[Gintama] The Story of Me and Curly Yaksha

My Story with Curly Yaksha 39

Zhiyi saw a familiar face at the Smile Bar, and the person who named her was Police Chief Matsudaira Kata Lihu.Seeing this old man weaving clothes, he forgot that he was in a bar now, and turned on the Spartan boss mode, exuding black air visible to the naked eye.

"What are you doing here? Mr. Matsudaira. I remember it's working hours, right? You know what I hate the most are those bastard bureaucrats who leave their posts during working hours, the kind of shogunate cancer that I always see and kill one by one. You By naming me, do you want me to introduce you?"

"Cold, calm down, Ah Zhi, the young general asked me to come to you." Facing Zhi Yi in the Spartan boss mode, even Matsudaira broke out in cold sweat.He smoked a cigarette, and his tone of voice was still that of a strange uncle.

"It's very easy to work here, but it's almost time to go back and help the young general. You pushed all the affairs of the ghosts and the original documents to the young general, and he was so busy that he almost vomited blood. I wanted to take him out to play Yes, he doesn't have time."

"You are ashamed to say that I haven't settled with you for taking Tokugawa-kun to the nightclub before. Do you want to bring the king of a country into a playboy?" Zhiyi rolled his eyes.

"Don't say that, I thought you were enlightened. Uncle, I received a report that you have a boyfriend in Kabukicho now. Well, it's normal for a girl your age to have one or two boyfriends. But you still have to pay more attention to 'safety'. You are not my daughter and I can't control you, but if my daughter lives in a man's house casually, I will kill that man with my own hands."

"What are you talking about? If my father goes to bars and girls during working hours, I can't help but want to kill my father."

Zhiyi knew that it must be the news reported by the Shinsengumi. In fact, she also noticed it when the Shinsengumi observed her, but the Shinsengumi was from Matsudaira, so it would not cause her whereabouts to be exposed, so she ignored it.

"But now I'm being watched by the Duke, so I can't do anything else. Even if I work for Tokugawa-kun, if I'm attacked again, I'll have a headache. I can't send them out to protect me if the ghosts are interrogated. There are no suitable candidates for the rest."

"The young general has also thought about this. He wants you to get a vacant position in the police station, and then send the official documents and the daily report of the ghosts. To you, it is just a different place to work. With uncle here, Absolutely confidential."

Zhiyi was amazed, the young general had also grown up, and learned to find ways to squeeze his subordinates.She's only been on vacation for two weeks, hasn't she?This makes her go back to work.

Forget it, those who are capable work harder, and it is indeed too hard to throw all the work to Tokugawa.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhiyi remembered something, "Miyamoto Aoi, have you sent me to the Shinsengumi? How is she doing?"

"That girl is doing well, thanks to you being able to find the offspring of that kind of person."

"Just luck."

It was already morning when I got home from get off work, and the girls who accompanied the wine basically got off work at this time, and the weaver who had been working late for a long time did not feel very tired.It's just that I will bid farewell to the Smile Bar after this. To be honest, it is easier to be a bartender than to deal with government affairs and think about how to deal with political enemies.

Instead of going home immediately, she took a detour to buy a cake, planning to go back and announce that she could return to work in the shogunate.

I saw Kagura pulling a girl of the same age wearing a kimono, who should be a new friend, and Dingchun followed.Seeing Ori, Kagura waved his hand, "Ori-chan!"

"Kagura!" Zhiyi walked over, and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she saw the girl in kimono beside her.

This girl is none other than Princess Cheng Ye, the younger sister of the Great General Zheng Yi.

Seeing Zhiyi, Cheng Ye was also very happy, "Sister Azhi!!"

"Cheng Ye, why did you come here?"

"Chengye is Her Royal Highness Alu who ran away from that city." Kagura innocently pointed at the castle tower in the distance, "Chengye-chan, do you know Zhichan too?"

"I know you, sister Azhi is my brother's capable subordinate. Sister Azhi, where have you been all this time? My brother is very worried about you!" Cheng Ye pulled Zhiyi and looked at her with bright eyes, "I just listened. By the way, Sister Azhi, you have a boyfriend now, what is it like? I want to see it!"

Matsudaira Pian Lihu, that old bastard!Why are you talking about everything!

Zhiyi could only laugh dryly, and Kagura interrupted: "That's Silver Sauce! A good-for-nothing samurai with silver curly hair! His hobbies are jumping, pachinko and playing small marbles. He is short of money for thousands of years, except for swordsmanship and figure It’s not bad, but there’s nowhere else to go.”

"Hey? Don't you have a car or a house? Sister Azhi is the princess of the feudal clan. Will she not be able to afford a bride price when she gets married?"

Zhiyi was very embarrassed, and quickly said: "Okay, okay, don't just stand there, are you hungry? Do you want to eat cake?"

Zhiyi watched the two little girls divide up the cake that was originally placed in Wanshiwu, so Yinshi and Shinpachi would buy it later. "Cheng Ye, I'm no longer a princess, don't talk about this anymore."

Hearing this, Cheng Ye was a little frustrated, "Sister Azhi, I envy you so much, I don't want to be a princess anymore."

"I also live freely like Aori-san and Kagura-chan."

Adults have long stopped thinking about whether they are free or not, and they are burdened with responsibilities and obligations that cannot be shirked.But Zhiyi can understand her current mood very well.

Thinking back then, I dared to sneak out from the Duanzhou clan to wander during the period of war and chaos, and later became a soldier of the barbarians for a period of time. This kind of experience of running away from home is much more exciting than Chengye's now.

"Is this the reason why you understand to leave?" Zhiyi asked.

Cheng Ye nodded, "I won't leave for too long, just one day, I want to be an ordinary girl."

Having said that, Zhiyi didn't say anything else, in her opinion, Cheng Ye was already very sensible.The next day, she played with Cheng Ye and Kagura for a whole day, and people from the Shinsengumi came to find her in the middle, but they didn't take her away forcibly when they saw Zhiyi here.

"You go back first, I'm here, I'll take care of what happens." Zhiyi looked at them with a gentle tone and a smile on his face, but there was an air of calmness.

I don't know what happened at the shogunate meeting. The earthwork has a sense of vigilance towards weaving and resists too much involvement.He hesitated for a moment, and said, "That... Master Ruo Nian Ji."

Zhi Yi didn't comment, just nodded slightly, "Within tonight, I will have someone send Cheng Ye back."

"Oh, what the senior officials say is different, Miss." Okita sneered. "Although I don't know what your purpose is here, but be careful. The street of Kabukicho is very dangerous. One day someone might fall to the ground. It might be someone who was expelled from the barbarians, or someone from your own family." As he spoke, he patted the cannon barrel beside him.

"Total enlightenment!!"

Being ridiculed by Zhi Yi didn't show any annoyance, instead he showed a bright look, covered his mouth and smiled gracefully, "I understand why Mr. Matsudaira would strongly recommend you, it's really interesting."

"If you want to eradicate all the villains in Edo, you have to be even more evil and cunning than them. Ordinary policemen are not up to the task. Please continue to work hard, Deputy Chief Hijikata, Captain Okita."

Zhiyi politely said goodbye to the two with a slight bow, then left holding the hands of Kagura and Sumiya.

"Yeah, this is really amazing."

Looking at Zhiyi's back, Okita did not have the contempt he had for the corrupt officials above him at the beginning. Maybe this woman is different from the old shogunate fox he has seen, maybe even more terrifying.

"To actually say such crazy things, that woman can't be described as trembling with s or m. She is really sick and delicate."

-

Before he knew it, it was already night, and Zhiyi called Kimura's number. He thought he couldn't get through, but he got through.

"Kimura, is your mission over?"

"Well, what's the matter? I see you have been looking for me."

I was looking for him before to let him send money, but now I have a new job, so I don't need it.Zhiyi said: "You send someone to Kabukicho, and Princess Cheng Ye is with me."

Zhiyi roughly talked about the cause and effect, and Kimura said that he would immediately find the nearby Hyakki members to pick him up.

After all, the Hundred Ghosts are the general's assassination force, and it is reasonable to come to protect the general's sister.

Kagura and Cheng Ye sat on the swing, cheered up and chatted, deliberately ignoring the upcoming parting, Zhiyi understood their reluctance.She walked over, knelt down and looked at Cheng Ye: "Cheng Ye, it's time for you to go home, come and play with us next time, okay?"

"Oni-chan...can you please don't send Chengya-chan back...I still want to play with her..." Kagura tugged on Zhiyi's sleeve pleadingly.

Zhiyi patted her head, "Don't worry, you will meet again in the future."

She looked at Cheng Ye and said word by word: "Cheng Ye, I understand your current mood very well, but maybe you will understand when you grow up, the so-called 'freedom' is actually 'the person you want to protect', as long as there is With important people by your side, no matter where you go, even if you are imprisoned in the deepest dungeon, you are free. The family you want to protect is in that city, isn’t it?”

Cheng Ye nodded with a vague understanding.

Zhiyi smiled, "If you still want to go out of the city to play, or want to come to Kagura, you can call me directly in the future, and you don't need to understand and run away."

"Ah."

Cheng Ye went back under the escort of the members of the Hundred Ghosts.

Zhiyi looks at the night sky and sees Chengye and always thinks of herself back then, she was such an ignorant and innocent noble girl back then.

However, after these years of polishing, she has really changed a lot, and now she wants to let go of everything and focus on being with important people, and she can't go back.

However, she has no regrets.
