Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

This sound seemed to awaken Liu Quan's sanity.As soon as her figure moved, she rushed forward, ignoring the principles of modern medical first aid, and tried her best to help Hirasuke's upper body up.

At this moment, she realized that although Hirasuke seemed to have a youthful thinness, when he was actually lifted up, he felt that his body was quite heavy - was it because he had lost consciousness?Or... already dead? !

Liu Quan didn't think much of it, and shouted anxiously: "Mr. Pingzhu!! Pingzhu...?!"

Under her repeated calls that were so urgent that she even forgot her honorific name, Hirasuke, who originally thought he had lost his life on the spot, unexpectedly——

His lips trembled slightly, on the young face that was originally handsome but now frightening like a Rakshasa, the eyelids opened a thin slit with great effort.

Hirasuke squirmed his lips.Blood flowed into his mouth, and he didn't seem to notice it, as if trying hard to make a sound.

Liu Quan gritted her teeth, lest she would immediately collapse and cry like a human being; in order to conceal her grief and weakness, she bowed deeply to Heisuke's face, and her ears were almost attached to Heisuke's lips, which was considered Barely heard his voice.

"Ah, ha...is it...it's time...for...to recite...a haiku...time..."

At this time, do you still have the heart to joke! !

I don't know why, such a plain sentence - such a clumsy joke, instantly defeated Liu Quan's high defense just now.Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Don't, don't be joking!" She felt that her voice was trembling, it was so unbearable.

"Reading, reciting haiku... Isn't that... Mr. Hijikata's business..."

Tears slid across the bridge of her nose, trembling and hanging on the tip of her nose for a moment, then fell silently, as if falling on Hirasuke's face.

Hirasuke narrowed his eyes as if fearing the pain, and laughed intermittently.

"Yeah..." He wriggled his lips and silently made such a mouth shape.

Because of falling face down just now, besides criss-crossing wounds and bloodstains, there is also mud and sand on his face.However, as if he didn't care about those things at all, he tried to open his eyes wide again—although in Liu Quan's view, he only opened his eyes with all his strength to open a small slit—the eyes and lips opened. Combined several times, only a few broken syllables came out.

"Then...you memorize it, Hijikata...sir, haiku..."

Liu Quan was taken aback.

At this time, Yongcang and Harada also quickly dealt with the remaining imperial mausoleum guards—seeing that they could not get any advantage from the Shinsengumi, and had already lost three companions, they became unwilling to fight and resisted. After a few strokes, they all fled away—so Yongcura and Harada also had time to rush to Heisuke's side.

Hearing Hirasuke's request, both of them were taken aback, and looked at each other with grief on their faces.In the end, it was Yongcang who said in a deep voice: "Then you can recite one, Qingyuan."

When Liu Quan heard this, he paused.

It wasn't that she was unwilling to meet Hirasuke's last request, but...she couldn't think of which song she should recite for a while.Is it to explain the deputy commander's will as a samurai?Or is it the deputy chief's usual feelings? ...

In the end, she lowered her upper body slightly and approached Hirasuke's ear - because otherwise, Hirasuke would undoubtedly not be able to hear her voice.

She said quietly, as calmly as possible:

"If you don't live here... how can you enjoy the flowers near-"

When she said the last sentence, she paused, and when she spoke again, her voice visibly trembled.

"See you today..."

Hirasuke slowly raised the corners of his lips - it seemed that he could only do this one action now.

The streets of Yukoji were silent.For a while, no one spoke.Only Hirasuke's wheezing and wheezing voice sounded like a broken bellows on the streets of Yukoji.

Then, Hirasuke let out two low laughs that were already hoarse with difficulty.It could be heard that the blood froth was about to clog his throat.

"I really want...to go back to...that time..." he said.

"But, people...can change..."

Liu Quan: "..."

Although she tried her best to open her eyes wide, tears completely blurred her vision.

Hirasuke let out two heavy gasps at the end.There was an ominous ho-ho sound from his throat, as if there was a monster hiding in the darkness, trying to devour his last vitality.

Then, with great difficulty, he squeezed out two syllables.

"Aren't you—"

Before the last word "Qi" was uttered, Liu Quan felt his arms sinking!

She was caught off guard, and for a moment, she didn't support Heisuke's sinking body, and her upper body leaned forward, almost being brought down by Heisuke's body.

Yongcang supported her shoulder in time, and his other hand caught Hirasuke in her arms in time.After helping her to straighten her upper body and squat again, Yongkura closed her eyes and carefully placed Hirasuke's lifeless body on the ground.

"We...couldn't help him..." He let out a painful sigh, the corners of his mouth curled down, his lips tightened, and he stared at Heisuke who was lying flat on the ground so sadly.

Harada was on the verge of sobbing—it seemed that the real Harada in history was a man with very distinct likes and dislikes.

"Hirasuke...you bastard...you won't run if you're told, why on earth!"

At this moment, a low voice came from the street not far away: "Pingzhu!"

Liu Quan's figure froze instantly.

She recognized the voice.

Yongcang and Harada also turned their heads abruptly.

"Mr. Kondo...Mr. Hijikata..." Harada murmured, staring at the group of people and rushing over.

It is Kondo and Hijikata.

Although he followed closely behind Kondo, there was no doubt that the call just now came from Hijikata.Perhaps it was because of the urgency to keep Hirasuke alive that Hijikata, who didn't often speak before Kondo, made such a cry before Kondo tonight.

Yanagura stood up silently along with Nagakura and Harada, and gave the seat next to Hirasuke to Kondo and Hijikata who rushed over.

Kondo leaned down almost in a panic, shaking his hands to feel for Heisuke's breath.

Of course nothing.

Kondo's expression seemed to be both shocked and sad. He sighed and shook his head, and said, "How could this happen... Obviously, arrangements have been made..."

Hijikata followed Kondo closely, watching Kondo's futile attempt with gloomy eyes and frowning.

Harada couldn't help but say, "...one more...!"

Earth's back suddenly trembled slightly.

Hearing this sentence, Yongcang also seemed to have a surge of emotion.

"First it was Mr. Shannan, and now it's Hirasuke..." His tone was low and heavy.

"You can't...you can't wait until the situation is irreversible to arrange it! You have to start from the beginning——"

His voice choked.After a long time, he continued: "...just like Mr. Shannan did at the beginning—"

Before he finished speaking, just mentioning the name "Mr. Shannan", Hijikata suddenly wrinkled his facial features, as if mentioning this name would make him feel a sting; He showed a defensive and painful expression similar to being stabbed in the vitals.

"Yes, yes!" Kondo suddenly raised his voice and took the initiative to take the topic away, as if he sensed the tense atmosphere in the originally depressed atmosphere.

With red eyes, he put his hand on Hirasuke's cold forehead, looked down at Hirasuke's pale and calm face, was silent for a moment, and then said in a difficult tone: "... failed to stop the worst thing It happened, all of this is my fault as a general."

Hijikata suddenly raised his head to look at him, and blurted out: "Kondo-kun!..."

Kondo still lowered his head, his eyes fell on Heisuke's face, he didn't look at Hijikata, but shook his head, preventing Hijikata from speaking below.

"What if I were honest with everyone from the beginning, about what bothered me?—I've been thinking about that a lot lately."

"Forcing myself to look like a general, in fact, everyone has been pushing me forward... But how did it become like this while walking, everyone disappeared... It makes everyone so painful, isn't it me incompetent?"

Kondo spoke slowly in a calm confessional tone.His broad, warm hands stroked Hirasuke's forehead tenderly and sadly.

Hijikata couldn't help shouting again: "... Kondo-kun!"

Kondo then turned his gaze to look at him, smiled at him reassuringly, and then turned to Yongcang beside him.

"No, Ah Sui, this sentence must be said properly. ——Sorry, it's my fault that I didn't notice everyone's pain." He said.

For a while, the streets of Youxiaolu were very quiet.Everyone showed a look of astonishment, but no one spoke.

"I've thought about it seriously... Maybe something more painful than this will happen before I realize my ideal... But, I will definitely continue to work hard with the feeling of cherishing every companion and wanting to fight with everyone Go on, so, can you continue to assist me, Yongcang-kun, Harada-kun?"

Harada was stunned for a moment, and then called out before Yongcang.

"Since Kondo-san entrusts me with this, of course I, I will be fine..."

Even Yongcang, whose face was tense all the time, with a sad and dignified expression, nodded vigorously after a pause.

Liu Quan: "..."

She remained silent from the beginning to the end, and it was only at this time that everyone's eyes turned to her in unison, that she didn't react a little bit.

Ah, are you waiting for her answer?But the director didn't mention her name just now?

However, she had to answer the lines when she was in front of her. She thought for a while, and then replied:

"I...Of course I trust Kondo-san and Hijikata-san."
