Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

There was an inexplicable familiarity in that tone, and now, not many people would call him "Team Leader Saito" by a name that had been lost in time for ten years.He almost blurted out to ask the young man why he called him so, but the next moment, the young man in front of him was already grinning, with a generous and calm expression, without any sense of guilt.

"I'm sorry, I just heard Ino-kun call you that. I think you seemed quite happy when you heard that name... so I thought, this must be a good name," he said.

"I'm sorry to call you that without authorization, but I think you still seem to be quite suitable for this title—"

Fujita Goro: "..."

He was almost taken in by the young man's words.He was silent for a moment, coughed lightly, slightly lowered his brows and eyes, and did not make any comments or reactions to the title "Team Leader Saito", but asked:

"Then what should I call you?"

He looked at the young man with a trace of sharp inquiry and examination, as if he wanted to see through the gentle, harmless and ordinary appearance, and see through the hidden and unknown side of the young man.

But that young man didn't seem to have any flaws at all.Neither his smile nor his attitude changed at all.

"Sanlang." The young man replied in a casual tone.

"My name is Saburo."

After Fujita Goro left, the young man who claimed to be "Saburo" continued to look for the supplies that Ino Tadaka should receive.In the end, he dragged a wooden box out from the deepest part of the material pile, lifted it up with a hey, and stacked it to the top of the wooden boxes at Ino's feet, and took out the item of the list that Ino brought from his pocket. One check.

"Bullets... rifles... military uniforms...well, it should be fine this time..." he said as if talking to himself.

Ino looked at Saburo's forehead with sweat oozing from the side, and thought carefully that it was himself first, and then team leader Saito, who had indeed caused him a lot of trouble, so he spoke to him a little apologetically, "It's been a while. It's really impressive..."

While continuing to check the items, Saburo responded casually: "Well...it's okay...? There's nothing I can do about it, the recent battle situation..."

Ino wanted to say something more, but he led the remnants of his team to fight in Taharazaka for several days and nights, and he didn't know how long he hadn't had a good meal; then he retreated from the battlefield and hurried all the way here before stopping , After that, a series of things like arranging medical treatment for the wounded, reporting to his superiors, receiving supplies according to the list, and so on, kept him busy, forgetting that his stomach was already empty.At this moment, his stomach made a protesting sound, which made him blush instantly.

If it was normal, he wouldn't feel much.But now, after all, he was here at the brigade headquarters, and he was facing people he was not familiar with, so he felt a little more embarrassed for no reason.

However, Saburo seemed indifferent, perhaps he had seen too many people who "just retired from the battlefield and came to collect supplies hungry", so he calmly raised his eyes and glanced at Ino's stomach After thinking for a while, he took out a small oil-paper package from his pocket and handed it to Ino.

Ino subconsciously thanked it, then took it and opened it, only to find that inside was a piece of dim sum that was so overwhelmed that it was hard to see what it looked like originally, and only the shape remained intact.

He hesitated for a moment, but didn't move.

Sensing his hesitation, Saburo raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Don't worry, you can eat it. I also have some connections...but if you stay until now, don't be too demanding on appearance."

Ino was embarrassed again, felt that his hesitation was a little rude, apologized hastily, stared at the piece in the oil paper bag and could barely see the original white snack, opened his mouth and swallowed it whole, chewing carelessly After a few swallows, he swallowed it, and almost choked on his stomach again.

Maybe it's because his funny look is really a bit funny, Saburo glanced at him again, then the corners of his lips curled up, and a little smile appeared on his face again.

Ino thought that he could only fight and kill, and he was not a particular person; but for some reason, the smile on this young man's face at this moment made him feel a bit embarrassed, as if he had shown his face in front of a real person. As if he was timid—he hastily defended: "It's not like I haven't been in a really good store before...but now I don't care about so much, ha ha, ha ha..."

His words seemed to have touched Saburo, and he saw that the smile on the face in front of him seemed to have faded, and then, Saburo put down the list, and showed a strange smile with his lips crooked towards him.

"That's right....Looking at your appearance, you must have done great things before..." He said in a trance.

Although he said words similar to compliments, there was not much admiration in his eyes to match them—that kind of attitude, if you want Ino to say it, it feels like... a long, long time ago, something The way the group leader Okita of the group talked to them, although what he said sounded good, but the attitude was a bit perfunctory; probably because the extraordinary swordsmanship of the group leader Okita is really not on the same level as everyone else, so I said The words come naturally and also have a somewhat detached attitude——

In front of this young man who seemed to be younger than himself, Ino subconsciously stood up straight, showed his previous attitude of concentrating on Team Leader Okita, thought about his words, and replied: "Ah...those are all in the past It’s about it. But back then, it was true that I had a lot of money, enough to go to a few good shops..."

"Really?" Saburo seemed to have finally checked the list, folded the list in half and put it on the top wooden box, patted the list with his palm, raised his head and said with a smile: "New The selection team was quite willing to pay the salary back then, wasn’t it?”

Ino:! ! !

The term "Shinsengumi" that has not been mentioned for a long time suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and his subconscious first reaction was to take a step back, almost reaching his waist - and then found that it was empty.His own saber had already been slashed on Tawarasaka, and it was completely lost in the battle.

Saburo's attitude was very normal, seeing his subconscious reaction like a swordsman, he just raised his eyebrows.

"What's the matter? I can't guess who is also known as 'a wolf on the streets of Kyoto' and 'Group Leader Saito'." He said in a casual tone, as if This inference is a matter of course, and everyone should draw it immediately.

"Even His Majesty has long pardoned the members of the Shinsengumi, what are you still worried about?"

Saburo's unusually bright black eyes slid across Ino's face.

"Aren't you and him working for His Majesty now? Even people like me have heard of the resounding reputation of the 'Newly Selected Brigade'." He continued calmly.

"...'Shinsengumi' is no longer a name that needs to be escaped." He paused, his tone becoming meaningful.

"Perhaps many people still don't understand it very well... But, no matter what, the current 'challenging enemies' are those Satsuma people." There was a hint of a faint smile in the end of his voice.

"It's not the 'Shinsengumi' of the year. So, you can face this matter openly."

Ino:! ?

"Besides, 'Shinsengumi' is synonymous with superb swordsmanship... Fighting with those Satsuma people on Tawarazaka, maybe you are waiting for such a savior to reinforce you." Saburo added slowly.

Ino was stunned for a moment, then slowly bent the corners of his lips and smiled.

"...Maybe it's true." He replied in a low voice.

From the appearance of the young man in front of him, his age and so on are almost totally wrong - he looks too young, not at all like one of those "Mibu wolves" who were able to roam the streets of Kyoto ten years ago ; and his face is also a little strange to Ino Tadaka - however, the slight sense of familiarity in his body, attitude and words is getting stronger and stronger.

He seemed to have recognized Saitoichi, the former leader of the third group of the Shinsengumi—that is, Fujita Goro just now—but he covered it up so well that he didn’t show any surprise or nervousness at all; Finally, when he mentioned Saitoichi, his attitude was too calm and quiet, like a calm deep pool, with turbulent currents and whirlpools brewing under the water surface, but they were completely covered by the tranquility and depth on the surface.

However, what do those count?

It has been ten years since the Shinsengumi disappeared from this world.Those companions, enemies, friends, opponents... Those pasts that criss-cross the streets and alleys of Kyoto, when I think about it now, they are all as pale as the face of the young woman he stayed in the small house in Kyoto back then. I thought he would remember it deeply Yes, thinking about it now, it seems unclear, as if covered in a layer of mist.

Back then, he left Kyoto with the Shinsengumi, and he never saw that woman again.She was a waitress in a tea house, and she had promised someone before, but the man died shortly after she got married, so she came out to work again to make a living, and met him not long after.He rented a small house from a Machi family as his servant, and he couldn't say that he and she became husband and wife, at most it was just a dewy marriage—but in short, they lived there until they left Kyoto.

At that time, he was still called Kumebe Shoki, and he had forgotten many details about it, but he still remembered the strange thing, that is, when he came out of that house, he could see the pagoda of Todaiji Temple in the distance as soon as he looked up.

At that time, he also invited Team Leader Saito to eat in his lower room by the way.Of course, it was just a casual promise made when he was bored on the way to work, but he remembered that Team Leader Saito thought about it with a serious face, and then agreed.

In the next few days, he was so busy that he couldn't help himself, and he had a lot of trouble thinking about how to entertain Team Leader Saito; finally he decided to go to the butcher's shop in the market called "monster house" to secretly "buy medicine"— —Actually, it was buying meat. According to the regulations of the shogunate at that time, all four-legged animals were not allowed to eat, so everyone could only secretly buy and cook at home—come back.

As a result, when it was the day of the treat, when they finished patrolling and closed their team back to the village, they saw the mighty deputy chief who was usually in their minds, standing in the courtyard with an angry look on his face, as soon as they entered the gate. Xiao Lin, a vivacious soldier from the team who sneaked up to the wall, winked and told everyone in a low voice that it was Team Leader Okita from the first team and Kiyohara from their team. Unfortunately, the invitation was exposed: the deputy leader asked why Team Leader Saito went out with him, and Team Leader Saito honestly admitted that today he was invited to go out for dinner at his house; A question about whether the deputy chief should go with him, but in the end——

What happened in the end?

He withdrew his thoughts and squeezed a smile towards the young man in front of him.

"Many, thank you for the hospitality." He neatly folded the sheet of oiled paper that had previously wrapped the snack, and put it in his pocket; then he decided to end the conversation.

"Next time, if I can come back alive, I will invite you to drink again... It is considered as a thank you for your care today. Thanks to your care today, I gave me snacks to satisfy my hunger... If you like this kind of snacks, you will have a chance in the future If I invite you to eat again, it will be considered as a repayment for your kindness today..."

Saburo listened to him stumbling and saying the polite words that were not fluent, and the more he listened, the more he was surprised, his face showed a somewhat funny and funny look; finally, when Ino felt that he didn't know what to say, Saburo Suddenly shook his head calmly and smiled.

"No, you don't need to give me any snacks in return." He said gently.

For some reason, when he said these words, the sense of politeness and alienation that Saburo originally possessed disappeared.He seemed extraordinarily calm and gentle, as if the subject was a pleasant one.

Ino was a little surprised, but it still made people feel a little embarrassed and puzzled to be politely declined in return.He lowered his head to move the wooden boxes, and while moving the heavy boxes, he regretted that he didn't call two more people to help him - but there were not many intact and alive people left in their team after the war. The person who moved the box——In order to get rid of this feeling of embarrassment, he asked casually: "Don't you like that kind of snack? Then I can give you something else in return... What do you like to eat?"

He is not a fool either.Their regiment suffered heavy casualties, and this young man named Sanlang found all the supplies he needed without any compromise at all, and the speed was fast and good, which somewhat gave him some sympathy; Of course, he is not the kind of person who does not know what is good or bad, and it is always right to have a good relationship with Saburo, who is in charge of distributing supplies——

With all his strength, he lifted a wooden box onto his shoulders.In the middle of getting together, he seemed to see an emotional smile flashing across Saburo's face.

Then he heard Saburo say: "Although it's a bit outrageous to say that... But, I have received a lot of cherry cakes from others before."

He paused and added something.

"...I quite like it."
