[Comprehensive] Xifang Qi Tan

The last rays of the setting sun were submerged by the horizon, replaced by a river of stars across the night.

The three naughty boys who escaped from the private school crossed the crowd to the entrance of the festival, and saw one after another cute stalls had been erected on the road beside the ramp.

"Wow, the lantern was hung up all at once!"

"...I smell fried noodles."

"It's really delicious!"

Three short boys walked and watched near the festival stalls. Those red, yellow lanterns swayed in the wind, making the surrounding atmosphere even more lively.

"I really want to eat that grilled squid..."

Gui Xiaowulang looked at the food stalls, although he yearned for those delicacies, but he was from a poor family, so naturally he didn’t have the spare money to buy this kind of snacks, and he just wanted to watch the fireworks when he slipped out .

And Takasugi Shinsuke glanced helplessly at Katsura who had waist-length black hair next door, and Nunuzui couldn't satisfy his friend's wish, after all, he just severed ties with his father a while ago—he and his samurai family The relationship with him has long been quite estranged, not to mention the fact that he is now studying at the Matsushita private school, which has caused many complaints from the family every day.

So he, who was originally a young master, couldn't afford to spend this spare money.

He pursed his lips, and was about to cross those food stalls with Katsura Kogoro to watch other people play games, when that Sakata Gintoki who had been folding his hands behind his head and wearing a pair of dead fish eyes suddenly spoke again: " If you want to eat it, then just buy it back.”

"Where do we have this money!" Shinsuke Takasugi refused.

"We have." Sakata Gintoki's red eyes flashed a hint of cunning.

"Hey! Yinshi, do you have money?" Gui's eyes lit up, and seeing Sakata Yinshi's eyes at this moment, there must be a way.And the latter put his hands down, and smiled treacherously and took out a wallet from the hidden pocket of his sleeve: "I had expected this opportunity a long time ago... so when I came out, I walked out from Teacher Songyang." ...Huh?!"

The boy with silver hair and natural curly hair opened the purse, only to find that it was full of small stones.

What the hell is this!Could it be that Teacher Songyang even guessed his little moves!

His face turned blue, and when he came out, he wondered why Teacher Songyang's purse was so heavy, it turned out that it was all stolen and replaced with small stones.

Sakata Gintoki poured out the stones in despair in his eyes. As for Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kogoro, their hearts were even more complicated after seeing this scene—so what is the current situation? What kind of habitual offender?Or is Teacher Songyang too powerful?

It seems that no matter which side it is, they will have to be beaten when they go back.

The three boys of similar age looked at the sky and sighed at the same time—after all, isn't it torture to fantasize about tomorrow's punishment in this place where the aroma of delicious food is everywhere?

It seems that it is too early for them to compete with Teacher Songyang.

……

Shinsuke Takasugi and his group of three gave up the idea of ​​eating, but still didn't plan to go home early from the festival, and finally packed up their mood and started to stroll around.

Shinsuke Takasugi seldom had this kind of experience of hanging out with friends on the street at night, so he was naturally excited.

After all, in the final analysis, he and his father severed ties only happened within this year. Although he and Sakata Gintoki and Katsura Kogoro had a good understanding, they only got along for a year.

And the festival is held once a year, so this can be regarded as the first time he visited the festival with them.

"Look at Silver Time, there is a free challenge shooting game over there!"

Compared with Takasugi Shinsuke who has a high self-esteem, Katsura Kogoro obviously has a bigger heart. Although he and Sakata Gintoki have not been together for a long time, they have already called each other by their first names.

And Takasugi Shinsuke blinked at the two friends, almost without any hesitation, and followed them with a smile.

"Hey, wait for me!"

There was a smile in his dark green pupils, he walked left and right on the crowded road on grass shoes, and approached the shooting booth in Guikou excitedly.

The cheerful laughter in the festival was endless. Shinsuke Takasugi was leaning on the side of the stall and watching the shooting game that Gintoki Sakata challenged. He was about to laugh at his failure with Gui. The corner of his eyes suddenly caught a touch of brown figure -

He subconsciously followed the matcha-colored person with his eyes, turned around, and saw the girl in the white bathrobe again.

"...Kanhara?"

Takasugi Shinsuke murmured her name, as if seeing her for the first time outside of dusk, so even he himself was in a trance.

As for the girl whose name was called, her petite body trembled slightly, and she turned her head in the direction of Takasugi with some surprise—and captured Takasugi's shadow quite accurately in the crowd.

He collided with her golden eyes, and then got a gentle smile from her face.

"Jin Zhu is here too? What a coincidence."

Her fair skin was dyed red by the orange-red lantern light, and with her well-fitting bathrobe and the bun and hair accessories that seemed to be specially woven for a memorial ceremony, she looked a little too good-looking.

He was unconsciously so nervous that he forgot to breathe, and it was not until Gui, who came back from challenging the shooting stall, put his shoulders mercilessly, that he was willing to react——

……

"So, Kanbaru, you also moved here some time ago?"

"Yes, I moved here alone."

"Then you have to live alone now! It must be very difficult."

"It's okay, because I lived alone before."

"Why? Don't you have family or something?"

"Well, pay attention to the fact that there is only one person."

……

...

If so, after Katsura and Yinshi realized the existence of Nagi Kanbara, as the most conscientious of the three, Gui directly pulled Nagi Kanbara into the adventure team with a very generous heart—after all, with His thinking: Everyone is of the same age, so it should be no problem to play together.

Moreover, the other party seemed to be someone Takasugi knew.

So notice that his invitation to come over has been sent out, and Gintoki and Takasugi Shinsuke are also a little surprised by the abrupt call.

——Hey Wig/Hey Gui!

The two boys wanted to stop Gui's rash actions at the same time - the former wanted to stop Gui instinctively, and the latter was because of various complicated factors in his heart.

For example, from the perspective of Shinsuke Takasugi, he is always nervous about Nagi Kanbara.

She was like a walking mystery, and she also took the initiative to confess to him that she was not human anymore. Would someone with special powers like her really be willing to join and play with them?Like normal kids?

That sounds really far-fetched.

But he also deeply understands that it is impossible for him to tell the wig at a crucial point—the Kanbara Nagi in front of him is probably a little different from the "children of the same age" in Gui's eyes, so, under helpless circumstances, Takasugi Shinsuke even fantasizes Wake up, maybe I need to cover Nagi for Kanbara.

However, when Takasugi Shinsuke racked his brains to think of the reason, and even planned to blame himself for his stomach pain, Nagi Kanbara over there had already agreed to Katsura's invitation quite cheerfully.

——Do you really want to include me in playing together?very happy!

Her reaction was so straightforward that Shinsuke Takasugi couldn't get used to it.

So, seeing Nagi Kanbara frankly answering Katsura Kogoro's various questions now, he even felt that he was no different from a fool when he was trembling before.

It's going to make him feel depressed.

...What, isn't she able to communicate normally with others?

……

"...By the way, it's rare for everyone to invite me to play together, so let me treat everyone to something to eat too!"

"What are you, Kanbara, are you an angel!"

"No, it's just that I helped to work a few days ago and paid my wages."

The girl with brown hair and blond eyes had dimples when she smiled. Seeing her pinching her sleeves in embarrassment and saying that she would invite everyone to eat, Katsura Kogoro and Sakata Gintoki, who had been hungry all night, couldn't be more polite.

Although it is not acceptable for a girl of the same age to invite a girl to eat, but after thinking about it, they could do the trick of stealing Mr. Songyang's wallet just to eat, and there is really no need to be ashamed now.

If so, at Nagi Kanbara's initiative, she went around the booth, and when she and Katsura Kogoro returned to the ramp, the two of them already had a lot of freshly made and sold snacks in their hands.

Grilled corn, squid rice, monjayaki, fried noodles, grilled squid tendrils, apple candy, shaved ice...

A lot of food that they could only see but could not eat just now appeared in front of them like a magic trick, which really made the eyes of Sakata Gintoki and Katsura Kogoro shine after starving all night.

"Kanbara, do you lack a younger brother..."

"Hey wig, your drool is going to fall."

Sakata Gintoki punched Katsura Kogoro on the back of the head with a ruthless punch. The latter let out a scream, but he didn't bother to argue with Sakata Gintoki. He just took the grilled corn from Nagi Kanbara gratefully and put it on the table. To the mouth is a gobble.

And Nagi Kanbara had already eaten just now, so she sat on the ramp with her knees in her arms and watched the two boys start eating, then handed a piece of fried noodles to Takasugi Shinsuke: "Jinsuke, don't you want to eat?" ?”

"...I don't need to."

The boy with purple hair glanced over awkwardly, his small face showed the stubbornness of a samurai boy.

How could he accept a girl's treat?

What's more, that object is Kanbara Nagi.

Yes, how could he accept Kanbara Nagi's...

"...Don't worry about Takasugi, that guy is just shy."

However, just when Takasugi Shinsuke was still having trouble with himself in his heart, a lazy voice joined between Kanbara Nagi and Takasugi Shinsuke—it was Sakata Gintoki, holding a squid in his hand, eating Have relish.

"Who is shy again!"

"Then explain, why are you hungry and don't eat now?"

Sakata Gintoki questioned for fear of chaos in the world.

"How can a man from the Wu family accept a woman's treat!"

"Oh? So you're playing handsome?"

"Yinshi, I said you—"

The boy with purple hair and green eyes was mercilessly poked by his friend, so he stood up annoyed and wanted to argue with him.

However, just when he sent back a complete sentence, his stomach made a grunting sound rather shamelessly——

But Sakata Gintoki and Katsura Kogoro suddenly stopped eating, and the next second, they laughed quite unkindly again.

"Hahahahaha! Call you hypocritical!"

"Hahaha Takasugi, how long have you been hungry?"

"...You guys!" Takasugi Shinsuke's face turned red and then green. He, who had never been able to stand being laughed at by others, was embarrassed in front of the girl he cared about, and even wanted to find a hole to get in, so he turned his head and turned around. , almost ready to flee the scene.

However, as soon as he stepped forward, a cold hand quickly grabbed his fingertips.

His thoughts of running away were dispelled in an instant, his heart tightened, and he turned his head to meet Nagi Kamihara's clear eyes.

"...Kanhara?" He stared blankly, this was the first time she contacted him proactively.

"Hey, Jinsuke, why don't you just sit down and eat with us."

The girl smiled at him, the encouraging and gentle smile was different from the mocking expressions of Sakata Gintoki or Katsura Kogoro, it was as warm as the setting sun and directly attracted all his attention.

"knew."

He calmed down, and sat down as if he felt that he could not refuse all her requests.

In summer, fireflies flow and fireworks are bright.

The four children were eating on the riverside ramp. After watching the fireworks, Kogoro Katsura started to doze off after eating and having fun.His body was about to fall onto Nagi Kanbara, but Gintoki Sakata stretched out his foot and kicked him down without hesitation.

Gui Xiaogoro was so wronged that he screamed at the bottom of the ramp, and told Gao Shan to touch the back of his head and leave the team helplessly to pick him up.

When he returned to the vicinity of the ramp, Nagi Kanbara had disappeared.

"Where's Kanbara?"

"She said it was too late, so she went back first, and we didn't need to see her off."

"..."

Takasugi Shinsuke pulled the back of Gui's head, looked at the position where Nagi Kanbara was sitting just now, and there was something empty in his heart.

However, just when he felt that everything that happened that night was a bit dreamy, that Sakata Gintoki, whom Shinsuke Takasugi had always regarded as his opponent, said something that shocked Shinsuke Takasugi at this moment.

He says--

"Takasugi, I think that Kanbara Nagi is pretty good." Sakata Gintoki folded his hands behind his head, and looked at Takasugi from bottom to top with seriousness that is rarely seen in his eyes: "...if I want to treat her Do you mind if you do it?"

His tone didn't sound like a joke, even, from Takasugi's point of view, there was such a moment...

For just a moment, he saw an aura similar to Nagi Kanbara in Sakata Gintoki's eyes.

Is it because Sakata Gintoki said this because he found resonance in Nagi Kanbara?

But why, at this moment, compared to caring about Sakata Gintoki's words, his heart feels a little uncomfortable?
