Chapter 211
Chapter 211
It seems that the deputy chief casually said something serious? !
However, the deputy chief should not have noticed this.Still with a faint smile, he walked beside her on the crowded street, and deliberately slowed down because of the fact that she was wearing clogs tonight...
Deputy Chief, you are almost OOC, does your respected Kondo-san know that.
No, maybe Kondo-san is optimistic about it.She didn't forget last year's summer festival, Kondo-san forced her the deputy chief as a reward, and bluntly created a deliberate opportunity for them to go to the festival together? !
Thinking of this kind of inference of collapse, Liu Quan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips, and also smiled.
"That's great.... I was worried that Mr. Hijikata would hate me after he found out that I was a monster." She said jokingly.
Earth frowned.
"Huh?!...What are you talking about. It's impossible to hate you."
Liu Quan: ...! ?
Earthwork: ...! !
As if seeing Liu Quan's dumbfounded expression, he realized how terrible and easily ambiguous what he said, a look of embarrassment flashed across Hijikata's face.In the dark night, there seemed to be a suspicious red color on his face.
"In short, in short! Since you are a member of the Shinsengumi, as long as you treat everyone with sincerity, it is impossible for everyone to abandon you! Just put those unnecessary worries aside!" Because of a little embarrassment and because Feeling overwhelmed by saying something terrible, the deputy chief said in a rough voice.
Liu Quan was a little surprised, and looked at him with her head tilted slightly, as if thinking about the true meaning behind his words; after a while, she smiled mischievously.
"So that's how it is....Is this the profound meaning of the 'Cheng' flag?" She said as if she was talking to herself, and then she blinked at the deputy chief.
"Don't worry, deputy chief, your secret is with me, it's safe, okay? I won't tell anyone, except Mr. Hijikata himself."
The topic suddenly jumped from the Chengzi Banner to the matter that Tufang felt a little annoyed because he went to the tree hole in Liuquan just now, and Tufang blinked his eyes as if he couldn't react.
He quickly suppressed that emotion, and gave her a displeased look.
"So you were talking loudly about what I told you last time in Shimabara?... Your promise really sounds troublesome."
Liu Quan raised his brows and looked at the vice-chief of the ghost who was obviously not really angry with a smile.
"In order to punish me, starting tomorrow, the deputy chief can also oppress me with a lot of team affairs?"
Tufang was startled, and then realized what she meant, frowned reflexively, and quickly let go, instead of continuing to reprimand her, he smiled.
"Ahhh....Speaking of which, where should I go for a meal? It's your last consolation before being punished."
He seldom made such an invitation to Ping Corpsmen—strictly speaking, he seldom invited such an invitation even to the cadres of the newly selected group.So Liu Quan was completely unexpected, and was stunned for a moment.
"Hey? Can you?!"
Tufang had already turned his gaze to the front, but when he heard this, he turned his face again and glanced at her.
"Ah...it's rare to come out in women's clothing, so wouldn't it be a pity to go back right away?"
Liu Quan was stunned.
...I, did I hear you right? !Little Qianhe also came out in women's clothing? !Didn't you, deputy chief, just tell her to go back to the village as soon as possible, so as not to run into any trouble? !Difficult, is it because you think that I am an existence like a weapon in the world, and I have a mysterious superpower to protect my body, so even if I encounter any troubles, I can solve them smoothly, so I can go shopping on the street again? !
Before the shock of his last sentence dissipated, the deputy chief immediately launched another combo.
"...That bathrobe suits you very well."
Under the light of the lanterns hanging in front of the shops on both sides of the road, Liu Quan was extremely surprised to find that the face of the deputy head of the Shinsengumi Oni seemed to have a slight suspicious red, probably because he was very uncomfortable with complimenting others.
"...Speaking of which, the last time I performed a mission in Shimabara, it was not bad to dress up as a geisha, but the appearance of a girl from an ordinary town like this seems to suit you unexpectedly."
All the resentment in Liu Quan's heart about the over-mature yukata Kondo picked for her seemed to be healed by Hijikata's words in an instant.When she saw Qianhe's fresh and lovely dress just now, the complaints about her bathrobe that surged up in her heart were almost immediately thrown out of the blue by her.
Liu Quan felt blood rushing to his head in an instant, not only his cheeks, but even his ears were hot.There was a rumbling sound in my head, and my temples were twitching, and I couldn't cope with it fluently.
"Yes, is that so...? Thanks, thank you..."
Hijikata also seemed a little embarrassed when he said something unexpected.But he couldn't take back what he had said, let alone order Liu Quan to pretend he didn't hear it, so he immediately turned his face forward again and raised his voice a little.
"Ah. . . so let's go!"
His stride seemed to suddenly increase, and his speed also increased a little, Liu Quan had to slightly lift the hem of his clothes, and followed him like a trotter.
The same words he continued to say, muttering and complaining, were blown onto her face as if nothing had happened along with the night wind.
"...Really, walking with you this time, won't be mistaken for elopement again?!"
Liu Quan's quick small steps forward stopped suddenly.
"……Eh?!"
Tufang didn't seem to notice her stopping, but still walked forward with big strides.But her questioning voice still reached his ears.
He said in a low voice without looking back: "...After that, it seemed to become a troublesome thing. When Shinpachi and Harada went to Shimabara, they heard the geisha talk about that time, especially what did Shinpachi say 'Is it true that you want to elope with a geisha?', I talked a lot..."
Liu Quan had trotted a few steps again, and caught up with him in time.Hearing his almost explanatory words, she could only smile wryly, unable to think of any suitable words to answer.
Who knew that the next moment, the vice-chief of ghosts would suddenly point at her.
"...Moreover, Shinpachi also came to tell me something like 'Shimabara rumors that because of Tanna being robbed, Ashita Fu casually agreed to another fat rich businessman and left Shimabara with him'. Boring rumors!" He stopped abruptly and stared back at Xue Ye. "Let me ask you, do you also know this kind of silly rumor?"
Subconsciously, Liu Quan followed him and slammed on the brakes, stopping just in time before hitting him.Before he had time to catch his breath, he heard the Deputy Chief Oni throwing such an aggressive question to himself, and he couldn't help gasping in surprise.
"Me, me?!" She suddenly felt guilty, and her face flushed red again.
When she left Shimabara, Junju did ask her what excuse she was going to use to leave.
Unlike the wandering girl dressed as Qianhe, Liu Quan gave full play to Su Shuang's talent points and various talents exchanged from the system bacteria. Although he only stayed in Shimabara for a few days, it was not There is no one who is famous and no one mentions him, so he suddenly disappeared from the corner house. Apart from being redeemed by someone, there is really no better way to say it.
But at that time, she was very frustrated because she saw the unpleasant scene at the gate of Shimabara when Hijikata took Qianzuru away from Shimabara, so she said casually to Junju in anger, "Just say that Axue was robbed because of Dana , so I just agreed to a wealthy businessman with a big brain to redeem himself, anyway, no one really cares about these things.”
Speaking of it, this kind of words are similar to boring vindictiveness.Who knew that all kinds of rumors would spread out somehow afterwards, which made people feel extremely embarrassing? !
"I... did hear Shinhachi-kun mention it once. No, but, didn't someone say 'the rumor will always spread for 75 days'? I think after about 75 days, no one will remember it anymore... ...Therefore, I did not report to the deputy chief in time..." She stammered.
Tufang's eyes were fixed on her face, and after a while, he suddenly sighed.
"Well, it's nothing to report this kind of thing....Speaking of which, I also heard later that after we left that day, you made a move ahead of time..."
The memories that he didn't really want to recall had to be brought back, Liu Quan secretly sighed, thinking that it would be too bad if he had to recall the unpleasant things of that night again on such a beautiful night, so he simply Before being held accountable by the deputy chief of ghosts, use the tactic of [self-admitting mistakes first] to block the deputy chief's mouth and forget it.
"Ah...that, I was too reckless, I didn't listen to the deputy chief's order..."
"...No." Hijikata sighed, interrupting her explanation.
"Saito reported to me the whole situation at that time truthfully....Your choice was correct, although it was very dangerous...It caused such a big commotion, and forced you to take risks in advance, which I did not expect in advance... ..."
This apologetic tone caused Liu Quan to raise his head in surprise, and subconsciously blurted out:
"Ah, no, no...it's all because I made up my own mind and didn't hold my breath! I'm really sorry..."
Facing her apology, Tufang looked a little surprised at first, then slightly raised his eyebrows. "...What are you apologizing for? It's not your fault."
Saying so, Oni's deputy chief of the Shinsengumi seemed to take a deep breath before continuing: "...I didn't think about it. I'm sorry."
Liu Quan was completely stunned, with his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word.
Surprisingly, this stupid look did not attract the vice-chief of ghosts to scold him.
"... Then again, you did really well that day." His voice suddenly dropped, as if he didn't want others to hear these words.
"Whether it's your later adventurous actions, or your pretend appearance...it's very good. Even...uh, the way you behaved when you accompanied the guests...Although I can't agree with your deceitful statements, I have to admit , your disguise is impeccable; with that kind of response, others will never suspect that you are not a real husband..."
"Is it to cover up, you say that...?"
His voice became lower and lower. Hearing such words, Liu Quan was both ashamed and surprised, and his mood was so complicated that he didn't know what expression to show.
【That person is always worried, he is a person with big ambitions, there are many things to deal with every day, sometimes he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to rest.If it makes him a little bad-tempered, I think that's what makes him cute. 】
At that time, the fabricated lines that she had devoted herself to the role-playing and fully interpreted, suddenly jumped out from a corner deep in her memory, which made her feel embarrassed for a while.
【...Your deputy chief seems very angry. 】
In the room full of vagrants from the shackles, when passing by Jun Ju, I heard a whisper from her, which echoed in Liu Quan's mind.
……is that so……?
Mr. Hijikata...it's because I heard her talking nonsense about Dana and Mizuyo outside the department that day, so...I think her performance is too much, which hurts herself as a newly selected team member The dignity or face, so brooding so far? ...
[Sometimes, I also feel strange.However, this is probably the legend, there is a deep bond between each other, right? 】
...tooth failure!I completely forgot that I also mentioned the keyword "bond" at that time! !
So, so... the deputy chief really overheard her talking outside that day, right? !And I was so impressed by this, that's why when I brought up the keyword "bond" again tonight, I immediately thought of the lines she used before? !
Although she seemed to have completely fallen into the embarrassing shame play, a certain intuition suddenly rose from her heart, prompting her to blurt out:
"...Deputy Chief, could it be... that day you listened to—"
However, before this crucial question was finished, Tufang suddenly wrinkled his face as if he had a toothache, his expression sank, and he suddenly turned his face aside, speaking in a stiff tone.
"Your performance that day was enough to make people angry, it's just... It's just that Shidou didn't realize it! Dare to say anything!! I think you almost said your name! It's just—"
At first, Liu Quan showed a bit of confusion because he was yelled at by the deputy chief again for no reason; later, when she heard the deputy chief's increasingly blunt tone and saw his extremely uncomfortable face, she pursed her lips for some reason. Lips, trying to hold back a smile that almost surged to his lips.
However, her eyes, which were shining because of suppressing a smile, still stayed on him.The deputy chief looked even more unnatural.
"Ah~ah! In short! Next time, if you mess around without my consent, you will go and cut my seppuku!! Damn it! Don't think that you have any privileges after I just promoted you! Shinsengumi The cadres who have done something wrong will be punished! Do you know!!"
When it came to the end, the deputy chief was stern.The aura of the deputy commander of the ghost came back vaguely.
Unfortunately, however, the man opposite him had never been afraid of his imposing image.
"Ah~ Speaking of which, where should I go for a meal? Is it my last consolation before being punished?"
She reproduced the invitation that the deputy chief had just said, with a move of killing words, coupled with the peak acting skill of [Innocent Smile], she successfully choked the deputy chief of ghosts speechless for a second.
... Visually, the deputy chief's anger gauge is about to fill up?
However, Tufang's reaction was not as enthusiastic as Liu Quan imagined.Although he looked annoyed at being hit back by her, but after staring at her for a few seconds, he turned around suddenly, walked away without saying a word.
