Chapter 265
Chapter 265
The time came to mid-September of the first year of Meiji—that is, the fourth year of Keio—the Sendai Fan’s thoughts were constantly tilted towards the submissive faction, and it might be dangerous to stay for a long time.
The army led by Otori Keisuke has also arrived in Sendai to join everyone.Everyone agreed that Sendai should be left as soon as possible.
Enomoto Takehiro's fleet was moored not too far from Sendai Castle. In order to join his fleet and cross the sea to the north, on an autumn evening, the Shinsengumi left Sendai and headed for Ezo - that is, in the future of Hokkaido.
When they entered the forest outside Sendai City and walked for a while, they were about to join the fleet, but the earthworker suddenly ordered to rest on the spot.
Liu Quan is still serving as the deputy head of the group, and at the moment when the cadres are constantly sacrificing or leaving, he has already silently cleared his reputation through the reappointment of the chief of the bureau. Fame; so at this time, she did not march with the earthwork, but walked in the first team.
When the messenger brought the order from the earthworker, although Liu Quan felt that it was a bit strange that the fleet had to rest right in front, faithfully carrying out every order from the earthworker had almost become the habit of everyone in the new election group.So Liu Quan truthfully ordered to rest on the spot.
Just after arranging some things for the team here, the messenger came running out of breath again—this time to convey another instruction from the earthwork.He ordered Liu Quan to go to see him immediately.
Although he wondered why the earth side didn't convey the order to see him together with the order to rest on the spot just now, Liu Quan didn't waste any time, and immediately followed the messenger.
Tufang was not at the front of the team, but in a small wood next to him.
After the Battle of Munari Pass, Shimada has rushed back to Sendai to join the Shinsengumi team; at the moment he and the young cadre Soma, who has not been emerging for a long time, are also busy.Seeing Liu Quan approaching, the two of them greeted her.Shimada pointed to a grove not far away and said, "Mr. Hijikata said he was waiting for you there."
Liu Quan felt even more puzzled.She thanked Shimada, and walked towards the grove hesitantly.
Her intuition was clamoring in her body—suddenly ordered to rest at the same place, the order to meet her was issued later alone, and now she set the meeting place in a small wood away from people's eyes... In the Shinsengumi's repeated defeats Now, in this situation, it doesn't look like something good will happen...? !
Earthwork stood under a tree.Hearing Liu Quan's footsteps, he turned around and looked at her.
"You stay, Qingyuan."
This sentence came so simply and simply that Liu Quan's mind went blank for a few seconds, and he didn't even realize what happened.
"... Huh?!" Under the extreme shock, she could only make this monosyllabic questioning sound.
"Stay away from the war." Tufang said calmly, "You don't need to follow us anymore."
Liu Quan:! ?
She stared at him in astonishment, her brain seemed to have been frozen by extreme surprise, and she had no intention of restarting.
"You... what did you say?!"
Hijikata showed an anxious expression that he didn't expect her to respond with such a stunned look.
"You're a woman." He said in a tone of terrifying calm. "The Shinsengumi don't need women."
These words seemed to stir Liu Quan's frozen nerves, and her brain finally started to twitch again, making a harsh creaking sound like a door hinge lacking lubrication.
"...you said before that I could stay!" she argued even louder to drown out the cacophony in her head.
Memories gradually revived in my mind.Liu Quan felt a burst of anger slowly rising to occupy his mind and chest.
"You said to me before, 'No matter what reason you intend to withdraw from the Shinsengumi in the future, it is a violation of the law in the game, and you must cut seppuku'!"
"...I don't want to cut my stomach for this kind of thing!" Liu Quan roared loudly.
Very good, now she can understand the good intentions of the earth side in choosing this place for the conversation.
Since no one would hear her yelling no matter how much she yelled, why would she maintain those false demeanors?She is about to be kicked out of the Shinsengumi by the deputy chief of the Shinsengumi—no, now the new chief of the bureau!
The last time he asked her to leave was for her to save Chief Kondo.But this time, without warning and without reason, what is it for? !
... No matter what kind of bullshit reason, she will never agree!
"Next, we will regroup in Ezo and launch a general counter-offensive. Even if we can't defeat the new government army for a while, we can rely on the natural geographical advantages of Ezo to establish a country there and plan for long-term confrontation..."
Hijikata's voice was so calm that one could feel a chill in the heart.
"So, I will definitely win the final victory, so don't worry about it."
"Since we will win the final victory..." Liu Quan squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "Why do you want to drive me away now?!"
Hijikata sighed softly, then looked at her with cold eyes.
"Stop looking for happiness in me."
Liu Quan:! ! !
For a moment she thought she had heard wrong.
It is true that she knows that her intention to attack him seems to be seen and mentioned repeatedly at this time when everyone is constantly parting, and it seems that it cannot be regarded as a secret; but her secret thought—or Said, the purpose of the mission——it was the first time the client responded so positively, which made her think she was dreaming.
He's never really touched on the subject before.He was by no means ignorant of her intentions, though everyone knew it; but he never seemed to intend to respond.Just as he never intended to respond to the pile of love letters from other women on the desk of the deputy chief in Mibu Village, which was full of Shinsengumi back then.
Liu Quan subconsciously wanted to deny this for a moment.
"I...I didn't...I didn't..."
Earthwork frowned deeply.
"...I can't make you happy."
He changed the phrase and said what he had just said.
For a moment Liu Quan felt his brain buzzing.
This is...rejection? !
……How can it be? !Even if it is no longer a goddess-level character who inherited the physique of Mary Su played in the previous two worlds, the "Qingyuan Yuba" here-if the status bonus of "Noriko Kujo" is added-no matter which one it is The objective setting is also supple to the extent that it can completely surpass the genuine heroine Xiao Qianhe of the original work. No, there is no reason to be rejected so simply and neatly? !
——Especially, when the other party has clearly expressed their willingness to have a CP with you for a long time! !Now don't come here to tell her such nonsense as [those good memories are all because the deputy chief regards her as a reliable companion and not as a CP object]!There are still many reliable companions, why don't you see him doing similar things? !
The deputy chief... No, the director probably got into a dead end again.This dangerous behavior must be clearly and immediately stopped!
"Whether you can get happiness...it doesn't matter..." Liu Quan raised his voice a little as if he had made up his mind.
"I have not followed Hijikata-san for this reason! With the ideals and beliefs brought to me by the Shinsengumi, I have fought with everyone so far, not because I was left behind by Mr. Hijikata in this place...!"
Although she knew that the most important thing was to dispel the other party's wrong thoughts calmly and rationally now, but at this point, the sudden tears made her nose sore without warning.Liu Quan clenched his teeth.
"I want to fight with everyone, I want to stand beside Hijikata-san, and continue to do my best for Shinsengumi's ideals and beliefs as before... It doesn't matter if I risk my life—"
Hearing her shocking confession, Hijikata suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed again.
"...It is precisely because of this that I definitely told you to go." His eyes drifted away briefly, and he muttered like a whisper, and then looked at Liu Quan seriously.
"I am very grateful for your feelings... But, I very much hope that you can find happiness and live a good life elsewhere. Live until a long time later, and spend this life safely..."
Liu Quan:! ! !
At that moment, she felt that her body seemed to be hot and cold, all the internal organs tightened, and the beating of the heart seemed to become extremely slow.
His tone was very earnest.He didn't just say that to convince her.He was sincerely wishing that such a beautiful result would happen to her.
Because of this, the moments of beauty and pain of knowing this fact are heightened.
Although he said indifferent words and made a ruthless expression, his tone and diction, in the subtleties, still showed his earnestness for her, his desire for her to live more than anyone else, and his determination to push her away forever. her pain.
Although he knew that his strategy process seemed to be progressing slowly bit by bit, Liu Quan never thought that one day she would get such a beautiful response mixed with sweetness and pain.
"...Is Hijikata-san a fool...?"
Her words made him slightly startled, as if he hadn't thought of how she would say such a sentence at all.
"Say such things to me... how could I go away!!" Liu Quan burst out in the next second, shouting at the new director of the Shinsengumi.
He is a calm and mature person, and he is always so strict at ordinary times, and the one who yells the most is probably "Shidou is not enlightened, go to harakiri".However, now she is talking about the naive wish like a child, longing for a person like her who has been active as a cadre of the Shinsengumi for so many years to suddenly disappear in the sea of people as an ordinary person, and then live a life of peace and happiness go down? !
But she also knew that if she said any more strong words, it would only strengthen the determination of the earth side to drive her away.
Just as she didn't want to see him die, he didn't want to see her die either.
Is that why he was so clumsily planning to send her away...? !
Do you think that if you drive her away, she can live in a place he can no longer see or know, so that he can be satisfied and die in peace? !
The author has something to say:
February 5:
Well, everyone has to believe that the confession will come in a few chapters, and all difficulties are only temporary! 【.
PS. This chapter mentions Shimada a little bit, so let’s take this opportunity to talk about it.The image of Shimada in the Dahe drama is a loyal, honest, and very loyal big man. He followed the Shinsengumi to the final battle of Hakodate. He survived after the war, opened a dojo or something, and wrote a book. Describe the activities and deeds of the Shinsengumi.In his later years, he went to Nishi Honganji Temple, the original settlement of the Shinsengumi, to serve as a night guard. He worked there for 14 years, until one night he suddenly fell down and passed away while working at Nishi Honganji Temple (according to Japanese Wiki).Xin Baji also attended his funeral.I don't know why, but thinking about it also feels cruel. . .In the end, he was still at Nishi Honganji Temple where everyone lived together, and caught up with those companions who had gone first.
As for the chief planner Soma also mentioned in this chapter, he is probably more famous. He has been promoted to one of the target targets in the latest series of Hakuoki Zhenkai series. Looks a bit like him too).After Hijikata sacrificed, Chief Soma took over as the director of Shinsengumi, and finally surrendered in the name of the director in order to protect everyone. It seems that he wanted to take responsibility by himself, so that others would not be severely punished. up.In short, he also experienced a very difficult life of being raped and exiled before he was pardoned and returned to Tokyo.However, it didn't take long for him to have seppuku alone at his home in Tokyo, and the reason is still unknown.
Well, so, under the torrent of the times, the light emitted by people who stick to their ideals is very small.However, it is precisely because of their existence that the greatness of spiritual power can be repeatedly confirmed.
