Chapter 173: Young Man, Protect Your [Rhinoceros]!
"Beetle hunting time!!!"
Kagura was wearing a straw hat from the studio next door. There was a green plastic box on her shoulder. His right hand was on her waist, and her left hand was holding a long net that needed to be used to capture insects. She stood in front of Yorozuya's sofa and shouted with a serious face.
However, whether it was Gintoki, who was lying on the sofa with a Jump covering his face, or Shinpachi, who was reading the newspaper on the other sofa, there was no reaction.
Seeing this, the girl shouted again, "Beetle hunting time!"
After a full ten seconds, Gintoki and Shinpachi still did not have any reaction.
The young girl finally could not bear it anymore and rushed to Gintoki. She took off the Jump that covered Gintoki's face and shouted into Gintoki's ears, "Bettle hunting time!!!"
"So noisy!" Gintoki pushed Kagura away and scolded her. Then he sat up with his hand on his forehead and said, "What the hell are you doing? You have been roaring since just now."
Kagura stood up again and looked energetic, "I plan to go beetle hunting right now. What do you think?"
"What do I think? You can go by yourself." Shinpachi casually said without raising his head.
However, just as he finished speaking, he was met with a furious slap, "This isn't a matter of just going!"
Shinpachi had a nosebleed, and his glasses shattered as he fell to the ground...
"Listen to me..." Kagura stood up again, covered her eyes, and sobbed, "I can't stand it anymore-aru... My cute Sadaharu No. 28 was actually killed by that hateful bastard."
As she spoke, Kagura blew her nose. Taking advantage of the fact that Gintoki was not paying attention and just watching the TV, she secretly wiped all the snot on Gintoki's clothes.
"Also... even Akebono-X was defeated. Everyone was defeated-aru." After wiping her snot, Kagura continued to sob, "Hey? Are you listening?"
"Ah, I'm listening, I'm listening," Gintoki replied casually, staring at the long legs of the young lady on the TV in front of him.
"So, I want to take revenge for everyone-aru!" Kagura wiped her tears and said seriously. Then she looked at Gintoki again, "Hey, are you really listening?"
"Yes, I'm listening, I'm listening."
Kagura revealed a look of anger and injustice. She gritted her teeth and said, "And then, I want to catch a big and strong beetle to beat that guy Xmaru... Eh? Hmaru? Is it that the one? Eh? Which one is it?"
"Yes, I'm listening, listening." Gintoki casually replied once again.
"In short, I want to defeat his beetle-aru, who is called [HXmaru]!" Kagura looked at Gintoki with a pleading expression, "So! Please teach me the skills of catching beetles!"
"The rhinoceros beetle boom is back, huh? The times are always repeating over and over again..." Gintoki stared at the TV with his dead fish eyes, watching the report about the rhinoceros beetle, and casually said.
"It seems to be very popular to play rhinoceros beetle to do sumo recently." Shinpachi, who was sitting on the other sofa, finally stopped his nosebleed and raised his head to interrupt.
"Hey, quickly teach me." Kagura looked at Gintoki and reminded him again.
"Yes, I'm listening." Gintoki tried to fool her again.
"Not just for you to listen, but for you to teach me, bastard!" Kagura replied.
"Ah?" Gintoki turned his head and continued, "That's it. I think it's more suitable for Akebono to switch to pro wrestling..."
Without waiting for Gintoki to finish speaking, the young girl could no longer bear it. Accompanied by the young girl's roar, she punched Gintoki in the face, "You are not listening at all!"
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, just come with me! I want to catch beetle no matter what-aru!" Kagura put away her fist and said with full vitality again.
"Don't joke around..." Gintoki covered his nose that was constantly spurting blood and shouted, "You're already so old; why do you still insist on catching beetle... Go and study..."
But suddenly, Gintoki had a flash of inspiration and continued, "Wait a minute... Although I don't know the skills in catching beetle, there is one person who is an absolute expert..."
"Really-aru!" Kagura asked in shock, "Who is it"
Shinpachi also looked at Gintoki curiously.
"It's your stupid uncle..." Just as Gintoki said that Kagura rushed out of Yorozuya's door.
"Hey... Gin-san, that..." Shinpachi muttered, "I always feel that you are just fooling Kagura-chan."
"No, that idiot was really good at catching rhinoceros beetle when he was a child," Gintoki replied casually with a wave of his hand, "Although he always caught some strange species."
"The strange species refers to..."
"Don't mind it, don't mind it. But in this way, no one will disturb my sleep~" Gintoki was secretly delighted, and then he was ready to pick up the remote control on the table to turn off the TV and continue to sleep for a while.
"That's true. I can read the report about Otsuu-chan in peace." Shinpachi said as he picked up the newspaper.
However, just as Gintoki picked up the remote control and turned his head to glance at the TV, he was suddenly stunned...
"What's wrong?" After noticing that something was wrong with Gintoki, Shinpachi followed Gintoki's line of sight and looked at the TV.
On TV, there was a report about the rhinoceros beetle.
A female reporter pointed to the rhinoceros beetle in the hands of a passer-by who was interviewed and asked with a shocked face, "Hey?! Is this rhinoceros beetle really that expensive?! A price enough to buy a car?!"
"Ah, yes. But for me, it is more important than a car." The passer-by looked at the rhinoceros beetle in his hand and said.
"Now, a rhinoceros beetle with such a high price has appeared on the market. It seems that the rhinoceros beetle boom has developed into a big trend that even adults can't stay out of." The female reporter said with a smile on her face.
"This is..." Shinpachi murmured as he adjusted his glasses.
"Beetle hunting time!!!!" Gintoki, who had put on a straw hat and changed into a light blue summer suit, stood in front of the TV with a net in his hand. He stared at his big red eyes and roared.
"Even you are like this?!"
"Hey, where did Kagura go? Yorozuya is indispensable! This is work! Business!" Gintoki shouted at Shinpachi.
"Didn't you ask Kagura-chan to find Kawaki-san just now? Did you lose your memory?" Shinpachi retorted.
"Then there's no other way. The two of us can only go up! Are you ready, Shinpachi?!"
...
Yoshiwara, inside Kawaki's room.
"Beetle hunting time!" The young girl shouted loudly.
It was like the beginning of the chapter was also playing out in Kawaki's room.
However, Kawaki acted as if he did not hear anything and continued his gaming journey.
"Beetle hunting time!" The young girl moved a few steps forward and shouted again from behind Kawaki.
However, Kawaki still had no reaction after a full minute and was still immersed in the game.
The young girl finally couldn't bear it anymore. She pulled off Kawaki's headphones and shouted in Kawaki's ear, "Beetle hunting time!"
"So noisy!!" Kawaki could not help but complain, "That kind of thing, you can go by yourself!"
"But..." Kagura suddenly knelt down, lowered her head, and covered her face to cry, "I really want beetle... For my Sadaharu 21... Ah, wrong, it was Sadaharu No. 28 taking revenge on-aru!"
"Hey, hey, don't cry anymore." Looking at the young girl crying non-stop, Kawaki couldn't help but be a little flustered. He hurriedly comforted her, "That kind of thing doesn't matter."
"Then can you help me catch beetle?" The young girl raised her head, tears faintly visible in the corners of her eyes. Her pitiful big eyes stared straight at Kawaki.
"That... even if you stare at me like this..." Kawaki sighed softly and continued, "Can you also consider my age a little? Although I look like a romantic, elegant, and handsome young man on the outside, I am almost thirty years old. No matter what, this age does not seem like the time to hunt something like that..."
After hearing this, Kagura was ready to burst into tears again. After all, Gintoki once said, [No matter who it is, they will not turn a blind eye to the cry of a young girl! Using their own tears to earn sympathy is not shameful!]
"Wait a minute!" Kawaki hurriedly stopped her. Then, he held his forehead and muttered, "Enough, I know. But this is the only time you can be so willful. I won't care if you do this again next time."
Just as he finished speaking, Kagura instantly cheered and stood up. At the same time, a group of Hyakka members opened the door of Kawaki's room with a net in their hands. They were all dressed up.
"Are you guys... prepared in advance?" Kawaki retorted expressionlessly.
"We've been preparing all this time!" This group of Hyakka members replied. Then, they stared at Kawaki's lower body with burning gazes at the same time and said, "Prepare to hunt Kawaki-sama [Large Rhinoceros Beetle] at any time!"
"Are you guys aiming there?" Kawaki complained, but then Kawaki sighed and said, "But I can't take you out this time. After all, their still a lot of work to do in Yoshiwara, right? Tsukki would not agree, right?"
"No, I agree. This is also to prevent you from secretly running away in the name of hunting the beetle." Tsukuyo said as she walked into Kawaki's room with her kizeru, "In other words, this is just simple surveillance work."
"Do I look like that kind of person?" Kawaki cursed.
"I don't think so," Tsukuyo replied.
"I knew it..." Kawaki cupped his hands and nodded.
"I don't think so. I think you look like that kind of person!" Tsukuyo spat out the second half of her sentence that she had not finished speaking.
"Hey!" Kawaki rolled his eyes and said loudly, "What do you mean by that kind of person! Is that kind of person referring to that kind of person? Is he the kind of person who puts on his pants and doesn't recognize people? Do I look like the kind of person who would pull up his pants and not recognize people?!"
