Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Just after turning a corner, Saito reached out and grabbed the wrist of Liu Quan's hand that was still on his right sleeve, and dodged to avoid the dark corner formed by the roadside houses.

"...How dare you come here alone, it's too dangerous!" His calm voice seemed to be slightly lowered, and by the way, he was also suppressing some unknown anger.

Liu Quan felt that he had a high fever and was blowing the bleak November wind, and ran on the night streets of Kyoto for most of the night, and his current physical condition had really reached the limit of endurance.

It is true that a real warrior like her had a high fever of 14 degrees as early as 39 years old in the Jataka world, and she did not miss the high school entrance examination. , The task of running around on the big map also polished off her remaining blood.

She felt that her head had started to prick sharply, as if someone had stabbed it with many needles, her limbs were cold due to high fever, her body shivered involuntarily, and her head was heavy, so she stretched out her free right hand to press I hopped my temples that were about to explode, and finally showed a trace of irritability and impatience on my expression.

"So, after Ryoma Sakamoto's assassination, are you doing well in the Tomb Guards?" She leaned back against a wall of a house, not caring how dirty the wall was, and pressed her fingers on her temples. With a little strength.

"If you really feel that there is no need to come out with me tonight, no matter how much I cry, you will reject me on the spot without hesitation. For example, you may say, 'As a samurai, of course I have dignified and important things to do. You should support it' and the like...Since you still left with me in the end, it means that there is a reason for you to leave now at the Royal Tomb Guards—whether you think you can't stay any longer, or you think you have to leave first. Whether you leave with me to convey important information, my appearance will still help you."

In the shadows where no one could see, Saito opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

No, what she pointed out was indeed the crux of the problem.He has no dissatisfaction with this.

What surprised him was her tone of voice and the way she phrased it.In his understanding, neither Kiyohara Yukiya nor Kiyohara Yukiha would speak to him so bluntly and sharply.

From this point of view, maybe...she can be called a gentle person, right?

Such a strange thought flashed through Saito's mind for a moment, but he had no time to think, but suddenly leaned forward and covered her forehead with his hands.

Liu Quan: ...! ! !

After a while, Saito calmly took his hand away.In the dark night, those dark blue eyes stared at her quietly.

"You have a fever," he said, in a matter of fact.

Liu Quan: "..."

"...So you may also lose the ability to bring important information back to the camp soberly and safely." He continued to speak calmly.

Liu Quan: "...?? What are you talking about...Of course I can...!"

Subconsciously, she wanted to defend his denial of her ability to work.However, at the next moment, he suddenly turned around, with his back to her, and slightly bent his body.

"Come up." He told her concisely.

Liu Quan: ...! ! !

"No, I'm not that sick, so I can walk by myself..." She was frightened by Saito's order, her mind went blank for a moment, and she immediately realized that he planned to carry her, a patient, back to the village!

She immediately took a step back—but she forgot that she was leaning against the wall behind her, and there was no way out.

Through the thick coat, Liu Quan felt his shoulder blades hit the wall behind him.A cold feeling unique to winter came along there and climbed up his spine.

"Yi-kun," she had to try to keep her tone objective and steady, reminding him, "You don't have extra time to carry me back to the village and then back to Gaotai Temple. That would take too long, Ito and the others will definitely treat me This is suspicious..."

Saito said calmly, "Come up."

Liu Quan was dumbfounded for a moment.

Tooth decay, Xiaoyi's stubborn side broke out.

...Besides, Yi-kun, don't you think it's too much for you to carry me all the way back with the height difference of only a few centimeters between the two of us? !

Liu Quan reluctantly tried to persuade the stubborn Xiao Yi.

"Calm down, Kazu-kun! At this moment, it doesn't matter if I have a fever or something. What matters is that any decision you make may directly trigger the actions of both the Shinsengumi and Imperial Tomb Guards at any time..."

This sentence seemed to be quite profound, Saito was silent for a moment, and suddenly turned his head slightly to look at her.

Then, there seemed to be a flash of light in those deep dark blue eyes.Saito said simply, "I'm sure this is the time to do it. This is what has to be done without regret."

Liu Quan was momentarily stunned and speechless.

Facing her shocked expression, he subtly twitched the corners of his lips, and said it again.

"I think this is the most correct decision for me at this moment," he said. "I should return to the Shinsengumi."

Liu Quan stood there blankly, looking at his young and steady face.

After a while, as if she understood something, she let out a long breath, as if she finally gave up on persuading him.

"I...I'm heavy?" she asked stammeringly.

Saito paused and smiled slightly.He turned around again and bowed down.

"Ah." He replied simply, "Don't worry, I won't throw you off."

Liu Quan's saying that he is very heavy is of course just a polite remark.As a girl who has experienced three worlds in a row and can only be a thin and flat-chested girl, she feels the malice of the system bacteria.

Reason told her that her body temperature was getting higher and higher, and her reaction speed and pace were greatly reduced; if Saito really decided to return to the Shinsengumi tonight, then the sooner the better.She insisted that walking by herself would only slow them both down, because it was impossible for Saito to leave first and walk slowly without her alone.

However, I don’t know how many lifetimes I have lived (what’s wrong?!), this is the first time that I have a stranger of the opposite sex outside my family walking on my back.This latest shame play made Liu Quan so embarrassed that he wished that he would disappear immediately, and hoped that the village was close at hand and could be reached just after turning a corner, so that he could be freed from this torture as soon as possible.

However, the settlement seems to be far away in the sky.Even though Xiaoyi carried a steady back and walked more steadily, and didn't seem to be struggling at all, it seemed that the end point that Liu Quan had been waiting for had never come.

Finally, at the moment before her whole body was about to explode and smoke, she finally saw the intersection of the street leading to the village from a distance.Liu Quan, who had already been dizzy from the high fever and nearly collapsed, immediately jumped off Saito's back with a shudder.

"I can't just go back like this...I have to change it back!"

Saito was taken aback for a moment before realizing that her so-called "refitting back" actually meant "returning to men's clothing", and an indescribable expression immediately appeared on her face.

Liu Quan looked around and saw an alley.

The alley was very narrow. It was originally a back alley between two rows of back-to-back houses. It was not used or cleaned at ordinary times, but now it has been reduced to a place like a garbage dump.

However, in Liu Quan's eyes, it was an excellent dressing point.She said, "Yijun, you can go back to the village first, and I'll be there soon!" Then, holding the calico bag, she plunged into the back alley.

When she changed into a man's attire and walked out of the back alley with a splitting headache and the cold of the late autumn night, she looked up and couldn't help being startled.

Saito actually pressed his right hand on the handle of the saber at his waist, and stood upright at the intersection not far away, still waiting for her.

Liu Quan: ... Fuck you, your boyfriend is a bit strong today? !

Not knowing whether this comment that suddenly popped up in her heart was a compliment or a complaint, she endured a growing headache, frowned tightly because of her physical discomfort, and walked quickly in the direction of Saito.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong during the last short journey.Moreover, with Liu Quan's protection, Saito also entered the garrison smoothly - the guard in charge of the gate, of course, had no idea that Saito entered the guards of the Imperial Tomb to be an undercover agent, and suddenly saw Liu Quan so proudly I was a little surprised to bring Saito back.

"This...Qingyuan-kun! Even if you are now the acting group leader of the first group, this is too..."

Liu Quan's last bit of patience was exhausted, and he said unceremoniously with a sullen face: "It is because this person is very important that I have to take him to see the director and deputy director! If you have any dissatisfaction, you can directly tell the deputy director." Bar!"

After speaking, he turned sideways to block the innocent soldier from behind, then tilted his head at Saito, motioning for him to go in.

Saito: "..."

Team Ping in charge of guarding the goal: "..."

In short, after Liu Quan's last bit of patience disappeared, the adrenaline burst out suddenly, and he took out the [Fuck, Laozi is about to be burned to death, and I have to do the task with all my heart, so who dares to stand in front of Laozi and consume Laozi's few remaining blood bars? If you do, you must show me the consciousness that you must die! ]'s powerful momentum, he walked in front all the way, leading Saito straight to the outside of Hijikata's room.

Then she stood still at the door, without hiding her voice, and said to Saito: "Okay, please tell the deputy chief directly if you have any important matters! If I don't go back to the room, I will burn to death right here." So next, you can do whatever you want, anyway, this is the settlement of the Shinsengumi, and you have returned safely! Welcome back! Good night!"

After finishing speaking, before Saito, who had a look of astonishment on her face, could speak, she turned around and walked back to her room at a brisk pace.

Liu Quan didn't know exactly what Saito reported to Kondo and Hijikata when he returned to the village that night, and whether other officials were called to attend the meeting at the same time.

Because she had just returned to the room and lay down, the exhaustion and hard work accumulated from the whole night's toil and toil spread out violently in her body like an explosion, filling her limbs and bones in an instant.She collapsed exhausted on the bed that had been rolled out before going out, feeling that she was so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger.

However, the high fever prevented her from sleeping well at night.She woke up almost every two hours, and when she fell asleep again because of high fever and exhaustion, she always could only sleep lightly in a mess of a lot of unrelated broken dreams that seemed real and unreal.Finally, when she looked at the small cloth bag containing the cold medicine box and the thermometer that she had placed next to her pillow at some point, and took out the thermometer from it, she felt a burst of deep exhaustion and despair.

Of course, she knows that this feeling can be eliminated in just a short day or two, and once she recovers from the illness, she will still be alive and kicking (?!).However, in this kind of late night when the mountain rain is coming, the atmosphere is extremely depressing, and even the night sky outside the window is dark and dull, the kind of person who can only curl up in a small ball under the quilt alone, grit his teeth and live with the past. She struggled against high body temperature, tearing headaches, and chills from time to time, but no one could help her, but the helpless sadness surged up like a tide, flooding the sky, and wiped her out in an instant .

Liu Quan, who didn't want to force himself to get up and light the lamp, saw the reading on the thermometer vaguely by the moonlight shining into the room through the cracks in the window lattice.

"Heh...it's almost 39 degrees 5 already..." She laughed softly, tucked the thermometer back to the pillow, turned around and lay flat on the bed with her limbs spread out in a big character shape with her eyes wide open. Looking up at the ceiling.

The room was dark, and the ceiling was also pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

However, Liu Quan, who kept his eyes open and looked straight up in the dark, was tortured by high fever and headache and couldn't sleep, but slowly and mechanically raised the corners of his lips, showing a smile.

Thinking back to the last time when I was lying on my back like this, with my limbs spread out, and lying flat in a big character shape, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.

At that time, what did I say.

"Today's sunshine...it's so good..." She squirmed her lips, uttering these words word by word.

Then, without warning, she continued to repeat it word by word.

"This, in this world, there are always some... responsibilities you have to bear... Sometimes, those are responsibilities that only you... can bear..."

...Tezuka-kun...

"You listen to your heart...what you want to pursue the most, make...sacrifice everything for it, and make...that painful effort...isn't such a choice more precious than anything...?"

...Atobe-kun...

In the darkness, she stared blankly at the same pitch-black ceiling.As she spoke, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a big teardrop drilled out from the corner of her eye, passed directly across her temple, and flowed into her temple.

"You can...you don't have to be, the best..., as long as you are... the most special..."

More large teardrops gushed out of her eye sockets without warning, along the corners of her eyes on both sides, slid across her forehead, merged into her temples, shuttled through her hair, and finally flowed to on her pillow.

The turbulent sadness invaded her nerves that were suddenly weakened due to illness in an instant.

"We must work hard to survive... Yes, we have an appointment..."

Is that so?Munakata-senpai?

"Even... when everyone is hopeless, I still have to work hard to survive... because this is my shining virtue..."

She smiled slowly with tears in her eyes.
