[Gintama] Craftsman's Word

When Kamui broke the first umbrella I made for him, the purple color of the mountain elm on his palm had not long faded.The umbrella handle and ribs were all broken, and there was no possibility of repair.

I grabbed Kamui's collar and shook it violently, he scratched his head and laughed without remorse, and after laughing, he stuck to my arm and acted like a baby.Seeing his lovely face and watery blue eyes, I surrendered and promised to make a second umbrella for him as soon as possible.

When I woke up from a dream, the chaotic dream confused my memory. It seemed to be a period before the serious injury, and it seemed to be a special area that was unpredictable. The memory was changed into a blank.

When I woke up that morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, a beautiful face poked out from above, showing worry and anxiety.I was taken aback, and after dodging reflexively, I still asked him politely who the child was, and told him that no one could enter the back of the workshop at will.

A simple sentence made a big mess. He grabbed my shoulders rudely and questioned me repeatedly. After I repeatedly emphasized that I really don't know him...

His expression collapsed.The straight facial features are still exquisite, but they have lost their lively vitality.The expressionless face seemed to be unreadable because of its calmness, but the whole person was empty, as if it had lost an important treasure.

Because of the continuous rain and the dark room, the pale expression lost its three-dimensionality like a picture, and it was imprinted into my brand-new memory with great impact, and the subsequent clips can be played back in my mind after a short thought.

At that time, I was infected by the atmosphere of sudden loss. Seeing his sad and empty appearance, my heart was also sour.I wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade. Just when I was at a loss, he stretched out a hand and covered my forehead.

"What should I do, Su..."

The small palm is firmer than I expected, and it was a little cold when it was first attached, but it quickly became warm.I was just soft-hearted, so I couldn't help but patted his shoulder and held his hand for comfort.

The low air flowed silently for a while, and the stupefied hair on top of the orange-pink head suddenly trembled, and the person with the stunned hair followed closely with a "hahaha" laugh.

"Su, tell me, you used to have a little bit of cleverness in your head, but now it's burned out, what will you do in the future hahahaha!"

To this day, I still don't understand how, with integrity like me, I would know such a vicious guy as Shenwei, who is not kind to others, not kind to others, and not kind to others.

Later, with Shenwei's simple narration and Master's testimony, I understood the glorious deeds of me and Shenwei working hand in hand... oh, our glorious deeds.Although at the end of the story, Shenwei and I relied on the rescue of Mr. Xinghai Fangzhu to escape the killing of Baijiao, but at least we fought forward and did not retreat.

I turned my back to Master and gave a thumbs up to my fearless and decisive self, just in time for Shenwei to see him, he winked at me slyly, and I gave him a middle finger to him who was desperate for my life and dragged my back.

According to what Shenwei told me in private, before I really woke up, I woke up once in a half-dream, half-awake, and took the opportunity to do very, very excessive things to him.

I can’t remember the dream clearly, only some scattered fragments flashed in front of my eyes occasionally, and I couldn’t grasp the clear meaning; listening to Shenwei’s description, I vaguely felt that I was really dominated in a half-dream and half-awake. Action, but also can't remember clearly, Shenwei said too much, I had to admit it.

When Kamui pointed his fingers up and emphasized "too much", his blue eyes shone brilliantly, and it could be seen that he was disappointed with my bland reaction.Disappointed, Shenwei ran to me more diligently to brush up his presence, and told me all the information I cared about and didn't care about.For example, he is 366 days younger than me, and there is a sister in my family who is four years younger than him, and we once swore to each other...

I'm not interested in checking Shenwei's household registration, but I don't want to hinder Shenwei's efforts to help me retrieve my memory. As for my "everyday alliance" with him... I was worried that in the style of Master, he would prevent me from continuing to communicate with Shenwei, but it turned out Not only did the master not object, but he also taught me earnestly that since the promise was made, it must be fulfilled earnestly. Whether he is a mercenary or a pirate, Yetu's fighting nature and his trustworthy character are not necessarily equal or deviated from each other.

Master's attitude made me doubtful, but I was very happy to hear that after he recovered from his injury, he could maintain a "close and friendly communication" with Shenwei, so I didn't go into those details any further.

I welcomed the arrival of Shenwei, whose force value is obviously higher than mine, and I turned a blind eye to the fact that he was always at my house during the day, eating, drinking, and getting medicine, but Shenwei's extraordinary enthusiasm made me very excited. Can't bear it anymore - he still rubs against the bed at night!

Would Mr. Xinghai Fangzhu mistreat you? Why did you stay at my house and not go back!

I tried various methods but failed to prevent Shenwei from sneaking into my arms in the middle of the night.Every morning when I wake up, my orange-pink head is resting on my shoulder, and once it just touched my chin, the hairy and itchy.The scenes of deja vu always make me blurry fragments of my memory, but they are always interrupted by the sweet smile and greetings of Shenwei who wakes up.

This cycle went back and forth for 7 days, and in the rare weak sunlight, I suddenly realized.

Shenwei's mother is weak and sick, and because she is busy taking care of his younger sister, she inevitably neglects him.And Shenwei seems to be sensible and doesn't need parents to worry about it. In fact, he is a child after all and needs someone to accompany him. He must think that he can find the warmth that he lacks in me. He is so obsessed with my lost memories. .

Shenwei didn't go home, but Mr. Xinghai Fangzhu didn't come to pick him up. He obviously trusted Master and me very much. I'm afraid that's why Master relaxed the restrictions on me.Whether it's for the hard-won freedom or the awkward but cute Kamui, I should respond to his expectations.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt it made sense, and a gleaming warm current surged in my heart, and I was full of enthusiasm for the new life that was about to start after the epiphany.All day long, I seemed to be bathed in a radiance that overshadowed the thin sunlight, and tried to pass it on to Kamui.Kamui smiled brightly all day, said goodbye to my kindness at dinner, and went home.

Alas, my lively and lovely younger brother has suddenly left. My sister is so disappointed.

After that, Shenwei still came to the workshop during the day, and I rested for ten days under the master's request, and finally I was able to exercise my muscles and bones, and fulfilled my promise to make Shenwei's umbrella.I really wanted to dye the umbrella surface into the purple of elm to match the dyeing in Shenwei's hand, but Shenwei insisted on it again and again, so I dyed the umbrella surface heavy red according to his wish.

Red is very difficult to dye. I spent a lot of effort to dye the color evenly and beautifully.It was such a precious umbrella that cost me a narrow escape and cost me a lot of painstaking efforts day and night to produce. Shenwei didn't know how to cherish it, and it was completely damaged in a blink of an eye.I threw it in the stove and decided the second umbrella was going to be dyed purple.

The second umbrella almost followed the footsteps of the first one into the stove. When I grabbed Shenwei's face, I lost the strength to strike hard.Kamui opened his hands to defend innocently, and pitifully showed the wound in front of my eyes. I scratched my hair hard, lamented that I was not up to date, and pulled out the medicine box to bandage him.

How on earth did I completely forget about Shenwei's beautiful face? It's obvious that when he acts like a baby, I can't do anything about it.

The third umbrella lasted a little longer. When Shenwei was worn out, he cut the hair next to his cheeks and braided a small braid no longer than his palm at the back of his head.

When I am in a good mood, I will help him comb and re-braid his messy hair during the fight.However, Shenwei dislikes my crooked weaving skills, and more often I do it myself.He always tried his best to keep home in the same tidy state as when he went out, so as not to worry about his mother.Once I thought that it would be fine for him not to go out and cause trouble, but then I thought that I was the one who contributed to the flames, helped the evil, helped him and even participated in the trouble, so I swallowed the words silently.

When Shenwei broke the sixth umbrella and replaced it with the seventh umbrella I made in advance, he told me that he had hired Ye Wang Fengxian as his master.Shenwei has always been involved with the Seventh Division of Chunyu, which belongs to Boss Fengxian, because of the spaceship. He also asked me to go hunting together a few times.Because I didn't want to deal with Boss Fengxian and Chunyu, I kept avoiding it as much as possible. I didn't expect Shenwei to talk about master and apprentice with Boss Fengxian so soon.

I am not dissatisfied with Boss Fengxian, and I have no plans to target him for the time being, and it is not necessarily bad for Shenwei to worship him as a teacher. After all, he is nothing but a fierce battle with Shenwei's father, Mr. Xinghai Fangzhu. , the person who has been invincible all these years and has ruled over the apex of our Night Rabbit clan.

It's just... Will he really not be beaten by Mr. Xinghai Fangzhu?I let my father ignore it, but I want to worship my father's deadly enemy as my teacher. Is there something in my heart that I can't get over it...

I stroked Shenwei's head pityingly, the child's closed heart lacked the warmth of his family.

Kamui showed a bright smile at me who was sad.

I knew that Kamui would be particularly awkward at times like this, and it's inevitable that boys don't want to be seen as weak.It's okay, I don't ask anything, just when you want to cry, you can rely on me as much as you want.

Kamui didn't cry, the way he vented was as awkward as the way he expressed it - he tortured me to his heart's content.

After Kamui broke the ninth umbrella, I stopped counting.

One by one, the materials used are getting better and better, and the construction is getting stronger and stronger, and the time of use in the hands of Shenwei is getting longer and longer. At the same time, we are growing up gradually.

Under the training of Shenwei, my combat power has been raised to the general level of Yatu. It could have been better, but the master strictly forbids me to fight to the death in any form.Master said that it was a concession to allow me to hone my fighting strength and protect myself. Shenwei did not raise any objections, nor did he encourage me to sneak out to hunt. But after I got rid of Master's tangible shackles, I still seemed to have an inexplicable invisible shackle. Tethered to me, I accepted the status quo.

When fighting against Kamui, once or twice very occasionally, power seeps out from hidden corners of the body.It feels as if the middle and higher ends of the U-shaped tube with uneven liquid levels flow to the lower part, and the power in my body is also moving towards balance.The inflowing power made me excited, but also a little uneasy, because with the inflowing power, there seemed to be something indescribable.

Kamui sneered and said that I have been weak for too long, and I would become suspicious if I became stronger a little bit.It made sense when I thought about it, so I listened to him increase the intensity of exercise and put my anxiety behind me.

Shenwei concealed from his parents the matter of worshiping Fengxian boss as his teacher, and it has never been exposed.I don't know when he intends to pierce it. Maybe it's the death of his weakening mother, or maybe he is determined to go to Chunyu.

I have no intention of stopping Kamui.I don't have parents, siblings, and I can't empathize with his desire to break up with the family, but I have seen his hesitation and distress, and I respect his wishes.

Even though I understood Shenwei's choice, I didn't expect that he would choose the most drastic method, let alone that he would come to ask me.

"Su, do you know about 'kin killing'?"
