P1
Katsura: -So

Katsura: The government's recent moves...

?: Hey, did you see yesterday's 'Summer Sonata'?
(*Summer Sonata: Obvious reference of 'Winter Sonata', a korean drama aired in Japan that became extremely famous between the Japanese.)

Katsura: The government's

?: Really is amusing.

Katsura: recent

?: The main character's smile is just amazing.

?: Lend me the video next time.

Katsura: The

Katsura: re

Katsura: That's enough!!

Katsura: This is a place to set the world to rights!! It is not a sewing circle!!!

P2
Katsura: Anyway, what is this!? This 'Summer Sonata'.

?: I-I'm sorry. It's, um, this popular NH star TV drama...

Katsura: Being manipulated by foreign media! And you call yourselves a supporter!?

Katsura: Fine!! I'm going home!

?: Wait Katsura-san!!

?: We're sorry Katsura-san!!

?: Katsura-saaaaaaaaan!!

Katsura: Excuse me.

Katsura: Is the video of 'Summer Sonata' released already?

P3
Shop: There's the first two volumes

Katsura: I'd like to have it.

Shop: We're a rental shop, we don't sell.

Katsura: Rental? I don't really get it, but I'll leave it to you.

Katsura: I can't catch up on the recent topics.

Shop: Are you a member?

Katsura: I am Katsura not Member.

Shop: You can't rent a video unless you become a member.

Shop: If you'd like you can make one. Do you have some identification?

Shop: Like a student card.

Shop: Oh hey brother, don't you have something like a drivers license?

Katsura: A drivers license?

P4

Gintoki: Excuse me

Gintoki: Looks like I'm here again.

Teacher: It's not "Looks like I'm here again."

Teacher: Sakata-san, how many times do you have to come here until you're satisfied?

Teacher: What is it? What did you do this time?

Gintoki: Sorry, it's just that, you know, there was this ninja, and, like, I kind of ran it down a little, and, like, they, uh, took away my license.

Teacher: How can you run down a ninja who can run faster then a car? It's the chances of a meteorite crashing onto Earth.

Gintoki: It's the tribute of your teaching.

Teacher: I didn't teach you, why are you casually trying to make it my fault?

P5

Teacher: Remember I told you, no "probably" driving. "It'll probably be alright", "No one will probably bolt out into the road"

Teacher: You won't be able to respond fast enough with that kind of attitude. I told you to go with "might" driving!

Teacher: "A ninja might suddenly appear", "That ninja might make a right turn"

Teacher: With that kind of attitude, you'll be able to respond fast, right?

Teacher: Ok, so get into the passenger seat. What you lack is attentiveness, not technique.

Teacher: Watch someone else drive from the side and improve your attentiveness.

Teacher: Alright, today will be a joint lesson.

Katsura: Hello, I'm space captain Katsuura.

Katsura: It's a pleasure.

<Chapter 125: Go with "might" driving>

P6

SFX: CRASH!

Teacher: Sakata-san, didn't I tell you to go with "might" driving?

Teacher: "The joint lessons partner might be a space captain", you've gotta go with that kind of attitude.

Gintoki: Oh, sorry, I was just a bit surprised.

Teacher: Katsuura-san, get on quickly.

Teacher: Remember to check your surroundings before you get on.

Katsura: Yes, sir. A ninja might be clinging underneath the car.

Gintoki: The car might suddenly accelerate when checking.

Katsura: ACK

Katsura: A ninja might be playing hide-and-seek behind the car.

P7

Gintoki: The car might begin to back up.

Katsura: OOF

Katsura: That's enough!! I'm serious about getting a license!!

Teacher: Katsuura-san is here to get a license because he wants to become a member of a video rental shop.

Gintoki: What part is serious about that!? I'm here to get back my license seriously, too! Under no circumstances do I want to deal with him! Do something, teacher!

Teacher: Two people who are on bad terms

Teacher: might have to ride together.

Teacher: Right?

Teacher: It's "might" driving, you two.

Teacher: Prepare for all kinds of circumstances and try your best to drive tactfully, safely, and smoothly.

Teacher: Yes, that's good Katsuura-san. That's nifty handle work, for a first timer.

Teacher: But you're putting on a little too much speed.

Teacher: Slow down when approaching a curb.

P8

Gintoki: You're too tense. Don't lean on the handle so much.

Gintoki: Your visual range is just going to get restricted. Lean back a bit.

Katsura: I might... be tense right now.

Gintoki: What kind of "might" driving is that!? And that's not a "might", you're completely tense!

Gintoki: HEY! It's dangerous, slow down!

Teacher: Sakata-san, step on the breaks. The instruction cars have breaks in the passenger seat too.

SFX: bump

!!

Katsura: There might be...

Katsura: a bomb somewhere set by a terrorist to explode if you go slower then 50 kilo!

Gintoki: What kind of elaborate "might" driving is that!? And you're the terrorist!

P9

Gintoki: Hey teacher!! What are we gonna do!? This is why I said no way!

Gintoki: He's absurdly serious, that's why these things happen!

?: An S-curve!!

?: He doesn't care!!

Katsura: On the S part of the S-curve

Katsura: there might be

Matsuko: It's become such a lonely table.

Matsuko: ...I would have liked to show Natsuko-san in her wedding dress to mother, too.

Matsuko: She was very beautiful.

P10

Father: Whacha saying, stupid, daughter's ain't nothin'.

Father: No matter how much you cherish and raise them, they go to others. Absolutely heartless.

Matsura: Oh

Matsuko: Don't you have a daughter right here,

Matsuko: Father?

Father: ...Matsuko-san,

Father: It's not too late, why don't you look for someone?

Father: Even though you're my sons wife, now my son is dead and gone.

Father: You have no obligations to take care of a geezer like me, when we aren't connected by blood.

Father: You've got a good nature and look. There'll be a lot of good partners for you out there.

Father: There's no need to concern yourself with me. I can manage by myself.

Matsuko: ...No one would want an old lady like me.

Matsuko: Father, do you want to get rid of me that much?

P11

Father: Er... No, that's not it,

Matsuko: Fufu... If I get any offer, I'll leave this old house as soon as possible.

<Despite her wry comments, the woman wouldn't leave.>

<Everyday she would take care of me, chiding me.>

Man: Why don't you give it up already?

Father: ?

Man: Are you saying that you still have regrets over your dead husband?

Man: It's 7 years already, shouldn't you walk your own life now?

Man: You can take a new step forward with me already.

Matsuko: ...I am always walking my own life.

Matsuko: I'm not living in this house because of a stupid thing like regret.

Man: Then why, are you saying that there's... someone else?

P12

Matsuko: For me

Matsuko: There is father.

Matsuko: We aren't connected by blood

Matsuko: But he is my father...

<- that kind of>

<family of moles under the the ground of the S-curve>

Katsura: living there...

Gintoki: Of course not!!! And that was unnecessarily long!!

P13

Gintoki: It's not "might" driving or anything else anymore!! It's just some kind of delusion!!

Teacher: Good job on stopping it Sakata-san. Come to a halt before a crossing.

Gintoki: Why are you crying?

Teacher: Ok, open the window.

Gintoki: Er, there's no window anymore.

Teacher: It's "might" driving here too.

Teacher: "A train might come", "The crossing might come down". Please check yourself with your ears.

Teacher: Although since this is a lesson, no trains will come. There are no railroads either.

Teacher: Just follow the formalities right now.

!!

Katsura: No, wait!!

P14

Katsura: ...hear.

Katsura: I can hear.

Katsura: I can hear the sound of the train coming!!

Gintoki: No, we can't.

Katsura: No, I can!! And the sound of the crossing coming down!!

Katsura: I hear it clearly!!

Gintoki: Hey, this is bad, someone call the doctor!!

Katsura: No...

Katsura: That's...

Katsura: Fatheeeeeeeeer!!

P15

Father: If I wasn't here

Father: Matsuko would be happy...

<It might not be>

<too late yet>

P16

Gintoki: ..............

Katsura: You idiot!!

Katsura: What do you think you're doing!! You were about to die!!

Katsura: What's going to happen if you die!? Are you saying that's what Matsuko wishes for!?

Gintoki: ..............

Katsura: Matsuko will never be happy with me. (Katsura Falsetto)

Katsura: ...It's better off with me gone. (Katsura Falsetto)

Katsura: If I wasn't here, Matsuko would be free of the bond called me. (Katsura Falsetto)

P17

Katsura: That isn't true, father. (Katsura Falsetto B)

Katsura: You are Ma... (Katsura Falsetto)

Teacher: ...Sakata-san.

Gintoki: Yes?

Teacher: It might be good not to do might driving anymore.

Gintoki: That might be right.

P18

Katsura: -So, about the government's recent intents... we'll discuss later.

Katsura: The other day I happened to come across the chance to watch a TV drama called "Summer Sonata"...

?: Hey, did you see yesterday's "Jang Gamu's Embarassment"?
(*Jang Gamu's Embarassment: Obvious reference of 'The Great Jang Geum', a korean drama aired in Japan that became extremely famous between the Japanese. In Japanese, the title was "Janga Geum no Chikai" (=translation "Jang Geum's Oath") and the above title in Japanese is "Jang Gamu no Chitai".)

Katsura: The Summer

?: Really is amusing.

Katsura: TV

?: The main character's just so heroic, makes you want to cry.

?: Lend me the video next time.

Katsura: The Summer

Katsura: te

Katsura: That's enough!!

Katsura: Listen to me dammit!! When I've finally managed to borrow the video, isn't that nonsense!?

P19
?: Katsura-san, "NatsuSona" is already old. Right now "Jang Gamu's Embarassment" is popular.

Katsura: Jumping on any new things, I've had enough! I'll never watch a TV drama again!! I'm going home!

?: Katsura-san!! Wait, Katsura-san!!

Katsura: Excuse me

Katsura: Do you have "Jang Gamu's Nude"?
(*In Japanese, "Jang Gamu's Nude" is said as "Jang Gamu no Ratai". This is a simple mistake of Zura, thinking "ratai" instead of "chitai" which is supposedly the real name of the drama in the Gintama world.)

Shop: It's embarassment. And yes, we do have it. Uuum do you have a members card?

Katsura: No

Shop: Then do you have something for identification...

Katsura: Use this please, then.
