**[01:37] Urara**
What's with this pose!
**[01:40] Urara**
But he's pretty cute.
**[01:42] Urara**
And he's about your age,
Sis. That's terrific.
**[01:47] Sister**
Urara... I have to apologize to you.
**[01:54] Sister**
A-Actually, when I sent that letter,
I put your picture inside the bottle.
**[02:00] Urara**
What? My picture? Why?
**[02:03] Sister**
Because you're so cute.
**[02:06] Sister**
I thought if anyone saw your
picture, they'd be sure to reply.
**[02:12] Sister**
I'm so sorry!
**[02:14] Urara**
Why'd you do such a thing? Why
didn't you include your own photo?
**[02:18] Sister**
I couldn't! No one would take me seriously.
**[02:22] Sister**
The reply came all because of your picture.
**[02:28] Urara**
Be more confident! You're
pretty, Sis! And so am I.
**[02:36] Urara**
Okay then, if I've made a
new friend, I'll forgive you.
**[02:39] Urara**
You're going to change
this time, right, Sis?
**[02:45] Urara**
Take it slow, but do your best, Sis.

**[02:58] Omittedgintoki**
I didn't think this letter would reach
anyone, so I'm very happy.
**[03:02] ---**
I'd like to get to know
you better, Shinpachi.
**[03:06] Gintoki**
Hey, you did it. She wants
to get to know you better.
**[03:10] ---**
She's totally into this. So what'll you do?
**[03:13] ---**
Will you tell her everything?
**[03:16] Shinpachi**
But, Gin... The picture I sent to her...
**[03:21] ---**
Maybe it's not me she wants
to get to know, but Okita.
**[03:26] ---**
If I said, "This is Shinpachi Shimura,"
**[03:29] ---**
wouldn't anyone looking at the photo
assume that I meant Okita?
**[03:33] Gintoki**
Don't worry. You're in the
picture. And you look good.
**[03:36] Shinpachi**
But half of me is out of the frame!
I'm the one being slain!
**[03:41] Gintoki**
If you want to be considered the lover
here, then that's the perfect pose.
**[03:46] Gintoki**
We didn't tell any lies. And if she misinterprets
things, that's not our fault.
**[03:54] Shinpachi**
Anyone looking at this
would misinterpret it!
**[03:57] Gintoki**
But we've passed the first hurdle
in getting her to reply.
**[04:01] Kondo**
So naive.
**[04:03] Kondo**
The first gate? That's way off.
**[04:06] Kondo**
You guys aren't even in front of the gate.
**[04:09] Shinpachi**
I don't need to hear that from someone
who can't even get through the gate!
**[04:13] Kondo**
Don't say anything, Shinpachi.
**[04:15] Kondo**
I know pretty much what's been
happening these past few days.
**[04:17] Shinpachi**
How do you know?! Okita
was here looking for you!
**[04:20] Shinpachi**
How long have you been there?!
**[04:22] Kondo**
If it's matters of the heart, why didn't
you come to me, Kondo the expert?!
**[04:26] Shinpachi**
You're the expert of harassment!
**[04:27] Shinpachi**
Besides, I've never seen
a dirtier expert at love!
**[04:31] Kondo**
Right! To capture love, you get
down and dirty without giving up!
**[04:34] Shinpachi**
Give it up! Please, I'm
begging you! Give it up!
**[04:38] Kondo**
Letters, huh? Brings back memories.
**[04:40] Kondo**
I used to correspond a lot.
**[04:42] Kondo**
I'd get so nervous each time a letter came.
**[04:45] Kondo**
I can't remember how many times
I went to make payments.
**[04:47] Shinpachi**
That wasn't correspondence! Those were
bills for the crap you signed up for!
**[04:49] Kondo**
Was not! I remember it in my heart!
**[04:51] Shinpachi**
So you did go on an adult site?!
**[04:54] Kondo**
Shinpachi, a guy like him who's only
experience in love is in the gutter
**[04:58] Kondo**
can't know anything about writing letters.
**[05:00] ---**
Let me, your future brother-in-law,
handle it!
**[05:03] Gintoki**
How dare you?!
**[05:04] Gintoki**
The only experience you have
in love is paid sex. So don't talk!
**[05:08] Kondo**
Well then, let me ask. What
are you going to do now?
**[05:12] Kondo**
The girl has begun to take
an interest in Shinpachi.
**[05:15] Kondo**
So what should he say?
**[05:17] Kondo**
For example!
**[05:19] Narrator**
I work part-time at an Odd Jobs in Edo.
**[05:23] Narrator**
I'm always poor and my hobby
is chasing after pop idols.
**[05:26] Kondo**
How can you be popular with that?!
**[05:28] Kondo**
Odd Jobs is no place to work!
And chasing pop idols is weird!
**[05:32] Gintoki**
You should talk, when you can't
even make it with women!
**[05:35] Gintoki**
There's nothing wrong with Odd Jobs!
**[05:36] Shinpachi**
Yeah! And what's wrong
with chasing pop idols?!
**[05:39] Shinpachi**
It's better than stalking a
woman who hates you!
**[05:41] Kondo**
Well then, let me ask you. Are
you popular with girls now?
**[05:45] Kondo**
No, right? Naturally!
**[05:46] Kondo**
If you write honestly about
your current lifestyle,
**[05:50] Kondo**
what woman would be interested?!
**[05:52] Shinpachi**
Then are you suggesting we lie?!
**[05:54] Gintoki**
We may have tinkered with the
facts a little, but we haven't lied!
**[05:58] Kondo**
Lie? As if I'd suggest anything
that's against the samurai code.
**[06:01] Kondo**
However, changing the
way the sentence reads
**[06:04] Kondo**
can greatly enhance the
impression it creates.
**[06:06] Kondo**
For example...
**[06:10] Narrator**
I train every day under a samurai named Gin
in hopes of learning the Way of the Samurai.
**[06:16] Narrator**
My hobby is music.
**[06:18] Narrator**
It's the one thing that I don't
mind opening my wallet for.
**[06:21] Narrator**
But as a result, I'm always
a little short on cash.
**[06:24] Gintoki**
The content is still the same as before,
but the impact is vastly different.
**[06:28] Kondo**
There's more.
**[06:30] Narrator**
My dream is to revive
my family's sword dojo.
**[06:34] Narrator**
My sister has been doing her best
to support me and my dream.
**[06:38] Narrator**
My sister is a fine woman, beautiful, gentle,
**[06:42] Narrator**
and if I were to marry, she's the
kind of woman I'd like to find.
**[06:47] Narrator**
Lately, her beauty shines even more, and even
I, her younger brother, am dazzled by it.
**[06:53] Narrator**
In a word, her beauty is like a single flower.
**[06:56] Narrator**
So delicate, it's as though
it would fall if touched,
**[06:59] Narrator**
but at the same time, it has a strength
that makes it unbreakable.
**[07:04] Narrator**
What is even more amazing is
that even with all that beauty,
**[07:08] Narrator**
she remains down-to-earth. Her spirit
remains pure and she glows.
**[07:15] Narrator**
Is this a miracle?
**[07:16] Narrator**
No, it is not. It is she herself
that is the miracle.
**[07:21] Narrator**
And this beauty that we behold is a petite-miracle,
which was borne from the miracle that she is.
**[07:27] Xxkondo**
And even more amazing, my sister...
**[07:29] Shinpachi**
Too long!
**[07:30] Shinpachi**
Must you go on and on
and on about my sister?
**[07:32] Shinpachi**
As her brother, it makes me wanna puke!
**[07:34] Shinpachi**
You said change the point of view,
but now it's all your point of view!
**[07:37] Shinpachi**
Undoubtedly, even in my words,
my sister's existence is essential.
**[07:41] Shinpachi**
But you have to make it more
concise, or it loses its purpose!
**[07:45] Kondo**
I see. Oh well. I'll swallow my tears
and cut it down to one sentence.
**[07:52] Narrator**
She turns me on.
**[07:53] Shinpachi**
What kind of kid brother is that?!
**[07:54] Shinpachi**
Like I said, it's all your feelings!
By the way, is that all you feel?!
**[07:59] Kondo**
Please don't tell your sister.
**[08:01] Shinpachi**
As if I could!
**[08:02] Gintoki**
Say, let's just cut your sister
out of this already.
**[08:05] Gintoki**
Having an older sister has
absolutely no merits.
**[08:09] Gintoki**
Ultimately, she could be the sister-in-law.
**[08:11] Gintoki**
Let's eliminate all negative keywords.
Just write about what works.
**[08:16] Narrator**
Under the guidance of
a samurai named Gin,
**[08:19] Narrator**
I get turned on every day and night.
**[08:21] Shinpachi**
Get rid of "turned on"!
**[08:22] Shinpachi**
The most negative keyword
is still being used!
**[08:24] Shinpachi**
What's this "turned on
every day and night"?!
**[08:26] ---**
It sounds like I'm like that all year long!
**[08:28] Gintoki**
I get turned on during the weekends.
**[08:30] Shinpachi**
"Weekends" is fine, but delete "turned on"!
**[08:32] Shinpachi**
Enough already! Use the first
half, and forget the rest!
**[08:36] Shinpachi**
Forget...
**[08:42] Shinpachi**
You... Urara ...
**[08:46] Shinpachi**
What is your life like?
**[08:50] Chanzou Sebasu**
Miss, the ocean air is not good for you.
**[08:54] Sister**
It's all right. Please leave it open.
**[08:58] Sister (M)**
So you have an older sister too, Shinpachi.
**[09:01] Sister (M)**
I have one older sister. But unlike
yours, my sister is very weak.
**[09:09] Sister (M)**
She has been sickly since she was a child
**[09:13] Sister (M)**
and spent most of her time
indoors, always alone.
**[09:15] Sister (M)**
So, she's very shy
**[09:18] Sister (M)**
and even though her health is better,
she's not comfortable around others.
**[09:22] Sister (M)**
The only ones she's able to talk to freely
are myself and our butler, Chanzo Sebasu.
**[09:29] Sister (M)**
And on the rare days she does go outside,
**[09:31] Sister (M)**
she gazes out at the ocean
towards far off lands.
**[09:36] Sister (M)**
She's unable to cast off the shell
she has built around herself.
**[09:41] Sister (M)**
What do you think about a sister like that?
**[09:44] Kondo**
Hey, she really latched onto the topic of
an older sister. More than we expected.
**[09:48] Shinpachi**
She didn't write a thing about herself.
**[09:50] Gintoki**
Didn't I tell you? To leave out
writing about your sister?
**[09:55] Gintoki**
What's the use of exchanging
notes about your sisters?!
**[09:59] Gintoki**
Get the subject back to yourself!
**[10:00] Kondo**
But you can't just change the subject.
**[10:02] Kondo**
This is her dear older sister.
**[10:04] Kondo**
You have to do a follow-up, then
gently change the subject.
**[10:08] Shinpachi**
So how would I follow up?
**[10:10] Hijikata**
Oh, so you're here, after all.
**[10:14] Hijikata**
Kondo, get your act together, will you?
**[10:16] Hijikata**
You slack off from work
and go roaming around.
**[10:20] Hijikata**
Can you put yourself in my place
trying to follow-up for you?
**[10:23] Kondo**
Perfect timing! Toshiro Hijikata,
the follow-up man!
**[10:27] Kondo**
He handles all the problem kids and
follows up with them every day.
**[10:31] Kondo**
With Toshi, there's nothing
he can't follow-up!
**[10:33] Hijikata**
What are you talking about?
**[10:35] Kondo**
Read this, Toshi-follow!
**[10:37] Hijikata**
Cut the Toshi-follow! It's Toshi*ro*!
And why should I?
**[10:40] Shinpachi**
Please read it, Follow-kata!
**[10:42] Hijikata**
Get your names straight!
Nothing makes sense!
**[10:46] Hijikata**
Hey Four-eyes, what do
you see in this woman?
**[10:50] Hijikata**
I'm telling you, she's a Type bleep.
**[10:53] Shinpachi**
Type bleep?
**[10:54] Hijikata**
Type bleep women are willful
and never listen to others.
***SIGN***
**[10:58] Hijikata**
She talks only about herself and monopolizes
the conversation, then thinks it's going well.
**[11:04] Hijikata**
If you don't do the proper follow-up,
she'll talk on and on forever.
**[11:09] Hijikata**
And yet, she won't listen even if
you force another subject on her.
**[11:13] Hijikata**
This really needs to be handled properly.
**[11:15] Gintoki**
So what? You got something
against Type bleep women?
**[11:19] Hijikata**
No!
**[11:20] Kondo**
Toshi, are you still stuck on that?
**[11:22] Hijikata**
Never mind that!
**[11:24] Shinpachi**
It's different with someone
who's popular with women.
**[11:27] Shinpachi**
You give good advice, bleep-kata!
**[11:29] Hijikata**
Stop calling me by all
those different names!
**[11:31] Gintoki**
Type Peep will find that you can't get
much done today, but hang in there.
**[11:35] Kondo**
Type piip might get caught
in a sudden shower.
**[11:37] Kondo**
Don't forget your umbrellas
when you go out.
**[11:39] Hijikata**
That's just fortune-telling! Besides,
why would it only rain on Type piip?!
**[11:42] Gintoki**
In any case, what we need is a miraculous
follow-up that has a finality,
**[11:46] Gintoki**
then we naturally switch subjects,
being careful not to hurt her.
**[11:50] Ginitoki**
That's a cinch. Just leave it to me.
**[11:56] Gintoki Narration**
It pains my heart to think about your sister.
**[12:00] Gintoki Narration**
But I'm sure your sister understands
your concerns.
**[12:05] Narration**
I know that one day, her heart will open up.
**[12:09] Narration**
Speaking of opening up, when will you
open up your legs for me, Urara?
**[12:13] Shinpachi**
That's not natural!
**[12:15] Shinpachi**
What kind of subject are
you trying to introduce?!
**[12:17] Shinpachi**
Even a caveman knows
how to be more delicate!
**[12:20] Gintoki**
In love, we all return to
our primeval selves.
**[12:23] Shinpachi**
You can return by yourself.
And never come back!
**[12:25] Kondo**
This is ridiculous! There's no follow-up!
**[12:28] Kondo**
It's so flimsy! You're not thinking
seriously about the sister here.
**[12:35] Kondo Narration**
When I think about your sister...
**[12:39] Narration**
I get turned on.
**[12:40] Shinpachi**
There's no distinction with that!
**[12:42] Shinpachi**
That's not a follow-up. You're
only thinking about my sister!
**[12:44] Shinpachi**
Even an amoeba can do better than that!
**[12:47] Kondo**
Everyone gets gooey in love.
**[12:49] Shinpachi**
It's the inside of your head that's gooey!
**[12:54] Shinpachi**
Hijikata ...
**[12:57] Hijikata**
Oh well, I have no choice.
**[13:00] Hijikata Narration**
You seem to be very concerned
about your sister.
**[13:04] Hijikata Narration**
But I don't think you need to be.
**[13:06] Narration**
I can't feel sorry for your sister, nor do
I have words of encouragement for her.
**[13:12] Narration**
After all, she does have a friend.
**[13:16] Narration**
Me.
**[13:19] Xxhijikata Narration**
I will be your sister's friend.
**[13:21] Xxhijikata Narration**
If she's unable to break out of her shell,
then I will come to break it for her.
**[13:25] Kondo**
We say we'll release her, then we do
an ultra-dreadnought of a follow-up!
**[13:29] Shinpachi**
And with that follow-up, we nonchalantly
arrange to meet!
**[13:31] Hijikata Narration**
Please let me meet your sister.
**[13:34] Hijikata Narration**
Oh, please forgive me for
bringing it up so suddenly.
**[13:37] Narration**
I've said some noble things. But
actually, I'm not such a great guy.
**[13:42] Narration**
After all, I...I just...I just...
**[13:47] Narration**
want to meet you.
**[13:50] Shinpachi**
There's the follow-up! We followed
up with Urara at the end!
**[13:53] Hijikata**
It's not the end. We erase this
part. And now it's the end!
**[14:00] Shinpachi**
You erased it?! The line about
wanting to meet her?! Why?!
**[14:05] Kondo**
I-Is it because a youth like Shinpachi
would be too shy to ask to meet her?
**[14:12] Gintoki**
So! It's a put-on that after he writes it,
he realizes he's too shy, then erases it.
**[14:19] Kondo**
You even followed up with Shinpachi!
**[14:21] Shinpachi**
It's perfect!
**[14:22] Gintoki**
It's done! So this is known as...
**[14:25] Kondo Et Al**
the Follow-kata Toshi-follow!
**[14:29] Hijikata**
Send it immediately.
**[14:30] Shinpachi**
Yes! Thank you!
**[14:37] Gintoki**
Hey, guys,
**[14:40] Gintoki**
I'm not gonna thank you.
**[14:43] Kondo**
No problem.
**[14:44] Kondo**
Every man goes down this path.
**[15:06] Hijikata(M)**
Oops...
**[15:07] Hijikata(M)**
I forgot to erase the line Kondo wrote.
***SIGN*** [When I think about your sister, I get turned on.]
**[15:20] Urara**
How creepy! This guy gets turned on?!
**[15:24] Urara**
Sis, forget this. No more corresponding!
**[15:27] Urara**
Sister?
**[15:28] Urara**
Say, what's the matter?
**[15:31] Sister**
It's strange.
**[15:33] Sister**
Every time he writes, the letters seem
like they're from a different person.
**[15:38] Sister**
As though he's someone
with multiple personalities.
**[15:42] Sister**
I've never had a friend, and all at once,
**[15:46] Sister**
I feel like I have many friends.
**[15:49] Urara**
What are you saying, Sis?
**[15:50] Urara**
He's just a weirdo.
**[15:52] Sister**
And, I've been writing as if I was you.
**[15:58] Sister**
Yet he says he wants to help me.
**[16:02] Sister**
That he gets turned on.
**[16:04] Urara**
Sister! Do you even know what that
means? Getting turned on means...
**[16:08] Sister**
...want to meet him.
**[16:11] Sister**
I...
**[16:14] Sister**
I want to try meeting him.
**[16:18] Shinpachi**
Gin-san! Hey, take a look at this letter!
**[16:22] Gintoki**
This is bad. I want nothing
to do with it. Nothing.
**[16:25] Kondo**
Me neither! It's Toshi. It's all Toshi's fault!
**[16:28] Hijikata**
You're the one who started this,
Kondo. It's not my problem!
**[16:31] Shinpachi**
I did it! I finally did it!
**[16:34] Shinpachi**
Urara wants to meet me!
**[16:41] Hijikata**
I'm so happy that you're concerned about
my sister as though she's your own sister.
**[16:46] Kondo**
I would love for you and my sister to meet.
**[16:50] Gintoki**
I'll be going to Edo with her,
so let's definitely meet.
**[16:54] Shinpachi**
Wow, I never imagined I'd
get to meet her so soon.
**[16:57] Shinpachi**
I guess it's really worth trying.
**[16:59] Shinpachi**
Thank you so much everyone.
**[17:02] Shinpachi**
One should always have a senpai who
can teach you about life. Really.
**[17:06] Gintoki**
Hey, what's it mean?
**[17:08] Gintoki**
She received a letter like that
and she wants to meet up.
**[17:13] Gintoki**
Does it mean? No way!
**[17:17] Hijikata Et All**
She's turned on, too?!
**[17:19] Kondo**
Absolutely not!
**[17:22] Shinpachi**
Kondo! What're you doing?!
**[17:24] Kondo**
No way! 16 years old and turned on?!
**[17:27] Kondo**
I will not allow it. As a brother!
**[17:29] Shinpachi**
You're not my brother! Besides, you're
the one who's turned on the most!
**[17:33] Kondo**
When you're over 20. Get
turned on all you want!
**[17:36] Hijikata**
Say, but you were horny even
before you turned 20.
**[17:38] Kondo**
I will not allow it!
**[17:40] Gintoki**
What'll we do about this?
**[17:46] Omittedurara**
Sister! You can't! Not after
we came all this way!
**[17:49] Sister**
Urara, stop! I really don't want to. Really!
**[17:53] Urara**
What are you saying?! You're the
one who said you want to meet him!
**[17:56] Sister**
I'll be satisfied if I can just get
a glimpse of Shinpachi's face.
**[17:59] Sister**
I'll watch from the shadows,
so you go, Urara!
**[18:02] Urara**
That's just pointless! Why did you begin
corresponding in the first place, Sis?!
**[18:07] ---**
In order to change yourself,
right? To make friends, right?
**[18:11] Sister**
B-But he thinks you're his writing partner.
**[18:16] Sister**
If I go, he'll only be disappointed.
**[18:20] Urara**
There you go again, running away!
**[18:22] Urara**
You're just scared of getting involved
with people. Of being hurt!
**[18:27] Urara**
And if you don't change that about
you, you'll always be alone!
**[18:35] Urara**
You'll be fine. Have confidence, Sis.
**[18:40] ---**
You're very pretty.
**[18:42] Urara**
And why wouldn't you be?
**[18:44] Urara**
After all, you're my sister.
**[18:48] Urara**
So don't try to put on airs and
be something you're not.
**[18:53] Urara**
Just be natural.
**[18:55] Urara**
You're wonderful just the way you are.
**[18:59] Sister**
Natural.
**[19:00] Urara**
Yes. You get nervous because you
try to be someone you're not.
**[19:05] Urara**
Just be yourself, do what you feel, be
true to who you are. Just act natural.
**[19:12] Sister (M)**
Do what I feel?
**[19:16] Sister (M)**
Like leaving!
**[19:17] Urara**
Sis!
**[19:18] Urara**
Darn it! For Sis, leaving
is what comes naturally!
**[19:22] ---**
Wait, Sis!
**[19:24] Okita**
Excuse me. Are you Urara?
**[19:27] Okita**
Hello, I'm Shinpachi Shimura.
**[19:34] Shinpachi**
Hey, why...
**[19:36] Shinpachi**
Why's Okita on a date
with her in my place?!
**[19:39] Gintoki**
Now, now, calm down, Pachi.
**[19:42] Gintoki**
He'll pull it off nicely.
**[19:44] Shinpachi**
He doesn't have to pull it off!
**[19:46] Shinpachi**
I finally got a date! How come a stranger
gets to enjoy the best part?!
**[19:51] Gintoki**
He's no stranger. He's Shinpachi.
**[19:53] Gintoki**
Remember. To her, he's Shinpachi.
Did you forget?
**[19:58] Shinpachi**
That's because you sent
that complicated photo!
**[20:01] Gintoki**
But it's also because of this
photo that she wrote back.
**[20:05] Shinpachi**
S-Still, I've written diligently to her.
So what was the purpose of it all?
**[20:11] Gintoki**
Who says it's going to continue like this?
**[20:13] Shinpachi**
Huh?! Then I'm going to
go out there and confess!
**[20:16] Shinpachi**
I'm supposed to go out in
this situation and tell her,
**[20:18] Shinpachi**
"Actually, I'm the one
who wrote the letters"!
**[20:20] Gintoki**
Calm down. If you go out there
now, you'll just lose to Okita.
**[20:24] Gintoki**
There's nothing to be gained from that.
**[20:26] ---**
The difference between you two is like the
difference between the moon and turtle crap.
**[20:28] Shinpachi**
Just turtle will do.
**[20:29] Gintoki**
Or like Ken and the crap from his crap.
***SIGN***
**[20:32] Shinpachi**
How about just crap? No, never mind.
**[20:35] Ginitoki**
In other words, even if you reveal yourself,
**[20:37] Ginitoki**
it has to be done under the right circumstances
or it won't work at all.
**[20:40] ---**
Look, if Ken's crap was
on the railway track,
**[20:42] ---**
even it could pass for Poppoya,
the rail master.
**[20:45] Shinpachi**
Not! Don't be so rude!
**[20:47] Gintoki**
You want to look clumsy.
**[20:48] Shinpachi**
I'd say I'm pretty deft. Crapping on
the tracks between trains passing.
**[20:51] Gintoki**
Anyway, Okita's gonna
play a bad role here.
**[20:55] Gintoki**
He's your arch-rival.
**[20:58] Gintoki**
And one day, he discovers that you're
going to correspond with a pretty girl.
**[21:02] Gintoki**
He decides to take her away from you
and crumples up that first letter you wrote
**[21:02] Urara**
Oh no!
**[21:07] Gintoki**
and sends his own photo instead.
**[21:10] Gintoki**
Later, he bides his time until you and Urara
have formed a bond and promise to meet.
**[21:15] Gintoki**
And he waits for that moment!
**[21:16] Gintoki**
However, who should appear but Poppoya!
**[21:21] Shinpachi**
Isn't that a bit too cliché?
Are you sure it'll work?
**[21:23] Okita**
It's actually worse over here than a novel.
**[21:26] Shinpachi**
O-Okita?
**[21:28] Okita**
I think that'll be simple enough. I'm not
good at remembering difficult things.
**[21:34] Shinpachi**
Are you sure, Okita? You
don't mind doing this?
**[21:37] Okita**
Well, I owe Gin.
**[21:39] Okita**
On top of which, Kondo just issued
a new set of rules for us.
**[21:44] ---**
Article 46, Hate Odd Jobs.
**[21:47] ---**
However, be kind only to Shinpachi.
Otherwise, it's harakiri.
**[21:51] Shinpachi**
That sounds awful. He's
really getting ambitious.
**[21:54] Okita**
Oh yeah, there's a bit of a problem.
**[21:57] Okita**
Seems the girl came to Edo with her sister,
**[22:01] Okita**
but that sister's gone missing.
And she's pretty nervous.
**[22:05] Shinpachi**
Sister? The one mentioned in the letter?
**[22:08] Okita**
What do you want me to do? There's
no way I can seduce the girl.
**[22:11] Gintoki**
Sis? It's easier to woo a woman
when there's no sibling around.
**[22:15] Gintoki**
It's your chance. Just tell her you called
the police or whatever and go on a date.
**[22:19] Okita**
Say, but I am the police.
**[22:22] Gintoki**
You take a woman when she's worried,
drunk or on her graduation.
**[22:27] Gintoki**
That's the usual. Right, Shinpachi?
**[22:32] Sister**
Excuse me.
**[22:34] Sister**
Sh-Shinpachi? Did you just say Shinpachi?
