A Father Who Lost His Hair Follicles...

"Did you just admit it? Admit that there is a relationship between [Hair] and [No Hair]!" Umibouzu shouted, "Kagura, this guy really admitted it! So he is our enemy! He is the enemy of you pappy's hair follicles! It's also the culprit of our family's disharmony!"

Kagura, "..."

"This lie is too far-fetched!" Kawaki roared, "I only predicted it! I predicted the fact that you would become bald in the end!"

"Huh? Really?" Umibouzu asked in disbelief, "Then can you predict when my goddess will return to me?"

"Don't even think about it for the rest of your life!" Kawaki replied without hesitation.

"Damn, let's get out of here, the earth is still too dangerous, and monsters that eat other people's hair follicles are lurking here," Umibouzu said to Kouka with a serious face.

"Who are you calling a monster that eats other people's hair follicles!"

Looking at the increasingly noisy Kawaki and Umibouzu, everyone silently stood up and took two steps back.

"Kid, if you have the ability, go out and practice!"

"Bald people should talk less, don't think that it will be the same as a certain work next door. Being bald doesn't necessarily mean getting stronger."

"Cut the crap!"

As they spoke, the two of them walked outside by side, pushing and shoving.

"Mommy, neither of them held an umbrella..." Kagura pointed at the umbrella in the corner.

"Maybe it's evening..." Kouka said with a smile. Of course, he didn't think so in her heart. Moreover, Kouka knew that these two people definitely didn't go out to fight…

"I see..."

…

"The wine you drink is really strong." Umibouzu took a sip of Kawaki's white wine and said.

"It's okay. I prefer this kind of wine." Kawaki replied and poured himself another glass of wine.

At this time, Kawaki and Umibouzu were in a small izakaya, and they were not fighting as before.

"I don't know if Sister Kouka will see through our vulgar acting skills..." Kawaki said with a sigh after drinking a cup.

"Definitely. Kouka has always been smarter than anyone else..." Umibouzu wanted to say something but stopped, "However, I really should thank you in person. If not for you, perhaps I would have already lost Kouka. Not only me but also Kagura and..."

"Don't say that." Kawaki said, "Perhaps I did something wrong. We may not have fully understood Sister Kouka's feelings. Perhaps, she was prepared to meet her death the moment she left Kouan with you twenty years ago, but I... forced her to continue living in that way..."

"You... Do you already know? Kouka's true identity!" It was Umibouzu's turn to be shocked, "So you also..."

"Do you really think I'm an idiot?" Kawaki looked at Umibouzu with a look of disgust, "You can only lie to Kagura-chan for such stupid reasons. As for me... Forget it. By the way, what about that stinky boy? That stinky boy with a stinky face? What's his name again?"

"Kamui, his name is Kamui," Umibouzu continued, "Ever since [that time], Kamui ran away from home. I heard that he is now heading towards the goal of being a Pirate King."

"Kamui? This name seems to be a little familiar."

"Really? Is Kamui that famous? Is he even more famous than his Dad, this Umibouzu?" Umibouzu's face began to twist, "This time, I might really be laughed at by Kouka. Being surpassed by my son..."

"Wait, wait for me to think..." As he said that, Kawaki began to recall carefully, "Oh right! Old Man Housen said this name! I remember that he mistook me for Kamui at that time!"

"Housen? Wait a minute!" Umibouzu suddenly heard a familiar name.

"How do you know Housen? Is that guy okay?"

"Eh? Is that old man your friend?"

After a moment of silence, Umibouzu slowly said, "No, he is just an annoying fellow."

"I see..." Kawaki nodded and continued, "But he seems to know Kamui."

"Where is Housen now?"

"He is finished."

"I see, it turned out to be finished..." Umibouzu nodded, "What does it mean to be finished?"

"I don't know..."

"I see..."

…

Looking at the other side, everyone had almost finished eating. Kagura rubbed her stomach, which was even more exaggerated than a ten months pregnancy, and at the same time, she picked her teeth with her other hand.

At this time, everyone was chatting.

"Umibouzu? That baldy is actually the famous Umibouzu!" Shinpachi found it hard to believe, but just as he finished speaking, he realized that it was a bit impolite to say this in front of his wife. He then quickly apologized, "I didn't mean to..."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, what I said is the truth... Burp~" Kagura said indifferently, and then burped.

"By the way, Mommy, do you want to see Yorozuya where I work?" Kagura suggested to Kouka with an excited face.

"Can I?" Kouka looked at Gintoki, who was sitting across the table and threw him a questioning look.

"Sure..." Just as Shinpachi finished speaking, Gintoki covered his mouth.

"If you can, please visit tomorrow... At this time, the company has no employees..." Gintoki continued.

"Company?" Kouka was a little confused. She turned to Kagura and asked, "When did you change your job? Why didn't you tell Mom in the letter?"

"She didn't change, but Gin-chan told us to call him president."

"It doesn't matter, I actually understand your situation very clearly in the letter. For example, let an underage girl sleep in a cupboard, the weather is so hot that the money that would be used to buy an air conditioner is used to play Pachinko, and there is also no salary... As a mother, I know all about this kind of thing." Kouka said with a smile.

But this smile was a little different in Gintoki's eyes. Gintoki unconsciously swallowed his saliva, "In fact, there is a reason..."

"Reason?"

"Ah, actually, Kagura-chan slept in the cupboard because..."

Before Gintoki could finish speaking, Tsukuyo had already taken the lead to make a call a certain number.

"Hello, house renovation, Kabukicho Yorozuya, add an attic and write Kawaki a receipt."

"Eh? Are we going to have an attic?!" Kagura was a little excited.

"Are you going to renovate my house before the master says anything?" Gintoki shouted, "Why don't you listen to my opinion?"

"I suggest you don't talk anymore... In the last [Amnesia] incident, the whole house was destroyed! It was Kawaki-san who lent us money to repair the house!" Shinpachi complained, "Also, that house isn't yours either! You're just a tenant!"

"That's what I meant! That house belongs to that old woman! If you want to modify it, you need to ask her first!" Gintoki said.

"Do you really think so? Do you really think about Otose-san? Are you really the usual Gin-san? Didn't something like possession really happens?" Shinpachi couldn't help but ask.

"What are you thinking about?" Gintoki couldn't help but knock on Shinpachi's head and said in a low voice, "At this time, you should try to act like a reliable adult. Otherwise, if Kagura's mother gets angry, she will give us... Oh, by the way, you will tidy up the whole Yorozuya! Make sure it is clean and tidy and looks like a luxury villa!"

"What does a luxurious villa look like?" Shinpachi whispered, "This request is too much! And I don't think Kagura's mother is that kind of person."

"You are too tender, Shinpachi. A mother is the kind of existence that can become Superman for the sake of the child!" As he spoke, Gintoki looked at the big hole that Umibouzu had smashed into, "And this person might really be a Superman in all kinds of sense..."

Shinpachi looked at Kouka, who was chatting and laughing with Tsukuyo and instantly disapproved of Gintoki's words.

…

"I say, are you really just accompanying your wife on a vacation?" Kawaki had a look of disbelief.

"How is that possible!" Umibouzu quickly retorted, "What is a tourist! That is called cultivating new interests! You won't understand. After all, you are still a young boy who hasn't married. Even if you are tall, you are just a young boy."

"There is no difference at all!" Kawaki roared, "I thought you were here to see Kagura-chan! Do you think you can treat Kagura-chan like this?"

"... You're right," Umibouzu continued, "But don't she still have an [Uncle]? And I can see that Kagura looks really happy, whether it is in the letter or the Kagura that I can see and touch..."

"Hearing the word [Uncle] from your mouth is really disgusting!" Kawaki ridiculed, and then his eyes softened, "Kagura-chan must have always wanted to reunite with his uncle, mother, and brother."

"Hey, where's the father? Why did you not put father there?" Umibouzu reminded.

"That child lost her father since she was young..."

"Hey! Her father is still alive! Can you not curse me to death!"

"Can you let me finish?" Kawaki said again, "That child's father's... hair follicles was lost since she was young."

"This is barely enough, but it's just that he lost the hair follicles. A father who lost his hair follicles is still a father! So add father to it!"

"Then let's start over again..." As he spoke, Kawaki's gaze softened once again, "Kagura-chan must have always wanted to reunite with his uncle, mother, brother, father..."

When Umibouzu heard this, he nodded.

"... hair follicles."

Umibouzu... flipped the table...
