Title: Lesson 83
1: Go!
2: Hit him there!!
3: Ah, crap! Cra…
4: Aaaaaaaah!!
5: Damn, I totally lost!!
6: So strong!! Isn’t Yo-chan’s Daybreak X tough? So unlike the real thing!
Yo-chan: Mufufu. He’s on a different diet than your weaklings.
Yo-chan: Come on, who’s next? Daybreak X will take on anyone at anytime.
Kagura: Me! Me! I’ll go next.
Yo-chan: Oh, why not Kagura. I’ll break that snooty nose of yours.

Page 2
Kagura: My Sadaharu No. 28 is also on a different diet than you guys.
Kagura: Go, Sadaharu No. 28!!
Yo-chan: Not only the diet, but he’s a different species. What is that?
Kagura: Dung beetle.
Yo-chan: Oyyyye!! You mean he’s the type to eat dung as his diet!
Kagura: Quite amazing isn’t it? Isn’t that self sustaining? Amazing right?
Yo-chan: You’re even more amazing to grab at a thing like that! Anyways, where did you get that! Is there such a thing on our island nation!?
Yo-chan: Do you even know the rules!? This goal of the game is to make the rhinoceros beetles wrestle!
Kagura: Oh ho, that type of close-minded thinking parallels that of the Sumo society.
Yo-chan: Yo, in what world does a wrestler step into the ring covered in feces!! Give it a rest! Go away already!
Okita: Hey hey.
Okita: Everybody try to get along.
Okita: Anyways, mind if I join?
Okita: No one in the team will face me anymore.
Okita: Does someone want to wrestle this guy?
Okita: My Sadomaru No. 21.

Page 3
Lesson 83: The boy learns the preciousness of life through his rhinoceros beetle.

Page 4
Grave: Sadaharu No.28
1: Let’s go home, Kagura-chan.
2: Let her be. It can’t be helped.
3: She loved her pal, even though it was a dung beetle.
4: And that guy took all our rhinoceros beetles.
5: I can’t believe Daybreak X lost too…
6: He must be the rumored guy who’s hunting rhinoceros beetles in the port area.
7: How childish.
8: What’s he planning?
Kagura: U..uu
Kagura: Sadaharu…

Page 5
Kagura: Uwoaaaaaah!!
Kagura: Sadaharu No. 21… Ah, no, it’s No. 28!!
Kagura: It’s beetle-hunting time!!
Kagura: Beetle hunting!!

Page 6
Kagura: Beetle hunting!!
Gintoki: Shut uuuup!!
Gintoki: What have you been ranting about.
Kagura: I plan to go beetle hunting right now.
Kaugra: How about it?
Shinpachi: What do you mean how about it, just go.
Kagura: What do you mean just go!
Shinpachi: Pft bleargh
Kagura: Listen! The leash on my temper has been broken.
Kagura: My adorable Sadaharu No. 28 was murdered by that damned bastard.
Kagura: Daybreak X and everybody else was taken too.
Kagura: Are you listening?
G/S: Ah~ yes we are.
Kagura: So I want to go avenge everyone….
Kagura: Are you listening?
Gintoki: Yes, we are.
Kagura: So I plan to catch a really strong rhinoceros beetle to defeat the bastard’s Masomaru? Um? Sazomaru? Which was it.
Kagura: Hey, which was it?
Gintoki: Yes, we are listening.
Kagura: The bastard’s Kiteirumaru will be defeated.

Page 7
Kagura: But I don’t know how to catch a rhinoceros beetle.
Kagura: So teach me.
Gintoki: It seems the rhinoceros beetle boom is taking a hold again.
Shinpachi: Apparent it is all the rage to make the beetles wrestle each other.
Kagura: Hey, teach me.
Gintoki: Yes, we’re listening.
Kagura: Not listen, I mean teach me.
Gintoki: Right, I think Daybreak should transfer to pro wrestling instead…
Kagura: You only heard the first part!!
Kagura: Forget it. Just come with me. I really want a rhinoceros beetle!
Gintoki: Don’t be stupid. Why should a guy my age go bug hunting.
Gintoki: I’m not interested in such a worthless thing.
Shinpachi: If you want to do research, go by yourself. Us adults are too busy for beetles…
Woman: What!!
Woman: A rhinoceros beetle is that expensive!?
Woman: You can buy a car with a price like that!
Guy: Yeah, but they are more important to me than cars.
Woman: With the appearance of such expensive beetles,
Woman: adults are also taking part in the soon to be big rhinoceros beetle boom.

Page 8
Gintoki: It’s rhinoceros beetle hunting time!!
Kagura: Beetle hunting time!!
Gintoki: We’ll hunt until we drop!!
Shinpachi: How did it become this?
Gintoki: We’ll hunt and sell like there’s no tomorrow!
Gintoki: Ok, this will be our territory.
Gintoki: Don’t think you can go home before we catch the giant beetle.
Gintoki: It’s business. We’re here for business.
Gintoki: Don’t think it’s summer camp. The forest is a predator. If you don’t pay attention, it’ll swallow you up.

Page 9
Kagura: No problem. I won’t mess up, and we bought a lot of supplies.
Shinpachi: They are more snacks than supplies. It’s like a picnic.
Gintoki: Idiot, don’t take it lightly.
Gintoki: Snacks must be under 300 yen.
Shinpachi: You too!
Kagura: Too bad. Pickled seaweed doesn’t fall under snacks.
Gintoki: It does. Everything that goes in the mouth does. Even the juice.
Kagura: Whatever. I saw Gin-chan secretly pour Pokari in the water bottle.
Gintoki: That wasn’t Pokari. That was dirty water.
Shinpachi: Why don’t you both get swallowed up by the forest.
Shinpachi: It’s rarer than I thought.
Kagura: I thought we would find it right away… What should we do?
Gintoki: Spread honey all over your body, and they’ll come to you right away.
Kagura: Only perverts will come to that.
Shinpachi: It’s a boom after all; maybe everything in this area has been caught already.
Shinpachi: Hm?

Page 10
Shinpachi: Gin-san, let’s go home. This forest scares me.
Kagura: He spread honey all over himself.
Gintoki: Don’t worry, it’s a fairy. It’s a sap fairy. It protects the forest that way.
Shinpachi: But that guy looks kind of familiar…
Kagura: It’s the gorilla. It was the gorilla.
Gintoki: Then he’s the gorilla fairy. He protects the gorillas that way.
Shinpachi: How can he protect the gorilla…

Page 11
Shinpachi: Gin-san, let’s go home. This really is a scary forest.
Kagura: He was spreading mayonnaise all over the trees.
Gintoki: Don’t worry. He was the mayonnaise monster. He marks his territory that way.
Shinpachi: But he’s clearly someone we know.
Kagura: It’s the nicotine addict. It was the addict.
Gintoki: Then he was the Nicochinco monster. In that way, he has two penises.
Shinpachi: No one has two penises,
Shinpachi: N-Woaaaaaah!! W-what the hell is that!!
Shinpachi: This is a dream right? No way! That’s ginormous!
Gintoki: What are you waiting around for, drop it!!
Kagura: Oraah!! Die!!
Kagura: Alright!!
Kagura: Now I can avenge Sadaharu No. 28…

Page 12
Okita: What are you doing.
Kagura: What are you doing here!!
Okita: Can’t you tell by looking?
Gintoki: No. The only thing we can tell is that you’re stupid.
Okita: Hey, sorry, pull me up; I can’t get up by myself.
Okita: Sigh, you ruined my plan to blend in and interact with them.
Hijikata: Hey, what’s all the noise?
Hijikata: Oh.
Kondou: Ah, it’s you guys!! What are you doing here!?

Page 13
Shinpachi: What are we doing… Do you think a person covered in honey has the right to ask something like that?
Kondou: It’s my job to ask. Now provide a straight answer.
Gintoki: What kind of job requirement is it to be covered in honey.
Hijikata: We don’t have to explain to the likes of you.
Kondou: We are here for rhinoceros beetles.
Hijikata: Geez, he answered. Try to be a little…
Kagura: Rhinoceros beetles!?
Gintoki: Hey, hey, so you go on a vacation after taking our tax money?
Gintoki: Is your brain vacant!?
Kondou: This is a job to be proud of. Now get out of the forest because you’re in our way.
Kagura: Stop kidding around! I’m here for the legendary giant beetle!
Kagura: I must avenge Sadaharu No. 28!!
Okita: What are you talking about. You got excited while watching the match and squished that dung beetle yourself.
Kagura: Who got me excited!
Kagura: Who’s fault is it!!
Gintoki: It’s yours.

Page 14
Hijikata: Sougo. You’ve been recklessly hunting rhinoceros beetles again? I told you to stop.
Okita: Isn’t it reckless to try and catch beetles by mayonnaise as well?
Kondou: You tried with mayonnaise again, Toshi?
Kondou: I told you it wouldn’t work. It’s the honey trap all the way.
Hijikata: No way, it’s death by mayonnaise.
Okita: Nah, let’s go with Narikiri Wars Episode III.
Kondou: Nah, let’s go with the wounded honey spa murders.
Guy: Ah, captain, look!

Page 15
Guy: It’s a rhinoceros beetle!
Guy: He’s on the tree straight to the front…
All: It’s beetle hunting!!
Hijikata: You wait up! Don’t you touch that beetle!! Go home already!!
Gintoki: What a joke! I won’t let you hog it. The beetle belongs to all of us. No! It’s mine!
Hijikata: Shit, hey, don’t let them get it! Get ahead no matter….
Hijikata: Pft!!
Kagura: It’s beetle hunting!!

Page 16
Okita: It’s beetle cracking!!
Gintoki: It’s beetle kicking!!
Kondou: Wahahhahhah!
Koudou: Beetle…

Page 17
Koudou: cracking!!
Gintoki: Beetle…
Hijikata: I won’t let you say it! Beetle…
Gintoki: I’m the beetle…
H/G: Hmm?
Kagura: Rhino
Kagura: ceros
Okita: Beetle
Gintoki: Hey, wait a second.
Hijikata: We’re on the same side…
K/O: breaking!!

Page 18
H/G: Gyaaaah!!
??: It’s gone…
Shinpachi: It’s gone…
???: Geez, what a disturbance.
???: It’s difficult enough as it is to try and catch a single bug in a forest.

Page 19
Kondou: What should we do, Toshi…
Hijikata: We just have to keep that from their knowledge.
Hijikata: If they notice that, they’re bound to scheme up something.
Hijikata: After all, that thing can be measured up to a national treasure.
Kondou: Yes! We must find it no matter what.
Kondou: Everyone fill up your stomachs now. We’re searching through the night.
Kondou: We must return the “Rurimaru” to the general as soon as possible.
All: Oooh!!
Okita: Next time, I’ll show her.

Lesson 106: Don’t make chewing noises when you’re eating
Katsuo: I see… No wonder he looked familiar.
Katsuo: That guy lives at Otose-san’s place.
Guy: He’s a drifter who runs a shady freelance shop.
Guy: Apparently he’s monstrously strong.
Guy: That hag Otose is always sticking her nose in other people’s business. She has many friends, but also many enemies.
Guy: But because of the guy, no one has the guts to try anything.
Katsuo: That damn Kyoushirou must’ve hired him to defy us.
Guy: How perilous to pick a fight with one of the four kings of the Kabuki district. Also, I heard our boss is in love with that hag, bro.
Guy: But that was a long time ago. I heard they had a row about the boss being late with the circulation notice and haven’t talked for 10 years since.
Guy: Ah!! Did you see her gesture right now bro!? It was like a doll!
Katsuo: Don’t be so loud!! Mel-chan is going through her most delicate phase right now!!
Guy: Bro!! This! Look at this! Mel-chan is…

Page 2
Katsuo: Woah, woah, what’s this. Another one came out. Now there’re four!!
Guy: But this one isn’t breathing bro!!
Guy: Woah, what’s this? What should I do.
Guy: Pftbleargh!!
Woman: A grown man shouldn’t panic!!
Woman: If you don’t be strong, who’s going to support her! Guys should be prepared, especially for these situations!!
Guy: S-sorry…
Woman: Hey you, bring a clean dried towel!
Guy:Yes!!
Katsuo: Old lady, how is it? Is Mel-chan’s baby going to be saved?
Sound bubble: ku~n
Sound bubble: ku~n
Guy: Alright!! It made a sound!! It’s breathing!!
Guy: It’s wonderful!! It’s a miracle!!

Page 3
Katsuo: Thank you, old lady. Thank you so much.
Woman: It’s alright. Just take care of her.
Katsuo: …
Katsuo: Why are you here, old lady…?
Woman: I heard you talking about a birth. Such a situation needs a mother.
Katsuo: Oh, I see then.
Katsuo: No, I don’t see at all!! What the hell! Who are you, old lady!
Woman: Mother.
Woman: I’m Hachirou’s mother.
Guy: Hachirou… That Hachirou?
Woman: It’s Hachirou Kuroita.
Guy: Hachirou Kuroita…?
???: Hachirou Kuroita… I’ve heard of him before.

Page 4
Hachirou: Sakata-san!!
Shinpachi: Hachirou-san! Did you find the mother?
Shinpachi: We had no luck.
Hachirou: Same here. Not only that, we’ve lost contact with Kyoushirou-san after he gave chase.
Gintoki: Shit.
Gintoki: We were totally fooled by the photo.
Gintoki: So Kyoushirou was the hag’s son, Hachirou.
Gintoki: A mother, not to mention the Buddha wouldn’t have recognized him after that.
Kagura: It’s all your fault for dressing like this and calling yourself Hachirou!
Kagura: It’s so confusing! Do you want me to call JARO!?
Hachirou: It’s your fault for mistaking me for your doodle!!

Page 5
Hachirou: But why didn’t Kyoushirou-san say anything in front his mother?
Hachirou: In the past 5 years, Kyoushirou-san never failed to send money to his mother. He probably missed her a lot.
Kyoushirou: In order to rise up in this city
Kyoushirou: You can’t remain clean.
Kyoushirou: I’ve lost more than I have gained.
Kyoushirou: How embarrassing. Just a bunch that can’t even face their parents.
Sound bubble: ringringring
Kyoushirou: Yes.
Katsuo: Is this Kyoushirou-han? This is Katsuo~

Page 6
Katsuo: We’re having some trouble with your old lady over here~
Katsuo: She inexplicably followed us here. How troublesome.
Katsuo: What should I do, she keeps repeating that she’s Hachirou’s mom.
Katsuo: Should we just take care of it ourselves?
Katsuo: If you’ve got a problem, come pick her up right away. If you don’t hurry, there’s no guarantee what we will do.
Katsuo: Right.
Katsuo: Hachirou Kuroita-han.
Katsuo: Here, over here.
Katsuo: Kyoushirou-h… No, it’s Hachirou-han.

Page 7
Katsuo: What a shock. The boss said your name was really Hachirou Kuroita.
Katsuo: What a name fit for a country folk … I feel closer to you.
Kyoushirou: Where is she…!?
Katsuo: Don’t worry. She’s a valuable hostage so we haven’t done a thing.
Katsuo: Just as we promised, we didn’t reveal your identity to her either.
Katsuo: But I don’t understand why you are so desperate to keep it hidden.
Katsuo: I, for one, definitely can’t face my mother since I’ve strayed too far from the path. She’ll kill me.
Sound bubble: Nngh
Sound bubble: Nngh
Katsuo: But you’ve risen to the rank of the district’s NO1 host. Why don’t you face your mother with pride?
Kyoushirou: Face her with what…
Kyoushirou: I’ve discarded any remnant of the face my mother knew.
Kyoushirou: In order to gain power, I’ve discarded the identity that is Hachirou.
Kyoushirou: Even if I am the NO1 host,
Kyoushirou: I will only appear as someone who cheats women out of their money.
Kyoushirou: And I live in the same world as all of you.
Kyoushirou: I’ll still be living in this filthy world, no matter how much I struggle

Page 8
Katsuo: My, my, this was impressive indeed.
Katsuo: You’re the only one who resisted our offer for so long.
Katsuo: Oh well, today will be the end of that.
Katsuo: What is it, money?
Kyoushirou: It’s my personal funds. I invested a lot in the shop so there isn’t much left.
Katsuo: What~!! You’re still resisting!!
Katsuo: We’re not looking for such birdseed money!! I’m telling you to traffic dugs in your store!
Katsuo: I want a bigger sum than that!!
Kyoushirou: I’m proud to be a host.
Kyoushirou: That’s why I can’t accept your offer.
Kyoushirou: Nor can I face my mother.
Kyoushirou: A host is supposed to make women happy.
Kyoushirou: That’s why,

Page 9
Kyoushirou: to sadden the most important woman in the world,
Kyoushirou: is not something I can do.
Guy: What…
Guy: What did you say!! You don’t care what happens to your…
Guy: Ugyaah!!
Katsuo: Kyoushirou-han…
Katsuo: You’ve got a spirit fit for the name of NO1 host in the Kabuki district.
Katsuo: Tell you the truth; I’m not a fan of drugs either.
Katsuo: I’ve got no choice since the boss is desperate to delve in new prospects.
Katsuo: The yakuza have changed since the arrival of the Amanto.
Katsuo: But I might be able to convince the boss if I had that money.
Katsuo: I’ll let you go today because of your spirit and your 7:3 hair-part ratio.
Katsuo: Bring that here.
Katsuo: I’ll return your mother after.

Page 10
Guy: W-what is that!?
Gintoki: You don’t have to give money to such a dirty bunch.

Page 11
Gintoki: Save that for later.
Gintoki: Buy your mother something nice to eat.
Guy: …!! I-it’s you!!
Guy: Woaaaaah!!

Page 12
Guy: Wagyaaah!!
Shinpachi: I’m not good with machines!!
Guy: Woaaaaaaaah!! Shit, we better retreat first…
Guy: Bugoaah!!
Guy: H-hih…!!
Katsuo: What a reckless bunch. You can’t tell which side is the yakuza anymore…
Katsuo: Hey, give it a rest. Or else this old lady..
Kagura: I’m taking this old lady with me, fuh~
Katsuo: Nooooooh!!
Katsuo: Damn you, stupid shit, don’t underestimate me.
Katsuo: Just because you work for the Otose hag,
Kastuo: doesn’t mean you’ll survive under the Gutter Rat’s wrath you damn stupid shit.
Katsuo: If you make the Jirochou boss your enemy…
Sound bubble: Bft
Katsuo: Mugaaaaaaah!!
Katsuo: A clean hit!! Shit… I’m dizzy… What is this hag eating!!
Katsuo: Don’t let go.
Katsuo: Must endure…
Katsuo: Why are you blushing!
Gintoki: It doesn’t matter if you’re a gutter rat or a house mouse,

Page 13
Gintoki: to hinder those who are desperately treading in the mud
Gintoki: is unforgivable!!
Guy: Brooo!!
Guy: Take this!!

Page 14
Katsuo: Leave them be.
Katsuo: Now if we let them go, we have an excuse for the boss.
Katsuo: The Gutter Rat’s have their own rules too.
Guy: Bro…
Katsuo: We always repay the debts we’ve earned.
Katsuo: We borrow 7 and give back 3.
Katsuo: Same goes for what we’re owed.
Katsuo: If they owe 3, we get back 7.
Kastuo: Remember that bro.
Hachirou: Same as always.
Hachirou: Kyoushirou-san.

Page 15
Hachirou: Did you hear?
Hachirou: He didn’t face his mother after all.
Woman: Listen! You need to steam the pumpkin with sugar and sake!!
Gintoki: Quit nagging, how many times do you have to say it!!
Woman: Don’t talk so loud!! Gee you, always trying to trip me up!!
Hachirou: He said he’s not good enough to meet his mother yet.
Hachirou: He hasn’t done a thing to be ashamed of.
Hachirou: I know what a beautiful heart he has. I was always next to him.
Guy: Hey, Hachirou-san. Someone left a weird thing at the back door.
Woman: Listen! Don’t steam it for too long! It’ll crumble! Moderate it!
Gintoki: Quit saying the same thing!!
Woman: Don’t shout!! Geez, you’re always trying to trip me up!!
Woman: Oh, Kyoushirou-san~
Hachirou: Sorry for the wait.
Woman: What is this… Steamed vegetables…?
Woman: Hey, we didn’t order this! W-why are you smiling?
Woman: Listen! Chew your food thoroughly!!
Gintoki: Shut up, how many times are you going to say that!!
Woman: This is the first time!! I won’t be tricked!

Page 16
Woman: What is this, pumpkin?
Woman: Who ordered such an odd thing?
Woman: Was it Kyoushirou-san?
Woman: Are you kidding, there’s no way Kyoushirou-san will eat something like that.
Woman: I’m going to go now, when I leave remembered to lock the door. It’s dangerous lately!!
Gintoki: Stop nagging and go already!
Kagura: Bye old lady, sweet dreams.
Woman: You too, you damn kid!
Woman: I’m off then.
Shinpachi: Um, mother…
Shinpachi: Um…
Shinpachi: Sorry we couldn’t help you after all…
Woman: What are you saying.

Page 17
Woman: You found him for me.
Letter: To Hachirou. From mother.
Letter: Dear Hachirou,
Letter: First, let me say, I told you to fix the way you hold chopsticks. It really bothers me.
Letter: Also, don’t make chewing noises when you’re eating.
Letter: It annoys mother.
Letter: Lastly…
Letter: I don’t know the details but,
Letter: mother will be happy as long as you’re happy.
Letter: No matter how much you change,
Letter: you’re a son to be proud of.
Kyoushirou: M…
Kyoushirou: Mother.
Gintoki: The annoying one is finally gone.
Gintoki: Even though she’s a mother, I now know they are annoying as hell.
Kagura: Seriously.
Shinpachi: Yeah…
All: 1 2 3 4

Title: Lesson 105 Too much Kaki-pi is bad for you
*Note: Kaki-pi: A mixture of small rice crackers and peanuts.
Kagura: Let’s see.
Kagura: Why don’t you bring out a Dom Pérignon.
Guy: But miss, aren’t you underage? Why don’t you have some juice…
Guy: Pfft!!
Kagura: Boy, try not to anger me too much, will you?
Kagura: I told you to call me queen, not miss.
Guy: My apologies! Queen of the Kabuki district!!

Page 2
Kagura: How laughable, a host who doesn’t know how to handle a lady.
Kagura: You can satisfy older women by treating them like young girls,
Kagura: but for exceptionally young ones, you must treat them like adults…
Kagura: If they asked for a Dom Pérignon, bring them a cup of milk and why not play along?
Guy: My apologies to the queen! Here’s a cup of milk then!
Kagura: You really brought one. What a useless bunch of boys.
Kagura: Do you take me for woman who can be satisfied with milk? I’m an adult now. I can even drink Oronamin C.
*Note: Oronamin C is an energy drink.
Guy: How admirable, you’re truly an adult to be able to drink that~
Kagura: My ex… He said a child shouldn’t drink such things, and that even adults can only drink one a day.
Kagura: I wonder what he’s doing now…
Kagura: Oh, I’ve already emptied two bottles somehow.
Gintoki: So~ This is what a host club looks like.
Gintoki: Oy, it kind of makes me feel jittery.
Shinpachi: Yeah, it doesn’t feel like a place for guys.
Gintoki: Well, at least we get free alcohol. Don’t you drink though. I permit you to have Oronamin C. But keep it at one bottle.
Woman: Nooo!!

Page 3
Woman: You touched me! This guy just touched me!
Guy: No I didn’t, I was just pouring you a drink…
Woman: No way! You touched me just now! You grabbed my boobs!
Woman: And you too, why have you been giving me such perverted glances?
Guy: B-but I wasn’t looking…
Woman: You were staring! Always looking at my body! Sekuhara! Sexual harassment!
Gintoki: Oy, shut up hag. Your face is a sexual harassment.
Woman: What, let’s go Gin-san! What is this place!!
Woman: We came to find Hachirou! Why are we here!?
Gintoki: There, there, just calm down.
Gintoki: You guys can go now; we can just drink by ourselves.
Shinpachi: Gin-san.
Shinpachi: It seems like the mother hasn’t noticed yet.
Gintoki: Well, yeah.
Gintoki: Her son has changed a lot. And Hachirou is a common name…
Shinpachi: But what is Hachirou-san up to?
Shinpachi: It seems he doesn’t plan to tell his mother any time soon.
Shinpachi: It must be hard to break the silence after 5 years, and after so many changes, but…
Shinpachi: Why did he go to all the trouble of inviting us here then?

Page 4
Gintoki: Humans are unreasonable like that.
Gintoki: If she’s being attacked, a son will save his mother no matter how annoying she is.
Shinpachi: You say attacked, but you were the one doing the attacking.
Kyoushirou: Is everybody enjoying themselves?
Shinpachi: Oh, Kyoushirou-san.
Gintoki: Well, it doesn’t feel right to have a guy pour my drink.
Kyoushirou: Fufu… My apologies. Since this is a host club, we can only service as such.
Kyoushirou: Please drink to your heart’s content. Oh, would you like some food as well?
Gintoki: Ah, then I’ll have…
Woman: No thanks. I brought it from home.
Woman: Boiled beans! Eat the same number of beans as your age and you won’t get cancer.
Gintoki: Why did you bring that!? Stop that, it reeks of poverty!!
Gintoki: Let’s live it up since we’re here already! Why are the beans sweet!? It doesn’t go with sake!!
Woman: These beans will cure your crankiness! Hurry up and eat! Hey, the flashy boy over there, you too!
Shinpachi: Kyoushirou-san, I want to inquire about something…
Kyoushirou: Huh? What is it?
Shinpachi: Since Kyoushirou-san is the store’s NO.1 and the management, you must be familiar with most things?
Kyoushirou: Well… Somewhat.

Page 5
Shinpachi: It’s about that Mr. Giant Afro over there… When did he start working here?
Kyoushirou: You mean Hachirou? He’s a friend of mine, and he was here when the store opened.
Kyoushirou: I was working at another shop before, but we decided to leave 2 years ago.
Kyoushirou: He used to be a host too, but due to a surgical accident, he works behind the scenes now.
Shinpachi: What kind of an accident creates a face like that? Did the ER explode?
Shinpachi: So he’s responsible for guarding as well?
Kyoushirou: Indeed, he’s also a bodyguard. Sorry you had to witness such messes…
Kyoushirou: It’s a dangerous city so he has to do those things…
Kyoushirou: If you want to succeed here, you can’t be clean forever.
Kyoushirou: Although I’ve become Kabuki district’s NO.1 host, I’ve lost more than I have gained.
Kyoushirou: How embarrassing…
Kyoushirou: We’re a lowly bunch who cannot even face our parents.
Kyoushirou: So, what about Hachirou?

Page 6
Guy: Here he is, bro.
Guy: This is Hachirou.
Katsuo: I see~
Katsuo: Come; bring him quickly so we won’t trouble the store.
Kyoushirou: Hachirou!!
Gintoki: Hey, Oy. What’s going on?
Kyoushirou: That’s the Gutter Rats…
Katsuo: Sorry to cause a stir.
Katsuo: Please go about your business, we’ll be off.

Page 7
Katsuo: Oh my, everybody ran away.
Katsuo: Sorry, Kyoushirou-han. Report us for obstruction of business then.
Kyoushirou: Doumoto-san…
Kyoushirou: You again.
Kyoushirou: Please let go of Hachirou.
Kyoushirou: And please stop pestering us.
Katsuo: No, no, no. Today I’m not here for that, Kyoushirou-han.
Katsuo: Really, I’m not one to be bothered by such things.
Katsuo: Right now my Dachshund is pregnant. I want to be there for the birth.
Katsuo: Really, this old man doesn’t have time to mind a kid’s fight.
Kanshirou: A kid’s fight?

Page 8
Katsuo: Your bodyguard. I hear he’s been disciplining kids in the streets.
Katsuo: You shouldn’t be so violent. Really, host these days are scarier than the yakuza.
Kanshirou: They were juniors from our own group. It’s none of your business how we educate them.
Katsuo: But it is our business.
Katsuo: Right, Kanshichi-kun?
Kankichi: It’s Kankichi.
Katsuo: So it turns out Kankichi-kun is related to my boss.
Katsuo: See, that’s why I have to take care of this. How very bothersome.
Kanshirou: He’s related to the Gutter Rat’s boss? I didn’t hear…
Katsuo: I don’t know either. They are probably far removed.
Katsuo: Like a relative’s relative’s relative’s relative.
Kanshirou: Please don’t lie.
Katsuo: I’m not lying, right Kanpachi-kun?
Kankichi: Y-yes, a relative’s relative’s relative.
Katsuo: You’re missing one relative!!
Sound bubble: Gefuh

Page 9
Gintoki: Woah!!
Katsuo: Damn. I kicked the boss’ relative’s relative’s relative’s relative’s relative by accident.
Guy: That’s one too many relatives bro.
Katsuo: Oh well, if you follow the lineage, humans were all born from the same mother. We’re all relatives.
Shinpachi: Gin-san, this is bad. Hachirou-san is…
Shinpachi: Who are these people?
Gintoki: That’s probably the Gutter Rat’s black ace, Katsuo.
Gintoki: One of the Kabuki district’s four kings. A young leader working for chief Doromizu Jiro. I heard he’s dangerous.
Gintoki: So what dodgy thing is he up to?
Kagura: Drugs, it’s the drugs.
Gintoki: Woah!
Kagura: The hosts were talking.
Kagura: The Gutter Rats have been trying to traffic drugs in this store for a while.
Kagura: When Kyoushirou refused, they started vandalizing the business.

Page 10
Gintoki: Shit… What an increasingly bothersome son, right mom?
Gintoki: Huh…?
Gintoki: Where did she go?
Kagura: She vanished.
Woman: Hey waaait!!
Woman: What are you doing~!!
Woman: Hey, he’s covered in blood! What did you dooo!!
Katsuo: What? Who’s the old lady?
Woman: Heeey! This… Um… Heeey!!
Katsuo: How long are you going to repeat that.
Woman: Kaki-pi goes well with sake, sure!! But if you eat too much…
Sound bubble: Grip
Sound bubble: point point
Katsuo: He’s not bleeding this much because of the peanuts!!
Woman: I told you to eat the crackers and peanuts at a 6:4 ratioo!!

Page 11
Katsuo: Hey, give it a rest lady. I don’t know where you came from,
Katsuo: but we aren’t here for games. Don’t mess with us…
Katsuo: It’s obvious the ratio of crackers to peanuts should be 7:3!!
Katsuo: The world is made so you can divide all with a 7:3 ratio!!
Katsuo: 7:3 is the golden ratio that rules the universe, you worthless idiot!!
Woman: With a ratio like 7:3, you must only want to eat the crackers!! Keep reading the battle of the monkey and crab all your life, you worthless idiot.
Katsuo: No way!! That golden ratio creates a perfect balance of crackers and peanuts!! Ugly worthless idiot!!
Woman: You’re just mindlessly addicted to the word golden ratio and floats from day to day like a dead worthless idiotic bastard!!
Katsuo: Fine, lady. We’re debating Kaki-pi into the morning.
Woman: Let’s see who’s right.
Guy: Bro, why are we here?
Katsuo: Bring the sake already!!
Katsuo: What is this, a host club without any service?
Guy: H-hih…
???: Ok, be right with you~

Page 12
Shinpachi: Welcome to host club Takamagahara this night.
Shinpachi: I’m Shin, one of the club’s top 3.
Gintoki: I’m Gin. Just do it.
Kagura: I’m Gura. Fuh~
Kyoushirou: Wha…
Katsuo: You have guts. Come over here.
Katsuo: If only there were some beautiful girls…
Woman: Oh? Gin-san…
Kagura: Hmm, miss?
Kagura: Oh my~ She’s passed out. Fuh~
Katsuo: But, she didn’t drink yet.

Page 13
Gintoki: Hey Shin. Take the hag…the miss over to that side. Just do it.
Shinpachi: Okay. Even if it costs me my life…
Katsuo: What’s this. So annoying.
Katsuo: Well, whatever. Let’s get back to business Kyoushirou-han.
Gintoki: What do you drink?
Katsuo: Liquor with water at 7:3. Speaking of…
Gintoki: The liquor at 3 or the water at 3?
Katsuo: The liquor at 3.
Gintoki: The liquor at 3?
Katsuo: I said liquor at 3! Let’s talk…
Gintoki: What do you drink, Liquor-san?
Katsuo: I’m not Liquor-san!!
*Note: Pun with –san (honorific) and the number three. (san)
Katsuo: No, I do want liquor at 3! But this 3 is “san”, not three! Liquor at three and water at 7, okay?
Gintoki: Okay. Even if it costs me my life.
Katsuo: That quote will never be popular! Why do you keep pushing it! It’s really annoying!!
Katsuo: Cough… Back to business.
Katsuo: I’m tired of going around it so I’ll just tell it like it is, Kyoushirou-han.
Katsuo: If you don’t want your people hurt, just follow our orders.
Katsuo: It’s not that bad. It’s easy.
Katsuo: Just use your sweet talk and trick the women into giving you money for the drugs.
Katsuo: Then we will be your protection.
Katsuo: I’ll give you 7:3 of the profit too.
Katsuo: Then you won’t have any trouble at all.

Page 14
Kyoushirou: I’ll say it again.
Kyoushirou: We don’t require help from people like you.
Kyoushirou: We’ve always relied on ourselves in this city.
Kyoushirou: That’s not about to change.
Katsuo: I see.
Katsuo: So if something happened to your friends… Ow!
Katsuo: Shit, that hurts! It hurts and it’s so loud!
Katsuo: Why are you using a flint? You keep hitting my face with it.
Katsuo: Don’t you have a lighter? Here, use this.
Kagura: No, I don’t take presents. It’s too heavy of a heavy proposal.
Katsuo: I’m not giving it to you! I’m telling you to light a fire with it.
Katsuo: Don’t make collaborations out of the flint and lighter!!
Katsuo: What the hell did you do. This was expensive you know.
Hachirou: Kyoushirou-san!!
Hachirou: Don’t worry about me! Don’t listen to these guys!!
Hachirou: Despite us treading through mud water and changing our face, we decided to stand.
Hachirou: Didn’t we decide to live on in this city!!

Page 15
Katsuo: How admirable.
Katsuo: I’ll teach you how terrifying it is to live in this city.
Katsuo: Have you heard of the Enkozume?
Katsuo: Us yakuza will cut off a finger as a sign of assertion.
Katsuo: But our group has strict rules so,
Katsuo: all your fingers.
Kyoushirou: Stop!!
Bro: It’s too late.
Bro: Our resolution is at a different level.
Bro: Take thiiis!!
Sound bubble: Crack

Page 16
Gintoki: Hey, oy.
Gintoki: Do you know about the seppuku?
Gintoki: That’s what us samurais do for assertion.
Gintoki: We cut open the stomach.
Gintoki: Though it looks like it hurts so I’ll pass.
Bro: You…
Bro: Who are you.
Guy: What do you think you’re doing!!
Gintoki: 3 bottles of Dom Pérignon coming right up!!

Page 17
Shinpachi: Here!
Guy: Pft Gaaaah!!

Page 18
Bro: Not everything runs smoothly,
Bro: in this world.
Sound bubble: Ring ring ring
Bro: Hm… A text.
Bro: Aaaah!!
Bro: My Mel-chan!! She became a mother while I was away!!
Gintoki: Oh, she finally gave birth. Congratulations.
Bro: It’s not the time for congratulations. Retreat right away!!
Guy: Roger!
Bro: Remember well!
Bro: Next time you won’t get off this lightly!
Word bubble: Sigh~
Hachirou: T-thank you so much. We’re saved.
Gintoki: Pft. What a troublesome bunch.

Page 19
Gintoki: I can’t let a son die in front of his mother.
Hachirou: Mother?
Gintoki: Don’t act dumb. I don’t know why you were hiding it, but it’s time to tell the hag the truth.
Hachirou: Um, I really don’t know what…
Shinpachi: Give it a rest. Do you know how worried your mother was?
Hachirou: Eh…? But, um, my mother is dead.
Gintoki: What, you mean she’s like dead to you or something…?
Hachirou: She died a year ago.
Hachirou: And also, I used to be a girl so I can’t be a son.
Hachirou: I’m a transvestite.
Hachirou: Hachirou is an alias. My real name is Hanako.
Kagura: This is bad, Gin-chan!!
Kagura: The old lady is… I can’t find her anywhere!!
Kagura: She might’ve been kidnapped…!
Kyoushirou: !! Mother!!
Gintoki: Huh.

Gintama Chapter 104
*I have no idea what a "Nomimonta" is, so I left it as is. (Page 1)

Page 1
Title: Lesson 104
Woman: You!! Just how much longer do you plan to sleep!! Seriously!!
Sound bubble: Twitch
Woman: There, get up! Breakfast is ready!
Gintoki: Ah~ forget it. I don’t want breakfast.
Woman: Don’t be stupid! Breakfast is the source of a day’s brain fuel. Even Nomimonta was saying that on TV!
Gintoki: Wait, really, please spare me… I’m having a hangover.
Woman: Act your age and stop drinking yourself into such a state! Be more responsible!
Kagura: What is it~ So noisy this early on.

Page 2
Woman: Ah~ What girl walks around with pus on their face~ Go wash up!
Kagura: Be quiet. I won’t take orders from anyone.
Woman: Fine then, turn your face this way.
Sound bubble: Spit
Kagura: Woah, it stinks!
Woman: There, nice and clean. A girl should be clean!
Woman: Really, what a bunch of lazybones.
Woman: How much rice. Full bowl? Half a bowl?
Gintoki: …I’ll have half then…
Woman: Don’t be stupid!! You’re too skinny. A boy needs a little body fat!
Gintoki: Shut up. Then don’t ask me to begin with.
Woman: Don’t talk back! Really, you’re always picking at my mistakes!!
Shinpachi: Good morning.
Shinpachi: Oh? Smells good.
Woman: Oh, good morning.
Shinpachi: Woah!! G-good morning.
Woman: What are you doing. Get ready to eat.
Woman: How much rice? Half a bowl? A full bowl?
Shinpachi: Oh, I ate at home.
Woman: What are you saying, wearing such thick glasses! You have bad eyesight because you don’t eat well!
Shinpachi: Um, I don’t think that’s related.
Woman: Don’t talk back! Really, you’re always picking at my mistakes!!

Page 3
Woman: Try to eat it all.
Woman: I’m just going to take out the garbage.
Shinpachi: Gin-san.
Gintoki: Yeah.
Shinpachi: Her.
Shinpachi: Who is she.
Gintoki: You know.
Gintoki: She’s mom.
Shinpachi: Huh? Yours?
Gintoki: No way, I don’t have family. She’s your mom, right. Thanks for the food.
Shinpachi: Just telling you, my mother died when I was a baby. She’s Kagura-chan’s right?
Kagura: My mommy is much prettier. And she’s with the stars now.
Woman: Don’t talk while you’re eating something!
Shinpachi: Ah, sorry.
Woman: Chew thoroughly! Do it 20 times before you swallow!
All: ……1 2 3 4…

Page 4
Title: Lesson 104 Most mothers are about the same.

Page 5
Woman: I’m mother.
Woman: Hachirou’s mother.
Gintoki: Who’s Hachirou.
Gintoki: Anyways, why is Hachirou’s mother being a mother here?
Woman: In the country, where I live, a mother is everyone’s mother, and a child is everyone’s child.
Gintoki: Are you pretending to be a great mother? With a face like the great Masa. …Hey what’re you doing? Why are you eating? Hey, why are you eating all our food.
Woman: I left the country for Edo just to see my son.
Woman: Well~ there’s a lot of things I don’t know about the city~ The subway is like a maze. It’s spellbinding.
Gintoki: Wait, just how many bowls did you have already? Hey, where did you get such a perm. You call that a perm?
Woman: Then as I was lost and confused, I found your sign.
Woman: Since I’ll be in your care, I thought I would cook something up while everyone was asleep.
Gintoki: Hey, wait. Hey, that’s my pudding. What’s that? A switch? That thing above your eyebrows. A self-destruction switch? Hey, if I press that, will you go away?

Page 6
Woman: Here. This is my son, Hachirou.
Woman: I haven’t heard from him since he left for Edo, 5 years ago.
Woman: He’s working in this city for sure… Can you help me find him?
Gintoki: Well… If it’s a job, then we’ll accept.
Gintoki: Do you have money, old lady?
Woman: Here, I really wanted Hachirou to eat this. …It can’t be helped.
Gintoki: Hey, old lady, have you heard of sincerity?
Woman: I see… This is why they say the megalopolis Edo is a cesspool.
Woman: I understand. Do what you want. But let me just say one thing.
Woman: You will never find true love.
Gintoki: Don’t read into alternate meanings!! That’s disgusting, damn hag!! Money, I mean money!!
Gintoki: Well, I’ll just get the full payment from your son later.
Gintoki: So have you seen him?
Otose: It’s an uncommon face.
Gintoki: The name is Hachirou Kuroita.
Otose: Names are meaningless in the Kabuki district.
Otose: It’s full of people who have discarded their name and the past.

Page 7
Woman: Hang on, what are you saying lady? What about my son? You’re saying he’s in some shady business?
Otose: No, no. I’m just saying there are a lot of those people.
Woman: Don’t be kidding me! Hachirou is not like that!
Woman: He was someone to be proud of ever since he was little, always earnest and smart and caring of his mother!
Woman: He only left because my husband died while working in Edo 5 years ago… That boy…
Woman: Sob… He said he was… going to be a treasure hunter for sure…
Shinpachi: How is that smart!?
Woman: You’re wrong! He probably meant he was going to hunt for the treasure of happiness!
Woman: Anyways, he’s definitely working hard!
Woman: Brave and unwavering in a city full of greed.
Woman: Living life to the fullest!
Woman: Please! Let me see my son!!
Woman: I want to see him just once, and ask if he’s alright!

Page 8
Gintoki: I see, thanks.
Gintoki: I’ll come again if there’s anything.
Shinpachi: Gin-san~
Kagura: Gin-chan~
Shinpachi: I’ve got nothing.
Kagura: Same here. This thing is too soaked with the old woman’s smell, and it’s messing with Sadaharu’s nose.
Shinpachi: What about you?

Page 9
Shinpachi: Here…?
Shinpachi: An illegal doctor…
Shinpachi: Could it be.
Gintoki: I asked around and there was no lead, so I changed my perspective.
Gintoki: It seems the caring son has changed the face his parents dealt him a couple of times.
Shinpachi: Plastic surgery!? But why?
Gintoki: And it seems he visited several doctors.
Gintoki: This photo is no longer reliable.
Kagura: It’s like he’s a criminal, changing his face so often like that~
Shinpachi: Gin-san… Maybe we shouldn’t associate too deeply with this case.
Shinpachi: If we find out more… Hachirou-san may not be too happy either.
Shinpachi: It might be better if the mother doesn’t find out…
Gintoki: It’s not for us to decide that.
Gintoki: Let’s just find the caring son first.
Shinpachi: But the photo can’t be used any longer. How…?
Gintoki: It’s not like surgery can change the bone structure that much.

Page 10
Gintoki: All the plastic surgery patients have the same face.
Gintoki: I can imagine… Like this.
Shinpachi: Wait, what are you doing, that’s not surgery. That’s just a wig.
Kagura: I watch “Beauty Coliseum” every day. Let me do it.
Shinpachi: Hey, don’t treat it like it’s a textbook picture!
Gintoki: You overdid it. How are you going to fix this?
Kagura: Just cover it up from here.
Gintoki: Oh, hey, this is kind of good isn’t it?
Shinpachi: Ah… You’re right. It looks like a frequenter of Odaiba.
Shinpachi: Like hell there is!!
Shinpachi: A face like that doesn’t exist!! Even if it did, you can’t go outside like that!
Gintoki: Nah, it exists. Around the Neverland area.
Shinpachi: Not even Neverland! Even if there was, you can’t go outside with that face!
Shinpachi: Anyways, this isn’t surgery! You guys are only drawing on hair!!
Shinpachi: No more! No more! Let’s just stop! Nothing good can come from this job…
Sound bubble: Ring ring

Page 11
Sound bubble: Slip
Hachirou: Hey, I’m Hachirou.
Hachirou: Ah, yes, I’ll be coming to pick you up.
All: H…
All: He really exists!!
Gintoki: N-no way!! H-he exists!!
Shinpachi: W-w-what should we do! What should we do!?
Gintoki: Calm down! Let’s just get the old hag!!
Gintoki: Mothe…
Gintoki: What… What’s she doing?

Page 12
Kagura: She’s having a tiff with some Gal.
Gintoki: Haaaag!!
Gintoki: I’ll do something about that. You guys go chase Hachirou.
All: Roger!!
Gal: Like, you’re really getting on my nerves, hag.
Gal: Stop staring at us like that.
Gal: What’s with the silence? She’s looking at us like we’re not human. Like, it’s kind gross?
Woman: Ambulaaaance!!
Gal: Like, what are you calling!? Unbelievable!? Like, what are you doing!?
Woman: Someone hurry up and call an ambulance!!
Woman: Not only do these people have dirt coloured skin, they are not feeling well!!
Gal: You’re the one grossing me out, hag! Like, this is pissing me off!

Page 13
Gintoki: Mother, come this way.
Gintoki: Sorry, she’s from the country so forgive her.
Gal: Wait, let go Gin-san. Look at their faces! My husband looked the same when he died!
Gintoki: Oh, them. They were born from manure, that’s all.
Gal: Hey, what do you mean by that!!
Gintoki: I mean that. Like, I’m busy, so go back to the manure.
Kankichi: Wait, hang on, what’s the matter?
Kankichi: Osaki-chan is in trouble~ yay~
Gal: Kankichi-san!
Gal: Like, this outdated family is bothering us~
Kankichi: Oh, what, a bunch of country folks? Yay~
Kankichi: I don’t know what wilderness you come from,
Kankichi: but I’ll kill you if you mess around in my city.
Woman: Oh, his legs are so short.
Kankichi: Shiiit, it’s the style!!

Page 14
Gintoki: Sorry. We’re from the country, so please spare us. Like, we’re busy so we better get going then.
Gintoki: Give it a rest already. That style is a popular way to hide short legs right now in Edo.
Kankichi: You’re even ruder!!
Kankichi: Yo, wait!! What are you trying to pull.
Kankichi: I won’t go easy on you, even if you’re an old hag…
Gintoki: Hey.
Gintoki: Didn’t you hear me say I was a busy, skinhead.
Gintoki: I don’t care if you wear loose socks or hakama.
Gintoki: But what kind of a person raises their hand to an old hag.
Gintoki: …Even if your socks are loose…

Page 15
Gintoki: At least keep your morals sharp!!
Kankichi: Gyaaah!!
Gintoki: Raise your pants, goddamn it! Idiots!
Gintoki: Raise your socks!
Gintoki: Try to emulate Aikawa Shou!! Like in Dead or Alive!! He was like this!!
Kyoushirou: That’s about enough!

Page 16
Kyoushirou: Kankichi.
Kyoushirou: What are you doing here?
Kankichi: K-
Kankichi: Kyoushirou-san!!
Gintoki: …What.
Word on right: Ah…
Word on left: Hachirou!?

Page 17
Hachirou: You idioooot!!
Kanshichi: Gufuh!!
Hachirou: Even if you’re minor, you still work for our shop.
Hachirou: Shaming Kyoushirou-san like that!!
Hachirou: You’re fired. Don’t ever get near the Kabuki district again.
Word on right: Huh? What?
Word on left: What’s going on.
Girl: Kyah~ It’s Kyoushirou-sama and Hachirou-sama.
Girl: Ah, so that’s Kyoushirou Honjyou, Kabuki district’s NO.1 host.
Girl: He’s cool, but a bit scary isn’t he? A bit like a Yakuza.

Page 18
Gintoki: …Host?
Gintoki: Err… What was a host again.
Woman: Gin-san, what’s that?
Woman: Hey, what’s a host.
Gintoki: Ah, you know. Like the male version of a hostess.
Gintoki: A bunch of guys chosen for their looks…
Gintoki: …Host?
Gintoki: Err. What was a host again…
Gintoki: Chosen for their looks…
Gintoki: …Huh?
Gintoki: Host?
Gintoki: This…
Gintoki: Is a host?
Gintoki: Host!?

Page 19
Gintoki: Her…
Gintoki: Son…
Gintoki: Hooost!?
Hachirou: I apologize in his place. Are you hurt?
Woman: Yeah, I’m fine. It was nothing.
Hachirou: Will you come to our shop and let us express our hospitality?
Hachirou: To our castle.
Hachirou: Takamagahara.

Shinpachi: Impossible.
Shinpachi: Why is Gin-san here a well? Please explain in under 30 letters.
Gintoki: I can’t.
Hasegawa: Are you an idiot!! Who brings babies into the enemy territory!!
Gintoki: What the hell, talking to your savior like that. …Why are you here anyways? Tell me in under 30 letters.
Hasegawa: Shut up!!
Hasegawa: That old man is after the baby!!
Hasegawa: Even after stepping all over the baby’s mother!!
Hasegawa: He turned around so fast after his only son died.
Hasegawa: He’s trying to seize the kid and force him to be the next heir!!

Gintoki: …Hey hey. It seems like I’ve wasted my time and effort in trying to return this kid.
Hashida: It wasn’t wasted.
Hashida: That is my grandson.
Hashida: He’s an important heir to Hashidaya. Return him here.
Gintoki: If it was up to me, as long as I’m free of you it doesn’t matter whom you return to.
Gintoki: Hey, what is it you want?
Kanshichirou: Nafuh
Gintoki: Ah, I see, I see.
Ofusa: Wah!
Gintoki: Sorry old man.
Gintoki: It would be better for him to nurse on his mother’s lacking breasts,
Gintoki: than an old man’s dirty chest.
Ofusa: Give it a rest! Can you stop that dirty talk!
Hashida: Do you think you can elude me?
Hashida: I still have something up my sleeve.

Page 4
Hashida: Despite his blindness, he has the upper hand in any Iai-sword match.
Hashida: An assassin who can destroy any of his prey with one blow.
Hashida: His name is Okada Nizou.
Hashida: A much-feared man known as the Assassin Nizou.

Nizou: Hey.
Nizou: I thought I would see you again.
Gintoki: You’re that guy.
Gintoki: You couldn’t see?
Nizou: It seems like both your arms are available this time.
Nizou: How wonderful. Now we can fight without holding back.
Hashida: Nizou!!
Hashida: You can kill them all, as long as you get Kanshichirou!!

Nizou: Have a better hold on it when you’re carrying a baby.
Nizou: Right, mother?
Ofusa: Kanshichirou!!
Hashida: Kukuku
Hashida: A swift attack as expected of the great Nizou.
Hashida: Now let me be an observant audience.
Nizou: Sorry master.
Nizou: It seems like that man is no easy opponent.
Nizou: Please take the kid and make a run for it.
Gintoki: Shinpachi, Kagura…
Gintoki: You go get the kid.

Page 8
Kagura: But!!
Gintoki: Owowow, just go already.
Gintoki: I’ll
Gintoki: catch up later.
Nizou: Are you sure.
Nizou: A samurai should not make a promise he can’t keep.
Gintoki: Don’t worry.
Gintoki: I may look like a trickster but I’m honest.
Gintoki: For things like dates, I always arrive 30 minutes in advance.
Nizou: It’s been a while since I last saw a person who withstood my hits.

Page 9
Nizou: I lost my sight due to a sickness when I was still young.
Nizou: Some said I was no longer any use as a swordsman.
Nizou: But in a real match, one blow can be decisive.
Nizou: It doesn’t matter if you can see or not, as long your attacks are faster and stronger.
Nizou: Thus Iai is a fitting method for me.
Nizou: Not only that, humans are so resilient.
Nizou: The other senses strengthen to substitute the eyes.
Nizou: Ah~
Nizou: Because of that, my nose, ears, and intuition are like that of a wild beast.
Nizou: My entire body is the eye. I can see more than before.
Nizou: Did you know? In this world, there is more than which meets the eye.
Nizou: Have you seen it? The thing that escapes the body at the instant of death.
Nizou: Maybe that’s the soul.
Nizou: The moment you make the kill, it glows… Such a beautiful colour.
Nizou: I became known as an assassin whilst making the chase for it.
Nizou: Hey you.
Nizou: What colour is your soul?
Gintoki: …Your eyes are quite impressive.
Gintoki: Maybe you have better sight than even Sankhon-san.

Page 10
Gintoki: I don’t know if your whole body is the eye, or you’re old man eyeball or whatever.
Gintoki: I don’t need that to see it.
Gintoki: The colour of your filthy soul…is the colour of shit.
Gintoki: Assassins are just a bunch of bastards that don’t bother looking twice at the pain and suffering.
Gintoki: In the end, you haven’t seen a thing.
Nizou: Wanna try me?
Gintoki: Start. I’ll break your skull.

Page 11
Nizou: You said start so I did.
Nizou: Aren’t you a little fast?
Nizou: It’s you who is blind.

Gintoki: What is it~?
Gintoki: Did you hallucinate my death?

Test: My sword is….!!

Text: It can’t be!!
Text: He broke my sword in the first blow…!?
Gintoki: Weren’t you the swift swords man who can unsheathe the sword imperceptibly?
Text: Can it be that he’s faster than my swift sword technique…
Text: I only imagined cutting him…
Gintoki: I’m telling you, you’re not seeing a thing.
Gintoki: Try opening your eyes a little you idiot!!

Hashida: S…
Hashida: Stay away!!
Hashida: Kanshichirou is my grandson!
Hashida: Hashidaya is also mine! It’s mine! I won’t give it to anyone!
Ofusa: Do as you please with Hashidaya.
Ofusa: But that baby is mine.
Hashida: Shit. Annoying woman.
Hashida: You took my son.
Hashida: Now you will take Kanshichirou and Hashidaya too.
Ofusa: Stop saying things like that when you’re holding a baby.
Hashida: Idiotic. How can a baby understand?
Ofusa: They remember. No matter how young they are.
Ofusa: Especially when they are held with kindness…
Ofusa: Kantarou-sama always talked about that.

Page 15
Ofusa: An alter with a mountain of flowers.
Ofusa: Decorated with the picture of a beautiful woman.
Hashida: …It’s alright.
Hashida: We’ll be fine even if you’re not here.
Hashida: I’ll make the meals.
Hashida: Diapers too… Though I don’t know how to change him, I’ll make do.
Hashida: So,
Hashida: don’t worry about us.
Hashida: I’ll protect them.
Hashida: Both Kantarou and Hashidaya.
Ofusa: …That’s why you’re doing things like this.
Ofusa: By doing this, do you think Kantarou-sama or your wife will be pleased?

Page 16
Hashida: …Kantarou was born sickly.
Hashida: The doctor said even if he’s lucky, he’ll only live a third the life of a regular person.
Hashida: After hearing that,
Hashida: my wife simply said it’s fine, as long as he leads a life that is three times happier.
Hashida: Even if that life is as short as that of a cicada, as long as he lives to the fullest…
Hashida: But I’m not as understanding as my wife.
Hashida: I hired many doctors and raised my son in a cage.
Hashida: …It didn’t matter how.
Hashida: I wanted him to live.
Hashida: Kantarou, and also my wife…
Hashida: I ended up losing them anyways…
Hashida: I couldn’t keep one promise…

Kanshichirou: Mofuh
Hashida: Kanshichirou…
Ofusa: You haven’t lost everything.
Ofusa: Kanshichirou is my child.
Ofusa: But it’s unmistakable…
Ofusa: He’s your grandson as well.
Ofusa: So.
Ofusa: The next time you come over to my house, don’t come as the owner of Hashidaya.
Ofusa: Come as his caring grandfather.
Ofusa: I’ll even get out some teacakes.
Hasegawa: …No one can triumph over a mother.
Hasegawa: text: What was it. The mother knows all?
Gintoki: text: Hey. Why are you wearing a diaper. Hey.

Page 18
Ofusa: We’ll get going then.
Ofusa: Um… You’ve really helped us a lot.
Ofusa: I won’t forget it as long as I live.
Hasegawa: Please forget how I lost my dignity.

Page 19
Gintoki: …Right.
Gintoki: When you’re a little older.
Gintoki: Come meet me if you still remember me…
Gintoki: Then we’ll drink to our heart’s content.
Kanshichirou: Supun
Gintoki: Yeah, it’s a promise. Samurais don’t make promises they can’t keep.
Kanshichirou: Uwaan!!
Ofusa: Hey what’s the matter Kanshichirou!?
Ofusa: Ah~ Why are you crying so much? Hm?
Ofusa: That’s weird. He rarely cries at all.
Gintoki: Shit. What a noisy bunch of cicadas.

Hashida: Did I not say this was a personal affair to be dealt with in private?
Shinpachi: Don’t worry. We are here on personal matters as well.
Shinpachi: Anyways, aren’t you overdoing it for someone who is a caring grandparent?
Hashida: The same can be said about you and nosing into people’s affairs.
Hashida: There are things better left unknown in the world.
Hasegawa: Excuse me~~ I’m um… not involved at all so can I go?
Shinpachi: Kagura-chan

Gintoki: I’m telling you, I want to see the president.
Woman: Excuse me, but did you make an appo? (Appointment)
Gintoki: What’s an apo. Oh, could it be the northern fruit? The president fancies Aomori’s apples?
Woman: Not apples. Why the hell would we selectively use English for that?
Gintoki: What the heck. Going on about your apos and your Kobo-chan. I just want to see the manager.
Kanshichirou: Apoh
Gintoki: That’s right. Recently, you need to follow up everything with cumbersome paperwork. What a difficult era for Japan.
Gintoki: A~h! Just where is the future of Japan heading!!
Kanshichirou: Babu~!!
Woman: Excuse me; can you keep it down please?
Woman: Oh…?

Hasegawa: Ah~ I thought I was going to wet my…
Ofusa: Um… Who are you people?
Ofusa: Why did you save me…
Shinpachi: It’s you isn’t it?
Shinpachi: The one who left the baby in front of our shop.
Ofusa: Eh? Then you are…
Shinpachi: Don’t worry. The baby is in our custody.
Hasegawa (small writing): No way.
Hasegawa: (small writing) I’m already 38.
Hasegawa (small writing): Ah, it’s probably a stain from when I was tidying.
Hasegawa: If I take off the apron.

Page 11
Shinpachi: So you are the baby’s mother.
Shinpachi: Can you tell us what happened?
Shinpachi: At least you owe us that much.
Ofusa: I used to work for Hashidaya as a maid.
Ofusa: I was only 16 back then. My family was… poor. So I was looking for work.
Ofusa: …My task was to look after the master’s son, Kantarou-sama.
Ofusa: Kantarou-sama was sickly from a young age, and was always bedridden.
Kantarou: Oh, you must be the new maid.
Kantarou: Nice to…
Ofusa: Kyaaaaah!!
Ofusa: Somebody help!!
Ofusa: Somebodyyy!!
Kantarou: Um.
Kantarou: What look…
Sign: Joke
Ofusa: Kantarou-sama has dieeed!!
Kantarou: No wait, look at this…
Ofusa: Somebodyyy!!
Kantarou: Waaait!! This! Are you hearing me!?
Box: Kantarou-sama loved to bother the maids by playing pranks on them.
Box: But he was friendly and approachable to even a lowly one like me.
Box: I became attracted as I was caring for him.
Kantarou: Hey Ofusa.
Ofusa: What is it?
Kantarou: How much longer do I have to stay in bed?
Ofusa: There you go again. You’ve got a bad cough so you must stay inside.

Page 12
Kantarou: I probably will not live long.
Kantarou: Sure, I might live longer if I just lay here…
Ofusa: Kantarou-sama, it will sadden the master if you say things like that.
Ofusa: The master has hired numerous doctors just to try and heal Kantarou-sama.
Kantarou: What are you talking about. That old man just wants me to protect Hashidaya’s fortune.
Kantarou: Is it so important to live a long life or to keep the fortune…?
Ofusa: …Kantarou-sama. That sounds like the whining of a person who has everything.
Kantarou: Maybe you’re right.
Kantarou: Then I’ll trade it all away so I can…
Kantarou: become a cicada.
Ofusa: Cicada?
Ofusa: Kantarou-sama. If you become a cicada, you will only be able to enjoy this life for a week.
Kantarou: That’s fine.
Kantarou: Listen to their joyful calling.

Page 13
Box: Half a year later, Kantarou-sama and I snuck out from the mansion.
Box: I should have known better, but I wanted to be a source of strength for Kantarou-sama.
Box: From then on, we lived together.
Box: It was not an easy life, but we both worked hard and there were happy and sad moments. …It was a good time.
Hashida: Just when I thought I’ve finally found him, look at his dire state.
Hashida: If he remained with me, he would not have become so sick.
Hashida: Being tempted by such a filthy girl.
Hashida: Hey, how are you going to remedy this? It’s all your fault.
Hashida: Do you really think you’re a match for the heir of Hashidaya?
Hashida: Know your place, commoner.
Hashida: At any rate, I’m taking Kantarou home.

Page 14
Ofusa: Please wait master!!
Hashida: Shut up!!
Ofusa: Ah!!
Hashida: Can it be…
Hashida: You have Kantarou’s…
Hashida: Abort it.
Hashida: Hashidaya’s name will be tainted if rumors arise from this.
Box: After that, I was forbidden from seeing Kantarou-sama until the end. Until he passed away.
Box: Soon after, my baby was born.
Box: I decided I would raise Kanshichirou into a fine person in his place.

Page 15
Ofusa: Master!!
Box: Kantarou-sama was the master’s only heir.
Box: The master wanted to make Kanshichirou the new heir.
Box: I couldn’t bear losing Kanshichirou as well.
Box: I became desperate to protect him.
Box: But I could not elude the pursuers forever…
Ofusa: …I really have placed a burden on you all.
Ofusa: You’ve become involved now because of me.

Page 16
??: Despite your age, you’ve been through a lot, Ofusa-chan.
??: But that Kahei sounds like the lowest of the low.
Kagura (small writing): What is this place
Hashida: That woman is the one who is low.
Hashida: It’s because of her that my son died.
Hashida: Without her, my Hashidaya would have been stable.
Hashida: It would’ve passed to another generation.
Hashida: My life’s work would’ve been accomplished.
Hashida: But that poor and greedy woman has nullified my work.
Hashida: Do you know how hard it was for me to protect Hashidaya?
Hashida: I drank mud water, dyed my hands with sin, and rid of myself of a conscience just to protect it.
Hashida: Do you know what I went through?
Ofusa: It is those attributes that Kantarou-sama so despised.
Ofusa: Why do you attach yourself to the shop in this way? For money? For power?
Hashida: Young ones would not understand.
Hashida: A man spends his life forging an art piece.
Hashida: The piece may be his job.
Hashida: Or it may be his children.
Hashida: It varies depending on the person.

Page 17
Hashida: For me, that piece is Hashidaya.
Hashida: I want to build a flawless art piece.
Hashida: No matter how much the attempts taint me.

Gintoki: Hey~ Is this the president’s office?
Hashida: W-
Hashida: What!?
Gintoki: With this, you will meet me right?

Kana: All of a sudden, my sister became a model.
Kana: I was flustered…
Kana: At this rate the gap between our abilities will continue to grow.
Kana: Then, the hair stylist told me.
Stylist: This sort of hair might suit you.
Kana: Maria… Duel?
Kana: I was shocked
Kana: that songs so beautiful and substantial existed in this world…

Page 43
Kana: I found my place.
Kana: At first I was only mimicking her hair and makeup.
Kana: Eventually, I wanted to become an inhabitant of Maria’s world.
Kana: I remembered all the lyrics and incorporated that into my vocabulary.
Kana: I will live solely on those words.
Kana: So I thought
Kana: But.

Bubble: I was shocked to see the interview in the woman’s magazine.
Kana: Why?
Kana: Why do you say those things?
Paper: I’m not afraid of change. Even if it means betraying the “believers”.
Bubble: I don’t want to see.
Bubble: I don’t want to see Maria Duel talking about everyday banters.
Bubble: If only Maria would die…
Kana: !
Kana: I can be the one to die…

Page 45
Kana: I wasn’t serious…
Kana: So I chose a place where everybody could see.
Kana: If no one stopped me I would probably have died.
Akane: You’re an idiot, Kana.
Akane: I was so worried.
Kana: You wouldn’t understand.
Kana: Every time I looked at the mirror, I saw my sister!
Kana: That’s why I had to find it.
Kana: A way to express myself!!
Akane: I should be the one to say that!
Akane: I’ve always held a complex for Kana.
Kana: Eh.

Page 46
Akane: Since you were little, you were a good illustrator.
Akane: Not only that, you were clever, and our parents and the teachers were always fawning on you.
Akane: On top of that, you were great at singing, and you also won awards for your essays.
Akane: I thought I could never match you…
Akane: I was always envious of Kana.
Akane: I’ve always wanted to be good at expressing myself like Kana.

Sugiura: Hey you know that Maria-something-san.
Sugiura: Isn’t it better that she’s a regular person?
Sugiura: It feels like you can make something of yourself as well.
Akane: That’s right! You just have to express yourself.
Akane: Using Maria-san as an example.

Chiaki: Seems like Kana-chan is still a loner in the class.
Picasso: But she’s trying hard to forge a world that is “Kana”
Picasso: It’s still in tangles.
Picasso: I like how Mari-san is watching over her from the back.

Chiaki: Soon she might become the “Second coming of Maria Duel”.
Picasso: Yeah.

Janitor: The stalls are pretty bad too. It’s like where are you aiming your asshole?
Janitor: It’s them, isn’t it? It’s those samurais (rounin) the master has hired of late.
Janitor: Don’t they know how to use the washroom. Just because they are some sort of jyouishishi. (anti-foreigner patriots?)
Janitor: Who knows what the master is up to, associating with a bunch like that.
Janitor: From what I hear, it’s his grandson Kanshichirou-sama who was abducted? He must be up to something suspicious.
Janitor: No you’re wrong. That’s the works of that Ofusa.

Katsura: Ah. So you decided to hide over there instead.
Gintoki: There is no instead, there’s no way anyone will hide in there. Are you an idiot, you’re an idiot.
Katsura: I’m not an idiot. I’m Katsura.
Katsura: Gintoki. I’m guessing those are the Anti-Foreigner Faction.
Katsura: During the time of the sword ban, the ones who carried swords were either those of the shogunate or those who wanted revenge against the shogunate.
Katsura: Also, you said they dropped the name Hashidaya.
Gintoki: Yeah, do you know them?
Katsura: That’s the giant building over there.
Katsura: It’s an old store that opened at the beginning of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Katsura: It used to be a small wholesaler for dry goods. It continued to change with time and new ideas.
Katsura: Now it is a leading corporation even in Edo.

Page 13
Katsura: The founder is Hashida Kahei.
Katsura: At first glance he’s a kind senior, but he’s quite a rogue.
Katsura: Behind the scenes he’s acting as a patron to the Anti-Foreigner Faction.
Gintoki: Patron?
Katsura: What I mean is, he’s secretly funding the terrorism.
Katsura: But the merchant won’t do anything that has no benefit.
Katsura: In return, he’s clearly using the league for business purposes.
Gintoki: So he’s using them as bodyguards in his dirty work…
Katsura: In reality, many of his business foes have disappeared.
Katsura: He has gained powers beyond the reach of most merchants. The other face of Hashida Kahei is someone to be feared.
Gintoki: So why has his grandson come to me?
Katsura: Well, it must be that. You did chome chome with his daughter…
Gintoki: I’m telling you I didn’t! What? What is chome chome! You use outdated sayings that make no sense!
Katsura: Anyways, this indifferent look is just like you.
Katsura: Even though it’s a job for babies to cry.
Katsura: Abandoned your job, did you!! Ahahhahhah!
Gintoki: That’s how you treat a baby!?
Gintoki: It’s not funny. Not only was I mixed up in this debacle, if I had to deal with the crying 24/7 too, I’d really throw him into a lake.
Kanshichirou: Dapan
Gintoki: Yeah, that’s right. A real man only cries when his perm is ruined.
Gintoki: In that sense, you have potential. Compared to Shinpachi.
Katsura: Hey Gintoki. Look down.

Katsura: He’s a crybaby on his lower half.
Hasegawa: Hey wait, what do you mean grandson!?
Hasegawa: You can’t mean the boss’ grandson, Kanshichirou!?
Hasegawa: Gin-san was taken somewhere because the baby was abandoned in front of the freelance shop!?
Hasegawa: Hey hey, that’s bad. The boss is using his samurais in his crazed search.
Hasegawa: He’ll be killed. That old man is no regular merchant!
Hasegawa: The bad news on him never stops!
Hasegawa: And you idiots are checking up him! Go home! Come home with uncle! I’ll buy you some pickled seaweed!
Shinpachi: We definitely can’t go after hearing a story like that.
Shinpachi: It’s just as Otose-san said. There is something going on underneath.
Kagura: That’s right! Did you think I’m so loose as to be tempted pickled seaweed, asshole~!
Kagura: How many!? How many pickled seaweed were you going to offer? It can’t be 4, can it! If it’s 4 then,
Shinpachi: Kagura-chan, be quiet.

Hashida: Eh? You led my son to his death,
SFX: grip (gui)
Hashida: and not only that, you’ve kidnapped the grandson, you witch.
Woman: You’re the ones who abducted Kanshichirou.
Woman: He’s my son. I won’t give him to anyone.

Page 16
Hashida: What nerve.
Hashida: It’s already a shame that an heir of Hashidaya was born from a woman like you.
Hashida: Kanshichirou doesn’t need a mother.
Hashida: No. Hashidaya doesn’t need a dirty woman like you.
Hashida: I will raise him as a fitting heir for Hashidaya.
Hashida: He’ll be happier that way too.
Hashida: Do you really think a poor woman like you can make the child happy?
Shinpachi: …Hasegawa-san.

Kagura: What? Even if you say that you must be secretly happy to hear that.
Shinpachi: Stop! Don’t say that Kagura-chan!!
Hasegawa: We’ll just get going then…
Guy: Wait.
Guy: It stinks.
Guy: It stinks of ratty lying spies.

Yamagishi: Can I really?
Girl 2: Yeah

Page 9
Yamagishi: I-I feel kind of bad for her now.
Yamagishi: It doesn’t have to be someone this cute.
Yamagishi: If I made her swallow a snake suddenly, she’ll be angry for sure. (Who won’t be!?)
Girl 2: What is it.
Yamagishi: …Let’s not.
Girl 2: Why!?
Yamagishi: Well…
Yamagishi: It’s better to get to know each other first.
Girl 2: You don’t like me?
Yamagishi: No, that’s not it.

Girl with short hair: The man’s daughter had injured her feet.
Girl with sort hair: Because of that, she killed her self.
Girl with short hair: The man became crazy.
Girl with short hair: He dismembered the feet of girls who had the same shoe sizes, under the delusion that he could switch it with the feet of his daughter.
Girl with short hair: The red shoes belonged to his dead daughter.
Girl with glasses: Oh… I totally forgot about the time.
Girl with short hair: Let’s get going.

Manba: Yesterday, Picasso did that imitation of Dunk aniki.
Manba: Somehow I remembered that voice in a time of need.
Manba: Thanks Picasso.
Picasso: Don’t mention it.
Manba: It turns those photos from the SM magazine’s were by Ogura-san’s father…
Picasso: O-oh I see~
Manba: But I was surprised.
Manba: Can’t believe Picasso was a reader of SM magazines.
Picasso: Huh?

Chiaki: There was something different about Manba-kun’s expression.
Picasso: Once again I’ve gained a weird label~~
Picasso: Uuuugh
Chiaki: Hey, look.
Chiaki: It seems to be going well with those two.
Chiaki: Wonder how their date will go.
Chiaki: If only the aniki character will keep acting as Manba-kun’s crutch…
