[Gintama] Mr. Songyang that day

Gintoki in the driver's seat slammed on the accelerator.

The dying engine let out a final tearing roar, and then fell silent.

"...Is it out of gas? Or is something stuck in the wheels?"

Seeing that he was still trying to turn the car key to try to start it, Songyang could not help but sound a reminder.Oboro in the co-pilot opened the door and got out of the car, checked the wheels one by one, and the fuel tank, and shook his head when he came back.

"The road is smooth and there is still gasoline left."

"Damn it, what kind of broken car did you buy for the wig!"

Yinshi irritably patted the tattered steering wheel, and was sprinkled by the peeling skin flakes from the leather case, his face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

...so why do you have to refuse to borrow Jinsuke's car...

Songyang couldn't help complaining, Yinshi immediately puffed up his face into a pufferfish shape.

"I don't want it! Even if Ah Yin walks away behind your back, he won't drive that kind of short-minded man's car to show off his wealth!"

In order to accompany Songyang on this long-distance trip of unknown duration, Yinshi deliberately spent a month to get his driver's license, but he was desperately unwilling to touch the car sent by Takasugi, so he justified it.

"Songyang, you don't know, Ai Shan is the kind of usurer who pays ten for ten! Don't owe that guy any favors, Ah Yin won't give him anything!"

...When the words come to silver, the mouth will always become strange.

Songyang tried to explain to this shameless silver-haired disciple.

"Jin Zhu simply wants to help, after all, this is my own responsibility..."

Although it is only an unconfirmed possibility, she has no way of knowing whether the object she wants to find can return to the world from the depths of the dragon's veins.

But what I still can't let go of is the sentence left to her.

(Prove it to my old self.)

If anyone has ever reached out to their past self—

"...In a few days, I plan to take a long trip."

——On the way back to Tokyo from Yamaguchi Prefecture, Matsuyo announced the news to a group of disciples with a smile.

The air fell into an unbearable dead silence.

All the disciples stared at her with burning eyes, the smile on Songyang's face could hardly hold back, and it took a long time for someone to speak.

"……long trip?"

The transfer student Believer raised her hand cautiously, and asked questions like a cannonball in her usual calm tone.

"Where is the teacher going and how long will it be? Can I go together? Can I only bring donuts in my luggage?"

"Well...the destination and the time can't be completely determined. It may be a month or two, or it may be a few years. Before... Gintoki told me that some things need to be said, so I won't say it again. Keep your thoughts a secret from everyone."

Songyang thought about it for a long time, and also waited for a long time. Only when her disciples' lives were on the right track and they let go of their past ties, could she do this with peace of mind.

"...Frankly speaking, I'm going to get Xu back this time."

Songyang knew that it would be difficult for them to accept her thoughts for a while, so he didn't urge them and waited quietly for their response.

Only then did the letter girl understand.She wanted to speak and stopped for a moment, as if she still had unspoken questions, but she swallowed forcefully.

——After the end of the Great War, a certain name that once cast a nightmare shadow on the Shinsengumi and the Mikai group—although the owner has paid the price for her crimes on the surface, there are only a very small number of people who know about it Only then did I realize that it might not end there.

virtual.

Did the woman who existed in the world for thousands of years in the form of dragon veins really disappear in the dragon veins?This group of disciples was also unable to determine the answer.

A few months ago, Gui had pulled them into a meeting without telling Songyang, and talked about the information he got from Gaoshan.

"Xu...maybe he's not dead yet."

The only governor of the ghost army who was not present is still running around in the endless universe in order to find a way to completely end the sad fate of their teacher.

"Teacher, she... is now separated from Xu into two people, so it is impossible to confirm whether Xu's body will be resurrected from the dragon's lair."

Gui sighed deeply, looking a little tired.

"Takasugi doesn't know much about the specific situation. He and the Seventh Division have a cooperative relationship in name, and they might not be on the opposite side on the issue of Xu. This kind of thing is enough... well, let's not digress, what do you think?"

The other two white-haired senior brothers were expressionless and did not speak. They didn't know what they were struggling with, and only Xin Nu opened their mouths to break the deadlock.

"Does the teacher know about this?"

"...Takasugi doesn't intend to let the teacher know...but I think the teacher has considered this, after all..."

After all, they are still the same person.These thousand years are the years that the two have lived together, and they are also bound by fate at the same time. As disciples, even if they only agree with Songyang, they will not be able to change this fact after all.

"Teacher... Maybe he will think about bringing Xu back. I think so. The trouble is that Takasugi immediately turned off the communication as soon as he heard me say that. I can't guess what he has planned. That's it..."

Among their group of disciples, Takasugi may be the one who hates Xu the most, and also the one who is most obsessed with breaking the connection between Xu and Songyang.

"In short, if the teacher doesn't take the initiative to mention it, we should pretend that we haven't heard about it. If the teacher is willing to tell us one day, we should support the teacher's idea."

Gui's words were meant for the two silent men, and the believer girl didn't know if they listened, but at least when Songyang mentioned this matter as they expected, the most difficult three in the private school None of them opened their mouths, and Gui Yi, who was mentally prepared in advance, also showed an indescribable expression, and asked hesitantly after a while.

"The teacher's half body... if it grows out of other dragon's lairs, will it suddenly become an adult, or will it grow up slowly from a baby's state?"

...What a messy question.

Xinnv wanted to complain, but it was inconvenient to speak out, but Songyang was seriously answering this question that didn't find the point.

"If there are no accidents, it will turn back into a baby."

"Oh oh oh! It's a baby! Isn't the teacher turned into a young mother with a child! It's very disturbing in every way—"

It is the collision of double fragrance and taboo!

Gui fell into a state of excitement of unknown meaning, holding his face and twisting around, and then pressed his head on the steering wheel with a cold face, and suddenly hit the ground and became dizzy.

"Sorry, teacher."

There was a murderous intent towards Gui in those deep eyes.

"I can't help but want to attack this guy's head."

...Sounds like a death threat at all.

Oboro didn't express a clear opinion after closing his hands, and Gintoki was rustling in his sleeves at the moment, not knowing what he was looking for, but the most worrying Takasugi was unusually calm, and asked unhurriedly.

"How did the teacher plan?"

He thought that if he talked about everything with his disciples, Songyang would no longer have any worries, and would seriously talk about his plans.

Dragon veins are all over the surface of the planet, and there are hundreds of dragon lairs that spew out energy. Fortunately, there is a connection between her and Xu, which can greatly reduce the scope of the search.

"...Then the map Ah Yin got is useless..."

Yinshi murmured in an extremely low volume, and Gui, who had just woken up, caught a glimpse of a section of paper hidden in his sleeve, and quickly stretched out his arms to pull out the paper, ignoring Yinshi's flustered stop, and brushed the paper on the Spread out in front of everyone.

"Wow, did Yinshi mark the location of the dragon's lair on the map? You're so careful!"

Songyang was startled, and looked over.

Yinshi avoided her gaze, with a slightly secretively revealed embarrassment on his face, and he was still cursing at Gui.

"Are you sick with the wig? Do you think this is a perfect test paper? Be careful when you snatch it, Ah Yin will beat you up!"

——I had already guessed that she would have such an idea.

Thinking of the figure that fell into the dragon's vein and dissipated, and the look on Songyang's face at that time, Yinshi was not surprised by the choice she made, nor did he resist it that much.

Thinking that it would come in handy one day, he got the map from the witches and sisters.In order to get this map that marked the location of the dragon's lair, Yin Shi ran for the two of them for a whole month. He was so exhausted that he couldn't get any money.

Unexpectedly, after working so hard to get it, it is actually useless.

The silver-haired man sighed silently, pretending to be disapproving.

"This thing is useless—"

"It's useful."

Song Yang interrupted him softly.

...how could it be useless?

She felt a little hot in her eyes, and she didn't want to shed tears in front of her disciples, so she rubbed her eyes in a concealed manner, pretending to look down at the place marked on the map.

"Now, I can also determine which positions I want to find. It's really great."

--that is really good.

The child who stood in front of her and protected her from malice and offense has never changed, and she can still return to this child.

"Yin Shi obviously helped a lot, and has always been reliable."

"Oh."

Yin Shi was a little happy to be praised, and he scratched the back of his head in a fluttering manner and giggled.

"Since Ah Yin is praised as being so reliable, Songyang, do you feel a little bit moved—"

Takasugi in the back seat with a dark face grabbed the curly hair on the back of Yinshi's head and smashed the white head on the back of the front seat.

"I'm very sorry, teacher."

There was a gloomy and fierce light hidden in his single green pupil.

"I just think this guy's brain needs to be washed."

...Is it an illusion, the pictures seem surprisingly similar...

——In order to agree on who to accompany Songyang on this journey, Gao Shan deliberately parked the car on the side of the road, and humbly asked Songyang to wait in the car, so that the group of disciples could have a private discussion before making a decision.

Seeing that the disciples all looked nervous as if they were facing an enemy, she was really embarrassed to say that she didn't plan to invite anyone to go with her. After all, believers had a nine-to-five job, and Oboro's body hadn't recovered yet. Jinsuke and the universe The affairs here are busy, and Kotaro is also in the critical period of the election...

No one seems suitable to go with her except Euntoki.But think about it, Gintoki's Master House is relied on by the people of Kabukicho, and perhaps it is not suitable to leave for such a long time.

She tentatively proposed to Takasugi.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I go alone—"

"No."

This time Takasugi and Gintoki refuted her again with one voice.

"Don't even think about it."

When Yinshi has no expression on his face, it usually means that he is not in a good mood. Even his eyes are lazy, and his tone seems to be nonchalant, but there is a bit of coldness that cannot be concealed.

Gao Shan still maintained that calm appearance, and gently persuaded Song Yang.

"...As a student, you can't let the teacher face such a dangerous situation alone. There must be someone by the teacher's side."

"It's just looking for someone, how could it be dangerous."

"In short, the teacher needs someone to accompany him."

...and in the end it's still...

The teacher still made such a choice.

Obviously... that is the only existence in this world that can bring harm to the teacher, but cannot be erased.

It is clearly a nightmare that has imprisoned the teacher for 1000 years, and it is difficult to break free. It is an existence that will bring harm and pain to the teacher.

Apparently... he was just a little bit close to finding a way for his teacher to escape his endless fate and be free.

Then he can only make a corresponding choice——

The purple-haired man quietly lowered his eyelids.When facing his teacher's concerned eyes, he gently hooked the corners of his lips, and took away the dark shadow in his eyes.

"...So the candidate you negotiated is Gintoki and Oboro?"

...it's no surprise.

Song Yang looked at Xiang Hao worriedly, but he was still reluctant to bring him in.

She didn't know how much time her eldest disciple had, but at least in the limited time, she hoped that this person would not give up the life she wanted for her.

"It's not like that, teacher."

The gray-haired man looked at her tenderly.

He smiled fondly at his teacher as he grew accustomed to the first years he had spent with him.

"For me, the teacher's choice is my choice."

No matter what the road ahead is, he will accompany his teacher along the way.

After many years, he was finally able to muster up the courage again to grasp the happiness he was looking forward to.

—— On the day of departure, Takasugi, who was in the universe and could not accompany him, sent the soldiers of the Ghost Soldier Division to deliver the car as usual.

Yinshi talked a lot about not letting people drive in. He tried to persuade Songyang to be alert to the sinister intentions of a certain purple-haired dwarf.

"That's why it's even worse! That kind of bastard who pushes his limits! He's that Takasugi! That Takasugi who will quietly find an excuse to eat you from head to toe—hey senior brother over there! You should say something!"

It is rare for him to ask for help outside the court, which really surprised Songyang.

I don't know what kind of consensus these two white-haired disciples have reached, so I coughed lightly and expressed it tactfully.

"Premium cars may consume a lot of fuel. The road we have to go is relatively remote, and it is not easy to meet gas stations."

As soon as the soldier from the Ghost Squad who brought the car opened his mouth, he shrank back in fright at Yinshi's ferocious stare.

"Where does this car come from and where does it go, Ah Yin has a way to take you there."

Yinshi, who was so confident in boasting about going to Haikou, actually managed to get a car that looked familiar.

Songyang knew at a glance that the car was borrowed from Gui. Although the only time this car was put into use was to take Songyang to and from Changzhou, the whole body was full of vicissitudes of the times. During the journey, they were tossed and complained, and finally, the car was completely scrapped after supporting them for more than half a year.

They are located in the middle of the mountain where there is no way to see the sky and the ground, and there are almost no other pedestrians or vehicles on the road to give a hand.

Song Yang took out the map and compared it carefully, and unexpectedly found that their current location was only a few hundred meters away from one of the destinations of the trip, so he called his two disciples to come and have a look.

"The nearest dragon's lair is just ahead, why don't we walk there and have a look before making a decision."

"A Yin has no objection."

Yinshi, who had escaped from the sea of ​​misery, got out of the car in a hurry, exhaled all the car exhaust accumulated in his lungs, and chanted and complained.

"This lump of iron, Ah Yin, threw it away on his own initiative! The guy with the wig will also thank me for disposing of the garbage for him."

Seeing the miserable appearance of the car, Songyang felt a little distressed, and muttered.

"Maybe it can be fixed..."

"Okay, okay, let's go and see the situation first."

Yinshi hurriedly opened the car door to urge her to get out of the car, his arms were dangling by his side, he cast dangerous gazes several times, intentionally or unintentionally, he wanted to hold Songyang's hand, but she ignored him. clean.

"The direction is... ah, go straight this way first."

Songyang led the way with a map in his hand, and the two white-haired disciples who had a lukewarm relationship could only obediently follow behind her.

The feelings in the hearts of the two cannot be conveyed clearly for the time being.
