[Gintama] Killing Knight

She keeps losing, family, home, friends, partners, life, belonging, and finally... memories she didn't expect.

******

Between the still dark lead-colored clouds, a gap opened at some point, and sunlight poured out like sand leaking from fingers, adding a little bright color to this oppressive place.

...but only a little bit.

Because the shoes did not fit, they were thrown away for the reason of 'impeding movement'. The girl stepped on the black and red mixed ground with bare feet, and the tiny mud splashed stuck to her white and tender ankles and calves, making her dirty. .Compared with her thin body, the clothes looked too big, and you could see the traces of being cut with a knife. The edges were uneven, and the mottled blood was half-dried, which made her very embarrassed.

The same is true on the girl's face. It is obvious that she doesn't care about her appearance. It is not enough to make her uncomfortable, so she let the mud and blood cover her body, only a pair of blood-like red eyes are deserted.

Walking on such an abandoned battlefield, she looks like an undead.

The girl woke up on this desolate and bloody battlefield a month ago.As soon as she woke up, the blood in the sky gave her a strong stimulus, and the remaining emotions hidden in her heart were vented out, raging in her body. Even though there were no wounds on her body, she was still so painful that she could hardly speak.

However...she couldn't remember why.

She lost all her memories.

This discovery, coupled with her emptiness and despair as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out... She was almost going crazy.

Struggling in emptiness and despair like this, she who didn't even understand the meaning of her own life at all, after spending two days like a walking dead, a thought suddenly appeared in her mind——

She can't die.

Although she didn't know the reason why she suddenly thought so, but the result was like this, the obsession that was so deep in her bones told her that she couldn't die.

Absolutely absolutely not.

So... live.

Then, a month later, following her instincts and surviving on the battlefield, she picked up a silver-haired kid.

This was the first human being she met—the ones she had killed before, although she had no memory of them, but her instinct told her that those were not human beings, at least not the human beings she knew.

Humanity……

For a moment, complex emotions rushed into her heart.

There was a voice in her heart warning her to stay away, but she knew that her truest thoughts were not like this.The other thing is... She couldn't bear it either, the way that child was wandering alone...

Much like she used to be.

——The girl somehow thinks so.

But these are not the most important things, she clearly understood that the moment she saw the boy's silver hair, some gushing emotions almost burst out of her body.

I don't hate it at all... It's better to say, I like it the most, I like that color the most.Gentle and bright, a dazzling light that calms and softens her just by looking at it.

She almost took it for granted that there should be that kind of silver around her.

——So in the end, he didn't forcefully stop the boy from following her.

However...it shouldn't be.The most correct way for her is to get away from him quickly. The more she wants to get close, the more she should stay away.

This is how to protect him, so that he will not let him go to destruction but he is powerless to stop it.

That's because I have lost too much, and it has long been imprinted in the deepest part of my soul.

An instinct honed by the worst experiences.

Anxious.

The girl stopped.She turned to look at the silver-haired boy who followed her silently.

"...It's the last time, you really don't want to leave?"

The silver-haired boy—that is, Sakata Gintoki was holding a tattered knife, and he also looked up at the girl walking in front of him.

He also couldn't explain why he wanted to walk with this girl. Although the chances of surviving in this dangerous place would increase if he had a companion, his impulsiveness shocked even himself.

Is it because she looks small?She saved herself?She gave herself food?Or... a situation similar to his?

He will not be afraid of cursing or something. He is a bachelor who has nothing, at most he will die. Although he regrets his life, in this case, he will not be afraid.

This guy obviously looks like he's too strong, but he's not a coward after all, but it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he will catch up and won't leave her alone.

It can be regarded as... a reward for that rice ball.

Sakata Gintoki settled his mind, and made eye contact with the girl without hesitation, "I won't leave."

He won't leave, won't leave her alone.

It's just that the current Sakata Gintoki still doesn't understand... Some things don't necessarily come true as long as an agreement is made, but more often than not, they are unexpected surprises.

The world is too capricious.

******

The place where the girl is taking Sakata Gintoki now is the place she found to rest.

The battlefield is very dangerous. Who knows if there will be any people haunting it, whether it is the heavenly beings they met before or the villagers who may pass by here, they are all dangerous existences for them.

The two celestial beings I met before, if the other party hadn't been seriously injured before, with the girl's current appearance, it would definitely not be so easy to solve.

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly stopped.

Sakata Gintoki was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." She lowered her eyes, spread her hands and glanced at the pair of small hands that belonged to children, and lightly clenched her fists.She seemed to be able to feel just now that she was not like this before.

It was useless to think too much, the girl kept walking in silence, and the silver-haired boy followed.

All the way smoothly led the boy to a relatively hidden corner he found in the grove, planning to rest at night.

How should I put it, it is only natural for two homeless children who are also wandering on the battlefield to rely on each other to survive like this.

At least Sakata Gintoki felt that everything was logical, but the girl knew that it couldn't be like this all the time.

They have just begun, but she has already determined the ending without authorization.

It's not that any of them will leave, but that she will take the initiative to push him away from this battlefield.

reason?There is no reason, just thinking about it, I decided to do it, it's that simple.

It's just that I don't think it's suitable.

"rest early."

The girl opened her mouth lightly, found a place to sit down at random, and held the dagger in her hand so that she could fight at any time.Sakata Gintoki took a look and found that there were a lot of fallen leaves spread in a thick layer, just like a natural bed, and because it hasn't rained recently, and because the daylight is good here, there is not much rotten smell, faint The smell is a little fresh, not annoying.

— There are traces of being pressed.

It was easy for Sakata Gintoki to see this, and he also knew that this was probably where the girl usually slept.Now she fell asleep leaning against the tree in a natural way, but it made him a little bit in a dilemma.

He doesn't want to bully girls!

"Hello..." Sakata Gintoki called her, only to realize that he didn't know the girl's name yet.

"Don't make noise." The girl interrupted him, closing her eyes in a relaxed manner, "Don't make me sleep."

Sakata Gintoki looked at the girl silently, feeling the urge to itch for the first time in his life.Although she knew that she wanted her to sleep better, but... she really deserved a beating!

Sakata Yinshi finally lay down and fell asleep, curled up on the pile of fallen leaves with his sword in his arms.Even though he couldn't see the future at all, even though he was in a harsh battlefield, even though there might still be unknown dangers in the dark, he still felt that his heart, which had been wandering and helpless, was a little more at ease.

Tomorrow must be his turn to watch the night.

A firm thought flashed across the confused boy.

******

Snow, a lot of snow.

The snowflakes are falling like elves sent from heaven, covering every corner of the city equally and inclusively.Laughing people enjoyed the snow happily, occasionally mixed with completely meaningless complaints, and the children ran around excitedly. If it weren't for the scolding by adults, I'm afraid they would have played in the snow long ago.

—and only for happy people.

Wrapped in thin clothes, the little girl shrank indifferently in a dark corner that was slightly protected from the wind, and nothing could be seen in her silent eyes.

...actually, I am very envious.

But at some point, she already knew that the [curse] of this world to her was entwined around her like a nightmare, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

But also, as a heterogeneous, it should be excluded.It's just, it's just a little reconciled...

And no matter how much unwillingness, as time goes by, only numbness will remain.

Anyway, it's okay to be alone, instead of letting the people around her be affected by her, it's better not to deepen the bond with each other in the first place.

The black-haired girl huddled in a corner and slept lightly, like a small cub curled up in a ball, and the slightest movement would wake her up vigilantly.Hidden in his bosom, he tightly held a delicate and sharp dagger, not daring to relax at all.

creak.

The girl's ears twitched.

Creak, creak, creak.

The girl woke up, she didn't open her eyes immediately, but remained still. ...It is the sound of snow treading, someone is walking towards this side.The voice was very soft, judging from what she heard...it seemed like a child?

There was no sense of crisis in her heart, maybe the visitor had no malice towards her, but the girl did not give up her vigilance.

The voice got closer and closer, and finally came to her and stopped.

She finally opened her eyes.

The first thing that came into her field of vision was a pair of small boots, then she raised her head, and thanks to her good night vision ability, she could see the whole picture of the child in front of her clearly.

It was a very cute girl with dazzling silver long hair and big round eyes. It was originally a cold ice blue color, but because of her warm smile, her little red face was covered with warmth. The scarf covered half of it, and the white mist could be vaguely seen coming out.

As if she didn't see the black-haired girl's vigilance towards her, she still frowned.

"finally found you."

The girl reached out to her with a warm and bright smile.

"Hi, I'm your partner, my name is Xueer."

"I like you, Tei."

******

The girl woke up suddenly from her dream, her mind went blank, and the surrounding darkness rushed over, drowning her to nothing.Panting a few times, the girl slowly realized where she was now.

... Are you dreaming?

The girl stared at the darkness in front of her in a daze. It took a long time to notice the coldness on her face, but when she reached out to touch it, her fingertips felt wet.Is she... crying?

Gee.

The girl leaned against the tree dazedly and wearily, letting the surging sense of emptiness engulf her.

……can not remember.

Can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember, can't remember

What was it in the dream that made her want to cry so much...
