Maybe a Fake Gintama

Chapter 362: Pay More Attention to Those Supporting Actors!

The foot of the mountain where Yagyu was located.

Shinpachi and Otae were slowly walking up the mountain side by side.

"Sister, it's Kawaki-san and Miss Tsukuyo!"

From a distance, Shinpachi saw Kawaki and Tsukuyo, who were also walking in the direction of Yagyu's house from another direction. He immediately raised his hand, waved, and shouted loudly, "Hey! Kawaki-sannn--- Miss Tsukuyoooo---!"

"Seeing Kawaki-san and Miss Tsukuyo, I suddenly feel a little relieved," Otae smiled and said, "I thought it would be unnatural if the birthday party was full of people I didn't know, but now it looks like it's all acquaintances. I'm a little relieved."

At this time, Kawaki also noticed Shinpachi and Otae on the other side. He raised his hand and greeted them casually, "Shinpachi, Otae."

Tsukuyo nodded slightly.

...

The four of them walked side by side towards the door of Yagyu's house.

"It turns out that Kawaki-san also received an invitation from Kyubei's birthday party." Shinpachi said with some emotion, "I thought that if it was Kawaki-san, he would definitely not participate in this kind of birthday party."

"Ah, I really don't want to come. After all, I just bought a lot of games and haven't opened them yet. I've been too busy recently." Kawaki crossed his arms and replied with some disdain. Then, he looked at Tsukuyo with disdain, "But because of a certain person, I had no choice but to participate in such a boring birthday party..."

Seeing that there was obviously still some blood on the back of Kawaki's head, the corners of Shinpachi's mouth twitched. He said expressionlessly, "This kind of thing is obvious at a glance..."

However, Shinpachi immediately smiled awkwardly and continued, "But we're already here. It's better to happily attend the birthday party. Sister order a cake for Kyubei."

"It's a little rude, but I still want to ask," Kawaki whispered into Shinpachi's ear, "Is it really "ordered"? Not made by her?"

"Don't worry, Kawaki-san." Shinpachi replied in a low voice, "It was ordered from the cake shop. I just went to get it with my sister."

"Then I am relieved." Only then did Kawaki heave a sigh of relief.

"There won't be any group poisoning incident."

"I'm also relieved," Shinpachi said with some joy, "Originally, my sister wanted to make a cake by herself. I persuaded her for a whole day before she gave up on this idea and went to the cake shop to order it."

"You did well this time, Shinpachi." Kawaki nodded and praised.

"Ara, what are you two talking about?" Otae narrowed her eyes and smiled at Kawaki and Shinpachi who were whispering to each other.

"Nothing, nothing." Kawaki quickly waved his hand and revealed an awkward smile, "Just a normal chat."

"Yes, sister. It's just a normal chat." Shinpachi also waved his hand and revealed an awkward smile.

"But I just heard the two of you say, "I looking forward to the cake that Otae personally made"." Otae raised a finger and narrowed her eyes, and said smiling, "But I may disappoint you this time. But it doesn't matter. I will try to make a cake when I go back today."

"Hey, Shinpachi, have I provoked your sister recently? Why does she treat me the way she treats your father's enemy?" Kawaki looked at Shinpachi and asked with a puzzled face.

"What did you say?" Otae said with a fake smile.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Shinpachi quickly explained, "Kawaki-san is just sighing with emotion, sighing that he can participate in the birthday party!"

"That's true," Otae covered her face and smiled, "Because it is set that the age will not increase, even if you want to hold a birthday party, you can't do it."

"Indeed, we were originally like Conan next door..." Kawaki nodded, crossed his arms over his chest, and rested his chin on his other hand as if he was thinking, "When I first received the invitation, I was taken aback. I didn't expect to receive an invitation to a birthday party at this time."

"So today, let's congratulate Kyu-chan together with Conan and Ai-chan~" Otae smiled and echoed.

"In fact, I don't think Conan is the most pitiful one." Kawaki shook his head, "The pitiful ones should be the other three elementary school students of the Detective Boys, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta!"

"Well, can you stop talking about Conan?" Shinpachi said with a blank face, "Even if Conan's theme is very popular, it won't be of any use to spread the heat like this?"

Ignoring Shinpachi's retort, Otae looked at Kawaki with a puzzled face and asked, "Why? Isn't Conan and Ai-chan also very pitiful?"

"No, the other three poor elementary school students should be!" Kawaki looked serious, "Think about it, you three elementary school students, who were normally able to enjoy the joy of growing up, suddenly met the protagonist, and they were dragged into this for twenty years. For twenty years, they were still elementary school students! Was this kind of encounter not tragic enough? If it was a normal elementary school student of the same age, they should be at the age where they could be a teacher, right? Their hairs are starting to thin out, right? They should have a beer belly, right?"

"Wait! Those last few words of yours don't matter at all!" Shinpachi retorted frantically, "Simply speaking, it is enough to be the age of a parent! Why does it have to be a teacher, bald and beer belly?! According to what you said, I don't feel how pitiful those three people are at all!"

"According to what you said, they are indeed very pitiful. They have been dragged down by a person for so many years." Otae nodded. Her face revealed a trace of reluctance, but then she revealed a determined look again, "We have decided! We will congratulate Kyu-chan together with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta!"

"En, for the sake of the three brats next door who were implicated! Let's work hard together!" Kawaki's expression also became serious.

Shinpachi roll his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Why did you end up with such a topic?"

However, just as he finished speaking, Shinpachi suddenly noticed the unnatural expression on Tsukuyo's face. He looked at Tsukuyo with some doubt, "That, Miss Tsukuyo? What's wrong?"

"Ah, nothing," Tsukuyo replied.

However, Shinpachi caught a trace of panic in Tsukuyo's eyes.

"Don't mind it, don't mind it." Kawaki patted Shinpachi on the shoulder and explained casually, "This person seems to be participating in a birthday party for the first time, so she is a little nervous."

"Huh?! Really?!" It was Shinpachi's turn to be shocked.

Tsukuyo was silent.

"I really can't imagine..." Shinpachi retorted silently.

"It's alright. If you don't know what to do, just come with me!" Kawaki snorted, "I have always been the most popular person in the class since I was a child. I will be invited to every classmate's birthday party. I am familiar with the process of all birthday parties!"

"Really?!" Shinpachi was shocked and said, "How could someone be invited to every classmate's birthday party?! Although it is true that Kawaki-san seems to be more attractive to girls, boys probably won't invite you, right?"

"Don't be silly, Shinpachi-kun," Kawaki snorted, "In order to attract the girl they like to participate in their birthday party, those little brats will always invite me, who can attract girls to participate in their own birthday party!"

"I always feel that the birthday parties that Kawaki-san participated in are a little strange..." Shinpachi held his forehead, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's like a social meetup... And I always feel a little pitiful. They have never invited Kawaki-san because they treat you as a friend but as a tool for social meetups..."

"Don't be silly," Kawaki chuckled disapprovingly, "The so-called birthday party is a social meetup between acquaintances. Even classmates who usually don't talk much may become good friends who talk about everything through a birthday party. On the other hand, it is also possible that a good friend who played well will gradually become estranged after the birthday party!"

"Indeed, this kind of thing is quite common when we are young." Shinpachi nodded and said, "Students who don't usually talk very much were driven by the atmosphere at the birthday party to open up the chatterbox, and then become good friends with the rest of the people. From this point of view, it is indeed a bit like a social meetup in a certain sense..."

"A social meetup" Tsukuyo caught the key point, and then instantly stopped and said, "Sorry, I forgot to bring lubricant. I will go back and get it."

"No need! Miss Tsukuyo! It is just a metaphor!" Shinpachi hurriedly stopped her, "No need! That kind of thing is useless!"

"It seems that we also have a classmate who rarely talks here, Shinpachi-kun." Kawaki glanced at Tsukuyo, his words pointing to something.

"Shut up, idiot." Tsukuyo lightly glanced at Kawaki and said indifferently.

"I don't care anyway," Kawaki shrugged, "But if you really need my help, I can also help you integrate into the birthday party."

Tsukuyo snorted and did not say anything. She started to walk forward again.

"Since you don't care, then forget it," Kawaki said indifferently. At the same time, he moved again and slowly advanced forward.

"But I still feel that it's a little pitiful. I never thought that there would really be someone who hasn't even participated in a friend's birthday party..." Shinpachi looked at Tsukuyo's figure in front of him and said as he walked.

"I think that it's normal for someone with that kind of personality to not be invited." Kawaki replied disapprovingly, "After all, her personality is too cold. Even if her face and figure are not bad, it will definitely make the birthday party cold!"

"It does look like that..." Shinpachi smiled awkwardly.

"But speaking of which, where are Gintoki and the others?" Kawaki suddenly thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Are they not invited?"
