There Is No “Person” Who Is Not Confused! / In a Sense, Onigiri and Sushi Are Not the Same

"Although I'm a little disappointed to have the same index as this idiot, but that's it." Kawaki nodded, "If you really don't know what you want to do, then why don't you compare what you usually need to do? Now, which one are you more... er, interested in? No, robots should not have this vocabulary... er, anyway, it was the same situation just now. You can choose the thing with a higher willingness index."

"Tama understands."

"Actually, no matter how much we talk about some things, we can't help you anymore." Kawaki leaned back. He looked up at the ceiling and sighed, "There is no one in the world who is not confused, but it doesn't matter, confusion is only for human beings, and it is exclusive to creatures with their own thoughts."

"Confused?" Tama was puzzled.

"En, it's just confusion. There is no one in this world who can walk straight without being at a loss. You are the same." Kawaki lowered his head slightly and looked at Tama with a smile, "There is no need to worry about this situation. Not only you, but everyone in this world is the same as you."

"Tama is not a human. If she is a robot, will robots also be confused?" Tama tilted her head, a little confused.

"I don't know if other robots will, but aren't you at a loss right now?" Kawaki chuckled, "A certain person once taught me [It's okay to be lost, as long as you become the person you want to be], today I give this sentence to you."

"Although you are a robot, there are some things that are the same as us. Laugh when you want to laugh and don't cry out loud when you want to cry. If you want to see someone, go see them. Finally, if you want to do something, you do it. Robots? It doesn't matter. Perhaps there will be a layer of shackles around them. However, humans are far freer than you think."

"Tama..." Tama had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Kawaki once again.

"You want to say that you are a robot again? No, it's not like that. In my opinion, you are already a normal human being." Kawaki snorted, "No matter when you laugh, when you cry, or when you are at a loss, you are no different from a human."

After saying that, Kawaki stood up and went to the window. He held the window and looked at the guests and women coming and going on the streets of Yoshiwara.

As for Gintoki, he lay on the floor with his arms crossed under his pillow and his eyes looking at the ceiling. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Just like that, after a long silence, Tama stood up and bowed to Kawaki and Gintoki, "I am very grateful to Kawaki-sama and Gintoki-sama today. Tama will leave first."

"Ah, go." Kawaki turned around and smiled.

After Tama responded, she turned around and left slowly.

...

"Hey, Kawaki, what is your interest?" Suddenly, Gintoki suddenly asked.

"Of course, it's a..." Kawaki subconsciously replied, but fortunately, he reacted in time. He quickly covered his mouth and said with lingering fear, "That was close!"

With that, Kawaki looked at Gintoki, who was still lying on the floor, and shouted, "Hey! Bastard..."

Seeing Kawaki's reaction, Gintoki couldn't help but laugh. Then he sat up, but he still didn't stop laughing.

"Bastard! What are you laughing at!" Kawaki rolled his eyes and scolded.

"No, no, no. I just feel that idiots are still as idiots as always," Gintoki stopped laughing and then stood up on the spot. With his hands in his pockets, he turned around and walked to the door, "But sometimes, I feel that this is not bad. At least when I see your idiotic appearance, I feel that nothing has changed, just like before."

"Aren't you the same? Idiot." Kawaki gently raised the corners of his mouth.

After saying that, Kawaki turned to look out of the window again, and Gintoki also walked out of Kawaki's door.

The corners of their mouths were raised at the same time...

...

At night, Snack Otose.

Ding ding.

"Welcome."

Just as she finished, Otose saw Kawaki pushing open the door and walking in. She took a puff and said, "What a rare guest."

"Where is Tama?"

Kawaki smiled and sat down in front of the counter.

"I don't know. After giving her a holiday, she never came back." Otose replied indifferently. At the same time, she turned around and picked up a bottle of white wine from the cabinet.

"I see," Kawaki replied indifferently. He picked up a glass and caught the wine Otose poured.

"After all, women who gone out and has not returned, so the men began to worry." Otose teased.

"What nonsense are you saying?" Kawaki took a sip of wine and chuckled, "If you are too tense about women, it will often backfire."

"Kid, you really know women." Otose scolded with a smile.

"No, it's still far away."

After saying that, Kawaki drank the wine in his glass. He took out a thick envelope from his bosom and placed it on the counter. Then, he stood up and left a sentence "Thank you for your hospitality". Then, he turned around and left.

"Not waiting anymore?" Otose counted the money in the envelope and said without looking up.

"No, that child doesn't need us to do anything anymore."

After that, Kawaki raised his hand and waved. He opened the door of Snack Otose and walked out.

However, just as he reached the door, Kawaki met the dirty but smiling Tama who had just returned.

"Kawaki-sama," Tama bowed, "Are you leaving already?"

"Ah, yes."

...

On the way back to Yoshiwara, Kawaki recalled the scene he saw today as he walked: In the park at dusk, Tama replaced the broken whack-a-mole machine and played with a group of children.

"There is really nothing to do."

Looking at the sky, Kawaki murmured softly.

(This chapter is over.)

...

One night, in a certain conveyor belt sushi restaurant.

"Aiya, it's been a long time since to get to where I am today," Hasegawa was dressed in a blue uniform with a blue headband tied on his forehead. He rubbed the back of his head and laughed foolishly, "Ever since I finish my military service, I have been living a life of doing odd jobs without even holding a kitchen knife. Every day, I peek at the boss's sushi-making technique and then practice by myself. Finally, I was allowed to take charge of this branch."

"This time, I will definitely do my best." As he spoke, Hasegawa puffed out his chest.

"Hey, Manager Hasegawa!" Otae, who was sitting in the seat, called out in a timely manner.

"Don't call me that. I'll be shy." Hasegawa instantly became complacent.

"Sure enough, men still need to have a job." Otose, who was sitting at the side, said, "In this way, the wife who ran away from home may come back, and you are really working hard. "

As he spoke, Otose looked at Tsukuyo and continued, "You think so too, right? Tsukki."

"Yes." Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki with a face full of disdain.

Hearing this, Kawaki snorted and said with some disdain, "Human who even forgot his freedom, tsk! Such humans are no different from the apes kept in captivity in zoos!"

"Shut up, Kawaki-san. Have you forgotten how you tortured Hasegawa-san last time? He was unconscious for a long time in the hospital." Shinpachi, who was at the side, said expressionlessly.

"Today, I want everyone who has always supported me to taste my sushi. Today, I will treat you. Eat as much as you want!" Hasegawa explained.

Hearing this, Kagura was the first to cheer, "Ah! I haven't eaten sushi for a long time-aru! What should I eat?"

Only Gintoki looked at Kawaki at the side and then at Kagura who was sitting beside him with a face full of expectation. Then he looked at Hasegawa and said with some uncertainty, "Are you sure?"

"Ah! All free!" Hasegawa patted his chest and said.

...

"Ah, it's turning around. It looks like a delicious cucumber sushi roll." Otae looked at the plate on the conveyor belt and smiled at Kagura, "Kagura-chan, let's eat together~"

"En~"

"Oh, the next dish is also a cucumber sushi roll. Hasegawa-san is really good at making cucumber sushi rolls." Shinpachi praised, and then picked up a plate, "Then I will eat this dish."

"Again," Looking at another plate of cucumber roll passing in front of him, Gintoki sighed, "Well, forget it, it should be good to get used to eating the cucumber sushi roll first..."

However, just as he finished speaking, Gintoki noticed that the entire conveyor belt was actually full of cucumber sushi rolls!

"What do you think you are doing?!" Gintoki cursed with blue veins popping out of his eyes. At the same time, he stood and kicked Hasegawa.

At the same time, Kagura also stood up and jumped up. She shouted and directly stepped on Hasegawa. Shinpachi stood up and punched.

Hasegawa, who had been beaten until he vomited blood and was sent flying, fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

However, Gintoki did not feel sorry at all. He stepped on the counter and pointed at the endless cucumber sushi roll on the conveyor belt. His veins popped out as he shouted, "The cucumber sushi roll has been lined up like Gandhara! How stingy are you?! Hurry up and take out all the tuna and the sea urchin sushi! Bastard! Why do you think we squeeze out our precious time to meet people like you?!"

(Gandhara: An ancient country located in northwestern Pakistan and northeastern Afghanistan. It was known as a Buddhist holy land from the 1st to the 5th centuries. Just cut in, the elders of the author's family are very devout Buddhists. However, the author himself does not believe anything.)

"That's enough. I'm not very interested in coming to this kind of place to eat something that can't be distinguished from onigiri." As he said that, Kawaki stood up directly.

"What you said is completely two different things, right?" Otose complained.

"No, it doesn't make any difference to me." Kawaki shrugged and replied indifferently, "Anyway, it's basically rice mixed with other ingredients, right? And even if there is high-quality tuna sushi, I can't eat it at all. I hate raw meat the most, and the level of hate is 100! By the way, level 10 is the highest grade!"

As he spoke, Kawaki turned his head and pointed at Hasegawa, "Lastly and most importantly, this kind of thing is not hygienic at all, right? This guy doesn't look like the kind of person who will wash his hands after going to the toilet. After eating the sushi made by this kind of person, you will definitely be infected with some strange disease!"
