章節 22: Seita’s Bizarre Adventure! (First)

"Is that the little brat?" Gintoki asked while digging his nose.

At this time, Yorozuya's group of three, Kawaki and Tsukuyo, were following a dirty-looking child on the street. At this time, the five people were hiding on the corner and looking at Seita who was wandering on the street.

"Yes, that's right, he is Seita," Tsukuyo said.

"It's just a little brat. If you want me to say it, capture him and lock him up for a month. Sooner or later, he will understand the three elements of jump: friendship, hard work, victory! Isn't this enough?" Gintoki waved his hand and said casually.

(TL note: The "jump" here is the Shōnen Jump. Shōnen Jump is a shōnen manga anthology published in Japan by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines. It is the best-selling manga magazine, as well as one of the longest-running, with the first issue being released with a cover date of August 1, 1968. )

"Waste [beep-] words, act according to the plan. It's your turn!" Kawaki said as he kicked Gintoki out…

"Is it really okay? That kind of sloppy man." Tsukuyo looked at Gintoki, who was walking over and asked with some uncertainty.

"Pro... Probably, ah ha ha ha ha ha." Kawaki replied uncertainly.

"Aren't you old friends?"

"Old friends, who haven't seen each other for ten years?" Kawaki →_→ replied like this, "Maybe Kagura-chan and Shinpachi know him better than I do."

"It's starting-aru!" Kagura reminded. Then, everyone quickly turned to look at Gintoki, who had already begun his action…

…

'A stupid-looking silver-haired Samurai came across from the opposite side, this one would definitely not be an easy target!' With this thought in mind, Seita deliberately lowered his head and walked toward Gintoki.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" After deliberately bumping into Gintoki, Seita lowered his head and said softly. His footsteps became much faster and he quickly ran away.

Seita looked back at Gintoki who was gradually disappearing. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, and then he ran into the alley next to him.

Seita took out his own harvest: Gintoki's wallet.

"It looks like I really picked a good target. I didn't expect that there would be such a rich Samurai in this era." Seita laughed. But when he opened the wallet, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"What the hell is this! Other than two hundred and thirty yen, everything else is a blank piece of paper with [Friendship! Effort! Victory!] written on it! How obsessed these guys are with Jump!" Seita cursed. At the same time, he took out the two hundred and thirty yen from Gintoki's wallet and prepared to put it in his wallet. However, when Seita touched his wallet on his chest, he panicked, "Where... Where is my wallet"

(ps: Jump Magazine is priced at 230 yen for one copy.)

…

"Mission completed!" Gintoki had a confident look on his face, "Don't worry, I put two hundred and thirty yen in my wallet, and it was filled with the note [Friendship! Effort! Victory!] "

"Hey, what is that in your hand?" Kawaki looked at Gintoki with disdain.

"Ah, this, I was too careless!" Gintoki looked at the wallet in his hand, "If I weren't careful, I would..."

Before Gintoki could finish speaking, he was kicked over by four people who started to step on him.

"If you don't pay attention, then what! You can even lay your hands on a child's wallet! I really misjudged you, Gintoki!" Kawaki cursed as he stepped on him.

"Isn't this... Isn't this pretty good?" Gintoki, who was already bruised and bruised, got up, "Let him know that if he makes a mistake, he might be punished. This is a disguised education, education. For things like stealing, every time he reaches out and steals something from someone else, he will lose something very important too!"

"If that's the case..." Tsukuyo propped up her chin as if she was thinking, but no one noticed that Kagura had already snatched the wallet from Gintoki's hand and rushed out…

"Ah! Who lost aru's wallet?" Kagura pretended to have just picked up a wallet.

"Mine... mine!" Hearing this, Seita quickly ran towards Kagura.

"I'm really very grateful. This is my wallet." Seita looked at Kagura and said.

"Don't be so careless next time, aru~" Kagura said as she handed the wallet to Seita. At the same time, she secretly turned around and made an OK gesture to Kawaki and the others behind him.

…

Looking at Kagura who was talking and laughing with Seita, Kawaki and the others were shocked.

"That... It doesn't seem to be the time for Kagura-chan to go on stage yet, right?" Shinpachi asked uncertainly.

"You have to believe Kagura-chan. Aren't you guys partners?!" Kawaki could not help but ask.

"I see, maybe Kagura-chan has already thought of a better way." Shinpachi stretched out a finger and said.

However, just as Shinpachi finished speaking, everyone heard a stomach rumbling sound. It was from Kagura. The sound was so loud that even the four people far away from Kagura could hear it clearly…

"Well, since you helped me find my wallet, I should also thank you. I'll treat you to something." Seita said with a helpless smile.

"Really, aru?!"

…

"You know how to be grateful when you are helped. Kagura-chan has a hand!" Kawaki couldn't help but praise.

"As expected of Yorozuya's reputation! Kagura-chan, you can do it!" Gintoki couldn't help but cheer for Kagura from behind.

"I told you, Kagura-chan definitely has his own thoughts. In this case, at least you can see that Seita-kun is kind." Shinpachi said.

…

Kagura-chan, who accepted Seita's invitation, brought Seita to the Snack House downstairs of Yorozuya.

"That... this doesn't seem to be the place to eat, right?" Seita looked at the Snack House in front of him and couldn't help but say aloud.

"What are you talking about-aru? I've been eating here-aru all the time, and I can add more rice." Kagura said as she pulled Seita into the Snack House.

"I said this is not a place to eat! And this place is not open during the day! Why did you walk in and sit down on your own?" As soon as Otose finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong with her hand. She lowered her head and saw Kawaki and the other three curled up on the counter.

Kawaki made a gesture of silence, and at the same time, he stuffed a few tens of thousands of yen bills into Otose's hand and gestured for her to cooperate.

Originally, Otose was about to ask, but the next moment, Kawaki revealed his signature smile. In an instant, Otose fell, "Wuhu..."

[Foreign Voice]: What is [ Wuhu]? It's already 70,000 words. Does the author still want to randomly add some strange settings?!

"I can't do anything to you. This is the only time." Otose looked at Kagura in front of her and said.

"Gin-san, what was that just now? [Wuhu] something, isn't it really plagiarized from another animation?!" Shinpachi could not help but ask in a low voice.

"So didn't I say it before? This guy is just an idiot who is welcomed by women." Gintoki said while digging his nose.

…

"Another bowl!"

"One more bowl!"

…

Looking at Kagura who was just eating and constantly shouting "one more bowl", Seita couldn't help but touch his wallet, afraid that he wouldn't have enough money to pay later. He wanted to stop Kagura, but he felt that someone else had picked up his wallet, so…

"I was careless..." Kawaki could not help but say.

"Yes, I was really careless." Gintoki also said.

"Yes, I was too careless," Tsukuyo said.

"Hey, you three! What should we do in this situation? Seita's face had turned from shock to despair! Kagura-chan's attention was completely immersed in the meal! " Shinpachi looked at the three people beside him and could not help but complain, "Don't think that you can completely shake off the responsibility with a single careless sentence! Hey, how can Seita be full with that kind of big stomach king? "

"Well, it's not enough to feed," Kawaki said uncertainly.

"Well, he must not be full." Gintoki agreed.

"Yes, definitely and definitely not enough." Tsukuyo echoed.

"Enough!"

In the next moment, Kawaki had a flash of inspiration, "Gintoki, let's get straight to the point!" With that, Kawaki kicked Gintoki out of the counter.

"You!" Seeing a familiar face, Seita couldn't help but panic.

Meanwhile, Gintoki sat down at the bar counter, "Cough cough, little brat, there are always gains and losses. You stole my wallet, but you encountered this kind of result. This is karma. Do you understand it?"

After Seita heard this, he began to cry in a grievance unable to stop himself from crying, "I, I just, I just want to see my mother... Why, why do I have to suffer so much!" After saying that, Seita lay on the table and began to cry.

"Can't you just go and see her if you want to? But if you use the stolen money to achieve your goal, I believe your mother won't be happy even if she knows." Gintoki poured himself a glass of sake and said.

"It's not that simple! If I don't have money, I won't be able to see my mother at all! I'm just an orphan. How can I get money if I don't steal it?" Hearing this, Seita raised his head and said.

"There is no mother in this world who needs money to meet. So, tell me, what is going on?"

"I...was abandoned by my parents when I was young. I don't remember what my parents looked like. The only person I can remember is the old man who took me in. That old man died three years ago. But before he died, he told me... [Don't be ashamed, Seita. You weren't abandoned. You were saved. Your parent saved you from the darkness. Be proud of them. Even now, your mother is in the darkness of eternal night. She is shining there as brilliantly as the sun.] That person might be my mother!" Seita said and began to sob again.

"That person?" Otose could not help but ask.

"Yes, that person, the Sun of Yoshiwara in the underground city, the top courtesan, Hinowa.But no matter how many times I call out or yell out to her, she did not even look at me. So I... I need a lot of money. As long as I have a lot of money, I can see her. I want to see her and talk to her..."
