Chapter 87

Although he wanted to beat Sakata Gintoki with his own hands, Ao Ling finally held back, and as Sakata Gintoki said, he put away the game coin.

Sakata Gintoki looked at Ao Ling with a spoon in his mouth for a while, his eyes sweeping over the top of his best friend's hair that was hiding his ears at the moment.

If the ears weren't hidden, they might be drooping right now.

He paused slightly, then quickly looked away.

When Ao Ling and Sakata Gintoki returned home, the whole house had been cleaned, even the dust in the corners of the windows had disappeared, and the whole room looked a lot brighter.

The three humans and a night rabbit Lori were all lying on the tatami mats in the living room in a large shape, and except for Yoshida Matsuyo, who turned his head when he heard the sound, the others slept soundly.

Looks like I'm exhausted.

The two people who came back wanted to step lightly over the corpses on the ground, but they had only taken a few steps before the sensible ones opened their eyes.

"Wake up." Ao Ling simply took out all the things that were placed in the jade plaque, and handed over the ordered kimonos to everyone, "Just come and try it." ”

Kagura jumped up happily - after all, she was a girl, and she was always looking forward to beautiful new clothes.

Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotaro staggered to their feet, and were slightly stunned when they saw Kagura spread out the things in their hands.

"Xiao Zhensleeve?" Takasugi Shinsuke, who had just woken up, was still a little confused, and immediately reacted after thinking about today's date.

The New Year's celebration is tomorrow night.

According to their old custom, they had to prepare new clothes and wear kimonos, and then go to the shrine to worship.

This habit has not continued since the disappearance of Yoshida Matsuyo and Ao Ling, and since then, he has been busy fighting and escaping, and he has also been busy chasing the teacher's traces.

They haven't even had a stable place to live these years, let alone have a good New Year.

Takasugi Jinsuke took the clothes handed over by Ao Ling, and was a little stuck for a while.

He really didn't expect to have his own part - he had even forgotten the New Year's particularity he had always insisted on.

Takasugi Jinsuke stroked the soft and finely stitched fabric of the fabric, and after a while, he lifted his eyelids and said, "We will go out together in a group of people, and it won't be long before we can stage a street escape." ”

"It's okay, I have a way to keep others from noticing you." Ao Ling smiled and handed Sakata Gintoki's clothes to the other party, and pushed him into the room, "Try to see if it fits, I'm going to wear it out tomorrow, if it doesn't fit, I can change it." ”

Shinsuke Takasugi didn't speak again.

With Ao Ling's eyesight, of course, the size he reported would not be wrong.

Very fit and also very comfortable.

Takasugi Shinsuke looked at himself in a formal kimono in the mirror, and felt that this kind of New Year's atmosphere was really something he hadn't experienced for a long time.

Originally, this year he was able to reunite with Mr. Matsuyo and his missing companions, and he was very satisfied.

But I didn't expect such a surprise.

Takasugi Jinsuke glanced at Ao Ling, who was teaching the little girl of the night rabbit outside the door to wear small vibration sleeves, and then moved his eyes to the teacher who came out of the bathroom after changing clothes, and a trace of softness leaked from his expressionless face.

The eyes, which were always cold with blood-colored murderous intent, also seemed to be immersed in warm water, and were filled with a slight mist.

That's nice.

He thought about it, and retracted his gaze to look at Sakata Gintoki, who had changed his clothes and was rummaging in the cabinet with his ass at the moment, and kicked the other party's buttocks.

With a "bang", Sakata Gintoki's head slammed into the cabinet.

"What are you doing, Takasugi!!" Sakata Ginshi covered the big bag that came out of his head and pulled it out angrily. Out of the waist of the wooden knife with the words "Lake Toya" written on it.

"Huh." Takasugi raised his eyebrows in a good mood, "Seeing that half of your body is in the cabinet, aren't you looking for the entrance to the Dream Continent?" ”

He said, putting on a look of "I care about you", "I just want to give you a ride." ”

Gintoki Sakata didn't want to talk to him and threw a handful of Lake Toya at him.

Shinsuke Takasugi caught Lake Toya steadily, and turned to leave the room.

Ao Ling's aesthetic cultivated by Yoshida Matsuyo and Takasugi Shinsuke is still very positive, and the clothes selected for his friends are also very suitable.

- Although Sakata Gintoki was still mercilessly mocking the golden maple leaf on Takasugi Shinsuke's robe in the room.

But I'm very satisfied with this kind of thing.

"The silver time hasn't come out yet?" Ao Ling tidied up Kagura's clothes, and when he turned his head, he saw that there was still someone missing.

"It seems to be the entrance to the Dream Continent." Katsura Kotaro said.

“…… What Dream Continent? Ao Ling curiously walked to the door of Sakata Gintoki's room, and happened to bump into Sakata Gintoki, who was going out.

Then I was confused by a black mass.

Ao Ling took two steps back and saw clearly what Sakata Gintoki used to paste his face.

- It's a black puppy, and it's about the same size as when he was a milk dog...... Felt dogs.

There is Ao Ling's own smell on the felt, and it tells the monster with a keen sense of smell very clearly that this ugly felt dog is made of his hair.

"It's ugly." Ao Ling commented on the dog very straightforwardly, "...... What is it? ”

Sakata Gintoki's expression was distorted for a moment by a good ugly sentence, but he took a deep breath and still held back, pursed his lips and looked a little stiff, "A gift for you." ”

"Where did you get so much of my hair." Ao Ling took the felt dog and felt that something was not quite right.

Sakata Gintoki coughed lightly, "You used to ...... I collected it when I was a kid when I was shedding, and I made this good after you came back last time. ”

Ao Ling: "......"

Let's not talk about the amount of hair he has only lost in those rare times, let's just say that the age is so old, and Sakata Ginshi still has the hair he took off when he was a child......

"Are you ......" Ao Ling was silent for a while, "Are you an idiot?" ”

"Don't forget it!" Sakata Gintoki was trampled on a sore foot, and he reached out to get the felt dog in Ao Ling's arms.

"I want it! Why not! Ao Ling took a few steps back and hid behind Yoshida Songyang, "Although it's a little ugly, it's good that you did it yourself!" ”

"Yinshi, you actually have such a girlish hobby as wearing felt." Katsura Kotaro, who watched the whole process, had a "you perverted" expression on his face, "Sure enough, men who like sweets are perverts." ”

Sakata Gintoki choked, withdrew his gaze from Ao Ling, who was carefully kneading the felt dog, and looked at Katsura Kotaro with an indifferent face: "The spicy chicken who likes the NTR of a mature wife ♂ is not qualified to evaluate me!" ”

"What a spicy chicken! It's feelings and dreams! I apologize to the big sisters all over the world! ”

"Wig, you are, apologize to men with sweet mouths all over the world!"

"It's not a wig, it's Katsura!"

Ao Ling listened to the quarrel between Sakata Gintoki and Katsura Kotaro, lowered his head and pinched the soft and ugly felt dog, pursed his lips and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Happy?" Yoshida Matsuyo looked at his disciple's small expression and rubbed his head.

Ao Ling smiled and nodded, his tail waving happily behind him.

"Let's take a picture." Yoshida Matsuyo clapped his hands as he spoke, stopping the endless mouth cannon of Gintoki Sakata and Katsura Kotaro.

Gintoki Sakata pursed his lips, took out the camera from the drawer of his desk, looked left and right, and handed it to Kagura.

INTERVIEWER These people from Matsushita Murajuku haven't taken a photo together yet.

Yoshida Matsuyo stood in the center, flanked by Takasugi Shinsuke and Sakata Gintoki, and further out were Katsura Kotaro and Ao Ling.

The venerable division commander looked at the position, and then let Ao Ling and Sakata Gintoki stand in front and sit down cross-legged.

Ao Ling hugged the ugly felt dog that Sakata Gintoki had given him, smiling brightly.

Kagura pointed the camera at them, and her voice was milky, "I want to shoot ......"

She paused, looked at the picture in the camera, and then looked at the real scene in front of her, and was stunned for a while.

"There's no Ling in the camera." She said.

"Ahh Ao Ling reacted, and hurriedly gathered all the demonic power in his body, "Now, can you see it?" ”

Kagura nodded and took several photos in a row.

The expression of the person in the picture is warm and warm, even if it is Takasugi Shinsuke whose smile is slightly stiff, there is a very obvious softness in his eyes, reflecting the faint sunlight all over the room, and it seems to have stopped time.

……

The New Year's festival is very lively, and people are full of people wearing new clothes with happy smiles on their faces.

Ao Ling used his demonic power to blur the faces of their group, just like the people who came and went at this temple fair, playing and making trouble, occasionally buying some small objects.

In order to prevent accidents, the group bought a mask and put it on, except for Ao Ling and the two night rabbits.

Ao Ling also let go of the joy everywhere, and bought whatever he saw.

The format of the temple fair is a bit similar to the Kifune Matsuri that I participated in before, except that there is no aura that pervades the surroundings, and there are no shrine maidens with solemn expressions and portable shrines that need to be greeted.

Ao Ling bit a skewer of grilled squid, held two skewers in his hand, and stuffed a skewer to Sakata Gintoki, who was acting with him.

Sakata Gintoki wore a red ghost mask with a hideous expression, and when he saw the grilled squid stuffed by Ao Ling, he pulled out the hand in his sleeve and pushed the mask aside to reveal half of his face, nibbling on the hot squid skewers.

"Ah Ling, have you come to the temple fair for so long just to eat?" While eating, Sakata Gintoki looked at the clock in a shop, "You've been eating non-stop for three hours." ”

"It's delicious, why don't I eat it." Only at this time did I feel that it was a good thing to not have enough to eat all the time.

Gintoki Sakata bit off the squid leg in one bite, "Binge eating disorder is a disease." ”

"Binge eating disorder?" Ao Ling repeated vaguely with the squid in his mouth, feeling as if he had found a good reason to fool people again.

Sakata Gintoki threw the finished bamboo skewers into the trash, put the mask back on, and patted Ao Ling's head, "It's almost time to pay homage, find the teacher and they are going to go to the shrine." ”

Ao Ling nodded after listening, and didn't say anything about the fact that there was no breath of a god in this shrine at all, he ate the remaining grilled squid in a few bites, and pulled Sakata Silver to find someone when he smelled it.

The two Night Hares squatted in front of the goldfish fishing stall, and Kamui was holding a large pile of trophies from various challenges, and Kagura used his skill to catch the fish.

But Kagura, who is accustomed to relying on her own strength, still breaks the net.

Shenwei simply took a net himself, "How many do you want?" ”

Kagura thought for a moment and held out two fingers, "Two will be fine." ”

The elder brother of the sister control nodded, leaned out of the net and fished two directly in one go, and after giving the money to the boss, he turned around with the fish and saw Ao Ling waving to them.

The remaining three people went to stay in the tearoom outside the lively temple fair, and Ao Ling poked his head in outside the window of the tearoom and waved his hand to them with a smile.

There are many people in Edo.

There are many people who visit the shrine in the New Year, and occasionally you can see some celestial beings who are different from humans.

The group took off their masks, leisurely stepped into the shrine, washed their hands, and then slowly followed the crowd through the large torii gate and walked to the gate of the shrine.

Ao Ling casually handed out a five-yuan coin to each of them.

The shrine's New Year's bells are accompanied by fireworks that soar into the sky, and the colorful fireworks seem to illuminate Edo Castle for most of the night.

"I hope the new year will be smooth." Sakata Gintoki stepped forward and slapped his palms twice, bowed reverently, and after putting the coin in his hand into the incense box of the shrine, he reached out and shook the hanging bell.

"I hope the teacher can return smoothly." Takasugi stepped forward after Sakata Gintoki stepped back, his eyes lowered and his palms closed.

Katsura Kotaro stretched out his hand and shook the rattle, smiling, "I hope everyone can have a happy new year." ”

Yoshida Matsuyo quietly listened to the wishes of the students, and then stepped forward with a smile, clasped his palms and said softly, "I hope that the new year will have a new harvest." ”

The two Night Rabbit children looked at them, and Kamui somewhat disagreed with their behavior of pinning their hopes on an ethereal being, but Kagura had already run up and shook the rattle, and the soft voice wafted through the cool air, "I hope the family can be reunited!" ”

Shenwei was stunned, the habitual smile on his face was slightly retracted, and finally he let out a sigh, and followed to the front of the stairs, clasping his hands together and high-five.

"I hope my mother's pain will be healed."

Ao Ling stood aside, and did not intend to go up to worship and pray.

After all, there are no gods in this shrine, so if you ask him to say, it is better to worship himself than to visit this empty shrine.

He has the aura of a noble ship dragon god on him.

"Ling?" Yoshida Matsuyo's gaze fell on Ao Ling, the smile on his face was bright and warm under the light of the fireworks, his voice was soft, and he pinched his disciple's cheek, "It's good to think of it as a colorful head." ”

Ao Ling pursed his lips and did not block his friends and teachers in the first hour of the new year.

He obediently walked up the steps, put the money down, clasped his palms, and looked up at the closed door of the shrine.

"I hope that there will be no hunger in the new year."

- I hope that my friend will be safe, healthy, joyful and harmonious, and will no longer be invaded or disturbed by others.

The hanging bells swayed with a crisp sound and bright colors, as if they were shining with a beautiful glow under the reflection of fireworks.

Ao Ling turned back from the stairs, and the division commander and his friends were all full of soft smiles.

Just like the village school under the scorching sun, it is dust-free.
