Chapter 6: 2 Idiots, No, 4 Idiots Now!

Chapter 6: 2 Idiots, No, 4 Idiots Now!

It was already completely dark. Katsura, who was walking on the street, suddenly stopped and looked up in a specific direction.

"It's a nice view; idiots are flying in the sky." Katsura looked at Takasugi, hanging on the tree through the wall.

"Well, it's really a good view; you can look down on idiots," Takasugi replied without any hesitation.

"So, what are you going to do next?" Katsura leaned against the wall and asked with his back to Takasugi.

"What else can I do?" Takasugi's tone was full of indifference, "He said that if I dare to go there again, he will cut off our relationship."

"So that's how it is. Your father can't stand the rumors outside."

Katsura lowered his head and continued, "[Shoka Sonjuku]. Recently, it is rumored that the children nearby are gathered here to carry out suspicious teaching activities in order to criticize the government and subvert the country. "

'If they each carry their own bushido in their hearts, they can each become their own samurai.'

Takasugi could not help but think of what Shouyou had said to him and could not help but snort, "That's not right. If all the Samurai in the world can become what he said, this country will eat a Jujube."

"Maybe, but..." As he spoke, Katsura's expression softened, "I won't feel tired when I get along with them. I always felt that the Samurai is a boring existence bound by all kinds of things. Even if I really want to be a Samurai, I... want to be such a free Samurai."

The next day.

Takasugi stood outside the Shoka Sonjuku. His eyes looking at Shouyou, who was giving a lecture to the students, has a trace of yearning.

"The rumors are true."

The one who spoke was the child who had been used as a stepping stone by Gintoki and Kawaki. "I said that you haven't been seen in the private school recently. I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with this strange private school. Takasugi, you are finally going to be expelled from the school."

After the child finished speaking, he stopped with a group of companions and looked at Takasugi with schadenfreude.

When Takasugi heard the voice, he turned around and looked at the people who came with a calm faces. But he did not say anything.

"Unfortunately, this private school is going to be destroyed tonight!"

The child continued to gloat, "I have told father all the rumors about this private school. This time, the officials made a move. No matter how lucky the man is, he has to be driven away or thrown into prison!"

"What kind of private school does a ronin of unknown origin run? if we don't know his identity, he might be fooling us and end our Samurai path!" Another child said fiercely at the same time.

"Takasugi, don't think about becoming a Samurai anymore." When the leading child finished speaking and was about to leave with everyone.

"Wait a minute." Takasugi finally spoke.

"Hmm? Do you want me to be generous and let go of that private school? If you kneel in front of me and lick my shoes now, I can consider asking my father to plead for that private school." The leader stopped, then turned his head and said arrogantly.

"I just want to say that I'll wait for you at the shrine. If you have the guts, come." Takasugi said calmly.

"I also don't remember when I gave you something called a favor." Kawaki's voice sounded at the same time.

Takasugi and Katsura looked at Kawaki and Gintoki, who came out from a dark corner in disbelief.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to run away quickly?" Katsura's words carried a trace of anxiety and reproach.

"Shouldn't we have Shouyou escape quickly? Why do I have to run with him?" Gintoki held a wooden sword in one hand and dug his nostrils with the other. He continued indifferently, "Moreover, the two of you have already learned from skipping class to wandering at night. You are already considered outstanding students of our school."

"I haven't eaten enough of the braised meat made by Pretty Sister. At least let me finish this last bowl!" Kawaki said as he took out a pot from behind him, "Only, this time is special. Let's eat together later."

"Are you an idiot?! What are you doing with braised pork when you come out to fight?! Do you want to replenish your physical strength at any time?!" Gintoki complained loudly.

"I can deal with an enemy like that in one shot. If it doesn't work, I will shoot a few more times!" Kawaki said as he gestured with his umbrella and pretended to shoot using the umbrella's tip.

"What are you doing with such a weapon! Are you still a Samurai? This is absolutely against the rules!" Gintoki continued to ridicule, "What's with your proud eyes? Are you showing off that your weapon is better than mine? Besides, what is the principle of your umbrella? Don't you need to replenish bullets?"

"Yo, put the braised meat here first. Let's eat it after we finish our mission." Kawaki put down the pot in his hand and jumped onto the wall next to him.

Then Kawaki lay down and held the umbrella in his hand like a sniper rifle. He looked at the young men holding lanterns not far away, "The target has entered the range. Sir, do you want to shoot? Over."

"Over your head! Who is the commander? You are getting more and more excited!" Gintoki looked at Kawaki, who winked at him and gave him a thumbs-up.

"I don't know what to say. With the two of you involved, I don't feel nervous at all." Katsura shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"Ah, isn't that so? I didn't expect that one day, I, Takasugi, would also be reduced to being classmates with these two idiots." Takasugi also said.

"I just want to say, leave the rest to the two of us. The two of you should withdraw your hands as soon as possible. In any case, we and Shouyou just drifted here. We can live all over the world without a fixed place." Gintoki suddenly became serious, "The two of you are different. If you get involved with us again, you won't be able to clean up. Do you two want to be stripped of your status?"

As he spoke, Gintoki had already walked past Katsura and Takasugi.

At the same time, Kawaki no longer played tricks. He flipped down from the wall and stood beside Gintoki, "Gintoki's words are also what I want to say. The two of you go back quickly."

"If I had a home, I wouldn't have come to this kind of place from the beginning." Takasugi also walked to Gintoki's side.

"I was an orphan after my grandmother passed away." At the same time, Katsura also walked to the three people, "The most important thing is that I don't think the title Scholar is necessary anymore."

"If there is such a thing, it is not given by others." Takasugi continued.

Takasugi/ Katsura, "You have to find out with your own eyes! / Master it with your own hands! "

With that, the two of them drew their wooden sword simultaneously.

"If that's the case, then I won't say anything more." When Gintoki heard this, he also changed from his previous laziness.

"Then, now, let us look forward to the delicious braised pork later!" Kawaki carried his umbrella and licked his lips.
