[ The scene shifts, and Otose is already in the hospital in critical condition. Gintoki seems to have lost his will, sitting alone by Otose's side at night. ]
[ Then, he learns from the three-seven split guy that Otose's husband, Tatsugoro, and Jirochou were a constable and a yakuza, respectively, and also good friends! Unfortunately, they both fell in love with the same woman. ]
[ And Jirochou withdrew, hoping Otose would be happy, but Tatsugoro died blocking a bullet for Jirochou in the war, leaving Otose alone. ]
[ After learning about everything that happened, Gintoki also prepared to bear the burden alone, while Otose, lying in the intensive care bed, seemed to have heard the conversation just now, "By the way, when an old person is about to die, you have to stay with them until the very end. Gintoki, I don't want to see you die." ]
[ Seeing the landlady awake, Gintoki's eyes softened, and he said a sentence to the landlady before turning to leave, "Landlady, I will definitely pay the rent I owe. So, just wait patiently." ]
[ .....]

"Time is truly a butcher's knife. Who would have thought that the young and beautiful Otose would look like this when she got old?"
"Since Jirochou liked Otose when he was young, and Tatsugoro died blocking a bullet for Jirochou, then... why did they cut Landlady Otose?!"
Everyone didn't expect that Gintoki, who had just lost his will, would immediately regain his spirit just by seeing the landlady wake up, and his brows instantly lit up.
~Gintama World~
"This is a lie... Forget about the rent, Gin-san, is impossible to pay it."
Shinpachi muttered silently, but his heart was still relieved, as long as Landlady Otose was fine.
Otose reached out her hand towards Gintoki,
"Give me the rent! The doctor said I'm old and probably won't last..."
Gintoki's face couldn't hold back, and he directly retorted,
"Hey! Why do you look like you're dying the moment I mention rent... You were clearly full of life just now."
"Also, looking at the future, aren't you living well until then? How can you not be able to now, hey!"
And Gin-san! It's not that I don't pay rent, I just always keep it within a three-month delay. Why don't you believe Gin-san? He has always been paying rent, alright!
"Tsk!"
Landlady Otose turned her head and clicked her tongue.
.....
[ Gintoki returned to Otose's tavern, picked up the relics of Landlady Otose's husband, a jūtte and a sword, planning to bear the burden alone. ]
[ Shinpachi directly punched Gintoki, who was walking away alone, and angrily said, "Is this still Sakata Gintoki?" ]
[ "No matter how many important things are missed, you will never escape responsibility. Wasn't that the oath you made to her husband?" ]
[ "Since you decided to protect, you must protect to the end. That's Sakata Gintoki! Such a small thing can't kill Landlady Otose!" ]
[ "We won't die, and you won't die either. That's because you protect us, and that's because we will definitely protect you!" ]
[ Tama took out a handkerchief and wiped the injuries on Gintoki's face. "We haven't lost anything yet, so don't lose your heart. Let's protect it together! Landlady Otose's... our place." ]
[ The awakened Gintoki once again made a promise to Tatsugoro's portrait, "I promise you again, what you cherish. We will definitely protect it well." ]
[ .....]
~Gintama Worlds~
"It seems like Shinpachi has finally become a reliable samurai!"
Otae smiled slightly as she looked at the reliable Shinpachi on the screen.
Since they have decided to protect something, they should protect it to the end.
"Gintoki... since something like this happened, why didn't you ask me for help?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Katsura's mind. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was Gintoki!
Then he sighed helplessly,
"Even after ten years, you haven't changed! You want to bear everything alone."
But this time is different; you are finally not bearing everything alone, you have found a place for your weary heart to rest.
.....
[ The next day, Doromizu Pirako had already brought her army of transvestites to Otose's tavern, surrounding the small tavern. Doromizu Pirako held a wooden hammer and began to mobilize, "Let's make it lively to mourn Otose!!" ]
[ A subordinate on the side quickly said, "Wait, young lady! The noren is hung on the door!" ]
[ Agomi of the transvestite army was extremely surprised, her face full of disbelief, "Wha... what's going on? It was hung up early in the morning, this is too diligent!!" ]
[ A subordinate who wasn't afraid of death pushed open the door of Otose's tavern and was extremely surprised to see the figure drinking milk inside, "You... who are you?!" ]
[ "Sorry, someone has booked the place today! I just want to drink alone. I don't want to be disturbed!" Gintoki poured himself a glass of milk and ordered them not to take a single step inside. ]
[ As soon as the subordinates took a step inside, Gintoki just put down his cup, and all the subordinates were knocked out and flew backward, crashing through the door. Until the smoke cleared, Gintoki's figure, drinking milk, appeared, and after casually threw away the strawberry milk carton in his hand. ]
[ Gintoki wiped the corner of his mouth, held the relic jūtte, and pointed at everyone, "Your filthy pig feet are not allowed to take a single step into the store." ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Hahaha, what a 'too diligent', it's really hilarious! This big... uh, the transvestite brother's focus is surprisingly unique, that's not the point, right!"
"Gintoki, although you're very cool, why are you drinking strawberry milk?! And in a tavern, and it's calcium-fortified... How should I say?! Are you going to supplement calcium before a fight?"
People from other worlds thought this scene was indeed somewhat cool, but... this strawberry milk was really too out of place. Normally, shouldn't they be drinking alcohol, which would give them more of a yakuza vibe?
And they hadn't even demolished it yet, but you already demolished the door. Don't forget you haven't paid the rent yet. Be careful, Landlady Otose adds the bill to the rent.
~Gintama World~
"Speaking of which, for such a large-scale street fight, didn't our Shinsengumi show up?"
Hijikata Toushiro felt the situation becoming increasingly serious, but where did their Shinsengumi go?! Could it be that they went on vacation?
Kondo Isao was a little worried,
"Perhaps it's because we are a special unit targeting only the Old Jouishishi, and we can't handle this... I just hope no one dies."
Strictly speaking, their Shinsengumi is essentially the Shogun's force, and it's unlikely they would get involved in this kind of gang fight.
.....
[ "We, the Otose family, will uphold the path of righteousness here. Let's go!!" Gintoki was like a man in no man's land, taking care of most of the yakuza subordinates in a few moves. ]
[ Tama directly switched to cleaning mode, rotating the mop and swinging it down fiercely, causing an explosion. Kagura directly pulled up a telephone pole and smashed it down hard. Shinpachi also sent a straight thrust, knocking away the subordinate who was trying to ambush Kagura! ]
[ Doromizu Pirako looked at the few people in front, "If you keep dawdling, look! Otose's store will be burned to ashes!" ]
[ It turned out that at some point, someone had been sent to set the roof of the Yorozuya family's house on fire... Kagura quickly ran away, wanting to put out the fire. ]
[ Doromizu Pirako still looked at them with a smile, "Is that okay? You're already short on fighting power, and you're splitting up to put out the fire." ]
[ "Big brother, you are already isolated and helpless. You are on your own." ]
[ Doromizu Pirako was stunned after saying that. A water cannon sprayed from somewhere, extinguishing the fire of the Yorozuya. ]
[ Firefighter Tatsumi appeared on the roof holding a water pipe, "Isolated and helpless, on your own?! Not at all, at least there's someone here who has a connection with them... Right, Gin-san!" ]
[ The subordinates directly threw axes over, "Who are you? Do you want to get in the way?" ]
[ "Bang!" With a crisp sound, the axe was hit by a hammer in mid-air and shattered. ]
[ "Such weak iron! You can't hurt these people with weapons like this. Do you need me to forge you a new set?" Tetsuko carried a large hammer and also came to this lawless street. ]
[ Even the tough constable Kozenigata Heiji, with his own background music, came here. ]
[ "What is that strange group?" With a subordinate's exclamation, everyone looked up. ]
[ "If you look closely, there's something strange inside." ]
[ Gengai was leading his robot army step by step, and MADAO, wearing a cardboard box, pretending to be a robot, was mixed in, "If that store is torn down, I'll be in trouble. There'll be no place to get free drinks." ]
[ Shinpachi listened with a poker face, "I'll put it on your tab." ]
[ "Yorozuya, you are not alone. In your past life, you have built friendships with the people here." Kyoshiro also brought his host club and rushed over, "To make hosts so captivated, you are truly sinful." ]
[ Otae carried a naginata and brought many hostesses, also appearing on this lawless street, her expression becoming fierce, "You actually want to bear the fate of Kabukicho alone, that's too distant. This city doesn't belong to anyone. It belongs to us... the hostesses, right?" ]
[ As soon as she said this, Shinpachi and Gintoki, who were just showing off, had their faces turn dark. ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Tsk tsk tsk... How strong is this network of connections? How much goodwill has the Yorozuya family accumulated over the years?"
"Rather than being isolated and helpless, it's more like Gintoki never thought of asking for help. These people seem to have come to help the Yorozuya family on their own!"
However... why are the people who appear one after another getting stranger and stranger?! Does that cardboard box uncle really think he can pretend to be a robot by wearing a cardboard box?!
And never mind the hosts, why did the hostesses also come to join in the fun, and compared to them... You guys look more like villains, hey! No... is your position a little strange?! Are you here to directly seize the territory?
It was a tense moment, but for some reason, the more they watched, the more they wanted to laugh. Everyone's entrance music was different, which was really out of place!
~Gintama World~
"Gin-san is really too distant. Such a big thing happened, and he didn't ask us, Yoshiwara, for help!"
Hinowa frowned slightly, seemingly a little displeased that Yoshiwara didn't appear in it.
After all, Gintoki helped them so much, and they haven't repaid him. Now that something so big has happened to them! It's really too much to bear that no one from Yoshiwara came to support them.
"Hmm, I've also disliked that Doromizu Pirako for a long time."
Tsukuyo nodded slightly, then took a puff from her pipe. She also agreed with Hinowa's words. If she knew they were in trouble, she would definitely bring her Hyakka with her.
On the other side, Kondo Isao, inside the Shinsengumi headquarters, was already twisting and turning when he saw Otae, "Otae-san!! So cool."
