The So-Called Life Is Like Soap Bubbles... (Firefighter Tatsumi, End.)

"You should know better than anyone how terrifying this is!" As he spoke, the bald uncle's tone became much calmer, "What a firefighter has to face is not just fire. The ashes that have been burned will be carried on this back, and the dead companions or people that can not be saved. My back is already covered in dust. Do you think that you can carry all of this with your thin and weak body?"

At this time, even the three people who had been fooling around on the side stopped and listened to the conversation between the two thoughtfully.

"Are you... still talking about my parents..."

Without waiting for Tatsumi to finish, the bald uncle said again, "I feel like I killed your parents. If even you are dead, I..."

"What are you talking about! Baldy!" Tatsumi retorted, "Dad and Mom died in the fire. That is not your fault at all! Compared to those, didn't you save me? Didn't you already raise me up so big?"

"What's wrong with me wanting to repay you? Is there anything wrong with wanting to help you?" At this moment, Tatsumi was extremely excited, as if he had said everything he wanted to say in his heart.

"Hmph, I raised you not because of love or anything, but because I was atoning for my sins of not helping your parents!"

At this time, everyone who had been listening finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

When Tatsumi was young, a fire broke out at her home. Other than herself being rescued by this bald uncle, the rest of her family was buried in the sea of fire. And this bald uncle raised Tatsumi, who had lost her family...

"Then you won't have a reason to continue being a firefighter, right? If you understand, go find a man and live a good woman's life!" The bald uncle finished speaking and prepared to leave.

Shinpachi, who had been listening to all this time, could not help but want to say something. But Kondo and Gintoki covered Shinpachi's mouth at the same time. Kagura was the same, Kawaki also covered her mouth.

"Little uncle..." Kagura turned her head and whispered, but Kawaki just shook his head and said nothing.

Whether it was Gintoki, Kondo, or Kawaki, they all understood that although the bald uncle's words came from the bottom of his heart. It was also a test in a certain sense. If Tatsumi gave up becoming a firefighter because of these words, then...

But at this moment, a slightly sharp voice of a man came, "Hey, are you guys having a party here? Would you like to bring me along?"

"What nonsense are you saying..." Gintoki said impatiently and looked over. However, when everyone looked over, they found that the fire had already spread. Everyone suddenly understood that the man with glasses and stubble with a face full of malicious intent was the arsonist!

"What kind of classification is there for garbage? It's really too troublesome!" The bespectacled man laughed strangely and poured all the gasoline in his hand onto the fire, "In fact, garbage can be burned as long as it is lit up! As long as all the garbage is burned!"

After saying that, the glasses man ran out of the alley without looking back.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Gintoki wanted to catch up, but the fire was too big. It traps everyone in the alley.

"Get out of the way!" Tatsumi roared as she picked up the fire extinguisher she had prepared and sprayed it at the burning garbage in front of them.

After a while.

The fire in front of everyone was extinguished.

"Leave the arsonist to the police!" Kondo glanced at Tatsumi and rushed out of the alley.

"We can't just let the cops show off!" Gintoki said as he rushed out.

...

"Hey, it's burning here too," Kawaki pointed to the wall that was caught by the fire just now, "Don't be stunned. Didn't you just say that you were going to be the number one firefighter in Edo? Isn't this your job?"

"It's over! It's all burning!" At this time, Tatsumi finally discovered the current fire situation. She then rushed out quickly and shout at the pedestrians on the road, "Hey! It's on fire! Everyone, hurry up! It's on fire! "

"The two of you, go and help evacuate the crowd," Kawaki said to Shinpachi and Kagura.

"Okay!" The two of them responded and quickly rushed out.

"You..." The bald uncle looked at Kawaki and murmured.

"Don't say anything. I believe that the child will prove herself with her actions." Kawaki said as he walked out of the alley, "When the time comes, you can go and scold her. By the way, I will help you notify that ME Team or something."

...

"Hey, grandpa! Your house is on fire! Hurry up and escape!" Tatsumi shouted at the grandpa who was blowing bubbles on the second floor.

"Hey? Hit the wall with cake as much as you like?" the old man wondered, "Okay, I see."

"No, you don't understand at all!" Tatsumi shouted, "Are you wearing an earplug?!"

"Yes, yes, my heart is burning for the love that has been chasing me." The old grandpa replied unhurriedly before saying with some emotion, "I want to follow you~ Yoko~"

"I do not know what you are saying!" Tatsumi rolled her eyes and roared, "Your house has already started burning! Can't you see the thick smoke? You stinky old man!"

"Who are you calling a stinky old man! Be careful that I will kill you!"

"Why do you hear me so clearly when I say bad things about you!" Just as Tatsumi finished complaining, she heard a loud explosion, "Oh no! I have to go up and save him! If this goes on, there will be no end!"

As he spoke, Tatsumi directly rushed into the house, and the bald uncle who had just come out of the alley also rushed in. He shouted at Tatsumi, "Wait! Tatsumi! This old man will go save him, you go and evacuate the crowd! Someone has gone to notify the ME Team!"

As he shouted, the bald uncle had already caught up with Tatsumi.

"So long-winded! I don't want to listen to you! You baldy, get out of the way!" Tatsumi retorted while rushing to the second floor.

"Who would get out of the way!" The bald uncle retorted, "Although I am bald, I will not run away! I am an enhanced version of baldness!"

At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger. The whole house was full of smoke. Because it's a wooden structure. The fire spread very fast.

"Not good, the fire is getting bigger and bigger!" The bald uncle came to the second floor and looked at Tatsumi who was trying to push the door open.

"What's going on... Why can't I open it..." Tatsumi said as she pushed the door open. Just as she finished speaking, she saw the door open from the inside.

The old man blew bubbles on Tatsumi's face.

"Old man! What are you doing! Didn't I tell you that this place is on fire?" Tatsumi roared.

"I won't go to the retirement welfare home! I will give you trouble for the rest of my life!" The old man closed the door and locked it from the inside.

"What the hell are you talking about! Damn it. It's like preaching to a donkey!"

"Who are you calling a donkey!" The old man's voice came.

"Hurry up and open the door, you stinking old man!" Tatsumi roared and slammed directly into the door. The door was knocked down.

However, the ceiling smashed down.

"Are you an idiot?" The bald uncle roared and rushed forward to push away Tatsumi, who could not dodge in time.

At the same time, Kawaki and ME Team members also arrived at the scene of the fire.

"Hey, Shinpachi, Kagura, where are those two people?" Kawaki asked Shinpachi and Kagura who were standing in the same place.

"Those two people seem to have rushed in-aru. There seems to be an old man inside who has not escaped." Kagura replied.

Just as Kagura finished speaking, Gintoki and Kondo brought the tightly bound arsonist back to the scene.

...

"Tatsumi, don't waste your effort," Looking at Tatsumi who was trying to move the thick ceiling on his body, the bald uncle shouted, "A firefighter of your level should know what the most priority is! If you hesitate, you can't save anyone who can be saved! You don't know what a firefighter represents!"

"Noisy!" Tatsumi retorted, "Indeed, I want to work as a firefighter because I live with you. I do want to repay your kindness, but... not because of that. At that time, you saved me, so I also want to save others! So, no matter what you say, I will do what I like!"

"What a stubborn woman," The bald uncle looked at Tatsumi, who was still moving the thick ceiling on his body, and his expression became much gentler, "I also want you to live. That's right, just like I said. The first time I adopted you, it was indeed to atone for my sins. However, I don't know when it started. Rather than saying that I was atoning for my sins, it was more because I felt too happy to live with you. I had watched people die in front of me countless times and felt my powerlessness."

"I am drifting in the wind, like a soap bubble. I feel like I am going to break at any time. But, it is because you are here that I did not break. If you break, I will definitely not be able to hold on, right?" As he spoke, the bald uncle thought of every day in Tatsumi's growth...

"On the back that only carries ashes, the only one who makes me feel that I still have a family that is connected by blood is only you. So, run! Tatsumi! I don't want to carry my daughter's ashes!"

"What a stupid uncle..." Tatsumi stood up, walked to the old man who was still blowing bubbles, and carried him on her back, "I don't want to carry my father's ashes to, idiot. So, wait for me, I will come back to save you immediately! Dad!"

After that, Tatsumi rushed downstairs with the old man on her back.

At this time, the bald uncle finally couldn't hold on anymore. Looking at the soap and straw left by the old man on the ground not far away from him. He tried to reach it, but he couldn't reach it no matter what...

"Life is like soap bubbles. When the wind blows, it flies up into the sky. When I notice it, it disappears with a bang. At the moment when it is about to break, I want to fly higher. But when I come back to my senses, it is always too late... Sorry... Tatsumi... But, I have already flown high enough, right?"

"What nonsense are you saying?" Kawaki's voice came. At the same time, the wall of the second floor was smashed by Gintoki and Kawaki at the same time. Then, the two appeared in front of the bald uncle.

"I said, when you changed from bald uncle to bald daddy, you have already evolved from soap bubbles to rubber balls," Gintoki bent down and pressed his hands against the ceiling in the bald uncle, "You should know that daughters are the most difficult to raise!"

As he spoke, Gintoki forcefully lifted the ceiling up. Seeing this, Kawaki hurriedly pulled the bald uncle out.

"You should be careful that your daughter will be entangled by this silver-haired natural curly man." Kawaki dragged the bald uncle and reminded him at the same time, "If my daughter finds such a man, tsk tsk tsk..."

"She dares!!" The bald uncle shouted without hesitation.

"Hahahaha," Kawaki could not help but laugh, "Looks like the soap bubble has really evolved completely... Hahahaha..."

...

Looking at the three people who jumped down, Tatsumi hurriedly rushed over and took the bald uncle.

"Hey, you brat, if you dare to have any thoughts about my daughter..." The bald uncle turned his head and said fiercely to Gintoki. His momentum was indeed extremely terrifying.

"What are you talking about! You stinky baldy!" Gintoki shouted, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved you!"

"Gintoki, at that time, I clearly saw you riding on her..." Kawaki was always a person who would watch the show and wouldn't think that it was a big deal.

"What did you say?" The bald uncle instantly exploded. Leaving Tatsumi aside, he charged at Gintoki with a set of combination punches...

"No! It's just riding on the trash can that she curled up!" Gintoki retorted as he resisted the bald uncle's fist.

"You might as well not explain..." Kawaki complained.

...

Finally, under Tatsumi's explanation, the bald uncle finally believed that it was a misunderstanding.

Of course, Gintoki had already been beaten into a pig's head.

"Listen up, Tatsumi!" The bald uncle was still a little worried. He earnestly said, "In the future, when you find a man. You must keep your eyes open! Otherwise, your life after marriage will be like a soap bubble. You don't know when it will break apart!"

"You are too long-winded!" Tatsumi retorted, "It's too early to think about this kind of thing! I just called you Dad! You entered the role too quickly!"

"What did you say! You stinking lass!"

...

The two of them started arguing again.

However, the members of the ME Team by the side all laughed...
