Night Rabbit Inquisitor

Sakata Gintoki has never been a person who likes to reminisce about the past.

But he often dreams about the past.

When he was on the battlefield against barbarian patriots, he was called White Yaksha by others.

Like a bloodthirsty Shura, he took the life of the enemy without hesitation.

Before being taken back to the private school by Mr. Songyang, he was called a cannibal by others.

The young man in the sea of ​​corpses struggled to survive by eating the flesh and blood of the dead.

Only when he was with Teacher Songyang, he would look at him with the gentlest smile, pat his head, and call him Yinshi softly.

Gentle teacher, strong teacher, why did you leave them in the first place?

Sakata Gintoki often dreams.

Dreams are often the same content, a scene, repeated and repeated.

In the dream, he held Yizheng Dao in his hand—it was the sword given to him by Master Songyang when he first met, and Master Songyang told him that from now on, he could use that sword to protect himself.

He holds the sword given to him by his teacher. On one side is his mentor kneeling in front of him, and on the other side are Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotaro who are being held hostage, with the enemy's sword on their necks.

Teacher dies, companion lives.

Companion dies, teacher lives.

—he had to choose among them.

Takasugi Shinsuke has never been so excited and collapsed.

He struggled desperately, facing Yinshi and roared in despair: "Yinshi! Stop! Don't do that! You must not do that!"

Takasugi Shinsuke has always been a taciturn boy, except when practicing swordsmanship, he almost never speaks a few words with others.

Such an introverted and indifferent young man with gentleness hidden deep in his heart, but at this moment he lost his composure.

He struggled to break free and rushed forward, but the enemy grabbed the back of his head and pushed him heavily into the ground.

There seemed to be a layer of blood mist in front of his eyes.

Sakata Yinshi stared blankly at the teacher who was close in front of him, and saw his gentle smile with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Just like when we first met, gentle and warm.

【it does not matter. 】

The teacher made a mouth shape slowly, only he could see it.

"Teacher Songyang—"

Takasugi Shinsuke's screams that almost tore his throat resounded in his ears, and he was distraught.

The next second, with the knife in his hand, the dark red blood mist spread, covering every corner he could see.

……teacher.

Songyang... Teacher.

—

When looking at Sakata Yin in front of him, there was a sarcasm in his eyes: "Really? It turns out...that's how it is."

"The thing that scares you the most in your heart is indeed this thing." He smiled: "This is really sad, Gintoki has been huddled in the small Kabukicho for a long time, trying to pretend to be a normal person and live. It's really—"

The sword wind came from behind, Xu pushed Sakata Yinshi away from his hand, his red eyes fixed on Yoshida Shoyang in front of him, and continued: "It's sad."

Songyang was not in a hurry to fight, he supported his disciple, and found that Yinshi's eyes were empty, and he opened his mouth to breathe heavily, like a fish short of water.

"What did you do?" Yoshida Matsuyo pierced him with sharp eyes.

"Heh..." Xu chuckled: "It's just to let him see how pathetic he really is."

"The darkness in your heart will pollute others sooner or later, Shiroyasha." He continued to sigh: "If you can attack your mentor without hesitation, no student in a private school will be able to do this." matter--"

Xu couldn't continue talking.

Because his right arm had already flown into the sky, and the precious Xu's blood splashed all over the ground.

He quickly changed the Zen stick to hold it with his left hand, blocking the knife that was coming towards his neck.

Even though he lost his arm, Xu still had a calm expression, without showing any anger, and looked at the empty arm beside him with a smile on his face.

His pupils moved slightly, he cast his eyes on Yoshida Shoyang, tilted his head, and with a strange joy hidden in his words, he commented: "You are really strong."

Yoshida Shoyo didn't take this as a compliment, he continued to swing the knife mercilessly, and the knife went to the fatal place.

After losing an arm, it takes time to regenerate.

Xu is gradually at a disadvantage, retreating steadily.

Among them, there were many retrograde soldiers who wanted to help him, but they were all solved one by one by Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotaro at the other end, just like cutting watermelon.

"Hey, are you okay?"

In the gap between killing the enemy, the person who can spare time to support him and ask him "are you okay" is actually Shinsuke Takasugi.

Sakata Gintoki stared straight at Takasugi Shinsuke for a while, and when he was completely relieved, he pushed him away with a disgusted tone: "Stay away from me, I'm not in the habit of letting men approach me."

Shinsuke Takasugi, who was so kind to help, said, "...? Gintoki, do you have any illness?"

In an instant, they seemed to have returned to the good time when they were still in the Matsushita Private School more than ten years ago. The atmosphere between the two immediately changed to a very relaxed and happy one. Bar, while cursing the other party to die quickly.

"I said, now is not the time to quarrel! You two!"

Gui Xiaotaro let out a roar that made both of them startled.

After all, it is rare to hear Gui have such an impassioned and righteous voice—except when promoting the benefits of expelling barbarians.

"Ah... the wig is right." Although Katsura Kotaro didn't say anything, Gintoki seemed to hear the call from the latter's heart and realized something: "Mr. Songyang is still in a stalemate with a powerful enemy over there, we can't Let’s continue with the pediatric quarrel, let’s have a temporary truce.”

Listen, it sounds like what a reliable adult male would say.

Shinsuke Takasugi: "... Who do you think provoked it first?"

"Go help Matsuyo-sensei, and fuck that counterfeit." Sakata Gintoki pretended not to hear Takasugi Shinsuke's words, stood upright with a knife in his hand, raised the knife in his hand, and chopped off the one who suddenly flew over and tried to ride his face. .

"Heh, before that, you should pay attention... don't get caught in the same trick as before." Takasugi Shinsuke raised the corner of his lips.

The same was true during the Anti-barbarian War.

They have boldly left their backs to their companions countless times, only facing the enemy in front of them, just because of their trust in each other.

Obviously once were colleagues, companions, and close friends who were so compatible, why did they gradually drift away because of different ideals and beliefs?

[Yinshi, how did you survive in this world where the teacher was taken away without hatred? 】

"Jinsuke, look... can we still go shopping together in the flower street in the future?" Sakata Gintoki coughed, "I mean, just like before."

Gui Xiaotaro put on a ignorant expression of being out of the situation, looked left and right, and asked inexplicably, "...ah? Flower Street? What Flower Street?"

In fact, there is a famous stalk among the people who fought against barbarians back then. Sakata Gintoki and Takasugi Shinsuke met to go to the flower street together in their spare time after fighting. Of course, it was the first time for both of them to go there. It was a very coincidental name. The same girl ended up fighting in the store, and was kicked out by the boss with a butcher's knife, without even touching the girl's hand.

"Of course." Takasugi Shinsuke chuckled.

Sakata Gintoki also smiled in relief.

But Takasugi immediately added another sentence: "Yes, it's okay, not first, you have to settle the maintenance fee of the spaceship first."

"...?"

Sakata Gintoki exploded: "...Go away! I was just joking, who wants to be your brother? I don't know you at all! Hey! Where are the people from the Shinsengumi! I want to report that there is A cosmic-level wanted fugitive!"
