Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Kondo, Hijikata, Shinpachi, Harada and others were warmly received by the local people in their hometown of Tama when they marched through the vicinity of Hino when they marched out of Kofu.

I heard that not long ago, the general officially conferred official positions on Kondo and Hijikata. Kondo was named "Wakinen Yoge", which is considered a low-paying daimyo; As Okita said when he mocked him that day, he became Master Banner.

The villagers of Tama are very enthusiastic. Seeing Kondo and Hijikata, there is no such thing as the residents in Kyoto who respect and fear the Shinsengumi, and have complicated emotions-they just think that the poor dojo master and the son of a drug dealer in the Tama countryside Having made a name for himself in the capital, and now he has become the master of Banner, this is a great joy, it can be called the light of Tama, so a grand banquet was arranged to celebrate in the evening.

Of course, the atmosphere during the banquet was so enthusiastic that it could almost blow off the roof of the hall.Everyone stood up in unison, danced and shouted the slogan "Shinsengumi, neon number one!" The scene was funny and warm, and Liu Quan, who was attending as an attendant, almost collapsed and laughed vividly.

Of course, Kondo was very moved by this scene.He grinned and stepped down from the chief to join the dancers, dancing and shaking together.

Since the job title reported was "Shinsengumi Ichibaku Acting Team Leader", Liu Quan's seat was next to Hijikata.Shinpachi and Harada were seated under Kondo on the other side, and the two of them winked at Liu Quan across the aisle and made a gesture of coming over to toast.

Liu Quan glared at them fiercely, took a piece of sushi with chopsticks, carefully avoided two or three enthusiastic neighbors who came to toast her, and just wanted to see if the deputy chief was also in the mood to share the joy with the people. Seeing that Tufang was also surrounded by several neighbors who came forward to toast.

Tufang had been drinking quietly before—yes, Liu Quan noticed that he seemed to be drinking more wine than eating food, and the expression on his face was also a little tense, as if he was saying, "At the moment of the war, this is not When you can have fun with peace of mind!"—but now seeing the neighbors he knew before coming over, he still showed a very happy expression.

Everyone happily drank two glasses of wine, and chatted about some topics such as what they saw after the farewell, and some people talked about what their former acquaintances are doing now after Kondo and Hijikata left Tama.

"Mr. Hijikata, you are Tama's pride!"

A middle-aged man said with a bright face.

Hijikata also seemed to have a smile on his face because of such straightforward love and praise.

"Speaking of which, the general gave Kondo-kun and me new names. Kondo-kun is now called Okubo Yamato, and I am now called Naito Hayato-Hayato, but it is the name of a brave man passed down from generation to generation in the Hijikata family. "

Another slightly older man asked in amazement: "Naito?!...Ah, I heard that if you want to become Master Banner, the General will give you a new name. Your status is different..."

The middle-aged man who praised Hijikata waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

"Oh... I always think it's a hard name to remember. The nobleman's name is really unusual! Let's call you Mr. Hijikata here. It's really unexpected that the Hijikata family has a talent like you... "

The people on the side echoed enthusiastically.

"We also gathered the people around here! We want to go with you. The people here in Tama also want to help you as much as possible."

"We have already thought of a name, let's call it—Chunri Team!"

"It will definitely come in handy! We will do our best!"

"Because this is the pride of our Tama! Mr. Kondo and Mr. Hijikata!"

Hijikata seemed to be infected by the simple and straightforward enthusiasm of the neighbors. A gentle and gratified smile floated on the corner of his lips. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much! Let us fight side by side together."

After obtaining the permission of the earthwork, everyone cheered up, and there was a burst of whispering.

Then the topic becomes more messy.

"The boy from the grocery store at the end of the street also said that he would join our Kasuga team! The little guy who was only 13 years old when the Shinsengumi went to Beijing can now follow in your footsteps!"

"Zhou Zhu-kun really raised a good son! The test guard hall will become the No. [-] neon dojo in the future! Because it is the dojo of Isamu Kondo!"

"Ah, come to think of it! The eldest lady of that shamisen shop, Aqin, got married last month!"

The hand holding the wine glass and about to drink suddenly stopped.

Liu Quan:? !

The middle-aged man who broke out the gossip must have drunk too much, and said with a slurred speech: "It's true~ I married a wealthy family that is second to none in Tama..."

Seemingly seeing that Hijikata didn't blow his hair, the others laughed and joked because they were a little drunk.

"Is it a bit regrettable, Mr. Hijikata?"

Liu Quan: ...! ! !

"It would be great if I agreed to it during the blind date back then... Isn't Aqin the number one beauty here in Tama... No wonder she can still marry into that kind of rich family at this age..."

Everyone talked in a hurry.

Tufang suddenly snorted.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter." He said lightly, taking a sip of his wine.

Liu Quan: ...There must be a situation, right? !What kind of world is this world? Isn't the malicious index towards players off the charts? !If you go on like this, the boat of our friendship will capsize! !Why did I just push out a thousand cranes, and now another Aqin pops up when I pass by Tama? !

Everyone is still laughing hahaha.

"Mr. Hijikata is someone who does great things... If he stayed here back then and married Aqin, then he wouldn't be the master of Banner now..." Finally, someone felt the faint low pressure above Hijikata's head and Came out to smooth things over.

Liu Quan: ...Very well, I don't need an explanation of the system bacteria now, and I can guess what kind of dog blood it is.Thanks to these passerby NPCs who have the function of explaining background events!

The earthwork smiled lightly, and stood up suddenly.

"I'm not used to drinking too much wine. I'm going out to get some air." He said perfunctorily, bypassing the small table and the group of non-winkling neighbors, and walked straight out through the hall.

Liu Quan: ...Ah, the deputy chief has escaped.It seems that this incident is one of the world malice that is not friendly to players.Would you like to inquire about the details?Or just let it go?After all, it sounds like the heroine of the incident was the one who was rejected by the deputy chief, and now she has become a man/wife. The deputy chief does not have the special habit of climbing other people's walls, so the name of this woman should be able to be read from the player's special vigilance. Cross it off the list.

After sitting in the hall for a few minutes, Liu Quan suddenly pushed the small table in front of him and stood up.

... No, I always feel that I still really mind!You have to go out and have a look, and listen to the deputy chief's words!

However, after entering the courtyard, Liu Quan was attracted by the night sky tonight.

For some reason, I feel that the night sky here is particularly lofty and clear. A round of bright moon hangs high in a corner, and the gentle brilliance fills the entire small courtyard.There was a faint scent of green grass in the air.

...It must be the last quiet and beautiful night, such a night.

In an instant, Liu Quan suddenly recalled the scene. It was strange that it was a long time ago, when he first came to this game, he practiced hard every night in that secluded private tennis court in order to improve his stats.

At that time, it was always under such a high night sky, with a bright moon above my head, and I was often the only one sweating profusely in that tennis court, and the tennis balls hitting all parts of the court made monotonous and regular banging sounds .

Of course, later, in that stadium, plots/events will also be triggered.For example [Tezuka's Special Training] or [Atobe's Preaching] and so on - because thinking of this, Liu Quan's lips could not help showing a soft smile.

It's really nostalgic... Those teenagers who ran towards the pinnacle of tennis in those years?

Such an encounter, no matter when and where you think of it, it will warm your heart, right?

Especially in the face of the killing battlefield after tomorrow and the series of life and death partings, I feel that such encounters and such friendships are so beautiful.

What are they doing now.Have you realized your dream of going to the highest peak of tennis, or are you trying your best to win in the four Grand Slams?

Although it will never be possible to be under the same sky again, perhaps we have looked up at the same bright and quiet night sky and bright moon together at some point.

In this way, it is already good.Knowing that the world you live in will go on forever, that you will pursue your dreams forever in that peaceful and beautiful world, feels strangely healed, too.

Liu Quan looked up at the night sky, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm and nostalgic smile.

One day all this will be a thing of the past.Even the stars and the moon and the quiet night we see are the same.However, what remains unchanged is that the years we have gone through together, whether it is sad, difficult or happy, are all the journeys we have experienced in burning our lives.

It is the best journey.

"Tezuka-kun..." she said unconsciously, "What if...you are facing a formidable and invincible opponent? So what?"

Repeating the question from back then, she didn't want to seek any special answer from that familiar voice in the void, it sounded more like a sigh.

Then, she stood in the courtyard and looked up at the night sky, without moving for a long time.

...until she seemed to hear a woman's voice coming from behind a small door in the corner of the courtyard.

"I know you've returned to Tama."

"However...but you have become a bad person!"

Liu Quan's attention was instantly attracted.

...Back to Tama? !

She suddenly turned her head to look at the brightly lit hall, which was still in the midst of a feast, like a conditioned reflex.

Kondo's laughter and dissonant singing came faintly.Probably still dancing strange dances with those neighbors who haven't seen each other for a long time.

Could it be... Shinpachi or Harada? !

However, when she came out to breathe, Shinpachi and Harada were still drinking and chatting in the hall.

... Of those who returned to Tama, only one was not there.

A certain impulse surged up in an instant, Liu Quan moved quietly, and tiptoed towards the small door.

The small door is actually two thin wooden boards, which looks more like it was set up to separate the two courtyards, and has no actual function.Therefore, the closer the voice of the woman behind the door was to the door, the more clearly it could be heard.

"I've heard all about it." The woman's voice became more and more excited.

"What good deed did your Shinsengumi do in the capital? You killed countless rogues. At the beginning, the companions who left Tama together, and the companions who joined you later... were all eliminated for one reason or another! Kill as you say! , don't talk about affection at all..."

The woman's voice trembled.

"Companions...is this how they should kill each other?!" There were strong tears in her voice.Then, as if she suddenly felt that it was ridiculous to be so excited, she burst out laughing with tears in her eyes.

"...But, I don't think it's surprising. Because that's the kind of person you are... At the beginning, it was the same. You left as soon as you said you would, without showing any affection... The marriage contract was also terminated casually. ..."

engagement? !

This keyword was like a cannonball, hitting Liu Quan's Tianling Gai with a bang.

And yet the woman who threw out the explosive lines continued.

"That's what everyone says... If only the Shinsengumi worked harder! Then the General wouldn't be in the situation he is today!"

Liu Quan decided that he could not listen anymore.

She pushed the little door lightly.The old wooden door creaked.

With her hands clasped, she calmly walked out from behind the door she was hiding in.

"It seems to have heard an extraordinary speech..." She said this, without deliberately hiding her clear feminine voice.

The two people in the courtyard over there turned to the direction of her voice for an instant.

Sure enough, it was the deputy chief and a young woman.

...No, although she is a young woman, she definitely looks a few years older than Yanagi Izumi, but closer to Hijikata's age.

Since she wanted to observe her rival in love, Liu Quan would of course adjust her stats (?) to the highest limit and invest in it——she quickly saw that when the young woman turned around, there was still a hidden danger hidden in her gaze. The kind of love-hate emotion that was too late to take back.

So Liu Quan felt that his anger gauge had a tendency to be filled up in an instant.Although she knew it was wrong, it was difficult to control her subconscious reaction.

So she smiled even brighter.And completely put away the skill of pretending to be a man—no, it's better to say that she deliberately exposed her feminine side to the young woman who accused the deputy chief.

"It's really funny... Eldest sister, do you think Mr. Kondo is the old middleman, or Mr. Hijikata is the daimyo?" She asked with a smile, her voice was sweet.

"You expect Kondo-san and Hijikata-san to do things that the lords of the Aizu and Kuwana domains can't stop?! Is it really touching that everyone in your hometown has such confidence in the Shinsengumi?"

Hijikata's complexion changed.
