[Gintama] The Story of Me and Curly Yaksha

My Story with Curly Yaksha 8

A few days later, Sakamoto Tatsuma's team quickly completed their purchases and began their journey home.Hayasaka Ori is keeping accounts beside him, and his work efficiency is very high.

"With Oori here, I just need to use my words." Sakamoto Tatsuma patted Hayasaka Ori's shoulder with a smile.

Hayasaka Ori handed over the calculated account book. "I don't know how to fight, so leave it to me to do such small things."

I thought that there would be no chance of fighting in the logistics this time, but this time it seemed to be very unlucky, and I encountered a sudden attack on the way back.

This is Hayasaka Ori's first fight. After all, he has only learned swordsmanship for a few months, and his physical fitness is not good.Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, the real war is more dangerous and cruel than imagined.

"Azhi! Don't charge too far!" Sakamoto Tatsuma shouted.Hayasaka Ori didn't try to be brave, and silently stepped back a little.

However, Hayasaka Ori, who retreated a little to the back, was not idle either. In order to be worthy of protecting her companions, she felt that she had to do something.

She bent down, glanced at the enemy's corpse under her feet, quickly searched the corpse's belongings, then stood up, holding the gun tightly, facing the enemy in front.

Under the command of Sakamoto Tatsuma, the team tactically retreated to the woods behind, using terrain to conceal their whereabouts, and the enemy's tracking slowed down a lot.Hayasaka Ori walked up to Sakamoto Tatsuma with a knife, Sakamoto Tatsuma asked her: "Did you find anything?"

"Those people are the local army. Although they pretend to be thieves, their accents and well-trained fighting methods can't hide it." Hayasaka Ori frowned slightly, "Our whereabouts have been exposed."

"Probably they were targeted in the small town where we purchased. They didn't want to cooperate with us at first, but just wanted to lure us over."

"No wonder you have to have an interview with me, alas." Sakamoto Tatsuma still had that relaxed smile. "Now I have to kill it."

"That's right." That's what war is like. Even Hayasaka Ori can understand this. Every decision is like a gamble. In the end, if you want to survive, you still have to rely on your own strength.As long as you have the strength, you can win even in the worst situation.

In the end, relying on the terrain of the forest and guerrilla tactics, they successfully defeated the opponent. Because they were afraid of being pursued, they temporarily changed their return route.

Hayasaka Ori was also injured a little this time, but she didn't feel much pain, so even if the bandage was stained red, she still looked like a normal person.In the army, there are many recruits like her who were assigned to the logistics. After this battle, they experienced the feeling of killing for the first time. Some of them vomited. This was the fear of death itself, and their faces were pale.But Hayasaka Ori didn't respond. She just lowered her head and was thinking about something, and she was very quiet along the way.

Her empathy for others is as weak as her sense of pain.

"A Zhi, you are bleeding, please bandage it again." Sakamoto Tatsuma said to her.

"Ah, okay. Thank you for your concern." Ori Hayasaka thanked earnestly, then took out a bandage from his pocket with a bit of hesitation, and bandaged himself awkwardly.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering why the other party betrayed us." Hayasaka Orihime slowly bandaged and said, "The only ones who can be our allies who fight against barbarians are some vassal forces, except for a small number of heavenly beings. He Fan has been cooperating very well with us, there must be some reason for his sudden betrayal."

"If the obstacles are not cleared earlier, the rest of the vassals that cooperate with us are likely to continue to betray us, and we will be besieged on all sides at that time."

"Do you have any clues about this matter?" She looked at Sakamoto Tatsuma and asked, after she finished asking, she found that she had actually joined not long ago, and it was inappropriate to ask these questions.Immediately apologized, "Sorry, a little overstepped. You don't need to tell me."

"Ah, don't say that, Ah Yin said you are always nervous, it is true."

"Gin?" Hayasaka Ori was a little surprised.

"Yes, he said you are too weak, let me take care of you."

"..." Because I am too weak, it is not a good experience to be taken special care of by others, Hayasaka Ori said: "I am not someone worthy of others' attention, I am just a very ineffective soldier."

"Don't talk about yourself like that. Fighting doesn't mean you can become stronger immediately in a day or two." Sakamoto Tatsuma suggested, "Why don't you do this, let you find out about this matter."

"Me?!" Hayasaka Ori's almond eyes widened in surprise.

"Yeah, since I think you have a lot of ideas, I'll let you take charge of it. After all, according to the plan, we will go out soon, and we can't control these. How? Can I ask you?"

Hayasaka Ori was stunned for two seconds, and a burst of excitement rose in her heart. This was the first time she was asked to do something, and in her opinion, it was an expression of trust.The tone couldn't help but become happy and firm, "I see, please leave it to me."

-

After returning, he started to go on an expedition. Obviously, Hayasaka Ori could not go to the front line, otherwise it would be equivalent to death.Zhiyi himself was not idle, and began to silently investigate the people in the army.

Regarding the fact that they were betrayed by the Kaga clan, Hayasaka Ori always felt that the matter was not simple, and that their whereabouts were so easily exposed, it was likely that there were ghosts in the army.So she started from the inside, checked the list, selected a few more suspicious objects and observed them one by one, and finally delineated the most likely target.

And the next step is to set up traps and lure the other party to the bait.

On this day, Hayasaka Ori had dinner with other companions, and then said that he wanted to go into the woods.Someone asked strangely: "A Zhi, you always like to run to the woods recently."

"Well, I heard that there are strange alien creatures appearing in the woods, and I want to go and see them." Hayasaka Ori explained casually.

"You really like alien creatures. Don't get hurt, we're going out tomorrow." The companion didn't worry about her, after all, Hayasaka Ori was an expert in alien creatures.

"Well, I see, I'll be back in two hours."

Hayasaka Ori was walking around in the dark woods with a gun in his hand, looking very casual, but his hand was always on the handle of the gun to be on guard.

Suddenly, she heard movement behind her. The speed of the opponent was quite fast. If she wanted to hide, she would definitely be unable to dodge. All she could do was squat down.

At the moment she squatted down, a gun was flying past her head.

It's a close call, and if you slow down, a piece of your scalp will have to be shaved off.

Hayasaka Ori took a few steps back again and again, "I finally took the bait, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Standing on the lawn not far behind her was a man with mediocre features and wearing an ordinary military uniform. His name was Tamura. He was originally the most inconspicuous person in the army, from appearance to skill to personality.But at this time, he has a skill that does not match him, his eyes are very fierce but full of hostility, no matter how you look at it, he is a ruthless character.

He looked at Hayasaka Ori with murderous eyes, but even though he was only one step away from Hayasaka Ori, and he knew that Hayasaka Ori couldn't beat him, he couldn't move forward either.The soles of my feet were stuck with sticky superglue, and I couldn't move forward even a single step.A large piece of grass on the ground was covered with transparent glue, and now it is completely invisible at night. His feet were stuck to the glue, so he could only throw the knife in his hand, and his reaction was also seen through by Hayasaka Ori. So dodge it.

"This is the slime I collected from the alien octopus last time. The stickiness is not comparable to that of ordinary glue. Unless it is diluted with other substances, you will have to cut it off." Ori Hayasaka crossed her arms, and she said I have made all the preparations, because I know very well that I will definitely not be able to beat it, so I set the trap in advance.

Of course, the assassin Tamura couldn't have guessed that Hayasaka Ori would use such a childish trick, a trick that a child would only think of when he was catching a unicorn fairy in the forest.And I was really caught by such a simple flypaper like a fly, which is really annoying.

For the past few days, Hayasaka Zhiyi has been running to the woods, obviously not to find some alien creatures, but a trap for her to catch the inner ghost.

Investigating undercover agents is a very complicated job. Basically, if one person does it, it is easy to be discovered by the other party, or it will be obliterated instead.Hayasaka Weaving had no one to cover her, so she knew she would be discovered by the other party, so she decided to use her tricks. She deliberately ran into the woods alone, luring the other party to come up, and took advantage of the opportunity to catch the other party.

"Who sent you?" Hayasaka Ori asked, and as she asked, she took out her butt and tied it to the bamboo she had prepared next to her, making something like a spear.Then he poked the opponent with this spear analog from a distance.Because she spread a large piece of glue and mucus here, she couldn't get through, so she could only threaten the other party from a distance like this.

Even with the knife on his neck, Tamura still didn't say a word. His demeanor was far from usual, but his reticence was the same.Hayasaka Ori looked him up and down, and had been observing him for a while. Although he concealed his combat power, some habits could not be changed.

Some of his habits are a bit like ninjas, but his fighting movements are quite different.In the past, the lord of the Chuanshu Domain recruited many excellent ninja warriors as their bodyguards. Hayasaka Ori has also seen their battles, so he knows better.

"Don't tell me?" She raised her eyebrows, "Just in case, let me cripple one of your arms first."

As she spoke, she stabbed at the right hand tendon of the other party without hesitation. There was no evil in her eyes, and she was still very thorough, as if she didn't feel how cruel what she had done was at all.

"Ah!" the assassin Tamura yelled restrainedly, but still suppressed the pain, and still didn't say a word, looking at Ori Hayasaka even more viciously.

Hayasaka Ori turned a blind eye, she looked towards the direction of the ground, just now she slashed the knife too hard, accidentally scratched the opponent's clothes, and a wooden sign fell off.

"This is?" She picked up the wooden sign and held it in her hand. There was no writing on it, only a totem that looked like a bird or a spider.

Most people don't recognize this sign even if they see it, because it is a secret of the shogunate.But I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune. What Tamura met was the princess of the feudal land. She took a look and recognized it. She opened her eyes slightly in surprise, "Tianzhaoyuan?"

"Are you the assassin of Tianzhaoyuan?"

Hearing these words, Tamura's eyes were visibly shaken, and he secretly paused from the hidden weapon behind him.

In the next second, the hidden weapon in Tamura's hand flew out, Hayasaka Ori was breathless, and quickly dodged. It's a pity that he was not so lucky this time. The shuriken hit the chest, but luckily it didn't hit the heart .

Blood spewed out, and the amount of bleeding was huge. This was the first time that Hayasaka Ori had suffered such a serious injury. Even though she was not sensitive to pain, she felt the pain of life passing away. With the passing of blood, she only felt her body gradually losing weight. temperature.

"You're really dishonest." I thought it was an ordinary assassin, hired by a celestial being, or hired by a noble from the vassal, so I just crippled a hand, but I didn't expect it to be the assassination team, which is not to be taken lightly. look.

So Hayasaka Ori disregarded his own wounds, and simply disabled his other hand's hamstring and one leg's hamstring, and the other party could only half-kneel on the ground at once.

Hayasaka Ori looked at him condescendingly, he looked like a devil regardless of his body bleeding, she knew that it would be difficult for this man to torture him, so she could only carefully observe the expression of the man in front of her, trying to see what questions he had What a reaction.

"Why did the assassination troops of the shogunate follow the anti-barbarian troops? The mission of Tianzhaoyuan is basically assassination. Unless they are nobles, no one is worth your time to monitor. What order did your leader give you? Why? Instead of killing us directly, you want to send someone to silently disrupt the deployment of the anti-barbarian troops? Is it because of some reason that they are restricted and cannot directly attack us?"

The reason Hayasaka Zhiyi knew about Amaterasu was because it was an assassination force of the shogunate, mainly used to monitor nobles and assassinate obedient important ministers and threatening forces.That is the threat of the nobles, so the nobles also have some understanding of this, but only a little bit.

After the invasion of heaven and man, it is said that it was taken over by an organization called Tiandaozhong, and they almost only shot against big shots.

"It's like a cat playing with the little mouse it caught. Although it is an extremely powerful anti-barbarian army, it is nothing more than a civilian force. The shogunate and heaven should not pay attention to it. Why do you do this? Go to such lengths to do such a thing?"

Hayasaka Zhiyi asked himself and was also thinking silently, what is the difference between this anti-barbarian army known as the Four Fighters of Barbarians and other anti-barbarian troops?

——"We just want to get back our important teacher."

When thinking about this question, what Sakata Gintoki said came to her mind.Like a thunderbolt flashing through her brain, she who had been calm just now opened her eyes wide in surprise by her conjecture, and she murmured out a name, "...Yoshida Shoyang?"

After hearing this name, Tamura's body became visibly tense, his eyes showed disbelief, he couldn't imagine how the person in front of him could have such an accurate insight into the answer.

Seeing the reaction in the opponent's eyes clearly, Hayasaka Ori was even more surprised, "Because Yin and the others are related to Yoshida Shoyo, so you didn't directly destroy them?"

Tamura trembled all over, "Don't tell me?" Hayasaka Ori sighed, his eyes returned from surprise to calm, "It's okay, we will catch you later, and I will try my best to torture you."

It is the scariest thing to say such words without some maliciousness in their eyes.

Tamura lost both his hands and one of his legs, so he had nowhere to escape.The woman in front of me has such terrible insight that it is absolutely unforgivable for a so-called assassin to fall into the hands of others.

He dragged his limp hands into his pocket with difficulty, found something, and it fell to the ground.In the next second, the fire spread across his body, and he struggled in extreme pain. The fire spread over his whole body, dyeing his whole body into scorched black.

"...Damn it." Ori Hayasaka was stunned for a second, then frowned. He didn't expect the assassins of Tianzhaoyuan to be so ruthless that they could commit suicide for the sake of secrecy.In this way, not to mention torture, even a trace of information that cannot be obtained from the corpse.

Things have come to this, and Hayasaka Ori has nothing to do.She looked at the wooden sign in her hand and thought with some heavy heart.

To Gintoki and the others, they are gentle teachers, to the shogunate they are thinkers who must eradicate barbarians, and to Amaterasu Institute they are the object of great concern.

"Yoshida Matsuyo, who are you?"
