"Then, I announce! The first Kabukicho [Takamagahara] Cowherd Trials has officially begun!" Gintoki stood in front of everyone and shouted with a microphone.
After he finished speaking, crackling applause rang out.
"First of all, let's invite our judges and interviewers!" Gintoki said, pointing to the four people sitting on the table beside him. "The first one is Kabukicho's number one cowherd: Kusushiro-san! As Kabukicho's number one Cowherd, he is very strict~"
"Cowherd is an industry that I love with all my heart." Kuangshilang, who was touched by Qiu, showed a warm smile and said hello to the crowd in front.
"The second one is the follower and bodyguard of the No. 1 Cowherd in Kabukicho, Kusushiro-san: Hachiro! As a confidant of the No. 1 Cowherd, he is also the man who knows the way of the Cowherd best!" Gintoki continued to introduce,
"Third place, I would like to introduce you to you. This is Ocasan, who is familiar to everyone! She is also a customer of our store! So, everyone, please work hard, win Ocasan's favor, and let her give you more points. Bar!"
"Fourth place..." As he spoke, Gintoki glanced at a girl who was picking her nose at the judges' table, and decisively skipped the introduction of the last judge, "The above! These are the four judges selected for this time. !By the way (by the way), this recruitment selection competition adopts a points system, and each judge... "
"Won't I introduce you when we get there?! You soulless person!!" Kagura rushed out from the judges' table, kicked Gintoki over and cursed.
"In a word, that's it! Job seekers, use your fiery cowherd hearts to impress the judges in front of you!" Gintoki, who was beaten to the ground, took the microphone and shouted, "here we go!"
"What are we here for?" Xin Bajia in the crowd adjusted his glasses and whispered expressionlessly.
"Don't worry about it," Jiang Cheng patted Shinpachi's shoulder and pointed at Ocasan who was smiling very happily at the judges' table. "I have done you a big favor, but you didn't notice Ocasan." Are you smiling very happily?"
"Masaka!" Xin Baji couldn't help but feel a little moved, "Did Jiang Chengsang come up with this method just to bring Okasan and Hachiro into close contact?"
"No, I just think it's fun..." Jiang Guo replied decisively.
Xinbaji: "..."
…
"Brother, what should we do in this situation?" A younger brother whispered in Heima Shengnan's ear.
"How do I know! Idiot!" Heima Shengnan scolded, and then looked at Jiang Cheng who was watching the fun, "Anyway, let's just fool around and end this farce quickly."
"First of all, the first round, appearance!" Gintoki on the stage continued to host, "As we all know, a good appearance is the basis for becoming a cowherd! The job seekers here don't seem to have put on their job attire, but! We I have expected it! Formal clothes have been prepared in the changing room behind everyone, now please go change your clothes first!"
"Are you kidding me?" Heima Shengnan cursed impatiently, but as soon as he said it, he saw Jiang Cheng looking at him with a kind face.
"I just want to ask where the fitting room is..." Kuroma Katsuo swallowed his saliva and said with a reluctant smile.
"Right behind you! Sa, go get ready!" After Gintoki finished speaking, under the leadership of Kuroma Katsuo, a group of gangsters from the Mouse Group walked into the fitting room.
"While all the job seekers are changing their clothes, we give time to our judges' bench. What do the judges think of the contestants who participated in the Cowherd selection and recruitment today?"
"The job of Cowherd is not as simple as imagined. Appearance is just a stepping stone to this job. The most important thing is to retain customers with rich inner qualities!" Kuangshilang said with a smile.
"Do you understand? Even a man with a good face is not 100% able to pass the test! Some men with embroidered pillows and straw hearts will quit the competition early!" Gintoki's words were directed at Jiang Cheng. of.
"I didn't compete at all, you bastard!" Jiang Cheng was furious.
"To put it simply, a guy who shows off his appearance will never pass the test!" Gintoki continued, ignoring Jiang Cheng's complaints.
"That's probably what I mean." Kuang Shilang nodded at the judges' table.
"Yo Xi, I understand. Next, let's listen to the second judge's opinion. As the believer who has been with the first Cowherd for the longest time, I believe that you also have your own way of the Cowherd in your heart. Unique insights!" Gintoki said, turning his gaze to Hachiro.
"Hey, it's like this. As a friend who has followed Kuangshi Lang-san for so long. Behind him, I watched him grow step by step until he grew into the best cowherd in Kabukicho. I have always seen the difficulties in this. In my eyes! Moreover, I used to be a Cowherd..."
Before Hachiro finished speaking, Gintoki decisively interrupted Hachiro's speech, "In short, you can understand it when you see Hachiro's appearance. In other words, appearance is not important at all, what is important is the inside!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet..." Hachiro replied weakly.
"Next! It's Ocasan! As a woman over fifty, I believe she also has her own unique views on men!"
"Hello everyone," Hachiro's mother stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, "Today I was just elected as a judge as an ordinary Oka-san. My selection criteria are not that complicated. As an Oka-san Sang, I just want to see everyone’s persistence in their dreams! On your way to pursue your dreams, don’t worry about Ocasan in the countryside. Don’t give up. Ocasan has always been silently blessing you behind your back! So no matter what you become It doesn’t matter what you look like, Ocasan, as long as you are alive and full of energy, you will be satisfied!!”
At this time, only Jiang Cheng noticed that the eyes of Kuangshilang next to Ocasan were filled with mist...
"Touched! It's so touching!" Gintoki wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then looked at the members of the Gull Rat Group who had just walked out of the changing room wearing suits, "Sons! Use it! Impress Ocasan with your iron-like heart to chase dreams!"
Although he wanted to curse, Dark Horse Katsuo still managed not to have an attack. Instead, he raised his hand and shouted weakly: "Oh..."
The other members of the Gully Rat Group saw that their boss had done this, and they also followed suit...
"Then, the first round officially begins!" Gintoki just finished speaking and was kicked over by Kagura.
"Why did you skip me again!! How can you repair it!! Are you looking down on me, Aru?!!"
…
Looking at the members of the Gou Rat Group wearing suits standing on the makeshift stage, even Jiang Cheng felt a slight violation.
"First of all, please ask the judges to rate our first contestant, Dark Horse Katsura!" After Gintoki shouted, the four people on the judges' bench showed their score cards.
"Fifty points, fifty points, one hundred points, thirty-seven points." Gintoki murmured, "Except for Ocasan who gave full marks, the rest all gave scores below the passing line. I don't know the dark horse." Sir, do you have any opinion on this score? But looking at the disdainful expression, it seems that he doesn’t care about the result at all."
"Well, let me interrupt for a moment," Kuangshilang raised his hand and said, "Actually, this gentleman's external conditions are already very good. The bad temperament of a little gangster that exudes from the inside out is also very attractive. Some customers. However, the long toothpick in the mouth is really... Anyway, that's it. If the toothpick is removed, I will add ten points."
Hachiro on the side also nodded in agreement.
"I see," Gintoki nodded, and then looked at Oka-san who gave him a perfect score, "Why did Oka-san give a perfect score?"
"In Ocasan's eyes, the child's appearance is perfect!" Ocasan said seriously.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of ofoo," Gintoki was so moved, "You're right. In Ocasan's eyes, our children's looks are perfect!"
"Oubaha... you..." Even the dark horse Shengnan was a little moved.
"Yoshi, would you like to invite the next contestant..."
Before he finished speaking, Kagura rushed down and gave another blow.
"What do you mean you skipped me again?!" Kagura rolled her eyes and shouted, "Why don't you listen to my opinion?!"
"Ah... you said..." Gintoki said as he wiped the blood from his forehead.
"The thirty-seven points I gave are not just thirty-seven points." Kagura folded her hands with a proud expression.
"Could it be! Is there a secret here?!" Gintoki said pretending to be shocked, but then his tone changed, "But none of us are interested, so next..."
"Let me finish, you bastard!" Kagura scolded angrily, then folded his hands and continued, "This thirty-seven points corresponds to that man's hairstyle, Aru! In other words, it is the impression point! Anyone can see His first impression was 37 points, so I gave him this score!"
"It makes no sense at all!" Gintoki cursed, and then looked at the next contestant: bald, one-eyed, with a penetrating scar on the blind eye. "The judges have been asked to rate this contestant! But I always feel that this contestant will get a very low score..."
As he said that, Gintoki looked at the judges' table. The perfect score was all 100. Gintoki was momentarily confused. He wiped his eyes and wondered: "What's going on! Are my eyes seeing double images?! Look at the 10 points." Got 100 points?!”
"No, this guy's temperament is worth this score!" Kuangshi Lang shook his head, and then explained, "This gentleman looks fierce and permeable at first glance, but as a senior cowherd, I feel that maybe, He can be a completely different Cowherd than the current Cowherd! This is revolution! A new Cowherd that is completely different from the existing Cowherd standard!"
Hachiro also nodded in agreement.
"In Ocasan's eyes, the child's appearance is perfect!" Ocasan said again.
