Chapter 1162 [No Responsibility Extra Shannan Chapter] 23
He had been hiding in the shadows, watching her for too long.It was long enough for him to appreciate the subtle changes and differences in her tone, attitude, and expression.Even though she was behaving normally at the moment, he could feel that what she said now was almost not sincere.
What that handsome young man may have said was indeed words that he considered for her wholeheartedly.But she seemed to be a little evasive, as if she was covering up something——Shannan instinctively realized that it might be something crucial and very important.
Therefore, although he was full of suspicion, anger and dissatisfaction with the sudden appearance of that handsome young man, he still managed to suppress the black mud churning deep in his heart, and continued to hide in this perfect corner, doing the same thing as "a warrior's uprightness" Completely inconsistent with his character - a matter of peeping and eavesdropping.
That handsome young man named "First Phase Lord" didn't seem to be so easily persuaded by Kiyohara Yukiba's excuses.A layer of worry floated on his straight and gentle features.
"But, Lord—" Before he finished speaking, he interrupted abruptly.He swallowed a bit before continuing: "...Mr. Qingyuan, why did you stay here for so long?"
Shannan felt a burst of displeasure almost immediately, welling up from the depths of his heart.
He was very familiar with the tone of that "first-phase lord" when he said the title "Qingyuan lord".
...As if in his previous life, which he still remembers vividly, in that world, every time he called her, he also used such a deep and self-restraining tone, suppressing many emotions for her in his heart and hiding them in the In the deepest part of his heart, he pretended to be calm on the surface and spoke to her like this.
【Mr. Qing Yuan, why are you trying so hard to persuade me?Please leave me alone. 】
【Qing Yuan-jun... When you did it, did you really feel that it was the right time to do it? 】
【Qingyuan-kun, you are such a strange person. 】
【However, the most surprising thing is seeing Kiyohara-kun appearing here. 】
……
Scenes from the past flashed repeatedly in his mind.Now that I think about it, there are not many moments that can be called "tender" that they shared in the past. Most of them were spent in the moments of quarrels, persuasion, acting, etc., which mixed true feelings and falsehoods; However, those times, when I think about it now, have become what can be called "beautiful" memories - that's because, in all those memories, the heroine is her.
For the cause of the Shinsengumi, as well as to study Rakshasa and extend the life and fighting power of "Rakshasa" as much as possible, he once wanted to use Yukimura Chizuru, and even thought of using the "Chihime" The princess of the ghost family.In fact, he has a certain degree of confidence in his own charm, and once used this charm to confuse Qian Ji—and almost succeeded.
Then, what made him finally give up these things?
...It was he who realized that even though he would never be able to get close to Kiyohara Yukiha, and would never be able to enjoy her care and admiration openly like Mr. Hijikata, he still couldn't bear to see her doing things against his will... When something happened, the sad and incomprehensible look he showed.
He couldn't see her slightly lowering her eyebrows sadly, watching him silently with a desperate and begging look; because she never moved her eyes away because of the things he did, so unconsciously, After doing those excessive things, he also looked for her eyes in the crowd, wanting to see if she would finally be disappointed and sadly avoid his gaze this time, with that strange and incomprehensible look. Staring at him, like many people in the Shinsengumi - including Hirasuke, including Yukimura Chizuru - did.
He doesn't seek to make everyone understand what he's doing.He didn't even care about the notoriety he was carrying.But when there is finally one person who wants to believe in his dignity as a warrior and the purity of his soul from beginning to end, it is difficult for him not to subconsciously pursue and rely on the way that never gives up watching him even in despair and darkness look.
He lowered his gaze, and heard Qingyuan Xueye's still clear voice in his ears.Even if she had a private meeting with an unknown handsome young man at the back door where there was no one like this, her attitude was still so upright that it seemed beyond reproach.
"Of course it's because I still have important tasks to complete here." She replied.
The "first phase gentleman" did not give up trying to persuade her.
"What kind of mission is it?... Is it exactly the same as our mission when we came here?" He finally gritted his teeth and asked this sentence. Even Shannan, who was hiding in the corner, could hear the connotation in his tone. With a lot of embarrassment and worry.
Although he was asking questions that seemed to be difficult for Kiyohara Yukiba to answer, but the "first-phase gentleman" sounded more difficult and painful than her.Even though Shannan was instinctively wary of his appearance, he had to admit that he could feel the sincerity of the other party just from the tone of "Yiqi Jun".
This is a good young man who has [-]% trust and loyalty to Qingyuan Xueye, but seems to be in a dilemma and suffering because she is going to do dangerous things.Shannan made a decision in his heart.
Therefore, what Kiyohara Yukiha intends to do is even more curious—and worrying.
Shannan listened to Qingyuan Xueye's answer calmly, but she spoke every word perfectly.He was completely unable to guess her true intentions and purposes from it.
"...is to maintain what we should maintain." She said, "I dare not forget this one day."
"Phase One" took a deep breath.
"I..." He stammered a rare moment, and some kind of pain surged in his clear and beautiful voice like a boy.
"Perhaps it's not for me to say it, but—" He swallowed, as if finding courage to make up his mind, and said: "If you want to do something dangerous... No, let me make it clearer. Just a little bit——if you want to change the fate of anyone here, you will be backlashed by fate! Don’t you know this very well?! Becoming a monster, being wanted, being captured by powerful enemies——and prosecuting Not a violating envoy—keep chasing and killing… don’t you care about such a future?! Yukiha-kun!!”
The more the young man spoke, the more distressed he became, and in the end he changed his address to her in an almost broken tone - and he didn't seem to feel that he did it subconsciously.
He has always used a polite tone and attitude to speak to her, but what he said just now was stern, as if he had completely thrown away the perfect and gentle disguise on himself, and he no longer cared about being gentle in front of her. demeanor.He was puzzled, distressed, anxious and at a loss, as if there was an abyss in front of her, and she would fall into it if she took a step forward, and her life and death were unknown.
Shannan:! ! !
Although I don't quite understand what the serious consequences mentioned by the "First Phase Lord" are—I don't quite understand why the name of an official 1000 years ago appears here. Defined as a threat on the same level as a "powerful enemy"—but Shannan clearly understood one thing.
... That is, Qingyuan Xueye really intends to do an extremely dangerous thing.
She intends to change the "someone's fate" here, and she does not hesitate to bear the backlash of fate and possible arrests in the future.He didn't know who was after her for it, but he thought he probably knew whose fate she was trying to change.
Now is the peak moment of Hijikata's spring breeze.As the leader of the Mibu Wolves, the Shinsengumi had just fought a good battle at Ikedaya and won the trust of Lord Yoho, the lord of the Aizu Domain—even if the shogunate will come to an end somewhere in the future, that's not what it is now.
At this moment, Hijikata's fate does not need Kiyohara Yukiha to change.If her target was really him, why didn't she choose to do it a few years later when the Shinsengumi really faced difficulties?At that time, even the "Hijikata-kun" here with a strong attitude must be more able to listen to other people's suggestions, and this is a more suitable time.
Therefore, he could almost guess that what she planned to change at this moment must be his fate.
In their world, one night not long after, he drank water that turned into a Rakshasa.Even if there is no change in this world, the advancing Hijikata and the increasingly divided Shinsengumi internal atmosphere will soon make him have to make a choice.
What does Kiyohara Yukiba want to do?It's impossible for her to think so arrogantly that she still has a certain degree of influence over Hijikata-kun here, right?So what is she going to do to herself?Convince him to back down?still--
Shannan's mind was flooded with countless thoughts, but before he could come up with an answer, he heard Qingyuan Xueye sighing with a smile.
"Take this, Mr. Yiqi."
Shannan raised his gaze again in surprise, and looked at the two people not far away.He saw Kiyohara Yukiha stretching out his right hand, loosened his fingers, and then a pocket watch that seemed to be very exquisite - he made this guess because the case of the pocket watch was shining and reflecting, and it looked very expensive ——suddenly fell for a certain distance, and then was suspended by the watch chain on her fingertips, shaking slightly in mid-air.
Shannan's expression changed.
Why would she take such an expensive pocket watch as a gift—or token? ——Give it to this "Phase One Lord"?
However, that "first phase gentleman" did not immediately reach out to pick it up.Shannan saw his eyes widen slightly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, looking at the pocket watch, and at Qingyuan Xueye's face, his voice trembled.
"You... what do you want to do, Mr. Xueye?!" He asked back.
Contrary to his attitude, Qingyuan Xueye seemed to be smiling, and replied: "You take this, if there is any abnormality, you take it and take everyone back."
She paused for a moment, and then—with a smiling tone, she uttered the coldest words.
"Then, forget that you ever knew me."
