"...And, I used to be like you. When they picked up the sword, I actually thought the same thing as you. It didn't matter how I felt about that kind of thing. But, thinking about it now, maybe if I had chosen to stop it at that time, Would your words be different? After all, at that time, I was the only one who could stop you, and I have always regretted it."
(ps: The "time to pick up the sword" mentioned here refers to a group of students from the Matsushita Village School preparing to participate in the war against the foreigners.)
Jiang Cheng's voice was neither loud nor quiet, and his voice was very calm, as if he was describing an inconspicuous incident.
"If I had stopped you at that time, would there be different results now? Those companions will not die, and the teacher will..." At this point, Jiang Cheng's voice finally raised a few degrees, "Whether you admit it or not, Admit it, teacher... it's because of us... The enemy can always see it, right? It's not others, it's just ourselves. Destruction? Okay, then I invite you to commit seppuku."
"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard!" Youzi cursed at the side.
"Shut up." Takasugi glanced at Matako and said.
"Escape, escape. Admit it, you are just escaping." Jiang Cheng continued, "No matter how many excuses you make, you are always evading. You who dare not face up to this sin, and..."
As he said that, Jiang Cheng looked at Gintoki, who was standing between Shinpachi and Kagura, "He chose to bear the sin. However, if you really need to find someone to bear it all, then that person can only It’s me. If you hate me, just hate me. I want to bear all this sin and hatred. In this case, will your life be easier? "
"Are you... what a joke?" Takasugi raised his head and sneered, then said, "When will you need to carry those ridiculous things? Didn't I already say it? There is nothing left in my body. "
"Well, there's only so much I want to say." Jiang Cheng ignored Gao Shan's words and was about to turn around and leave. "And next time we meet, I will still treat you as a companion. Goodbye, Gao Zai."
"Hey, go back quickly. While it's just dawn, I'll show mercy and treat you to breakfast today." Jiang Cheng came to the Wanshiwu trio and said with a smile.
"I want to eat barbecue Aru!" Kagura replied.
"Don't eat anything that irritates your stomach in the morning!" Jiang Cheng criticized seriously, "Just stomach-warming porridge and steamed buns! Without good living habits, you will become bald!"
"You're going to be bald sooner or later, right? It's hereditary after all." Gintoki said casually, picking his nostrils.
"No way Aru!" Kagura shouted and rushed towards Gintoki.
"Anyway, this incident has ended successfully." Xin Baji said with a smile.
…
"Takasugi, I don't know how many times I have wanted to destroy this world and regenerate it, but..." As he spoke, Gui looked at Jiang Cheng and Gintoki who were making trouble, "Those two guys can endure it. Live on. It’s not you who hates this world the most, and it’s not you who is most like the teacher and inherits the teacher’s legacy. We can’t do anything. I don’t want to destroy this country anymore. There are still many important things in this country. people are here."
"If you really have no intention of sheathing your sword and have turned into a beast that is immersed in the joy of destroying the world. Then, if you are unhappy with the world, just destroy it. But even Edo I will never turn a blind eye to your actions when everyone's lives are at stake. There should be other ways to change this country without hurting so many people."
With that said, Gui turned around and said, "Finally, I would also like to remind you that if there is a next time, I will kill you without them taking action. I can't say what Jiang Cheng said [Next time we meet, I'll kill you." I will treat you as a companion], but whether it is an enemy or a friend is up to you."
After saying that, Gui looked at Elizabeth and others who were still standing nearby, "The old friends meeting is over, let's go."
"Let's go? Is it a little too early?" Gao Shan raised his head and looked at the sky and said with a chuckle.
"I'm still used to eating breakfast at [home]." Gui replied without turning his head, "Also, I don't like Yakult."
Just as Gui finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "rumbling" engine sound coming from above his head.
At this time, everyone raised their heads and saw a huge warship flying towards the house-shaped ship from the sky.
"That's..." Looking at the familiar graffiti on the ship, Gui murmured, "Chun Yu!"
"Wig, I've heard about it. You and Gintoki have fought against these Harusame guys before, right? I'm still trying hard to join forces with them and get backup." Takasugi lowered his head and said casually , "But thanks to you, things are going very smoothly, so let me use your heads as a gift."
"Takasugi! You bastard..." Gui turned around and cursed, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Cheng took his collar and threw him directly onto the boat of Gui's faction docked on the other side.
When Gui got up, he finally realized that everyone, including Gintoki and the other three, had been thrown over by Jiang Cheng.
"Let's go, I also want to have a big fight after a long time." Jiang Cheng stood in front of Takasugi and said with his back to Gui and others.
"Stop joking!" Gintoki cursed as he got up, then rushed over, jumped up and jumped to Jiang Cheng's side.
"Hmph, I didn't expect there would be a chance to fight together." Gui Ye rushed over, stood behind Jiang Cheng and said, then looked at Elizabeth and others who were still on the small boat, "You go first."
[I see]
Elizabeth raised the wooden sign, and at the same time, the personnel in the control room pressed the start button.
"No, I also want to fight with them Aru!" Kagura shouted and rushed over, but was stopped by Elizabeth and Shinpachi.
[I believe Mr. Gui, let’s leave first]
So read the wooden sign Elizabeth held up.
…
Watching the house-shaped boat carrying Elizabeth and others slowly leave, Jiang Chengcai turned his attention to Takasugi again, "You should know, right? It's unrealistic to rely on this kind of thing to keep me here."
"Would you know if you try it?" Gao Shan replied with a chuckle.
Immediately afterwards, I saw countless heavenly beings jumping off Chunyu's battleship. They rushed toward Jiang Cheng and the others with excitement on their faces.
Jiang Cheng calmly made two gestures to Gintoki and Gui from behind.
"That's..." Gui murmured, but then he chuckled and clenched the knife in his hand, "It seems like he can really do something big."
"We exercised so much today, let's eat an extra pudding when we go back." Gintoki also tightened his grip on the wooden knife in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the BGM sounded... No, it was Gintoki and Katsura who took the lead in rushing towards those celestial beings. A big battle begins immediately.
…
On the Chunyu battleship.
"Your Excellency Wanqi, I heard that as long as we can take the heads of those three people..." the green-skinned Celestial Being wearing gray robes said as he looked at Gintoki and Katsura who were fighting Haruyu not far away.
However, Kawagami Wanqi did not speak, and still stared at Katsura and Gintoki not far away unmoved.
"Your Excellency Wanqi?" The green-skinned celestial being looked at Wanqi again, "Wait, are you listening? Your Excellency Wanqi!"
"I'm listening," Wanqi finally responded, pointing to his headphones and explaining, "This is the number one temple in Edo..."
"I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about you, did you listen to me?" The green-skinned celestial being said frantically, "Why should I negotiate with such a person! Really!"
"You don't have to worry." Wan Qi replied, "If there are only three people, it will be over soon."
…
"It seems that the sincerity of the other party in cooperating with you is not very good," Jiang Cheng looked at Gao Shan and said casually, "They just sent some soldiers."
"Maybe. Originally, I wanted to cooperate with Chunyu's 7th Division, but it seems that the negotiations have not been successful." Gao Shan replied casually.
Jiang Cheng casually kicked away the two charging heavenly beings, but Jiang Cheng still stood there motionless holding an umbrella.
"You're really measured in your actions," Takasugi said casually, "Is that all you can do now after throwing away your sword? Didn't you say you want to fight a big fight? Then go and kill them all, just like before. , dancing in the blood, I’m looking forward to it, Jiang Cheng.”
"Hmph," Jiang Cheng wiped away the blood that splashed on his face, then glanced at Gintoki and Katsura who were fighting with the gods, and said softly,
"Gao Zai, I," Jiang Cheng said, looking at Gao Shan who was leaning aside with an indifferent expression, "I have already made an agreement with a dead man."
"It doesn't matter if it can't be used as a sword to protect them. At least, you can use this tattered umbrella to block a few raindrops or sadness for them. That's enough!"
Takasugi laughed, and the laughter got louder and louder, and finally he burst into laughter, "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of agreement? Still as innocent as ever. Who are they? Gintoki? Wig?"
"No, you know." Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, then turned to look at Gintoki and Katsura who were fighting bloody battles.
"It's disgusting, it makes me want to vomit... So, please go to hell..." Gao Shan said and came to Jiang Cheng's back, gently pulled out his sword, and stabbed Jiang Cheng in the back of the heart. .
but…
"Takasugi!!" Gintoki and Katsura shouted at the same time, and pushed Takasugi's sword away.
"There are too many enemies, we still..." Gui took his sword and retreated behind Jiang Cheng, looking at the heavenly beings surrounding him with a solemn expression.
"Also, Takasugi," Gui said, looking at Takasugi, "don't forget, even if he can never pick up the sword again."
"We still have two swords!" Gintoki and Katsura shouted at the same time, pointing the swords in their hands at Takasugi.
"Then, see you next time, Gao Zai." With that said, Jiang Cheng grabbed Gintoki and Katsura with one hand and rushed to the right side, jumping off the boat.
This is what the gesture just meant, [make a road on the right]
"Ahaha, goodbye!" Gui shouted while holding up the parachute.
"Are you Lupine?" Gintoki complained while holding Katsura's leg.
"It's not Lupine, it's Wig! Ah, I made a mistake, it's Katsura." Katsura replied, "I didn't just escape the Shinsengumi's pursuit of me so far. Also, does it really not matter? Chunyu’s hatred for you should be deeper than ours.”
Gui looked at Jiang Cheng, who was holding an umbrella and floating downward.
"Besides, give up, Takasugi has already..."
"No, some things won't change easily." Jiang Cheng turned his head and smiled.
"Humph, it's true," Wen Shenggui smiled, "Don't wait until you are actually chopped down before you regret it."
"No, I've already been chopped once." Gintoki replied casually.
"But maybe it's just like what Jiang Cheng said," Gui took out a book from his arms that said "Bushido Beginner", "I didn't expect that he still had this book with him, you two , do you remember this?"
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Cheng curled his lips and said disdainfully, "At that time, you secretly used my textbook to bake sweet potatoes... When did you lose your memory? Wig? At that time, I was severely repaired by the teacher. Dun, do you think I can forget this easily?!"
"It's not a wig! It's Gui!" Gui replied, "Ah, it seems that there is such a thing. But at that time I only ate a small piece."
"Haha," Jiang Cheng curled his lips and said, "It's not bad. He obviously contributed to my textbooks, but in the end he didn't leave any of it for me."
"You can't blame me! Gintoki ate them all! And Takasugi!" Katsura defended.
"Gintoki, I will roast sweet potatoes as compensation." Jiang Cheng looked at Gintoki and said.
"Actually, they were all eaten by Takasugi, and I only ate small pieces." Gintoki replied.
"Do you think I believe it?!" Jiang Cheng cursed and kicked Gintoki at the same time.
"Hey! This is in mid-air! You bastard! You're going to die!" Gintoki cursed.
"Until then, give me back the baked sweet potatoes, you bastard!"
…
In the end, the three of them landed safely.
But just after landing, Jiang Chengcheng noticed a few familiar people on the shore... women.
First, A Miao looked at Jiang Cheng and Gintoki with a kind face.
"Um..." Jiang Cheng swallowed, "What's wrong?"
"If I remember correctly, when I was on the Gintama crew, I should have been the heroine in the Red Sakura arc, right? So, may I ask, where did my role go in this Red Sakura episode?" A Miao held a long knife and smiled softly. Said without smiling.
"Uh..." Jiang Cheng thought for a second and then pointed directly at Gintoki, "It's better that you ask him about this matter. I don't know anything!"
With that said, Jiang Cheng was about to run away, but just after taking two steps, two kunai were inserted directly into the back of Jiang Cheng's head, and Jiang Cheng... threw himself into the street.
"Hey, where's our part?" Yue Yong was followed by a group of Baihua members, "We've been preparing for a long time, and...have you learned it even after staying up all night?! You bastard!"
"Private Marseille!" Jiang Cheng stood up and ran away, "Gintoki, save me!!"
"Before that, save me first, you bastard!" Gintoki dodged A Miao's long knife, and then started to run away, "Hey! It has nothing to do with me! It's not my fault that I don't have a role! Don't listen to Jiang Cheng What a nonsense!"
Looking at Gintoki and Jiangcheng being chased by Baihua and Miao, Gui smiled softly.
"This ending looks good."
"Shut up! You don't need to summarize the ending, Hundan!" Jiang Cheng's voice came.
"Let me be the protagonist!" Gintoki's voice came.
"I am the protagonist!" Jiang Cheng retorted.
"No, I am!"
Just when Jiang Cheng and Yinshi stopped and began to fight, A Miao and Yue Yong led a group of Baihua members and surrounded them with evil expressions.
"The ponytail belongs to me, and you can take it away naturally." Yue Yong looked at A Miao and said, "These stinky men only care about their own roles, they should be repaired."
"Okay." A Miao replied with narrowed eyes.
Afterwards, Gui looked at Gintoki and Jiangcheng who were dragged away in two directions. It took him a long time to react and posed for the camera, "Bye bye! Next time preview: Gui Hun Special!"
Jiang Cheng: Give up on that thought! There won’t be any anymore! Stop making your own decisions!
…
(Red Sakura chapter revised, finished!)
I just got off work, it's the end of the year, and there are a lot of things at work.
Another chapter before half past ten. Let me have a meal first.
Now that the Red Sakura chapter is over, I can actually still write a chapter on Shui..., but I’ve thought about it for a while. I was originally planning to let Baihua appear, but it felt like it was too delayed, with too many characters, and one chapter for each person had passed by.
Let’s end this way. This chapter is already nearly 4,500 words long.
Next chapter returns to daily life.
