Chapter 132: The Core of Comedy Is Tragedy!
"I know, you are called [24 Hours Police Thugs]," Otsuu-chan crossed her arms and said seriously, "After I become the director, I have decided to completely use the artistic tactics to change your influence! First of all, I have to eliminate your dangerous negative image!"
"For this, I think we should start from the rules!" As she spoke, Otsuu-chan took out a scroll and opened it, "[Rule]: You must not violate the spirit of Bushido. Violator must commit seppuku! Although it is cool, this is still horrible.".
"That's why!" Otsuu-chan raised her voice and took out a new scroll, "Let's implement this today! [Add some cute words (Otsuu's language) at the end of the sentence. Violator must commit seppuku!]!"
(To explain Otsuu's language a little, Otsuu's language is to add a word at the end of each sentence.)
"It's not cute at all, okay! And the most terrifying word [seppuku] is still on it!" Toshiro complained.
"This is to show the samurai style and can't be deleted," Otsuu-chan explained.
"No, this is not the most basic change," Kawaki shook his head and said earnestly, "The most basic thing should be the change in appearance. This way, the citizens can feel Shinsengumi's change most intuitively."
"That makes sense..." Otsuu-chan nodded and said.
"I understand!" Sogo clapped his hands together, then pulled out his sword and slashed down at Toshiro.
"What are you doing? Bastard!" Toshiro, who had dodged the attack, roared.
"I'm just changing my image," Sogo explained, "It might be better to change the uniform into a sawtooth sleeveless. [I want to invite you to hell, Hijikata]."
"There's no need to change that image!" Toshiro shouted, "And if you speak like that, it will only make people feel even more hateful!"
"Then why don't we cut off the V-shaped bangs?" Kawaki suggested, "If that's the case, it feels like the image of the entire Shinsengumi will be raised by a huge step."
"That makes sense," As he spoke, Sogo swung his sword again, but Toshiro dodged it again.
"Indeed, I have considered this matter, but I really can't find a way to change the entire image at once," Otsuu-chan waved to the side, "Come over here. Shinsengumi's mascot: Makoto-chan."
Then, they saw a horse... No, it should be a Centaurus, the upper body was a human with a bow and arrow, and the lower body was a horse. On the back of the horse was a corpse that an arrow had hit.
"It's really not cute at all!" Looking at the strange creature that appeared in front of everyone, Toshiro was in a bad mood, "What does this have to do with Shinsengumi? Why is there a corpse lying behind! Which one, which one is Makoto-chan!"
"Of course, it's that horse," Otsuu-chan explained.
"Indeed, using a mascot to improve your image is also a good way." Kawaki cupped his hands and nodded in understanding.
"Good method my ass! It's not cute at all!" Toshiro shouted, "And what's going on? That look! I've never seen such a sad mascot! How is this cute? It simply reveals a faint sense of tragedy!"
"No! You're wrong!" Kawaki corrected,
"The core of a comedy is usually a tragedy!"
"What you said has nothing to do with the mascot at all!"
"Ah, it was killed..." Gintoki with a wig covered his face and muttered.
"What did he mean when he said [was killed]? Could it be the body on his back?"
Kondo squatted behind Makoto-chan and interrupted Toshiro's ridicule and comforted him, "Well, Toshiro, in today's era, it's impossible to rely on straightforward cuteness! If you look carefully, you might think Makoto-chan is disgusting, but..."
Before he finished, Makoto-chan kicked him in the chin.
"What are you doing! Bastard!" Kondo shouted angrily and rushed toward Makoto-chan...
Looking at the fighting mascot and gorilla, Kawaki was also a little speechless.
"Speaking of Mascot, I know a furry animal," Kawaki said after thinking for a while.
"Huh? Really?" Toshiro asked in surprise, "Is it really a normal animal?"
"Ah, it's just a normal dog," Kawaki replied.
"That's enough! If there is that, there is no need for this at all!"
"Alright, then wait for me for a while." After saying that, Kawaki turned around and left.
...
Ten minutes later.
"I'm back." Kawaki greeted the Shinsengumi member, who was waiting at the same place.
Toshiro asked, "Where's the dog?"
"Ah, it's here." After Kawaki finished speaking, everyone realized that there was a madao lying on the ground with a collar behind Kawaki, "I'm really sorry. That friend doesn't seem to be at home, but I met this guy on the road. He said that he had experience working in the civil service, so..."
"That's just a good-for-nothing uncle! How can you improve your image by relying on that!" Toshiro cursed.
"No, maybe he used to be, but ever since he put on the collar, he has already become Shinsengumi's mascot!" Kawaki retorted, "So, please give him a chance! Every meal only needs a plate of dog food, it is absolutely easy to feed!"
"Ah... Woo..." Hasegawa ran to the telephone booth at the side and called his wife, who had run away from home, "I have finally become a civil servant again! The work matter has been solved! When will you come back..."
"I haven't decided yet, bastard!" Toshiro shouted and rushed over to kick Hasegawa over, "Are you in such a hurry to report the good news to your family? You can't be a mascot like this! Even children will be scared away!"
"I think it is quite compatible with Makoto-chan on the side." Otsuu-chan pouted and said, "If we form a group, we can make our debut."
"I can't tell at all!" Toshiro complained crazily.
"I think it's quite good," Sogo placed a plate of dog food in front of Hasegawa, "Hurry up and eat it. From today onwards, you are Shinsengumi's madao13! Your mission is to eat all of the mayonnaise in the bureau!"
"Don't make a decision without my permission, bastard!" Toshiro cursed.
"In any case, which one do you choose from between these two?" Kawaki asked.
"If it's possible, I..." Toshiro lit a cigarette and said.
Before he could say the two words "don't want to", Kawaki took the lead and said, "Did you hear that? Both of you have been admitted! As expected of Shinsengumi's vice-captain!"
"Can you hear me out? Hey!" Toshiro said angrily.
"Alright, you two will be colleagues from now on. You have to get along well." Kawaki said to Makoto-chan and madao, "Don't hurt your relationship over mayonnaise,"
"Hey, hey, Kagura-chan, that person is here to take your job..." Gintoki turned around and whispered to Kagura who was sleeping soundly on the horse.
"Huh?" Kagura instantly stood up and kicked madao over. She then cursed, "The person who stole my job can not be forgiven-aru!"
"Aru?" Only then did Toshiro realize that Makoto-chan was the Yorozuya trio in disguised, "So it's you guys!"
So...
"At 14:17, you will be arrested for the crime of obstructing official duties." Kondo stood in front of the Yorozuya trio and said in a low voice. Then, he ordered people to put handcuffs on the three people and put them on the bus that was rented for publicity.
"Hey? Really?" The Yorozuya trio sat on the bus and looked at the handcuffs on their hands, still unable to react.
"There's no such thing, right? We didn't do anything when you said we were obstructing the execution of official duties."
At this time, Gintoki was only wearing a pair of shorts.
"Noisy! Didn't you destroy our parade?" Toshiro stood outside the bus and scolded.
"Listen to me. Otsuu-chan asked us to do this." Gintoki went to the window and explained.
"Otherwise, we would not take the initiative to help you-aru!" Kagura continued.
"Your help is only in our way!" Toshiro retorted.
"Because today Otsuu-chan is going to be the Chief for a day she secretly asked us to help!" Shinpachi explained.
"She is a good child. She even paid for us today." Gintoki sighed with emotion.
"Her heart has been trampled on by you!" Kagura shouted.
The next moment, Kondo opened the bus door and pulled Kagura down. He unlocked the handcuffs and placed them in front of Kawaki, "I know. Parents must educate their children well when they go back. First offense..."
"You're about the same!" Toshiro scolded and kicked Kondo over, "You both saw what happened just now!"
"I don't know what you are talking about..." Kondo stood up and retorted.
"The discount coupon in your hand has revealed everything!" Toshiro scolded.
"What coupons? These are just some publicity papers," Kondo retorted without hesitation and stuffed the discount coupon that Kawaki had secretly given him into his pocket.
"Who would believe it"
"Kawaki-san! Save me too! Kawaki-san!" Shinpachi hurriedly shouted.
Hearing this, Kawaki carefully thought for a while, then walked in front of Toshiro and secretly stuffed a few coupons into his hand.
"Do you think I am the same as Kondo-san?" Toshiro snorted, but the next moment, when Toshiro saw what was in his hand...
"Alright, you can get out too," Toshiro opened the bus door, put Shinpachi down, and sent him to Kawaki, "Sir, you have to educate the child well. Don't let the child commit any mistakes at this age."
"What you have done is almost the same!" Gintoki scolded, "Aren't you all accept bribing in broad daylight?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. This is just the publicity paper for today's work." Toshiro said disdainfully, "I'm still very tolerant for children."
"Stop deceiving people! I can see the [Free 3-Day Mayonnaise Soup Coupon] on it!" Gintoki roared and then looked at Kawaki, "Hey, save me too! Aren't we friends?"
Kawaki pretended not to hear him.
"Hey! Don't pretend that you can't hear me!" Gintoki scolded.
"Speaking of which, there's only one mascot left now. There's no other choice." Kondo said as he looked at Sogo, who was feeding madao13.
"There's nothing we can do about it," Kawaki replied. However, he immediately felt that something was off, "Speaking of which, where did Otsuu-chan go?"
