Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Liu Quan:! ! !

She didn't have time to observe Tufang's expression—in fact, she was standing obliquely behind him, and it was difficult to see his face clearly—she immediately spoke to stop the loss.

"No, you're not right—we're good lords, but we don't push our subordinates to their deaths on purpose!" she exclaimed.

At that moment, Hijikata's lonely figure standing against the setting sun after evacuating the gold mansion in Liushan and being forced to leave Kondo there alone to face the new government troops who came to capture him suddenly came to her mind.

At that time, he said in a tone that was almost crying: Am I the same as the general, who abandoned people who absolutely should not be abandoned, and only myself survived? !

That sentence, later, he also mentioned repeatedly.In Aizu, in Sendai, all the way to Hakodate at the end... He bears the responsibility of leaving all his loyal subordinates and companions behind to face the powerful enemy, while he himself moves forward as the last banner of the Shinsengumi. self-blame and pain, desperately trying to keep the name "Shinsengumi" alive and moving forward with a deep sense of guilt——

Thinking about these things about him, she suddenly realized something.

"...Because, a good lord should take responsibility."

"Whether it's a goal or a belief, once a decision is made, regardless of victory or defeat, take it seriously, and don't weakly push the responsibility for failure to your subordinates..."

Looking into Kirino Toshiki's gloomy eyes, Liu Quan said loudly.

"I think that both I and Mr. Hijikata have fulfilled our responsibilities as a general. No matter what is waiting for us in front of us, we have all faced our own successes and failures, frankly. I accepted my own ending..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Kirino Toshiaki's contemptuous laughter.

"...It sounds so good, you really deserve to be from the Shinsengumi." He said with a smile, and shook his head, as if thinking that all this was ridiculous.

"Civilians who came from the countryside squeezed into the crowd welcoming the general with a knife without authorization, thinking that doing so would be regarded as a 'samurai'—"

He dragged his voice slowly, his tone full of humiliation and contempt.

"Then he went out of his way to carve out a piece of land, blatantly and ostentatiously passed through the market, and finally relied on these methods to make a fortune. Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one was willing to serve the general, he obtained from the general who was difficult to protect himself. The so-called 'fiefdom' is complacent, thinking that he has become a real 'samurai'..."

He paused meaningfully, curling the corners of his lips.

"When it comes to the degree of self-righteousness, you are indeed extraordinary~" he concluded with a smile.

Before Tufang became furious, Liu Quan had already stepped up from behind him, stood beside him, and spoke first.

"Does your mission include killing your colleagues here?" She asked coldly.

"Can you do this kind of thing without the approval of the Government of Time? - Private fights are allowed?... I don't believe that the rules of the Government of Time are not as strict as the rules of the Shinsengumi."

Tufang suddenly turned his head and stared at her in surprise.

……Right.Liu Quan thought.

In order to be the first to intimidate Toshiki Kirino in terms of momentum and words—if this person is really "Toshino Kirino"—she had to reveal something related to the government of time and the identity of the "God Judge" in her words information.

The deputy chief is not stupid.It was impossible for him not to be suspicious after hearing so many unfamiliar keywords.What's more, in his view, the past ten years that have been separated between them are completely blank.Where is she, what has she done, and why she has lived as a Rakshasa until now... Everything is actually a mystery that he doesn't know.

He can temporarily put aside those doubts because of this unexpected surprise reunion with her, but he will not just close his eyes forever like this, deceiving himself that her past ten years are like a blank sheet of paper, and no one or anything exists During——

Sure enough, now someone came to deliberately poke at that hidden worry, as if doing so could shake their minds.

"...Don't you understand? I have a valid reason for doing this."

Kirino Toshiki laughed slowly, his eyes were cold like a cunning poisonous snake, and his tone seemed to be drawing the final conclusion.

"Your Honmaru is rotten from the inside out."

"...just like you."

"I'm really surprised why those fusangshen under your command haven't evolved into a time retrograde army, with those terrible bone spurs and long horns, and black air coming out of their bodies—"

"However, it won't be too late for that day."

"For this reason, it is necessary to prevent this possibility from happening before then."

He pressed forward step by step, speaking cruel sentences word by word.

"Your Honmaru must be shut down. Those swords and swords must also be dealt with by broken knives."

"...Because this is the solution once and for all without any future troubles - you did something wrong and hurt your subordinates. And for some ridiculous reason, you still refuse to say the name of Fusangshen who really protected you... If this is the case, your honmaru will be shattered to such an extent that it is impossible to leave even a sword, so, are you satisfied?"

For a moment, Liu Quan felt cold all over.

broken knife.

There is no doubt that this person said such a thing.

For whatever motive or reason, this man hated her.Moreover, he also does not intend to let go of Honmaru under her command. In order to make everyone suffer, he will carry out the cruelest knife smashing.

"...you understand?" she asked slowly.

"The moment you say that word, it's an endless situation."

Kirino Toshiaki looked back at her calmly.He didn't simply nod or shake his head, but just stared at the change of her mouth so calmly and gloomyly. After she said the word "Immortal", his expression moved slightly, his eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on his face. A look of ferocity.

Is it simply hating the dark fallen?Or do you have doubts about her status as a "foreign aid" from other factions to serve as a god judge?Is he here just to preserve history?Or is it to repair this already perilous world?Does he know that the world is facing an existential crisis?Does he still intend to put "history" first in such a situation? !

…Looking into the eyes of the person in front of her, she suddenly understood something.

In this world, there will always be some people who are malicious to you for no reason.And with such a person, it is useless to try to convince him, or even to find out why he has ill intentions towards you and wants to see you unhappy.

Does the reason matter?It doesn’t matter if it’s because you don’t agree with your three views, or you just can’t get used to you, or you’re jealous of what you get, or you don’t deserve it, or it’s just because you have achieved what he can’t in a certain way. It doesn't matter if he can reach a height, or get something that he can't even dream of...

Even the goodwill and goodwill from others can become the cause of his anger towards you.

It doesn't really matter why.

The important thing is-

In the end, can you reach some kind of consensus and live in peace?Will he harm you?Will it destroy your life, the things you value?

... Now, the answer is very clear.

Only fighting.

You fight to the death.

This is what he planned to do from the beginning.

Liu Quan took a deep breath, resisted the urge to ask "what's good for you by angering us", endured the pain in the left shoulder that was still coming - the damage caused by the silver bullet can be immune to her Rakshasa physique With a bang, he let go of the sword in his right hand and dropped it on the ground, then stretched his right hand to his side, spread his palm in front of Hijikata, and said calmly: "Mr. Hijikata, please give me the gun. "

The earth side seemed to be taken aback for a moment.But Liu Quan didn't look at him.Her gaze was still locked on the "Kirino Toshiki" in front of her.

"As you can see, the person he arranged to ambush used silver bullets. ... So, I am injured in my left shoulder and can no longer swing a knife. However, I can barely do it by shooting." Her voice was calm and cold, Like the water drops falling from the startled deer in the courtyard on a winter night, the syllables are as if they are about to hit people's hearts.

The breath coming from beside him seemed to stagnate suddenly.Then, a certain kind of extremely strong anger swept over.Although Hijikata didn't say a word, the overwhelming anger seemed to sweep across the mountain road in an instant.

Liu Quan had to say one more sentence: "...I'm fine, Mr. Hijikata?"

Tu Fang was silent for a moment, and then responded in a rough voice: "... Ah."

But the aura and coercion coming from beside him didn't decrease at all.

For some reason, Liu Quan's heart suddenly surged with a kind of moving feeling like "ah, so I am also loved by others, and it feels so good to have someone to support me", which made her feel moved and wanted for a while. Laughing, as if the Enemy was nothing in the present; and she yielded to that pernicious and foolish impulse, and grinned, her eyebrows twitched, as if no one else was there.

For a moment, Kirino Toshiki in front of her showed a suspicious look on his face.That look quickly turned into a look of sneering again, and now his face did not hide his contempt for her at all.

Probably thought she was crazy.

……It's ok.

Thinking about it, falling in love with a person who only exists in this fantasy world, and who has been dead for more than 100 years in history, is incredible.

Maybe he also felt that a momentary hero like Hijikata Toshizo, who was admired by later generations even if he foolishly went against the trend at that time, would actually listen to him in this illusory environment. Her false story, and she was finally overwhelmed and captured by her, an ordinary girl whose name and background are all lies, is an absurd drama that looks like a collapsed character.

But what does that matter?

Liu Quan grinned at the colleague in front of him who was a god judge, and then asked nonchalantly, "Shall we go together, Mr. Hijikata?"

Hijikata said "Huh?!", as if he couldn't get used to her vulgar words for a while.

Liu Quan coughed.

"Because the Shinsengumi can't just sit back and watch important companions die—you've said something similar to me before, right?"

Hijikata was stunned for a moment, and finally managed to find such a trace of memory in the words he had said to her like a hill.

It seemed that she had indeed said such a thing, but... at that time, she was the one who made such a bold and fearless remark, as if she didn't take her own life seriously, so he got angry and yelled at her One pass, saying that their Shinsengumi can't always let important companions die casually——

...Well, but, it should be such an occasion now, right?

Although the conversation between the man in front of her and her was full of words he didn't understand, such as "Government of Time", "God Judge", "Fusangshen", "Honmaru" or "Broken Knife". But just standing in front of her, standing beside her, he can also feel the change of her mood - when the man said "broken knife", she was so angry, Just like when that man ridiculed him as the lord who sent his subordinates to die, and mocked the Shinsengumi as fake samurai.

So, that man is also standing in front of the Shinsengumi, he wants to be an enemy of the Shinsengumi, he intends to harm the Shinsengumi, so he must be eliminated, right?

Moreover, even if she doesn't use her own judgment and just listens to her judgment, the man in front of her is also an enemy, someone she is determined to defeat——

Hijikata Toshisan trusted Kiyohara Yukiha, it was that simple.

So, Hijikata Toshizo will help her complete what Kiyohara Yukiha has decided, right?

The author has something to say:

February 11:

Actually, Sunday is the third anniversary of my grandma's death.

Because this article has been written for a long time, the period from grandma’s hospitalization to her death also happened during the writing of this article.

That period of time was really tormented, until now when I think of my grandma at that time and the words she left me, I still have tears in my eyes.

In the past few days, I have not been in the mood to write, nor have I been in the mood to post candy, so I am really sorry for keeping everyone waiting for a long time.

However, I am going abroad next Monday, and I hope to finish writing the volume of Deputy Long Line before then.

At least when writing HE, let everyone eat candy

Then, my plan is to write a side story of the room chief exchange chapter that I previewed before.
