[Gintama] The Peerless Good Dad of the Governor

Shinsuke Takasugi, who was in a much happier mood, leaned on the boulder and looked up at the crescent moon under the night.

"I went to look around just now. This is indeed not a place to stay for a long time. There are many wild beasts lurking in the dense forest, and most of them are aggressive."

"It can't be helped, because it's a forest..."

"If we ran into that damn bear that tried to sneak up on us just now, it would be very difficult for us to get back unarmed."

"Um……"

"So we're going to hurry up and leave, what do you think?"

As Takasugi Shinsuke was talking, he found that the earthwork next to him was completely silent.

"fourteen?"

He turned his head and saw that Tufang had fallen asleep at some point, and seemed extremely tired.

Speaking of which, today's consumption is already the limit for an adult who is pregnant with a child.

Even though he knew that the forest was not safe, Takasugi Shinsuke still didn't wake up Hijikata.He was always vigilant about the surrounding situation, and only hoped that before the unknown danger came, he could guarantee as much sleep time as possible.

Fortunately, what Takasugi was worried about did not happen, and they stayed safely until dawn.

When the first ray of golden sunlight appeared in the sky, Shinsuke Takasugi woke up Hijikata.

Hijikata looked at Shinsuke Takasugi with sleepy eyes, and yawned sleepily.

"We should go."

"Okay, let's go."

Tufang pulled himself together, stood up, and brushed away the grass clippings on his clothes.

Seeing Hijikata, Shinsuke Takasugi's complexion finally got better, and he stood up more reassuringly. He stared at Hijikata's round belly, and then he was a little puzzled.

"My belly seems to be a lot bigger than yesterday."

Only then did Tufang lower his head to pay attention to his stomach. Normally, he could still see his toes when he lowered his head, but now he couldn't see it anymore.

"Speaking of it, it seems to be... Hey, isn't this very bad? This size represents the baby's condition in how many months?! Ah... not good, I always feel that my stomach is starting to hurt... It's my illusion ?"

The earth side thought it might be his own psychological effect!Because he was afraid that the baby in his womb would not know when it would be born, after all, none of them had this experience.

"Calm down... In short, we have to go to a place where there are people, and then make plans."

Takasugi Shinsuke supported the earthwork and walked forward.

"Smoke or something...how can there be?"

They have been here for two days and have found nothing but animals.

"Yesterday, when I led the bear away, I found a path that was trampled out in the dense forest in front of me. Since there is a path, it proves that there must be a village nearby. As long as we follow the path, we will definitely be able to reach there. "

Takasugi Shinsuke's words finally gave the earthwork the motivation to move forward.

After he was happy, Hijikata suddenly thought, this guy said "lead the bear away". Could it be that Shinsuke Takasugi met the bear yesterday and was not by his side in order to distract it?That's why, when that guy came back, he was in such a mess...

"Takasugi..."

"what?"

"No, nothing."

The earth side swallowed back what he wanted to say.He didn't know whether to thank him or apologize.

As they walked deeper and deeper on the trail, the abdominal pain that was an illusion at first gradually became real, and cold sweat slowly broke out from Hijikata's forehead.

"Taka, Takasugi...can you walk slower? This time it feels different..."

Takasugi stopped abruptly.

Takasugi Shinsuke looked at Hijikata's dismal expression, and then at the unknown and far-reaching path ahead, feeling a little worried.

"Need a break?"

Hijikata wiped off his cold sweat, feeling that he could last for a while, and he also wanted to leave here as soon as possible, so he rejected Shinsuke Takasugi's proposal.

"No, I can still walk...just walk slowly."

They walked slowly along the road for a long distance, and Hijikata's complexion became worse and worse. In the middle of the period, Takasugi Shinsuke noticed that he was trying to be brave and ordered him to stop and rest a few times until they saw this road. When the entrance was at the edge of the forest, Tufang finally couldn't support his body and couldn't walk by the tree trunk.

"……bad stomach ache……"

Sweat was dripping down his face in big drops, and his legs were even weaker.

Takasugi Shinsuke saw Hijikata's uncomfortable appearance, and he couldn't help feeling flustered when facing the enemy. He had no better way to help Hijikata now. The only thing he could do seemed to be to find the village quickly.

Takasugi Shinsuke suddenly picked up the earthwork and ran out of the forest in a hurry.

"Ah...Takasugi...wait...!!"

Hijikata, who was overly surprised and caused a new round of abdominal pain, couldn't help curling up in Takasugi Shinsuke's arms.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you out."

Takasugi Shinsuke said words of comfort to Hijikata with ease, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.

When I hugged Tufang, my palms were wet.No matter how I think about it, I can only think of the fact that it was a premature birth, so Takasugi Shinsuke desperately ran out of the forest at the fastest speed.

Takasugi Shinsuke himself hadn't slept much for two days and two nights, and the confrontation with the wild beast in the forest consumed a lot of energy, and now he was running with a grown man in his arms, feeling more strenuous than ever.He chose to ignore the protests from the sore muscles all over his body, insisted on gritting his teeth and took the earthwork out of the forest.

After leaving the forest, Shinsuke Takasugi discovered that the forest was located on a hillside, and below this slope was a large farmland, and several farmers were scattered beside the field.In other words, they still have a way to go down the mountain.

"……pain……"

Hijikata's face turned blue from the pain, his pupils began to dilate, and even his voice became weak.

"Damn...be patient, we'll be there soon."

"..."

The earth side did not answer him this time.

Takasugi Shinsuke ran forward with all his strength, without any energy left to stop.

At this moment, he tried his best to stabilize the earthwork while running, because his physical strength was on the verge of limit, every time he took a few steps, the strength of his arms lost a little bit, and even his footsteps became unsteady.

He gradually began to fear that he would not be able to persist in the village below the mountain.

This was one of the few times since he was born that he felt powerless, and it was even more terrifying than when Teacher Songyang was taken away.

Yes, the dread and emptiness of losing those close to you.

The teacher has gone, gone irretrievably, and now... can he catch this person?

Takasugi Shinsuke unconsciously clenched Hijikata's shoulders, and his slow pace accelerated again.

After finally finding something he wanted to protect, how could he, Shinsuke Takasugi, be so easy to compromise? !

It's about to...arrive.

close at hand.

With the remaining strength, Takasugi Shinsuke kicked open the old wooden door in front of him.
