"So~ since we've all been getting drunk a bit, let's play the Shogun game!" Matsudaira said raising his glass on air. Heh? The what now? "Let me explain how it goes on" and he did causing my eyes to widen a bit. The game actually sounds interesting. Why have i never heard of it before? "Oh no, Matsudaira-san is trying to do something naughty by using the game" Otae said sweetly as she slapped his arm playfully. "No no, I'll be the emcee this time. You young people enjoy it!" Oh God, something about the way he said it made a chill run down my spine. "So, who'll be the one that pick the Shogun?" And the games began.
As Matsudaira held up the lots in his hands, the ladies in front of me fought among each other for a particular stick. Damn, they must have hidden desires they want people to fulfill. They don't even realise that they threw old man Matsudaira away during the fight. "My my, what are you ladies doing?" Shinpachi commented as he went to grab the lots that was scattered on the floor. "Here, Shogun-sama" he held the lots in front of him and immediately all of them were gone leaving one behind. F-Fast.. well i was the first one to grab it but "So, who's the-" "It's me" Gintoki said as he grinned from ear to ear. Oh shit. "The person who picked no.4, can you please take your clothes off except your underwear" he said looking at me with a smirk. D-Dont tell me I turned the stick around to see the number and immediately sighed in relief. "Then who's the-" as soon as i turned my head to the left, i regretted the relieved smile i had on my face. SHOGUN KA.. "N-Next~"
It was Otae's turn and she ordered no.3 to rent their kimono to the person who looks the coldest. Atta girl! Let's see, I'm no.5 now.. so who's gonna be- i felt someone drop something on my lap. Eh? EH?!? SHOGUN KA! "S-Sho-chan, are you cold? Do you want me to bring you something?" i asked softly while folding the underwear ..it's pretty clean for a guy. "Thank you, but I'm fine. We've been trained for this since birth" he smiled warmly at me making me speechless. Trained for what exactly?! Poor Shogun.. i gulped down the drink in my glass before continuing the game again. This time it was-
..Sarutobi. I already know what she's gonna wish for, oh Lord. "I order Gin-san to have se-" "Order with number, boke!" i shouted throwing the wine bottle that i just finished at her. "Tch, always coming in the way of love" she glared at me which i gladly returned with interest "No.5, go buy boxer shorts" she said in disinterest. Good girl! This time i'm- seriously? I'm no.4 now? Well whatever, as long as it's not Shogu- the man himself stood up from beside me and started walking towards the door. NOT HIM AGAIN! WHAT A LUCK! The Shogun opened the doors and sprinted out of the bar. "Follow him! His reputation is in danger!" I shouted running after him.
"You guys! What did you do to the Shogun?!" Kondo-san shouted as we all ran out of the bar. "Nothing much!" Gintoki shouted from beside me. After a few seconds, we were already being followed by tanks, cars and helicopters that belonged to the Shinsengumi. Eep! i ran away from the group and went towards Shogun. "Hurry pick one!" Kagura said as placed the lots in front of him. He looked at her in shock before his eyes fell on me. I nodded my head, nudging him to pick one. And when he did, guess what it was? He turned the stick towards me and showed me the 'Shogun' words written on it. "Sho-chan, give us an order. Whatever you want!" I smiled at him. He looked down before noticing all the lots had the word 'Shogun' written on it. "Heh" i heard a chuckle come from beside me causing me to gasp. T-This is the first time he ever expressed an emotion! He looked at the members behind us before ordering them to hold back the Shinsengumi. "Aye aye, sir!"
"I brought you your clothes" i said to the man who was now sitting along on a bench. "Ah, thank you. Sorry to bother you for this. I wish i could have gone there myself.." he said taking the bag from me. "Please don't say that" i crouched down and sat on my knees "We're the ones who should apologise to you" i hung my head low and closed my eyes "Our behaviour was very rude. We deeply apologise for it, your Majesty" I heard shuffling of clothes from above but i dared not look up. After a while the sound stopped causing me to be nervous, to the point where i could hear my own heartbeat. "Raise your head and sit beside me, miss" he said, his words held such a power which compelled me to do so. "Don't apologise. I enjoyed every bit of it with you guys. I'll have Matsudaira take me to Katakurika again. So when we meet, play with me again" he gave me a gentle smile. "Ofcourse!" "So I've noticed this, you aren't actually a bar girl, are you?" his question caught me off guard making me almost spit out the invisible water from my mouth. "Heh.. eh.. no. I actually run a restaurant.." "Really?! Tell me the name! I'll definitely go visit some time soon" "Y-Your Majesty, you don't have to-" "Sho-chan, miss" i was dumbfounded against his smooth talking. "E-Edo Paradise"
