Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Following the exit with a thick nasal sound, a small gust of wind suddenly blew up in the room inexplicably.

The wind blew her temple hair and the corners of her clothes, and it also made the documents and papers on the large desk in front of her rustle.

However, this strange wind came and went faster, and it only lasted for a dozen seconds before suddenly stopping.The moment it stopped, Liu Quan suddenly heard the rhythmic footsteps of boots hitting the floor from the corridor outside the house.

She turned her head suddenly, just in time to see a man striding in from outside.

He was wearing a black suit, and even had a pocket watch chain on the buckle; the same handsome face was different from what she remembered, but there were some inexplicable places that made people feel a little familiar.He stopped at the door, stared at her standing in the room in surprise, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Liu Quan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something; but in the end, she only uttered the most infallible words at this moment.

"I was asked by Soma-kun and Shimada-kun who guarded Bentendaiba to break out of the siege and come to Goryokaku for help."

The man was taken aback, his face suddenly sank.

"Benten Odaiba?!"

He repeated the name of the place, and looked at her with a strong look of suspicion.

"So, who are you?" He asked calmly, strode into the room, went straight around the big desk, and stood behind the desk where the owner belonged.

"How did Soma and Shimada entrust you with such an important matter?"

Liu Quan smiled wryly, but did not look away from his gaze, and replied with a frank and calm attitude: "My surname is Shinoda, and I used to be a member of the Aizu Clan's women's team."

Sure enough, the keywords "Aizu" and "women's team" had a certain effect.

The man's frowning seemed to relax a little.

"Aizu?!" He pondered, and turned his suspicious eyes to her again.

"Since you are a member of the Aizu Women's Team, why are you here now?"

It's not exactly the same as Soma and Shimada's association with Xiao Yi's safety when they heard the keyword "Aizu". Liu Quan noticed that the man in front of him, although he heard the keyword "Aizu", A small ray of light in his eyes suddenly lit up; but soon, that ray of light was covered by a deeper haze.

Sure enough... as expected of the real person.

Overriding feelings, the first thing to consider is the overall situation and background, and whether there is a deeper conspiracy or plan behind these words-although he must also want to know Saito's whereabouts, right?

Liu Quan knew deeply that the time had come to display his best acting skills.Because the person in front of her was the real person in history, so in front of him——in front of this person who didn't know her at all, and didn't have any special feelings for her beyond normal, she didn't have the first time. Second chance for error.

She took a deep breath.

"Because when I was in Aizu, I met Yamaguchi-kun of the Shinsengumi. Later, before the fall of Aizu Castle, we also participated in the battle of the Tathagata Raid together..."

After the man in front of him heard the more crucial word "Raid on Tathagata Hall", the expression on his face finally fluctuated even more.

"Tathagata Hall...?!" He repeated the name of the place in a low voice, then suddenly raised his eyes and stared at her with burning eyes.

"So, what happened after that?! The members of the Shinsengumi who participated in the battle at Tathagata Hall, all—"

His voice suddenly stopped.

Yanagizumi remembered that at this time in history, the people of the Hakodate Shinsengumi did not know that a large part of the members of the Aizu Shinsengumi miraculously escaped from the Difficult; now they still think that all the companions who stayed in Aizu died in that battle-this fact cannot be changed.

So even though she wanted to comfort him and tell him "Ichi-kun is fine, he survived", or "Despite the horrific battle, many people miraculously survived in the end, which is really great." ; However, at this moment, she can only repeat lies in vain.

"I... I don't know. Under the fierce artillery fire from the new government army, the trench was blown up... I, I crawled out of the soil, I don't know what happened to Yamaguchi-kun and the others..."

The man in front of him let out a heavy sigh.

"yes……?"

However, that sentimentality seemed to be only a momentary thing, and he regained his composure.

"So? You came here regardless of the long distance?" He asked, the suspicion in his voice not weakening a bit.

Liu Quan couldn't help but smiled wryly, a trace of sadness appeared on his expression.

"Actually... because Yamaguchi-kun once saved my life when I was in Tathagata Hall."

Her tone became more frank, and there was still a hint of sadness in her voice.

"At that time, the 'Misuke Cannon' brought by the new government army rang, and the shell happened to land above the opening of the trench... If Yamaguchi-kun hadn't thrown me down in time, I might have died long ago..."

Although the result of "death" is fictitious, the fact that Saitoichi - the real one in history - once saved her in Tathagata Hall is real.

"... At that time, in the interval between the brief artillery fire and the attack, Yamaguchi-kun recalled to me his companions in the Shinsengumi."

"He said you went to Sendai. Let me find you..." She used ambiguous words.

"After leaving Tathagata Hall, I was thinking, then... just as he said, go north and find you. After I find you, I will tell you that the Shinsengumi's Chengzi flag is also in Aizu. Floating all the way to the end—"

Her voice choked uncontrollably, and she couldn't speak anymore.

Perhaps it was such an expression of true feelings that finally made the real Hijikata feel the sincerity in her words.

He looked away and sighed.

"...You just said that Bentendaiba needs rescue?" He changed the subject abruptly.

Thinking of the consequences of this question, Liu Quan felt speechless for a while.

However, it is not acceptable not to answer, as it will arouse the suspicion of the earth party - she could only hold her breath and nodded vigorously.

Hijikata's brows slowly wrinkled.He suddenly leaned forward, separated his hands with a snap and pressed them heavily on the table, staring down at the huge sand table on the table.

"Really...?" He replied with a sigh, as if he was in deep thought.

"Are you already struggling at this moment... Can't hold on..."

Liu Quan: "..."

She didn't know what to say at the moment.Because Hijikata's expression looked a little strange.

It was as if what he wanted-whether it was the final victory or the perfect plan-was right in front of his eyes; but at this moment, the news she brought suddenly erected a gap between him and what he longed for. A barrier; without breaking through this barrier, he will never be able to achieve the victory he wants—or in other words, choosing to abandon this barrier in order to win is not what he wants to see.

Now his face is full of sternness, and there is some kind of pain that is difficult to decide for a while in the frown.He stared intently at the huge sand table on the table, moved a small flag representing the new government army from the top of Mount Hakodate, and wedged it into the surrounding area of ​​Bentendaiba; When a small flag was inserted into the edge of Benten Odaiba, he stopped, and did not let go of his hand immediately, the back of the hand holding the small flag stretched faintly.

Suddenly, without raising his head, he said:

"...I originally thought that Kuroda's base camp should be empty at this time, because they have already devoted most of their troops to the battles in Hakodate..."

Liu Quan: "...Huh?!"

She froze for a moment.

...Deputy chief, are you telling her his original battle plan? !If he didn't have an OOC, why did he tell such an important thing to her who met by chance and had never met before today? !Because he is not the deputy chief she knew, he is a real historical figure, the real deputy chief of the Shinsengumi, the real Ezo Republic Army and—

Unless, now he thinks it doesn't matter to tell her these things? !

...Think that even if she leaks the plan, it's irrelevant now? !

"Mr. Hijikata!" she yelled.

Seemingly taken aback by her yelling, Tu Fang finally raised his head and glared at her with dissatisfaction.

"What are you shouting for?" He asked in dissatisfaction. He suddenly raised his hand and threw the remaining small flag on the sand table with a snap. Then he lowered his head and opened a drawer of the desk. A small box came and was solemnly placed on the table.

During the whole process, he also muttered: "... I don't know why that guy Saito sent you here to report... Although he said that he came from Aizu, it is almost the same as Edo It's as hard to deal with as a woman..."

Liu Quan was stunned, and then for some reason, the corners of his lips turned up slowly and quickly.

A woman from Edo... Sure enough, no matter which deputy chief it is, can't avoid this old trick?

She raised her eyebrows, not stupid enough to say this emotion, but quietly watched Tufang open the lid of the small wooden box.When her eyes fell on the items in the box, the faint smile on her face disappeared instantly!

Because what was placed in the box was a piece of light onion-colored fabric painted with white mountain patterns!

Tufang reached out and picked up the piece of fabric.Now Liu Quan can see it in its entirety.It seemed that it was indeed cut from a piece of Shinsengumi's haori. Hijikata held it and looked at it for a while, then folded it a few times, folded it into a long strip, and tied it across the forehead to the on the head.

Liu Quan:? !

She still couldn't see Hijikata's purpose in tying a strip of cloth that was suspected to be cut from Shinsengumi's light onion-colored feathers on the forehead in this way.She couldn't help but widen her eyes, fixedly staring at the light onion-colored cloth strip with a mountain pattern on his forehead, and questioned "Aren't you the way to tie up the Death Squad?", but she dared not say it.

Perhaps Tufang sensed her strange gaze and glanced over in a very flat manner.But after this glance, he suddenly paused; the next second, he burst out laughing.

"Ha! . . . What, that face of yours," he said.

Liu Quan:? ?

Perhaps it was because of the stupid question marks all over her face, Hijikata showed a horrible expression.

"...You have envious eyes." He added, and patted the light onion-colored cloth strip tied on his forehead with his right hand, and asked with interest: "Why? Don't you Want to get one like this too?"

Liu Quan: "..."

She thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

"Indeed." She replied honestly, her gaze still resting on Hijikata's forehead.

Tufang slightly raised his eyebrows, showing a little real interest in his expression.

"Aren't you afraid?... After all, this is the haori worn by the 'Wolf of Mibu' back then. To be honest, people who hate this light-colored haori may be everywhere."

For a moment, before Liu Quan answered, he suddenly felt his throat tighten and his voice choked.

"... nothing to be afraid of."

She tried her best to overcome the powerful sadness that suddenly surged in her chest, and answered loudly with a smothered voice.

"For Aizu, it represents what everyone strives for and indulges in..."

As if very surprised to hear such an answer, Hijikata was slightly taken aback.

"……what?"

After shouting this sentence, Liu Quan quickly cleared his mind.

In fact, there was no need to think too much, because what the other deputy chief—the one she was familiar with—said was enough for the current answer.

"Of course there are people who hate the Shinsengumi, but more people will use the light-colored haori and the Makoto flag together as a signpost..."

"Mr. Hijikata just needs to lead people like that forward together!"

"Those who don't understand now... One day in the future, they will definitely understand the meaning of your belief and persistence..."

Yep, that's what happens next.It's a pity that she can't really tell him frankly, and can only tell what will happen in the future with the help of this kind of "wish" tone similar to wishful thinking.

"The spirit of Shinsengumi will definitely be passed on for a long time."

"……I think so."

A look of genuine surprise appeared on Hijikata's face.He stared straight at Liu Quan, as if it was the first time he was facing this young woman who suddenly appeared in his office with suspicious background and identity.

Then, his surprised expression slowly softened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Oh, you dare to say it." He commented.

He took a big step, walked around the desk, and came to her.

Just staring at her for a moment, the smile on the corner of his lips seemed to widen a bit.

"... No wonder Saito asked you to come to me. Now I can probably understand his thoughts a little bit." He said with a smile.

Liu Quan:? !

"He must think that your tenacious wishful thinking will be appreciated." The deputy chief said.

Liu Quan: "..."

Ah, although it sounds like a compliment, but for some reason, it always makes people feel that something is subtle...?

However, the deputy chief did not expect any good reaction from her.After saying this, his gaze went straight over her shoulder and looked out the door.

"Really, those guys are making trouble before I get down to business!" He complained half-truthfully, and the smile on his lips slowly disappeared.

"Then go and rescue those former companions first, and then go to take off Kuroda's head." He said in such a relaxed tone, and before he finished speaking, he walked around Liu Quan and continued to walk towards the door go.

He didn't ask Liu Quan if he would go back to Bentendaiba with him to rescue the Shinsengumi who were fighting there.Perhaps it is because she thinks that as a woman, it is a miracle that she was able to come to Hakodate from thousands of miles away, and she should not be asked to do more things that are difficult to achieve.

Liu Quan also had no intention of following his footsteps.

She just stood in the middle of Tufang's executive room, seeing him striding out of the door, and when his figure was about to turn and disappear into the shadows in the corridor, she suddenly raised her voice again, and blurted out: "Mr. Tufang! "

Tu Fang stopped in the corridor, turned around and looked at her with a strange expression on his face.

"You, what else do you want to say?" he asked.

Liu Quan opened his mouth.At that moment, the memory of her rushing out of the Fushimi Magistracy, and Hijikata standing in the middle of the hall holding a knife, shouting "Hey! Don't die! Come back alive!" behind her, revived again.

Her eyes filled with tears in an instant.Fortunately, the real deputy chief had already walked into the corridor at this moment, and there was a distance between them. It was probably impossible for him to see her weak performance.

But what to say?Also say to him "Hey! Don't die! Come back alive!"?

However, no matter how much she wanted to say this, she couldn't.

He cannot come back alive.This is history.

this is the truth.

This is fate.

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Tu Fang suddenly spoke up.

"If you want to say something like 'Don't die,' forget it," he said.

Liu Quan:! ! !

She couldn't help but suddenly opened her eyes wide, staring at Hijikata's figure in astonishment.

He stood there far away, his figure seemed to melt into the shadows in the next second.

He seemed to be smiling.

"Because of course I won't die. The contest has just begun." He said loudly.

Then, he turned around, without looking back, and strode out.

For some reason, when Liu Quan chased to the door of the room and watched his figure disappear at the end of the corridor, her nose was inexplicably sour, and the tears that had been in her eyes just fell down on her cheeks.

She just stood there, the light from the room projected on the ground in front of the door, stretching her lonely figure very long.

Looking at the empty corridor, she moved her lips and said silently:

【Don't die please, Mr. Hijikata...】

Such a small wish can only be said slowly with mouth movements in such a deserted place.Can't be heard, can't be known...

Hijikata-san, don't die, come back alive...
