Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Tufang's anger gradually took on a layer of confusion.

That doesn't seem to be the case... Are they thinking about the same thing? !

However, the problem at hand cannot be ignored.

If this kind of thing is put in the past...even if the person who is hiding something is another woman who lives in the Shinsengumi-Qianzuru, who is weaker and needs to be protected, he still thinks that he can draw his sword and point at the other party without hesitation , ordered her to tell the truth.Although he might not really kill her, he was not hesitant to make threats when necessary.

However, what he was facing was Kiyohara Yukiba.

This guy is not afraid of threats.Before her identity as a woman was exposed, she even followed his orders to do a death mission—a task that might cause her to be afraid when placed on other team members, but when she did it, she was very calm and calm, just like a A doll that has no emotion and doesn't understand fear, and never worries about whether it will ruin its life this time, or whether it will fail to escape...

So he can't threaten her.From a long time ago, death seemed unable to deter her.

What's more, he found that he couldn't pull out the "Izumi Shou Kanesada" that he loved very much from the scabbard so smoothly, and pointed the tip of the knife at her overly beautiful face pretending to be a man, like before. Interrogating the spies caught by the Shinsengumi or not being a rogue, say in a cold voice "Who the hell are you?! Hurry up and recruit the truth!" or "If you don't tell the truth, I will show you the Shinsengumi The way to entertain guests!" Scary lines like that.

This thought made him feel a little irritable.He put his hands on his knees, leaned his upper body forward slightly, frowned, and stared at her face. For a moment, he felt that no matter what words he used, he could not express well what he wanted to ask, and what he was feeling at the moment. Feeling.

Why... why can't I understand!The Shinsengumi was originally a group formed by a group of people who met by chance. If they cannot be honest with each other, then on what basis can the necessary fetters be established!It's not enough just to fight together. Aren't Satsuma and Aizu Fan still fighting side by side during the Forbidden Gate Incident and attacking Changzhou? !How long did it take for Satsuma to betray the General and the Aizu Domain, and conclude an alliance with Choshu! ?

And just following orders doesn't fully justify him considering him a companion—or even a friend!There were nearly 300 players in the Shinsengumi at most, but not everyone would make him so troubled and troubled!

the truth.What he wanted to know was just the truth—why was he so guarded against the truth that he didn't want him to know.

In his opinion, she has given him enough surprises and shocks, so much that he no longer thinks that there is any truth behind her hidden secrets that can frighten him and make him drive her away from the Shinsengumi up.

But...but how can you say such a thing!If he said it, his dignity as the deputy head of the ghost would be gone immediately!He has spent a lot of effort to establish a fearsome image of the deputy commander of the ghost, because this can deter both the team members and opponents at the same time!Now he hasn't said something like "Because you are our companion, so it is impossible to drive you away", she dared to yell at him in the face and contradict the deputy chief, if she said these two words again, In the future, she might become even more troublesome than the chief executive!Maybe it will reach the point where he can't control it at all!

He stared at her angrily, deeply aware of her stubbornness.

"just can not……"

He glared at her angrily, gritted his teeth and forced out a question.

"Can't... just understand each other a little bit?!"

Liu Quan was taken aback.

At this moment, Kondo's cheerful voice, which he tried his best to pretend, sounded from outside the partition.

"Ahaha, are there any arguments... I heard your voices from a long distance away."

Liu Quan and Tu Fang were startled at the same time.Hijikata stood up almost quickly, went to the door and opened the door, then stood by the door, reluctantly greeted Kondo with an unhappy expression on his face.

"Heh... Kondo-kun. How are things going? I'll go over and see—"

Kondo scratched his hair, the good old man's face showed a bit of distress, he looked at Hijikata, and then at Liu Quan over him, with a look of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" But I don't know what to do!" With a troubled expression, he squeezed out a smile like muddy.

"That...that's right! Ah Sui, then I'll leave the rest of the matter to you. Isn't Xue Ye going out on patrol with a group tonight? Why don't you go and rest first—"

Kondo smiled generously on purpose, while pushing Hijikata's shoulder, as if he really wanted Hijikata to leave quickly.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow! The matter of Xue Ye is the same, and the matter of Qianhe is also... Hahaha, in fact, it is good that people are fine, and other things, even if they don't know now, they will know one day, right?"

Liu Quan's heart sank suddenly for some reason, although she knew that Kondo's words were just perfunctory to try to calm down Hijikata, but the terrible ambiguity contained in this sentence still made her break out in a cold sweat.

It's hard to control the urge to think about the bad side along the development direction of this sentence?

Maybe it was because her face changed slightly, she was not usually so careful, but tonight, in order to mediate the fierce quarrel between Hijikata and Yanagizumi, Kondo paid special attention to both of them, and immediately added a few words of hope to calm the situation.

"...Because, when Xue Ye wants to say something, she will definitely tell us, right? We are trustworthy companions. I think so, right?"

...As the leader of the Mibu Wolf and the director of the Shinsengumi, the character design of Kondo in the game is really... so warm that it can't be real? !

Hijikata turned his head away fiercely, and made a dissatisfied sound like "tss", but did not argue with Kondo again.

Liu Quan was silent for a few seconds, feeling obliged to respond, and finally replied: "...that's right."

Tufang stood there without moving, and he didn't say anything more, as if he was waiting for her to continue.However, Liu Quan, who used to be eloquent as soon as he spoke, and whose language skills were MAX, stopped after saying this sentence, and became silent again.

Tu Fang complained in a low voice as if a little irritable: "...When I didn't want to hear what you said before, you always had so many reasons... Now I want to hear what you have to say, but I keep my mouth closed like A clam—”

He Mu... No, Liu Quan—pretend not to hear the deputy chief's analogy.

The last time I heard him use metaphors was at the Summer Festival last year.At that time, he once compared the bad guys to the mushrooms after the rain, saying that those bad guys would not emerge as many as the mushrooms that grow vigorously after the rain every day.

Now the deputy chief's rare [sense of humor] is online again, but she feels a burst of helplessness and sadness.

...Can't you use a metaphor at a good moment and use your precious skills of humor, Deputy Chief?

The deputy chief's complaints didn't have the desired effect, and he looked even more displeased.Speaking of which, he's always seemed unhappy lately.Maybe it's too much pressure and too many things to worry about.

"...and that letter! The letter delivered by that ghost general himself, must—"

"Okay, okay." Kondo pushed Tukata's back from behind, pushing him in the direction of the front yard.

"Hasn't Xue Ye always been a good boy, what else can't be trusted? Maybe it's Satsuma's instigation, after all, they are now with Changzhou, and they must really want to see our Shinsengumi Let's make a mess internally." In order to persuade Hijikata and dispel his anger, Kondo made a somewhat fanciful speculation with certainty.

Liu Quan: ... Director, what you said is so reasonable, I can't even refute it...

Regrettably, however, the deputy chief was not fooled by this apparently psychologically comforting statement.Still frowning tightly, with an obviously unhappy expression on his face, he was pushed and shoved by his respected Kondo-san to the front yard very reluctantly, as if he wanted to turn around and add more words to Liu Quan occasionally. Two sentences like [Deputy Chief's preaching].

But all in all, the long night was finally over.

From that day on, there was an extremely strange situation between Liuquan and Tufang.

Maybe it was Kondo and Mui's proper way later on, Hijikata didn't ask any questions about Liuquan's extremely strange superpower and the letter sent by Kazama after that.

No, that may not be the exact word.To be precise, it has been a month since Kazama attacked the garrison that night, and the conversation between Liuquan and Tufang was limited to the following conversations:

"Qingyuan, let's do 〇〇 things", "Yes, deputy chief".

Or: "Deputy chief, there is news from Yijun", "tell me".

All in all, conversations are limited to business matters.

So now the conversations between them often end in extremely unnatural contexts.for example:

Liu Quan: Today Yijun said something about 〇〇, and something about XX.above.

Earthwork: Ah.knew.

Liu Quan: Then I take my leave.

Earthwork: ...

or--

Liu Quan: I'm back.The matter has been settled smoothly.

Earthwork: Ah.knew.

Liu Quan: Then I take my leave.

Earthwork: ...

...The script and the lines are so similar that everyone is here to find fault!Who is the screenwriter? Come out and let's talk about life!Is it really okay for you to copy and paste like this? Is this an act of cheating wages? !

In short, some smart and well-behaved guys in the garrison are gradually able to feel the stiff (?) atmosphere between Liu Quan and the deputy chief.

According to Xin Baji’s complaint that the map gun sent out by the deputy chief who was bombarded once happened to sweep, “Wow, Mr. Hijikata’s aura is so scary recently, it makes the garrison a Shura field!”

The empathetic elder brother Harada also came to talk to Liu Quan in private, but it was not the same.

The crux of the problem is...well, Liu Quan felt that he didn't really know where the crux was.I had no choice but to put it aside for the time being, and felt that I had to wait until a good time came to solve this dilemma.

Is this... is it considered idle play?

The progress of the strategy seems to have stalled for a while.For the time being, Liu Quan has no intention of chasing after the deputy chief to push forward the offensive process.

In this seemingly wasted time, the summer of Qingying's third year has quietly arrived.

The difference from last year is that Ito has left the team with Hirasuke, Saito and others to establish the Royal Tomb Guard.

Okita's physical condition is gradually getting worse.Last year at the summer festival, he was able to take Liuquan to run around to intercept Qianhe and Dodo, but this summer, he could only stay in the village to recuperate.

There was a low air pressure in the village.

No one brought up the topic of the summer festival anymore.Especially those few people who went to the festival last year, for their own reasons, the word festival is simply kept secret.

Under the cover of this low pressure, the Obon Festival on July [-] came quietly.

In the evening, a Daimonyaki event will be held on the mountain, and there will be corresponding festivals in the towns.

The good old director Kondo, and the two considerate guys Harada and Shinpachi, in order to let everyone enjoy the relaxed festival atmosphere for a short time, so they prepared a yukata for Chizuru and found a tea house. Crane can change clothes there, allowing her to go out looking pretty and relax.

Kondo also very considerately called out the deputy chief Hijikata who was busy at work all day long and had no rest.

So now the strange combination of Hijikata, Harada, Shinpachi and Chizuru has formed on the street.

As long as there is an oni deputy leader in the team, the atmosphere will become very heavy without knowing it...

Even though he reluctantly went out with everyone, Hijikata still had a serious face, and he tried his best to preach to Shinpachi and Harada along the way, warning them that even if they are walking on the street, don't just enjoy the festival and forget It is my duty, if I see any suspicious elements, I must keep an eye on them, and so on.

This kind of preaching continued during Xinba's protest, until the local party accidentally said the title "the three of you".

The atmosphere suddenly became more gloomy.

After a while, Harada and Shinpachi pulled themselves together and said they were going to shop.Hijikata had a sullen face, as if he regretted his momentary slip of the tongue just now, and said that he would patrol the neighborhood, so he would not go with them.

Probably because he also knew that Harada and Shinpachi were actually looking for a place to drink to relieve their depression.

Chizuru contradicted for a moment, but chose to go with Hijikata very understandingly.Otherwise, the vice-chief of ghosts would have to patrol the streets alone.It felt a little cruel on a lively Obon night.

However, where there are many people, there will always be a little trouble.Not long after they walked, they saw two townsmen arguing not far away, and the quarrel became more and more intense. It was visually estimated that the two sides were about to fight.

Hijikata really couldn't see it, and planned to mediate the conflicts among the townspeople, and let Qianzuru go back to the village by himself, so as not to be crowded with people on the street, and unnecessary disputes would not be good.

Chizuru agreed very docilely, and watched Hijikata angrily walking towards the two townspeople who were still arguing without knowing each other. She didn't turn around until Hijikata's figure was overwhelmed by the bustling crowd, and walked towards the direction of the village. go.
