Chapter 227: There Are Not So Many Coincidences in Life...
Shinsengumi station, in the training room.
Toshiro and Sogo were sparring with each other.
"Recently, you have always been inquiring beside my sister," Sogo was dressed in training clothes, his hands holding a bamboo sword as he continuously attacked Toshiro, "What the hell are you trying to do?!"
Toshiro continuously blocked Sogo's attacks. His head was already covered in sweat, but as the attacker, Sogo had even more sweat on his face.
"Can I ask you not to ruin your sister's happiness from now on?" As he spoke, Sogo waved his bamboo sword once again.
"Kuraba Touma is suspected of carrying out a large number of weapons smuggling activities with the rogue ronin in secret." Toshiro, who blocked Sogo's attack, finally spoke up, "He is a black market dealer who sells smuggled weapons to ronin at a high price. Your sister's fiancee is our enemy."
"Hijikata-san, no matter what weapons Jouishishi are holding, all we have to do is kill them all. It's a minor problem." As he spoke, Sogo forced Toshiro to take a small step back, "He can't stay in business unless he's willing to deal with all sorts of people. Moreover, you also saw that person's character, right? He deeply loves my sister from the bottom of his heart and will definitely make my sister happy!"
"Do you want me to turn a blind eye to him?!" As he spoke, Toshiro forcefully pushed Sogo back.
"Ara? Is that how it sounded?" Sogo stood where he was and spoke.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. This is the end of the training." As he spoke, Toshiro walked toward the training room door.
"I haven't finished speaking!" As he spoke, Sogo directly turned around and forcefully stabbed the bamboo sword in his hand out.
However, in the end, it was still dodged by Toshiro, who reacted. Toshiro stood at the door of the training room and scolded, "Are you half-asleep or something?! Do you really think your sister will be happy when she is together with that..."
Just as Toshiro was talking, he noticed that Sogo's expression had completely changed. The bamboo sword in Sogo's hand also fell to the ground.
"Time is running out..." Sogo raised his head, tears appearing in the corners of his eyes, "She doesn't have much longer to live. I really can't stand it. Since I was little, she took care of me, ignoring her own needs, and even... Putting aside her own matters and the delay of the wedding, she finally managed to grasp happiness in her hands. At least... At least before she dies, I want her to experience happiness like other people. "
As he spoke, Sogo leaned over and bowed toward Toshiro. He pleaded, "I'm not saying that you should turn a blind eye, just... I just hope you can give me a little more time! Please!"
This might be the first time that Toshiro had seen Sogo cry with such an expression. It was also the first time that he had seen Sogo beg him so humbly, but...
"Hijikata-san, my sister has always been single. It's all because of you..." Sogo raised his head and continued, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Toshiro.
Toshiro turned around and lit a cigarette. He then gently puffed out a mouthful of smoke, "Hey, their deal goes down tomorrow night. Make sure your sword's in good shape..."
After saying that, Toshiro left with a cigarette in his mouth.
Looking at the back of Toshiro, who was about to walk away, Sogo finally could not help but pick up the bamboo sword on the ground and shout at Toshiro...
...
On the roof of the hospital.
Kawaki, Gintoki, and Yamazaki stood in front of the railing and looked at the sunset in the distance. While Kagura and Shinpachi were still in the ward with Mitsuba, Kawaki and Gintoki had already learned the truth from Yamazaki.
"Does that woman know about this?" Gintoki was the first to speak.
"No, the deputy chief told me not to tell anyone." Yamazaki, who had changed into Shinsengumi's uniform, replied.
"Didn't you already tell us?" As he said that, Gintoki directly punched Yamazaki in the head.
"It hurts!" Yamazaki rubbed the place where he was knocked and retorted loudly, "It's all because of the two bosses..."
"What's wrong with us? Are you saying that it's our fault?" Gintoki shouted.
However, Kawaki suddenly felt something at this moment. Then, he stretched out his hand and felt it carefully. Then, he raised his head and looked at the sky that had become a little dark, "Rain... It's raining..."
"Yes..." Gintoki also looked up at the sky.
"Oh no! I almost forgot the deputy chief's order!" Yamazaki slapped his forehead, then turned around and ran, "Deputy chief appointed time has arrived! I'll go first! About Miss Mitsuba, I will be counting on you two!"
"Always ask others to do such a troublesome thing, really..." Gintoki scratched the back of his head impatiently.
"Gintoki..." Kawaki turned to look at Gintoki and continued, "As expected... it is very suitable to eat spicy hotpot on rainy days!"
"Are you still thinking about this?!" Gintoki rolled his eyes and retorted, "Is your head just full of eating?!"
"Are you underestimating the spicy hotpot?!" Kawaki grabbed Gintoki by the collar and shouted.
"No one said that! Bastard!" Gintoki retorted without hesitation, "By the way, sukiyaki hotpot is more delicious! What exactly is a spicy hotpot? Your eating habits are too strange!"
"The strange thing is you! You are the only one who thinks that the light and tasteless thing is delicious!" Kawaki gritted his teeth and said.
Not far away, Shinpachi and Kagura, who had just arrived, looked at Gintoki and Kawaki, who were arguing about this question. The two of them were speechless at the same time.
"It's better to hack these two men to death..." Shinpachi said expressionlessly.
Kagura nodded expressionlessly in agreement.
...
The next day.
The rain had not stopped since yesterday.
"Hey, your Jump." Kawaki took a jump from his bosom as he spoke and threw it to Zenzou.
"Ah, thank you so much!" Zenzou took the Jump and said with a grateful face. Then he flipped it over excitedly.
On the side, Gintoki was sitting by Mitsuba's bedside, bored, watching the two little brats talking and laughing with Mitsuba.
"Hey, Gin-san, Kawaki-san, what did the two of you talk to Yamazaki yesterday?" Suddenly, Mitsuba asked.
"About this..." Gintoki pinched his chin and said with a rare serious look, "Sure enough, sukiyaki hotpot is still better!"
"Nani?! You heretic!" Kawaki was instantly unhappy, "It is better to eat spicy hotpot!"
"No, you are the only one who likes to eat that kind of thing!" Gintoki retorted, "If you eat too much of that kind of thing, you will get hemorrhoids like the hemorrhoids ninjas over there! Besides, I am the real Japanese! Isn't it normal for Japanese people to like eating sukiyaki?"
"Only you will like that kind of light and tasteless hotpot!" Kawaki retorted without hesitation, "You naturally wavy hair extraterrestrial!"
"Who is a naturally wavy hair extraterrestrial?!"
Then, the two of them started fighting again because of the hotpot problem.
"Haha..." Seeing this scene, Mitsuba was amused, "Boys are like this no matter how old they are; they will only make trouble when they get together."
As she spoke, Mitsuba recalled the time when she was still in Bushu, and there was a trace of emotion in her eyes, "They too... The boys look happiest when they get together, and as a result, there is absolutely no room for the girls to interrupt. As a result... everyone left me and walked away. They didn't even look back..."
"It's too much to leave such a good woman alone~" Gintoki curled his lips and said casually.
"Huh?" Mitsuba couldn't help but laugh again, "That's right, so I must live a very happy life to impress them. At this age, I'm still single, and my health is not good. Worry comes and goes, so I must become happy and let So-chan feel at ease."
Kawaki and Gintoki did not speak.
"You will definitely be happy, S sister!" Kagura cheered.
"Definitely, Shinpachi echoed, "A gentle person like Miss Mitsuba. Lord God will definitely bless Miss Mitsuba and make her happy! So, you will definitely get better! Be confident in your future life! Miss Mitsuba!"
"You two..." Miss Mitsuba looked at Shinpachi and Kagura, who were cheering for her, "Thank you so much, both of you."
After saying that, Mitsuba looked at Kawaki again and said, "Um, did you bring spicy hotpot like yesterday today? If you have that, I will feel even happier."
"About that..." Kawaki scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Actually, today, the shop was closed because the boss cheated, so the boss's wife closed the shop. The boss's wife is currently searching for the boss with a knife all over the street."
"Is that so..." Mitsuba's face instantly became disappointed. Then he looked at Gintoki, "What about the super spicy rice cracker? That's fine too."
"Actually, the boss of the spicy hotpot cheated with the convenience store lady that sold the spicy rice cracker... So..." Gintoki shrugged and explained.
"That's really an incredible situation..." Mitsuba placed her hand on her face and muttered.
"After all, this is a sick society~" Gintoki sighed.
Shinpachi: Hey, Kagura-chan, these two really don't blush when they make up nonsense...
Kagura: you are right...
"Let's eat something light today," suggested Kawaki, "Let's wait until you feel better before eating spicy food."
"You're right." Gintoki nodded in agreement.
"I see... That's the only way..." Mitsuba said with a slight frown. However, just as she finished speaking, Mitsuba covered her mouth and coughed violently.
"Hey! Are you alright?!" Kawaki and Gintoki shouted at the same time.
"Ah, it's okay..." Mitsuba said reluctantly, "I just want to have a chat..."
However, at this time, Kawaki found the blood in Mitsuba's hand. Although Mitsuba tried to hide it, Kawaki still found it.
"Don't force yourself! Don't force yourself at this time!" Gintoki shouted. The next moment, he also found the blood in Mitsuba's hand, "Doctor! Doctor! Shinpachi! Hurry up and call the doctor!"
"I got it!" With that, Shinpachi rushed out.
"It's alright..." Mitsuba said reluctantly again, but just as she finished speaking, she began to cough violently again...
