Liu Quan hadn't noticed that Tufang had also come, he was startled, and hurriedly turned around to confirm.

At some point, Hijikata had already walked behind her, and he was standing there with his arms folded around his chest, staring at her face, with some strange emotion in his eyes.

Seeing that Hijikata had also come, Da Niao smiled and nodded at him, and said, "Okay, I'm going back to study how Qingyuan-kun's proposal was implemented—see you later. Qingyuan-san, thank you very much."

After Big Bird left, Liu Quan was stunned for a moment before realizing that the rifle/gun in his hand should be returned first.She glanced at the earth side apologetically, walked aside and put the rifle/gun back on the rack, then walked back to the earth side, and said with a smile: "The meeting is over? Have you read all the documents for today? So soon?"

Tufang didn't answer her words, his eyes flicked past her face and fell on her right shoulder.

"Shoulders, what's wrong?" he asked simply.

"...Huh?!" Liu Quan was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he probably noticed her rubbing her shoulders since just now.

"It's okay, it's normal. After every shot, due to the recoil, the butt of the gun will bounce back a bit, and it will always hit the shoulder. I've made up my mind in advance, and it's nothing serious. It's just a little movement..." She explained to him with a smile.

"...Follow me back." Hijikata seemed to ignore her theory at all, said simply, and then turned around immediately, as if planning to go back to Goryokaku immediately.

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after him.

Tufang walked one step ahead of her, walking quickly.When the two of them walked one after the other in the corridor of Goryokaku, their hurried footsteps knocked on the wooden floor, making a rattling sound.

After entering Tufang's room, after he closed the door, his face sank as soon as he turned around.

"Take off your shirt," he ordered her briefly.

"...Huh?! Huh?!" Liu Quan thought he had heard wrong, and opened his eyes wide for a moment.

"Take off your shirt. Don't let me do it myself." There was a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.

At this time, Liu Quan finally realized that it wasn't that the deputy chief had suddenly changed into a painting style that should be cleared by the yellow card lock text, but that something was really wrong, so he could only unbutton the buttons slowly, take off his coat, Avoid fueling the opponent's ultimate move [Deputy Chief's Fury Flame], while trying to make a remedy with words.

"...Mr. Hijikata? My shoulder is really fine. If you want to practice shooting, there's nothing you can do about it. Everyone is like this—"

"...You, did you hear what I said?!" He ignored her excuses at all, and asked her in a calm tone, as if there was a storm about to erupt under his calm face.

"...Okay. You, don't be angry..." Liu Quan stammered, had to unbutton the top buttons of his shirt, and timidly pulled the shirt down a little, exposing his right shoulder.

There are obvious bruises on the snow-white skin.For the shoulders that constantly bear the impact of the heavy wooden gunstock, the female body is still a little bit reluctant——

When his eyes fell on the bruise, Hijikata visibly closed his eyes and let out a long breath, as if he was trying to release the barely suppressed anger in his chest by doing that.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Quan suddenly felt his warm fingertips land on the skin on her shoulders that was slightly cold due to long-term exposure to the air, like a feather brushing by, gently touching the surface of the skin That bruise.

His movements were very light, and she didn't feel any pain, but at that moment, her body trembled involuntarily, and she opened her eyes wide, staring at his gentle face close in front of her.

"Mr. Hijikata?!" she murmured, as if in disbelief.

"You...you didn't blame me?"

The earthwork let out a deep sigh.

"I... really lost to you." He sighed, stretching out his hand to pull the open collar of the shirt back to her shoulders, "You are really much more stubborn than Edo women... I don't know how much you know The ability to know...?"

Liu Quan let out an ah, suddenly a little embarrassed.

"I... I just hope that no matter what happens in the future, I can help Mr. Hijikata in every way..." She lowered her head and replied softly.

"So, did you just abandon your sword without hesitation?" Hijikata was silent for a moment, then slid his right hand to the hilt of the "Izumi Mori Kanesada" still stuck in his waist, and after staying for a moment, his His eyes moved to Liu Quan's waist.

She didn't bring her own so-called "Tachi" with a peculiar shape - probably because it would be inconvenient to practice shooting with it.

"...You seem to be adapting to this new era faster than me." He sighed, "Even if you have to abandon your sword and kendo, you can move forward without hesitation..."

Liu Quan's heart suddenly jumped.That feeling seized her chest for a moment, similar to heart palpitations, similar to panic, making it difficult for her to breathe.

What is he lamenting?Is it just because she has abandoned the sword she cherished for many years without nostalgia, or is it because she has easily given up a certain spirit that she has been pursuing and guarding?

"...In this case, will the deputy chief say I'm 'Shidou not enlightened', and then order me to apologize?"

Tu Fang was taken aback. "What?!"

"Even if the reason for putting down the sword temporarily is to better protect the Shidou in my heart, isn't that okay?"

Liu Quan finally raised his head, staring at him bravely with clear eyes.

"Even if the knife is not in my hand for a while, it will always be in my heart." She raised her right hand and pointed to her left chest.

"No matter how I fight to the last moment, the things I protect with everyone will never change. It seems that I no longer need to wear light-colored haori when I go out, but even if I wear a dress, don't we? Are you no longer a member of the Shinsengumi?!"

Her voice was strong and full of unshakable confidence.

"The reason why I moved forward without hesitation was not because I changed weapons, but because of the spirit that I believe in with everyone... As long as that spirit exists, I will support the deputy chief without wavering. The ground and the deputy chief will fight together to the end..."

"Yes, foreign guns seem to help me win more easily in this era...but my purpose is definitely not just to win."

"Because I want to live, and live with Mr. Hijikata. No one understands the spirit of protecting each other better than Mr. Hijikata. Every time I look at you, I will think of the spirit and belief of the Shinsengumi. I don't want to see it disappear into the world like this. Because no one can convey this spirit and belief better than Mr. Hijikata, so I will support Mr. Hijikata with all my life. I want to support you to live longer , a little longer, and pass on the shining belief that everyone has guarded until today—”

Hijikata opened his eyes slightly because of surprise. Hearing her bold and straightforward confession, his expression slowly changed, from sadness to shock, to softness and emotion.

"...What makes you so courageous." His face softened, he stretched out his left hand, slowly touched her injured right shoulder, and then slid to her cheek from there.

……coming!Key personal line selection limbs! !Although the plot in the game has been greatly out of shape so far, and the original novel of the same person can't be used as a reference, of course, a strange intuition surged up in his heart, telling Liu Quan whether this is whether she can really capture the deputy chief's heart and make him never Believe in yourself with reservations, let her have the key to influence the direction of the plot in the future! !

"...Mr. Hijikata."

There was no time to think about it for too long, following his inner intuition, Liu Quan made such an answer without hesitation.But at the same time, her heart was up and down with the sliding of his fingertips, beating irregularly.She heard her own voice seemed to hang in mid-air, light and unreal.

"When I see Hijikata-san, I'm filled with courage."

"You are the source of my courage and belief."

"No matter what foundation you want to build your life on, I hope you can always move in the direction you really want."

"No matter what setbacks you may encounter along the way, no matter what sorrow and pain you may experience, I hope that I can support you and let you know that you are never alone on this road."

"In order to achieve such a goal, I must continue to work hard. Even when we are parting, when I think of Mr. Hijikata, and remember that one day I will be able to see you again, I have the courage to continue."

After her lengthy confession, he was silent for a long time.He didn't say anything, just rested his left hand on her right cheek, as if he was concentrating on feeling her body temperature and the throbbing blood vessels under her skin because of such an excited confession.

Then, finally, he smiled slowly.The next moment, with a little force on his hand, he brought her into his arms.

"Oh, so... this is Xue Ye's tenderness..." He whispered in her ear.

"Even if you once lived in darkness, can you always see a ray of light ahead...?"

"That...that's all because...!" Liu Quan blurted out.

However, Tufang smiled slowly and gently interrupted her following defense.

"I know what you're going to say." His hand slid to her hair, stroking gently.

"You want to say that it's because the Shinsengumi changed you that you learned to think that way, don't you?"

Liu Quan nodded vigorously under his palm.Her hair rubbed against his palm because of this movement, which made him feel a little itchy.

He burst out laughing.

"Really... Is it really a man to say that the legendary 'Wolf of Mibu' is so beautiful...?"

he asked half-jokingly.

Unexpectedly, she raised her face slightly, looked at him seriously, and said word by word: "So far, all the best things in my life have been brought to me by the members of the Shinsengumi. ... And, It’s also because of the Shinsengumi that I…”

There was a sudden burst of obvious flushing on her face, and her eyes became wandering here and there without a fixed point.

"...I just met Mr. Hijikata." She continued in a low voice, with a hint of embarrassment in her tone.

"So, so...there are Shinsengumi in this world...it's great."

He was slightly taken aback, and the movement of stroking her hair also stopped.

He saw this woman who usually always acted very brave and fearless, and would only grit her teeth and refuse to back down even in the face of dangerous situations, gradually turned red in front of his eyes, as if the top of her head was about to feel like she was about to say something. As if smoking from these few words, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Really... You really don't want to let go after you say such cute words?" He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.

When he spoke, the breath between his lips and teeth blew on her ears, so her body shook violently, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

The next moment, something even more unbelievable happened.

He cupped her face, his lips covered it, and landed on hers.
