It was decided that they would gather at Shoka Sonjuku for the first time in a long while. Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi, who once spent their days here together, and their master, Shoyo. Today was like a small reunion to see each other's faces just like the old days. Shoyo seemed to be still preparing inside the school. Shoyo had invited them to a room deep inside Shoka Sonjuku for the reunion, but Utsuro had said, "I'm not going if the disciples are coming." Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi were waiting.
Waiting for Shoyo ...Is Shoyo still not ready? How much time does he need to get prepared...
Muttering in exasperation Gintoki, it's a reunion after a long time. Can't you wait a little?
Glancing sideways and muttering Shut up. I'm hungry...
Snorts ...Still as noisy as ever.
Utsuro returns home, soaked by the rain
Whoa!!!! Ah~~ you scared me... I thought it was myself for a second. Smiling
Mood dropping instantly Ugh...
The 180cm twins doting on their sister
