"Souda! It's me who's pulling Kagura!" Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and agreed, then propped up his cheeks and muttered unhappily: "Although it's not cute at all, it's just that it's not cute at all! But... even if If it’s not cute…how can it be repaired!”
Xin Baji pushed his own body and complained: "Well, Jiang Chengsang, if there is a mirror, I really want you to see your expression now. The contrast is too great. It's terrible to be arrogant. .”
"You are the least qualified to say this!" Gintoki and Master Xinghaibo shouted at Jiang Cheng drunkenly with their eyes rolled.
Gintoki waved his hands, curled his lips in confusion, and reprimanded: "You are obviously Kagura's only relative on earth, but you don't care about leaving Kagura in such an unreliable place, what kind of kid are you? Uncle? Go and die quickly! You scum!"
Xin Bajiu twitched the corner of his mouth and reminded: "Well, Yin Sang, that unreliable place is your home, and that unreliable person is yourself."
"Huh?! What did you say?!" Jiang Cheng was unhappy for a moment and looked at Gintoki with his eyes rolled and gritted teeth, "Do you mean I want to save trouble? You mean I deliberately threw Kagura to you? Is that?! Although it does mean that, but it’s not! Not at all!”
Gintoki, who ignored Jiang Cheng, turned to look at the leader of Xinghaibo, and scolded: "And you, a scumbag who gave up raising your daughter and hair follicles, why are you pretending to be a father now! With this scumbag, Go to hell! Go to hell quickly!"
"I'm not giving up!" Master Xinghaibo retorted loudly, "I just respect the autonomy of my daughter and Hair Follicle! I just let them freely choose to study abroad!"
Gintoki: "They have completely taken root abroad! They will never come back to their country again!"
"Get out of my way! Baldy!" Jiang Cheng, who stretched out his hand to pull the leader of Xinghaibo away, spat, "Hey, Gintoki, you bastard..."
The leader of Xinghaibo interrupted Jiang Cheng angrily: "Who are you talking about being bald? I told you that he would come back! He would come back with blond hair! Both his daughter and the hair follicles will come back!"
Seeing the three people who were getting more and more noisy and about to start a fight, Shinpachi quickly stretched out his hand to persuade: "Ah, really, it's time for you three to stop, right? I understand that you are all worried about Kagura-chan, But everyone’s daughter will have such a day sooner or later.”
The fussing between Jiang Cheng and the others stopped.
Shinpachi continued in a calm tone: "If even Kagura-chan agrees, her boyfriend must be a good guy, but we who are supposed to welcome him behave like this, which makes Kagura-chan feel embarrassed. Although It will be a little lonely, but our mentality must be more like adults, so I will leave first, and you three must entertain others well tomorrow."
After saying that, Shinbaji stood up and took one last look at the three of them, then turned around and walked towards the door of the tavern.
After Shinbaji left for a while, the leader of Xinghaibo, who had remained silent, lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand and let out some emotion.
"Adults... Indeed, we just got a boyfriend. We are too un-adult-like. I know clearly in my heart that I have been so happy watching her grow every day since she was a child. Watching her grow up every day. She learned to stand up, learn to walk, and watched her slowly learn to speak. I was happy and worried at the same time. I don’t know when it started... After the child grew up, I couldn’t simply feel happy. Happy. Before that, I always feel a sense of loss.”
"That's right..." Jiang Cheng lay on the table, gently shaking the wine glass in front of him, with a gentle expression: "Kagura is the only one who can call me uncle, even though he's not cute at all. , but I always feel very happy whenever I hear her calling her uncle. I also begin to be afraid that I will never see that lively and innocent figure again, or hear that voice asking for pocket money. He always has a sweet voice like "little uncle" or something like that. I originally thought it would be fine as long as he is behind me. Occasionally he jumps up and calls me "little uncle" or something like that. I am really... an idiot."
"Yes." Gintoki took the words with some emotion, held up his cheeks and continued to talk to himself: "I thought it was an adult's mission to stand in front of the children and protect them from wind and rain, but unknowingly, Being overtaken by them and watching them run further with a smile is what adults should do. Sigh—I can still run, obviously."
Master Xinghaibo chuckled softly and said with some relief: "That's it, we are all the same, and we are all still young."
"Growing up and stuff... is not enough." Jiang Cheng, who was lying on the table, sighed softly while turning the small wine glass, then picked up the wine glass and slowly raised it.
"Are we going to climb too?" Gintoki slowly raised his glass, "Sir's stairs..."
Then, the three men poured the last glass of wine into their mouths at the same time...
…
The next morning, Shinbaji walked up the stairs while muttering to himself worriedly.
"Is there any problem with the three of you? Even though you looked like that yesterday, you will be more mature now that you agreed, right? It should be fine, right?"
With that said, Xin Bajia, who had already arrived in front of the door of Wanshiwu, stretched out his hand to open the sliding door, but at this moment, three heads slammed through the sliding door and poked out.
"Welcome!!"×3
"ah!!"
Looking at Jiang Cheng and the others who suddenly emerged, Xin Baji was frightened and screamed and fell to the ground.
"Welcome to Sakata's house!"×3
Looking at the three people with their faces covered in blood, their bloodshot eyes widened with ferocious expressions, grinning, and their facial muscles almost spasming, Xinbachi... fell silent.
"What, it turns out to be Shinpachi." Gintoki's voice was hoarse.
"What are you three doing!" Xin Bajiu stood up and shouted angrily after coming back to his senses, "You're scaring me to death!"
The leader of Xinghaibo apologized calmly and explained: "Sorry, sorry, because my boyfriend is coming, so I have been waiting at the entrance since last night, and I accidentally let out my momentum."
"Since yesterday?!" Xin Bajia's whole body felt bad.
"In order to greet my boyfriend with a smile, the three of us spent one night practicing how to smile and how to smile well. What exactly is a smile? How do you write the word smile? As a result, we fell into this cycle."
When he said this, Gintoki's facial muscles were still twitching.
Jiang Cheng said in a hoarse voice: "In the end, we chose such a friendly and cordial smile, and we have kept it until now. How about it? Is it very cordial and good-looking? Isn't it going to embarrass Kagura? No way! "
"I'm so kind to you!"
The leader of Xinghaibo then asked: "How is it? Are we laughing? We are indeed laughing, right?"
"You are indeed laughing, but others will not be able to laugh!"
Gintoki continued: "Don't worry, we have adjusted your mentality today, and we will not let Kagura be embarrassed."
"Don't worry!" Jiang Cheng took the words and echoed.
"No, no, no! How can there be an adult with such a smile! It's good that you have figured it out, but this is too much! You need to smile more naturally!"
Click—
The door was opened by Xin Baji, who walked in slowly and looked at Jiang Cheng and the three people in front of him, and the corner of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.
Lord Xinghaibo looked down at Shinpachi and continued: "I know, Shinpachi-kun. Exaggerated receptions will make your boyfriend feel stressed. It doesn't matter. We are adults today."
"But the grown-ups dress too casually to meet guests." Gintoki took the words and looked at Jiangcheng and Master Xinghaibo who were standing aside.
Jiang Cheng took over the words: "So after our careful thinking, especially the need to show our side as adults, we unanimously decided..."
"Formal attire is a must!" The three of them said at the same time.
At this time, he raised his head and looked at the three "adults" in formal attire in front of him, with their heads already touching the ceiling and struggling to turn around, Xin Baji finally complained.
"You have really become a big adult! What do you want to do when you become such a big adult?! Is this what it means to become an adult?!"
"Why?"
Master Xinghaibo looked at Shinpachi in confusion.
"what?"
Gintoki also looked puzzled.
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Cheng looked confused.
"What a size! No matter where you look, it's wrong! This feeling of oppression cannot be concealed! Others will be pressed so hard that they can't breathe!"
"Is it your imagination?" Gintoki didn't care, his voice was calm, "The head-to-body ratio in this work is originally like this."
"Do you think we are football players?!"
Gintoki, who sat down on the sofa, naturally picked up a "Natural God News" newspaper and started reading it. At the same time, he replied in a relaxed tone: "Calm down, Shinpachi, it's unnatural. It's just you. We will be responsible for entertaining the guests. Just wait with your legs crossed."
Shinpachi pointed at Gintoki and complained wildly: "No! No matter how you think about it, it's you who is unnatural! Your body is too big!"
"Ah? Isn't this nature newspaper from yesterday? Why didn't you throw it away?"
"By the way, what news are you watching! If others see it, they will think that our family is very complicated! They will think that our family is very troublesome! Stop reading!!"
As soon as Xin Baji finished speaking, the floor suddenly shook.
Jiang Cheng, who was carrying a plate full of strange and unknown creatures, walked over slowly: "The refreshments for the guests are also ready. I hope that child can also thank the gods of nature for their gifts like us. That should be enough. ?Gintoki?”
Gintoki responded casually: "Ah, that's okay. I just don't know if the child likes sweets. It's best to prepare another flavor."
Looking at the rag dolls with frightened expressions, full of blood, and all kinds of caterpillars on the plate, which were constantly exuding a dark aura, Xin Baji felt even worse: "It's so big! Jiang Chengsang, what are you doing?" It’s for tea! What’s the matter with such horrible tea! Put it away! Put it away for me!”
Lord Xinghaibo, who was kneeling in front of a gloomy altar with a prayer bead, closed his eyes and muttered: "Mother of the child, God of Nature, Kagura-chan is bringing her boyfriend back, and new believers are about to be added. "
