Chapter 334: Even Newscasters Can Slip Up Sometimes!
"It's still the proprietress who is sensible, not the same as this idiot." Gintoki curled his lips and said disdainfully.
However, just as Gintoki finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that a purple translucent figure had appeared behind the proprietress Oiwa! The most terrifying thing was that this figure was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it stared fixedly at Gintoki and Shinpachi!
In an instant, Gintoki and Shinpachi fell silent.
'Eh??...?... Which one?! Which is the proprietress?!' Gintoki silently opened the team voice chat with Shinpachi.
"I'm really sorry that I didn't come out to greet you." Oiwa had an apologetic smile on his face, "Because I'm the only "person" running this inn."
Shinpachi thought to himself, 'No, isn't there another one? Isn't there a translucent person behind her?!'
'Hey! What is that?! What is that behind her?!' Gintoki opened his mouth halfway. He was in a bad mood, 'Is it a baby? It's a baby! Somebody, please tell me that's a baby!'
'Although I also hope that is the case, this is obviously translucent, right? It is translucent at a glance, right?' Shinpachi looked ferocious.
'What translucent? This is an era where even politicians are semi-transparent. Everyone is doing some bad things! So there will always be a translucent baby!' Gintoki stared with his big red eyes and looked at Shinpachi.
'Don't glare at me! If you have the guts, glare at that translucent creature!' Shinpachi looked back at him, 'But it is still very strange. Sister and the others have no reaction at all! Kawaki-san is still catching up with the proprietress! Isn't it too strange? When they see such a strange baby, they usually have some reaction, right? Can't they see it? Are we the only ones who can see it?'
'I don't believe in ghosts, but I can't be wrong! That is a ghost! The proprietress must be haunted by a ghost, no, not only the proprietress but also the one I saw just now... Isn't this hot spring inn a very dangerous place?!'
"Oh dear, I just want to reminisce with Kawaki-kun." Oiwa suddenly reacted and turned to look at Gintoki and the others with an embarrassed smile, "I'm really sorry. Then, let me take the guests to the room first."
"Auntie, what about me?" Kawaki asked in confusion.
"Kawaki-kun will still live in the room he used to live in," Oiwa smiled, "It has always been empty. By the way, why don't the girl with you stay with Kawaki-kun?"
"No, no, no. I don't want to live with her." Kawaki shook his head, "It's better to let a woman live together. It's also more convenient."
"That's true," Oiwa covered her face and smiled. Then, she turned around and said, "Then, come with me."
...
Gintoki and Shinpachi walked at the back of the crowd and kept whispering something. From time to time, the two of them could still hear the laughter of Kawaki and Oiwa coming from the front.
"Shinpachi, don't talk nonsense. The Ghost Inn doesn't exist!" Gintoki retorted in a low voice, "No, absolutely not! If you don't admit it, I won't admit it!"
"Then what about the proprietress? How do you explain it?" Shinpachi retorted in a low voice.
"I also think it is incredible, but now my hunch seems to be right," Gintoki lowered his head and slowly analyzed. Then, he stopped and looked straight at Oiwa who was walking at the front, "That proprietress..."
As he said that, Gintoki's painting style changed suddenly, and he posed the classic Jojo stand and then said, "...is a Stand user!" There seemed to be a vague figure looming behind Gintoki, because of this figure, Gintoki suddenly seems invincible...
"No way!" Shinpachi retorted without hesitation, "How could there be such a Stand!"
"No matter how you look at it, that's a stand, right?" Gintoki retorted, and then explained, "I mean, basically, we're Stand users too, right? So we can also see the proprietress' Stand."
"Hold on! Since when did we become Stand users?"
"I usually hide it. Haven't you been using it all the time?" Gintoki asked, "That thing hanging on your ear."
"That's just a spectacles user, right? That thing hanging on your ear?! You know full well what it is. right? They're glasses!"
"Eh? So the name of your Stand was glasses." Gintoki stopped again and looked at Shinpachi with his hand on his chin.
"This guy is pissing me off." Shinpachi said expressionlessly, and then shouted, "Even at this point, you are still unwilling to admit the existence of a ghost? Take a good look at that!"
As he spoke, Shinpachi turned his head and pointed at Oiwa who was at the front. However, at this time, Shinpachi discovered that the purple translucent creature behind Oiwa had just now disappeared.
"Ah? The ghost... disappeared..."
"It's not a ghost, it's a Stand!" Gintoki corrected, and then he was puzzled, "Was that just now our illusion?"
"Because I was too scared, did I see something that I couldn't see?" Shinpachi murmured, "In short, just take it as that. I don't have the guts to admit the existence of that kind of thing and spend the night here."
After saying that, Shinpachi followed in the direction of the crowd again. Gintoki also moved at the same time.
"Yes, it was an illusion." Gintoki said as he walked, "It was a demon that our weak minds conjured up. We'd better shape up. We're samurai. How shameful!"
"Yes. We can't get lackadaisical just because we've come to a hot springs inn. Samurai must always be upright and alert!" Shinpachi nodded and agreed with him.
At this time, Oiwa, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. She turned her head and said with a hint of apology, "Well, I'm really sorry. The room is a little small. I thought that it would be a little narrow for four people to live together, so I prepared two rooms. But I didn't expect Kawaki-kun also brought guests, so I can only let the girls live together. Is that okay?"
"Yes," Otae replied with a smile.
"I can do with it." Tsukuyo nodded slightly.
"Ah, let's hurry up and eat. I'm so hungry~" Kawaki stood at the side with his hands on his head and complained impatiently.
"Don't worry, Kawaki-kun. I've already instructed... no, we still need to wait for dinner. Please be patient." Oiwa replied.
'Gin-san, did you hear that? Did she just say something? She definitely said it, right? Didn't she say that she was the only one in this inn? Who did she order?' Shinpachi looked at Gintoki.
'Calm down, Shinpachi. Did you forget what you just said? What we saw before was just an illusion!' Gintoki replied without thinking, 'Maybe the proprietress accidentally said something wrong! It's a very common thing, right? Even newscasters can slip up sometimes!'
'The situation is different!'
"Now there are just two guest rooms left. Which do you prefer? Japanese-style or western-style rooms?" Oiwa asked.
"You have Western-style rooms?" A hint of joy appeared on Kagura's face.
"It's good to sleep on the bed once in a while," Otae said with a smile.
"I can do it," Tsukuyo said casually.
"Japanese-style!" Gintoki said without hesitation.
"We are samurai!" Shinpachi echoed.
"Yes, fine. Samurai-sama, this way please." Oiwa faced a room to the side and made a gesture of invitation.
Looking at the room that Oiwa pointed to, Gintoki and Shinpachi were stunned on the spot. They saw that in the middle of the door was a big iron lock with a strange talisman attached. The big lock was firmly fixed by four iron chains. What was even more weird was that not only was there a strange talisman on the big lock, but the entire door was covered with strange talisman!
'It's sealed! It is clear that there are signs of a huge monster being sealed!' Half of Gintoki's face began to twitch, and cold sweat flowed down his face. 'What is this?! What exactly happened in this room?!'
'Not good, there is definitely something wrong with this inn!' The corner of Shinpachi's mouth twitched, and he slowly turned to look at Gintoki mechanically, 'What should we do? Gin-san! What should we do?'
However, at this moment, the voice of Oiwa calling Otae and the others came from behind Gintoki and Shinpachi again.
"Young ladies are over here." Oiwa pulled open the door of a room diagonally opposite Gintoki.
Gintoki and Shinpachi turned around and happened to see Otae and the other two enter the room while Oiwa gently closed the door.
"That, excuse me! Can we change to western-style?" Shinpachi hurriedly said.
"Eh?" Oiwa turned around and asked in confusion, "As samurai, do you want to live in a western-style?"
"We are fake samurai. We are no more..." Gintoki twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile.
"But the young ladies have already occupied it," Oiwa asked awkwardly, "Or is there anything you guys are not satisfied with?"
"I'm very sleepy. I need to go rest for a while, Auntie," Kawaki said after yawning.
"Ah, okay. When dinner is ready, I'll... I'll call you myself." Oiwa said with a smile.
"Oh, I got it." With that, Kawaki turned around and walked in another direction.
"Wait a minute!" Gintoki quickly shouted, then pointed at Kawaki, "Don't worry about the room, isn't it very tense here? In fact, three people can live together, and there is no need to occupy another room, Ah-hahaha..."
"I don't want to stay with the two of you." Kawaki waved his hand without looking back and said with some disdain.
"Didn't you say that the other party is your benefactor?! Is it okay to cause trouble to the benefactor?!" Gintoki shouted loudly.
In an instant, Kawaki stopped in his tracks, "That's right, it would be bad if it caused trouble."
After saying that, Kawaki turned to look at Gintoki and Shinpachi, "Since that's the case, come with me. Auntie, I'll be bringing them over."
"Then we can only do this."
Seeing this, Shinpachi and Gintoki quickly followed Kawaki, and at the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before the two of them could rejoice for a while, Gintoki and Shinpachi, who followed Kawaki to the door of a certain room, looked at the room in front of them that was countless times more terrifying than the previous room, and once again fell into a daze...
