The Whisper Passing Through My Lips


Chapter 8 - Fear Comes With Smiles

Someone sitting next to him passed Gintoki a piece of paper during the lesson.

I heard Hijikata made a girl cry again. This time it was a girl from class C.

Gintoki wrote back, Whoaaaa he's definitely every women's enemy, making girls cry like that.

The piece of paper passed around for a while and as Gintoki waited for it to circle around to him again, he tried to hide a small smile from his face.

Gintoki was secretly happy. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding after all, and maybe he has a chance. But truthfully, this opportunity resolved nothing about his original fear - the fear of being denied.

The little ball of paper rolled once again to his desk. Gintoki straightened the scrunched paper and saw a familiar handwriting.

DAMN YOU, PERM! YOU'RE MY NUMBER 1 ENEMY! I STILL HAVEN'T FORGIVEN YOU FOR LUNCH!

Gintoki couldn't help himself from snorting, trying hard to hold back his laughter. The paper it seemed, had passed through the desk of the subject of conversation himself.

LOL. Is 5 bottles of mayonnaise enough?

Gintoki passed the paper and waited.

The reply came quickly this time.

You think you can bribe me with mayo!? 10 bottles and it's water under the bridge.

Gintoki smiled, and folded the piece of paper before he tucked it away into his side pocket.
