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

Yu Gongcui was a little embarrassed.

How embarrassing, can he say that he was so preoccupied with trouble with Takasugi that he completely forgot about it...?

Facing those warm gray eyes, lying and admitting mistakes are quite difficult things.Yu Gongcui took a deep breath, pretending to suddenly become interested in the swaying bean sprouts.

"I'll think about it, teacher."

Yoshida Shoyo laughed amusedly, with a teasing look on his face.

"I thought you had already decided. Why, don't you want to tell me?"

"No, I—"

After the hasty denial, he suddenly stopped talking, and said in a low voice, "Why do you think so?"

The teacher who received the question stretched out his hand and gently touched the top of the student's head.

"Because that road will inevitably lead to what you want."

"If you hear me say that, you will immediately have an unmistakable image in your heart, so what is the difference between that and the decision of the road?"

The brown-haired young man raised his finger to the door, signaling him to look in that direction.

At the end of the line of sight, Shinsuke Takasugi, who was dressed in a mess, had just rushed into the backyard and was stopping to search for the figure of the teacher. His eyes lit up after he found the two people beside the bean cane shelf, and he ran over panting.

... want something?

It was as if the camouflage that no one could see through was suddenly taken off, and all the thoughts in my mind were invisible in broad daylight.

Amamiya Tsui held her breath involuntarily, took two or three steps back in a row, and then hurriedly left after Takasugi approached, and even forgot to say goodbye to the teacher.

Takasugi:? ? ?

He watched the figure retreat as quickly as if he had seen a ghost, and he realized the change of the other party belatedly from this straightforward reaction, and finally believed that the child would no longer cling to him like before.

But unexpectedly, positive emotions such as happiness are quite absent.

At that moment, the complex feelings filled my heart - stunned, confused, uneasy, and even spontaneous grievances, and even subconsciously began to reflect on what I did wrong, so that I was disgusted like this?

... no, not right.

Shouldn't this kind of reaction be exactly what he wanted?

For a moment, he couldn't turn his head around, but the expression on his face was quite obvious.

He hesitated for a while, then continued to approach Yoshida Shoyang who picked up the watering can again, and greeted listlessly.

"teacher."

"It's Takasugi. What's the matter?" The young man looked at him with a smile, "If it's about the government inspection, Cui has already told me."

Takasugi Shinsuke was startled when he heard the words, pursed his lips and shook his head, looking a little absent-minded.

"Then it's all right. Teacher, I'll go back first."

"Go, don't be too sad."

Watching these children playing and fighting all day long, Yoshida Shoyo knew exactly what they were thinking.

Owning something that has become a habit for too long, suddenly losing it will immediately feel empty.

But since he wanted to kick the opponent away wholeheartedly before, even if he regrets it now, the only person who can blame him is himself.

As the one standing at the end of the road and being chased, what choice will this child make?

Although he is a teacher, in the final analysis, he cannot make decisions for anyone.So even if he felt slightly worried, he could only comfort him with a gentle smile.

"Cui should never have held grudges against you. But once the porcelain is broken, it is difficult to repair... Ask your own heart, and then act cautiously according to the answer, and move on."

Takasugi Shinsuke bowed his head respectfully and answered this sentence repeatedly.

And in the dojo of the village school, Amemiya Sui, who was dragged by Sakata Gintoki to practice swords, heard an unexpected electronic sound while wiping away his sweat.

[Friendly reminder to the host, the target's trust value has increased by 10 points!The current trust value is: [-] points! 】

Not so much a surprise as a fright.

The last time we met, he seemed to just run away from that guy, right?If you are disliked by Minghuang, you will gain trust instead, it is simply——

"Shaking M?"

Yu Gongcui muttered in a low voice, seeing Ah Yin's ears sharply raised on the opposite side, she immediately kept silent, and re-entered the sweaty kendo practice.

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

After that, every time I met Shinsuke Takasugi at both ends of the corridor, Sui Amamiya would still choose to turn around or go around in another way.

But the difference from the past is that the face of the opposite child is less angry, and more hesitant to speak.

Even the last time, when he turned to leave, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of this person subconsciously following up quickly, taking two or three steps before he could barely stop-although it was only two or three steps, it was enough to make Yu Gongcui terrified.

What's even more frightening is that after two or three avoidances like this, Shinsuke Takasugi's trust value quietly rose a bit.

Amazed, Yu Gongcui stared at the little "1" in the first place, puzzled.

...Is there a big promotion in the supermarket to get one free for every ten purchases?When did Shinsuke Takasugi become so talkative, why didn't he know?

At the same time, Takasugi, who has become talkative, is sitting in a corner of the classroom, sighing with his good friend Katsura Kotaro.

"He wouldn't talk to me at all, and the change is too big."

"Although I really don't want to deal with that guy anymore, but after thinking about it, he helped at least when I was troubled by the guy in the martial arts gym. If I can't thank you in person, it's like I'm an ungrateful villain—"

Gui Xiaotaro looked indifferent, and even wanted to use the book in his hand to wake this guy up.

"You obviously don't look stupid on weekdays, why did you lose your sense of proportion when encountering such a thing? Think about it carefully, Yugong was always the one who was bullied in the past. If he didn't hide something, how could he dare to rush out in that situation? ?”

Takasugi Shinsuke pondered for a while, acting like he had suddenly realized.

Gui Xiaotaro was relieved: "Have you thought it through?"

"Think clearly!" Shinsuke Takasugi clenched his fist and tapped his left palm with a passionate expression, a little ashamed, "He can overcome his fear without saying a word, which shows that he really cares about me...Comparing the two, the word 'friend' , I am not worthy."

Gui Xiaotaro was stunned by this clear-cut answer sheet, while Amamiya Cui, who was sitting in the corridor and meditating, watched the value on the counter change rapidly, and it rose to [21], her expression seemed to be different from the former.

——That guy Takasugi, what on earth did he make up for himself? ! !

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

Without a word of conversation or even eye contact, Shinsuke Takasugi raised his trust value to [34].

It's not that his self-guided strategies stop there, but that on the day the value reached 34, the inspectors belonging to the shogunate finally came.

It was late at night, and the homeless sons of the villagers had already gone home, and everyone who had fallen asleep was awakened by the rough knock on the door that broke the silence of the night.

The few children who knew the inside story quickly dressed and went out, and met Mr. Songyang holding a white lantern at the main entrance of the village school.

The latter didn't look like he just woke up from a dream, his hair and clothes were well-groomed, and he was as calm and relaxed as if he was about to welcome an old friend for many years.

The long brown hair scattered behind was covered with a layer of vibrant orange light by the lantern. The young man looked at the students who rushed out, his eyes were gratified but also helpless.

The people from the magistrate's office outside the door were startled by the menacing approach of these children, they couldn't help but stop at the door, and exchanged glances with each other.

"Everyone, please come in. These children are a bit reckless, please forgive me if I offend you."

Yoshida Matsuyo took half a step back and made an inviting gesture.The samurai walked in hesitantly, turning their heads to look at the village school in the night, and the young man showed no intention of hiding, and began to introduce the brainchild he was proud of.

"...More than 20 children have been attending classes here, and I don't think it's a bad thing to help scholars learn."

After finishing a sentence, he turned his attention away from the whispering men, waved his hand to signal Yu Gongcui and others in the corridor to leave, and hurried back to sleep in the room.

"If you don't have enough energy, you can't go to morning class." Driven by this reason that is so correct that it cannot be denied, the background boards who really can't help but only add to the chaos were sent back to the room, but no one thought of sleeping.

Sakata Gintoki was lying on the door panel, holding his breath and listening to the movement outside.

"If even people like teachers are not allowed to exist, then this country will be over." His voice changed from his usual casualness to exude air-conditioning, "No matter what, I will protect the village school."

Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotaro expressed their affirmation with silence.Yugong Cui snorted into the bed, and her breathing became steady and long after a while.

Tian Juan, who hadn't heard anything, gave up bitterly. When he turned around, he found that his little partner looked heartless and seemed to have fallen into a sweet dream. Gong Cui almost died of the pressure.

"Ahem, come down for me—!"

"You're still angry! Ah Yin isn't even angry!"

Sakata Gintoki's face was distorted by the push, but he still pressed on him unswervingly in the shape of an octopus, his tone of grief and indignation was quite artificial, "The house is about to disappear, even if there is a bed to sleep on, I feel very happy My piggy should be worried too!!"

"It's not something to worry about, Mr. Piggy."

Yu Gongcui struggled to crawl out from under him, and sat in a corner panting.

There was the sound of rusty hinges turning outside the door, the door opened and closed, and the orange light of the lantern was reflected on the shoji paper—it seemed that the inspecting samurai had finally left.

Gazing at the dark night, Yu Gongcui sighed silently.

"What if the village school is banned? As long as the teacher is still there, other village schools will always be built in other places. As long as we stay with the teacher, nothing will change."

"At that time, I will give Ayin Burned Paper to Ayin who swore to protect this place."

Even if you can't see clearly, you can feel the tangled face of Gintoki Sakata who was denied.The remaining two people looked at each other in blank dismay, and at this moment, a young man's cheerful laughter came from outside the door.

"Hahaha, that's true."

"teacher!"

Katsura Kotaro, who was the closest, stood up eagerly to open the door, but was stopped by Yoshida Shoyo, who had already guessed the reaction of the students.

"No, there's no need to open the door - the night wind is very cold, that's all."

"What exactly is Ah Yin trying to protect? The building, or the title of 'Matsushita Village School'? To me, the only thing that matters is the students."

"As Cui said, 'There will always be another village school built somewhere else, nothing will change'. The village school is gone, and it will be built again, but if it hurts my students, it will be considered as an enemy of the whole country , and at the same time.”

The cold wind in the middle of the night was indeed piercing, the young man's voice gradually lowered, and after the murmur gradually faded away, he coughed lightly involuntarily.

Savoring the glorious will and determination in this declaration, Amamiya Tsui let out a long breath, then came back to her senses, stretched out her foot and kicked the stupid Sakata Gintoki next to her.

Only then did the latter come to his senses, wiped his face fiercely, and quickly rushed to the door.

"I, I understand teacher, I won't say that again! There is morning class tomorrow, please go back and rest!"

Yoshida Matsuyo agreed with a smile, and after saying good night, the footsteps gradually disappeared in the wooden corridor.

It was far past the usual time to go to bed, and after such a fuss, the drowsiness surged up more and more violently.Thinking about the words left by the teacher, several people with their own minds silently crawled into their beds, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

[For me, the only thing that matters is the students. 】

For these children who have no past and come chasing the light from all directions, the important thing is not the building, not the name, but also "Yoshida Shoyo" himself as a teacher.

——Please wait.

Someday, we adults will reward you with the best things in the world... just like you once did.

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

To be honest, Amamiya Tsui is already ready for the banning of the village school and starting all over again. He doesn't think the shogunate will show any mercy to Yoshida Shoyo, a current gangster.

But unexpectedly, after that day, everything was calm.

The samurai from the magistrate's office did not come to the door again, and everything was as usual.

Yu Gongcui heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe she went to her former classmate afterward—the boy with the crescent hair to have a heart-to-heart talk, and asked him to communicate more with his father, which yielded unexpected results.

Due to his superb acting skills, coupled with the fact that his swordsmanship has advanced by leaps and bounds under the guidance of Mr. Songyang and Yinshi's accompanying training, he has been able to easily kill the weak young master one-on-one——

The dramatic consequence is that when he went to "borrow some money to spend", the other party called him "boss".

Alas.

Anyway, they don't meet and deal with these guys every day on weekdays, and they are more and more sincere in giving money, so Yu Gongcui doesn't bother to care.

From time to time, the younger brothers would prepare snacks and drinks, and meet him in the nearby abandoned temple like offering sacrifices to mountain gods, and respectfully ask about miscellaneous issues such as love or future, completely without the arrogance of the first meeting.

Although I have repeatedly emphasized not to treat him as a real pen fairy, the battle in the restaurant at the beginning was too shocking, which laid a solid foundation for Yu Gongcui's sophisticated/scheming/ruthless image.

Now as long as they refuse, the faces of these silly children will be brightly written "here he is again and he is acting again", which makes Yu Gongcui quite powerless.

Trouble is trouble, but in the area where Matsushita Village School belongs, the power of their fathers overlaps with each other, forming a spider web covering the whole country.

If one of the silk threads is flicked rashly, just like the last inspection to find trouble in the village school, it is easy to use the power of the shogunate to drive the offender to a place of eternal doom.

Takasugi Shinsuke can walk proudly and alone, ignoring these mediocre people crawling in the mud, but Amamiya Tsui cannot.

——He needed the strength of these people.

Therefore, when the young boy surnamed Chuankami asked him distressedly about his father's standing between the faction of respecting the king and fighting barbarians and the faction of avoiding war and founding the country, Yu Gongcui fell into deep thought for a long time.
