[Lord Gintama] Overlooking the Throne

Chapter 37

——"What connects companions to companions is the bond, Xiaoliang, and one day you will understand."

In midsummer, cicadas sing.

At that time, Kurosawa Natsuki's gentle words were still in his ears, but in an instant, the bright red blood soaked his white shirt.

He showed the same warm smile as before, looked at her who threw herself into his arms, and slowly pulled out the bloody right hand.

Kamui's smile slightly overlapped with that person's smile at that time.

Ryo Jingomiya froze slightly, lowered her eyes, and sneered nonchalantly: "Headmaster, your second-year illness in middle school will never be cured in this lifetime."

"..." Shenwei smiled, but did not refute, and looked at the source in a blink of an eye.

Unknowingly, Afutu appeared at the entrance of the cave, looked at the young children in the petri dish, his pupils dilated slightly, then looked at Ryo Shen Gong and Kamui, scratched his head: "It turns out that you, the head Come here, what the hell is this place?"

"It's the Nakajima Research Base." Kamui glanced at Ryo Jingomiya who was still pressing his hand on the laptop, then looked at Afutu, yawned and said, "But the relevant information has been deleted, let's talk about it." Afutu, you are so stupid and you can’t understand those materials anyway, so there is no value here anymore, let’s go, we should go out... After staying in this ghost place for a long time, I am nostalgic for the white rice of the earth .”

"Headman." Unlike Shenwei, who was facing away from those petri dishes, Afutu, who was facing those weird and sad children, stared at the picture in the petri dish, his voice was slightly stiff, "I think... we It probably won't be that easy to leave, that fellow Nakajima really prepared a big gift for us."

The sound of water bubbles, one after another, gurgled.

Kamui was slightly taken aback, then turned around, surprise flashed across his dark blue eyes, followed by undisguised excitement and hostility: "It looks like a very interesting gift."

Like a child who had died long ago, he slowly stretched his body, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and then revealed those golden eyes as beautiful as glass beads.

Clear and transparent, but empty and dull.

Then, he raised his right hand slightly.

The bomb installed on the glass cover suddenly exploded, and there was a rumbling sound. The wind from the explosion mixed with the glass and blew over. Kamui opened the umbrella to block the debris.

The dust and smoke cleared, and at the moment when the glass cover exploded, Ryo Jingomiya, who hid under the computer desk, covered his mouth and nose with his hands to prevent the dust from choking the air intake.

The sound of the knife sinking slightly into the table was covered by the sound of the explosion, but Ryo Jingong, whose pupils constricted slightly, still heard the slight sound.

Ryo Jingomiya, who jumped out from under the computer desk, hit the visitor's face with his right elbow, and then kicked her to the ground with a sweep of his leg.

Very strange.

It was a little girl holding a sword.

Holding the fake of Yuehua tightly, lying on the ground in a distorted posture, as if he didn't know the pain, he stood up numbly supporting the ground, then raised the knife high, and swung it to chop.

Dodging to avoid the sharp blade, Ryo Jingomiya clasped the little girl's wrist and twisted it off. He tilted his head slightly to look at the little girl, and rushed over with blank eyes, hugging her waist tightly.

There was a sharper piercing sound from behind.

The elbow hit the top of the little girl's head, blood spattered, it felt like rotten cotton wool.

But the little girl still hugged her waist tightly, neither letting go nor showing the slightest expression of pain.

He dodged shortly, and the child who was looking at it with the knife jumped into the air, and slashed towards him expressionlessly.

Standing up quickly, Jingmiya Ryo pushed away the little girl who was hugging her, and kicked the child's knife hand in a roundabout way. The child's hand suddenly dislocated, and the katana fell to the ground with a crackling sound. sound.

Picking up the knife and slashing back, the two children who quietly appeared behind her fell down instantly.

The arms were chopped off, and the brains were cut out, but the two stood up staggeringly, and walked towards her with numb expressions.

"Little girl, cut off their heads!" Afu Rabbit who noticed this side reminded.

Raising the knife in his hand, his head rolled to Jingong Ryo's feet, staring at her quietly with his big golden eyes open.

A very uncomfortable feeling suddenly rose in Shen Gongliang's heart, so he took the time to glance at the two people over there.

Shenwei and Afutu belonged to the Yetu tribe, and they were still able to do a job with ease under such an unfavorable situation.

The sound of explosions was still coming, and children swarmed in from an unknown entrance, holding fake moonlights, and surrounded the entire cave with water.

Thousands of children, golden pupils glowing in the darkness.

When Jingomiya Ryo was a little dazed, he instinctively turned sideways to avoid a suddenly flying object.

The sight was already familiar with the darkness, Jingomiya Ryo casually chopped off the heads of several children who were close to her, looked sideways, and saw a dark purple straight umbrella inserted obliquely between the remains of the petri dish and the computer equipment , covered with viscous blood, dripping down the umbrella surface, mixed with the suspicious green liquid in the petri dish, and melted into the mud.

Suddenly there was a strange booming sound overhead.

Dust and gravel fell rustlingly, Ryo Jingomiya looked up, and a ray of golden sunlight gently poured in from the gap in the "stone slab" above her head.

Immediately afterwards, the crack grew bigger and bigger, and the wind and sand mixed with the heat outside rolled in.

Kamui, who was tightly bound by dozens of children with a suicide attack, slightly raised his head, looked at the brilliant sunlight, a hint of surprise flashed in his dark blue eyes, but the smile on his face did not change at all. .

"Leader!" shouted Afu Rabbit, who was exhausted.

She heard that the night rabbits were afraid of the sun, so she was a little curious about what would happen if the night rabbits were exposed to the sun.

Thinking badly, but hesitated for a moment, Jingomiya Ryo picked up the umbrella anyway and threw it to Kamui.

Shenwei opened the straight umbrella, and the sun filled the cave, as crystal clear as snowmelt in spring.

The children who were active before suddenly shriveled up, twisted and fell to the ground, their golden eyes gradually extinguished, and they stared at the blue sky dimly.

Shenwei glanced at her, stepped over the corpse, and said in a clear voice, "It's time to go, Afutu, Jingu."

The wind and sand will bury everything, be it the white bones or the hidden sins.

Taking one last look at the computer that had been split in half, Jingomiya Ryo turned around and followed without looking back.

After the group left, a person wrapped in a black cloak quietly walked out in the darkness.

The wind and sand mixed with the heat wave made his cloak flutter.

The pale complexion and ugly corpse spots of the children on the ground contrasted strangely.

The sun was shining brightly, falling into the black eyes of that person as deep as a cold pool, in which the scorching gilt gold flashed slightly.

……

The spaceship quickly returned to the Seventh Division carrying Shenwei and his party.

Shenwei and Afutu went to the admiral to report, but when they returned to the Seventh Division, only Afutu was left.

When Shen Gongliang asked in doubt, Afutu sighed and said: "The leader heard that the residents on the planet Niborn are good at fighting. When the spaceship passed by Niborn, the leader suddenly disappeared."

"..." After listening to Afutu's explanation, Jingong Ryo paused, and then sighed from the bottom of his heart, "You really worked hard, deputy head."

It's almost like having a baby.

This idea flashed by Jingu Ryo, and in a flash, Jingu Ryo devoted himself to her work in the Seventh Division.

The daily life in the Seventh Division is cooking.

Although she doesn't need to eat, and cooking is a very boring thing in itself, when seeing those night rabbits who were forced to swallow the hard-to-eat meals and showed painful expressions, Jingu couldn't help but feel cold. Not to mention she was a little happy.

"Shen Gong..." I don't know how many times I have eaten this kind of half-dry rice, and Afu Rabbit, clutching his stomach, sighed, "Don't you have to taste it before serving?"

Ryo Jingomiya was slightly taken aback.

She thought that Shenwei had told Afutu that she was a cannibal.

But Jingong Ryo was stunned for a moment, and soon she came back to her senses, showing a seemingly innocent sweet smile: "But I think this food tastes good, it's the deputy head, your sense of taste is too strange right?"

"You mean the taste of the whole group is very strange?" Afutu glared at her, seeing that the girl's smile hadn't changed at all, then stood up weakly supporting her forehead, "Forget it, today's meal I'll do it, you go get ready, we're going to the admiral tomorrow."

"Hmmm, to settle the ledger?" Jingomiya Ryo remembered the last task.

Going to hunt down Nakajima on the planet where there is no summer and no winter, but missed nothing. This is undoubtedly a big shame for the Seventh Division.

"It's not the time yet." Afutu glanced at her, "There is an earthling who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. He came to our Chunyu and said that he wanted to cooperate with our Chunyu. It is said that he is a warrior of the earth."

"Oh? Samurai?" Ryo Jingomiya smiled casually, thinking of those aristocrats who kept saying that they were warriors in the war against barbarians, but fled in a hurry when heaven and man attacked. "On earth, anyone can Call yourself a samurai."

"It's Heshang Wanqi from the ghost army, do you know?" Afutu asked casually.

"..." There was a slight silence, and he took off the apron on his body and threw it to Afutu. Ryo Jingomiya made a gesture of goodbye, and walked out of the kitchen door, and a gentle voice came from outside the door clearly, " No, never heard of such a man."

Afu Rabbit frowned slightly.

I always feel that Jingu Ryo's attitude is weird, is it his illusion, or is there some other reason?
