Capítulo 374: People Who Follow the Crowd Abound!
Just as Kawaki led Hyakka to start handing out coupons to the OTAKUs who came to participate in the competition, the host on the stage began to explain the rules of the preliminaries...
"Only those who truly love Otsuu-chan can win the honor of being Otsuu-chan Official Fan Club!" The host changed the subject, "However, there is no way to measure love! In that case, you'll have to show me your love!"
"Use your knowledge, stamina, and everything else you have to reach your beloved Otsuu-chan! The prelims will be a test of——Stamina!" As he spoke, the host pointed to Otsuu-chan, who had already boarded a helicopter and was waving at the contestants with a smile, "Otsuu-chan will now take a helicopter to Oedo TV!"
"It's the Oedo TV! Don't get it wrong!" The host reminded again, "We have a ten-kilometer course from the riverbed to Oedo TV. You'll have to run it. The first four people to reach Otsuu-chan... The teams those people belong to will earn the right to proceed to the final contest!"
"In other words, it doesn't matter if you have a slow ass on your team. As long as one member ranks in the top four, your team proceeds! But!" The host raised his voice, "Don't forget this. If anybody on the team gives up, that team is immediately disqualified!"
"Um, can Team Yoshiwara stop for a moment? What are you distributing to the participants?" The host looked at Kawaki and Hyakka sisters who were distributing coupons to the OTAKU one by one and reminded them, "Are you bribing the contestants? Although you are the sponsor, if this goes on, I can only cancel your qualifications. "
"No," Kawaki looked at the host on the stage, waved his hand, and shouted, "It's not bribery. The contestants here can testify for me!"
"It's not bribery!"
"It's just a notice for participating!"
"Host, don't talk nonsense!"
A group of OTAKU who had obtained coupons started to defend Kawaki. It seemed that they had already been bought over...
"Toshiro, that's great." A gorilla in the crowd held up the three-day free mayonnaise voucher that he had just received in his hand and patted the shoulder of a certain V-shaped bangs young man, "I exchange that shop discount coupon because of you, thank me!"
"Kondo-san..."
Toshiro took the voucher in Kondo's hand with a touched face.
However, when he saw the effective period marked on the voucher, the expression on his face suddenly changed...
Looking at Toshiro, who was holding the voucher with an expressionless face and his shoulders were still shaking slightly, Kondo asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Toshi, are you too happy?"
"Heh..." Toshiro raised his head with a ferocious expression. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Yes, I'm really too happy. This time, I will definitely kill that bastard!"
At this time, Kondo finally found the source of Toshiro's strange behavior... The effective period marked by the voucher in Toshiro's hand was - until ten minutes later!
"Now, I finally know why that guy participated in such a boring competition." Toshiro showed a fierce look, "That bastard... is definitely coming for me! He definitely wants to disrupt our plan! It's decided! This time we must settle it with him! Bastard!"
"Calm down! Toshi!" Kondo quickly comforted, "This is his scheme! You have to calm down, Toshi! You must not be disturbed by this kind of thing! You must not be defeated by this kind of conspiracy! Toshi! "
After saying this, a trace of disappointment appeared on Kondo's face. He muttered in a low voice, "If I had known earlier, I would have chosen discount coupons... really..."
...
At this time, the helicopter carrying Otsuu slowly rose and stopped on the heads of all the OTAKU who had come to participate in the competition.
"Everybody! Is everyone ready?" Otsuu shouted to the crowd below.
"Eh? Is it going to start? Is it going to start?!"
"But I don't even know what the rules of the preliminaries are! I was completely immersed in the excitement of obtaining the coupons!"
"Me too!"
"Me too..."
"Me too..."
All the contestants were whispering to each other...
"... Get into position~" Otsuu's voice sounded again, "Ready!"
At this time, the contestants finally realized that they were all standing at the starting line...
"Set! Go fish!"
Otsuu gave the order, and all the contestants rushed out one by one...
Of course, not all the contestants rushed out. There were also two teams that stopped in place for some unknown reason...
"I'm so tired. I gave out more than 4,000 coupons in such a short time~" Kawaki came in front of Gintoki and the others, stretched, and said.
Just as he finished speaking, Kawaki suddenly realized something. He turned his head and pointed at the group of OTAKUs who were running desperately. He asked doubtfully, "What are they doing? Is it because they are too excited to get the coupons? Can't wait to go to Yoshiwara's various shops?"
"This person hasn't heard a word about the preliminaries. Gin-san..." Shinpachi said as his lips twitched.
"Didn't I say it before? This guy hates rules the most." Gintoki waved his hand and casually replied, "Even if I repeat it many times, it will be useless. In the end, it will be entering the left ear and coming out to the right ear."
"Has the competition begun?!" Kawaki looked at Shinpachi and the others in shock.
"Yes, the competition has begun," Shinpachi replied helplessly.
"Then, what about the rules of the competition?" Kawaki asked again.
Just as Shinpachi was about to say something, Kagura covered his mouth.
At the same time, Gintoki picked up a map and pointed at the Oedo TV station marked on it. He looked at Kawaki and explained, "Here, the first person to get here by tram will pass the preliminaries! Come on!"
"I see..." Kawaki nodded, then took the map from Gintoki's hands and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Gintoki."
After saying that, Kawaki looked at the ladies behind him, "Have you heard clearly?! From now on, we will take the tram to here in batches!"
"I want to be in the same group as Kawaki-sama!"
"No, I want to squeeze together with Kawaki-sama in the crowded tram!"
"Take a basin of water and speak according to your appearance! Ugly monster! The one who will be squeezed with Kawaki-sama is me!"
"No, it should be me!"
Watching the group of Hyakka members who were pushing each other while walking further and further away, Shinpachi's face was already covered in black lines, and half of his face was twitching.
"Gin-san, what's the purpose of their participation in the competition?" Shinpachi retorted expressionlessly.
"Don't worry about it," Gintoki said as he dug his nose, "But we've already dealt with a team."
"Wait a minute!" Shinpachi suddenly reacted. His expression instantly changed as he looked at Kagura and Gintoki in disbelief, "Didn't you say that you wanted to form an alliance with Kawaki-san? Why..."
"Why?" Gintoki curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Of course, it's to sell the game in the luxury prize to him at a high price after winning the championship!"
"That's right-aru," Kagura smirked at the same time, "What I want, I have to rely on my own strength(money) to get-aru. Isn't this what little uncle just said-aru?"
After saying that, Kagura and Gintoki showed a treacherous expressions at the same time...
"Speaking of black-bellied, the two of you are not bad at all..." Shinpachi squinted his eyes and retorted expressionlessly.
After that, Shinpachi continued to remind him, "Gin-san, Kagura-chan, the competition has already begun. Let's hurry and set off. Everyone has already set off."
"Alright, let's go." As he spoke, Gintoki patted Kagura's head, "Stop giggling. Let's go."
With that, the four of them started running together...
...
Looking at the group of OTAKUs that were running desperately not far away, Gintoki curled his lips in disdain.
"Why do OTAKU have such a hard time understanding how to use their bodies?" Gintoki complained disdainfully while trotting "If they sprint at the very beginning, they're not going to last ten kilometers. You'll always find people who race off at the beginning and drop off later on like Yamcha...."
"Shin-chan, let's run together," Takaya, who was following beside Shinpachi, looked at Shinpachi and reminded him in a low voice, "Let's cross the line together."
"Uh…" Shinpachi curled the corners of his mouth and replied helplessly.
"Kagura, I'll leave the rest to you. I need to run slowly." As he spoke, Gintoki patted the back of Kagura who was in front of him.
In an instant, Kagura cheered and her excited little face was full of fighting spirit.
"Whoo-hoo! The bonus and game are all mine!"
As she spoke, Kagura increased her speed and instantly caught up with the team in front of her and overtook them one after another.
"fifty-fifty, idiot." Gintoki reminded Kagura as she walked further and further away.
...
"Shinpachi, this is so easy that I can feel mushrooms growing out of my belly button," Gintoki said casually as he ran.
"Stop, you're killing me." Shinpachi glanced at Gintoki.
"So easy that the Hideo Nakao in my belly button was tricked by a Filipino woman and almost killed himself." Gintoki continued.
(Hideo Nakao: A Japanese actor. He became famous because he played a simple character in a TV series that was tricked by a Filipino woman and almost killed himself. A TV series from the 90s, "Ai to iu nano moto ni"(In the name of love).)
"Stop, you're killing me." Shinpachi narrowed his eyes, a little speechless, "By the way, isn't this joke a little too old? There are even many people who can't understand it. You can simply say that it's easy!"
"The opponents are a bunch of flabby OTAKU with their bellies hanging out," Gintoki continued with some disdain, "How can we lose? In fact, I don't even need to appear."
