"We need to split in teams of 3 to search the place" Kamehashi said. Immediately all of them except the 2 geezers who were as slow as snails stood beside me. "Huh? Wait. This doesn't mean splitting into groups of 3. But it doesn't matter, leave the fighting to me" i said. "Wait, to make things fair let's use this! My very own-" Kamehashi said taking out a gadget. "That's a scouter from DBZ! Who are you fooling?!" Shinpachi shouted. "A-Ahem, I'll be measuring your fighting level now" Kamehashi said as he looked at each of us using that scouter. "Oh my.. the value is decreasing at an accelerating rate! It isn't stopping! Oh wow! This is-" and the scouter in his hand blasted when he was taking my measurement. Suddenly from our behind people were firing at us. "Everyone scatter!" I shouted before going towards the enemy. "Hanae-san, you go as well. Let me take care of them" Kamehashi said. "No-" "Heh, count me in as well" Hasegawa-san stood beside him. "No seriously-" those two old men shouted as they charged at the enemies before rolling down the building. Ugh well i hope they died. The enemies brought their attention back to me. "Alright then, let's have some fun shall we?"
"Even after all that shouting, you guys disappoint me" i said throwing the last guy on top of the pile of unconscious bodies. Now then, let's do what we were supposed to. I took off and went to search for Otae. After a few trial and errors, i found her along with Kagura and Kyubei who were fighting off the enemies. Right when Otae was about to be hit from behind, i kicked the man away. "Hanae-san!" Otae beamed seeing me. "Glad to see you're alright" i patted her head before focusing on the enemies on hand. "Another bitch has arrived! How dare you lay your foot on my palace?! Guards! Forget those girls and finish her! She can't be kept alive as long as I'm here!" a fat looking woman shouted while pointing her finger at me. So that's the Otohime? i cocked my eyebrows at Otae to which she nodded with a sigh. Uh not what i was expecting honestly. Yeah, she lived for 3000 years but- anyways back to the field! "Come and get me yourself, old hag!" i said with a smirk. "Guards! Bring me her head! NOW!" Otohime shouted before walking away.
"You guys so after her. I'll keep the guards in check" i said pushing the girls towards the old hag. "But-" "Just get going you 3!" at my pushing, the 3 of them rushed after Otohime. "Bold of you to make those 3 go away. Now who will save you?" the men walked towards me with their spears hungrily. "Heh, you make me laugh. Before jumping into conclusions, think. Who will save you from me?" the men flinched under my gaze and took a step back. "D-Don't worry! It's just o-one woman! We'll bring her head to Otohime!" one of them shouted before all of them charged at me. "Foolish men" i muttered under my breath before looking at them. "I might as well fulfill your desires!" i gave a deadly smile before charging at them with my spear as well.
A fight didn't last more than two minutes. Oops, i used a bit too much of my strength.. anyways, let's check on what's going inside. I walked carefully so that i don't step on any of the unconscious bodies. Alright, this isn't helping. The shells are hard right? Even the bullets couldn't pierce it. That's a better idea. I jumped slightly on the shells on the way before finally crossing the sea of bodies. I hurriedly walked towards the room where they went but it was already too late. My body started getting weak and tired. "Oh no.. " i dropped on the floor as i realized we were too late. "Oh yes, now the whole world will be a place full of old people! And only me! I will be the fairest, prettiest woman in the world. Now, no one can-" i heard Otohime gasp causing me to look at her. "How are they able to do it..? They're only old men.. I-Impossible.." she fumbled over her words as she looked at the large screen. Gintoki! Katsura! I dry laughter escaped my lips.
"What are you laughing about, you bitch!" Otohime glared at me. "Those are the people whom you dismissed as ugly and useless" i put my hands on the ground as i tried to stand up "Try stopping them if you can" Almost halfway there! "No matter how wrinkled they are, no matter how bent their backs become, you'll never break their upright sword! They are the people that i love with my heart! Try stopping them.. by all means" i finally stood straight. "Y-You.. how DARE YOU?!" she came at me with her fist. No unnecessary movements, Hanae I slightly shifted my body causing her to fall on the floor. "URGH! YOU'LL REGRET IT! JUST YOU WAIT!" shouting those words, Otohime ran out of the room. Seriously..? Give me a break, i just stood up. I tried stretching my body but only could do 15% of usual. "More than enough i guess" i mumbled before going after her. Let's say my running pace was the same pace as an average person walking. Still better than nothing, right?
