"Strange?" Tsukuyo was puzzled.
"Nothing, hahaha," Kawaki rubbed the back of his head and smiled. Then, he cupped his hands and nodded, "Yes, it must be fine. I believe in them!"
"Is that so?" Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki suspiciously.
"Yes, there is absolutely no problem at all!" As he spoke, Kawaki took large strides forward...
...
In the blink of an eye, a week passed by quickly...
Yoshiwara.
Kawaki lay on the floor and watched the morning news on the TV in boredom. Tsukuyo was sitting at a table at the side, dealing with some of Yoshiwara's trivial documents.
"The important person who was locked up by Shinsengumi, Katsura Kotarou escaped from the Oedo Prison this week. Next, let us connect to the scene - Anchor Ketsuno..."
Before the host could finish speaking, Kawaki picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
"It's still the same as before~"
After saying that, Kawaki sat up, stretched, and stood up.
After moving his shoulders and neck a little, Kawaki walked to the door, stood at the door, looked at the umbrella he had just picked up, and said softly, "Alright, work has begun."
After calming down, Kawaki called out.
"Hyakka, gather!!"
As soon as Kawaki's voice fell, a group of Hyakka ladies instantly appeared in front of Kawaki, and they were still in line.
"1st Division is responsible for Yoshiwara's east area, 2nd Division is responsible for the west area, 3rd Division south, 4th Division north! Did you hear that?!" Kawaki shouted loudly.
"Yes!" xn
"Scatter!"
After a few swooshing sounds, more than half of the Hyakka members in front of Kawaki disappeared. Glancing at the remaining dozen Hyakka members, Kawaki said faintly, "The remaining 5th Division will patrol with me. Let's go."
After saying that, Kawaki turned around and left, followed by a dozen Hyakka members.
Tsukuyo saw all of this, but she did not say anything. In fact, after the offline meeting, the two of them became like this, and the one responsible for supervising Hyakka's patrol became Kawaki.
Tsukuyo received a new job from Hinowa, which was to deal with some documents like Yoshiwara's report, which had been handled by Hinowa all along.
Maybe Hinowa was also worried that Tsukuyo would be uncomfortable if she became like this.
By the way, ever since the offline meeting, Kawaki had not seen the Yorozuya trio and Shinsengumi's group for a long time(Nicotine, Gorilla, Sadist).
According to the words of an old woman with thick makeup who was unwilling to reveal her name and another Shinsengumi who was unwilling to reveal his name, after the offline meeting, the Yorozuya trio and Shinsengumi's group packed up all their belongings and flew to the space...
...
In space, on a spaceship that was sailing...
"Gin-san, are we really going to admit defeat just like that?" Shinpachi sat in his seat and lowered his head in disappointment.
"It's not admitting defeat. It's just a temporary compromise," Gintoki sat in the middle seat, crossed his arms, and looked at the scene outside the window with a bored face, "Sometimes, life is like this. There will always be things that make people feel helpless and powerless. So, in the face of this kind of situation, it doesn't matter if you compromise appropriately."
"That's true, hahaha..." Shinpachi raised his head and scratched his head with an awkward smile.
"But, Little Uncle didn't come..." Kagura sat by the window, unable to hide her disappointment, "Why didn't Little Uncle come-aru? Why didn't Little Uncle compromise-aru?"
After saying that, Kagura raised her head and looked at Gintoki and Shinpachi.
However, the two of them did not answer. Instead, they fell into a strange silence.
At the same time, the Shinsengumi group, who was sitting a few rows behind the three of them, also had a conversation similar to the three of them.
The only difference was that the one who raised the question first was Sogo, and the one who answered was Toshiro.
The same three-person team, the same silence, the same purpose, the same worry...
Suddenly, Kagura and Sogo's mobile phones buzzed at the same time. Kagura took out her mobile phone from behind her head and glanced at the message on the screen. Her eyes widened instantly.
"Gin-chan! This!" Kagura turned the phone screen to Gintoki and said excitedly, "It's Sacchan-aru! The location of the alien gamers has been confirmed!"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore." Gintoki glanced at the message on the phone and waved his hand impatiently, "We will reach our destination in a few hours. That kind of thing doesn't matter anymore."
"But..."
"Do you still want to give up this opportunity to restore your body and return to Earth to settle the score with those two alien gamers? Stop messing around. I can't endure it for a quarter of an hour. Let's talk about the score after we restore our body."
"Kagura-chan, Gin-san is right." Shinpachi hurriedly comforted, "A few hours or a week. No matter how you think about it, the former is more convenient, right? It doesn't matter if you take a shortcut."
Kagura's expression instantly became disappointed again. She lowered her head, curled the corners of her mouth, and muttered, "But... I want to choose the latter one. It doesn't matter even if I take a long way. I still want to choose the latter one. Maybe smart people will choose the first one at this time, but it doesn't matter, because I am an idiot. It doesn't matter if I choose the latter one because I am an idiot."
Hearing this, Gintoki and Shinpachi were silent for a long time before they stood up at the same time.
"Gin-chan... Shinpachi..." Kagura looked at the two of them and muttered with her eyes wide open.
"Because we are the same as you, hopeless idiots!" Gintoki and Shinpachi said at the same time.
"That's great! This time, I'll let those two damn alien gamers have a good taste of being retaliated against!" Gintoki gritted his teeth and said word by word, "From now on, it's time for real hunting!"
Just as Gintoki finished speaking, he suddenly heard a certain V-shaped bangs sound similar to his own.
"Why are you here?" Gintoki turned around and looked at Toshiro and the other two expressionlessly.
"We should be the ones asking this question, right?" Toshiro retorted.
"Hey, calm down, Toshi," Kondo, who was sitting in his seat, stood up with his arms crossed, "This kind of thing does not need to be asked. Since everyone is here, it means that our purpose is the same."
Gintoki crossed his arms and snorted coldly. He replied with some disdain, "No, it's not the same. We are just going out for a trip. We are definitely not trying to escape! We are definitely not trying to take a shortcut to find a doctor to restore our bodies to their original state! It is different from your goal!"
"Well, Gin-san, what you said just now has already revealed our original purpose," Shinpachi said expressionlessly.
"Originally purpose? In other words, your purpose has changed?!" Kondo caught an important word and then looked at Gintoki and the others with a look of disbelief, "Could... could it be that you are the same as us! Did you get the information about the maker of the transporter device that caused me to become like this?!"
"That's not the case!" Gintoki shouted loudly and complained, "Why are you still so concerned about the transporter device at this time? Are you an idiot?"
"Idiots are endless, aren't they?!" Toshiro was a little unhappy.
"Toshi, no need. Now is not the time to quarrel." Kondo stopped him.
"Although he is indeed an idiot, he is also the Chief of Shinsengumi! At least add a chief in the suffix!" Toshiro continued.
"Do you think so too?!" Kondo was in a bad mood.
...
"So that's how it is. Boss, you guys have also received the news." Sogo asked, "If that's the case, what are you going to do, boss?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, we have to go back and kill those two alien gamers immediately!" Gintoki replied without hesitation.
"But there are still three hours before we reach our destination. It will take a long time to go back." Sogo continued.
"No, no need." Toshiro lowered his head and chuckled. Then, he raised his head and revealed a kind smile, "Isn't it enough to turn the spaceship around and speed up? How about ten times the speed? How about killing the pilot if he doesn't do what we ask?"
"Oh!" Gintoki raised his hand and bump them, "Good idea, Hijikata. I didn't expect you to have such a brain. You really surprised me today."
After saying that, Gintoki nodded and continued, "That's right, that's right, as long as we do this, in a sense, it means that we won't be able to reach Kawaki's ex-girlfriend in three hours, and our original purpose will also be fundamentally changed. It turns into a vacation in space, which kills two birds with one stone!"
"Hey, Gin-san, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all." Shinpachi narrowed his eyes and said speechlessly, "And this kind of behavior is no different from a hijacker. Also, why are you so sure that she is Kawaki-san's ex-girlfriend? What kind of person is Kawaki-san in your eyes?"
"A hijacker? No, no, no, this is helping the police solve the case." Toshiro retorted with a snort.
"Yes, yes." Gintoki nodded, "And you have to ask me how I think of Kawaki..."
As he spoke, Gintoki pointed to the lounge in the distance, "Probably to the extent that the stewards over there are all his ex-girlfriends. By the way, if you see a female monkey while walking on the road, there is no doubt that she is probably Kawaki's ex-girlfriend."
"Hey! What you said is too much! No matter what, it's impossible for a female monkey!" Shinpachi shouted.
"No, no, no, it's very possible. After all, that guy can even make a move on an alien. The possibility of a monkey is also very high." Gintoki retorted.
