Chapter 12
Chapter 12
Regarding the things that happened before, Izumi Mori Kanesada has never thought that he was at fault. Since he appeared in this Honmaru, the god judge told him that the mission of Touken Men is to protect history. He also believes that it is wrong to consider redundant human emotions. wrong.
However, looking at Kunihiro who always smiles, is gentle to everyone, and whose eyes are always shining, he has an inexplicable guilt.
"Uh, Kunihiro, what do you want to ask?"
"Don't be so nervous," Horikawa Kunihiro looked at Izumi Mori Kanesada who was sitting upright as if listening to the leader's lecture, and wanted to laugh a little. "I just asked a few random questions."
"Ah? Well, I'm not nervous." Izumi Mori Kanesada lied, he was indeed nervous, although he didn't know why he was nervous, in front of Horikawa Kunihiro, he always had different opinions, no matter which Kunihiro it was.
"I want to know more about Horikawa Kunihiro from Honmaru."
"Kunihiro..." Izumi Mori Kanesada didn't know how to describe his Kunihiro, he suddenly realized that he didn't know Kunihiro well, even though they had the same original owner, they had been together for so many years.
Horikawa Kunihiro saw the confusion of Izumi Mori Kanesada, and he further guided him to answer, "What kind of person is he? Or what is the difference between me and him?"
What kind of person is Kunihiro?
Thinking back carefully, Izumi Mori Kanesada felt that Kunihiro was too kind, always thinking of others, too gentle and careful, not like a cold weapon.
His emotions are too delicate, just like human beings.
Izumi Mamoru Kanesada himself often thinks about a lot of things, and he even gets into a dead end. He wonders whether he has completed the task assigned by the god judge, whether he has protected his teammates well, and whether the turbulent feelings in his heart when he saw Mr. Hijikata were correct... ...but has been ignoring Kunihiro's feelings.
"Kuohiro doesn't like to laugh, he's always very melancholy." He was very cheerful when he played for the first time.
"He cared too much about our original master." Because I love Mr. Hijikata very much, and I miss Mr. Hijikata very much.
"He loves to cry a lot." But I didn't comfort him at that time.
"Ah, that—" Horikawa Kunihiro wanted to ask if you have misunderstood "Horikawa Kunihiro". I mean, after all, he's another me..."
"Indeed, because something happened."
"Ok?"
"Our philosophies are different." Izumi Mori Kanesada chose to avoid the important ones.
"so?"
Izumi Mori Kanesada thought about it seriously. Although he felt that something was wrong with him, he still refused to admit it, especially in front of Horikawa Kunihiro. with us."
Horikawa Kunihiro's smile gradually froze. It seems that Mr. Kane couldn't find any useful information. He didn't doubt the relationship between "Izumi Mamoru Kanesada" and "Horikawa Kunihiro" in this maru, but obviously, the relationship between them What went wrong with the communication.
What I think in my heart is different from what I say and do, and I am not always so frank.
"Mr. Tsurumaru! Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course, what do you want to ask?"
"About Horikawa Kunihiro of your Honmaru."
"Mr. Yaoken! Excuse me, can I ask you some questions?"
"About Horikawa, or Izumi Mamoru? Well, I can tell you everything I know."
"Thank you so much!"
"Mr. Tonbogiri, excuse me, I have something to ask you, is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, by the way, do you want to eat Daifuku together?"
"Ah, thank you."
"Mr. Mutsumori, are you busy? Can I ask you something?"
"Horikawa, I guess you want to ask about our Honmaru's Horikawa Kunihiro?"
"Well, you guessed it right."
After interviewing and investigating other members of the second unit, Kunihiro Horikawa basically sorted out what happened before, which changed the character of Kunihiro Horikawa in this maru.
Kunihiro Horikawa from Honmaru came later than Kane-san and was a rookie. The Kane-san who brought him back then was actually a rookie with only a handful of appearances.
For the first time, there were only Izumi Mamoru Kanesada and Horikawa Kunihiro, but when they encountered difficulties, the god judges temporarily dispatched Yaken Toshiro, Dragonfly Kiri and Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki, and later transferred the more experienced Tsuru Marukunaga.
As a rookie, Horikawa Kunihiro's combat effectiveness in the team is not high, and he has been under a lot of pressure, but he also works very hard. He is excellent in sneaking investigations and adjusting teammate relationships, and has helped Izumi Mamoru a lot.
Horikawa Kunihiro is very kind, and he has more sympathy for human beings than other sword men. He has different views on protecting history and obeying the orders of the god judges, which led to differences between him and Izumi Mori Kanesada from the beginning, but he chose to believe Mr. Kanehiro, Obey and Mr.
However, everything exploded after meeting Mr. Hijikata.
Izumi Mamoru Kanesada faced Horikawa Kunihiro with a sword, but still failed to stop Horikawa Kunihiro from leaving.
Both the judge and his teammates understood Horikawa Kunihiro's intentions and why he chose to leave.
But Izumi Mori Kanesada didn't understand, or he was pretending to be stupid.
He is neither willing to admit his feelings for Mr. Hichikata, nor to face Horikawa Kunihiro's feelings for him.
Then they traveled to Hakodate three years later with the God Judge, while Horikawa Kunihiro stayed alone in that era, and joined the Shinsengumi to accompany Mr. Dojikata.
In the final battle, Kunihiro Horikawa chose to return to his teammates to fight against the time-traveling army together. He won the victory, guarded the history, and once again watched Mr. Hijikata die in front of him.
This Honmaru is really weird.
Horikawa Kunihiro felt that they made a very simple thing very complicated.
Possessing a human body and getting the chance to travel through time to reunite with the master, no matter who it is, it will be shaken.
In my own Honmaru, missing the original owner is completely daily. Whether it is the first to come to Honmaru to cut Hasebe and Imaiken, or the latecomer to Fudo Yukimitsu, as well as my companions from the Shinsengumi, everyone is still deeply attached to themselves. Former owner.
After all, it is because of the original owner that the current sword man exists, and the bond in it is impossible to cut off no matter what.
If there is any power to bring the sword man who misses the original owner back to this maru, it is probably the love for his companions, his master, and his current life. The warmth of this maru makes people feel a sense of belonging, like home.
Horikawa Kunihiro didn't know what method Kiyomitsu used to bring An Ding back that day, but he was sure that whether it was himself and Mr. Kane or Mr. Nagasoni and Mr. Mutsu Mori, everyone believed in An Ding, Kiyomitsu, and They will definitely be back.
Because everyone in Honmaru is waiting for us.
But these ideas, if you tell Mr. Kan directly, it will definitely not work. The brain circuit of Mr. Kan in Honmaru is different from that of Mr. Kan.
Horikawa Kunihiro knew from the previous communication that this Mr. Kanae was too stubborn, and he had to use some special methods to get him enlightened.
"Mr. Jian! Please join hands with me!"
"what?"
"is it not OK?"
"Yes, yes..." Izumi Mamoru Kanesada did not refuse Horikawa Kunihiro's request, but he felt that he might not be able to beat this experienced lv91 Kunihiro who was good at sneak attacks and assassinations.
The ending was a disastrous defeat as expected, and perhaps Kunihiro showed mercy, which made Izumi Mori Kanesada sigh. Compared with the head-to-head confrontation with Odachi, Wakizashi, who is so flexible that people can't even touch it, seems to be more difficult to deal with. A few more slashes from the opponent you get will always cause some damage, and the opponent you can't fight in the battle will always be the only one who gets beaten.
When Horikawa Kunihiro moved around behind him nimbly, and the blade of the wooden sword touched his neck, Izumi Mori Kanesada was convinced of the defeat, and honestly put down the wooden sword.
"Mr. Kan, what would you do if you encountered an enemy you couldn't defeat?"
"Of course it is to work harder to improve yourself."
Horikawa Kunihiro saw that Izumi Mori Kanesada still refused to follow his routine, so he had to add another condition, "If I work harder, there is no way? And the situation is very urgent!"
"This one……"
"If it were me, I would definitely seek help from my companions."
"Well, companions are very important."
"Have you ever tried to cooperate with your Horikawa Kunihiro?"
Izumi Mori Kanesada seriously recalled it, then shook his head, "What kind of cooperation?"
"Two swords open your eyes."
"What is opening eyes? What is that?" Izumi Mori Kanesada has never heard of it. Although the sword and Wakizashi are indeed used together, since he became Fusangshin, he has been fighting independently.
"The joint skill of Hito and Wakizashi." Kunihiro Horikawa laughed, his beautiful blue eyes sparkling, "My Kane-san and I often use it in battles, which requires the tacit cooperation of the two knives and the unity of mind and mind. resonates in the soul..."
Izumi Mori Kanesada looked even more confused, as if Horikawa Kunihiro was telling a ghost story.
"Ah, what I said is a bit complicated." Kunihiro Horikawa scratched his hair. He wanted to make the Honmaru "Izumi Mori Kanesada" and "Kunihiro Horikawa" more intimate through Mr. Kakan's two swords. There will be many fewer obstacles, but he has forgotten that he and his husband are born with the ability to open eyes without a teacher, so it is a bit mysterious to talk about it.
Horikawa Kunihiro decided that it would be better to start practicing directly. He took his own body and asked Izumi Mori Kanesada to also bring his body and stand in front of a dummy for practice.
"It's not difficult for you to imagine me as your Kunihiro, after all, we look exactly the same."
"Hmm..." Izumi Mori Kanesada stared at Horikawa Kunihiro for a long time, and said embarrassedly, "Kunihiro, can you stop laughing?"
"Huh? Am I laughing?"
"You look happy all the time."
"Hahaha, because I'm facing Mr. Kane, I can't restrain the joy in my heart."
But your love that is almost overflowing is not for me, Izumi Mori Kanesada is roaring in his heart: Kunihiro, how much do you like that "Izumi Mori Kanesada"!
"In this way, I can't think of you as him."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me think about it..." Horikawa Kunihiro felt that his acting skills were still good. He recalled what Mr. Tsurumaru and the others said, and brought himself into the role of Horikawa Kunihiro, thinking silently: Mr. Kanehiro He didn't understand me, I quarreled with him, and he cut me off, and I went to Mr. Hijikata's side for three years by myself.
Thinking about it, Horikawa Kunihiro withdrew his smile, and the brilliance in his eyes dimmed. He lowered his head expressionlessly, with a sad emotion exuding from his body, and a trace of mist spread from his eyes.
Izumi Mori Kanesada was shocked, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. In just a few seconds, this Kunihiro changed completely, becoming exactly like his Kunihiro.
Of course, this is not a change to be proud of. Izumi Mori Kanesada thinks that it is better for Kunihiro to keep smiling gently.
"Is this okay?" Horikawa Kunihiro's tone was not as cheerful as usual, but flat and without any emotion.
"...Yes." Izumi Mori Kanesada felt a little stuffy in his chest, very uncomfortable, he didn't know what was wrong with him.
"Imagine, this is our common enemy." Kunihiro Horikawa moved closer, "Feel my breath and heartbeat."
"Ah."
"Your enemy is my enemy, and your master is also my master. We fight side by side, and share life and death. I am willing to give everything for you, even my life."
Izumi Mori Kanesada heard the beating of his heart, and it was beating very fast.
But he didn't know if it was his own heartbeat or Kunihiro's.
"Let's defeat it together, with our common strength."
The two knives swung almost at the same time, and the sharp blades slashed at the innocent and poor dummy.
"Hey, that's probably what it looks like! This is Erdao Kaiyan!" When Kunihiro Horikawa looked at Izumi Mori Kanesada again, his smile had resumed, "How is it? Mr. Kanesada!"
Izumi Mori Kanesada suddenly dropped the body and hugged Horikawa Kunihiro.
"I'm sorry, don't cry anymore."
"I didn't cry?"
"Kunihiro, I like the way you smile."
"No, wait! Mr. Kanesada, I think it's better for you to tell him these words yourself." Horikawa Kunihiro pushed him away and hugged him tightly, as if afraid of him running away, Izumi Mori Kanesada felt a little regretful I acted too much like myself, which caused Mr. Jian to get too deep into the play.
"Ah, Kunihiro, I, I..." Izumi Mori Kanesada finally came to his senses, flustered, not knowing how to explain his behavior just now.
"You love Hijikata-san, and you also love your Kunihiro." Horikawa Kunihiro poked Izumi Mori Kanesada lightly on the chest, "Don't deny it, the handsome and powerful Kanehiro shouldn't be so duplicity, right?"
Izumi Mori Kanesada didn't deny it again. Kunihiro Horikawa was right. He loved Mr. Dojikata as well as Kunihiro, and he also wanted to do many things other than obey the order of the god judge. He didn't like the cold Honmaru at all. I even want to fly a kite with Kunihiro!
But... He looked at the smiling eyes of Kunihiro in front of him, and thought of his own Kunihiro's desperate and suppressed cry.
Izumi Mori Kanesada felt distressed, especially painful.
It would be great if I could wipe away the tears for Guohiro at that time, and then hug him, no matter how bad it is, it’s okay to cry with him.
He must be very disappointed, do I still have a chance to see his smile?
Izumi Mori Kanesada raised a question that he thought was very serious and worthy of consideration: "If the same thing happened to you and your Mr. Kanesada, would you forgive him?"
"That's impossible!" Kunihiro Horikawa couldn't hold back, and directly overturned Izumi Mori Kanesada's unrealistic assumption, "My Mr. Kanesada said that he would never leave me alone! We understand each other very well. I respect and like each other very much, it is impossible for this to happen.”
Izumi Mori Kanesada didn't speak, he didn't know what else he could say, he felt that he still underestimated the "Horikawa Kunihiro"'s liking for "Mr. Kanehiro".
This makes Izumi Mori Kanesada a little sad. His own Kunihiro may not like "Mr. Kanehiro" that much, because he not only failed to understand Kunihiro's mood, but also left Kunihiro alone.
Seeing Izumi Mori Kanesada's dejected look, Horikawa Kunihiro still comforted him, "Don't give up yet, he must still love you."
"you sure?"
"I promise, Horikawa Kunihiro will always love Izumi Mori Kanesada!"
