"watashi no ohaka no mae de(do not stand at my grave)~"
"nakanaide kudasai(and weep)~~sob~"
"sokoni watashi wa imasen(I am not there)~"
"nemuttenanka imasen(I am not sleeping)~"
...
Seeing more and more Stand turn into smoke and ascend to heaven under Gintoki's singing, Oiwa finally reacted and opened the door of the room.
However, Gintoki and the others did not care. As they sang, they walked out from the other side of the door. At the same time, Gintoki's unique singing did not stop. Now, Gintoki's Sen no Kaze ni Natte / A Thousand Winds was echoing in the entire Senboukyou. At the same time, more and more Stands were ascending to heaven because of Gintoki's singing.
"Brief Trio!" Oiwa quickly looked at the brief trio on the side, "Hurry up and chase! If this goes on, the guests in this inn will disappear!"
"Please wait," Hideyoshi supported Mitsuhide, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and said, "Sir Mitsuhide has already made a stairway to heaven!"
"What the hell are you doing?!" Oiwa cursed.
"Pull yourself together, Mitsuhide!" Nobunaga shouted.
"No, stop feeding me those heartwarming words!" Mitsuhide hurriedly stopped him, "Or I'm gonna come... I'm gonna come..."
"That's enough! Hurry up and chase after them!" As she spoke, Oiwa kicked the three of them out of the door.
However, Oiwa would never have thought that the three of them would be wiped out within three minutes. The reason for the wipe was very simple. It was just that Tsukuyo showed her shoulders to the three of them, and the three of them became happy at the same time...
...
On the other side, Gintoki was also blocked at the end of the corridor by the proprietress.
"It's useless," The proprietress looked at Gintoki, who still wanted to continue singing, and reminded him, "That kind of thing is useless to my husband."
"Sure enough," Gintoki sighed softly, then looked at the proprietress and replied, "Actually, I only know how to sing a little."
"You really dare to do it, you are indeed the man I have my eyes on," The Stand appears behind the proprietress, "But it seems that you have overdone it?"
"Is there anything wrong with making the dead ascend to heaven?" Gintoki retorted, "Letting dead people go to the afterlife is the law of nature, but you insist on making them entangled in such a place. Proprietress, what exactly do you want to do?!"
As he spoke, Gintoki threw away the shamisen in his hand and continued to persuade, "Should we stop now? I don't know if it is infatuation or something else, but rather than licking each other's wounds in this kind of place, it is better to send all of you to the afterlife!"
After saying that, Gintoki rubbed his hands together and took a step forward. The expression on his face finally became serious.
"Hmph," The proprietress snorted disdainfully, "Let's just see who will be sent to the afterlife. I'll show you what a real Stand user is!"
As she spoke, the Stand behind the proprietress roared, and waves of air burst out from the proprietress' body.
'The most powerful Stand, Tagosaku, has finally shown up!' Gintoki crossed his arms in front of him to block this powerful air current. At the same time, he thought to himself, 'I can feel it even before the battle! This evil aura I feel... He's totally different from the other Stands! I mean, I see something like "Gogogogo"! That's the same "Gogogogo" I see in that manga, right?'
As if he saw through Gintoki's thoughts, Oiwa said lightly, "Yes, my husband is not the kind of useless Stand. He is completely different from those weak and low-level Stands who listen to your poor singing and ascend to heaven!"
"Because he has an obsession with this world?... Or a grudge?"
"It's not like that." The proprietress shook her head and then explained unhurriedly, "This is a bond between people! For example, a lawyer and defendant, a coach and player, or Guncannon and Gundam, or Tonkatsu and cabbage, or Mana and Kana!"
"Hey! The last couple of examples fall short, don't they?!"
"In short, there is no way to sever our connection easily." The proprietress continued.
"You're already so old, yet you're still telling such a boring love story." Gintoki snorted disdainfully, "I'm already sick of hearing it! You old hag!"
"What? Don't you have a sweetheart?" The proprietress mocked, "What a sad man~"
"You really don't have to worry about it! Bastard!" Gintoki retorted without thinking, and then continued, "I also have..."
The next second, Gintoki wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his arm.
"If you don't have it, then just say it. Don't force yourself, kid!"
"Shut up! Don't make me miserable!!" Gintoki shouted, "I tend to drag stuff like this out! It really hurts me, you know!"
"Hmph, it doesn't matter. It will end soon anyway." The proprietress said indifferently, "No matter when or what it is, Tagosaku will protect me. Ever since that time..."
Looking at the proprietress who had fallen into the memories of her past love, Gintoki hurriedly stopped her, "That's enough! That love story has been written many times! I can probably guess it! Basically, it's all about promises and protection! So please don't say it! The remaining word count is running out!"
"Well, forget it." Oiwa gave a self-deprecating smile. Then, she raised her head and let out a sigh. Then, she abruptly sucked all of Tagosaku into her body!
'Is she taking the Stand into her own body?!' Gintoki was slightly shocked.
"You have it all wrong. Being a Stand user is not just about controlling the Stands as you command. You must also be able to take in the stand within your own body!" As the lady boss spoke, her body also began to expand. "Not only must you maintain your consciousness, but you also have to control that powerful power. That is the real Stand user! Gin, can you imitate this?!"
'The proprietress' body is getting bigger and bigger, just like someone else. This is the real Stand user...' Before Gintoki could finish thinking, the proprietress had finished evolving.
Looking at the giant in front of him, Gintoki couldn't help but ridicule, "It's just a normal Demon Kakka! Although it has become a little bigger, isn't it still Demon Kakka in the end?!"
"Ahahaha, I'll turn you into a wax dummy, too!" The proprietress laughed loudly.
"Hehe," Gintoki laughed, "Old woman, maybe that Tagosaku is really strong, but you can't beat me. Do you know why?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are already trembling in fear, right? It's not too late to beg for mercy now."
"Because!" Gintoki suddenly took out a palm-sized ball of light from the side. If you look carefully, there are curly silver hairs on the light ball, "This arc is not a Stand arc at all, but a Shaman King arc!"
As he spoke, Gintoki pressed the ball of light against his chest and shouted, "Gin! Spirit Flame Mode! Let's go! Spirit Integration!!"
Looking at Gintoki who transforms into Demon Kakka with the word "sugar" on his forehead, this time it's the proprietress' turn to complain. "There is no difference at all! In the end, isn't it just sending Stand into the body?!"
"No, it is completely different!" Gintoki raised his hand, "One is the remake of the anime that is broadcasting as the new show, and the other is the remake of the animation that was many years ago. You have already lost at this point!"
"No!" The proprietress suddenly thought of something, "No! The Stand you just used to fuse with is you! Then, who is the one controlling your body?!"
"It's me." Rei slowly floated behind Gintoki. Using Gintoki's mouth, she slowly said, "Proprietress and boss... How long has it been like this? Us... this inn... when we started it was a much more wonderful place."
As she spoke, Rei thought of the past, the time when she was brought back by Oiwa when she was shivering in the snowy street, the first time she saw a Stand hiding behind Oiwa, the first time she was instructed by Oiwa to scrub the back of a skeleton Stand...
[Listen, this inn is for ghosts who failed to get to heaven.]
[They couldn't make it to paradise, but we can at least give them a bath here and help them get to heaven.]
...
"Obviously, you taught me so gently before, why is it like this now? This place was like a terminal for lost and weary souls who had no other place to go, but why? Why after that day, the inn now lies in ruins filled with Stands."
After a pause, Rei raised his voice and continued, "The proprietress and the boss should have noticed it a long time ago, right? Please stop! It's still not too late!"
"Hmph! Stop blathering, little girl. The Stands are our business partners. That's all!" The proprietress said disdainfully.
"The time has come to break these cursed chains that have tied down the spirits here for so long." After saying that, Rei slowly merged into Gintoki's body again, "Gin! Free everything! No matter if it is the Stand or the proprietress!"
"En!" Gintoki regained control of his body.
"You think you can beat my husband just by possessing a small fry like Rei?!" As she spoke, the proprietress waved her fist and rushed toward Gintoki.
Gintoki raised his fist without the slightest bit of timidity and greeted her.
At the same time, the two fists collided and a shock wave burst out from their bodies. At the same time, the entire inn began to shake violently.
Neither side retreated. They seemed to be equally matched, but it was only for a moment.
A moment later, Gintoki screamed and staggered back two steps while covering his bleeding right arm.
Seeing this, the proprietress raised the corners of her mouth and swung her fist again...
