Chapter 21: Bittergiggle:
Yoshiko's POV:
I was having dinner with Benjiro. His jokes were terrible, but he was still a charming man. "So, he answered your calls yet," asks Benjiro.
"No," I said, "I'm really worried!"
"Tell you what," says Benjiro, "I'll talk to him!"
"Really," I asked.
"Sure," says Benjiro.
"Thank you." I then kissed him on the cheek.
Benjiro's POV:
The sooner I get Bassaam to agree to this deal, the sooner I get my hands on her fortune! I then snuck into Banban's Kindergarten. "Now, to find Bassaam!"
Banban's POV:
"What does her royal highness want now," I asked.
"She demands a new jester," says Sir Dadadoo, "the previous ones you made for her... didn't go well!"
He's right, all their jokes are bad! "Fine, I'll find her something," I said.
Benjiro's POV:
"This place is like a maze," I said, "how can I impress Yoshiko enough to use her for her money if I can't find her friend and convince him to make that deal?"
"Is that a fact?" I then turned around and saw this devil like thing. "Hello!"
I then screamed like a little gir... I mean... like a full-grown man and I ran! He chased after me!
. . .
I hid in this room. I looked around and saw all these caged monsters. The toad monster tried to reach out for me, but I ran out!
. . .
I have to find Bassaam and get out of here... for get Bassaam! I have to skip to the getting out of here part!
. . .
I ran through this endless abyss. It was a long way down! Then I looked and saw something. I looked up and I saw this worm with a scribbled face. "Hola!" I ran again!
. . .
I tried to find an exit, but I couldn't! I then ran into that devil. "What do you know about Yoshiko?"
"Please," I said, "don't take me to Hell!"
"I'm not the Devil, I'm Banban!"
"B-but that's not possible," I said, "Banban's just a character made for this kindergarten! What did you do to Bassaam?"
"First, tell me about Yoshiko!"
"I-I'm trying to woo her so I can marry her and get her money," I said.
He then knocked me out...
. . .
I woke up in a test tube. I saw him looking at me. "We have to stop this at some point, Bassaam!"
"This guy deserves it, Tsukinomi!"
I then realized Banban is Bassaam! I tried to get out, but too late...
. . .
I then woke up and I was green and purple! My arm was some kind of snake! "Where am I," I asked.
"You are now Bittergiggle," says Banban, "welcome to your new life as Queen Bouncelia's jester! Now, tell her a joke!"
I took a look at myself. "Knock-knock," I said.
"Who's there," asks Queen Bouncelia.
"Me," I said, "forever!"
To Be Continued
Bassaam AKA Banban actually loves Yoshiko for who she is and not what she is. In the next chapter, Josuke becomes Jumbo Josh.
