Skirt-Flipping Maniac: What the heck, your owner can take you to work?
Lazy Kitten: Uh-huh, already at their workplace.
Doujin Artist: That's crazy, totally crazy! Which job lets you bring a pet? Your owner isn't working at a pet shop!
Lazy Kitten: Pfft! I'm not a pet, I'm her cat master! Sure, to stay undercover... I'm just stuck in her travel bag for now.
Machete Girl: So, cat master, you're getting hauled around in a travel bag right now? By the way, what's it like being stuffed in there?
Lazy Kitten: It's... it's okay, I guess?
It actually feels awful, dark and stuffy. But to keep her glorious cat master image, Qi Luoli could only say it's okay.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: I think you're just acting tough.
Lazy Kitten: It really is okay, I'm not lying! If you don't believe me, try it yourselves!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Nah, better not. Human bodies can't fit in a small travel bag.
Doujin Artist: Ruiko, you forgot Makoto? His final spot wasn't a small travel bag too.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: He only had a head left, okay? Are we supposed to cut our heads off and stuff them in too? It's still daytime, don't tell creepy jokes like that! And you should think about how Kotonoha feels!
Machete Girl: I don't feel anything, hearing Ito Makoto's name is like hearing a stranger.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Good, Kotonoha has the right attitude. Keeping real life totally separate from the anime plot is great.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: True, most of us in the group can't do that.
Curly-haired Guy: What are you saying? Gin-san did it!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: You didn't do it, you forced a split from the original story! Not to break the fate chain, just to dodge responsibility.
Doujin Artist: Right, you just won't admit your thing with that old lady!
Curly-haired Guy: Who the hell had feelings for that old monster? That's historical denial! No proof, don't say creepy stuff like that!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: You know if it's denial or not. Gintama memories have real proof.
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Buddy, just confess. It's no big deal, admitting it won't hurt, right?
Curly-haired Guy: No big deal my ass! It ruins Gin-san's life and future! Admit it and everything's wrecked, damn it!
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Your life now isn't great anyway. Wrecked or not, what's the difference? Lighten up.
Curly-haired Guy: Screw your nonsense, your life's the wrecked one!
This is an Actor: School opening lecture is finally over, I'm back.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Welcome back, dear. Eaten yet?
Doujin Artist: Konan sis, next line if no, you'll eat him first? Don't say that in the group, too cheesy.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Not just cheesy, it's dog food!
Lazy Kitten: Right, we need to band together and fight back!
This is an Actor: Already ate, house elf food tastes good. Their menu's limited though, I'll think of ways to improve it later.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Even fixing their menu? Are you really going to be the dark lord?
Pretty Boy from Skull Island: Same question, feels like you're building Hogwarts.
Amegakure Village's Angel: That's his style, no surprise. Back in Naruto world, he focused hard on cooking and recipes. We just met then, I was shocked inside.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Hahaha, is Aizen nuts? Not conquering the world, just cooking with Tenten!
Amegakure Village's Angel: Pretty much. I complained about it in the group. Later learned Anzen really treats cooking as important as world conquest.
Curly-haired Guy: That's taste, taste! Real demon kings aren't just killers. Their life skills are maxed too!
Doujin Artist: Here we go, licking again! But first, Agin... how's the Harusame Pirates probe going?
Curly-haired Guy: Off today, wig guy's on it.
Wig Guy: Not wig, it's Katsura! Approaching Matsudaira Katagiri now, passed their nanny screening.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: What, what the heck? Nanny screening?
Doujin Artist: No clue how to roast this. You two not teaming up is weird enough. Damn, nanny screening? And you're a guy!
Wig Guy: Disguise is a must for Joi patriots.
Soul Society's Villain: All you Joi guys this skilled? Impressive, learned something today!
Machete Girl: Hahaha, dying laughing! Must-have for Joi patriots, can you stretch more?
Katsura Kotonoha really couldn't hold it in, burst out laughing on the street side. Her heavy fruits shook a bit, sparking wild thoughts.
Good thing it's late night with heavy rain. Otherwise, weird stares everywhere. But due to weather, she's alone at the stop.
Rip.
A green bus rushed through the rain curtain, stopped at the platform. Door opened, Katsura Kotonoha stepped in.
She felt lucky not to miss the last bus.
Even if missed, she could Shunpo home, but no umbrella means soaked. Thinking of Kotonoha Katsura's grown-up scolding, Kotonoha got a headache.
Clang.
Pulled a coin from pocket, tossed it in. Katsura Kotonoha looked around. Then realized she was too naive.
There are passengers, but none human.
Front right seat: old lady with green cat eyes. Behind her, gender unclear, wrapped in pale bandages leaking blood spots.
Front left: headless man in suit.
Back seats: group of uniform students. Blank faces, pale skin, each hugging a grayish backpack.
Before Katsura Kotonoha could act, click, door shut.
Bus started moving again.
