[Gintama] Killing Knight

The landscape paintings hanging on the wall have a long artistic conception, and the scenery on the slowly unfolding scroll is grand and exquisite, as if you can smell the ethereal ink fragrance when you get close, and there is still a light and refreshing smell hidden in it, which will not It makes people unconsciously dazzled.

In such a quiet Japanese room, slowly entwining a pair of boys and girls who are the protagonists, is such an intoxicating and sober fragrance.

The girl's stature has not yet grown, and she can't support the gorgeous and cumbersome sleeves, but her already delicate face is more delicate under such a costume, and her pair of cold and bright eyes that hang down slightly are neither happy nor sad, but when she looks up For a moment, it seemed as if the ice melted, and the light flowed, as soft as a spring breeze with the fragrance of flowers, warm and slightly drunk.

Also dressed formally, the boy in hakama was a little stunned seeing this.

His impression of the girl in front of him... still stays on the girl who cried almost in despair two years ago, but whose eyes are still stubborn and prickly.

The two juniors looked at each other silently, while the friendly conversation between the elders continued.

The Yichuan family has always been in the business of medicinal materials. Although it has been passed down for a long time and they have some savings, they are still a bit dissatisfied with the Sakamoto family, one of the richest merchants in the Tosa domain. In recent years, they have been dealing with business matters, so The head of the Yichuan family was still very polite to those in power in the Sakamoto family.

As a businessman, the most important thing is profit.

After the greetings are in place, it is time to give the junior some time to be alone. The two adults smiled politely at each other, and after a few instructions, they moved to a more secluded inner room to talk.

Sakamoto Tatsuma secretly touched his nose, his eyes unconsciously drifted to the courtyard outside the door, staring at Xingzhu in the pond, wondering what he should say to start the scene.

The girl sitting opposite him quietly and politely looked up at him with soft and calm eyes, "Master Sakamoto, let me serve you tea."

Sakamoto Tatsuma was a little surprised, but nodded anyway.

The smile on the corners of Yi Chuanxue's lips was warm and gentle. After she saluted Sakamoto Tatsuma, she lowered her eyes and began to focus on the movements of her hands.

Ordering tea, making tea, brewing tea, her whole set of movements can be described as smooth and smooth, without any flaws, and the overall sense of rhythm and rhythm is like a meticulous dance, even Tatsuma Sakamoto who has no intention of watching this I couldn't help but secretly marvel.

When the final action was finished perfectly, when it was time to offer tea and taste tea, Yi Chuanxue watched Sakamoto Tatsuma pick up the tea cup with anticipation in his eyes.

Taste...pretty good.

I don't know if this is the characteristic of Yichuan's family, even the tea has a clear medicinal fragrance, which is very refreshing.

Received Tatsuma Sakamoto's unsparing praise, Yi Chuanyuki's smile was still gentle and gentle, she was a little embarrassed to be praised, but it was obvious that she was very happy that the results of her hard work had paid off.

So the relationship between the two went smoothly in such a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.

When Sakamoto Tatsuma left Yichuan's house, his unreliable father immediately lost his aura and restraint in front of outsiders, and he grabbed his shoulder carelessly, "Small! I finally met your little one today." Is the fiancee very happy?"

Sakamoto Tatsuma turned his head to look out the car window, and answered vaguely, which aroused suspicion no matter how he looked at it.

Father Sakamoto was also suspicious. He looked suspiciously at his idiot, and was startled when he thought of a guess. "Are you despising other girls again? Boy, you have good eyesight, huh?"

Sakamoto Tatsuma felt that his father's brain power was enough, so he explained quickly and speechlessly, "No!"

After a pause, he suddenly turned his head and looked out the window again, not letting Uncle Sakamoto see his expression, "After all, it was my own choice back then, and I will still bear the basic responsibility."

When he said this, Uncle Sakamoto also remembered what happened two years ago. Even now, he still feels a little foggy when he thinks about it, but it doesn't prevent him from giving himself a like.

Knowing at such a young age that a daughter-in-law should be ordered first, he has the demeanor of his father back then!

However, the Yichuan family's conditions as a business partner are quite good, and they have a good reputation, but in terms of family style... Uncle Sakamoto, who maintained the movement of picking up the shoulder of the horse with one hand, touched his chin with one free hand, with a serious expression on his face.

How could she treat a child like that... No matter what her background was, at least she was not at fault. The one who made the most mistakes from the beginning to the end was the irresponsible Patriarch Yichuan who made her come into this world.

If his son hadn't happened to save her, I don't know what would have happened to that little girl.

Afterwards, the Yichuan family actually proposed a marriage plan. Uncle Sakamoto was really intoxicated by this family. Before he could think of a reason to refuse, Tatsuma Sakamoto suddenly interrupted everyone present.

- "I do."

Tatsuma Sakamoto took it almost subconsciously.

He snatched the white, only to belatedly realize that other people looked at him very wrongly.The leader is his father. To outsiders, he may not have changed much, but Chen Ma, who is familiar with his nature, still sees through his shocked eyes at a glance. The meaning of "Oh, I'm going to you, you're good, you're so kind".

Secondly, what surprised him was that Patriarch Yichuan, even though he had entered middle age, could still see that the eyes of the once handsome man were not surprise, but surprise.

Accident?Why surprise?

Sakamoto Tatsuma, who was at a loss for this, didn't show anything at the time, but that look seemed like a thorn stuck in his throat, which couldn't be pulled out and couldn't be ignored.

Coupled with the girl's performance today... He didn't dislike anything or regret anything, but was very confused and a little vaguely uneasy.

He agreed so quickly at that time not because of anything else, but subconsciously felt that if he agreed, the girl would have a better life in the future, and he really didn't want to see that look again.

——Although he was finally scolded by his father because of his sloppyness, but after he repeatedly promised and almost swore to God that he was serious, that stupid uncle changed his attitude in an instant, and he was completely different from before and after.

But now Tatsuma Sakamoto suddenly began to suspect, that girl...that girl...that girl who looked two years ago has completely changed, with a bright appearance and a gentle and elegant smile, is she really happy?

Was she really as happy as she thought she was at first?

The day Tatsuma Sakamoto left was sunny and mild.

But... not many people came to see him off.

In the eyes of many people, Sakamoto Tatsuma who left at this time is no different from a deserter. Although he does not hate him, and even many people can understand his behavior, but after all, different ways do not conspire with each other. Anyway, they definitely do not I will come to see you off to express my support for this kind of behavior of leaving the army halfway.

At least Takasugi and Gui did not come to see him off for the sake of the atmosphere of the army. Only Sakata Gintoki, who cares nothing about those things, and Sakata Hikaru, who has always been affectionate, came.

Hikaru Sakata held the sword, leaned behind the torii gate of the shrine, and listened leisurely to the conversation between Gintoki and Tatsuma, and looked up by chance, and the clouds were floating in the sky, covering half of the sun, and sprinkled pieces on the ground. Shade, relieves eye discomfort.

She suddenly said, "Chen Ma."

The two youths, who had come to an end for the time being, looked over at the same time. Their expressions were different from their usual lazy or stupid expressions. They were gentle and tolerant as if they could pretend to be the whole world.

Tatsuma Sakamoto raised his bamboo hat, "Spring?"

"It's not Chun, it's Hikari, idiot, when can you call someone else's name correctly?" Sakata Gintoki gave him a sideways look, and complained mercilessly.

"Ahahaha, you are too much, Jin Shi."

"It's Gintoki! If I'm called Kimtoki, no matter if it's the original novel, the anime, or the title of this doujin, should I change it?"

"Okay, don't argue at this time." Hikaru Sakata waited for a while, and found that the dispute between the two bastards had not stopped, but intensified instead, so he could only stop it with a headache.

The corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and she looked at Tatsuma Sakamoto with a firm and gentle gaze, as if silently making a promise that was not explicitly stated, but that was well known to each other, "I will see you again, Tatsuma."

Sakamoto Tatsuma grinned, as if even the sun was shining brightly, "Yeah!"

No more words to say, the straight young man's shoulders are reliable and straight, and the back that is getting further and further away is firm and fearless. Hikaru Sakata let out a breath, and turned his eyes to look in one direction.

"Xiaoxue, are you still not coming out?"

The silver-haired girl leaning on the hiding place with her hands behind her back didn't make a sound. She stared blankly at the still blue sky, and found that some idiot's eyes were more pleasing to the eye.

In the future, I don't know if there will be a chance to live together under the same sky like this.

Yi Chuanxue, who thought that she would continue to be heartless, suddenly felt a little bit disappointed.

# # #

She's just a bitch, yet she managed to climb up to the young masters of the Sakamoto family—those people repeated these words over and over again to 'remind' her with almost stinging malice.

Like the curse of an evil spirit, it lingers, lingering in her ears day and night.

She thought that she could be brainwashed in this way, that she could behave like they said obediently, to be a "dog" who left Yichuan's house and worked hard at Sakamoto's house to be a little fudao to please the "master".

It's not that I didn't have panic, it's not that I was almost overwhelmed by these malice, it's not that I didn't think about giving up on myself.

But fortunately, fortunately, she did not admit defeat.

She once bumped into the wall and shrank in a dark corner, silently watching those spoiled girls acting like a baby to their family members, thoughtfully.

Is it possible to be different from before by imitating their appearance?

Playing tricks, being obedient, playing psychological warfare, moistening things and silently guiding the psychology of others, while her real self is hidden under layers of masks, and after a long time, she almost forgets that little beast with sharp claws girl.

until that person appeared.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Yi Chuanxue knew very well that it was Tatsuma Sakamoto who saved her again.

Once again, he dug her out of the dark and moldy 'cabinet', and gave her the sunshine without rejection.

It's... nasty.

It's disgusting.

She hates such abusive people the most.

Every time I get closer, I feel like I see a mirror that couldn't be more clear, in which I can clearly see the dark, ugly and selfish self, so disgusting that I can't even look at myself anymore.

Self-serving to save her, self-serving to make a marriage contract, self-serving to approach her, and self-serving guilt.

Um?Did you hear what those guys said?Do you think she will be affected by that kind of words?As expected, she was such an innocent and stupid person, until now she couldn't see what she had become.

——The girl he might have had a crush on has disappeared.That Yi Chuanxue...has long since disappeared.

One day, the silver-haired girl suddenly burst into a malicious smile that was completely different from the previous gentle and elegant smile, "Hey, are you guilty? Listen, you will be my slave from now on."

Seeing the stunned face of the young man, she narrowed her eyes, "Although I don't value that marriage contract, since it is the case, you should fulfill your fiance's responsibilities."

—Hate her, hate her.

Finally, leave her forever.

[There is one very important point, please see the author's words]

The author has something to say: Regarding today's couple... I thought I could analyze it clearly, but I found that I couldn't, so in case some people don't understand it, I will explain it here.

For Sakamoto Tatsuma, Yi Chuanyuu is not a shameful existence, but a responsibility he must bear.He has always felt that the relationship between the two is equal. When he first saw her, he felt distressed and had a good impression of her. Besides, he was nice to her, so he agreed to the marriage contract.

Of course, he misunderstood one thing, because in terms of identity, Xiaoxue, who is an illegitimate child, is not worthy of him, so Patriarch Yichuan never thought of letting this serious young master be a marriage partner. Who will Chen Ma be... Think for yourself, anyway, it is definitely not a good match compared to Chen Ma.

And even though he himself misunderstood, but since what has been promised cannot be reversed, merchants value credibility, and Chen Ma himself is also a very upright person, so he has always treated Xiaoxue as a fiancée very seriously.

He hoped that she would be happy, so after hearing that Yi Chuanxue was engaged to him, he received more malice than before, and felt very guilty and even disturbed, because he felt that his original impulse caused Xiaoxue's current situation.

So no matter how Xiaoxue tossed him, he would not resist, because he acquiesced to this approach.In addition, they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and they have gotten used to it after getting along for a long time, and Chen Ma also...well, actually likes Xiaoxue, so basically one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

——Why do you say that the maliciousness has become stronger?In the past, Xiaoxue was abused physically, but after she got engaged to Chen Ma, it became mental. What she was insulted was her personality.It looks glamorous on the outside, but it is actually worse than before.

As for Xiaoxue, although she said those people's words would not affect her, but in fact it still affected a little bit, for example, she felt that she was not worthy of Tatsuma Sakamoto.

Does she like Chen Ma?The answer is yes, after all he was almost the only source of her warmth at that time.

But Chenma is too kind, and Yi Chuanxue felt that she was not good enough for him, and blamed others for being too kind, so that she always kept her promise and kept her marriage contract.She felt that she was already black out of the mud (in fact, she is still a good girl in essence), so she shouldn't waste such a good person as Chen Ma, so afterwards, she tossed Chen Ma desperately, holding "maybe So he hates me so he will voluntarily give up the engagement' thoughts.

At that time, Xiaoxue even doubted herself that she would not enjoy happiness with peace of mind. She was always worried about whether she would be rejected in the future, so instead of being abandoned, it was better for her to die by herself, and the engagement was lost so that she would not have to worry about what might happen in the future. injured.

Both of them are idiots, one is too kind, the other has a shadow and is too low self-esteem, so a thing that is obviously good has become a shackle that has been tormenting the two of them.

Sakamoto Tatsuma is going to the universe, he thinks that Yi Chuanxue is not willing to go with him, and he probably won't return to Earth very much in the future, so he should simply break off the engagement, even if he repents and breaks the contract, he must give her back her freedom.Let her live dignifiedly without the constraints of those shadows and when she has the ability to control her own life.

But in fact, he still hopes that she can follow him, and that the girl actually has affection for him.

Yi Chuanxue, although she has not been as entangled as in the past after all these years, but the knot is a knot after all, Sakamoto Tatsuma said that suddenly, she feels that she has finally come, so don't care what her true intentions are, but At least it was impossible to say what was with him.

A final thank you... well, kind of a good guy card.It also marks that they have let go of the past, and are relieved anyway.

After all, this kind of distorted relationship is awkward even if they are together, it is better to break it and then stand up.

When I was writing these, I kept thinking about whether there is OOC, but Chen Ma didn't portray much in the original work, after all, he is the OP.So I followed the usual style of Gintama. For example, the male characters in Gintama are mostly responsible, but they are a bit machismo, and they are used to carrying all the things of their own women. For details, refer to the Sanye chapter.

In short, they are rather awkward in this kind of matter (except for Ju Chang), and they are secretive and refuse to speak out what is on their minds.

Moreover, what happened to Chen Ma and Xiaoxue was really not their business, there was a Yi Chuan family in the middle, so it was even more difficult to solve.

In the end, it was the hidden meaning of the words that Ah Guang said goodbye to Chen Ma, she would protect Xiaoxue well, and in the future she would be able to meet Chen Ma calmly again, if she could not do that, it meant that she would never I have no face to see him.

Well, it's a flag.

It is estimated that the next chapter will be able to complete the Banyi volume.

Probably the update frequency will be faster, so don't come in carelessly when you see the update prompt.And the previous episode, I will fill in all kinds of brain holes√
