Hasegawa finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Although the process was very difficult, it finally made you understand."
"Well, actually, I have another question." Kawaki looked at Hasegawa again and asked with a serious face, "Who is the man?"
"You didn't even listen to a word!" Hasegawa shouted, "Listen to me, bastard! Weren't you crying while covering your face just now? What exactly is that?! Why are you so touched?!"
Kawaki tilted his head, his face full of confusion.
On the side, Shinpachi finally couldn't stand it anymore and explained to Kawaki, "It's Katsura-san. Miss Uchino seems to have fallen in love with Katsura-san."
"Katsura-san? Who?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.
"It's the Zura you mentioned!" Shinpachi shouted, "Remember other people's names!"
"You mean that Miss Uchino likes Zura!!" Kawaki was stunned on the spot.
"Hey, this person didn't listen at all. He didn't listen to the explanation just now." Hasegawa pointed at Kawaki with an expressionless face.
"This is Kawaki-san's personality," Shinpachi explained, a little speechless.
...
"So that's how it is. In short, I already understand everything." Kawaki cupped his hands and nodded. Then, he sighed with emotion, "But it's really unexpected. I didn't expect that someone would actually like Zura. This society has really changed."
"Why do I feel that you have a prejudice against Katsura-san from your words?" Shinpachi muttered.
"You're thinking too much. There's nothing." Kawaki waved his hand, "Although Zura always said that he liked NTR or something, that person was really super innocent. When I went to hanamachi with Gintoki and the others, Zura never went there once."
"Huh?! Really?!" It was Shinpachi's turn to be shocked, "Is that Katsura-san really the innocent type?!"
"Ah, it's almost the same." Kawaki nodded.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Hasegawa asked impatiently, "What method do you plan to use to make Katsura-san understand Miss Uchino's intentions?"
"What method? What nonsense are you talking about?" Kawaki waved his hand impatiently, "Don't joke around. I didn't say I will help."
"Hey, this person is really irritating." Hasegawa pointed at Kawaki and said to Shinpachi.
"By the way, did you get the wrong person?" Kawaki looked at Hasegawa with disdain, "Shouldn't you encourage that girl to confess to Zura? Although I think the success rate is zero."
"No," Hasegawa sighed, "Miss Uchino never had the courage to confess. She has already tested it today. So she wants to be in charge of Katsura-san."
As he spoke, Hasegawa recalled the slightly disappointed expression on Miss Uchino's face as well as those dejected words...
[That's right; I like that person. I don't even know anything about him. He's not even my patient. However, when I brushed past him in the corridor. He had these persistent and beautiful eyes...]
[When I came back to my senses, all that was left in my mind was his figure.]
[In fact, I also know that he and I are people who live in two different worlds. Moreover, we will soon be unable to see each other. That person will leave tomorrow... Now, I only hope to do nothing. I just need to keep this beautiful memory. Always, always hidden in the bottom of my heart...]
After seeing this memory, everyone present, including Kawaki, Shinpachi, and Kagura, fell silent.
"Indeed... there are good women in this world," Kawaki said with some emotion.
"What a fool!" Shinpachi said with tears streaming down his face, "Miss Uchino is really a fool! It's enough just to rush up and confess! At least show your feelings before Katsura-san leaves!"
"I am really touched-aru..." Kagura said with tears in her eyes as she ate the banana.
"I just want to repay her kindness," Hasegawa took out a cigarette and lit it, "Do you know this feeling?"
"I don't understand at all." Kawaki, Shinpachi, and Kagura shook their heads at the same time.
"Huh? It can't be true, right?"
"Don't smoke in the ward, bastard!" Kawaki punched Hasegawa and scolded, "Don't you have any manners?"
"Kawaki-san, you are the least qualified to say this..." Shinpachi retorted expressionlessly, "Making a ruckus in the ward can't be considered as having manners. And it's night now."
"Hey, you," Kawaki asked as he looked at Hasegawa, who had just stood up, "Do you really want that girl to be happy?"
"Of course it's true!" Hasegawa replied.
"Do you still want to do it even if the girl's possibility of being rejected was high?" Kawaki asked again.
Hasegawa was silent.
"Look? You don't even know yourself, let alone us." Kawaki sighed and said.
"I just want to repay her kindness..." Hasegawa murmured and then looked up, "I just want to see that girl happy!"
"Oh, you are very spirited." Kawaki nodded, "Then let's go!"
"Go? Does Kawaki-san already have an idea?" Shinpachi asked doubtfully.
"Ah." Kawaki stretched his neck and wrist, "Since he is leaving tomorrow, why don't we just prolong his stay here? If she doesn't have the courage to confess, then don't confess. What we have to do is to extend her beautiful memories."
"Prolonged? What do you mean?" Shinpachi was puzzled.
"Of course, it means that he won't be able to leave the hospital for the rest of his life," Kawaki replied with a smile, "It's best to lie in bed for the rest of his life. Then that girl will be able to have beautiful memories for the rest of her life."
"Hey, this person has a refreshing look on his face as he said something incredible," Shinpachi retorted, his head full of black lines.
"Then I should properly control my strength this time," Kawaki rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "It would be best if his entire body were paralyzed in an instant. The kind that can't get out of bed in a lifetime..."
"Don't say anymore!" Shinpachi hurriedly stopped him, "Don't say such dangerous things! Aren't you friends? How could someone do such a thing to a friend?"
"This is the best method I can think of," Kawaki looked at Shinpachi and explained, "For that girl, even if she can't open her mouth to confess, she will still have a beautiful memory."
"It's not at all!" Shinpachi retorted, "Are you really friends?! Are you really going to give your friend such a heavy hand!"
"Is it heavy?" Kawaki frowned and said to himself. Then he stretched out two fingers, "How about amputating the two legs?!"
"There is no difference at all!" Shinpachi shouted, "Can you think of a better way? There is no need to make Katsura-san suffer so miserably!"
...
In the end, they finally made a decision after a discussion.
"Alright, then "Keep the memories! Zura fracture battle!" start!" Kawaki held his hands and shouted seriously. Then he explained to himself, "The so-called "Keep the memories! Zura fracture battle!" It means that by breaking Zuras legs, he will stay in the hospital for three months. In other words, it is a great battle that can increase the beautiful memories of Miss Uchino for three months! Are you guys all ready?!"
"Yes!" x3
"Alright, lead the way!"
A few minutes after Kawaki and the others left the ward, Gintoki, who had been knocked unconscious before, slowly woke up.
"Ah, where are they?"
...
In Elizabeth's ward.
"We can finally leave the hospital tomorrow." Katsura was pouring tea into the cup on the small table propped up on Elizabeth's hospital bed with a teapot in hand. After pouring the tea, he said earnestly, "But it's really bad luck this time, Elizabeth. In the future, when we cross the zebra line, even if it's a green light, we should make sure there are no cars."
As he spoke, Katsura picked up his teacup and took a sip. He sighed, "Just being careful of the tripping stone won't allow you to survive in this chaotic world. Seeing the tripping stone should be enough for you to use a rocket launcher to blast it off!"
"Before that, you should use a rocket launcher to shoot at your head, Zura." Kawaki stepped into the door and smiled at Katsura.
"It's not Zura; it's Katsura!" Katsura replied. However, just as he finished speaking, Katsura reacted, "Kawaki! Why are you here? Could it be that... you were also sent flying by a strange uncle? Are you alright? Is your head alright?"
"Hey, what right does a heavily injured fellow have to say this?" Kawaki said expressionlessly.
"Isn't it?" Katsura asked doubtfully. But then, Katsura thought of something and looked at Kawaki with a touched face, "Did you finally figure it out, so you want to rejoin us? Do you want to create the dawn of Edo with me?!"
Looking at Katsura, whose tears were rolling in his eyes and snot was flowing out first, Kawaki retorted, "How is that possible! Do you think I have serious brain damage like you?!"
"It's still the same as before," Katsura chuckled, "You're really not frank at all, but it doesn't matter! If you can't say it out loud, you can secretly write to me!"
"Shut up, bastard!" Kawaki couldn't hold back his breath, "What the hell are you thinking about? It's not like that at all!"
"It's not a bastard; it's Katsura!" Katsura replied, "You don't have to force yourself if you can't say anything. Just secretly hand over the letter to me in private!"
"Forget it; that kind of thing is up to you." In the end, Kawaki chooses to give up arguing with this idiot in front of him, "But today, there is indeed a very important matter to find you."
"Something important!" Katsura looked at Kawaki in shock. "Could it be...!"
"That reaction, it seems you noticed it too." Kawaki snorted, "Then, you should also recognize..."
Before Kawaki could finish speaking, Katsura stood up and walked in front of Kawaki. He then took out a small note from his bosom and handed it to Kawaki.
