"How long can I live here?"

In the corridor glowing with cold moonlight, the girl looked at the moonlight on the horizon and asked softly.

…at that time…my answer was…

Himura Kenshin looked at the long sword in his hand in confusion. The blade was like the moonlight, reflecting his eyes that had long lost focus.

…bar…

Following the footprints on the snow and walking deep into the mountain, Kenshin held the long sword in one hand and took out the shawl in the other. He was like a doll, only knowing how to move forward mechanically.

In the enchanted forest.

The black-clothed ninja who had been ambush for a long time saw the target coming from the mountain road, so he picked up a pile of snow from the ground, stuffed it into his mouth, lowered his breath to reveal his position, and at the same time forced himself to calm down and deal with the situation at hand.

This tough assassin.

He is the first line of defense in the enchanted forest. He has been planning for several years, so he must not allow failure!

The assassination begins.

A shadow quickly passed behind the sword's heart.

Murderous intent permeated the air.

Kenshin's reaction was obviously a little slower than usual. When the black-clothed ninja was approaching, he turned around and waved his sword to resist.

There was a buzzing sound of "Zheng".

A smile appeared on the black-clothed ninja's face.

Although he realized that the executioner Battousai was not in good condition, he did not choose to confront him immediately. He dodged and jumped several meters away.

He waved his arm, and the sleeve arrow suddenly pierced into Kenshin's right shoulder with a sound of breaking through the air.

Such a smooth situation made the ninja in black convinced once again that Kenshin's condition was indeed very bad, and Hira, the feared executioner, was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered at this moment.

"Whoosh——"

Sharp objects cut through the air.

The black-clothed ninja ran forward with the sharp weapon, drew out the long knife from his waist, and was about to strike.

The sword flashed.

Blood gushed out from his mouth and dripped on the snow.

...how long has this kind of thing been going on...

Kenshin's face didn't change at all, he just pulled out the long sword indifferently.

'…Failed…'

Life continues to flow from the black-clothed ninja, and soon, he will become one with the vast snow-capped mountains.

'But... before that... at least...'

The blood trail formed a long straight line.

The black-clothed ninja held his knife and walked forward step by step.

"boom."

There was a muffled sound.

The black-clothed ninja fell on the snow, clutching the rope hidden under the snow.

The reason why the enchantment forest is called the enchantment forest.

It's because these ninjas are also part of the barrier.

Pull the rope.

Tears flowed from the eyes of the black-clothed ninja.

'…Feel sorry…'

The explosion swept across the sky and exploded with snowflakes.

When Kenshin walked out of the snow mist again, the blood seeping from his ears had already flowed down his neck.

Hearing is gradually being lost.

Kenshin gasped for air and continued to follow the footsteps.

It just didn't take long.

A figure blocked the front.

The ninja holding the giant ax did not hesitate at all. After assuming a posture, he rushed towards Kenshin.

There is only one purpose...

Kill the executioner Battosai!

After a fight, there was another ninja lurking here, who quietly attacked and severely wounded Kenshin.

Two ninjas.

One is in the light and the other is in the dark.

If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have died in this enchanted forest long ago.

But the sword heart at this moment.

There is still one obsession left in my mind.

"…bar…"

Just when two ninjas surrounded Kenshin and were about to kill him.

Kenshin quickly pulled out another slightly shorter wakizashi sword from his waist, and relied on instinct to pierce the two attacking ninjas one after the other.

Ninja is a barrier.

If he dies, he should naturally turn into a barrier.

The giant ax ninja, who had long since awakened, endured the pain of having his throat pierced and pulled the chain on the ground.

The explosion sounded again.

Looking at the dazzling light in front of him, Kenshin murmured to himself.

"…bar…"

I don't know when it started to snow.

Outside the snow-filled forest, a figure was moving forward step by step.

The bloodstains and footprints almost overlap.

Holding a knife in one hand and using a shawl to stop the wound on his right shoulder in the other, Kenshin raised his head and looked into the distance with his remaining right eye, which had blurred vision.

And his left eye had already temporarily lost vision due to the dazzling light produced by the explosion just now.

Intuition… Hearing… Vision…

The five senses and even the sixth sense will be continuously weakened here.

This is the real purpose of Annotake setting up this barrier forest.

"boom."

Kenshin, covered in scars, fell into the snow.

The cold wind carried fine snow and fell.

In this forest, there is only one belief that keeps Kenshin moving forward.

"…bar…"

Can't fall here...

Ba, still waiting for me in front...

You absolutely cannot fall here!

Off camera.

"well."

Higu Seijuro looked at Shinta slowly getting up from the snow holding his sword, and sighed heavily.

In order not to affect the performance of Shinta's scene, Emiya specifically requested that everyone, except for a few photographers who needed to take photos, should stay ten meters away from the set.

But even standing so far away, as soon as they saw the scene in the story of Kenshin slowly getting up from the snow while holding the sword with difficulty, everyone was silent for a while.

The young people who were warned by the "old man" in the crew at the beginning finally understood what it means to feel as uncomfortable as suffocation.

The resentment that you want to vent but can't, all piles up in your mouth, and no one will feel better.

In front of the monitor.

Emiya watched the picture on the monitor extremely seriously.
