Destined To Love You

Chapter 11

~At Abu-sama's mansion...

Abu: Well, it's been a long time since we last saw each other, huh, Shiroyasha..

- He stared at the white perm who was busy eating a chocolate parfait.

Gin: Hmm?

Abu: *sigh* You didn't change a bit.. You still don't listen to me..

- Gin suddenly stopped eating his parfait.

Gin: I did change. I just don't want you to call me by that name again.

Abu: Okay.. If that's what you want.

Gin: By the way, what are you doing here in Edo?

Abu: Well, since I'm considered as the "King of Sweets", why not try expanding my business in other aspects such as parfaits and ice cream, hmm?

Gin: Hmm.. That's not a bad idea, but... why did you even bother making me come here?

- Abu stood up, facing the window, and looked up in the sky.

Abu: You see, Gintoki... When you used to work under me, you always give comments about the taste of my products. Those really helped me a lot. So now that I'll be opening an ice cream parlor here, I was wondering if you could be the manager...

Gin: Huh? But why me?

Abu: You have the skills, Gintoki! I know you will be great for this business..

Gin: Well, you see.. I'm a teacher now and I don't think I could-

Abu: I understand you're a busy person now... But if you could just help us out.. It's okay if it's just during weekends or if you have free time.. I could pay you double! I really need your expertise.. Gintoki...

- Gin put his hand on his chin.

Gin: Hmm... I'll do it.. In one condition..

Abu: Sure! What is it?

- With a straight face, Gintoki stared at Abu-sama.

"Finally! Now we're done cleaning the house!" - Kagura then sat on the newly polished floor.

Sougo: Oi! Don't sit on the floor! It will get dirty..
