"Do you have Miss Mogami's contact information?" asked the director.
He really liked Kyoko Mogami, a very hardworking host, but being late for such a long time would cause trouble for everyone.
Even the guests were already in place, but the host hadn't arrived yet.
"Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" has now entered its second season, and some of the regular guests have been replaced.
Chef Komatsu has his own restaurant, so he doesn't need such a program to advertise his restaurant. It's not easy to participate in the filming of one season. Towa Ma from "Pantasia" and Tennoji Mari from "Tennoji Dessert House" also left the crew.
In Tokyo, they are all top chefs in their respective fields, and it is difficult to find chefs of the same level. But it doesn’t matter, the crew does not need real cooking skills, but more importantly, the show effect.
"I'm so sorry to have wasted your time today, Miss Apsalar!"
Today’s special guest providing the refrigerator is Apsalar, the popular singing star “Virgo Goddess”, who is undoubtedly a first-line popular star.
Even the director had no choice but to apologize.
Fortunately, Apsalar did not blame her, as she did not have the temper of those big stars.
Kyoko Mogami doesn't have an agent, and the stage manager called her cell phone, but no one answered.
"Could something have happened?"
Some people are so worried because they can't think of any reason why Miss Kyoko would be absent from work.
"There's nothing we can do. Let's change people." The director decided, "Well, call Shinpachi."
"Xinba?" Zhu Li didn't hear clearly.
"Shimura Shinpachi, the one who played the role of the Rakugo group. He was the host, the one with the glasses!"
"Oh, it's glasses!"
That makes it clear.
In order to avoid performance accidents, the crew usually has backup guests and hosts.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Gintoki, who had already sat down, stood up again.
"Sorry, Director, I seem to have a stomachache from the yogurt I ate. I probably won't be able to host the show today. I need to go to the bathroom. Well, since we need to change the host anyway, please change them together."
"Hey, Gin-san, hey! Sakata Gintoki you bastard, the toilet is not over there!"
"Ah? Then I'll just go for a short walk to increase bowel movements, and I think my stomach will feel better."
"Wouldn't that just be pulled on the body?"
"It doesn't matter what. Director, are you a nagging old man in his seventies or eighties? No problem."
Gintoki ignored the director's scolding and walked out on his own.
No one stopped him.
"What should I do, Director?"
"What else can we do? Go find someone." Gintoki is a fool, so is his assistant also a fool?
"Could it be that the company still can't find two backup hosts? That guy didn't even come up with a better excuse, he actually said the sponsor's yogurt would make people sick!"
Today is a normal working day. After the rush hour for going to work and school, the roads are much quieter. The beasts that have returned to their cages are making a fuss in the school.
"So, based on everyone's vote, our class's project for this school's open day has been decided!"
The class monitor's voice brought Lingye back to his senses.
She was just daydreaming, she admitted. Class meetings were always boring.
Although her academic performance was top in the class and her family background was even top, Ling did not hold any position in the class. This was her own request, as she did not want to bother with it.
At this moment, she saw what was written on the blackboard and felt fortunate that Sakura was not in their class.
Because what was written on the blackboard was a haunted house.
Generally speaking, school festivals are only held in high schools or universities and are rare in junior high schools. However, Tomoeda Elementary School is an aristocratic school after all, and this year is their last academic year in school.
I am about to say goodbye to this school where I have studied for six years. Winter vacation is just over a month away, and after that, next year's spring vacation will mean graduation.
According to the custom of Tomoeda Elementary School, the sixth grade will choose a weekend to hold an open day event on campus.
When voting, Ling also chose to hold a concert because she saw that Chiyo wrote that.
Unfortunately, the concert was not that attractive to the sixth graders. I didn’t expect that the final choice would be the haunted house.
Ling is not afraid of ghosts either.
This is the truth. She may have been afraid before, but now she understands.
The so-called ghosts and souls are the ones that their living relatives want to see again even at all costs. Therefore, if you really see them by chance, it would be too rude to hold a pure fear in your heart.
It is better to do it with awe and blessing.
"Let's put our heads together and design a haunted house that will scare even adults to tears!" The monitor spoke with great enthusiasm on the podium, prompting many people in the audience to reconsider.
At this time, Tomoyo, who was sitting diagonally opposite Reiya, turned around.
"Do you want to invite Sakura to the open day?"
Well, that's a real problem.
Just as he said, Sakata Gintoki was walking on the streets of Tokyo. But his pace was a bit fast, somewhere between walking and jogging.
He just went to Kyoko's rental house, which was a low-rent apartment arranged by the company. Kyoko, who did not come to record the show, was not at home.
I thought she was sick, but now it seems that she is not. Or maybe she went to the hospital because she was too sick?
But the phone call was not working, which made people feel abnormal. Gintoki couldn't think of where she would go.
For a moment, Gintoki didn't know where to go.
"Oh no, Gintoki, I've lost my way in life."
Having said that, there were quite a few people surrounding Gintoki at the moment, all asking for his autograph.
As the host of an entertainment show, now in its second season, although it’s hard to believe he has quite a few fans, most of whom are housewives.
It is well known that weekday mornings are also the time when housewives go out to the streets.
He was surrounded, trapped in the vortex of terror called housewives. He didn't know how many names he signed, and he didn't know who tore his clothes. In short, under the hail of bullets, Yin Sang finally hid in a quiet place.
"You are Uncle Gintoki, right?"
For a moment Gintoki thought he had been found by the aunts again, but when he looked more closely he realized it was a young boy.
"What? Call me brother!"
"Brother Gintoki!" The boy changed his words quickly, forcing Gintoki, who originally wanted to use his knuckles to test the hardness of the other's skull, to give up.
"It's class time now, isn't it? Why aren't you going to school, little brat? Gin-san, I love going to the PTA (Parents' Association) to complain to the mothers the most."
"I don't have a mother."
This sentence made Gintoki speechless.
"But I have a sister, her name is Yoko. My sister raised me since I was a child, just the two of us. My sister took good care of me."
"Little boy, I don't have time to listen to family dramas. Adults are always busy with many things."
"My name is not Xiaogui, my name is Qingyan. I know who you are looking for. You are looking for Sister Kyoko, right? I know where she is."
Gintoki, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard this, a little surprised.
"You're kidding. If an adult is fooled, terrible things like 'a child's butt will burst' will happen."
Qingyan was not frightened.
"Normally, Sister Yoko and I sell sweet potatoes on the street every night to supplement our family income. Sister Yoko is getting married soon and needs a lot of expenses. We met Sister Kyoko on this street last night, around 10 o'clock in the evening. She said she just got off work and bought a sweet potato from us."
It was past ten o'clock, and Gintoki thought about it and realized that it was indeed the time when they finished filming yesterday.
"Please, refrigerator! My sister and I love to see it. We like you and Kyoko. I thought Kyoko would not like our baked sweet potatoes after having eaten so many good things, but she said they were delicious yesterday."
"After that, I saw Sister Kyoko enter an apartment that hadn't been built yet. She said that was the house she bought and her future home. But she didn't come out after that."
Qingyan swallowed his saliva and was a little afraid to say the next words.
"And, and I saw it."
"What did you see?"
"I saw a celestial being, I think it was called a celestial being. I saw a celestial being falling from the sky and landing in that house."
What Qingyan didn't say was that his sister's soon-to-be brother-in-law was the worker who built the apartment. In order to meet the deadline, he had been working overnight in recent days. After yesterday, the future brother-in-law seemed to have become a different person.
The same face, the same appearance, but I always felt that something was different. Not only was he fierce and cold, he smashed the sweet potato that his sister had given him for breakfast that morning, and he became uncommunicative.
Like, yeah, a robot.
"Brother Gintoki, you will believe me, right? I told my sister, but she didn't believe me at all. She said that my brother-in-law was just too tired. People get tired sometimes and their tempers get bad. I also told the policeman patrolling on the road, but he didn't believe me either. He wanted to arrest me and take me to school. I even called the ZAT team, but even they didn't believe me."
The person who answered his call was Bei Dao, who completely thought he was a naughty kid who had called the police without permission.
"Hey, kid... Kiyohiko, what will you do if I don't believe you either?"
"I...I want to go to that apartment and find out what's going on. Even if I'm alone, I can't let my sister get hurt. My brother-in-law might have turned into an alien. I can't let my sister marry an alien!"
"Well, it's really rare that there is still a boy here who has preserved the 'Soul of a Samurai'. I have said it before, when the sky where the Samurai galloped their dreams was occupied by the gods. At this time, we must remember the 'Soul of a Samurai' even more!"
Being a warrior is not about glory, it is about responsibility.
Chapter 453: Haunted House
When Gintoki followed Kiyohiko to the apartment building, it was eerily quiet inside.
There was no sign of any construction work in broad daylight.
"At this time of day, the construction site is already busy. Brother Yanping and his team start work before 7 a.m. every day. Because the construction period is very tight, the contractor said that if we can complete it on time, we will give everyone a bonus."
Iwatsubo is the name of Kiyohiko's sister's fiancé.
He used to be a very kind person. He was very enthusiastic whether he was with his sister, Qingyan, or dealing with outsiders.
This "past" is not a long-term word, it describes the period before today. Everything was normal until last night when I brought midnight snack to my brother Yanping.
In order to support the family after marrying his sister, Iwatsubo worked very hard every day, from early morning to midnight. Because his sister was afraid that he would be too tired, she took Kiyohiko to the street every night to sell sweet potatoes, hoping to reduce the burden on Iwatsubo.
My sister and Iwatsubo brother are both very good people. I sincerely wish them to be together.
But everything changed this morning. No, it was last night, after they had delivered the midnight snack and left.
