Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Perhaps it was because of a little embarrassment and embarrassment because I accidentally heard a girl who tried her best to express her sincere confession—although the object was not him. His expression suddenly disintegrated.

"Oh, oh——!" He responded hastily, as if he had gotten some incredible truth from what she said in an instant, he even turned his eyes away and stared at her feet.

Liu Quanjing waited for him to speak, but after waiting for a few seconds, the sharp-eyed young man in front of him did not make a sound.

Liu Quan decided not to wait any longer.She pursed her lips slightly, causing a faint smile to appear on her face, and asked in a low voice: "...So can you trust me a little bit now?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but if you ask so frankly, Chief Soma seems to be even more embarrassed.

"Well..." He hesitated for a moment, but still nodded slightly.

"As I said just now... people who still want to deceive us with lies, probably no longer exist..."

He smiled wryly.But the faint smile quickly disappeared from his face.

"We have nothing worth calculating and stealing from others."

His expression and tone returned to calm, as if telling this hurtful fact wouldn't be able to hurt him any more.

Liu Quan couldn't help thinking of the Tufang she knew.

At that moment—in the wilderness on the outskirts of Yodo Castle, in the Fushimi Prison where gunfire was raging, facing the cunning of the enemy and the betrayal of the friend, facing the dead body of Minamoto, who was like his brother, and his loyal subordinates Yamazaki's life was seriously injured, and that person—Shinsengumi Deputy Chief Toshizo Hijikata— still had a fiery thing in his eyes.

It is faith, it is courage, it is the spiritual trait that will make him admired and shine forever.

At this moment, she seemed to understand a little bit.

Even if he has the same loyalty and courage to pursue Shido and faith without fear of death, and even if he becomes the leader of the Shinsengumi in the end—Master Soma will never become the same person as that person.

In this world, in other worlds... no one can be like him.

How wonderful it would be if all of this was a dream... Then you could meet those unforgettable people again and again in your dreams.

But even if this is a fictional world, what is evolving is the reality in her life - there will be no second chance to see that person again, and live by his side again, as in the old days Looking up at his gleaming face, watching him walk firmly along the path guided by his belief until he was out of her sight, even though she desperately reached out to him, but could no longer reach it.

This thought made her feel a little sad and sad.In order to cover up her momentary gaffe, she quickly raised her eyes to look at Mr. Souma, who was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Soma-kun... is there anything I can do for you?" She looked at him earnestly.

"...Is there anything that I can do for you now?"

Ah, I said it, the last sentence.

Although the people she is listening to are not the people she is familiar with or misses, but the emotion she harbors and wants to do her best to fulfill their wishes is interlinked.

What is the me now... the me who left the Shinsengumi for many, many years, the me who had to watch the Shinsengumi disappear—what can I do for the Shinsengumi's companions?

Manager Soma noticed the slight tremor in her voice.He looked at her in surprise.However, he quickly returned to his normal expression, nodded, and said, "Thank you.... But now, there is no—"

Before he finished speaking, Shimada next to him suddenly spoke loudly.

"Just please...uh—" He seemed to stumble because he had only now realized that he didn't know the name of the woman in front of him.

Liu Quan and Mr. Xiangma turned their attention to him.Liu Quan hesitated for a moment, smiled, and added understandingly: "My name is Shinoda Kazuo."

Chief Soma did not make a sound.Kui Shimada let out an ah, showing a happy expression.

"Then please ask Shinoda-kun to go to Goryokaku to report the situation here to Mr. Hijikata!" He said in a rough voice, "Anyway, things can't be better, and we have sent three people to the Goryokaku and other places ask for help...but, but...!"

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his questioning gaze to the chief planner next to him.

Perhaps because he understood the question marks and disbelief in her eyes, Master Xiangma smiled wryly.

"Ah." He affirmed Shimada's statement.

"So far, no support has been sent here. ... We have been here for many days. If there are a few more waves of enemy troops, it will be very troublesome..."

Liu Quan:? !

Before the startled expression on her face was finished, Kui Shimada said in a rough and angry voice: "...Maybe those who received the report didn't report the news to Mr. Hijikata at all! Because, because... If Mr. Hijikata knew, he would definitely... definitely not ignore everyone in the Shinsengumi! I just know!"

Liu Quan: "..."

She didn't know what to say for a moment.On this fateful day, the fate that Tufang will face later rises from the depths of her memory and weighs heavily on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

However, what Shimada wanted to say—probably had been accumulated in his chest for a long time—hadn't finished.

He turned to Liu Quan angrily, as if eager to find some approval and support from her, and asked, "You must think the same way, right?!"

Liu Quan had no choice but to smile wryly and nodded, and replied ambiguously: "Ah... indeed... Mr. Hijikata, no matter what, you won't leave the Shinsengumi behind—"

For some reason, it was such a plain sentence, but after saying it, it made her nose sore for no reason.

"...Mr. Hijikata, even if you risk your life, you will come to save everyone." She added in a low voice.

Chief Soma stared at her in a little surprise.Shimada nodded vigorously.

"Look! Soma! Let me tell you that she knows Mr. Hijikata very well!" He said loudly, as if he was simply happy because of this.

"Saito, you can't make a mistake!" He continued to emphasize vigorously.

"Since Saito asked her to come, it means that she is a trustworthy person. How about it? Let her try it? If there is a woman who is crying and desperately wants to break in to see Hijikata-san If so... Maybe those people will lower their vigilance a little bit? Really, at this time, they still have to rely on Mr. Hijikata without assertiveness, and tie Mr. Hijikata in Goryokaku to prevent him from coming! If this is the case, Why didn't you listen to Hijikata-san sooner!..."

"Shimada!" Chief Soma shouted, cutting off Shimada's angry words.

Shimada fell silent.But then he opened his eyes wide again, staring at Liu Quan in front of him with a look full of expectation and hope.

"How?... You will bring the word for us, and Mr. Hijikata will support us, right?"

For a while, Liu Quan felt that it was difficult for him to answer such a question, and it was also difficult for him to look directly at Shimada's frank eyes full of hope and trust.

Let her say what?Say sorry I know Hijikata-san won't come again?I'm sorry, I know Mr. Hijikata will die on the way to Bentendaiba, but I still want to watch him die? !Say sorry, I know the Shinsengumi can no longer exist, but I won't do anything for you in order to preserve history? ...

She finally pressed down hard on the back of her stiff neck.Once, twice, nodded slowly.

"Okay. I'll go." She replied tersely.

"I will definitely meet Hijikata-san and tell him what's going on here... Tell him that even without other support, everyone has been fighting..."

Shimada grinned happily.

However, Master Soma looked at her with worried eyes.Maybe there is a vague misgiving in that look, "We didn't know this woman before, should we trust her based on her own words, and ask her to bring the news of Benten Odaiba to Mr. Hijikata?"

Liu Quan saw the content of that doubt.Yet she decided to ignore it.

Ah, maybe, she is also waiting for such an opportunity——

Waiting for someone to give her an aboveboard reason to let her meet that person openly.

Waiting for someone to say to her openly, please go see Mr. Hijikata.
