[Gintama] The first tenderness

The latest task is to sneak into the venue and kill the shogun when the celestial officials from Planet Bellta are visiting.

Maps and bombs are ready.

The battle plan has also been confirmed to be foolproof.

Costumes and props confirmed.

The determination to win is never absent.

All is ready except for the opportunity.It is imperative to fight against the barbarians, and the dawn of Edo is coming.

Now, just...

"Mr. Gui, if the funds are not paid out, everyone will starve to death before sneaking into the venue." The people with lofty ideals looked at him tearfully.

Gui stared at the front with serious eyes.

As a person with lofty ideals against barbarians, how can he bend his waist for a mere five buckets of rice, how can he give up his mission because he did not eat dinner, how can such a person with lofty ideals be worthy of the people of Edo, how can he be responsible for the future of Edo...

Standing beside him, Elizabeth seemed to understand the deep emotion in his heart, silently holding up the wooden sign: My condolences, Mr. Gui.

"No more, Elizabeth." Gui was deeply moved, but shook his head resolutely, and said slowly, "I have made up my mind."

He took a deep breath.

"Everyone~ Take a look when you pass by. Tonight, the Britney Sweet Ladyboy Club rewards the guests. A cup only costs 500 yen~"

The tall beauty in a purple kimono, with her black hair brushed sideways and her red lips slightly parted, greeted the crowd in Kabukicho affectionately.

"It's a very good wig, I just want to show this momentum!" Mrs. Xixiang, the owner of the club, slapped the beauty on the back vigorously, laughing loudly, full of pride, "You are the brightest kid in Kabukicho tonight!"

Gui was immediately moved, and devoted himself even more fully to the role-playing.

As long as you can attract [-] guests, you will be able to settle the funds for the next month's anti-barbarians!A man doesn't stick to details in his work, so what's the point of standing on the street?In order to achieve his goal, his wig can not only bend his waist for Wudoumi, but also change clothes for Wudoumi!

Elizabeth held up a sign: It's not a wig, it's Gui.

Gui was even more moved, looking at Elizabeth affectionately, almost choked up: "Thank you, Elizabeth!"

Holding a placard: This is what I should do, Mr. Gui.

"Elizabeth..."

Mr Gui...

The lover passing by pointed at them, saying that the man and the penguin played by the hairy-legged man were disgusting.

"Come on, Elizabeth! For the future of Edo, we must complete the target!"

10 minutes.

Three 10 minutes.

One hour.

two hours.

Only one of Gui's targets was reached, and the only one was tricked into him because he was drunk.

But Gui still has piercing eyes and is full of confidence.

He has always been such a stoic character.

Miu-

A ball of warmth stuck to his feet.Gui looked down, just in time the orange cat wagged its tail at him and let out a "meow" again, its small pointed face was clever and docile.

"Meat, meat balls...!"

He has always been scratched by cats and dogs, when did he take the initiative to get close to him?The sudden sense of great happiness immediately made Gui fascinated.He quickly threw the club's indicators out of the sky, and his heart and eyes were full of this orange ball.

Meow meow——

The orange cat rubbed its head obediently against his hand, showing no sign of resistance.

"Meatball...meatball..." Gui was so moved that he was about to cry, and he could no longer resist the instinctive call, and stretched out his paw eagerly, aiming at the orange cat's meat pad.

The evil hand is getting closer and closer to the meat ball.The cat, who sensed something was wrong, raised its head, a cold light flashed in its eyes.

"Mr. Qingbingwei? Mr. Qingbingwei, if you hear it, just 'meow'."

Meow!

The orange cat, who was about to slap the wicked human beings hard, turned around and ran out lightly.Gui didn't know that he had escaped, so he just looked at the cat's back in despair.The cat has a gentle personality and soft and shiny fur. It is obviously a domestic cat raised by someone, but I did not expect the owner to find it so soon.

The cat's owner was not far away, holding it in his arms and comforting it, his voice sounded very gentle.

"There are a lot of people here, Mr. Qing Bingwei, don't run around."

Gui looked at them quietly.It was a young girl in new-style clothes, with shoulder-length short hair, whose face could not be seen clearly against the neon lights of Kabukicho.

Ten years ago, after the failure of the war against barbarians, the shogunate formally established diplomatic relations with heaven and man, followed by leaps and bounds in technological development, as well as completely different lifestyles and cultural trends from the past, flooding the country like a flood.Now walking on the street, kimonos have become a minority, and more people like light and lively celestial clothing.

Gui never misses the old days.He feels that people in the new era are living very well, but if the decadent shogunate can be pushed out of the stage of history, and then the arrogant heavenly beings can be driven out of their hometown, then it will be an ideal country that is truly independent and free.Only occasionally, when he looked at the people who no longer wore kimonos as their only clothing, he would feel a little melancholy.

The young woman comforted the cat, held it firmly, and stood up.She glanced at Gui and walked towards him.

"Hello miss, sorry to bother you. I just arrived in Edo, and I seem to be lost now. If it's convenient, which direction should Ebisu go?"

Sure enough, she was a beautiful woman, but not as young as Gui just imagined.From the looks of it, she seemed to be only two or three years younger than him, and she also had a generous expression, which was completely different from the greenness and innocence of a fledgling teenager.

"Ah, Ebisu's words are going to..."

Gui's fingers stopped in mid-air.

The appearance of a person changes with the passage of time.Clothes, tone of voice and demeanor, plus the refraction of life experience in the eyes; all these accumulated, it becomes a person who has not known the old friend for many years.But that's for ordinary old friends.

What if it's a close friend?

Katsura Kotaro remembers every classmate of Matsushita Private School, but for girls, it is limited to name and vague appearance.

Except Sakurai Hatsaba.

Except Ah Chu.

"Sorry," he murmured, his eyes refocused on the woman in front of him, "Ma'am, what is your name...?"

She kept looking at him, tilting her head slightly.When he asked this sentence, she suddenly smiled.The amber eyes were peaceful and warm, and the cheeks bulged out a little, not as soft as balls of meat, but still soft.

"My name is Sakurai Hatsue, and I'm coming to Edo to find someone." She said, "His name is Katsura Kotaro. Have you met him?"

Only at that moment, time suddenly turned back.The night fades into day, the tall buildings return to the plains; the bustling Edo turns into a rural place thousands of miles away.The cherry blossoms were blooming and the sun was just right. A cat named "Miyamoto Musashi-sama" was lying on the veranda, and the teacher walking from the other end waved to them.

"Ah... Chu..."

The scenes from many years ago overlapped with the present, and in the end only the smile in front of me remained.She raised the cat in her hand, stretched out one of its front paws, and stretched it out in front of him.

"Get acquainted, this is Mr. Qingbei." She said, "Mr. Qingbei, this is Wig Kotaro. From now on, you should get along well and teach each other a lot."
