Yorozuya.
"The hard day is over~" Gintoki put down the Jump in his hand and rubbed his eyes. Then he sat up from the sofa, "Who is on duty for dinner today?"
[Foreign Voice]: What is a hard day! You didn't do anything at all! You just read Jump on the sofa for a whole day!
"It's me!" Kagura raised her hand and said. Then, she moved an electric rice cooker to the dining table, "Today's dinner is Tamago Kake Gohan-aru!"
"Even if you like Tamago Kake Gohan, you don't have to eat it three meals a day, right?" Gintoki was a little helpless, but he also compromised, "Forget it; since it's Tamago Kake Gohan, then Tamago Kake Gohan it is."
...
After dinner.
"I feel like something is wrong..." Gintoki muttered.
"Actually, I also have this feeling..." Kagura cupped her hands and nodded.
"I feel like something is missing, but I also feel like there is nothing missing..." Gintoki supported his chin with his hand and pondered for a while. Finally, he raised his hand and clapped, "I understand!"
"Hey, Shinpachi, it's not a good habit not to eat dinner." Gintoki looked at the glasses on the table and a bowl of white rice in front of it.
[Foreign Voice(Three Dimensional Glasses)]: Which eye did you use to tell that I am Shinpachi?! Shinpachi is not here at all!
"Today, Shinpachi feels something wrong, Gin-chan." Kagura pointed to the glasses on the table and said to Gintoki.
"What nonsense are you saying? Other than eating a little less, isn't it exactly the same as usual?" Gintoki dug his nose with a look of disapproval.
"That makes sense." Kagura nodded.
[Foreign Voice]: I already said it wasn't Shinpachi! How many times do you want me to tell you? Shinpachi has a very important part to play today!
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by a very important part?" Gintoki looked at the glasses on the table with an unkind expression. At the same time, Kagura also rubbed her hands and showed an unfriendly look...
[Foreign Voice]: Gulp(swallows saliva), can you put that hammer down first and then let's talk?
Then, the sound of Foreign Voice's screams and glasses shattering echo from Yorozuya...
...
[Foreign Voice who was lying on the ground]: Anyway, it's like this. Shinpachi-kun has a very important part in the scene because Yorozuya will be short of retorter, so...
"It's true. He actually added a scene for himself in this way. That bastard glasses!" Gintoki gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you know who the protagonist is? And that bastard author actually deleted my scenes!"
"Speaking of which, what does an author look like? I feel a little curious." Kagura asked curiously.
[Foreign Voice]: I can tell you this.
Then, Gintoki and Kagura saw a photo in front of the glasses on the table.
"Is this... a gorilla-aru?"
"Ah, it is undoubtedly a gorilla."
Gintoki nodded and said, "To be precise, it is a three-dimensional gorilla."
"Why is the author a gorilla-aru?"
"The author is such a creature. In general..." Gintoki extended a finger and said solemnly, "... they are all gorillas. "
"So that's how it is..."
(End of Small Theater)
-----Dividing Line-----
The main chapter began.
[Foreign Voice]: The country of Samurai, our country has been called this...
"Wait a minute!" Shinpachi shouted with veins popping out, "That was my line! It was mine! Wasn't it enough for you to appear in the small theater just now?! Why are you still stealing my lines in the main chapter?! Do you believe that I will really smash you!"
[Foreign Voice]: Ah... sorry, sorry, I can't help myself...
"Then let's do it again!"
...
"Speaking of which, is it true?" Shinpachi asked doubtfully, "The matter of Tama killing Dr. Hiyashi..."
"Dr. Hiyashi... Wait a minute..." Toshiro suddenly thought of something and then carefully sized up Tama, "No wonder it looks familiar. So this is the suspect of the case."
"A case? Could it be that Shinsengumi is responsible for Dr. Hiyashi's case?" Shinpachi was shocked.
"Yes, I was in charge of it." Toshiro nodded, then lit a cigarette and took a puff, "I guess I didn't run away for nothing today. By accident, I still caught the suspect. For this reason, I won't pursue the responsibility of you two today."
"Hahahaha..." Kawaki suddenly laughed. He pointed at Shinpachi and Toshiro and said, "Are you two idiots? Have you seen too many sci-fi movies? How can a robot kill people?"
"That's true. How could a robot kill someone?" Shinpachi said with an embarrassed smile, "And Dr. Hiyashi was the one who created Tama."
"Although that's the case, it's not impossible," Toshiro said, "The results of the investigation and all the evidence pointed to this guy."
"What are you talking about? Witness?" Kawaki sneered, "Those guys want to get rid of Tama more than you guys do."
"The problem lies here. There are still many suspicious points about the case, and..." Toshiro wanted to say something but stopped.
"And?" Shinpachi looked at Toshiro with a puzzled face.
"All the surveillance cameras have been destroyed," Toshiro replied and then looked at Tama, "At present, there is only a witness, and the witness identifies this guy as the murderer."
"Witness? Is it that ordinary uncle?" Kawaki said disdainfully.
"You know?!" It was Toshiro's turn to be shocked.
"Ah, he was with those robot maids who were chasing us, but... he seemed to have been killed," Kawaki replied.
"Killed? What do you mean by kill?" Shinpachi murmured.
Kawaki was just about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by Tama.
"According to the data record, the doctor once said that he wanted to become a robot, but I don't understand," Tama said.
"He wants to become a robot? That Dr. Hiyashi?" Shinpachi asked in disbelief, "Why? Why would humans want to become robots?"
"I have checked the data. The data is missing, and I can't answer." Tama continued.
"Now the clue is broken again..." Shinpachi murmured.
"May I ask if there are any mechanical technicians nearby?" Tama continues, "To be safe, a backup memory zone was set up. However, the zone was tightly sealed. If you can open it, the memory will be restored. Perhaps you may be able to get data related to the doctor."
"Although I don't understand, we still have to go to old man Gengai again." Just as Shinpachi finished speaking, he suddenly realized something. He looked at Toshiro with a face full of horror, 'Not good! I subconsciously said it! Old man Gengai is a wanted criminal! Not good! Hijikata-san heard it!'
"Hey, what happened to you?" Toshiro looked at Shinpachi, who was covered in a cold sweat, and asked, "Are you out of oxygen? Or are you too hungry?"
'That's great! Looks like it wasn't exposed!' Only then did Shinpachi heave a sigh of relief.
"In short, split into two groups. Shinpachi finds a way to recover Tama's memories. V-shaped bangs and I will stay behind to cover the rear." Kawaki suggested.
"Eh? Why don't we just go together?" Just as Shinpachi finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of orderly footsteps coming from above his head.
"Hurry up and go." Toshiro finished smoking the cigarette, then crushed the cigarette butt. Then, he pulled off his coat and threw it to Shinpachi. He then pulled out his sword, "I also want to move a little."
"Hey, we arrived at the church." Kawaki glanced at Tama, who was on his arm.
"Why?" Tama asked.
"What do you mean why?" Kawaki asked back.
"Why do you want to help me? I am just a robot."
"Should I say that it was a whim or a busybody..." Kawaki muttered, "But there is only one thing I understand. A normal robot will not shed tears. Although I do not know if it is tears of regret for the deceased creator, or if it is other tears..."
"Tears?" Shinpachi was puzzled, "Did Tama shed tears?!"
"There should be a limit to how to fool people. How could that be possible?" Toshiro said disdainfully.
"Indeed, I also think it is incredible." Kawaki sighed softly and then looked at Tama in his arm, "Maybe this guy really has some secret... I am also curious."
After saying that, Tama released Kawaki's arm, and Kawaki handed Tama over to Shinpachi.
"Kawaki-san, Hijikata-san..." Shinpachi hugged Tama's head and looked at the backs of Kawaki and Toshiro as he muttered.
"Although it's troublesome, this time..." Kawaki stretched his neck and pulled out the umbrella at his waist.
"I got it!" After responding, Shinpachi decisively turned around and left.
...
"Hey, hey, don't drag me down. Otherwise, you will really be imprisoned on the charge of obstructing law enforcement." Toshiro snorted and said.
"You are." Kawaki narrowed his eyes and replied.
Then, the two of them looked at each other, raised their weapons at the same time, and smashed down on the manhole cover above their heads...
Boom!!!
...
"Curious? Human curiosity is really hard to understand." Tama said.
"No, it's not that kind of thing." Shinpachi hugged Tama's head and explained while running, "Kawaki-san is not the kind of person who would do such a thing because of that."
"Then why?"
"To be honest, I'm not sure either. Kawaki-san's character is even more unpredictable than Gin-san's." Shinpachi thought for a moment and replied, "But there is one thing I can confirm..."
"What is it?"
Before Shinpachi could answer, he saw the Robot Shop's door not far away. He was overjoyed and said, "Great!"
...
Robot Shop.
"Old man Gengai!" Shinpachi held Tama's head and rushed into Robot Shop and shouted anxiously.
Old man Gengai, who was watching the TV, yawned and said without looking back, "Really, to make an elderly person wait until midnight, knowing that staying up late is the health's number one enemy."
