章 342: The World Is Very Big, So Anything Is Possible!

"Rei" The proprietress, Oiwa, who had arrived at some unknown time, came up to Gintoki and looked at Rei beside him, "Don't try to encourage others with unnecessary delusions. Do you want this man to die early?"

As she spoke, Oiwa looked at Gintoki who was on the ground. She curled her lips and said in a condescending manner, "It's a pity, boy. The three men in brief were already under my control a long time ago. Who do you think saved the three of them from Kawaki-kun? Don't think I'm just an ordinary Stand user. If you want to be my enemy, it is tantamount to making an enemy of this place! If you want to defeat me, go find the strongest Stand! But that is also nonsense. In this Senboukyou, there is no one who stands on your side. Even if you die, you can only live here and work for me!"

After saying that, Oiwa laughed and Gintoki just silently gritted his teeth and stared at the proprietress.

...

After this incident, Gintoki was locked up by the proprietress in a dilapidated prison cell in a corner that no one was paying attention to.

Gintoki leaned against the wall, lowered his head, and closed his eyes as he thought, 'Strongest Stand... Strongest partner... That thing... ]

At this moment, Shinpachi's voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah? What are you doing in this place?"

Gintoki was shocked and quickly raised his head. He saw Kagura, Otae, Shinpachi, and Tsukuyo, who had become a Stand for some unknown reason, standing in front of him!

"Finally awake-aru?" Kagura waved her hand in front of Gintoki, "That's great. Little uncle seems to be unable to see us."

The corners of Gintoki's lips curled up, and his eyes once again shone with intense cold light, "It's right in front of me!"

...

At the same time, the proprietress grabbed Rei and came to a room at the end of a corridor. After opening the door, she threw Rei in and fell on the floor.

"Let your head calm down a little here, Rei," the proprietress looked at Rei, and said slowly, "You've really done something incredible. I didn't expect you to betray me."

"I didn't betray you..."

"What nonsense! Who are you relying on to live such a decent life here?"

"I didn't volunteer to work here. It was you..."

Without waiting for Rei to finish, Oiwa shouted with a ferocious face, "Shut up! We've been together for a long time, so you're getting off easily. Otherwise, I would have killed you off and your little soul, too! You should be thankful I had mercy on you!"

Rei lowered her head and muttered, "This... is wrong."

"Huh?"

"I said, this is wrong!" Rei raised her head and said, "You used to be..."

Before she could finish speaking, a wave of air suddenly rushed straight at Rei.

Seeing that the proprietress' Stand [TAGOSAKU] had opened his mouth wide and was constantly putting pressure on Rei, Rei did not continue.

"Don't say anymore," At this time, the proprietress said indifferently, "Otherwise, even if it is you, I will never forgive you."

"Proprietress, you and this place have changed."

"Nothing has changed! We have been doing this all the time!" As she spoke, the proprietress closed the door.

"It's useless!" Rei rushed forward, slapping the door in front of her while shouting through the door, "Even if you lock me up, you will definitely not be able to stop him! He... he will definitely change this inn!"

The proprietress calmly took out a talisman from her bosom and pasted it on the door. At the same time, Rei was also repelled by a bolt of lightning and fell on the floor covered in wounds.

"What a pity, Rei," The proprietress chuckled and slowly said, "That guy is already a domestic dog whose fangs have been pulled out!"

...

Hearing the proprietress' footsteps getting farther and farther away until they disappeared, Rei sat up, but there was no disappointment on her face.

After a while, there was suddenly a sound of approaching footsteps. The sound was not loud, and it could be heard that every step was very regular.

Rei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then stood up, waiting for the arrival of that man.

The footsteps stopped in front of the door then with a piercing sound, the entire talisman was torn off and the door was pulled open.

Looking at the back of the man who turned around again and slowly left, Rei was stunned for a moment, and then directly followed...

...

"How is it? The young man I sent?" Otose asked on the other side of the line, "Is there any help?"

"I'm asking you to send me some energetic ones but not a mad dog that will bite its owner back, Otose," Oiwa pretended to complain on the phone.

"It seems that he is a little too energetic." Otose asked indifferently, "But isn't it more suitable for you to be a vicious dog than the well-behaved Maltese?"

Hearing this, the proprietress slightly raised the corner of her mouth, "I guess so. But my hand was also bitten very badly, so the introduction fee can only be paid half of the agreed amount."

"Don't go back on your word! This is your own mistake, right? I lent someone to you when you didn't have enough people. The money has to be paid according to the agreement."

"Not only did I get a defective product and have to help you train it, I even want you to pay." The proprietress scolded with a smile.

"Train?"

"Ah, yes. I made him suffer a little." The proprietress replied casually, "He became obedient and docile all of a sudden. It seems that he likes this place a lot. He said that he doesn't want to go back. What should I do?"

"Wait a minute. I agreed to only lend you those guys for ten days."

"But he himself said that. I can do nothing if he doesn't want to go back." The proprietress said with some distress.

Otose thought of something and gently puffed out a cloud of cigarette smoke. She slowly said, "Oiwa... could it be that you... have taken a fancy to him?"

After a moment of silence, the proprietress replied, "It seems there is no use hiding it from you. Where did you catch that man? Recapture my trusted subordinates in such a short period of time and attempt to rebel. This is not something that an ordinary person can do. Although it was not completely useless now, if that man was trained, he would become an incredible monster! The only person who could inherit my position was him!"

After a pause, the proprietress continued, "Otose. Back then, you stole away your husband-to-be. But this time, I get to take the man. That guy is already my dog. That man will work in this inn for the rest of his life! Ahahahaha..."

"Hehehe..." Otose, on the other side of the line, also laughed, "That helps me. As long as you send the woman and child back to me, it's fine. You can like that guy as you like. He likes to stir up trouble and does not pay rent. There is nothing happier than his disappearance. However, I will give you a piece of advice. That man is not so easy to deal with."

"Hmph, I have already taught him a lesson. Even if he wants to bite me, he has no fangs anymore." The proprietress replied disapprovingly, "Also, there is an unexpected guest here. I will let the woman and the children follow him back. Don't worry."

"An unexpected guest?"

"Ah, a man that can't see spirit, an old acquaintance," Replied the proprietress. Then, she sighed with emotion, "It's really incredible. I didn't expect that there would be such a person in this world who couldn't even see the existence of spirit in my place. When I see him, I always can't stop feeling that we are extremely opposite. I was born with the ability to see spirits while he never noticed a spirit. I didn't expect that there were people who were completely opposite in this world."

"It is indeed incredible." Otose gently smoked, "Well, there is nothing more to say. But in the end, I still want to remind you that regarding Gintoki, it is useless to break many of his teeth. The most you can train to be obedient is at the level of a beast, but that guy is not a beast, but a monster!"

Just then, an employee of the inn ran over and stopped in front of Oiwa to report, "Proprietress! Gin broke out of the punishment room and escaped!"

"That's what I told you. You'd better be careful. Toot... Toot... Toot..." After leaving the last sentence, Otose hung up the phone.

The proprietress looked at the Stand in disbelief. She was silent for a long time before putting down the phone. Then she gathered a group of Stand and ordered anxiously, "Search! He can't go down the mountain! He must be hiding somewhere in this inn! Search this inn for me!"

...

'Gin! How did he escape from the punishment room?!' The proprietress was sweating profusely as she ran down the corridor to look for Gintoki. She was thinking to herself, 'I have already sealed up Rei with a talisman. The other guys should still be playing UNO cards in a dependent state. Kawaki-kun has been staying underground and being monitored. That guy should have no companions! Then why on earth...'

But suddenly, the proprietress noticed something and immediately stopped. She was looking at the group of Stand lying on the ground with a look of disbelief on her face.

At this time, these Stands were lying on the ground weakly, and their bodies began to emit light as if they were about to disappear.

Then, the proprietress noticed something and walked to the door of the half-closed room. She then peeked in through the gap between the door.

She saw that Otae and the others, who had already become spirit bodies, were cooperating with Gintoki to let the Stand ascend to heaven.

At this time, the proprietress finally understood that Gintoki already knew the real way to defeat the Stand! Yes! You don't need muscle and intelligence to defeat Stands. All you need was sympathy, consideration, or kindness!

Inside the room, looking at the Stand that had turned into white smoke and headed to heaven, Gintoki's face showed a bit of reluctance, and tears also fell down.

"Everyone..." Gintoki clenched the shamisen in his hand, and shouted with a sad face on his back, "I won't forget any of you after you enter the afterlife! May you rest in peace! I'm going to sing a song! Sen no Kaze ni Natte / A Thousand Winds."
