[Gintama] Immortal

Tatsuma Sakamoto——former fighter against barbarians, now the captain of the fast-relief team, ten years ago when he was talking about life with his friends on the roof, his dream was to be a fisherman for stars.

A few minutes ago, he spent the last coin in his pocket in a bar tens of thousands of light-years away from the earth, and managed to live on the street.

Considering that he sneaked out to have fun, and then he will die on his own, or be captured by his deputy and be destroyed humanely.

The patent-leather trash can—delicate, cold, solid—like an inhuman reality.

Holding the trash can and vomiting, Sakamoto Tatsuma wobbled down and squatted down, looking at the pedestrians coming and going and thinking about life.

"……Are you OK?"

When the familiar language sounded, he thought he had drunk too much.

Seeing that he didn't respond, the voice repeated more slowly and clearly: "Do you need help?"

Sakamoto Tatsuma raised his head, and the owner of the voice was standing in front of the trash can, with concern in his eyes, as if he was looking at a lost child, crying while walking with his shoelaces loose.

"Ahahahaha," he laughed loudly, and hiccupped halfway through the laugh, "I'm fine."

After a pause, he said, "This young and lovely lady, are you here for sightseeing?"

The person standing in front of him was wearing a kimono with simple patterns and light-colored feathers on his shoulders. He seemed to be in his early 20s.

Hearing what he said, she blinked her eyes, with a funny look on her face: "Young?"

"If there is a need for a guide, I know the right person."

"Oh, really."

The two men standing behind her moved their fingers slightly. Sakamoto Tatsuma was familiar with the signal before launching an attack, but he still squatted lazily in place, smiling silly.

"Because you are so good at boasting, I will consider it."

The hand that belonged to a young woman stretched out in front of him. It was white and clean without a trace of calluses. It didn't look like a hand that was used to holding knives.

"Before this, can you still stand up?"

"Ahaha, so many..."

Before the words of thanks came out, Tatsuma Sakamoto's voice faltered slightly, and the two men took a step forward expressionlessly, one left and one right blocking the view of passers-by on the street, and the dark knife in their sleeves slipped into their palms.

"I'd better stand up by myself."

He wisely withdrew his hand.

"...What are you doing." Did not miss the small movements of the two Narakus, the owner of the voice - Yae's mouth twitched, "It's too exaggerated. This person is not a threat."

Obviously her expression didn't fluctuate, but she read the disapproval from the eyes of the two of them.

No, what did she do to look at her with such weird eyes.

Yae had no choice but to put on a straight face: "Put it away quickly."

The two Naraku hesitated to retract their movements, and she took Sakamoto Tatsuma's hand again and pulled him up from the ground.

"Thank you." Probably because the alcohol hadn't gone down, Sakamoto Tatsuma smiled very silly, with a childlike innocence.

The brown natural curls are very recognizable, and they match that loud voice so well. When she saw him outside the bar, she didn't flip through her memory, and the relevant label popped out, and slapped on the drunk man by the trash can. Post: Yinshi's friend.

The cosmic penguin named Elizabeth next to Gui, if she remembered correctly, was also given by this young man with a loud voice.

"You're welcome," Yae couldn't help laughing, "This..."

"It's our first meeting, I'm Tatsuma Sakamoto." The other party put on a serious expression, the silly feeling faded a little, and the dialect full of Tosa flavor became calm, which really looked like a captain.

Yae noticed that his eyes without sunglasses were beautiful blue, the same color as the sea reflecting the sky.

She stretched out her hand cooperatively, and said solemnly: "It's the first time we meet, you can call me Yae."

"Chen Ma." The other party also stretched out his hand.

The two shook hands like business partners.

"Then, Chenma," Yae coughed lightly, suppressing the corner of his mouth to smile, "Do you still have any money with you?"

"Ah... this," the tall man with curly brown hair curled up randomly, and a very bright smile rummaged through his pockets several times to no avail, and scratched the back of his head: "It was there before drinking."

Eightfold patted him on the shoulder and said concisely: "I think we should deal with... your clothes first."

Her first stop on this planet was actually a laundry shop.

After sending the dirty scarlet long coat to be washed and dried, Yae bought anti-alcoholic medicine and mineral water, and came back with the bag. What he saw was Tatsuma Sakamoto sitting on a bench looking at the sky engrossed look.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ship." There was something shining in his eyes, "A ship in the air. No matter how many times I think about it, the technology of the Celestial Man is incredible."

"That's why you became a businessman?" Yae raised his eyebrows.

"Ahaha, it's one of the reasons... eh, you know?" The blue eyes widened slightly.

"I heard you yelling at the door of the bar before, the captain of the fast rescue team."

"Hey, isn't it because I'm famous?" Chen Ma laughed after being dazed for a moment.

It was the first time for Yae to see someone who looked so happy after being drunk.

"Unfortunately, not." She smiled and handed over the coat and the hangover medicine she had retrieved: "I think you will probably need this."

"Now I have to buy you a drink." Chen Ma put his elbows on the back of the chair.

"No need." Yae behaved very generously, "Anyway, it's not the money you get from murdering and extorting goods, or the money that will be used to kill and extort goods in the future. You can spend it with peace of mind."

The smile on Chen Ma's face seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Kidding."

"Ahahaha, I was so scared that I almost went into cardiac arrest."

"Why?" Yae unscrewed the bottle cap.

"Afraid of being silenced by someone you know."

Following Xu's order, the two Narakus who followed her were sent to the dark place by her, and they are probably staying somewhere to watch the situation here at the moment.

"So, aren't you going to run?" Yae tilted his head, "Maybe it's too late to run now."

Chen Ma scratched the back of his head, and laughed ah haha: "If not, will your Dana kill me?" ①

Yae paused, then continued to laugh: "What Danna?"

Chen Ma nodded kindly, and looked at her with some understanding and respect, as if she was some kind of young widow who inherited a huge inheritance from her deceased husband.

Yae felt that the misunderstanding was a bit big: "No, that, I'm not married."

"...Ahahahaha, I misunderstood, I'm sorry." Chen Ma bowed his head readily, "My friend likes wives, and I accidentally lost my train of thought."

...It's quite natural to reveal incredible information.Yae kept smiling.

Although I know that the other party is talking about Gui, why is this a bit strange.

Seemingly realizing that he accidentally said too much, Chen Ma jumped up from the bench and turned around. "Since it's your first time to come to this planet..." Smiling and bending his blue eyes, he said brightly, "As a thank you, I will be your temporary tour guide."

The National Museum is located in the center of the city, with [-] spacious and bright exhibition halls, and the thick wooden floors are radiant.

The sunlight falls in from the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, and the chandelier hangs in the vaulted hall, which is still exquisite and elegant after a hundred years.

The tourists queuing up to buy tickets gathered together in twos and threes. Yae and Tatsuma were the only earthlings among the crowd visiting the museum today.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the other men in the line kept a distance of at least five steps from her. Wherever she took a step, the men in that direction would follow in fear and take a step back.

When walking on the street before, others avoided her probably because of Naraku behind her, but now that Naraku is no longer by her side, there is no way to get rid of the blame.

Yae was a little puzzled; "Do I look scary?"

Chen Ma patted her on the shoulder: "It's not your problem, maybe someone is more scary."

"What do you mean?" Yae raised his head.

"The celestial beings on this planet are very sensitive to breath." Chen Ma showed his big white teeth, "To the men here, you might smell like a death notice, haha."

Yae: "...Oh."

She knew who the pot belonged to.

"Hahaha don't worry, it means there will always be plenty of space around us and there won't be crowds."

"...you're right."

The museum is divided into two areas. The hall in the first area exhibits sculptures, the second floor displays paintings, and the third floor is decorated in the style of more than 100 years ago. Walking in is like a corridor of time.

The carpet is soft and thick, and there is no sound when you step on it. Yae is standing in the exhibition hall arranged as a study room. The dark brown walnut wood bookcase is as high as the ceiling.

Carved chaise longues face the windows, emerald green upholstery embroidered with thin silk threads.

Yae walked to the table with exquisite tea sets and admired the lifelike flower arrangement in the vase.

"Do you like museums?"

A laughing voice came from behind, and Chen Ma leaned against the entrance of the exhibition hall with his pockets in his pockets. The smile on his face was reminiscent of the summer sun and the blue sea.

Such a person will never lack friends to accompany him no matter where he goes.

As eccentric and arrogant as Takasugi, didn't he also lose in the era of fighting against barbarians?

"Like it."

Yae frowned.

"It is a very gentle place to let things that have been displaced outside of time have a home, and objects that have been covered with historical dust to regain value."

Chen Ma was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Do ordinary people use words like gentleness to describe the museum?"

Yae tilted his head: "Probably not."

Looking away from the vase on the table, she looked out of the open and bright window, thought for a while, blinked and smiled:

"I probably know where our next destination should be."

After 15 minutes, the two sat down on the square in front of the museum.

The water flow is clear, and the statue of the goddess in the fountain hangs her head gently.Some of the tourists sitting on the steps were feeding the pigeons, throwing the bread crumbs in their hands casually, and they were startled.

Chen Ma looked at the hot croissant in his right hand, and at the coffee in his left hand.

"Ahahaha, you actually let a cute woman treat you." If he wasn't holding things in both hands, he seemed to want to rub his unkempt brown curly hair.

"You don't need to say thank you." Yazhong took a bite of the croissant in the paper bag, and narrowed his eyes contentedly, "Just take it as a little return gift for this afternoon."

Chen Ma laughed loudly, and his frivolous words were not annoying: "In this case, why don't you think about being with me..."

"No need." Yae said with a smile, refusing very decisively.

Chen Ma was not annoyed, he sat carelessly on the steps, looking extremely relaxed: "Ah, I was rejected by a lovely woman."

Yae scattered the croissant debris on the open space in front of the steps, and after a while, a group of pigeons flew over.The tourists who had been besieged by the pigeons gave a grateful glance to this side, and Yae slightly raised the coffee cup as a signal, and returned a smile to the other party.

Looking away, she said casually, "What kind of people are your friends?"

"Huh?" Chen Ma was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses.

"Tell me about those guys," he put his hands on his sides, raised his head and seemed to think seriously for a while, an unmistakable smile appeared in his blue eyes, "if I want to sum it up, they are probably idiots. Right. Totally stupid."

Yae turned his head, before he had time to hide himself: "How are those idiots doing recently?"

"Who knows, but it must be alive and kicking somewhere. Those guys, the King of Hades will not accept them." Chen Ma dragged the end of his voice.

"It's true." Yae relaxed, and then realized that the other party was looking at him.

She paused: "Chen Ma."

"?"

"You are a very good friend."

Someone who looks like an idiot might be unexpectedly sharp, but even if he sensed something, Tatsuma didn't show it.He laughed and said, "...What's the matter? You really startled me by saying that suddenly."

"It's nothing, it's just intuition." Yae laughed along with him.

Finger tracing the rim of the coffee cup, she added:

"Thank you."

This is a heartfelt thank you.

The communicator in the windbreaker pocket vibrated, and Chen Ma came back to his senses.

"...Sorry, the pleasant afternoon trip may be coming to an end here." He stood up with a sorry expression on his face, "If I don't go back, I really will lose my life."

"It is a sin to leave such a lovely young lady alone."

With an exaggerated Tosa accent and antics, the other party managed to make her laugh.

"You'd better leave quickly, Your Excellency the Captain of the Quick Aid Squad." Yae raised his jaw.

"Don't send me off?"

"No delivery."

"We are destined to meet again! We must meet destined to meet again!"

The figure in the scarlet long windbreaker turned his head three times, and finally disappeared among the tourists coming and going in the square.

Water drops fall into the jade pond, splashing warm and transparent light.Not far away, there was a family with children sitting by the hot spring. Several children chased and beat each other, and their laughter spread far away through the water curtain.

Yae sat on the steps for a while holding the coffee cup that was still warm.When she was about to get up, she casually glanced to the side, and found the empty wallet that the other party accidentally left behind.

what.

With an unexpected single sound in his heart, Yae leaned over to pick it up, and a small piece of paper floated down from the gap in the wallet and landed on the white stone steps, with the back facing up.

Yae recognized the hiragana signed on it - "Smile Bar".

If she remembered correctly, that was the name of the place where Shinpachi's older sister worked.

After a slight pause, Yae picked up the piece of paper and turned it over, only to find that it was a photo taken a few months ago.

In the photo, Tatsuma fell asleep on the sofa, and the woman sitting on the far right of the sofa was wearing a pansy-colored kimono, her hair tied with hairpins, and she had the same brown pupils as Shinpachi.

The photographer who secretly took the photo is unknown. The scene in the photo looks messy, but everyone has a smile on their face.

Yae was about to put the photo back, when she seemed to be distracted by something, she saw a figure passing by the camera behind her.

Her long black hair was wrapped in sandalwood paper, and the maiden in white robes was elegant and elegant. Her eyes revealed a freshness that previous priests did not have, and she was as confident as a summer flower in full bloom.

The sound of the fountain, the sound of the crowd shouting, the noise of running, and the fluttering of the birds' wings.And the steps under her feet, the open square, the bright sunlight—all of it.

When you look at the figure in the photo clearly, all these disappear.

Although not exactly the same, but at least [-]% similar - she was sure that she had seen this face before.

More than 1000 years ago, she had seen this face.

……

Yae didn't remember closing her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the dim lights came into view. She was standing in a strange room, and outside the window was the remnant night wrapped in thick fog.A figure sat in front of the bronze mirror with his back to her, with thin white underwear and long black hair like satin.

……

……"who is it?"

Her heart suddenly ached, piercing to the bone.

……

Tens of thousands of light-years away, the Naraku Thirteenth Generation of Amaterasu Institute on Earth received a message.

——The itinerary was cancelled, and the entire fleet turned back.

With just a few cold words, the plan was completely disrupted.

Hazy closed her eyes, and said in a deep voice to Naraku who was kneeling in the shadows behind her:

"Ready to stand by."
