Chapter 28 - Getting drunk makes you lose your way.

[BOKKI & SOBA, look at the sea of fake top-knots within the night market]

[SOBA]

How the hell do we find him now…

[BOKKI]

No worries.

I have a special technique for this!

It's called the Special Amplifying Voice Jutsu!

Now watch…

[SOBA, looks at Bokki intently]

[BOKKI, takes a deep breath]

SHO!!!!

WHERE ARE YOU SHO!!!!

[SOBA, excited look turns to one of disappointment]

[SOBA]

Bokki…

You're just shouting, you know that right?

[BOKKI, shushes Soba]

[BOKKI]

I gotta concentrate, now keep it down]

[SOBA, sighs as Bokki continues shouting for Sho]

[SOBA, joins Bokki and starts shouting out for Sho too]

[BOTH]

SHO!!!!

[Suddenly, someone jumps down from out of nowhere]

[MASKED PERSON]

Are you two in need of assistance?!

[BOKKI]

Who the hell are you?

[MASKED PERSON, hits a pose]

I AM!

qBAKUFU CITY'S VERY OWN DO-GOODER!

[BOKKI, looks at him unamused]

I dont care about your super hero name, dork.

Show me your face and tell me your real name.

[DO-GOODER, panicking]

Oh!

Well you see… a super hero can't reveal his identity!

[BOKKI, reaching for his mask]

Well they do now!

[BOKKI, rips off his mask]

[DO-GOODER, covering his face]

NO!!

DONT LOOK AT ME!

I'M HIDEOUS!!

[BOKKI, whacks him on the head]

[BOKKI]

Quit being an idiot, what's your name?

[DO-GOODER]

A super hero doesn't reveal his-

[SOBA, fed up]

WE DON'T CARE!

WE'RE TRYING TO FIND OUR FRIEND!

[DO-GOODER, sighs]

My name is Gintaro Chinkoyama.

[BOKKI, tries not to laugh]

[BOKKI]

Pfft-

[SOBA, nods at Bokki]

[GINTARO, sighs]

Yeah, yeah dick mountain is my last name, laugh it up…

[BOKKI, breaks down laughing]

[BOKKI, stops laughing]

[BOKKI]

Oh god that's too funny…

[GINTARO]

Aside from my name, you guys said you needed help finding a friend?

[SOBA, nods]

Yes!

His names Sho!

[GINTARO]

Sho…

Ok, describe him for me!

[SOBA]

Uh well…

White button up, black dress pants, sneakers, and a top-knot.

[GINTARO, looks back at the crowd of people wearing shogun wigs and sighs]

[GINTARO]

Isn't there something else to describe him?

[BOKKI, muttering]

He's incredibly drunk right now…

[GINTARO]

Say what?

[BOKKI]

He's incredibly drunk.

[GINTARO, grins]

NOW THATS A LEAD!

[GINTARO, picks up his mask]

DO-GOODER, TRANSFORM!

[GINTARO, dramatically does the Kamen Rider transformation pose and puts on his mask]

[SOBA]

Is Do-Gooder seriously the best you can do?

Why not something like Super Gin?

[BOKKI]

Super Gin isn't too original either…

I say something like Chinko Man!

[GINTARO, punches Bokki in the face]

[GINTARO]

I WON'T BE KNOWN AS PENIS MAN!

[BOKKI, holding his face in pain]

Then why don't you come up with something better?!

[GINTARO, grins]

What about…

GINTAMAN!

[SOBA]

I feel like that sounds too much like-

[BOKKI, shuts Soba up]

[BOKKI]

Gintaman it is!

Now let's go find Sho!

[The three head out to find Sho within the crowd of people]

[They go asking around to see if anyone has seen a drunk guy with a real top-knot]

[They stop to play a few games and try some foods, to Soba's dismay]

[After a while Gintaro sees a shady guy pickpocketing a guy passed out in an alley]

[GINTARO, shouts over at them]

You there!

What are you doing to that man!

[He flashily jumps over them]

[SHADY GUY]

Why do you care?

You tryna play hero or something?

[GINTARO, strikes a pose]

I don't play the hero!

I am a hero!

I'm the great Gintaman!

[SHADY GUY, stares at him unamused]

[GINTARO, stays posing quietly]

[SHADY GUY]

Are you gonna do something?

[GINTARO, stays posing, sweating nervously]

[BOKKI & SOBA, sigh & walk up to the shady dude]

[SOBA]

Hey, that's Sho!

[BOKKI, points his sword at the Shady Guy]

[BOKKI]

What's your business with this guy?

[SHADY GUY]

None of your business!

[BOKKI, whacks the guy with his sword, knocking him out.]

[BOKKI, sighs]

Welp we took care of that…

[BOKKI, sifts through the guys pockets and finds Sho's wallet]

[BOKKI]

Bingo!

Soba, pick up Sho.

Let's head out.

[SOBA, picks up Sho, giving him a piggyback]

[BOKKI, walks up to Gintaro and pats him on the back]

[BOKKI]

We got Sho.

You can stop posing, Gintaman.

[GINTARO, lets out a sigh of relief]

[GINTARO]

Thank god!

I got too nervous to do anything!

[SOBA]

We know!

[BOKKI, chuckles]

It's alright Gintaro…

Everyone starts somewhere right?

[GINTARO, takes off his mask]

Well…

I guess so.

[SOBA]

Let's take Sho over to the mochi shop

[The three head over to the mochi shop]

[Outside the shop, Bokki & Sho say their goodbyes to Gintaro]

[BOKKI]

Well Gintaro, thanks for your help.

[SOBA, nods]

Yeah!

Even though you didn't help stop that thug…

[GINTARO, chuckles]

It was a pleasure!

I hope to see you guys again!

[GINTARO, jumps onto the roof of the shop and leaves into the night]

[BOKKI & SOBA, go into the mochi shop and lay Sho to rest]

[The next morning, they wake up to see Sho not where they left him]

[SOBA, looks at Bokki]

Oh god…

We lost Sho again!

[They run outside the shop]

[SHO, outside in underwear]

Good morning, my friends!

Did you sleep well?

I definitely did.

[SHO, smiles at them seemingly unaware of the events of the night before]

[BOKKI & SOBA, glare at Sho]

[BOTH]

PUT ON SOME CLOTHES!
