Chapter 277: Do You Still Remember the Lies Your Parents Told You When You Were Young? For Example...
"Only you like that kind of thing." Kawaki narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gintoki with disdain. But in the end, he sighed, "Forget it; it's up to you guys. I don't have the mood to make a fuss with you guys today."
"Yeh!" Kagura immediately cheered, then raised her hand and shouted to the waitress not far away, "Add another ten portions-aru!"
"Hold back a little for me..." Kawaki held his forehead and muttered.
"Then I..." Just as Gintoki was about to raise his hand, he was stopped by Kawaki.
"You don't have to!"
...
After the meal. Looking at the four people, including Tamaru, who was burping, Kawaki suddenly felt a burst of irritation.
"Hey, smelly brat, you are also full? Can you go home now?" Kawaki glanced at Tamaru and said impatiently.
"Oh!" Tamaru responded but still sat in his seat and did not move.
A few seconds later, Kawaki could not help but remind him again, "Did you hear what I said just now? Or is your comprehension ability not enough to understand my words?"
"Hee hee." Tamaru just laughed, "I know. After eating, I should go home."
Kawaki took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his heart. He smiled and said again, "So why are you still sitting here?"
"I don't know the way back." Tamaru explained, "Do you know? Strange uncle."
"How would I know! Who is a strange uncle?! I am only at the age of a big brother! This silver-haired naturally wavy hair is the strange uncle!" Kawaki said anxiously.
"Hey, wait a minute. Who are you calling a strange uncle?" Gintoki said as he placed his hand on Kawaki's shoulder, "I'm only at the age of a big brother."
"No, your entire body is giving off the smell of a good-for-nothing uncle." Kawaki slapped Gintoki's hand away and replied, "No matter who it is, they are all looking at a strange, good-for-nothing uncle."
"Yes." Kagura and Shinpachi nodded at the same time.
"Kagura, Shinpachi, I will deduct your salary when we go back," Gintoki said expressionlessly.
"Ah, I want to go to the toilet!" Tamaru suddenly said this. Then he got up from his seat and quickly ran to the toilet.
"Hey, wait..." Before Kawaki could finish, Tamaru had already rushed into the toilet, "It really is a little brat who will cause trouble for others."
"By the way, who is this child? Is he Kawaki-san's acquaintance?" Shinpachi asked curiously.
"No," Kawaki waved his hand, "I don't even know him."
Seeing Kagura and Shinpachi's puzzled eyes and Gintoki's teasing look, Kawaki could only sigh and explain everything that had happened today to everyone.
"So that's how it is." Shinpachi sighed slightly and then showed some sympathy on his face, "It's not easy to have such an irresponsible mother. She actually abandoned her child to play pachinko. It's no different from a good-for-nothing silver-haired naturally wavy hair that lost all the task entrustment money into pachinko."
"Hey, isn't the example you mentioned a little too specific?" Gintoki replied expressionlessly, "Shinpachi, I won't give your salary this month."
"That's right, that's how it turned out," Ignoring Gintoki's words, Kawaki shrugged and continued, "I originally wanted to hand it over to the police, but... Sigh, after all, he's just a little brat. I just wanted to treat him to a meal, and he would obediently go back."
"So that's how it is..." Shinpachi nodded and muttered.
"So, I'll leave this little brat to you." Kawaki waved his hand and said casually. At the same time, he stood up and turned to leave.
"Leave it to us!" Shinpachi replied confidently.
"Hey, wait for me!" Gintoki was the first to react. He stood up and placed his hand on Kawaki's shoulder, "Why did it become our business in the end? Tell me clearly, you bastard."
"Didn't I already invite you to dinner?" Kawaki turned his head and spread out his hands to explain, "That is the reward, understand?"
"'Understand my ass'!" Gintoki shouted, "How can there be such a casual reward? Give me cash, bastard!"
"Aiya, I wanted to treat you to another cup of parfait as a reward." Kawaki shrugged and said indifferently, "If that's the case, then forget it."
"No, it's Yorozuya's responsibility to send a lost child home." Gintoki's attitude instantly changed, and then he shouted at the waitress not far away again, "Another cup of chocolate parfait, please!"
"So fast! Your attitude changed so quickly!" Shinpachi pushed up his glasses and said in shock, "Even though he still had a tough attitude just now, a cup of parfait instantly changed it! Gin-san, can your moral integrity be any lower?"
"The so-called man is like this, Shinpachi." Kagura crossed her arms and snorted, "Just a little bit of temptation, and you will fall into it, but women won't be-aru! If it were me, just three or four pieces of vinegar kelp would not be able to bribe me! At least five pieces or more-aru!"
"You are no different from Gin-san!" Shinpachi shouted, then looked at Kawaki, smiled, and continued, "Kawaki-san also invited us to eat, so even if there is no reward, we will help."
"Shinpachi is still the most sensible." Kawaki nodded and praised. Then he turned around and said, "Then I'll leave it to you guys."
However, just as Kawaki was about to leave, Tamaru rushed to Kawaki with an excited face and said, "Are you going back?"
"Ah, these people will take you home." Kawaki pointed at the Yorozuya trio on the table.
Seeing Gintoki, who was currently eating parfait, Tamaru pulled the corner of Kawaki's clothes with a frightened face and hid behind Kawaki.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Kawaki asked expressionlessly, "Didn't I say they would send you home? Why do you have such an attitude?"
"Well, children are afraid of strangers." Shinpachi looked at Tamaru with an amiable smile on his face, "Don't worry. We are Yorozuya. We will definitely send you home safely."
"No!" Tamaru tugged at the corner of Kawaki's shirt, his face full of reluctance.
"That's enough, little brat," Kawaki couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Didn't your mother teach you not to be so willful? If this goes on, I will really send you to the police station. There is a super perverted mayonnaise officer there."
"I don't want; I don't want!" Tamaru shook his head and said again. Then, he looked at Gintoki and Shinpachi and said in a low voice, "Because those two people don't look like good people..."
"That's enough, you stinking brat!" Gintoki and Shinpachi shouted at the same time.
...
On Edo street, Kawaki and the Yorozuya trio were leading Tamaru to a pachinko parlor one by one, looking for Tamaru's mother. As for why they did not send Tamaru home... Because Tamaru himself could not tell where his home was.
In this way, although everyone was a little annoyed, they could only look for it one by one...
In the evening, Kawaki, Gintoki, and the others searched the entire pachinko parlors, but in the end, they still could not find Tamaru's mother.
"Really," Gintoki crossed his arms and sat on the long chair by the side of the road. He muttered disdainfully, "Not only the son, but even the mother is so willful. I'm so exhausted. We haven't found her after searching for so long."
"Do you have the right to say this?" Kawaki said expressionlessly, "Who on earth has been playing pachinko for the whole afternoon? We are the ones who suffer, okay."
"But now we can only call the police, right?" Gintoki dug his nose and said casually, "We have been looking for this child's mother for so long, but we still can't find his mother."
"That's right... In this kind of situation, there is only..." Kawaki nodded and said, but before he finished speaking, he saw Tamaru, who was at the side, showing an expression of being wronged and about to cry.
"Sigh..." Kawaki and the Yorozuya trio lowered their heads at the same time and sighed helplessly.
"Anyway, it's already night. Although I don't want to, I still have to eat. Let's eat together." Kawaki sighed helplessly.
"Yeah! I want to eat barbecue-aru!" Kagura cheered.
"Don't even think about it. I don't have that much money," Kawaki waved his hand and pointed at a small trolley not far away, "It's better to have simple and cheap ramen."
As he spoke, Kawaki took the lead and walked over. The rest of the people could only follow him...
"Welcome..." The proprietress, who was busy, turned her head and said with a smile. However, when she saw Tamaru behind Kawaki, the smile on her face froze slightly.
"You are..." Kawaki looked at the proprietress' face in shock. Just as he was about to say something, Tamaru, who was at the side, called her mother and threw himself into the proprietress' arms.
"Mom?" Shinpachi asked, "Didn't you say that this child's mother went to play pachinko? Why is she here?"
"God knows." Kawaki curled his lips in disdain and then sat down, "But I'm hungry. Please give me a bowl of ramen."
"A bowl of ramen with all the toppings," Gintoki said casually as he sat down.
"No! You can just eat ordinary food without seasoning!" Kawaki shouted.
"I'm tired after running for a day..." Gintoki said weakly.
"I can't tell at all! Is it so tiring to play pachinko?!" Kawaki retorted crazily.
"Of course! That's a job that requires a lot of brain power!" Gintoki replied seriously.
"Then you are the only one who can say such shameless words!"
...
After eating the ramen, Kawaki turned to look at Tamaru, who was playing with Kagura on the vacant ground.
At this time, Shinpachi finally could not help but ask, "That... ma'am, why did you lie to Tamaru-kun?"
"Just call me Keiko," The proprietress said with a smile. Then, she bowed slightly to the crowd and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you for sending Tamaru here. I thought he would go home by himself. I didn't expect him to come here..."
"Go home? But Tamaru-kun said that he can't remember where home is." Shinpachi was puzzled.
