[Gintama] Remember to neuter cats first

After a few days in the camp, I almost suffocated.I'm not bored, there are always team members on rotation in the garrison, I can joke with them, and then laugh uncontrollably, ending with a violent cough and the team members rushing to pour water and take medicine.But I am a young cat after all, my energy is always too much, I need some physical activity to vent, (like some cats always run around the house aimlessly) even if it is damaged due to disease is also like this.

Mr. Hijikata's attitude towards me is always weird recently. I don't know if he hates me. Anyway, I can always feel the irritability in him.It's better not to bother him... I'm a little bit lost.When he was at Songyang, he never treated me like this.Sure enough, Mr. Hijikata is still different from Matsuyo...

Fortunately, at least Okita Sougo was there every night.Perhaps because of taking care of the patients, he was a lot gentler to me, but his nature remained unchanged.I can grab those little provocations and wrestle with him again. Without Mr. Hijikata coming to control the field, I can only control myself.

Today, Okita deserves an afternoon shift, so he was in the camp all morning.He is sitting not far from me right now, reading manga with headphones on.I lay on the corridor, rolling from side to side and back again, stretching out my ears for a while, and retracting them for a while.I'm so bored I'm going crazy.

"Hey, Okita," I shouted with a drawn out voice, "I'm going out! I think I'm cured!" Okita ignored me, and I continued to howl with a different tone: "I'm going out! I don't care I don't care I'm suffocating! Hey, did you hear that? Your right hand is suffocating from boredom!"

"Spring has long passed and autumn hasn't arrived yet, Mao-san, what is your name spring!" Okita finally pulled off his earphones, put down his comic book and walked over, looking down at me. "Everyone is very busy, we can't spare people to be your bodyguards."

"I think I'm ready!" After I finished speaking, I suddenly put my palms on the ground, raised half of my body, and kicked towards Okita's feet.He fell down at once, but rolled on the corridor, and fell into the courtyard, the knife in his hand was out of its sheath, and he held it in front of him.I sat up cross-legged and smiled provocatively at him, "I'm ready."

Okita put the knife back into its sheath, and turned his head at me, "Do you want to go to the training room for a practice session? If you really recover, I will let you go out, and I will talk to Hijikata-san."

"Okay!" What a great thing it is to have something to do, to have a fight with Okita, and to have a chance to go out!I got so excited that I ran towards the training room before I could put on my shoes.Anyway, wearing shoes is just to adapt to the habits of human beings, and I actually don't feel much difference.

As soon as I opened the door, I found that there was already someone inside.Mr. Hijikata stood inside, holding a bamboo knife in his hand, with sweat on his face, it seemed that he had been practicing for a long time.Since he scolded me that day, I haven't spoken to him again, and even avoided him actively, for fear of annoying him again.Everything is always emitting a variety of smells, humans can't smell it, but I can.The air was full of sweat and a bit of tobacco smell, but I felt that after Mr. Hijikata saw me, I smelled that restless breath again.

So I really hated him.Should I just apologize and get out?

"Mao-san, what are you doing standing at the door?" Okita's voice suddenly appeared behind me, and then his voice was tinged with sarcasm and provocation. "Oh, Hijikata-san, you are here."

Mr. Tufang looked like he was going to smoke, but just as he took out the cigarette, before he put it in his mouth, there was a sudden pause, and he put the cigarette back again.

Okita smiled behind me. "Maosang's nose is blocked, she can't smell it, you can smoke it with confidence."

Hearing this, Mr. Hijikata stopped the hand that was stuffing the cigarette, as if wondering whether he should take it out again.I raised a hand, "Arnold, the nose and the mouth are actually connected, so I can actually smell it, so..."

Mr. Hijikata finally stuffed the cigarette back, and I heard Okita chuckle again behind me.The atmosphere froze, and I felt that the smell in the air was not right again, it became very stiff, but there was a faint tension.I don't have very delicate and sensitive emotions, so I don't know what's going on now. Anyway, such an occasion makes me very uncomfortable and I want to leave quickly.With Okita stuck behind me, I started thinking about turning back into a cat and slipping out the window.

Seeing me standing barefoot on the ground, Mr. Hijikata seemed to want to say something, but held back.Okita suddenly spoke to break the silence, with an unspeakable provocation in his voice. "Mao-san, do you want to fight Hijikata-san?"

"Eh?" My eyes lit up, "Mr. Hijikata, is it okay?"

"I don't think Hijikata-san would refuse a team member's challenge, right Hijikata-san?" Okita smiled, and I saw Hijikata-san nodding his head.

"Then Mr. Hijikata, please use your own knife. My claws and teeth are very sharp. It is unfair to use a wooden knife." Mr. Hijikata did not answer, but silently picked up his own knife, pulled out the sheath, Then he threw the scabbard aside.I was trembling with excitement, showing an almost nasty smile, and my claws popped out, making my nails look like they had grown more than ten centimeters, and the four canine teeth had also grown quite a bit, reaching below the lower lip.I licked the tips of my teeth and stared at Mr. Hijikata intently.

He seemed to be a little shaken. Although the knife in his hand was still stable enough, his gaze was trembling a little. This is a big taboo among enemies, and it is impossible for Mr. Hijikata not to know.Could it be because he pointed the knife at his companion?I thought for a while and said, "Mr. Hijikata, even if I am injured, I can heal immediately, so please don't hold me back."

Mr. Hijikata still didn't answer. The smell in the air was too complicated for me to analyze.I can only guess that he was probably annoyed too much by me before, so he didn't want to talk to me.I bent my knees slightly, breathed out, and attacked first.

clang!

I heard the crackle of my claws and blade, and the tiny sparks of the rapid collision.Mr. Hijikata made a perfect block, but I faintly felt that something was wrong.I released the nails on my feet - I usually wear shoes, I don't use them often - the nails hooked the blade, swung my body in a huge arc, and kicked Mr. Hijikata in the head.He quickly turned his face away, but still left a small bloodstain on the side of his face.

Still something is wrong.

I frowned, and quickly made several attacks, and suddenly jumped back a few times, and the nails on my feet drew a few scratches on the ground.I gasped slightly, trying to shake off my dizziness and powerlessness.I know I'm not healed yet, but if I don't move a few times, I'll be suffocated.I stared at Mr. Hijikata, he still pointed the knife point at me steadily, and the very light bloodstain on his face seemed to be the only thing that changed on his body.I don't even think his hair is messed up.

"Why didn't you attack?" I tilted my head to look at him.

"You're still sick."

I was just about to refute that there is nothing to do with it, and that illness does not affect the discussion, but Okita stepped forward and asked, "Then Hijikata-san, do you want to have a discussion with me?"

"Okay." So Okita pulled out his sword and rushed towards Mr. Hijikata.

etc?What's happening here?Why did the two of them fight?Still using a real knife!Obviously, the wooden knives were inserted in the barrel over there, there were a dozen of them!

The sound of the collision of knives and knives sounded toothache, and both of them seemed to be serious. Although no one was injured yet, if the fight continued like this, someone would definitely be injured!What a mess!Are these guys still going to work?Or do they want to lie down and get rusty joints in the garrison like me, otherwise they will face the dilemma of being targeted by major criminal groups as soon as they go out?Hey, you don't have my ability to regenerate and live forever!

I wanted to tell them to stop, but I thought it would be useless and make me look stupid, so I might as well join the fight and force them to stop.

I aimed at a timing, and when the two of them took a few steps apart and rushed towards each other again, I released the claws on my hands and feet, trying to imitate Jackie in the movie, and use the props on both hands to hold him handsomely At the same time, he kicked away the attacking knife from the other side with his foot.But my illness affected my performance. Although the nails of both hands perfectly blocked Okita's attack, my foot was a few inches away, and the knife cut off the sole of my right foot obliquely.There was a sharp pain, but I was used to it, and I knew that in the next few seconds, there would be an annoying tingling sensation, and then my wound would heal.

I ignored the wound, withdrew my movement, and began to train the two people in front of me. "What are you two thinking? Did you eat something bad? You have to change to a wooden knife if you want to spar, right? It's fine with Okita, Mr. Hijikata, why are you messing around with me!"

But none of them listened to me, but kept staring at my right foot. "Hey, Maosang, your feet have been bleeding!"

"Ah, yes, it should be fine now...Huh? Eh——! No good? Why?" I quickly lifted my right foot, and saw that the entire top of my foot was stained red with blood, and my wound Still bleeding out continuously.I looked at my wound in surprise, and even pinched the sides of my feet to test the depth of the wound.It's not deep, only a few millimeters, but why hasn't it healed?

"It hurts when I go!" I finally remembered something, and the throbbing nerves reminded me of the first pain. "Wow, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, hey, maybe it doesn't hurt that much, ah no, it still hurts, it hurts, it hurts! This is the first time! Why?"

I sat down on the ground, not because of pain, but because of curiosity.To be honest, I have never felt the pain that lasts for more than half a minute after the flesh is cut. It is very different from the pain of a broken bone. It makes me feel fresh. This freshness almost makes me ignore it to a certain extent. pain.I tried to turn back into a cat, trying to see if it could heal faster, but I found that it was indeed a little faster, at least the blood coagulation had occurred, but it was slower than usual.I changed back again and continued to stare at my wound.So strange, why is this?

Mr. Hijikata seemed to want to hug me, but Okita grabbed me first. "Mao Sang, don't touch the ground with this foot, I will carry you back to the room and apply the medicine."

"No need, it will be fine on its own. I want to see how it grows. I haven't seen it yet!" The cat's curiosity came up, and nothing could stop it. I didn't care at all. Okita just stared at my wound intently, but was suddenly hugged.Okita asked me if I was out of my mind, and carried me to the room while holding me.

I thought about turning back into a cat and slipping away from his arms, but then I thought that I couldn't run fast like this now, and maybe I might be pinched by Okita on the nape of his neck.Shinsuke Takasugi has already made me suffer enough, I don't want this guy Okita to pinch my sore feet.So I poked my head over Okita's shoulder and watched the blood dripping down my way.I have never realized that such a small wound can bleed so much at one time.

I saw that Mr. Hijikata was still standing in the training room, with his head down, and his forehead covered almost all his expressions. I could only see the drooping corners of his mouth.I sniffed the air, but I was already a little far away from him, and the smell of my blood was much stronger, so I couldn't analyze his emotions.
