[Gintama] Where is the soft girl that was agreed?

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Shi heard lively discussions coming from outside the tent. Xia Shi jumped off the bed and wanted to sneak outside to see the excitement, but after thinking about it, she felt that ordinary girls were On the second day of her injury, she should be obediently lying on the bed to recuperate. Just as she was worrying about satisfying her curiosity, she heard soft footsteps from outside the door.

Immediately, the girl got back into the bed and saw that the dark blue tent curtain had been lifted up. She carefully hugged the wooden basin, and the little boy who staggered in was the Terao Taro who had been picked up in the village before.

"Yo, pretty big sister, you're awake." Putting the wooden basin and towels filled with clear stream water on the shelf, Terao Taro's eyes lit up, "Just now you were so wretched and asked about you."

Just now...?

Although Terao Taro's attitude towards her was more polite and gentler, and he was always indifferent to Sakata Gintoki, and he pretended to belittle her, but the message he inadvertently revealed was that he had already visited Sakata Gintoki just now. It's time, which means that the person he is actually more worried about is the other party.

"Well, how is Gintoki?" Xia Shi jumped out of the bed again, and filled the mouthwash cup with water. Because the arm on the left shoulder was not moving easily, he put the toothpaste on the toothbrush with the help of Terao Taro , when his mouth was full of foam, he asked vaguely.

"Miss Shiina has already treated his wound. She was in a coma for a while last night and woke up early this morning." Taro Terao couldn't help lowering his tone when he said this, and Xia Shi rinsed his mouth again. The wrung-out towel was handed up, and after Xia Shi took the towel and thanked him gently, he was silent for a while, then as if mustering up his courage, he stared at the girl, "Well, big sister."

"Huh?" The girl couldn't help but wonder why the boy suddenly became hesitant.

"When I passed by the governor's tent just now, I heard him and Mr. Gui seem to be discussing something about recruiting troops." I didn't realize that after hearing the news, the girl's thin lips were slightly pursed, and her dark eyes were depressed and emotionally fluctuating. Eyes, Terao Taro scratched his head and said to himself, "I heard that the battle team this time was seriously damaged, especially the wretched team... So, I think, he is probably also recruiting people." Well, I went to ask him, when, of course, I don't mean to join his team. It's just that, don't I know him better? That...I..."

"Rejected?" Although Taro Terao kept stammering and couldn't explain clearly, Xia Shi still guessed and understood what he meant, and curled his lips jokingly, "Who told you to always call him obscene? "

"When I asked you, I honestly called Brother Gintoki!" Terao Taro immediately retorted unwillingly, and then lowered his head in aggrieved manner, looking disappointed and listless, "Well, can you help me? Talk to him?"

"Then everyone knows that you are Sima Zhaozhi." Xia Shi saw Taro Terao opening his mouth to argue again when he suddenly looked up, and asked unhurriedly, "Besides, why do you think he will agree if I say it?"

"Don't you and Yinsang have such a relationship?" Terao Taro gave thumbs up as a matter of course.

"...That's not it." She narrowed her eyes dangerously, stared at the boy in front of her and swallowed her saliva, her expression became tense, and then quickly restrained her slightly serious expression, slyly and lightly. Blinking eyes, "So don't talk nonsense, Terao Taro-kun. Besides, although that person in Gintoki looks very talkative, he has his own considerations in everything he does, and he doesn't listen to other people's advice easily. Man, he didn't let you participate in the barbarian fight because he didn't want you to be injured, so why don't you accept his kindness? The battlefield is not like hosting a house wine, and you will lose your life if you don't pay attention. Let He calmed down, isn't that good?"

Stunned by Xia Shi's question, Terao Taro seriously thought about her words, and quietly clenched his fists: "Even if that's the case...even if that's the case... why did Xia Sang come back? Yinsang wasn't Did you leave the team too?"

Perhaps recalling the companions in the village who died because of Tianzhaoyuan, the boy clenched his teeth tightly, bloodshot eyes were faintly spreading, and the words that sprang out of his throat were full of some kind of words that could not be said. A clear angry roar: "If you just drag on because you are greedy for life and afraid of death! That's it! That's it! What's the difference between being alive and being dead?"

"I'm different from you." She was silent for a while, and suddenly it was rare to reply seriously, "Besides, if a person dies, there is nothing left, no matter what, living is better than dying, and living has possibilities. "

"But there is no possibility for everyone in the village to die!" Xia Shi's words angered him, and he broke down and shouted. He wiped his eyes roughly with his sleeve, covered his eyes after sobbing twice, and after slowly calming down, Terao Taro apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Xia Sang... I didn't mean to lose my temper with you, I'm sorry... ..."

"Well, I know. You are a good boy." She stretched out her hand and gently embraced the boy in her arms. The girl lowered her eyes and touched the back of his head. Her tone was unbelievably soft, but her expression didn't change much. "What happened?" Is something wrong? It seems a little noisy outside."

"That group of people... Although Sister Shiina and Yinsang didn't tell me, the group of people wearing bamboo hats must be people from the earth. Recently, everyone has been spreading rumors that the shogunate betrayed the people who fought against barbarians. Both the Ghost Soldier Team and Yinsang's team were seriously damaged, and Mr. Gui's team was deliberately dismissed and also encountered an ambush." ​​It was Taro Terao who couldn't restrain his fear and anger when he opened his mouth in her arms. As a result, a trembling voice spoke of something she had clearly understood from the beginning, "Earlier this morning, people from the shogunate came to explain, and Sister Shiina told me to hide behind here and not go to the front. Both sides are like The appearance of drawing a sword at any time looks terrible... But Xia Sang, if, if even the shogunate abandons us, what should we do? At least, I want the strength to be able to hold a sword! "

In Terao Taro's cognition, Xia Shi is undoubtedly a gentle and lovely girl, who can cook and bandage, speaks softly, and smiles like a spring breeze.Therefore, when he said these words, even though deep down in his heart he didn't think such complaining was useful, and he didn't think that Xia Shi could really offer any useful suggestions. If he really wanted to get advice, he might as well ask Sakata Gintoki or Shiina Hotaru.Although the former always looks lazy and can't get excited about anything, he is actually a very reliable person. The latter is not as gentle and laughable as Xia Shi, but he is strong and resolute and does not lose to the soldiers on the battlefield. other men.

Perhaps the reason why he asked Xia Shi for help was just to get comfort.Not helpful, but soothing and warming, comforting him to calm down and find a way to vent and cry.

But what is strange is that the girl has been gently and gently touching his hair, but has not spoken for a long time.

Just when Taro Terao was wondering and wanted to raise his head, he heard a girl's voice coming from the top of his head. It was still the gentle tone he was familiar with, but it was strangely lacking in warmth. Even, at that moment, Taro Terao felt creepy , even the slender waist he hugged was so cold that there was no warmth at all: "Hey, Terao-kun, do you really think that this is an era that can be changed with just a few knives?"
