Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Kondo-kun was summoned by Rong Baogong today, and he is not in the village.As a supervisor, Shimada was originally a loyal follower of Shannan, let alone signed the so-called Jianbai document in a daze (?)!As for the more reliable supervisor, Yamazaki, because of Shannan's suspected escape incident, he has been rushing outside to investigate, and has not yet returned to the village——

So now, what to do?If there is no evidence, should Shannan be allowed to enter the garrison, and then temporarily guarded as a guilty person who violated the law in the game, waiting for the final investigation result?Or refuse Shannan to step into the village before thoroughly clarifying his reputation, because what he has done all day and night is no longer able to lead the Shinsengumi as the chief?

The earth side was a little bit in a dilemma for a while.

In fact, he didn't want to put Shannan to death—in comparison, he certainly hated the insidious villain Ito Kokotaro—but, taking advantage of his high position, Shannan repeatedly provoked Kondo-kun's leadership and authority , this is intolerable to the earth.

He hopes to teach Shannan a good lesson, and let Shannan understand that this is no longer the era of the Weiwei Hall, when everyone can sit on an equal footing and talk nonsense without being punished; of course, if some of Shannan's reputation and status in the team can be reduced And power, that's even better.

In the final analysis, how to deal with Shannan, the chief executive, is ten to twenty times more difficult than "how to deal with a villain like Kokotaro Ito".

Because from the past until now, Shannan, as the general manager, has won the trust and favor of everyone with his wisdom and gentle attitude towards everyone, and pushed himself to a place where even Kondo and Hijikata should respect him. , In a position that cannot be moved easily.

Hijikata believes that if he says "Hey, let's deal with Ito" now, then those cadres who are completely trustworthy since the test guard period, such as Okita, Nagakura, Saito, Harada, etc., will respond immediately and immediately do nothing. Carry out orders without hesitation.But if he said now, "Hey, let's deal with Shannan," then no one would dare to do it—even if the order was issued by Kondo-kun himself.

This is too dangerous.Earth side thought.

Downplaying the importance of Shannan in the team, when he speaks out, it is no longer enough to shake those cadres and important team members who are like the foundation of the Shinsengumi with the same strength and loyalty—this is what the earth side wants achieve the purpose.

However, now he was easily returned by Shannan with one move, and he will die here.

He was embarrassed for a moment, and there was an unbearable silence at the door of the Shinsengumi settlement.

Then, he actually heard the young girl standing behind Shannan with lowered brows speak.

"...If Mr. Hijikata still wants to prove it with his own eyes, why don't we invite him to come with us to Sanjo Omiya right now, Mr. Shannan?"

Earth Fang: "What...?!"

Shannan also turned his head slightly, as if surprised.

The young girl smiled and looked up.

The moment she raised her eyes and glanced over Hijikata's face, Hijikata's heart trembled for no reason.

He fixed his eyes on that face a few times, and made sure that he had never seen her before—although she was beautiful, that face was undoubtedly unfamiliar; Two eyes——clear and energetic, with open eyes, and a sense of awe-inspiring fearlessness can be seen when you look closely, it's not like an ordinary wanderer or the daughter of a local townsman can have.

Looking into those eyes, Hijikata snorted noncommittally.

... also good.

At any rate, it is to investigate important matters related to the head of the new selection team. Even if he is the deputy head, it is worth going there in person.

The three of them walked slowly on the already bustling street.

Tufang and Shannan walked ahead, and the young girl was two steps behind them.

Santiao Omiya is not far from Tun, nor is it close, but fortunately, none of the three of them seem to be in a hurry, so they just walked slowly, passing through the bustling market and crowds. , silently listening to the various sounds from both sides of the street.

Suddenly, the earth party spoke without warning.

"……why?"

Shannan paused for a moment, then responded with a little surprise and amused, "...what did you say, Hichikata-kun?"

Tufang took a deep breath, did not turn his head to look at Shannan, but looked straight ahead, kept his footsteps at a constant speed, and said, "...I can't figure it out. Character, more or less understandable... If you really want to leave, then you have already made up your mind to sacrifice as a warrior. You broke your own principles, broke the rules of being a warrior, and overthrew My original thought, using lies as a whitewash to turn back..."

He paused at this point, and even let out a long sigh.

"It's hard to imagine that you would accept such a clumsy behavior, and even explain why you didn't return to the village in the name of living out..."

Shannan pursed his lips lightly, as if he was smiling, but he didn't seem to show any expression.

Hijikata continued to speak bluntly: "I thought that with your character, Mr. Shannan, you would frankly admit the fact of leaving, then reject all the good intentions of others, and accept what will happen later with a brave and noble attitude—— "

Shannan's footsteps stopped.

Tufang didn't seem to have thought about it, and took two steps forward before realizing that Shannan had stopped.So he hurried back and stopped there, turning his head to look at Shannan.

He thought that what he just said was just the most straightforward inner thoughts, and he did not intentionally provoke or insult Shannan, and he believed that Shannan would be able to understand this; as for why he suddenly said these words, perhaps it was because the more he The closer he got to the Sanjo Omiya, the more intuition surged in his heart, telling himself that he couldn't find any useful evidence in that house to prove that Shannan really escaped rather than sleeping out without permission.So he wanted to say what he thought on the way to that house, to see what Shannan's reaction was, and to see if he could solve the doubts in his heart even if there was no evidence—

Shannan stood in the crowded road, his handsome face was expressionless, his lips were tightly pursed.

Hijikata always felt that Shannan's appearance was too handsome and gentle, but as a samurai, he lacked murderous looks, but he was a natural military adviser or staff officer; Heart-wrenching aura.

Shannan just looked at Tufang expressionlessly, and after a while, he said, "Perhaps what you said makes sense—"

Earthwork:? !

Before he had time to be surprised, he heard Shannan let out a slightly creepy chuckle.

"...But, I am no longer the original me." He replied with a smile.

His tone was so gentle that it was almost soft, but there was another creepy coldness in his tone.

"If it's me from before, maybe you're right..." He said softly.

In broad daylight, the streets were bustling with people, but Shannan seemed to have a black mist gushing out of him, which changed his aura and made him extraordinarily deep and unpredictable.

"But, I feel like I've already died once." He paused, and said - horrifying words.

"Death is certainly not terrible for a true samurai," he said.

"However, more or less it will change some of the state of mind ... and the way of acting."

Earthwork:? ? ?

die? !

When did Shannan have a near-death experience? !he thought in shock.

Of course, it is a fact that admitting that taking off means cutting seppuku—but hasn’t this happened yet? !

Shannan didn't kindly explain to Hijikata, but continued:

"Death can change the country... and life can, too—"

Earthwork:! ?

What the hell is Shannan talking about? !Is this the great truth of life that a person realized during the escape? !

Shannan didn't seem to care about his slander at all, and said calmly: "I've thought about it. If my death can't change the Shinsengumi, then I want to see if I can live—"

Earthwork:! ! !

This... what is this? !A blatant internal manifesto of rebellion? !What is Shannan trying to do? !

Just now, because Shannan was talking in a trance, he deviated from the line of sight of Hijikata for a while, and suddenly focused back on Hijikata's face.He looked straight at Tufang who was showing sullen expression, and suddenly smiled lightly.

"Kondo-kun is a good general, I think so until now, Hichikata-kun?" he said unexpectedly.

Hijikata: "!!!... What do you mean—!?"

Shannan replied with a smile: "The Shinsengumi will face many difficulties of one kind or another in the future... I think I am still a useful helper."

Earthwork: "..."

Shannan continued calmly: "Because in the future, all kinds of unprecedented changes will appear. Even those real big men can hardly understand, judge and deal with the changes... I don't think it's only close to Fuji-kun. One person, or you——the power of the two of you can handle it very well...Because in the final analysis, the Shinsengumi is still influenced and dominated by various external forces...Keep calm at all times , wise, keen, and firm mind to read the ever-changing current situation, this difficult task can only be persisted by one or two people for a long time, it is very hard..."

Earthwork: "..."

Compared with the emotion mixed with anger and unwillingness just now, after Shannan said such words, Hijikata was able to calm down a little bit and carefully chew the deep meaning of Shannan's words.

Shannan is not boasting how indispensable his own wisdom is, nor is he mocking him or Kondo-kun for not being smart enough.Because he can judge that Shannan's tone and attitude when he said these words are telling one thing:

What he said is the fact that will happen.His thoughts are indeed from the heart.Shannan didn't stay in the Shinsengumi because he wanted to fight for power and profit. He really wanted to stay because he believed that the Shinsengumi could do a righteous cause amidst the trends and changes of the times.

Hijikata heard his own voice asking a strange question unknowingly.

"...You were in Kusatsu, did you really not meet the chief executive?"

Shannan's gaze flickered behind the lens.He smiled.

"What? I haven't been to Kusatsu recently."

Tufang snorted harshly, turned around and strode forward.

The investigation is of course still to be done!This is a necessary program!Even if the subject of the investigation is the head of the Shinsengumi, it cannot be exempted!

The author has something to say:

February 7:

Too bad, I must have written the line between the vice-chief and the chief-chief too openly [.

Next time, let the deputy chief and the girl line up!

In fact, as I wrote it, I felt that the chief would personally face off with the deputy chief. It was impossible for him to push the girl to the front and hide himself behind.

In addition, in history, it is said that after Shannan-san left, he had no intention of really escaping at all, and he also came back with the director general in Otsu very readily.

This is also the way Dahe Opera handles this plot when it mentions it.

Later, it was also said that everyone wanted to persuade him to escape quietly before seppuku, but he refused.

I think he must have some kind of idea of ​​sacrificing his life for righteousness.

So I tried to imagine why Shannan-san did this, and then tried to imagine what it would take to make him give up.

Because to keep him alive, there must be a very important truth as a support.【.

Next update: or every other day, on the 21st.There should be a fight scene next time hhh
