Maybe a Fake Gintama - Chapter 111

– An Important Part of Our Family…“I understand. Is it the same as Kawaki getting drunk? It really looks like a super serious situation.” Gintoki nodded and said.

“I mean it! Can you stop using that kind of casual attitude!” Ane said angrily but then sighed, “But it’s hard to believe it was awakened without doing the ceremony.”
“Ceremony? What is that?” Gintoki asked.
“Give the crimson fruit and the blood of a mountain goat.” Mone explained again, “This way, the power of Kamiko will be released…”
(TL note: Kamiko means “God Child” and is probably Sadaharu’s real name.)
“Crimson fruit and the blood of a mountain goat?”
“Actually, goat’s milk is fine, it’s fine to replace it with cow’s milk too. As for the fruit… It seems that strawberries have been used, the kind of cheap goods that are about to go bad.” Ane continued to explain.
“Strawberry and… milk.” Gintoki lowered his head and murmured, “Strawberry milk! Sure enough, calcium is really amazing!”
“It has nothing to do with calcium, right?” Ane was a little mad, “But it should not be too late now. It hasn’t turned into the final form. Otherwise, the destructive power is not just for show!”
“Relax, even if Sadaharu turns into that final form, there is an even more terrifying creature beside it.” Gintoki picked his nose and said casually.
“When that happens, you will regret it!” Ane complained.
However, at this moment, a loud roar was heard. At the same time, the three of them felt the entire ground shake.
“Not good! The Jyushin has been unsealed! Hurry up and take us to Kamiko’s place!” Ane shouted.
At this time, Gintoki also vaguely felt that the matter was somewhat tricky and quickly ran up.
…
When Gintoki, Ane, and Mone arrived at the scene, the three of them were stunned.
Sadaharu, who had transformed into Jyushin, was playing with Kawaki. There were also countless women cheering on both sides, and the ones who shouted the most were Shinpachi and Kagura.
“Hey, didn’t you say it was dangerous? Where is it dangerous? Are you making a fuss over nothing? It’s just that his face has become a little fierce.” Gintoki looked at Ane and her sister with disdain.

“How could this be…” Ane muttered, “That child has never practiced in this area. Logically speaking, he should have lost his mind. And what about that man? He can actually fight against a Jyushin. No, this should be the end of it.”
Looking at the sweaty Kawaki, Ane continued, “The Jyushin is a Jyushin after all. No matter how persistent that man is, it’s useless. He will lose.”
“Sister, what are we here for? Are we here for you to explain the competition?” Mone retorted.
“Oh, there are still bets nearby. I’m going to make a bet.” Gintoki said as he walked to the gambling house that the Yoshiwara girls had opened on their own, “I bet on Sadaharu to win. How much is the stake?”
“Kawaki-sama’s stake is one to one. Sadaharu-chan’s stake is one to one hundred.” A Yoshiwara girl explained.
“This is a big deal!” Gintoki was ecstatic in his heart and then shouted to Ane, “Sadaharu really won’t lose, right?! Are you sure?!”
“Of course! Don’t underestimate an Inugami who has unlocked its seal!” Ane said and walked over, “I will also bet for Kamiko to win!”
“Sister, what are we doing here?!”
“Mone, this is the money picked up for nothing!” Ane replied, “One to one hundred! We will completely become rich people this time! We don’t need to work in the future! You can do whatever you want at home!”
“Hey, this is the receipt for the two of you. Please keep it.” The girl smiled and handed the two receipts.
After that, the two of them ran into a group of women and began to cheer for Sadaharu crazily.
“Hey! Sadaharu! Come on! I put all my wealth on you! You must win!” Gintoki shouted.
“Go! Kamiko! Let the human know how powerful your strength is!” Ane shouted.
Looking at the two people in high spirits, Mone sighed again softly.
“Have you… forgotten what we are really here for?”
“Let’s talk about that later! The most important thing now is to win the game! I bet all the money I earned from being a hostess bar priestess! After this one, I can say goodbye to that place! We sisters are rich people!”
“That’s right! That kind of thing doesn’t matter! I also bet all my money on Sadaharu!” Gintoki shouted at the same time.
…

“Hey, there seem to be more and more people,” Kawaki said while panting, “This time, I’m going to be serious, Sadaharu!”
“Roar!” Sadaharu replied.
Kawaki adjusted his breathing again and then began to exert strength. In an instant… the Jyushin Sadaharu was pushed out of the circle by Kawaki…
Gintoki / Ane, “………… Are you kidding me?! This is definitely a fake match!”
“Ah, my entire fortune…”
“All the money I saved for being a hostess…”
“Hey, Gintoki.” Kawaki wiped his sweat and walked toward Gintoki, “I didn’t expect you to come here too. But Sadaharu are really amazing. I knew that it was not his final form. I didn’t expect that when I just asked, “Can you evolve into something else?” It really became like that.”
Seeing that Gintoki did not speak for a long time, Kawaki was a little puzzled, “Hello? What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything? Could it be that you were scared by Sadaharu’s ultimate form? Don’t worry; his face has just become a little scary, and his personality hasn’t changed at all~ Who is the person next to you?”
“You should let the two of them be quiet for a while…” Mone couldn’t help but advise.

“You…” Kawaki looked at Mone dressed in Miko clothing and then looked at Ane, who was squatting on the ground with a look of despair on her face, “Gintoki, I don’t have a Miko-themed shop here. I won’t accept the two people you introduced.”
“Do you think we do that kind of business?!” Ane stood up and grabbed Kawaki by the collar, then shouted, “It’s all your fault! It made us two sisters poor!”
“It has nothing to do with this young master! You made the decision to bet on it!” Mone could not help but shout.
“Kawaki asked, “Did you just bet on Sadaharu winning? Didn’t you listen to what I said beforehand?”
“What did you say?”
“Didn’t I ask all of you to bet on me? I even said that I would pay for everyone’s loss if I lost. Why didn’t you listen to me?” Kawaki was a little speechless, “And it’s fine if you didn’t bet on me. Even Gintoki didn’t bet on me? It’s really disappointing~ It was originally meant to be welfare for everyone; you really are… Did you come here in the middle of the competition? Then there’s nothing I can do…”
“Hey, didn’t you say that Sadaharu was sure to win? What happened?” Gintoki stood up and said to Ane.
“It must be a fake match! It must be a fake match!” Ane said with a matter-of-fact expression.

“Don’t talk nonsense! Who’s playing a fake match! If you don’t believe me, you can ask Sadaharu!” Kawaki said and walked toward Sadaharu, “Sadaharu, this person said that the two of us are playing a fake match. Do you also think that we are playing a fake match?”
Looking at Kawaki, who had a face full of kindness, Sadaharu shook his head vigorously.
“Look, Sadaharu also thinks that we didn’t play a fake game.” Kawaki pointed at Sadaharu and said to Ane.
“It doesn’t dare to tell the truth at all! It must be shivering in fear because of you!” Gintoki retorted, “No matter! It’s not fair at all! refund!”
“That’s right! refund!” Ane also agreed.
“Give up on this idea! If you are willing to bet, you are willing to admit defeat. There is no way you can refund the money!” Kawaki decisively refused.
“Sister…” Mone quickly pulled Ane, who was arguing with Kawaki, “Kamiko didn’t play fake games, look at how tired he is…”
“Tired? How can it be…” Ane said disdainfully, but when she glanced at Sadaharu, who was so tired that he could not stand up, she was shocked to the point of being speechless.
“Kid, give me back my money! Do you have the heart to see your niece can’t even afford to eat” Gintoki tried to threaten Kawaki with Kagura, “That is all of our Yorozuya’s property!”
“Hey, Shinpachi, Kagura-chan, did you hear that?” Kawaki shouted to Kagura and Shinpachi, “This silver-haired naturally wavy hair has already bet all of Yorozuya’s funds.”
“What?!” × 2
The two of them shouted and rushed over simultaneously, then beat up Gintoki and cursed at the same time.
…
“So that’s how it is. Then are you the main culprit behind the abandonment of Sadaharu?”
Kawaki glanced at the Miko sisters in front of him and said.
It had been half an hour since the competition. At this time, the Yorozuya trio, Kawaki, Tsukuyo, Ane, and his sisters, sat together.
“Hey, little Komako, what are you shaking?” Mone glanced at the shivering little Komako and comforted him, “Do you feel a little cold?” (TL note: Komako is the name of the tiny Sadaharu.)
“No, that’s not the reason,” Shinpachi replied expressionlessly.

“In short, now that we’ve figured out the reason for Sadaharu’s growing, we absolutely can’t feed it with those strange things in the future,” Kawaki nodded and continued, “Then I’ll have to ask you to let Sadaharu return to his original state!”
“My money…” Ane was still unwilling to let go of the money she lost.
“It’s all your fault! You bet on it without permission! If you want to blame someone, blame yourself!” Mone retorted.
“What did you say?! Who do you think worked so hard and accompanied others to drink just to earn money!” Ane retorted.
“A Miko only needs to walk around and pray for blessings.”
“If I can get money as long as I pray, I would pray for a lifetime!” As she said that, Ane felt sad again, “That’s the money I earned from being a hostess for a long time! I was thinking of saving up enough money to travel! It’s all gone now!”
“Why did these two Miko make me so angry?” Shinpachi murmured and then turned on the crazy retorting mode, “Now that Sadaharu is exhausted, let’s hurry up and restore it to its original state!”
…
In the end, Sadaharu returned to his normal size with the help of the two Miko, but because he was exhausted, he fell asleep.
“Your sleeping posture is unexpectedly cute~” Kawaki smiled and said.
“That’s it! We’re leaving!” Ane was still unhappy.
“Wait a minute…” Gintoki called out to Ane, “That… the loss of our house…”
“I don’t care! We don’t have a single cent left!” Ane said angrily.
“Sister, this also has some of our faults,” Mone said.
Gintoki nodded, “Yes.”
“What the hell are you standing over there!” Ane was a little mad and then looked at Gintoki and finally breathed a sigh of relief, “I will find a way; there should be some money left, and why don’t you blame us for throwing Kamiko to you? And don’t let us take Kamiko away? Why?”
“Because…” With that, Gintoki looked at Shinpachi and Kagura, who surrounded Sadaharu, “Sadaharu is already an important part of our family…”
(Kamiko finished.)
