[Gintama] The Peerless Good Dad of the Governor

Takasugi Jinsuke Wenzhi's complexion changed a lot. He raised his hand to wipe his face, but he missed the stain on his face.

Hijikata frowned, said "not here" and "nor there", and wiped it several times without hitting it. In a fit of anger, Shinsuke Takasugi ignored Hijikata and stopped rubbing like a fool. went.

"Fool!"

Hijikata couldn't stand it anymore, he tore off his still damp white scarf, raised Takasugi's face and moved closer, and quickly wiped Takasugi Shinsuke's face clean.

Takasugi Shinsuke did not move the whole time.

Until Hijikata was about to leave, Takasugi Shinsuke suddenly grabbed his wrist, with a hesitant expression.

"Earth."

"……Ok?"

Does this guy have something to say?But talking is talking, why do you have to hold his hand!

"...I think that the reason I care about you is because I'm falling in love with you..."

At this time, there was a long wolf howl in the forest, which coincided with what Takasugi Shinsuke said in the second half.

"Oops, so there are wolves in this place. Speaking of which, where is this place?"

Hijikata, who was attracted by the wolf, shook off Shinsuke Takasugi's hand, and went outside the cave to look around worriedly, taking a look at the nearby terrain by the way.

Takasugi Shinsuke secretly thanked Hijikata for not being able to hear what he said, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"How do I know? Ever since the river erupted in the river, we have been washed here by the rapids along with a piece of driftwood. During this period, because you have not woken up, I can't be too far away from you, so I am alone nearby After turning around a bit, I found this temporary shelter."

"Damn it, it seems that I can only stay here for one night, and I will find my way back after dawn."

"Hmph, that's exactly what I plan to do."

"By the way, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly..."

Tufang walked back to the cave and sat down, wanting to continue the conversation they had just had.

"..."

Shinsuke Takasugi turned his head, obviously not wanting to talk about it.

"It's fine if you didn't hear clearly, it's not a big deal. There is a half-cooked rabbit by the fire, go to bed after you eat, I will keep watch at the entrance of the cave."

Seeing that Takasugi Shinsuke refused to speak, Hijikata didn't bother to ask further.

He hastily ate half of the rabbit meat that Shinsuke Takasugi left for him, and felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot. Hijikata lay down on the haystack just now. Not long after he fell asleep, he tossed and turned in trouble.

Why did this happen?He doesn't want this kind of development at all!

Speaking of which, why is this guy trying so hard to save him?

"Could it be that you are nervous about the child in her belly? 』

Suddenly, I recalled what the boy asked Takasugi during the scuffle in the building.

Is it really because of the child... Takasugi didn't immediately deny it at the time, but there was no evidence to prove that the other party was only doing it for the sake of the child... Ahh... Damn, why should I care about this like a young girl things.

"What, the fire is too bright so you can't sleep?"

Shinsuke Takasugi who was sitting in front of the cave suddenly turned his head and asked a question.

"No, nothing."

"No matter what, you have to endure for one night."

The earthwork also understands that it is very dangerous to spend the night in a completely unfamiliar forest without a fire.Because most wild beasts are afraid of fire, they are using this weakness of the enemy to ensure their own safety.However, it was not for this reason that he could not sleep.

"...cough cough, today's matter...thank you."

"Hmph, I'm just fulfilling my promise, you don't need to thank me."

"Ah, yes, that's right... Haha, I absolutely don't mean anything else to you. I just show it because I don't like to owe others. It's just a simple polite thank you. Don't give it to me. Misunderstood."

The earth side hastened to explain his thanks just now.

Hearing Takasugi Shinsuke's reply, the disappointment in my heart was even heavier, and sure enough...

"Is that so? It's up to you. But it's great that you're okay."

Takasugi Shinsuke responded casually, lowered his head and picked up the half-burned branches at his feet and threw them into the fire. The last sentence seemed to be blurted out completely unconsciously.

Earth's heart skipped a beat.

What did this guy just say?

He said "you're all right" not "the kid's all right"...that means...his focus was on me?

The sound of his heartbeat suddenly rang, and Tufang turned over to face the earthen wall, his eyes wide open, and the drowsiness brewed after eating just now disappeared instantly.

THUMB, THUMB, THUMB...

"Bang your sister!"

Takasugi Shinsuke, who was startled by Hijikata's sudden loud shout, turned around and asked in doubt.

"What's wrong?"

"Well...it's okay, I, I'll go to bed first, good night."

"..."

asshole!How could he sleep after hearing that!

After staying up until midnight, Tufang finally abandoned his weapons and surrendered. Just as he was about to go to bed, he heard footsteps approaching behind him, accompanied by the rustling of clothes.There were only the two of them in the cave, and they didn't know what Shinsuke Takasugi wanted, so Hijikata quickly closed his eyelids, and after a while, something warm covered his upper body, and then Shinsuke Takasugi walked away softly.

After Hijikata opened his eyes, he found that the clothes on his body were the black coat that Shinsuke Takasugi had been wearing on the Kingdee yukata.

The clothes have been dried by the fire, and the dry and warm clothes are filled with the smell of the owner, enveloping him, protecting him from the cold like a thin quilt.

Oops……

Why do you do such gentle things... Takasugi, this is not your style at all!

Earthwork secretly clenched his fists.

When the earthworker woke up, the fire had been artificially extinguished, leaving a pile of burnt black dead branches and ashes on the ground.The sun's light came in from the entrance of the cave, and Shinsuke Takasugi, who was in charge of guarding, leaned against the wall of the cave entrance and fell asleep.

The sun illuminated the surroundings of the cave entrance. Shinsuke Takasugi's face with fine wounds was bathed in the light, and there were light dark circles under his closed eyes. He did insist on guarding all night. When morning came, this man Just take a light nap.

Hijikata pulled off the clothes that did not belong to him, walked up to Shinsuke Takasugi and put them back on for him.

This action woke up Shinsuke Takasugi, and his bloodshot eyes looked haggard due to lack of sleep, which made Hijikata feel a little guilty.

"Give me back the clothes."

"……Um."

"Do you want to sleep a little longer? You don't seem to have slept for a long time..."

After all, the burden of using the monocular is heavier, and the earthwork is a little worried about whether this guy's vision will be affected.

"No need, go to the river to wash your face and you will wake up naturally. It is the best policy to leave here as soon as possible."

"makes sense."

The two walked one after the other and reached the nearest river together.
