22, Chapter 22

After some time passed, the time came.

Arasuke stayed in this world for more than three months, and the maximum time limit had been reached and he had to leave. To be honest, he liked this world very much. It would be great if he could come back again.

Arasuke sighed.

Let’s give it a good ending this time, and say goodbye with a smile, Arasuke.

Sakata Gintoki recently noticed that the gods who have always fished for fish began to do something behind their backs, and they hid it tightly so that no one could see it. Just ask and you will know later, but they just don’t want to talk about it anyway.

Sakata Gintoki was drinking and complaining to Granny Toshi, saying that it was difficult to take care of the children when they were older. Both of them hid their little thoughts from the parents, but Granny Toshi just smiled and then took Sakata Gintoki's child with one hand.

He pressed his head into the table and asked him: "Although, when will you pay back the money you owe?"

Sakata Gintoki chose to close the wheat.

Color photos already existed at this time, and Arasuke suddenly suggested while having lunch one day: "Let's take a photo!"

Kagura had a big mouthful of rice in her mouth and asked vaguely: "Photo?"

"Yes!" Arasuke seemed to suddenly remember this matter, "I saw that kind of color photo before, let's take one together too!"

Sakata Gintoki asked casually: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Arasuke bit his chopsticks and thought for a while, then laughed: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered this, go ahead! This is a task given to believers by the gods!"

Shimura Shinpachi thought for a while after packing up his job, and in the background of Kagura clamoring to take pictures of himself as a gangster sister, he said, "Let me think about it, I remember there seems to be such a photo studio over there in my house.

When will we go? Speaking of this, I’m also looking forward to it.”

Arasuke put down the bowl and chopsticks and said excitedly: "It's better to choose a different day. Let's go after Kagura has finished eating!"

"Wait, where is Gin?! As a parent, don't you need to ask Gin for my opinion?!" Sakata Gintoki said in disbelief, and then under the looks of Arasuke, Kagura and Shimura Shinpachi

He compromised and said, "Really, really, Ah Yin won't object!"

They moved really quickly, and Arasuke still didn't react when they left the photo studio.

"What are we going to do next?" Kagura asked Sakata Gintoki holding an umbrella.

Sakata Gintoki shrugged, pointed at Arasuke and said, "Ask Yato, it seems like he has already planned it."

Arasuke chuckled and waved his hand: "Let's go! I'll take you to a fun place!"

Arasuke led the way, moving nimbly through the streets and alleys, as if he was a native born and raised here.

They walked for a while, and Arasuke led them through a forest and arrived at their destination. The destination was a hill. They stood on the top of the mountain, the breeze was blowing, and the scenery was pretty good.

"This is it!"

Arasuke stopped and turned around, opening his arms and speaking to them.

Panting, Shimura Shinpachi opened the last piece of grass and walked out, "What are you doing here... This is it!"

Arasuke clapped his hands gently,——

The sun suddenly disappeared in the sky, the surroundings turned from daytime to darkness, and the moon and countless stars appeared in the sky.

Arasuke turned his back to the sky and faced them, with a brisk smile on his face, and waved his right hand gently.

At that moment, at that moment—

The stars in the sky suddenly flew towards them, and the small light spots seemed to be dancing unknown dances around them, and a siren-like song sounded in their ears. Kagura curiously touched those small light spots, and those small

The light spot seemed a little shy. It rubbed against Kagura's fingertips and then melted into her hand and disappeared. Kagura looked at Arasuke in surprise. At the same time, he felt warm and indescribably good.

Sakata Gintoki could feel that after these light spots penetrated his body, the hidden injuries he had suffered in the battle gradually improved, and his body felt much lighter than before.

Arasuke snapped his fingers: "Farewell gift."

He smiled, and at the same time his body gradually became transparent.

"Thank you very much for your care during this period! I am so lucky to have the company of believers during this last period!"

Arasuke opened his arms to them, "Why don't you give them a hug?"

Sakata Gintoki's expressionless face under the starlight finally had other expressions: "Ah, I've noticed it a long time ago, I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Sakata Gintoki rubbed his messy curly hair and sighed.

"What?! A-Gin, you already knew that Yato was leaving?!" Shimura Shinpachi asked in surprise. He pointed at Arasuke in disbelief, "Even if you are leaving, you will come back, right?! Yes!"

Just say goodbye to us and walk away with your feet! What's the matter with becoming transparent? What kind of parting gift is this? It's obviously a gift before death!!!"

Kagura's umbrella fell to the ground. Fortunately, it was night time, and it didn't matter if the sun was blocked by Arasuke: "I don't want Yato to leave! Didn't we agree that we would also go to the summer festival next year?

Is that?! I just took the photo, why are you leaving now?"

Arasuke smiled helplessly: "Kagura-chan, there is no other way. There is no time, Gintoki, you know that, right?"

Sakata Gintoki nodded silently.

Arasuke's figure becomes more and more transparent, and the starlight behind him becomes more and more shining.

Of course, these things are not what Arasuke's current body can do. He borrowed some things from the technical department before so that he could prepare this parting gift. As a consequence of temporary expenses, it will have some bad effects on the body in the next world.

Impact. But it’s not a big problem. At most, it’s just a little bad for your health.

Arasuke thought indifferently, and the smile on his face grew wider.

"Goodbye!"

Never see you again.

"You must always remember me, right? As long as you can remember me, maybe I will appear next to you again! After all, gods live by faith!"

Will not.

"Finally, won't you give me a smile?"

Just smile, this is a good ending.

"Say goodbye with a smile, my followers."

The god who had lost everything was supposed to leave, so there was nothing surprising. It would be better to say that the experiences he had experienced in the past few months were gifts from the goddess of fate.

"May we meet again."

They embraced each other under the stars.

Three goldfish from the festival were swimming in the glass tank on the corner of the table, blowing bubbles carefree. Photos of the four of them were in the photo frame, with Sakata Gintoki and Shimura Shinpachi standing on the left and right, Kagura and

Arasuke stood between them.

In the photo, Sakata Gintoki is smiling, with one hand in his pocket, and the other stretched out on the shoulders of Kagura and Arasuke. Kagura is holding Arasuke's arm, with one leg slightly tilted back, smiling.

Brilliant, Shimura Shinpachi put one hand on Arasuke's shoulder, pushed up his glasses with the other, and looked at the camera in front of him with a somewhat embarrassed look.

But between them, the place where Kiyoki Aransuke should have been standing was blank, like...

He is like a ghost that does not exist in the world and no one can see him.

His figure is not seen, his appearance is not remembered, and his words are not heard.

Everything he has experienced and the traces of his life are being erased bit by bit.

Only this photo and the handmade shrine can prove that a god named "Yado" appeared in their lives.

There are traces of paintbrush smearing on the photo frame, as if someone drew a small figure on it to fill in the blank space, but finally gave up.

Under the photo frame is a small piece of paper, the one that was placed with Yumori during the festival. On it is Shimura Shinpachi's handwriting:

"Remember to wear the royal guard. My sister and I specially went to ask for it. I heard it is very effective! Let's go together this time next year!"

Autumn is here, the wind blows with a burst of floral fragrance, and petals fall on the table.
Chapter completed!
