[Gintama] Immortal

It was a strange dream, the beginning was as abrupt as the end, and there was no pattern to follow.

Yae clearly remembered that she was standing in the dark storm, surrounded by pouring rain and stern wind, but it seemed that someone was holding scissors, and cut off the connection between her and the past with a click, the foothold was pulled away from her feet, and she suddenly Falling back to reality, she trembled when her back touched the ground, she opened her eyes, and in a daze, she saw the dark wooden courtyard with clear sight.

The light outside the window is not bright, it must be a cloudy day.

The location... appears to be Earth.Familiar Japanese-style buildings, the familiar fragrance of pines and cypresses, the sound of wind blowing outside, and the rustling sound of falling leaves—the unique tone of autumn.

When she left the earth, she remembered very clearly that the cherry blossoms in late spring had not yet bloomed.

This thought flashed through her blank mind, and after a pause, Yae propped herself up from the bed and sat up. As she got up, the feathers covering the quilt slipped slightly, and the wide sleeves opened like crow's wings.

"you're awake."

A low and gentle voice sounded beside her, Yae turned her head, a long white and slender hand stretched out, picked up the haori familiarly and naturally, put it on her body which was only wearing a single shirt, and surrounded her.

Yae looked at Xu for a while, and looked behind him, the paper door revealed a gap, and the world outside the gap was covered with red maple, like colorful reflections.

It's really autumn.

It's not like she's experienced upside-down seasons before, but it's been a long time ago.

Yae looked at her palm. Strictly speaking, it was not her hand, and this body was not hers, but something she rented temporarily.Probably because she has not recovered from the long sleep, she has a strange sense of unreality, the body she has been used to—or having a body itself—suddenly feels strange.

"...What month is it now?"

She watched her fingers slowly stretch without purpose.

Open up.keep it.connected to consciousness.

"Late October."

Xu Hui didn't show many expressions, and now he also had the most common smile on his face, but his gaze was fixed on her all the time, not falling for a second while she was getting familiar with her body again.

Yae stopped moving: "Half a year?"

According to her impression, she only stayed in the universe for more than a month.

Xu Xu pinned the broken hair on Yae's cheeks behind the ear and pressed it well.The two of them were getting close, but he didn't withdraw his movement, his palms slipped down along her back shoulders silently, wrapping her back around her back and taking her into his arms.

The hypothermic body temperature is not much different from that of a normal person. Yae was sorting out her thoughts, her deep voice fell in her hair, and she casually said the seemingly obvious facts.

"you are sick."

"..."

Yae felt that her reaction should be a little bigger, at least she should say something like her usual self, such as being sick for half a year, does dragon blood have fake and shoddy products? It's okay if the hanging hook jade can reach me.

But she lacks a real sense of her current situation, and when she closes her eyes, she is full of those bizarre scenes in her dream.

The reality is oil, and she is water, and they cannot blend perfectly.

Noticing her distraction, darkness welled up in the depths of her scarlet eyes, but soon calmed down again.He lowered his eyes and asked her, "What are you thinking?"

"...a lot, but I don't seem to think about anything."

"Then don't think about it." Xu Wen said, "You are already awake."

Yae didn't say a word, just kissed her hair, her voice was gentle, low and soothing: "You just fell ill, Yae."

Taking off the mask of Yatagari, the ruler of Amaterasu-in Naraku has a handsome and elegant face. If it is not for the gloomy and cold look in the red pupils, it is almost hard to imagine the blood on this person's hands.

"It's all right now."

The voice whispering in Yae's ear seemed to have incredible patience.The illusion of tenderness.

She knew she was not sick.Her current condition is more serious than sick.

But the hand around her waist was so tight that no one could break it.What Yae wanted to say, the other party didn't seem to intend to let her say it.

"You'll be fine." He whispered.

must.

In the afternoon of the next day, Oboro brought him over.

After the paper door was closed, Miss Miko let out a long breath with an expression of wanting to scold, but kept holding back, raised her beautiful eyes, and met Yae's gaze.

Those eyes are as vivid as the ones in the photo, full of brilliance, and like the owner of the eyes, they should not appear in a place like Tenshoin Naraku.

Yae sat at the tea table, resting his chin with one hand, and suddenly said:

"You look a lot like your ancestors."

Miss Miko's figure froze.

When ordinary people hear this sentence, they will probably first doubt whether she is mentally normal or not, but should it be said that witches are different? The other party sat quietly for a while, and put away the expression that was suffocating before.

"My... little girl's name is Ayin."

As he spoke, the other party touched the ground with his fingertips politely, bowed his head and bowed to her.

Yae wanted to wave his hand and say no, but the other party's posture was full of arrogance, as if this overly polite approach was some kind of weak but firm resistance.

She thought about it for a while, but the other party didn't know herself, and she didn't know that she regarded him as a friend in Yinshi's circle, so she withdrew her half-stretched hand.

"Are you Miss Miko who came to help me see a doctor?" She felt that she was smiling, maybe because she was thinking of Yinshi, or maybe she wanted to appease him and express some kindness.Tenshoin Naraku is not a place to relax.

"You can call me Yae. By the way, I am a rare normal person here. You can relax."

Yae opened the iron box on the tea table, intending to find some refreshments as a meeting gift.

The senbei tasted too dry, the yokan was too greasy, the matcha biscuit was expired, and I wondered if there was any left of the chocolate she had secretly hidden before.

Yazhong was rummaging through the refreshments. On the other side, Ayin straightened up, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a neutral tone: "Do you have any misunderstanding of the definition of normal people?"

After a pause, Yae put down the box and turned his head with a serious expression: "I was discovered by you. I'm actually not a human being."

"..." Is there anyone who scolds me like that?

"There are three kinds of existence in this place," Yae held up three fingers, "abnormal human, abnormal non-human, and normal non-human. And I belong to the latter."

An expression appeared on A Yin's face that he wanted to complain but couldn't.

"Please advise, Miss Ayin."

"... Please give me more advice."

"So," Yae laughed, "shall we start with the diagnosis first?"

After the words fell, the Japanese room was quiet for a moment. Ayin frowned slightly, but decided to tell the truth: "With my ability and knowledge, I can't make an immediate diagnosis."

"How to say?"

"I don't know... your original body."

The maple shadow in the courtyard was reflected on the paper door, and Yae rubbed the warm teacup in his hand: "I am not someone in this organization, you can just keep talking, you don't need to wait for my signal."

"As a witch, I can feel that you are not a human being, no matter how detailed..." Ayin's voice became a little anxious, just a little, but the feeling of restlessness was still revealed.

Yae raised her head and looked at her for a while: "Are you here alone?"

Ayin fell silent.

"You can lie to me." Yae probably wanted to know what she had experienced, so she slowed down her tone, "You don't need to say what you don't want to say."

There was no one in the Japanese room to speak again, the tea in the cup was empty, and Yae was about to add another cup, A Yin closed his palms, and silently clenched his cuffs: "I still have a younger sister."

Yae put down his movements: "She was brought here too?"

"I don't know where she was locked up, Baiyin...my sister..." Ayin couldn't finish her sentence.

"I'm sorry." Yae said softly.

A Yin glanced at her, but didn't say you don't have to apologize.

Everyone in Amaterasu's Naraku is probably an enemy in the other party's eyes.At present, she can only be regarded as an enemy who cannot be offended, and may have to cooperate.

"... Does that person look scary?" Yae looked away slightly, "If you have already seen him."

A Yin didn't make a sound.Seeing the other party like this, she couldn't guess anything.

Yae originally held tiny hopes that Oboro would take over the whole process.Although Oboro's expressionless coffin face is scary, at least it is still in the human category. As for Xu... Naraku always looks like he dare not breathe in front of him.

Yae: "Did he kill you?"

Ayin remained silent.

"Ah, sure enough, I did something too much."

She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

This is of course more than excessive.Tianzhaoyuan Naraku is a place where you can only go in and out, and outsiders are tied in, so basically there is no way to go back alive.

For the time being, she couldn't think of a way to guarantee the lives of the two of them.Xu seems to have become milder on the surface recently, and her tone of voice is closer to gentle than usual, but she can't go to the back mountain now, and the scope of her activities is narrowed to the academy, and she stays in the room almost all day , because Naraku would check up frequently, as if she could evaporate out of thin air.

He seemed to be smiling, but he was actually in a very gloomy mood. His intuition told her that it would be dangerous to plead with Xu, and the possibility of him compromising was zero.No matter what she said now, he seemed to be unable to listen.

Yae sat on the edge of the tea table and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a feasible next step.

There is no way to focus on reality, and naturally there is no way to completely calm down and think about countermeasures. After waking up, she has been in a bad state. The invisible barrier, the consciousness will slide away and disperse immediately, no matter how you gather, you will not be able to gather together.

When she came back to her senses, the tea in the pot was already cold.

After being left alone for a long time, Ayin sat there, looking at her with strange eyes.

"Oh, I was stunned by accident, sorry, sorry."

Yae smiled and said, "Where did we talk just now?"

"You said before," Ayin paused, and said, "I look a lot like my ancestors."

Her eyes became slightly serious: "What does this sentence mean?"

To build the weakest trust, the exchange of intelligence is the foundation.

The other party suddenly confessed to her about his sister, and this is probably what they want to exchange.

"Literally. More than 1000 years ago, I met your ancestors." The tea was cold and I couldn't drink it. Yae tapped the table again and again, and then put away his knuckles. "But... At that time, "I" probably It cannot be said that it is "I". "

A Yin frowned: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about."

"To be honest, I don't quite understand either." Yae knew he was laughing, with the corners of his lips curled up, a very ordinary smile.It was like a conditioned reflex, she subconsciously laughed first when faced with a topic that she didn't know how to bring up.

"Will the current priestess still perform the "god descending" ceremony? "

"you mean……"

The so-called witches used to refer to psychic mediums who passed on oracles from the gods.When an apprentice girl formally becomes a shaman, she will hold a "sentence" ceremony to deliver the first oracle. In more popular words, it is basically a wedding.Apprentice witches dedicate themselves to the gods, expressing their determination to serve the gods for life. After the ceremony, there will often be a general wedding banquet to celebrate.

At least, that's generally the case.

"When I met your ancestor, a very serious plague was spreading in the surrounding area. People tried various methods, prayed to various gods, and finally invited the old witch who lived in a remote fishing village." Yae casually Turning the teacup in his hand.

"The old witch said that the spreading plague was a natural disaster from the dragon god. To let the plague go away, you have to rely on the power of the dragon god. The governor in charge of that area listened to the old witch and the epidemic was brought under control, but he Gradually, I became greedy and wanted to take the power of the Dragon God for myself."

"The priest who is close to Master Guosi suggested to him that a suitable girl should be selected to perform the "god descending" ceremony, and the power of the dragon god should be lowered to mortals. "

Yae paused.

"But in the end, there was a bit of an accident during the 'Seance' ceremony. "

"……Accident?"

In the dream, a pitch-black storm roared and raged on the sea, the world was cloudy and dark, and the rain was so heavy that people couldn't open their eyes. Some people were crying, some were praying, but these faint voices were all drowned out, and finally only A kind of hopeless and gigantic rage.

"The girl is dead."

The girl who could not speak was sacrificed to a god that did not exist, and became the source of that disaster.

The author has something to say:

Offer a knee to the big guy who guessed it

90.00% of Yae's old background has been exposed, basically no difference
