Chapter 1176 [No Responsibility Extra Shannan Chapter] 37
On the mountain road from Otsu to Kyoto, the two are galloping together.
Fortunately, Liu Quan was riding "Watching the Moon", a steed produced by System Fungus. Even with two people riding on his back, his speed didn't seem to slow down at all.
Yamanan ultimately chose to return to Kyoto rather than continue on to Edo.This is also the choice he made in history—to stay in Otsu, a place not far from Kyoto, and allow Mr. Okita to catch up with him and take him back to meet the imminent death—but this time, in On this day in history, things went awry.
At that time, Okita didn’t seem to have dismounted and walked through the flower field to the tree to confirm whether the person there was Shannan—of course, this is also very understandable. In history, Okita was a purer youth in terms of emotions, and he didn’t have much harmony at all. When a woman talks about her relationship experience, let alone after witnessing such a passionate scene, she still needs to get closer to see it clearly.
I have to admit that this was also one of the reasons why Liu Quan did not resist Shannan's sudden kiss at that time.
She also remembers how Okita was recorded in history in this regard, so when Okita approached them, she suddenly realized that this could be used to scare him.
It's hard to say what kind of complicated thoughts she and Shannan had in their hearts at that time. After the kiss ended, they didn't use words to confirm the belonging of their feelings.
Because in turbulent and dangerous times, even life is often tied to the front line, and ritualistic verbal confession of feelings is even less important.
Of course, those rogues and samurai often said bluntly, "Be my woman! I will not treat you badly!" or "Stay with me! I will treat you well!" To become a pair with the daughter of a local or other ordinary girls and build a family - this is what Liu Quan wanted to win over other members of the Imperial Tomb Guards when he pretended to go to Gaotai Temple, the residence of the Imperial Tomb Guards, to find Saito who could not escape Believe in the content of the story that is made up; because this is the more common plot.
But for members of the Shinsengumi, who live at the forefront of turbulent times, this process is not necessary.Shannan also has no intention of trapping the other party with such mediocre and clichéd words.Because he knew that Qingyuan Xueye would not be trapped by such vulgar words.Likewise, she is not one to be intimidated by the dangers she will face.
So, he was really curious, how would she make him return to the Shinsengumi "with dignity"?
She said she would promise to do it if he promised to go back with her and follow whatever arrangements she had.
Although she didn't know how she would erase the traces of him leaving, Shannan still showed an obedient and cooperative attitude and followed her on the horse.
Although galloping all the way on horseback was very bumpy, Liu Quan still seized the time to tell Shannan in detail the information he had so far, including how Yongcang left the village last night, came to Shimabara to ask her about Shannan's whereabouts, Including Saito came later, revealed the news to her and the hidden meaning behind the news; and so on.
Shannan also told Liu Quan what happened after he returned to the village that night.
Sure enough, that night when he returned to the garrison, he stepped into the gate, walked through the courtyard, and before he stepped onto the veranda outside the house, he keenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
Then, he stepped up the corridor, walked along the increasingly strong smell of blood, and finally found——
In a corner of the dark courtyard, a person was lying on the ground.His body was covered with a straw mat, covering his face from head to toe.
Shannan didn't even need to look to understand that the person was no longer alive.However, he still suppressed the disappointment, anger, guilt and pain in his heart, and walked forward to gently lift the straw mat, revealing the face underneath.
...It really is Takehachiro Katsuyama.
The person who performed the intervention must be extremely skilled in swordsmanship. From the incision, it can be seen that the knife was cut neatly on the neck, and there was no need to make up the knife again. Perhaps it also slightly reduced Ge Shan's pain before his death.
But this did not reduce the shock and pain that Shannan felt at that moment.Anger, confusion, confusion, anxiety, incomprehension, resentment, grief... so many unspeakable emotions surged up almost at the same time, converging into a powerful, dark current, sweeping his reason and consciousness .
That day, Kondo happened to be away from the village.But even if he is there, Shannan is not looking for him.
What he wanted most was to find Tufang, put aside his gentle, gentle, and polite appearance, grab Tufang's collar, ask him what he wanted to do, reprimand him for being too aggressive, and warned him that if he continued like this, he would only get a new one. The reputation of Sengumi and Kondo-kun has been pushed to an even more irreparable point——
For a moment he even thought about warning Hijikata not to do anything to Sakamoto Ryoma—if Hijikata in this world really wanted to.
Because he still remembers that in the former world, although the Shinsengumi did not assassinate Sakamoto Ryoma—after analysis, they actually suspected that the Kiwigumi did it, and then dropped Harada's scabbard at the scene to confuse The eyes of everyone——but it was still the Shinsengumi who was caught in the end. After Kondo-kun was arrested, it was precisely because the charge of "assassinating Ryoma Sakamoto" could not be cleared that he was pursued by Satsuma and Tosa. Failed to be rescued——
But that night, he couldn't even find the earth in the garrison.
Later, he heard that Hijikata had dealt with some affairs after Geshan's seppuku, and then he went out; no one knew where Hijikata had gone at that time, even when he turned back to the "floating boat" but failed to see Kiyohara Xueba, he also went out. There was no doubt that Hijikata was going to see her.
However, the next day, he heard the news that Hijikata spent the night in Shimabara last night; before he could get angry, he heard the rumored gossip among the soldiers about the man who seemed to "fascinate the deputy commander" recently. The girl's name is "Huaye"——
They said: I heard that the girl is a very interesting person... Every time the deputy chief went to see her and came back, he always seemed to be in a better mood...
They said: I heard that they haven't known each other for long... It seems that Gu Jun met the director and deputy chief last time in Shimabara... But, tsk tsk, although there are many beauties in Shimabara, but It's very desirable, maybe it's hard to find——
It was difficult for Shannan to describe his exact mood at that moment.Of course, when he came to the most probable conclusion, he didn't feel betrayed, and he felt a burst of disappointment rather than anger.
He thought, oh, sure enough, Kiyohara Yukiha was once again attracted by Hijikata Toshizo.Even though this person didn't possess many of the unobtrusive qualities of the "Hijikata-kun" they were all familiar with, she turned to the man named "Hijikata Toshizo" once again on the night of intersecting fate, and put He left it where he was.
He thought, what is there to miss about this place now?His dedication to his beliefs and his companions did not bring him equal respect and maintenance—he once thought that he could be the military advisor of the Shinsengumi. In addition to swordsmanship, he could also use his wisdom as much as possible to help the Shinsengumi Advance; however, the position of military division has been gradually eroded by those outsiders with ulterior motives, and they are reused only because they know how to tout Kondo's authoritative status, because they are new and their positions are unstable, and they must rely on Kondo and Hijikata's reliance , in order to gain a foothold within the Shinsengumi...
But he, he's been in the Shinsengumi for too long.He was listed ahead of Hijikata, and his prestige and sense of authority were enough to allow him to stand up to orders from Kondo and Hijikata that he thought were inappropriate; but that's not what Hijikata wanted, he was after Shinsengumi Kamiyama Under the absolute obedience to Kondo——
However, what he disagreed with was that even daimyo's retainers had the right to speak out!Doing so will push away some real talents, such as Yongcang.
However, he arrived too late.Shannan thought.
He didn't know what kind of character and behavior style the original "Yannan Keisuke" was in this world, but when he took over, it was almost impossible to salvage the situation.
He guessed that the original "Kingsuke Shannan" here must be gentler, more refined, and more polite than him, and he was really a gentleman who had read many books.That's why "he" doesn't use any thunderous means, and always wants to take care of everyone and every aspect, so he backs down in front of the aggressiveness of the earth side, and finally, even loses his own foothold——
On the way back to Kyoto on horseback, he also slowly told her these thoughts and emotions that were roiling in his heart but never spoken.
Including those speculations about the relationship between the earth and the "flowers and leaves", those dark emotions and psychology——
Because he knew that he could be indulged, tolerated, and tolerated in front of her now.
A long time ago, during those times when he fell into the darkness, he also considered manipulating Yukimura Chizuru or the ghost lady Chihime with emotional connection, so as to achieve the goal of his own research on Rakshasa and ghosts. The convenience of blood; so he is not a pure and naive teenager in terms of feelings, he also has sufficient knowledge about when and what should be done to win the favor of women.
For example, now, he is keenly aware that now is a good time to show weakness appropriately.
Now expressing all my dark emotions, narrow-minded jealousy, and sharp sourness in a calm tone, not only will she not be ridiculed or reprimanded by her, but it will also arouse her sympathy, tenderness and love , can even incite her anger towards that "Hijikata-kun" here——
He sat behind her, and when she couldn't see the expression on his face, he slightly curled the corners of his lips.However, his mouth was still gentle and calm, as if he had no complaints, but he narrated the most shocking facts.
"...I'm sorry if I've caused you a lot of trouble...I'm just so desperate—"
His soft, watery voice quietly approached her ear from behind her, and said like this.
"It's enough for you to come to me like this...I can't let you worry about what I did anymore. I have already made up my mind to take responsibility for my own decisions..."
Speaking of this, he really heard that she in front of him seemed to be a little angry, and took a breath, as if trying to suppress the rising fire in her heart.
He quietly raised his eyebrows with a hint of complacency, and quickly flattened his expression.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Shannan!" Sure enough, her voice rose in the wind, with a trace of irritation.
Ah, that's great.
This is the emotion that arises because of him... worry, sympathy, love, anger—anything is fine.
Taking advantage of the bumps caused by the galloping horse, he leaned as close as possible to her back on horseback.Like a seriously ill patient, he quietly approached her, greedily trying to absorb the warmth from her body.But all of this was done in a place she couldn't see, his whole body was still distorted and torn, and the gentle and sad tone was still in his mouth, saying words that he knew would definitely shock her .
"...I used to think of that 'Echikata-kun' from the past." He said calmly.
"I remember you once told me that when I drank the water that turned into water, everyone came here... While worrying about my affairs, Hijikata-san said a very sincere and frank sentence, If you were surprised at that time—"
He paused.
"You tell me, reassure me that no one in the Shinsengumi will give up on me...because Hijikata-kun said 'we need Mr. Sannan, we must not lose him here'."
The author has something to say:
February 7:
I think in the next chapter we can go to war!Girl vs deputy chief, how about it! 【Hello!
A little note:
1. The "edge corridor" is the corridor with canopies outside the room of the Japanese-style house.
2. The last sentence of this chapter comes from Hakuouki's TV version of "Green Blood Record", which was said by the deputy chief after Sannan-san drank the water.
Next update: every other day, at midnight on the 15th.This time I have more than half of the chapters to save, so it must be no problem! 【.
