Kagura's first day of school experience, at seven o'clock in the evening.
"I'm back!"
Across the door and entrance, Jiangcheng and Gintoki heard Kagura's excited shouts.
Click-pull!
After closing the door, Kagura took off her shoes and ran into the living room.
Kagura, who was carrying a backpack and looking excited, looked at Jiang Cheng sitting on the sofa and asked doubtfully: "Huh? Why is my uncle also in Aru?"
"Welcome back. Also, what..." Jiang Cheng touched his head and laughed, "I just feel like it's the first day of school or something, that..."
"I'm very happy!" Kagura interrupted Jiang Cheng with a grin on her face, "It's a very fresh feeling! So is the cram school! So is the violin! So is the bento! It's very, very interesting!"
"Uh..." Jiang Cheng reluctantly tugged at the corner of his mouth, and then replied: "Then...that's good..."
"Anyway..." Gintoki stood up, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, "Let's have dinner first, it's already ready. Don't you have to go to cram school or something later? Right?"
"S-That's true!" Jiang Cheng also quickly stood up and followed Gintoki, "It must...must be very hard, right? Gintoki spent a lot of money to buy expensive meat today!"
Looking at the backs of Jiang Cheng and Gintoki, Kagura tilted her head, narrowed her beady eyes and asked, "Hey, are you two feeling lonely because I'm not around?"
"No, it's not." Jiang Cheng and Gintoki immediately stopped and turned around with expressionless expressions, raising their hands and replied.
Kagura: stare—
"Really, what are you talking about?" Gintoki shrugged, "Without a noisy and violent little girl during the day, it feels very peaceful."
"That's it." Jiang Cheng also shook his shoulders, "It's rare that I won't be disturbed occasionally. I feel very happy."
"Really?" Kagura threw down her backpack and sat down on the sofa casually, "If that's the case, forget it Aru. Anyway, I'm happy at school and cram school, so everyone will be happy."
Hearing the sound, Jiang Cheng and Gintoki's expressions instantly darkened.
…
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Cheng has basically never been to the Master House since that day. As for whether he secretly followed Kagura to school or something like that, only he may know in his heart.
However, it is worth mentioning that on the second day of Kagura's schooling, Jiang Cheng, who followed Kagura all day, saw that Kagura really enjoyed the full school life and various training and tutoring life arranged. , that night, it was very rare that Gintoki and a long-haired man who did not often appear on the scene with a pet that was a fan of the universe drank in the pub until the early hours of the morning.
(PS: The bill was finally passed to this long-haired man who passed out drunk and fell asleep.)
It might be relief or something, it might be loneliness or something, or it might be a combination of both. Of course, for Gintoki, his mood should be exactly the same as Jiang Cheng's to some extent.
Rest days, weekends.
In the corridor, Yue Yong, who had just passed by the door of Jiang Cheng's room, looked at Jiang Cheng who was putting on his boots and getting ready to go out, and asked aloud: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Cheng raised his head. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are you a mother?"
"Want to die?"
"Nothing," Jiang Cheng said casually, and then took out seven schedules from his arms, "I just went to give Kagura the schedule for the next week."
Yue Yong took the schedule and looked at it, which was comparable to last week's perverted schedule, and her whole forehead turned black instantly.
"Are you...really serious?" Yue Yong asked while looking at the schedule at the back, "This is too random! How can this kind of thing be for Kagura's good!"
"Anyway, Kagura seems to be very happy." Jiang Cheng took over the schedule and continued casually, "Education at this level is already very relaxing, and there is one set reserved for her every day this week. Hours of play time, absolutely no problem.”
After saying that, Jiang Cheng turned around and walked slowly towards the corridor.
"Hey..." Yue Yong wanted to say something more, but finally stopped talking, perhaps because she didn't know how to argue with Jiang Cheng.
After all, everything on the schedule really seems to be for Kagura's good...
…
Kagura, who was standing in the entrance hall, naturally lowered her hands, leaned forward at a 45-degree angle, and said to Jiang Cheng, who had just stepped into the entrance hall of the Master House, and said, "Welcome, uncle."
Seeing Kagura's performance like this, Jiang Chengcheng just glanced at Kagura and nodded lightly.
"What's wrong with you, my uncle?" A Miao, who didn't know when he arrived, came over and complained, "Kagura-chan has obviously made such great progress, why don't you say something or say Give it a reward."
"Indeed." Kyuubei, who also didn't know when he arrived, nodded and said, "Kagura now is like two completely different people than before. In short, it's like he has been reborn."
"Yes, everyone is happy for Kagura-chan." A Miao clasped her hands together and smiled and continued, "I have really grown up a lot."
"I'm back..." With that said, Gintoki stepped into the entrance hall.
"Welcome back, Mr. Sakata." Kagura once again leaned forward politely and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Oh." Gintoki responded casually.
"Hey, hey, let me tell you," A Miao frowned and complained again, "What's going on with you two men? Is it still the same as usual when you see such a sensible Kagura?"
"I also think I need some encouragement." Jiubeyi nodded.
"No, nowhere." Kagura shook her head gently, "This kind of thing is what I should do, and so is this kind of thing. The etiquette class made me understand a lot of things."
Kubei held his chin and murmured: "You are so sensible, but you feel a little abnormal. If Miao hadn't told me that Kagura had received re-education, I might have sent Kagura to a brain hospital."
A Miao praised: "Compared to these two men, Kagura-chan will definitely be promising in the future."
"Ah, anyway..." Jiang Cheng scratched his hair impatiently, then took out a thick stack of schedules from his arms and handed them to Kagura's hand, "This is next week's schedule. If you feel happy, keep at it.”
"Thank you, uncle." Kagura lowered his head and took the schedule from Jiang Cheng's hand.
"Remember, Kagura," Gintoki said with a faint glance at Kagura, "the schedule is absolute!"
"I understand." Kagura nodded holding the schedule.
"I'm going back." Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said casually, then turned around.
Kagura bowed again and said: "Uncle, have a good journey and welcome to come again next time."
"Yeah." Jiang Chengcheng just responded lightly, and took one last look at the expression on Yule's face before leaving.
Only Jiangcheng and Gintoki noticed the almost stiff smile on Kagura's face and the dullness or dullness that had begun to appear in her eyes.
However, the two of them didn't say anything. The reason may only be clear to them.
"Miss Shimura, Miss Yagyu." Kagura smiled and looked at Ami and Kyuubei, then stretched out her hand to indicate the direction of the living room, "If you don't mind, let me make a cup of tea for you. The tea ceremony teacher said that my tea ceremony has improved. It wears off very quickly. If you don’t mind it, I hope I can take the flowers I planted with me when I go back.”
"Ara~" A Miao covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Isn't this too sensible? Yin Sang and Jiang Cheng Sang let Kagura receive re-education. It is really a very correct decision."
"But..." Jiubeyi frowned, propped his chin and muttered to himself: "I always feel that something is wrong..."
…
The second week passed in the blink of an eye. Taking advantage of the weekend, Jiang Cheng once again sent Kagura the schedule for the next week, which was the third week.
After sending him there, Jiang Cheng left without stopping at all, but before Jiang Cheng could reach the downstairs of Wanshiwu, he heard Kagura carrying the schedule.
"...Thursday at 19 o'clock, cram school, review at 22 o'clock, go to bed at 24 o'clock. Get up at 6 o'clock on Friday to preview, go home at 17 o'clock, tea ceremony... cram school at 22 o'clock... review at 22 o'clock... 24 o'clock - Saturday... flower arrangement... 17 Order violin…weekends…12 o’clock…”
Grandma Toshi standing outside the store listened to Kagura's voice reciting the schedule in a low voice from upstairs, and asked Jiang Cheng who had just walked down the stairs: "Hey, is this child okay?"
"Probably..." Jiang Cheng replied casually.
Grandma Denshi continued: "Although I am really sensible and seem to be a different person, my head feels weird. You parents should pay more attention to it."
Xiaoyu walked out of the store and said to Jiang Cheng: "Sir Jiang Cheng, when I saw Kagura-sama this morning, my eyes were completely blank. Although I told Gintoki-sama, I didn't let go at all. In my heart.”
"It's okay." Jiang Cheng waved his hand, then turned around and walked slowly towards Yoshihara, "Don't do anything unnecessary, just keep it like this."
Looking at Jiang Cheng's seemingly unconcerned back as he walked away, Grandma Dengshi turned away and spat: "Really, men are all the same, they only care about themselves."
"No, I think..." Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Cheng's leaving figure and hesitated to speak.
"Whatever is good for Kagura-chan, it's all for yourself! I can't stand it anymore!" As she said this, Granny Toshi turned around and climbed up the stairs, "Kagura-Kagura-you don't have to study today! Go play! Kagura—"
Granny Denshi who came to the door of the Wanshiwu opened the door of the Wanshiwu and shouted: "Kagura, are you going to the amusement park or something with Xiaoyu today? I will include the money in the rent." Deducted.”
Kagura hurriedly came to the entrance and bowed to Granny Denise: "Grandma Denise, you are really welcome."
Looking at Kagura, whose eyes were lifeless and whose dark circles were close to those of a panda, Granny Denshi showed a horrified expression on her face and stammered: "Kam, Kagura! You, are you really okay?!"
"What the hell," Kagura raised her head and smiled, "and as a junior, how can I make the elders care? It should be me, the junior, who cares about you. Is your health okay? Let me make you a cup of tea. How about a shoulder rub?”
"Kagura!!" Granny Toshi covered her mouth and couldn't stop crying, "That's enough! Let's rest today! Just have a good rest at home today! I will teach Gintoki and you a lesson for being unreliable. My uncle! Please rest at home today!"
"Rest..." Kagura stared blankly at her mother-in-law, and muttered in a low voice: "No, there is no rest on today's schedule. The schedule is absolute, absolutely You cannot go against the schedule, you must live according to the schedule completely, so that you can become a useful adult in the future. What is today's schedule? Get up at six o'clock, seven o'clock... eight o'clock... ten o'clock... twelve o'clock... "
"Kagura-chan!!!"
…
Late at night, a naturally curly man with heavy dark circles under his eyes and a pony-tailed man with heavy dark circles under his eyes were sitting in a ramen restaurant run by a widow, lowering their heads and drinking wine silently.
Isomatsu smiled and said: "It's really rare. I haven't seen you two drinking together for a long time."
"Ah, because I have no interest in widows." Jiang Cheng said directly without thinking.
In exchange,...
"I'm sorry, my hand slipped~" Ji Song deliberately poured the hot soup in his hand towards Jiang Cheng and apologized with a smile.
"Although I'm not interested, can you allow me to stay here for one night today?" Gintoki, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes, raised his hand and asked, "And please don't worry, except for ramen, I don't know how to do anything else. food."
"Are you two deliberately looking for trouble?" Ji Songpi asked with a smile.
Gintoki continued: "Of course, if you want to eat something weird, I will seriously consider it."
"My hand slipped!!" Isomatsu roared with white eyes and slammed the ramen bowls piled high on the ground on Gintoki's head.
The bowl and Gintoki's head shattered in response...
Glancing at Gintoki, who was lying on the table, rolling his eyes and bleeding and twitching from time to time, Jiang Cheng smiled softly, and then spoke again: "Spare him, he has indeed been working hard recently. .”
"Ara!" Ji Song covered his mouth and looked at Jiang Cheng in disbelief, "What's going on? Don't you two quarrel as soon as you meet? Why do you say that today?"
"Ah, you'll know in a minute." Jiang Cheng said casually as he put down the wine glass, and then put the wine bottle on the side with the money on the counter, "The wine will be stored here, and I will drink it next time. Goodbye."
"Ah, thank you for your patronage." Isong responded quickly.
…
Five minutes after Jiang Cheng left, a small figure opened the door of Jisong's store.
Looking at Kagura walking through the door, Ikatsu smiled and said, "How about it, Kagura? Do you want a bowl of ramen?"
"Good evening, Miss Ikamatsu." Kagura bowed and spoke with dull eyes, then walked straight towards Gintoki.
Seeing Kagura's performance like this, Isomatsu was stunned for a moment, with a bit of surprise on his face.
"What's going on here?"
