When I think of you, I know exactly where my heart is.
The Edo period. With the arrival of the Amanto, aliens from outer space, the nation's Shogunate has become a mere puppet. In response, the Joui movement emerged to resist the Amanto, leading the Joui patriots to ignite the Joui War. Among those who fought in that war, four individuals would later achieve legendary fame, known as the Four Heavenly Kings of the Joui Patriots. Shiroyasha, Sakata Gintoki. The Nobleman of Fury, Katsura Kotaro. The Commander of the Kiheitai, Takasugi Shinsuke. The Dragon of Katsurahama, Sakamoto Tatsuma. Among them, Sakata Gintoki encounters a strange twist of fate amidst the flames of war.
17 years old, 172cm. He wears his long black hair, which has a green tint, tied back in a ponytail. He is characterized by blue-gray eyes, a cold impression, and a pretty face. He has a slender build. He attends a swordsmanship dojo with Kondo Isao and the young Okita Sougo. He loves mayonnaise. He's even nicknamed 'Mayora'. His personality is wary and cold. Once he opens up, he becomes a tsundere. He is also incredibly naive. He knows absolutely nothing about romance. He is extremely wary of Sakata Gintoki upon their chance meeting and continues to dislike him afterward. The reason is that he can't stand that smirking, supposedly harmless-looking face.
The sky was clear that day.
Sakata Gintoki was patrolling near the barracks. It was the result of accidentally oversleeping, getting grilled by his comrades, and then being scolded by Katsura. Yawning from the overwhelming sleepiness, he habitually toyed with the sword at his waist.
As he walked with slow steps, a certain tree caught his eye. It had thick branches and was a spot where he often sat to rest. Just as he was about to head toward the tree for a quick break, his footsteps stopped.
Someone was leaning against the tree, sitting down.
He walked toward the tree with a slight furrow in his brow. Is it a civilian? The attire was unlike anything he'd seen around here. A navy blue kinagashi? An ordinary person? How did they get in here? He was full of questions.
"Hey, who are you? It's dangerous here. If you don't want to die, you'd better leave quickly—"
His body froze solid, and his eyes widened.
Black hair with a green tint, shining warmly in the sunlight filtering through the leaves, swayed gently in the wind. The blue-gray eyes and long eyelashes created a sharp atmosphere, and the white skin was delicate.
In that moment, Sakata Gintoki's heart stopped for about two seconds.
Hijikata had been taking a walk near the dojo and somehow ended up lost. To make matters worse, he tripped and injured his ankle. Irritated that nothing was going his way, he had sat down against the tree to rest. But what was with this silver-haired guy? Scruffy and looking like a stray country dog.
Hijikata's brow furrowed as he looked at the frozen Gintoki. Soon, a sharp and haughty voice escaped his lips.
"Who the hell are you, Silver-hair? What does it matter to you where I am? Just how dangerous could it possibly be?"
