Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Liu Quan thought about it amusedly, the smile on the corner of his lips bloomed faintly again, and he deliberately opened his eyes wide and responded with a puzzled expression: "Yeah? What's the matter, Yijun?"

Before speaking, Saito seemed to stumble.

"... Seeing you dressed up like this seems to be the first time. I didn't expect there to be such a difference..."

Once he started talking, Yijun's hidden chatterbox attributes surfaced.

"You dress up like this, it's also for team affairs, maybe it's not out of your own intention, but you should still..."

At this point he stopped again.

Should... what?

Liu Quan felt like a reader who was forcibly cheated after halfway through the serialization. He felt depressed for a while, and was so curious about what Xiaoyi didn't say, what happened next!

So she couldn't help guessing the direction of the plot.

The stern Xiaoyi will not say, "You should change back to your usual attire, this look is not suitable for you" or "As a newly recruited team member, since the task has been completed, don't do this again. Dress up as a team member" and other boring words, right? !

The thought of this possibility eliminated more than half of the subtle pleasure that had been hidden before.Liu Quan was the first to stop him: "Well... If you want to say 'this kind of dress is not suitable for you', then we can talk about it another day! Now we should take care of the situation here..."

"Please don't make wild guesses. If you don't say it now, it will be meaningless." Saito answered her seriously.

...So I really want to lecture on her overly gorgeous and mature attire and her reckless behavior of single-handedly taking action in advance! ?

"If you want to preach to me, I will listen to you whenever you say it." Liu Quan said casually, thinking it's best to get away with it as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be easy for the serious Xiaoyi to preach stop!Many people in the Shinsengumi have experienced it!

"... Preaching?" Saito frowned as expected, "No, it's not that kind of thing. But I think this matter should be said now..."

Before he could finish speaking, the rescuers came.

Okita's voice suddenly appeared behind Liu Quan.

"Huh? Snow Leaf Sauce?!" As if surprised, he walked from behind her to the front of her body, looked at her outfit with the bright light in the room, and then smiled.

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be very suitable for this kind of dress, Xueye sauce." He said to her casually.

"It's no wonder people say 'a groom also depends on his clothes', isn't he referring to the current situation? A man depends on his clothes, a horse depends on his saddle—"

What is a groom... My wife's COS is a Taifu, not a groom, okay?Flip the table!hateful!Sir, we are done with friends! !

Liu Quan couldn't help but grinned at him again.

"Hey! Can't you say something nicer, Okita-kun!"

Okita smiled and waved at her, "Leave it to us to deal with it. If Yukiba-chan, go to the gate and stop Shinpachi and the others to give them a good warning and let them stop messing around here. I always feel that If it's Mr. Hijikata, maybe he will order an additional search here."

Liu Quan: "...Okay."

She glanced at Saito with a sullen face, nodded slightly to him, said "Thanks for your hard work", then turned and went downstairs, where no one saw, quietly tugged at the clothes that had tightly wrapped her body. Kimono, and complained in a low voice, "Fortunately, I don't have to wear this to fight. It's so inconvenient."

She staggered on the "three stilts" on the porch, and it took a few minutes to get used to it as if she was walking on stilts before she walked steadily.Then, she walked towards the gate of the corner house, raised the curtain straight away, walked out, and looked in the direction of Shimabara's gate involuntarily.

... The commotion that Hijikata and Qianzuru almost caused there just now has long since disappeared.The gathered crowd has long since dispersed.

The streets of Shimabara are no different from usual, it is still full of feasting and feasting, and people come and go.Crowds of merrymakers and women who make a living out of laughter filled the entire street. No one cared what happened at the gate of Shimabara just now, what happened in this corner house, and how many people lost their lives.

These are uncertain times like falling cherry blossoms.Life is meaningless here.Timely gratification is the iron rule Shimabara enshrines.

Yet she has no time for instant pleasure here.

It is indeed a terrible fan world that even systemic bacteria find troublesome.Even with her Su Shuang setting, such clear loyalty and hidden hints of affection behind it, so far it is completely impossible to capture the original official match.

Thinking of the glaring scene just now, a shadow cast over Liu Quan's face.

...something must be done.Self-esteem is unimportant, mood is unimportant, and the reserve one must maintain as a woman is even less important.

Even if dignity, love, life and everything else is at stake, the task must be completed in the end.Because she absolutely cannot lose here.

Because of being full of sadness, holding back everything she left behind with tears, and because of those who supported her tenderly and expected her, she must not stand still here.

Damn it... I gave up so many beautiful feelings and memories, not because I lost to the powerful plot inertia and the powerful Mary Sue heroine here!No matter how hard-hearted Dojimata is to other women, I must desperately snatch his favor like a despicable and pathetic cannon fodder, because I must let him live at the end and maintain this The world won't collapse--

Liu Quan suddenly looked up at the sky.A round of full moon in the night sky is extraordinarily gentle and bright, shining with soft and clear brilliance.

Her nose was sore for no reason, and she said softly as if she was talking to herself: "The moon tonight is so beautiful."

【I said——are you troubled by this?Does this kind of thing bother you? 】

Suddenly, a beautiful voice that had been missing for a long time suddenly surfaced in the depths of her memory.

Ahh, the reason why I think of this person is because - when she said this sentence ignorantly last time, the person standing opposite was probably this person.

This person had, objectively speaking, the most beautiful and magnetic voice she had ever heard.

[You listen to what you want to pursue most in your heart, make the consciousness of sacrificing everything for it, and make painful efforts... Isn't such a choice more precious than anything else? 】

Yeah.Atobe-kun, do you really think that my efforts are not meaningless?

... What if it fails?What if you are facing a powerful and invincible opponent?So what?

Ah, it seems like she asked someone the same question before.At that time, what was the answer she got?

[No matter how powerful an opponent is, there will always be weaknesses.Even if you can't find the opponent's weakness in time, as long as you fight upright, you will always get a good result. 】

Is it a good result... If you can't achieve the mission goal, then it's impossible to get HE?At that time, what will happen to the world?What will happen to her, a loser?

Will be punished.

Will you go home?Will he be left alone in this strange game forever?

Will it die?

【Xinya, thank you. 】

Another voice that made a deep impression on her, that she thought she would never forget, but after coming to this dangerous world, she was too busy to recall it for a long time, rang in her mind.

【Thank you for trying to survive when everyone is desperate. 】

[This is your shining virtue, please continue to work hard like this in the future. 】

...can't give up yet.

Absolutely cannot fail.

Can't die.

Because, I made an agreement with others, to keep going forward, to make painful efforts, to fight with dignity, to win the final victory, and to survive desperately when everyone is desperate .

because--

In my memory, in the busy lobby of Narita Airport, I said to the former tennis minister of Qinggaku, who was carrying a tennis bag and was about to board a plane to the United States to prepare for the hard court season, "I think I can definitely start from this good starting point, Towards a wonderful life."

In my memory, I was trapped in a malfunctioning Ferris wheel car in mid-air, and I once said provocatively to the head of the ghost animal room in a bathrobe sitting opposite, "I prefer to find new ways in difficult situations, simple Roughly turn a bad thing into a good thing."

In my memory, on the tennis court in the setting sun, I raised the paper bag in my hand to the Ice Empress No. [-] Platinum Prince Charming who unexpectedly possessed the [responsible chicken woman attribute], and said with a smile, "Because—— —Only love and rice balls cannot be let down."

She pursed her lips slowly and smiled slightly.

However, at the same time, unknowingly, a drop of tear came out of the corner of her eye, slid down her cheek quietly, and drew a small water mark on her face that was still full of makeup.

……it does not matter.Sure.

You must be able to fight against this decaying and collapsing world with fear and courage. Even if you face the most difficult road ahead, you must stumble and go on until the end of the world, until the endless sky, facing the wind. Wings, embrace the victory that you will definitely strive for.

Liu Quan stretched out his right hand, touched his cheek with the pulp of his finger, then looked down and laughed dumbfounded.

"...It's not suitable for me. Yi-kun is probably right-although he didn't say it directly."

She stepped out of the gate of the corner house, came to the brightly lit street of Shimabara, and looked in the direction of the gate of Shimabara.

"Why are other people so slow... Then how did Okita-kun come here just now?" She was talking to herself, and she began to feel that things were a little strange.

It stands to reason that Okita's cough seems to be getting worse recently, and it's okay if he doesn't come for such a mission.As a result, not only did he come, but he also came so much earlier than everyone else—it seemed as if he followed in the footsteps of Tufang.

A light flashed in Liu Quan's mind.

...Could it be that he is also worried about Chizuru-chan? !

Before she finished analyzing Okita's incomprehensible psychology, she suddenly heard a voice softly behind her.

"Oh, oh, could it be that... this is the new oiran, Axue, from the corner house?" Suddenly someone beside him said this.

Liu Quan suddenly turned around!

A man came slowly out of the shadows of the corner room.

Even though he walked out of the shadow of the house, he still carefully chose a dark place where the lanterns could not reach the door of the corner house to stand.

He was wearing a very low-key dark kimono and horse riding hakama, covered with a dark green sleeveless haori, with one large and one small two knives stuck in his waist, and the lens on his face occasionally reflected a street scene The light cast by the lights.

Liu Quan was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Shan...Mr. Shannan?!" She seemed to be in a daze for a long time before she found her own voice and forced out a name.

...Although he was also one of the attendees and one of the decision-makers at the meeting when this operation was discussed, he has been a Rakshasa for a long time, so he shouldn't have appeared in such a brightly lit and crowded place like Shimabara regional, even at night.

But why... is he standing here now? !

The person standing in the shadows saw her dumbfounded look, and there seemed to be a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I just heard about the situation here, so I came here to take a look." Shannan said lightly, "It's really a coincidence that those people were found when both Saito-kun and Yamazaki-kun temporarily left the corner house ..."

Liu Quan single-handedly beheaded a vagrant rogue just now without any backup, it was just a small flame ignited by the ignorance and resentment in his heart.Now that I think about it afterwards, I can't help but feel scared for a while.

... If Okita and Saito didn't arrive in time, then she would have to face a dozen of them alone——afterwards, Saito searched out a few accomplices of Sachang Ronshi who had not revealed their identities in other rooms—— Tall and big, like a wolf and a tiger, don't show off as a ronin.

Even if she killed one preemptively, it still wasn't enough.What if...they found out that the person had been killed, if they found out that she was the one who did it...if they planned to harm her, then what would she do?

Thinking of this, her momentum suddenly weakened.She also no longer cared that she was still wearing Shimabara Oiran's "three-piece shawl" and had to straighten her back to be worthy of that imposing manner and posture; dark ground.

"I seem to... have done something reckless." She said in a low voice with a slight sigh and a tone of self-blame.

"Fortunately, Okita-kun and Yi-kun arrived in time, otherwise the other people in this corner room would be implicated, as well as Miss Junju who generously lent it to us..."

"Ah, that, you don't have to pay too much attention." Unexpectedly, Shannan, who has always been very gentle and considerate to others, still said such selfish words in a gentle and peaceful tone.

"The Shinsengumi borrowed her place, and they won't not pay her. We paid for it, and they won't have anything to lose." There was still a gentle smile on the corners of his lips. With a smile, the scorching eyes behind the lens cast on Liu Quan's face.

"Compared to that... When you do it, do you really think that is the time to do it?"

Suddenly being asked such a question by Shannan, Liu Quan raised his head in astonishment, a confused and bewildered expression appeared on his face for a moment.

"Hey?!"

Shannan smiled gently and repeated the question again.

"What you have to reflect on is to ask yourself, when you made the decision to do it, did you think that was the best time, or the time to do it that way. If so... no matter how much it seems in hindsight If you are reckless, you have to do it without regret.” His voice was gentle and calm in the dark night, like the sound of cicadas chirping in the middle of the night, unexpectedly able to produce a sense of peace of mind.

"Shinsengumi has done countless things so far, and I think it's too risky, but at that time it had to be done like this, and it also brought good results...such as the night at Ikeda House, wasn't it?" He smiled slightly.

Following his words, Liu Quan's mouth opened unconsciously, and it became wider and wider, with a shocked expression on his face, as if he had never thought of such a reason.

I don't know how long it took before she let out a short startled laugh, the shocked brows gradually softened, and a smile spread between her brows.

"...That's right."

She slowly straightened her back again, and her figure looked slender and slim under the illumination of Shimabara's lights at night.

"I'm sure that's the time to take action..." she said slowly, "If it's a little later, that person may go to inform the other helpers in the corner room, or he may rush directly to the detriment of the deputy chief... There was no doubt about the decision to do it, and as you said, it was something that had to be done without regret."

Shannan looked at her deeply, and after a while, he laughed softly.

"That's fine."

After he said this, he didn't even say goodbye to her, just as abruptly as when he appeared, his figure retreated into the deeper and darker shadow between the roofs, and just disappeared like that.

Liu Quan stood in place, staring at the place where he was standing just now, without moving for a long time.

...What is the purpose of coming here, Mr. Shannan.

Just to see if I messed up everything?Or because you are not sure whether this operation can be carried out smoothly, so you come here for inspection, just in time for the last big melee?

Why is everything you do so confusing, Mr. Shannan.Whether it is persisting in the study of change, or maintaining the normal operation of the Rakshasa team at all costs, or suddenly appearing in Shimabara in the middle of the night...

What are you thinking about, thinking about something that others cannot understand and share, Mr. Shannan.
