Chapter 236: No Matter How Delicious the Food Is, as Long as It Is Spoiled, It Can’t Be Eaten...

Evening, in a small shop.

"Welcome~," Tama lowered her head and greeted. However, when Tama raised her head, she realized that it was Kawaki who had arrived. The smile on her face instantly became thicker, "Kawaki-sama!"

"Ara, what a rare guest." Otose, who was standing at the counter with a cigarette in her hand, gently puffed out a cloud of smoke. At the same time, she glanced at Kawaki, who had opened the door and entered.

"Ah, sorry to disturb you..." Kawaki said casually as he touched the back of his head. Then, he walked in and sat down in front of the counter.

"Our shop doesn't have that kind of thing," Otose replied.

"Then forget it," Kawaki said indifferently. He then took out an envelope from his bosom and placed it on the counter, "It's for the last month."

Otose wanted to take it, but Catherine was one step ahead of her.

"Is this all?" Catherine pointed at the money in the envelope and said unhappily, "The food that the big stomach girl ate is not something that can be solved with just this amount of money! If you want to pay it back, return my lost youth, you bastard!"

"What kind of terrible line is this... Speaking of which, it is not your turn to say this, right? Youth? Do you have that kind of thing?!" Kawaki spat expressionlessly, then turned around and vomited, "Please stay away from me a little bit. Seeing your face, I can't help but vomit..."

"How rude! You bastard!" Catherine was unhappy.

"It's too noisy! Bring it to me, bastard!" Otose knocked on Catherine's fist and took the envelope from Catherine's hand.

...

"Then, I'll be going..." As he spoke, Kawaki stood up and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going to wait a little longer?" Otose said, "That child will be back soon."

"What do you mean?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.

However, just as he finished speaking, the door of Otose's Snack House was pulled open. He saw Tama carrying a shopping bag enter. She looked travel-worn, and her clothes were covered in dust.

"Are you going to participate in the robot sprint competition?" Kawaki asked expressionlessly.

Tama did not answer. Instead, she walked over and handed the shopping bag to Otose. Then, she turned around to greet the other customers.

"Okay," Otose took out two bottles of Chinese wine from the shopping bag and placed them on the counter, "Do you want to drink two cups?"

"That would be nice." Kawaki smiled and sat down in front of the counter again.

...

Otose's Snack House at night was the busiest time of its day.

"How do you feel?" Otose asked, "Is this your first time drinking in such a noisy store? How do you feel?"

"I feel the same as your face. It can't be any worse." Kawaki blurted out as he put down his glass.

However, just as she finished speaking, Otose inadvertently glanced at Catherine, who was also clutching her stomach and squatting on the ground with a painful face.

"Did you eat it too in the end?!"

...

The next day, at Oedo Hospital.

"This time, I will definitely blackmail that old woman!" Gintoki, who was wearing a hospital gown, sat on the hospital bed and said angrily, "She actually gave the guests that kind of spoiled food..."

"Gin-san, it's all your own self-inflicted suffering," Shinpachi sat on the hospital bed on the side and curled the corners of his mouth, "Speaking of which, we are also the same..."

"So... it's not unreasonable for me to hate seafood..." Kawaki, who was also wearing a hospital gown, lay on the bed and curled his lips in disdain.

"Then it's all your fault!" Gintoki grabbed the pillow and threw it directly at Kawaki, "If you hadn't ordered some crab, we wouldn't have fallen to this point! Take responsibility, bastard!"

"Can you be any more shameless?" Kawaki retorted expressionlessly, "Weren't you the one who snatched the food?! Why did you make it sound like it was all my fault?! Besides, I wasn't the one who ordered that! Tama was the one who brought it up!"

"It seems that the robot will also take revenge on the man who abandoned it." Gintoki teased.

"Shut up, bastard!" Kawaki rolled his eyes and scolded, "It is not that kind of relationship! Only you will like robots, Hideki Motosuwa!"

(Hideki Motosuwa: The male lead of "Chobits", voiced by Tomokazu Sugita.)

"What do you know about Hideki?!" Gintoki shouted, "Hideki is also very hardworking!"

"Well, you two don't have to quarrel," Shinpachi hurriedly came out to mediate, "You should get along with each other occasionally, right? And now we are in a hospital. It's not good to make a big fuss."

"What an annoying guy." Kawaki spat disdainfully and then turned to look out of the window, ignoring Gintoki.

At this time, a familiar person appeared at the door of the ward.

"They are the patients who will be admitted to this ward today," The nurse explained to Hasegawa, who was wearing a hospital gown, with a smile, "You have to get along well with them."

Looking at the familiar people in the ward, the corners of Hasegawa's eyes twitched.

At the same time, Kawaki and the Yorozuya trio, who were in the ward, also found Hasegawa at the door of the ward.

...

"Hey? Are all of you Hasegawa's friends?" The nurse said with a smile, "That's great, Hasegawa-san. You won't be lonely during the hospitalization."

"Don't say that, Miss Uchino," Hasegawa smiled embarrassedly while sitting on the hospital bed, "I'm just like-minded friends with them."

"Wait a minute, did you say something bad just now?" Gintoki sat on the bed beside him and complained expressionlessly.

"Don't be mistaken," Kawaki said at the same time, "We are not friends. If you insist on it... I should be like his life mentor."
