My personal opinion on Gensokyo

After hearing what Gintoki said, Shinpachi also became a little suspicious.

"Maybe it's really like what Yin said."

"Just forget about it, Shinpachi."

Throwing the letter and envelope on the table, Gintoki lazily walked back to his seat and sat down again, continuing as if he was bothered.

"My most important task right now is to sleep until tomorrow morning and see Ms. Yuno's lovely smile. The 'Ms. Yuno's energy' I replenished this morning has been used up. From now on, Gin will be in a state of lack of energy..."

"...Gin, you're not going to be in a state of lack of energy just now."

Shinpachi calmly complained upon seeing Gintoki like this.

"But I feel unmotivated every day, okay..."

Without paying attention to Shinpachi's complaints, Kagura turned her gaze to the envelope on the table. On the table, the envelope, which should have been empty after the letter was taken out, had a beige note sticking out of it.

Seeing this beige piece of paper with strange words written on it in various fonts, Kagura couldn't help but reach out and pull the piece of paper out of the envelope, looking at the piece of paper with strange eyes that was filled with various numbers and words.

"Kagura-chan, what are you looking at?"

After complaining about Gin, Shinpachi also noticed that Kagura was holding a strange beige note and looking at it, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Shinpachi, there's a strange note in the envelope."

Hearing this, Kagura raised her head and shook the note in her hand at Shinpachi curiously.

"what is this?"

"What? Let me see..."

As he spoke, Shinpachi took the note from Kagura's hand and expertly manipulated the human to push himself with his index finger.

"Hey... Kagura-chan, this is a check. A check is something you take to the bank, and the bank will pay you the amount written on it in cash... Huh?! It's a check! Gin! There's another check in the envelope!"

Shinpachi suddenly realized what he was holding in the middle of his words and subconsciously shouted in panic to Gintoki who was leaning against the chair.

"Hey! Shinpachi, what did you say?!"

Hearing Shinpachi's words, Gintoki was stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed over, snatched the beige check from Shinpachi's hand, staring at the check with his eyes wide open.

"...The first digit is five, one zero, two zeros, three zeros... Five, five hundred thousand yen?!"

"Five, five hundred thousand yen?!"

"It's a lie, it's a lie..."

Shinpachi and Kagura were both startled. Kagura hurriedly snatched the check from Gintoki's hand, and Shinpachi also hurried over. Both of them stared at the beige check with wide eyes.

On the beige check, the five large black characters "Oedo Bank" stood out. Below "Oedo Bank," the number five and the five zeros that followed also stood out.

"Shin-Shinpachi, Kagura, it seems our luck has turned..."

Staring at Shinpachi, Gintoki's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Haha... Shin, Shinpachi, Kagura, this can't be a dream... Just demolishing a few houses, and the reward is 500,000 yen..."

"No doubt about it! Gin!"

Shinpachi's voice trembled at the sight of such a large sum of money.

"It's true, we've met some very generous guests!"

"Ahh! Where is the house we're going to demolish?! We'll absolutely raze it to the ground!"

Similarly, seeing such a large amount of money, which could buy her countless vinegared kelp, Kagura also went into a frenzy.

"Come on, Gin! Shinpachi! Let's do it now!"

PS1: I don’t really want to use the onomatopeia from the past, such as Gin-san and Kagura’s erhua onomatopeia, so with the help of my Japanese consultant, I modified it into a translation with similar meaning. Do readers think this is okay?

"Let me see……"

Hearing this, Gintoki hurriedly picked up the letter on the table and his eyes swept directly to the line of words below that stated the address.

"Kabukicho... Shin-Shinpachi! Kagura! The houses that are going to be demolished are the ones across from our house!"

"Ahhhhh!"

When Kagura heard Gintoki say that the house that needed to be demolished was right across from the Yorozuya, she picked up her umbrella without a care in the world, kicked open the living room door and the Yorozuya door, and jumped directly from the Yorozuya on the second floor where the Tose Tavern was located, rushed across the road, and smashed into the empty house opposite like a cannonball.

boom! ! !

The huge noise caused by Kagura suddenly erupted, deafening and almost echoing throughout the streets of Kabukicho. A huge hole was directly smashed in the middle of the roof of the house facing the Tose Tavern and Yorozuya across the road.

"Haaah!"

Then, Gintoki, holding a wooden sword, jumped down from the second floor like Kagura and rushed across the street. Then, Gintoki suddenly jumped up, and the wooden sword named Toyako Kuryouki (six;) 7岜亻尔罢) also slammed hard on the roof that had already had a big hole smashed by Kagura.

boom! ! !

Another loud bang sounded, and dust and broken tiles were shaken into the air and scattered everywhere. Then, in a fog covered with yellowish dust, a series of loud bangs continued to sound.

Most of the pedestrians on Kabukicho who were frightened by the two men hurriedly walked away to avoid being affected, while some people stopped curiously and stood here to see what was going on.

"Gin! Kagura-chan!"

When the last one rushed out, Shinpachi saw that the other side was already covered in dust and chaos.

"Really, these two are too chaotic!"

While complaining, Shinpachi quickly ran downstairs, crossed the middle road, and stopped in front of the dusty and chaotic house opposite.

"Gin! Kagura-chan!"

Anxious Shinpachi shouted worriedly towards the house shrouded in dust.

"Are you okay?!"

"Shinpachi, come help!"

After destroying a wall of the empty house with her umbrella again, Kagura called out to Shinpachi.

"Hurry up and finish this commission. I need to use 500,000 yen to buy more vinegared kelp!"

"No! Kagura, you should give all the 500,000 to Gin and me!"

After jumping up and chopping off the beam with a wooden sword, Gintoki's face looked full of righteousness.

"Don't worry, Kagura, Shinpachi, Gin, I will double this money soon!"

"Shut up! I'm not going to give it to a luckless loser like you!"

Upon hearing this, the furious Kagura kicked the fallen wooden beam towards Gintoki and roared angrily.

"You're just going to gamble with this money anyway, and then you'll lose it all in no time, right?!"

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

He chopped off the flying crossbar with a single blow, and a large crossroads appeared on Gintoki's forehead.

"Ah Yin, I'm thinking about how to double this 500,000! If you can think of it, you can do it! Compared to you who only think about how to spend the money, Ah Yin, I'm much smarter, you guy!"

"...Just because you can think of it doesn't mean you can do it, right, Yin?"

Hearing Gintoki's completely irresponsible remarks, Shinpachi, who also had a crossroads on his forehead, subconsciously complained calmly.

"There's no point in talking any more, let's just fight it out here!"

As she shouted, Kagura grabbed the umbrella and rushed towards Gintoki.

"The winner will have control over all 500,000 yen!"

"Huh?! That's exactly what I want!"

Hearing Kagura's excited speech, Gintoki also grabbed Toyako and went forward, showing no sign of weakness.

"Who's more convinced about vinegared kelp, Kagura, or am I, Gin, by my belief in sweets? Let's have a serious competition!!!"

boom!

The parachute body collided violently with Lake Toya, making a huge sonic boom.

"Hey! Why did we end up fighting each other when we were supposed to be demolishing a house?!"

Shinpachi complained loudly, veins popping out at the corners of his eyes.

"Also! You two forgot, I also got a share of this money!!!"

As Shinpachi finished speaking, suddenly, a trembling voice sounded behind him.

"Um... what on earth are Mr. Shinpachi and Mr. Gintoki from Yorozuya doing?"

"……what?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Shinpachi turned around hurriedly, only to see an older middle-aged man staring nervously at the ruined house.

Beside the middle-aged man, there were several other people with worried expressions on their faces. These people were the owners of several shops nearby.

Seeing this, Shinpachi scratched the back of his head and hurriedly replied with a forced smile.

"Ah, please don't worry. We at Yorozuya have received a commission. The client wants us to help him demolish the abandoned houses on the land he bought. Boss Gintoki and the others are just a little too excited. Please rest assured, we are only demolishing abandoned houses."

"Demolishing abandoned houses... I know about that. The owners of these shops and houses have moved out since noon. They said they sold this place for a large sum of money and are moving to a more prosperous street."

Hearing this, the wealthy middle-aged man wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and complained to Shinpachi with some embarrassment.

"But I didn't sell my grocery store. Why did the boss and his men want to demolish my shop as well?"

"Tear down your shop? Haha, boss, are you kidding me? Your shop is still fine...eh?!"

Hearing this, Shinpachi comforted the wealthy middle-aged boss while turning his gaze towards the middle-aged boss's grocery store, which was located next to the houses that needed to be demolished.

Then, Shinpachi was stunned.

The grocery store next to him, which should have been intact, had been smashed into many cracks, and a flying wooden stake had pierced through the middle...

"Yes, yes, we don't even remember selling the house..."

The owners of several nearby shops and houses also spoke up one after another, discussing the matter with great dissatisfaction.

Looking around, many of the surrounding houses were affected to varying degrees by the damage caused by the confrontation between Gintoki and Kagura, and this small block had become a mess.

“…A-Gin! Kagura! We’re in trouble, ahhhh!”

At night, in Kabukicho, inside the Touse Tavern.

"This, this must be a lie..."

Gintoki, with a sad face, held the 5,000 yen in his hand and was completely unwilling to accept this fact.

"You must be kidding me! How could repairing just a few houses cost 495,000 yen... Haha... I must be dreaming..."

"Those guys must have inflated the repair bill!"

Kagura also indignantly supports Gintoki.

"It's just a few big holes, but they're charging so much to repair them. This world is hopeless!"

"That's because you two not only smashed several big holes in his house, but also broke a lot of things in his store!"

Shinpachi, with veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, scolded him mercilessly.

"We're lucky that they didn't bother with us!"

"So, the original 500,000 yen was obtained."

After taking a puff of her cigarette, Granny Tose looked calmly at Gintoki, who had a sad face.

"So that's all that's left, right?"

"Ah... these are all that's left."

After answering Granny Tose's words with a lackluster tone, Gintoki weakly shook the only remaining 5,000 yen in his hand, his eyes dull.

"This must be a dream..."

"Then bring it here."

After taking the five thousand yuan from Gintoki's hand, Granny Tose took another puff of her cigarette and said lightly.
