Maybe a Fake Gintama

Chapter 48: There Are Always a Bad Hawthorns in Every String of Candied Haws! (Sacchan Appearance Part 1)

"Oh, good morning, Shinpachi." Kawaki held an umbrella in one hand and a string of candied haws in the other. At the same time, he greeted Shinpachi beside the road skillfully.

"Hey, isn't this Kawaki-san, hello." Only then did Shinpachi notice Kawaki not far away and hurriedly greeted him.

Kawaki ate the last of the string of candied haws in his hand and threw the wooden sticks into the trash can.

"This, for you." Kawaki took out a string of candied haws from his umbrella and handed it to Shinpachi.

Only then did Shinpachi see clearly that Kawaki's umbrella was wrapped in a thick layer of sticks, and the stick was full of candied haws.

"This is hawthorn?" Shinpachi took the string of candied haws and asked doubtfully.

"It's a candied hawthorn, a traditional Chinese snack," Kawaki replied.

"It's sour and sweet! It's delicious!" Shinpachi tried to eat one and said, "This layer of crispy sugar is malt right? The Chinese are really amazing to think of such a combination."

"The new Chinese chef tried to make some, but... it became popular in Yoshiwara's social circle... Now, that chef opened his own shop in Yoshiwara..." Kawaki sighed helplessly and said, "I really can't imagine that Yoshiwara actually opened a shop that sells candied haws."

"Isn't this pretty good?" Shinpachi said as he ate, "It means that Yoshiwara is different from before."

"All of these were secretly bought by Seita. Sure enough, children like them very much." Kawaki continued, "But after Hinowa found them. She threw them all at me and asked me to solve them. She said that it was not good for children to eat too much sweet food. As an adult, wouldn't it be good if I ate too much sweet food?"

"If only Gin-san had half of your consciousness..." Shinpachi couldn't help but say.

"In short, we can't waste it. Moreover, when the weather gets hot, the sugar-coated outer layer will melt." As Kawaki spoke, he handed out candied haws to the children playing by the roadside.

Every child who got the candied haws had the same reaction. They smelled it first, then licked it. Finally, they ate one. Each little face smiled like a flower

Looking at Kawaki who was laughing with the children, Shinpachi lamented, "Sure enough, Kawaki-san is still a mature adult~"

"Okay," Kawaki took the last few sticks of candied haws from his umbrella and handed them to Shinpachi, "I've sent them almost. Take the last few sticks back for everyone to taste."

"Thank you so much." Shinpachi took the seven sticks of candied haws and said at the same time.

"If you can't finish it, remember to put it in the fridge." Kawaki reminded, "Then, I should go back too."

"Hey? Are you going back now? Why don't you go to Yorozuya and have a cup of tea?" Shinpachi hurriedly said.

"Can I? Don't you need to work?" Kawaki raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It doesn't matter. I don't have much work to do recently," Shinpachi replied.

"If you really have nothing to do, you can come to Yoshiwara. I often hear Tsukuyo complain that she has too much work to do," Kawaki suggested, "She needs to deal with some troublesome men and the like."

"No, let's forget about this kind of work."

"How can a young man choose his job?" As Kawaki spoke, he began to give a long speech, "Work is not something you like in many cases. It is just for survival. If work becomes a happy thing, then it should be paying money to go to work..."

"Good morning." Shinpachi greeted Otose who was sweeping the floor outside the shop.

"It's Shinpachi. Good morning." Otose stopped what she was doing and looked up.

"Good morning, Otose."

Kawaki also greeted her with a smile.

"Aiya, what a rare guest. Good morning," Otose said to Kawaki.

"Otose is so early today." Shinpachi lamented.

"It's because all you guys are such goof-offs." Otose said a little helplessly, "Speaking of which, someone promised me to pay the rent for the last month today. Help me remind me of the useless naturally wavy hair."

"Alright, I'm really sorry." Just as Shinpachi was about to scratch his head, he found that he still has the candied haws in his hand, "This, please have a taste."

Shinpachi gave Otose two sticks.

"What is this?" Otose said doubtfully, "It looks like a Dango."

"This is a Chinese snack that Kawaki-san brought here. It's called [Candied Hawthorn]" Shinpachi explained.

"I see..." Just as Otose said this, an unknown creature with cat ears and a green kimono rushed out and grabbed a string of candied haws from Otose's hand, and started eating.

"What... what is that unknown creature?" Kawaki had a black face and whispered to Shinpachi.

"She is an Amanto called Catherine. In short, many things have happened and she is working in Otose's store now." Shinpachi explained.

"In this lifetime... I will never like cat ears..." Kawaki had a look of despair on his face.

"There is indeed a feeling of fantasy being shattered. I understand..."

"Good morning, everyone. Kawaki-san is here. Ah?" Shinpachi pushed open the door and shouted, but he found that only Sadaharu was sleeping on the sofa in the entire living room.

"Sadaharu, where did everyone go?" Shinpachi asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Sadaharu snorted lazily.

"They really are a bunch of idle fellows." Shinpachi sighed helplessly. At the same time, he looked at Kawaki behind him, "Kawaki-san, sit down in the living room first. I'll go wake them up."

"Okay," Kawaki responded casually and walked to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

Shinpachi put the candied haws in his hand into the refrigerator, then walked to the closet next to him and opened the door, "It's time to get up. The sun is shining on your butt."

Kagura was still snoring.

Then, Shinpachi walked to the door of Gintoki's room and said, "Gin-san, it's time to get up. Kawaki-san brought your favorite sweet food."

However, just as he opened the door and took a look, Shinpachi was stunned

Looking at the motionless Shinpachi, Kawaki walked over curiously. He also looked at the door and was instantly stunned.

However, at that time, Kawaki closed the door instantly.

"What are the two of you doing?" Kagura came over and asked, yawning and rubbing her eyes.

"Kagura-chan, there's nothing. Today is a holiday." Kawaki turned his head and smiled. At the same time, he took out a few tens of thousand yen bills and handed them to Shinpachi, "Today is a holiday for the two of you. You can go wherever you want to play."

"Kawaki-san, you... you don't want Kagura-chan to touch the dirty adult world?" Shinpachi asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I will have a good talk with Gintoki. The two of you can go out to play for the time being," Kawaki whispered.

"I... I understand." Shinpachi said as he walked toward Kagura, "Ka... Kagura, there are delicious candied haws brought by Kawaki-san here~"

"Candied haws? What is that?" Kagura's attention was attracted by Shinpachi's words.

"Oh, this." Shinpachi walked to the fridge and took out the candied haws that he had just put in, "Only after brushing your teeth can you eat it..."

However, Kagura had already picked up a string and started eating, "It's so delicious-aru..." Kagura said vaguely.

"Hey, you two, it's really a holiday today." Kawaki leaned against the door of Gintoki's room and smiled at Kagura and Shinpachi who were sitting on the sofa. However, Kawaki had his hands behind his back and firmly locked the door of the room.

"Ah, I ate a bad hawthorn..." Kagura suddenly said.

"Just spit it out. Every string of candied haws may have bad hawthorns. After all, it can't be distinguished from the outside." Kawaki explained with a smile.

"It's just like the hearts of some adults. Maybe they look harmless on the outside, but there may be a great adult world hidden in the heart." Shinpachi took over the words.

"I can understand at this level-aru. Don't underestimate me." Kagura picked up the remaining two sticks of candied haws and said as she ate.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. That, it's really a holiday. You can go anywhere you want to play." Kawaki said with a smile. At the same time, he used his eyes to signal Shinpachi to bring her.

"Yes, we can go to the place that Kagura-chan wants to go to today. We can go to the amusement park or anything else." Shinpachi understood and quickly said.

"Really-aru?!" Kagura was surprised.

"Really, hurry up and go out. Today is going to be fun~" Kawaki said and waved to Kagura.

Finally, under the double nagging of Kawaki and Shinpachi... Kagura finally jumped excitedly, washed up, changed her clothes, and excitedly dragged Sadaharu to the door.

"Hey, are you really okay by yourself? Faced with that kind of situation?" Shinpachi asked in a low voice.

"Absolutely no problem!" Kawaki promised, "Before you go home, this matter will definitely be handled cleanly! It will be like nothing happened! Go quickly!"

"Then, I'll leave it to you." Shinpachi said softly before chasing after Kagura, who had already walked to the door, "Kagura-chan, wait for me."

However, at this critical moment, Gintoki woke up in the room. To be precise, he was awakened by the fragrance of the candied haws that had just drifted in.

"This smell..." In an instant, Gintoki opened his eyes, "A new sweet smell that I have never smelled before! A sweet smell full of temptation! That is...!"

However, just as he finished speaking. Gintoki found that his body was a little heavy, and then he saw a girl with light purple hair lying on his body with her eyes closed.

"What's.... happening here!!!"

Gintoki roared, scaring Kagura who had just walked to the door and was about to open the door to go out...
