"Careful" I held Miriko by the hand when the ground shook again. "Ah thanks nee-san but it really is strange having earthquakes so frequently for the past few days" she said steadying herself. "I hope this isn't the work of Amantos" Kiriko said while delivering the food to the customers. "I hope the same" I said taking a puff from my pipe.
At evening
"Welcome" I said in my usual customer friendly voice. It was an old guy with lack of hair on the top. "Hello, what would you like to have sir?" I asked him, smiling sweetly. "Can you give me your cheapest wine please?" he asked, his eyes showing no signs of life. "Of course, have a seat please" I said showing him his seat.
"Wel- oh it's you" my smile instantly dropped seeing the familiar silver haired guy. "Hey, that's not how you should treat your customers, Hanae-chan" Gintoki smirked at me. "I'll consider you one when you've paid your bills" I said going towards the counter. "It's the same for me" he said before seating beside the old guy.
A mountain red bean bowl. Even the thought of it made me puke while I carried the food to him. But there are some weird people with weird tastes afterall. The two talked for a while before Gintoki walked out the restaurant. "Excuse me, miss..." the old guy looked at me nervously. "It's alright Sir. Feel free to come again" I said giving him a sweet smile. "And 'Kintoki', you certainly are not welcomed here" I said, intentionally changing his name because it pisses him off. "Later, Ha-na-e - chan~" he replied with a wink. Urgh this guy!
Next Day
"Nee-san look!" Kiriko said pointing towards the television. "Oh Samba, I dance the Kato-ken samba for a little while.." the singer sang while dancing. "It's that oldie from yesterday! Wasn't he poor?" Miriko said looking shocked. "Maybe. But now he seems well doesn't he?" I smiled at them. He looks full of life now I thought while reading the newspaper.
