Chapter 997 [Chapter 6] 11
And in the following days, as he deliberately chose to avoid and ignore Qingyuan Xueye's increasingly clear sense of existence, the connection between her and other people became more and more distinct And it became clear.Until he realizes that if he continues like this, he will have no right to interfere with that look, that gaze, that connection—
It was at that moment that a childish emotion similar to a rivalry suddenly arose in his heart.
Like a fledgling boy, he began to entrust her with many important tasks more and more, and after she fulfilled his request earnestly and brilliantly every time, something happened in his heart. A kind of secret self-satisfaction—as if this can prove that only his request can be satisfied first with her, and only he has the ability to make her use all her strength and brilliance to fulfill his wish; he has no doubts She doesn't have to be wary of her, because what he gets from her is something more, deeper, sweeter, and powerfully persuasive than the friendship, care, and loyalty that everyone else can get. ——
Those are glorious memories that have disappeared in the past.But today, the guy in front of him named "Nine Tiao Sanlang" managed to stir up those memories that had been deeply hidden in his heart for a long time.
This is not very good.Because on the battlefield, only extreme calmness can keenly capture the short-term opportunity to control the enemy with one move in the long-term circling.
Deep down in his heart, he knew clearly that this time he had missed such an opportunity.
When he was confronting this "Nine Tiao Saburo", the Satsuma who came up later to reinforce him had already mopped the floor with his straps and got rid of the guy who was still breathing on the ground.Of course he didn't want to sit back and watch this happen, but that guy named "Kujo Saburo" was very vigilant; every time his body shook slightly in the direction of the two people next to him, even if he hadn't really moved his body, that guy "Kujo Saburo" has already made preparations and blocked the direction he intends to move.
That guy seems to know Hijikata's combat habits very well, which is very suspicious-everyone has a little bit of a habit when fighting. For example, the chief commander will shake his knife a little before attacking Jian, Saito has extremely focused eyes, no matter how much the other party says, he will not pay attention to or respond; Yongcang is just the opposite, he is the kind of person who wishes to overwhelm his opponent in terms of eloquence and swordsmanship...
And this guy named "Kujo Saburo" seems to be familiar with some of Hijikata's little habits like a coincidence; when Hijikata just shook his shoulders in a certain direction he planned to move across, that guy had already stepped out With two big strides, he jumped to the direction that the earthworker was scheduled to move, and at the same time, he did not forget to check the position, and did not give up any gap for the earthworker to break through his defense line.
Moreover, that guy actually spoke!
"...Today, let's call it a day."
His voice sounded very strange, as if subtly suppressing his voice as a cover, or as if he had to choke out the syllables slowly because of some emotion welling up; the rain curtain fell from between the two of them Passing through, making their figures and faces looking at each other a little blurry.
"I can't win you... However, I won't let you kill me so easily."
That guy's voice fell with the sound of rain.Hijikata keenly caught some kind of emotion in the other party's tone... mixed with almost joy and sigh, so Hijikata felt even more annoyed.
"Since there may be a chance to meet again in the future...you still have many chances to kill me. Why don't you let me live until then?"
Now, the smile in that guy's voice is a little obvious.Maybe it's an illusion of Hijikata, but after adding that smile, that guy's voice seems to be less hoarse -- and after the hoarseness fades, that guy's smiling voice makes people feel a bit inexplicably familiar.However, the earth side couldn't figure out why this was for a while.
However, this kind of provocative and smiling tone is really annoying!
Hijikata lowered his face, and shouted with a strong courage that never failed before: "...you, do you think that you can escape today's crisis by talking to yourself for such a long time without authorization! If you just let you talk If you can just get away with it, then what has become of our new... Xinxuan brigade!! Don't talk big, arrogant boy!"
He thought that these words were threatening and imposing, and if they were put on the streets of Kyoto ten years ago, they would be enough to scare seven or eight fierce and unruly wanderers on the opposite side; But he was not intimidated, but after being slightly startled, he suddenly burst out laughing!
Tu Fang's anger gauge was instantly ignited by his laughter, breaking through the maximum value.
"Hey you!--"
He yelled imposingly, and just about to say a few more words to boost his momentum before he launched an attack, he saw the guy on the opposite side put away his smile, his brows and eyes calmed down, and the scarf that covered half of his face was exposed. The pair of bright and energetic eyes above stared at him deeply.
"Mr. Naito, you are a hero~" The arrogant boy named "Kujo Saburo" suddenly changed his tone, and said so meaningfully in Kyoto accent.
Earthwork:! ! !
... what is he implying? !He's not from Satsuma, but—is he from Kyoto? !
That kind of Kyoto accent sounds a bit strange at first glance, but you can find the reason after careful consideration - although it has been imitated very similarly, some pronunciations of the Kyoto accent used by Saburo Kujo are still a bit specious, and no doubt he learned it later Yes, not the accent of a local from Kyoto.
...that would be very dangerous.
The other party deliberately adopted the Kyoto accent, which is obviously an ominous hint-the Shinsengumi was most active when they were in Kyoto, and although their brigade is called "Shinsenbrigade", not everyone They are all from the Shinsengumi; among the members, there are of course Aizu people, Kuwana people, and even Satsuma people... But now, Kujo Saburo deliberately speaks in Kyoto dialect in front of him, which means that the other party must be aware of it. what -
Tufang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"……What do you mean?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the pair of bright black eyes on the other person's face, above the scarf that covered his face, slowly curved into the shape of a crescent moon, as if he was in a good mood.
"I said—" he dragged out the end of his voice.
"...It means literally." He suddenly said solemnly, his eyes flickered, and there was a smile hidden deep in his eyes.
The heavy rain passed through the bamboo forest, and the leaves made a rustling sound.Tawarasaka should have been a killing field and a hell on earth, but at this moment, in this small bamboo forest, the sky and the earth suddenly became extremely quiet, as if there were only the two of them left in the whole world, and the one who was covered with a scarf. The voice of a strange young man covering half his face.
"I'm afraid I'll never be able to defeat you. However, it's impossible for me to surrender like this~"
He said.
"Understood? Even if I am defeated by your sword one day, I will never admit defeat to you. It's not because of my allegiance to anyone, but because—"
He said strange words that made Tufang more and more suspicious, but just when he was about to get to the point, he stopped suddenly, choked up slightly, shook his head, and suddenly smiled, in a different way Leisurely and obnoxious attitude.
Suddenly, he took a step back and slowly withdrew his left hand holding the knife.Now, although he was still holding the knife in his right hand with the point of the knife pointing at Earth, that gesture obviously meant that he didn't want to fight with Earth any longer.
As if he was very tired, as soon as he freed his left hand, he immediately supported his waist, rubbed his waist as if his back was sore, and even beat his lower back—although he stretched his body from head to tail There was no killing intent, but this attitude was still too contemptuous; Hijikata's eyebrows were pressed down, and anger emerged on his face.
"Let me tell you—you! Do you think you can do whatever you want forever! Don't you have any respect for your opponent, for the battle where your life is on the line! Even if someone like you appears on the battlefield, you still—"
Before his lecture was over, he saw the guy named "Kujo Saburo" in front of him slowly straighten up, straightening his back bit by bit.
... Are you introspecting?It doesn't look like it...
Tufang thought so.
The next moment he knew the answer.
"You seem to know me well—" The guy smirked and dragged his voice.
Earth Fang felt that he could indeed guess a little bit of the other party's behavior style - at least when he said this, he must be talking ironically!I don't know what kind of weird idea is going on!
Sure enough, the next moment that guy did something reckless.
"Then... there will be a period later!!"
Suddenly, the kid named "Kujo Saburo" who could speak a little Kyoto dialect, left such a conclusion, and then decisively threw something in Hijikata's face.
Hijikata was thinking about the true meaning behind this "Kujo Saburo"'s colorful words, but he suddenly attacked him;
Panicked, he tensed up to be attacked by that cunning kid—but he didn’t—and stretched out his free left hand to the top of his head and pulled the thing that covered his eyes.
He held it in his hand and realized that it was still a scarf!
The scarf, which was soaked by the rain and became heavy and wet, happened to be half-unfolded in the air, facing him as a hood.Of course, the scarf was not completely spread out when it was thrown out as usual when it was wet, but it was enough to throw it over his eyes to cover it-in fact, the earth's reaction was already extremely Quickly, it took almost a blink of an eye to take off the scarf; but now, in front of his eyes is a hillside and forest under the rain, and the arrogant and cunning boy just now has disappeared without a trace in front of his eyes trace!
Earth Fang held the scarf tightly with his left hand, and the anger of being provoked wantonly but had no time to fight back spread all the way to the top of his head.If what he held in his left hand was not a scarf, but other fragile items, it would have been broken by now.
"Bastard...! Don't ask me to meet you again next time...! Otherwise—!" Standing on the hillside, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words that seemed to vent his anger word by word. Staring at the deserted forest, he suddenly swung his hand and threw the obstructive scarf in his left hand onto the muddy ground.
