"There?"
Xiaoyu lowered her head and asked softly, her facial expression always hidden in the shadows.
"Xiaoyu..."
Jiang Cheng called softly, and his eyes softened a lot.
Then he raised his head and turned his head to look at the sky above Yoshihara, whose "ceiling" had been completely removed, and stared for a long time.
"Do you still remember our agreement?"
Jiang Cheng asked.
The day in my memory:
"Then is there anything that Mr. Jiang Cheng wants to do? If you know what Mr. Jiang Cheng wants to do, maybe Xiaoyu can also find what he wants to do."
"Is there something I want to do..."
Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked out the window, looking at the trio of Wanshiwuwu who were making trouble downstairs with gentle eyes, raised his lips calmly, and then turned back...
"Just to make everyone's life a little easier..."
—The memory ends.
"Xiaoyu, that includes you," Jiang Cheng continued, "Since we are already so human-like, let's just live a little easier like them."
Xiaoyu's hands that were parked in front of her gradually tightened, and it took a long time before she uttered: "Xiaoyu is a robot..."
"That's it..." Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of something, his eyes gradually softened, and he took a step forward and reached out his hand to gently place it on Xiaoyu's head, "Because he is a robot, are some things more unforgettable than humans? Then it's very simple, just delete all the data about me. It will definitely...it will definitely be a lot easier."
"Delete...delete..." Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Jiang Cheng with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Cheng shook his head, "In fact, humans will also forget some bad, painful, and sad memories little by little. Human beings are the creatures in this world that like to forget most.
I originally thought that forgetting was something unforgivable, but later I gradually understood that forgetting... is the most common thing for human beings.
Then, you are only a little bit away from being a real human being, so work harder to become a real human being, Xiaoyu. "
After saying that, Jiang Cheng smiled softly and rubbed Xiaoyu's hair, his eyes full of hope.
"Lord Jiang Cheng..."
Jiang Cheng retracted his hand, turned around and came to the eaves a little bit. At the same time, he continued: "Don't be like me. I am a guy who doesn't forget well. In the end, I can't forget anything. Really... very tired."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng exhaled gently, adjusted his mood, turned his head, and continued in a relaxed tone.
"So, Xiaoyu, at the end of this, let me choose a slightly easier way to end it.
Helping humans and so on, this is originally the task of machines, right? Then…
After completing this final task, you will also become a real human being. "
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then big tears couldn't stop pouring out of her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.
"Ara ala, it's true..." Jiang Cheng showed a bit of helplessness and shook his head, "You know, in my life, the number one opponent I find difficult is women's tears. I have really grown up. , Xiaoyu.”
Xiaoyu raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears that she couldn't stop, and then took out the time machine that she had always carried with her.
At this time, Jiang Xiang seemed to have thought of something, and reached out to pick off the mole on his forehead, and then reached out to touch Xiaoyu's forehead.
"Well, don't forget this. Let's start, Xiaoyu."
Jiang Cheng showed a smile again.
After gritting her teeth, Xiaoyu pointed the lens of the time machine straight at Jiang Cheng with trembling hands. The time had been set to five years ago.
"Don't be afraid. There are many, many companions of yours in this world. Also, your life is still very long. I am just a passerby in your long life."
"Lord Jiang Cheng, Sayunara..."
Xiaoyu pressed the button on the time machine with trembling hands, and a small smile finally broke out on her tear-stained face.
"Yes, Sayunala."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng, with a relieved smile on his face, disappeared in the bright light illuminated by the time machine.
At the same time, the whole world also changed in the light...
…
Xiaoyu, who had come back to her senses, was still standing on the roof of Yoshihara, holding the time machine that had been scrapped because of the previous blow.
The tourist girl below was waving goodbye to the police who put the harassing guest into the police car. Nothing seemed to have changed.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing there?"
A familiar voice came from downstairs.
Looking at Yue Yong who was holding the pipe and raising her head to ask questions to her, Xiaoyu's tears that had just stopped could not stop falling down her cheeks for some reason.
Obviously you want to redeem that person, why...why
[DELETE...] Just like Jiang Cheng said, Xiaoyu issued a delete command to his brain.
but…
The system rejected Xiaoyu's instructions. No matter how many times the instructions were issued, the system rejected Xiaoyu's instructions without exception.
At this time, Xiaoyu finally understood that in the end, Jiang Chengcheng just wanted to understand that he was no longer any different from human beings.
—Because that’s how humans are.
Somehow, Xiaoyu, who was kneeling on the ground, began to cry loudly, like a human being, hugging her shoulders and crying loudly.
"Xiaoyu..."
Yue Yong, who came behind Xiaoyu unknowingly, looked at Xiaoyu who couldn't stop crying, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Could it be that this child has been suppressed for five years? After everyone cried five years ago, they have been suppressing it until today...
Finally, Yue Yong came to Xiaoyu and knelt down, patted Xiaoyu on the shoulder and took Xiaoyu into her arms.
"Xiaoyu, that idiot said: When you are happy, you can laugh without caring about your image, and when you are sad, you can cry loudly without any scruples. All he wants to do is to support the people behind him with such a free future. You are The last one. It’s…enough.”
Xiaoyu, who was leaning on Yue Yong's shoulder, still couldn't stop crying.
"I obviously... I obviously want to save him... I obviously want to save him... Why? Why? I also worked very hard to make the time machine, why why? In the end, I still couldn't do anything..."
Xiaoyu said while sobbing, like a real child, she expressed all her complaints and grievances in one breath.
"Why?"
Gintoki's lazy voice sounded from behind Kodama.
"Of course it's because you can't bring that idiot back alone, right? Everyone?"
"He is an idiot after all. One person cannot bring back such an idiot Al."
With tears in her eyes, Xiaoyu turned around and looked at Gintoki and the others who had appeared behind her at some point, and was stunned.
"But, it's really exciting to finally catch his weakness." Fourteen grinned with a sinister smile on his face, "Finally, he can pay back all the debts he owes."
"Yes, I can finally become the deputy chief."
"Ah, yes." Fourteen nodded subconsciously, but then he reacted, "Hey! What do you mean? Why can you become the deputy chief? Tell me clearly! What do you want to do back in the past? ! Sougo!"
Sougo propped his chin up and thought: "No, why not just try to become the director..."
Fourteen pointed at Sougo and looked at Kondo: "Hey! Kondo-san! This guy is definitely thinking about very dangerous things! We can't let him go back to the past! We definitely can't let him go back to the past!"
Sougo shook his head and continued: "No, am I also in the position of general..."
"You are too dangerous! What on earth do you want to do!!"
"Takasugi, Gintoki, Sakamoto,"
Beside, Guitou, who was sharpening his knife on the whetstone held by Elizabeth, reminded him without looking back: "Would you like to sharpen your knife too? I can't wait to teach him a lesson."
"Ah hahaha, sharpening the knife..." Sakamoto touched the back of his head with one hand and covered his lower body with the other hand, "Then I will be disrespectful, and it happens to be in Yoshiwara, wait for me for thirty minutes... no, wait for me for an hour May I?"
"Who told you to sharpen the knife there?!" Mutsu raised his foot and kicked Sakamoto to the ground.
Jianghua, Xinghaibozhu, Kamui, Songyang, Hao, Shinsengumi, Ghost Soldiers, Katsura...
Looking at the countless people who came behind her, Xiaoyu looked in disbelief.
"Why...why everyone..."
"Who knows," Gintoki blew the boogers off his little finger and stared at Xiaoyu with his unmotivated dead eyes, "I just feel like I haven't cried even once in the past five years and I always carry it. All the women must be doing something stupid, just like that idiot. But it is also obvious that you are much more mature than him, because everyone has discovered it. "
"It's really amazing, Xiaodama." The old man from Gengai on the side crossed his arms and praised, "To think that one person secretly created such a thing secretly, I, the best mechanic in Edo, have to be defeated."
"Dad, I am number one now." Sanlang reminded him with a silly smile on his face, rubbing his head.
"Shut up! It's too early for you!"
"It's useless if you don't accept it, Dad."
"What did you say?! You unworthy man!"
"This time I can finally become the Pirate King..." Kamui bent his eyes and smiled.
"Aren't you already the Pirate King a long time ago, Aru?" Kagura narrowed her beady eyes and replied, "Aren't you the fastest swimmer in that bald man's dirty OO, Aru? So you were already born. It’s the Pirate King.”
"Kagura-chan! Don't say such dirty words!" Master Xinghaibo scolded him with a serious face, "After all, you are also number one!"
"Is this it?!" Shinbaji complained on the side, "Ignore what you said about dirty OO?!"
Looking at everyone making a fuss, Xiaoyu was still in a daze.
