Chapter 88: Humans Are Forgettable Creatures
After listening to Shinpachi's explanation, Kawaki finally understood why Gintoki was so angry today.
"So that's how it is," Kawaki sighed and continued, "It's still the same as before. He is still not good at expressing himself. In short, I understand. What you said makes sense. I will seriously consider it!"
"Thank you so much!" Shinpachi replied happily.
"Now, I also have a question to ask you." Kawaki continued.
"I will tell you everything I know!"
"What exactly is the Christmas present that Kagura-chan wants?"
After saying that, Kawaki began to look forward to Shinpachi's answer.
"Of course it's meat..." Shinpachi subconsciously wanted to answer, but he still reacted, "Do you still want to give Christmas presents? Can you satisfy Gin-san's desire to give gifts! Can you!"
"You may say so, but I feel a little uncomfortable if I don't send something on this special day..."
"No need! I already said there's no need!" Shinpachi retorted, "This kind of doting doesn't benefit Kagura-chan's growth at all! In short, just let Gin-san send a Christmas gift alone this Christmas!"
After saying that, Shinpachi stood up and walked out without looking back. He walked to the door and opened it, only to see a group of Hyakka members eavesdropping at the door.
Shinpachi, "..."
"Kawaki-sama~ I also want a Christmas gift~," A Hyakka member walked in gracefully and said coquettishly.
"I also want~"
"Me too~"
"What Christmas present do you want?" Kawaki asked with a smile.
"If it's possible~ I want Kawaki-sama's kiss~," A Hyakka member said.
"Hey! You are too shameless! How can Kawaki-sama like a woman like you!" Another Hyakka member said unhappily.
"What did you say?"
Looking at the Hyakka members who were about to fight, Shinpachi was speechless. Then he slammed the door of Kawaki's room and left without looking back.
...
When Shinpachi found Gintoki in the sake house, Gintoki was already drunk.
"Gin-san, I have asked for the Christmas present that Kagura wants!" Shinpachi sat down and shouted at Gintoki.
"Eh?" The drunk Gintoki glanced at Shinpachi, "That kind of thing doesn't matter, right? Just save the money and let me drink a few more cups~"
"Hey, there's no need to give up on yourself! Didn't you want to give Kagura-chan a Christmas gift since yesterday?"
After that, Gintoki sat on the sofa with an expressionless face and lowered his head without saying a word.
At this time, Gintoki glanced at the meat buns on the table, "It really is the worst Christmas day..."
Then, Gintoki reached for the bag of meat buns, took out one, and started to eat...
When there were only two left, Gintoki stopped. Perhaps he thought of what Shinpachi had said at that time. Finally, Gintoki made up his mind. He picked up the remaining two meat buns, stood up, and rushed to the door.
However, at this moment, applause sounded. Kawaki and the others, who had hidden in advance, walked out.
"Gintoki, we all understand your feelings!" Kawaki covered his eyes and said.
"Isn't it possible to do it if you want to? I knew it!" Shinpachi also said with tears streaming down his face.
"He looks a little like a man." Tsukuyo continued.
"I didn't expect Gin-san to have such a side to him. You treat Kagura-chan..." Otae covered her mouth and murmured.
"Gin-san, you made me lose my pocket money for a month!" Seita curled his lips and said.
"I buy all the candied haws for you, right?" Hinowa smiled, "If you eat too much sweet food, you will become naturally wavy hair without energy."
"Gin-chan..." At this time, Kagura was so moved.
After a long time, Gintoki raised his head and said, "No, I just feel that I can't finish it and it will be a waste. I want to take the rest to the bun shop and return it."
"What did you say!" Kagura-chan took the lead and rushed up to kick Gintoki over, catching the remaining meat buns.
The whole room began to be noisy.
"Then let's have hotpot together! Let's eat hotpot today! We should eat hotpot in this weather!" Kawaki suggested.
"That's true." Otae echoed.
Gintoki, who was still lying on the ground, curled his lips and said softly, "It really is the worst Christmas day... But..." As he spoke, Gintoki looked at Kagura, who was holding a meat bun in one hand, "Happy Christmas..."
...
After the commotion, Kawaki sat on Yorozuya's roof and looked at the snowflakes that filled the sky. His thoughts were pulled to a distant past.
"Aren't you cold? Why are you in a place like this?" Gintoki's voice rang out.
"Meat buns," Kawaki said with a chuckle, "I still remember that I also made a wish for meat buns on Christmas. Gintoki, do you still remember?"
"That was a long time ago. I had long forgotten about it," Gintoki replied casually.
"You're right. After all, humans are creatures that are easy to forget." Kawaki jumped down from the roof, "Goodbye, I'm going back to play a new game."
Looking at Kawaki's back, Gintoki's thoughts were slowly pulled to a certain point.
