Chapter 340: Look Behind You and You Will Find That Life Is Filled with Regret!
The next day.
After a day of working, Gintoki had already adapted well to the environment here. At least, he was no longer as afraid of the floating Stand as he was at the beginning.
Although all the work was done in a mess, such as accidentally throwing away the luggage(head) of the guests and scrubbing the backs of the Stand who was left with only bones, turning the guests into ashes, and so on, the rest of the work was done well.
It was already nighttime.
In Oiwa's room, Gintoki was kneeling on one side of the table, his head lowered in silence.
"Did I see the wrong person?" Oiwa, bit on the peanuts and looked at Gintoki, who had his head lowered in silence, "I received a lot of complaints from the guests. How do you want me to deal with them, Gin?"
"No, no, I think I'm already working very hard." Gintoki's face was covered in cold sweat as he weakly retorted, "I can't even use a Stand to begin with, but I still helped him scrub his back. It's almost time for me to return..."
Before Gintoki could finish speaking, the purple translucent Stand behind the proprietress appeared. She fiercely scolded Gintoki, "Don't think too beautifully! The so-called work needs results first, and then there will be an evaluation! It's meaningless to just work hard without results! You good-for-nothing!"
"What are you talking about?" Gintoki retorted, "Why are you so arrogant? I'm no longer afraid of you. I've seen a lot of things and I'm used to it! Who would be afraid of you..."
Before Gintoki could finish speaking, the purple Stand enlarged itself and roared as it charged toward Gintoki.
Gintoki was so scared that he fell to the ground with his mouth wide open.
"I'm sorry! I seem to be too proud. I'm really sorry!" Gintoki knelt down without hesitation and shouted loudly.
"Just leave it at that, dear," The proprietress waved her hand casually, "We need the help. He's better than nothing."
After the proprietress finished speaking, the purple Stand calmed down and retreated behind Oiwa.
"You don't have to go and receive the guests, GIn," Oiwa looked at Gintoki again and instructed, "Go to the back and do some routine chores. We have an important guest tomorrow. The light of the East, the former Great Gongen, Prince Tokugawa Ieyasu, is coming to our hot spring. The rating of this inn will drop if someone like you were to appear before him. Just stay there obediently."
Gintoki lowered his head and kept silent. However, if you looked closely, you would find that Gintoki's expression was unbearable. His two lifeless eyes were filled with displeasure. He gnashed his teeth as if he was enduring something.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Kawaki's voice came in, "Umm, Excuse me. Auntie, is dinner ready? I'm hungry."
As soon as Kawaki finished speaking, Gintoki found that the proprietress Stand hid.
"Oh dear, it's Kawaki-kun." Oiwa quickly got up and opened the door. She smiled apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry. I'm really too busy today. Dinner will be ready in a while."
"It doesn't matter," Kawaki touched the back of his head and smiled, "If you're really too busy, it doesn't matter if it's a bit late."
As he spoke, Kawaki suddenly noticed Gintoki who was inside, and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why are you here? Why are you wearing that kind of clothing?"
"Actually..." Just as Gintoki was about to speak, the Stand behind the proprietress appeared again and stared straight at Gintoki, suppressing the words that Gintoki wanted to say.
"Actually, he saw that the work was too hard for an aunt like me, so he thought of coming to help." the proprietress said with a smile, "What a considerate young man."
"I see," Kawaki nodded, then looked at Gintoki and praised, "I didn't expect you to be so kind occasionally."
As he spoke, Kawaki suddenly seemed to think of something. He turned to look at Oiwa again and raised his index finger, "Umm, Auntie, if there is really a lack of manpower, I can also help. After all, I have received so many favors from you. It is really unreasonable not to let me do something, Ahahaha..."
"No, no need!" Oiwa quickly refused, "Kawaki-kun just needs to stay in the room obediently."
"Eh?"
"What I mean is, the two of us are enough. Kawaki-kun seems to have lost a lot of weight. It's only been three years, but I didn't expect you to lose so much weight. Auntie feels very distressed." Oiwa quickly explained, "So at this time, just stay in the room well, and just treat it as a place to relax."
"Really?" Kawaki scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassed, "And I'm not thin."
"No, in Auntie's eyes, you are really tired now. It is better to relax."
"Aunt..." Kawaki wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "You are really too good to me. I will never forget you in this life. In the future, I will come to visit you at this time every year! Absolutely!"
The moment these words came out, the smile on Oiwa's face instantly froze.
...
Seeing Kawaki covering his eyes and leaving with a face full of emotion, Oiwa let out a sigh of relief. She then muttered to herself, "Why did I save him at that time? If I had known earlier, wouldn't it be better to let him starve to death in the mountains?"
Just as she finished speaking, Oiwa suddenly reacted. She turned around and glanced at Gintoki then remind him, "Don't think about making use of Kawaki-kun to do some boring things. But even if you say so, he will definitely not believe your words because he can't see the Stand."
Gintoki secretly spat, and at the same time, he also made up his mind...
...
Late at night, Gintoki secretly came to the door of Kawaki's room. He held back his fear and closed his eyes, ignoring the countless hands that poked out from the hole. Step by step, he went down the stairs...
Standing by Kawaki's bedside and looking at Kawaki who was drooling and sleeping soundly, Gintoki felt a burst of irritability for no reason. He immediately kicked him hard, sending him flying.
"Ah!" Kawaki rubbed his head and stood up from the ground. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he immediately shouted, "What are you doing! Bastard! Why did you do this kind of annoying thing when others are sleeping!"
"Why your head! Why are you still sleeping at this time?! You should also notice that something is wrong with this inn!"
Ignoring Gintoki's ridicule, Kawaki sighed heavily and said, "You have been crazy for two days. You did it on purpose, right? You definitely didn't want me to have a good rest on purpose, right? Doesn't the protagonist have a vacation? There should be a holiday, right? I'm begging you, how about letting me have a good rest? I can let you be the protagonist for this period of time."
"Are you an idiot?! An absolute idiot?!" Gintoki scolded with veins bursting, "It's fine if you don't notice anything else, don't you also notice that yours only knows how to eat and has no beauty at all idiot niece who wasted seiyuu resources already playing UNO for more than a whole day?!"
"Has she been playing for a whole day?" Kawaki's expression froze slightly and he nodded slightly, "Indeed, it's a bit too much to play for a day in a row. But isn't it normal to be playful at this age? I remember when we were the same age as Kagura, didn't we often play games all night?"
"Take a good look at it first!" As he spoke, Gintoki angrily pulled Kawaki up and climbed up the stairs.
...
"Shh, be quiet. They should still be playing games at this time. Take a good look at them. As long as you see them, I believe you can understand the importance of this situation."
Gintoki squatted at the door of Otae and the others' room and gestured to Kawaki to be quiet. Then, he carefully opened the door and signaled Kawaki to take a look.
"This isn't good, right?" Kawaki replied in a low voice, "After all, it's the girls' room. Isn't it bad to peek like this? By the way, Gintoki, are you this kind of person? Do you still have this kind of peeping hobby?"
"Shut up! Just honestly look at it!" As he spoke, Gintoki pressed Kawaki's head against the crack of the door.
Kawaki's eyes were just facing the crack of the door. Looking at the scene in the room, Kawaki's pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly moved his gaze away, standing up with some lingering fear.
"Do you see it? Do you see the situation inside?" Gintoki whispered.
"Ah, I see it. It is indeed a very serious matter," Kawaki nodded and said with a serious face, "In that case, I can't keep silent anymore. Leave it to me, Gintoki!"
"Hey, I haven't said anything yet. By the way, do you really understand it?"
"Ah, I have completely understood it. No wonder you are so anxious, Gintoki. Leave it to me!" As he spoke, Kawaki opened the door of the room and pointed at Shinpachi who was sleeping soundly on the floor, and he shouted, "Hey! Shinpachi! Don't sleep in a girl's room!"
"You don't understand at all!" Gintoki was in a bad mood. However, when he saw the scene in the room, he was shocked. He saw that the people in the room were all lying on the tatami and sleeping. All of them were normal! There was no Demon Kakka!
"Ah, so it's Kawaki-san." Shinpachi rubbed his eyes and sat up. "It's strange. I seem to be playing UNO. Why did I fall asleep unconsciously..."
"Shinpachi-kun, I will never allow you to spend the night in a girl's room! So please go back to your room!" Kawaki crossed his arms and criticized him seriously.
"Sorry, sorry, I think I'm too sleepy." Shinpachi smiled awkwardly, then stood up and walked to his room.
"It's been hard on you, Gintoki. You actually care so much about Kagura-chan's innocence." Kawaki patted Gintoki on the shoulder and said gratefully, "If the news that Kagura-chan slept in the same room as a boy spread out, she would definitely not be able to get married. You must have thought of this to call me here, right? You are really considerate. This time, I really have to thank you."
"Why did it become like this? Why did they become normal as soon as this guy appeared? It is completely incomprehensible!" Gintoki hugged his head and shouted at the sky.
However, just as he finished speaking, Kagura directly stood up and kicked over. Otae's fist and Tsukuyo's kunai arrived at the same time.
Kawaki and Gintoki were hit at the same time, and the two of them were instantly sent flying.
"Sneaking around in a girl's room in the middle of the night. I really misjudged the two of you!" Otae said with a face full of contempt.
"Yes, yes. Even if I know that I have already reached this kind of charming age, you can't peep." Kagura crossed her arms and nodded, her face also full of disdain.
"If there is a next time, I will cripple both of you." Tsukuyo glanced at the two of them indifferently.
"Gintoki, it's all your fault..." Kawaki struggled to get up from the ground, "I was completely misunderstood."
After saying that, Kawaki looked at Kagura and the others and explained, "It's not what you think. It's actually Gintoki..."
Without waiting for Kawaki to finish speaking, Otae closed the door. At the same time, she did not forget to spit.
...
"Really, It's all your fault," Kawaki complained angrily and then turned to leave, "Forget it, I'm so sleepy. I want to have a good rest. Don't bother me anymore, Gintoki."
The expressionless Gintoki stayed in place for a few seconds before raising his head and curling his lips. He muttered with a hopeless face, "Why? Why? Why?!!!"
At this time, in the room of Otae and the others. Otae and the others also sensed that something was wrong.
"Um, what were we doing just now?" Otae asked doubtfully, "Why do I feel like I can't remember it?"
"Didn't you kick Gin-chan and the others away-aru?" Kagura replied.
"No, I mean what we were doing before?"
"I think we were playing UNO." Tsukuyo thought for a moment, then looked up and said with some uncertainty.
"It does seem to be playing UNO," Otae frowned and thought hard, "But why can't I remember the details?"
"If you can't remember, then don't think about it-aru. I'm already very sleepy." As she spoke, Kagura yawned and lay down again, "Hurry up and sleep. Insomnia is the natural enemy of women."
"You're right. I'm indeed a little tired," Otae replied with a smile. Then, she turned off the light and lay down as well, "Go to sleep."
"Yes," Tsukuyo responded and then lay down on the side.
However, just as the three of them closed their eyes, they suddenly opened their eyes at the same time. However, their appearances were no longer the same as before, but the appearance of Demon Kakka!
Demon Kakka Shinpachi pulled open the door of Otae and the others, and once again turned on the lights to start a new round of UNO card showdown. At this time, Gintoki really had the urge to destroy everything...
