Kapitel 204: Today’s Affairs Are Over, Happy New Year.
Just as Kawaki and Gintoki turned around and took a few steps with Kagura, Kondo's scream suddenly came from behind them.
Kagura stopped first and turned to look behind. Kawaki and Gintoki also stopped and turned around, only to see that Bubbles was crazily chasing after Kondo.
"Their relationship is really good." Kawaki sighed with emotion.
"Which eye did you see that they like on good terms!" Gintoki shouted, "No matter how you look at it, he is being hunted!"
"No, that was clearly the owner and his pet chasing each other." Kawaki retorted, then turned around again, "Well, it has nothing to do with us. Let's go."
"Speaking of which, did we forget something?" Gintoki crossed his arms and supported his chin with one hand.
"What nonsense are you saying again?" Kawaki glanced at Gintoki in surprise, "Let's leave quickly. By the way, Kagura-chan, I'll treat you to barbecue today."
"Eh?! Really?!" Kagura cheered.
"Ah, it can be considered as thanks to you guys." As he spoke, Kawaki took the lead and left. Kagura hurriedly followed.
As for Gintoki, Gintoki pondered on the spot for a moment but could not remember what he had forgotten. In the end, he also followed.
...
In front of the restaurant.
"I still think we seem to have forgotten something," Gintoki muttered as he glanced at the entrance behind him.
"Now that you mention it, I feel the same way..." Kawaki nodded, "I feel like something is missing, but I feel like there is nothing missing..."
"I feel that there is no difference from the usual-aru." Kagura replied, then continued with an excited face, "Let's hurry up and eat barbecue-aru! The three of us will go together!"
"I really don't know what to do with you," Kawaki smiled, "Then let's go."
"It just happens to be lunchtime," said Gintoki, "I will empty you today."
The three of them turned around and left. However, after taking two steps, Gintoki and Kawaki suddenly reacted. The two of them looked at each other.
'Wait! Three people? Where is Shinpachi?!'
"No, it's okay," Kawaki hurriedly explained, "Shinpachi just said that he was going to the toilet. I didn't forget his existence on purpose."
"Actually, I did the same." Gintoki rubbed the back of his head and forced a smile, "I didn't forget about Shinpachi's existence. I just... that... you know, right? Kawaki."
"Ah, I know, I know. It's that, right? That one often appears, right?" After saying that, Kawaki smiled awkwardly.
"..." Kagura narrowed her eyes and looked at Gintoki and Kawaki speechlessly, "Hey, the two of you are so nervous I can see it at a glance."
"You have the nerve to talk about us?!" Gintoki retorted, "You've forgotten it even cleaner than us! There is only barbecue left in your mind!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Kawaki quickly separated the two of them, "Well, let's stop arguing now. Let's go back and bring Shinpachi out. But then again, why did he take so long to go to the toilet?"
"It must be a huge lump of poop-aru," Kagura analyzed.
"That's really hard work." Kawaki sighed.
...
At this time, Shinpachi had just walked out of the toilet, but he still looked a little lost.
"Where did sister go? Did she really go on a date?" Shinpachi muttered to himself as he walked, "But... who else would like my flat-chested violent sister besides Kondo-san?"
"Did she just go shopping?" Shinpachi nodded, "There must be nothing wrong! She must have gone shopping! No one would like my sister except that gorilla! Shinpachi, you have to have confidence in your sister! How can your sister not return home at night just because of a man of unknown origins?"
Then, Shinpachi took out the envelope that Kawaki had just given him. When he opened it, his eyes instantly lit up, "Speaking of which, Kawaki-san gave me quite a lot every time. It was the same with Seita last time. This time, it was also the same. Kawaki-san has always taken care of me. My Sister also has always been working hard for our family. Maybe she was too tired today, so she went out to relax."
Then, Shinpachi made a decision and revealed a relieved smile. He said to himself, "Alright! Today, I will take this money to buy a hundred Baagen-Dazs for my sister!"
However, just as he finished speaking, Shinpachi heard a female voice coming from the room in front of him, and it sounded a little familiar.
Curiosity drove Shinpachi to walk toward the room.
When he arrived at the door of the room, Shinpachi curiously sneaked a glance at the room, but it was also this glance that made Shinpachi stunned...
"Stop it!" Feeling the discomfort on her lips, Otae quickly pushed Kyubei away. However, Otae immediately saw Shinpachi standing at the door and hurriedly explained, "Shin... Shin-chan, no, Shin-chan, this is..."
Finally, Shinpachi woke up from his shock. After looking at the two of them, he roared angrily, "What are you two doing!"
As he spoke, Shinpachi directly rushed in, grabbed Kyubei by the collar, and shouted, "You bastard... What are you doing to my unmarried sister?!"
"Shin-chan..." Otae wanted to say something but was interrupted by Kyubei.
"You are Shinpachi-kun. It seems that you still can't leave your sister until now. Isn't it about time you..." As he spoke, Kyubei directly broke away from Shinpachi's hand and threw him away, "... learn how to be independent?"
"Shin-chan!" Otae hurriedly rushed forward and helped Shinpachi up, "Are you alright?"
"It's time for you to leave," Kyubei turned around and said to Shinpachi, "It's precisely because you like this that Tae-chan became worried and didn't dare to leave the house."
"You..." Shinpachi finally dug out the information of the man wearing an eyepatch in the depths of his memory, "Kyubei, you are Yagyu Kyubei... You suddenly appeared and said some inexplicable words. What do you mean by leaving the house?"
"Literally." Kyubei replied casually, "You may not know, but Tae-chan and I made a promise to become husband and wife when we were young. She is my fiancee and has always been. Today, I will take her to the Yagyu family."
"Huh?"
"Your sister became mine and no longer yours a long time ago." Kyubei continued, "How to deal with my people? You are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks."
"What nonsense are you talking about? A promise when we were young? How can that kind of thing count?" Shinpachi argued strongly and then looked at Otae beside him, "Don't you think so, Sister?... Sister? Sister, why aren't you talking?"
At this time, Shinpachi noticed that Otae's expression was a little strange. If it were in normal times, Otae would definitely have gone mad. But today, Otae was very... quiet, terrifyingly quiet. Her eyes were absent-minded as if she had accepted a fate that should not belong to her... It seemed as if she had tacitly approved of Kyubei's words...
Otae forced a smile and said, "Shin-chan, I'm sorry, I..."
As she spoke, Otae stood up and slowly walked in front of Kyubei. She did not continue.
Looking at Otae's back, Shinpachi muttered in disbelief, "Sister... Why?"
However, at this moment, Kawaki's voice came from the door, "Here, here! Shinpachi is here! Really, Shinpachi. We have been looking for you for so long and have not found you. So you are here."
Then, Shinpachi saw Kawaki, Gintoki, and Kagura enter the door.
"What are you doing here-aru?" Kagura rushed in first, kicked Shinpachi away, and scolded, "Do you know that you delayed my time to eat barbecue?! You must give me half of your share today!"
"Then, leave the other half to me." Gintoki nodded and said.
"Barbecue? What are you talking about?" Shinpachi held his bleeding nose and stood up shakily, "Now is not the time to talk about this! There are more important things waiting for me to solve!"
"Could it be..." Kawaki murmured, "Is your constipation still not solved?"
"How is that possible!" Shinpachi shouted, then pointed to Otae and Kyubei, "This is the most important thing!"
At this time, Kawaki, Gintoki, and Kagura noticed Otae standing in the room and the man with an eyepatch next to her.
"Ah, did we come at the wrong time?" Kawaki scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Is the marriage partner this shorty?" Gintoki carefully sized up Kyubei, then looked at Otae, "Your taste is really unique, short and eyepatch."
"Is this the man Big Sis like?" Kagura asked, sizing Kyubei up, "Hey, are you Caesar?"
However, Kyubei did not say a word from beginning to end, and so did Otae.
"Gintoki, I keep feeling that something is wrong." Kawaki whispered to Gintoki, "If this were the usual Otae, she would have already gone mad, right?"
"That's the situation," Gintoki explained in a low voice, "It's said that women in love have no brains, and their IQ will drop. I didn't expect that the same is true for female gorillas in love..."
Otae finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She directly jumped up and kicked Gintoki away. After landing, she turned around again, leaving only her back view.
And Gintoki, who flew out, also happened to hit the head of Kondo, who was being chased by his pet in the courtyard. The latter was also smashed to the ground.
"It hurts; it looks like it was finally normal just now," Gintoki said at the same time as he got up.
"Eh? Miss Otae? Why is Miss Otae here?" Kondo, who was pressed under Gintoki's butt, finally found Otae in the room.
"Everyone..." Otae murmured. Then, she turned around with tears in her eyes and said to everyone, "Sayonara..."
...
"Alright! Cut!" Kawaki shouted, "Put away all the lights; it's time for the next segment."
"Wait a minute! I've just been brewing a good mood! Why do you want to stop!" Otae shouted.
"Because there is something very important, and it happens that everyone is wearing formal clothes today," Kawaki explained.
"The important thing is?" Shinpachi was puzzled.
"Actually, I was going to give readers a New Year's greeting at the end of the chapter yesterday, but..." Kawaki continued, "That's perfect for today."
Then, with Kawaki and Gintoki in the lead, the rest of the people knelt on the ground and lowered their heads at the same time.
"Happy New Year! Please take care of us this year too!"
