Chapter 681 [Chapter 4] 104
Having said that, the young team member named "Qing Yuan" didn't seem to panic or panic.
He just shook his wrist slightly, as if he wanted to shake off the non-existing black blood drop on the blade in his hand; then he didn't put the knife back into its sheath, but just stood in the middle of the room, holding a knife in his hand to attack him. Said that the Taidao seemed too long to fit well, and showed a bright eight-toothed smile at another one of the most famous swordsmen in the Shinsengumi in the room.
"Don't make fun of me, Okita-kun."
His voice was calm and composed, and there was no trace of guilty conscience.
"As your defeated opponent, I'm also very happy to find some confidence in these monsters."
As if he didn't expect to get such a response, Okita was slightly stuck.
"...You, you are quite good at talking."
Kiyohara: ^_^
In fact, Okita didn't want to talk to him too much.Because just now during the battle, his chest churned violently.Now that he was suddenly freed from the fierce battle, he almost immediately felt that the chest tightness, heartbeat, shortness of breath and other bad natural reactions that he had suppressed in order to win were all the same. And surged up.
He only felt his chest churning like mountains and seas, and a hot current was swept up from the depths of his chest by the ominous wave and poured into his throat!
He didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't even have time to suppress the sinister tide from inside his body with his own willpower. He was engulfed by it, and suddenly staggered two steps forward. Before he could close his mouth tightly, it gushed out from between his lips and onto his chin.
The hot stream seemed to be made of some fishy-sweet liquid, and the sudden surge of liquid made him cough unexpectedly.
"Cough-cough-cough-cough-"
In his blurred vision due to violent coughing, he saw that the calm smile on the face of the young soldier in front of him suddenly disappeared.
"Okita-kun!!"
He heard the other party shout in a terrified and hoarse voice that almost broke his throat.
Then in the next moment, he felt his left arm being strongly held by the opponent rushing up.
He wanted to say that he was not a weak person, just because he suffered a little internal injury in the fierce battle and needed help—but he was a little speechless for a moment, because the fishy-sweet liquid kept pouring up from the depths of his chest It almost blocked his throat, making him unable to bear the urge to cough violently.
That feeling is very strange, as if there is a good monster hiding there, scratching his throat with a feather, rubbing his chest vigorously with both hands, back and forth like crumpling a piece of paper There was a crackling sound, and finally it seemed that a large handful of sand was rubbed into his throat suddenly; the coarse sand rubbed against the softest part of his throat, and quickly worn it out, Bleeding.
He had no choice but to let go of the right hand that was holding the "California Qingguang" that had been broken off, and instead tightly covered his lips, lest the bursts of fishy-sweet liquid surging from his body would follow the violent Coughing and wheezing and spitting out.
But all his efforts were in vain.
With the sound of a violent cough, some liquid gushed out of his mouth, and then trickled out from between the fingers covering his lips, dripping on the tatami.
He felt so embarrassed that he had to squeeze out his voice between coughing and panting to warn the unlucky Ping Soldier who happened to be in his most embarrassing moment.
"You, if you dare...to tell, to tell Mr. Kondo...and Mr. Hijikata about everything that happened here today...you will die!"
He said through gritted teeth, and then broke out into an earth-shattering cough.
"Cough cough cough..."
He heard the guy next to him sigh as if holding back something.
"Oh..." He heard the guy reply, "I will keep it a secret for you... But, you have to go to the doctor after you go back, you can't delay, you know?"
That old-fashioned, condescending, preaching tone made the corners of Chongtian's lips curl into a ghostly smile.However, before he could retort, a new urge to cough and pant swept over again.
He had to pause for a long time before he regained his energy and shook his hands, feeling that the wet and sticky liquid on his hands could not be shaken off, so he impatiently wiped all the wet and sticky liquid out of his brain I wiped it on the front of my clothes, feeling like I was stained with blood in a fierce battle, and said: "Qingyuan, you'd better remember... what you promised yourself! If... ...Mr. Kondo—"
"If Mr. Kondo knows, it must be because you forced yourself before you recovered." The soldier Ping, whose personality and appearance were vague in his impression and had not had time to impress everyone, unexpectedly So replied.
Okita: "..."
Although the other party retorted, but because the other party said this sentence too confidently and frankly, I felt that I couldn't refute it for a while, what's the matter!
Okita is not used to letting others gain the upper hand in front of him, but at the moment when the other party carried Mr. Kondo out in a grand manner, he also felt speechless for a while.
He coughed a few more times, feeling that the nausea rolling in his chest was less severe.So he tried to bend down to pick up the knife he threw on the ground, but when he lowered his head, he felt dizzy again.
The guy next to him caught his arm just in time.
"Hey, how's it going? Don't force yourself!" The guy raised his voice a little worriedly.
From what it sounds like, that guy's voice is actually quite youthful.This kind of voice makes people unable to raise the energy to be wary or annoying, and the sense of concern in that tone cannot be faked; Okita closed his eyes and sighed silently.
But if you have to ask, you still have to ask.
"...What are you doing here?"
The guy named "Qing Yuan" was taken aback for a moment.
"……Eh?"
Ahhh, I really don't want to waste my words at this time.Okita sighed again as if impatient.
"You, you are not in Mr. Kondo's team assigned today. ... If I remember correctly, you still have diarrhea during the day and can't stand up." His voice was slightly panting because of the severe cough just now , the words spoken in a calm tone are inexplicably shocking.
"Even if he recovered miraculously now, he should go to help Mr. Shannan who is staying in the garrison to be vigilant. What do you want to do here without authorization?"
The youthful voice, which was different from what she remembered, but equally calm, sensitive, smiling and sharp, questioned her mercilessly.
Even if she had just backed him up, helped him out, showed her unreserved concern for him...it wasn't enough to dispel his vigilance, which was especially sharp and clear for Kondo-san, was it.
Things seem to be getting a little tricky.But this is Souji Okita, the Souji-kun who is loyal and admires Kondo-san...
It was exactly the same as in her memory.
Liu Quan closed his eyes and smiled silently.
"Because I too... can't rest assured no matter what." She said.
"Let me just guard the garrison so comfortably and wait for everyone to defeat a powerful enemy who doesn't know where, how many people will be there, and what kind of hard work will be thrown into it... This is not something I will do .”
Okita: "..."
He seemed to want to hear what she had to say, so he didn't make any comments for a while.
"...Besides, the governor of Kyoto and the Aizu feudal clan didn't intend to send reinforcements over." Liu Quan continued.
"So, I have to come here. I have to fight...not stand by and watch everyone struggle."
Okita was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered.
"Hmph, big talker," he said.
"Then why don't you go to the direction of Mr. Hijikata's inspection team? Don't you usually show admiration for him? Every day, Mr. Hijikata does this, Mr. Hijikata does that, but when something really happens, you run to Mr. Kondo? "
He spoke angrily in that annoyed tone.
"Oh~ I can probably guess it," he said with malicious emotion, "According to the information, Mr. Hijikata is more likely to encounter unruly rogues there, so he brought more people. ~You chose to come here because of this, right?...I'm sorry, but those unprofessionals actually hid here at Ikedaya, so you got a lottery~"
Liu Quan: "..."
She suddenly had an angry and funny mood, mixed with emotion and sentimentality of "Ah, whether it's history or the same person, this person will always be this person", it all rushed up, and it almost made the tip of her nose sore in an instant. , Tears welled up.
She had to raise her voice to suppress the strange emotion and sentimentality that was rolling in her chest.
"It's not like that!" she denied loudly, and then lowered her voice a little.
"It is precisely because of the small number of people on your side that I think it is the direction that needs more support." She took a deep breath and said seriously.
"It's late...but it's better than never coming."
"That's what I think, Okita-kun."
Okita: "..."
In the dark night, the young man seemed to take a deep breath out of surprise.
Then, he didn't say whether he had dispelled his doubts and vigilance about her not being on the initial attack list but appearing here suddenly, but simply said: "Mr. Kondo, now how's it going?"
