[Gintama] Remember to neuter cats first

Heaven has changed.

The sky that was still gloomy a few days ago suddenly turned cloudy, and then it began to rain continuously.I looked up, and a drop of rain fell into my eyes, forcing my tears to flow out.

A tissue was pressed against my face, and I grabbed the hand that was pressing on my face. I was just about to start my daily bickering, but I saw Mr. Hijikata's face with a cigarette in his mouth.His dark blue eyes looked extremely gloomy under the double cover of drizzle and smoke, and I had a guess that something bad had happened.

"The general is dead," he said softly, exhaling a puff of smoke.

I didn't react right away. "who?"

"The Great General Conquering Barbarians, Tokugawa Momo, is dead."

"How is it possible?" My eyes widened. "Two days ago, Cheng Ye sent a letter to Kagula, saying that the general..."

"It's an assassination, with a poisoned needle hidden in the cuff, made by an old friend of the general, it's impossible to prevent it." He rubbed my head, and looked towards the sky like me. "Look, the sky is crying."

I stood there dumbfounded, my body stiff.Shigemo Tokugawa... just... died?Little Kagura and the others who talked about with a smile... just died like this?I am not familiar with him, I only saw him from a distance when performing protection tasks. He once said a word or two to me. At that time, he kept smiling and his tone was very gentle.But it's just such a person, he was still desperately protected two days ago, and he died after only one assassination?

His life is a house of all things, which was guarded by the members of the Zhenxuan team and the royal family. His life was snatched back from the hands of Takasugi and Kamui, but it was just an assassination, a death on the tip of a needle. Poison, he died?With his death, everyone's efforts will be in vain. With his death, the little light of hope that he carried will be extinguished. His life is not his own. Why should he die!

My eye sockets were itchy, and a stream of heat flowed out of my eyes, but it was fused together by the cold raindrops, and the temperature was taken away.

My right hand slowly touched the position of my heart, feeling the heavy beating as if a heavy weight was being pressed, and the trembling of fear as if it was hanging in the air at a critical moment.What is wrong with me?Is it sad?Why?Because of the death of someone I didn't really know well?It shouldn't be, among the people I know, so many people have died, but even Sanye, who I like very much, didn't make me feel so sad.

Then am I not reconciled?Because hard work wasted?But I didn't do anything at all!I just stopped the fight between Okita and Kamui, and I just wanted to get information about Shoyang from Oboro, and I didn't participate in their efforts at all!

Why?Because I feel scared?Human life is so fragile and fleeting. The highly poisonous steel needle pierced a few inches into my body only made me sleep for two days, but a living human being was killed by a silver needle hidden in the cuff. can die within hours.Will this group of Baga around me do the same?Although they have gone through many disasters so far, they have lived tenaciously like Xiaoqiang, but I also know that no matter how strong they are, they are just human beings. , it is very likely that you will never wake up again.And all I can do is to live forever, and engrave everything cruelly and clearly in my mind.

I feel that none of these are, but they are all.I'm still too young, I haven't even felt so many emotions, how can I understand these complex psychology.who?Can anyone tell me what is the change that happened to me?Why on earth is my chest so heavy?Why are my tears flowing down unconsciously?Why am I in so much pain right now, and what can I do to escape this?

A hand rested on the top of my wet head, and touched it gently.I raised my head and met Mr. Kamijikata's eyes as calm as the deep sea.correct!You can ask Mr. Hijikata!My eyes lit up, I opened my mouth, but slowly closed it again, slowly exhaled the breath I just took in my mouth, and bit my lower lip.The light went out in my eyes.

How could Mr. Hijikata have an answer to this kind of thing?No matter how smart he is, he is just a human being, an ordinary human being with a fleeting and fragile life.He is not my kind, and does not have the same immortal life as me, so how can he understand what happened to me?

correct!I still have my monster colleagues!And Songyang!Go ask him!He must know the answer!But where is Songyang?Go find Oboro!find him!There must be an answer!I got excited again, pulled Mr. Hijikata's hand away, rushed into the rain curtain, climbed over the outer wall, and ran like crazy.The cold raindrops hit my face and wet my hair, making it stick tightly to the side of my face.Water droplets flowed into my skirt, and my skin, which was hot from excitement and strenuous exercise, trembled.

Beasts hate rainy days the most. The rain washes away all the breath, and I can't smell any traces of crows.My enthusiasm was finally extinguished by the rain.I was drenched all over, leaning against the wall of an alley exhausted, gasping for breath.The very close eaves on both sides made a gap in the gray sky above my head. I sat down on the spot, leaning against the wall behind, and looked up at the narrow sky.

I suddenly felt lonely.

In the beginning, all I had was Songyang, but in the end, I could only have Songyang.Songyang, how long have you lived?How many deaths have you witnessed?How many times have you experienced such pain?Songyang, do you still remember the repayment I said?I have become a lot stronger, just wait, I will become stronger, and then I will send death to you.Don't be afraid, until the last moment of your death, I will be by your side, and then I will kill you in the same way as me, so that you will never have to worry about being lonely.How are you?Songyang, where are you?Songyang... I miss you so much.

The rain stopped, and the heavy clouds in the sky began to disperse. I lightly stepped on the walls on both sides and jumped up to the roof, looking up at the light shining through the gaps in the clouds.The air seemed to have been washed clean, leaving no smell, and naturally it was impossible to find the smell of crow feathers.I stood silently, letting the breeze blow over my body over and over again, bringing waves of chill, and the complex breath accumulated again.

I closed my eyes and sniffed it over and over again, as if I continued to search for the crow without giving up, and also as if I was deeply imprinting the familiar Edo atmosphere mixed with various creatures in my mind.It wasn't until the sunset was all over the sky that my outermost layer of clothes was almost dry, and then I took a step, shuttled between the eaves, and ran towards the village.

In the past, it was dinner time at this time, and the voices of soldiers talking and laughing could be heard in the cafeteria, but the garrison was dead silent, as if there was no one there.Was it an emergency mobilization or something?Maybe there will always be a few people to watch the house!

I called out, "Is anyone there?"

No one answered.

I turned up the volume a bit, "Is anyone there?"

Still no answer.A burst of panic surged into my heart, and I tried my best to scream, "Is anyone there? Where is everyone going?" I ran into the dormitory, opened a door, and saw inside It was a mess, the door of the cupboard was open, and things were turned over in a mess, as if they had been looted.

A door opposite opened and I saw a policeman in a different uniform looking at me in surprise. "Why haven't you left yet?"

I ran over as if I saw a life-saving straw, and grabbed his sleeve. "Where are the people here? Where are the team members of the Zhenxuan team? They were still there when we went out in the morning, why now..."

"What, don't you know?" He looked at me sadly. "There is no Shinsengumi anymore. The news came down from above, saying that the death of General Momo is your responsibility, the director Kondo has been arrested, and the Shinsengumi has been banned. If you don't want to leave, you will be imprisoned as a rebel immediately. , everyone has already left."

He sighed. "I'm here to seal the gate, so go away, or you'll be arrested as a rebel."

I don't care if I'm a rebel or not.Although I used to join the Shinsengumi to stabilize the law and order, but now, I care more about the team members who have lived with me for so long.I asked urgently, "Do you know where they went?"

"Who knows." He shrugged, "I used to come from the countryside, maybe I returned to the countryside."

I ran out like a gust of wind, ran for a distance, and suddenly stopped.

I have long forgotten where they lived in the first place.

The rain on the ground has long since evaporated, along with their footprints.Air passed through my nostrils and was exhaled, but I couldn't find any usable information.I stood there blankly, looking around.My premonition was originally for this time. Last time, I was kicked out of the private school by Songyang, and this time, I was thrown out by the Shinsengumi again.

correct!House of Everything!I'm not completely thrown out yet!Maybe they know something!I ran, aiming for Kabukicho.

All three of them were there, and there were four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, as if they were waiting for me to come over.

"That guy from Tufang asked me to take care of you."

"Where is he?"

"Don't worry, he's still in Edo, and they're all still in Edo. In a couple of days, if you walk around the streets, you might see them."

"Really? Great...I haven't...been...thrown...down..."

"Chen Luo sauce!"

"Chen Luosang!"

"Chen Luo!"

At the last moment before passing out, I heard three people screaming in panic.
