[ Regarding Otae's devilish proposal, fortunately, Toshi was still rational and did not agree: "Whether it's saving the Shogun or being beheaded together! We have to ensure our own safety first."
"That actually makes sense." Katsura, who had been turned into a snowman behind them, suggested: "Then let's split the group into a Safety Team and a Search for the Shogun Team!"
"Don't worry. Although the Shogun is an enemy I must defeat, in this situation, status and positions don't matter. You can all throw yourselves into my embrace!"
But everyone ignored him. Only Sougo looked back and glanced at Katsura, who was not far away: "If something really happens to the Shogun, we'll just frame that guy. So, what do we do now?"
Seeing the snow falling harder and harder, Toshi decided to split into two groups: one to search for the Shogun and the other to build a base. But for the sake of fairness, they used Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide.
"Rock—Paper—Scissors!"
And so… amidst this howling blizzard, Kondo, wearing only a pair of underwear, walked through the freezing wind with his arms hugged tight, shivering uncontrollably.
Toshi and Sougo even waved goodbye considerately: "Take care! Kondo-san, be careful out there!"
After hearing their voices, Kondo turned around, still trembling incessantly: "Don't tell me to be 'careful', I haven't 'added' anything to my body at all!" ]

"No way, that guy buried in the snowball is completely unpredictable. Forget about knowing what he's thinking, I don't even know what he came out here for until now…"
"Hahaha, give the guy a break. A gorilla's life is a life too… Pfft, hahaha, it's too tragic. A world where only the gorilla gets hurt has been completed."
Even the audience outside the video couldn't help but laugh… You guys really "feel for" your commander, don't you? He's your Chief after all, please, have a heart!
You two really are "considerate" subordinates, waving so happily! But… how is this any different from Miss Otae's proposal just now, hey!
.....
〜Detective Conan World〜
Watching Sougo's practiced framing behavior, Conan felt a bit of cold sweat:
"Is this the police organization of Japan in another world?"
This is equivalent to losing the head of state. Even if they frame someone, atoning with their lives would probably be unavoidable!
And… bombarding civilians with helicopters, bribing ropeway managers, framing enemies—do these guys look anything like public servants? They're clearly a bunch of lawless terrorists!
"This gor—Kondo-san is simply too pitiful."
Ran felt a bit sorry for him, though for some reason, she paused for a moment.
"This…?"
Hearing this, Conan was stunned. Nee, nee, ne, are you still the Ran I know?
Are you really feeling sorry? You definitely wanted to call Kondo-san a gorilla just now!
.....
[ "Um…" Kondo tried to speak again, using a slightly pleading tone: "Did you guys… forget something?"
"Forgot something? What do you mean?" Shinpachi asked Sougo beside him, confused.
Sougo was also clueless: "No idea."
With tears at the corners of his eyes already frozen into ice, Kondo's voice trembled: "No, it's pretty cold out here, so…"
Then, as if remembering something, his voice grew a bit louder: "That's right! The Shogun must be frozen stiff, too. He probably needs something to warm his body, like clothes."
Gintoki stared with dead-fish eyes and pointed at Kondo's underwear: "Oi, oi! Pull yourself together. Don't you have clothes? Right there on your waist…"
Otae also squinted her eyes, smiling exceptionally sweetly: "Oh my, Kondo-san, really, you're so careless!"
Hearing the girl he liked say that, Kondo could only pretend nothing was wrong and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, oops, I was too careless."
Otae reminded him once more: "Remember to warm them up with your body heat before giving them to the Shogun."
"Then… then I'm off." Kondo turned around, looking so aggrieved he was about to cry. ]

"Hahaha, this is killing me… What kind of devils are you? This is your Chief! If nothing else, at least be kind to animals."
"They won't even let his underwear go. Truly, hell is empty, and the devils are among us… Please, have some humanity!"
For a Chief, this is way too pathetic! To ask for clothes, he has to use the Shogun as an excuse. Everyone suddenly felt lucky that the Shogun was missing; otherwise, the one being persecuted might have been the Shogun himself.

〜My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected World〜
"Right there on your waist… Pfft, hahaha… How can they say that with a straight face?"
Hachiman, holding his breath until his face turned red, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Otae-san is the real demon here. Even a demon would have to tattoo her on their back. Kondo-san only has that one piece of clothing left, and you want him to warm it up before giving it to the Shogun?
I really don't know if they truly didn't notice or if they're deliberately ignoring it. They're being way too inhuman.
"At least give the man a torch…"
Yukinoshita said helplessly.
That said, if one looked closely, one could see her shoulders were also shaking; she was clearly stifling a laugh.
〜Baka to Test: Summon the Beasts World〜
"No, I can't watch this anymore. A gorilla's life is a life too. At least treat animals with kindness."
Akihisa stood up, slamming the table, speaking with righteous indignation.
He's crying! The gorilla is so aggrieved he's about to cry! Going out to find someone in this snow wearing only underwear—isn't that just asking for his life!
Animals? Hideyoshi was speechless upon hearing this:
"Akihisa, I don't know if you're pitying him or slandering him…"
Yuuji shook his head in pity:
"I have to say, this Chief's temper is really good! To be treated like this and still have no reaction."
It's just that poor Kondo-san is being played like a fiddle by Miss Otae. Don't try to act tough at a time like this…
.....
[ Watching Kondo's departing back, Toshi suddenly realized: "Thinking carefully, Kondo-san isn't wearing anything!"
Kondo instantly turned his head, looking at Toshi with a face full of emotion.
Sougo also acted as if he had just discovered it, looking surprised: "You're right. We were careless!"
"Everyone! Let's give Kondo-san some of the clothes we're wearing! If everyone chips in one item, he'll be able to ward off the cold."
Seeing such a considerate Toshi, Kondo was moved beyond words. I usually take good care of you guys, and you really are my precious subordinates.
A short while later…
"Well then, Kondo-san! Please be careful." Toshi and Sougo waved goodbye once again.
"Yeah…" Wearing eight pairs of gloves, Kondo lowered his head expressionlessly, responded, turned around, and continued walking while whispering: "Though they're all gloves…"
When he passed by Katsura, Katsura, who had his eyes closed the whole time, handed over the snowball on his head: "If you underestimate the severity of the winter mountains, you'll lose your life. Take this and wear it!"
Looking at Katsura holding the snowball and giving a thumbs-up, Kondo gave a moved chuckle, and then… he picked up Katsura and threw him straight down the mountain!
Ignoring Katsura's screams, Toshi and the others turned away expressionlessly, thinking to themselves: "Now we must challenge the limits. In this isolated land where even mutual trust can easily crumble, can we survive?" ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahaha, is this Katsura a talent on the same level as Aqua? I can't grasp his thoughts at all. He's beautiful yet such an idiot!"
"I don't know if you guys will survive, but Kondo looks like he's about to die. Poor gorilla, he's going to freeze to death in the wilderness."
Wait… It's obvious that you guys aren't the ones challenging the limits! Everyone listened to Toshi's monologue with dark lines on their faces. You're giving yourselves way too much credit.
Clearly, in this snowy wasteland, wearing only underwear and eight pairs of gloves, Kondo is the one truly challenging the limits.
.....
〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜
"This needs 'careful thinking'… Hahaha. You should know without thinking at all!"
Iori Kitahara was sprawled on the table, shaking with laughter.
Something as obvious as Kondo wearing nothing—they actually had to "think carefully" about it. So they really didn't notice before!
"No, it seems like you really do have to think carefully about it."
Kohei pondered for a moment, then spoke to Iori:
"Do you remember if you're wearing clothes right now?"
Iori pushed himself up from the table:
"What nonsense are you talking? I…"
At this point, Iori was suddenly stunned! He was so used to being naked from playing Yakyuu-ken that when asked, he actually did have to think about it.
Ignoring Iori, who was currently questioning his life, Azusa-senpai was also doubled over laughing:
"Please, be human for once. All gloves? That's too much… Hahaha."
Everyone chipping in one item of clothing sounds fine, but… how mean can you get? To give nothing but gloves. At least give him a pair of socks! Now he looks even more like a gorilla.
〜Gintama World〜
Kondo looked at Toshi and Sougo with a face like he was about to cry:
"Forget about the Yorozuya bunch, but… did you guys really not notice?"
"Of course! We are all filled with respect for you."
Sougo and Toshi's expressions didn't change at all, acting as if it were only natural.
Toshi puffed on his cigarette and thought seriously,
"It must be because you appear naked too often around here. Subconsciously, we thought it was just your nature."
As expected of Hijikata-san's bluffing skills, Sougo praised in his heart before adding with perfect chemistry:
"Just like how gorillas aren't supposed to wear clothes in the first place, it just blended into our subconscious."
"Is that so? Then I'm really sorry."
Kondo believed them completely and began to reflect on his own faults.
Toshi and Sougo glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief… Luckily, Kondo-san is easy to fool. Look, he's even thanking us.
