[Gintama] The back spirit of the natural volume

The little child hugged her neck with two short arms, and put his head on her thin shoulder obediently.

The two people, one big and one small, only cast a shadow on the ground, which was stretched very thin and long by the street lights.

With countless emotions hidden in his eyes, Sakata Gintoki looked at her quietly, and his heart suddenly became calm.

"Hey, the lady in front..."

The deliberately elongated tone became more and more lazy due to the smudge of the night. He watched her figure stop for a moment, and then he raised his feet and approached her slowly but firmly.

In the end it was she who turned first, before he came to her side.

"Silver time, almost gone."

The black-haired doctor evoked a faint smile that was the same as two years ago, and greeted lukewarmly.

"Are you going back?"

He didn't say where, but both of them knew it well.

"Correct."

"But, you just forgot something."

"……what?"

"I."

"........."

"It's also Yinsang's home now, and it will be in the future."

He said that her home would also be his home from now on, and the implication was self-evident.

But Tsurumi Akimi slightly frowned.

"Silver, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course, I decided on Yinsang two years ago."

“………………………………”

Shocked by the unquestionable look between his brows and eyes, the black-haired doctor looked at him fixedly, as if he wanted to see the depths of his heart through those eyes that were as thick as the night.

Sakata Yin let her look at him at the time, but continued to approach her with his feet.

"Hey, Ash."

While speaking, the silver-haired man scratched his hair.

"Maybe Yinsang, I'm just a bastard. I often put myself in a mess for the people I want to protect, but I still want to say..."

Until the distance between the two of them was shortened to a punch, he lowered his head, his dark eyes tightly wrapped around her sight, and every word seemed to say an unchanging oath:

"I'm very glad that I met you at that time."

She was not the only one he met, but she must be the luckiest one he met.

If the street under his feet is inhabited by his companions and noisy family members who walked shoulder to shoulder with him, and they are all his burdens willingly and happily, then the person who reappeared in front of him The black-haired woman, but besides this burden, the woman he likes is also his unique destination.

"So please believe that even if I will still stand in front of the people on this street in the future, I may still make myself bloody, but because of you, no matter how powerful the opponent I meet, no matter how hard I suffer. Injury, I will always remember that you are waiting for me, so I will not let myself die!"

Every word he said fell into Tsurumi Akimi's heart like a brand, and amidst the uncontrollable pain, there was a thin sourness that made her eyes slightly wet.

Trying to raise her head, she suppressed the churning emotions in her heart and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Yinshi, remember what you said today. If you forget and break your promise in the future...then I will not hesitate to let Aji call another man's father!"

"Eh?"

Sakata Ginshi was taken aback, his eyes fell on the little guy who was hugged by the black-haired doctor. At this moment, he was leaning on her shoulder, staring at him with sleepy eyes without blinking.

The silver-haired man blinked, and suddenly remembered what Shinpachi had muttered to himself not long ago, so he couldn't help blinking again.

Ash's son...

looks like him...

call another man daddy...

Probably seeing his shock, Tsurumi Akimi nodded.

"That's right, Aji is your son!"

"Eh?!!!!!!!!!"

[End of text. 】

The author has something to say: Yo, above!

This ending is what I thought about a long time ago, but I wrote it casually.

Don't worry, Ni Meng, although the main text is over, there is still a side story~

Allow me to take it easy, and then come to all kinds of special episodes.

The fifth lesson: Tsurumi Qiuluan's side story

To achieve the goal, we must be unafraid of sacrifice!

——This is what Tsurumi Akiluan said to him when he rescued Nozomi Yamamoto on the battlefield.

At that time, the war against barbarians had not yet ended, and the large-scale and extended front would turn all places affected by it into hell on earth without exception.Heaven and man pressed on every step of the way, and the samurai retreated steadily.

Under such circumstances, although the shogunate sent troops to resist the battle, it was a voluntary team formed by the people who became the main fighting force at that time, carrying the banner of uncompromising.

However, Tsurumi Qiuluan knew that this situation would not last long, because he had already known the corruption of the shogunate. Under the pressure of a powerful enemy like Tianren, their surrender would not be long The fact of arrival.

In fact, if he could choose, Tsurumi Qiuluan would rather never know that the country he was in was ruled by such a group of garbage, but the blood and tears accompanied by the pain of loss made him realize this soberly and desperately. a little.

When was that?

The red-haired man looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually darkened due to the not-so-good memories.

About three years before Ah Shi appeared, they belonged to one of the few ordinary families who had not experienced loss and displacement during the war years.When he was still young, he followed Tsurumi Yuji to occasionally visit villages that were suffering from diseases, or received someone's invitation to see a doctor for a wealthy family.

Although he found life boring, he never found it unbearable.

Because no matter how long you have been away from home, every time you go back, you can see the joy and longing from the bottom of your heart for the woman named mother.

At that time, he never thought that one day he would watch her rushing to death in front of him, but he could do nothing.

So when this day really came, when the village they were in was attacked by the enemy, he and his father happened to go to see the doctor.

When they got the news and rushed back day and night, what they saw was a picture that completely broke him down.

Broken walls, collapsed houses, lying corpses, bloodstains all over the place... Scene after scene pieced together the pictures that have happened, and the real and depressing scenes are constantly played back in the mind.

He and his father didn't dare to delay, and rushed all the way to the familiar hut with sorrow, but were forced to stop at the corner of the wall.

The hand that came across from behind stopped him from moving forward, the young Tsurumi Qiuluan couldn't help turning his head, and saw his father's calm and indifferent face.

It was the first time he saw this kind of expression on his face, and even the words he wanted to ask in a daze for a moment were blocked back by a finger placed upright in front of his lips.

Be quiet, don't talk!

This is what he saw from Tsurumi Yuji's dark eyes, so despite all the anxiety, he still forced himself to endure.

Contain the breath, lower the breath.

Then he heard the slight tension in the air, like the despair and anger coming from someone's heart... and dead silence.

Then he heard a few rough or sharp laughs and contempt, mixed with cursing voices.

There is no doubt that there are enemies outside the wall.

And there are quite a few.

Tsurumi Qiuluan suddenly found it ironic that his home was right in front of him, but he was so scared by a group of beasts that he couldn't enter the house, let alone know the safety of the person he cared about.

This kind of sarcasm turned into anger that could not be extinguished when it was finally clear who the person who fell on the ground was after the fact—anger at the murderer, anger at the old man, and anger at himself.

——Because it was his mother who died.

Since then, the relationship between Tsurumi Akiluan and Tsurumi Yuji has become stiff, and everyone has a heavy heart. Although Tsurumi Akiluan will still go to the doctor with Tsurumi Yuji, no one has a choice Talking to each other, it has almost reached the point where there is nothing to say.

This was the first crack between the two, but there was no possibility of repairing it.

The last time I went to a doctor with Tsurumi Yuji was when I received treatment for a daimyo who had just returned from the battlefield and was said to have made great contributions to the shogunate at that time.

Originally, he didn't want to go, but seeing Tsurumi Yuji's back turning around alone for some reason, he felt touched in his heart, so he followed silently.

In retrospect, Tsurumi Qiuluan felt countless times that this might be God's will.

Because in that daimyo's mansion, he happened to overhear a very wonderful conversation, so wonderful that for the first time he had such a strong desire to kill a person, and put it into practical action.

—I tell you!Today, Uesugi-sama and I encountered a dangerous battle in Nishimejin, it was really too dangerous!All because of a ridiculous woman!

——Nishimujin?Isn't that the small village that was suddenly attacked by the enemy as mentioned in the battle report two days ago?

——Yeah, because it's very close to where Uesugi-sama is stationed, the general ordered us to go over there to help.

--Then what?What happened to you in the past?

—Ah, we're late.By the time we got there, almost all of them had been destroyed by the heavens and humans, and few living people were seen, but...

— but what?

——We looked around and planned to retreat, but we ran into a celestial team staying there at the head of Ximujin Village, and they were preparing to fuck a woman at that time.

--oh?Is this the woman you're talking about?

--snort!Originally Uesugi-sama looked at that
