[Gintama] The Story of Me and Curly Yaksha

My Story with Curly Yaksha 20

Seeing that Miyamoto Aoi easily defeated the ronin he had found, the leader of the bandit group wanted to back down a little, but at the moment he had no choice but to shoot. Even a genius swordsman was just a girl, so it would be too embarrassing to go back like this.

"Damn it! Let's go together!" The leader of the bandits shouted loudly, and all the bandits drew their knives and surrounded Aoi Miyamoto after his words.

And Zhiyi retreated a long way back after Aoi Miyamoto defeated Ronin, and Yongshan also retreated with her.A person as smart as Zhiyi certainly knew that after Aoi defeated the ronin that the other party had found, the next development would be a gang fight from the other party's embarrassment. She had the foresight to retreat in advance. As for being surrounded by the opponent.

She only wanted to see Miyamoto Aoi's strength on this trip, and it was obviously impossible for her to fight so many thieves.Even if she was lucky enough to survive in the anti-barbarian army for a few months, her swordsmanship was still at the bronze level.She is almost always in the logistics force, and when she encounters battles occasionally, she almost always has the help of other comrades-in-arms.

Miyamoto Aoi is breaking through the encirclement with one person's strength, while Zhiyi and Yongshan have long been outside the encirclement, and are now running away with all their strength.

While running, Zhiyi recalled Miyamoto Aoi's magical skill of killing people with a blunt knife just now, and couldn't help but start to compare what he had heard in the barbarian army before.She murmured: "Ah, speaking of it, Ah Yin seems to have said before that weapons are not the most important thing. A really strong swordsman can cut iron objects with a wooden knife. I thought he was just running the train just because of his jump syndrome. It turned out to be true."

"Who is Ah Yin?" Uncle Yongshan who ran away with her couldn't help asking.

"He's my boyfriend....Well, he should be considered a boyfriend, and he has kissed him, but he hasn't had a date. Speaking of dating, when does the judgment boundary start? Confession? Kiss?"

"Are you still thinking about this at a time like this?!" Yongshan complained speechlessly, "Aren't you going to help Xiaokui?!"

"What are you talking about, I'm a talent in the brain department, and I'm not good at fighting." Zhiyi said without a trace of shame, "It's better to run away so that Xiaokui has no worries than to stay in the same place and get in the way."

"You are too indifferent! If you don't know how to fight, let me tell you! I thought you could fight so I came with you! What should I do now!!" Yong Shan looked at the thieves who were chasing after him and were about to catch up.

"Don't worry, my escaping skills are still very good. When I was dawdling in the army, a man who called himself 'Run Run Kotaro' gave me some tricks."

"That person is very unreliable when he hears it!!"

All in all, Zhiyi successfully led Yongshan away from the chasing thieves. He was originally a person who was very talented in lurking and had a good memory. He almost remembered the roads in the town once, so running away was nothing. It's difficult, just use the corner of the town to get rid of those people.

After successfully getting rid of the thief, Zhi Yi supported his knees and took a breath, "Phew, I'm a little tired."

"Your body is too weak!"

"It's much better than before. I used to get heat stroke after walking in the sun for a few hours."

"What to be proud of!"

Although it is still useless in the eyes of others, in Zhiyi's view, he has indeed grown.Compared with the pampered and pampered princess at the beginning, her physique is much better now.Thanks to the many good people in the barbarian army, they are so tolerant towards her. She was originally a down-and-out warrior who was willing to accept all kinds of down-and-out warriors who had their homes destroyed by heaven and man. How inclusive.

Thanks to such an army, Zhiyi was able to hang around inside for several months, avoiding danger on the road, and reaching Edo safely.

After that, Zhiyi and Yongshan went back to the town to gather some aunts who were still capable of fighting, and went to rescue the besieged Miyamoto Aoi with an ax and a hoe.

There are very few men in this town. Even if they are oppressed by the bandits, only these aunts and aunts can unite, and the only men left are the old man and disabled soldiers like Yong Shan who came from the front line.

Now is the time of war, men are all serving as soldiers, and only women, children, old children, sick and disabled are left in the town, so even though Aoi Miyamoto is only a girl, because of her powerful swordsmanship, she has to become the support of the residents of the town .This situation is truly deplorable.

When the Big Mom army arrived, Miyamoto Aoi had already driven the bandits away. There were still some wounded bandits on the ground who couldn't recover. She also suffered a lot of injuries. She was half kneeling on the ground panting with a blunt knife, and her kimono was soaked in blood.

But at this time, her injured body appeared even more fragile and magnificent. It is hard to believe that such a young girl has been protecting this town, but in this small town where only the old, the weak, the sick, and women are left, only this girl can continue to protect the town. Protect others.

-

Help Miyamoto Aoi to bandage the wound, and Zhiyi takes care of her to sleep.After finishing all this, she was going to go out to buy some ingredients. After Miyamoto Aoi woke up, she could cook some porridge for her. As soon as she went out, she saw that Yongshan was still guarding the door, and she was a little flustered when she saw Zhiyi coming out.

Zhiyi probably also expected why he was at the door, but she pretended not to know, and smiled very gently: "Mr. Yongshan, haven't you gone back yet? Don't worry, Xiaokui's condition is fine."

After all, living in the army, you can do basic bandages. Miyamoto Aoi looks seriously injured, but she didn't hurt her vitals, which shows that she is really strong.

"Well, since I'm fine, I'll go back first." Yongshan hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around and wanted to leave.But how could Zhiyi give him this chance to escape, "About Xiaokui, don't you have anything to tell me? Mr. Yongshan."

Yongshan looked at her, seeming to be hesitating whether to tell this girl from outsider about it.Zhiyi began to say to him, "Are you a soldier who came back from the front? The shogunate army? Or a soldier with lofty ideals?"

"I used to be a fighter against barbarians, so I can be considered a warrior. But now I can't hold a sword anymore." He moved his wrist a little lonely, and he could see an obvious scar on his wrist.

"What a coincidence, I also stayed in the army of the anti-barbarians. But I am not a samurai, I just came to Edo after being taken care of by them." Zhiyi laughed.

Zhiyi slowly dispelled the other party's wariness, and came to the bench in front of the flower shop to do it.Miyamoto Aoi's home is connected to the flower shop. The first floor is the storefront, and the second floor is the living room.

Yongshan looked at the flower shop with complicated emotions. He sighed, "When I left the small town to apply for the job, Xiaokui was still a little girl, but in a blink of an eye she has grown so big."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhiyi again, "You must be very strange, right? Why do people in our town treat Xiaokui so strangely."

Zhiyi didn't show too much surprise, but said indifferently: "It's because of Xiaokui's father, the master of Miyamoto Dojo in your town."

Yongshan opened his eyes slightly, but Zhiyi had already guessed it, "You are really smart, how did you know?"

Zhiyi looked at the sky, and said calmly, "The one who can raise such a strong daughter is not a normal person no matter how you look at it. And the blunt knife in her hand is also strange."

"The traces on it are not the rust caused by being left for too long, but are caused by the splash of murder blood, and the knife edge is rolled up because of this reason."

"And Xiaokui also said that his father has a lot of hidden knives. At that time, I felt very strange. How could a dojo owner have the ability and demand to collect so many knives, and the murderous sword technique that Xiaokui used was not a country dojo. It can be taught."

"If I'm not mistaken, Xiaokui's father didn't live in this small town from the beginning, did he?"

Yongshan became more and more shocked, the girl in front of him seemed to have the ability to predict things like a god, gradually his eyes recovered from the shock, he lowered his eyes, "You know what these things are doing, I heard that you are only staying in this small town for a few days , you want to go to Edo. Since you don’t plan to stay here for a long time, her affairs have nothing to do with you, right?”

Zhiyi slightly raised her lips, this expression made her look more bright and charming, with a bit of cunning and cuteness, "I want to go to Edo to open a flower shop, but I don't know how to grow flowers, so I plan to take Xiaokui with me ,what do you think?"

Yong Shan was dumbfounded, "...is it because of this reason?"

"Yeah, instead of opening a small flower shop in such a small town, it's better to go to a big city with me. Young people should have the bloody spirit to conquer the world." Zhiyi said naturally.

"but……"

"Of course, I won't force her to leave with me. Since we are starting a business together, we must trust each other. But I talked to her about Edo a few days ago. She actually yearns for a city outside the town, but in order to protect the town , had to stay. Do you think she will really be happy in this way?"

Hearing such words, Yongshan could not refute.Zhiyi looked at him with a serious attitude, "Just tell me what's going on."

So Yongshan told about Miyamoto Aoi's past.

Miyamoto Aoi's father is not a so-called dojo samurai. He is a murderer called "Rensha Miyamoto". Because he likes to collect famous knives in the hands of powerful samurai, he has done a lot of killing with knives to satisfy his own desires. act.Later, Aoi's father stopped and eloped with a dancer and settled down in the town, and the residents of the town were very afraid of him.

Until the invasion of heaven and man, Miyamoto Aoi's parents were killed, and Miyamoto Aoi witnessed all this.

"Xiaokui hid in the cabinet at the time and watched her parents being killed. Since then, she has become what she is now, probably because she was too stimulated and had an impact on her spirit. As long as she picks up a real knife He will become very cold, fighting desperately just like his father."

"Although she has been protecting the town, the residents are very scared when they see her fighting. They respect and fear her and feel very guilty, so the residents will help her if her flower shop cannot continue, and the landlord is not very good. Collect her rent."

Having said this, Yongshan sighed. "I only found out about this when I came back. You also know that all the men in this town have been recruited, only women, the elderly and children. Xiaokui has always been protecting everyone. She is still so young, but she wants to We feel very sorry for her for taking on these things, but at the same time, we feel that such a girl has such strength, it is terrifying, and we are afraid that she will grow up to be like her father, so we dare not approach her."

"No wonder he is so strong. If he inherited the murderous swordsmanship of his predecessors, then everything would make sense." Zhiyi pinched his chin thoughtfully, "Xiaokui, doesn't she know about her father?"

"I don't know, we didn't tell her. The child admires his father very much, and we also want to make a good impression on her."

Zhiyi nodded, "I understand your thoughts, and it's not that I don't understand you."

She stood up and stretched her waist, "I don't want to intervene in your affairs. I only understand these things to understand my future entrepreneurial partners. I need to make sure that my entrepreneurial partners are not bad people, but I don't either. I'll tell you what to do with you."

Yongshan sat on the bench and looked up at her, "Perhaps it is a good thing for Xiaokui to leave here, so that she doesn't need to get hurt for us, and she won't be cut off as a human being and isolated by us. But I don't think she will Yes."

Zhiyi didn't care much, "Let me try to convince her."

-

Aoi Miyamoto, who had rested for two days, recovered and continued to operate the flower shop.If it is a young man, the recovery speed is really fast.

Zhiyi was watering the flowerpots, while Miyamoto Aoi was tying the bouquets, and the atmosphere in the flower shop was joyous.Zhiyi pretended to be casual and asked, "Hey, Aoi, do you want to go to the Edo flower shop with me?"

His tone was very flat, as if he was asking what's for dinner today.

Hearing this sentence, Aoi Miyamoto was stunned for a second, yearning appeared in her eyes, she really seemed to go to the outside town to see, after all, young people are curious, but she shook her head after being silent for two seconds, " Forget it, I will stay and protect the residents here.”

"Then would you like to make a bet with me?" Zhiyi smiled and watered the flowers without looking back.

"what?"

At this time Zhiyi stopped working, she looked back at Aoi Miyamoto and smiled at her. This smile is very beautiful, and it can even be said to be a bit of an allure, but it also contains mysterious charm, which makes people faint Feeling a bit dangerous, but deeply attracted by it.

"If I can make this group of thieves who are doing evil in this nearby town completely disappear, you can go to Edo with me."
