You weren't sure whether or not to be concerned for yourself, or for the girl who was sleeping on the hard wooden floor just outside the Yorozuya household. It was an incredibly cold morning to the point where her snot bubble was frozen. You thought she might've been a drunk who just so happened to stumble up the stairs, but she looked way too young to even be of drinking age.

"[name]-san?" Shinpachi called out from behind you. He had just arrived as well, "Good morning...? Who's the girl?"

"I have no clue. I don't think I've ever seen her around before. Maybe she's a client?" the boy crouched down in front of the sleeping girl and tried to wake her.

"Uh, excuse me. You'll catch a cold if you sleep here. Excuse me. Your snot has frozen." Cue the snot bubble falling from her nose onto the floor. But the second it shattered, the girl woke up and stabbed the wall behind her with a hidden sword.

"Yikes!" she exclaimed, "It's a raid!" Yourself and Shinpachi flew back a few metres to avoid getting hit by any broken wooden planks.

"What the–?!" you covered half your face with a sleeve, "What on Earth are you doing?"

The sweet-looking girl was now standing. Without her cape that she had used as a blanket, you could finally see her figure. She was quite petite and wore a pink kimono that was shortened. One thing you also noticed was—that grin she had plastered on her face never faltered.

"Which gang are you two from? If you try to lay a finger on my Bro, I'll make some bright red flowers," she then unsheathed her sword and held it beside her.

"What are you babbling about?!" Shinpachi shouted, clinging onto your shoulder. "What a moment here!" The girl raised her sword above her head and was about to strike at Shinpachi. Thankfully, you were able to pull him backwards a bit and avoid the trajectory of the sword.

However, it seems like your action was unnecessary since Kagura's sudden appearance prevented the unknown girl's attack. Kagura had kicked the wooden door down and the girl had popped right through the middle of it, with half her body sticking out. She seemed to be unharmed.

"It's too early for all this noise," Kagura rubbed her eyes and walked back inside.

。。。

After helping Kagura get dressed (more so forcing her to wake up and get ready), you two went downstairs to meet the new girl who was currently introducing herself to Otose. However, it wasn't the usual 'hi, my name is...' she was introducing herself as a new member of the Yorozuya.

"I apologise for my behaviour earlier," Pirako didn't blink once. "I didn't realise that you were Aniki's number one underling," she glanced from Shinpachi towards yourself, "and that you were his number one woman!"

"Excuse me?" you cringed at her words.

"I'll make up for it by cutting off my pinky," Pirako grabbed her blade and held up her hand. Gintoki walked up from behind her and pulled the hair that was sticking out of her head.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?" he then lifted her by the hair and brought her towards the exit, "I have nothing to do with organised crime. And I don't want any underlings. And I told you to get lost already!"

"You're tearing out my hair!" she swung back and forth in the air, "The two of us can become the bosses of the underworld, Aniki! I have nowhere else to go!"

"What's with her?" Shinpachi muttered.

"Seems like they met each other yesterday. I wonder what exactly Pirako-chan wants," you said.

Otose then spoke up, "You come from a gang? I've heard rumours. The Uekibachi gang was having a business quarrel with Jirocho's people. When a fight broke out, there was a crazy girl who took out the whole lot by herself. Her name was Pirako the killer."
