[Gintama] Mr. Songyang that day

"If there are six people traveling together, wouldn't it be too crowded to take a car?"

Gui, the only one present who had obtained his driver's license through official channels, raised his hand to speak.The car he used to take Songyang back to the old private school was really pitifully dilapidated.

"Actually, there is also a tram going to Yamaguchi City—"

Before Songyang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Takasugi and Gintoki almost in unison.

"no!"

Songyang looked at their faces in surprise.These two men, who have been at odds since childhood, unexpectedly agree on some things.

Takasugi explained the reasons for disapproval to Songyang very gently and patiently.

"The environment of the tram is too noisy and chaotic, and it is really not suitable for the teacher. The students will think of a better way of travel for the teacher, and the problem of the vehicle can be handled by the students."

Yinshi's tone of retort was much more straightforward.

"What are you thinking, can you appear on the Shinkansen safely as these guys?"

At the end, he muttered very quietly.

"It's unrealistic to talk about it, and you're not a brat, what kind of private school and group building are you doing..."

When Xinnv proposed to revisit the old place of the rebuilt shrine, although several other people complained, Songyang responded most positively, and the disciples were unwilling to dispel her enthusiasm, but Yinshi was the one who opposed it the most. , even though he couldn't even come up with a decent excuse, just kept playing around like a kid having a temper tantrum.

"Don't go."

"I don't want to go at all."

"Why does Ah Yin have to participate in this kind of thing?"

"Ayin just doesn't want to go."

"There are so many reasons, if you don't want to, you just don't want to."

The position of the silver-haired man's refusal is almost unquestionable.

"……But……"

It is precisely because he knows that the man in front of him has been arguing every time since he was a child is not a whim or for no reason, so Songyang is a little at a loss.She still hasn't been able to adjust the relationship between her first two disciples, and she doesn't know how to read the hidden thoughts behind the series of "no".

"...I really want to go back with everyone..."

That piece of wheat field is still as golden and shining as before.

Has someone repaired the barn where it took a lot of effort to climb to the roof when looking at the stars?

The cherry tree by the river will bloom as scheduled this year. Will there be children playing and playing under the tree?

Obviously I promised to go back to everyone——

The feeling of loss can't help showing a bit.

The silver-haired man seemed to have been shocked by something, his shoulders stiffened suddenly.

Gui dragged him into the back room and talked about the truth, but he couldn't shake him. Now because of Songyang's words, his opposition has softened a bit.

"...Even if you go back..."

There are always hurdles in a person's life that cannot be overcome, but the same hurdles in front of Yinshi always come back again and again. Even if everything is settled, the ending of the story is indeed a dream of too much happiness for him, and these hurdles often Putting your head up in the bottom of my heart, it hurts my heart, and I don't know what to do when I feel uneasy.

if……

if--

In the countless parallel worlds, how many of them can he hold those hands exactly?

What would he be like if he didn't hold those hands?

- dare not think about it.

He understood from the very beginning that from the day the world collapsed, the past has become the shore that cannot be returned.

Thinking, this is good, what you see when you open your eyes is the world where this person is still around.

You can deceive yourself and others, and imagine that ten years of nightmares are just a dream.

but--

Silver looked up.

The eyes of the person in front of him staring at him have never been changed by time, they are still so gentle and focused, his tranced face is reflected in those light green pupils.

"..."

The silver-haired man muttered in an extremely low volume.

"……whatever."

"Eh?"

"...I'll ask Ah Yin after you guys come up with a plan that you can see clearly. Really, what kind of private school and group building are you doing when you're too old? It's childish."

Let's be convinced.

The problem of the way of travel was much easier to solve than Gintoki's awkwardness. The next day, Takasugi directly sent someone from the Ghost Squad branch to drive an expensive limousine over.

Song Yang, who had just pasted the holiday notice on the door of the gymnasium, came out and was surprised by the arrogance of her purple-haired disciple.

Gui caressed the brand-new shiny car body and couldn't put it down, Yin Shi was also jealous, and complained lukewarmly.

"Student Aishu, who has made a lot of money, must have been brewing for a long time for this opportunity to be proud at the class reunion."

Gao Shan didn't have time to talk to him at all, but the ghost soldiers who got off the car couldn't help arguing.

"This car was just picked up from the dealership yesterday... Mr. Jin Zhu would not do such poor things."

Damn it, the rich stinky dwarf!

Yinshi, the only student in the private school who equated with poverty, was suddenly speechless.

As the only student among the disciples who had obtained a driver's license through formal channels and had the experience of driving Songyang to Changzhou and back, Gui sat in the driver's seat as a matter of course.

"Let me see... the accelerator is here, the brake is here... put it in gear... why did you put it in gear? Oh oh oh this is automatic."

Gui slammed on the accelerator, and Yin Shi, who had just gotten into the car, bumped his head against the back of the front seat before he had time to fasten his seat belt.

"Hey, hey, wig, what kind of crazy driving skills do you have! Which bastard driving school made you graduate! How did you get safely to Changzhou, Songyang, by this guy?"

"It's not the devil it's Gui!" (Completely ignored.)

Songyang, who had fastened his seat belt in advance, tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.

"Hmm... that's it?"

"That's it! Songyang, you just indulged this bastard's wig!"

"It's not an asshole, it's Gui!" (Ignored x2)

Yinshi rubbed the bruise on his forehead with a bitter face, and went to provoke Takasugi again.

"Student Aishan, aren't you afraid that your car will be scrapped halfway before reaching Changzhou?"

Takasugi glanced at him coolly, and didn't bother to explain, the letter girl stretched her neck across a row of seats to look at the screen next to the steering wheel, and explained calmly.

"The car is already set up for autopilot and autopilot."

"Hey hey hey!" Gui held his face and yelled in surprise.

"Then I'm useless!"

"You can rap."

The obnoxious face next to him answered the words expressionlessly.Since he always had a paralyzed face, it was completely impossible to tell whether he was teasing the other party or calmly stating the facts, Songyang quietly stared at his profile for a long time, and only caught a trace of relaxation in his eyes when he turned his head.

As the leader of the former rival camp, Matsuyo knew that it was not so easy for Gintoki and the others to accept Oboro.However, by accident, she has a good relationship with her long-haired disciple. When they meet, they can not only chat with each other, but also occasionally joke like this casually.

She knew that the child was also trying to persuade Yinshi to accept Oboro's existence, but the effect was not very satisfactory.

Just like right now, as soon as she heard Lu speak, the smile of her silver-haired disciple faded away, she shrank silently to her seat, turned her head and did not speak again.

Although the low air pressure around him didn't affect Gui, Gui, who has always been an active person, put his fists to his lips solemnly and coughed.

"Ahem, there's no shamisen here, why don't I improvise for everyone? Just tell me how I reached a consensus with the United Army—"

Takasugi and Gintoki, who were live broadcasted the negotiation scene, turned dark.

The believer, who was also deeply poisoned by the election manifesto, raised her hand as if drawing a knife, and looked at Takasugi.

"Brother, do you mind if your car is stained red?"

"Please."

"——I am the Governor of Tokyo——I am not afraid of threats..."

Gui's loud voice became weaker and weaker in the bright knife light, and his expression suddenly became depressed.

"...Damn it, I, Governor Gui, gave in so easily..."

"The people of Tokyo should quickly change their votes, Ah Yin can't stand it anymore."

The voice of the silver-haired man came muffled from under the hair covering his face, and there was no change in emotion.Songyang was a little worried, and there was nothing he could do about his stubborn personality.

He always looked like this along the way, listening to Gui trying his best to play tricks and lively atmosphere without even raising his eyelids. Although he would complain from time to time, his breath was always depressed.

——Before twilight, the car drove into the original Izumo territory.

The new system reorganized and named all regions of the country, and Izumo also divided several prefectures. The area they are located is Tone County, which is next to the former Changzhou and now Yamaguchi Prefecture.

The areas that were not affected by the war are also undergoing rapid development. The roads that used to have only weeds and rocks have been repaired neatly, and large trees are planted in what should have been a barren space, and the neon lights of the city can be seen in the distance .

"Oh Hehe~ This place has changed a lot too."

Gui came to Cheung Chau not many times.

The failed war against barbarians ten years ago more or less left him with a knot in his heart.On the road in front of him, he followed the barbarians' troops forward with a single effort, and walked out of his childhood dream step by step, and could never turn back.

——The sockets of his eyes suddenly became sore.

In order not to be discovered, Gui tried his best to hold back his tears, maintaining his usual cheerful tone.

"It will take about half an hour to reach Yamaguchi Prefecture. I don't know how much it has changed. It was still the same when I went there last time."

——The pain of the past is an inescapable nightmare.

Those who are lost stay where they are, but those who are alive have to move forward.Back then, when they fought endlessly on the battlefield, their classmates and old friends who grew up together fell down one by one, and in the end they ended up with nothing.

It wasn't until ten years later, when hope was born from despair, that they were lucky enough to get their wish.

"Rescue the teacher from the cage of the shogunate!"

At that time, I was willing to give everything just for such a simple thought.

The most well-behaved student in the former private school sighed silently looking at the white clouds wandering in the sky.

You see, we did it.

Gintoki and I, Takasugi brought the teacher back.

Everyone's wish has finally come true.

——They arrived in Yamaguchi Prefecture at sunset.

It’s the tourist season recently, and the county is full of people and people coming and going, and the old houses in Hagi City are mixed with a few new buildings, and the sense of collision of the times is strangely and harmoniously blended together.

The big screen in the center of the city showed the scene of the inauguration ceremony of Prime Minister Tokugawa a few days ago. Gui glanced at it roughly, and belatedly realized that the communication technology of the new era had enveloped all regions of the country.

"I don't know if the citizens of Yamaguchi City will also recognize the resolute face of Governor Katsura who has dedicated everything to the dawn of the country~"

"You bastard, don't talk like the governor of Tokyo is sure it's you."

Eintoki, who was exhausted by the long journey, complained.

"Maybe there will be Endo, Shangteng, Saito, orangutan, such a sudden dark horse player Qingyun Zhishang--"

"The future governor of Tokyo will never allow such a thing to happen!" Gui yelled aggressively, taking out his mobile phone and typing, chanting words.

"My dear Elizabeth, when I come back from the mountain pass, let's all go and wipe out the Shinsengumi [-]rd team..."

It didn't change the style of criminals at all.

——Matsumoto Village is now a famous scenic spot in Yamaguchi County. A tourist group at the entrance of the village is sightseeing and taking pictures of the dilapidated gate of the village. When the car passes by, you can still hear the sweet voice of the tour guide.

"Now we have arrived at the famous Matsumoto Village in Harahagi City. The famous Ghost Army Governor Takasugi Shinsuke and the future Tokyo Governor Katsura Kotaro used to study at the private school in this village..."

"Hey, hey, what's going on that Ah Yin doesn't have any sense of existence in this historical background!"

The car parked intelligently on the side of the road.Yinshi listened to the guide's explanation on the loudspeaker from a distance, and complained dissatisfiedly.

"A good man like Ah Yin can't do it like this? Damn it!"

"Is my name, Governor Gui, already spread in my hometown? Hehehe~"

With a smug look on Gui's face, he patted Yin Shi's shoulder reassuringly.

"Student Yinshi, don't worry about such trivial matters. After all, you don't have the glorious record of negotiating with the coalition army without fear of hard work and successfully blowing up the enemy's toilet like me."

"Guanghui, you are so tall, you only have the stench of vomit from head to toe, you bastard!"

Seeing the lively bickering between the two of them, Songyang slightly bent his lips, and said with a smile, "Everyone is free to move around, just gather here later." He slipped away without a trace before even Oboro noticed it. trace.

Oboro just looked at the gate at the entrance of the village and lost his mind for a while, but now he came back to his senses, looked around in confusion, and said in a deep voice.

"...Where's the teacher?"

"...???"
