Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

It was strange, although he only said such a sentence, but almost in an instant, she quickly realized what he really meant.

The whole face feels stiff.The body also seems to be frozen.There is absolutely no way to move, speak or react.

She just stood there with a blank expression, even holding the empty basket that had not been returned to the owner.

Tufang stared at the ground beside her feet, with a gloomy expression, as if it was extremely difficult to say every word.

"I beg you..."

"……why?!"

Without warning, Liu Quan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

"Don't you clearly know... you clearly know that I escaped from that house!?"

Although the complex background behind "Qingyuan Xueye" is not deeply inked in the relevant knowledge of the original fan works instilled in her mind, but as a su, dark and complicated background, Su Shuang's character is almost three-dimensional and three-dimensional. Speaking, [Dark Past] is undoubtedly a bonus item that adds chips to her.

... From this point of view, the author Jun, who is a master, a master, is to set off the heroine Xiao Qianhe, so he cannon fodder the three-dimensional and eye-catching female supporting role of Su Shuang, who he created himself, without hesitation. Chizuru is true love.

Liu Quan was very surprised that at this moment, his thoughts diverged so endlessly.Probably because the brain was hit by an unexpected blow and suddenly became dazed, unable to contain the chaotic thoughts at all.

...After receiving such a request, visual inspection... Isn't this a sign that Qingyuan Xueye will be cannon fodder again.

Deputy Chief... Could it be that those things you said, that late-night visit when you were sick, that harsh words to Aqin in order to protect me in Tama, that "never die, live to see me" oath , the hand that lightly covers the back of my hand on the hillside outside Liushan, is it all fake?

...no, it's not fake.It's just that no matter how many cannon fodder female supporting roles, they can't catch up with Kondo-san's status in his heart.

Hijikata lowered his eyes, as if he was wronged, and also seemed to lower his head slightly in a gesture of pleading and begging.

"...I'm sorry," he said.

"But...you are my last hope, Qingyuan...no one is willing to help intercede...even to send a message to the other party to ask for negotiation, and to see how harsh the other party intends to put forward before releasing him. ..."

Days of frustration, cold reception, blank stares, and insults poured in, as well as some deep apologies for the girl in front of me, and a sense of powerlessness and self-loathing from having to force her to do terrible things , almost overwhelmed him for an instant.

I actually did this kind of thing...it's impossible to get the other party's forgiveness.

In fact, even he hated himself.At the beginning, no matter what the reason was, he finally left Kondo-kun and let him face the wolf-like Tosa and Sacho from the new government army alone; now, in order to save Kondo-kun, he has been following this Pushing her own girl back into the darkness she had escaped so hard...

However, if... if Kondo-kun can be rescued, it is not impossible to ask him to cut himself into seppuku!If she agreed to help only if he had to give up his own life, he would not hesitate to give his life to her.

Maybe it's because I'm too desperate...Because for a long time, my life has been built on the basis of "supporting Kondo-kun to move to a higher place".

Without Kondo-kun, maybe he is still the son of a drug dealer in the countryside of Tama, who inherited his father's business and sold medicines in nearby villages and towns. When he met those samurai with swords... No, the ronin, they have no power to resist and can only do whatever they want. Being bullied by the opponent; without Kondo-kun, he would not have become one of the leaders of the Mibu wolves that roam Kyoto, he would not have become the deputy chief of Oni, and he would not have become the current man who can attract people with a powerful and dignified posture. A samurai whom others admired, respected, and followed—much less likely to be followed and cared for by her; that must be the case.

Kondo-kun is the foundation of his life from mediocrity to extraordinary.But now, when all the foundations have collapsed, his once glorious life, from a poor villager to the banner step by step, is like a gorgeous castle with its foundation crumbling. It will surely collapse into a pile of ruins in a moment.And the self who has lost all of this should not be worthy of being followed by anyone... and I don't know where my future path will be.

Without Isamu Kondo, what kind of person can he become, what kind of Hijikata Toshizo?Frankly speaking, he is not confident that he can still become the Hijikata Toshizo who is worthy of others to follow, the deputy leader of Oni in the Shinsengumi... However, this is just his own weakness, and it is impossible to tell others.

But... all of this can't be conveyed to her... just like when she turned and left in Toba, Yodo Castle, and Kofu back then, how much I longed to see her come back alive, It's impossible to convey it to her again...

In front of him, the girl slowly sneered.

"Deputy chief...you did this when you were very desperate, right?" She asked lightly.

The earth side was silent for a long time.

"...Yes." He frankly admitted his uselessness and cowardice.

Liu Quan felt that what was happening in front of his eyes was so unreal, it was unbelievable.

"What makes you think that my uncle's words will be useful? You don't even know who he is, what his identity is, and what kind of relationship he has with Changzhou..." she said incredulously with.

Even I myself don't quite know what kind of person is the so-called uncle hidden behind the dark background set by the original author for "Qingyuan Xueye"...How can you have so much confidence in him, deputy chief?Is it the blindness of rushing to the doctor, or the shogunate has completely cut off all his hopes of rescuing Kondo-san?

Hijikata was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head. After making this exaggerated request, his eyes met hers for the first time.There was a deep sadness hidden in his eyes.

"...Because I have no other way to go." He actually admitted this frankly.

Even in the face of adversity, the powerful and wise man who commanded the entire Shinsengumi with confidence and methodical order after order seemed to have disappeared. Now the person standing in front of her is anxious, irritable and dazed. At a loss, with anger at the end of the hero, being abandoned and trampled by both sides of the war at the same time, losing his best leader, brother and friend all the time, wondering where to go in order to win it all back——

Liu Quan's eyebrows slowly furrowed.

She looked at him with a trace of sadness, sympathy and pity gradually, as if she simply gave up arguing with him whether she should go back to the family she hated.The expression on her face also gradually changed from shock and disbelief to calm and indifferent.

"...What if I refuse?" She asked in a low voice, the way of asking seemed to be just a casual chat, not provocative or probing.

Hijikata seemed to choke on her question.He took a deep breath, then looked at her apologetically.

"...Please do this." He whispered, probably because he knew that making other desperate gestures such as bowing or kneeling would irritate her more, so he didn't do that.But there was sadness and determination in his eyes.

"...After that, I am willing to grant your wish." He said through gritted teeth, as if saying such words would kill him. "I can grant you any wish..."

Liu Quan raised his right hand suddenly, preventing him from continuing.

"Really..." She said lightly, it seemed that she was not thinking about his promise at all.

"Don't embarrass yourself, deputy chief?" She actually smiled, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her smile. "I don't want to be a bad subordinate who threatens my general?"

Hijikata: "No... I didn't..."

"...Okay, I promise you." Liu Quan quickly interrupted him and said in a very strange tone.

"But I can't guarantee a good result... because, as I just said, my uncle's family is not that high enough to influence those who really make decisions... But if such an effort can If it makes you feel at ease, then I will do it."

Her tone was soft and cold like snowflakes falling on a frozen lake.

"I will try my best to ask him with all my sincerity... But after that, whether he will be able to exert all his abilities, and whether his influence will be large enough to ensure that the director is released safely... I cannot guarantee this. She said, "I can only promise that I will desperately strive for the best result for the director. Because this is the first time you have sincerely and frankly asked me to do something."

The earth party was silent, and then said briefly: "...Thank you very much."

Liu Quan gave him a subtle look.

"My, uh... 'uncle', is a very dangerous person." She thought for a while, then added lightly, with a hint of warning, "Even I can't figure out where he is standing On one side..."

Hijikata paused before speaking.

"If I remember correctly, you said that you ran out to join the Shinsengumi because you wanted to get rid of uncle's control, right?"

Liu Quan did not answer.

"...Now, for Shinsengumi...no, it should be said, for my own selfish desire, I am very sorry to force you to go back there." Hijikata said, frowning, his face A wry smile full of apology appeared on his face.However, he didn't bow down to apologize - because he knew that doing so would undoubtedly hurt her in front of him.

Liu Quan still did not speak.

A suffocating silence enveloped the room.

After a while, Liu Quan finally raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly.

"...It's nothing. I've already made up my mind about such an ending." She replied lightly.

"I know that it is impossible for me to disguise myself and join the Shinsengumi for a long time... It is everyone's tolerance and protection for me to be able to stay after the truth is exposed. Now, it is time for me to repay the Shinsengumi." Her tone was a little fluctuating at the beginning, but in the end, there were only cold and mechanical emotions left.

From the beginning to the end, although her reaction also had the original intention of following the plot according to the setting of "Kyohara Yukiha", when she suddenly heard that Hijikata really made such a request, she was not without shock.Then came a wave of unbelievable annoyance and frustration.

After fighting for so long, she also obtained some memories and CGs of events that she thought were beautiful. There were moments when she thought she could touch the heart of the deputy chief. However, Kondo's arrest turned all her previous efforts into nothing Nothing.

...So, it turns out that the director is his true love, her biggest rival in love.

Frankly speaking, after Kondo's arrest, it's not that she didn't predict such a possibility—after all, even without her "uncle's house is Changzhou chef" setting, when she attacked Nishi Hongan Temple at night in Kazama At the time, he finally took out a letter that Gao Shan asked him to send to her. Isn't this incident enough to remain deeply in the deputy chief's heart, making him suspicious, shocked and annoyed?He doesn't know that she and Takasugi have met twice in total, does he?In fact, people who have met twice in total, even friends, don't necessarily have to send letters to her at the end of their lives, do they?Moreover, she couldn't explain why she, as a member of the Shinsengumi, let the military commander and naval governor of Changzhou go again and again?

So at first she thought that the problem would be "Takasugi sent her a letter".However, the vice-captain didn't mention it—should it be said that this was the vice-captain's demeanor that would appear in strange places?

Liu Quan finally raised his eyes, and quietly looked back at Tu Fang in front of him.

Although he was the one who made such willful and excessive demands, he now looks like he is in pain, but she, the one who is being troubled, looks extremely calm—maybe it is because she has never really experienced that. The "uncle" in the setting is abused, so it is impossible to empathize with the pain of the real "Qiyohara Yukiha" when facing the same plot.

"Then, I'll take my leave now." She said bluntly, her tone very calm.

"Before I come back, deputy chief, don't die. I'm still waiting to collect the good things you promised to exchange."

Although she was talking about a topic like a joke, her face was expressionless, as numb and indifferent as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

"What kind of wish are you willing to fulfill for me? I'm looking forward to it."

The author has something to say:

February 5:

During the May Day period, I wrote [-] words for the second time. . .Sure enough, when I was in the dark, the deputy chief would be full of energy 【Fog!
