Screwdriver Arc Part 7

[What are you talking about? If you have an opinion, you should speak up! Say it! Please speak up~~~!!!]

However, just as Sacchan finished speaking, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the thick fog not far away. Everyone turned their heads and saw two figures slowly walking toward them.

[This time, it can't be wrong! It's definitely M!] Katsura said with certainty: [There's no trace of fear in the footsteps at all. It's like the calm footsteps of walking on a country road! It can't be wrong!]

[But there are two people on the other side! Which one is M?!] Shinpachi was puzzled.

[Perhaps the legendary M may be a combination.] Katsura analyzed slowly: [Maybe M's full name is [M Shining Duo]!]

[What kind of 'maybe' is that?] Shinpachi cursed.

[Their figure has appeared!] Katsura reminded.

Everyone quickly looked over and saw that the figure in the thick fog was becoming more and more solid until it completely appeared...

Looking at Kawaki and Kagura who came out of the thick fog, everyone was silent for a long time...

[Why is it the two of you?!] Gintoki took the lead and complained: [Why did you have to go on stage at such a critical moment?! Are you two idiots?! Are you two idiots?!!!]

[Why are you so angry?] Kawaki complained: [I and Kagura were worried about your safety, so we cleared out all the bosses in this area. It was very hard, okay?]

[Yes.] Kagura nodded.

[No need! No need at all!] Gintoki complained frantically: [It's just looking for someone, why do you want to clear the monsters? It's not necessary at all!!]

[Oh, I almost forgot-aru.] Kagura suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly took out the spoils of war that were dragged behind her and threw them in front of everyone: [I brought you one too. It seems to be an extremely rare monkey. Little uncle and I only met this one.]

Gintoki and the others looked at the golden-haired man who was naked on the ground in front of them. Even his underwear was stripped off and only mosaic was left. They fell into a strange silence.

[That, no matter how you look at it, this isn't a monkey, right?] Shinpachi adjusted his glasses and lowered his head as he muttered: [No matter how you look at it, it's still a hunter. No matter how you look at it, it should be a human, right?]

[No, it should be a monkey.] Kagura said resolutely: [When I was attacking a white-fur monkey with my little uncle, this monkey suddenly jumped out. It definitely wanted to attack us together with the white-fur monkey. This is the first time I've seen a monkey team up.]"

[That, that's not called an attack. It's obvious that this person just wants to help!] Shinpachi corrected her: [It's obvious that he just wants to help you defeat the boss together!]

[That...] The golden-haired man on the ground opened his eyes at this time. Looking at the surrounding people's gazes, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He covered his lower body and said: [Can you not look at me like that? I'm a little shy...]

Everyone: [...]

...

[That's right, I am M!] The golden-haired man crossed his arms and snorted: [I am the legendary hunter you are looking for, M!]

[Before saying this, can you please put on your clothes?] Shinpachi was speechless: [Not handsome at all. Even if your face looks a bit handsome, you look like a pervert now.]

[What legendary hunter?] Gintoki said disdainfully: [You were so easily taken care of by two idiots. It seems that the legend is completely a lie. Let's go, let's go find other clues.]

[Indeed. If it was a legendary hunter that knew everything about this world, it would be impossible for him to fail so easily. It seems that the legend is indeed somewhat different(boring)] Katsura analyzed with his hands crossed: [Or maybe he bought an Internet water army. Originally, I wanted to take a photo with M, but it seems that there is really no need for it now.]

[Hey! Why don't you take a closer look before you talk?!?] M retorted: [They are not ordinary people at all, okay?! What's the matter with that mosaic weapon?! Why is that obscene object so powerful? ?! Is it a cheat?! It must be a cheat!]

[Making a lot of fuss with such small things. It seems that the rumors are indeed false.] Kawaki nodded and analyzed: [Hey guys, let's go. Let's go find other clues. M or something like that, don't we have it by our side? This M-sow. Just take her as a substitute for a bit. It's not bad.]

[Who are you calling a sow?!] Sacchan instantly became unhappy: [Sow is Gin-san's special nickname for me!]

[Shut up. You sow can just obediently close her mouth and pant.] Kawaki gently glanced at Sacchan at the side. Then, he handed the rope around Sacchan's neck to Gintoki: [I'll leave it to you.]

After saying that, Kawaki turned and left. Everyone also turned around. However, before everyone could walk far away, M suddenly shouted: [Wait! Don't you want to know the information about the alien gamers?!]

Everyone stopped and turned to look at M.

[Why... why do you know?!] Shinpachi was shocked and quickly typed.

[That's for sure. As someone who is called all-knowing. I know why you guys came to play this game and why you looked for me. I already know everything.] M closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and slowly said: [I've been waiting for you. People who can face any crisis, who hunt for the hope that is tomorrow. I have been waiting for true hunters like you to come.]

Everyone was shocked, but before they could recover, M continued: [Um, sorry, can you return my clothes first? I'm also a little shy about this kind of image...]

Everyone: Die!

...

Kawaki and the others followed behind M who had already put on his clothes(equipment) and walked along the mountain path.

[This world of monkey hunters has recently added a lot of strange hunters.] M said as he walked: [They're not here to enjoy hunting. All they do is search for people. And they all say the same thing, "Do you know anything about the alien gamers?"].

[! !] Shinpachi suddenly thought of something: [I...It can't be!]

[Yes. You're not the only victim of alien abduction. People like you who want to restore their bodies are now coming to this world one after another.] M replied.

[Don't you people know?] Sacchan suddenly interrupted: [It's become such a crisis that the Bakufu is taking action. I was asked by certain higher-ups in the Bakufu to infiltrate this game. Yes! I'm here to tie up and arrest the alien gamers.]

Looking at Sacchan who had a rope around her neck, Shinpachi said with an expressionless face: [No, you tied up yourself, right?! You didn't do anything other than indulge in M play.]

[Miss Ginko, please hold the rope on the other end!] Sacchan begged: [I can't stand it anymore! Why throw the rope away? If you don't hold it properly in your hand, I will go crazy!]

[Shut up, you perverted woman!] Gintoki cursed.

Ignoring their argument, M continued: [...Almost all of those players surrendered due to setbacks during the process. It is almost impossible to find a specific person whose name is unknown in this vast cyber world. You are the first to come to my side.]

[No, it's I who caught you-aru.] Kagura raised her hand and corrected.

[...] M did not answer. Instead, he stopped and looked up at the huge temple cave halfway up the mountain: [Here, you should be able to find what you are looking for. Inside this temple is the monkey who stands above all others, the mythical beast: Seiten Taisei. The aliens plan to hunt it down and will definitely come here.]

[You are people whom I recognize as true hunters. Will you fight with me? I cannot stand by and watch anymore as people trample on this hunters' paradise with their soiled feet. Let us go together. Let us reclaim our hunters' paradise!]

[Hey, you've been constantly acting cool since earlier. What's the matter with you?] Kawaki impatiently kicked M over: [Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten the taste of being defeated? Is this attitude you have when speaking to seniors? Is it?!]

[Yes, yes!] Kagura walked over and kicked as she cursed: [The defeated one is still so arrogant. Be careful that I will strip you naked again-aru!]

[Hey, stop messing around you two!] Shinpachi hurriedly went forward and grabbed the two of them: [Listen to M first! After all, he provided the clues.]

[Tsk.] Kawaki spat impatiently: [It's fine if you want to join us, but hand your [Beep—] over to me! If you hand it over, I'll agree.]

[Yes, yes.] Kagura nodded in agreement.

[Can you two not go any further?] Shinpachi shouted. Then, he hurriedly went forward to help M up: [Are you okay? M-san? That's the personality of the two of them. Don't mind it.]

[Ah, it doesn't matter.] M smiled awkwardly: [Anyone would be so angry if their body was changed without the owner's permission. Actually, I am the same. Right now, my heart is burning with anger. However, right now, we have to endure it. At least until the two alien gamers appear!]

[A... As expected of M! Even his minds are so broad!] Shinpachi was moved, but then he suddenly reacted: [Wait! Don't tell me that M-san, you are also...]

[As you guess. Although not like you.] M closed his eyes as if he was recalling something: [A light shines down on me from the sky and by the time I knew what was happening, it was too late...]

M(Hasegawa): [I had been rendered completely unemployed.]

Shinpachi, who was in front of the screen, was stunned for a few seconds before he finally came back to his senses. He opened his eyes wide and retorted loudly, "What kind of modification is that? Why are you blaming aliens for not having a job?! This is not called modification!"

At this time, M continued: [I was turned into a spiritless, filthy dude with sunglasses named Hasegawa.]

[That's who you are! You're just trying to escape your real-life self by pretending to be someone else!]
