Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 21: The Lost Cat
Nearing eight o'clock in the evening, Zhai Shiqing was already waiting in front of the computer for the release of the second episode of Rurouni Kenshin.

Ever since she watched the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin three days ago, she has been troubled by the future fate of both Kenshin and the heroine.

Although the drama lacks in some aspects of texture, it does not affect her love for the drama at first sight.

She passed the time by reading a bunch of comments in the comment section. At eight o'clock, she refreshed the page and, sure enough, the paid link for the second volume of Rurouni Kenshin appeared.

Click on the second episode.

The camera continues from the rainy night of the first episode, where Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe first met at the end of the first episode.

Blood was flowing down Kenshin's face, and opposite him, Tomoe Yukishiro, who was wearing a white robe and blood-stained makeup, had a dazed look in his eyes.
She came here drunk and saw Kenshin's killing scene. Then, after seeing the blood flowing down Kenshin's cheek, she took two steps forward and fainted in Kenshin's arms.

The blood dripping from the wound on Kenshin's face that had never healed fell on Yukishiro Tomoe's face, and with the beauty of both of them, this scene was as beautiful as an art painting.

Kenshin, who was still thinking about whether or not to kill the woman in front of him if he was seen by others, now had an increasingly complicated expression.

No matter how many murders he committed, why would he kill a drunk woman?

At this moment, a hint of auntie smile flashed across Zhai Shiqing's lips.

So that's how Kenshin and the heroine met.

The following plot is somewhat routine.

Kenshin didn't have the heart to kill her, so he brought Tomoe Yukishiro back to his own assassin's base. Because of this, Tomoe Yukishiro was treated as his woman by the people in the base, and naturally stayed here to take care of some miscellaneous tasks and cooking.

The organization behind Kenshin also tried to investigate Yukishiro Tomoe's background, but in the end they only got information about the daughter of a down-and-out samurai. No one dared to drive the person Kenshin brought back away.

But Kenshin was ambushed, indicating that there is a traitor in the organization.

At this point, the second episode begins with an introduction to Kenshin's organization and the details of his and Yukishiro Tomoe's daily life.
Yukishiro Tomoe's daily routine is to work as a handyman in the base.

Kenshin's daily routine is killing people.

Sometimes he would go out in plain clothes, but return with his sword stained with blood.

Sometimes he would go out in plain clothes and come back covered in blood.

No matter what enemy Kenshin faces or what mission he undertakes, he always comes back alive.

Xue Dai Ba helped him change his clothes, and he slowly got used to having Xue Dai Ba take care of him.

[It's like living like a married couple.]

At this moment, a sentence floated by in the barrage.

Zhai Shiqing deeply agrees.

But after all, they can't really be husband and wife.

The plot changes.

Kenshin was sleeping in the room with a sword in his arms, looking handsome, peaceful and defenseless.

Four big words flashed through Zhai Shiqing's mind.

Prosperous beauty.

Tomoe Yukishiro saw this and wanted to put a scarf on Kenshin.

She came closer to Kenshin and looked at his sleeping face.

"Little kid," Yukishiro Tomoe whispered.

Zhai Shiqing could understand the meaning of Xue Dai Ba's expression.

Such a little kid was the executioner that made all the dignitaries in Kyoto turn pale at the mention of him.

Everyone only knows that there is such an assassin in Kyoto, but no one knows who he is, what age he is, or what gender he is.
Someone who has seen Kenshin kill people and survived.

Only Xue Daiba.

Only Yukishiro Tomoe knew that such an executioner was actually just a boy who had a gentle expression like a child when he fell asleep.

"Children can also kill people."

Yukishiro touched the wound on Kenshin's face, and her tone and eyes changed, becoming somewhat complicated and reluctant.

Her hand touched the scar on Kenshin's face, and Kenshin, who was sleeping like a child and was not in any danger, suddenly opened his eyes.

Like a man-eating lion, he drew his sword from its sheath and placed it against Xue Dai Tomoe's throat.
Zhai Shiqing's hand shook and she almost dropped the cup.

The scene in the drama where Kenshin draws his sword with his eyes wide open is so handsome and terrifying, it almost made Zhai Shiqing's heart pound.

Fortunately, Kenshin saw through Yukishiro Tomoe in time and stopped in time.

"I'm sorry." Kenshin looked at the scarf wrapped around him and apologized to Tomoe with his back to Yukishiro.

"Are you planning on killing people all the time?" Xue Dai Ba asked after he calmed down.

"You are the one who can't find a place to rest! You can't fall asleep without holding a knife."

Her tone was not angry, just a little distressed.

Light from outside the window shines in.

The two people facing each other are divided into two worlds.

Zhai Shiqing was completely immersed in the plot at this moment.

Did Tomoe Yukishiro know that Kenshin was the one who killed her fiancé?

If she knew about this later, would she still treat Kenshin so gently?

"I am the executioner who summons blood rain. I will not let your things be stained with blood." Kenshin returned Yukishiro Tomoe's scarf to her and his tone became calm.

【What a big pig's hoof. 】

Zhai Shiqing couldn't help it and directly posted a barrage of complaints. She is really single because of her strength.

Xueshiro Tomoe took the scarf, and his eyes made it increasingly difficult to tell what he was thinking.

He turned around and prepared to leave the house.

behind
"Thank you, Ms. Ba."

Kenshin's voice rang out.

At this moment, Zhai Shiqing's heart was excited again.

It seems that Kenshin still has some sweet words sometimes!

Although there haven’t been many fights in this episode so far, the daily lives and emotional developments of Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin are more interesting to Zhai Shiqing than in the first episode.

The organization behind Kenshin knows that someone wants to cause unrest in Kyoto, and reminds Kenshin to take his close ones away if necessary.

That night, Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe sat opposite each other and drank.

"Has the bleeding on your face stopped?"

"forget."

"That means the wound has healed."

"It's just that the bleeding has stopped."

"When I saw the wound, I wondered what was going through the mind of the person you killed."

Zhai Shiqing felt a little heartache at this moment.

Kiyosato was killed by Kenshin, and left this wound to Kenshin. Before he died.
I was thinking of Yukishiro Tomoe!
I regret coming to Kyoto.

I regret the idea of ​​marrying you just to become successful, and in the end you are left alone.

And now, Tomoe Yukishiro was sitting with Kenshin, the man who killed her fiancé, drinking and talking about such things.

The sense of fatalism and irony is at its peak at this moment.

"Although you say that killing is for the happiness of the people, I don't think there is happiness in this world that can be gained by killing." Yukishiro Tomoe stared at Kenshin with his clear eyes.

"I'm not killing indiscriminately." Kenshin picked up the wine glass.

"That is to say, you are evaluating how much survival value the other party still has. And you, even let others do this, just following the instructions of the people above."

The conversation between Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin reveals the gap in their philosophies.

Is anyone wrong?
Zhai Shiqing was silent.

A good drama always makes people think deeply.

An impressive heroine will never be limited to trivial love affairs.

Yukishiro Tomoe realized that it would not work for Kenshin to continue like this.

In just two episodes, the characters of Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe were fully established.

Just like the title of the second episode, "Lost Cat".

Because her fiancé was murdered, Tomoe Yukishiro came to Kyoto alone and relied on alcohol to forget her troubles, and then she met the executioner Kenshin.

Kenshin's ideal of saving the suffering people also deviated from the path due to the constant killing.

Both of them are lost cats on the road of life.

Next comes the climax of the second episode.

The entire Shinsengumi went out to search for the hideout of Kenshin and his gang of assassins in Kyoto, ready to kill them all.

Kenshin held onto Tomoe's wrist with one hand and held the blade with the other, and even in the face of the life-and-death danger of being besieged by the Shinsengumi, he did not let go of Tomoe.

Kenshin chopped the melons and vegetables along the way, like a killing god, roaring and pulling Yukishiro Tomoe towards the outside of Kyoto.
This fight scene is even more amazing than the one in the first episode, and it is even more touching than Zhai Shiqing in the first episode.

If he wanted to leave, he could just abandon Xue Dai Ba, and no one could stop him.

But he was besieged by dozens of people and did not abandon Xue Daiba.

At the end of the story, Kenshin and Tomoe Yukishiro broke out of the encirclement of the Shinsengumi.

"Let's go to Otsu, where we can hide as husband and wife."

Kenshin said this to Yukishiro Tomoe.

But when Kenshin turned around, Yukishiro Tomoe looked at Kenshin's back and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.

The ending song plays.

Zhai Shiqing looked a little confused.

What does the last picture mean?
Yukishiro Tomoe wants to kill Kenshin?

why?
Zhai Shiqing could only think of one possibility.

unless
She found out that Kenshin was the murderer who killed her fiancé Kiyosato.

shit
Figure this out.

Zhai Shiqing became nervous.

Is this drama going to end in tragedy?

Given Kenshin's character and strength, if Yukishiro Tomoe really wanted to kill him, he would be seeking death.

Also, why is it interrupted here? What’s wrong with the screenwriter?
