Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Seeing the look of question marks on his face, she suppressed a smile and repeated the key words that made her feel interesting.

"Uh, 'uncommon world affairs'...?"

Then, she saw that Xiao Yi's face became serious, and he looked more serious.

"That's it. Any questions?"

Even Xiao Yi's rigid tone made people feel so nostalgic... Thinking of this, she smiled and sighed.

"Not at all..." She replied leisurely, then winked playfully at him without warning.

"Also, I don't have time to take care of you." She said with a smile.

Fujita Goro:! ! !

For some reason, a rush of hot air suddenly rushed to his face.He was suddenly very glad that it was night, and the room was dimly lit because he was about to go to bed just now, and maybe the heat on his face would not be noticed by others—he coughed and heard his own voice become more rigid.

"Of course, 'no time to take care' is just my subjective impression. It is reasonable for you to have different opinions. However, I made such a judgment because there was no chance to have a good conversation along the way; I look forward to your detailed explanation on this mission... After all, it was your idea to let me join the mission."

He heard her amused ah, so he stopped, wanting to wait to see what she had to say.But she just said ah and then fell silent again, not really intending to explain the ins and outs of this matter.

Even Fujita Goro himself could feel the tense feeling coming from his face.

Fujita Goro: "..."

For a moment he felt a little speechless.

When no one was talking, there was only the sound of two people's breathing in the quiet room, which was slightly audible.

The silent air in the room gradually seemed to be about to freeze, and it gradually pressed down on the person like a substance, creating a sense of heaviness.

Suddenly, the candlelight on the table flickered, and then became much dimmer.

Fujita Goro seemed to be startled suddenly, and leaned over to stand up and go to the table to adjust the candles that were about to burn out; but at this moment, Kiyohara Yukiha suddenly let out a chuckle, stopping his movement in time.

"Yijun, you really are unhappy." She said.

Fujita Goro leaned forward halfway, and was about to stand up suddenly froze.He paused for a moment, then sat back slowly, and then replied very seriously: "I don't think I'm unhappy—"

His words were interrupted.

Because she, who was kneeling just a few feet away in front of him, suddenly leaned forward, peeking at the expression on his face from a close distance in the dim candlelight that became increasingly dimmer.

Fujita Goro:! ! !

For some reason, his spirit was strained to the limit, but a sentence popped out that even he himself found very incomprehensible.

"...Matsu, Matsumoto may be back soon." He suppressed his voice and said in a low voice, with an imperceptible tension in his voice.

She blinked, then smiled slightly.

"No, he won't come back," she whispered.

Fujita Goro:? !

He seemed to understand something in an instant, and suddenly raised his head to stare at her.Then, he saw a sly smile on her face, so he understood everything.

Of course, she also saw this from the change in his expression, so she added another sentence generously.

"...Because he is a good subordinate and knows how to comply with the master's wishes."

Fujita Goro: "...Did you give him the order to go out tonight and never return?"

Qingyuan Xueye smiled slightly.

"Ah, I paid him enough to spend the night away and come back."

Fujita Goro:! ! !

For a moment he was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

It is not appropriate to do this, even if they have known each other, she is now a young woman who is single and unmarried, and the eldest lady of the Jiutiao family, even if she wants to talk to the entourage at home, there are other ways; The person himself was going to visit him at night, and let the other party stay late at night... This, this is simply telling the other party that he is going to do something impolite!It's not doing her reputation any favors!It should be strictly prohibited!

But the next moment, she suddenly became serious again, and the faint sense of ambiguity in her expression and voice was swept away.Her voice echoed in the dark night, especially clear.

"Because I think it is necessary to find a chance to explain this mission to you without being disturbed by others."

"Although this task was won by Mr. Zhongshun of the Jiutiao family, I feel that the matter is far from that simple-this matter is originally a double-edged sword. If it is done well, it can certainly please His Majesty, but in case something happens along the way What about the accident? What will the Jiutiao family have to explain to His Majesty?"

"Besides, in order to take on this mission, I may have made some difficult promises in front of those big men in Satsuma. If something changes..."

She suddenly became so serious about discussing business affairs, but he blinked his eyes as if he couldn't react for a while.But after all, he has a calm and self-sustaining personality, so he quickly adjusted his emotions and listened to her speech quietly.At this moment, when she paused subtly, he spoke calmly.

"...It cannot be ruled out that this is exactly those—" He paused before continuing to say the term they once hated so much, "the plan of the Samoans."

She seemed a little surprised, "Oh?!", after a moment of silence, she suddenly laughed softly.

"...Interesting. I hadn't thought of that."

That meaningful tone made Fujita Goro feel a subtle shock.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question.

"Are you planning something, Mr. Xueye?"

Hearing this, she slightly raised her eyelids, as if a very bright light flashed through her pupils, and she returned to silence in an instant.There was a perfunctory smile on her face.

"...Eh, why do you ask, Yi-kun?"

"...Don't do dangerous things." Fujita Goro couldn't help lowering his voice and warned her seriously.

"It's not the days of a few years ago now... There is no war anymore, and there is no turning against the enemy... So, there is no need to take risks because of anything." He chose his words carefully, almost Pause after every sentence.

"...In the final analysis, what is the important thing?"

He spoke slowly, as if this question had been rolling in his mind for a long time, but there was no correct answer; it would take great courage to ask it now.

"Mr. Xueye, in your mind, what is the most important thing? Can you tell me?"

He asked slowly, one word at a time.

After hearing this question, she slowly raised her eyes and stared at his face, who was close at hand.

From her point of view, although the distance between them will be closed in a second, he is still sitting on the spread out quilt, with his hands clenched into fists in an extremely upright and restrained manner on his sides On his knees, his lower jaw was slightly tensed, and his expression was solemn and serious.

She just stared straight at his face without any concealment, as if the longer this gaze lasted, the more she would be able to see what was hidden in his heart from his unmoving expression. .

He didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding it.Although a slight embarrassment gradually appeared on his face because of this long-term staring, he still sat up straight and upright, letting her watch, just like before. In the days they were familiar with, he stayed in the dark for a long time when performing latent tasks, patiently waiting for the moment of results.

Finally, she suddenly raised the corners of her lips, and simply replied:

"companion."

Fujita Goro:! ! !

A look of astonishment appeared on his face in an instant, his mouth even opened slightly, and a slightly shocked "ah" sounded from his throat.

Of course she knew that answering "belief" might lead to higher favorability... However, favorability is not the goal she is focusing on now.

"I don't know if the sha chief's victory represents some kind of justice...Since they got the Royal Banner of Brocade, they probably thought it was justice..." she said.

"However, in my heart, this world that everyone is desperately trying to save... this world that is trying to make it better, cannot be destroyed by anyone—"

Her gaze turned cold, like a clear moon hanging alone in the night sky.

"Anyone, not at all."

"Anyone who wants to do that...I won't allow it."

She spoke vigorously word by word.

"Because if I just sit idly by so easily... I won't be able to face those companions who fell along the way."

"If those guys are doing it to make the world a better place...I don't mind backing down."

"However, if they are fighting for power ... no matter how difficult it is, I will stop it."

She looked straight at Fujita Goro's face, her eyes blazed like fire.

"I'm not willing to risk anything to do it," she said through gritted teeth.

Fujita Goro:! ! !

He looked back at her in shock.She still maintained the slightly leaning forward posture just now, which made her gaze and words look more powerful, as if it could shake everything - including people's hearts.

He heard a ripple in his voice.

"Mr. Xueye..."

He never seemed to be able to figure out what she was thinking at the moment.

In Aizu, when he was determined to die for his belief, she shed tears and said, "After Ichi-kun has fulfilled his mission, he will definitely survive."But now, when he really listened to her, after desperately fulfilling his beliefs and missions and surviving, she said that she would not hesitate to protect what those sacrificed companions sacrificed for in the past. Desperate to take risks? !

He felt as if he would never be able to keep up with her leaping thoughts.Every thought that seemed to be flashing seemed to jump out of her mind at any time, and he couldn't do anything but be dazzled and try to understand.

He has his own beliefs and persistence.But up to now, of all the beliefs, only Xiao Xiao insisted on pursuing justice and refusing to join forces with those darkness.

After the Shinsengumi disappeared, how long had it been since the beliefs that once filled his chest hadn't shone, even he himself didn't dare to think about it.

His fingertips clenched into fists on his knees were trembling slightly.The center of the five fingers clenched into a fist seemed to be holding something that he dared not release, like a roaring beast that was about to escape from its cage.

"...So that's how it is." He seemed to be struggling to squeeze out a word.

"In order to protect what my companions are fighting for and obsessed with..."

He paused.

"I understand."

Then he raised his eyes and gazed at her earnestly and earnestly.

"Then please let me help."

She looked slightly surprised.

"……what?"

He didn't get an immediate affirmative reply, he seemed to sigh silently, and then suddenly leaned forward slightly——

Her right hand stretched out and landed on the back of her left hand which had been propped on the tatami earlier.

"Let me help you," he said.

"Because we are companions. All along..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if pondering over his words.After that, he spoke again awkwardly.

"Aren't we the kind of comrades who can safely leave their backs to each other in the most dangerous and fierce battles? On Yukoji..."

When he said this, he stopped as if he suddenly lost his voice again.

Her eyes fell to his hand covering the back of her hand, and suddenly she chuckled softly.

"Yeah," she said.

"At that time, how did we face the group of Satsuma soldiers..."

"Now, let's fight like that."
