Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

It was a very rare and novel experience for Liu Quan to start life as a small family member of the earth army.

Almost six years have passed since the "Kyohara Yukiha" set in the original work came to Shinsengumi.And Liu Quan also took over this role almost from the early stage, so the time she experienced in the Shinsengumi is also not short.

Over the years, she has changed from a team member to an acting team leader, and she has more and more jobs—but she has lost her independent courage and completely hidden behind Tufang, assisting him in his daily work. For Liu Quan Said, indeed unprecedented.

However, since she has helped the earthwork with many things before, she is a very reliable assistant in terms of work.Now it's just hiding behind Hijikata - this brand new way of getting along has been smoothly adapted to them.

In a sense, the activity time of Tufang and Liuquan has been unified to the greatest extent - when they were newly selected team members or cadres, they did not have the chance to meet so often because they often had to perform tasks.But it's different now.As a small surname, Liu Quan followed him almost like a shadow.

The earth side's attitude towards Liu Quan has also changed a lot.The previous severity has all but disappeared.The former Oni's deputy chief often showed a clumsy caring and gentle gesture.

This kind of unbelievable change makes Liu Quan often feel a little unreal, as if he is watching a fan work whose deputy director is completely OOC, it is so beautiful and ridiculous that it is unbelievable.

Although this illusion is often broken by all kinds of official or military affairs in the next moment, Liu Quan still feels that at the moment when the road ahead is uncertain, it is possible to produce various CGs and plots of the milk-toothed woman. ...It must be the latest method used by this crumbling world to paralyze the excellent players who intend to fight against it to the end, and make the players lose their due vigilance and aggressiveness under this unscientific pink atmosphere!

After the New Year, one day, Big Bird came to visit.

Liu Quan fulfilled his duty as a small surname, serving tea to Tu Fang and Da Niao.

Da Bird noticed that Liu Quan served the earthwork with Japanese tea, but what he placed in front of him was a set of English tea sets. There was hot black tea in a bone china teacup with beautiful patterns, and a small teacup on the saucer. Spoon, with milk jug and sugar beside it.

Probably because of his background of studying in the West?What a caring person.What's even more rare is that, as a person who has never been abroad and has stayed in the old-fashioned samurai group like the Shinsengumi for so long, he is very knowledgeable-really, does that stubborn guy in Hijikata know? What kind of a wonderful person is the woman standing next to him? !

Big Bird smiled.

"I didn't expect you to be able to make this kind of tea." He praised Liu Quan without hesitation, then turned his gaze to Tufang, and asked jokingly: "The family name that the army of Tufang pursues is really excellent. Where did you find such a good one?" Children's?"

For a moment Liu Quan felt unable to complain.

"Please, please wait—!"

What is a "good boy"? !Is this the latest form of flattery? !Calling an important member of the "Wolf of Mibu" who was at least 25 years old and roamed the ground in Kyoto as a "good boy", is this really a man? !

The earth side obviously couldn't agree with Big Bird's sense of humor.

"...Go ask that guy who secretly called her here without notifying me in advance, and handed her a letter of appointment without authorization." He replied firmly.

Although Hijikata narrowed his eyes and glared at Datori, Datori seemed very happy and smiled even more happily.

"I really want to help you...but now I really envy you."

He said in a joking tone.

"With such a beautiful and excellent surname, you must have no complaints, right?...Ah, by the way, Hijikata-kun seems to be handling official duties a lot faster recently."

His ambiguous tone was clearly implying that Liu Quan had surpassed his due authority as a small surname, and continued to help him with his work as a capable subordinate of the Shinsengumi, which improved the work efficiency of the earthworker a lot.

For some reason, Liu Quan suddenly felt guilty.

"No, that..." She immediately tried to defend herself.

But after Tufang glanced at her, he answered Big Bird with a serious face.

"Well... forget it. If there is such a guy, he won't look down on other people."

Liu Quan:? !

Her eyes widened in astonishment, and she felt that her brain seemed to be emptied by these words for a moment, and she could hardly think about other issues except for a blank blank.

Looking at the expression on Da Niao's face, it was not much better than hers, and he was so surprised that he couldn't be more surprised.

"I really didn't expect... Hijikata-kun would say that." He blinked his eyes again and again, which seemed to ease his expression slightly.

Then, without warning, he dropped another bomb—he said in a slightly exaggerated tone of surprise and exclamation: "Ah~ ah, even I sometimes think... If there is If such a good woman stands in front of me, then I must earnestly pursue her and ask her to marry me."

Pursue……? !Marry, marry, marry——? !

These two fatal words made Liu Quan, who was already extremely astonished, stare in his eyes in an instant.

wait wait wait--!This was supposed to be a polite greeting before the official meeting, but why did the conversation slip in a dangerous direction...? !

Compared with Liu Quan's clumsy and dumb face who didn't even know how to arrange the features on his face, Hijikata looked surprisingly calm.

Hearing what Big Bird said, he laughed softly, and replied in a normal and natural tone: "I'm sorry, you should find someone else. This guy belongs to me...no matter what happens Of course it's impossible to let go, right?"

...It's against the law to keep blinking in front of strangers, Hijikata-san!

Liu Quan stared at Tufang dumbfounded, feeling a mess in his head and buzzing in his ears, he could no longer think calmly.

Seeing Liu Quan, who is always eloquent and full of self-confidence, was shocked and speechless, and Hijikata, who was always strict, introverted and indifferent, calmly showed unexpected frankness, this wonderful reversal contrast , making Big Bird laugh even more happily.

"Mr. Hijikata, if you continue like this, you will be hated easily after a long time?" He said with a smile, looking back and forth between Hijikata and Liu Quan.

When he saw that Liu Quan seemed to be about to explode because of too much accident, he shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Ah, let's not talk anymore. I also know that it is impossible to find someone like you again." A woman like Kiyohara-kun—is there any other woman who can become the cadre of the Shinsengumi by her own ability?"

Then, before his narrow heart was exhausted, the topic changed.

"...Hey, Hichikata-kun, do you know? In foreign countries, sometimes various competitions are held for couples or families to promote family and neighborhood relations, or to raise funds for some organizations or events. some type of……"

Of course Liu Quan could understand what Big Bird was saying about this kind of thing.Although Hijikata raised his eyebrows slightly because of doubt at first, he seemed to understand the strange intention of Big Bird to bring up this matter very quickly.However, he didn't frown as Liu Quan expected to reprimand Big Bird for thinking wildly or making fun of him. Instead, he folded his hands on his chest and stared at Big Bird leisurely, as if he didn't care what the guy said. In other words, he can accept it calmly.

Sure enough, Big Bird continued.

"The last time I held a fundraising event for the New Republic Army, I was thinking—if there was such a match in Japan, the combination of Hijikata-kun and Kiyohara-kun would definitely sweep Japan?"

Liu Quan felt that if Da Niao was asked to say one more word, her blood vessels would burst out of embarrassment.

"Okay... okay! Mr. Big Bird, please get down to business!" She roughly interrupted Big Bird's thoughts.

To her surprise, Datori and Hijikata looked at each other, and then smiled together.

"That's right... If it's just about swordsmanship, if the two of us fight together, no one in Japan can compare to it?" Hijikata actually echoed Ohtori's words.This is really bizarre, hasn't he never agreed with Big Bird from the very beginning?

Big Bird laughed softly.

"That's really not a modest statement, Hijikata-san....But, it's also true." He agreed, then straightened his face, and talked about the business.

"Then let's get to the point... Do you think they will come?"

Hijikata's expression didn't change, and he answered him immediately.

"Yes. They will come as soon as the snow melts."

His tone was very certain.

Big Bird nodded approvingly.

"Since you think so, you shouldn't be wrong. In fact, I think the same as you. Enomoto-kun seems to hope to resolve it through negotiations. But I think there will still be a war."

The newly elected president of the Ezo Republic... Is that Takehiro Enomoto, the former navy governor of the former shogunate army who visited to rescue Kondo, and the captain of "Kaiyo Maru" Takehiro Ezo, actually a peacemaker?

Hijikata's gaze drifted aside briefly.

"...It's not easy to avoid war. The new government army can't let us go."

Liu Quan couldn't help sighing silently in his heart.

If negotiating peace can peacefully resolve the conflict between the new government army and the old shogunate army, then why did they move to various places, go all the way north, and sacrifice countless companions until they crossed the sea to come here? !

The earthworker turned his gaze back again, and looked at the big bird.

"For example, in contrast to Enomoto-kun and the others, our army needs to be ready before spring."

Big Bird's expression also became very serious.

"Well, you don't have to worry about this. I will go to the upper management to do the pre-work first."

...In other words, if you advocate resistance now, you have to go through the upper-level route to prepare for war...? !

Liu Quan's brows could not help but wrinkle together.

Hijikata's expression relaxed a little.

"But... I didn't expect that after I came to Ezo, we would still have the same opinion." There was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, which almost sounded like a joke.

Big Bird's expression also relaxed a lot, "Yeah, from the time we met, you are right. After all, we are not pure warriors, and our thinking patterns are naturally different."

Liu Quan couldn't help thinking about Big Bird's last words.

...Mr. Hijikata has persisted until now, isn't it because he wants to uphold the ancient samurai spirit?In fact, wasn't he the one who first ordered the entire Shinsengumi to cut their long hair, change into western clothes, and conduct Western firearms and tactical training?Presumably, he would not be as rigid and prejudiced as the warriors of the old days, and refuse to accept these advanced things.

But now he is still sticking to a place where even the supreme leader is about to give up. The shoguns in the shogunate have bowed their heads and handed over their power and status. First, they endured a life of house arrest, and then moved to a private house to start a much simpler and lower-key life. When he was living as a commoner, he was still fighting tenaciously for the shogunate that no longer existed, and he was going to shed the last drop of blood under heavy resistance, martyrdom for the sunset of the shogunate? !

...Mr. Hijikata, you are so stupid.

Just like what Mr. Shannan said before, that kind of stupid... Desperate look really makes people want to try their best to help you.

"Birth is not something worth talking about. ... The most important thing is the 'heart'." She heard Big Bird make the best conclusion.

"We chose the path of fighting for our own beliefs." Big Bird's baby face, whose actual age could not be seen, showed an unusually serious expression that had never been seen before.

"Facing the road I have come all the way, now I have no choice but to continue walking."

Hijikata's brows softened, revealing a gentle smile.

"Our will will never yield, and we will do our best to fight to the end." He responded calmly and firmly.

After Big Bird said goodbye, Tufang turned to Liuquan.The smile on his face disappeared at some point.

Liu Quan met his gaze, feeling a little strange palpitation for some reason.She hurriedly lowered her gaze, avoiding his gaze by packing up the tea set.

"Looks like it's going to war again," she said in a flat, everyday chatter tone as she cleaned up.

"Hey, Xue Ye, come here." Tu Fang didn't answer her, but called her briefly, opened the door and walked out of the room.

Liu Quan felt more and more flustered in his heart, and hurriedly dropped the work in hand, and chased after him.

The author has something to say:

February 6:

In fact, there are still a few flashy stalks, but they don't seem to have much to do with the context of the text. I'm considering whether to write them all. . .
