Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 550 No Responsibility Extra Chapter Saito Chapter [Part 2] Part [-]

After traveling on the road for about ten days, Liu Quan finally arrived at Dounan.

Dounan is an unimaginably barren land.The Aizu domain of 28 shi before the war, after a war to realize their loyalty, ended up with such an ending in the end, and people have to lament the cruelty of fate.

Walking on the deserted street, looking at the simple houses on both sides, Liu Quan thought in his heart where he was going to find Xiao Yi, and after finding him, how to confirm his current well-being, and then say goodbye to him properly.

System Bacteria claimed that "because the extraction process of the next mission world has not been completed", she unexpectedly gained about a month of time.

It is obviously not a good choice to spend this month in the endless palace where you can only live alone.However, now that the transportation is inconvenient, it is obviously impossible to find the whereabouts of all the former Shinsengumi companions within a month.

After much deliberation, the only place she can choose is Dounan, which is the closest to Hakodate—of course, it is not that close, not to mention that there is no convenient transportation at this time.

After her identity was exposed—to be precise, after the fact that she had never reached out to Kondo who was in prison at all was exposed, she wanted to continue to be loyal to Kondo to the extreme, and put her life, beliefs and expectations Staying by the side of the deputy chief who is pinned on Kondo is tantamount to fantasy.

Her skin isn't that thick yet.Besides, the deputy chief acted as if he never wanted to see her again.

So she quietly left the deep mountains of Hakodate and went to Dounan.

At least we can say goodbye to Xiao Yi properly.

In Dounan, it was already very cold near late autumn.

Liu Quan always felt that the air was a bit chilly, and it might snow in the next few days.

As she was thinking this way, she felt tiny icy scum falling on her face and attached to the surface of her skin, which made her shiver uncontrollably.

The next moment she froze.Because at the corner of the street ahead, a young man with dark blue hair turned out from there, wearing a black dress with a very haggard face, but his eyes were still deep!

His right hand was pressed on the hilt of the dagger hanging from his waist, and he lowered his eyes slightly to look at the road, walking at a steady and firm pace.

When he got a little closer, she could finally see his face clearly.

"...a gentleman?!" she murmured.

The young man's ears suddenly caught this whisper-like voice, and he immediately stopped and raised his head.

The expression on his face suddenly turned blank in the next second.

He was so surprised that he paused for several seconds before making a sound of disbelief.

"... Xueye, Jun?!"

After calling out this name, as if something was loosening, he quickly recovered from the previous embarrassment of being so shocked that he couldn't react, and strode in front of her.

"Mr. Xueye, why... are you here?!" Although there was an unbelievably huge shock in his voice, there seemed to be a trace of joy hidden in that shock, which made his ending unbelievable. Floating upwards in a restrained manner, it almost sounds like a sense of distortion.

Liu Quan choked for a moment, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

What can I say... Said that she successfully ran away the deputy chief in anger, so angry that the deputy chief didn't want to talk to her anymore?Or is it that she can no longer stay in this world, so she just came to say goodbye to him today?

She was silent for a long time.

This kind of silence made the previous surprise on Saito's face loosen, and even the slightly raised lip corners slowly disappeared.

"Is there something difficult to say?" He asked slowly.

Liu Quan: "..."

Saito lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at her again.

"Then speak slowly. Speak well, because here I am..." He said in a tone of uncanny calm.

"It doesn't matter what it is. I will listen carefully."

Liu Quan:? !

She hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"Yijun, why do you say such things..." She still lowered her gaze, avoiding his gaze, and shook her head slightly, as if helpless.

Saito looked at her in surprise, with question marks all over his face, as if he didn't understand what he said wrong.

"...If Yijun said that, I can only tell you." After she finished the following words, she finally raised her eyes and looked back at him.Those eyes, like black crystals, were bottomless.

"Mr. Hijikata...is still alive after the battle of Hakodate. However, this is a secret."

"I came up with a good idea and succeeded in misleading other people... probably everyone now thinks he is dead."

"It was a good thing...but I made him angry. Because I did something unforgivable...he might never want to see me again in his life."

A layer of bitterness and self-mockery gradually surfaced in her smile.

"Yijun, do you want to hear the story behind this? It's very long." She said.

Before Saito could reply, he heard her speak again, with a sharp self-mockery in her voice.

"Looks...you'll regret listening to it."

Saito:? !

He paused for a rare moment, subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand on the handle at his waist.

Then, he slowly replied: "Then I have to listen too."

Liu Quan smiled wryly and sighed, thinking that with Yi Jun's attributes as a deputy chief chef, after listening to this, maybe this personal line would be directly downgraded to a friendship line because of the sharp drop in favorability——

However, the next moment, Xiao Yi said something—something that seemed a little outrageous?

...although he probably said it unconsciously.

He said: "Because, as long as there is something about Mr. Xueye, I really want to hear about it."

Liu Quan:! ! !

The natural Xiaoyi probably didn't know how incredible lines he uttered. ...is this really a headache?

Besides, if he said that, it would be impossible to refuse...

Liu Quan couldn't help but sighed again.

……

The result of all that was said was that the two of them stood facing each other awkwardly, standing in the middle of the cold and desolate Dounan Street.

After listening to Liu Quan's brief background story, Saito did not speak for a long time.

The longer the silence lasted, the more Liu Quan felt that he must have gone crazy just now.

Why did you tell Xiao Yi the truth of all this so simply...? !

Such dazed thoughts appeared in Liu Quan's mind, but she quickly came to a conclusion.

Maybe it's because of trust, I believe that Yi Jun will not abandon his friends and companions just because of this...?

Or is it because... my feelings for him are completely different, even if I lose a friend like him, it won't cause lifelong pain?Is it because you don't care enough?

Or... is it because I am sure that Yijun will not care so much because of this?Is it because I am convinced that Yijun has similar feelings for me, and because I don't care enough, I choose not to criticize him?

...Probably, all of them.

And, now it is the only way to think so.

You have to think so...

In such a long silence, Saito seemed to have finished his careful thinking.

He raised his head again, stared at Liu Quan solemnly, and finally spoke.

"Mr. Xueye... really did something wrong."

"While I have no right to blame your motives for joining the Shinsengumi in the first place...but choosing to keep everything a secret for so long, especially from Hijikata-san...it is an inappropriate move."

"I can see your true feelings from your behavior and beliefs in defending the Shinsengumi all the time. And, you defend the mood of the deputy chief...Mr. Hijikata. In this world, perhaps no one can compare with you Well...not even me."

"I can understand your fear that you will be expelled from the Shinsengumi after you confess everything, or be dealt with according to the law in the game. You are probably not afraid of being punished, but afraid of losing the qualification to stay in the Shinsengumi, right? ..."

Sighing softly, he stared deeply at Liu Quan's face without reservation, as if he wanted to look into the deepest part of her eyes.

"But, haven't you considered Mr. Hijikata's feelings?... If it wasn't impossible for you to choose to hide it to the end, why didn't he keep you when you left?"

"Mr. Hijikata... must be suffering more than anyone else now. It has always been like this... He is used to taking on everything related to the Shinsengumi and the people around him... And this time, the one that caused him pain is You, Xueye-jun."

For some reason, when he said this, he paused, and his voice became a little difficult.

"...In this case, the pain in his heart will be doubled."

Sure enough, it was still the same junior one.When it comes to people he seriously cares about, he can be surprisingly careful, perceptive and talkative, and every word he utters hits the spot.

Such a gentleman made Liu Quan feel a bit of nostalgia, but also felt a burst of pain because of what he said frankly.

I actually understand all these things...

However, I have already lost the qualification to beg his forgiveness...

Seeing Saito's eyes slightly wide open in front of her, she realized that she had unconsciously expressed her thoughts just now.

She felt ashamed for a while, and couldn't look directly at Saito's eyes that were still straight and clear.She lowered her head, and a slight shudder ran through the backs of her clenched fists on both sides of her body.

Then, she heard Xiao Yi sigh softly on top of her head.

"...Since you have no place to go for the time being, please stay here."

For a moment Liu Quan was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears.She raised her head suddenly, but saw Saito's face became solemn and solemn.

"Stay with me for now. In the future, we will always find a way..."

Think of a way to untie this knot.Think of a way to ask for Mr. Hijikata's understanding.Figure out a way to fix it all.

In his eyes, Liu Quan read such unfinished subtext.

A kind of guilt mixed with gratitude to him, and the touch that he chose to trust and tolerate her rose up in Liu Quan's heart.

"...Yijun." She softly called his name, looking at his calm, stable and calm face as before, a strange idea suddenly appeared.

...It's really hard to imagine that a gentleman who has always been so reliable is actually younger than himself.

His imposing manner and composure have never been related to age.

When facing the dark situation of the end of life again, it was the Shinsengumi again—an important member of the Shinsengumi who saved her.

"Thank you."
