Green apple

Bid farewell to Yueyong and Rilun, Qingguo walked step by step towards the house where he was resting just now. On the way, he passed a dessert shop. Feeling a bit hungry, Qingguo turned around and walked in.

"Hey big sister, please give me three-point three-color balls~~~"

Qingguo casually yelled, picked an empty seat and sat down, but didn't want to run into a familiar person when he looked up.

"Yo~~~ There are already people here, Dana~~~"

As if the silver-haired samurai didn't hear Qing Guo's words, he turned around and sat on the empty seat opposite Qing Guo.

Two samurai-like men sat on the simple seats outside the store.While waiting for Wanzi, Qingguo glanced out, and the figure outside the door immediately overlapped with the figures of the two Yoshihara guards in his brain.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen it at all recently. What happened to that dirty kid?"

Outside the shop, a gray-clothed warrior curiously asked his companions for the latest gossip.Qingguo, who was sitting in the store, narrowed his eyes after hearing the words "dirty little devil".

"Are you referring to Qingta?" While the other party was speaking, the three-color balls ordered by Qingguo were also served.

"Sorry, can you give me three red bean balls?" Qing Guo, who received the food, ordered again to the clerk next to him.

"Oh, he seems to have found a formal job recently." The gray warrior's companion said as if recalling something.

"Hey?! Is there any place willing to hire that brat?!"

"There are people who like to be troubled."

Qingguo picked up the three-color ball and took a bite, silently sizing up the man who seemed to be troubled opposite.

The man who realized that he was being watched calmly glanced at the opposite girl who was covering her face tightly, then calmly picked up the meatball on the plate and took a bite.

"Ah, my meatball." Qing Guo, who was distracted for a moment, looked at the food in the man's hand that originally belonged to him.

While distracted, the conversation between the two men outside the door suddenly became louder, and the red bean balls ordered by Qingguo inside the room just happened to be served.The man sitting across from Qingguo still took a ball from Qingguo's plate on his own, then walked out of the store and sat behind the two men.

Sakata Gintoki picked up the ball and took two consecutive bites.

"Call me next time Haruta comes again."

"Oh, I shouldn't have told you."

"Hahaha……"

While chatting and laughing, Yinshi, who was sitting behind them, swallowed the last bite of the meatballs. Qingguo sat in the store with a blank expression and looked at the man who put away the wooden knife outside the door and was flipping through someone's wallet and kept asking how much it was, silently. He swallowed the last pill in his hand.

The woman who was suspected to be the proprietress in the store walked out after hearing the movement.Then he generously told the man squatting on the ground flipping through other people's wallets that he didn't have to pay for the meal.

Sitting on the side, Qingguo silently gestured her middle fingers to the two outside the door.

——Nonsense, of course you don’t have to pay for the meal, okay?That man ate her from the beginning to the end, okay? !

Riding on the man and the proprietress... no, when they were fighting with Baihua's woman, Qing Guo wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth and walked out calmly.

——She didn't see the injustice on the road...

——But it’s okay to make a little stumbling block~~~

When Qingguo spotted the silver-haired man doing a backflip and landed firmly on the ground, he suddenly let go of his voice and shouted.

"There are suspicious people, there are suspicious people!!!"

Sakata Yinshi, who was standing in the middle of the street, ran away in panic after hearing the voice, while Qing Guo hid in a small alley and gloated at the man fleeing in panic.

——Let you, a dead fish eye, grab my food! ! !

Qing Guo came out from the corner and clapped her hands, then turned around and continued walking forward.

…………

Qingguo turned her head expressionlessly, and returned in the same direction as she had just come.

——Stupid hairy or something... Can't see, can't see, can't see, can't see! ! !

Kamui pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and grabbed the collar of the girl in front of him who was obviously trying to get away, and then gently dragged her back.

"Oh~~~ Little Aguo doesn't want to see me?"

The more mature voice than in memory made Qingguo stop the self-suggestion in his heart, and turned his back to the young man behind him, Qingguo suddenly felt a dullness in his chest.

Confused, lonely, lonely...

Sad, scared, unwilling...

Excited, happy, involuntarily...

It seemed that in an instant, the box that had been stored in the corner for a long time was suddenly opened.All the emotions accumulated in the bottom of my heart rushed to my heart at once.

Qingguo turned her back to Shenwei, allowing the latter to stand on the street by the collar of her clothes.

The long bangs that hadn't been repaired in time covered Qingguo's eyes at the moment.Afutu and Yunye, who were following behind Shenwei, jumped onto the opposite roof when the two young men were silent.

Just when Baihua, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but want to make a move, Qingguo remained the same as before and opened her mouth tentatively.

"God... might...?!"

The setting of sleeping for seven years made Qingguo's heart silent, and cast a layer of distrust on everything around her.Qing Guo couldn't tell what kind of mentality she was in at the moment for this very familiar but now unfamiliar young man behind her.

Qingguo's voice was very low, almost inaudible through the mask.Among the noisy crowd coming and going on the street, Shenwei let go of the other person's clothes without changing his expression.

"It's me~~~"

"Puff-"

A strong heartbeat sounded in Qingguo's chest, it seemed that from the moment when the ghost soldiers woke up on the boat, Qingguo felt the proof that he was still alive for the first time.

Step by step……

Qingguo lowered her head and turned around without seeing her expression clearly.Then, under the surprised eyes of all the onlookers, he stretched out his arms and hugged the boy in black opposite him tightly.

"Shenwei..."

So sad, so happy...

Putting down all vigilance on her body, Qing Guo lay in Shenwei's arms, clutching the opponent's clothes tightly with both hands and not letting go.

The girl's cries of relief caused Kamui to put his palm on the girl's shoulder instead of resting on the girl's shoulder, and the other hand patted the girl's back clumsily under the gaze of Afu Rabbit on the opposite roof. back.

Although it was somewhat reluctant, Qing Guo, who was buried in the boy's arms, could clearly feel the awkward and cautious strength of the other party.

"I'm so scared..."

While smoothing the girl's hair, Kamui vaguely heard a small voice coming from his arms.

"It's scary not to see Shenwei before the consciousness is blurred. I know I'm not normal but I can't wake up. It's scary. I finally broke free from the nightmare, but I was told that I have no memory. Seven years later, it's scary. In front of me, I dare not go to find you. I feel so scared, thinking that I can only stay in Yoshihara for the rest of my life, really... really makes me feel so scared!!!”

The girl lying in her arms gradually tended to talk more and more, and Shenwei, who was watching, frowned impatiently.Then, under Afutu's surprised eyes, Shenwei calmly raised his hand and completed the action he should have completed long ago.

The familiar dull pain from the neck made Qingguo close her eyes in relief.Kamui bent down to pick up the girl who was limp in his arms, and then walked forward ignoring the surrounding discussions.

In the alley not far away, the young Qingta, who was still in the fantasy of meeting his mother, blinked suspiciously.

"What's the matter, what's the commotion?"

He casually found a tavern to settle the sleeping Qingguo, and Shenwei sat on the side and began to wrap a bandage around his head under Afutu's hesitant eyes.

"Arnuo..." Yunye, who was sitting beside Afutu, said hesitantly.

"As for the captain, if those guys above find out, it will be very troublesome."

"That's true. After all, the Iori dog's contract is there, and the people on the elder's side will definitely not let it go."

Afutu stroked his chin and analyzed the situation in front of him. "Then, after finally finding the leader of Qingmei Sang, what do you want to do?"

Kamui twitched the dull hair on his head.

"Of course I followed the instructions above and killed her~~~"

"Hey, wait a minute!" Afutu looked at Shenwei in surprise. "Captain, are you kidding me?!"

"Hey, Afutu." Kamui, avoiding the question, raised his own umbrella that was placed aside. "Chun Yu, I don't object to the cadres taking women back."

Afutu, who instantly understood the thoughts of his team leader, nodded immediately. "No one would dare to say anything about the head's wife."

Yun Ye, who was sitting on the side and couldn't keep up with his thoughts: "...so fast, Afutu, your name changed so quickly!"
