Maybe it was because he accidentally heard a girl's sincere confession with all her might, although the object was not him, and felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed, Soma's master's eyes suddenly flickered in a panic, and the vigilant and vigilant look on his face suddenly disintegrated.

"Oh, oh," he replied hurriedly, as if in an instant there was some terrible truth from what she had said, and even looked away at her feet.

Liu Quan waited quietly for him to speak, but after waiting for a few seconds, the sharp-eyed young man in front of him did not make a sound.

Liu Quan decided not to wait any longer. She pursed her lips slightly, bringing a vague smile to her face, and asked in a low voice, "So now you can trust me a little bit?"

It's okay not to ask, but asking so frankly and bluntly, Soma's master seems to be even more embarrassed.

"Well," he hesitated, but bowed slightly.

"As I just said, the people who still want to deceive us with lies to deceive our trust probably no longer exist."

He smiled wryly. But the faint smile quickly disappeared from his face.

"We have nothing left to be calculated and stolen by others. ”

His expression and tone regained his composure, as if he couldn't hurt him in the slightest by telling this hurtful fact.

Liu Quan couldn't help but think of the earthwork she knew.

In the wilderness on the outskirts of Yodo Castle at that moment, in the Fushimi Lodge where the artillery was under fire, facing the cunning of the enemy and the betrayal of the friend, facing the sacrificial body of the elder brother Gen-san and the serious wound of his loyal subordinate Yamazaki, the eyes of the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Suizo, were still as hot as fire.

It's faith, it's courage, it's the spiritual qualities that will keep him admired and shiny.

At this moment, she seemed to understand a little.

Even if he had the same loyalty and courage that defied death and intended to pursue morality and faith to the end, even if he eventually became the leader of the Shinsengumi, Soma Boss, he would never be the same person as that person.

In this world, there is no one else in the world who can be like him.

How nice it would be if all this were a dream, then you could meet those unforgettable people again and again in your dreams.

But even though this is a fictional world, what is evolving is the reality of her life, and there will be no second chance to see that person again, to live by his side again, to look up to his glittering face as in the days before, to watch him follow the path of his faith, until he is out of her sight, even if she desperately reaches out to him, but can no longer reach it.

This thought made her feel a little gloomy and sad. In order to hide her short-term gaffe, she quickly raised her eyes to look at Soma, who was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to be a good plan.

"Soma-kun, is there anything I can help with?" she looked at him earnestly.

"What is there that I can do for you now"

Ah, said it, the last sentence.

Although the people she listened to were not the people she knew and missed, the emotions she had and wanted to do her best to fulfill their wishes for them were the same.

What is the way I am now, many, many years after I left the Shinsengumi, and wait a minute, I have to watch the Shinsengumi disappear and what I can do for my fellow Shinsengumi

Master Soma noticed the inconspicuous tremor in her voice. He looked at her in amazement. However, he quickly regained his usual look, nodded, and said, "Thank you." But now, there is no more"

Before he finished his words, Shimada next to him suddenly spoke loudly.

"Please," he seemed to stumble as if he hadn't realized until now that he didn't know the name of the woman in front of him.

Yanagizumi and Soma turned their gazes to him. Yanagizumi hesitated for a moment, smiled, and added understandingly, "My name is Shinoda Kazuo." ”

Soma Master didn't make a sound. Shimada snorted, a happy look.

"Then ask Shinoda-kun to go to Goryokaku and report the situation here to Mr. Hijikata," he said in a rough voice, "Anyway, things can't be better, since the morning we have sent three people to Goryoka and other places to ask for help, but, but"

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his inquiring gaze to the Soma master beside him.

Perhaps because he understood the question mark and disbelief in her eyes, Soma smiled bitterly.

"Ahh He affirmed Shimada's statement.

"So far, no support has been sent. We've been here for days, and if a few more waves of enemy troops come up, it will be very troublesome."

Willow Springs

The look of shock on her face hadn't been completely finished, and Shimada Kui said in a rough and angry voice, "Maybe those who received the news didn't report the news to Mr. Hijikata at all, because, because if Mr. Hijikata knew, he would never ignore everyone in the Shinsengumi, I just knew."

Willow Springs""

She didn't know what to say for a moment. In this fateful day, the fate that Hijikata was about to face a little later rose from the depths of her memory, pressing heavily on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe and listen.

However, what Shimada wanted to say had probably been in his chest for a long time, and he hadn't finished it yet.

He angrily turned to Willow Spring, as if desperate to find some recognition and support from her, and asked, "You must think so, huh?"

Yanagizumi had to smile wryly and nodded, and replied ambiguously, "Ah, indeed, Mr. Hijikata, I won't leave everyone in the Shinsengumi behind no matter what."

For some reason, it was such a bland sentence, but after saying it, it made the tip of her nose sour for no reason.

"Mr. Hijikata, even if you are desperate, you will come to save everyone. She added in a whisper.

Master Soma stared at her in surprise. Shimada nodded vigorously.

"Look, Soma, I'll just say she knows Mr. Hijikata very well," he said in a loud voice, as if he was simply happy because of this.

"Saito, you can't be wrong," he continued to emphasise.

"Since Saito asked her to come, it means that she is a trustworthy person. How about letting her try it, if there is a woman in tears and desperately trying to break in and see Mr. Hijikata, those people may be a little less vigilant, really, at such a time, they still have to rely on Mr. Hijikata without any opinions, and tie Mr. Hijikata in the Gorryoka and not let him come, in that case, why don't you listen to Mr. Hijikata more sooner?"

"Shimada" Soma snorted and cut off Shimada's next words of indignation.

Shimada shut. But then he opened his eyes wide, and with a look full of anticipation and hope, he stared at the willow spring in front of him.

"You're going to bring the message for us, and you're going to have Mr. Hijikata come and support us, right?"

For a moment, Yanagizumi felt that it was difficult for him to answer such a question, and it was difficult to look directly into Shimada's frank eyes full of hope and trust.

What did she say, said I'm sorry, I knew that Mr. Hijikata wouldn't come again, I was sorry, I knew that Mr. Hijikata would die on the road to Bentendaiba, but I still had to watch him die and say I'm sorry, I knew that the Shinsengumi couldn't exist anymore, but I wouldn't do anything for you to preserve history

She finally pressed the back of her stiff neck hard. Once, twice, he nodded slowly.

"Good. I'll go. She replied succinctly.

"I'll definitely see Mr. Hijikata and tell him about the situation here, and tell him that even if there is no other support, everyone is still fighting."

Shimada grinned happily.

However, Master Soma looked at her with a worried look. Perhaps there was a vague suspicion in his eyes, "We didn't know this woman before, so should we trust her based on her words and ask her to take the news of Bentendaiba out and report it to Mr. Hijikata."

Liu Quan saw the content of that doubt. However, she decided to ignore it.

Ah, perhaps, she is also waiting for such an opportunity

Waiting for someone to give her an upright reason to meet that person openly.

Waiting for someone to say to her openly, please go and see Mr. Hijikata.
