[Gintama] The Peerless Good Dad of the Governor

After confessing everything to Kondo-san and everyone, Kondo suddenly realized that he didn't say anything, just hugged Jujuro with a grin.

"Fourteen, your hand is hurt, leave it to me to hold the baby."

"...Thank you, Kondo-san."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hijikata smiled, and walked behind Kondo-san who was happily hugging Takasugi Jadero.Wherever Shiwulang went, he was treated like a star, and everyone who was curious put down their work and came together to tease and hug him.

Fifteen Lang was so popular that the local party did not expect it. He thought there would be more voices of opposition.The imaginary worry did not appear, and the earth side was relieved.

It was the first time to bring a child, and the earthwork was obviously in a hurry, but because some team members with children at home helped to give pointers, the earthwork did not make any major mistakes for the time being.Soon, he discovered that the child was a huge problem, because of Shiwulang's relationship, he spent less and less time dealing with team affairs day by day.

Or listen to Sougo, is it better to rest for a while?

Not only was Shiwulang's affairs keeping him busy, but he was more concerned about where the child's father had gone.The guy disappeared without anyone noticing as soon as he arrived in Edo, even if someone was sent to look for him, there was no news.

After a busy few days like this, Hijikata, who was sitting in the backyard of the village and coaxing the child to sleep, received a gift box from Yamazaki mailed from Kyoto, signed by Shinsuke Takasugi.Yamazaki, who knew about the two, opened the box without authorization, and saw a high-end women's kimono inside, with silver butterflies embroidered on the soft white fabric, which echoed the style worn by Shinsuke Takasugi.

Facing Yamazaki's ambiguous look at him, Hijikata's face turned red, and he snatched the gift box and put it in the closet.

In the afternoon not long after receiving the kimono, Hijikata and Sougo, who spared a lot of time because Jujuro fell asleep, went out on patrol together. They happened to hear colleagues talking about Takasugi Shinsuke on the street, saying yes That guy suddenly came and surrendered himself to the shogunate by himself, which is too strange no matter how you think about it.

Hijikata, who was shocked by the news, was almost frightened out of the cigarette in his mouth.

Sougo immediately turned his head to see Hijikata's reaction, and then asked him.

"Mr. Hijikata, what should we do?"

"What do you mean?"

He's in a mess right now.

"That guy is really stupid enough to go to jail, in order to keep the agreement with you."

"It seems that the shogunate will start a trial in three days, and I don't know what punishment that guy will be sentenced."

Sougo kept saying something to him.

"Aren't you going to visit him?"

Hijikata heard Sougo babbling in front of his eyes, which made him upset, and he extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray in the public smoking area next to him.

"Nothing to see, keep patrolling."

"Then let Mr. Hijikata be happy. Anyway, whether Takasugi is sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty, we Shinsengumi will not have so many troublesome errands in the future. It is really gratifying!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, kid, hurry up! You have to make milk powder for Shiwulang when you go back."

Sougo shrugged.

"Mr. Hijikata is really not cute."

Time flies, and it's the next night.

Hijikata tied up the belt of the yukata, flicked the M-shaped bangs twice with his hands, and after confirming that he was dressed neatly, he tiptoed out of the bedroom at a speed that would not wake Jujuro.He closed the door gently, Tu Fang turned around and walked towards the back door of the village.

Outside the cell where Shinsuke Takasugi was being held, Hijikata found an excuse to go in and visit Shinsuke Takasugi. Originally, this kind of felon was not allowed to be visited at will. , but only for 5 minutes.

When he walked to the solitary cell, Hijikata's heart was pounding with tension for some reason.He was afraid of seeing the scarred Takasugi who had been tortured several times, the Takasugi who was dying in his dream.Feeling apprehensive, Hijikata poked his head to look inside. Seeing this, Shinsuke Takasugi was sitting on the edge of the bed sipping wine.

The earthwork was suddenly enraged.

I didn't expect this guy to be so comfortable when he was about to die!Worrying about him like a fool.

Takasugi looked up at Hijikata who suddenly appeared, and smiled.

"I was still wondering when you would come, but I saw you as soon as I looked up. How is Xiao Shiwu? I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss my precious son."

The earthworker pushed back unhappily.

"Well, I can eat, sleep and cry in the garrison. I came here while he was sleeping."

"That's good."

"Speaking of which, how dare you be sure that I will come back?"

"Of course you came here because you cared about me, right? Shishiro."

Takasugi Shinsuke answered him like that without even thinking about it.

"Who... who cares about you! I came to see the child's father for the last time, but there is no other meaning, so stop being sentimental."

Earthwork jumped up like a cat stepping on its tail.

Shinsuke Takasugi stared at Hijikata's clothes several times with a smile, and suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Have you received the clothes I sent you?"

"Clothes?" Hijikata immediately thought of the white women's kimono, "Ah, I got it."

"Really, I really look forward to seeing you put it on."

"Hmph! Who wants to wear women's clothes!"

"Toshiro, don't say you forgot, there was a 'promise' between us."

"Then, that is..."

When the earthworker was desperately trying to make an excuse, the gatekeeper came to inform him that the time was up.Not understanding why the 5 minutes passed so quickly, Tufang was depressed thinking about what he was going to do this trip, didn't he just say some meaningless nonsense?Obviously I want to ask this guy if he can do something...

The moment Hijikata left, Takasugi Shinsuke stopped him.

"Even I opened my mouth to express my feelings, Shishiro, when will you admit yourself?"

Hijikata looked back at Shinsuke Takasugi in surprise, then blushed and gritted his teeth and left quickly.
