Chapter 345: Fortune Favors Fools!

"This inn... I will protect it!" Tagosaku, who was obviously about to lose his mind, shouted, "If I collect everyone's spirits, there will be many guests! You won't be lonely anymore, Oiwa!"

"What are you talking about!" Oiwa continued to persuade him, "Do you want to absorb all the spirits of the creatures in the mountains? If this goes on, their body will rot, and all the creatures in this mountain will die. Stop! Why don't you listen to me? TAGUSAKU!"

However, Tagosaku did not react at all. After a loud roar, the wind hole in his chest opened up to its maximum power, and the strong suction force dragged all the spirits into his body one by one.

"It's hopeless! Even the proprietress' words are useless!" Shinpachi supported his body and forced himself to stand, barely speaking.

"The Stand went berserk," Rei analyzed with a serious expression, "If such a large number of spirits gather in the same area for a long time, the negative resentment will continue to gather. The Stand power will gradually affect the surroundings. Soon, this place will become a place that even humans can not set foot in."

Rei looked at the people at the side and continued, "This is already a Demon Realm that deviates from the laws of nature. If you go on like this, the negative resentment will continue to increase, and the Demon Realm will swallow this world!"

"How could it be... How could you..." Oiwa looked at Tagosaku in disbelief. Just as she was about to say something, her feet slipped and she was almost sucked in. She quickly stood up straight.

The suction force gradually increased. Rei was first to be hit and flew uncontrollably toward Tagosaku. Fortunately, there was a tree in the middle. Rei held the tree trunk tightly and was not sucked in.

"Are you going to suck us in too?" Shinpachi stood where he was, gritting his teeth as he struggled to resist the suction force, "Is he going to suck away all the spirits?! AHH!"

However, just as he finished speaking, Shinpachi could not hold on. His body involuntarily flew toward Tagosaku.

"Shin-chan! Hold on tight!" Otae, who was holding a tree trunk, reached out her hand and grabbed Shinpachi tightly.

"Hey! If the two of you are sucked away, you will be dead for sure!" Gintoki reminded. Then, he stretched out a hand and said, "For the time being, hide in my body for a while!"

"Hurry up! Come over here!" Gintoki holding a pillar extended his hand to Otae and the others.

Kagura, who was also holding the tree trunk like Otae, was also trying to get closer to Gintoki's hand.

"There's only a little left! Try harder!" Gintoki gritted his teeth and looked at the hand that was about to touch Kagura, "Right now..."

The two hands were about to touch, but at this moment, Gintoki's own Stand was suddenly sucked out of his mouth and heavily smashed onto Kagura and the others. They were almost sucked over because of this.

Fortunately, Kagura was still holding the tree trunk tightly, and the group of people was lucky enough not to be sucked over.

"The Stand called Gin-san has flown out!" Shinpachi kept shouting, "Oh no!"

"What are you doing, your natural wavy hair?!" Otae grabbed Gintoki's leg tightly and cursed.

"This suction force is really powerful. I really want to have one at home!!" Gintoki shouted.

"You have also become a Stand!" Shinpachi loudly reminded.

"Well, what Kawaki-san heard just now should be the wind." Shinpachi smiled awkwardly, "Sure enough, he still can't hear it."

"It's a bit too late to say it now! My throat is about to split open!" Gintoki cursed hoarsely.

"Kawaki-kun, please come out! Dinner is ready!" On another tree, the proprietress was also hugging the tree trunk tightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Kawaki opened the door and stood at the door. At the same time, the suction stopped again.

Gintoki and the others: ...

"Auntie! Really?!" Kawaki looked at the proprietress excitedly, "Is there really dinner?!"

"This guy is an idiot. He is definitely an idiot." Gintoki complained, "Although I'm saved, I don't feel happy at all."

The rest of the people nodded in silence.

"Well, we still have to wait for a while. How about we wait here for a while? It'll be fine under the eaves over there." The proprietress let go of the tree trunk and revealed an awkward smile.

"It's cold outside." Kawaki hugged his body and exhaled a breath of cold air, "I'll catch a cold. I'll go back and wait."

"Wait! Just a few minutes will be enough!" The proprietress hurriedly stopped, "A few minutes is enough! Just ten minutes! And it's not good to stay in the room all day long. You should come out to take a breath of air occasionally!"

Hearing this, Kawaki couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Haha, auntie, I always heard this sentence in my daily life."

"Ahaha... is that so..." The proprietress smiled awkwardly.

"Well, forget it. I'll just wait here for a while. I'm really looking forward to it." As he spoke, Kawaki lay down under the eaves while wrapped in a blanket that he had grabbed from an unknown place, his face full of anticipation.

After a few seconds, Kawaki's slight snoring sounded...

"How should I put it? In short, my mood is very complicated now..." Shinpachi adjusted his glasses and retorted expressionlessly.

"So didn't I say it already? An idiot has an idiot's blessing," Gintoki said disdainfully, "But I didn't expect this idiot to be so stupid."

On the other side, the proprietress slowly walked to the already quiet Tagosaku and raised her head to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "That's enough, dear, and... everyone. I should be the one to apologize to everyone. I... I seem to have done something very excessive to everyone."

"Oiwa..."

"I finally understand that the reason why everyone is imprisoned in this kind of place is neither because of nostalgia nor because of some hard-to-heal wounds, but because of me!" The proprietress had a sore nose and recalled, "The first time I saw everyone was when my mother passed away. The Stand appeared beside me, who's sad and alone. Now that I think about it, everyone will only appear when I am alone. I don't know when they are always by my side."

"Sometimes crying with me, sometimes laughing with me. I don't know when it started, but there was no one around me but Stand. Of course, only my friends who I can see, I think I am the chosen one. This is the ability given to me by the heavens to complete my mission. This inn, the mission here is to gather those who failed to ascend to heaven. Let those who can't live in bliss at least ascend to heaven in this blissful hot spring."

"In this way, I let many souls ascend to heaven. When I saw them ascend, I also felt very satisfied!... It should have been like that, but when dear passed away, I suddenly noticed that there was nothing beside me except Stand. I had been alone ever since. If I didn't even have the Stand, I would really have nothing..."
