Chapter 34: Mecha and Large Robots Are Always a Man’s Romance!
"Huh? Festival? "
Kawaki did not put down the game controller in his hand and continued without looking back, "Wouldn't it be better to let Tsukuyo accompany the kid to the temple fair~."
"Appropriately going out and exercising is good for physical and mental health~" Hinowa stretched out a finger and said, "Also, festivals are different from temple fairs."
Kawaki waved his hand, and at the same time he blurted out a rejection, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested at all... Ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Tsukuyo had already knocked Kawaki down. She pulled Kawaki's back clothes and led the way without turning back. Seita followed closely behind.
"This is a festival to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the country. I heard that the general will also make a rare appearance~," Seita skipped along the way.
"Hmph, only children would like this kind of thing," Kawaki said disdainfully.
"Did Brother Kawaki not like festivals when he was a child?" Seita asked curiously.
"Of course!" Kawaki answered without thinking. However, he also muttered in a low voice, "But, there seems to be a friend who likes festivals very much."
"Friend? Gin-san?" Seita asked.
"No, it's just a friend who likes festivals and Yakult. It seems that his name is Takaji." Kawaki replied.
"Hey, can't you remember your friend's name clearly" Seita complained, "Anything like that is fine," Kawaki said casually, but the next moment he was attracted by something under the bridge, "That...that! Robot!"
Kawaki's eyes lit up, and he jumped off the bridge in an instant. However, Kawaki did not notice that there was a familiar silver-haired naturally wavy hair next to a bunch of robots
"Hey, Brother Kawaki!" Seita shouted from behind, and at the same time, he said helplessly, "Who is a child!"
Looking at Gintoki and Shinpachi who were knocking on the ground, Kawaki's eyes twitched.
"What are you guys doing" Kawaki shouted and kicked the two of them several meters away at the same time. Then, he quickly ran to the side of the bunch of robots and looked left and right. His eyes were full of stars.
"Hey, what's the matter with this kid?" The old man who was repairing the robots couldn't help but ask.
"He's just an idiot who likes Bumblebee so much." Gintoki got up and answered casually.
"Hey, hey, did you make all these robots by yourself? It's so cool!" Only then did Kawaki notice the old man standing beside him.
"Eh, really?" Old man Gengai touched his bald head and laughed foolishly, "I didn't expect someone to be so interested in robots in this era."
"Mechas and large-sized robots will always be the men's romance!" Behind Kawaki, it was as if the sun was rising from the east and waves were raging!
"These are just some iron pieces." Seita pouted.
At this time, Seita and Tsukuyo also came down.
"What are you talking about Little brat!" Kawaki was immediately become unhappy, "When you go back, watch the Transformers series and the Gundam series a hundred times! This is your extra homework for summer vacation!"
"Eh?!"
"Then, we'll be leaving first," Gintoki said and was about to take Shinpachi to run away.
However, the old man Gengai was quick-witted, and two wrenches were thrown down, "Don't try to run! Hurry up and work. Really, there's no time left."
"But Mr. Hiraga, the festival is about to start. Although I really want to help you, it's too late..." Shinpachi rubbed his head and stood up. At the same time, he quietly retorted.
"It will only be used at night. If it is done before the sun goes down, there should be no problem." Old man Genkai, no, it should be Hiraga Genkai responded like this and turned his head again to start working.
"Listen, Seita." Kawaki said with his eyes closed, "The sound of a human hand repairing a robot.
The sound of the beating, the twisting of the screw, how touching! Just like that, robots filled with life were born one by one... This was... this was a miracle!
However, Seita, who was beside Kawaki, had already run to Kagura's side and played house with Kagura.
"Don't think that just because you don't say anything!" Kagura stood facing the robot Saburo in front of her and took out a white handkerchief with a lipstick mark on it, "Darling! Do you think we don't know anything?! This shirt has a lipstick mark on it! I won't be deceived by you again!"
"Affirmative." Robot Saburo replied.
"You only know [Affirmative]. That's why you are looked down upon by your subordinates! Occasionally say [NO] and see! You ten thousand years chief!"
"Affirmative."
"Ah! Domestic violence! Seita, your father should just die! Just treat it as if there is no such father!" Kagura said.
Seeing the situation, Old man Gengai finally could not sit still and hurriedly ran over to stop them, "Stop... Stop..."
"Who is the other party?! Sachiko?! Is she that ugly subordinate?" Kagura was still immersed in the family affair.
"Stop, why do you want to have that kind of entangled family affair?!" Old man Gengai said while dragging his Saburo.
"For you, it might be just a family affair. But for me, it is the whole world!" Kagura replied with a sobbing tone.
"Why, why do I have to participate in such a family affair..." Murmur Seita.
"In other words, the three of you broke the robots, causing you to be unable to participate in the festival." Kawaki looked at the three people in front of him with disdain. To be more precise, he was looking at Gintoki, who was in the lead.
"You guys! Do you know what stupid things you did" Kawaki said aggressively, "You ruined all of Edo men's romances! Did you know that?!"
"Well, little brother, they have realized the mistake. They are already helping me fix it. It should be able to catch up with the festival." Old man Gengai advised from the side.
"Since you said so, then let's forget about it this time!" Kawaki turned his head and snorted in disdain. However, Kawaki did not notice Gintoki's disdainful gaze behind him.
After that, Kawaki pulled Seita and joined the repair team. PS: Kawaki was willing, and Seita was forced to do so.
Tsukuyo watched from the side and did not participate from beginning to end.
Dusk
"Looks like we finally made it. Although there are still some problems in the details," Shinpachi said, wiping the sweat off his face, "It's also thanks to Kawaki-san and Seita's help."
"If not for the three of you causing trouble, we wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort." Old man Gengai looked at the row of robots in front of him and said disdainfully.
"You evil geezer, what are you talking about? We came because that old woman couldn't take it anymore." Gintoki grabbed his hair and said. But in the next moment, Old man Gengai threw a bag of money at Gintoki.
"I still have to carry out the final maintenance. Don't get in my way. Whether it's a festival or not, go wherever you like." Old man Gengai said as he walked back to the rows of robots and began to examine them.
Seeing this, Kagura immediately snatched the money bag from Gintoki's hand and turned to leave. Gintoki turned around and chased after her. Meanwhile, Shinpachi stayed where he was and thanked Old man Gengai before turning to chase after Gintoki. Kawaki, Tsukuyo, and Seita also turned around and left.
"What a bunch of noisy fellows. Sabu..." Old man Gengai smiled helplessly. At the same time, he turned around to call out to Robot Saburo. However, he saw Saburo follow in the direction that everyone had left, "Saburo, you can't leave, Saburo!" Old man Gengai hurriedly ran over to stop him.
However, Kawaki did not notice that there was a man wearing a purple kimono embroidered with butterflies standing on the bridge
At the entrance of Shinsengumi's place, all of Shinsengumi's members had gathered.
Kondo and Toshiro stood in front of the crowd and gave their final instructions.
"Listen up. Tonight, Shinsengumi will send out all of his men to protect the general. Not even a fly can let it get close to the general! Do you hear me clearly?" Toshiro shouted at the Shinsengumi members who had lined up neatly in front of him.
"Clear!" n
Then, a team of people got into the car and left in an orderly manner.
"Speaking of which, will that Takasugi really come? Vice-Captain?" Yamazaki asked curiously.
"I don't know. I just received such information. He killed dozens of high-ranking Bakufu officials during the dinner meeting. He was the most aggressive and dangerous man among the terrorist. It is hard to believe that with such a good opportunity he will not appear that...." As Toshiro spoke, he puffed out a mouthful of smoke and slowly spat out the name, "Takasugi Shinsuke!"
"It's really wonderful. Saburo seems to be very happy too." Old man Gengai looked at Kawaki, Kagura, Shinpachi, and Seita who were walking with Saburo. Kagura and Seita sat on the shoulders of Saburo and commanded. Kawaki and Shinpachi walked side by side.
"It would be much happier than an old man with a dead face all day," Gintoki said as he took a sip of sake.
At this time, Gintoki and old man Gengai was sitting in front of a small stall eating and drinking.
"You said the same thing as my son did..."
"Son?" Gintoki asked, "You have a son?"
"Although he is already dead..." As he spoke, old man Gengai put down his sake cup, "He acted on my own and ran to the battlefield. In the end, he lost his life. His passion for robots is no less than mine. That stinking brat used to tinker with those robots with me. Now that I think about it, that period of time was probably the happiest time of my life."
"In the past, it was only because I liked to tinker with robots that I didn't have to think about other unnecessary things. However, ever since I was called the greatest inventor in Edo, robots just become a means to an end. That stinking brat left home because he opposed that. But he never returned." As he spoke, old man Gengai laughed at himself.
