Chapter 366: If You Work Too Hard, It Might Backfire!
"It doesn't matter! Whether it's vitamins, protein, calcium, or anything else, there's no need for this kind of topic to exist in the first place!" Shinpachi, who had returned to his seat, looked at Kawaki and the others who were facing him with bulging blue veins, "What is needed is etiquette! It's useless to add anything before learning etiquette!"
"Tsk..." x2
Kawaki and Gintoki turned their faces at the same time and spat in disdain.
"What is that?! What kind of attitude is that?!" Shinpachi shouted with veins popping out, "If you do anything to make Kyubei lose face again, I will really throw the two of you out! Idiot!"
"That, Shin-chan..." Otae secretly tugged at the corner of Shinpachi's clothes and reminded him in a low voice, "Hurry up and calm down, Shin-chan..."
"What's wrong?" Shinpachi asked in confusion.
Otae quietly pointed behind her. Shinpachi looked in the direction that Otae was pointing in with some doubt. He saw that because of his shout just now, all the guests were staring at their table with disdainful look.
"I was too angry and forgot for a moment..." Shinpachi turned his head, covered his face, and said with some annoyance. Then, he moved his hand back and looked at Kawaki and Gintoki. He said in a low voice, "It's all your fault! Anyway, from now on, don't do anything strange. Do you hear me? "
Just as Shinpachi finished speaking, a waiter walked to the front desk of the venue, picked up the microphone, and whispered, "Guests attending the party, I have made you wait for a long time. The protagonist is about to appear."
Then, Kyubei's voice came from the side door of the venue.
"What are you doing? Tojo, what the hell is going on?"
"Don't ask young master. You should go in quickly."
"Don't push me, you fool." As Kyubei spoke, she opened the side door of the venue, "What exactly is going on..."
Before she finished speaking, Kyubei noticed the situation in the venue.
...
"Happy birthday to you, Kyubei-san."
All the guests stood up at the same time and looked in the direction of Kyubei. Then they congratulated her from the bottom of their hearts.
There were also a few people who pulled out confetti.
Only then did Kyubei react, and her face showed some embarrassment.
"Kyu-chan was shocked," Otae said with a smile as she clapped.
"Gin-san, Kawaki-san." Shinpachi, who was looking through the birthday party program, raised his head and looked at Gintoki and Kawaki beside him, "It's almost time to sing together."
"Sing together?" Gintoki was puzzled.
"What is that?" Kawaki asked doubtfully at the same time, "Is there such a thing?"
As soon as Kawaki finished speaking, the staff holding various instruments at the front of the venue began to play. Accompanied by the melody of the birthday song, the guests also quieted down.
"This is it," Shinpachi reminded in a low voice, "We can't cause trouble for the people around us anymore. Let's all try our best to sing together!"
Then...
"Happy birthday to you!!"
"Happy birthday, dear Kyubei!!!"
"Happy birthday to you!!"
...
The guests at the side, along with Kawaki and the others, all covered their ears and quietly admired Shinpachi's heart-warming, eardrum-shattering happy birthday singing solo show...
After Shinpachi finished singing the last sentence, everyone present felt lucky to have survived a calamity, as if he was allowed to continue, the world would be destroyed.
"What was that?"
"That was wretched. Honestly, what is he thinking?"
...
Listening to the whispers of the guests and feeling the disgust in the eyes of the guests, Shinpachi, who was unaware of it, asked, "Huh? Why is it like this? Why does it have the opposite effect? I was clearly trying very hard to sing..."
"Go watch episode 17 of "Gintama". Go watch episode 17 again." Gintoki squinted his eyes and reminded him expressionlessly.
"Shinpachi, there are some things that you don't have to work so hard for." Kawaki patted Shinpachi on the shoulder and said, "If you work too hard, it might backfire."
After a pause, Kawaki thought of something and added, "For the sake of social stability, don't sing in public in the future."
"This sentence is also suitable for you!" Shinpachi argued in dissatisfaction.
"Don't be silly. If I make a debut, I will be in the first echelon in minutes." Kawaki replied with a disdainful chuckle.
"Before you say this, you should read the social meetup chapter again for me!" Shinpachi shouted.
However, just as he finished speaking, Shinpachi suddenly noticed Tojo who was standing not far away. His expressionless face had a pair of rarely opened eyes that were bloodshot. At this moment, Tojo was staring fixedly at Shinpachi and the others.
"This is bad, Tojo's eyes, which had always been narrowed into a single line, have opened!" Shinpachi was a little flustered, "He stared at this side without blinking!"
"Maybe the painter suddenly remembered to paint his eyes today." Kawaki comforted, "Or maybe he was too sleepy and fell asleep."
"How is that possible!" Shinpachi argued in a low voice, "How could someone sleep with that kind of expression!"
"Him." Kawaki and Gintoki pointed at Katsura at the same time.
Shinpachi, "..."
...
The guests lined up around Kyubei, offering flowers and sincere blessings one by one.
"Gin-san, Kawaki-san, we're supposed to take a bouquet over to her now. It says that there is a bouquet of flowers under each table." Shinpachi reminded in a low voice, "So a representative from each table is supposed to take it to Kyubei."
Just as Shinpachi finished speaking, Katsura, who was at the side, had already found the bouquet under the table and stood up. He said, "A representative... I suppose I have no choice. I'll have to go. For I am the only person here qualified to be the leader."
"Hold it right there!" Kagura said with her hands on her hips, "You always call me the leader-aru. The leader of the leader is the real leader."
"Wait! Calm down, you two," Hasegawa stood up and mediated, "Now is not the time to quarrel, right? The representative here will be handed over to me, the eldest..."
"No, didn't I say that I will go?" Katsura retorted, "In the past, when other school representatives came to our school, I was the one who went up to present flowers."
"No, you should let me go!" Kagura grabbed Katsura.
"Calm down, you two. If I go, I will definitely be able to complete it smoothly. Before, when I was still working in Bakufu, every time we received a big shot from a foreign country, I would give them a bouquet! I have more experience in this kind of thing!"
Hasegawa also joined in this battle...
Looking at the three people who refused to give in and the bouquet that was being torn apart by the three people, Kawaki and the others could only remain silent...
But fortunately, the final battle came to an end. Kagura relied on her strong physical ability to defeat Katsura and Hasegawa one by one, obtaining the final victory with... a bouquet that only had one flower left...
...
Kagura put her hands behind her back and came to Kyubei who was holding countless flowers. She then said, "Ky-Kyu-chan, happy birthday."
As he spoke, Kagura took out a flower that was hidden behind her and handed it over to Kyubei.
"Here..."
"Ah, thank you."
Kyubei did not care about the withered flower and extended her hand after saying her thanks.
However, before Kyubei could touch the flower, the petals of the flower withered and fell down at the same time, leaving only a withered stem that no longer had any vitality...
...
"Hey, what is that? Are they deliberately picking a fight?"
"Yeah, what are those people doing here?"
...
Shinpachi listened to the comments of the guests with an expressionless face. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Tojo, who was standing not far away, had two beams of red light in his eyes...
"Oh no! Tojo's eyes are shooting lasers!" Shinpachi quickly reminded, "This is really bad! If we don't stop now, it will be terrible!"
...
"Uh... so many people have gathered here." Kyubei stood on the stage. Through the microphone that the waiter was holding, she slowly said, "It was so sudden that I felt very surprised. I'm very grateful that everyone came here for me."
As she spoke, Kyubei bowed gently, and at the same time, the guests applauded.
"Okay. Then we'll do giving presents before we start eating" The host smiled and continued, "Guests who have presents to give to the young master, please come forward."
"Sister! We can only take advantage of this time to redeem our reputation!" Shinpachi stood up and looked at Otae with a serious expression, "Bring it up! Take that cake as a gift!"
"But..." Otae turned to look at the guests who were offering luxury gifts to Kyubei one after another and then looked at the ordinary little cake in front of her, "Everyone's gifts are so luxurious, but ours is so ordinary... I feel embarrassed to take such an unremarkable cake."
"What are you talking about? Isn't this cake made for Kyubei?" Shinpachi said angrily, "She will definitely be very happy."
"That's right, gifts are not based on the price," Gintoki said as he took out a brand new notebook from his pocket, "They're about feelings!"
(The notebook Gintoki took out is the most popular notebook for kids. Cost approximately 100 yen or 1 US dollar.)
"Where are the feelings in your present?" Shinpachi retorted.
"Somewhere around the 32nd page," Gintoki replied.
"How would I know that?!"
"Hey, Gintoki, you're too perfunctory. This kind of thing can't express your feelings at all," Kawaki said with a serious face as he crossed his arms. Then, he took out a hand-painted greeting card that looked like it was made by a primary school student, "You have to do it yourself like me!"
"You are no different from him at all!!"
