[Gintama] Long hair and waist

The four of them rested in the cave all night and decided to set off after lunch.The little girl slept on the edge of the hole all night.She is an extremely sensitive person, and it only takes the slightest sound to wake her up in a place that makes her feel insecure.

Afu Rabbit just felt that the mouth of the cave was loud and wanted to hug her in.Unexpectedly, he just stood up when he saw Qianchun opened his eyes, a pair of purple eyes looking at him quietly.Seeing the little girl's cold appearance at night is really scary.He clearly remembered that the last time she showed such a calm look was when she fought with Shenwei at Chunyu's dinner party.

Maybe he got up because he noticed something strange, Qianchun squinted his eyes and glanced back and forth outside the cave several times, then turned his head and shook his head slowly at Afutu, expressing that there were no beasts or strange plants.She didn't speak, but Afutu felt that he had clearly received the message she wanted to convey——

With her sitting there, there is no need to worry about safety.

Only then did Afutu realize that the little girl was sleeping at the entrance of the cave to keep watch at night.

I didn't expect her to be such a delicate person.In the past, he was too subjective and underestimated her.Thinking about it now, Qianchun is just a child at heart, simple and easy to deceive, but she probably doesn't listen to everyone.Otherwise, she would have been scammed by traffickers long before meeting them.

Wait, being tricked by human traffickers... Could the real reason why the little girl is willing to follow them be...

Afu Rabbit held his forehead.

Now he understands everything. It's because they think the little girl is too simple all the time.She is natural and true, but natural does not mean that she does not need to think about everything.Maybe the little girl is cute and stupid on the surface, but she has too many things to think about in her heart.

That being the case, he felt relieved to leave his safety to Qianchun.She would save them, which meant that she was on their side for the time being and would not hurt them.

Seeing that Afutu withdrew his probing eyes and went back to sleep, Qianchun also closed his eyes, but his mind was still awake.Her hearing was especially sharp when she fell asleep.Maybe it has something to do with the habit she has developed since she was a child. As soon as she hears footsteps or other movements, she will be awakened immediately, and she will raise her vigilance as quickly as possible.She is good at judging the other party's intention by breath, if the other party does not show killing intent, then she will not do it easily.

Therefore, if Afutu showed any killing intent just now, even if it was only for a second, the little girl who was awakened would kill him without hesitation.

Woke up once and had trouble falling asleep again.She wasn't in the mood to sleep well recently, so she slowly opened her eyes again.The sky is still dark, and the fire that illuminates the entrance of the cave has gradually been extinguished.She added a little more wood, and the fire became steady again.

She rubbed her arms and squatted next to the fire to warm herself.After accidentally seeing Shenwei's cloak slipping onto her lap, she sighed helplessly, walked softly to his side, knelt down to help him put the cloak back on her body, and couldn't help but look at his sleeping face. Zhu shook his head and muttered, "Why don't you know how to take care of yourself until now? This character is exactly the same as when I was a child. It doesn't make people worry at all."

Unexpectedly, after she finished mumbling, his brows suddenly frowned slightly.

She was startled, and quickly crawled back to where she was, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After hearing no movement, she secretly opened a slit to observe the situation, and when she found that he hadn't woken up, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The relaxed mood didn't last for five seconds, and her heart hung up again.

In addition to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and the crackling and cracking found when the fire was burning wood, other sounds seemed to be mixed in.It sounds like the sound of people stepping on leaves and grass.She closed her eyes and reached for her umbrella calmly, her ears still catching the sound of footsteps.

getting closer... getting closer...

However, when she felt that the other party was approaching the cave, the voice suddenly disappeared.

She immediately realized something was wrong, grabbed the umbrella and rushed out alone.Her movements were light, she jumped up the tree nimbly, grabbed the trunk and swung to another tree.The leaves on the tree shook due to the shaking of her movements, making a rustling sound.But her movements were so fast, if you didn't listen carefully, you would think it was just the sound of leaves being blown by the strong wind.

Unexpectedly, the visitor's movements were even more agile than hers.

She could barely see a black shadow constantly moving through the tree.She smelled the nutrient solution on the other person's body. Although it was very faint, this smell was so special that she couldn't remember it wrong.Her movements can already be considered light, but the other party is even better than her.During the action, not a single leaf fell, like a phantom.

She chased for nearly 5 minutes, and the distance became wider and wider.

In the end, deep into the woods, there was nowhere to be found.

She didn't dare to go in again, jumped to the ground, and first used small stones to draw marks on the nearby trees.In fact, she didn't know if it was useful. After all, the ground of this forest would move, and maybe the place would have changed by the time they set off.

"Qianchun really doesn't have a sense of teamwork, and she acted alone." The boy who didn't know when appeared stood behind her with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, bringing you guys will slow you down." No matter how cold her expression was, she still couldn't hide her childishness.

"So it's like this~" He nodded half-understanding, then rolled his eyes and continued teasing, "But without us holding you back, didn't you also catch that guy? Qianchun is really weak."

"..." Qianchun was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and walked back quickly alone, "I don't care about you, what are you doing chasing after you if you don't sleep at night. Qianchun doesn't believe that you can catch up!"

Kamui looked innocent, "Huh? Didn't you also stay up late at night and chase after you? Speaking of which, we are still with each other. You have also noticed that it is not human at all... nor is it the speed that heaven and man can achieve It's really interesting." His expression suddenly became unpredictable, and his blue eyes showed a bloodthirsty fighting spirit.

"Don't be so careless, have you forgotten what happened in the alley when you were a child? And what happened in the woods before." The little girl turned around, stood on tiptoe and tapped his forehead hard with her fingers, " Give me a longer memory, I can't stay by your side to take care of you all the time, I have to learn to think about things by myself."

It seems to be back to my childhood.

He froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Qianchun also put her hands behind her back, lowered her eyes, and said slowly and softly after a long while, "Let's go, didn't you say that you will start at noon? There is still a rest time. Don't make those two people suspicious, I have nothing to do with you."

She was the first to turn and leave.Just like back then, she insisted on leaving that house before him.

Seeing this, he chased after her and walked side by side with her.

"Is it okay? Then what did you do in the cave just now? Oh, did it happen by the way?" He raised his eyebrows pretending to be puzzled, seemingly innocent, but he viciously provoked the question she deliberately avoided.Seeing that the little girl was sulking at being bullied by him again, he raised the corner of his mouth even more happily, "Let me explain first, I'm not your brother."

"Hmph! Qianchun doesn't have such a bad brother like you! I've had enough of lying to and bullying me all the time. I don't trust you anymore! I won't help you anymore!" The little girl made a naive grimace.

"So, what's going on like, 'Why don't you know how to take care of yourself until now', 'It doesn't make you worry at all'?"

……

Qianchun suddenly stopped.

"You, you, you... You just woke up?! Boom! Just wait, I'll dig a hole and bury you in it right away!" A certain girl with exposed idiot attributes squatted down in the shape of a digging hole.

"Huh? You're making such a big noise, how could you think I wouldn't wake up? Chiharu is so stupid. ^_^" Kamui shrugged.

"... Well, sure enough, Qianchun won't talk to you anymore." The little girl covered her face.

Consciously or unintentionally, he pulled the little girl up by her collar again—just like he did when he was a child, this interaction was all too familiar to the two of them, "Your memory is still very confused, after all, even the idiot sister Don't remember. But you're slowly remembering. Now, isn't it? That's great."

He said "that's great", but his expression was still a little careless.Even smiling doesn't give the impression that he's really happy.

Seeing that the girl was silent, he let go and put both hands behind his head to support his head, "However, I never thought that you would remember me. It seems that I have left a deep impression on you." .”

"You've been stimulating me, don't you just want me to remember everything earlier? Are you satisfied now? You know, you are the person I most want to forget. But the person I think of first is actually you. "

Chiharu's memory is confused.

Like a shattered mirror, the lost memory fragments are slowly collected along the way, until all the fragments are collected, and a complete past can be pieced together.And sometimes, fragments of other mirrors will be collected, and when they are put together, it will become more and more chaotic.

She thought the first memories would be fond memories.

Unexpectedly, in her memory, Shenwei was the first to become complete.

This is why after she came back from Yoshihara, she felt that her whole person, including her personality, had changed significantly.She used to be just a piece of blank paper that didn't understand anything, she forgot the complete past, and could barely remember some outlines.It is precisely because of her ignorance of the past that she becomes ignorant and even "stupid".

However, her memory is not completely lost.She herself did not remember the past, but her body did not.Her subconscious mind will help her make judgments, she will subconsciously approach people she is familiar with, and she will also subconsciously run away from those who have brought her mental harm.

So, she actually went to Chunyu with the familiar Shenwei, and she refused to contact the Shenwei who had offended her, and instead got close to Afutu who she felt was safer.

After reuniting with Kamui, he has been deliberately stimulating her, reminding her of the past.She gradually woke up from the chaos, and the white paper was gradually stained with ink spots.What she felt was not the joy of recovering her memory, but the pain.

She would rather forget than remember.

"Well, I just don't want you to run away like an idiot. Why suppress your nature like this? You are the same as me, right? We both long for blood and fight. Don't you think it's good now? You can kill as much as you want. When you meet someone who dares to accuse you of being a monster, just kill him. ^_^"

The boy's gentle and hearty sunny smile shows no trace of a murderer at all.

A smile, he said, is a killing etiquette.No matter what kind of life it is, at the last moment, they can say goodbye with a smile, so that they can die safely.

She thought, after all, she still hadn't been able to speak of killing so frankly like him.As Qianxia Asuka said, every time she kills, she can feel a kind of heart-pounding pain.She really wanted to kill someone unintentionally, but every time she smelled blood, she couldn't help but lose her mind.

She had to admit that her nature was as bloodthirsty and ruthless as his.

"Shenwei, you who are so focused on pursuing strength, what have you gained on this road?"

The girl Qianchun's eyes suddenly showed a heavy sadness.

"On this road of killing, you who win in the end will find that all you get is eternal loneliness. Is it really meaningful to exchange a lonely life for strength?"

The author has something to say: the six chapters agreed to finish this volume, but now the plot line of this volume is not even halfway through
