Chapter 236: No Matter How Delicious the Food Is, as Long as It Is Spoiled, It Can’t Be Eaten...
Evening, in a small shop.
"Welcome~," Tama lowered her head and greeted. However, when Tama raised her head, she realized that it was Kawaki who had arrived. The smile on her face instantly became thicker, "Kawaki-sama!"
"Ara, what a rare guest." Otose, who was standing at the counter with a cigarette in her hand, gently puffed out a cloud of smoke. At the same time, she glanced at Kawaki, who had opened the door and entered.
"Ah, sorry to disturb you..." Kawaki said casually as he touched the back of his head. Then, he walked in and sat down in front of the counter.
"Our shop doesn't have that kind of thing," Otose replied.
"Then forget it," Kawaki said indifferently. He then took out an envelope from his bosom and placed it on the counter, "It's for the last month."
Otose wanted to take it, but Catherine was one step ahead of her.
"Is this all?" Catherine pointed at the money in the envelope and said unhappily, "The food that the big stomach girl ate is not something that can be solved with just this amount of money! If you want to pay it back, return my lost youth, you bastard!"
"What kind of terrible line is this... Speaking of which, it is not your turn to say this, right? Youth? Do you have that kind of thing?!" Kawaki spat expressionlessly, then turned around and vomited, "Please stay away from me a little bit. Seeing your face, I can't help but vomit..."
"How rude! You bastard!" Catherine was unhappy.
"It's too noisy! Bring it to me, bastard!" Otose knocked on Catherine's fist and took the envelope from Catherine's hand.
...
"Then, I'll be going..." As he spoke, Kawaki stood up and prepared to leave.
"Aren't you going to wait a little longer?" Otose said, "That child will be back soon."
"What do you mean?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.
However, just as he finished speaking, the door of Otose's Snack House was pulled open. He saw Tama carrying a shopping bag enter. She looked travel-worn, and her clothes were covered in dust.
"Are you going to participate in the robot sprint competition?" Kawaki asked expressionlessly.
Tama did not answer. Instead, she walked over and handed the shopping bag to Otose. Then, she turned around to greet the other customers.
"Okay," Otose took out two bottles of Chinese wine from the shopping bag and placed them on the counter, "Do you want to drink two cups?"
"That would be nice." Kawaki smiled and sat down in front of the counter again.
...
Otose's Snack House at night was the busiest time of its day.
"How do you feel?" Otose asked, "Is this your first time drinking in such a noisy store? How do you feel?"
"I feel the same as your face. It can't be any worse." Kawaki blurted out as he put down his glass.
"Can't you say something nice?!" Otose scolded.
"I've already said it very tactfully..." Kawaki explained, then stretched out three fingers and said seriously, "In fact, the real feeling is three times worse than your face!"
"You bastard!" Otose picked up the wine bottle as if she was going to knock it on Kawaki's head in the next moment. However, in the end, Otose put down the wine bottle and sighed, "You should pay a little more attention. Although that child doesn't say it, she is looking forward to your arrival. Can't you do it a few more times?"
"Huh?" Kawaki was even more confused.
"I'm talking about Tama." Otose glanced at Tama, who was complaining to a drunk customer but always had a smile on her face, "What a heartless man! Throwing a woman in a place like this for so long without looking at it once. Even if he came here once, he would just drink in such a place."
"Please don't say such a bad line again..." Kawaki raised his hand to stop her, "Why do you say that I'm like a man who abandons others? I don't have that kind of relationship with Tama in the first place!"
"Isn't it?" Gintoki, who had arrived at some unknown time, sat in front of the counter and poured himself a glass of wine, "Haven't you always been a man who abandons others? Granny, you may not know how many times this man abandons women."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Kawaki scolded, "Speaking of which, when did you come here?! That's my wine! Why did you pick up my wine and drink it on your own? Put it down, bastard!"
"Tsk tsk, it's so spicy. The appetizers..." Gintoki took a sip of wine and then picked up a crab from the plate in front of Kawaki and ate it.
"You should stop before you go too far, bastard!" Kawaki cursed, "Put it down if you think it's too spicy! And that's the crab I ordered!"
"One more bowl!" Kagura, who had arrived at some unknown time, raised her bowl and said. She had a crab leg and a few grains of rice in her mouth.
"Thank you, Kawaki-san," Shinpachi said as he stuffed crabs into the Tupperware.
"You guys are here too?!" Kawaki shouted, "Also, don't pack my food, bastard!"
...
By the side, Gintoki was already completely drunk. He kept calling out for another cup. Kagura's stomach was also full from eating, and she kept burping. As for Shinpachi, he was already asleep on the table.
"Really... his alcohol tolerance is still so bad..." Kawaki couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he stood up and helped Gintoki up, "You really know how to cause trouble. We're going, granny."
After saying that, Kawaki picked up Shinpachi with one hand and carried him with Gintoki out. Seeing this, Kagura also followed.
"What a... heartless man..." Otose gently puffed out a mouthful of smoke. At the same time, she glanced at Tama, who was sitting on the sofa with a disappointed look on her face, and whispered softly...
However, Otose suddenly noticed something. She turned around and asked Catherine, "Where did these crabs come from?"
"Aren't these sent by your acquaintance last time?" Catherine replied and then spat disdainfully, "Tama entertained them with this kind of thing, but they didn't even say thank you to me. Really, has their heads broken?"
"You should be the one whose head is broken! If they want to say thank you, they should say it to Tama!" Otose cursed, "And didn't I tell you to throw these crabs away?! Don't you know that the refrigerator has been broken for several days?!"
"I forgot, meow~," Catherine put on a cute expression, but only she herself felt that it was cute.
"Disgusting! Don't pretend to be cute!" Otose rolled her eyes and scolded, "This is bad. Are they okay..."
However, just as she finished speaking, Otose heard a painful groan coming from upstairs of her house. After a while, the siren of an ambulance also came from outside the door.
"It should be okay..." Otose whispered, "There wouldn't be a problem with the Food Safety Administration, right? It should be okay..."
However, just as she finished speaking, Otose inadvertently glanced at Catherine, who was also clutching her stomach and squatting on the ground with a painful face.
"Did you eat it too in the end?!"
...
The next day, at Oedo Hospital.
"This time, I will definitely blackmail that old woman!" Gintoki, who was wearing a hospital gown, sat on the hospital bed and said angrily, "She actually gave the guests that kind of spoiled food..."
"Gin-san, it's all your own self-inflicted suffering," Shinpachi sat on the hospital bed on the side and curled the corners of his mouth, "Speaking of which, we are also the same..."
"So... it's not unreasonable for me to hate seafood..." Kawaki, who was also wearing a hospital gown, lay on the bed and curled his lips in disdain.
"Then it's all your fault!" Gintoki grabbed the pillow and threw it directly at Kawaki, "If you hadn't ordered some crab, we wouldn't have fallen to this point! Take responsibility, bastard!"
"Can you be any more shameless?" Kawaki retorted expressionlessly, "Weren't you the one who snatched the food?! Why did you make it sound like it was all my fault?! Besides, I wasn't the one who ordered that! Tama was the one who brought it up!"
"It seems that the robot will also take revenge on the man who abandoned it." Gintoki teased.
"Shut up, bastard!" Kawaki rolled his eyes and scolded, "It is not that kind of relationship! Only you will like robots, Hideki Motosuwa!"
(Hideki Motosuwa: The male lead of "Chobits", voiced by Tomokazu Sugita.)
"What do you know about Hideki?!" Gintoki shouted, "Hideki is also very hardworking!"
"Well, you two don't have to quarrel," Shinpachi hurriedly came out to mediate, "You should get along with each other occasionally, right? And now we are in a hospital. It's not good to make a big fuss."
"What an annoying guy." Kawaki spat disdainfully and then turned to look out of the window, ignoring Gintoki.
At this time, a familiar person appeared at the door of the ward.
"They are the patients who will be admitted to this ward today," The nurse explained to Hasegawa, who was wearing a hospital gown, with a smile, "You have to get along well with them."
Looking at the familiar people in the ward, the corners of Hasegawa's eyes twitched.
At the same time, Kawaki and the Yorozuya trio, who were in the ward, also found Hasegawa at the door of the ward.
...
"Hey? Are all of you Hasegawa's friends?" The nurse said with a smile, "That's great, Hasegawa-san. You won't be lonely during the hospitalization."
"Don't say that, Miss Uchino," Hasegawa smiled embarrassedly while sitting on the hospital bed, "I'm just like-minded friends with them."
"Wait a minute, did you say something bad just now?" Gintoki sat on the bed beside him and complained expressionlessly.
"Don't be mistaken," Kawaki said at the same time, "We are not friends. If you insist on it... I should be like his life mentor."
