Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 1049 [Chapter ENDING] 1

In late spring when the sky was clear and clear, a man with a left arm that seemed to have limited mobility came out of a house by the road.

The man looked very mature and stable. Although he was wearing casual clothes, the bravery tempered by the war was still very conspicuous.He walked out of the open door, turned around and gave a deep salute to the master who was seeing him off inside the door.

The owner of the house behind the door also seemed to salute him back, but the man did not leave immediately.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but lowered his voice a bit and said:

"...You really don't want to join the army any more...? Please don't worry about the identity certificate, I will definitely help you deal with it here... And all the members of the Shinsengumi have already received amnesty from the government, Some soldiers from that year have also joined the current army, and they were rewarded for their meritorious service in the last war and were promoted..."

He spoke so earnestly, but the owner behind the door didn't seem to answer him immediately.

He didn't seem to care that he didn't immediately get a warm response from the other party, and continued to say earnestly:

"Furthermore, as 'Katsuto Naito', didn't you receive awards before? It's just that after you declined them one by one, you said you would return to your hometown, which made us spend a lot of time looking for you..."

The owner inside the door seemed to finally smiled, and a deep voice sounded.

"...In the end, that guy Ibuki leaked my tracks, right?" he asked.

The man outside the door also smiled, shook his head with a smile and sighed.

"Isn't it thanks to Ibuki-kun... After we learned of his whereabouts, we kept coming to ask him again and again... In the end, he couldn't survive our repeated troubles..."

As if remembering something, he paused for a moment, and said with a sigh: "However, being able to connect all kinds of clues finally gave rise to reasonable doubts, and finally found out your possible whereabouts—"

"...It's really thanks to the record of awards you received in the war."

"Based on your meritorious service, it's really unbelievable that you declined the award and left the army so quickly after the war..."

"Originally, at the beginning, it was just because excellent officers were so rare. We really didn't want to see a talented person leave so easily... Later, we also noticed that we have been visiting more than a dozen of your military colleagues who are familiar with you. From the way of fighting to the injury of the leg, I have some understanding..."

"Finally, a surprising conclusion was reached."

He recounted why he was able to come to this simple house on a remote road on this day and visited the owner. The man's attitude and tone were very sincere, as if he didn't want to give up his intention of coming. generally.

"Hijikata... No, Mr. Naito," he finally re-uttered the syllables of the surname that had been dusty for a long time, and quickly changed his words under the gaze of the calm-eyed owner opposite.

He seemed to hesitate again, still looking at the other party earnestly, and said:

"You also know that I now hold a good position in the government army... If you are willing to come out, it is not impossible for the name 'Hijikata Toshizo' to reappear... After all, you did it last time He made impressive feats in the war. Moreover, even Soma Chief Accountant had been granted an amnesty many years ago...only later—"

His voice was choked, and he didn't continue to speak, but lowered his gaze full of sighs.

The owner opposite him smiled slightly.

"No, I'm not struggling with that," he replied.

"The name is just a title... Just like without those deeds at the beginning, 'Shinsengumi' is just an empty title..."

Hearing this, the man with a bad left arm raised his eyes again and stared at the owner inside the door.

That's right, the one living in seclusion in this small house is the former Shinsengumi Deputy Chief, the army chief of the Ezo Republic, the famous "Deputy Chief of Demon", Toshizo Hijikata.

More than ten years have passed since the era of the "Wolf of Mibu" that roamed Kyoto.However, it seems that, except for some lines in the corners of the eyes and between the eyebrows, time has not left many traces on his face; there is only a more solid and difficult to challenge easily, like a bottomless sea, Under the calm sea, it seems to contain unfathomable power.

"Now, who still remembers the 'Jie Hui Group'..." he said with emotion.

"In the past, they were so famous on the streets of Kyoto, occupying the best location, even our Shinsengumi had to back down...their leader, that Sasaki, stood proudly in front of us..."

As the elder of the former Aizu clan, the man who came to visit Hijikata——After being pardoned, he joined the army, and the former Aizu clan Hiroshi Yamakawa, who has been sitting in a high position so far, doesn't know much about the Mihui group and the new generation who were in charge of Kyoto security. Contradictions among the selection groups, and I don't really know what kind of person the leader of the Mihui group is; The vice-captain said that about the "Jianhui group", which means that he must have suffered a lot from the "Jianhui group" back then, right?

However, he didn't dare to say this inference, but his eyes flickered and he nodded.

In front of him, the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, who was so radiant and aura back then, still said calmly and calmly:

"...So, I don't care much about the name. I just don't think I'm suitable for working with those officers and soldiers for a long time."

Hiroshi Yamakawa blurted out: "But, do you no longer want to continue serving His Majesty...?!"

Hijikata seemed a little surprised, his eyes flashed a little sharp light for a moment.But the ray of light disappeared quickly, and he returned to his previous calm demeanor.

"Since you took the trouble to come all the way to visit, I might as well tell you the truth," he replied.

"My original belief was just to strengthen the Shinsengumi and realize the dream that Kondo-kun and other companions pursued together. Who to serve, whether it is the general or your majesty... We are all just pursuing the righteousness in our hearts."

His tone was unexpectedly straightforward, even with a bit of indifference and rude attitude, as if the deputy chief of the ghost had returned.

"Even if His Majesty suddenly gave the Royal Banner of Brocade to those of the Chief Sa, making our righteousness seem like a joke... But ten years later, I have upheld my loyalty and served Your Majesty. "

"Now, if I'm really asked to do something else, I have my own ideas."

Tu Fang paused, and a strange look appeared on his face, which was rare.

"...I plan to be a judge or something..."

Hiroshi Yamakawa:? !

He couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh?!"

Hijikata also seemed a little embarrassed, coughed several times to cover up, finally overcame the psychological barrier, and replied in a rough voice: "... Ah. That's it."

Yamakawa Hiroshi found it unimaginable.

Seriously speaking, he feels that among the members of the original Shinsengumi, Saitoichi, the current Fujita Goro, is the one who upholds the original intention the most.

In fact, the Shinsengumi was in the final analysis an organization that cooperated with the Aizu Domain and the Kyoto Governor to maintain order and security in Kyoto.

That is, the current police.

Therefore, in response to the recruitment of the brave general "Oni Kanbei" of the Aizu Domain - the later first-class police officer Sagawa Kanbei, Saito Kazu, who joined the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, is the simplest and most straightforward way to uphold the original intention and continue the new election. The people who set up the mission of the year.

Of course, some of the other members joined the army, and some went into business, all working hard to continue to earn a living.However, it was the first time he had heard of someone who wanted to be a judge.

...As expected of the Deputy Chief of Oni back then!His thoughts are not what ordinary people can expect!

——Inexplicably, Yamakawa Hiroshi felt such emotion and respect(?) in his heart.

Of course, being a judge is not completely impossible.Morinosuke Takagi, one of their best friends in Aizu, has just passed the judicial examination and is about to become a judge, but the location of his appointment is not yet known-but, in terms of age, Takagi-kun certainly has a great advantage.

... Although Hijikata-kun was also a well-known and outstanding official in the Ezo Republic back then, in the final analysis, the growth of age will reduce the memory of the brain, right?To memorize so many laws to pass the exam, this is a great test for anyone, an extremely difficult task, right?

Hiroshi Yamakawa stammered for a while before saying: "... If, if you really want to do this, you have to pass the exam... Of course, identity is not a problem. I can take care of things for you... …However, the things to learn are as high as mountains, and I do not question your determination, but—"

Hijikata seemed a little surprised, and opened his eyes slightly. After a moment, he seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly relaxed.

"...Since I can clearly express my determination, I naturally have the corresponding awareness." He replied lightly, with an undeniable force in his tone.

Yamakawa Hiroshi was taken aback for a moment.

"No, of course I didn't mean that..." He explained in an awkward manner, feeling that if he continued to speak, his description would become darker and darker. Finally, he sighed, nodded briefly, and promised: "...Since I thank you for your honesty Tell me, if there is anything I can do to help, I will try my best... But, may I ask why you made this decision?"

Tufang paused for a moment, his expression suddenly softened, and there seemed to be a touch of melancholy in his brows and eyes.

"I, I've talked about this kind of thing with people before. ——After the name 'Shinsengumi' disappears, what is everyone doing..."

Shan Chuanhao was surprised.

"What?...Since you talked about everyone's way out, did you tell people about it in the last war?"

Tufang nodded slightly.

"Who is it—" Hiroshi Yamakawa stopped before he could finish his sentence because he sensed an inexplicable aura suddenly emanating from Hijikata.

The earth party didn't get angry, but was silent for a while before continuing:

"At the time, we talked about... people, some of them went to be policemen, some went into business, and maybe some of them became doctors..."

"I, my family sells medicines, and Ishida Sanyao... But in the end, it's not that effective; then the other party said with a smile, or Mr. Hijikata, why don't you just become a doctor..."

"However, I don't think I can be a doctor. I can only think of Matsumoto-kun... like him, calmly admonishing innocent people's relatives, friends and companions, just because of illness, a good person will soon die ...didn't do anything wrong, it's just that fate has arrived—I can't do that kind of thing."

Yamakawa Hiroshi gave a low "Oh" exclamation.He quickly guessed who Earth Fang was talking about.

Perhaps Hijikata thought of the genius swordsman in their newly selected group, Okita Souji who died of coughing at a young age.

He nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

Hijikata didn't seem to care too much about whether he could understand, and continued: "If I'm in business, what should I do? I can't think of any kind of business to do... Finally, the man said, 'If Mr. Hijikata doesn't mind , and there’s another job that’s right for you’.”

Yamakawa Hiroshi: "That's... the judge?!"

He couldn't believe it.Is Oni's Deputy Chief of the Shinsengumi the kind of person who decides his future for the sake of others? !

Tufang ignored his entanglement, nodded and said:

"Yes.... That person said, 'Since Hijikata-san is the one who established the "laws in the bureau", you can also do things to maintain the laws."

He seemed briefly lost in remembrance.

It seems that the matter related to that period of recollection did not last long, because he did not give more and better descriptions, but came to a conclusion in a dry tone.

"I heard that the current rule is that if something violates the law, apart from the police, it must be handed over to the judge to determine the punishment according to the law."

"After private fights are no longer allowed, besides being a policeman, what else can we do to uphold the law? I think the only thing is to be a judge."

Hiroshi Yamakawa squirmed his lips a few times.

He was almost on the verge of saying "no, there might be new jobs like prosecutors and lawyers" at first, but then he thought, what's the difference?In short, it takes a lot of hard study and preparation——

He finally nodded and said: "...Since this is your decision, then I will do my best to help you achieve your wish. You don't have to worry about your status...but I don't have the ability to take the exam..."

Tufang laughed.

From Yamakawa Hiroshi's point of view, it was the first time since he stepped into this room today that Hijikata showed a faint smile that could be called sincere.

"Really." He heard Hijikata say.

"That's enough. Thank you very much."

"The rest, I will work hard."

Then, Hijikata paused for a moment, and said——Speaking words that Hiroshi Yamakawa found unbelievable.

"...Because, that's what she said too."

"Up to now, there are not many things I can do to miss her..."

"If in her mind, I am that kind of person... a 'defender of the law', then I will try my best to do that."

The author has something to say:

February 12:

First of all, I am sorry that I have not been able to update in the past ten days...

Where to stay, there is no desk in the room, it is outrageous.

I also can't go to someone's study or restaurant to type with my laptop, so I just... QAQ

Sorry for the late update!

I hope HE can be updated every day to the end

I have thought a lot about the proposition of the deputy chief "what do you want to do in the future"

I don't think any job is suitable

In fact, if Kondo-san is alive, it is easy to say, he can go back and continue to run the test center

But should the deputy chief continue to be a drug dealer? [No

In fact, there is still a historical stalk in the future of being a judge, which is an event that led to the resignation of Xixiang Congdao (does anyone remember him w)

But that's too late

If you really want to write it, it will become a matter of the deputy chief and the sister growing old hahh

Well, we will tentatively schedule tomorrow night for the next update, hehehe

Because the mine-throwing list that the system automatically thanks is only the last 7 days

So the little cuties that are missing, I will manually fill them up later!

Thank you, everyone

Thanks to the little angel who threw the grenade: Gui Heshen 1;
