Chapter 291: If You Are a Woman, You Must Learn to Refuse [Gentleness]!
"All you have to do is trust me," Gintoki replied with a snort.
...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Kuriko's working hours had just ended. At this time, Kuriko's convenience store staff uniform had changed into a pink kimono with white and yellow butterfly patterns. She stood in the same place and waited for Toshiro to arrive with a face full of expectation.
[Listen! The so-called ambition of a man is that it is better to be dumped than to dump others! Don't let her have any nostalgia for you; let her hate you completely!]
[The heart of a girl is like cotton candy-aru. It will disappear in just a moment!]
[That's why you just need to show her the annoying, dirty places of men!]
As Toshiro recalled the words of Gintoki and the others today, he walked toward Kuriko, who was not far away. As for Gintoki and the others, they hid not far from the two.
"Short for [Hijikata-san's Dirty Battle Plan]!" Shinpachi concluded in a low voice.
"In short, [Dirty]- aru!" Kagura continued.
...
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. Because today's purpose was to make Kuriko hate Toshiro, but whether it was to let Toshiro take Kuriko to a small cinema to watch a forbidden movie or to let Toshiro deliberately expose the fact that he was a crazy mayonnaise demon when eating or to deliberately pretend to be a spineless coward in front of the hooligans! All of it was accepted by Kuriko!
Moreover, she accepted it without any ill feelings! Kuriko now had a look of "If it really is Mayo 13-sama, I will accept and like it no matter what he do!" This made Yorozuya's group of three and Toshiro a little speechless.
...
It was dusk. Toshiro and Kuriko stood on a small hill in the park and looked at the sunset in the distance. After an afternoon of useless work, Toshiro was also a little tired.
"Mayo-sama, just now you did not hesitate to protect me with your life." Kuriko turned around and looked at Toshiro with eyes full of stars and admiration.
"Uh... that," Toshiro could only answer awkwardly, "It's just a conditioned reflex, almost..."
"You're actually shy... so cute~" The admiration in Kuriko's eyes became even stronger.
Hearing this, Toshiro really felt a sense of helplessness and exhaustion.
"Ah!" As if noticing that she had lost her composure, Kuriko quickly turned her face away and pinched her face, "How can I say such shameless words... I don't know if he will be disgusted with me by saying such words, ah~"
At this moment, Toshiro inadvertently glanced at Gintoki, who was waving at him behind him. Then, after glancing at Kuriko who was still struggling in place, Toshiro crept over.
...
"Hey, please spare me this kind of thing. I'd better run away." Toshiro crossed his arms and sat cross-legged on the ground as he spoke conflictedly.
"How can you run away, Hijikata-san?" Shinpachi advised.
"So, are you leaving a young girl with a scar that will never heal in a lifetime?" Gintoki slowly said, "If it is a man, it doesn't matter if he breaks off with a few of them. However, breaking a young girl's pure heart is not allowed. In the past, there was a man beside me who was just like you. He could not refuse a woman, so he left many women a scar that won't heal for a lifetime. It is not manly to run away without saying anything!"
At this time, Kawaki, who was standing at the top of a building, suddenly sneezed. Beside him, Sogo said, "Boss, did you catch a cold?"
Kawaki smiled and replied, "No, maybe it's just some brat who is fantasizing about me behind my back. Speaking of which, they seem to have reached the final stage. Should we go out now?"
Sogo, "Yes, boss. At the end of the day, let's give Hijikata-san a ride."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other again and revealed extremely refreshing smiles at the same time, making Kondo, who was watching from the side, feel scared.
"Affair... This person said something troublesome again... Speaking of which, who is the man you are talking about? Do you really have this kind of man by your side?" Shinpachi said with a look of disdain. Then, he looked at Kagura, squinting her eyes and looking speechless, "Kagura-chan, do you have any ideas?"
Kagura replied indifferently, "If you break up and leave, a woman will forget it after crying for three days-aru."
"This person is also speaking without mercy..." Shinpachi sighed softly.
"Damn it! Why do I have to get involved in such a troublesome matter?!" Toshiro complained in a soft voice.
"It's fine to run away, but do you have any awareness that you will never see the child in front of you again?" Gintoki looked at Toshiro with a face full of sincerity and asked aloud.
"Of course."
"Are you willing to do anything as long as you can run away?" Gintoki asked again.
"It depends on the specific situation. As long as you can do it, it's fine," Toshiro replied earnestly.
"Is it true?"
"Yes."
...
At this time, Kuriko had already found out that Toshiro was missing. She stood in place and looked around anxiously and wanted to shout [Mayo-sama~]
However, at this moment, Toshiro's voice came from behind Kuriko.
"There are some things that I hope you can listen to seriously."
"Mayo-sa..." Kuriko replied in surprise and was about to turn around, but she was stopped by Toshiro again.
"Don't look back!" Toshiro continued, "This is something I have yet to tell you so far..."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Kuriko asked.
"Actually... Actually, I am the Prince of the Mayonnaise Planet-mayo." Toshiro answered honestly.
"Prince... Prince..." Kuriko's eyes suddenly trembled.
"You can turn your head around and see-mayo."
Hearing this, Kuriko quickly turned around. Only then did she see Toshiro's current appearance clearly. She saw that Toshiro was wearing a huge mayonnaise bottle costume, revealing only his calves, arms, and face. There was also a golden crown at the top of the bottle.
Seeing Toshiro like this, Kuriko lowered her head and sighed softly.
Looking at Kuriko's appearance, Toshiro thought helplessly, 'It's useless. There's no way this is going to work....' Thinking of this, Toshiro closed his eyes...
But at this moment, Kuriko spoke, "Sure enough, I always feel that you are not an ordinary person. I have always felt this way."
'Success!' Toshiro was ecstatic, 'Mayo at the end of a sentence works!'
"I'll die if I stay on Earth too long-mayo," Toshiro said slowly, then turned to look at the sun that was about to sink into the ground. He sighed softly, "It seems I'm at my limit-mayo."
"Are we going back?" Kuriko also looked at the setting sun and asked with some reluctance.
"I'm going to be picked up shortly-mayo," Toshiro replied softly.
"That..." As if she had finally made up her mind, Kuriko turned around and said earnestly, "Take me with you! It doesn't matter even if I eat mayonnaise every day! I... please! Let me be with you!"
After saying that, Kuriko directly threw herself into the Prince's arms.
'It seems to be developing in an even more troublesome direction!' Toshiro thought to himself, 'Calm down! Toshiro! You should be able to handle it!'
Suddenly, a light flashed in Toshiro's mind. He gently placed his hand on Kuriko's shoulder and softly advised, "Don't be silly. The Mayonnaise Planet is in a remote area covered in a mayonnaise atmosphere-mayo. It is not a planet that you can survive on-mayo. It's best if you live on Earth-mayo. I'll always be watching over you-mayo..."
"Always?" Kuriko looked up and asked softly.
"Of course-mayo," Toshiro replied with a tender face. However, just as he finished speaking, Toshiro saw tears overflowing from the corners of Kuriko's eyes. However, before Toshiro could say anything, Kuriko stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Toshiro's cheek. Then, she turned around and ran away.
Kuriko stopped and stood a few steps away from Toshiro. She slightly shook her shoulders and then turned her head. Although her eyes were full of tears, she still tried to be brave. She said, "I won't cry even when we say goodbye."
At this moment, the sound of a cart came from the side.
"Prince, it's almost time-mayo." The person who was also wearing a mayonnaise bottle costume and pulling the cart in front lowered his head and shouted.
"We're here to pick you up-mayo." A man who was also dressed in the same clothes behind the cart said.
'Only two men? Where is that little girl?' Toshiro was puzzled, but it was only for a moment.
Then, Toshiro walked directly to the cart and sat on it. At the same time, he turned his head and waved to Kuriko, who was standing at the same place, and comforted with a smile, "Live a happy life-mayo."
"Mayo-sama! Goodbye!" Kuriko waved goodbye.
"Forward-mayo." The driver lowered his voice and took a step forward.
Kuriko watched as the cart went further and further away until it disappeared, like the sun gradually sinking into the ground.
...
"It should be enough, right? How far is it? You are not such hard-working people, right?" Toshiro, who was still sitting in the cart, asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, where are you bringing me?"
"Where?" The cart man behind him snorted and then raised his head.
The cart man at the front also turned his head and laughed sinisterly.
"Of course to send you back to Mayonnaise Planet!" Kawaki and Sogo said at the same time.
"It's the two of you!" Looking at the two sadists in front of him(Sogo and Kawaki), Toshiro exclaimed, "Where did they go?!"
"Don't worry. After paying some pocket money, they have handed over the follow-up matters to us." Kawaki smiled, "Mayonnaise Planet? I've never heard of it. Sogo-kun, have you heard of it?"
"It's fine, boss; it's all in the sky anyway," Sogo replied, "Wouldn't it be fine as long as we send Prince-sama to the sky?"
"That makes sense, Sogo-kun." With that, Kawaki tied Toshiro up.
At the same time, Sogo took out a giant rocket-shaped firework from the side and tied Toshiro to it, "Don't worry, Prince, you can definitely go back."
"Hey! You two..." Toshiro wanted to curse, but before he could finish, Sogo covered his mouth with a towel and could only let out a whimper.
"Come back to Earth next time, Prince-sama." Kawaki covered his face and sobbed, making a reluctant gesture to say goodbye.
"Goodbye, Prince-sama." Sogo said with a sigh and lit the fuse at the same time...
Then, under Kawaki and Sogo's gazes, Toshiro slowly rose into the sky...
Bang!!!
A huge firework exploded in the sky. The pattern was a huge bottle of mayonnaise...
At the same time, Toshiro shouted at them, "You two, just you wait!"
...
"Aren't we going too far?" Kawaki looked at Sogo and asked in confusion.
"Uncle Matsudaira acquiesced to this," Sogo replied.
"But how can I be sure that you are fighting for the injustice of your sister in your hometown?" Kawaki continued.
Sogo did not answer.
"Well, forget it. I'm already very happy today. I'm going back-mayo." After saying that, Kawaki waved his hand and turned to leave.
