"Huh? Festival?"
Jiang Cheng did not put down the game controller in his hand and continued without looking back, "Why don't you let Yue Yong do things like accompany the kid to the temple fair~"
"Appropriate exercise is good for physical and mental health~" Riun said with a finger, "Also, festivals and temple fairs are different."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand and blurted out the words of rejection at the same time: "Sorry, I'm not interested at all...ah!"
Before she finished speaking, Yue Yong had already put Jiang Cheng down, grabbed Jiang Cheng's collar and walked out without looking back, followed closely by Qingta.
…
"This is a commemorative festival to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the country and the lifting of the ban. I heard that the general will also make a rare appearance~" Haruta was jumping up and down the whole way.
"Hmph, only children would like this kind of thing." Jiang Cheng said disdainfully.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, didn't you like festivals when you were a kid?" Haruta asked curiously.
"Of course!" Jiang Cheng replied without thinking, but then he muttered in a low voice, "But, there is a friend who seems to like festivals very much."
"Friend? Gin-san?" Haruta asked.
"No, he's just a friend who likes festivals and Yakult. He seems to be called Takaji." Jiang Cheng replied.
"Hey, can't you remember your friends' names?!" Haruta complained.
"Anything like that will do," Jiang Cheng said casually, but the next moment he was attracted by something under the bridge, "That...that! Robot!"
Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed and he jumped off the bridge in an instant. But Jiang Cheng didn't notice that there was a familiar man with silver-haired natural curly hair next to a bunch of robots...
"Hey, Brother Jiangcheng!" Haruta shouted from behind, and at the same time, he said helplessly, "Who is the kid?"
…
Jiang Cheng's eyes twitched when he looked at Gintoki and Shinpachi who were hammering away.
"What are you doing?!" Jiang Cheng shouted, kicking the two of them several meters away at the same time, and then quickly ran to the pile of robots, looking left and right, with stars in his eyes.
"Hey, what's going on with this kid?" The old man from Yuanwai who was repairing the robot couldn't help but ask.
"He's just an idiot who really likes Bumblebee." Gintoki climbed up and replied casually.
"Hey, now, did you make all these robots by yourself? They're super cool~" Only then did Jiang Cheng notice the old man Yuanwai beside him.
"Hey, is it true?" Mr. Yuanwai said without hesitation, stroking his bald head and laughing, "I never thought there would be people in this era who are so interested in robots."
"Mechas and large robots will always be a man's romance!" Behind Jiang Cheng, it seemed as if the sun was rising and the waves were rising!
"These are just some iron blocks." Haruta said with her lips pursed.
At this time, Qingtai and Yueyong also walked down.
"What are you talking about?! Kid!" Jiang Cheng suddenly became unhappy. "When you go back, show me the Transformers series and the Gundam series a hundred times! This is your extra homework for the summer vacation!"
"Why?!"
"Then, let's leave first." Gintoki said, before running away with Shinpachi.
However, Mr. Yuanwai had quick eyesight and quick hands. He knocked down both wrenches and said, "Don't even think about running away! Work quickly. Really, there is no time."
"But Mr. Hiraga, the festival is about to start. Although I want to help you, it's too late..." Shinpachi rubbed his head and stood up while retorting in a low voice.
"This thing will only be used at night. If it is done before the sun goes down, there should be no problem." Mr. Gengai, no, I should say Hiraga Gengai, replied, and turned his head again and started knocking.
"Listen, Haruta." Jiang Cheng said with his eyes closed, "The sound of human hands repairing the robot, the beating sounds, the twisting of the screws one by one, is so touching! Just like this, each one is full of life. The birth of robots... this is... this is a miracle!"
However, Haruta next to Jiangcheng had already run to Kagura, and they pretended to be drinking together.
"Don't think it's ok if you don't say anything!" Kagura stood facing the robot Saburo in front of him and took out a white handkerchief with lips printed on it, "Dear! Do you think we don't know anything?! This, shirt There are lipstick marks on it! I won’t be deceived by you again!”
"As ordered." Robot Saburo replied.
"You will always "obey" and "obey orders", and that's why you will be looked down upon by your subordinates! Let's see if you say "NO" occasionally! You are a ten thousand year old unit chief!"
"As commanded."
"Ah! Domestic Violence (domestic violence)! Haruta, your father just let him die! Just pretend that you don't have such a father!" Kagura said and raised Saburo.
Seeing the situation, Mr. Yuanwai finally couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly ran over to stop him, "Stop... stop..."
"Who is the other party?! Sachiko, right?! That ugly subordinate who came to celebrate the move!" Kagura was still indulging in family wine.
"Stop it, why do you have to have that kind of entangled family wine?!" Mr. Yuanwai said while dragging his Saburo.
"To you, it may be a family drink, but to me, it is the whole world!" Kagura replied with a tearful voice.
Haruta was left standing there with a confused look on his face, "Why, why do I want to participate in such a family wine..."
…
"So you three destroyed the robot and were unable to participate in the festival." Jiang Cheng looked at the three people in the Master House in front of him with disdain. To be precise, he should be looking at the leader Gintoki.
"You guys! Do you know what stupid thing you have done?!" Jiang Cheng said loudly and aggressively, "You have ruined the romance of all men in Edo! Do you know?!"
"Well, little brother, they have realized their mistake. They are already helping me repair it. They should be able to make it in time for the festival." Mr. Gengai persuaded from the side.
"Since you said so, let's forget it this time!" Jiang Cheng turned his head and snorted disdainfully, but Jiang Cheng didn't notice Gintoki's contemptuous gaze behind him.
Afterwards, Jiang Cheng pulled Qingta to join the repair team. PS: Jiang Cheng is voluntary, Qing Tai is forced.
Yue Yong, on the other hand, watched from the sidelines and did not participate from the beginning to the end.
dusk…
"It seems that we have finally caught up, although there are still some problems with the details." Shinbaji wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Thanks to the help of Jiang Chengsang and Haruta-kun."
"If you three hadn't caused trouble, there wouldn't have been such a big effort." Mr. Yuanwai said with disdain as he looked at the rows of robots in front of him.
"What nonsense are you talking about, a nuisance old man? We came here because we couldn't bear what the old woman said." Gintoki grabbed his hair and said, but the next moment, Mr. Gengai threw a bag of money to Gintoki.
"I still have to do the final maintenance. Don't get in my way. It doesn't matter if it's a festival or wherever you like. You can go wherever you like." Mr. Gengai said and walked back to the pile of robots and started to inspect them. .
Seeing this, Kagura immediately grabbed the money bag in Gintoki's hand and turned around to leave. Gintoki turned around and chased after him, while Shinpachi stayed where he was and thanked Mr. Gengai before turning around and chasing after Gintoki. gone. On the side, Jiang Chengyueyong and Qingta also turned and left. PS: Jiang Cheng was forced to leave by Yue Yong.
"What a bunch of noisy guys, San..." Mr. Gengai said with a helpless smile, and at the same time turned his head to call the robot Saburo, but at this time he saw Saburo following the direction where everyone left, "Sanro, you You can't leave, Saburo!" Mr. Gengai quickly ran over to stop him.
But even Jiang Cheng didn't notice just now. There was a man wearing a purple kimono embroidered with butterflies standing on the bridge nearby...
…
At the entrance of the Shinsengumi mansion, all members of the Shinsengumi have gathered.
Kondo and Fourteen stood in front of a crowd to give their final lecture.
"Listen carefully, tonight the entire True Selection Team will go out to protect the general. Not even a fly will let him get close to the General! Do you hear me clearly?!" Fourteen shouted to the members of the True Selection Team who were lined up neatly in front of him.
"Hi!"×n
Then groups of people got on the bus and left in an orderly manner.
"Speaking of which, will Takasugi really come? Vice-chief?" Yamazaki asked curiously.
"I don't know, I just received such information. He killed dozens of high-ranking shogunate officials during the meeting with Takeshiya. He is the most extreme and dangerous man among the barbarian warriors. It's hard to believe him with such a good opportunity. Won't show up." Fourteen said, puffing out smoke, and slowly spit out the name, "Takasugi Shinsuke!"
…
"It's really amazing. Saburo seems to be very happy too." Mr. Gengai said with emotion as he looked at Jiang Cheng, Kagura, Shinpachi and Seita who were walking with Saburo. Kagura and Haruta sat on Saburo's shoulders and directed. Jiang Chengyueyong and Xinbaji walked side by side.
"That's definitely much happier than an old man who keeps a straight face all day long." Gintoki said and took a sip of wine.
At this time, Gintoki and Mr. Gengai were sitting in front of a small stall having a drink.
"I told my son the same thing..."
"Son?" Gintoki asked, "Do you still have a son?"
"Although he is already dead..." As he said this, Mr. Gengai put down his wine glass. "I ran into the battlefield on my own initiative and lost my life. His enthusiasm for robots is no less than mine. That brat used to play with me." Those robots. Looking back now, that period was probably the happiest time of my life."
"In the past, it was just because I liked playing with robots, so I didn't have to think about other unnecessary things. But since I was called the number one inventor in Edo, robots have become a means for me to achieve something. That brat is against that. I ran away from home and never came back." As he spoke, Mr. Yuanwai smiled mockingly to himself.
