Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

But the bold guy in front of him stopped in time this time before he exploded.After leaning forward for that sudden kiss, she straightened up quickly again, even put her hands behind her back, and just looked at him with shining eyes-in his opinion, that expression was really lacking in fighting The tension you should have had before!It's so relaxing!

He was about to yell at her a few more words like "Correct your attitude and get serious" when he heard her speak.

Unexpectedly, her tone was full of solemn emotions.

"Mr. Hijikata..." She whispered out the name that had been unknown for almost ten years, paused, and took a deep breath.

Earthwork: "...what?"

She paused so long that he had to answer.

He thought what earth-shattering words she would say, and he was secretly prepared; but in the end, she opened her mouth, but said something that surprised him—familiar lines.

"...Don't die. Come back alive." She said clearly.

Hijikata: "...that's what I want to say!"

hateful!Who is the party that is about to lose?Can you have a clear understanding of your current situation?

Then, she let out a chuckle and laughed softly, as if she was very happy; however, the eyes she stared at him were bottomless, and the color of joy did not project into her eyes.

"...I'm going back." After a short laugh, she nodded slightly towards him, as if saying goodbye.

"Goodbye, Mr. Hijikata," she said.

Earthwork: "..."

Although rationality warned him that the length of this kind of meeting was already the limit, and if he stayed any longer, he would be suspicious; but her strange attitude really made people feel uneasy, so he hesitated and stopped her.

"Hey!"

She had already turned around to leave, but after hearing his thoughtless call, she stopped and turned around again, with a look of doubt on her face.

Hijikata thought for a while, but could only think of one thing.

"...You, don't do anything dangerous." He warned.

Kiyohara Yukiha looked very surprised, and even opened her eyes slightly.

"……what?"

This kind of clumsy reaction was familiar to Hijikata.He smiled slightly, and the tight eyebrows and the corners of his lips softened a lot.

"No one gave you any order to die. Therefore, there is no need to die. When your life is threatened at any time, you stop and come back to me.... Do you understand?"

Kiyohara Yukiha looked very shocked.

Indeed, it should be shocking.

Because these words sound familiar——

It seemed that before the Battle of Kofu, when the deputy chief had to go back to Edo to ask for help, that was what he told her before leaving.

The iron-faced ghost's deputy chief said to her: This is not a death, I did not give you an order to die, so don't do stupid things.If something happens before I come back, you protect Kondo-kun and run away together.

because--

"You are absolutely not allowed to die." The deputy chief said firmly.

Same as back then.

The person who is worthy of everyone and her trust and follow forever, the deputy head of the Shinsengumi who is called a hero of the moment even in later generations, said to her:

"I will definitely come back. You also have to live to see me. No one is allowed to die."

The deputy chief paused for a moment, and there was a trace of firm determination on his handsome and sharp face, which was no longer as young and full of vigor as before.

"That's the oath," he said.

Liu Quan:! ! !

The brain seemed to be hit hard for a moment.The buzzing in her head was so loud that it almost burst through her eardrums.The blood pressure seemed to be affected and increased, the temples were throbbing, and the heart was beating in a chaotic manner.Her body was hot and cold, and she felt as if her whole body was going to float or explode; she had to clench her teeth, otherwise she was afraid that she would have a complete mental breakdown in the next second, and put those unable to The truth that was told—the last resort, all of which she lost her mind and poured out to the person in front of her.

...really.

She had clearly thought about it, she had to be brave and finish the final task well, even if she had to face another parting, she had to arm herself with the best smile and respond well?

...Of course, in the same way, the reason why she let herself go so freely today, shamelessly said some bold words that would make the deputy chief angry, was because——she knew in her heart that this might be the last good moment.

Maybe it's the last reunion.

Because she doesn't know where she will be after tomorrow, so... She wants to seize this last chance, and in a joking tone, she talks about... the little ambitions she once thought about—

is it not OK? ...is that ok?

Can you tell him how much you want to lie on his broad and reassuring back, put your cheek against the thin, graceful layer of muscle over his butterfly bone?

You can tell him how much you want to start from the moment you see him for the first time, run with all your strength with him as the end point, until you rush into his arms, hugging him tightly like an octopus live him?

You can tell him how much you want to go to the summer festival with him again, eat the marshmallows and grilled squid sold at the small stalls of the festival, take the worthless gadgets in the trap as prizes, watch He fished out another goldfish, put it into a small goldfish bowl that was tightly bound with hemp rope, and took it home, and when the fireworks exploded in the air, he closed his eyes and stood on tiptoe, giving it to him quickly. a kiss?

……

May I? ...Impossible?

Liu Quan took a slow and deep breath, waiting for the agitation in her body to slowly disappear; then, she was finally able to calmly look directly at the deputy chief, swallowed the words that were crowded in her heart and really wanted to say, and smiled and replied:

"Okay. That's all."

"I will definitely live. When everyone is already desperate, I have to work hard to live. Because I made an appointment with Hijikata-san—"

Because, on the mountain road in Kofu, that's what I answered you.

Because, on the mountain road in Kofu, we used to strike gold as an oath; so, you can't break the oath of the samurai, right?

……

Liu Quan returned to the vicinity of the cave and handed the telegram to Longsheng Xixiang.

She didn't take it apart to read it first, but even if she didn't read it, she could still guess the general content.

It is impossible to send this telegram at this time just to say goodbye.

In other words, if you have the intention to send a special telegram to say goodbye at the last moment, you will definitely persuade him to surrender by the way.After all, the feeling of not wanting to see a friend die, even the hateful Satsuma who stand on the side of the enemy, is no different from their Shinsengumi.

Moreover, not long after, Xixiang Takamori, who was sitting alone in the cave, came out, facing the last followers gathered outside the cave while basking in the sun while waiting for his decision, and personally announced the truth of this telegram content.

"Miss Okubo..."

Saigo's speech began with such a formal appellation.

Liu Quan remembered that in the military discussion a while ago, he also referred to Okubo Toshitsu as "Ichizo".

Ichizo, that was the original name of Okubo Toshimichi.

It was the name of the person Xixiang knew when the two of them became friends.

But now, there are no such two people in the world anymore.Okubo Ichizo and Saigo Yoshinosuke.

Liu Quan couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips slightly with a hint of sarcasm and exclamation.

Kondo-san is Isamu Kondo until the end.Although he had changed his name to "Okubo Yamato" when he was arrested in Liushan.

So is Mr. Hijikata.Until now he is Hijikata Toshizo, even though he used to be called "Hayato Naito", the alias he uses now is "Katsuto Naito"——

However, their hearts have not changed much. Although the world has changed so drastically, right and wrong, right and wrong, whether friends have been separated along the way, who is in power now, and what the country has become...

Their original intentions are still there.

Maybe they also do wrong things sometimes, and sometimes they do things in a clumsy way and don't know how to adapt... That stubborn attitude may make others fear, hate or resent them, but their beliefs are always there.

Even the target of the initial betting of the belief has changed, retreated, and feared...but they are still persisting.Just so stubbornly and stupidly, risking your life, giving up everything, and enduring pain, just like that, fight to the end——

They were the director and deputy director of the Shinsengumi until the end.But Okubo Ichizo and Saigo Yoshinosuke have become important ministers and rebels.

Xixiang Takamori's expression was very dignified.

"...the order for the general attack has been issued." He said in a deep voice.

No one spoke.No one even exclaimed or marveled.A heavy silence enveloped the square inch in front of the cave.

Xixiang Takamori looked around and emphasized his tone.

"...at four o'clock tomorrow morning!"

It was like being given an ultimatum by fate, but still no one spoke.

The mountain wind blew, and the branches and leaves rattled.There are unknown birds flying overhead, with the sound of fluttering wings and the clear chirping of birds.

Xixiang Takamori seemed to be quite uneasy in his heart. He squirmed his lips and tightened his jaw twice before he lowered his head to look at the tightly held piece of paper in his hand, and read:

"'However, if you surrender before five o'clock tonight, you can leave the life of the rebel Xixiang Takamori'."

He finished reading the last sentence—the most important sentence, then raised his head and looked around everyone present again.

Everyone has different expressions on their faces.Some people were shocked, some lamented, some were full of contradictions, and some looked sad...

Finally, Murata Shinpachi standing next to him finally broke the almost suffocating silence.

"Yoshinosuke-kun..." he whispered.

Hearing this once extremely familiar name again, Xixiang Takamori laughed instead.

Unlike everyone's dignified or apprehensive face, he now has a refreshing smile on his face.

Liu Quan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

... She seemed to have seen that kind of smile before.

It was in Liushan at sunset, in that golden mansion.Also, on the streets of Edo in the middle of the night - when Kondo, as the head of the Shinsengumi, ordered her to evacuate, and handed her the piece of paper with the death poem written on it, please take good care of him from now on and follow him Hijikata, who is not only a deputy, but also a friend, and even a younger brother, is the same when he said goodbye to her.At that time, Kondo had a similar refreshing smile on his face, having made up his mind and made up his mind.

That kind of smile silently conveyed that he had already made full psychological preparations to meet his own defeat, and was willing to accept the harsh fate that followed; he understood what he would bear, because——

Kondo once said to her that as a general, as a general, as a famous loyal minister, the general ending is to stain his robe with blood.

February 10:

The computer was repaired, the system was reinstalled, and then I fell into the vicious cycle of being automatically patched in a mess these days [.

WIN10 is so scary, I can't figure it out ==

So today, in order to wait for the patch to restart the system, I spent the whole night [collapsing

Another thing is that now JJ's system has started to review all the old chapters again.

So if you find that a chapter is locked again inexplicably, it means that you have been accidentally injured again.

In fact, all my articles have passed the review last time, and now the locked ones are basically ridiculous. For example, there is a chapter where the sleeves slipped down after the girl raised her hand, exposing her arm【.

Please be patient when you encounter a lock seal. I usually apply for a retrial as soon as possible. This will take a long time, please understand.

Next update: every other day, on the night of the 18th.
