[Gintama] The Way of Slaying Ghosts

Sakata Gintoki once thought that there was an extremely long future between him and Jiu Tsuji-san, so long that he could create a future with infinite possibilities, and he could wait until he saw the future in which Jiu Tsuji-san was willing to be with him forever.

Seven years ago, when Sakata Gintoki woke up and saw the familiar tent, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. He never thought that Renmi would knock himself out and bring him back, only himself.

The bone-piercing chill spread up all the limbs and bones, Sakata Gintoki couldn't imagine what would happen to them who stayed there and couldn't leave under the attack of the overwhelming number of ghosts, but after seeing Then when Takasugi Shinsuke came to visit him, he still had slight expectations, hoping that they would come back too.

Looking at Sakata Gintoki's unconcealable panic and pleading eyes, Shinsuke Takasugi was silent for a while and then said: "We only found you lying there covered in blood at the entrance of the camp, and there were no other people around..."

The hope he harbored was gradually extinguished in Takasugi Shinsuke's silence, and his heart finally fell down heavily like a huge boulder that couldn't bear the weight when he heard these words.

After saying that, Shinsuke Takasugi went out again silently, leaving space for him, and the darkness and silence returned to the tent again.

Sakata Gintoki only felt something in his chest as if a piece had been dug out, the tiny and bone-eating pain gradually expanded, the pain was so painful that he almost forgot how to breathe, his eye sockets were so dry that they hurt but still no liquid flowed out. Covering his face with his hands, he turned his eyes back to darkness, as if he could escape from something in this way.

After that, he never saw Jiu Tsuji-san again, nor did he see Mimi again.He deluded himself into thinking that maybe they had returned to their own clan.

But I don't know how long later, when I met that boy named Jiu Qi again, there was a bloody ghost under his feet, it only twitched a few times and then fell silent.

"No." Jiu Qi casually retracted the puppet, and the puppet string in his hand faintly shone with a cold silver light, "Neither Tsujisan nor Renmi has blamed Guimen again." The arc of disdain left, leaving Sakata Gintoki who paled for an instant and could hardly hold the sword.

And Sakata Gintoki didn't have more time to recall and grieve. The successive wars took away all his energy and thinking, and his exhaustion came like a torrent of mountains and seas.

He has always known that life is never like a manga, and in the end it has a happy ending, and everyone gathers together happily, but the existence called reality is really... an out-and-out monster.

Like the divination in Oni Hidden Village, he was still forced to bow his head deeply to reality.

"Do you choose to die together or use those hands to live even if you kill the teacher." The Heavenly Daoists behind them pressed their Zen sticks against themselves, and their companions and mentors were tied to the ground. "Teacher or companion, it's up to you aside."

Thinking of what Matsuyo teacher said to himself when he was taken away in front of the private school, Sakata Gintoki silently pulled out a smile that was close to crying, and slowly clenched the knife in his hand. Cut off Teacher Songyang's head with a single blow.

"Thank you." These were the last words Mr. Songyang said to himself.

Their Songyang teacher, even at the end, when he was about to be killed by himself, thanked him with all his tenderness, thanking himself for protecting his students, or even just a little Wishing he could alleviate some of the guilt that nearly overwhelmed him.

The tears finally burst and flowed down his cheeks unstoppably, the place where it flowed was scorching hot as if it was going to burn him to death.

The death of Teacher Matsuyo, the beheading of the Ghost Soldier Team, one reality after another finally overwhelmed Shinsuke Takasugi, the once clear green eyes were gradually stained with thick dark green, and finally covered, the only remaining green eyes Only madness and darkness remain.

Almost as a matter of course, several people finally went in opposite directions, and no one turned back, and no one would turn back.Maybe Shinsuke Takasugi is right, they started in the same place, but the future they are looking at is also different from that time, the future that belongs to Shinsuke Takasugi, when Mr. Shoyo’s head was cut off At that moment, life and death were already destroyed, and then step by step towards the darkness from which there was no turning back.

Sakata Gintoki has been losing those precious things that he must never let go, but he does not give up and picks them up again and again. However, at this moment when he suddenly finds that the treasure he thought he had lost forever has returned again, the joy and gratitude in his heart Come overwhelmingly.

The night was dark, and the bright moonlight filled the street and sprinkled on the two of them. There were no other pedestrians on the quiet street, and the quiet atmosphere gave people a sense of peace of mind.

"Tsuji-san." Sakata Gintoki looked intently at Jiu Tsuji-san's appearance which was the same as in memory.

"Huh?" Jiu Tsuji-san, who didn't know what to say, subconsciously answered blankly, and was immediately hugged.

Holding tightly the stiff body in his arms, Sakata Gintoki buried his head deeply in the socket of Tsuji-san's neck.

He wanted to say a lot, it's great that you're still alive, we finally met again, it was too late to come back... However, he took a deep breath and finally came back to one sentence: "Come back... that's good."

Listening to the almost uncontrollable vibrato, Jiu Tsuji-san silently embraced Sakata Gintoki.If going back to Guiguimen is to finally let go of walking on thin ice for several months, then Sakata Gintoki gave her a kind of warmth that made her almost cry when she saw someone who had been waiting for her return for so many years. Confused, like falling dust, calmed down like never before.

"I'm back." Jiu Tsuji Sanlong opened his mouth for a long time, and then said a belated sentence, "And... sorry." I'm sorry for letting you go back alone at that time, and sorry for coming to see you so late.

but……

Although it's normal to have a long-lost hug after a long time, and it's not too long, but is it too long?

Jiu Tsujisan looked at the fluffy silver head slightly and thought seriously, so after pondering for a while, he said: "Yinshi...can you let go?"

"Huh?" Sakata Gintoki responded in a low voice from his throat, but it seemed as if he was just dealing with it, and then rubbed and rubbed against her neck with that fluffy natural curl.

"I said...you can let go." The cheeks were itchy by the fluffy curly hair, Jiu Tsuji-san twitched the corner of his eyes and said it again.

But Sakata Gintoki groaned and refused to let go.After a moment of silence, Jiu Tsujisan resolutely slapped him on the back of the head and pushed away, seeing the aggrieved red eyes that looked extremely soft under the moonlight, he twitched the corners of his mouth unmoved: "Are you still going to be like a root?" How long have you stuck here like a telegraph pole?"

So Sakata Gintoki joyfully took Jiu Tsuji back to the Mansion House three times.It was quite a pity along the way, the little hands were held and hugged, the atmosphere was just right for kissing the little mouth again, what a pity.

And here Shimura Shinpachi consciously took Kagura back to the dojo, but because he was too curious, he didn't sleep well all night, and then the two of them went to the Wanshiwu early the next morning with a little excitement of gossip.

Shimura Shinpachi looked at the quiet Wanshiwu and pushed his glasses: "It seems that we came too early, Ah Yin hasn't gotten up yet..." Before he finished speaking, a familiar natural roll was thrown from the bedroom Come out, crashing all the way into the living room wall.

Kagura looked at the human-shaped hole on the sliding door of the bedroom, and at the natural roll that was stuck on the wall like pot stickers and then slowly slid down, and pulled Shimura Shinpachi who was stunned beside him: "Shinpachi , Ah Yin was thrown out of Alu."

What the hell did this poor natural curly guy do last night to be thrown out so brutally! ?

Shimura Shinpachi's mind began to swipe the screen frantically, and then swallowed with difficulty: "God, Kagura, there must be something wrong with this matter..." The words stopped abruptly after seeing the disheveled Jiu Tsuji He stopped, and then said decisively, "Actually, this is a dirty natural incident in a dirty adult world."

Jiu Tsujisan naturally also saw the two people at the entrance, he was taken aback for a moment, then went back to get dressed unnaturally.

Because he was very reassured by Sakata Gintoki, he wasn't wary at all. He naturally didn't think there was any problem with sleeping in the bedroom together that the natural scroll mentioned last night. They didn't sleep in the same tent with him at the beginning.

But she never thought that Sakata Yinshi, who was originally on another bed that was not too close, would sleep soundly next to her the next day, hugging herself contentedly, even in an unruly way .

In a daze, feeling as if his body was imprisoned, he opened his eyes, and when he turned his head and saw Sakata Gin who was close at hand, Jiu Tsujisan was really frightened, and instinctively grabbed him and threw him out hard.

It was just some vague feelings and speculations before, but at this point, Tsujisan also understood that this natural scroll must have intentions for her, but even if she knew, since the other party hadn't said anything, she was not going to say anything, after all, she It's still not clear what it's really like to feel about him.

"Is that so." After finally calming down, Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura who were sitting on the sofa also listened to their general relationship, and then asked, "So how long will Tsuji San-san stay here?"

Since he just said that he was just here to see how Sakata Gintoki is doing, he would probably leave.

So the expression on Sakata Gintoki's face became tense: "Tsuji-san..."

Jiu Tsujisan just lowered his head and twirled the teacup: "Brother still doesn't know what's going on." Then Sakata Gintoki didn't speak.

"Although you don't need to come to me again..." The dark passage slowly opened, and an extremely familiar figure walked out of it, "But I didn't intend to let you stay with this natural scroll, Tsuji-san .”

Jiu Tsujisan's eyes widened in astonishment: "Brother!?"

The author has something to say: Thank you for the mine of dried fish!

Speaking of which, the image of my elder brother is somewhat similar to that of Chang Jingsi...
