[Gintama] Remember to neuter cats first

I couldn't release my claws and teeth, and I didn't bring a short knife. In desperation, I made a stupid gesture of blocking between the two of them.Because of the original angle, I turned my back to Gui and faced Okita.The speed at which they drew their swords was too fast, even though I had already dodged between them, their swords were all facing forward.

The point of Okita's knife stopped in front of my eyes, and the cold light on the blade made the corners of my eyes hurt.A strand of forehead hair was cut off, and I watched them fall down with distress.There was a tingling pain in the back of the neck, but it immediately turned into an itch, which disappeared in less than two seconds.The collar snapped softly and fell to the ground with a thud.I saw that Okita lowered his head slightly, his forehead hair blocked his eyes, but the curvature of his chin was tense, and the originally round curvature became sharp, which made me a little scared.

There was the sound of sheathing the knife behind me, I turned my head to look at Xiang Gui, and let the point of Okita's knife rest on the back of my head. "Gui, let's go, don't bother me recently. This is the third time I've said this sentence, and I don't want to say it for the fourth time."

"Chen Luodian..." Gui looked at me deeply, and that gaze made me feel extremely heavy.I turned my eyes away, unwilling to look at him again.Vaguely, he seemed to sigh. "Wait for me." After saying this, he left quickly.

I relaxed, and my scalp touched the tip of Okita's knife. I felt a tingle, but then, I heard the sound of the knife being sheathed. "So, you were with him the night before yesterday?" Okita asked, his voice sounded the same as usual, but I smelled something in the air that I couldn't name, which was slightly murderous. Different extremely dangerous breaths.

Without looking back at him, I sighed and nodded.Up to now, there is no need to hide it from him.The atmosphere fell silent, and the surrounding air seemed to condense, becoming as heavy as a thousand weights.I thought maybe he was waiting for me to speak.

"You..." I took a deep breath and turned to face him. "Believe me, I am absolutely loyal to the Shinsengumi, and I have never betrayed a sliver of information to Gui. I just... how should I put it, I just occasionally monitor the enemy's situation as a cat. I didn't catch him because He really didn't do anything to threaten public security, he's just a badass, if..."

"Are you defending him now?" Okita raised his head slightly, under his bangs, one eye was fixed on me.Obviously his knife was still in its sheath, but his gaze made me feel the sting of the knife tip touching my throat.My breathing stopped, and my eyes widened almost reflexively because of the tension.

"How is that possible?" I blurted out. "I just..." I hesitated again, I didn't know what to say.Say I'm Gui's old acquaintance?I know what he is like?Then my motives for joining the Shinsengumi would really be suspected.Simply, I simply gave up explaining. "Okita, it doesn't matter what you think, it doesn't matter what you want to do to me, it doesn't matter if you cut seppuku according to the law in the game, or you are expelled from the Shinsengumi, I... I hope you don't tell Mr. Hichikata. I don't want... I don't want to Let him down."

"Mr. Hijikata? Huh." He smiled, and I felt a sad breath disperse. "Why is Mr. Hijikata again? I am standing in front of you. I am the one who saw the whole truth. Why are you not rushing to explain to me, but still thinking about him? Is he that important to you? ? Or, my thoughts don't matter at all?"

"No..." I retorted reflexively, but I didn't know how to proceed.Okita's thoughts are to me... Although it's not insignificant, it's definitely not my main concern.The point is, isn't this guy looking at me all the time?Haven't you always wanted to tame me?He pinched my handle, shouldn't he make good use of it?What is this question now?

"Last night, you were in Dokata-san's room, right?" He grinned again, but he didn't laugh, looking very ironic.I was surprised: "How do you know?"

"Of course I know." He said, "I went to look for you again last night, but there was no one in the confinement room, so it's easy to think that he let you out." He showed that ironic look again Laughing is almost uglier than crying. "I heard you said that you like him very much."

"That's just out of respect!" I retorted, "Mr. Hijikata has always taken care of me and taught me a lot of things that I didn't know before. I am very grateful to him, so I like him very much."

He didn't answer, just walked up to me silently and squatted down, picked up the collar that was broken by Gui.He held it in his hand and looked at it. "Anyway, in your heart, I'm the kind of person who will use your handle to threaten you this time."

"……"Is not it?I watched Okita stuff the collar into his pocket, as if he didn't intend to say anything to me, which made me a little startled.This guy's breath is not good, is he... all right?

I walked up quickly and followed him. "Aren't you going to blackmail me?"

"Intention." He didn't look at me, and walked forward quickly. "If I don't do this, you won't feel at ease. I don't have the idea of ​​watching your seppuku and waiting for the wound to heal itself, and I don't intend to make you a jobless vagrant or a person with lofty ideals to add hidden dangers to law and order. Stay with me today Let's wait until I figure out what to ask you to do."

"If I don't stay in the Zhensengumi, I will go back to the countryside and I don't expect to show up before you die of old age. I can't do things that disrupt the law and order, and I can't join the people who fight against the barbarians. Don't look at me like this, my former The teacher has cultivated my sense of justice. If you have no ideas, I can accompany you to the training ground to fight, and if you are in a bad mood, I can accompany you to drink... Ah, you are not allowed to drink when you are underage, Yinsang said If you're in a bad mood, you can eat something sweet, or let's go eat Pa Fei, I can treat you..."

"Maosang, can you shut up first?" Okita paused, then walked forward quickly.I obediently shut my mouth and tried to keep up with his pace.The atmosphere is really too tense. I usually don't talk much, and I just said a lot of words just to find peace of mind for myself.

He took me to the back of the garrison and told me to wait outside the wall, and he climbed in through the wall.After a while, he turned out again. He had already changed into a suit of clothes, and threw me a women's kimono.The clothes were not mine, I took them up to my nose and sniffed them, there was nothing on them except the smell of Okita and laundry detergent.The clothes looked brand new and had only been worn two or three times by previous owners, if any.

Why would he have a women's kimono?Is it a relic of Mitsuba?But the height gap between Mitsuha and me is still quite large, and this dress is completely my size... I looked at Okita, and he didn't seem to intend to explain the origin of the kimono to me at all.Seeing me looking at him, he said, "Come on, skip work with me."

I hesitated. Is it not good that we both skipped work?It is common for Okita to skip work, but I am still very dedicated, and I have basically never neglected my duties.He snorted sarcastically. "Why, don't you want to cause trouble to your beloved Mr. Tukata? I have already asked Brother Zhong to help us both."

I sighed inwardly, gritted my teeth, took off my jacket, shook off the kimono, and put it on.

"Wearing a uniform inside and a kimono outside, are you planning to heat yourself to death?"

... I had no choice but to start unbuttoning my shirt, and suddenly remembered that this was outside. Although there were no outsiders around, Okita might feel awkward.I just wanted to jump on the wall and enter the village to change clothes, but I was stopped by Okita. "Don't go in, just deal with it here." He pulled me, took a few steps into a small dead end, and blocked me inside. "I'll help you block it, you change it quickly."

I turned around and quickly put on the kimono. When I turned back, I saw Okita leaning against the wall, looking at me expressionlessly.He is quite strange. Other human men and even women will have the awareness of avoiding suspicion. This is what Mr. Hijikata told me, but this guy doesn't seem to have it at all.I tugged at both sides of the skirt with my hands, and said reluctantly, "I don't know how to wear a belt."

"Is this your attitude of begging for help?" I thought he would say so superiorly, but he just gave me a blank look. "Are you Baga? Come here." I raised my arms, let him wrap his hands around my waist, and helped me fasten my belt.Immediately afterwards, I saw him pick up my uniform, quickly crumpled it up, and threw it over the wall.The exclamation of the team members came from inside the wall. He grabbed my hand and ran wildly.

We spent the entire afternoon walking aimlessly.Maybe he has a purpose, but I don't see it at all.We didn't have lunch, he didn't seem in the mood, and I was too embarrassed to bring it up.On the way, I went to the vending machine to buy a bottle of water, but he snatched half of it and drank it, and I couldn't complain about it.

Lack of water, lack of sleep, plus running around without rest, I am already exhausted.In my memory, only when I first left the private school in Songyang did I have such an intense trek. At that time, I always went to the verge of death and then waited for the immortal body to recover a little bit and then infinite loop until you find a source of water or something to eat.From the morning until the evening, I realized that he and I had arrived at the seaside, and looking back, the conspicuous space station in Edo had become something like the outline of a distant mountain.

The setting sun shone on the sea, like a sea of ​​blood, quite spectacular.When my feet stepped on the sand, they sank a bit when I exerted force. On this kind of land, it takes twice as much effort to walk as compared to ordinary ground.I thought, if he still had to leave, I might be tired and lying on the beach.Fortunately, he also looked tired.

He told me the first words since he ran away, and told me to wait on a bench, and he went to buy some water and came back.Seeing his back going away and entering a canteen 50 meters away, I breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the bench.I hung my head on the back of the bench, watched the orange-red clouds move slowly in the breeze, and fell asleep almost instantly.
