Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 678 [Chapter 4] 101

"and after?"

In a room on the second floor of a small hotel near Sanjo Dori, Natsuo Toshiro asked excitedly.

The female interrogator who he asked had a wooden face.

"Later? After defeating all the time retrograde army, we came back."

"Ah, so perfunctory!" Catfish tail stretched out his voice, showing a look of curiosity, staring at the female God examiner, and continued to ask: "So, how do you judge that the purpose of the time retrograde army has changed?"

The female judge continued to put on a blank face.

"Actually, it's a very simple reasoning....Because the task of recapturing the guns by the rogues was successfully completed just like in history. Then the time-traveling army present at the scene saw that history could not be changed, so they turned to attack the Shinsengumi and tried to change history. This is also a matter of course—because the next winner in history will be the Shinsengumi."

"They suddenly changed their attack target and raided Saitoichi's behavior, which also confirmed my guess is correct. Otherwise, they would go to help Saitoichi."

Cattail responded with "Oh oh", as if he was the only one in the room who seemed most interested in the whole story, and then spoke to the female judge: "It turns out that even in such a brilliant day for the Shinsengumi, there are Unhappy moments—”

The female interrogator really let out a wry smile this time.

"Of course." She smiled helplessly, "Actually, at night we...well, the Shinsengumi still couldn't determine where the extremist rogues gathered, whether it was near Ikedaya or Shikokuya. And ,Everyone’s speculation is far from the truth, Mr. Kondo and Mr. Hijikata both think that Shikokuya is a more likely location, so Mr. Hijikata took away more people—”

"Oh," Cattail asked enthusiastically, "It's really thrilling! So which team were you in then?"

As soon as this question was thrown out, there was a moment of silence in the whole room.

In the first episode, he was the first to stop his younger brother. "Catty tail! It's too rude to go to the bottom of the past that the master didn't take the initiative to mention!"

The female interrogator was also taken aback for a moment, as if she was surprised to hear such a straightforward question.But she laughed quickly, as if she didn't mind the simple curiosity.

"...It's in the team going to Shikokuya." She sighed, and a nostalgic expression appeared on her face for a moment.

Even Mikazuki Munekin and Izumi Mori Kanesada, who had been to that era, had never participated in this past event, so Mikazuki Munekin, who was sitting in a corner of the room drinking tea at the moment, moved his face slightly, and put down his teacup.

However, the attention of the female judge did not fall on him.

Rather, her attention didn't seem to be on anyone in the room.

She raised her head slightly, and her gaze passed the half-opened window, as if drifting to the orange-red sky that had been stained with twilight outside the window; the smile on her lips gradually became clear with her memories.

It was a real smile.

"So, there's no such thing as a heroic performance of yelling the phrase 'Queen's inspector!' and rushing into the Ikeda house majesticly." She said jokingly.

Probably because of the hard-to-change habits of the swordsmen of the Shinsengumi. Every time they go out on the map of Ikedaya, they have to shout a standard line. He seemed to scratch his hair, then smiled.

The smile on the lips of the female judge also expanded a lot.

"...But, in the end, I rushed there in a hurry and also rushed to the second floor of Ikeda House." She said softly.

"Speaking of... that night, it's not like I didn't fight with all my heart."

"Although he was not included in the Aizu Clan's list of rewards...but he also received a very good gift."

With a sigh-like ending, her memories end here.

Maybe it was because he was not blamed by the judge, but instead heard the answer, so Cattail seemed even more elated.Moreover, tonight's battle at Ikeda House is the moment when the Shinsengumi shines brightly, and the former member of the female judge will not feel heavy because of this—— With such a guess, he asked curiously He said, "Oh, that's really nice! What kind of thank you gift do you have?"

The female judge looked back at the sky outside the window, glanced at Cattail's eyes burning with gossip and curiosity, and pursed her lips into a smile.

"There are Kopeito, dango, and even takoyaki..."

"Eh?!" Catfish Tail shouted, extremely surprised.

"...And, there are cherry cakes that you can't finish eating." The female judge continued.

Cattail waited for her to continue, who knew that her words would end here, and smiled at him, indicating that there would be no more.

"Hey~ The people in the Shinsengumi are so interesting~" Natsuo felt that he had the obligation to comment responsibly, so he said.

"It's not like the 'cold-blooded murder group' in the legend, but it's very human~" He looked at the relaxed facial lines of the female judge, and added another sentence with a smile.

"Jinpingtang, dumplings, takoyaki, and cherry cakes..." He counted them one by one with his fingers, and asked with a smile: "Did they already know that you are a girl, the master, so they bought these dim sums to coax you?" happy?"

For such a short moment, the smile on the female judge's face froze slightly.

However, she quickly recovered her previous calm attitude, and replied with a smile: "Will you make me happy? Well, I really have never thought about it before....Maybe, it is like this."

She stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the street that was getting dark but still bustling.

"At this time, everyone may still be waiting for the reinforcements promised by the Aizu domain and the Kyoto governor, but will never appear in time." She said, and then turned from the window.

"They are not going out on behalf of Kyoto Soji, but we are going out." She lowered her brows slightly, the smile on her face disappeared, and her expression became solemn.

"From now on, the time retrograde army may appear anywhere in Kyoto at any time and cause trouble... Everyone should not underestimate the enemy."

She started delegating tasks.

"Qingjiang, Yaoyan, and Niaowei, the three of you are on alert in the other three directions. If there is any change, please report to me immediately."

"Phase [-], you go to the House of the Four Kingdoms. In order to change history, there are many places where the time-traveling army can do things... Maybe I don't know when to start from the inside of those radical rogues, and directly lead them to the House of the Four Kingdoms meeting, which is also an option. one……"

Yiqi nodded solemnly.

Having said that, the female interrogator seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"So, one more person should be sent to Shikokuya..."

Her eyes wandered back and forth several times between Chang Zeng Mi HuToru and Sanka Yue Zongjin, and finally made up her mind.

... Taidao's reconnaissance and maneuvering at night are still not reliable.Then she and Toru Nagaso, who also played in Ikedaya, must have one of them go to Shikokuya.

Liu Quan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to use his own lofty (?) status as a god judge.

"Nagasomi, you also go to Shikokuya." She said loudly, "I know you are more familiar with Ikedaya's situation, but as a swordsman, you have an advantage over Taidao at night... in case Shikokuya There is a real change in the direction, and it may not be enough to rely on Mr. Yiqi alone to deal with it."

Chang Zeng Mihutoru seemed taken aback.

He seemed completely unaware that, as Shinsengumi chief Isamu Kondo's favorite sword, he showed his skills in the historical Ikedaya incident, but he failed to get a chance to play here and was assigned to Shikokuya.However, his honest, loyal and calm character played a role at this moment, so he simply nodded and responded forcefully: "Of order."

Then, Liu Quan turned his gaze to one of the five swordsmen in the world who seemed to be drinking tea in peace, pretending not to notice the faint smile on the corner of his lips.

"Mikazuki, you and I will go to Ikeda House." She said briefly.

"When you get there, just like the historical arrangement, you go to the backyard to monitor the movement of the time-traveling army, and I will rush from the front—"

She almost said the words "I burst in from the front", and bit the syllable at the end of the sentence just in time.

"I am monitoring from the front. Everyone, once you notice any changes, please notify each other in time."

She took a deep breath and looked around at the people around her.

"When you leave Honmaru, take all the fireworks that Foxnosuke provided to everyone. If the situation changes, please use it immediately to notify other companions."

Everyone nodded.

So, after the sky completely darkened, the group of them spread out in four directions of the capital and two important locations, lurking.

Liu Quan and Mikazuki Zong recently arrived near Ikeda House.At this time, although the nearby shops were still open, Ikeda House looked like it was about to close, the door was almost completely closed, the window sash was closed tightly, and there seemed to be a faint candlelight in some windows .

Liu Quan and Mikami Tsukimune were on the street a short distance away from Ikeda House, and the townspeople who pretended to be strolling were looking around casually while buying snacks and food at the shops and stalls on the side of the road. It seemed that he was interested in the bustling streets on the eve of the festival.

"Well, it's really good!" Liu Quan bought a huge skewer of takoyaki in a small shop next to him, and while he was gesturing to pick up a skewer to eat, he was excited like a boy who had rarely seen such a lively scene. Shouting towards Sanriyue Zongjin, who was standing leisurely with his hands clasped, waiting for her to finish shopping, he shouted, "Why don't you come and try a bunch, it's delicious, Nissan!"

... The smile on Mikazuki Zongjin's face seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then, the smile on his face quickly returned to nature.

He shook his head towards Liu Quan, and replied gently: "No, you can eat by yourself."

The proprietress next to him seemed to find it very interesting, looked at the two of them, and said, "Guest, this...is your brother?"

Liu Quan was about to take the opportunity to chat with her, so he pretended to be a straightforward and cheerful country boy who had just arrived in the bustling Kyoto, and replied with a happy expression: "Yes! Yes!"

Sanri Yue Zongjin: "...Ahahahaha."

The proprietress added a spoonful of sauce to the takoyaki wrapped in oil paper in Liu Quan's hands, and said with a smile: "Oh, he looks like a very talented person!"

Liu Quan sighed loudly on purpose.

"That's right~ When I was in my hometown, everyone said that...ah~ah, no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to him, damn~"

The proprietress smiled and looked at this young man with sparkling eyes.

"Oh, what are you talking about. Don't worry, in the future, there will be people who think you are so good that no one else can compare to you~"

Liu Quan: "..."

What should I do, when I talk to an enthusiastic aunt, I always get stuck in a few sentences.

She pretended not to understand what the proprietress said, and forced a wave of rhythm with a smile.

"Well, it's too troublesome to think about this kind of thing now. ... Let Nissan have a headache first~" She rolled her eyes, showing a mischievous expression.

Sanri Yue Zongjin: "...hahaha."

"...so I just want to think about something happy now!" Liu Quan continued excitedly, ignoring his devilish laughter (fog!).

"Festival! It couldn't be better. The street is full of delicious food and fun!" She took a big bite of takoyaki and said inarticulately, "Ah~ Speaking of which, what kind of store is that opposite? Huh? When is this? Just close the door! Don't do business anymore..."

The proprietress raised her eyes and looked at the Ikedaya across the street, diagonally across the street.

"... Cough, who knows." She replied perfunctorily, "In the evening, I heard from the boss that the shop assistants have asked for leave tonight, and there is not enough manpower, so we simply closed the store a day earlier...Anyway, Gion The festival will last for another month, and sometimes it is time for business..."

"Hey~ That's it~" The energetic country boy in front of her seemed to just ask casually, and didn't care about the answer he got at all; Cheng Fudi responded casually, and took another big bite of the takoyaki in his hand with a loud squeak.
