Chapter 332: No Matter Who You Are, There Will Be Times When You Can’t Remember What You Had for Lunch Yesterday!
Looking through the window of the car, Kawaki lazily stretched his waist as he watched the snowflakes constantly falling outside the window and the thick snow accumulating on the ground.
"In this kind of weather, it is the right choice to come out and soak in a hot spring or something." Kawaki sighed slightly. However, when he turned his head and saw a woman sitting next to him, his expression changed slightly. He frowned and snorted unhappily, "But then again, why did you follow me? It's really annoying."
"It's just surveillance," Tsukuyo said coldly, "An idiot who only stays in the house to play games 24 hours a day actually took the initiative to go out to soak in the hot spring. No matter how you think about it, it's abnormal."
"How unreliable am I in your heart?" Kawaki complained silently, "Do I look like the kind of man who would go back on his word?"
"It's really not like that," Tsukuyo shook her head and then looked at Kawaki with a judgmental expression, "It should be said that you are that kind of man."
"Hey!!" Kawaki became unhappy and shouted, "Enough, you stinking woman! In such cold weather, it is already my greatest tolerance to bring you, who will automatically cool down the surrounding environment! Can't you just keep your mouth shut and just say [Arigatou]?!"
"The one who should shut up is you," Tsukuyo replied indifferently.
"Bastard!" Kawaki rolled his eyes and shouted, but then he felt relieved and sighed, "Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you at this time. I just want to remind you that when you get to the place, don't be too rude. After all, that aunt is my benefactor."
"I really miss it. At that time," Kawaki turned his head and looked out of the window with a gentle face, "I almost starved to death because I couldn't eat for a long time. Fortunately, I was rescued by that aunt, so..."
Kawaki did not continue, but Tsukuyo looked at the emotional expression on Kawaki's face and secretly thought about something.
"Is there really no need to say hello in advance?" Tsukuyo asked lightly, "If it's full, the other party will be troubled, right?"
"No need, no need," Kawaki turned his head and waved his hand, "How could there be so many guests in that dilapidated hot spring?! There are only a few strange guests who live there for a long time, it seems that they are some kind of Amanto. Most importantly, I don't have Aunt contact number."
"Is that so..." Tsukuyo turned to look out the window, "But in this remote mountain, is there really a hot spring inn?"
"Yes, there is." Kawaki raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to me!"
"Really?" Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki with a doubtful expression, "By the way, does your brain really remember the way?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Who are you underestimating? Your not a real man if you can even forget the location of your benefactor!" Kawaki refuted without hesitation.
"Heh, is that so?" Tsukuyo had a face full of doubt.
"In short, the direction we're going in is definitely correct!" Kawaki crossed his arms and snorted. Then, he looked out of the window and said in surprise, "We're almost there!"
...
On the other side, the Yorozuya trio and Otae who had just gotten out of the bus and were wearing thick winter clothes, stood beside the road and looked up at the surrounding environment.
"It's really deep into the mountains." Shinpachi looked around and said with some emotion.
"According to Otose, this is a secret place that no one knows except acquaintances," Gintoki replied casually after glancing around.
"No matter where the hot spring is in this season, it has been fully booked," Otae explained with a smile and then turned to look at the mountain behind her, "It's like a dream to go to this kind of place for a leisurely soak in hot springs for winter vacation."
However, just as Otae finished speaking, a black limousine came from a distance and stopped in front of them with a sudden brake.
"Gin-san, didn't you say that no one knows about it except acquaintances?" Shinpachi said a little speechlessly.
"Maybe they are acquaintances." Gintoki said indifferently, "Let's go. We don't know each other anyway."
"I didn't expect that even rich people would come to such a place," Shinpachi said with some emotion, "It seems that this place must be a famous hot spring."
However, as the car door was pulled open, Shinpachi's expression instantly became subtle.
Looking at the two familiar figures that came out of the car, Shinpachi said expressionlessly, "Why are you here too?"
"I should be the one asking you." Kawaki snorted and crossed his arms over his chest, "Why are you here?"
"Oh, long time no see. Kawaki-san, Miss Tsukuyo." Otae greeted with a smile.
"Long time no see." Tsukuyo nodded slightly.
After hearing Kawaki's voice, Gintoki visibly clicked his tongue.
"Hey! What's with that attitude? It's really rude, bastard!" Kawaki rolled his eyes and scolded.
"Let's go, Shinpachi, Kagura. There are times when you encounter wild idiots in the wild. Don't get close or feed them easily. You will be infected." Gintoki reminded without turning his head.
"Who are you calling an idiot?! Idiot!" Kawaki cursed.
...
On the small road in the mountains.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to also come here to soak in the hot spring," Shinpachi said with a smile as he walked, "By the way, did you also come here under Otose's invitation? I heard that the proprietress here is Otose's old friend. That's why she took special care of us."
"No," Kawaki crossed his arms and replied, "A few years ago, I received a favor from the proprietress here. But it's really incredible. I didn't expect that auntie to know that old woman downstairs of your house."
"Yes, it's really an incredible fate."
"Speaking of which, you guys must not be too rude. After all, she is my benefactor." Kawaki reminded.
"Don't worry, Kawaki-san," Shinpachi patted his chest and said, "We are not the kind of people who will be rude to others."
"No, that idiot is hard to say," Kawaki looked at Gintoki, who was walking in front of the crowd, "If that idiot is here, he will definitely be impolite!"
"Although this possibility is very high, I will try my best to remind Gin-san. Don't worry, Kawaki-san." Shinpachi quickly replied.
"I hope so." The corners of Kawaki's mouth twitched as he casually replied. However, he suddenly thought of something, "Wait! Wait! That, you and your sister are here. What about the dojo? Seita really wanted to follow us today. In the end, he went to the dojo reluctantly to practice under the pressure of Hinowa."
"That doesn't matter," Otae smiled and said, "I have already left a small note for Seita-kun. When he sees that, he will definitely understand. Moreover, I have left the snack fried egg I made this morning for Seita-kun. When he is tired of practicing, he can also replenish his strength."
After listening, Kawaki silently mourned for Seita in his heart for 0.01 seconds.
At this time, on the other side, inside Koudoukan.
Seita was wearing the uniform of a disciple, standing in the empty field he was waving his sword while unhappily muttering, "What is this? It's too irresponsible! Why did you abandon your students at this time, and the siblings go out to soak in the hot spring?!"
"And Brother Kawaki and Sister Tsukuyo!" Seita gritted his teeth and continued angrily, "Adult is a bunch of unreliable fellows! Bastard! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!..."
...
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the inn, Gintoki suddenly said with a hint of doubt, "I always have a bad feeling that there must be something behind that old woman's sudden kindness."
"If you can't frankly accept other people's good intentions, you won't have a future." Shinpachi reminded, "And didn't Kawaki-san say that the aunt who runs this hot spring inn is a good person, and she once saved Kawaki-san."
"Gintoki, if you have a skeptical attitude towards all the kindness in life, you will live a very difficult life." Kawaki spread his hands and complained, "In that case, it is better to die now. If you die, you will be free. Do you need me to help you? I am very willing."
"Shut up, idiot," Gintoki said somewhat impatiently.
...
The six people looked at the run-down inn front of them. They were all stunned in place. Above the inn, there were countless crows circling in the air. No matter how they looked at it, it did not look like there was someone here. There was no sign of life.
It was like a cemetery, and it was the real feeling of everyone except Kawaki.
"I really miss it. I didn't expect to have a chance to come here." Kawaki looked at the signboard with "Senboukyou" on the door covered by snow, and said with emotion.
"Wait a minute! Kawaki-san!" Shinpachi quickly pulled Kawaki, who wanted to step into the door, and asked, "Are you sure this is really the place?! Did we really not go the wrong way?! No matter how you look at it, there is only a ruined inn here! I didn't look at the map because you said that you knew the way!"
Tsukuyo snorted and said with a hint of disdain, "I knew that this idiot would never remember the way clearly, let alone the things that happened so long ago."
"Indeed, this idiot is the kind of person who can't even remember what he had for lunch yesterday. He absolutely can not remember this kind of thing." Gintoki nodded in agreement.
"There's no other way. Shin-chan, you lead the way." Otae said.
"No, no. Although this place does look a little run-down, the food here is the same as any hot springs inn." Only then did Kawaki turn around and answer with a serious face.
"No, no, no, it's too suspicious! No matter how you look at it, this place doesn't look like it has a living person!" Shinpachi shook his head like a rattle drum, "Maybe Kawaki-san remembered it wrongly. Let's follow the map."
