Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

All of you now must be living well, earnestly, and shiningly under the bright and beautiful sunshine.

Those ones that once crossed my heart reminded me instinctively when I was vulnerable or desperate, like a drowning person who caught the driftwood for life, the shining beautiful names—and, having those names that seem to have Boys with beautiful and magical names, those boys who feel that you are shining even when you just say your name-you must all be living very well.

Please be like this.

Please be sure to live well, so that everything I have worked hard for and everything I have given up with pain will be meaningful.

"So... so all of this will pass! Whether it's illness... or the difficulty in front of you..."

Sniffing, the voice of her talking to herself had a distinct nasal sound.

"Because...because I can't stop!! I can't die..."

She suddenly turned over suddenly, facing the left side, her arms tightly hugged together, as if this could stop the chills from attacking her again.

"No one will come to save me... No matter how much I hope, I know... No one will come to save me..."

The names that roll over the tip of the tongue and the bottom of the heart are ultimately just faded images and symbols in memory, that's all.

Because... you are not from the same world, right?It's impossible to expect someone forever, right?

Even if you tremble all over with anticipation, it's useless, right?

She opened her eyes wide and gradually got used to seeing things in the dark. The silhouette of the solitary [Mass-produced Longquan Sword] on the knife rest in front of her eyes slowly emerged in her vision.

She smiled softly and closed her eyes.

Probably after weeping once presumptuously, the negative emotions accumulated in the body also radiated out. This time Liu Quan finally fell into a deep sleep—even though he was troubled by his health, the deep sleep was not too long .

She fell into a deep sleep and had a lot of bizarre dreams.When she suddenly woke up from a dream, she suddenly found that there seemed to be a black silhouette of a person in front of her eyes!

She couldn't believe her eyes for a moment, she blinked several times vigorously, and finally blinked her hazy vision a little clearer; then she realized that the black shadow was actually Earth Fang!

Tufang was sitting beside her couch.When she woke up, Hijikata seemed to be reaching out to touch her forehead.

Surprised by this discovery, the remaining drowsiness in Liu Quan's mind disappeared immediately.She suddenly turned over and propped up her upper body, and the cloth towel covered by someone on her forehead fell onto the tatami with a snap.

Liu Quan just wanted to ask "Why are you here?!", but the cloth towel fell off, blocking her question.

Hijikata also seemed surprised for a moment.His hand froze in mid-air for a moment, then retracted quickly as if scalded by fire, picked up the dropped cloth towel, and rinsed it in a basin of water beside him.

For a while, there was no other sound in the room.

In the end, Liu Quan still asked the question just now.

"Mr. Hijikata...?!" There was undisguised extreme shock and doubt in her voice, "You...how are you here?!"

Tufang was silent for a while, then with a bit of embarrassment, he picked up a cloth towel from the basin, wrung it dry, and handed it to her.

"Take it, then lie down for me and cover it on your forehead!" He lowered his voice and shouted displeased.

Liu Quan: ...Ah, physical cooling...?

She quickly understood what the deputy chief meant, so she lay down on her back as she said, put the cloth towel on her forehead, and stretched out her hand to pull the quilt to her chin, covering her tightly, and then in the dark Take a look at the deputy chief who appeared here at some time, which is equivalent to breaking into a woman's boudoir at night.

Earthworks look even more unnatural.

"I heard you're sick..." He coughed and cleared his throat. "I was busy all the time, so I asked Saito to come over and take a look. He went back and said that you have rested..."

Liu Quan was a little surprised.

Has Little One been here too?She tossed and turned countless times between sleeping and waking, why didn't she notice that Xiao Yi had come?Maybe it was because she was really uncomfortable when she was drowsy, so she didn't pay more attention to the situation outside the door?Did he just stand outside the door and observe the situation?That's right, a clumsy, silent man like Xiao Yi couldn't have broken into a girl's room in the middle of the night like the deputy chief...

Even when he was sick, the active skill of [Deputy Chief of Shunkou Tucao] still popped up.

But now that her blood and blue bars are almost zero, she dare not taunt the deputy chief at this time.So she just nodded and responded casually: "...that's right."

The deputy chief seemed to be even more embarrassed, and coughed again.

"Cough...so it's so late, and it's inconvenient to call Yamazaki to see what's going on...Xuecun has already rested, and he can't be called around casually..." His tone seemed to be a little sluggish and half-said Explaining, half describing the situation.

Liu Quan: ...Hmph, I'm so happy.Anyway, in your eyes, little Qianhe is a delicate flower that cannot be bothered and disturbed at will, and must be well protected.You haven't forgotten that little Qianhe still has the title of "deputy chief's surname", right? !How embarrassing is it for you to be the deputy head of the Xinxuan group and ask your surname to come and take care of the important cadres of the Xinsen group? !

As if subtly (?) sensing the stagnation of the atmosphere in the room, Hijikata coughed again.

"Cough, anyway... I just finished my work, I don't know how you are doing here after so long, I thought I'd better come over and take a look before going to bed... But I saw that you are as hot as roasted chestnuts just out of the oven Same, it’s not something that can be left alone...so..."

The deputy chief was talking, and finally stopped probably because he felt that he had exceeded the bottom line of his shame, and glared at her angrily.

Although the brain was still dizzy from the high fever, the cold, water-soaked cloth covering his forehead miraculously dispelled the sharp pain that seemed to split his head in half.

Liu Quan couldn't help pulling up the corners of his lips, and smiled slightly.

...Deputy Commander, since it's so late, it's inconvenient to ask Yamazaki to come here, so you just ran here by yourself.Do you know medical skills, can you take care of patients?You are awkward, arrogant and love to blow hair, and you also like to write letters to your home to show off the love letters written by the girls who admire you all over the desk, all day long [I am going to change this country. So] How can you be stumbled by such a boring thing as love! ] look; a person like you, who just came here to visit the sick, wouldn't you worry about your painting style being OOC? !

"I'm almost ready, so go to sleep, Hijikata-san."

In the dark, her voice was hoarse due to illness, and she said this to him in an unusually gentle tone.

"Being taken care of by Hijikata-san, I'm sure you'll be fine tomorrow morning. This is a special time, isn't the situation in Kyoto very dangerous...? It would be bad if Hijikata-san collapsed from exhaustion at this time... So, Hijikata-san, hurry up Go and rest."

She used a brisk and cunning tone, a straightforward and frank tone, a cheerful and healthy tone, and even a confident and heroic tone, but she seldom spoke in such a gentle and quiet tone that was indescribable, so he was stunned for a moment. .

In the dark, this kind of gentle tone seems to be heard more clearly, like a night of fine rain, and the weather finally cleared up before dawn. In the faint morning light, there are accumulated raindrops dripping from the eaves The corners dripped, making a clear ding-dong sound.

Before he could speak, he heard her cough again.

He immediately became alert and reached out to touch her forehead.

"Stop talking! What's the matter with one or two coughing so strangely?! If you're sick, you should have a good rest! Let Yamazaki come early tomorrow morning to show you what's going on... No, maybe you should call Chizuru Come?"

The deputy chief began to mutter again.The smile made Liu Quan's throat itch, but she didn't dare to cough anymore.Because she knew that the symptom of coughing would become the deputy chief's weakness, and it would explode when she stepped on it——

"Mr. Hijikata," she had to raise her voice a little bit, and turned her face to look at Hijikata who was still kneeling beside her, "I'm just an ordinary cold, not the same as Souji-kun. So, I will Get well soon."

The voice of Hijikata's broken thoughts suddenly stopped.He froze for a moment, then exploded with a bang.

"Who, who said that you have the same illness as that guy from the chief executive!! Just, even if it is a cold, you have to see a doctor and take medicine to get better quickly! Ah~ah, your team is really troublesome! People are so worrying! Get well soon, even if Saito is back now, there are still a lot of things to do, he doesn't have time to take care of your team, you know!"

Liu Quan was taken aback, "Has it been decided yet?... Yijun has officially returned to the Shinsengumi, so he doesn't need to go to the Imperial Tomb Guard anymore?"

As if surprised that she was ill and brought up business without warning, Hijikata choked for a moment before replying: "...Ah. It's already too dangerous over there, and the most important information has already been obtained. Without Saito The value of staying."

As if a surge of anger was suffocating in his chest, the deputy chief paused for a moment, and suddenly began to describe what happened after Saito returned to the garrison, as if he wanted a tree hole.

"...Therefore, a meeting was held immediately. If you don't attend, you have to call the director-general, lest your team be absent because of this..."

"Ito has teamed up with Satsuma. They are obviously taking hostile actions against the Shinsengumi. Rumors like 'Harada's scabbard was thrown at the scene of Sakamoto Ryoma's assassination, so the assassination was done by the Shinsengumi', It was also Ito and the others who spread the word."

The deputy chief's voice sank, obviously enduring great anger.

"In order to completely attack the shogunate, he plans to announce the existence of the Rakshasa team to the world. And...! The biggest imminent crisis is that they plan to assassinate Kondo-kun in the near future!!"

Liu Quan didn’t know this kind of inside story—even if he saw it in the article, he would have forgotten it—so now his eyes widened in surprise, but fortunately he still remembered the identity of his patient and did not turn over and sit up .

"What?! Assassinate Mr. Kondo?!"

There was anger in Hijikata's voice.

"...Therefore, Ito can only die."

"This is the final decision of the meeting."

... The change of Yukoji! !

This historical term flashed through Liu Quan's mind which was not very clear because of the fever.

Of course she knew that the reason for the change in Aburokōji was that the Shinsengumi was determined to wipe out the Imperial Tomb Guards, so she first assassinated Kokotaro Ito, and then lay in ambush and waited for the rest of the Imperial Tomb Guards who came to collect Ito to arrive at Aurokoji, and then a fierce battle broke out, resulting in ...resulting in the death of Fujido Heisuke!

She could no longer lie flat on the bed peacefully and ask and answer the Tufang, and suddenly turned over and sat up.

... As a result, as soon as he sat up, he became dizzy due to the fever, a sharp pain rushed through his mind, his eyes went dark, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell back without a bang.

Fortunately, Tufang reached out to help her in time.

His palm rested on her shoulder, and even through two layers of fabric—she was chilled because of a fever, so she wore some more when she slept—she could still feel the warmth from his palm, which belonged to her. The temperature of others made her shiver suddenly.

"Su, why did you sit up all of a sudden!" The deputy chief who was probably taken aback roared angrily, "Do you have any objection to this!"

Liu Quan didn't care about arguing with him, and asked eagerly, "When is the action scheduled?"

Tu Fang was taken aback.

"What? You still want to participate in the assassination of Ito with your appearance?" He said angrily, "You too, and the chief executive too, one or two are still worrying at a time like this!! You just stay together Let’s talk about it after recuperating in the garrison!”

Liu Quan didn't care to talk to the deputy chief, and said anxiously: "No...whether it's about dealing with Ito or the arrangement of the operation, of course you and Mr. Kondo must follow! I just want to know, the operation arrangement On which day? After assassinating Ito, the Imperial Tomb Guards must also be purged, right? So... what will Heisuke-kun do?"

Her last question caused the earthworker to suddenly fall silent.After a long pause, he replied in a deep voice: "... If he wants to resist us, then we have to wipe him out together."

Following the declaration, the hand on her shoulder seemed to involuntarily increase its strength, and it hurt her thin shoulder.

Feeling the pain and frustration of the deputy chief at the moment from his shoulder, Liu Quan hesitated, stretched out a hand and patted the back of the deputy chief's hand that was supporting his shoulder.

"The situation...isn't that bad? Hirasuke-kun just hasn't figured it out yet...He won't rebel against the Shinsengumi because of this, because everyone has been together since the poor dojo in the Tama countryside... ...Didn't Mr. Hijikata tell me about this? Such a deep bond can be said to disappear, right?!"

The earth side did not speak.

Of course Liu Quan knew about this intricate relationship - the endless hatred with Ito, the friendship with Heisuke who has been fighting together since the beginning of the test guard, Ito's plot to assassinate Kondo, Heisuke's own thoughts, and the eradication of traitors The entanglement with saving his companions, and even the conflict between the various situations and the in-game rules formulated by the earthwork, what to do if someone betrays and leaves the Shinsengumi if Hirasuke is let go-all of these Everything cannot be solved with a simple sentence.

Maybe this is the reason why the earth is suffering.
