[Gintama] Mr. Songyang that day

Songyang led Takasugi slowly towards the private school.

They were crossing an invisible wheat field. When Gao Shan raised his head, he saw the same boundless starry sky above his head. The moonlight looked hazy, and the starlight was like someone blinking, and the light danced in her eyes. crystal clear.

"After returning to the private school, can I squeeze with Gintoki Kotaro for a while? The bed in my room should be enough for the three of you."

"I..." Gao Shan carefully grabbed her sleeve and shook it lightly. "Can you not go back first..."

Songyang was startled, and realized that the child in front of him had just escaped from the suffocating environment, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

This child has been living so hard all this time, and finally gained freedom. Walking under the stars like this may be an experience that he has never imagined before.

"So, where does Jinsuke want to go?"

"I want to see the stars."

Gao Shan grabbed her sleeve and didn't let go, with a cute expression.

"I want to watch the stars with my teacher."

"Look at the stars..."

Songyang glanced at the surrounding environment, and the corners of his eyes curved into a nice arc.

"follow me."

She took Takasugi to an abandoned low barn in the wheat field, squatted down and motioned Takasugi to lie on her back.

Gao Shan didn't refuse this time, and put his arms around her neck quietly.Songyang easily climbed to the top of the barn, put Gao Shan down and lay down on the roof very casually.

"I came here to look at the stars in Yinshi last summer. I didn't expect to find this place."

Takasugi imitated her posture, put his hands under his head, and lay down on his back.

What caught the eye was this fragmented halo, beautiful like a vast picture scroll.

Gao Shan watched intently, even if the people around him mentioned the name he hated, they just snorted softly and murmured in a low voice.

"That guy is lucky."

"Is it a good fate? I think fate is still in your own hands. Jin Zhu can now have his own destiny."

"Well, the teacher is right, now, I can also..."

free.

Destiny is freedom.

"Is the mother-in-law of the private school a relative of the teacher?"

Takasugi asked.

Songyang patiently told him the story that happened when he first arrived in Matsumoto Village. Gaoshan listened carefully, nodding from time to time, with a look of emotion.

"Grandma Shan... is a bit like my old nanny. She is also the kind of fierce-looking person who keeps stuffing me with gold flat candy behind her back. When she left, I didn't have time to look at her."

is not possible.

At that time, he was forced to swing the knife over and over again in the dojo, and his mother was seriously ill, and he only had time to sneak out once or twice to visit the sick, and had to go back to the dojo to face his father's wrath.

His father didn't think he should be distracted by a servant, and ordered him to kneel in the shrine for a day and a night without eating. When Mammy passed away, he didn't even finish half of the time. When he ran out crying, The servants of the family had already carried away Mammy's body and buried it somewhere.

So he was punished for shedding tears easily, and was hung on a tree in the yard, but no one would secretly send him rice balls and Jinpingtang.

——From then on, these are no longer there.

The purple-haired child cautiously looked at the smiling teacher beside him, with unconcealable admiration in his eyes.

"Teacher... can I stay by your side all the time?"

He no longer needs to be bound by the shackles of a "samurai" alone, aimlessly wasting his life that should have been free.

He has walked into this gentle moonlight.

It was this person named Yoshida Shoyo who took him by the hand, step by step, and led him away from his cage-like home to a place of light.

"Can I, teacher?"

"Jin Zhu, there is no possibility, only if you are willing."

The man stared at him intently, with a smile on his face.The moonlight shone in her beautiful green eyes, filled with dots of light, and he saw his little self clearly in these eyes.

"Are you willing to follow me and be an ordinary warrior who may not have a monarch, may not have a sword, and will not have a prominent status. This is not like a warrior at all?"

"I am willing."

In this life, this is his belief.

——As a result, she and Takasugi fell asleep on the roof of the barn without knowing it. When she opened her eyes again, the sun was shining on the center of the roof, and there were workers walking around under the wheat field. Say hello to her.

"Isn't this Mr. Songyang from the private school? Are you taking the students to see the stars on vacation? It's already noon."

"Yes, it seems that I accidentally overslept."

Bad, she thought.

Yin Shi got angry again.

——Songyang took Takasugi to the private school in a hurry, just passed through the torii gate and stepped on the stairs, when a person jumped down from the big tree behind them.

"Ayin slept for a long time this time."

Holding the knife in his arms, Yinshi walked up to Songyang expressionlessly, stood still, and blocked her way.

"Teacher Songyang, don't you mind if Ah Yin asks for a time?"

He was speaking honorifics, but it was in a tone of exasperation.

Being stared at by Yinshi so scorchingly, Songyang rarely felt a little guilty.

She patted Takasugi on the shoulder to signal him to go back first, Takasugi looked up at Gintoki who had a gloomy breath.He paused, not obedient.

"Sakata Gintoki."

For the first time, Takasugi read the name of the guy in front of him that he hated so much.

"It's because I want the teacher to stay with me and not go back to the private school for the time being, causing her to oversleep outside. You shouldn't treat the teacher with that attitude."

"what?"

Yin Shi squinted his eyes up and down to look him up and down, and sneered.

"You mean, Ah Yin should take his grievances on you? All right, see you at the dojo."

"Come on!"

The two children were in a heated fight, and before Songyang could react, he saw the two of them rushing towards the dojo aggressively. Songyang was one step behind them. , It is hard to tell the outcome.

Gui floated over like a wandering spirit with thick dark circles under his eyes, and yawned big at Songyang.

"Ha... Teacher, you are finally back."

"Xiaotaro, you...you haven't slept all night, have you?"

"No la."

Gui waved his hand and pointed at Yinshi. "That guy didn't sleep all night. We both waited at the door. In the second half of the night, I couldn't hold on and went to bed first."

"Is that so... I should apologize to Kotaro and Gintoki."

"I'm fine."

Seeing that she looked guilty, Gui couldn't help but want to divert her attention and asked.

"Is Takasugi's affairs all right?"

"Yeah." Song Yang smiled and nodded. "Jinsuke will live here from now on—by the way, where is Kotaro?"

Thinking of what she learned from Gao Shan yesterday, she couldn't help but feel a little pity for the studious child in front of her.

"Want to live here?"

"me……"

Gui's big black and white eyes showed a state of emptiness, and after a long while, he shook his head slowly.

"I still want to be with my mother-in-law..."

"I know." Songyang didn't force him, just stroked his smooth black hair to express his understanding.

"The private school will also give you a place to sleep. If you have any activities, you don't have to go back at night."

All good kids.

She thought that as long as she could watch these children grow up happily and safely, she would not waver at all.

——"Silver time brat is having trouble with you again?"

Seeing Songyang frowning slightly and nodding, Grandma Shan could not help laughing.

"This little devil, he hasn't grown much, but his temper is getting bigger and bigger every year. I'll just say you, I'm too used to him, and now he's controlling you to death."

"This time, it was indeed my fault. I didn't come back in time, and I made Yinshi wait all night..."

Granny Shan had already found out the reason from Gui, who seemed the most obedient, and shook her head disapprovingly.

"Really, didn't you tell that kid to go to bed? Who can blame him if he waits. In my opinion, this kid just thinks that the new kid will snatch you away. He's jealous. You might as well pay more attention to that kid. The new kid named Gao Shan, after hanging out the silver for a few days, he has to come to you eagerly. You are a teacher anyway, so you have to put on some airs of a teacher."

"Sure enough, I still need to find a chance to apologize to Yinshi—"

"You girl, you didn't listen to my words at all!"

--no the same.

She always thinks so.

The relationship between her and Yinshi is neither so much like an ordinary teacher and student, nor so like an orderly family.

To her, Yinshi was more like a friend who happened to meet her in this chaotic world. Although he was young and a little mischievous, she knew that the child was just expressing his concern to her awkwardly.

Yinshi used to skip class in the morning, and ran away when she saw her coming to arrest someone. Songyang picked an afternoon when he and Gao Shan practiced against each other, and squatted secretly at the door of the dojo. When I picked up the silver, I ran to the back room, not forgetting to greet everyone who was stunned.

"Let me talk to Silver Toki, you guys should practice duel on your own in this class first."

"!!! What are you doing, idiot Songyang, quickly put Ah Yin down!!!" Yin Shi's wailing sound was getting farther and farther with the sound of their leaving footsteps.

Songyang quickly closed the sliding door of the back room, and sat down at the door. "Okay, Yinshi has no place to escape now, so you can listen to my apology carefully."

Yinshi sat cross-legged on the floor and only glanced at her.His blushing face seemed to be still steaming, he didn't know if he was shy because he was hugged by Song Yang in public, or he was made more angry by Song Yang's sudden attack.

In short, he looked depressed and stared at the ground without saying a word, with his hands folded.

Songyang has nothing to do with him, so he can only tell him the words of apology in a good voice.

"Yinshi, I know I shouldn't leave you in the private school for a night without coming back. I already know I was wrong. Can you really not forgive me at all? I promise you any compensation you want."

"whatever?"

Yinshi raised his head lazily, his face was still expressionless, those listless eyes gradually tended to evolve into dead fish eyes.

"A Yin wants red bean dumplings every day for a year, a bottle of strawberry milk every day, going to the city at least three times a week to eat strawberry parfait, pocket money increased from 500 to 1000 a week, and going to see the stars with A Yin every week. I came back at noon the next day, and every time I had to hold hands and walk around in front of the short man, and the short man and wig man let Ah Yin go to sleep on the ground—"

At first, Songyang carefully took out the paper and pen to record each line, but finally felt that the more he said, the more outrageous he was, so he simply put down his pen and made a gesture to get up.

"Yinshi doesn't want to forgive me at all, I think I'd better leave."

"Hey!" Yin Shi thought she was really going to leave, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull her. "A Yin is obviously joking!"

"A joke?"

Songyang raised his smiling face and looked over, Yinshi knew that he had been deceived again, and turned his head to run behind the curtain, but Songyang's hand was tightly grasped and he couldn't escape, he couldn't move forward or retreat, stood there, holding a His face was blushing to the point of smoking from the top of his head, and he suddenly glared over.

"No credit!"

Yin Shi glared at her with extreme annoyance.

"Big liar! You clearly promised to come back soon, Ah Yin waited for you all night! Waited until noon! You and the short man just took a leisurely walk hand in hand, what is this, Ah Yin's whole body It’s so damn green that people are glowing green! So green that no one will find you if you hide in a tree! Ah Yin might as well dye his white hair green! How can such a short man be more reliable than Ah Yin! From the beginning It has nothing to do with the height and size of the feet!"

Songyang couldn't understand his nonsense accusations, but felt that he was so angry that he looked like a white-haired puffer fish, which was too cute.He also heard that he was going to dye his hair green, and the appearance of a green-haired puffer fish appeared in his mind. He wanted to laugh but was afraid that Yin Shi would get even more angry, and tried to even out the arc of the corners of his lips.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but let's forget about dyeing it green or something. It's still better in silver."

"It's a metaphor! A metaphor! Why are you still holding back your laughter! You don't understand how sad Ah Yin is!"

Songyang really couldn't understand what he wanted to express, remembering what Grandma Shan said, he could only express his thoughts to him vaguely.

"I won't ignore Yinshi just because Jinsuke is also living in a private school."

"...who would be angry for such a childish reason."

The silver-haired boy turned his head away and sighed heavily.

"You don't understand at all..."

Songyang was stunned.

Yinshi's shoulders were trembling slightly.Song Yang almost thought that he was going to cry, so he quickly picked up his face to look at it, but there were no tears on his face, but his eyes were slightly red, and his expression was exhausted and helpless.

"I'm scared."

He watched Songyang calmly, saying every word.

"I'm afraid."

This was the second time he didn't use his usual self-proclaimed name.

"I'm really scared."

"I don't know what you will face alone that night, and I don't know when you will come back. I can only move the bench and sit at the door and wait for you, watching your way back, and keep comforting myself. You are very happy." Strong, nothing can stop you."

"You are very strong, I-A Yin knows that you are strong, I know that you are stronger than many people, but Ah Yin is not that weak, Ah Yin can also help you, please don't do this anymore, okay--don't do it anymore Let Ah Yin wait alone and can't do anything—"

Don't leave me alone again, okay?

"I just—A Yin just wants to face with you—"

"Silver time..."

Suddenly being hugged tightly by the silver-haired boy, Songyang was still a little dazed, until she heard the boy's uncontrollable sobs from her chest, she suddenly came back to her senses.

This time Yin Shi really cried into a ball in her arms.

She suddenly felt an unstoppable soreness in her chest. The soreness welled up in the corners of her eyes and flowed into her heart along with the blood, making her unable to tell whether the pain really happened to her body or just from her imagination. .

For thousands of years, she has never had such a strong urge to cry.

Silver hours are special.

For her long and boring life of 1000 years, Yinshi was the most special one from beginning to end.

but--

She still couldn't involve this child in her dark and boundless life.

In the end, she could only hold the child tightly, stroked his back over and over again, kept apologizing to him, comforting him, and only hoped that he could regain his former radiant appearance.

"I'm sorry, Yinshi, I'm really sorry...I won't make you wait so long..."

It's just that he couldn't give him the promise he wanted.

——This night, she saw a long-lost existence in the sea of ​​consciousness for the first time.

When Songyang opened his eyes, he was actually startled, and he didn't realize where he was for a while.

The background was endless black, and she was face to face with a face she knew so well that she could see it every day when she looked in the mirror. Songyang subconsciously stroked her hair and touched the corners of her mouth.

"Well, so I combed my bangs up and looked like this when I wasn't smiling. Sure enough, I still can't get used to it."

The corner of the other party's mouth twitched, and the sinister expression on the same face fell into her eyes.

"What an unexpected greeting, Yoshida Matsuyo."

As if calling for a lover, she read her name in a tender tone, but her eyes were blood red to the extreme.

Songyang responded to her calmly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The last time I saw the other party was still in Sagami, because I woke up too fast and I didn't have time to say a word to the other party.

She also doesn't know when this void existed in her consciousness. The long millennium is really boring. She doesn't remember how many split personalities have been held in her mind. While nagging, since she escaped from Nai, for a long time, Songyang thought she had disappeared, but the other party appeared beside her again.

"Isn't it surprising that I'll show up?"

Xu showed the same smile as her.But when the smile didn't reach his eyes, his face was indifferent and without warmth.

"you--"

"While you were dreaming innocently, I solved the other voids. Now, it's just me and you."

Xu happily watched Songyang who was gradually frowning.

"You, who know so much about the organization you created, foolishly lost once, and now you have involved two innocent children in the whirlpool—"

Song Yang's face froze.

"Knowing what kind of trouble the child named Takasugi Shinsuke will cause, but insisting on snatching the punished child back from his family, I am looking forward to what kind of expression you will show when you lose it again. Don't rush to show cowardice , let me-." The red eyes narrowed slightly.

Songyang reflexively avoided Xu's face-to-face slash, and his expression became completely stern.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"I have a suggestion for you."

Xu slowly and gracefully inserted the knife engraved with the swastika symbol back into the scabbard obliquely, and raised the corner of his mouth.

"Next time you see me, you can try to kill me, otherwise—"

(You would die innocent.)
