Chapter 1048 [Chapter 6] 62
But these words seemed to ignite Tufang's heart suddenly, and he broke out suddenly.
"...Stop joking! Why do you have to apologize! What are you going to do when you're gone?!" He yelled at her.
Liu Quan smiled apologetically.
"I... I don't want to do this..."
"Why did you block that shot for me! Do you think I will be happy if you do this kind of thing again and again!? You have to rely on your own woman to maintain it to win the final victory. Even if I get such a victory, I won't win it." Happy!!" Tufang yelled until the veins on his forehead burst out.
Ah, I was yelled at by the deputy chief again.
Liu Quan raised his face and smiled.
I miss it so much... In the future, she will always miss this roar and this person who is screaming, right?
Perhaps seeing the unreserved smile on her face, Hijikata choked for a moment, and then roared louder.
"I...I will never allow you to just...so casually die! What do you think of our Shinsengumi! I...I obviously didn't give you a death order!"
But these few words suddenly reminded Liu Quan of what Tufang had said to her many years ago before the outbreak of the Battle of Kofu.As soon as the end of her nose became sore, her eye sockets became moist.
"Sorry..." Her voice was soft like a whisper.
"I acted on my own initiative... because I don't want to see Hijikata-san die..."
"...Do you think that if you exchange your life for mine, I can accept it so simply!!" Tufang let out a loud shout.The whites of his eyes were almost blood red.
"Really... How do you let me live in the future... When I open my eyes, I can think that this life is bought by my own woman at the expense of herself..." His voice suddenly dropped, hoarse It was out of shape, carefully discerned, and there was actually a hint of crying.
Liu Quan:! ?
But Tufang could no longer see her shocked expression.He tightly held her half-disappeared left hand, ignoring that hand was slowly turning into a choking bluish-white ash, and just put that hand on his lips, and his voice changed accordingly. It's a little stuffy.
"The Samoans have failed...the 'New Chosen Brigade' has regained its reputation...it was a future worth looking forward to, but now—"
He choked up at this point.Because her hand was almost completely reduced to ashes and flew away; it also made him choke.He froze for a moment, clenched his teeth, and there were terrifying lines on his profile.
"...I, what did I come here for..."
Liu Quan:! ! !
Although she already felt extremely weak and dull because of this damn "automatic pop-up protection program", the words Hijikata yelled still reminded her in an instant——
When was the last time he said that.
It was forced to escape from the golden mansion in Liushan, leaving Kondo there alone to face the roundup of the officers and soldiers, Hijikata almost killed the group of people who ambushed them on the hillside by himself, and then almost gave up on himself in the sunset, He said it out of self-loathing.
And, he hasn't stopped.It was exactly the same as that time.
"...Is it to lose you in a place like this?"
"Haven't we been chasing the same beliefs and dreams together..."
"...But, why did I end up being the only one here?"
"Why am I the only one saved?"
He said every sentence, and finally his voice was hoarse as if his vocal cords were about to split, but he suddenly forcibly raised his voice, his tone was full of self-reproach and self-loathing, and he roared almost in a low-pitched and weeping voice:
"Over and over again, I have abandoned people who I absolutely can't give up, and I am the only one left...! Is this kind of life what I have to bear...!?"
"No!" Liu Quan blurted out without thinking.
At this moment, half of her arms were reduced to ashes, and it was impossible to raise her hand to touch his face full of pain; so she struggled to muster the last strength in her body, straightened her upper body suddenly, and opened her eyes. With only half of his arm left, he threw himself on his body, and pressed his face against his cheek.
"I... I will never die like this!" she shouted.
"One day, I will come back alive to see you again... So, you are not allowed to die!"
Although it sounded like a willful and whimsical lie, she spoke it very seriously.When she said that, she didn't even think about what System Bacteria would think, whether she would be given such a chance in the future.
"Because... because, this is the oath!"
She shouted the oath that they had repeatedly agreed to strike gold as an oath, and she could feel Hijikata's body stiffen—he must have been stunned.
That's right, this matter sounds very fantasy, very false——
"Isn't it the same as last time! You thought I turned into ashes and disappeared, but I came back again..." Liu Quan hurriedly shouted, as if he was planning to save himself for the illusory next time before he completely disappeared. It's like meeting each other to find enough examples to support Hijikata to live well.
"Or, Mr. Hijikata thinks he can't wait for me for another ten years...?"
Deception, threats, lies, irony, aggressive tactics... In a short period of time, she almost used these low-level tricks all over again.
Tu Fang was silent for a moment, until her arms that were trying to wrap around his neck turned into ashes and dissipated, he seemed to be startled, and suddenly stretched out his arms to hug her tightly.
His arm was wrapped around her back, as if he wanted to cut off her waist before she turned into ashes, holding her with all his strength.
"Okay, I'll wait. How long will I wait..." He said in a hoarse voice, stopping every word, as if making a promise.
Before he finished speaking, the person he was embracing with all his strength turned into a pile of ashes, leaving only the dirty foreign coat on his arms——
Hijikata was silent for a long time, and also maintained the gesture of hugging someone in the circle, and did not move for a long time.
In the end, his back suddenly hunched, and his strong shoulders slumped together; his arms drooped, and his fingers clenched the tattered foreign coat with convulsions.
In front of him, there was a small pile of bluish-white ashes that leaked from the coat and piled up next to his half-kneeling knee.
Suddenly, with a bang, a drop of water fell on the pile of ashes, wetting a small piece.
But he didn't last long in that position.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew obliquely across the battlefield where the tragic killing had ended.The pile of ashes, so light that they seemed weightless, was blown up by the wind, and has been carried far into the clear blue sky today.
Following the direction of the gust of wind, Tufang raised his head slowly, and did not try to grab a handful of ashes from the pile of ashes, but just quietly looked at the blue sky that was clear and clear like a painting.
Then, he said what he hadn't been able to finish just now.
"...a lifetime of waiting."
He paused for a moment, stood up with one hand on his hands, folded the tattered foreign jacket with great care, and put it on his arm.Then he bent down again and picked up a Taidao.
It was what she had used, miraculously, like that foreign jacket, it did not turn into ashes, but stayed, and it was lying quietly on the ground at this moment.
On the ground next to the sword, there was a small patch of blood.
Hijikata's fingers paused for a moment, then he stretched out to pick up the Taidao, and held it tightly in his right hand.
Satsuma finally suffered a crushing defeat.The newly elected brigade is also in the winning queue.But when all this finally came, the wish that was finally fulfilled seemed no longer so important.
As the one who persevered to the end and finally saw the moment of victory for his companions, Hijikata sighed softly, then worked hard a few times, and finally succeeded—curved the corners of his lips.
Because, if she were here, she would definitely say "you should smile more when you win", right?
He stared at the sky in ecstasy.The sun near noon was so bright that it was almost dazzling, he couldn't help but slightly squinted his eyes.
Don't forget to give him a reason to hope until the end-this really seems like something she would do.
No matter how dark the moment is, you must see the light, and you must move forward tenaciously toward the light——
No matter how desperate you are, never give up hope.This is her.
Hijikata closed his five fingers together again, and gripped the Taidao left by Kiyohara Yukiha.
Then, he said softly: "...will wait for you. Always wait."
"Because this is the oath."
