"Hey, don't talk nonsense, Kiyohara!" he exclaimed, and there was a kind of shame in his tone for some reason.

Liu Quan, who keenly captured this, felt even more unhappy. So her smile was a little sweeter.

"Because of the past, it is understandable to hate the words of the deputy chief...... Miss Aqin. "She decided not to dwell on it anymore and hit a straight shot.

After all, one of the skills that Nobuya Yanagizumi, the "Miss Mary Sue of Tennis" who first lived in this game world, is also to use her own strength to hit a straight ball that the opponent can see, but you can't catch at all, isn't it.

"Frankly, if someone dares to treat me like this, maybe I'll just cut them into eight pieces with a knife?"

Ah Qin looked completely stunned. Hijikata's face was blue and white, and when he heard her make such a murderous speech, his facial features wrinkled violently.

“...... However, "Liu Quan changed his words.

"Because of this, it is the most ridiculous thing to deny the brilliant life that the deputy chief has lived after leaving you. It's just because I'm angry that 'I'm better off without the other person.'" I know it's hard to admit this, but without your acknowledgment, what the Shinsengumi have achieved so far is unprecedented. ”

She looked directly at Aqin's face, which was still very gentle and beautiful, and said word by word.

"The deputy chief may be a negative man...... It's not incomprehensible that you beat him up for this. ”

Aqin: ......?!

Hijikata: "...... What the hell are you talking about, Kiyohara!"

It was the first time that the deputy chief spoke to her in such a helpless and weak tone. Probably because she was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

Liu Quan suddenly grinned.

However, you can't deny that he is the light of Tama. Like Mr. Kondo, they are all heroes who came out of Tama...... The son of a pharmacist becomes a bannerman, do you think it's a very simple thing?"

Her smile was still there, but there was already a hint of sternness in her voice.

"You don't see many sleepless nights in the deputy chief's room lit up in the deputy chief's room...... You also don't see the scene where the deputy chief is fighting alone in the face of hundreds of people in order to be loyal to the general and to uphold the justice he believes in his heart...... Even for the sake of defending his comrades, he desperately tried to go to the rescue, and he did not hesitate to give up his life and become a monster -- you have never seen that kind of feeling! Please don't just say that such a person is a bad person because of this! Because you don't know what a real bad person is at all! You don't know what a real Mr. Hijikata is!

Under this overwhelming momentum, Ah Qin suddenly took two steps back and slammed into Hijikata's body with a thud.

Hijikata subconsciously reached out and helped Ah Qin's shoulder to help her stand firmly, before withdrawing his hand and walking in front of Liu Quan, bypassing Ah Qin.

"Say no more. He stopped in front of Liu Quan, his eyebrows slightly flattened, and his eyes looking at her were soft.

"I didn't know she was in the courtyard too, otherwise I would have gone somewhere else. He whispered, as if remembering something, and smiled wryly.

"Anyway...... It was true that I rejected the blind date back then, and if you resent me because of this, I have nothing to say. ”

Willow Springs: ...... Hey, are you explaining it to me in some way, Deputy Chief?

Before she could understand the meaning behind Hijikata's words, she heard Ah Qin's voice.

"You...... Who the hell are you?!"

Perhaps intimidated by Liu Quan's soaring momentum just now, her voice trembled slightly. At this moment, she probably saw the scene of Hijikata talking to Liu Quan, and there was a hint of incredible injury in her voice.

Ryuzumi smiled as he looked back at the opponent who seemed to have been knocked out by his own words.

Immediately, his face was solemn, and he said seriously: "The acting leader of the Ichiban Group of the Shinsengumi, Kiyohara Yukiba, participate!"

Hijikata had a sneering expression. “...... What do you mean by 'participation?!' This is not a battle ......."

Liu Quan glanced at him quickly, and suddenly smiled slyly.

"No, it's a match. Mr. Hijikata is too stupid. ”

Ah Qin gasped and suddenly let out a shrill laugh.

"Hehehe...... I can figure it out. ”

Hijikata and Yanagizumi looked at her together, both of them looking surprised.

"Do you like this kind of monster that is neither male nor female? Ah Qin raised her chin slightly and stared at Liu Quan with a staring expression.

Although the entire Shinsengumi had changed into Western clothes at the deputy chief's behest before leaving the battle, Yanagizumi was of course still dressed as a man - after countless times that straw sandals had hindered her mobility or had stumbled on the soles of her feet, she had to say that she was happy to put back on Western-style boots.

...... However, compared to Aqin, who wears a women's kimono and fully reveals the slender curves of women, she is undoubtedly still a female man. Especially after just made such murderous statements as "cut into eight paragraphs".

For Ah Qin's miraculous stroke, Hijikata couldn't help but be silent for a moment, as if he had no words to answer at all, and he showed an expression of "What the hell is this person talking about, I don't know what he means at all!".

"You Shinsengumi even accept women, didn't you say you want to be a samurai, so do you still allow a woman to mix in? Ah Qin continued to ask sharply.

Earthwork: "......"

“...... Then I don't have anything to say. Ah Qin sneered, as if she really didn't look down on Liu Quan's man's dress, and glanced at her with contempt.

"Because I can't do anything strange like her, dressed up like this and mingling in the middle of a bunch of men, doing strange things—"

"Hey!" Hijikata suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Aqin with a slight hint of roughness.

“...... Enough is enough. He then lowered his voice again, and calmly stared at the woman he had almost married.

"You resent me, I have nothing to say. However, don't talk about people casually. Since you don't know what prompted her to get to where she is today, you don't have the right to speak ill of other people's choices. He said sternly.

“...... It doesn't matter if she's a woman or not, how she's dressed...... They are all important companions of the Shinsengumi. After a pause, he said.

Liu Quan: ?!

Aqin: !!

"I'm sorry for the previous thing. The deputy chief finally said.

"I'm also sorry for the hurt I caused you. I wish you happiness in the future. ”

Ah Qin looked at Hijikata's face in a daze.

After a while, she suddenly lowered her head, let out a sob, covered her face and quickly turned around and ran away.

Willow Springs: ...... It's a bit cool to tear up your rival, but when you think that this is the deputy chief's black history, you feel less cool, ......?

Hijikata stood beside her, looking at the direction in which Aqin had run away, and was silent for a long time.

As a Su Shuang and vicious cannon fodder female supporting role, it is really appropriate to brush up on some vicious lines at this time, right?

Liu Quan: "...... With a reluctant expression, Deputy Chief. ”

Hijikata turned his face to her, his expression stammering, as if embarrassed.

"Don't-don't talk nonsense!!I'm just...... I just remembered what happened in Tama in the past!"

Liu Quan: "Ah, blind date?"

Hijikata rages. “...... It has nothing to do with her! Why do you always say such angry things...... Didn't you just say it well......"

Liu Quan: Huh?! I think I've heard something terrible?!

Accidentally saying something similar to the voice of the heart, Hijikata seemed even more embarrassed and irritable.

"Don't ...... I just thought that when I used to sell medicine with a medicine box on my back, I would never have imagined that I would become a samurai like I do today, and I would go to battle with a sword in my hand and fight to the death for loyalty......" he said as if he was annoyed, glaring at her angrily - so he didn't look in the direction where Aqin had left.

Liu Quan burst out laughing.

"So, I'm a little sorry, Deputy Chief. The other party is really a big beauty. She said in a cramped voice.

It's rare for a deputy chief to show his weakness and let you play tricks, if you don't take this opportunity to stomp on the deputy chief, will you still be considered an excellent member of the Ichiban group?

Earthwork: "......"

The deputy commander was completely knocked out.

Liu Quan sneered, the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't help but laugh all the time, feeling that he had finally overpowered the deputy chief, what a long time to see (?)!

Hijikata glared at her, watching her smile and become happier and happier, and for some reason her raised eyebrows slowly flattened, and finally sighed.

"Speak as if you hadn't pretended to be a snowman yourself......" he muttered angrily.

Liu Quan's ears swooped up.

Is the deputy chief going around in circles praising her for being a great beauty?

“...... It turned out that that night, the deputy chief had a good look at my appearance. She smiled and said, "I thought the night was too dark, and the deputy chief was so busy angry with me that you didn't even notice what I was pretending to be." ”

Sure enough, the earthwork blew up again.

“...... You guy, you keep saying that you're here to make such a shocking statement, you're going to scare people to death, okay! It's impossible not to notice a guy who can make such a statement!"

Liu Quan was slightly stunned, and then let out a crisp laugh.

Hijikata was annoyed by her laughter.

"How long are you going to laugh ...... this guy?"

"I see, that's right. Willow Quan stopped laughing abruptly, and turned his face to look at the earth, his bright eyes still beating with pleasure.

"In that case, I'll forgive Mr. Hijikata for mercilessly leaving me alone in Shimabara that night. ”

There was a look of surprise on Hijikata's face. After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath in exasperation.

"If that's the case, I'm not going to apologize. ”

The deputy chief said abruptly.

Liu Quan looked at the deputy chief who suddenly became unusually stern in surprise.

"Because you're a team member I trust, I've already said it from the moment we decided to allow you to stay in the Shinsengumi, and we'll treat you as we always do with what we ask of the Shinsengumi. You won't get any preferential treatment. There must also be no hesitation or back-off when performing the task. ”

The deputy chief said sternly.

"It is precisely because of this principle that I decided that day that I decided to leave you alone to spy on those unscrupulous wanderers. Chizuru isn't a member of the Shinsengumi, but you are. There will be no one else who can carry out that task but you—"

Liu Quan suddenly chuckled softly.

"I see, Deputy Chief. ”

Under the bright moonlight, she looked up slightly at the deputy head of the Shinsengumi. The moonlight reflected on her young and beautiful face.

"Please say to me, 'I believe in you,' so that I can follow the orders of the deputy commander and fight to the death, as I did before. ”

Hijikata's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

After a moment, he suddenly tilted his face to the side.

"That kind of thing...... I've already said that!" he said in an unnatural tone, "a woman don't talk about death and death all day long! You have to live for me even if you don't want to live! If you always let your important companions die casually, then what has become of us Shinsengumi!"

Liu Quan was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe his ears.

At this moment, she finally understood the meaning of the name of the main quest released by the system bacteria.

To die and live...... Is it.

It's about living with the determination to die.

The unhappiness of being swept up in the Shura field has all disappeared. Liu Quan bent his eyes.

"Yes, I see, Mr. Hijikata. ”
