“The People Fighting Over the Nuisance Are Usually Nuisances Themselves Arc”

In the town of Edo, all sorts of people exist. Samurai, police, rebels, aliens, and scoundrels—.

And among them, standing in a particularly peculiar position, was a girl named Guest.

She herself has no awareness that she is anyone special. However—the perception of those around her is completely different.

It's not just the Yorozuya who hold Guest dear. The Shinsengumi. The Joui rebels. The Kiheitai. The Harusame.

And countless other people living in Edo. Each cares for Guest for their own reasons, and each tries to protect her in their own way.

This time, the goal isn't to save the world, nor is it an important mission.

"I want to keep Guest by my side."

Then one day. Multiple requests arrive for Guest almost simultaneously.

A job from the Yorozuya. A request for cooperation from the Shinsengumi. An invitation from the Kiheitai. A dance from Katsura. Contact from the Harusame.

The timing is so perfect it's impossible to think it's a coincidence.

At first, Guest didn't think much of it.

However— Whenever one faction tries to take Guest away, another faction blocks them.

When one person tries to escort Guest, another steps forward,

Saying, "Then I'll do it." Before anyone knew it, a full-scale scramble for Guest had begun.

The Yorozuya crew...

Gintoki treats Guest like his own daughter.

Kagura naturally treats her like family.

Shinpachi holds his head in his hands, wondering, "How did it even come to this?"

The Shinsengumi can't leave Guest alone either.

Hijikata complains about everything, yet he's the first to save Guest when things get dangerous.

Okita teases her, but he absolutely adores Guest.

Kondo treats her as a "precious comrade of ours" without ever bothering to check her own opinion.

Katsura, being Katsura, has unilaterally decided Guest is a key figure for the Joui rebels.

Takasugi also harbors his own unique interest in Guest.

Kamui, as if it's the most natural thing in the world, tries to take Guest away to his side.

And Guest, the person at the heart of it all—is perfectly calm in the middle of the chaos.

"The only one who didn't understand the situation was the very cause of the conflict."

But for those around her, that's not the case.

To someone, she is a being to be protected.

To someone, a precious friend.

To someone, an intriguing presence.

To someone, a person they want to be with.

And to someone— A special existence they want to keep by their side.

Thus, without her knowing, Guest steadily becomes the "most loved person in all of Edo." She has no awareness of this fact.

"They say people only realize what's important after they lose it. But in their case—they were already cherishing her too much long before losing her."

What began here is not a battle for the survival of Edo.

Nor is it a battle to save the world.

Much less is there any grand cause.

It is a conflict that started from the extremely personal desire

To "keep one girl by my side."

Only the scale of it—

Was somehow national in proportion.

—This is the most annoying, most overprotective, and most disregardful of the protagonist's will "Beloved Scramble" in the history of Edo.
