Chapter 44: The Question of Whether an Egg Can Hatch a Chick Can Only Be Known by Asking the Hen That Lays the Egg!
Looking at Yorozuya's group of three and Kawaki, who had already changed into unrecognizable clothes. Toshiro couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"Who are these guys? Is the circus in town?"
"No they're here for an exorcising," Kondo explained.
"Are you kidding me? These guys look suspicious." Toshiro sized up the four people again and said.
"Ah! behind you..." Kagura exclaimed and pointed behind Toshiro, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my back?" Toshiro asked.
However, Kagura did not answer. Instead, she whispered to Gintoki beside her. However, Toshiro still heard the words [Hopeless] and [He is done for].
"Can I kill them? Can I" As he spoke, Toshiro was about to draw his sword.
However, Kondo hurriedly stopped him and looked at Kawaki and the others who were disguised, "Master, can you help us? I'm too scared to go to the bathroom by myself."
"Leave it to us, gorilla." Kagura took a step forward and said.
"Ah, did you just call me gorilla?" Kondo asked, "Did you just call me gorilla, right?"
…
In the room, Kawaki and the other two sat opposite the Shinsengumi.
"Just now, I went around the house and felt a very powerful spiritual presence, gorilla," Gintoki said.
"Hey! This time, you really said gorilla!" Kondo replied.
"Sigh, anyway, let's try to get rid of the spirit first. But the corresponding price is also not cheap, gorilla!" Kagura said at this time.
"Hey, hey, you guys are getting addicted to talking [gorilla]." Toshiro reminded.
"Speaking of which, what kind of spirit is it? A gorilla." Sogo asked.
"It's contagious!! The habit of a gorilla at the end of the sentence is contagious!" Kondo exclaimed.
"Um... A factory foreman." Just as Kagura finished speaking, she was punched by Gintoki.
"Well, it's the spirit of a factory foreman who died after getting stuck in a conveyer belt," Gintoki replied.
"But everyone said they saw a woman's spirit," Kondo said,
"Oh right!," Shinpachi said and clear his throat, "it's the spirit of a woman who looked like the factory foreman who killed herself by getting stuck in a conveyer belt."
"That explanation's too long! And what does a factory foreman have to do with it?!" Toshiro shouted. At the same time, he looked at Kawaki, who had been silent the entire time, "Hey, why are you so silent? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Kawaki really did not expect to be hit by a Q at this time. Although he had not thought of a good line, he still braced himself and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a factory foreman or a woman's spirit. Can't a woman be a factory foreman?"
After listening to this, everyone's faces showed [So that's how it is!] shocked expressions.
However, Kawaki was actually a little happy at this time, so he did not stop. He continued to make up... and said, "Also, it's not the factory foreman's spirit that is the problem, but you! V-shaped bangs!"
"What did you say" Toshiro was anxious when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense. Believe it or not, I'll cut you down!"
"Hmph, do you always hear someone whispering in your ear in your sleep? Keep saying things like [kill you]?"
"Of course not..." Toshiro wanted to refute, but he suddenly remembered that there was such a situation and was stunned.
"No way! Toshiro, you..." Kondo also saw that the situation was not quite right.
"So, the problem is not the factory foreman's spirit, but you!" After saying that, Kawaki closed his eyes. Then, he opened his eyes and shook his head with a sigh, "Sumimasen, I can't do anything..."
"Is... is it really that serious?" Kondo said.
"It's a hundred times more troublesome than the factory foreman in red!" Kawaki replied without hesitation.
At the same time, he stood up and walked to the door, "I just found out about this situation, so..."
Before he could say goodbye, Toshiro spoke up, "Hmph, even if there really is, it would only be a spirit that died under my blade. I don't care about that level at all."
"Toshi, I just told you not to look down on spirits!" Kondo hurriedly stood up and stopped Kawaki, "Master! Please save Toshi!"
"It's not that there is no way, but... Sigh," Kawaki sighed, "Let's go. This is not something we can solve..."
The trio stood up and walked to the door. They all understood Kawaki's plan.
At this critical moment, Toshiro finally lowered his head and said, "Please... please wait a moment..."
…
"Then, please tell us about Hijikata-kun's usual hobbies or habits. I want to analyze them," Kawaki said in a deep voice.
At this time, everyone sat down again.
"Well, I have to eat several bottles of mayonnaise every day, pour mayonnaise on everything I eat, and smoke every day..." Toshiro was interrupted by Kawaki before he could finish.
"That's enough! I already know!"
"Hey! Isn't it too hasty?" Toshiro complained.
"No, not hasty at all!" Kawaki raised his head, and at the same time, Conan's BGM sounded, "There is only one truth! That is mayonnaise!"
"Hey! It has nothing to do with Spirit at all! I will really cut you!" Toshiro shouted.
"Nothing to do? You are too young!" Kawaki snorted with disdain and asked Toshiro a question at the same time, "Then, may I ask. What is the main material of mayonnaise?"
"Egg," Toshiro answered without thinking.
"That's right! The truth is eggs!" Kawaki said blindly, "We all know that eggs are divided into those that can hatch chicks and those that cannot hatch! Then, how can you tell which eggs you eat for the mayonnaise? Is it possible to hatch chicks or not to hatch chicks! Even if the merchants say that they use eggs that cannot be used to hatch chicks, but they carelessly put in eggs that can hatch chicks?! You eat it every day. Have you ever thought about this problem when you drop a lot of mayonnaise?! In other words, how many lives of an unborn chick did you take away! Do you understand?!"
The cigarette in Toshiro's mouth fell down…
At this time, the Yorozuya group were in completely shocked.
Shinpachi: It's true! I was really fooled! It was flawless! There was no reason to defend it at all! It was no wonder that it was Kawaki-san!
Gintoki: The topic of the woman in red has been completely ignored! He has completely fallen into Kawaki's rhythm! What a Terrifying Man!"
Kagura: Have I also eaten an egg that can hatch a chick-aru…
"So, according to the master, is that the resentment of those chicks that have not been able to come to this world?" Kondo analyzed.
"That's right," Kawaki replied.
"Are... are you joking with me?" Toshiro roared, "This is not my fault! Shouldn't they be looking for the wrong person? I am just a consumer!"
"Consumer? Hehe," Kawaki sneered again, "If there were no consumers, there would be no mayonnaise at all! And! Do you think they didn't go to the one who picked them wrongly?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded again.
"You mean... you mean, that woman in red..." Kondo murmured.
"That's right! That woman in red is the factory foreman of the mayonnaise factory!" After Kawaki finished speaking, he secretly gave Yorozuya's trio an' OK 'sign, and Yorozuya's trio was shocked again.
Gintoki: Damn it!
Shinpachi: Too... too strong! Flawless! Completely perfect! The whole story is completely linked together! Not only the spirit of the little chick but even the woman in red is also joined in!
Kagura: Sumimasen! Egg!
"That," Sogo raised his hand at this time, "Didn't you just say that it was suicide? That red-clothed factory foreman."
"That's why you're still too young," Kawaki shook his head and said, "For them, disguising a person as a suicide is as simple as a high school student calculating addition and subtraction within ten!"
"Well, what will happen to Toshi? Did you just say that there is a way?! What should we do?!" Kondo asked eagerly.
"Hey... stop joking!" Toshiro said intermittently, "I...how could I possibly agree with that kind of thing."
"Then, please give me a bottle of mayonnaise," Kawaki said as he extended a hand.
"Hmph, what can that kind of thing tell?" Although Toshiro said so, he still handed a bottle of mayonnaise to Kawaki.
Kawaki looked at the mayonnaise in his hand. He looked left and right then continued to count.
"There seem to be three in this bottle," Kawaki said casually, "The spirits of three chicks."
In an instant, Toshiro broke out in a cold sweat.
"No, did you read it wrong?" Gintoki grabbed the bottle of mayonnaise, "No matter how you look at it, there are at least thirty of them. Look here, one, two, three, four..."
The sweat on Toshiro's face was increasing, and his face was getting worse and worse…
"Hey... What... what should we do" Toshiro asked intermittently.
"Leave this to the three of us. There is no need for Master to do this kind of thing like removing the spirit! Just leave it to the three of us!" Gintoki took the lead and said, "Although it will reduce half of our power! But..."
Before Gintoki could finish speaking, Toshiro had already taken out his wallet, placed all the bills on the ground, and pushed them toward Gintoki.
Gintoki calmly took them into his arms, and at the same time, gave Shinpachi and Kagura a look.
The two of them understood and stood up at the same time.
"Any... Anyway, your name is Yamazaki, right?" Gintoki walked to Yamazaki, who was sitting at the door and said, "We must borrow your body. To draw in the spirit, and then get rid of it, okay?."
Looking at the three people with bad expressions, Yamazaki couldn't help but panic for a moment, "Wait... Wait a minute, may I ask... what is the so-called method of getting rid of it?"
"Hit you hard," Gintoki replied.
"What! Anyone can do it! Why am I the one who needs to do it?!" Yamazaki retorted.
"No, not everyone can do it. Only the virgin [Yamazaki] can do it!" Kawaki sitting in the room said.
