For Sakunosuke Oda, being stuck in memory feels like one long dream.

All the tones in this dream are bright and bright, as if I chose a sunny afternoon to take a nap, it was warm and comfortable, but it was too bright to sleep.

The world in the dream is absurd and exaggerated, but it is not disturbing, and there is a kind of nonsensical relaxation and comfort.

Airships often fly in the sky, and in the distance there are huge monsters that can park spaceships, and nearby are all ordinary people coming and going, sometimes they are human beings, sometimes they are strange aliens, and sometimes they are kappa.

Row upon row of traditional small wooden buildings, avant-garde to cyberpunk-style mansions are occasionally seen.

Some people insist on using traditional swords, some listen to MP3 with a saber, and some are familiar with all kinds of high-tech weapons with a sense of black technology.

The old inventor, who has a lot of research on robots and artificial intelligence, seems to live in a traditional carpenter.The murderer who was once famous on the battlefield lives in seclusion in Kabukicho and cannot pay the rent.The gardener who loves flowers is as tall as a mountain and has a ferocious appearance like a devil.

This is a mixed and unbalanced world, but it is extremely harmonious here.

This is Edo.

He saw that he was out of tune with everything here, like a ghost who lost its direction, didn't know hunger, didn't know thirst, couldn't even speak, and just walked in a daze.

He walked through cemeteries, river embankments, bustling markets, and cobbled paths under the shade of trees.

He didn't know where he was going or why he was still alive.

Until a pair of wrinkled hands reached out to him and fed a bowl of water into his mouth.

It was an old and skinny woman, her appearance was very mean from any angle, but she still insisted on combing her hair neatly, putting on lipstick, eye shadow, and earrings.

He later called her "Grandma Dengshi" like everyone else.

It is said that Dengshi's mother-in-law was a great beauty when she was young, but this is said to have not been confirmed until he left, and there is only a mean face in memory.

At that time, Granny Dengshi held his hand and took him all the way to Wanshiwu, and then gave orders to the boss of Wanshiwu: "He will be taken care of by you from now on."

"Eh? Why, old woman?"

"Your rent for this month and next month will be waived."

"make a deal!"

He then lived in the master house.

After that, Wanshiwu began to "properly" take care of him.Although this "proper" must be put in quotation marks, he did survive day after day without starving to death or being paralyzed.

A purposeless life is a very boring experience, but the three people in Master House seem to have been living a purposeless life, but they don't feel the same boring.

So he will find it boring, just because he can't figure it out.

Why did fate make him lose his children?Why let him die with his enemies?And why let him wake up in a strange world?

Once, they sat around a table to eat.

"Hey, dumb wooden idiot, if you don't want to eat this bowl of rice, give it to me, Alu!" The girl in red ordered.

"Little Kagura! Don't go too far, he already gave you the bowl of rice in the morning." The boy wearing glasses was very helpless.

"But I'm hungry!" The girl in red lowered her mouth.

Everyone's silver-haired natural curly hair turned around and smiled at him: "Don't you want to grab the rice back? It's very uncomfortable to be hungry."

"No need," he heard himself say.The voice is hoarse and rough, with a very cold and unfamiliar tone.

Maybe that's how he talked when he was a killer many, many years ago?It's just that the past is too long. Although I can recall it, I always feel that it is the story of my previous life.

But maybe it was the last life.

After that, the three people in Wanshiwu became keen to lure him to speak, and made various efforts to make him make more expressions.

It's all boring stuff.For example, put a bucket on the door and ask him to open the door.As a result, he passed with a bucket on the door to maintain a difficult balance, while the instigator who followed behind was drenched in water by his own tricks.

Another example is that he added a lot of wasabi to his noodles, and he ate them all without changing his face, and won admiring applause for this.

Another example is forcibly pulling him to play a game, but of course he didn't move at all. As a result, he lost infinitely and was forced to accept the punishment of the loser, painting patterns like turtles on his face, and smearing flame red There was also a note on her lips.

Of course he wouldn't be moved by such a prank.

He didn't make a fuss at all.

Until Wanshiwu held a symposium to guess his original identity.

"I think it's Alu, a mental patient who slipped out of a mental hospital and went crazy because of the brutal human experiments."

"I think it's a poor wage earner with an unfortunate marriage. His wife and children separated and then he lost his job. That's how it happened."

"Are you talking about that Uncle Madao?"

"No, I remember Mr. Hasegawa doesn't have a son yet... No, it's really rude to talk about other people's family affairs behind their backs!"

"Only you are talking."

"You started it!"

"No, you started it!"

"Okay, okay, is it annoying to argue about this kind of thing? Are you two elementary school students who haven't been weaned yet?" The silver-haired natural curly face picked his nose impatiently.

The boy with glasses began to complain loudly: "How can there be an elementary school student who has not been weaned! If you don't understand elementary school students, don't just slander elementary school students!"

"That's right, elementary school students have been weaned a long time ago, they're just learning to crawl, Alu." The girl in red nodded seriously.

"Little Kagura, please stop talking nonsense! Elementary school students have been hacked enough!"

The silver-haired natural curly booger flew out: "What's the point? Since you are a primary school student, just accept the fate of being hacked obediently. You have to learn to accept all the game discs and comics confiscated by your parents. This is a primary school student. It is a natural thing to experience, and human society can function normally because of it.”

"Don't make this kind of thing seem like a law of nature! And what does it have to do with the functioning of society?"

"Hey, Xin Baji, you're still young, and you'll understand when you become an adult in the future." The silver hair with natural curly hair showed an expression of lovingly looking at a fool.

The boy with glasses was furious: "Don't lie to me with such words! You just want to hear me complain, right?!"

Tucao... By the way, this is Tucao. It is a speech skill that Ango can't teach him, and it is very difficult to learn.

Although he didn't say a word, he was actually listening carefully.

Finally, the silver-haired natural curly hair looked at him and said: "Since you want to know the identity of others, of course you have to ask yourself. Well, hello, let me formally introduce myself. I am Sakata Gintoki, how about you?"

The girl in red and the boy with glasses looked at each other and introduced themselves together.

"I am Kagura."

"I'm Shimura Shinpachi."

"..."

He was silent, until everyone turned their heads in disappointment and went to do their own things, he replied a few beats slowly: "My name is Oda Sakunosuke. I am a loser. I should have died but I don't know why I am still alive." ...You better leave me alone, I have caused you a lot of trouble during this time, I am very sorry, sorry."

He can see the dismal business of Manshiwu, and he knows that he can't pay the rent at all. It is true that Kagura is not full, and he can hear Kagura occasionally. My stomach is growling.

It is really meaningless for such a group of people to live frugally to support him.

He tried to leave the house of everything and go out to fend for himself, but Yinshi stopped him: "You guy is more ignorant than I thought, since you know that you have caused us trouble, do you think an apology is enough?"

"Well, I just wanted to apologize." He admitted with a nod.

"Aren't you going to pay us back by working to earn money?"

"Not going to." He said truthfully.

Then he was kicked to the ground.

After spending many days together, he first realized that Yin was not ordinary.If it was an ordinary person's kick, his instinct alone would be enough to dodge it perfectly.

He lay on the ground and didn't get up, not because he couldn't get up, but because he didn't know any reason to get up.

"Hey! Get up, you bastard, Pengci? Ah Yin, I don't have any money, don't expect me to advance your medical bills!" Although the cursing guy spoke rude words, he The hand that pulled it up was dry and warm.

Kagura and Shimura Shinpachi also showed caring expressions towards him, as if he was very weak.

But it's not like that.He just lost the direction of his existence. Although he tried his best to teach Dazai the skills of self-salvation before he died, he himself is no longer able to redeem himself.

Yinshi squatted in front of him, thoughtful: "Couldn't you be a guy who just left the battlefield, right? You're full of scars, you have fighting skills, but you can't adapt to a peaceful world, so you don't like everything."

Some truth.he thinks.Just close your eyes and you can see the pictures of children dying, bungalows and dance halls, Gide and blood.

If Gide came back from the dead like him, he would be very disappointed, because even in the new world, he would not be able to meet the dead.No matter how you search, it is useless, and he is still the only one left in the end.

He decided to say a few heartfelt words: "I lost my five children, and I succeeded in killing the murderer who killed the children. I broke my vow not to kill again, and I gave up my dream of becoming a family. Life should also end with the end of this matter, you really don't need to worry about me anymore."

The three people in Wanshiwu fell silent because of his words, and he suspected that his tone was too dry.

It is always difficult for him to put his emotions into his words, so that he is very embarrassed at this time, like an indifferent guy who doesn't care about lying.

He thought that no one would believe it, but Yin Shi blinked his dark red eyes, but said this sentence: "It's really sadder than the scraps of vegetables on the lid of the cup noodles."

He suddenly realized that Yin Shi really understood what he meant.
