"What's taking them so long..?" Otae mumbled as she helped me with the food. "They are indeed taking a lot of time. Otae, Hasegawa-san, why don't you two go after them?" "But-" "It's alright, leave the food to me. It's almost done so don't worry" i smiled. They both nodded at my words and then went to look for Shinpachi and Kyubei. I wasn't worried about the other group. Instead i was worried about the ones who'll stumble upon them. As i minded my own business and took care of the food, a sudden loud sound followed by a rumbling occurred. Now, what was that all about? i stood up and went towards the source of the sound. "Don't move. Turn" a sharp edged sword was held on my back. That's my fault for not keeping my guard up. I held up my hands and slowly turned around to be faced with a group of turtle men surrounding me.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in Ryuuguujou? Why aren't you in Edo city?" the man asked pointing his sword at me. "Huh? This is Ryuuguujou?!" i stared at the men in shock. "Do you think I'm joking with you?! Who are you?! Did Kamehashi bring you here?!" "Who's Kamehashi?" i narrowed my eyebrows at them. "You! Answer my questions instead of asking yours!" he now held the sword at my neck. "Hey dude, calm down. She's just a girl. Look at her, she's a babe. We could have some fun with her before dumping her in the water" another man spoke coming towards me. Oh, interesting. "I don't care! I need to carry out Otohime-sama's order no matter what" the man's attention shifted from me to him giving me a perfect opportunity. I held the sword that was pointed at me and then hit his head with it before knocking out the entire group leaving the one who tried to have 'fun' with me. "L-Leave me alone, please! I beg off you!" he cowered as i walked towards him. "Now, tell me what's happening in this island. If you don't, I'll slice off your fingers first and then-" "Stop! I-I'll speak! Please don't hurt me!"
The man then told me about the Otohime's order, Kamehashi and that the island was surrounded by more turtle men. "Alright, thanks" saying that i knocked him unconscious as well. "Well then, let's see what's happening" i went and searched for the other members but to my surprise they were all caught. What the hell? Where's the fighters of the group? i looked around and saw 2 old men wearing the same outfits at Katsura and Gintoki. What the actual fuck? The seven of them was then taken into a ship/submarine which i then sneaked into. The transportation took us deep under the sea and there it was Ryuuguujou Palace. So beautiful i looked at the bright Palace from my hiding space. The ship soon stopped below the palace and then the seven of them was taken inside a dark tunnel. Since they stopped here, that means they'd be taken into a jail. Now, the important thing is, how do i blend in?
Ugh this is stuffy, this is so stuffy. I feel like I'm gonna be suffocated to death in this i thought as i walked towards the tunnel in a turtle shell with a speak in my hand. Where did i get it from? I may or may not have robbed a guy after knocking him down. Where are they? Where are they? Where are- "Found you all! Is everyone alright?" i whispered a bit loudly enough so that only the ones in the room can hear. "Nee-san?!" Kagura shouted in shock causing me to immediately shush her. They all looked at me in shock before asking me tons of questions at once. One person is missing.. who- "Where's Otae?" i asked causing them all to quiet down. "Anewei.. anewei was taken away" Shinpachi balled out in front of me. "Nothing will happen to her, i promise. Listen, we save Otae, turn everyone back to normal and crush Otohime's plan. We're the only ones who can do it since everyone on this planet has become old"
"What are you doing?" Shit, i was so focused on the people in front of me that i forgot to take care of the ones in the back. "Um nothing. I was just telling- Oh, is that Kamehashi?" i asked pointing towards a turtle man who was captured by him. "Yeah, found him sneaking around. Now he's finally gonna taste death" the guy smirked at him. "Oh really? That's nice and all but-" i hit the man on his neck causing him to knock out cold "i hate death". "Woah, you're so cool, boss lady!" Kamehashi said in astonishment. Whaaa? "Hey you two over there, what's happening?" a group of 3 turtle men came towards us. "Kagura, gate" "You got it!" she replied as soon as i rushed towards the 3 before knocking them down. "More people might come after us so hurry put on their shells and take their weapons"
"Act like a turtle, they won't be suspicious of you that way" Kamehashi said as we all walked in one group. "That doesn't mean you'll start laying eggs, Kagura-chan. Kyubei-san, stop dropping out ping pong balls out of your shells. Katsura-san and Gin-san, stop playing those old ping pong games. NEE-SAN, HELP ME!!!" Shinpachi shouted at me in frustration. "Uh.. I'm out of this" i said scooting a bit away from the group. As we walked towards the palace, Kamehashi told us about the past of Ryuuguujou and why things are like this now. "In other words, she planned to turn all the people of earth into old geezers because she won't let anyone be more beautiful than her? Just to ensure that she's the most beautiful woman in the world? That's a very stupid reason! Who is she even doing this for?"
