[Gintama] The Peerless Good Dad of the Governor

Takasugi Shinsuke took a deep breath, rushed to the monster with the knife in his hand, and then jumped up to the monster's round head with the help of the monster's many tentacles, raised the knife high, and inserted it into the monster's head.Although I don't know how many tentacles are still hidden in this guy's body, but if you just cut off the exposed tentacles, it won't help at all, and it will poison yourself deeper. The only way is to make it never spit out those disgusting tentacles.

With a bang, the gleaming entire blade of the blade sank into the monster's head, and the splashed blue body fluid sprinkled Takasugi Shinsuke all over.

The monster suddenly let out a heart-piercing roar, and began to fall into a berserk state, constantly stretching out its tentacles, attacking everything around it indiscriminately, and several big trees growing by the river were also destroyed by it.

Taking advantage of the gap between Takasugi Shinsuke and the monster, Hijikata hurriedly rescued Wan Qi who was trapped next to him.

Because of the poisoning, it was quite strenuous to use the dull hands and feet. Earth Fang gritted his teeth and tried his best to split the bundles of tentacles, and Wan Qi was able to get out of trouble.

"Hey, Ghost Squad...in Edo, right? That guy Takasugi supported him alone, and he was poisoned again. He definitely can't last long, so go find support."

Tu Fang grabbed Wan Qi by the collar of his dark blue coat and ordered urgently.

As for why the ghost soldiers were selected for support instead of the true selection group, the earth side had a little selfishness.

For now...he doesn't want Takasugi to be arrested.

Wan Qi glanced at Shinsuke Takasugi who was maintaining his figure on the monster's swaying head, and then at Hijikata who was burning with anxiety.

"I understand."

Wan Qi decided to listen to Tu Fang for the time being, turned around and staggered away.When walking on the embankment, he suddenly turned his head and said to Tu Fang.

"Be careful yourself. Also, Shinsuke... I'll leave it to you to take care of me, Shinsengumi's deputy chief... Hijikata."

After finishing speaking, Wan Qi rushed to inform his companions nearby with the fastest speed so far.

Tufang was stunned for a moment, wondering what this guy meant.In the blink of an eye, Tufang was swept by the tentacles of the berserk monster and crashed into the river. If it wasn't for a slightly raised stone to support him there, he almost fell into the deep river.

Shinsuke Takasugi happened to see this scene, and a burst of anger suddenly surged into his heart. The handle of the knife in his hand instantly used all his brute force, and cut into the monster's flesh heavily, cutting the part of the monster in front of him. The head was cut in half.

The monster, which had already lost too much blood, fell back into the river with a howl after being severely injured, and died.With the death of the monster, the huge body of the monster shriveled up like shrinking, and finally turned into a thin layer of skin.

Shinsuke Takasugi, who was thrown into the river, surfaced, brushed his wet hair back from his head, and then swam towards the earth that fell on the stone.

Just as Hijikata recovered from the impact, he saw Shinsuke Takasugi swimming towards him as soon as he opened his eyes.

The monster just now was gone, there were broken logs everywhere in the river, and there were many bloodstains of monsters, the whole scene was a mess.

"Are you all right?"

Takasugi Shinsuke asked.

The earthwork nodded as if nothing happened.

Seeing Hijikata's pale face, he didn't look like a normal person, Takasugi Shinsuke knew that this guy was trying to be brave in front of him, and was very displeased.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, I..."

Before Shinsuke Takasugi finished speaking, the whole river suddenly shook.

"what happened?"

Tufang frowned tightly and asked in surprise.

"The water level in this river is rising rapidly, we need to leave quickly."

Takasugi Shinsuke stretched out his hand to drag the earthwork from the rock into the water, and prepared to swim to the bank of the river together.

Once in the water, the earthworker felt that the flow of the river was unusual.

Could it be that...that monster has been hiding in the river, blocking the river's eye, so the river is so calm.However, they killed the monster hiding here, without the cover of the giant, so the river was blocked under the river bed and began to spew wildly, so what they are now facing is the fate of being swallowed by the river...

As soon as he swam a little distance, Hijikata felt the pain in his stomach attack again, making him feel weak all over. If Takasugi Shinsuke hadn't pulled him in time, he would have sunk to the bottom.

"If you don't have the strength left to swim, just hold on to me, no matter what, I'll bring you ashore safely."

Takasugi Shinsuke's words shocked Hijikata's heart.

He is clearly a wanted criminal by the shogunate, but what he said at this time sounds damn reliable...

I always feel...you can trust this guy.

Regardless, let's just believe it.He has no other choice, does he?

Hijikata just hesitated for a moment, then hugged Shinsuke Takasugi's waist with all his strength.

Seeing that Hijikata was willing to believe him, Takasugi Shinsuke didn't stop and quickly swam to the shore.

However, the gushing speed of the river showed the power of nature at this moment. Human beings are so insignificant. In just a split second, a large amount of cold river water submerged the two of them instantly from bottom to top.

……

…………

"..."

"...Wake up!"

"Hey! Hijikata! Wake up!"

"..."

"Fourteen Lang!"

"Damn it...! Is it still okay?..."

"...don't... don't die..."

Takasugi Shinsuke's voice sounded anxious and distant.

After what felt like a long time, Hijikata suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of the eyes is the top of a cave that has never been seen before, covered with dark soil layers.

He turned his head to look to the side again, and Shinsuke Takasugi was watching him silently, a small pile of weak bonfire was burning in the cave, and there was a dark night and shining stars outside the cave.

"Takasugi..."

He wanted to ask where this guy was, but as soon as he uttered his voice, Shinsuke Takasugi quickly turned his head to look at him. Hijikata, who was a little scared at first, suddenly laughed when he saw Shinsuke Takasugi's appearance.

"Pfft...hahaha...what the hell! Cough, cough..."

Because of the sudden burst of laughter, Hijikata couldn't help coughing.

Shinsuke Takasugi came over, helped Tukata to sit up, and patted him on the back, because Shinsuke Takasugi did this action so naturally that Tukata didn't notice anything wrong for a while.

"Look at your own ghostly appearance, haha, I'm dying of laughter. Why did you make it so dirty, like a child burning a stove in the country?"

The relieved Hijikata couldn't help laughing at Shinsuke Takasugi.I'm used to Takasugi Shinsuke's tidy appearance, it's ridiculous to suddenly see this guy's disheveled appearance.

Could it have been made when the fire was lit...

Regarding the rumors about Takasugi Shinsuke, Hijikata has heard many versions. To sum it up, Takasugi Shinsuke's hometown is very rich, and he is the young master that everyone envies. However, when the war against barbarians broke out, he broke away from his hometown.

Of course, even if this pampered guy does not have the financial protection of his hometown, he still has a group of ghost soldiers at his disposal, so it is certain that Shinsuke Takasugi's proficiency in rough work must be 0.

Fortunately, this young master can light a fire.
