How did the good of order become the confidant of the villain? !

When Yugong Cui secretly uttered cruel words and was still sobbing, a slightly surprised voice from an adult male suddenly came from beside him.

"Oh, Takasugi-kun? Fighting is not a good boy."

At the edge of his vision blurred by tears, a young man in a loose light-colored kimono approached slowly. His long brown hair was soft and shiny, hanging down to his waist.

Surrounded by a gentle atmosphere that made people feel relaxed, the young man tapped his palm rhythmically with the rolled-up thin book, and stopped in front of Shinsuke Takasugi who pursed his lips and looked away.

He raised his right hand, clenching his slender fingers as white as jade one by one under the terrified gaze of the students, and then, with this seemingly powerless fist, lightly knocked on the head of the bad boy who was fighting.

After the huge "Duang" sound like beating a drum, a cloud of smoke rose from the ground where Takasugi was originally located, and was blown away by the wind after a while.

And Takasugi Shinsuke, who was still annoyed, rushed to the street on the spot, lying on the ground unconsciously, with a fist-sized swelling on the top of his head.

Yu Gongcui, who was watching quietly:? ? !

What kind of strange power is this? !

[Gintama] Isn't it a world where only samurai/swords and old-fashioned fire/guns exist!He has never heard of the fact that a light touch on the face of a fist can knock a person half a meter into the ground! !

The ground under that Takasugi's feet is cracked, this has exceeded the scope of "punishment" to "execution", right? !

Tears glistening, Yu Gongcui held her nose and slowly backed away, trying to run away quietly without being noticed.

The long-haired young man withdrew his fist and shook his head at the students rushing to the street and said with a smile, "You will be punished for fighting." Covered panic.

If I get hit like that, I will really die, big brother!It's enough to hit Takasugi, he will only drum up one more bag at most!

Seeming to have seen through his thoughts, the young man couldn't help laughing after being slightly stunned. He pressed the book to his chin, showing a heart-wrenching gentle smile.

"I remember...Your name is Yu Gongcui, right? Gao Shan is a classmate in the martial arts school." He made an inviting gesture, pointing to the Japanese garden next to the grass, "You are bleeding, you have to come to bandage for a while?"

-----------------------------

Although he showed terrifying fighting power in front of Yu Gongcui, the temperament of the young man was so gentle and harmless that people unconsciously trusted him.

Yu Gongcui, who had nowhere to go to the whiteboard in his mind, did not shirk, followed the man into the room, lay on the cool tatami, closed his eyes and let the young man with bandages and cotton balls fiddle with him.

At the same time, a lot of information was also learned from the few words the other party said in order to understand him.

Takasugi Shinsuke, who was originally the young master of a samurai family, studied in the "Jouwutang" that only accepted noble children.However, because of his unruly nature, he repeatedly injured his classmates and disobeyed his parents. He was eventually expelled from the house and chose to devote himself to the "Matsushita Village School" set up by young people.

——Of course, according to the young man, he was just "pursuing the way of being a samurai".

As a little friend who grew up with Takasugi, Yu Gongcui was naturally heartbroken by this deviant behavior, and came to the village school again and again to look for him, trying to bring the temporarily obsessed Xiao Shuanran back to the right path.

However, this "young tame dye" is most likely unilaterally identified by the system-installed tool man Amamiya Sui himself, and the rebellious child Shinsuke Takasugi just feels bored by being entangled endlessly.

According to Yu Gongcui's own speculation, before he was released, this tool man who was confused about his self-positioning came to Gao Sugi several times, and emotionally said stupid things like "I will help you go back"... …Then, Shinsuke Takasugi, whose patience was exhausted, finally broke out and punched him hard.

——The other party's resolute and disgusting attitude is definitely not like treating a friend.

The wound on the nose was wrapped up by the young man with a clean white gauze, the pain subsided a little, Yu Gongcui rubbed her swollen eyes, looked up at the woman who was kneeling quietly on the tatami with her back as straight as a pine youth.

That demeanor is unreasonably reminiscent of the solitary white crane dancing on the snow in winter, with its immaculate appearance.

He put his hands down and asked hesitantly.

"I don't know how to call you?"

The pupils of the young man with the same shallow hair color turned, watching him with a smile like water waves, reflecting the small reflection of the embarrassed black-haired child.

"—Yoshida Shoyo." He replied, "The children call me Ms. Shoyo."

Yu Gongcui adjusted her sitting posture, and bowed to the young man squarely.The latter accepted it unmoving, as if he had known that he would do this for a long time, his light-colored eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled happily.

"Why, do you also want to worship under my sect?"

"Yes, I want to see the charm of Takasugi who will follow even if he betrays his family."

Yu Gongcui didn't even blink her eyes, she said high-sounding excuses - but it wasn't a lie.

Matsushita village school has a great reputation as "the place where the Meiji Restoration was born".

Although the world has undergone a demonic reform, the founder changed his name to Yoshida Shoyo, but Matsushita Village School is still Matsushita Village School.

That being the case, is there any reason to pass the door and not enter?

As for taking some small revenge on Takasugi Shinsuke by the way, it was all leisure and entertainment activities after heavy studies. He neither took this into consideration before eagerly joining, nor did he take the matter of revenge to heart.

— Absolutely not.

Yoshida Shoyo stared at the child who bowed his head in thought, and laughed dumbly at the undisguised thought, but then got serious and called out the other's name.

"In that case, Cui, can you tell me where your path is?"

"the way?"

"Yes, the road."

He stared at the pair of black pupils with doubts peacefully, without any perfunctory due to his age, and talked patiently with the other party as a completely equal individual.

"I have the children of the villagers here. Reading and literacy will change their future, and maybe they can go further; I also have children like Takasugi who want to become real warriors and fight for it. I It can only give them a little advice when they are confused, and it can't plan anyone's path."

"—So, what is Tsui's path?"

The road... a life plan?

He can completely utter the dream of copying and declaring that he wants to become a warrior. Such a tall and mainstream goal will definitely make the youth impeccable.

However, due to serious thinking, and accidentally thinking for too long, in the anxious silence, the corners of Yoshida Shoyo's mouth curled up clearly.

"It turned out to be a child who hadn't woken up yet."

He raised his hand and stroked the other party's docile black hair comfortingly.

"It doesn't matter, you will find out soon. Maybe you have been walking on it, but ignored the things under your feet."

"Until you find your own path, I can't really teach you. But starting tomorrow, you can come to the village school to attend classes. I welcome it."

Doesn't answer the question, so it's irrelevant?

With a better understanding of the character of the young man, Yu Gongcui, who was relieved, bowed his head to express his gratitude.The young man waved his hand, stood up, stopped a second before he was about to step out the door, and blinked meaningfully at Yu Gongcui who was full of bewilderment.

"I'm going to move Takasugi-kun into the house, do you want to help?"

----------------------------

The next day, there was a new student in the Matsushita Village School that made Shinsuke Takasugi restless.

He once tried to block Yu Gongcui during the class break, and asked the other party why he was so persistent in pestering him. He knew that joining the village school that taught the idea of ​​fighting against barbarians would be rejected by the family. Would it be worthwhile to abandon the most important identity?

However, as soon as the black-haired child changed his ingratiating attitude of quickly sticking to his shadow when he saw his shadow in the past, even if he accidentally looked at him across the entire corridor, he would change his way indifferently.

This stunned the young Takasugi Shinsuke.

Was that punch that powerful?Finally let this weak and introverted guy who just blindly admired strength understand that he never regarded him as a friend?

But if that's the case, why did this guy suddenly change his gender and join the Matsushita Village School that he detested in the past?

After thinking about it, the reason is nothing more than myself.There is nothing but Takasugi Shinsuke.

He endured the annoyance of being entangled by someone he hated again and couldn't get rid of it no matter what, and went to see Teacher Songyang who was preparing lessons in the backyard with a gloomy face.

"That person... because of his own weakness, he has been pestering me since I was a child." Shinsuke Takasugi recalled the days when he was forced to wade into the muddy water, and his face became even worse. "He just wants to rely on others to help solve the problem. , definitely not my friend!"

Yoshida Matsuyo listened quietly, and then expressed doubts appropriately: "As far as I know, Amamiya hasn't been in contact with you during this time, right?"

The purple-haired child scoffed at the words, and refuted with a stiff neck.

"Sooner or later he will! Isn't that why he joined the village school?"

Unable to communicate rationally with Takasugi who insisted that he was followed by Stoka, Mr. Songyang smiled helplessly and promised that the angry students would communicate with Cuido.

Takasugi Shinsuke, who had calmed down a little, left satisfied, and as soon as he left, Amamiya Tsui, who was holding a stack of notebooks on his back, slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Putting the students' homework on the short table in front of Teacher Songyang, Yu Gongcui bowed slightly, and was about to leave when the young man stopped him curiously.

"Aren't you angry? I'm still going to comfort you."

He shook his head.

"Takasugi's description is not a lie. However, now that I know his true thoughts, I will naturally not pester him any more."

"Is that so... If it bothers one of the parties, it really can't be called friendship. Takasugi-kun is not a bad boy, maybe the way you express it is wrong. Do you want to try again?"

Yu Gongcui did not hesitate, and smiled and rejected the teacher's kindness.

"You are on the outside, but you can't see clearly—no, you just don't want to hurt me by saying it?"

"What Takasugi Shinsuke hates is not the way of getting along with him from the beginning to the end, but 'Amiya Sui' himself."
