Chapter 103 Tangible things will eventually dissipate [1] What you have in this life...
That day did not come suddenly.
Jiang Jiu had vaguely anticipated the arrival of this day.
As early as when the Nine Squares triggered the time and space spell and encountered the giant retrogressive army, the game triggered the final plot chapter of the expansion pack [Man and Sword] - the decisive battle [The Great Invasion] (attack and defense mode).
However, the character [Nine Squares] that enters the final battle belongs to a different expansion pack and cannot be adapted, while the adapted character [Bai Sugawa] is far away.
Fortunately, the system prompts that the minimum conditions have been met and the ultimate plot of [Curse and Love] can be connected.
Hooking up means that players can jump out of the fixed plot of the expansion pack. The game will combine new content based on the selected expansion pack to create a plot that belongs to the player alone.
At that time, due to insufficient exploration and level, the [Black and Red] expansion packs were not connected.
Jiang Jiu later arranged for Ji Teng Si to form a team to rapidly advance space-time research, hoping to improve the level as soon as possible.
The exploration level increased rapidly after the confrontation with Shuichi Akai and the cooperation with the Public Security Bureau through Toru Amuro.
Soon [Black and Red] met the conditions, and the story chapter - [Three Thousand Crows] was linked with the other two expansion packs to create a complex and changeable war environment.
So players break away from the fixed plot and have to face enemies from different power systems at the same time.
The difficulty increased, but Jiang Jiu was fearless.
How to play the Sims game and how to play it is entirely up to Jiang Jiu.
In Jiang Jiu's view, everything that has happened so far is reasonable, natural, and in line with his original character setting.
He plays a role and experiences a life that is completely different from his own.
As someone in the game, try your best, and as an outsider, you can also look at it calmly.
The only time he was defeated was when he saw the system simulate the ending of the plot.
The system deduces that without player control, Bai Qichuan will die of depression due to love.
His Honmaru was completely wiped out, Tsurumaru Kuninaga was missing, and Yakiri Hasebe also rebelled and left. The Fusangjin left by the Shinsengumi lost their lord and lost their will to fight against the endless enemies in the great invasion, and eventually the battle line collapsed.
Jiang Jiu would never accept such a cowardly death! He believed that he could have changed this absurd ending long ago.
During the days when he abandoned the Honmaru and retreated to the real world, Shirasuga struggled, cheered himself up, and fought against the dark emotions that kept bubbling up in his heart.
The basic character that was written when he was born has also been smeared and modified in the process of constant evolution. He is no longer the cowardly, timid and weak human being at the beginning!
He fears death, but he can also use his own death as a bargaining chip to tip the scales in favor of victory in the war.
However, even though the decision was made early on, players only felt the reality after Shirasu Gawa and Gojo Satoru had a face-to-face conversation.
As Shirasu Kawan's will, he disclosed the secret mission of the Time Government to Gojo Satoru, the teacher of the Nine Squares, and the "future" that was strictly forbidden to change became an illusory bubble that would never be fulfilled.
He even personally led the Fusangshen and interfered with the outcome of the Shibuya Incident, strangling all the signs of chaos that Nozomi was trying to stir up!
At that moment, he, who had always suffered from inferiority complex and inadequacy, risked death from exhaustion and finally became a hero who saved the world.
——Even if the price of being a hero is exhaustion of energy and death.
Jiang Jiu couldn't describe Bai Qichuan's complicated feelings, but he was indeed obsessed with it.
It was also from that time that the existence of "Shirasugawa" began to become truly shaky.
The "future" of the present world and the "history" of the government of the time collapsed because of Shirasu's choice. It is only a matter of time before the human bodies of the Shinsengumi and Fusangjin disappear.
Every day before they disappear, the swords that are still able to fight are still running for the survival of mankind. They fight with tears in their eyes and try their best to wipe out the Time Travel Army before they disappear.
Finally, the traces of the marching army disappeared, and the Tsukumogami who still maintained their human form no longer needed to travel outside. They could follow their hearts and accompany the Shinsengumi who loved them.
You can greet the arrival of an ordinary day with your beloved master, with a sad or happy heart.
*
When a bullet piercing the skull killed the most feared killer of the Black Organization, when the criminal group with a large root system that had been rooted for many years was uprooted in the final encirclement and suppression, when the Nine Squares rescued the desperate Furuya Rei from the cold sword of the Odachi Sugiko-gun...
The cherry blossoms bloomed in April.
This is a rare good day.
When Shirasuka woke up in the morning, he felt full of energy for the first time in a long time.
He saw the sunlight shining on the quilt through the gaps in the curtains, and suddenly he had the idea of going out for a walk.
Of course, his legs didn't allow him to "walk around".
Yakiri Hasebe, who had always insisted on staying by his side, was naturally very happy to see Shirasu Kawan so interested.
He immediately pushed the wheelchair out from some corner and said, "My Lord, the cherry blossoms outside are blooming. Let's call others to go enjoy the flowers together!"
Shirasuka smiled.
"Okay, we haven't had any group activities for a while, and everyone needs to relax. Thank you, Hasebe, for arranging this cherry blossom viewing trip."
Hasebe was filled with excitement. "Don't worry, leave it to me! I will definitely reserve the most perfect cherry blossom viewing spot for you, lord! I will definitely make sure you have the most perfect experience!"
He said "the most perfect" twice in a row.
He must accomplish this mission perfectly!
Because, the eyes of the Shinsengumi are so full of trust...
Bai Qichuan laughed.
"Thank you, Hasebe."
He looked at the flax-haired young man with high morale and felt that Hasebe, who always took every word he said seriously, was particularly cute.
His "loyalty" really applies to every aspect of his daily life.
He carries out all the orders, big and small, meticulously. Although he has a serious face and is dressed neatly, he is obsessed with small details such as the angle for viewing the cherry blossoms. He is incredibly serious about it!
Really...
“…”
Shirasu Gawa, who had experienced a heart-breaking love experience, bumped into Yasikiri Hasebe's sparkling eyes.
The young man was stunned.
The curtains had been drawn open by the attentive attendant, and the sunlight was shining directly on the face of the utachisatsusogami, whose brows, kissed by the light, were raised high and in high spirits.
Somehow, Bai Suchuan seemed to realize something, perhaps something that the person involved had never grasped.
He stared blankly at Yasaki Hasebe, opened his mouth unconsciously, but was speechless for a moment.
"What's wrong, lord? Is there anything else you want me to do?" Yasakiri Hasebe put his right hand on his chest and said confidently: "I don't think there is a better sword than me. No matter what your order is, I will do it for you!"
The katana-fusangami began to pull and trample, and Shirasuchuan recovered from his distraction.
Really...
"I'm just sighing, Hasebe, you're really..." Shirasuga paused deliberately, contentedly whetting Hasebe's appetite, and continued speaking mercifully under the Tsukumogami's eager and nervous gaze.
"Hasebe, you are so...reliable. I don't have to worry about anything when you are around, because you can always give me the best results as long as I leave it to you."
Yakiri Hasebe was stunned in disbelief.
"When I first arrived at Honmaru, Hasebe appeared by my side, acting as my right-hand man and taking care of everything for me. I can't imagine life without Hasebe. Thank you for your hard work."
The soft emotion seemed to be conveyed through the sight, and Hasebe Yakiri could not describe it accurately. The warm sunlight made strings of colorful bubbles float in the room, but it was still too dazzling, otherwise why was the face of the Shinsengumi blurred?
"…Excuse me!" Yakiri Hasebe turned his back and burst into tears of excitement which Shirasuwa couldn't see.
I am so happy. At this moment, I just want to die...
The tears of shame were quickly wiped away. The man who cared about his image could not control his tears of excitement and rubbed his eyes angrily until they turned red.
He thought that if he turned his back he wouldn't expose his lack of self-control, but he didn't expect that the extremely happy mood brought about by the cherry blossoms made his excitement visible.
"Hasebe is so excited..." Shirasu was speechless after his hair was covered with flower petals. He didn't expect that Hasebe would react so strongly after just a few compliments.
This really scared him.
"I'm sorry that you saw me lose my composure. It's my greatest honor to share your worries and receive your recognition. In order to live up to your expectations of me, I'll go now... No, I'll just sweep the floor first... I'll be back soon."
The steady man was completely incoherent, trying to run away after saying what he said in an effort to remain calm.
Bai Suchuan: "There's no rush for these."
He called out to the fleeing katana tsukumogami, "I haven't finished yet, Hasebe, don't you want to listen?"
Yakiri Hasebe couldn't even move his legs. His honest body was stiff at the door, waiting expectantly for more compliments to come from the usually reserved Shinsengumi's mouth.
He himself did not realize how intensely his gaze was fixed on his lord; it was so hot that he could not hide any of his feelings!
Why didn’t I discover it before?
Bai Suchuan thought.
Facing the eager gaze, Bai Suchuan opened his arms.
Yasuke Hasebe froze incredulously.
Then he leaned closer tentatively.
Is this what you mean?
Is this what I understand?
Did I misunderstand the Lord's meaning?
After a while, he finally opened his arms and gently embraced Bai Suchuan.
As a close attendant, he often hugged the disabled Shinsengumi. But this hug, both in feeling and meaning, was very different!
Yakiri Hasebe knelt stiffly on the edge of the bed and slowly embraced the warm Shinsengumi.
His head rested lightly on the shoulder of the person in his arms.
The stiff body gradually relaxed in Baisuchuan's gentle embrace.
Shirasuka smelled a strange yet familiar scent in his nose. It was strange because it was the first time he and Yakiri Hasebe had such a simple hug in such a quiet environment. Before this, only Tsurumaru had such a hug.
And it felt familiar because this kind of aura had surrounded him for countless days and nights.
During countless days of extreme pain, a cold, yet reassuring aura always surrounded him.
She patiently comforted the pain-stricken Shinsengumi, forcefully pried open Shirasu's clenched fists in a self-torturing manner, and stubbornly knelt at the head of the bed to protect him as he was on the verge of collapse...
On this ordinary but sunny day, Shirasuwa became unusually frank.
"I'm really, really grateful that Hasebe came to my side."
"It is my honor to be your lord in this life and to have your loyalty."
The uncontrollable sobbing sounds of Fusangshen reached his ears.
The arms wrapped around the body also became extra strong.
After a long time, the man's excited mood calmed down.
Bai Suchuan patted his head buried in his shoulders and loosened his arms.
He gently but firmly pushed away the reluctant Hasebe.
"Okay, let's go and summon everyone to enjoy the cherry blossoms together."
