Chapter 1026 [Chapter 6] 40
Really... what kind of scary and blunt things are you talking about? !
Although he had already passed the age of a hairy boy, he suddenly felt his cheeks burning, and even his ears were throbbing with blood.
Reciting the haiku he wrote, smiling and talking about how lucky he was to be back in front of him, standing on tiptoe in his arms and trying to hook his neck, it seems that he has ulterior motives——
ah ah.What on earth is she trying to do?
Although he had such doubts in his heart, at this age, if he saw a cute girl—who was also his lover—make such an action, of course, he would not be so incomprehensible that he couldn't figure it out. Step by step what she intends to do.
Therefore, he followed the force of her arm hooking the back of his neck like a stream (?), and bowed his face.
After a long period of hardship, separation, and unforgettable farewell, fate finally pushed her back before him.
She actually had a piece of candy in her mouth.
It seems to be Jinpingtang.
He tasted the sweetness of Jinpingtang in her mouth, and he seemed to have returned to the Mibu village many years ago.On those sunny days, after patrolling the market, the general manager would return to the village with a small bag of Jinpingtang in his hand. When he saw the children of the landlord Yagi’s family, he would each give out a piece of candy; When clearing Yuan Xueye, he would also send out a piece with a smile——
Saito, who is strict and serious, would first thank and then refuse with a very serious attitude, saying that he is no longer a child and does not need to eat sweets; Chizuru would probably take it in surprise to thank him, or blushing as if teasing the general manager He stammered and protested when he said some more words to her; as for Qingyuan Xueye, he was the one with the most unrestrained attitude: after she thanked her and took it, she would throw it into her mouth without wasting a moment, and then used As soon as the tongue was pressed, a small lump immediately bulged out on one side of the cheek.
She would hold the piece of candy back and forth in her mouth with her tongue and not chew it up immediately, so the little bulge on her cheek would appear here and there for a while, as if she was busy accumulating in autumn The pine cones are as funny and cute as the squirrels collecting food.
Hijikata was surprised that he would notice these irrelevant little details in his busy schedule at that time, and he has kept them firmly in mind until today.
Perhaps, this is the so-called "flash memory fragments".
No matter how long it is buried in time, it will still shine when you think of it. It is one of the best moments in life.
The tip of his tongue tasted that long-lost sweetness.He couldn't tell if it was the sweetness of the golden flat candy that melted in her mouth, or it came from herself; just hugging her like this, in a trance, he seemed to have returned to an afternoon many years ago.
The sky is clear and bright, and the top of the pagoda at Todaiji Temple seems to be floating far away among the blue sky and white clouds; the shoji door is open, and the grass and trees in the courtyard are all sprouting, and the breeze blowing into the house brings a bit of spring breath.He sat cross-legged in his room, bowed his head and wrote on the documents; the chief executive stepped on the corridor, poked his head in and jokingly said, "It's such a good weather that you should go for a walk outside, Mr. Hijikata is too wasteful."
Then Kondo-kun strode in, put down a pack of three-color dumplings wrapped in oil paper, and said, "I happened to pass by that delicious restaurant when I was out on errands, so I bought some and came back to eat with everyone."
Then the general manager volunteered to call everyone to his room to gather and share food dumplings.Everyone came one after another, and there was no room for him to sit in his room, so someone sat in the corridor; Qianzuru went to make tea for everyone, and Yukiha walked to everyone one by one with the paper bag, and divided the dumplings for everyone.Chizuru was the first to deliver the teacup to Kondo-kun and him, while Yukiha was the opposite. After distributing the dumplings, she returned to him at the end, knelt down softly, and quietly handed the paper bag to him I put the haiku book that I hadn't had time to put away, and it happened to cover the cover tightly, avoiding the eyes of the chief who deliberately dangled around as if trying to make trouble...
A long sigh escaped his throat.
It was truly the most wonderful day of my life.Everyone is there, and so is she...
He had thought how nice it would be to live like that forever.But the torrent of the times is rolling forward, and he cannot stop it with his own power.
The torrent of the times took away Kondo-kun, Souji, Shannan, Gensou, Yamazaki, Hirasuke, and then Harada, Saito, Shinpachi... Finally, it was her.
What remains, what is left to him, is only the belief they once pursued and guarded together, only the name Shinsengumi they once established and supported together, and the memories that symbiotic with this name——
He finally knows now that the taste of that memory is both sweet and bitter.
He finally let go of her, but stayed only a few inches above her lips, and breathed heavily on her face.
"It was you who stubbornly chased me back then and said that you wanted me to live for the sake of the Shinsengumi's name to last forever in the world, to live for the sake of rectifying the name of the Shinsengumi..."
His voice was low, with a sigh at the end.That sigh mixed with his already deep and magnetic voice, almost like a subwoofer with magic power, caused an indelible resonance in her chest.
"You, you can do it—" He suddenly laughed.That almost laughing exclamation seemed to have a bit of intimidating magic power, and it shook her heart in an instant.
"When I finally waited for this moment to come, you made me realize that if I want to finally clear the name of the Shinsengumi, I will have to fight with you..."
He said this sentence slowly, and the tone of laughter just now had a layer of sentimentality unconsciously.
Liu Quan suddenly felt that he couldn't say a word.
What can be said to explain all this contradiction and confusion?To put it simply, I have difficulties, I didn't do it on purpose, I was here to save the world?
Although it is true, it sounds like a lie to a child.
She lowered her eyes, feeling that she couldn't speak no matter what.
Just as her guilt slowly surged up and was about to overwhelm her, the deputy chief suddenly cupped her cheeks with both hands, and turned her head to fix it.Just when she was feeling confused for a while, not knowing what the deputy chief intended by doing this, the next moment, he bowed his head slightly, put his forehead on hers lightly, and touched her head; then, He said softly:
"...Really, don't keep embarrassing your boss? It goes without saying how difficult the task was for me at the beginning, and now I have to add even more difficulty to this task... With a subordinate like you, what is the matter? Is it enough for the boss to worry about it?"
Although what he said sounded like accusations, and he used the most distant relationship between "boss" and "subordinate", but he just touched her head and said it in a low voice, but there was an unspeakable intimacy His tone was not harsh at all, but very gentle, so gentle that it filled her eyes with a kind of weak moisture for an instant.
She opened her mouth, tried several times, and finally managed to utter one sentence.
"Because it's Hijikata-san...so I think it's going to be fine..."
Tufang was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing unexpectedly.He didn't let her go, just held her face in his hands, pressed his forehead against her forehead, shook his head slightly, and said, "...it's not that easy to do."
He paused, then continued: "...However, as you said, since I survived, I think it means there must be a mission that I can accomplish."
Liu Quan:! ! !
"Mr. Hijikata... Aren't you angry that I chose to stay with the Satsuma Army for the time being...?" She murmured, because she found it difficult to see the expression that the deputy chief might have, and closed her eyes like an ostrich. She closed her eyes and felt that her conscience was trembling—not telling the real reason, staying on the side of the undead enemy, saving the Satsuma people under his nose... and she did this, but she still wanted to Want to get the understanding and tolerance of the deputy head of the ghost?The development of the situation...doesn't it make the deputy chief OOC? !What absurd and incredible Mary Sue would it take to do this? !
Hijikata was silent for a moment before answering her, as if he was thinking about how to express his thoughts accurately.Finally, he nodded briefly—still in this state of pressing his forehead against hers—and said, "I'm angry. I'm so angry. In the past, even a hundred harakiri would not be enough!"
Liu Quan: "..."
No, what about the OOC of tolerance and understanding? !
Noticing that her body was stiff for a moment, he suddenly smiled, grabbed her cheek, slightly moved his face back, and looked directly at her.
She subconsciously opened her eyes because of his action, but when her eyes fell on his face, she found that he didn't show an angry expression—of course he didn't smile—he just watched him calmly. She has deep eyes.
"I've thought a lot since the last time you hijacked Xixiang Cong Daojun."
"Although I couldn't be sure that it was you at that time, I also seriously thought about what kind of difficulties made you have to stay with Satsuma."
"Then, I thought about it a lot. Things about you, things about you, things about the past, things about Shinsengumi at that time..."
Liu Quan:? !
Ignoring her eyes that widened in surprise, he continued, "...about Shannan-kun, and some other people. Hehe, Geshan..."
Liu Quan:! ! !
He... what the hell is he talking about? !
The author has something to say:
February 9:
I'm sorry, but I still want to continue brushing sugar without thinking [You are enough
So let's read another chapter of chatting, chatting, hugging, hugging [Hey!
A little note: The Kawai and Katsuyama mentioned at the end of this chapter are both team members who were seppuku in the Shinsengumi era because they violated the rules of the game.
Of course, they didn’t commit seppuku because of their heinous crimes, so they are the ones worthy of sympathy, but they are just mourning their misfortune and angering them for not being able to live up to their expectations.
Next update: every other day, in the afternoon or evening of the 30th
