[TL notes: Title meaning- Loyal and honest advice is often unpleasant to the ear yet is beneficial for guiding one's behavior, while effective medicine tastes bitter yet is beneficial for curing one's illness.]
"This person really makes people angry..." Shinpachi said with a straight face.
"Don't worry because it's a little bit worrying that you two children need to take care of an adult. I was extremely prepared on the way here!" Kawaki patted his chest and said.
"Extremely prepared? What do you mean?" Shinpachi was puzzled.
"Humph..." Kawaki snorted twice and then took out a shopping bag with several green onions from his back, "Tadah! Folk remedies for colds!"
"Pfft!" Shinpachi yelled wildly, "Folk remedies?! Is that kind of random folk remedy really okay?! By the way, do you still believe in that kind of thing in this era?!"
"The supermarket clerk said that this is the most useful thing!" Kawaki nodded with his hands crossed and then handed the shopping bag to Shinpachi, "Alright, don't be polite; just use it."
"Buying things casually refers to..." Shinpachi looked at the green onion in his hand and pushed up his glasses expressionlessly. After a few seconds, he threw the shopping bag in his hand to the ground and shook his head desperately, "No, no! That scene is too terrible! Even Gin-san can't accept that kind of reckless treatment!"
Kawaki sighed, "This is what the so-called 'good medicine tastes bitter' refers to. Although the method may not be too elegant or even a bit rude, to get better quickly, we can only try it."
"You are right," Kagura, who had a green onion tied around her neck, cupped her hands and nodded, "You spoil Gin-chan too much, Shinpachi."
"Why are you the first to wear it!" Shinpachi shouted, but immediately after, Shinpachi suddenly reacted and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, "So Kawaki-san was referring to tying the green onion to his neck... If it was to that extent, Gin-san should be able to accept it. "
"Huh? Of course!" Kawaki said matter-of-factly. Then, he revealed a mocking expression, "Otherwise, what do you think it is?"
"I thought it was to insert a green onion into Gin-san's [over there]..." Shinpachi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What a good method!" Kawaki, who also had a green onion tied around his neck, cupped his hand and praised, "I didn't expect Shinpachi-kun to have a such deep research on folk remedies!"
"No, I am not..." Shinpachi was about to explain, but then he glanced at Kagura, who had already turned over the unconscious Gintoki. At this time, Gintoki was lying on the bed with his butt sticking out.
"Alright!" As she spoke, Kagura pulled off Gintoki's pajamas.
Her other hand was holding a long onion...
"Wait a minute!" Shinpachi quickly grabbed Kagura, "Don't mess around, Kagura-chan! It's too terrible! The readers will complain if they see it!"
"Good medicine tastes bitter, Shinpachi!" Kagura said with a serious face.
"That kind of word is not suitable for this place at all! That kind of folk remedy is not a good medicine at all!" Shinpachi firmly grabbed Kagura.
...
However, in the end, Kagura broke free from Shinpachi and inserted the green onion into Gintoki's certain part. Of course, to maintain the effect, Kagura also tied one to Gintoki's neck. However, it seemed a little tight, causing the unconscious Gintoki's face to turn green...
"This is enough. The rest will depend on this man's willpower." Kawaki cupped his hands and commented.
"Phew~ That's right~ I'm working hard-aru." Kagura wiped away the non-existent sweat on her face and said.
"I think even if it's okay, I will be tortured to death by the two of you..." Shinpachi muttered expressionlessly, then pointed to Gintoki on the ground and shouted, "Why did you let the readers see such a terrible scene at the beginning of the chapter?! It must be very distressing! The readers will also be very distressed!"
"That kind of thing doesn't matter," Kawaki shrugged and continued with an innocent face, "And I'm working very hard to restore Gintoki's health."
"It doesn't work at all! That kind of hard work!" Shinpachi shouted, "And how many times have you destroyed Yorozuya's entrances? Can't you just push the door in normally?!"
"You're talking about that, hahaha..." Kawaki rubbed the back of his head and laughed foolishly, "I'm really sorry about that, but in order to express my apology, I will take you to eat barbecue today. After eating, forget all these unpleasant things!"
"Really?!" The corners of Kagura's mouth were already drooling, and so was Shinpachi.
"Alright, let's go!" Kawaki was the first to turn around. Kagura and Shinpachi followed closely behind.
However, just after taking two steps, Shinpachi was the first to react, "Wait! What about Gin-san?! Although there won't be any commissions on this kind of rainy day, what should Gin-san do?"
"It's nothing. That man's life is very tough." Kawaki turned around, waved his hand, and said indifferently, "That kind of cold doesn't pose any threat to him. Moreover, isn't he sleeping soundly now?"
"You... you're right." Shinpachi laughed, "Then let's go."
After saying that, Shinpachi closed Gintoki's bedroom door. He completely did not notice Gintoki, who had been choked to the point that his face was green and foaming at the mouth by Kagura...
...
After walking out of Yorozuya's door, Shinpachi did not forget to install the door again.
"There's no need for that kind of thing," Kawaki said indifferently, "It doesn't matter whether this kind of door is installed or not, right? After all, there is nothing valuable in this house. Even thieves won't visit such a poor house."
"Although you say so, the most basic door is still necessary." Shinpachi turned his head and explained with a smile.
"Up to you." Kawaki shrugged and turned around again, "Are you ready?"
"'Ready!"' 2
"Alright! Let's go!" As he spoke, Kawaki walked directly toward the stairs to the side. Kagura and Shinpachi excitedly followed him.
However, just as he arrived at the stairs, Kawaki met a woman who had just stepped onto the stairs, holding two children in her arms while carrying another child on her back.
"Is it someone you know?" Kawaki turned around and asked Shinpachi and Kagura behind him.
The two of them looked at the woman and shook their heads at the same time.
"Maybe she's selling newspapers," Shinpachi said with some uncertainty. Then, he smiled at the woman and said, "Well, it was hard for you to run upstairs, but our house doesn't have so much money to buy newspapers."
"Newspaper?" the woman asked doubtfully, "Ah, no, I'm the client. Didn't I call yesterday?"
"Huh?" Shinpachi was a little confused, "I've never heard Gin-san say anything about it at all. He didn't say anything about having a commission today."
"All the best." Kawaki patted Shinpachi on the shoulder and said casually before stepping down the stairs.
Then, Kagura patted Shinpachi on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Shinpachi." Then, she followed Kawaki.
"Wait!" Shinpachi quickly shouted, "It's fine if it's Kawaki-san, but why are you like this, Kagura-chan?! Aren't we Yorozuya? Why do you push all the work to me!"
"Because, between this kind of insignificant commission and barbecue, only a mature person would choose to barbecue, right?" Kagura replied matter-of-factly, "Moreover, this kind of commission was accepted by Gin-chan himself, right? In that case, Gin-chan should be responsible for it alone."
"That's enough!" Shinpachi shouted, "In any case, you have to stay with me! Don't let me face this situation alone!"
"How much longer do you want to act like a spoiled child, Shinpachi?" Kagura frowned slightly and sighed, "Didn't Gin-chan say-aru? After [that place] became naturally wavy hair, men should learn to be responsible for their lives! Leave it to him; I believe Gin-chan can solve it!"
"He never said that kind of thing! And he is still in a coma, okay! How can he complete the employer's commission in that state?!" Shinpachi shouted with veins popping out, "All in all, you must stay in Yorozuya and complete the commission with me!"
"Your so annoying, Shinpachi," Kagura pouted and complained. Then she pointed at Kawaki, who had just walked down the stairs and stood at Snack Otose's entrance, "Why can little uncle eat barbecue alone?"
"Because Kawaki-san has nothing to do with our work!" Shinpachi replied, "But you are different!"
"It's just glasses that are in charge of retorting-aru, yet he's still so arrogant. Tsk," Kagura frowned and spat in disdain, "He's clearly just glasses that are in charge of retorting."
"This sentence is too much!" Shinpachi said in a hurry, "And why do you have to repeat it?"
"Wait, I didn't say anything from beginning to end, but from what you said, do you mean you don't want to accept the commission? You clearly agreed on the phone yesterday!" The woman interrupted angrily.
"Hey, Kagura, Shinpachi, are you still not done?" Kawaki, who was standing downstairs with an umbrella, raised his head and shouted at the two people, "Aren't you two too slow? If you don't go, I will go myself."
"I'll leave it to you, Shinpachi!" After saying that, Kagura turned around and was about to go downstairs.
"Wait for me!" Shinpachi quickly grabbed Kagura, and at the same time, he smiled at the woman, "No, we will do our best to complete your commission. Please come in and wait for a while."
"It seems that you won't be able to get out for a while. Then I will go alone." After saying that, Kawaki waved his hand and turned to leave.
However, just as he took a step, he was blasted by the furious Kagura with her umbrella.
Boom!!!
"Don't think of running away!"
"Kawaki-san!" Shinpachi looked at Kawaki, who had turned into an afro, and shouted...
