My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"……It's you?"

Sakata Gintoki, who was driving a small electric car, still glanced at Hijikata Toshiro with his dead fish eyes half open, casually took out a bag of super spicy senbei from his arms, threw it to Hijikata Toshiro, and shouted loudly.

"Don't worry! I'm just here to buy some senbei. Just help me deliver them to her! That way, she'll be happy too!"

While shouting, Sakata Gintoki pulled out the wooden sword Toyako and inserted it into the wheel of the car, blocking the rear wheel of the speeding car.

A car with a stuck rear wheel had difficulty maintaining a straight line and began to turn erratically.

Hearing Sakata Gintoki's shout, Hijikata Jushiro was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked forward. He saw in the distance in front of the car, the expressionless chestnut-haired boy, Okita Sougo, the captain of the Shinsengumi's First Division, was slightly bending over and making the starting posture of the sword-drawing slash in kendo.

Hijikata Toshiro instantly understood what Okita Sougo was going to do, and he drew out his samurai sword without hesitation. He ignored the screams coming from the car again, jumped out of the speeding car, and used the samurai sword to jam the rear wheel on the other side, slowing down the speed of the speeding car again.

"hateful!"

Covering his shoulder with a ferocious expression, Kuraba Touma looked at Okita Sougo who was standing right in front of the car and shouted orders to the driver.

"Step on the gas! Increase the speed to maximum! Smash him down in one go!"

Bah!

Before the driver, who also had a ferocious expression, could step on the accelerator, a cold light flashed and a big hole was smashed in the front windshield of the car by something. Then, something flashing with cold light pierced the driver's heart and directly pierced the abdomen of Zang Chang Dang Ma in the back seat, nailing Zang Chang Dang Ma to the back seat.

puff!

"Uh!"

Kurama, whose abdomen was pierced, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

It was a sharp long sword that flashed with a cold light.

The trusted driver who died on the spot naturally could not step on the accelerator anymore. As both rear wheels were unable to move, the front of the car, which was moving forward by inertia, was lifted up high, flipping over the car chassis.

Quietly watching the car crashing towards him, Okita Sougo's thoughts unexpectedly went back to the past when he said goodbye to his sister and went to Kyoto with his friends from the dojo.

The same was true for Hijikata Toshiro, who was desperately trying to hold the rear wheel of the car. The gentle words spoken by the gentle chestnut-haired girl in the distant past once again echoed in the minds of Okita Sougo and Hijikata Toshiro.

...You left me and left me, but you can't be indecisive.

Please stick to your own path.

Of course, of course...

The samurai sword was unsheathed, drawn and slashed, and the sharp blade cut through the air.

Then, the cold light of the blade swept across the car body.

Kara...

A teeth-grinding sound of metal tearing was heard, and the car with its front end raised high was split into two halves from the middle. It continued to slide forward for a short distance by inertia, and then.

boom! ! !

The car that was cut in half by the sword suddenly exploded violently!

In a violent explosion, something is thrown away from the center of the explosion due to the explosion.

Standing not far away, Hijikata Toshiro looked at the burning wreckage of the car after the violent explosion, silently took out a cigarette and lit it.

Something flew out from the violent explosion, spun in the dark night sky, and landed on the back of a nearby container.

Before it fell to the ground along its parabola, a white, soft little hand caught it in mid-air.

Holding the long sword thrown out from the violent explosion, which was thinner and longer than the average samurai sword, the petite black-haired girl Shana breathed a sigh of relief, casually put her Heavenly Fire Sword back into the scabbard, and turned to leave.

A few minutes later, at Oedo Hospital.

After arresting the remnants of the radical anti-foreigner ronin and the remnants of Kuraba Touma's "Tenkaiya" as quickly as possible, the Shinsengumi drove to Edo University Hospital at high speed.

Just as everyone got off the car and ran up several floors, the Shinsengumi members happened to bump into doctors and nurses who pushed open the door and walked out of the operating room.

The balding doctor glanced at the Shinsengumi members, including Kondo Isao, Hijikata Toshiro, and Okita Sougo, who were still breathing heavily, and said nothing, but just shook his head silently.

Volume 4: Edo Chronicles: Chapter 225: Captured Happiness

Seeing the doctor shaking his head silently, all the Shinsengumi members present also lowered their heads silently, and no one spoke.

In the intensive care unit.

"Sister, I'm sorry..."

Standing beside the bed, looking at his sister lying on the bed with a pale face, Okita Sougo forced himself to apologize to his sister in a calm tone.

"I'm such a useless brother."

"In the end, I was the one who took away my sister's happiness..."

At this point, Okita Sougo, unable to control his surging emotions any longer, knelt beside his sister's bed and lowered his head in pain.

"sorry Sorry……"

Looking at her brother who was so guilty and in pain, Okita Mitsuha showed her usual gentle smile, reluctantly raised her hand, and gently stroked her brother's face.

Feeling the familiar touch, Okita Sougo was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw his sister with a familiar gentle smile.

"Xiao Zong, it's okay."

Stroking her brother's face, Okita Mitsuha still had a gentle smile on her face and spoke softly.

"You've worked very hard and have become an outstanding man. You've really become strong."

"Sister, I'm not strong..."

Hearing his sister's gentle comfort, Okita Sougo reluctantly wanted to refute, but he was already choked with sobs.

"me……"

"You can't look back. You've already made up your mind. From that moment on, that was the path you chose. So, there's no need to apologize... and you can't cry easily..."

"Don't hesitate, look into the distance... keep going..."

"I like the backs of you. You're reckless, useless, yet fearless..."

Having said that, Okita Mitsuha, who was already on the verge of death, showed the most beautiful and yearning smile.

"But, you are so kind, I love you the most. So... I... am... really... very happy..."

"I'm so happy to meet such outstanding people like you, and to have such an outstanding brother like you..."

The soft hands that were supporting Okita Sougo's face slowly dropped down, and the frightened Okita Sougo, as if trying to grab something that was about to be lost, held his sister's hands tightly with his own hands.

"Xiao Zong...you are...my...most proud brother..."

Looking at the chestnut-haired woman who quietly closed her eyes, Okita Sougo opened his mouth with a sob, but in the end he just held his sister's hand tightly, letting her hand still stroke his face, feeling the weak life gradually disappear from his sister's fragile body, tears streaming down his face.

In the corridor outside the intensive care unit.

Through the transparent ward window, Sakata Gintoki silently watched the Shinsengumi members in the intensive care unit, tears streaming down their faces, suppressing their pain and sobbing as they bid farewell to Miss Mitsuha.

"...No matter how many times I see this, I'm still not used to seeing this kind of scene."

The owner of the Yorozuya shop was silent for a while, then he sighed, turned his head, and asked slowly in an unbearable tone to the equally silent young man with gray hair next to him.

　"...Is there really no other way, Shang Jun?"

Sakata Gintoki, who rarely called the young man with gray hair by his name, knew that for this extremely mysterious young businessman next to him who was familiar with the technology of the celestial beings on various planets in the universe, serious illnesses that the doctors in Edo could not treat might not be untreatable in the universe.

"……do not know."

However, the young man with gray hair who had also been silent gave Sakata Gintoki a strange answer.

Before the confused Sakata Gintoki could react, the young man with gray hair slowly explained again.

“…I don’t know if that thing can catch up.”

"...?!"

Hearing this, the silver-haired, naturally curly-haired owner of the Yorozuya shop looked at the young businessman in surprise.

"You mean..."

"...Please don't get your hopes up too much."

Without waiting for Sakata Gintoki to finish his surprised words, Shang Yang calmly interrupted Sakata Gintoki's speech.

"That thing, although it may be able to cure Miss Sanye, I'm not sure whether it will still be useful given Miss Sanye's current condition..."

"Shang Yang!"

At this moment, accompanied by a clear shout, the elevator door dinged open, and a petite black-haired girl rushed out of the elevator, raising her fair arms, her slender white hands holding a tube of thick liquid that was shining brightly in light green.

"It's been delivered from Edo Port!"

"Pretty!"

After praising loudly, under the stunned gaze of Sakata Gintoki, the young man with gray hair took the bright light green tube of liquid from the petite black-haired girl in three or two steps, and pushed open the door of the intensive care unit sideways.

The owner of the Yorozuya shop reacted quickly and rushed into the intensive care unit.

"Get out of the way!"

Sakata Gintoki shouted loudly as he pushed aside the Shinsengumi members who were stunned by the sudden situation and blocked his way.

"The medicine that might save Miss Mitsuha has arrived!"

Hearing this, the shocked Shinsengumi members subconsciously made way for Sakata Gintoki and Shang Yang, allowing the two to quickly rush to the bedside.

Then, under the bewildered and surprised gaze of Okita Sougo, who was stunned by the unexpected news, the petite black-haired girl Miss Shana, who also rushed into the ward, gently helped up the already exhausted and pale Okita Mitsuha, and Shang Yang, who was standing beside her, carefully put a tube of bright light green thick liquid that had been unscrewed into the mouth of Okita Mitsuha, who had already fallen into a coma.

All the Shinsengumi members present held their breath and watched in shock and confusion as Shang Yang slowly fed Miss Mitsuha the mysterious medicine that was said to be able to save her.

Although most of the Shinsengumi members had never seen the two strange young men and girls beside the bed, out of trust in the upright Yorozuya owner Gintoki Sakata, who often dealt with the Shinsengumi, the Shinsengumi members present also chose to trust the strange young men and girls brought into the ward by Gintoki Sakata.

Besides, there is no other way now.

After quietly waiting for the gray-haired young man to give Miss Mitsuha the mysterious potion, Shinsengumi Director Kondo Isao asked in a deep voice.

"……What's this?"

"Altana Healing Potion."

Shang Yang slowly explained as he gave the unconscious Okita Mitsuha a tube of bright light green thick potion.

"This is a universal healing potion created by the Celestials, using the essence of Altana, the mysterious energy that Earthlings call the Dragon Vein. It's said to be able to cure any disease."

"Because the technical requirements for extracting Altana are extremely demanding, this life-saving elixir is little known even among the Celestials, and is extremely rare in the entire universe."

"However, I have never used this kind of medicine before, so it is hard to say whether everything will go smoothly."

Hearing Shang Yang's uncertain words, all the Shinsengumi members in the intensive care unit held their breath and looked anxiously at the chestnut-haired woman lying on the hospital bed, still in a coma.

Okita Sougo was even more worried and held his sister's hand tightly, staring at her pale face motionlessly.

After taking this tube of bright, light green, thick liquid, the medicinal essence of "Altana Healing Agent" slowly seeped into Okita Mitsuha's exhausted internal organs, revitalizing the exhausted and dying cells. The mysterious energy of "Altana" that could influence the laws of biology slowly enveloped the virus that was wreaking havoc in Okita Mitsuha's body.

At the same time, the huge vitality contained in the "Altana" energy also slowly flowed into Okita Mitsuha's body, and continued to circulate in Okita Mitsuha's body along the large and small blood vessels that had regained their normal flow, nourishing Okita Mitsuha's extremely weak body.

Okita Mitsuha's face, which was originally extremely pale, gradually turned a little rosy.

Seeing this process, hope gradually filled the eyes of everyone present.

Because Okita Mitsuha's physical condition was so bad, even with the powerful effect of the "Altana Healing Potion", she could only recover bit by bit.

At the same time, Shang Yang also slowly infiltrated the magic power that ordinary people could hardly see into Okita Mitsuha's body, carefully guiding the medicinal essence of the "Altana Healing Agent" to prevent its powerful medicinal power from causing irreparable damage to Okita Mitsuha's weak body. At the same time, Shang Yang also needed to restrain his terrible magic power.

If you are not careful, Shang Yang's terrifying and sharp magic power can directly send Okita Mitsuha to the pure land on the other side.

A few minutes later, Okita Sougo, who had been full of anticipation and worry, was extremely surprised to see that his sister, who was originally angry with You Ruosi, slowly opened her eyes again, revealing a strange expression of confusion.

"Hmm... strange... my body feels so light..."

"elder sister!"

With a cry of surprise, the chestnut-haired boy rushed forward and knelt down beside his sister's bed again. He grabbed his sister's hand, feeling the warmth of her soft palm, and finally confirmed the fact.

Sakata Gintoki, who had also been watching all this, immediately went out to find a doctor.

After a while, extremely surprised doctors and nurses ran into the intensive care unit. The intensive care unit, which was not large to begin with, was instantly crowded with excited people waiting for the doctor's conclusion.

"Incredible, incredible! This is an unbelievable miracle!"

After completing the emergency examination, the bald doctor made his conclusion with trembling lips.

"The patient's vital signs are returning to normal, the virus that caused the disease is dying in droves, and even more incredible, the patient's previously failing organs are slowly regaining vitality! The patient is continuing to recover!"

After hearing the doctor's conclusion, all the members of the Shinsengumi were stunned for a moment, and then burst into unparalleled loud cheers!
