Chapter 187
She remained silent like this until the black shadows of two or three flying birds flashed across the sky.
The birds croaked a few times and flew over their heads.
Gao Shan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said in a relaxed tone: "Ha, what... so it's a crow."
As if wanting to liven up the stagnant atmosphere, he said jokingly: "Hey, if you see a jay crow, it will bring good luck."
Who knew that this casual sentence made the girl downstairs with a faintly terrifying aura laugh softly.
"Yeah." She said to herself, "The guy who wants to kill the crows of the three thousand worlds is actually here hoping to see the crows... This world must have gone crazy. "
Gao Shan felt that the girl was quietly changing her style of painting again without him knowing, but before he could speak, there was a sudden tickle in his throat, as if all the moisture in his body had suddenly been lost, and everything from his lungs to his throat had dried up. Like sand, the dry inner walls of the throat rubbed against each other and instantly felt a nausea, causing him to burst into an earth-shattering cough.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
The girl downstairs suddenly looked up!
There was a clear look of astonishment on her face, looking up at his face, there seemed to be a sense of loss as if she understood something, but also as if she didn't want to believe this fact.
After finally calming down the cough, he looked down from upstairs and saw her strange expression at a glance, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
"Ah... I was sympathized by the Shinsengumi again... This world seems to be really broken, because some strange things are happening." He shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.
"You don't plan to arrest me now, probably because you feel that arresting a patient is a bit difficult? ... Hey, hey, don't show that gloomy expression. You are still so young, you should show something better Expressions? Hey, I said, youth is something that will disappear when you think it is gone, so you should also smile more and live brightly and happily.”
Liu Quan raised his head in amazement, looking at the young man who was completely different from the [Gintama version of Ghost Soldier Governor] in his impression, who had just finished a severe cough and had a deadly disease lurking in his body, but He leaned against the window on the second floor, showing a bright smile, and told her strange truths.
"I don't hate you."
"Speaking of which, I don't really dislike you Shinsengumi. Because everyone has good expectations for the future of this world, but they chose completely different paths...In the final analysis, they all hope that this world will become Is it more interesting and beautiful? It’s just a pity that because of the difference in positions and choices, we will have to work hard the next time we meet..."
Surprised, Liu Quan looked up at the wanted criminals whose portraits were almost plastered all over the capital, and suddenly smiled.
"Hey, the guy who delivered the handsome lines first, is really disgusting, as expected, he should be arrested."
From the moment they met again, she showed a sincere smile for the first time today.
"Although I really want to say 'Go to hell', but you should still live, and it would be better to change this boring world."
With a smile, she said aggressive and sharp lines, and she slightly shook the unsheathed sword in her hand.The sun glides over the blade, bringing a gleam of cold light.
"However, when we meet again next time, I won't tolerate you being handsome. I won't tolerate you pretending to be a healthy young man, pretending to be harmless and testing other people's details." She continued casually Said, then turned around, as if planning to leave here.
"I'm lurking here, are you planning something? I'm sorry, it's impossible for you to get what you want. After all, it's not the time for you Changzhou to do whatever you want. If you leave now, I can pretend not to see it." Oh?"
Takasugi was taken aback, then laughed out loud.
Then, he actually put the wine bowl back on the table in the house with one hand, and then he didn't know what to do, and there was a tinkling sound of shamisen strings from the window.
Liu Quan: ...I almost forgot, he also has this enviable skill... A good skill that the system bacteria don't even give open exchange.
"That...is the shamisen?" She asked knowingly.
Takasugi smiled, as if plucking the shamisen string behind the window, and replied casually: "Yes, I remembered a capital city."
……coming!The famous song "Three Thousand Worlds Crows Kill All!" !
Even for a visitor from another world like Liu Quan, when faced with this kind of "unintentionally brushing up the elegant and memorable historical moment of masculinity", when he performed it himself, no matter how different his stand was, he couldn't help feeling a little excited.
...But in the next second, this excitement suddenly disappeared.
Because what Takasugi sang was——
"Meet and go, go and meet. There is no trace of crying, crying and laughing. In the end, the wild wind and the autumn wind are parting for a while."
Liu Quan: "..."
What is a period and a period, Mr. Aishushan!You are here to set the flag casually, your good friend Katsura Kotaro... No, Katsura Kogoro-kun, do you know!
She was about to complain... No, to interrupt this kind of bad lyrics similar to FLAG, a familiar roar suddenly came from a distance.
"Hey! Kiyohara! Kiyohara!! Where the hell!! Are you still alive?!"
...It's the deputy chief! !
Liu Quan was taken aback, then reflexively raised his head and looked at the window on the second floor.
Takasugi also seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and the previous elegant and leisurely playing of the shamisen suddenly stopped.His gaze drifted into the distance, and he said to himself, "...Is that Hijikata Toshizo from the Shinsengumi?"
Liu Quan didn't have time to say anything to him, so he hastily interrupted him.
"... Who on earth wrote this Capital City? It sounds too bad. Can it be worse?!...Since you said you want to 'live a bright and happy life', next time we meet, come here A better one!"
Then, without waiting for Takasugi's answer, she clenched the dagger that she snatched in her hand, and strode towards the entrance of this dead-end alley.
There was a creak from upstairs behind him, as if someone had closed a window.
That move was really well-timed, because the next moment, the figure of Toshizo Hijikata, the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, appeared at the entrance of the alley.
He didn't look particularly bad, despite the fight.The hair was a little messy, and the clothes on his body were also stained with some blood, but in general, it looked like the result of the deputy chief's victory.
Liu Quan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and ran towards Tufang with a happy expression on his face.
"Deputy Chief! I'm here!"
Tu Fang slammed on the brakes, and when he saw Liu Quan running over with a shining sword that obviously didn't belong to her, his expression couldn't have been any better.
"Are you all right? Where's the rogue you lured here?! Did you kill him?!"
Liu Quan was stunned by his tone of question.
"Hey...?! D-Of course, I cut him down and snatched his sword, and I was-planning to support the deputy chief..."
"You didn't come out with a weapon just now, did you?!" Tufang stared at her in disbelief, and gave her a stern look, as if he had finally seen her unscathed appearance, and his complexion improved a little; but then he seemed to think What, the tone is even worse.
"How did you cut that guy down? And snatched his knife?! Is that guy an idiot just standing there waiting for you to cut him?! So what did you use to cut him? ?!"
For a moment, Liu Quan thought of Xiao Yi's words like "the sword is the life of a samurai" from this stern and confused tone, and suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason.
Deputy Chief, can you die if you say "I'm worried" frankly?Is it because I am afraid that others will see my concern for such a long series of scolding, so I use roaring to cover up.His personality is really bad, no wonder he is called the deputy head of the ghost...
"Don't worry, deputy commander." She said with a smile, "I am a team player who has passed the entrance test for the newly selected team? If you have the courage to confront the chief commander, then you must have the confidence to overcome such a shortcoming. What a strange villain. Speaking of which...the deputy commander has one enemy and many, so the situation must be more tense than mine? I am very sorry for not being able to rush to support in time."
As if he was not used to being praised so bluntly by her, Hijikata coughed with a hint of complacency and embarrassment.
"Cough...it's nothing." He turned his face away a little unnaturally, and casually inspected the situation on both sides of this dead-end alley.
"They're all ordinary guys. With a knife in their waist, they think they can do whatever they want on the grounds of Kyoto!... What kind of samurai are you who only bully the common people? And make a mess of the streets! That's all for a good festival It's broken—"
Liu Quan suddenly remembered that the goldfish that Tufang scooped up at the festival booth before, was thrown out of the goldfish bowl to save his life when he dodged the rogue man, and hit the rogue's knife and broke, so he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
...I finally got it from Tukata Fungus, the first gift...Although he probably didn't get it for himself, after she took it away with an excuse, he didn't object, let alone ask for it. go back.Does this mean that he thinks it's okay to give it to her...?
However, this gift didn't stay in her hand for long, and she broke it... If he can't even do the most basic treasure, he will be disappointed next time, and it is impossible for him to want to give her any more. something?
"...I'm sorry, Deputy Chief." She felt that it was better for her to admit her mistake first, "The goldfish entrusted to me by the Deputy Chief was thrown away casually by me..."
Tufang was taken aback for a moment, and his tone became a little hesitant.
"……What did you say?!"
Liu Quan was also taken aback for a moment. "……Eh?"
Tufang raised his eyebrows angrily, "I just dealt with those rogues, but when I turned around, I found you were gone. There were only fragments of the fish tank, a puddle of water, and a goldfish that had been split in two... I asked the nearby The shop owner said that you fought against that bastard with your bare hands in order to save the shop owner who was beaten before. After pushing the shop boss out of the melee circle, you disappeared... As a result, you now tell me that you threw away the fish tank yourself? !"
The more the deputy chief said, the more he seemed on the verge of going berserk.
"So, to, say, when, when, to, bottom, hair, birth, what, what?!"
... So, the deputy chief was so anxious just now because he mistakenly thought that she was smashed together with the broken fish tank? !
Liu Quan stared at the deputy head of the fried hair a little bit dumbfounded. After a while, he pursed his lips, the expression on his face and the tone of his speech became a little subtle.
"In order to swing the sword that was about to cut on my head, I threw the goldfish bowl and blocked that guy." She replied succinctly.
Tu Fang was taken aback, "...Huh?!"
Liu Quan lowered his head and looked at the ground, so that people couldn't see her expression clearly for a moment.
"I'm sorry, vice-captain....The goldfish that was entrusted to me was not well protected. The vice-captain must think I'm an idiot..."
She used a strange, weak tone.The earthwork seems to be a little out of adjustment.
"... There are as many of that kind of thing as you want!" He raised his voice a little and shouted, as if he was annoyed by something.
"...Also, it wasn't entrusted to you..." His voice dropped again, murmuring.
"That's why it's a bit too much to say you're an idiot... But, didn't I tell you to back off!"
As if he suddenly thought of something, the deputy chief's voice rose an octave again.
"Why on earth did you jump out and confront that guy just now! You tricked that guy into this unarmed alley to snare and snatch weapons?! Should you say that you are reckless or reckless? ..."
His imposing lecture was suddenly interrupted.
"...I must not stand by and watch Hijikata-san in danger."
He froze for a moment.
"……Eh?!"
Just now, it seems that I heard something extraordinary.
Ever since her identity as a woman was revealed, Kiyohara Yukiha, who had been addressing him as "deputy commander" politely and respectfully like other soldiers in the flat team, seemed to say something strange in an instant.
And, as before, he was called "Mr. Hijikata".
Facing this wonderful transformation, he seemed a little perplexed, and his face was stained with a similarly troubled look.
In the end, what are you trying to explain...?
