Curly-Haired Boy: "Pudding? It's already this late, and you're still eating pudding? This is extremely irresponsible, Eriri-chan. You must be punished for this behavior. Upload your pudding here immediately!"
Book Artist: "[Picture]"
Curly-Haired Boy: "Asshole, are you looking down on me? I asked you to upload the pudding, not a photo! And the most important thing is—you actually posted a photo of a half-eaten pudding?"
Shark-Faced Guy: "Are you just greedy?"
Curly-Haired Boy: "Hah! How is that possible? I said it was a punishment, don't you understand?"
Shark-Faced Guy: "The 'punishment' is to steal other people's pudding?"
Curly-Haired Boy: "Shut up, you damn shark-face! Just be a shark and make sashimi quietly. Don't add drama to your life without permission, got it?"
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "Stealing pudding? Gintoki is becoming more and more useless. Even if you were unreliable before, you wouldn't have stooped this low."
Curly-Haired Boy: "That's because I wasn't in jail before! [Picture]"
The group members clicked the image. In the photo, Sakata Gintoki was indeed wearing prison stripes, complete with handcuffs and shackles.
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "?"
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "?"
Book Artist: "Because of that duel with Kondo Isao? Did you actually go to prison?"
Curly-Haired Boy: "What else? Damn it, I'm going away for two months over such a small thing. Those tax-thieves are definitely taking revenge! I'm filing a formal complaint!"
Shark-Faced Guy: "I doubt it. You beat the Director half to death. Two months is a lenient sentence."
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "Indeed. If someone were to do that to Anran-san, I would probably kill them."
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "Konan-neesan, your premise is flawed. In the entire shinobi world, who is even capable of hurting Anran-san?"
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "If it were Nagato, he might get hurt."
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "Nagato is an adult; he can take care of himself."
Book Artist: "Phew! Such blatant discrimination! If Nagato knew, he'd cry! He'd definitely cry!"
Curly-Haired Boy: "Pudding! Give me pudding! I can't live without pudding!"
Book Artist: "I've finished it. [Picture]"
Curly-Haired Boy: "You really did it on purpose, you little brat! Fine, if there's no pudding, at least give me a dirty magazine!"
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "Ugh, a man who only thinks with his lower body. Still, he's much better than some of the hypocrites I've met."
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "Mochou-neesan, your tone sounds very heavy when you say that."
This is an Actor: "Have you encountered many hypocrites lately?"
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "Yes, like this one. [Picture]"
Book Artist: "Judging from the photo, this person looks quite handsome?"
The man in the image was indeed handsome, dressed in pristine white robes with the air of a refined gentleman.
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "I met this man in Lantian County, and he left a deep impression on me. You wouldn't be able to tell by looking, but he's a human trafficker. He specializes in kidnapping girls from decent families, breaking their will through starvation and beatings, and then selling them to brothels."
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "That is too much! Truly despicable!"
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "People like that deserve only death."
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "I agree. So I killed him. Then I wiped out his entire sect."
At that moment, Li Mochou was standing in a secluded courtyard, a blood-stained sword in her hand. Corpses lay scattered across the ground in a gruesome mess. Bright red blood pooled into small streams, and the faces of the dead still clung to expressions of panic and desperate pleading.
Because the scene was too visceral, Li Mochou chose not to send a photo of the aftermath to the group.
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "Wow, is Mochou-neesan planning to become a messenger of justice? So cool!"
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "It just happened to be the right time. Encountering such a thing made me physically ill."
Li Mochou didn't consider herself a hero. Though her outlook had changed, she felt the weight of the innocent blood she had previously shed could never truly be washed away.
Book Artist: "I understand. Just hearing about it makes me sick. But in that era, it's impossible to prevent such filth, right?"
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "Exactly. Those so-called Jianghu people aren't supervised by the courts. They do whatever they want!"
This is an Actor: "It is not impossible to prevent."
Book Artist: "?"
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "What should I do?"
This is an Actor: "Feudal societies are generally ruled by men. All you have to do is become the one who writes the rules."
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "The one who writes the rules? The leader of the martial arts world?"
This is an Actor: "You could be the martial arts leader, or you could be the Emperor. It depends on your ambition."
Curly-Haired Boy: "Emperor? Hey, isn't that a bit much? Is that even possible?"
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "Mochou's power alone might not suffice, but we are a team. Once the group upgrades and activates the travel function, we will be invincible!"
Book Artist: "Anran-san, she's stealing your lines!"
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "Humph. I'm his person; what's the big deal if I borrow a line?"
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "Good grief, that actually makes sense! I can't even refute it!"
Curly-Haired Boy: "Outrageous! Simply outrageous! I can't watch this! Master Aizen, can you tolerate this? Why don't you teach this woman a lesson?"
This is an Actor: "Which 'lesson' are you referring to?"
Curly-Haired Boy: "Well, you know exactly what I mean!"
[System Message: Curly-Haired Boy has been banned from the group for 1 minute.]
Book Artist: "Humph, you deserved that! How dare you instigate Anran-san to do something unpleasant? That's just a brotherhood act!"
This is an Actor: "Indeed. Such things could only happen once I am at least eighteen years old."
Shark-Faced Guy: "?"
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "?"
Book Artist: "Anran-san, there is something wrong with you! Even after you turn eighteen, that isn't the point!"
[System Message: Makoto-kun laughed at you and asked to join the group.]
Scarlet Snake Fairy: "A newcomer? This name..."
Book Artist: "It's so weird. I feel like this person is mocking us."
This is an Actor: "Should I just kick him?"
Just by looking at the username, Aizen already knew the person's identity. This newcomer had no right to be a part of his family; he was the sort of presence that would only cause disgust.
Skirt-Lifting Maniac: "Kick him? Isn't that a bit harsh?"
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "Is this a character you're familiar with, Anran-san? Is he truly that bad?"
This is an Actor: "Ah, worse than you're imagining."
Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: "I understand. I trust Anran-san's judgment."
Makoto-kun laughed at you: "Is anyone there? Please, save me! Save me! They're coming—they're going to kill me!"
Book Artist: "Huh?"
This is an Actor: "State your location."
Makoto-kun laughed at you: "Sakakino Academy, I'm in the storage room... Gack!"
[System Message: Group member Makoto-kun has been confirmed dead.]
