Chapter 336: Self-deception Is Bad!
Seeing the embarrassment of the two, Otae slowly knelt down and slowly said, "Don't hide it. Tell us everything. We will listen carefully. No matter what we hear, we will not be surprised."
Hearing this, Gintoki and Shinpachi lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time. In the end, they chose to tell everything they saw.
"That... that..." Gintoki and Shinpachi raised their heads at the same time and said at the same time, "Actually..."
Before they finished speaking, the door behind them was suddenly pulled open. The sound startled Gintoki and Shinpachi, and the truth that they were about to say was also swallowed back.
"It's time for snacks." said Oiwa, who was carrying a tray of peanuts, "I brought the afternoon tea snacks."
Oiwa smiled. However, this smile was more like a devil's smile to Gintoki and Shinpachi.
"We have to trouble you," Said Otae politely with a smile.
"No, no. Just treat this place as your own home." As she spoke, Oiwa bent down and placed the wooden tray on the floor. Then, she knelt down and sat down, "Also, the bath has already been prepared. You can go whenever you want. We still need to wait for dinner because Kawaki-kun has a big appetite. I still need to prepare for a while more."
"Yes, thank you." Otae smiled and replied.
Then, Oiwa stood up with a smile. However, as she stood up, the corners of her mouth moved slightly. She whispered in a voice that only Gintoki and Shinpachi could hear...
"I will kill you if you dare to speak out."
...
Looking at the back of the proprietress who was slowly leaving, and seeing the proprietress who was still feeding peanuts to the Stand while walking, Shinpachi and Gintoki instantly broke out in cold sweat. At the same time, they fell into deep doubt.
'!!! What... what is going on?! What... is that!' Gintoki was feeling bad, 'What is the background of that old woman?'
'She knows!' Shinpachi looked at Gintoki, 'The proprietress has completely noticed!'
'What noticed?' Gintoki squatted in the corner, shivering and curling into a ball. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, 'She feeds peanuts to the Stand! Incredible, we have come to an incredible place! !'
Then, Gintoki suddenly shrank and came to a conclusion in his mind, 'This hot spring inn is an inn that the old woman raised... an inn where Stand was raised!'
Then, the two of them fell into a strange silence. However, only a few seconds later, as if they had agreed on it, the two of them got up at the same time and turned around. At the same time, they started running in the direction of the inn entrance. They didn't even have time to put on their shoes.
Kagura shouted a few times from behind, but the two of them didn't react at all and only focused on fleeing desperately.
"Hurry up and leave! Even if it's just a second, leave this hotel quickly!!" Gintoki said as he ran, "If we stay in that kind of place, we will definitely be eaten up by those ghosts! Who cares about the bus? Go down the mountain on foot!"
"Yes!!!"
However, when the two of them reached the halfway point of the mountain, they discovered that a huge stone with a diameter of over five floors was firmly blocking their way down the mountain.
Listening to the comforting sound of passers-by on the other side of the stone, Shinpachi and Gintoki once again lowered their heads and fell into a strange silence.
After a long time, the two of them raised their heads and smiled bitterly. However, although they were smiling, their faces were covered in tears. In addition, if you looked closely, you could find that there were countless translucent figures baring their fangs and claws behind the two of them...
...
In the evening, after dinner.
In the female bath, Kagura had a towel on top of her head, soaking in the hot spring and leaning against a rock on the side.
"Phew~" Kagura exhaled, looking satisfied, "I'm so full-aru. The food that the aunt made is really good. After eating, soaking in the hot spring is really comfortable."
"Indeed," Otae, wrapped in a bath towel, sat on a rock at the side. She narrowed her eyes and smiled as she echoed, "Although I was a little worried at first that this hot spring would be too old, it looks like a pretty good hot spring from the looks of it. Moreover, the proprietress is also a very good person."
"It seems that that idiot would occasionally find some reliable places." Tsukuyo, who was leaning on the other side, even though she was soaking in the hot spring, still held a kiseru in her hand. She gently smoked and slowly exhaled.
"The best thing is that there is no one here at all-aru. It's just like booking the whole place." Kagura stretched lazily and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Moreover, you can eat delicious food without spending money. It's really amazing. I almost really don't want to go back-aru."
"But then again..." Otae changed the topic and looked at Tsukuyo beside her, "This is the first time I have soaked in a hot spring with Miss Tsukuyo. I feel that there is something inexplicable."
"Is it because of Oppai-aru?" Kagura asked.
"Kagura-chan, do you want to be pressed under the hot spring by me and not be able to breathe for thirty minutes?" Otae said with a smile.
"It's just a hindrance," Tsukuyo said disapprovingly, "When fighting, it's too much of a hindrance."
"Miss Tsukuyo, do you know that this sentence really makes people very angry?" Otae said with a fake smile, but just as she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed something and could not help but laugh. Then she pointed to the two monkeys soaking in the hot spring, "Ara, it seems that the guests are not just us."
"Oh!" KKagura looked at the two monkeys and said in surprise, "Kondo, is here too?!"
"No, Kagura-chan," Otae corrected, "It's just a mountain monkey.I didn't expect that even the monkey in the mountain came down to soak in the hot spring. I wonder if it's a female monkey who came because of the beautifying effect."
"His entire body is full of hair-aru. What a luxurious guy." Kagura curled his lips in disdain, "But the but is like pudding."
"But it's really not bad to come to this hot spring occasionally." Otae smiled and then shouted in the direction of the male bath next door, "Gin-san, Kawaki-san, how is the situation on your side?"
"It's almost the same as your side," Kawaki said lazily, leaning against a rock beside the hot spring, "It's pretty comfortable, but I don't know why Gintoki and Shinpachi don't seem to be in the mood. They don't look happy at all."
"Ara, really?" Otae yelled back, "Is it because they've been soaking in it for too long that they got dizzy? Shin-chan, if you can't hold on, you have to go out."
"What a useless man," Kagura said with disdain.
In the male bath, Kawaki looked at the expressionless Gintoki and Shinpachi and could not help but say, "I say, what exactly is going on between you two? Today, you two are really a bit strange. If there is something, why don't you just say it? After all, there are only the three of us here. I will definitely not laugh at you, absolutely."
"Hehehehe..." Gintoki twitched his lips and looked around at the countless translucent figures surrounding him and Shinpachi, "Three people? Are you sure? Are you really blind? Are you really not playing dumb?"
"Huh? What? Did you see something strange?" Kawaki said doubtfully, then glanced around,, "No, not even a monkey,"
"Hey... don't... don't joke around," Gintoki's tongue started to get knotted, "So many translucent Stands that are like water vapor, can you really not see it?"
"Stand? Speaking of which, you have always been so crazy today. Are the two of you really okay? If you really don't want to hang out, why don't you just get out?" Kawaki frowned and suggested.
"Get... get out? Hehehe..." Gintoki turned around, his face full of cold sweat, "How... how do I get out? Can you tell me where the way out is? With the surroundings being tightly blocked by Stand, can you tell me where the way out is? "
"What exactly are you talking about?" Kawaki was puzzled, "You really are dizzy after soaking in it for too long. Your face is very ugly, and there is so much sweat."
"Gin-san, stop talking. Kawaki-san, who can't see the Stand, has a different view than the world we see." Shinpachi reminded him in a low voice, "No matter how much you say, he can't understand."
"What do you mean? What do you mean the world is different? Shouldn't we live in the same world?" Gintoki curled his lips, then turned his head and shook Shinpachi's shoulder hard, shouting loudly, "Why? Why can this guy be so comfortable? Is it because he can't see the Stand and can be so comfortable? Then, can we do it too? As long as we ignore it, we can do it! As long as we tell ourselves in our hearts that the Stand doesn't exist, we can be like him! Answer me, Shinpachi!"
"Even if we do that, it is meaningless, Gin-san." Shinpachi replied expressionlessly, "I have already told myself in my heart more than a few times, but it is useless."
"Wait a minute..." Gintoki suddenly thought of something, "If you take a closer look, these guys are all steam, right? No matter what, we can't be living in another world. That's right, these are just steam. We should still live in the same world as this idiot!"
"No, not at all," Shinpachi sighed, "Speaking of which, Gin-san. It's about time you accept reality, right?"
"No, it's steam!" Gintoki said resolutely, "It's because I'm too scared that I'm imagining seeing a translucent figure. Shinpachi, breathe it in, You'll get morning sickness."
"Why're we talking about a pregnant woman now?!"
"Don't worry about that. I'll help you to take a closer look!" As he spoke, Gintoki pushed Shinpachi closer to one of the Stand.
"AHH!!!!" Shinpachi had no time to struggle free. He looked at the Stand that was getting closer and closer and shouted in horror.
"It's so noisy. You two, if you want to quarrel, can you go out and quarrel?" Kawaki frowned and complained.
"You shut up!" Gintoki shouted, but just as he finished speaking, Gintoki suddenly found that the Stand around them had disappeared. He was immediately happy, "Shinpachi, look, there is nothing. It is indeed steam, it is just steam!!"
