Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

"...It's not like this!" Liu Quan shouted loudly.

"Mr. Kondo...is a person with great ambitions. How can such an idea be wrong to assist such a person to become a person who can change this era and contribute to this country!" Said suspiciously.

However, the earth side completely ignored her persuasion.His back is sad and lonely, and his tone contains strong pain.

"Heh... assistant?! Is this how I treat my master...?! When something big happens, I will just ignore the master and leave him in danger..."

His voice trembled, with obvious tears.

"Kondo-kun... He kept saying that he wanted to be a loyal general like Emperor Guan Sheng... Then I thought, when the time comes, I will be a more loyal subordinate next to a loyal minister and good general, and watch him make achievements... ...But now! Why should I obey his orders... If there is no general, I will be useless as a subordinate?! What is wrong in the end-"

Liu Quan felt that he could not listen anymore.

"...If there is something wrong, then...it is also the fault of this era! This era is changing...and it has become unable to tolerate those noble and beautiful things! Those...those former big men have long since started from their own hearts. However, as a samurai and a loyal subject, Mr. Kondo wants to fulfill his responsibilities no matter what, and bear all this for the lord and his subordinates...! The superior is worthy of the lord, and the subordinate is not Negative subordinates... Isn't this the best character of those famous generals from ancient times to the present?!"

I didn't want to say these words.Because no matter how much you talk about it, it won't help.But these words gushed out of my heart like a tide, and I couldn't stop them at all.

Hijikata's shoulders trembled, as if he finally listened a little bit to what she said.

However, after being silent for a while, when he spoke again, it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted.The bleakness revealed in his desolate and fragile back hit Liu Quan's heart in an instant.

"The dream of pushing that person... to push that person to the top is the reason I have been fighting..."

"In the end I... simply abandoned him!!"

He roared suddenly, his voice hoarse and sharp, as if his entire body had been torn apart by the huge self-blame and grief.

"I...Isn't this the same as Lord General, abandoning someone who absolutely shouldn't be abandoning, and I am the only one who survives!!"

"I'm like this... What's the point of living in this world?!"

His voice broke.

Standing behind the ghost's deputy leader who finally showed his fragile side, as if his previous strength was an illusion, Liu Quan looked at his back that was almost curled up in pain, and for some reason, his eyes suddenly became moist.

She suddenly felt that she could no longer just stand so far away from him in a daze, just watching this man enduring the heart-piercing pain alone.

Although when she looked up at him, she always carried much more complicated emotions than in the previous two worlds, but at this moment, those hesitating and lingering concerns seemed to disappear suddenly.Liu Quan subconsciously stepped forward and rushed up, and hugged him from behind without hesitation.

Hijikata's back suddenly stiffened for a moment.

"It doesn't make sense to say anything... Can't you see that your life doesn't belong to you now?!"

Liu Quan wrapped his arms around Tufang's waist, pressed his forehead against his back, and spoke forcefully.

"Your chance to live in this world is what Mr. Kondo would rather give up everything in exchange for it. Because he has deeper expectations for you... If you don't live up to the expectations of such a person, you will be disappointed Mr. Kondo's painstaking efforts!"

"If you do this, you are truly sorry for Mr. Kondo!"

"You, Mr. Kondo left Tama to go to Beijing, why?! Isn't it because you want to prove that belief is not important?!"

"You, don't you continue to live to realize Mr. Kondo's beliefs?! If you leave Mr. Kondo, will you also abandon his beliefs?! Don't you want to continue?! Your following Mr. Kondo Only here?!"

Contrary to the gentle movement of hugging him around the waist, she spat out harsh words.

In fact... Even if she said it so naturally, she also understood that she was talking beautifully.

All he could do was to say some nice words—nothing else he could do could undo all of this, and nothing he could do could truly dispel the pain in his heart at the moment.

...What can I do to support this person?Like what Kondo asked himself to do earlier today?

"I believe Mr. Hijikata will understand these things. Just as Mr. Kondo deeply believes that Mr. Hijikata will understand."

She suddenly softened her voice without warning, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, that soft and beautiful voice sounded extraordinarily peaceful and clear.

"Mr. Hijikata is the person Mr. Kondo trusts the most. He trusts you more than anyone else in this world... What he entrusts to you is something that he considers more important than his own life——Is it true that you don't understand? , Mr. Hijikata?!"

The earth side was silent for a long time.

When more than half of the setting sun had fallen below the distant horizon, Liu Quan suddenly felt that Hijikata's left hand slowly stretched out, gently covering her arms around his waist.

The fingertips were cold and trembling slightly.The fingertips seemed to touch her hand cautiously, and then the whole hand gently covered the back of her hand, as if it didn't use any force, but it didn't move away either.

In a place she couldn't see, he slowly closed his eyes, his face drooped slightly, and the side of his cheeks stretched out vigorously, as if he was still trying to stand up straight while enduring great pain.

She just stood quietly behind him, motionless, with her forehead resting on his broad and solid back, and her hands wrapped around his waist, as if she was supporting him gently.

The evening wind was blowing from the other end of the woods, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air; the last afterglow of the setting sun fell gently on the two of them, drawing their silhouettes into warm orange-red lines.

Beyond the horizon they were facing, the sun had completely set.

……

Later, after reuniting with Shimada and Saito, Hijikata decided to take the risk of sneaking back to Edo to seek the help of those big figures in the shogunate, hoping that after their negotiations, intercession or exchange of interests, Kondo could be released safely .

Since this operation was secret, it would be very dangerous if the new government forces found out their identities, so Hijikata decided to sneak back to Edo alone, leaving Saito and Shimada and other cadres to lead the Shinsengumi.

However, as the acting team leader, Liu Quan strongly demanded to go to Edo with him.

...Of course, this request was eventually granted.

After arriving in Edo, Hijikata went out every day to visit all the people he could think of, who might be able to help, so that Kondo could be released safely.The important ministers of the shogunate, people who are related to or can be talked to by the high-level shogunate, he knows, he is not familiar with... no one is willing to let go, and he wants to seize even the slightest opportunity.

This desperate attitude made Liu Quan, who followed him to Edo, feel pain, but he couldn't show it.

She knew very well in her heart that all the efforts of the earth side, running, pleading and lobbying... were useless.

No one will help him.For the precarious and declining shogunate, since Satsuma, Changshu, and the ally Tosa hated the shogunate who dared to murder Sakamoto Ryoma at the beginning, they pushed out Kondo to take the blame and gave themselves a little time to survive. what relationship.

The shogunate has reached the moment when it will resort to unscrupulous means, immorality, and everything to survive.And Kondo was the arm that the shogunate planned to cut off.

But she couldn't stop Earth's efforts.She could only put on a smiling face to thank and condolence him for his futile running every day, as if she still firmly believed that this method would be useful.

...Speaking of which, why did he agree to her request to come to Edo with him?

His original order was to let her, Saito, Shimada and others leave first, and as the cadres of the newly selected group, reorganize the team members who escaped safely, and lead the large force to move on.But she was worried about him at the time—Kondo, who had just reluctantly regarded him as her brother and leader, and made it one of her goals in life, was left alone among a group of wolves and tigers, and escaped from the earthwork of the Jinzi mansion by herself. She did this in accordance with Kondo's death order, but this kind of behavior is tantamount to destroying her own three views and life wishes. If she allows him to go to Edo alone to run for Kondo's release, it will be difficult for her to fight against him. It is unimaginable what will happen to the spiritual world that has been destroyed by oneself and has already collapsed.

So for the first time, she publicly disobeyed his order as the deputy chief, and desperately demanded to come to Edo with him.

Although her attitude was very firm, her reason at the time was—"If the deputy chief goes on the road alone, in this turbulent time, I don't worry about the safety of the deputy chief; the Shinsengumi must not lose the deputy chief here again" ——It’s actually a very weak excuse.During the first battle in Kofu, didn't the Hijikata leave the main force and go to ask for help on their own?Later, even though he lost the battle in Kofu, Hijikata returned safely.

...But maybe because he didn't want to shake the morale of the Ping soldiers by arguing with the important cadres in the group as the deputy chief at the moment when the Shinsengumi suddenly lost the director, the earth side did not strictly reject her to the end.After saying "No, you have to take the responsibility of temporarily leading the Shinsengumi together with Saito and Shimada", when she repeated her determination to go to Edo with him, he just had a very ugly face Sighing deeply, then, with a contorted expression, miraculously made a concession, and reluctantly agreed to her request.

The author has something to say:

February 4:

Went outside all day yesterday. . .So tired QAQ

Well, according to my outline, tomorrow I can play a bad plot that is enough to shake everyone's favor with the deputy chief [No

Then comes the hidden setting!Although it was said today that "this idiot's journal makes people want to vomit", the author will not stop poisoning www

Then, it’s such an important plot (there is also a super emotional CG here in the original work), so there must be a BGM [not

[Soundtrack for this chapter]: ED of the Hijikata chapter of "Hakouki Yukikaro", "Mami-thelightlasting-".

Because it is the character song of the deputy chief, the lyrics are also very touching. Little angels can go to Netease Cloud Music to have a look at the lyrics. There is a Chinese translation~~ I won’t post it here because it’s too long.

Since JJ doesn't let you post the link now, if you try to listen online, you can only trouble everyone to search by yourself, sorry for the inconvenience~~
