Chapter 9: There Is Only One Place the Eyes Look at From Beginning to End
A long time had passed since Sakamoto was injured. Although his external injuries had already healed, Sakamoto could no longer use his sword.
"Why have those Amanto been chasing us like crazy recently..." Kawaki sat in the room and sighed, "They don't even give us time to rest."
"Hahaha, the wars all over the country are gradually ending. Only us are left, hahaha..." Sakamoto Tatsuma rubbed his head and replied.
"So, they turned all their forces to us? It is not good news." Kawaki replied.
"Not all bad news. We have also received more companions, and we have grown a lot stronger than before." Gintoki said.
"According to the investigation of the Ghost Soldier Team, it has now been identified." At this time, Takasugi pushed open the door and came in, "The guy who Kawaki killed with eyes on his head seems to be a big shot of a mercenary group."
"So, is it for revenge?" Gintoki looked at Takasugi and asked.
"Who knows? But they were originally the mercenary group that Bakufu paid for. Whether Kawaki kills that man or not, they are all our enemies," Said Takasugi, leaning against the door.
"I have a plan. I will take a team to stay behind to cover the rear. You take the opportunity to retreat." Kawaki said without hesitation.
"Don't joke around! Those Amanto have already issued a bounty on your head! Those hot weapons and spaceships are not something that you can block by yourself!" Takasugi retorted.
"It is better to preserve our strength as much as possible now. Kawaki is right. I will stay with Kawaki. You retreat." Gintoki replied.
"No, you should retreat as well. Let me, the [Amanto], deal with Amanto," Kawaki stretched out a finger and continued as if nothing had happened, "Isn't there a saying that goes,' You need to use magic to defeat magic '?"
"You just watched Jackie Chan's Adventures all night, right? Your dark circles are the best proof! Why are you pretending to be a hairy dad!" Gintoki complained crazily.
"Well, in short, now I want to protect the charm called [Companion]." Kawaki continued, "Moreover, I am not such a weak man. No matter how many cold machines they have, I will tear them down."
"I, I request to stay behind with Kawaki-senpai." A strange voice suddenly sounded behind Kawaki and the others.
"Scared!" Everyone was shocked and turned their heads at the same time, "You... Who are you?"
"I think I can help you, even though I am a person with no sense of presence." Kurokono Tasuke scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"When did you come here?" Gintoki asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. Ahahahaha, hahahaha."
"I didn't sense his aura at all. What an amazing guy." Takasugi said this sentence.
"Actually... I have always been here."
"Kurokono, I have always remembered you." Kawaki secretly flipped through the name list of the team while trying to be brave.
"If you remember, you won't flip the name list, right" Gintoki shouted.
"What name list? It's just a manga. It's just a Shonen Jump that I just bought!" Kawaki argued.
"Do you dare to take your hand out? Bastard!"
"What is there to be afraid of!" Kawakiwas still trying to be brave, but the next moment Kawaki was stunned because Kawaki found out that he didn't know when he actually had a Shonen Jump!
"This is... Misdirection!" Kawaki said in disbelief.
(PS: Misdirection, Kuroko's famous stunt of passing the ball using his meager presence in "Kuroko no Basket")
Suddenly, a scene flashed in Kawaki's mind. On the battlefield, Kawaki was constantly fighting the enemy.
But suddenly, Kawaki was hungry. At that moment, Kawaki subconsciously found a piece of... braised meat in his mouth!
"You, please be sure to stay by my side!" Kawaki stood up and bowed to Kurokono.
"You just want to eat!" Gintoki kicked Kawaki in the butt.
Kawaki got up from the ground and rubbed his butt, "I was just thinking, maybe he can help me something."
"Stop pretending! I know what you are thinking!"
"Well, Gintoki-senpai, Kawaki-senpai, please stop arguing. Although it is a small matter, I will be very happy if I can help." Kurokono advised.
At the same time, Kurokono held a plate of braised meat and Shonen Jump in each of his hands.
'So fast! I didn't notice it at all!' Gintoki thought in his heart.
'So fast! I didn't expect him to cook such delicious food in such a short time...' Before Kawaki could finish thinking, Gintoki kicked him over.
"Don't you still want to eat"
"Don't worry about it. Let's eat together." Kawaki placed the braised pork on the table.
"Speaking of which, where did Zura go?" Kawaki asked as he ate.
"He must have entered the widow's house again. He just likes..." Before Gintoki could finish his words, he was kicked away. At the same time, Katsura's voice sounded, "It's not the widow; it's the NTR!"
"What are you doing, Zura!" Gintoki got up and shouted.
"It's not Zura! It's Katsura!" Katsura sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of meat for himself.
"Ahahaha, hahahahaha..." Sakamoto Tatsuma, who was at the side, was laughing shamelessly.
...
Night.
"If you have something to say, why don't you say it? Anyone can see that you are hesitating," Kawaki said casually as he lay on the roof.
"Ahahahaha, I thought I hid very well."
"So, what exactly is it?" Kawaki sat up and looked at Sakamoto at the same time.
"I've decided I want to go to the universe! Whether we continue to climb the ground or fight with Amanto, we can't see the future at all. While we are making a ruckus, Amanto is still coming to Earth continuously. We can't fight against the trend of history at all. This kind of battle is just wasting the lives of our comrades. I don't want to see any comrades die anymore." Speaking of this, Sakamoto looked at the stars in the sky.
"In the future, if I don't look higher and further, I have to look at the people on Earth, Amanto, and even the stars. So, I want to go to the universe! I want to drive a huge spaceship into the universe to make a "saving", The Fisherman of the Stars; what do you think?"
(PS: The pronunciation of "saving" in Japanese is the same as "fish".)
"If you want to go, go." Kawaki lay down again and said casually.
"You are all amazing men. Why don't you come with me..." Before Sakamoto could finish speaking, Kawaki cut him off.
"I'm sorry. Our goal, or what our eyes see, is only one direction from beginning to end. Go to your battlefield. We will stay on this unremarkable earth."
"Go, go catch the fish you want to catch." Takasugi's voice came. It turned out that Takasugi had been leaning against the wall listening to the conversation between the two.
"You are right. Go to the universe and show your strength. You are not suitable for only catching small fish. Use force to spread the big net in the universe. Be it planets or stars, go fishing more." Gintoki's voice came.
"Go, friend." Everyone said together.
"You..." Sakamoto was moved. Tears and snot gushed out together. Then, he hugged Kawaki, who was at his side, "I will always remember you!"
"Remember your head! You make it sound like we are going to die! And it's so dirty! You bastard! Get up!" Kawaki pulled Sakamoto away in disgust, but he couldn't pull her away no matter what.
After Sakamoto left, the group of five turned back into a group of four people. However, Kawaki didn't know at this time. Soon, the war to save Shouyou was going to end
According to the original plan, Kawaki led a team to stay behind. The other units would retreat under cover of Kawaki and retreat to a safer place.
The enemy's attacks were extremely fierce. Many Amanto and Bakufu's troops continuously attacked the troops led by Kawaki. They attacked wave after wave, and Kawaki did not have time to breathe.
However, in this situation, Kawaki persisted for a full seven days, leaving enough time for a large army to retreat. Kawaki did not know how many enemies he had killed, nor did he want to know how many companions he had lost.
Finally, the enemy's attacks weakened, and Kawaki and his companions finally had a chance to breathe. At this time, Kawaki and his remaining hundred or so companions were resting in a forest.
"Not good! Kawaki-senpai!" A voice sounded.
Hearing this voice, Kawaki instantly got up and looked at the person covered in wounds. This person belonged to the communications corps, who was responsible for running around and communicating between the various teams and was responsible for liaison.
Kawaki asked, "What's wrong?"
"Gintoki-senpai, Takasugi-senpai, Katsura-senpai, they were ambushed at the same time. We can't contact them now!" The soldier wiped his tears and said.
"Don't worry; those guys are not so easy to defeat," Kawaki patted the shoulder of the person in front of him and said.
However, even though Kawaki said this. His heart still trembled slightly, and a sense of unease gushed out.
"All of you single men in the family, leave now. The rest of you, if you want to leave, leave quickly. I will cover for you." Kawaki looked at his exhausted companions and shouted.
"Kawaki-senpai, you can't do this!" Kurokono reminded, "Today is already the fifteenth..."
"Don't worry; I know my own body best. You are also a single male in the family. Go back. This is an order!" As he spoke, Kawaki picked up the blue umbrella without any hesitation and turned around, "Don't think about those heroic sacrifices. Don't let me repeat them. This is an order! Other than the only male in the family, the rest of the people who want to stay will follow me! "
