Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Faced with such a powerful spirit, Hijikata blinked his eyes as if at a loss.

Liu Quan had no intention of letting him go so easily.

"Since you can solve all the problems by yourself, then what are we Shinsengumi's subordinates!"

"We... those who are willing to follow you all the time, what do you think?!"

"Can you please consider the mood of the bystanders?!"

As she spoke, she felt out of breath for a while, and was so annoyed that she almost wanted to grab him and shake him hard!

"You plan to bear all the pain alone like this, just leave me aside?!"

"What problems do you think you can solve by yourself? Dismiss your subordinates? I have been following you since Kyoto six years ago, drawing my sword without hesitation, supporting and trusting you without hesitation, Executing every order of yours... All of this, is it just to make you dismiss me at this time?!"

Hijikata took a breath in surprise.For a moment he seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back.

"At that time, I didn't argue because I thought you would treat me like an ordinary Shinsengumi player. I naively thought that one day you would figure it out and know what the Shinsengumi gave me. Faith and courage are etched into my body and it doesn't change because I'm a man or a woman..."

Liu Quan pressed on step by step.

"I thought that one day you could experience this feeling."

"In the end, what you asked me to do was to overthrow the best life I have lived on all this time, and to abandon those things that I would not give up even if I risked my life..."

"...Then I finally understood that you gave me an order that I must not follow without authorization. If I accept it like this, I will run away."

"...I don't want to be harami because of this kind of thing, damn it!"

Liu Quan yelled out, gritted his teeth, and disobedient tears swirled in his eyes.She had to use all her strength before she could bear it so that it wouldn't fall down now.

A fleeting wry smile appeared on Hijikata's face.

"...There is no law in the game anymore, what are you still obstinately following...?"

His tone sounded like a whisper.

"So many people have already left, why...why do you come back?!"

Liu Quan's hands were hanging by his sides, clenched into fists.

"...I'm not following the law in the game, I'm pursuing the belief brought to me by Mr. Hijikata!"

"Those guys who are so easily shaken, let them go if they want to go!" She burst out with great courage and shouted at him.

"I just know I have to come back! Because Hijikata-san and everything you have always represented is what I believe in...!"

"So I have exhausted all means, and I must come back to merge."

She stared at him, her unyielding eyes met his firmly.

"I can ask Otori-kun for a hundred and one thousand copies of the appointment letter. In fact, Otori-kun was still worrying about whether he should give me a higher position."

"But what position or letter of appointment is actually not important. I violated your order and came here because I wanted to follow my heart."

"Because the courage and faith I gained from the Shinsengumi will not disappear just because you let me go away."

"You asked me to be a woman and live a peaceful life. No matter how much I respect you, I can't obey this order."

"Because I didn't live in this world just to be an ordinary woman peacefully."

Earthwork:! ! !

He seemed to have been completely silenced by her rising aura.

In the past, at the meeting with those big figures in the shogunate, and now with those high-level figures in the newly established Ezo Republic, he who has been fighting for reason and insisting on his beliefs to the end, without caring about the face and taboos of the other party, now But he was knocked down step by step by his former subordinates only by words. This is a very rare thing for the deputy chief of Oni in the Shinsengumi.

"Ordinary women will not dress up as men to join the Shinsengumi. They will not draw their swords again and again, accept tasks like Shiban, and fight to the end with the Shinsengumi for their beliefs."

In her heart, she wondered if the original [Qing Yuan Xue Ye]'s persona had merged with her current self.Hearing his own voice, Liu Quan substituted the setting of [Qing Yuan Xue Ye], but he spoke very smoothly and naturally, without the difficulty and suffocation of [I have to adapt to the situation in order to write handsome lines].

Perhaps, that is the highest sincerity she can show.

"You said you couldn't give me happiness. But you probably don't know that the happiest time in my life was spent in Shinsengumi."

"...The time spent with everyone, no matter how difficult it is, I feel so beautiful... No matter how serious the injury is, I don't think it is pain."

A nostalgic smile slowly appeared on her face.

"So, I've come to my senses. Whether it's as a small surname or as a team player, I will never take half a step back this time."

"I will never leave Mr. Hijikata's side. I will always support Mr. Hijikata. The direction of Mr. Hijikata's efforts is also my direction. Please let me witness what Mr. Hijikata wants to witness."

"You can throw me out of this room now. But I will never leave again. Maybe tomorrow you will find me in some place where you are likely to be, whether it is the office, the training ground, and those The banquet you hate... oh yes, and the battlefield."

"...In short, there is only one thing, and I will never listen to you."

"Because this is the task I accepted from Director Kondo. ... No, if Director Kondo hadn't agreed with me like this, I would still do it resolutely."

"Because my heart told me that if I didn't do it, my life wouldn't mean anything."

"...If I don't do this, my life is not worth continuing."

She pursed her lips stubbornly, stared directly at Hijikata with piercing eyes, her body was tense, and her hands clenched into fists, as if expressing her strong determination not to look back.

...It is still the same woman who, on the streets of Kyoto, drew her sword without hesitation in the face of the rogues, and fought bravely like a man.

Although he has weaknesses, inferior in physical strength, inferior in swordsmanship, thinner than human body, weaker than human body, with a dark past, inexplicable secrets, and unspeakable truths...but he still works hard to move forward that woman.

She stood in front of him with her back straight like this, with strong belief and unhesitating determination in her eyes, as if she was saying silently: I don't need you to protect me, I just need a chance like before , to be able to fight side by side with you, to defend the common ideals in our hearts, and to witness the last flash of the Shinsengumi——

Hijikata's face was tense, and his facial features were condensed into stern lines.For a long time, there was not much opportunity for others to change his opinion on the things that the Deputy Chief Oni of the Shinsengumi had already determined.

But Kiyohara Yukiha would never shrink back because of this.

She didn't know what kind of woman he really needed and suitable for him in his heart.She didn't know whether she met the standard of such a woman in his mind.

She didn't know if she was qualified to stay in such a stalking manner in his heart.

But she has absolute tenacity—the tenacity of being a member of the Shinsengumi, and she wants to continue to the last moment of her life with her own beliefs and the persistence of what she believes in.

But it was rejected again.However, since before, although she has the appearance of [Deputy Chef], she has never been a [-]% obedient and docile subordinate, okay?It made the deputy chief headache and troubled—hasn't their first team always had this style of painting?

Even if you are rejected indifferently again, you will never take a half step back.

Even if she is left behind again, she will never numbly and calmly accept the life he presumptuously arranged for her.

A wry smile slowly appeared on Hijikata's face, and he sighed softly.

"I knew it……"

His tone softened.

"The fearless eyes have always been my hard work..."

He suddenly walked up to Liu Quan without warning, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then stretched out his hand towards her.

The rough fingertips from holding the knife for a long time gently slid across her cheeks, staying under her eyes, gently stroking the tender skin under her eyes.

This gentle touch made Liu Quan's nose sore almost instantly.

She gritted her teeth and looked directly at the Deputy Chief of the Shinsengumi who had never been so close to her.

"Such courageous, powerful, sincere eyes..." he said softly.

"...It really makes people want to listen to you."

His following words hit Liu Quan right in the heart.

Liu Quan felt as if he had been hit hard in an instant.

"Earth, earthwork... sir?!"

In the next second, his hand slid down her face, brushed over her shoulder, and pulled her tightly into his arms.

"Really...you only call me 'Mr. Hijikata' when you want me to grant your request?" He leaned his cheek against her hair, with a gentle smile in his tone, Said jokingly.

"Other times, you call me 'deputy chief' in a serious manner... Even if you made such a bold decision, when you chased me here, you still called me 'deputy chief'—?!"

Liu Quan was tongue-tied, his face was red and his ears were red, his brain became a mess for a moment.

...Is that so? !

She didn't notice such details.This, this is just a habit after all... right?

Details that he didn't even notice... When did he notice it?

Could it be that...he actually didn't reluctantly agree to it because she chased her so recklessly and couldn't refuse her position as a team member to join forces...?

The next moment, Liu Quan felt that he tightened his arms a little more, hugging her tightly, as if he never wanted to let go.

She felt as if her body had completely sunk into his broad and warm arms.At this moment, the distance that seemed to exist between them seems to have completely disappeared.

This body language says it all in a split second.
