The Last Samurai of Tennis Shinsengumi

Chapter 26 Preparations before the game

"Sasaki, where's Saitoichi?" The second doubles match had just begun, but His Highness Matsudaira found that Saitoichi was missing from the stand, and couldn't help asking Sasaki, who was always on the left and right.Without waiting for Sasaki's answer, Matsudaira Sadaka said first, "When I passed by the practice field just now, I saw him practicing and crouching for the battle. Hmph, it seems that Qingxue has no hope."

Hearing Ding Jing's sarcasm, His Highness Matsudaira smiled slightly, suddenly became interested, and waved to Sasaki, "If you want to practice, then I will help him too!"

"Yi-kun, you're obviously stealing the scene!" It's not in line with the chief executive's style to have a good show and not get involved, "Kondo-san's side is really exciting, if the old man knows that you are here to steal the spotlight , you might lose your motivation!"

Saito looked at the more and more people gathered around him in confusion, feeling a little overwhelmed.Sweat was dripping down the drenched clothes. He just wanted to practice the ball before the game. He didn't expect to gather so many eyes. The racket that was disconnected because it couldn't bear the strong force in the museum, although it was worn again line, but the control of that force has not reached the point of arbitrary.

Afterwards, the uncle of the Ice Emperor rushed forward, and then sat leisurely on the bench by the side of the field, directing everyone to fight him.Not only did all the people returning to the team arrive at the scene, His Highness Matsudaira's strong appeal also attracted many other team members.Wave after wave of attacks had all been resolved, and Saito realized that His Highness Matsudaira's intention was not to defeat him, but to teach him the essentials of their martial arts.

"There is only so much we can do, and then it depends on how much you can comprehend." Almost everyone said to him like this.

"Why did you do this?" Saito asked more than once.The answers are all kinds of strange, what makes the game more interesting, what makes him vulnerable, in short, it is unanimously optimistic that Takasugi will win.But Saito has always been the type who is not moved by external objects, no matter what others say, he just needs to be himself.

"If you grind your guns before the battle, you can't defeat Takasugi!" A deep and majestic voice sounded from behind, and Saito immediately felt a strong sense of oppression.Since accepting the power of the holy sword, Saito's feelings towards ghosts have obviously become more acute.

"Gui!" Saito stood on the spot with his back to Gui, fully alert.Turning around at this moment will definitely leave a flaw, and facing an opponent like Gui, even the slightest flaw is fatal.

"I really didn't expect you to deal with Takasugi! Maybe you didn't plan to reach this point at all, right? This is the planned score if you lose [-] to [-]?" Gui said and walked in front of Saito.

"You're wrong!" Seeing that Gui didn't have any malicious intentions, Saito also relaxed his guard, "This match between me and Takasugi has long been inevitable." He raised the racket in his hand, and he believed that Gui could definitely feel that feeling unusual strength.

"So that's it! Then come and catch me!" Gui's eyes flashed with astonishment, then he pulled out his tennis racket, stood still on the court, bent his knees slightly, and assumed the posture of "Fenglin Volcano Yin Thunder" launching , True Qi meanders and flows on the racket.

Saito looked at him in disbelief, secretly thinking about Gui's real purpose, but found nothing.It is impossible to teach moves, but it seems that if you want to defeat him, you shouldn't be in a hurry. It is more like his style to defeat yourself in the arena.

"Be careful, Hajime!" Accompanied by the yell of the chief executive, Gui's tennis ball was already in sight, the strange and erratic movements, and the oppressive feeling coming from the sky, just like in the match between him and Hijikata-san. Feeling at the time, Saito did not dare to take it lightly, and used all his strength to meet the ball.A strong electric current spreads from the beat to the whole body, travels along every nerve of the body, winds along every blood vessel, and even the fingertips feel numb, and the brain hit by the current instantly appears a black screen, abnormal The strange screams of the undead shook the eardrums.

"Ah~!" Saito yelled, kneeling on the ground with trembling knees, the voices of dying savages came through time and space, and merged into a cry of despair in his mind; the bloody smoke of killing surrounded the general The soul is dragged into the dark abyss.The sudden power circulates in the body, conflicts, explores, adapts, and then slowly integrates with this body.

"Gui, what you've done is too rough!" The director scolded Gui, and hurried to Saito to check his situation.

"Rough?" Gui was very disdainful of the chief executive's benevolence, "Is this what you should do? As a human being, even if he inherited that power, he couldn't cross the boundary between humans and ghosts, and put that This power can be used at will. And you are still hesitating at the last moment whether to break this level for him!"

"I want you to take care of my affairs!" The chief executive replied unconvinced.But what Gui said was right, he couldn't make up his mind to let Saito bear all this. At this time, the desire of the resentful spirit will echo with despair in the bottom of my heart. "Are you okay? Yijun."

"Well, it's okay." Saito stood up slowly, and the light invisible to the naked eye radiated around his body. After struggling and tossing in his body, that force finally fell silent. The desperate cries gradually subsided, deep and The warm breath slowly infiltrated every corner of the body, like a gurgling stream flowing slowly, with simple and beautiful feelings of longing, love and blessing, flowing into a boundless sea.Holding Saito's hand, the chief executive also felt the change in that power. "It seems to be purified by something." The director said, "I don't know why I have the urge to cry!"

"If you cry, wait until the game is over!" His Highness Matsudaira snapped his fingers to attract all the attention, "I just got the news that the game over there is over, [-] to [-], Kondo and the others won! "

Gui was not surprised when he heard it, as if this was what he had expected.

"Why did you do this, Gui?" Saito asked puzzled, if he couldn't freely control this power and lost the game, wouldn't it just be possible to fulfill their long-cherished wish?

"Because I don't want to owe the earthwork a favor!" Gui replied coldly. In the match against the earthwork, the earthwork had a chance to completely crush him at the moment when he went berserk. Excessive use of tricks overloaded his body. Just one more blow would be enough to cause severe damage to his current body, and Hijikata should have felt it at that moment, but he didn't do that.Even if the desire to protect the chief is so strong, even if he is on the verge of going berserk, he will not easily hurt others. When he realizes that, he knows that he has completely lost. "Don't think that you can defeat Takasugi in this way, that person will not be defeated by humans."

"Although I don't agree with your words, thank you anyway." Saito said with some reservations, arguing about the difference between humans and ghosts is meaningless, let's use the victory or defeat to explain everything.

"Why did you do this?" This time Saito asked His Highness Matsudaira.

"Because we are on the united front." His Highness Songping said calmly, but the bottomless eyes and the special smile on his face seemed to hide a lot of thoughts.

Hearing the sound of the referee announcing the start of the game, Saito didn't have time to ask more questions, and hurried straight to the field with the chief executive.

"You guys go to the ball too!" His Royal Highness Songping said, "I want to be alone." Seeing everyone walking away, Songping Rongbao fell into deep thought with his hand on his forehead. Clearly remembering that stunning face, the person also called Takasugi has a calm face that does not match his age, and the words that spit out from those thin lips are enough to shock the world.

"The previous Great Kanto Earthquake was the result of the combination of two swords..." Takasugi said.The bottle in his hand was shaking with bright red liquid, and his lips were slightly raised and a very charming smile appeared, "This is made of the holy tree Xueying of the ghost clan, which can turn human beings into incredible creatures, but in order to adapt Human physique still needs some special improvements..."

"Is it really because we are standing on the united front, or is it because you have a guilty conscience?" A gentle voice came from the empty practice field, but behind the gentleness on the surface was an imperceptible murderous intent.His Highness Matsudaira raised his head to follow the prestige, but standing in front of him were Shannan and Yamazaki who had just lost in the competition not long ago.

"Have a guilty conscience? Why do you say that?" His Highness Songping smiled very calmly.

"You were the ones who caused the murder of the ghost clan. How dare you say that you have a clear conscience?" Shannan asked sharply.

His Highness Matsudaira nodded, and did not deny what Shannan said, but just smiled, "When you stand in my position one day, you will understand that some things must be done even if you know they are wrong, and they are related to the entire shogunate. Anwei, I have no other choice. Not to mention guilt, but a little bit sorry."

"Then please take an apology attitude, only you can resolve this enmity."

His Highness Songping was silent for a few minutes, the noisy wind seemed to come through time and space, bringing the uneasy atmosphere of that era, taking a deep breath, the sound of gold and iron clanging spread from the depths of memory.At that time, his choice was not wrong.Everything has to be viewed from a certain standpoint. The right choice does not mean that the thing is right. If it can really resolve the dispute between the two groups of people, he doesn't mind restoring the truth. "The truth is not always easy for people to accept, it's just that they don't know if they are prepared for it."

"You don't need to worry about this."
