[Lord Gintama] Overlooking the Throne

The lonely moon is bright, illuminating the cherry blossoms that have fallen all over the ground, revealing a long and slightly lonely feeling.

Corresponding to Misaki Mayumi's panic, it was the peaceful and gentle moonlight that night, shining on the few people who were sleeping peacefully with wine jugs under the cherry blossom trees in the yard.

"What's the matter with you?" Yoshida Chiha stretched out his hand and pulled Mayumi Misaki up.

Mayumi Misaki stumbled to his feet, glanced at her in a daze, and suddenly asked, "Where is Mr. Songyang?"

"In the village at the foot of the mountain, we went to investigate the dismemberment case." Yoshida Chiha looked puzzled, "Don't you know?"

"Hurry up and find Teacher Sendai!" Clutching Yoshida Chiha's arm, Misaki Mayumi panicked, but in Yoshida Chiha's astonished expression, Misaki Mayumi shook his head quickly, denying himself, "No, no! It must be too late, let's go to the dojo and get the wooden knife!"

"...Well, okay." Although she didn't know what was going on, but seeing Misaki Mayumi's frightened look, Yoshida Chiha, who knew she was definitely not joking, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

—— "It seems that the rumor is indeed true. The Misaki family, who are praised as being able to change fate against the sky, have you guessed your own destiny?"

Yoshida Chiha, who was half-pulled by Mayumi Misaki, who had just run past the cherry tree, heard a hoarse and strange man's voice coming from behind him, the whistling sound of being torn apart by the wind.

"..." The screams were all blocked in the throat, and Yoshida Chiha suddenly threw him to the ground, and Misaki Mayumi, who narrowly escaped the blade, watched helplessly as the man wearing the straw hat slashed diagonally without stopping. Down.

"Kang Dang" - the sound of close combat was very ear-piercing. Yoshida Chiha turned his head slightly in a daze, and saw Sakata Gintoki standing in front of them. The wind suddenly picked up, the cherry blossoms danced wildly, and Sakata Gintoki had a samurai sword with a cold light flowing in his hand. Reflecting the frosty moon tonight, it seems to be freezing the air.

"Hey, why are you still standing there? Ah Yin, I am very tired from maintaining this posture." He pretended to be dissatisfied and complained to wake up the thoughts of the two of them. The straw sandals under his feet were half buried in the mud. The power of the child is obviously a world of difference.

"..." Pulling Mayumi Misaki up, Yoshida Chiha, who had just left the place, was shocked by the man's huge strength when he saw Sakata Yin, and his tiger's mouth was numb. He didn't relax his vigilance either, and quickly slashed down before Sakata Gintoki adjusted his posture.

"Sakata-kun!" Yoshida Chiha grabbed Misaki Mayumi who screamed and almost rushed out, Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotaro, who temporarily picked up a short bamboo pole as a weapon, stopped in front of Sakata Gintoki at the same time, using the bamboo pole as a knife , work together to chop down.

"Yo, Yinshi, what's the matter with your wobbly footwork? If you're drunk, give up and leave!"

"Nah, I'm Drunken Sword, Drunken Sword, the more drunk you are, the stronger you get."

"Yinshi, Drunken Sword sounds like a bitch, why don't you change to Drunken Sword or something?"

"What is a drunken knife? Drunk? This sounds very suitable for you, wig, since you are drunk, you should leave the stage quickly."

The bamboo pole chopped on the man in the straw hat was completely harmless to the man, but the sharp blade in Sakata Gintoki's hand was another matter, hidden under the feint attack.

The blow was successful, although it was only a cut on the man's arm, but seeing the blood gurgling from the man's arm, the few people who were complaining to each other not only showed no expressions of horror, but laughed instead.

"Exit or something, it really doesn't work, right Takasugi, wig."

"Heh." A chuckle was the answer.

"If you can't defeat the enemy here and run away in embarrassment, how can you be considered a samurai!" The upright and dignified one is naturally Katsura Kotaro who often talks about "Tomorrow in Edo".

It's just that, on this bloody night, when he said these words with a blank face, Sakata Gintoki and Takasugi Shinsuke did not make fun of it for the first time, but responded seriously: "Yes."

The fight is imminent.

The knives held by children are like toys to adults, what's more, except for Sakata Gintoki, the knives in the hands of others are not knives, but just bamboo poles.

Mayumi Misaki panicked and ran to the dojo to get the wooden sword, although Yoshida Chiha thought that even if she brought the wooden sword, it would be useless.

Maeda Tsubasa, Ueno Ryo and the others sneaked away directly through the back door.

Are you looking for a teacher?

It's useless.

If this continues, everyone will die.

After the bamboo pole was suddenly cut off by the man, looking at Shinsuke Takasugi who was kicked on the tree trunk by the man, and then slid to the ground, Chiha Yoshida's eyes narrowed, and she turned and ran away.

The back looked a little panicked.

"Heh, you are indeed Songyang's disciple." Glancing at the girl's fleeing back, the man wearing a straw hat said in a gloomy tone, "If you were born a few years earlier, you would have been able to make a splash on the battlefield, but sadly Yes, the companions you have tried your best to protect have abandoned you one by one, and you are about to end here."

The sound of breaking through the air came with the smell of blood, and the man who turned sideways, let Gintoki Sakata rush over to block Shinsuke Takasugi, who stood up slowly while holding on to the tree trunk coughing blood, and pointed the tip of the knife at The man was right, his breathing was a little short.

And Gui Xiaotaro, who was standing behind the unscathed man, pointed the bamboo knife at the man, closely watching his every move, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Gorgeous orange fireworks suddenly lifted into the sky, illuminating the inky sky as bright as day.

That's a flare.

Takasugi Shinsuke, who was the first to react, changed his face slightly. The man smiled and said, "It seems that they have already succeeded, so I don't need to play with you any longer. Farewell, disciples of Songyang."

Just like what the man said, he was just playing.

After the flare was lifted into the air, the man who was stared at by the three suddenly disappeared from their sight, and then appeared behind Katsura Kotaro.

It was based on absolute strength, a unilateral crush.

"wig!"

"wig!"

Accompanied by the exclamation, there was the sound of the knife sinking into the flesh, the pupils of Gui Xiaotaro who had been hacked by the man casually widened, and he fell down holding the bamboo knife tightly.

With a ferocious expression like a ghost, Gintoki Sakata charged forward with a knife, but was lightly caught by the man, and when his wrist was turned, blood spattered everywhere.

Finally, the man stopped in front of the unarmed Takasugi Shinsuke and raised his knife.

The sound of the knife sinking into the flesh and tendon was especially clear in such a night.

Beads of blood slowly slid down the icy blade with moonlight flowing on it.

Everyone was stunned, their pupils dilated, and the astonished man turned his head with difficulty.

The girl who fled in a hurry just now came back quietly, holding a samurai sword that was sharp like mud in her hand.

Glimpsing the pure white snow scabbard on the girl's waist, the man's eyes were tearing apart: "Yuedao Yuehua... What are you guys—"

Flipping her wrist, the girl spun the blade that had been pierced near the man's heart, and then pulled it out. Watching the man slide down to the ground like a puddle of soft mud, she shook off the blood stains on the knife, and put the knife back into its sheath. .

The sprayed blood dyed half of the girl's body red, tick-tock, slipped down her long purple hair, and seeped into the mud.

Yoshida Chiha didn't know how much she looked like a ghost now.

She didn't know that at that time, only Sakata Gintoki saw the weird smile on her face that she didn't even notice when she stabbed the knife into the man's body.

"..."

The reason why Mr. Songyang returned late was that when he returned to the Matsushita Village School, he happened to meet the space pirate Haruyu who stunned Mayumi Misaki with a drug and took her away.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help." Teacher Shoyo bandaged the seriously injured Katsura Kotaro and Sakata Yinshi, while Yoshida Chiha and Mayumi Misaki stayed in the kitchen and prepared medicine according to the prescription given by Shoyo teacher.

Fortunately, most of the students in the private school are boys, and they usually like to play and fight, so Mr. Songyang usually has some simple medicinal materials, but these medicinal materials are very important for Katsura Kotaro and Sakata Gintoki who were seriously injured. , After all, it’s still a drop in the bucket, so Maeda Tsubasa and Ueno Ryo, after helping Yoshida Chiha and Misaki Mayumi move firewood, went down the mountain to ask for herbs.

"..." After pouring the medicine into the bowl, Yoshida Chiha glanced at Mayumi Misaki, who was looking restless, and asked with his head tilted, "Are you really sorry?"

"Eh?" Misaki Mayumi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with certainty.

"That's good." Putting the medicine bowl on the tray, Yoshida Chiha had a calm expression, "No one would have thought of something like this happened tonight, and I even killed someone because of it, but I don't care about it at all. Understand why this happened to me, Misaki-san, do you know?"

"..." Mayumi Misaki showed a startled and uneasy expression, opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.

"Is this your guilt and apology?" Yoshida Chiha remained expressionless, "It's really cheap, selfish guy."

Well, at this point, she is the same.

Although she killed someone, she didn't actually feel any fear or sadness, as if it was a matter of course.

But she deliberately brought up this matter, and using this, she managed to see a shaken look on Misaki Mayumi's face.

"I actually..."
