Continuation of the prologue:
Kagura rolled her cerulean eyes at Sougo's smirk. Way to ruin her vibe. "What's this? I thought you need my service as the one who will "taint" your reputation so that your infamous spotlight will wear off and now we're talking about a deal? A deal within a job? Are you messing with me, damn idiot?"
Is this guy for real? Kagura looked at Sougo incredulously as if the sadist confessed that he is a cow in his past life.
Sougo can't blame her reaction though because even him thought that his proposal is a bit ridiculous to be called as a job request for the ridiculousness of Gintoki Sakata's Odd Jobs.
But, he is prepared for this situation.
"Now, now, China, I'm disappointed in you. I thought you're up to the challenge but I haven't said the whole deal and you're already declining it?" Sougo taunted. The sadist knows that taunting her is one of her weakness and he almost clapped his hand when he saw the shift of fury in her eyes. She's so easy to read.
Bull's-eye!
"Huh?! Who told you that I'm turning down your job request?" She fumed. The sadist is mocking her and she can't accept it. Nobody looks down on her. No one.
She's not that idiot to realize that there's something fishy about sadist's job offer but even if she's unknowingly putting herself in Okita Sougo's trap, she won't back down. Her pride won't let it. She will do her job and the sadist will watch her do it with ease.
If she's ever trapped, she's confident that she will find a way to get out of it. Like they always do in Yorozuya. Heck, if they can escape from the infamous Nobunobu back then, then this is just like walking in Kabukichou Park.
She doesn't know what he's playing but she's ready to fire back if necessary. Actually, she'd fire back gladly. After all, they're talking about the sadist here.
"Does that mean... you're accepting the deal within the job?" Sadist's eyes twinkled in mischief. She never paid attention to his boring eyes before but now that she did, she saw a glint of mystery hiding behind those crimson eyes.
"Bring it on, baka-sadist!" She said and smack her palm on the table to get her point across the smirking idiot.
"That's my China girl."
"Tch. Die, sadist." She countered totally ignorant about the fact that she REALLY put herself in a trap. Okita Sougo's trap.
AND AN OBVIOUS ONE AT THAT.
"If I die then you won't get the money, idiot pig." Sougo counters much to Kagura's chagrin.
Kagura formulated plans for this odd job right after her meeting with the sadist police officer.
Bad mouthing her eternal rival while getting paid doing it? Ha! It's like hitting two stones with one bird.
Wait. No. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Yes, that's it.
She'll contact the sadist once she thinks of something, to start her job. Of course she can do it without the client but the baka-sadist insisted that he'll be part of her scheme in the excuse of 'so i can make sure you are doing your job properly'.
"He's one to talk. As if that tax robber works for his salary." She muttered mockingly.
She didn't tell Gin-chan and Shinpachi about her job because she doesn't want them to meddle and foil her perfect plans.
'Hmph. Get ready, sadist, for your downfall.' She thought evilly.
