"I... I didn't... I just... that... I, I don't think I have that ability, I'm sorry, Deputy Chief..." She replied with difficulty, feeling her tongue was about to tie up.

Earthwork frowned dissatisfied.Because the faces of the two were too close, he seemed to squint his eyes and stare at her in order to see her face clearly.

"You seem to know about those troublesome guys who are ghosts or something!... Is it called Kazama? Yes, that guy! Why does he always go around when talking?! Why does he always talk about important issues? That funny expression made me ask you?!"

Liu Quan was completely embarrassed.

"Uh... I think it's because we have a hostile relationship with him... Also, it's probably because I've contradicted him again and again... So, that's why he keeps targeting me with bad intentions..."

The earth party shouted impatiently: "Whether you know or don't know, tell me clearly!"

His roar rang in Liu Quan's ears, causing her to shrink her neck subconsciously.

What the hell kind of situation is this, this is!Flip the table!Deputy Chief, if you want to extract a confession, can you please change your posture...? !

"A-Actually, I didn't know anything about the ghost clan before... It's just, because of various opportunities, I happened to meet that arrogant ghost general a few times..."

The deputy chief looked harsher than usual.Obviously, he is already scary at ordinary times... When did he become this kind of "staring at bad soldiers"...?

"The chief executive hasn't improved at all. He has been bedridden, and anyone who sees it will feel distressed...!"

For the sudden reversal of the topic that Tufang said, Liu Quan exclaimed that his brain could not keep up.

"……Eh?"

"And Hirasuke too! Why don't you speak out if you have troubles! Why are you being polite to us! Even if you want to understand his pain now, maybe you have no chance..." Hijikata continued to get drunk The jump thinking of the reader.

Liu Quan felt that his brain was completely exhausted.

She didn't often experience this weak and completely disadvantaged situation in the past.After coming to this world, it was the first time that I faced such a bad situation that was similar to a shame play. I could only respond passively and could not attack or counter-kill at all... Ahh, this is really terrible!

She hadn't had much of a chance to go out drinking with the Shinsengumi cadres before.At the earliest time... as a team member, he drank with his team leader at most - and Okita didn't like this kind of activities to win people's hearts in order to lead his subordinates.

So she followed the others to answer the call of Shinpachi, Hirasuke, and Zuoyuki—in order to conceal the truth of her being a woman, she went out to drink together a few times boldly like a real man.But who dares to invite the deputy chief who is usually very strict when he has nothing to do? It's not because his skin is itchy-so she has never seen the deputy chief drinking too much! Turn the table!

How is the deputy chief's drinking capacity...why did he die so quickly? !Ordinary people—especially those with strong self-control like the deputy chief, there is only one reason to hang up—that is, there are some major worries that are difficult to talk about at ordinary times, right?That's why you chose this occasion to drink away your worries? !

Liu Quan glanced around the room in embarrassment, and soon saw the neatly arranged quilts piled there that had not yet been rolled out.

Liu Quan took a deep breath and made a difficult decision.

She stretched her right hand very hard-this action made her lose the strength to support her body away from Hijikata's chest, she had to blushed and tried to ignore their bodies that were getting closer again-then stretched her hand to the side as much as possible, reluctantly Reluctantly hooked the corner of the neatly stacked quilt with his fingertips, hooked it over forcefully, held his breath, and dragged the quilt around Tufang's side with one hand, barely spreading it out.

"That...Mr. Hijikata... Anyway, please go to sleep first, I have already spread the quilt..." She opened her eyes and lied, trying to coax the deputy head of the ghost who has become particularly difficult after being drunk Lie down.

But the deputy chief of the ghost seemed ten times harsher than usual.And he doesn't accept perfunctory.

He squinted his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of strangeness in his eyes that were slightly hazy because of drunkenness.

Then in the next second, without any warning, he stretched out his hand, clasped Liu Quan and pressed it on his chest, trying to pull the left wrists away from each other again.

"What are you groping around there for?" He turned his head and stared at her right hand which was groping for the quilt, and asked dissatisfied.

But Liu Quan had a ghost in his heart, as soon as he heard the terrible words "touch around", his brain buzzed and exploded.

"I, that..."

Oops, I habitually want to apologize when I hear the deputy chief's yelling.Not to mention that they are in this state now.

"What should I do, can we really only use those annoying methods from now on!" Tu Fang glared at her angrily, and the five fingers of the palm holding her wrist tightened, causing her a burst of pain.

"Although I already have the awareness to become a 'ghost'... But occasionally, I don't want to use these methods on my most trusted companion all the time!..."

Liu Quan's heart suddenly thumped and sank.

...He was talking about Shannan?Or the boy Hirasuke who was about to be pulled over by Kokotaro Ito?

...or is it because he has always liked to deliberately oppose him, refused to take good care of him even if he was sick, and refused to leave the Shinsengumi's chief executive?

Thinking of this, for some reason, her heart suddenly softened.Looking sympathetically at the drunken deputy chief, she sighed softly.

"Speaking out such weak words...isn't it like Hijikata-san at all? No matter what kind of bad situation you encounter, you will confidently say 'there is always a way'—"

Even though he was closely watched by the earthwork, Liu Quan seems to have calmed down now.

She met his drunken eyes, which were extremely complicated and difficult to understand, and said, "...'This is the job of the deputy head of the Shinsengumi', isn't that what Hijikata-san has always said?"

"Isn't it just for the sake of Shinsengumi and Mr. Kondo that no matter what kind of difficulties, you can step on your feet with your head held high?"

"It is true that these are indeed troublesome problems... But Mr. Hijikata, who has been relied on and trusted by everyone in the Shinsengumi and is willing to follow, will solve these things, right?"

"The rest of us will do our best to help Mr. Hijikata, and follow Mr. Hijikata's orders."

"We can do whatever we want. As long as it is the deputy chief's order, we will do it without hesitation."

Hijikata didn't answer immediately, but looked directly into her eyes, as if he was deep in thought.

Liu Quan tried his best to warn himself to ignore this awkward gesture and not to interrupt Tufang's thinking.

Then, suddenly, he grinned.

"That's true... You, you're right!"

The corners of his lips suddenly lifted up slightly, revealing a smile.

The confident and powerful expression she was familiar with returned to his face.For some reason, the moment she let go of her heart again, her heartbeat suddenly made a noise.

Just now she had some free time to think about things other than [how to deal with a drunk deputy chief], she almost immediately realized clearly how blushing and bewildered it is to lie on top of a man.

Liu Quan's face was still purple-red in the dark room with no lights on, and the blood vessels all over his body seemed to be throbbing, and the blood flow speeded up a lot.An unfamiliar throb ran through her veins.

Something had to be done...something had to be said to undo all this embarrassment.

Liu Quan pretended not to notice how abnormal the current situation was, piled up an expression of admiration, put on a posture of a [childish fan], and responded vigorously: "I think Mr. Hijikata must be We can solve these!"

But after hearing her response, he was taken aback for a moment, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little strange.He seemed about to say something, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

"There is no guy in this world who can solve everything easily." He denied her idiot-like remarks in one go.

... Deputy Chief, you really don't save face... Liu Quan thought embarrassingly.

Then his gaze crossed her shoulders and her cheeks, as if looking into the distance, a little lost in thought.

"...but I'm going to show you results that make you say 'this is really nice.'"

What... what? !

Liu Quan was dumbfounded, and almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

She looked at Hijikata in surprise, but saw the confident look in his eyes, without any wavering, he was not staring at her, but looking straight ahead.

It seems as if he can glimpse something that resides in his heart, something that is as eager as a fire...

Liu Quan gasped lightly.

"...that's really nice." She replied softly.

Hearing her answer, Hijikata's body seemed to move slightly for a moment.

Then, his eyes turned back to her face, and they were fixed between her eyebrows, eyes and facial features, as if he was seeing her for the first time in his life.His arm across her waist seemed to tighten slightly, causing a strange shiver to subconsciously rush through her body almost immediately.

"Listen, Xue Ye, you..."

However, just halfway through his words, his arm relaxed and slid from her wrist onto the tatami.

"...Huh? Huh?!"

Not sure if it was a sigh of relief, or a strange sense of loss, Liu Quan opened his eyes wide, staring at Tufang who had closed his eyes and fell asleep with a heavy snort.

The arm across her waist also obviously relaxed at this moment, just resting on her slender waist so feebly.Liu Quan was silent for a moment, then gently stretched out his right hand behind his back, held his arm, slowly took his hand away from his waist, and gently placed it on the tatami.

Then she climbed off him as carefully as possible.As soon as she touched the tatami, she collapsed from exhaustion, turned over and sat down beside him.

Before I knew it, I had been tense for too long, and after I relaxed, I realized that my heart was beating very irregularly.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally let out a short, muffled laugh.

"How cunning, Hijikata-san."

...what is that.

According to her experience, if she drank like this, she might not remember anything when she wakes up tomorrow morning.Being able to drink to this point, how many troubles and troubles are hidden in his heart that cannot be said, and can only be borne and digested by himself.

"After drinking like this, you can walk back to the village by yourself... Is it because your sense of direction is too good." She was silent for a while, and teased with a wry smile.

"Shinpachi and Zuoyuki probably fell asleep in Shimabara... It's not that the corner house has no rest room for drunk guests, so why run back... In case you get lost or fall into it halfway What can we do in Kamogawa—"

As she spoke half-blaming, half-jokingly, she suddenly couldn't hold back, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up, revealing a hint of amused expression.

The previous embarrassment gradually faded away, perhaps because she decided that when the deputy chief woke up the next morning, she would not have such bad memories of tonight, so even though she had a subtle feeling of [I don’t know what happened today. Who has suffered] This strange thought, but it was not so cautious that he would never have the courage to attack the deputy chief from now on.

To put it bluntly, although the deputy chief loves to worry and blow hair, and seems to be influenced by the power of the world's plot, he always treats Chizuru extra favorably and has a pleasant face; but generally speaking, he is still a likable guy.

In short, once a certain person is classified by him as "I should worry about it", he is so arrogant and funny, from whether that person's swordsmanship is practical, whether he will lose his life on the battlefield, until today Is he full of food or where is his salary going, whether he needs to save it and send it home, he can find out what he has to worry about in every detail, and he yells and yells for fear that others will find out that he cares Own--

Thinking about it this way, I felt that it was not so much to blame the deputy chief for being drunk and not playing cards according to common sense.

Consoling himself, Liu Quan dragged the quilt to cover Tufang's body, then walked out of the room and closed the door for him.

She was tense all the way, and her face was also very stiff, until she returned to her room, closed the door, sat on the ground without any image, thought for a while, and suddenly fell back, Leaning his back against the partition fan, he let out a long breath, feeling that all the strength in his body had disappeared temporarily.

For some reason, the haiku that Okita had read before when she was forced by Okita to help him hide the Deputy Chief's "Toyotama Faku Collection" suddenly appeared in her mind at this moment.

It was Tufang's handwriting, written on the white paper:

【Seek and be confused/If you don't ask, you will have no confusion/The Way of Love】

【End of the show】
