Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Feeling that his topic was going to be skewed by her again, he coughed heavily, and forced the topic back to the right path (?).

"Cough... the Jiutiao family did this in order to regain the favor of His Majesty?" He casually asked a question with a clear answer, with a face of [seriously, we are talking about business here! 】 expression.

Qingyuan Xueye on the opposite side of the table obviously also saw his intentions, so she blinked at him and didn't answer the question directly.

Fujita Goro: "... Then according to my investigation, Kujo Michiyoshi passed away due to unknown reasons in the early years of the Meiji era—"

When he said this, the corner of his eye suddenly caught the expression on her face, and he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

When he was telling the results of his investigation, she was smiling all the time, tilting her head halfway with her cheeks resting, looking at him naughtily and lazily, her eyes were clear and agile.However, when he heard this fact from him, the soft and happy eyes suddenly disappeared.

The smile on her face is still there, but the perfunctory meaning is much more obvious.Her gaze seemed to turn colder, as if she was suddenly filled with disgust for Jiu Tiao Daoqing, the name, and even the ending of this man's violent death could not make her give him a little bit of mercy.

A deduction flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Jiu Tiao Daoqing, has he...did anything bad to you, Mr. Xue Ye?" He blurted out.

Sure enough, the smile on her face slowly froze.

She put down the teacup, her expression suddenly became hollow and indifferent.She still supported her head with her left hand, but with her free right hand, she lightly tapped her beautifully curved and small chin with her index finger—that kind of body movements seemed to be expressing some kind of anger, unhappiness, and anxiety after being provoked Like an uneasy bad mood——replied in an equally empty and indifferent tone: "...What if I said 'yes'? What would you think, Yi-kun?"

Fujita Goro:? !

He asked such a question, in fact, just because he thought of what the retired former owner of the grocery store said about "the useful person is adopted as an adopted son" and "the young master of the Chinese race uses emotion and charm to control the ignorant girl for him. do things" and so on.

Although he felt that Qingyuan Xueye did not meet the definition of an ignorant girl, but if she was threatened, she would do crazy things—just like how she hated her uncle's house close to Changzhou Fan so much, but He still went back to the home that he resolutely betrayed and fled because of the deputy chief's plea, and tried to rescue Chief Kondo at great risk——

He felt as if he hadn't thought about the deputy chief for a long time.The new identity, new job, and new life after changing the name and surname required him to adapt to everything with difficulty; he forced himself to temporarily forget that he was once one of the sharpest swords of the Shinsengumi, and that he was once the Shinsengumi's sharpest sword. Saitoichi, the leader of the third group, forgot that he had been so glorious in the era dominated by swords - those were the glory brought to him by swords, but now they have been buried together with the old era.

Just like the deputy chief who seemed to be wise, powerful and omnipotent back then was also taken away by the sunset when the old era passed away.

He knew that in his subconscious mind he felt confused and restless, and was at a loss for her sudden appearance and approach. He didn't know how she had spent these years, and how she had recovered from the crisis of approaching death. The one who escaped didn't know when she separated from the deputy chief, and she didn't even know if the deputy chief's position in her heart was still the same as before, and how it compared with him.

...It's all because of my unstoppable greed, that's why I have these dark thoughts.he thinks.

It seemed that after being kissed by her, those dark feelings and bad thoughts hidden deep in his heart, which he had been firmly suppressing with reason, broke free from the layers of shackles with a bang, and all came out of the cage.

I want to know if I, who is not as good as the deputy chief, is qualified to hug her.She wanted to know whether she had left traces in her heart during the years when they all looked up to the glorious image of the deputy chief.Want to know if she will stay this time, standing in front of him forever, every time he thinks of her, every night he thinks of her, within his reach, to hug her, smell her The faint fresh fragrance from her body, kissed her soft and moist lips, so as to soothe my heart that was aching because of missing in the darkness day and night.

He felt a sense of danger.

Because for him, those dark emotions called feelings and longings that had been buried for many years, now broke free from the shackles called rationality, and turned into a ferocious beast that devoured people in his chest. Running around forced him to face these things squarely for the first time.

Looking back now, when she appeared in the corner room wearing a gorgeous Furisode kimono after a fierce battle, when she rushed through the blood-soaked streets of Yukoji with a knife in her hand, when she was under fierce artillery fire When rushing up to Momoyama on the outskirts of Fushimi and interrupting his confrontation with that powerful ghost, when she came out of the forest on the slope of Katsunuma Kannon-zaka alone and said with a smile that she was here to pick him up …Even when she saw him off with a smile outside the golden mansion in Ruzan, or cried and shouted in the falling city of Aizu to ask him to come back and look for her after completing his responsibilities—

In so many unforgettable moments, when she appeared, the heart in my chest was beating so fast that it was about to fly out of my throat, and I felt at a loss of what to do...

Ah, that must be the sound of heartbeat.

No matter where she came from, no matter what she had done, even whether what she saw in her eyes was really her... The unavoidable wavering feeling in his chest made him wait The reason so far.

"Although I don't know exactly how he died..." He thought for a while and replied seriously.

"However, if he intends to act according to his own ideas, if he does something that hurts others, all the results will be his own fault."

He stared closely at her eyes, his upper body even leaned forward slightly, his jaw tensed into an angular line, as if doing so could show how firm his thoughts were, and he was planning to put this firmness Conveyed her determination with reservations.

"We..." He paused, mouthed the word "Shinsengumi" silently, and then continued: "I can't forgive the enemy who hurts my companions. I must carry out a crusade. Before that It's a pity that he died on his own..."

He bit the last words of "It's really a pity" especially hard, as if he felt deep anger and regret because he thought of what had happened and he didn't stop it, and he didn't personally avenge her.

His feelings were conveyed unreservedly. She stared back at the pair of dark blue eyes that were staring at her. After a long time, the index finger that tapped her chin suddenly paused, and then , The corners of his lips slowly curled up, and he smiled.
