Yoshiwara.
In the morning, a good-for-nothing otaku, who played games all night, was lying on the futon in gray pajamas, sleeping soundly.
However, a young girl's shout came along with the shattering sound of Kawaki's door.
"Stupid little uncle, wake up-aru!" Kagura kicked the door open.
However, this was completely useless to Kawaki who was sleeping soundly. He even changed to a more comfortable sleeping position, holding the quilt with a serene face.
"Good-for-nothing little uncle, get up!" Kagura pulled open the bedroom door and shouted at the same time with her hands on her waist.
However, there was still no reaction from Kawaki.
"I said get up!" At the same time as Kagura roared, she ran straight to Kawaki and kicked him out of the window.
"AH!!!!" Kawaki's scream came from outside the window.
A woman with a scar on her face who had just arrived at Kawaki's room and was about to wake him up saw the broken door and Kawaki's scream that had just been heard. She frowned slightly.
After a pause, Tsukuyo stepped into the room and slowly walked to Kawaki's bedroom. However, after opening the door, she found that the room with a wide-open window was empty. Kawaki's clothes were still hanging on the hanger, and the quilt on the tatami was missing.
Seeing this, Tsukuyo walked to the window and looked down slightly. He saw that Kagura was constantly stepping on Kawaki, who was still sleeping soundly, wrapped in a quilt.
"Tsukki," Kagura looked up and waved her hand, "Today, I will borrow this stupid little uncle."
"Okay," Tsukuyo responded softly and nodded slightly. Then, she slowly turned around, picked up the clothes on the hanger and the umbrella on the side, and threw them out towards the window. After doing all this, she turned around and left. Unlike a good-for-nothing otaku, she still had a lot of work to do.
Downstairs, Kagura stuffed all the clothes and umbrellas on the ground into the quilt. Then, she directly picked up Kawaki who was still sleeping. Then, she turned around and walked away. But for some reason, Kagura today had a kind of energy that she had never had before. However, Kawaki, who was sleeping soundly, could not notice it...
...
Feeling the strange or familiar feeling on his face, Kawaki opened his eyes and cursed, "What are you doing?! Tsu..."
However, when he saw the person who was trampling on him, Kawaki paused and asked expressionlessly, "Hey, why is it you? Kagura-chan."
"Phew~ You finally woke up-aru." Kagura wiped the sweat from her forehead and then pretended to be full of energy again, "Get up! Stupid little uncle!"
Looking at the slightly strange ceiling above his head, it took Kawaki a second to understand where he was now. It was no longer his bedroom. This was Yorozuya.
After about two seconds of thinking, Kawaki closed his eyes again. After a while, the snoring rang again.
"Don't go back to sleep!" Kagura kicked Kawaki out of Yorozuya's window with the quilt.
"AHHH!!"
...
Yorozuya.
Kawaki put on his clothes and borrowed Yorozuya's sink to wash up a little. Then he lay down on Yorozuya's sofa and began to lie down. However, unlike Kawaki, Kagura was full of energy. Even when cooking in the kitchen, she hummed and shook her head.
"Kagura-chan, where are Gintoki and Shinpachi?" Kawaki asked a little bored.
"Commission-aru!"
"Ah, so it's like that..." Kawaki lazily replied as he lay on the sofa. However, Kawaki immediately thought of something, "No way! Then why don't you go? Isn't Yorozuya the three of you?"
"Because of commission-aru!" Kagura walked out with the rice cooker and a basket of raw eggs and placed them on the table.
"What do you mean?" Kawaki sat up and narrowed his eyes.
"Because there is another commission-aru! I personally accepted it!" Kagura had one hand on her waist and the other hand on her chest, her face full of pride.
After being speechless for a while, Kawaki shifted his gaze away. He reached out and placed a bowl of rice in front of him. At the same time, he picked up an egg and propped up his chin with one hand. He said bitterly, "I can only bear with it today, let's eat eggs, I hope I won't have diarrhea..."
"Hey! Did little uncle listen to me-aru?!" Kagura was a little dissatisfied. She slapped the table heavily and then pointed at herself and said word by word, "I said, I, took, over, a, commission, by, myself!"
"Yes, Yes, I heard it, I heard it," Kawaki waved his hand and casually made a fool of himself. Then, he raised the egg into the light and frowned as he asked softly, "Um, is there really no problem with this egg? It's not expired, right? Speaking of which, do you really have fresh eggs in your home? If you eat non-fresh, sterile eggs, you will have diarrhea..."
Ignoring Kawaki's nagging, Kagura raised her fist and expressionlessly beat Kawaki up to the ceiling.
...
Kawaki sat on the sofa with a bloody nose and a swollen face. He looked expressionlessly at the girl who had turned her anger into appetite and was eating rice. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I know, I know. I'm sorry, Kagura-chan."
"Hmph!"
"That's really amazing." Kawaki feigned an exaggerated expression and said, "It's really amazing to accept a commission by myself~ I definitely can't do it, no, no one can do it, right? It's amazing, Kagura-chan has surpassed us without knowing it~ "
After saying that, Kawaki even deliberately let out a long sigh.
"Well, just so-so," Kagura replied with a grunt, but the pride on her face that couldn't be hidden expressed the joy in Kagura's heart.
'Kids are really easy to coax...' Kawaki thought to himself.
"Well, although I'm asking this question knowingly, little uncle also has a question he wants to ask Kagura-chan." Kawaki narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
Kagura raised her head and wiped the rice at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Kawaki with a puzzled expression.
Kawaki smiled and raised his index finger. He smiled and asked, "Then, why did you drag me here from my room? Just to let me praise you?"
"No." Kagura shook her head.
Hearing this, the expression on Kawaki's face suddenly changed. He shouted, "Then why did you do that?! I was so sleepy because I played games all night yesterday! Why did you have to drag me out?! Hey!"
"Because..." Kagura put down her chopsticks and began to twist them, but then her expression changed. She crossed her hands and snorted, frowning and complaining, "That glasses is really annoying recently... He said that he completed a commission alone and something like that. What is he so proud of? He is just glasses! Tsk!"
(Er... Readers who don't understand can go back to Chapter 282.)
"Hey, you didn't get to the main point at all, right?" Kawaki commented expressionlessly.
"In short, I want to complete the commission alone-aru!" Kagura stood up and clenched her fists, "That's why I accepted a commission myself! And I told Gin-chan that I wanted to complete it by myself!"
"Ah, so that's how it is," Kawaki narrowed his eyes and looked at the energetic girl in front of him with a blank expression on his face, "So, why did you drag me out?"
Kagura did not answer and continued to stand there enthusiastically.
"Don't ignore me!" Kawaki roared, "Explain it to me properly! Why did you drag me out?! If you want to complete the task alone, go alone! Why did you drag irrelevant people into the water?!"
"Let's work hard together, Little Uncle!"
"Oh, please take care of me," Kawaki replied subconsciously, but in the next moment... "What the hell! Wasn't it you who said to complete the commission alone?! Why did we have to work together?! Where did that work together come from?! In the end, didn't you still need help from others?!"
Kagura remained silent, still looking straight at Kawaki with a pair of eyes that were burning with flames.
"Sigh, I give up." Kawaki held his forehead, "Just this once. Also, next month, your pocket money will be reduced..."
Without waiting for Kawaki to finish speaking, Kagura was the first to cheer, "Yeah! That's great! Also, after completing the mission this time, keep it a secret from Gin-chan and the other Little Uncle! I will definitely make them think that I completed it alone!"
"Listen to me completely! Why is there such a request? Are you a primary school student!" Kawaki raised his head and shouted.
But at this moment, Yorozuya's doorbell rang.
Ding dong, ding dong.
"It's here!" Kagura rushed to the entrance in an instant.
...
Kawaki sat on the sofa and looked expressionlessly at the old man sitting on the sofa opposite him who was about to bend into a boomerang. He was Kagura's client, the 50-year-old Old man Kitagawa.
Kagura walked over with a cup of tea and placed it in front of Old man Kitagawa. Then, she sat down beside Kawaki. Unlike Kawaki, Kagura had a serious expression on her face.
"In other words, there has been a crack in your marriage with your wife recently, right?" Kagura was the first to speak. She stared at Old man Kitagawa with a burning gaze.
"Yes... yes." Old man Kitagawa picked up the teacup with trembling hands, took a sip of tea, and put it back.
"Is it such a serious matter?" Kagura crossed her arms and nodded, "That's really distressing. Speaking of which, what exactly happened between you and your wife? Is it an affair? Is your wife cheating on you?!"
Just as Kagura finished speaking, Kawaki punched her in the head.
"It hurts!"
"Are you an idiot How could you cheat at this age!" Kawaki scolded in a low voice, "It's almost turned into a boomerang!"
As he spoke, Kawaki looked at Old man Kitagawa who was facing him. After coughing twice, he smiled and asked, "That, this child is not sensible. Don't mind him. Old man Kitagawa, right? Then what is going on? What exactly happened between you and your wife? In addition, it might be a little presumptuous. Can I ask your's and your wife's age?"

"Ah, I... I am already fifty-six years old..." Old man Kitagawa seemed to be a little out of breath when he spoke, and his voice was a little weak, "My wife is fifty-five years old..."
"So that's the case." Kawaki smiled and nodded, but his heart was not as relaxed as his face, 'What the hell! They are almost sixty years old and their life is not harmonious? Don't joke around! There is no way to start at all!'
"Well, is there anything wrong with your wife recently-aru?" Kagura asked, "For example, she often leaves the house with reasons such as business trips with the community chairman or so."
"Shut up!" Kawaki knocked on Kagura's head again.
However, Old man Kitagawa actually began to sob right at this moment.
Seeing Old man Kitagawa like this, Kawaki was shocked in his heart. He muttered in disbelief, "Could... could it be that what Kagura-chan guessed was true?"
"No... no," Old man Kitagawa said as he sobbed, "Actually, my wife has been very strange lately."
"Very strange? What do you mean?" Kawaki continued to ask.
Just as Kawaki asked, he saw Old man Kitagawa unexpectedly twist his hands. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his wrinkled face. He said intermittently, "Actually, my wife, she... my wife has been so cold to me recently~ Good night kiss, and such things are gone~ I'm so distressed~ Woooooo~ Is she in a cold period? Does she not like me anymore?"
As he said this, Old man Kitagawa stretch out his two index fingers at the same time and touched them together. He looked at Kawaki with tears in his eyes, "Because, such and such behaviors are gone~ What should I do, Woooooo... "
Hearing this, Kawaki and Kagura's faces were very tacit, and veins popped out at the same time.
"It doesn't matter at all!" Kawaki and Kagura shouted at the same time.
"Eh?! What do you mean it doesn't matter at all! Haven't you already accepted the commission?!" Old man Kitagawa shouted angrily, but just as he finished speaking, he began to pant and point to his chest with a painful expression, "Medicine... medicine..."
Seeing this, Kawaki quickly got up and helped Old man Kitagawa to the sofa. He took out the medicine from his bosom and poured two pills for Old man Kitagawa to take.
After doing all of this, the pain on Old man Kitagawa's face gradually subsided.
"Phew~" Kawaki wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with lingering fear, "I almost committed the crime of intentional homicide..."
As he spoke, Kawaki glanced at Kagura who was still sitting on the sofa with an eager look. He sighed and complained, "I say, can you accept some normal commissions? How can you complete such commissions?"
"Little brother, are you going to refuse me, an uncle who is about to be buried?" Old man Kitagawa woke up and looked at Kawaki with tears again.
"Do you really think of yourself as an uncle?" The corners of Kawaki's eyes twitched as he complained, "You are already an old man. We really don't know what to do about the marriage crisis between the old man and the old lady!"
"WOOOOO!" Old man Kitagawa cried again, "Nowadays, young people really don't know how to respect the old and love the young. They only care about their own happiness. They don't care about the affairs of the elderly. What a sick society! Woooo... "
"Don't say that it's all the fault of this society!" Kawaki shouted, "It's really disgusting for an old grandpa to be like this! Hurry up and stop!"
"I really want to die. What's the point of living like this!" Old man Kitagawa cried even harder on the sofa.
"Hey! Kagura-chan, say a few words to the commission you accepted!" Kawaki looked at Kagura, who was holding her hands, and closed her eyes. Her face was solemn and seemed to be deep in thought.
Just as Kawaki finished speaking, Old man Kitagawa suddenly stopped crying. Kawaki turned around and saw Old man Kitagawa's face was green.
"Hey! Hold on! Old man!" Kawaki hurriedly picked up the medicine bottle and poured out two more capsules. He opened Old man Kitagawa's mouth and stuffed it in. Then, he poured tea water in.
Then, Kawaki turned Old man Kitagawa over and began to massage his back. After a full two minutes, Old man Kitagawa slowly recovered.
"Phew~" Kawaki wiped the sweat on his forehead again, "Old man, I think you should not come to Yorozuya, but to the hospital. Can you please stop tormenting us? The kind of distress you are talking about, it doesn't matter at all, right?"
"How can it doesn't matter!" Old man Kitagawa turned his head and retorted, "We are husband and wife! We must always be kind and loving, right?!"
"Think about your age." Kawaki sighed heavily.
"No! I don't want to consider my age at all!" Old man Kitagawa retorted tearfully, "I want to maintain that sticky relationship with my wife forever! I don't want to be like this anymore. I have lost the motivation to live!"
Looking at the old man who began to cry again, there were several black lines on Kawaki's forehead. On the other hand, Kagura quietly stood up and crept toward the door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Kawaki looked at Kagura, who was about to reach the door, expressionlessly, "Do you want to run away alone?"
"I just remembered that the vinegared kelp at home was finished, so I want to go to the convenience store to buy some-aru." Kagura turned around and explained, "I definitely didn't want to sneak away! Absolutely!"
"Do you think I believe you?!" Kawaki shouted, "Come over here!"
Hearing this, Kagura turned her face away and spat softly. Then, she reluctantly walked over and sat down.
Looking at Old man Kitagawa who was still crying and shouting, Kawaki held his forehead and sat down again. He said somewhat speechlessly, "Although I did hear that the number of [beep——] couples living in disharmony is increasing recently, but..."
As he spoke, Kawaki raised his head and looked at Old man Kitagawa, who was hammering the sofa opposite him, "But he is too old! Hey, don't think about sneaking away again."
Kagura, who had just stood up, could only sit down again.
"Um, Old Man Kitagawa, can you please stop first?" Kawaki shouted helplessly.
However, Old man Kitagawa acted as if he was doing it on purpose and cried even harder.
"Hey! Stop!" Kawaki shouted, "How much longer do you have to make a scene? We will help!"
"Really?" Old man Kitagawa wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sat up to look at Kawaki.
"Ah, really," Kawaki replied impatiently, "Moreover, let's get to the point first. This is the first time we've faced such a situation. It's hard to say if we can help you..."
Just as Kawaki finished speaking, Old man Kitagawa started crying again. However, this time, he was so moved that he cried out.
"Don't cry! If you continue crying, I can only call an ambulance!" Kawaki hurriedly shouted.
"Little uncle, are you really going to help this grandpa-aru?" Kagura turned to look at the somewhat frantic Kawaki and asked.
"There's no other way. I can only go." Kawaki sighed helplessly, "Speaking of which, wasn't this commission your own? Why do you look like it has nothing to do with you? Hey!"
"Because the life of an old man and an old lady is a field that I have never come into contact with," Kagura replied without thinking.
"Don't talk as if I have come into contact with it!"
"Then has little uncle already thought of where to start?" Kagura asked again.
"I have no choice. I should ask the old lady downstairs about this." Kawaki replied somewhat helplessly, "If it's someone of the same age, there might be some good suggestions."
...
Otose Store.
"Well, that's what happened." Kawaki sat at the front desk and glanced at Old man Kitagawa who was twisting and pinching at the side. Then he looked at Otose who was standing at the counter, "Old lady, do you have any suggestions?"
"You woke me up because of this matter?!" Otose shouted, "We don't open for business during the day! Why should I listen to an old man complain here?! My beauty sleep has been destroyed, bastard!"
"After all, among all the people I know, only you can help and be considerate, Otose." Kawaki looked at Otose with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Put away your expression. Do you think I am a little girl who doesn't know anything?" Otose cursed, "Forget it. Since you are sincerely begging me, I will be merciful and help you."
Then, Otose looked at Old man Kitagawa who was sitting in front of her, and asked, "Hey, that old man over there, where's the fuse? What's the reason for your relationship with your wife to fade? There should be a reason, right?"
"I don't know..." Old man Kitagawa shook his head.
"How can you not know? This attitude is really infuriating." Otose spat angrily, "Men are all like this. They don't notice anything, that's why they make women angry."
Old man Kitagawa was silent for a while, and then he said, "As we grow older, the heart-pounding feeling when we look at each other becomes less and less, and when we find out, it's completely..."
Old man Kitagawa took a sip of the tea and frowned as he complained, "She's really heartless."
"Wait a minute," Otose frowned and said, "What you said just now seemed to be saying that all the mistakes were on your wife."
"Huh? Really?"
"I think so too, it's all in the tone of [All the faults are because my wife rejects me]," Kawaki interjected.
"Me to-aru," Kagura raised her hand in agreement.
"But we are husband and wife." Old man Kitagawa replied matter-of-factly.
"That's the point!" Kawaki and Kagura pointed at Old man Kitagawa at the same time.
"What do you mean?" Old man Kitagawa was puzzled.
"You bastard," Otose crossed her arms and looked at Old man Kitagawa unhappily, "Why do you take it for granted that your wife likes you? Isn't it a bit too much?"
