[Gintama] Silent

After the Red Cherry Incident, the two factions that were originally allies broke apart completely.

Takasugi and the others were seriously injured, and the heavily weakened Ghost Squad stopped for a while.

Because the means of transportation were damaged a lot during the battle, a group of people could only temporarily live in Chunyu's battleship, and their lives were extremely aggrieved.

Fortunately, the governor is a rich master, and the new giant ship and equipment were quickly shipped in, and the team members were not left under the fence for too long.

The days without tasks are really hard-won, Renjian is naturally happy to be idle, and spends every day in the kitchen practicing cooking skills without any improvement.

However, she was a model worker after all, and she felt bored after a long time, thinking that she might as well take this opportunity to go out.

The internal management of the Ghost Squad was far beyond her imagination. She thought it would take a lot of effort to convince the guards, but she didn't expect to be let go easily.

It wasn't until both feet stepped on the land that Hasumi felt the long-lost steadfastness and stability.

God knows how long they've been flying in the air. Fortunately, I don't suffer from seasickness, otherwise I would only live to survive but not die.

Edo is still bustling, with shops of all sizes crowded together.The boss yelled a few words to the street from time to time, and occasionally attracted a few customers into the store.

A young man was standing in front of the vending machine at this time, and his simple black uniform made his figure extremely tall and straight.

I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance of the Shinsengumi here.

Lian Jian stepped forward and greeted him familiarly: "Mr. Okita, long time no see, are you on patrol?"

The other party turned around and was a little surprised when he saw her: "Miss Hasumi? It's been a long time. During this period of time, where have you been sent to perform tasks?"

"..."

If Takasugi knew that his ghost army was described like this, he would definitely come to you without stopping to fight for his life.

She shook her index finger lightly, and replied with a smile, "This is an internal secret and should not be revealed easily."

Okita tactfully didn't ask any more questions, and the two chatted casually.

The number of pedestrians coming and going on the road gradually increased, and they all turned their heads to wait and see. After all, it is really rare for a police boy and a woman to stand and chat together.

Hasumi also noticed that their combination seemed rather strange, so he had to say goodbye to each other with a smile—"Remember to say hello to Director Kondo and Mr. Hijikata for me!"

In the end, he was perfunctory from the other party: "Ah... don't worry, I will definitely bring the greetings from the former. As for the guy who loves to eat dog food, let's forget it, and now I have no intention of talking to him at all."

The deputy chief of the Shinsengumi and the captain of the first team have always been at odds. Not only the police in Edo know about this matter, but almost everyone in the shogunate has heard about it.

After all, Okita picked up the barrel and fired at his boss without saying a word.And the scene where the latter picks up the samurai/sword angrily and never gives up until he chases a chicken and dog jumps is often staged.

Renjian and the others feasted their eyes several times for witnessing such a wonderful scene, and later even secretly opened the bet.

Although almost everyone will press the earth side, there is no doubt that they will lose.

She didn't quite know what was going on between the two, but she was completely familiar with this tone of dislike for mentioning each other.

The boy opened the package of the drink he just bought, and waved his hand to signal for him to take a step ahead.Hasumi seemed to suddenly think of something, and hastily called out to stop him.

Seeing the other party turning back in doubt, she carefully considered her words: "Recently, please pay more attention, whether it is Edo or Shinsengumi."

The ghost soldiers didn't move for a long time, but it doesn't mean they will let it go.If you really want to go to the step of overthrowing the shogunate, you will not bypass this police organization anyway.

It's always good to be careful.

Okita Wenyan only showed a thoughtful expression, with a calmness and ability that did not match his age.

He said "um", and then left, leaving only a gradually blurred figure behind.

Hasumi finally returned to that place.

In order to complete the task, she has been lurking in Yoshihara for a little longer, and has not been here for some time.

The Royal Court Fanzhong is still the same as before, but now it seems that there is no trace of human habitation, and it is unbelievably deserted.

Clogs stepped on the corridor, making a "slapping" sound, which was clearly audible.

In the room at the end, a man was sitting cross-legged at the table, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

After taking a deep breath, she finally shouted, "I'm back."

But the other party just nodded slightly the moment he saw him.

Aoike is Hasumi's teacher and benefactor.

One day a long time ago, he picked up an orphan from the side of the road, and he has taken care of him and counseled him patiently ever since.

Teach literacy, kendo, strategy, but also how to behave.

She has always felt that such kindness cannot be repaid, and she can only desperately complete the tasks that have been continuously conveyed.

No matter how hard he tried, the man's face was always expressionless, without much emotion, as if he had no emotions at all.

Just like at this time, when he saw the student he hadn't seen for a long time, he didn't show too much emotion, but just replied "how's the situation".

She suddenly felt a little melancholy, and could only start to describe what she had seen and heard in the ghost army.

The Hongying incident caused too much commotion, and I thought it would not end smoothly.Fortunately, the Moderate faction was killed halfway, and this was able to resolve the matter.

During the whole process, Qingchi never said a word, and kept tapping his fingers on the desk, as if he was thinking about something.

When telling the ending, Hasumi subconsciously paused for some reason.

After all, it ended hastily, without mentioning the appearance of Chunyu.

After the report was over, the room suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere was so depressing that she didn't dare to breathe freely.

"Is there any other information?"

This sentence seemed to come from a distant place, but it suddenly exploded in the ear, awakening every nerve in the body.

Hasumi bowed her head, with a slight tremor in her voice: "No."

She wanted to raise her eyes, but she was afraid of meeting the other party's too sharp eyes, so she could only stand there calmly in this posture.

"Continue to carry out the mission," Qingchi finally said after a long silence, "Be careful not to reveal your identity."

She took the order to leave, but suddenly stopped when she reached out to open the door, mustering up the courage to ask.

"Teacher, is it worth it for us to do this?"

In fact, Hasumi has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

The areas where spies are active are very wide, ranging from high-level politicians to ordinary people, all within the scope of their attention.

It's not that I haven't seen the tragic situation of the people living in dire straits, but there is no way to change the situation in front of me.

However, what is the shogunate, which is clearly capable of making a difference, doing?

Indulging in wine and meat, blindly submitting to heaven and man.Wantonly squeezed out dissidents and killed loyal ministers on trumped-up charges.

The disciples of the Royal Court Fanzhong walked away and scattered, and the organization that could have been close to the core of power was now besieged on all sides and in jeopardy.

However, they still assist the general wholeheartedly, using their lives and strategies that are not cherished.

Sometimes, Hasumi would even suddenly have some kind of terrible thought—is it really time for this world to reshuffle the cards?

It's a pity that the status of a subordinate imprisoned all positive thoughts.

The only thing she can do is to kneel down docilely and accept every wise or stupid decision from the upper class.

Then he has no choice but to continue to live the life of licking blood on the tip of the knife.

Involuntary, involuntary.

If you can't even control your heart, let alone your body?

But when God brought suffering to mankind, he still left something worth thinking about.

That's why she was so hopeful, and told Qingchi, who was also a father and a teacher, the confusion she had hidden for a long time.

Unfortunately, the reality finally let her down.

The man who holds a lot of confidential information and is very important in the political arena, but he just slammed down a sentence, and even the volume increased a lot unconsciously.

"I don't want to hear this kind of words again in the future."

Hasumi had his back to the desk, so he couldn't see any expression on his face.

But it can be clearly felt that apart from anger, there are some other emotions that cannot be clearly explained in this sentence.

But she was suddenly disheartened, and she didn't want to bother to discuss this unanswered question.

He could only answer "yes" silently, and then opened the door in front of him. Such a simple action seemed to exhaust all the strength in his body.

The sound of "crack" from the paper door mixed with the sound of hurried footsteps, all rushed into Hasumi's mind, making the always agile and active thinking stagnate instantly.

Qingchi was still sitting cross-legged in front of the table, with a calm expression as if he had never heard anything he said before.

She was suddenly a little confused, whether the scene she saw was a fragment of reality, or a phantom in a dream.

Clogs stepped on the corridor, making a "slapping" sound, which was clearly audible.

It also reminded her over and over again that everything that happened just now is real.

The Royal Court Fanzhong is still the same as before, but now it seems that there is no trace of human habitation, and it is unbelievably deserted.

There are not many disciples left here, they came quietly, and then left quietly without leaving any news.

So I can't be like usual, when I provoke Qingchi to be angry, I hurriedly find my companions to learn from them, and then try to please him together.

Perhaps in the future, she will be the only one left on this long and narrow road.

The author has something to say:

Refer to the settings of the Royal Court Fanzhong in "Rurouni Kenshin", and add the samurai faction.The girl is in charge of intelligence work, and they are colleagues with the earthwork.
