[Gintama] Harmless Hare

In Kabukicho in Edo, there is a meatball shop that does not match the atmosphere of the street.The small store occupies a small corner of Kabukicho, and the store is also very cold, and occasionally passers-by stop here, ordering a plate of three-color meatballs and a cup of barley tea.As for the reason for being so cold, probably no one would have guessed that the meatball shop is not in the commercial street but in this dusty place.

"Rou Zhensang~ Here's another pile of meatballs!" The man with a samurai bun drank the hot tea in his cup in one gulp, sighed and then yelled out in a moderate voice.

Rouzhen was originally holding a lollipop in her mouth and looking at the bright sky outside the shop in a daze, but she was awakened by this shout and muttered dissatisfiedly.Then he stood up and hugged the neat black hair hanging from his ears, and resigned to his fate, he opened the curtain and entered the kitchen.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Rouzhen pulled the wooden clogs and lazily put the plate containing the small and cute meatballs on the old wooden table, and sat down opposite the man.

Seeing the other party chewing the meatball with a happy expression on his face, Rou Zhen sneered "idiot" without giving the slightest bit of face.

"Hey! How can Rou Zhensang say that!"

"Ah Xing, eat quickly, and leave as soon as you finish eating, or the price will be doubled."

Hearing this, Ah Xing rolled all the balls into his mouth and chewed hard.

The meatball was stuffed in his mouth, his cheeks swelled up, like an orangutan.But he didn't swallow it all, but wiped his mouth indiscriminately, said "see you next time" vaguely, and hurried away.

The speed was as fast as if Rouzhen was chasing him with a kitchen knife behind him.

Rouzhen raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ah Xing's hurried back and raised the corners of her mouth amusingly.

This Ah Xing was a warrior, and he was down and out. Now that people have promulgated the "Abolition of Swords Order", the situation is even more difficult, and even eating enough has become a problem.

Fortunately, a few weeks ago, Rouzhen picked him up when he was on the verge of starvation when he took over the shop, and provided him with food for free with a very meager amount of money. (As for why Rouzhen didn't give him food for free, Rouzhen said that at least she had to charge some money when she first opened the business, so she couldn't lose money) But from then on, this Ah Xing relied on Rouzhen, and every time he used to get it from somewhere. The dirty steel shovels were exchanged for meatballs.

The only customer left, and the store became silent. The spring breeze occasionally blew, making the wind chimes at the door jingle.This is the peace that Rouzhen never imagined before.Indulging in this, Rouzhen inexplicably let go of Yetu's natural vigilance and fell asleep.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

Rouzhen raised her head subconsciously, and squinted her eyes to see a tall and thin figure wearing a bamboo hat.

"Boss, a stack of three-color balls." The voice seemed to be deliberately lowered.

Rouzhen stood up and yawned big, "Okay, please sit down wherever you want." Then she walked into the kitchen and brought a plate of meatballs that A Xing had made while she was there, put it on the table, and poured another cup of hot tea.

From the beginning to the end, the person didn't say a word except after ordering food, and even the voices of eating meatballs and drinking tea were so subtle that they could hardly be heard.

What a boring person.

It suddenly occurred to Rouzhen that she had promised Xinba to visit his class today, and heard that the people in the new job he had found were not bad.

So Rouzhen secretly thought of closing the door early to find Shinpachi when the guest left.

"Rou Zhensang~!"

The energetic voice could be heard from far away, Rouzhen supported her forehead, inadvertently caught sight of the man in the bamboo hat out of the corner of her eyes, and he also raised his head to look at Rouzhen.

Seeing this, both sides paused.

Here, Ah Xing realized that Rouzhen's words were just making fun of herself, and then realized that she was not full, so she came back so shamelessly.Just as she ran to the door out of breath, Rou Zhen pushed her out of the shop with a gloomy face.

"Eh? Eh? Rou Zhensang, what are you—" I'm not full!

"Ah, that, I'm sorry, Ah Xing closed early today." Rouzhen said indifferently.

Pushing Ah Xing away with great force, he quickly closed the door and locked it.

Then he sat opposite the man in the hat and put on a lazy face that he was familiar with.

"It's really...you haven't changed in a few years." The man in the hat sighed, this time he didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the voice from inside the hat was a clean male voice.

"No, it's changed." Rouzhen said with a smile, brushing up her black hair, "Look, it's straightened."

"He's grown taller too."

"Didn't you notice that your skin is also white~"

"and also...."

Rouzhen suddenly stopped talking.

This made the other party stop drinking tea, and looked at Rouzhen curiously.

"Weakened~"

The other party smiled, shook his head, and said nothing.

"Speaking of which, why are you here?"

Hearing Rouzhen's suspicious words, the man in the hat said slowly, "This is not the exclusive place for heaven and man."

Rouzhen was stunned, and after a few seconds, she suddenly burst out laughing: "Really, you really haven't changed at all hahahahahahaha!"

The other party still had a smile on his lips and did not refute.

Rouzhen also made fun of herself and became quiet.

After a long silence like this, the man got up, and the corners of his mouth became serious: "So Rouzhen, let's say goodbye first. We meet like this now, but next time, it won't be necessarily the case."

"After all, I can't watch my country fall into the hands of outsiders."

Saying that, he opened the door and strode away.

The wind chime made a "ding ding" sound again, and Rouzhen's expression was full of helplessness.

"It's like being treated as a bad person..." Rouzhen murmured, she just sat in this posture for a long time before she stood up and stretched herself, picked up the umbrella covered with a thin layer of dust, pretending to be brisk: "Then It’s time to find a new Baji.”

Pushing the door open, the dazzling sunlight of the Rouzhen cup fell down, and she frowned unsuitably, but she didn't lower her head, but forced herself to adapt to the sunlight.

It wasn't until the circles around her eyes were red that Rou Zhen turned her head and locked the door of the meatball shop with stars in her eyes.

I just turned my head and saw a wanted warrant posted on a telephone pole.

Wanted: The frenzied noble son—Gui Xiaotaro.
