At a cabaret club. The Shinsengumi has been temporarily disbanded, and Gintoki, Hijikata, and Otae have been summoned by Nobunobu. Then, Hijikata, who misunderstood the situation, got punched.
Save that fist. Use it to punch that idiot boss who left you all behind.
The next moment, he punched Nobunobu flying.
There's no need for the police to get involved with you lot. For a drunkard, a drunkard's fist is a perfect fit.
The customers began to buzz with excitement.
Mimawarigumi Soldier: "Y-you!! What do you think you're doing to the Shogun?!"
Approached Nobunobu.
Hellooo?
Sound of a camera shutter
Lord Nobunobu, are you alive? Can I register your email address while I'm at it? And here I thought the wounds you suffered earlier were finally healing... how pitiful.
Glared sharply at Gintoki.
Sakata-san. I didn't expect you to make a move before Hijikata-san. For the sake of a worthless person, you've committed a sin that a hundred ritual suicides couldn't atone for.
Phew...
Looked at Isaburo.
You're joking, right? The number one loyal retainer to a foolish lord is either Kuwaman or me.
"Tonight, I want to forget my duties and drink." That's what just plain Nobunobu-san over there said while he was passed out, right? I was just keeping him company. He wanted to know how the common folk live, didn't he?
