Mahjong Soul Shrine [Ichihime & Kaguyahime] Yaaaaawn... [Miki Nikaidou] You all look exhausted. [Ichihime] You're telling me, nyaa... [Kaguyahime] We've been playing mahjong literally non-stop... [player] And I've been stuck there with them the whole time... It's been three days, three nights... [Miki Nikaidou] Three days and three nights?! [Wanjirou] This is insane, woof. [Ichihime] Because Gin and Mr. Takasugi wanted to keep going, nyaa... [Miki Nikaidou] So who won in the end? [Ichihime] I've... lost track, nyaa... [player] I'd say it was about 50/50 between Gin and Takasugi. But the next thing we knew, Takasugi was just... gone. [Kaguyahime] Otherwise, they'd probably still be playing right now. The way neither of them will back down... I have to admit, it's almost impressive. [player] So, what about that plan of yours to destroy the Mahjong Soul Shrine and build one for yourself? [Kaguyahime] Oh, about that. That Takasugi guy did attack some ruffians who were causing trouble.//nBut regardless, I detest violence. So we parted ways, and the Kiheitai disbanded. [Kaguyahime] Naturally, my distaste for violence wasn't the only reason. While playing mahjong these past few days, I've come to realize just how incredibly delightful it is to wipe the floor with Shorty. [Kaguyahime] Defeating Shorty first before taking the Mahjong Soul Shrine for myself... now that will be far more interesting! You'd better be ready, Shorty! [Ichihime] Don't get cocky, you bad rabbit! I won't let you get your hands on the Mahjong Soul Shrine, nyaa! [player] After all the twists and turns, the dust has finally settled, all thanks to you, Gin. [Gintoki Sakata] Don't mention it. It was no big deal. [Ichihime] Nyaa?! Gin?! [Kaguyahime] Didn't you already go back to your own world? [Gintoki Sakata] I was going to, but now I'm totally hooked on mahjong. Had to return for a few more rounds!//nThink I'll stick around a while longer. Hope it's not too much trouble for you guys! [player] By "trouble" you mean... * Where do you plan to stay? [player] Where do you plan to stay? [Gintoki Sakata] Here, of course. I'll be counting on you for my room and board! [player] Don't tell me you plan to freeload at the Mahjong Soul Shrine?! [Gintoki Sakata] Bingo! I'll be counting on you for my room and board! [Ichihime] But the bill has been paid, and the job is done, nyaa! [Gintoki Sakata] Oi oi, did you forget?//n"I'll cover all your expenses in One Han City." That was the agreement. I took on your commission, so you'd better honor the deal. [Ichihime] But that was only for the duration of the job, nyaa. [Gintoki Sakata] Oh, so that's how it is? And here I thought it was a lifetime deal.//nWell, misunderstandings happen all the time. How about we meet each other halfway and you cover my room and board for a week first? We can figure out the rest later. [player] Alright, but... [Ichihime] He's absolutely trying to freeload here forever, nyaa! [Kaguyahime] Hehehe, now that's a real tough nut to crack for you. [Ichihime] NOT funny at all, nyaa! [Kaguyahime] Speaking of which, what happened to that scoring stick you pulled out? A soul from your world resides in it, no? [Gintoki Sakata] Oh, so you noticed? [Kaguyahime] Of course. I'm a deity after all! [Gintoki Sakata] That scoring stick holds the soul of my friend. I'm not sure why, but it seems he was summoned to this world along with me. [Ichihime] Nyaa...?! So that's the other helper that Master summoned...! [player] Turns out he was summoned as a scoring stick. That explains why he was missing all this time. [Gintoki Sakata] Losing it would be really bad, so I've been keeping it right here... [Gintoki Sakata] ... [Gintoki Sakata] ...... [Gintoki Sakata] ......... [Miki Nikaidou] What happened? You're sweating bullets. [Wanjirou] Don't tell us you lost it, woof... [Gintoki Sakata] What? No! Th-th-that's... absolutely not possible! [player] But you did, didn't you?! [Ichihime] You're clearly panicking, nyaa! [Gintoki Sakata] C'mon, don't overreact. I'll find it for sure. [Ichihime] That attitude shift is too sudden, nyaa! [Gintoki Sakata] Enough about that. Let's have a few rounds of mahjong. That's what I came back for. [Miki Nikaidou] Why not? [Wanjirou] I'm joining in too, woof! [Kaguyahime] Hehehe, I shall join as well! [Gintoki Sakata] That's the spirit. [Miki Nikaidou] Follow me to the mahjong room. Right this way. [Wanjirou] Oh right, Gin, I heard something weird happened to a... certain part of your body. You doing alright now, woof? [Gintoki Sakata] Ah, I had some disgusting herbal tea that PLAYER's friend made, and it fixed me right up.//nMan, that freaked the hell out of me! [player] Now what...? We've got another freeloader. [Ichihime] Master, I have a brilliant idea, nyaa! Since things are already like this, why not just sit back and enjoy the chaos, nyaa! [player] Enjoy it? [Ichihime] Yes, and by that I mean playing mahjong, nyaa!//nWait, nyaa! Ichihime wants in too, nyaa! [player] Hold on, Ichihime! What sort of brilliant idea is that...?! [player] ...But then again, this might not be so bad after all. |
