Chapter 395: If You Don’t Win by Yourself, It Won’t Have Any Effect at All!
Maybe a Fake Gintama Chapter 395 If You Don't Win by Yourself, It Won't Have Any Effect at All!
'Sh*t!! If this goes on, this kid will definitely enter the finals!' Toshiro thought to himself, 'I was too careless. If only I had predicted this person's plan in advance, it would not have ended in such a tragic form. How could it be fixed?'
'I thought that idiot's head was empty and there was no threat. I didn't expect him to think of such a plan himself... This is really bad.' As he thought, Gintoki glanced at Otsuu, who was holding the microphone, 'A girl at this age will undoubtedly fall directly. I have to think of a way quickly. Otherwise, my bonus...'
Just as Gintoki was racking his brains to think of a way, Otsuu-chan finally announced the results of the second match.
"... The ones who entered the final and will have a decisive battle were Tsusengumi and------ Yoshiwara's team!"
"As expected." Kawaki cupped his hands and smiled with a relaxed expression.
"Gin-san... we... we lost..." Shinpachi lowered his head, unwilling to believe this result.
"I really underestimated that idiot. I didn't expect that his empty head could think of such a plot like the Hotarubi no Mori e." Gintoki looked at Kawaki, who was looking relaxed, and said hatefully.
"Hehe... hehe..." Shinpachi began to doubt his life, "I never thought... I never thought that the Imperial Guards, the only team among the three teams who truly loved Otsuu-chan, would actually lose... Hahahaha..."
"Calm down! Shinpachi!" Gintoki quickly comforted him. Then, he glanced at Kagura and Taka-tin and continued, "The two of you, come and help as well! Shinpachi is dying because he doesn't want to believe in reality! Hurry up!"
"Shinpachi!" Kagura shouted, and then directly kicked Shinpachi in the stomach, sending him flying, "Pull yourself together! How can you still do tasks in Yorozuya if you can't stand this little setback?! Hey----! You good-for-nothing glasses!"
"In this case, Yoshiwara's team will also get one point!" The host announced, "And after two matches, Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards who still have zero points will be eliminated! The final winner will be decided in the final battle!"
As he spoke, the host glanced at Shinpachi, who had fallen to the side and was completely submerged in depression, and Kagura, who was riding on him and punching him one by one, and continued, "What a pity. I thought that the Imperial Guards would definitely move on. After all, as far as I know, Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards' Shimura-san was already a hardcore fan when Otsuu-chan was still performing on the streets. But I didn't expect that they would only get third place in the end. For Shimura-san, he must be unwilling to believe this result..."
"However, the result has already come out. We should face the reality properly and then take away the prize that belongs to third place." As he spoke, the host looked at the script in his hand, "The prize for third place is...a luxury prize containing dozens of collector's edition FPS games..."
"Eh?" Kawaki was instantly stunned, and the expression on his face froze with the host's words. It took a few seconds for him to react, and he shouted loudly, "Wait, wait, wait!"
"What's wrong? Kawaki-san?" The host asked doubtfully.
"Stop joking! Isn't the luxury prize given to the winning team?!" Kawaki shouted.
"Huh? I don't think I've ever said that before, right?" The host continued, "The luxury price was set up to appease the emotions of the losers, which is also the prize for the third place."
"Shinpachi, there's a turning point!" Gintoki reminded in a low voice, "Get up quickly!"
Sensing something, Shinpachi quickly stood up, pushed up his glasses, and pricked up his ears to confirm what was the conversation between Kawaki and the host.
"You should have said this earlier!" Kawaki rolled his eyes and cursed angrily, "What do you think I've been working so hard for all this time, bastard!"
"Eh? Isn't it to become Otsuu-chan's official fan club?" The host asked doubtfully.
"Huh? Do I look like I have a brain problem? I would do this for a flat-chested woman?" Kawaki curled his lips and said with disdain.
"Yes, yes! How can Kawaki-sama work so hard for this kind of woman!" A Hyakka echoed.
"Let her look in the mirror and talk!" Another Hyakka continued.
"Burn your butt hair! Ugly girl!" The remaining Hyakka pointed at Otsuu and shouted.
"Well, I think I was wrong just now." Although she was smiling, several blue veins popped out on her face for no reason. Otsuu-chan then said, "It should be Tsusengumi and the Imperial Guard who entered the final match~"
"I don't know what happened... It seems that the result suddenly changed..." Shinpachi pushed up the glasses on his face and retorted expressionlessly.
"Isn't it good?" Gintoki said casually, "No matter what, we've already entered the finals."
"But I'm not happy at all," Shinpachi continued expressionlessly, "It's like being given charity by others."
...
Holding the luxury prize that belonged to the third place, Kawaki hummed a little tune and led the three Hyakka sisters step by step to the audience. Of course, when passing by Gintoki and the others, he did not forget to congratulate them.
"Congratulations, Shinpachi-kun." Kawaki stopped and looked at Shinpachi beside him. He smiled and continued, You've finally entered the final match. Good luck. Also, goodbye~"
As he spoke, Kawaki was about to go away, but before he could take a step, he was stopped by Sogo.
"Wait, boss."
"Sogo-kun? What's wrong?" Kawaki turned to look at Sogo, puzzled.
"Didn't we agree to send Hijikata to heaven?" Sogo spread out his hands and complained, "I thought that if it was with the boss, the two of us could definitely send Hijikata to heaven."
"About that..." Kawaki closed his eyes and quietly thought for a while. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "It can't be done. Whether it is V-shaped bangs or the other person, that kind of thing can't disappear."
"Huh? He can't disappear? What do you mean?" Shinpachi asked in surprise.
"In short, if he can't disappear, then he can't disappear," Kawaki shrugged, "Unless he commits seppuku now, that thing will not disappear."
"What do you mean?" Sogo asked.
"A personality that was created because of the cursed sword?" Kawaki sneered and said disdainfully, "Don't joke around. That was something that originally existed in that man's body. At the very most, it could only be considered to have been stimulated by the cursed sword. You want that thing to disappear? Ascend to heaven? Only an idiot would have such naive ideas."
"And..." As he spoke, Kawaki glanced at Toshiro who was standing in the middle of the stage. He once again looked at Sogo and Shinpachi in front of him, 'Even if he wanted to satisfy his personality, just winning this match was far from enough. Without relying on his own strength, even if he obtained everything, that thing would not feel satisfied. Therefore, even if he beats Shinpachi in the finals, there would not be any changes. Didn't I say it at the beginning? Games are only fun if you participate in them personally, and the same goes for the outcome. If you don't participate personally, it means nothing."
"This kind of thing should be quickly told to Hijikata-san!" Shinpachi said somewhat anxiously, "If he did not use his own strength, Otaku Tosshi wouldn't ascend to heaven!"
"No need, that person shouldn't be stupid to this extent," Kawaki shrugged and said indifferently, "Even if he doesn't understand it now, he will definitely understand it in the end. Moreover, this kind of thing usually only works when the person himself notices it. A reminder from someone else? It has no effect at all."
"And..." Kawaki wanted to say something, but then sighed and continued, "Well, forget it, I'm going back. Today's goal has been completed. I'm going back to play games. Goodbye."
...
Looking at Kawaki and his group walking further and further away with the luxury prize in their arms, Shinpachi frowned and began to think about what Kawaki had just said.
"Don't just stand there. The final battle is about to begin," Gintoki reminded.
"But..." Shinpachi lowered his head and said with some disappointment, "According to what Kawaki-san said, if Otaku Tosshi can't ascend to heaven, wouldn't Hijikata-san be very pitiful? All his previous efforts have been in vain."
"Don't mind that idiot's words." Gintoki waved his hand, "Maybe that idiot just feels unhappy."
"Unhappy?" Shinpachi was puzzled.
"He felt very unhappy that he wanted to erase his other self," Gintoki explained, "Actually, there should be a better way..."
"A better way?"
"Isn't that idiot who walked away a good example? "Gintoki continued casually, "Merging the original personality with the game OTAKU personality into one or something. "
"Eh?! Does Kawaki-san have that kind of experience" Shinpachi couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Gintoki in shock.
"I thought you already knew!" Gintoki pretended to say in an exaggerated manner. Then, he raised his index finger and continued, "At that time, when we were fighting Team Jabberwock, weren't we suppressed by that guy named Nash Gold Jr. who had the Belial Eye? In the end, it seems that the two personalities merged into one..."
"Shut up!" Shinpachi quickly interrupted, "That's a plot point from another work you're talking about! Don't play voice actor jokes at this time! Don't talk about Seijuro here!
(Seijuro: Seijuro Akashi, a character in Kuroko no Basket (voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya), is characterized by having two personalities. In the EXTRA GAME sequel, the two personalities merge into one and help Kuroko and Kagami defeat the famous American street basketball team, Jabberwock.)
"In short, don't think so much about it," Gintoki continued, "Your task is not to cooperate with sending that personality into heaven. What is your real purpose in participating in the competition? Have you forgotten?"
"No!" Shinpachi shook his head, and the depression on his face instantly disappeared. He continued with a face full of sincerity, "I came to protect Otsuu-chan! I came to prevent Otsuu-chan from being tainted by those people who don't love her at all!"
"That's right, let's go."
...
Because Kawaki's Yoshiwara team took too long in the second match, when the host announced the start of the third match, the sky had completely darkened.
The host and Otsuu-chan stood on the stage, and Tsusengumi, led by Toshiro, and Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards, led by Shinpachi, stood on the two sides of the host and Otsuu-chan respectively.
In the applause and cheers of the audience, the host cleared his throat, raised the microphone, and shouted, "The decisive battle of the Terakado Tsuu's Official Club! There is only one match left in the three-match pianist battle to determine the winner! The final showdown has finally come! Among the many fans, there are only two teams that stand out from the crowd and advance to the finals, namely - the Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards]!"
As he spoke, the host turned his face slightly and glanced at Toshiro and the others beside him. He then said, "...On the other side, we have the team led by Otaku Tosshi, which has lived up to its name - the Tsusengumi!"
"Both teams have one point, so the third match is the real decisive battle! The outcome will be revealed in this battle!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground. At the same time, everyone found that a boxing ring slowly rose from an empty ground in front of the stage.
"Now! The final battle is about to begin!" The host made an inviting gesture, "The representatives of the two teams, please enter the ring!"
...
Standing in the ring, Shinpachi, who was wearing a red boxer glove, only had seriousness in his eyes.
"Shinpachi, this is the end of what we can do for you." It was rare for Gintoki to become serious. He looked at Shinpachi and said, "From now on, it will be your battle."
Shinpachi nodded slightly and then walked towards the center of the ring. At the same time, he thought to himself, 'I can't lose. I absolutely can't lose. For the sake of everyone who's helped bring me here, I must win!'
On the other side, Toshiro said softly to Kondo, who had just put on the blue boxing glove and turned to leave, "Thank you. I will treat you later."
After that, Toshiro slowly walked towards the center of the ring.
"Toshiro, I won't forgive you if you lose. Go and take it back. Use your hands to take back your own existence." Kondo snorted softly and reminded him without looking back.
'I will stand above all otaku. I will take this body back from Otaku Tosshi.' Toshiro thought as he walked.
Toshiro and Shinpachi were ready to fight. They stood opposite each other in the middle of the ring, their eyes filled with the same fighting intent.
'Let's end this!' The two thought at the same time.
Looking at Shinpachi and Toshiro who were fully prepared, the host slowly walked over and stood between the two of them. He said, "The third and final match will test your collecting abilities!"
"Huh? What?" Shinpachi was instantly dumbfounded. He squinted his eyes and asked, "We aren't playing boxing?"
"If it's Otsuu-chan's goods that you love, you will collect everything!" The host explained, "As fans, you naturally have assembled all kinds of paraphernalia related to your dear Otsuu-chan. How hardcore have you been in gathering Otsu-chan paraphernalia? That will be the key to this contest!"
