[Gintama] Sugar piled up into N mountains

The sky, which had been clear just now, had now become cloudy.

On the streets of Kabukicho, where people come and go, Zaizen Mai runs forward like crazy.Wearing a short kimono, there are obvious scars on the arms and sides.Accidentally staggered and almost fell to the ground, stood up straight and continued to run forward without hesitation—because there was no room for hesitation.

A few hours ago, in the gambling building of Peacock Ji Huatuo, Caiqian Mai looked at the woman sitting on the gorgeous red noble chair, while fanning the fan made of peacock feathers in her hand, she stayed contemptuously. With a smile, he said to Cai Qianmai: "Two days ago, when we had a meeting of the Four Heavenly Kings, we formulated a system-if any of our Four Heavenly Kings attacks any of the other three parties, then the one who strikes first will be punished by us." The other three parties worked together to eradicate it.”

"How about that? This is just an agreement between you four heavenly kings, what does it have to do with me!" Caiqianmai raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chunpingzi who was standing next to him with the same smile behind his hands.

Hearing what Caiqianmai said, Chun Pingzi's smile became even more exaggerated: "Oh, ho ho, big sister, you don't know that. The person who made the first move...is the big brother."

——It’s Big Brother.

Sakata Gintoki?

"What? How is it possible?" Caizenmai yelled in disbelief: "Sakata Gintoki is definitely not the kind of person who would do things that don't go through his brain, nor is he the kind of person who would provoke others casually."

"Eh? Big sister's trust in big brother really surprised me." When Chun Pingzi said this, I could clearly see how disdainful her tone was: "If that's the case, then I admit It doesn't matter. It is true that I am the ghost in the middle. But, the person who will be eradicated in the end is Toshi, this is already a fixed matter that will not change. And, because of this, big sister You are in danger too."

"what?"

"It is said that the eldest sister seems to have a good relationship with that old lady of Toshi, so of course she is from Toshi's side? If you are willing to cooperate with us, you can continue to live in Kabukicho. But if you refuse, Then... maybe big sister, you will become a 'broken' thing like big brother, and then we will easily 'solve' it." With a threatening tone, Chun Pingzi seemed to be very serious about the conditions he set for himself. Satisfied, and expected that Caiqianmai would never refuse. "Big sister, you are a businessman, so you should understand. Naturally, you are very clear about the issue of trade-offs."

Cai Qianmai nodded slowly: "Well, of course I know what I should do."

"If I answer something that doesn't satisfy me, I'm not sure what I'll do." Peacock Ji Hua Tuo's voice was extraordinarily cunning, giving Caiqianmai the feeling of a cunning vixen.The door of the hall behind him was opened, and several people in black came in, walked around Chunpingzi and surrounded Caiqianmai tightly.

Slowly pulling out the dagger from his waist with his lowered hand, Caiqianmai had already expected that he would have a fight with these guys before he left the "sugar pile house".Pulling out the dagger from his waist, Caiqian Mai smiled and said, "I'm not from Dengshi's side, but ah... I really hate threats from others."

……

The sky was getting more and more gloomy, and after the first raindrops fell, random patters of rain began to fall in one piece.Passers-by on the road hurriedly took out their umbrellas, those without umbrellas raised their hands to cover their heads clumsily blocking the rain from the sky.

However, Caiqianmai, who kept running forward, didn't care about the wound on his arm soaked by the rain, let alone the rain that fell from the sky.We must find Granny Toshi, we must find Sakata Gintoki, and if possible, at least tell everyone about this matter.Maybe you can... avoid some harm!Maybe you will be able to think of a way to deal with it soon!

"Tch, it's really raining." Complaining dissatisfiedly, the man in front picked up the umbrella in his hand and slowly unfolded it.The monochromatic umbrella was held high above the head, and the moment the umbrella was unfolded and raised, it blocked Zazenmai's sight, and he didn't see the silver-white curly-haired man running behind the man - Sakata who staggered past Yinshi...the two of them passed each other at a distance of one person...then, the distance between the two became farther and farther.

"Hoo... ha ha... ha..."

"Hoo... ha ha... ha..."

It is getting closer and closer to Dengshi Winery, and farther and farther away from Sakata Gintoki.The door of Dengshi Wine House was opened, and the people inside were chattering and asking, but Caiqian Mai slapped the door with one hand and suddenly became silent.Shimura Shinpachi, Kagura, Catherine, Xiaoyu, and Katsuo Kurokoma with bloody bandages on his body.

"Hey, it's Miss Mai... What's the matter with you... You have wounds on your body, and you're all wet?" Shimura Shinpachi rushed up and stretched out his hand to support Zaizen Mai who was standing outside the door of Toshi Sake House, panting.

Caiqianmai, who was supporting the door frame, felt his throat dry for a while. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his throat. , the hoarse voice asked sharply indistinctly: "Where is Gintoki, where is Sakata Gintoki? And Granny Toshi—!"

"Silver-chan just left that half-dead man over there and left Aru," Kagura pointed at Katsuo Kurokoma, who was bandaged on one side, as if sensing something bad happened, and Minato and Shinpachi Together they floated up Caiqian Mai and asked, "Miss Boss... what's wrong with you, Alu?"

Stretching out his hand to cover the wound on his arm and being supported to sit on the sofa, Caiqianmai said pantingly: "The four heavenly kings joined forces to get rid of Dengshi. Although I don't know the ins and outs of the specific incident, but I only know that you are all in danger now! Dengshi...cough cough, where is Dengshi? And, where is Yinshi?"

"Miss Wheat, don't be in a hurry. Yinshi has probably gone to find Granny Dengshi by now, so don't be in a hurry... bandage the wound first." Xin Baji said, turned his head and glanced at Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu understood Turn around and enter the room, take out the medicine box and hand it to Xin Baji.

The restless feeling in his heart made Caiqianmai unable to breathe, and Caiqianmai knew that everyone around him was very worried.He clenched his fists to restrain himself, but found that his arms were still shaking slightly, maybe it was just tired.

Just as Xiaoyu handed a cup of warm water to Caiqianmai, the phone on the bar rang.Shinpachi, who was bandaging Caiqianmai's wound, turned his head and glanced at Catherine standing beside her. Catherine cursed and complained a few words in annoyance, and went to answer the phone. It fell to the table with a heavy bang.

Everyone sitting in Dengshi Wine House... plus a robot, all looked towards Catherine in shock.Catherine turned around slowly as if her body was stiff: "...Mother-in-law, she is in the hospital..."

-Dividing line-

Oedo Hospital.

"Let's change the bandage tomorrow. The wound on the arm is fine, but the one on the side...needs to be treated." The doctor slowly pulled down the sleeves for Caiqianmai, took off the gloves, and looked Cai Qianmai lowered his head to straighten his cuffs, and asked casually, "It's already the second day...you haven't slept all this time."

"Huh?" Caiqian Mai was stunned for a while, looked up at the doctor, twitched the corners of his mouth and made a "smile" expression, "I'm going to see how the situation is..."

After a few moments of silence, she still couldn't help but say: "Miss Caiqian, don't tire yourself too much, although it's not good to say it... But abnormal rest also has a certain impact on the recovery of the wound. of."

Nodding his head to show he understood, Caiqian Mai stood up clutching the wound on his side, stretched out his hand and opened the door and went up the stairs.There was a quarrel, and the depressed front of the stage was slightly taken aback.Stepping forward, I saw Catherine roaring loudly while grabbing Sakata Gintoki's collar.

"Catherine, what's the matter..."

"The day after tomorrow... Wanshiwu and Dengshi Winehouse..." Catherine turned her head to look at Caiqianmai, her eyes were full of tears, "The day after tomorrow our home will be destroyed by the power of the four heavenly kings! You bastard!" , but ran away with her tail between her legs when Granny Dengshi encountered such a thing!"

With Catherine's collapsed expression and Sakata Gintoki's bowed head, Zazen Mai stepped forward step by step and reached out to grab Catherine's trembling hand because of anger, letting her finally face Sakata Gintoki head-on , the brain went blank and didn't even know what to say, just repeated: "Yinshi, it's okay...everyone is here so..."

"Oh, it's the proprietress. So you're here too." With a listless voice, Sakata Gintoki, who had a patch on his face, raised his head and looked at Caiqian Mai standing in front of him.

"Eh?"

"But I remember, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it? Why bother to get involved in this kind of mess? The proprietress of 'Sugar House', is it because of this matter that she wants to make another big fortune? "Sakata Gintoki looked blankly, and slowly raised his head, squinting his dead fish eyes with a disdainful expression, and said: "I, I'm going to 'get out' of Kabukicho soon, I have no money to pay you Yo."

Unbelievably staring at Gintoki Sakata's affectionate eyes, Catherine behind her was also furious because of what Gintoki said just now, but was about to get angry but was stopped by Zazen Mai's voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Sakata Gintoki! Don’t tell me I’m that kind of person in your impression!”

"The literal meaning, don't you understand, Mrs. Caiqian." With ironic words, Sakata Gintoki faced Zaizenmai, and the invisible door slowly closed.

On rainy days, the rain that separates the two of them is getting bigger and bigger.

Caiqianmai suddenly raised his hand in anger, and the mess in his heart was like a mess about to explode.Seeing Ginjo Sakata Gintoki's unchanging expression and his lack of evasion, Shinpachi Shinmura who rushed over from beside him hissed, "Enough, Yin--" such words.

hesitated.

Cai Qianmai hesitated.

The raised palm did not fall, the fingers were slowly clenched as if suppressing anger, and the nails dug deep into the palm to force himself to calm down.Then... it hangs down feebly.

"Miss Wheat..." Shinpachi was a little worried about Zazenmai who lowered his head. What Gintoki said just now...was too much. What kind of person is Zazenmai? Gintoki, Kagura, Shinpachi, Even Catherine and Xiaoyu knew it well.

"I'm sorry..." Caiqian Mai's hoarse voice stunned Xinbayi.

If I can come here one step faster, if I can be stronger, maybe I can make all this not so bad.For some reason, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised into a smile... It's not right, this matter has nothing to do with him.Then just leave it alone... In my heart, I was in an unexpected mess.

"Sorry to bother you," said the voice with an imperceptible cry, but it was still caught by the careful idiots around.

Turning around quickly, Caiqian Mai strode away from the corridor of the intensive care unit.

……

For three whole days without a serious rest, Caiqianmai trudged back to the gate of the sugar pile house, walked through the surrounding tables and chairs into the cafeteria, washed his dirty palms, and took them out of the refrigerator. While eating a little of the remaining cake, he checked the few remaining ingredients.

Looking at it, I don't know why I just sat on the ground and curled up on the edge of the cabinet, mixed with the big teardrops rolling down from my cheeks and the noodle-shaped snot, and complained vaguely about Sakata Gintoki's donkey liver and lungs and white eyes with puffed cheeks Wolf, while eating the cream cake in his hand.

Crying a mess.

"Zaizen Mai's 'Kabukicho Four Kings Arc' should be over..."

——God said: It's strange.
