บท 375: Everyone Has Their Respective Charm Point!

"That may apply to the OTAKU, but..." Shinpachi hesitated and frowned slightly. There was a trace of worry between his brows.

"What's wrong? Are you concerned about something?" Gintoki's face was full of disapproval.

"No, I haven't seen Hijikata-san yet." Shinpachi shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"Ah? Are you still worried about that guy?"

"Why isn't he here?" Shinpachi said while frowning, "Forget it, there are so many people here. It's not that easy to find him."

"There's nothing to worry about," Gintoki comforted, "Although he said it very well, he might fail during the preliminary."

As he said that, Gintoki suddenly stopped and continued, "Forget it. Anyway, I am a little dizzy now. I want to take a taxi to the TV station. Anyway, I will definitely get the bonus. It's okay to be a little extravagant, right?"

Then, Gintoki began to look around for a taxi and raised his hand to shout, "Hey! Taxi!"

A yellow taxi stopped in front of Gintoki.

"Hey! How can you be so lazy!" Shinpachi stopped and pointed loudly. Then he quickly came in front of Gintoki who was ready to get in the car. He grabbed Gintoki's clothes and shouted, "This is not good!"

With that, Shinpachi waved to the taxi driver and motioned for the driver to leave.

Before Gintoki could stop him, the driver had already closed the door and started the car to slowly leave.

"Didn't the host already say that the entire team would be disqualified if someone were to give up?" Shinpachi continued, "Giving up running is the same as giving up!"

"It's fine," Gintoki comforted, "I heard that [Beep—] was riding in a car when the cameras weren't on her on the 24-hour TV show. And you've even got people who air pre-recorded stuff. "

"This isn't pre-recorded!" Shinpachi shouted a little crazily, "We'll lose the prize money and official membership cards!"

At this time, Takaya, who couldn't stand watching, came over and grabbed Gintoki's collar. He said with an unhappy face, "Cut it out already. We're betting on our fan club's existence here. I'll beat the crap out of you if you don't shape up!"

"Let go, stupid brat," Gintoki replied disdainfully, "DYou want me to smash your charm point, those protruding teeth?"

"Like hell, they're my charm point! I obviously harbor a complex about that!" Takaya shouted loudly.

"Shut up! People use their complexes as a way to mature," Gintoki retorted with an indifferent expression, "You try to become better when you feel inferior. So you could consider it a charm point in a way. I'm gonna snap that charm point of yours."

"Snap it!" Takaya shouted, his veins popping out, "Snap them and make me handsome!"

"Stop it, Takachin." Shinpachi quickly comforted, "Snapping them won't make you handsome! That's not the issue here!"

"Damn it..." Takaya shouted a little crazily, "What the hell is the issue!"

However, just as he finished speaking, a green taxi suddenly came from not far away. Takaya, who was completely unaware of it, was directly knocked flying and spinning in the air dozens of times before slowly falling to the ground.

However, it seemed that he was about to lose consciousness, and what he also lost was the Charm Point (protruding teeth) that they do not recognize.

"Takachin!" Shinpachi shouted, and then rushed forward, "Takachin! Get a grip! Takachin!"

"Teeth... broken teeth... I, I... have I become handsome?"

After leaving this sentence, Takaya completely lost consciousness...

"That's not the issue here!"

At this time, the window of the passenger seat of the taxi slowly fell down, and Sogo's head poked out from the window of the passenger seat.

Sogo, who was wearing the same clothes as Otaku Tosshi, looked ahead and turned to look at the taxi driver at the side. He waved his hand and said, "Ah, he looks okay so carry on."

"I see," the driver continued, "Uh, you're headed to the TV station, right?"

"Yes, it's the Oedo TV station," Sogo replied.

After saying that, the driver started the car again and drove Sogo away slowly, leaving only the messy figure of Gintoki who had just witnessed everything, and Shinpachi, who was still shouting, and the unconscious Takaya...

"Hey, somebody we obviously know was wearing a rather familiar lame costume," Gintoki looked at Shinpachi and said with a speechless face, "And headed to a place we just heard about in a taxi."

"Huh?" Shinpachi turned his head and shouted with bulging veins, "Now is not the time to talk about this! I should take Takachin to the hospital as soon as possible!"

However, just as he finished speaking, Gintoki and Shinpachi thought of something at the same time.

[If anybody on the team gives up, that team is immediately disqualified!] That was what the host said at that time...

"Ta-Takachin..." After a moment of silence, Shinpachi slowly said, "H-H-Hospital... You know about it, right?"

"Yes, he knows the hospital." Gintoki nodded and replied expressionlessly.

Then, Shinpachi and Gintoki helped Takaya up and once again embarked on the marathon journey...

"Alright, there's no time for such things Takachin," Shinpachi said with a bitter smile as he walked, "Let's go."

"Hey, walk properly," Gintoki pretended to be angry, "What's wrong? Takachin, I told you not to drink too much. Alright, let's go for another round. Let's go to the TV station bar, Ahaha..."

"His eyes roll back, Gin-san!" Shinpachi smiled bitterly and reminded, "Takachin's eyes roll back, hahaha... He was completely drunk..."

The corners of Shinpachi's mouth twitched as he tried to continue, "Well, as expected, we should still go to the hospital..."

Before Shinpachi could finish speaking, a black luxury car suddenly drove over from behind Shinpachi and the others. Shinpachi and Gintoki had no time to think and instantly abandoned Takaya. The two of them rolled to the sides at the same time.

As for Takaya, he was in a rather miserable state. After being knocked into the air and spinning around for who knows how many times, he fell heavily onto the ground again.

"Takachin!!" Looking at Takaya who was no longer twitching, Shinpachi rushed forward with tears in his eyes.

At this time, the window of the driver seat of the luxury car slowly lowered, and Kawaki's head poked out from the inside.

"Sorry, sorry." Kawaki touched the back of his head and looked at Gintoki, who was completely stunned. He said, "Because I was in a hurry to go out, I left the tram card at home, so I can only use this instead. And it's the first time I drive a car in manual transmission, so I'm a little nervous. But it seems that you don't mind, I'm off! See you at Oedo TV station~bye~"

After that, Kawaki rolled up the window again, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed forward again in a series of twists and turns...

In the messy wind, Gintoki could even hear the voice of the Hyakka members in the back row of the car, as if they were fighting for the seat of the co-driver...

...

"Well, it seems that another person we know drove a group of women past." The corners of Gintoki's mouth twitched. He looked at Shinpachi who was desperately shouting at Takaya, "Is that really okay? Did you just see it?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Shinpachi turned around and shouted, "Takachin doesn't even twitch now! There is no reaction at all! What should we do? Gin-san!"

"I already said not to drink so much! Takachin!" Gintoki came to Takaya and helped him up. At the same time, he complained loudly, "How can you sleep on the road? Alright, let's continue. If you want to sleep, you can only sleep on the TV station. This is common sense!"

"You... you are right, Ahahaha..." Shinpachi, who was sweating profusely, forced the corners of his mouth to twitch. At the same time, he helped Takaya up from the other side, "Speaking of which, I do have this kind of common sense... Ahahaha, running to the TV station to sleep after getting drunk... "

"Let's go, Shinpachi, Takachin!"

"You're right. Let's go, Gin-san, Takachin!"

As they spoke, the two of them prepared to move forward again. But this time, before the two of them could move, Yamazaki's voice came from behind them.

"Boss, what are you guys doing here?" Yamazaki, who was dressed in the same attire as Otaku Tosshi, stopped. He looked at Gintoki and the other two in front of him and asked with a puzzled expression, "Could it be that you guys also participated in this competition?"

As he spoke, Yamazaki scratched the back of his head and said with some surprise, "Aiya, what a coincidence..."

Shinpachi and Gintoki's faces instantly turned completely black. At the same time, cold sweat continued to pour out.

'Ya-Ya-Yamazaki!!' The two of them slightly turned their faces away, twitching their entire faces as they looked at Yamazaki, who had a refreshing expression on his face behind them

...

On the other side, Kagura, who was continuously clearing obstacles in front of her and running excitedly, was suddenly held down by a hand.

"This is where your merry stroll ends, young lady." Kondo, who was in the same clothes as Otaku Tosshi, turned around and snorted at Kagura, "No matter how many people come, I won't let them run in front of me!"

"You... you are!" Only then did Kagura react. She looked at the familiar man in front of her in disbelief and said, "Who... are you?"

"Eh?"

"Don't casually touch a girl's head-aru." Kagura slapped Kondo's hand away with a look of disdain. Then, she narrowed her eyes and sized up Kondo. She bit her finger and muttered to herself, "He seems to be a little familiar-aru. It does seem like I have seen him somewhere before..."

"Oh!" Kagura suddenly thought of something and said again, "Are you the gorilla brother of that gorilla-aru?!"
