratched his head with a smile.

"...I'll go back with you, Okita." Zuomura thought for a moment and said actively.

"Hmm! Really! Zuomura, are you going to go back to Edo with me?" Miss Okina said excitedly.

She couldn't believe that Zuocun, who could not even say a few nonsense, would take the initiative to ask to go back to Edo with her.

"Yes." Zuocun nodded, "I want to try out the bathroom. I have been living in such a long time, so I want to take a break."

"Yeah!" Okina Toshita made a cheering gesture, then patted Zuomura on the shoulder, "Then let's go now!"

"Sakamoto, are you going to be together?" Zuomura looked at the calm and humorous man.

"Well, what I said... Although Edo is my final destination, I still want to go back to Tosa first." Ryuma smiled and hammered Zuomura's upper arm, "But then again, you have finally grown a little!"

"What's going on?" Zuocun asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. Since you are going to Edo and I am going to go back to Tosa, then, let's part ways here."

Longma looked into Zuocun's eyes: "Zuocun, I'm very happy to meet a friend like you. I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Well, Sakamoto, don't forget me when you return to your hometown. If you return to Edo soon, come to the test guard room outside the city to find me."

The two of them cried together, laughing at the same time.

"Two idiots..." Miss Aaron and Okita stood together, hugged their chests, and looked helplessly at the two people who were obviously adults but smiled like little boys.

"Then, take care of yourself all the way, Sakamoto."

"Take care too, Zuocun."

"Sure enough, with Miss Along around Longma, Longma will definitely be fine. Although Longma is a fool and has poor strength, Miss Along will definitely protect Longma well!" Miss Along said with a smile.

"Oh? Miss Aaron, is the idiot..."

"Rongma is a good boy, shut up."

Zuomura and Okita looked at each other and smiled.

With Miss Aaron here, Longma really doesn't have to worry.

Zuomura Anno and Okina General Headquarters headed to the northeast, while Ryuma and Miss Aaron left to the southwest.

......

Serizawa duck sat on the big rock on the top of the mountain, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

"New See, I've got the answer."

"This country is no longer saved! No matter how much you save it, you will only get ruins!"

Serizawa duck looked at the roaring waves at the foot of the mountain, calmly said to Shinmijin and his friends.

“…What are you going to do?”

“…find a way to join the shogunate.”

"Train the shogunate to destruction."

"Then, a new country was built up on the ruins of destruction."

"If the courage to rebuild is not destroyed...then this country will definitely take the wrong path!"
