My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"That's good." Shang Yang nodded slightly in relaxation, and then said casually.

"As for what to do first, of course I'll go to Edo Kabukicho to discuss business."

"...Going to Kabukicho to discuss business?" ×2

Hearing this, Shana and Kaguya nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing the two girls looking thoughtful, Shang Yang shrugged his shoulders, raised his head and looked into the distance.

In the distance, what came into Shang Yang's sight were the countless skyscrapers in the space port city of Edo, which were getting closer and closer.

Edo, we've arrived.

Twenty years ago, aliens known as "Celestial Beings" invaded this warrior kingdom in a powerful space fleet.

In the following years, in the anti-barbarian war launched by the samurai to resist foreign invaders, a young samurai in white went to the battlefield for a promise. Adhering to the belief of "protecting his companions", he fought against the invading heavenly people.

However, even though he killed enemy after enemy with the sword in his hand, and fought his way through a bloody path, even though he was called "White Yaksha" by the celestial beings who were extremely afraid of him, he found that no matter how many enemies he chopped down, he was just losing, losing, and could not protect the people he wanted to protect.

After the end of the Anti-Foreign War, the "White Yasha" that frightened the gods disappeared. The only one left was Sakata Gintoki, a man with silver curly hair, who was lazy all day long, had a pair of dead fish eyes, and ran a strange "Yojiya" in Kabukicho.

However, even so, the belief of "protecting his companions" still exists in his soul and has never been erased.

Edo, Kabukicho, Tose Tavern.

A man dressed in black, with a white kimono with blue cloud patterns half on the outside, a wooden sword tied at his waist, with silver natural curls and a pair of dead fish eyes that showed no ambition, was strolling lazily on the streets of Kabukicho. When he came to a small tavern called Tose Tavern and was about to turn around to go in, the sound of a car starting caught his attention.

Opposite the Dengshi Tavern, the owner of a medium-sized shop was happily directing his employees to load the items in the shop one by one onto the moving company's transport truck.

Seeing this scene, the man with naturally curly silver hair raised his hand in confusion, scratched the back of his head, turned around to lift the curtain of the tavern, walked lazily to the bar of the tavern and sat down, and asked in a voice without any enthusiasm.

"Mother-in-law, give me a glass of wine, is that okay?"

"This guy who doesn't pay his rent every month actually has the nerve to come here and ask for drinks."

Hearing this, the owner of the tavern, Granny Dengse, who had thick lipstick on her lips, took a puff of the cigarette in her hand and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Gintoki, only someone like you could do that."

"Hey, hey... Grandma, you didn't remember it wrongly, did you?"

Hearing the words of Grandma Tose scolding him, the man with naturally curly silver hair, Sakata Gintoki, half opened his dead fish eyes with no motivation.

"I have paid my rent this month."

"That's the rent you should have paid three months ago!"

After hearing what Gintoki said, Granny Tose complained dissatisfiedly.

"If you don't pay the rent quickly, you'll have to move out!"

"Ahh... I understand."

After nonchalantly picking his nose with his little finger, Gintoki scratched the back of his head as if complaining.

"Damn it, they're all like this, one after another. I can't help it. Ever since Kagura and Sadaharu came into the family, there's been a big hole in our monthly expenses, and we haven't had any commissions lately."

"Then you should take the initiative to find some work to do, Gintoki."

After listening to Gintoki's complaints, Granny Tose took another puff of her cigarette and advised.

"Kagura is at an age where she needs to grow. Eating only white rice every day is not good for her."

"Huh? Taking the initiative to find a job? Mother-in-law, I'm a jack of all trades, jack of all trades."

Hearing this, Gintoki scratched the back of his head and complained nonchalantly.

"People give me commissions, I complete them, and earn commission fees. That's the job of a jack-of-all-trades. Besides, proactively looking for work is such a hassle..."

Bang!

Before Gintoki could finish his words, the angry Granny Touse threw him out from the bar, hitting the ground outside the tavern.

"It hurts..."

Gintoki sat up, touched the back of his head where he was hit, looked at the curtain of the tavern, and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Damn old woman, you're so quick to attack me. I'm a guest!"

Hearing this, Granny Dengshi lit another cigarette for herself, took a puff, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Wait until you make some money before you say that, you bastard."

"Ahh... I get it! It's all about making money!"

Standing up, Gintoki walked towards the stairs on the side, while turning back to refute Granny Touse without showing any weakness.

"I'll go earn it right now, you old woman!"

Edo, Kabukicho, second floor of the Tose Tavern, Yorozuya.

"Damn it! That old woman, isn't she just trying to make money? If I, Yin, wanted to make money, I could easily make millions. Then not only would I pay your rent, I'd even buy out your tavern! That old woman!"

Pushing open the door, Gintoki was still scratching his head and complaining in dissatisfaction, then he walked to the entrance, kicked off his shoes casually, and walked towards the living room with a dull look in his eyes again, while greeting everyone.

"Kagura, Shinpachi, Gin is back..."

Wow.

The sound of the living room door opening.

Opening the door of the living room, Gintoki saw Kagura, who was lying on the sofa, reading comics and chewing pickled kelp, with a bun on her head and wearing a red cheongsam, and the giant dog, Sadaharu, who was sleeping on the floor.

"Ah, Xiaoyin, welcome back..."

Noticing Gintoki pushing the door open, Kagura raised her head, greeted Gintoki weakly, then lowered her head again, watching "Weekly Shonen Jump" while chewing vinegared kelp.

"Hey, Kagura."

Seeing Kagura's appearance, Gintoki closed the door and advised.

"If you eat while lying down, it will cause gastroptosis and you'll develop a huge beer belly."

"It's okay~"

Hearing Gintoki's words, Kagura, who was lying on her stomach, answered nonchalantly while turning over and lying on her back, and answered proudly.

"I'm not only eating vinegared kelp while lying down, I'm eating it while lying down. If I do that, Mr. Sagging Stomach will definitely go home safely while I'm lying down."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Mr. Wei turns out to be such an easy-going person."

Hearing this, Gintoki walked to the chair behind the table in the room and sat down, crossing his legs while scratching his silver natural curls and complaining.

"That's great, Mr. Stomach. I wish Mr. Blood Sugar was as easy to talk to as Mr. Stomach. Then I, Gin, could eat my favorite Uji Gintoki Don to my heart's content."

Hearing Gintoki's words, Kagura nodded in agreement.

"It seems Mr. Blood Sugar must be a serious person."

Then, Kagura turned around again and asked curiously.

"Although I'm usually just as unmotivated, I feel like Xiaoyin is particularly unmotivated today. What happened?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

Hearing this, Gintoki waved his hands and answered without any enthusiasm.

"It's just that the old lady downstairs was complaining about the rent again. Seriously, it's not my fault that there are no commissions. 意7@⑥13[爾贰玖|贰... By the way, Kagura, where did Shinpachi go?"

"Gin! Kagura-chan!"

Before Kagura could answer, the living room door was pushed open with a loud noise, and a young man wearing glasses and with no special features rushed into the room, shouting excitedly.

"A commission has arrived!"

This nondescript young man is the last employee of the Yorozuya, wearing human glasses - Shinpachi Shimura.

"...A commission?"

Hearing this, Gintoki raised his hand, picked his nose with his little finger, and asked in a tone of disbelief.

"What are you talking about? Lao Ba, if there is a commission, then where is the client?"

"Listen to me, Yin."

Seeing that Gintoki didn't believe that there was a commission, Shinpachi seemed very anxious and hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket.

"There really is a commission!"

"Eh, really?!"

Seeing the letter in Shinpachi's hand, Gintoki stood up in surprise, walked to Shinpachi in three or two steps, and snatched the letter from Shinpachi's hand. On the front of the envelope, the four Chinese characters "致万事屋" were written in very neat regular script.

"Huh? It's actually true."

After seeing the letter, Kagura also put down "Weekly Shonen Jump", stood up from the sofa, stood on the sofa, and moved closer to Gintoki's head, preparing to read the letter with Gintoki while complaining.

"I'm really worried about him for using such a formal commission to ask a favor from a Yorozuya shop that often causes trouble for others."

"Please don't say such things at a time like this, okay? Kagura-chan!"

Hearing Kagura's words, Shinpachi instinctively complained to her.

"Although our Yorozuya's commission completion record isn't great, Gin and I take every commission seriously, don't we?!"

"Well, no matter what, since we have a commission, it is indeed a good thing."

While comforting Kagura and Shinpachi in a perfunctory tone, Gintoki opened the thin envelope and cast his eyes on the letter paper.

"Let me see……"

Volume 4: Edo Chronicles: Chapter 170: An Easy Request

"Dear everyone at Yorozuya, I have heard that you are Gintoki, the Yorozuya master who is famous in Kabukicho and even in most of Edo, and who accepts all kinds of commissions."

"My family and I have just arrived in Edo and have chosen a piece of property in Kabukicho where we would like to open a shop. We have a construction team and all the necessary preparations ready. However, there is one thing we haven't found yet: a contractor capable of demolishing the shop and other structures left behind by the previous owner within the timeframe I desire."

"I've heard that everyone at the Yorozuya has demonstrated incredible initiative and destructive power in previous commissions, so I'm considering entrusting the demolition of the abandoned house to you."

"Please don't worry. The owners of the original shops and buildings have already removed their property before you received the commission. Only the shops and buildings that need to be demolished remain. The addresses of the buildings to be demolished are attached to this letter, along with the commission fee. Please accept my commission."

"...That's what the client said."

After reading the letter, Gintoki raised his head and said without any motivation.

"What? That's really too much!"

After hearing the contents of the letter, Kagura protested in dissatisfaction.

"We're showing amazing mobility and destructive power. It's clearly a sign that we're taking the commission seriously, but why is he talking like we're causing a lot of trouble for others? Don't you agree, Shinpachi?!"

"...Let's not talk about mobility for now."

Hearing this, Shinpachi complained subconsciously.

"Speaking of destructive power, it was basically caused by you, Kagura-chan..."

"Huh?! What are you talking about, you bastard!"

Hearing Shinpachi's complaints, a crossroads suddenly appeared on Kagura's forehead.

"Do you need me to let you experience firsthand what destructive power is? You bastard!"

"Well, that's not important."

After holding down Kagura's little head with one hand to stop the furious Kagura, Gintoki raised his other hand holding the envelope and letter paper, picked his nose with his little finger, and then said in confusion.

"Gin, I'm confused. The letter says the commission money is enclosed, but I don't see any money in this thin envelope. Shinpachi, could this commission just be a prank?"

"Eh, that shouldn't be the case, right?"

Hearing this, Shinpachi manipulated the human, pushed himself with the human's index finger, and spoke uncertainly.

"I found this letter between the cracks of the window outside. No one would be bored enough to do such a prank, right?"

"You can't say for sure, Shinpachi."

Hearing this, Gintoki waved his hand as if he found it troublesome.

"Just like harassing phone calls, these days, harassing letters are everywhere, just like harassing phone calls. Shinpachi, your experience is still too shallow, but Gin is different from you. I am a mature member of society."

“Eh, is that so…?”
