[Lord Gintama] Overlooking the Throne

It was raining heavily that day, and the splashing rain was beating randomly on the glass windows, crisp and monotonous.

She squatted under the eaves of the outer wall of the school. Opposite the school was a residential building. Rainy days always darkened quickly, and the sky was so gloomy that it seemed to overwhelm the entire city. Every household on the opposite side was lit with lights, warm Under the bright lights and bright windows, there are warm silhouettes of intimate couples or a family of three.

"Look there..."

"Little girl? Did she get lost?"

"Is it lost?"

……

Even if the voices of the ghouls were muffled and murmured softly, they were especially clear to them, not to mention they didn't lower their voices.

When it was noisy, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps in front of him.

The rain that came in was cut off suddenly, and she looked up along the trousers covered with mud and puddles, and she saw the handsome face of the purple-haired boy, he pursed his lips slightly, his light purple eyes were full of anger, Then he pulled her up: "I haven't seen you for two years. Where did you go? Do you know how worried your family is about you?"

It was obviously an unprecedented fierce tone, but she felt that her heart was full and warm, as warm as the orange light on the opposite side.

"Yao? Someone you know?" The boy's companion followed up and asked in surprise.

"Well, it's my sister." Shen Gongyao replied without looking back, "Liang, you can go back by yourself today, I have to leave beforehand."

"Sister? Hey, why haven't I heard you mention it before, Haruka." Behind him, Fujino Ryo was still yelling.

Jingu Yao quickly stopped a taxi, stuffed her in, and reported a place name.

Along the way, he kept holding her hand tightly, as if afraid that she would get lost.

"..." She opened her mouth, but for some reason she couldn't call out the title "brother", she touched her throat with her free hand, and after a long while, she murmured, "You guys have moved. "

"Ah." Shen Gongyao responded, "Dad said that the feng shui there is not good, and he didn't want to make mom too sad, so he moved, and the previous house was sold to someone else, but I go there every day, and there are The person who asked the new move-in to bring a message, you have never come back to see it."

"...What did they say...Two years ago..." She controlled the trembling of her voice, lowered her head and asked softly.

You felt that Jingu Haruka suddenly increased the strength of holding her hand, and then slowly let go: "Mom said, you were captured by ghouls."

……

"My parents have a social event today. I'll call them. Would you like something to drink? Xiaoliang."

In the living room with bright and clean windows, there was a warm and orderly display. She sat on the sofa dangling her legs and stared blankly for a while, then she heard Jingu Yao ask.

"No, I don't want to drink it." She remembers that her brother got angry when he saw her stealing coffee, thinking that children should not drink such nerve-boosting drinks.

"Milk, it's a bit cold outside." Looking at her worriedly, Jingu Haruka took out the milk from the cupboard as quickly as possible, heated it in the microwave, poured it into a glass, and took it out. Put it on the coffee table.

"...do you think... should I drink this?" The girl's voice was as soft as velvet, and she spoke intermittently strange words.

"..." Haruka Shengong glanced at her suspiciously, seeing that she didn't look like she was leaving for a while, she calmed down a little, and rubbed the hair on the top of her head, "Drinking milk is good for your health, later Tell me what you want to eat, I dropped my phone in the room, go up and make a call."

"Hmm..." The girl's voice sounded like a cat whimpering.

"Then I'll go up, Xiaoliang." With a gentle smile, Jingu Haruka finished speaking, and ran upstairs holding the handrail of the spiral staircase.

From upstairs came the sound of dialing and talking, which sounded a little unclear.

When he heard the words "Then come back quickly.", Ryo Jingomiya seemed to be stung by a bee suddenly, jumped off the sofa, opened the door and rushed out without looking back.

Upstairs, Haruka Jingu heard the sound of the door opening, hung up the phone in a hurry, and shouted: "Xiao Liang!"

Jingong Ryo, who bumped into someone outside the door, fell to the ground in pain, and an upward palm appeared in his sight: "Ah, I'm sorry I bumped into you, are you okay?"

The familiar voice made the girl's pupils constrict suddenly, and she raised her head in a daze.

The young man in front of him has black hair and black eyes, and a gentle smile on his handsome face: "What's the matter? You are in such a hurry, look, your brother is very worried about you."

"..." It was probably because it was raining outside, she felt so cold, the biting chill burst out from the depths of her heart, and spread to all her limbs, her legs were weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Little Ryo, are you okay?" Haruka Jingu who came out followed, pulled Jingu Ryo over, looked at it, and then smiled lightly at the black-haired boy, "Thank you, do you live in this apartment too? ? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Hi, my name is Kurosawa Natsuki, I just moved here not long ago." The boy lied without changing his expression, "Your sister looks very bad, you should take her in first."

"Well, okay, thank you." Jingu Haruka nodded, and led Jingu Ryo back to the house. This time she didn't struggle anymore, but was just in a daze. Jingu Haruka asked her several questions in a row, but she didn't After saying a word, Haruka Jingu fell silent in the end.

After a while, he looked at the girl sitting on the sofa with her head down, and sighed, "Xiaoliang, what's wrong with home? Why do you always want to leave?"

"Home, it's not bad, it's very gentle, I like it very much." This time, she finally spoke, swallowing the words "it's just not my home", she raised her head, "When will they come back ?”

……

"Haru! Are you okay?"

Dad and Mom rushed back together, and the first words they said when they came back were this question full of tension and concern.

It is indeed a very gentle home, very gentle to my brother.

The girl who was sitting on the sofa watching TV suddenly smiled. A dissection video of ghouls was playing on the TV. It was a scientific research program aimed at helping people understand ghouls.

Followed by father and mother, there were two people carrying white boxes. When mother shouted and wanted to say something, one of the suitcases stopped her and said to Haruka Jingu: "We are friends of your parents. Is that your sister over there?"

"Ah, yes." Staring suspiciously at the box in the man's hand, Jingu Haruka was puzzled, "Why did the CCG people come here?"

"that is because--"

"Passing by for work." The man carrying the white box interrupted his mother again, and he showed a hearty smile, "Don't mention this, young man, can I ask you to go out and buy a pack of cigarettes for me?"

"..." Shen Gongyao was stunned for a moment and did not respond.

"Yeah, Haruka, you go downstairs to do some shopping. Your mother and I are here. That's... your sister can't run away." This was father's advice, Jingong Ryo thought, the word he stopped abruptly , should be "Monster".

"...Okay, Dad." The restless Haruka Jingong reluctantly responded, turned to Ryo Jingong with a smile and said, "Brother will be right back." before leaving.

"Why didn't you tell Haruka, husband!" As soon as Jingu Haruka left, her mother let out a shrill cry, seemingly incomprehensible.

"Avoid unnecessary trouble." Dad's reaction was very cold, "She is that ghoul, everyone in CCG, please."

"Of course." The person carrying the suitcase nodded and walked over, "But we can't be sure, because the child doesn't look scary at all, little sister, I would like to trouble you to come with us, go to the hospital for an appraisal, and we will be able to I know you are a ghoul."

"Then take it away quickly! I saw it with my own eyes, she ate beggars under the bridge! She is definitely a ghoul!" The mother who had always been gentle with her now reacted hysterically.

"..." Jingu Ryo, who had been scratching his throat and tried hard several times, finally called out the title this time, "Mom..."

"Don't call me Mom! You monster!" Mom screamed.

"..." So she fell silent again.

——"You are my most important daughter, Xiaoliang."

- "Monster! Go away!"

The two voices were mixed and intertwined in her mind. She watched her mother pointing at her hand and walked over.

"Quick! Stop her, you guys." Mom yelled at the CCG people frantically, and Dad frowned, "She's really a ghoul."

"Hey, Mom, Dad, have I ever hurt you?" She walked up to the mother who was so scared that she was nestled in Dad's arms, raised her head, looked at them, and asked this matter seriously, "Because I'm a ghoul, so I'm going to die right? The food of the ghouls is humans, just like the food of humans is those pigs, sheep, and beef, isn't it? If I can live on ordinary food, I won't choose What's more, when I ate them, they were already dead, they were all dead bodies, why couldn't I eat them, they wouldn't be conscious, so what did I do wrong, Dad, Mom?"

"Hey, you." The CCG staff changed their expressions and rushed up to grab her.

"Don't make noise!" She opened her mouth coldly with vast anger filling her heart.

The blood fell like rain and drenched on her body. It was warm and exuded a delicious fragrance.

"Ah——" the mother, or the woman, let out a desperate cry, and the man was also terrified, and then pushed the woman in his arms away, trying to rush out, and suddenly appeared on the opposite side, standing behind the girl Looking at the black-haired boy's bottomless black eyes, he knelt down tremblingly.

Will, will be killed!

Never before has he clearly realized what kind of terrifying creatures the group of people in front of him is.

"Xiao, Xiaoliang." With a forced smile on his face, the smiling man said cheerfully, "I'm Dad, Xiaoliang, Dad, Dad was joking with you just now, Dad is love your."

It's just the man's tone of voice, which almost collapsed because of the trembling.

"..."

Kurosawa Natsuki calmly withdrew the black Kazuko, threw the corpses of the two CCG investigators aside, rubbed the hair on the top of Jingu Ryo's head and said, "Look, Ryo, this is what you want Family, it's disgustingly ugly."

The young man's eyes were full of coldness: "But why should they bully you like this? It's better to kill them."

"..." She remained silent for a long time, then smiled, "Okay, I will listen to whatever Xia Shu says."

"Well, what a good boy." Kurosawa Natsuki said softly, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No need, Xia Shu, you leave first, I'll follow right away." Unlike the gentle smile on the girl's face, she spoke cute words in a soft voice, and her beautiful light purple eyes gradually changed. It has become a permeating red and black, but inside it is indifferent.

"..."

Downstairs, Jingu Haruka, who bought cigarettes and alcohol, entered the elevator and pressed the indicator light for the floor.
