[Lord Gintama] Overlooking the Throne

☆、Chapter 15

When Misaki Mayumi said to her happily: "Yoshida-san, you are fine, it is really great.", Yoshida Chiha suddenly felt that she didn't know what expression to use to face her.

It would be too strange if she continued to pretend that she had exposed her true nature a long time ago, right?

Knowing from Katsura Kotaro that it was Mayumi Misaki who found Yoshida Shoyo by mistake and saved her, Yoshida Chiha was silent for a moment, and bowed hesitantly under Katsura Kotaro's shining expectant eyes: "Thank you very much." Misaki-san."

"Ah, no." Misaki Mayumi nervously explained, waving his hands in a panic, "It's all a coincidence, and, besides, Yoshida-san saved me, and I was so selfish that I wanted to leave Yoshida-san and Sakata-kun behind."

Reminded by the girl, Yoshida Chiha was slightly stunned when Kotaro Katsura said that he saved "her" and not "them", and blurted out: "What about him?"

"Eh?" Misaki Mayumi was stunned for a moment, but didn't react.

"Wig-kun, am I the only one brought back by the teacher?" Ignoring Misaki Mayumi who didn't answer for a while, Yoshida Chiha simply turned his head and asked Katsura Kotaro directly.

Although Gui Xiaotaro is a stickler, but a stick also has the benefits of a stick, at least he can answer whatever he has, and he won't beat around the bush or hesitate, which is so troublesome.

"Yes." Nodding, Gui Xiaotaro was just about to add something, but saw the girl suddenly lifted the skirt of the kimono and ran out in a hurry. Looking at the direction the girl left, Gui Xiaotaro was stunned for a while, and finally After realizing it, he continued, "But Qianyu, the teacher is not in the study, he has gone down the mountain again..."

I don't know if it was his illusion, Katsura Kotaro always felt that Yoshida Chiha seemed to have changed a little after he came back this time.

But if you want to ask him what aspects of Yoshida Chiha have changed, he can't answer.

"Teacher Shoyo is not here." Before going down the mountain, Yoshida Shoyo specially asked Shinsuke Takasugi, the god of learning, to help him substitute for the class. For this reason, Takasugi Shinsuke, who was previewing books in the study and searching for information, heard hurried footsteps coming from the door , the hand turning the paper stopped, and said without raising his head when someone came in through the door.

There was no response for a long while.

Takasugi Shinsuke raised his head in doubt, the morning sun was clear and gentle, the purple-haired girl who was holding the door seemed to be in a panic on the way here, she was panting slightly, her long hair was slightly messy, and she was sweating lightly Cen Cen, she looked at him, but her eyes didn't fall on him.

"What's wrong?" Takasugi Shinsuke folded the important page, then closed the book and asked.

"..." After regaining consciousness, the words on the lips were suppressed by an unknown emotion, revealing an uneasy expression, "Gaoshan-kun, have you seen the teacher? Last time I sneaked down the mountain alone , seems to have brought a lot of trouble to the teacher, I, I want to apologize to the teacher properly!"

Seeing that the girl didn't look like she was lying, Shinsuke Takasugi pondered for a while and said, "Teacher, he went down the mountain. The matter of the ghoul that the villagers entrusted to him last time has not been resolved. Regarding the matter of you going down the mountain without permission, you Don't take it to heart, the teacher won't blame you."

"Huh?" The girl was a little surprised, "Teacher, did he really say that he doesn't blame me?"

"Yes." Obviously unwilling to get too entangled in this matter, Takasugi Shinsuke responded casually, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, his eyes flickered slightly, showing a slightly complicated expression, Then he looked at Yoshida Chiha.

Yoshida Chiha rarely saw a hesitant expression on Takasugi Shinsuke's face.

In Yoshida Chiha's view, Takasugi Shinsuke is a person who is suitable to be an ambitious person. This is not to say that Takasugi Shinsuke's nature is so bad, but because once he decides on one thing, he will unswervingly do it Go on and implement your own principles from beginning to end.

So after seeing this hesitant expression on Takasugi Shinsuke's face, Yoshida Chiha was really curious: "What's wrong, Takasugi-kun."

Raising his hand to his lips and giving a fake cough, Shinsuke Takasugi's expression flickered: "Qianba, can you cook?"

Pausing almost imperceptibly, Shinsuke Takasugi turned his gaze away, and added somewhat unnaturally: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, I'll just ask casually."

"..."

Yoshida Shoyo is absolutely indispensable to Matsushita Village Juku.

At least if Yoshida Shoyo is not around, eating becomes a big trouble.

Most of the private schools only enroll boys. Although Yoshida Shoyo is open-minded, but the atmosphere is such that most of the students in the Songxia Village School are boys who "practice the gentleman and cook far away".

"But wig-kun, you are such a person, wife, ah, no, you are virtuous! Don't you know how to cook?" Seeing Misaki Mayumi who was also asked to cook, he stopped in a panic and showed his sword drawing technique Chiha Yoshida turned his head sideways to look at Katsura Kotaro, a passer-by classmate who was planning to cut vegetables in the same posture, with doubts in his eyes.

"I'm a samurai!" Standing straight, Gui Xiaotaro gave a wrong answer.

"Mr. Songyang is also a samurai, but he can cook." Without hesitation, he pierced Katsura Kotaro's words, and Yoshida Chiha ignored the door and shouted, "Let's eat instant noodles together." She was beaten by the rest of her companions. Student B, a passer-by with a bruised nose and swollen face, stepped into the kitchen, picked up the kitchen knife on the cutting board, looked at the expectant eyes of the students, and hesitated, "Let me tell you first, I'm just trying it out, I don't guarantee that it will be delicious. "

"I, I'm not very good at cooking." Mayumi Misaki who was choosing vegetables over there raised his hand and said weakly.

"It doesn't matter." Katsura Kotaro said with a smile, "Anyway, if Chiha and Mayumi fail, we will still have soba noodles to eat, and Chiha and Mayumi are both girls, and they look like they can cook well."

"..." Girls are not directly related to cooking, are they?

Besides, she doesn't need to eat, cooking or something... It's a superfluous thing in the first place.

After the students of Matsushita Village School left the kitchen with anticipation, Chiha Yoshida and Mayumi Misaki also started working here.

Choose vegetables, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, stir-fry.

Misaki Mayumi saw that every movement of Yoshida Chiha was so proficient, his eyes were surprised, and he sighed: "Yoshida-san is really amazing."

"Hmm." With a hesitant response, Yoshida Chiu took the dishes out of the pan and put them on a clean plate and said, "I looked at the recipe in the teacher's study before I came here, and I followed it... I don't know How does it taste, why don't you try Misaki-san?"

"Eh? Is it really okay?" Looking at the delicious fried shredded pork on the dish, Mayumi Misaki nodded again and again, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the dish.

"How?" After all, the food was for everyone to eat, watching Misaki Mayumi's expression anxiously, Yoshida Chiha swallowed nervously.

"...Mmm." Putting down the chopsticks, Mayumi Misaki was silent for a moment and said, "I'd better fry some fried rice with eggs, it should be enough for everyone."

"..."

Mayumi Misaki can cook, but only limited to egg fried rice and onigiri.

Katsura Kotaro can cook, but only soba noodles, and only he can eat soba noodles.

As for Yoshida Chiha... Although the food she made looks exactly the same as the recipe, but I don't know why the taste of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty in the dish is completely reversed, so I can't eat it anyway.

After eating rice balls and egg fried rice for four or five days in a row, amidst the complaints and eager anticipation of everyone, Teacher Songyang finally came back.

On the day Mr. Songyang came back, the weather was fine, with soft white clouds floating in the blue sky, light pink cherry blossoms falling in the yard, Yoshida Chiha, who was resting on the small table in the room, did not know why, suddenly Suddenly woke up.

There was the sound of running in the corridor outside the door.

"Teacher Songyang is back!" Gui Xiaotaro, who almost ran past, held on to the door frame to stop, panting.

"..." After a long while, he came back to his senses in a trance, Yoshida Chiha stood up and stretched his waist and said, "Ah, that's really great, wig lords, you finally don't have to eat balls any more. .”

"Well, that's right... ah, that's not right." Gui Xiaotaro who nodded abruptly shook his head again, and said eagerly, "That's not what I want to talk about, Mr. Songyang is back, and he brought back a child, Chiba, don't you want to see it?"

"Isn't Wig-kun a child..."

"It's not a wig, it's Gui." Katsura replied resentfully, and Kotaro Katsura picked up the sleepy Yoshida Chiha and ran towards the door, saying as he ran, "Anyway, Chiha, come with me!"

"Eh? Wait, I haven't put on my clogs yet, wow—" Yoshida Chiha, who was busy getting the clogs, slipped at the foot of the wooden ladder, and rolled down the stairs with Katsura Kotaro.

"Chi, Chiha, are you okay?" Katsura Kotaro, who was also covered in mud on the ground, quickly patted the dust on his body and stood up, ignoring the bruises on his body, and went to pull Yoshida Chiha, "I'm not on purpose."

"I'm fine." Yoshida Chiha stood up and put his hands behind his back, hiding the wound caused by friction on the ground.

"Gui, it's not okay to be so reckless."

The man's familiar and gentle voice sounded like a sigh, Yoshida Chiu looked sideways, his pupils suddenly dilated in surprise.

Beside the gentle and jade-like man was a white-haired boy who looked a bit lazy.

The cherry blossoms fluttered and fell to the ground.

Seeing the girl's expression at this time, the boy showed a slightly depressed expression, and muttered: "Tch, troublemaker, why are you showing such an expression, Ah Yin, I'm not dead."
