[Gintama] Riding on the back of the Silver Dragon

When playing cards, the passage of time became extremely fast. When the clock struck midnight, everyone wished each other a happy new year. Songyang suggested that it was time to change clothes and go to the shrine just after the new year.

"I... I haven't decided whether to go or not. What if someone comes to the emergency room or calls at this time, and I'm not here..." She still hesitated, but she couldn't hold back the children's persuasion: "It's just a short time, no There is a situation!" "Where will someone come to the clinic on New Year's Eve!" Even Songyang persuaded her: "Let's go and come back quickly, I don't think there will be any problems, and it is impossible not to go to the shrine during the New Year."

"...Well, can I go in about half an hour? I want to go back to the room and change clothes. You also need to change your clothes a little?" The woman raised her hands in surrender, so the four of Matsushita Village School stayed in the room and changed into the ones for the shrine. Formal clothes, she hurried back to the room and opened the wardrobe.

The kimono placed at the bottom is a kimono that is rarely worn. Thinking about it carefully, the last time I wore this set of clothes was about a year and a half ago, to attend the wedding of the neighbor's mother-in-law and son.The woman unfolded the kimono, looked at the dressing table, and took a long time to make up her mind.

Now that I have decided to pay a good visit to the shrine, let's dress up, let alone... go with him.

"The doctor is so slow. Do women take this long before they go out?" Having already changed into formal attire, the silver-time boy gnawed on the senbei boredly, his cheeks bulging like a squirrel. Hearing him complain, Songyang Smiling, flicked the boy's forehead hard with his index finger, and educated:

"Yinshi, if you always think like this, girls will not like you in the future. For women, going out is a big event, and they need to be well groomed. The doctor just said that half an hour is not enough. ?”

"What... what! Teacher Songyang, you always speak for others!" Yin Shi still tried to argue with the teacher, but his two classmates looked thoughtful when they heard the teacher's words, but here The quarrel between teachers and students did not last long, and the woman appeared in front of everyone half an hour later very punctually.

Wearing a pink furisode kimono, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and peonies are painted on it. The colors are quite colorful. The woman usually wears her long hair in a ponytail into a bun at the back of her head, and wears a hydrangea-shaped hair ornament. The long nets hang down like wisteria flowers, almost falling on her shoulders.On weekdays, Suli's face can be seen wearing some light makeup, but the most obvious thing is...

"Don't you wear glasses?" Songyang asked in surprise. He knew that Dr. Hasumi was highly myopic. If he didn't wear glasses, he would basically have reached the state of "you can't distinguish between men and women at a distance of five meters, and you can't distinguish between humans and animals at a distance of ten meters." , but the woman smiled like a flower, her brown eyes seemed to be filled with light, she smiled and replied: "Oh, contact lenses, only once today."

"The doctor is very beautiful." The boy Gaoshan praised, and Gui who was beside him also nodded, and added, "Better than usual." This immediately made the two of them gain the favor of women, and she bent down and hugged the two boys slightly Suddenly, he took out the beautifully wrapped envelope from his arms.

"Thank you, come on, this is Takasugi-kun and Gui-kun's new year's money."

"Ah! New Year's money! Ah Yin wants it too! Ah Yin is obviously a child too!" The boy Yinshi who hadn't had time to please the doctor could only shout to express his dissatisfaction, and the woman stretched out her hand to pinch his swollen face , and then took out an envelope. "Of course I have also prepared for Yin Shijun, so don't worry."

The children were happily collecting the New Year's money - Yinshi even opened it to see how much money was inside. Suddenly, a white and slender hand appeared in front of her. She raised her head and raised her eyebrows, and saw the young man smiling face, very confidently said to her:

"Is there no part for me?"

"You are such an old man, and you still ask me for New Year's money like the children?" She directly folded her arms and deliberately put on a straight face, but seeing the innocent look on the young man's face, she couldn't hold back in the end, and pouted laughed out.The woman spread her hands and twirled lightly on her toes. The tassels on her head also twirled along with her movements. Flowers bloomed on the sleeves and skirts. She asked:

"How about this body?"

The young man didn't answer, but his eyes clearly explained everything.

It was still cold outside, but the air was filled with the smell of the New Year. Many people went to the shrine on New Year’s Eve like them. The road was crowded with people, and the trees on the roadside were covered with red lights and knots for blessing.Several children fought with each other, and soon walked in front of them.

"It's so beautiful." She suddenly heard a man's voice, turned her head and found that he was looking at her.

"Are you talking about my clothes? The reflection arc is a bit long." Thinking that he was answering the question just now, the woman blinked, but the young man's next words immediately made her feel like a deer.

"I am talking about you."

——It’s so strange, how could the world that should be noisy, suddenly become quiet? She heard her own beating heart, heard his breathing, people coming and going on the road, but she couldn’t hear other sounds , It was as quiet as if there were only her and him between the sky and the earth.

For the first time, she forgot how far the road was, and she was just by his side, following his steps, walking forward with her head down, her hands tightly clenched into fists in her sleeves, and the woman secretly glanced at him hanging on his shoulders. The hand beside her, quietly thinking, if he could hold her hand, it would be great.

There are more people in the shrine on the mountain than expected. The midnight bell has long passed. After the visit, everyone is scrambling to get the first lottery of the new year. The priest in the shrine even distributes sweets to the children. It’s finally their turn. They, when she unfolded the signing paper with great anticipation, the "Xiaoji" inside still made her quite happy.However, he didn't have this good luck—the man raised the paper with "fierce" written on it, his face full of distress.

"Oh, it seems that I should not go out this year."

"Only Mr. Songyang is fierce, we are all lucky." Gui of Zhongji looked around and came to a conclusion.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Songyang! Go ask again, maybe you will be lucky!" Takasugi of Daji suggested.

"Songyang, just go again, ah, I want to be with you!" Sueji's Gintoki was obviously dissatisfied.

The young man shook his head and put away the lottery paper, "There is only one chance to ask for a lottery. If you go and try again because the lottery you asked for is not what you want, it will be meaningless. However, this also reminds me, new I have to pay attention to it in the next year." Seeing that the teacher said so, the students gave up trying to persuade them.Since it is a bad luck, everyone hugs Songyang and hangs the lottery on the tree to eliminate bad luck.

Looking at the young man's slender back hanging the stick on the tree, she suddenly trembled, and an impulse surged up in her heart for no reason.

In addition to asking for lottery, another important activity is to hang up New Year's wishes ema.The shrine was already filled with wishes written with various colored pens. Holding a small wooden block, she hesitated for a long time, but still wrote down exactly the same wish as in the past 20 years.

"I hope that more people will be happy and that everyone will be healthy and happy."

"What did you write?" After hanging up, Songyang suddenly asked her.The woman looked at his curious face, and truthfully told her dream for many years, but hid her more real and urgent desire deeply in her heart.

That's not a wish she's willing to hang out, she doesn't even expect anyone to know about it, as long as it stays in her heart, it only belongs to her.

After putting away the ema, it stands to reason that it is time to go back, and she did say that she should go early and return early to avoid urgent matters at the clinic.However, the children who were so excited to play obviously forgot about this: Gintoki ran to the priest to ask for sugar, and took Katsura and Takasugi together, and they agreed to meet at the pine tree in front of the shrine in 15 minutes. "Why don't we go and wait for them first?" The young man suggested, and she nodded.

The huge pine tree is the symbol of Matsumoto Village. This is an old pine tree that is said to be more than a hundred years old. In summer, children always come to the tree to enjoy the shade and play. However, on this New Year’s Eve, there are not many people around the tree. Everyone Duo was in a hurry to go to the shrine to pay homage, and she stood with him in a deserted place by the tree, watching the crowds of people passing by.

"It's really lively." She said from the bottom of her heart. This is the first time she has come to this shrine on New Year's Eve, and it is also the first time she has been accompanied by someone in the village. They said they came to disturb her, but in fact, they did not Unknowingly, it filled the tiny sense of loneliness in her heart, and it was the first time since her father passed away that she spent such a happy New Year's Eve.

"So, it's worth coming here, right?" The young man's voice was still gentle, looking at his handsome profile, she suddenly recalled the impulse she had just had.

"Songyang, you... you turn around and lower down a little bit." Words were faster than brains, her voice was trembling, the hands hidden in the sleeves, the nails were almost digging into the skin, this was a decision that exhausted her courage for a year .He didn't know what to do, but still did as she said.

Then he felt a very light kiss on his forehead, like a cherry blossom brushing across the water.

"New Year's blessing kiss - my father told me in the past that it can bring people good luck." She hurriedly explained, her face was as red as a cherry blossom in March. "Did you draw a bad omen just now? I hope--I hope this can wash away your bad luck, so that your new year will definitely have good luck..."

"Thank you, Miyuki." She was still talking, but he interrupted her. Hearing him call her name directly for the first time, the woman's voice stopped abruptly, and the young man's face was no longer the usual expression. His usual light smile, his eyes still revealed a kind of clarity like lake water under the moonlight in this dark night, surrounded by such eyes, anyone would feel as warm and comfortable as bathing in a hot spring.

But now, he only looked at her alone.

This man is worthy of her feelings for him.Even if she was never willing to reveal her heart, and did not expect a special future between them, she could still be so sure.

The author has something to say: Takasugi and Gui: The precautions for learning how to get along with women, and, the teacher really likes doctors, right?

The students all said that we are very cooperative and firmly support the teacher's pursuit of happiness. If there is no opportunity, we should create opportunities for the teacher and doctor to be alone. We are considerate students and excellent assisters.

I have never understood why some of the students in the fandom are very hostile to women who approach the teacher, and all kinds of things hinder the possible marriage of the teacher. Can someone tell me...?Anyway, if I found out that the teacher I like might be getting married, I would definitely ask him for sugar and want to see photos of the bride.
