Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 188

However, before he could ask the exit, a soldier suddenly appeared behind him.

"Ah... it's here!!" The man was taken aback for a moment, then turned around happily and shouted, "Saito-kun! The deputy chief is here!!"

Soon there was a sound of running on the street outside the alley, and Saito appeared there immediately.He was usually calm and calm, but at this moment he was panting slightly unsteadily, probably because he ran too much before finding the earthwork.

"Deputy Chief!!" He shouted, but he got stuck in the next moment, and then opened his eyes wide with a slightly surprised expression. "...Qing Yuan?!"

Hijikata turned around and simply said "Ah!"

At this moment, because Tufang turned around, Liu Quan, who was standing behind him in an unobtrusive position in the alley, also took a few steps forward, and stood one step behind Tufang.

Saito seemed surprised to see Liu Quan here, but he did not directly ask her why she appeared here, but turned to Hijikata, and began to report in a calm tone: "When the third group patrolled the nearby streets, I met people from the town who fled the scene in a hurry. After their report, I found the place of the incident, but there was no trace of the deputy chief, so I left Nakahara and Takashima to guard the scene, and led people to look for the deputy chief nearby. It's good to see you're all right—"

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and glanced at Liu Quan behind Tufang.

"... Kiyohara too. It's great that nothing happened."

Liu Quan was a little surprised, smiled at Saito and said "thank you".Hijikata had quickly clarified the situation at this time, and began to issue orders to Saito in a businesslike manner:

"Then, Qingyuan and I will go back to the garrison first. What happened on the street must be reported to Mr. Kondo. You and the third team should stay and deal with the situation on the spot first, and here also needs to be sorted out." He directed Liu Quan glanced in the direction of the fella in the alley behind Liu Quan, "Qing Yuan didn't bring a knife when he went out today, but he actually lured that fellow here to solve the problem."

Hearing this, Saito also took a few glances at the unlucky ghost lying on the ground, and then returned to Liu Quan's face, with a look of disapproval.

"...too reckless," he commented.

Liu Quan: "..."

Instead, Hijikata looked at the serious Saito with a slightly strange look, and suddenly smiled.

"Oh, you think so too." He said with a headache, "Ah, can't you let people participate in a festival! These guys really can make trouble everywhere?! What do you want to bring to this country! "

Liu Quan's heart skipped a beat, he resisted the urge to look back to the window on the second floor, and smiled nervously.

"Ah... There are always people who want to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits for themselves. For them, it doesn't matter what the country or the world has become, and it doesn't matter whether everyone is living well... Such people, yes It’s a pest of society. Just deal with it mercilessly.”

After hearing such a speech, the earth side was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

"What... You guys are unexpectedly tough? Also, you can kill a rogue with a knife in his hand..."

Liu Quan felt that if the deputy chief continued to speak, maybe Xiaoyi's attribute of "able to preach sternly anytime, anywhere" would be stimulated again, whether it was preaching, cross-examination, or getting to the bottom of it, continue to expand She won't be able to handle it if it goes on... And she won't let them know about her use of the secret skill of holding the body!

So she spoke quickly, with an indifferent smile on her face.

"Of course, deputy commander, I'm very good. After being unilaterally beaten so many times by Mr. Zongsi and Mr. Yi in the trial match, I must have improved a little bit? At least one-on-one to solve a non-rogue's skill I still have-"

Earthwork: "..."

The deputy chief seemed to be speechless by her bragging.

Saito: "...I didn't slap you unilaterally, Kiyohara. In fact, your swordsmanship is very good, even if I want to 'slap' you unilaterally, this is actually impossible."

Liu Quan: "..."

The natural Xiaoyi once again used the method of [extraordinarily serious response] to kill the player in seconds.

Where are the system bacteria?Can the main characters in this world [Hijikata Toshizo] and [Saitoichi] be exchanged for a [Sense of Humor] skill to quickly equip them? !If they can't even get the jokes and old jokes thrown by the players every time, it will be difficult for the players to communicate happily with them...

Hijikata said decisively: "Then I'll leave it to you, Saito."

Liu Quan: ...ah, I'm saved.

After that, she followed the deputy chief back to the village.

In the hall of Nishi Honganji Temple, Tu explained the situation to Kondo and Shannan.

Kondo looked surprised.Shannan frowned tightly.

"Speaking of which... since Chief Sa formed an alliance, there have been more unruly warriors here in the capital."

Shannan said so.The earth side remained silent.

The good old Kondo came out to talk again.

"Well... Even so, we can just pay more attention when we patrol in the future." He smiled like mud, and turned to the team member who had been going with him all along, so he was sitting in a corner of the room waiting for questioning. willow spring.

"Fortunately, we still have a reliable team member like Qing Yuan!" He laughed, as if he wanted to revitalize the atmosphere in the room that had froze for a moment because the chief and deputy chief were both thinking about something. "It's so brave to be able to defeat a rogue with a knife even with bare hands!"

A distorted expression suddenly flashed across Shannan's face.

Everyone in the room also realized in an instant that Kondo's words to smooth things over had inadvertently stepped on Shannan's sore spot - it was because his saber "Chixin Chongguang" was broken in the battle that he had no sword to defend against the enemy , and thus injured.

And Liu Quan, who was desperately blocking his opponent back then, now single-handedly took out a failed rogue without a saber—

Shannan really set his sights on Liuquan.Liu Quan, who felt that it was impossible for him to ignore it, could only stammer.

"That's...uh...Actually, I..."

Shannan frowned even tighter.

"Can't you explain to us the situation at that time." He chuckled lightly, "Oh, I really want to know what kind of heroic appearance Qingyuan Jun was at that time."

Liu Quan felt that his mouth was bitter, and his eyes subconsciously drifted to Hijikata sitting opposite Kondo, as if asking for help.

There was a toothache-like expression on Tufang's face, he clicked his tongue, and avoided Liu Quan's gaze.

But he still spoke: "...Ah, Shannan-kun. There is no need to conduct a special investigation. That guy... I guess he just stepped on somewhere and fell down. If he loses consciousness, he will be unable to resist. Who will solve it? Isn't he the same?"

Shannan's gaze turned from Liu Quan's body back to Hijikata's face, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Really? Well, since Hijikata-kun you said so, it's okay..."

Seeing Hijikata's somewhat unhappy expression, Shannan seemed to have sensed something, and didn't ask any more questions.

Kondo laughed and came out to smooth things over. "Anyway, A Sui, you just happened to be there to rescue those townspeople. You really helped a lot. You both worked hard."

Liu Quan immediately lowered his head, looking very respectful.

"No, no. I didn't do anything, and I didn't have any reason to praise it. It's the deputy chief who fights the bad guys—"

The earthworker suddenly interrupted.

"Just accept the praise honestly. Didn't you rescue the shop owner who was beaten? If it weren't for your support at that time, I would be the only one who has to deal with those who don't show up. At the same time, I might not be free. Concerned about the life and death of that townsman."

Shannan raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone was soft enough to make Liu Quan's hair stand on end.

"Oh, Hichikata-kun actually compliments others. It's really rare. What kind of change has happened to your mood?"

Hijikata had already turned his gaze elsewhere, and his tone was calm.

"Don't make fun of me, Shannan-kun."

The peaceful conversation continued, Liu Quan couldn't find a reason to resign, so he had to look outside.

Seeing that the sun had already set, the stars in the sky began to twinkle.

As the insects began to chirp, her mind recalled what happened today like a revolving lantern.

——A lot of things really happened today.

In the morning, he was entrusted by Qianhe to deal with a lot of affairs, and he was TXed by the troublesome Fusangshen Sankai Yuezong near an excuse.

As soon as they returned to the village at noon, they were rashly dragged by Okita to attend the festival together.

Although what happened later was not so pleasant, and the goldfish bowl that Hijikata handed her was also broken in the scuffle with the unsuccessful rogue, but in general, the day has passed safely so far——

Then again, I don't know if Okita and Chizuru, who were separated from them later, have returned.

At this moment, Kondo suddenly proposed.

"However, for you to encounter such a thing, it is a rare opportunity to participate in the festival, you must not have enjoyed your shopping yet, right?"

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.

...Where is she going to participate in some festival?It is clear that the first half was dragged by Okita to distract the Oni Deputy Chief's attention, and the second half was to bear the anger and accusation of the Oni Deputy Chief for that kid...

But Hijikata did not expose the dishonorable role she played in the festival.He said lightly: "It's not a big deal... Well, after the brawl of the unruly warriors, there are indeed many things to deal with the aftermath, and there is no time to enjoy the second half of the ceremony."

Kondo clapped his hands boldly as if he had suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Okay, let's do it like this! Ah Sui, you will take Qingyuan with you later... No, how about Xue Ye going outside to continue participating in the festival?"

He suddenly changed the name of Liu Quan—perhaps implying that in his conception, Liu Quan could change back to his original appearance as a woman this time; Everything has changed.

The earthwork suddenly became flustered.

"... Huh? Wait a minute. There's no need for that..."

Shannan, who was sitting next to Kondo, suddenly smiled, his eyes sparkled behind the glasses, and his tone was so soft that it was strange.

"I think this is a good idea. Because Hijikata-kun has been a little overworked recently. I think it's okay to take this opportunity to relax a little bit. And it won't affect the future team affairs."

The earth side tried their best to refuse.

"No, it's not, but there are still many things that I have to deal with..."

Shannan smiled, and lightly blocked his refusal.

"If it's in the daytime, there's no guarantee, but now that it's nighttime, I can also dispatch it. It's okay to let me take care of it instead of Hichikata-kun?"

Seeing that Hijikata was hard to persuade, Kondo simply turned to Liu Quan who was aside.

"Xue Ye, what do you think?"

Liu Quan felt that his brain was not enough for a moment.Her brain seemed to be suddenly filled with the special pickles sent by the deputy chief's hometown a few days ago, and it was so heavy that it couldn't rotate normally at all.

"...Huh?! Me, me?!"

Hijikata showed a distressed expression, frowned, and looked over hesitantly, but no emotion could be read in his eyes.

Shannan smiled kindly and approached Liuquan step by step with gentle words.

"Ah, what's the matter, Kiyohara-kun?...Please think carefully before answering."

...No matter how you hear it, it sounds a bit scary...

Kondo laughed boldly.

"I, I have always felt a little sorry for Yukiha. For team affairs, there is no way to change back to women's clothes, right? During festivals, girls should wear yukatas and participate happily. ...I prepared it for you in Biezhuang. You have always done a good job. And what happened last time... Didn't you get the reward? So, it is right to go to the festival now Your reward."

【... So, so, just because I didn't get the bounty I deserved after the change of the Ikeda house and the forbidden door last time, are you going to reward me with the deputy chief...? ! 】

Liu Quan's eyes widened, and he felt that this kind of magical twist was simply too... too miraculous!

There was a moment of silence in the room.After that, Shannan seemed to sigh slightly, and turned his gaze to Hijikata's face, as if he wanted to see something from his expression.

"Speaking of... Mr. Kondo and I had already discussed this before you came back. Letting you go to the festival to relax is just an excuse to cover up the secret security mission in the end."
