Chapter 1027 [Chapter 6] 41
Those names that have been dusty for a long time, even not considered very important in the Shinsengumi, were suddenly mentioned by the deputy chief, and it took her a little time to dig out the bits and pieces of these names from the depths of her memory. information.
Kisaburo Kawai is the assignee of the Shinsengumi—that is, the accountant.He was implicated by Takeda Kanyanagi's unauthorized embezzlement of public funds, and he was finally cut up because he could not clarify the charge of "embezzlement of public funds".After his death, he finally found out enough evidence of the incident and cleared Takeda—but Hehe was implicated by Takeda in this way, and Takeda did not testify for him when he was charged; There is no way to escape the guilt, but because of Kawai's death, there are quite a few people in the Shinsengumi who sympathize with him.
Katsuyama Takehachiro is the supervisor of the Shinsengumi. When Nagakura, Harada and others submitted the Jianbai Letter to the Aizu Domain because of their disagreement, he was one of the drafters of the Jianbai Letter.Later, although the establishment of the white book was suppressed by Aizu, Ge Shan had to cut his seppuku because of it.
Strictly speaking, Liu Quan could understand the standpoint and starting point of the deputy chief's severe punishment for them at that time, but she also expressed a certain degree of sympathy for these two people—He He and Ge Shan were both cowardly and timid, with soft ears. People, when threatened by Takeda or persuaded by Nagakura, they have no choice but to obey.
From a broad perspective, people with such a personality are actually not suitable for the dangerous life of licking blood in the Shinsengumi.But they themselves want to choose to join the Shinsengumi, dreaming of unrealistic samurai dreams, but they don’t have the corresponding strong consciousness and heart to support them. In the end, they are really implicated by such a simple and stupid thing——
But now, she heard the deputy chief say calmly: "...Thinking about their affairs, maybe I was too strict back then."
Liu Quan blurted out: "No! It's not like that!"
Interrupted by her sudden raised voice, the deputy chief looked at her in surprise.
Liu Quan didn't care about how smooth the wording was, and said hastily: "Indeed, whether it is Mr. Hehe or Mr. Ge Shan, because they are people without any great ability, for the sake of the kind of people who should be smarter, they can avoid it." It would make people feel sympathetic to the trouble of violating the law in the game and cutting seppuku..."
She paused, sorted out her thoughts, and immediately continued before the deputy chief said: "However, the Shinsengumi at that time was indeed lax and the management was too loose. In order to reverse this situation, the deputy chief used It is understandable to be restricted by strict laws... It cannot be said that your choice is wrong; it can only be said that a weak person will be discovered by others... I sympathize with them, but as Those who choose to live that dangerous life must be firm in their hearts from the very beginning, so as not to be affected by the mistakes of others—”
The deputy chief was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head slightly.
"Well, are you really outspoken?" He commented with a smile, and then said seriously: "I don't regret the things I did. I just thought of them, and then I understood one thing——"
He held her face again, fixedly stared into her eyes, and said:
"I did those things because of my own choices. Be it Hehe or Geshan, I did those things because of their own choices."
"People, you have to be responsible for your own choices. So Kawai lost public funds, Katsuyama wrote the kind of Jianbai letter that slandered Kondo-kun, and they must take responsibility afterwards and cut their seppuku, because they did irreparable things... "
"Since you chose to stay with the Satsuma Army, you must have made up your mind to take responsibility."
"No matter what the ending is, you have enough consciousness to bear it. You are a member of the Shinsengumi like this—"
Liu Quan:? !
The deputy chief stopped here, seemed a bit reluctant, but felt that it had to be said, so he paused before saying the following words.
"You like this, I can only respect the decision you make."
"...It's like Saito had to stay in Aizu to fight against the enemy, and Nagakura and Harada planned to leave the team after the Battle of Kofu."
"You have confirmed that you have made a decision of your own will, and you have confirmed that you will bear the consequences of doing so. All I can do is to guard the name of the Shinsengumi uprightly until the end. In this way, when you are done After you have finished what you have to do, you can still see this name and rush over..."
"What I want to make sure is that I will still be here when the time comes, and the name Shinsengumi will still shine brightly, so that whenever you come, you will feel that this name does not live up to the one you risked your life to follow and maintain. A life-"
Liu Quan:! ! !
In an instant, a huge wave of weak feelings flooded her reason. Before the deputy chief could finish speaking, she plunged headfirst into his arms.
Her charge seemed to be a little fierce, and the deputy chief was hit head-on by her sudden attack without warning, and he staggered back two steps before standing still.
The deputy chief was startled, and roared under his throat: "Hey!! What's going on with you——"
Fortunately, fortunately, the Silencing Curse is a good civilization.Liu Quan thought, and then tightened his arms around the deputy chief's waist.
"Because at any time, the deputy chief will never fail to follow and maintain that I risked my life—that's what I want to say." She put her face in the deputy chief's arms and replied in a low voice.
Earthwork: "..."
The deputy chief was silent for a moment, and the arms that had been raised in the air to maintain his balance just because of her surprise attack and his loss of center of gravity slowly fell down, wrapped around her body, and hugged her tightly with almost the same strength. hold her.
"It's really helpless, you people, don't you always leave the most difficult things to me..." He muttered.
Liu Quan sniffed.Because if she didn't, she felt like tears would come out of her eyes.
"Because it's Mr. Hijikata—" she dragged her voice, and replied in a tone similar to being coquettish.
This sentence again.Always this sentence -
Because, does everyone believe in him for no reason?
Tufang shook his head silently, and smiled softly.Then he lowered his head and pressed his lips tightly against her hair.
"You have your mission, Yukiha. I also have mine. Show off your courage as a member of the Shinsengumi and do it well."
He heard her answer "Yes!" clearly, and she seemed to use a lot of strength when she spoke, and the sound even shook his chest.
So he silently relaxed his tense expression and raised the corners of his lips.
She is still like this.
Stubbornly determined that a goal must be pursued to the end, no matter what kind of difficulties encountered, he stood tenaciously and kept going. Although he came from such a dark family and background, he was more qualified than anyone else to stand in the sun; because when When you look at her, you can understand that there is a radiance of firm belief on her body——
Such a person, even if five years, ten years, 20 years, 100 years have passed...
Surely, it will continue to shine, right?
Will continue to bloom into the best form——
Blooming into this kind of appearance that made him unknowingly break his heart and will always be engraved in his heart.
Hijikata lowered his eyes, silently spread a smile on his face, then kissed her hair, clasped the back of her head with his hands, as if he wanted to hug her tightly with all his strength, and embed her in his flesh and blood like.
Then, after ending the hug that had unknowingly lasted too long and had become dangerous, Liu Quan took two steps back and gazed at Hijikata's eyes and face for the last time.
If you want to hug like this again, maybe you have to wait until the war is completely over——
Perhaps, when the war ends, her mission will also end at the same time; at that time, can she still have the 24-hour time limit like last time, find him in time, and say her final farewell?
Liu Quan didn't dare to think about it.She was afraid that if she continued to think about it, she would not be able to control her tear ducts from exploding again.So she tried her best to adjust her facial expression, and said to the deputy chief, "Then I'm going. Goodbye, Mr. Hijikata", after exhausting all her reason and self-control, she ordered herself to forcibly turn around and take a step——
However, just after she ran a few steps, behind her, the deputy chief's voice suddenly sounded again.
"……Hey!!"
Liu Quan paused, stopped almost immediately, and turned around abruptly.
On the hill in the night, the shadows of trees beside the road swayed in the night wind, casting mottled shadows, making the deputy chief's face unclear.
Reason told her that she had to leave now—the deputy chief couldn’t disappear from the camp for too long, otherwise it would arouse the suspicion of others; the current time was just right, and he could think of a reason to prevaricate—but her footsteps It was as if it was nailed to the ground and could not be pulled out.
The deputy chief didn't seem to care too much about what kind of reasons he would use later to prevaricate those colleagues in the army.He just stood there for a long time, staring at her deeply, as if he wanted to see the depths of her soul through her eyes.
Then, he said simply: "Remember—don't die. Come back alive."
Liu Quan:! ?
Many years ago, on the streets of Kyoto where the sound of guns was rumbling and bullets were flying, she rushed into the memory of the Fushimi Monastery, and then suddenly jumped out from the depths of her mind.
At that time, he was also like this, standing where he was, watching her leave, and going to take risks on an uncertain and dangerous battlefield.As she turned to leave, he yelled behind her: Don't die!Come back alive!
Now, the exact same lines are spoken in a much calmer tone than at that time, but there is a force equal to the courage at that time, which made her tremble for a moment-it was something that started from the depths of her soul. The trembling, in an instant, passed through her limbs, penetrated through the spine, and shook every part of her body——
That turbulent emotion pierced through her tear ducts in an instant.Tears rushed out of her eyes.
She can only rejoice that there is a distance between them now, he should not see that he is so weak that he lost his composure——
She opened her mouth and mustered up the courage to force out a reply from her throat; her voice was terribly hoarse.
"Understood....Don't die! Deputy Commander! I'm still waiting for this year's summer festival!!"
She stood up with one hand close to her mouth, and shouted at him in a fierce manner, just like when she was at the gate of the Fushimi Temple.
The earth choked suddenly.
...Actually, summer is almost over.
Moreover, this is a remote countryside that has been repeatedly devastated by wars. Even the dilapidated houses that barely survived are covered with bullet holes and traces of being bombed.
Where will there be any summer festivals?
However, the corners of his lips were slowly raised.He nodded heavily, and replied in a rough voice, "...ah."
He paused for a moment, as if for a moment he wanted to drag her back and forcibly swear to her; but he quickly resisted the urge, and just said again solemnly and solemnly. again:
"...We have a deal."
The author has something to say:

Say something off topic.This chapter still mentions Kawai and Geshan of the Shinsengumi, their seppuku in the Dahe drama "Shinsengumi!
