Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

She couldn't help sighing, feeling that Izumi Mori Kanesada's words were too unconvincing.

"Mr. Hichikata cares about every Shinsengumi member, even non-Shinsengumi members..." She said with a bit of a headache, "For example, Chizuru-chan—"

Izumi Mori Kanesada snorted, looked at Liu Quan's appearance, and suddenly walked over to stand side by side with her, stretched out his left arm to comfort her shoulders, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Maybe it's like this." ...However, I still think Xueye sauce is better."

Liu Quan almost laughed, and suddenly felt that Kanesan, who is usually very handsome and loves to show off, but who met his old master Hijikata mushroom and turned into a fan every minute, was actually a bit cute.

So she simply replied to him bluntly: "Thank you for standing by my side, Jiansang."

Izumi Mori Kanesada blinked at her.

"I'll always be on your side, oh, general?" He replied with a smile, grabbing her shoulder hard as an auxiliary emphasis.

Liu Quan was facing forward, looking at the direction where Tu Fang had just disappeared into the crowd, but the faint smile on his face disappeared unconsciously.

"Ah," she pursed her lips, her voice sounded a little erratic, "From now on, I will always remember what I said today, Jiansang."

Then she stood on tiptoe a little bit, looked around for a while, and locked the position of the deputy chief in the crowd.

With a slight movement of her shoulders, Kane-sang said "Now is the time for us to move forward", and she walked through the crowded crowd in that direction.

In fact, the earth side did not go far.When she struggled to squeeze through the crowd a few minutes later and stood behind him, he seemed to have noticed the movement behind him, turned around, cast his deep eyes on her face quietly, and changed her expression Instant panoramic view.His gaze was unfathomable.

"Deputy Chief," the handsome young man in front of him smiled nonchalantly at him, as if he was not at all nervous about being left behind without warning.

"It's not easy to find you in such a crowded crowd. Fortunately, I finally found you."

Something seemed to flicker in his eyes.

"Really." He replied simply, and then turned around from the small stall where he stayed briefly.

When Liu Quan saw clearly what he was carrying in his right hand, he couldn't help being really surprised and opened his eyes wide.

"That, is that... a goldfish?!"

Indeed, a transparent glass goldfish bowl was swinging from side to side tied to the rope that Tufang held in his hand.

The glass tank is filled with water, and the brightly colored goldfish are swimming leisurely in the water.

...the deputy chief, the goldfish fishing stall, and this goldfish bowl...however, the painting style seems inconsistent!

However, under the bright daylight, the bright sunlight refracted through the glass and clear water, reflecting the scales of the goldfish in the water seemed to be shining.

Liu Quan's gaze was attracted by the beauty of the goldfish.

"This, this is really beautiful..."

When she finished evaluating the prizes that the deputy chief had won, and looked up at Hijikata, she found that his expression was very peaceful, and he didn't seem to want to continue to reprimand her.

When his gaze also fell on the goldfish bowl, his brows and eyes softened, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

...No, it's not so much that the goldfish looks beautiful, but the person holding the goldfish bowl up in front of his eyes and looking at it tenderly looks beautiful.

The long and smooth black hair was simply tied behind his head, and a strand of disobedient black hair slanted down on his forehead, slightly blocking the deep and steady eyes, making it difficult for people to see them clearly. Emotions really surged in the eyes.But at this time, Shinsengumi Oni's Deputy Chief is undoubtedly in a good mood, with an unbelievably gentle smile on his face, staring at the goldfish swimming lively in the small glass fish tank , the sunlight cast the shadow of the fish tank and the clear water inside on his face.

"Yeah...it's very eye-catching." He said with a sigh, his eyes slightly deviated from the little goldfish, skimmed over the edge of the fish tank, and landed on Liu Quan's face.

"I fished it up on impulse. ... What should I do next?"

This question is a bit strange—should it be said to be the legendary "magic power of the festival"? ! ——Liu Quan felt a little unbelievable.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just stammered and asked, "Yes, it shouldn't be kept in the garrison...?"

Tufang seemed a little surprised, "... raised in the garrison? Are you here to raise it?"

Liu Quan: ...Isn't the most suitable candidate that can be thought of at this time, the gentle and caring Chizuru-chan? !

However, since the deputy chief had already spoken, she had to continue the lines.In the process of attacking, only fools will push out the selection limbs brought to them.Without hesitation, she blurted out: "If...if I can...!"

Tufang was slightly taken aback, then shook his head, but his expression was not angry.

"...Even if you live alone in a room now, it doesn't mean that you can keep such little things in the room at will." He said calmly, as if he was seriously worried about the future whereabouts of the goldfish.

"Creatures like goldfish can't be used as food. Of course, you can also release them in the nearby river. ... However, I heard that once you release a creature like goldfish into the river, it won't live long. gone."

"D-of course...!" Shocked by the deputy chief's whimsical and wild imagination, Liu Quan hurriedly said, "So-so, for the sake of its beauty, please..."

"Be sure to let me try" this sentence can't be said for a while.

He had clearly rejected this proposal just now, so it would be embarrassing to raise it now...

Hijikata narrowed his eyes, but his gaze seemed to drift elsewhere.

"If the color is bright and eye-catching, the number of enemies you will attract will also increase accordingly....No, maybe it is because life is too short that it looks so beautiful."

He said so with a sigh.Liu Quan couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Just as he finished speaking, as if to refute his point of view, the goldfish in the fish tank suddenly jumped up.

"Ah!?" He let out an exclamation, and was splashed all over his face.With a wry smile, he put down the goldfish bowl.

Liu Quan was also taken aback, and hurriedly walked a few steps closer, carefully observing whether his face was splashed by the water in the fish tank.

"Deputy, deputy chief? Are you okay?!"

Hijikata smiled wryly and shook his head, "What, what an unexpectedly stubborn guy."

Liu Quan hurriedly took the little fish that caused trouble from Tufang's hand, and handed him the handkerchief that was stuffed into his hand by a certain girl just now.

"Please wipe your face..."

Tufang was taken aback, and lowered his head to stare at the handkerchief Liu Quan handed over, with a strange expression on his face.

Then he didn't take the handkerchief, but turned around and walked outside the shrine.

"It's almost there, we should go back."

Liu Quan was a little surprised, and couldn't help saying "Hey?!"

Earth Fang stopped almost immediately, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"What. Haven't you played enough?"

Liu Quan immediately shook his head desperately.

"No, no, that's not what I meant..."

...Of course he doesn't like going to festivals with her.She was nothing more than a cheeky intruder.At the moment when Chizuru and Okita had disappeared, he certainly didn't have the extra patience to give her alms.

Liu Quan had no choice but to quickly follow in Tu Fang's footsteps.

As they walked, they felt that the joyful atmosphere of the festival was gradually leaving them.Crossing the street, passing the corner, just when they couldn't even hear the festival music, Hijikata finally spoke again.

"...What do you think of the festival?"

Liu Quan shuddered, and immediately replied seriously as a team member: "Ah, yes. There is nothing special—"

Tufang paused, and smiled wryly.

"...I didn't ask you that."

Liu Quan stared at his back walking in front of him in surprise.

The next words seemed to be a bit of a hindrance to him, causing him to hesitate for a moment.

"...Although I don't know why the boy, the chief executive, invited you to the festival, but somehow left you behind, but...it must be difficult for you to leave the girl who invited you to the festival like this. Bar?"

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then, for some reason, a strange shock suddenly surged in his chest.It was something called [Hope], and it was ignited again amidst the long-term frustration.

"No, it's not like that."

Behind him, where he couldn't see, she frowned slightly and replied with a smile.

"I've been through so many places, I feel very happy."

She paused slightly, and her voice seemed to soften a lot.

"Especially... the deputy chief didn't abandon me, it's really... great."

The earthwork's footsteps paused again.As if he didn't know how to answer her words for a moment, he was silent for a moment, and then simply replied: "...ah."

Following behind Tufang, Liu Quan secretly hid the smile that suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips.

In her right hand she held the small glass aquarium.The little goldfish that splashed water on the face of Shinsengumi's Oni's deputy leader just now seemed to have no idea how much trouble he had caused, and was still swimming leisurely in the water that was gently swaying with Liuquan's footsteps.

Basking in the afternoon sun like this, they walked one after the other on the way back to the settlement.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd in the distance.

Although this place is beyond the scope of the shrine, almost every shop on the shopping street holds activities through festivals, so there are quite a lot of people.

At this moment, in front of several shops in the distance, there seemed to be some disputes.Standing where Tufang and Liuquan are now, they couldn't see the situation clearly, but the moment the two of them stood still, there was a sudden cry from the place where the dispute happened, and the crowd gathered around to watch the excitement or help persuade the fight. Scream!

Then the crowd of onlookers scattered and fled in all directions. People ran and shouted in panic, pushing back and forth and colliding with the already crowded crowd on the street, which was about to cause a big commotion!

Hijikata immediately put his hand on the handle of the "Izumi Shou Kanesada" knife at his waist, and immediately ran towards that direction without even looking at Liu Quan.

"Hey! What's going on?!"

Liu Quan was taken aback for a moment, but his reaction was not slow.Today, when she returned to the village from the tailor shop, she was intercepted by Chong Tian in the courtyard before returning to her room, so she didn't have time to wear her sword.But at this moment, it was clear that someone was fighting or committing murder in front of her. It would be too dangerous for the deputy chief to quell the situation by himself, so she immediately followed up with the earthworker.

The two of them struggled against the chaotic and huddled flow of people, and when they came to the door of the shop, they couldn't help being stunned by the situation in front of them.

The stall set up in front of the shop was smashed into a mess. The shop owner fell to the ground crying, covered in dust, and clung to a person's legs. His head and body had been injured countless times, and his head was bleeding. flow.

And those guys who made trouble there, by visual inspection, are definitely one of the mission goals of the Shinsengumi all the time: not to be a rogue.

In an instant, Tufang yelled loudly: "Hey! What are you doing here?!"

The two people in casual clothes stood in front of the five or six tall guys with fierce faces, and they looked a little weak-they glanced at them and immediately locked on the obvious shortcomings of the visitors: it looked like Liu Quan, who is like a handsome young man who has not yet grown up and does not wear a sword on his waist.

The arrogant guy, who was holding his leg tightly by the shopkeeper, glanced at Tufang and Liuquan contemptuously.

Maybe they are guys who just came to Kyoto and plan to make a big career, but they don't seem to know the appearance of Deputy Chief Oni of the Shinsengumi.

"Hmph, with such a beautiful servant boy, pretending to be a samurai with two knives stuck in his waist, and wandering the streets, is he worthy to ask us what we are doing?"

Liu Quan wanted to applaud this desperate guy for a moment.

Can cleverly gather all the malicious stalks in one sentence, and finally poked at the Shinsengumi, who was born in a rural drug dealer family and was not considered a serious samurai class, so he was often ridiculed maliciously behind his back The scar in the deputy chief's heart, the fierce-looking guy in front of him will be a hero again in 18 years! 【No

...However, if I was swept away by this lifeless guy's map gun, and was teased secretly with the deputy chief, if I didn't come out first to pay back, how would I be able to hang out in the fields of Kyoto in the future!

Liu Quan immediately yelled before the deputy chief broke out: "Bullying and robbing merchants, is that what you villains who call themselves 'samurai' do?! If you do that, you will tarnish the name 'samurai'." Words, you don’t even deserve the honor of making seppuku!”

Probably because Liu Quan's high-level mouthpiece (fog!) directly poked at the opponent's weakness, the group of pretentious and unreliable rogues became angry and ready to move.
