Surely, there must be more interesting things to do than protecting the shogun.

Besides that's especially too dull when you're in a festival. Time to spice things up. But first...

"What? I told you guys to take a dump before leaving the compound. You're just going to-"

"It can't be helped, Toshi, let him go. Sphincters have the tendency to fail you just a second you thought it could support you towards the end."

"Uh, no, isn't that just yours, Kondou-san? Oi, Sougo, you-"

"Oh, it looks like the guys at the top want some takoyaki. Yamazaki! Instead of playing badminton, why don't you buy-"

The dump story should buy him the whole time they'll be here. Takoyaki, huh? Now he feel like buying one. Grilled squid doesn't sound so bad either. After he bought one from a nearby stall, he rounded to a corner to escape the boredom and the urge to sleep. Festivals are something he couldn't pass. It's something that his sister enjoyed, made his day a little bit lively and let his sadistic urges annoy random people, especially couples who're lovey-dovey and are all over each other.

Maybe he'll find some interesting people too, like that Takasugi Shinsuke, another rebel that may be associated with Katsura Kotarou...

Just before he turn, in the midst of all the noise and among the crowd, he heard a rather happy voice. "... What's up with you two? A date? Hahaha!"

Maybe it's his inner sadist self that wants to cut down the joy in that raspy voice and get his dose of pleasure from annoying a couple's night.

He easily sauntered through the crowd and watched as China girl and Glasses boy talk to Madao.

Festivals are so fun and so colorful and so many games and more foods!

She wished Sadaharu was here to play with her and Saburo but Gin-chan and Patsuan said something about crowds and scaring people away.

"Aah, stop with the teary eyes! And you look like the ugly duckling if you pout like that!"

"Gin-san, Kagura-chan is just sad that Sadaharu is not here. How about giving her some money to play games? That'll cheer her up."

"What are you talking about, Patsuan? She'll bankrupt us by buying every food in every stalls- What, I swear I just saw her grin! It's the devil's grin, Pachi!"

"I'll be taking your wallet, you have enough to drink sake with Gengai-san anyway. We'll be back!"

After hearing some screams of agony and seeing an old man pat the silver perm's shoulder in sympathy, the two smiled devilishly to each other as their eyes twinkled with so many things they could do for what little time they have. Their lazy bum of a boss should know that they have power and right to spend every single cent in his wallet without caring about the said boss. Besides, that silver perm had always been too soft to them, even though no one mentions it.

Festivals in Earth are a little different from Rakuyo's and she's going to discover more about them.

Just like how she discovered MADAO was actually working at something somewhere. "Oh, it's old man."

"Tch, it's the snide, foreign girl."

"Isn't that Hasegawa-san? It's been some time since we saw you! Congratulations on finding a job!"

"Ahaha, yeah, what's up with you two? A date? Hahaha!"

She was about to ask Glasses beside her how exactly a date works in here when he changed topic to the shooting game.

Kagura put her grilled corn in her mouth and excitedly thought that fun never ends in a festival. Until a certain sadist officer wordlessly challenged her.

Sougo once dreamed of being a sniper. And Kagura is already familiar because of her advanced umbrella. It's actually fair since he's been training with his own bazooka and to beat this Yato girl not by bare fists but by a weapon they both are familiar with just makes his body scream 'challenge' and 'surpass'.

Kagura is easily provoked and incredibly competitive. They both are, actually, but must he really shoot at her eyed price? He always come unannounced to whatever she's doing and there's no way she'll miss the chance to make her stand - whatever challenge it is, she will not be beaten down easily.

"I hit your beard!"

"Got your coat."

"Gimme your nipple!"

:

Really...

Seriously.

Just when things are heated up, just when things are in their hands, there brewed trouble nearby that interrupted their fun.

And what's a sadist and Yato girl gotta do? Wreak havoc and join in the fray, of course. As well as to beat some kill-joy asses who dared to interrupt their-

Their whatever it is.

"The terrible ones who destroyed the festival-"

"Who. Was. It?"

"Oh, the demon avengers of the festival! They're age-old demons who punish people that ruins the festival!"

"No, I don't think so." At least, we got two times our manpower arrived.

The beauty of the festive spirit...

The adrenaline from that game...

"The gods of festival arrived! Victory is ours!"

June 12,2019 - Dororo 2019 is ending, Gintama is ending, vacation days are ending, it's like my world is falling apart.

I hoped I made it but I forgot when I started the countdown to update so... forgive me?

Chapter with the highest number, what an accomplishment. Anyway, thank you for staying with me. I might not update for a while but I hope it will not take up to a month because that's just unfair.

I think I'll update my other story next... or not, who knows
