[Gintama Doujin] The Walking Moon

? Two weeks later—

A new regime was established, and Yoshiki Tokugawa finally sat in the position of general he had always dreamed of, even if it was just a puppet.

Tokugawa Momo and Matsudaira returned to Kyoto, where they wanted to cultivate their health and recuperate, and make a comeback.

Gintoki and the remaining samurai and ninjas received a letter from Momo two weeks later.When everyone was expecting to open the letter, what they got was the news that Mao Mao had been assassinated in Kyoto and had passed away.

"Before dawn is the darkest time, but don't close your eyes. Those who close their eyes in the dark will not be able to see the light of tomorrow."

-

Matsudaira returned to Edo and sat across from Tokugawa Yoshiki. The current general with a bandage on his head looked much calmer now, but his eyes still showed madness.

Sitting next to him was a trustee who played the missing role for him. From the moment Songping sat down, he yelled: "Sit down quickly!", "This rude guy!" Howl of meaning.

Songping ignored his threat, lit his cigarette contentedly, and said leisurely after exhaling a puff of cigarette, "I'm sorry, I only have one general to admit."

Tokugawa Xixi is quite sensible, he probably knows that this person came to revenge, but Mao Mao really did not kill him, because he will only do crazier things.

Facing the anxious Tokugawa Xixi, Matsudaira sighed slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xixi, I haven't mobilized anyone yet." As he said this, the poisonous needle in his sleeve reached his palm.

"Please throw it away, the dagger and the poisonous needle." Suddenly a voice behind him stopped his attempt to assassinate, "Mr. Songping, it's a pity that you no longer have the ability to sanction others."

Matsudaira lowered his head, put the thing in his hand on the palm of the person behind him after a long while, and said in an inaudible voice: "Sasaki...after being abandoned by Takasugi, he wagged his tail vigorously at Hitoshi Hitoshi ah."

Sasaki's face was paralyzed, and his voice was as unmoving as his expression: "What are you talking about, the only person I serve is Xi Xigong."

At this point, the Shinsengumi was disbanded, and Sasaki, as the new chief of the Police Agency, began a new era.

-

Yinshi lost another cherished person.

The Shinsengumi was also disbanded, and everything he wanted to protect was collapsing.

That day, Kondo was practicing swordsmanship in the dojo of the Shinsengumi, and the sound of footsteps gradually approached, until a voice sounded behind him: "It can be seen that you are confused in the sword technique."

Kondo put away his knife and turned around, and saw Yin Shi leaning against the door, holding a crutch in his hand, pointing at him: "The puppy police left the lost kitten alone, and I was at a loss. It's really frustrating." You can talk. Do you want me to teach you? I can beat you with crutches."

Kondo looked at this wounded man who was supposed to be lying on the bed again, but now appeared at the door to comfort others, the corners of his mouth curled up feebly, this guy still cared about others in this way, his nerves were so sharp that it was terrifying.

Kondo blames himself for not protecting Mao Mao well, and other people feel the same way, but at this time they are all in such a downturn, no one is playing a leading role, and I am afraid that they will be removed accidentally later .

He took out the wine glass and silver and sat in front of the door, talking to each other while drinking.

"Yinshi, have you ever thought about it countless times during the war, no matter what you protect or lose, it's meaningless?"

"...It's meaningless." Unexpectedly, Yinshi gave such an answer, "The ones that are meaningful to protect are those souls that fight against themselves. And those souls have not died."

"As long as there are people who maintain their ideas, then for us, there is no need for funerals and farewells, as long as we drank this glass of wine with each other, it is enough."

Kondo raised the wine glass to his lips, and laughed silently: "Gintoki, you are truly a miraculous person."

So the teacher's relic you want to protect is also like this?You really see lofty and real than anyone else.

He poured a glass of wine into the air as a memorial to Mao Mao, and turned to Yin Shi and said: "Tell Shishi for me, don't do stupid things, Edo still needs you. And... I should have a drink with you earlier. "

Gintoki opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and a group of people in white uniforms surrounded him. The leader was Shino, who walked up with a blank expression and handcuffed Kondo.

"Behead Matsudaira Katakuritor and Kondo Isao."

Tokugawa Yoshiki ordered the removal of Shigeru's remaining wings, including Isao Kondo of the Shinsengumi, while his subordinates were left behind.

"Wait, what's going on here." Yinshi stood up, he didn't expect that Xixi to be so ruthless.

The letter girl stopped him, and Yinshi showed a ghostly expression, looked at her impatiently and said, "What's going on?"

"It's surprising that you, who have been at odds with the Shinsengumi for a long time, can show such an expression." The letter girl withdrew her knife and stood in front of him, while the newly appointed policeman behind him drew his knife and pointed it at Gintoki's head, "Because the same burden You committed the crime of letting the general die, so you have the consciousness of a companion?

"Or, after losing something important, you want to have it again?"

"...Different from usual, you've become very good at talking." Yinshi's expression faded, and he didn't care about the countless knife points behind him, "What do you know about me?"

The letter girl did not answer his question, but explained lightly.Kondo Isao has entrusted Edo to you, and the next thing to do is to stop the wolf cubs under him from doing stupid things.And now, only Yinshi can do this.

-

What Tukata and Okita who came to the village saw were black uniforms and white uniforms wrestling together. The village was extremely chaotic, but now they didn't see their boss in this situation, and they suddenly felt bad.

"I'm sorry." Yin Shi suddenly appeared at the gate with a cane, and said to the two people, but there was no more sound after these three words. ?

☆、Confessions of Hijikata

?The members of the Zhenxuan team were still filled with righteous indignation about what their chief had done, and even rushed to Xixi's place to save people in a flash of enthusiasm.

And I was torn apart by two forces: I didn't want them to die, and I didn't want the boss to die.

Was it the same feeling Gintoki faced back then?

It's so painful, but at least they have a choice, I can only say: "It's up to you, if this is the true selection group you want, I won't stop it. I can't tell who is right , I no longer have the right to restrain you. If you still have something you deeply believe in, go and fight for it, no matter what kind of path it is."

"You are still the true selection group."

After that, I left the Shinsengumi, and I didn't even dare to face Euntoki.Even though I said this, how could I sit idly by and ignore those who are heavily loaded in my heart.

Afterwards, I worked for Zenigata Heiji as an assistant to the detective, monitoring the criminals he found suspicious.It's just that I can't sleep peacefully at night, and even when I take a nap during the day, I will dream of terrible scenes. Sometimes the head of Kondo boss has been chopped off, and sometimes it looks like silver is covered in blood.

After the battle with Iga ended, I fell into a depression that I couldn't extricate myself from.Gintoki's shattered appearance appeared in front of my eyes as soon as I closed my eyes, and I felt even more uncomfortable.

Compared with him, I'm really weak, and I can't even protect his back.What kind of ghost's deputy chief...I'm afraid people will die of laughter if I say it.

After a few days of this chaos, I don't know what I am doing at all, and even I am about to lose myself.

Zenigata arranged a welcome party for me, at a bar in a Kabuki hall.Although I was not in the mood, I couldn't refuse his kindness, but I saw unexpected people there.

His wound seemed to be mostly healed, and there was still a big bandage on his face, his body smelled like medicine, he looked tired, and he was walking with a drag, probably throwing away his crutches ahead of time.

"Really, drinking with a depressed face will make the wine difficult to drink. Get out of here."

This guy... why are you here?You lost half your life last time, and now you can drink again?

Unconsciously, a wave of worry mixed with anger surged up in my heart, but what I said became: "I should drink alcohol when I'm depressed? You're the one who got the hell out of me! After all, why are you at my welcome party?!"

The idiot curly started to fight back without any accident, and he said all kinds of hurtful words.In front of him, my IQ was lowered in an instant, and I fought back without any words. After making a lot of noise for a while, Shimura Tae stopped me.

She was usually violent and rude to the boss, but in front of her eyes she looked like she had lost her husband, her eyes were sad, and the wine she poured out must have been bitter.

I couldn't help but started to blame myself again, feeling helpless like a knife, piercing my heart, making it hard to breathe every minute and every second.Whether it's the boss, the general, or Yinshi, I can't protect him...

"That's not the case! You did a good job!" A Miao comforted me, this woman is indeed stronger than ordinary people.

"Let me praise you." Sasaki suddenly appeared at the door, behind him were two rows of men in white uniforms, he walked in, his eyes under the lens were extremely contemptuous, "The lost dog."

Sasaki...! !

Some sense is still there at this time, but the man who walked in behind him almost made me unable to control my fist.

"I said that I forgot to work tonight. Mao Mao used to like to sneak into the market and spy on the lives of the lower classes. Then I will follow suit." Hitoki Hitoshi's disgusted face showed a disgusted expression, and his face She was arrogant, but she pretended to be looking straight up, "Don't salute, don't care, just drink. Tonight, I'm just an ordinary happy person."

Although I knew this guy would not let it go, but he let us bark to him like a dog, my reason was burned to ashes by the anger, I clenched my fist tightly so that I could not control myself and punch him.

Hitohashi Xixi sat on the sofa, and his dirty mouth never stopped: "Come and drink, pray for Mao Mao and your general. You will be executed in five days, why don't you be punished?" Be a guard at the execution ground."

The body is trembling, the ears are ringing.

He said that he didn't respond when he saw me for a long time. He dropped the wine glass at my feet with a clatter, and then continued to chatter and slander.

I thought I was really about to lose control, but suddenly the person standing behind him pulled out a knife and killed the woman who was drinking with him.

The momentary shock made me almost forget what he said before, this guy... is he still a person?Simply a mad dog.

"What are you doing?! Who would want to follow you!!" Ah Miao shouted, and was held up for a moment after that, a bridge brushed my shoulder and walked towards her.

"Real police and samurai would not do such a thing." A Miao was still talking, "That person would not do such a thing."

Hitohashi's sneer sounded from behind, and the string of my tense rationality finally broke, and I turned around and punched down——

Boom!

Tick-tock blood flowed down the corners of Yinshi's mouth and nostrils. I looked at the bright red blood and couldn't reflect what I had done for a moment.

"I accept this punch." Gintoki held my hand, and the moment the cold skin touched it made me tremble, "In order to beat up that stupid boss who left you and went away."

Suddenly he turned around, punched Yiqiao hard in the face, and sent him flying.

"It's best to deal with a drunk or a drunk's fist without the police."

He stared at me disdainfully, reached out to wipe away the blood from his nose, and his face quickly swelled up.

Only then did I regain my sanity, I trembled and couldn't speak... This guy actually beat this man because of me, does he know what he was facing after that? ! ! !How many people do you want to protect willingly! !Can't you just think about yourself! ! !

His silvery white curly hair was hazy under the blurred light, but his eyes were clear and bright, looking at me seriously, the things inside probably I will never understand in this life.

Why do you have to be so gentle... The gentleness makes people feel ashamed.

And I actually made a move on you, Gintoki.I spurned myself again in my heart, but I also clearly understood something.

It won't go on like this, as long as there is one person, Shinsengumi will not die.And I will stick to my Bushido!
