Chapter 2641 He's still my tenant!
Dusk.
The sun sets gradually.
The sky was painted a vibrant orange-yellow.
It was as if the whole world had been draped in a beautiful veil.
at this time.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall of the castle tower was eerie yet restrained.
General Tokugawa Shigeshige sat in the main seat.
The chief on the right is General Squirrel, and the chief on the left is Six-Turn Dancer.
Next were Matsudaira Katakuri, and other officials.
Under bright lights.
Exquisite Japanese dishes were laid out on the small tables in front of everyone.
But apart from Admiral Flying Squirrel and Major General Darian.
Everyone else ate absentmindedly.
"Lord Flying Squirrel's throw was truly breathtaking; I will never forget that scene in my life."
General Mao raised his wine glass with admiration.
"On behalf of the Shogunate, on behalf of this planet, I raise a toast to you."
The flying squirrel nodded, raised its glass in return, and calmly said, "It's my duty, just a small favor."
Seated on the lower left are Yoshino Haruaki and Hattori Zenzo, who were specially invited to attend.
Upon hearing this, they subconsciously exchanged glances.
They both saw helplessness and apprehension in each other's eyes.
That's the 'evil god' Antenmaru, and you call it 'just a small favor'?
Just as the atmosphere was getting heated up.
The side door of the hall opened.
Princess Chengye entered slowly, dressed in a twelve-layered kimono with gold and red stripes.
Sarutobi Ayame followed closely behind as a guard.
The girl wearing a flat-topped golden crown had a slightly uneasy look on her face, but her steps were very firm.
She stood beside General Mao Mao and solemnly bowed to General Flying Squirrel.
"General Momonga, please allow me, on my personal behalf, to thank you for saving Edo."
General Squirrel put down his wine cup: "Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities."
Princess Chengye then raised her head and said softly:
"I heard that my two friends, Gintoki and Kagura, have been arrested."
"Although they act rashly, they are very honest and kind, and have helped many people in need over the years."
The hall fell silent as soon as he finished speaking.
Hijikata and Okita, who were present but not entitled to a seat and were standing in the corner guarding the area, thought to themselves, "Just as I expected."
"They helped the Kiheitai commander-in-chief, Shinsuke Takasugi, who launched the attack, fight against our navy, and even injured Major Debes."
Major General Darian calmly recounted their crimes.
Chengye's fingers trembled slightly inside her sleeve as she forced a smile and explained:
"As far as I know, they are not helping the Ghost Squad cause trouble."
"I just wanted to save my comrades; I had no ill intentions towards the World Government."
"I...I beg Lord Flying Squirrel, could you please show leniency?"
She knew very well that this flying squirrel general was the one who could truly make the decisions.
The flying squirrel remained silent for a moment.
General Mao opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"your Highness."
The flying squirrel finally spoke up: "We arrested them to maintain order."
"Don't worry, once the situation here stabilizes, they will be freed naturally."
These are all people on important lists.
Although I don't know the reason, as a soldier, I just need to obey orders.
Princess Chengye's beautiful eyes lit up.
I finally managed to save Kagura and Gintoki.
He immediately bowed deeply again: "Thank you so much!"
General Mao Mao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the flying squirrel was not angry.
He quickly gave the order: "Alright, Chengye, go back now, the banquet has only just begun."
"Yes, brother."
Princess Chengye obediently complied, a happy smile on her face, and hurriedly left.
She wanted to tell Shinpachi-san the good news as soon as possible.
at the same time.
Inside the Yorozuya on the second floor.
Shinpachi plopped down on the sofa, panting heavily.
Dingchun carefully stayed by her side.
Kawakami Mansaki and Kurishima Matako, both seriously injured.
They have already sent him to Oedo Hospital for treatment.
If they hadn't acted quickly, they would probably have died from blood loss.
"Gintoki/Kagura"
Shinpachi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes behind his glasses filled with anxiety.
When he rushed back, the scene was already deserted.
They immediately realized they were in big trouble.
Sadaharu let out a low whimper and nuzzled Shinpachi with his big head.
"I'm also very worried about them."
Shinpachi pats Sadaharu, comforting him while forcing himself to calm down.
He absolutely refused to believe that Gintoki and Kagura were dead.
They must be locked up somewhere.
However, you can't do anything on your own.
Shinpachi glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already past six in the afternoon.
"Sadaharu, you stay home, I'm going to find Granny Otose!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the house, ran down the stairs, and almost fell into the small tavern below.
"Grandma Otose!"
"Oh no!"
There were only a handful of regulars in the tavern.
Grandma Otose is wiping cups behind the counter.
Xiaoyu was cleaning the table, while Catherine was drinking with the guests.
"What's all the fuss about? You're not the one who owes rent."
He didn't even flinch as he continued to curse.
Shinpachi rushed to the counter, breathless, and quickly recounted what had happened.
As she listened, Otose gradually slowed down her movements while wiping the cup.
"so."
She suddenly put down her cup and lit a cigarette.
"That naturally curly-haired guy finally messed up."
"This time, we've kicked a rock-solid board?"
"Mother-in-law!"
"This is no time for jokes!"
Shinpachi nearly jumped up in panic: "That's the World Government's navy!"
"Although they always talk about 'justice,' the things they do are more and more terrible than the last!"
"Gintoki and Kagura might be captured and taken to Enies Lobby for trial!"
"Put them back in Impel Down, that hellish deep-sea prison!"
"I'm not Straw Hat Boy; I can't just barge in and save people."
Having said all that in one breath, Shinpachi collapsed onto the bar, seemingly in utter despair.
After listening patiently, Otose took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, "If that's the case, what can I do?"
"What kind of old woman like me, who runs a small tavern, would I possibly go and hijack a warship?"
Shinpachi, of course, understood that this was the truth.
Frustrated, she buried her head in her arms, muttering to herself, completely at a loss for what to do.
"Humph!"
"Has that kid forgotten that he still owes me five months' rent?"
Otose said coldly, "So you're planning to renege on your debt by risking your life, aren't you?"
Shinpachi looked up and couldn't help but complain, "That price is way too high!"
Otose glanced at him, then silently continued smoking.
At this moment, Xiaoyu and Catherine also came over.
"Xiaoyu, go and close the door. We're closing early today."
Otose finally spoke again.
She then picked up the old-fashioned telephone from the counter.
Shinhachi was pleasantly surprised to see this.
They knew the other party was about to take action.
This is Empress, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kabukicho.
Regardless, they definitely have more energy than me.
"Hey, it's me."
Grandma Otose said into the microphone, "Come to my place, I need to talk to you."
"Oh, right, let's also invite Saigo, um, that's it."
After hanging up, she held a cigarette between her fingers and looked up at Shinpachi.
"Denomizu Jirocho and Saigo Tokusho will come over."
"As for Hua Tuo, he's not one of us, so calling him won't help."
Shinpachi's eyes widened: "You're so close to the other two of the Four Heavenly Kings?"
"Okay."
Otose stepped out from behind the bar and went to the window, gazing at the neon lights that were gradually coming on outside.
"That guy with the naturally curly hair is lazy, poor, and loves to cause trouble, but he's still my tenant."
"Grandma!" Shinpachi's eyes welled up with tears.
"Don't cry and whine in front of me."
Without turning back, Deng cursed, "We'll discuss what to do when those two arrive."
But before he could finish speaking...
Suddenly, the voice of Terakado Tsutomu, a popular contemporary idol, filled the room.
The lyrics are: (Are you even human?)
(Who the hell is your mother anyway?!)
(Can you even be considered human?)
(Who the hell is your mother anyway?!)
(Your mole)
(Isn't the color a bit too light?)
(Your mole)
(Upon closer inspection, it was even covered in hair.)
This song is so annoying, it's making my head twitch.
Shinpachi, however, nonchalantly took out his phone and pressed the button to answer.
He is the captain of Terakado Tsuji's fan club.
"Hey?"
"You are Princess Chengye!"
