Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Tufang was stunned for a moment.

He was stunned for a moment by her unexpected bluntness, and then realized what an incredible thing she had said.

What the hell is she talking about?Is it implying that Yaye's different attitude towards her internally is disturbing?Or is he mocking his style of handling things with ease among women?

No matter which one it is, it makes people suddenly feel a headache.

He is good at dealing with all kinds of women, and naturally knows how to win their favor.As the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, he naturally has a heroic aura, and some women admire him as a young, promising and handsome "Master Samurai".He seemed to have no trouble winning their admiring glances.

However, the young girl in front of her didn't seem to be like that.

She stood in front of him with a smile in her eyes, but her left hand was still pressed on the handle of the knife at her waist.This action inadvertently showed her alertness, and—

A certain sharpness that has long been ready to draw a sword and go into battle.

This feeling doesn't come often to a beautiful woman.In fact, among the women he has seen, only Miko carries a thin sword with him - the chief said it is called "Western Sword" - but Miko is not like her, as if he can hold a sword anytime, anywhere He quickly drew his sword and went into battle.

She gave him the illusion that even when she stood in front of him and said she wanted to be liked like him, she didn't actually want to be liked by him.

She is as sharp and sharp as a sword ready to be unsheathed at any time.However, the average man would not like a woman who is as indestructible as a sword.Such a woman is too cold and powerful, which will make them feel difficult to control in the palm of their hands.

Hijikata slowly narrowed his eyes.

"...that depends on what you want to do," he replied simply.

This sentence made her surprised and dazed for a moment.A look of astonishment appeared on her face, and she paused before saying, "...I really didn't expect Mr. Hijikata to come up with such an inference."

He smiled and waited quietly for her next words.

But she seemed to be very difficult to speak. After a long silence, she slowly replied: "...Maybe, it's a crime...?"

His eyes widened for a moment. "crime?!"

Then he seemed to understand something, lowered his head, and smiled slowly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She stared at him with wide eyes as if there was a trace of apology in her expression, but she did not open her mouth to explain her actions and motives.

"Ah, I see." He continued, staring at her with his long and narrow eyes.

"I also heard a little bit about those people around the little princess of the Dragon God..." He chose his words, and then noticed a hint of embarrassment and embarrassment on her face for a moment. Blush.

It seems that he guessed right?

"Among the crowd of stars holding the moon, another outsider appeared to steal the little princess's limelight... The innocent and lovely little princess has no sense of crisis. ..." he continued.

Then, he saw her long eyelashes flutter a few times and droop down.

"...But, the little princess doesn't know, maybe this kind big sister has other ideas—" He dragged out the end of his voice, and the corners of his eyes slightly raised, evoking an unclear smile.

Even he had heard that Miko was always acting with other people from Yaba lately.The young elder of Satsuma always left the team and acted alone for one reason or another, but in order to protect him from the attack of Kagero, this "kind big sister" trusted by Miko also followed the elder of Satsuma. Jin, because this big sister also has the magical ability to destroy Yang Yan——

When the chief executive said it, he was simply curious and thinking about how her magical ability was realized.But the deputy head of the Shinsengumi is different.As a handsome man who has many fans among women and is capable of doing a job well, he can certainly taste the subtle atmosphere floating in it.

Although he inexplicably hated the young elder from Satsuma, he had to admit that he had the capital to attract young and ignorant girls.One of the things he hated the most was when he was patrolling the streets, seeing those young girls flocking like crazy to the team that Xiao Song took when he went out with a knife, chasing after the proud old man, causing a burst of order and chaos .

... Is this beautiful and awe-inspiring woman in front of me the same as those innocent and ignorant little girls? !

"Among the people under the little princess, who needs you to follow and protect his safety recently?...Probably, only the boss of Satsuma."

He calmly made up the final blow, watching her face gradually flushed red from embarrassment, a subtle strangeness suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Don't you... don't you think so? You don't intend to be the elder of Samo's family?" He asked her with a smile, and then saw her eyes flicker.

Finally, he heard an unexpected answer.

"I know what you're talking about...I also know that in this era, feelings are insignificant compared to faith, loyalty, benevolence, or the future direction of the country..." She said slowly, and then her tone gradually calmed down And stand firm.

"However, I don't want to be anyone's bargaining chip in my life."

"Even if the starting point is goodwill, even if it can meet my extravagant expectations... it's the same."

"I have repeated a cruel life over and over again...but even so, it is impossible for people to give this life in exchange."

"I want to make a choice so that I will never regret it at any time."

"I don't want a future that can only be built on the handouts or favors of others."

She finished.And for a few minutes, he just stood there, staring at her in surprise.

Then, the look on his face slowly loosened, and a real smile gradually emerged.The smile gradually expanded, and finally softened his face that was always inexplicably cold.

"It's really impressive, Ji Jun."

He said with a smile, that sleazy expression came back to his face.He didn't hide the admiration in his eyes, and said jokingly: "So, do you want to have an adult relationship with me, Ji Jun?"

Seeing her eyes widen for a moment, he couldn't help feeling a little funny.But she quickly got rid of that cute expression that made her look a little clumsy, she calmed down, sneered slightly, and replied: "...such a glorious opportunity, I think I'd better give it to other Jiang Beautiful women from Toto or Kyoto."

"Hey, women in Edo are very boring." He smacked his lips and stared at her half-jokingly, "The more troublesome a woman is, the more people are fascinated by it...Ji Jun, don't you think Woolen cloth?"

She replied blankly: "I have no research on such matters. Why don't you find a girl who really understands these matters and discuss them?"

This rigid tone neutralized the sharpness of her retaliation, and this subtle sense of contradiction made Hijikata laugh instead.

"It's a pity, your heart won't belong to me~" he said lightly, his tone seemed a little frivolous, but unexpectedly, it didn't make people feel disrespectful or offended—in the final analysis, this deputy chief here, In front of the woman, she is knowledgeable and witty, and she is easy to handle, not at all similar to the one she is familiar with; in fact, they are completely different, two people.

Standing on the street, Liu Quan watched the deputy head of the Xinxuan group hook the corner of the coat with his right hand, flung the coat over his shoulder chicly, then kept that movement, turned around and walked away slowly; as he walked, While putting the other hand behind his head, he waved at her leisurely - his posture was really handsome.

Liu Quan just stood there quietly, as if he forgot the passage of time for a moment, and no longer cared whether he would be attacked by Yang Yan; in her field of vision, that person gradually walked away, turned around the corner, and the figure Completely disappeared from her sight.

She stood there long enough for systemic bacteria to come to the surface.

[Why did you say those things to him?You are just strangers here. 】Although System Bacteria's voice was cold, it didn't sound like much accusation, and the tone was more curious and puzzled.

[Just because he bears that name and title? 】

Liu Quan: "..."

She was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked slowly in the opposite direction, and asked something that seemed completely irrelevant.

[...Mr. Shannan, what have you been up to lately? ]

System bacteria stagnate.

[You should have not forgotten the rules when performing tasks, right? 】It said like a warning.

[Arbitrarily asking about any situation in this world - including people in this world - is forbidden.You should focus on the goal in front of you—]

Liu Quan interrupted it.

[Of course I know. ] She replied softly.

[I just want to know what Mr. Shannan is doing recently, and whether he has adapted to the life there... After all, is it a bit inhumane to throw me out to do the task without saying anything—you know The agreement we reached at the beginning was...]

【enough!enough! 】The system bacteria seemed to suddenly become impatient.

【Keisuke Shannan is adapting well!It's so good that people doubt how deep this person's scheming is!With such ability and wisdom, how could he have put himself in such a predicament in the first place! 】

Hearing the System Bacteria's complaining reply, Liu Quan suddenly burst out laughing.

[Because, he did it on purpose. ] She replied with a smile.

It's like sacrificing yourself...I think that the most important thing for a samurai is swordsmanship, and I think it's not enough to only have my brain to contribute... I'm self-abuse and self-loathing, Isolate myself from everyone, and refuse everyone's care , living like an ascetic monk hiding in the dark, longing for the sun, fearing the sun, and finally embracing the hopes and beliefs that have not yet been fulfilled, just vanished into ashes——

She shook her head suddenly and smiled softly.

[Recently, I occasionally think of something... very, very long ago. ]

System bacteria: "..."

It didn't seem interested in her emotion at all.But it doesn't matter, Liu Quan didn't intend to force it to be interested in it.

She just had some words and wanted to confide in someone, but in the end she found that she was alone in this world, and there was no one she could confide in.

This feeling is a bit strange.In fact, no matter which world she was in before, even the world she went to alone, she never had such a feeling.

In the original novice village, although she was thrown there by surprise, she had to play a surly and difficult female psychopath while solving puzzles, but soon she met the absolute hero in that world - Mr. Atobe The character of "absolutely take care of my own affairs as soon as she encounters tennis-related matters", soon made it too late for her to worry about such trivial matters as whether she was alone; he used various tennis-related The topics, events, demands, goals, and remembrances seemed to soon fill her daily life and all her thoughts.

Later, Tezuka also appeared, and brought her the famous training program "run around everything ten times".

So, she was busy training, recovering, and getting stronger little by little. She didn't have time to worry about how isolated she was in that world, and how related the Xin Yajun she played was in terms of kinship. Oops--

Then, there was the magical seven-king system, the world ruled by the Dresden slate.In that world, she completely spread her wings for the first time, and she was able to shine like a real heroine from the beginning; from then on, no matter what kind of world she stepped into, she was not confused, There is no anxiety, because she has the ability, friends, and a strong heart——

But now, walking on the streets of Kyoto, she is almost familiar with the scenery along the way, and she can find the right direction and road without the guidance of others; however, walking on the busy streets, she feels a little loneliness in her heart feel.

[...It's because I don't have any sense of belonging here. ] She dissected herself.

Except for Shenzi who releases friendship to her by relying on the setting, no one seems to have pure goodwill towards her.Baye treats her politely and distantly, and Tianhai has other purposes for her. Even the target of her strategy—the young elder of Satsuma, seems to have a complicated attitude towards her, guarded, suspicious, and has many unexplainable reasons. Unidentified emotions; however, there seems to be no deep affection in those emotions.The only reason he treated her kindly and gave her expensive gifts seemed to be because she was the reincarnation of an evil god——

This bad mood didn't seem to abate until she climbed up to the roof of the Satsuma mansion after dinner and stayed on it to watch the moon.
