[Shizuoka Prefecture, Normal Earth]
As Chito, Yuuri, Fumio Taya, Rin Asunaro, Zoro Roronoa, and Maya Tendo arrived on Normal Earth via Kana Sakuragi's van by entering the portal room, the partial view of Mt. Fuji's peak was clear as day as they saw the towering mountain from a distance even if they were in the middle of a busy city. It was noon at around 3:00 P.M. as they arrived, with traffic at its busiest. Currently, at least here, it's late February.
The van sped through the busy Shizuoka traffic as the group passed by some cars, with Zoro using this passing opportunity to sleep as always. Rin A. only glanced at the street, as if her world turned upside down after seeing it for the first time in so many years.
"So, who's this relative you're visiting, Kana-chan?" Yuuri asked as she was eating some chocolate bar. "This certainly loosened some burden on you being a CEO of some magical girl talent matchmaking company that you created."
"Her name's Rin Shima. She's a really good camper and basically had been doing this since her first year of middle school." Kana explained to the group.
"Holy, since she was only 13!?" Maya exclaimed in surprise. "That's amazing for her."
Kana could not help but to chuckle at Maya's words.
"Grandpa handed her his own camping equipment and basically started doing solo camping on her own. But Rin-chan is as smart as she looks, since she basically funds it by herself through the funds she got from her work at a bookstore." Kana explained further.
"Jeez, I'm jealous hearing that." Yuuri said in surprise.
"I mean we camped out multiple times during our trip to the megacity, Yuu." Chito said, reminiscing their trip. "Remember the apartment and that place when it rained and we had to stay there for the moment? Not to mention the hangar that Ishii used before?" She asked.
"But this one's now the real thing, Chii!" Yuuri insisted on her friend. "You know it's like that beach place that Mao-chan's family owned that we visited on Hinako-chan's world!"
Kana then briefly glanced at Rin A. as the car stopped for a moment.
"You okay there, Asunaro-san?" Kana asked.
"I'm okay." Rin A. said quietly. "This… This place reminded me of when my father brought me here in some moments." She added with a calm disposition.
"Ah, so you and your dad really visited this place a few times." Maya answered as she looked at her phone. "When I was your age, I never really had time to sightsee and go to scenic spots. Life was surely hell with me following my mom and dad's footsteps in the world of theatre. I had little to no breaks for years, but it was until I finally graduated in Seisho that I was liberated. Well, I still maintained my life in the limelight, of course, since theatre is my lifeblood. But Tennyson-sensei had told me that I should find opportunities in balancing my theatre life, my hero life, and now my quality time outside of the former two. That's how I finally got my real footing to balance three things at once. It's hard at first, but I learned gradually to embrace them and somewhat loosened my usually reserved demeanour in casual getups, even with the trauma I had at my shoulders."
"Before those three women went into my world, I basically used my drawing tablet to create whatever world I wanted that suits my taste. Environment, atmosphere, geography, nada. But the world I created had zero population and I was limited by the fact that I cannot create real, tangible people within it." Rin A. admitted as she grasped the car pillow.
"Now that you have finally encountered real people, Rin-san." Chito remarked at the front seat, before glancing at her cousin. "You okay there, Fumio?"
Fumio only glanced with a smile.
"Yes. As if our trip reminded me of a piece I was perfecting. Refreshing and calm." Fumio replied.
"Well this trip will add further into it." Chito added. "At least we can rest for now." She added with a sigh, before looking at Kana. "So, you know where your cousin lives?"
"She's living in Yamanashi." Kana remarked. "But that's only one person you'll be meeting, because you're about to meet the rest of the Outdoor Activities Club."
"Outdoor Activities Club?" Maya repeated.
"That's basically a club that focuses on camping-related activities, Maya-san. Rin-chan isn't a member. Nadeshiko, Chiaki, and Aoi, as well as Ena, were its main members. Minami runs it." Kana explained.
After their conversation, the car soon exited the main city as it then headed into the less busy mountainous concrete roadways overlooking the scenic routes from a distance. Unlike in the city, Mt. Fuji is much more visible and with the sunset on top of the mountain's peak, giving it a largely clear, awe-inspiring view, at least more visible than being viewed in the city.
"Holy freaking Christ!" Yuuri exclaimed as she looked at the window, before taking out her camera. "Chii, just look at it! It's so damn beautiful!" She said as she shook her friend's clothes. "Remember that view of the sunset at the third layer that we saw back before we met Cut? This is so damn grand!"
"Yuu, would you calm it down?" Chito said as she took out her tablet and took a picture of the picturesque scenery. "This is so beautiful, I gotta admit. Guess after 23 years of seeing artificial sceneries and fake beaches, this one hit us like a speeding truck." She said as she took a picture on it before asking the magical girl beside her. "Kana-san, is this really that common to see this scenery?"
"Oh, lots of passersby and tourists who pass by here have a first-glance view of Fuji. But the real deal is when you go to Izu Peninsula and Lake Motosu proper, and especially at night, since that's where you will see the full view of the mountain and moonlight!" Kana exclaimed in joy, as if some of her burdens were lifted off the top shelf. "Last time, Rin-chan and Nadeshiko-chan camped in Lake Motosu, from which the former met the latter for the first time, and it was at night where they got a clear view of it." She added as she captured a photo of the scenic view with a camera.
Maya only shed a single tear at it.
"This is essentially like regaining some of my lost childhood innocence." Maya described.
Rin A. and Fumio did the same thing, as the former took out her drawing tablet and her stylus as she quickly created a rough sketch of the view. Fumio, meanwhile, was humming some melodies she had played and compared it to what she just saw.
"With this, I'd be hoping I impress grandma again to play a piece inspired by it, Chito-onee-sama." Fumio quietly said.
Zoro, on the other hand, abruptly woke up as the car reached through a bump, interrupting his sleep, much to his displeasure.
"Oi, who interrupted my nap here!" Zoro suddenly exclaimed.
"Well, you missed the scenic view, Zoro-san." Yuuri added with a confident tone as she looked at the pirate. "With all the sleeping you had in mind, you are missing out on a lot." She continued.
Zoro only sneered.
"I needed some damn rest and had no time sightseeing." Zoro said in a comical tone, before Maya caught upon it.
"As always of the swordsman." Maya remarked with a snide tone.
"Oh, please." Zoro remarked to his lover as he grinned. "Bet shitty cook and the rest of the crew missed out on it, eh."
The rest only chuckled.
"Don't worry, they might be visiting later once we told them about it." Maya answered.
Some hour or two later, the group later arrived in Yamanashi Prefecture. It was close to dusk as they soon arrived at the town. Most of it was partially filled with snow as it was still late winter.
Maya and Zoro, as well as Fumio and Rin A. were asleep from the long trip.
"Brrr… I'm feeling cold, Chii…" Yuuri said as she shivered before looking at Chito, who was sleeping. "Kana-chan, are we getting close to your cuz's home?" She said as she was drinking Red Bull.
"Almost there. 15 minutes at its best." Kana answered. "This town can be cold especially in winter. Rin-chan said that the rest of the club members are at the family home. They're definitely eagerly waiting for me to visit there." She chuckled.
"And your family too?" Yuuri asked. "Tell me, have you been nervous seeing them again?"
"Haven't seen them for at least the past few years. After all, we live with vastly different lives and I'm no camper." Kana answered as she only reminisced. "While Rin-chan doesn't know that I'm now a CEO of some company I created, it's hard sell to explain my life as a magical girl."
"That's honestly Chii's reaction when Davie-san told her about her true connections to the Tayas." Yuuri replied as she drank another shot of the drink. "Hell broke loose and boy we had to pick up the pieces to sort it out."
"That's basically normal reaction, Yuuri." Kana said as she only looked at the house as she set her course there. "Think about it. When I firstly joined in before Magilumiere, I was lost and pessimistic. Koshigaya wholly changed me a lot during my experiences there."
"Makes sense." Yuuri answered.
Minutes later, the van then arrived at a relatively modest house to their left. In front of it was a Yamaha Vino moped parked next to the house, as well as a brown van to the left.
"Here we are." Kana called out as the rest woke up from her loud tone. "Welcome to my cousin's home!"
Chito groaned as she woke up from her sleep.
"This is your cousin's home?" Chito repeated as she looked around. "Where we are lately?"
"In the mountains, at the very least." Kana pointed out. "Mt. Fuji is just right there." She pointed at the mountain from a distance.
"Damn, that mountain really is visible no matter where you go." Maya stated as she looked at her phone, which showed 6:32 P.M.
Rin A. then observed the area around her, with Zoro simply exiting the vehicle with Maya, as always observing him, before he was then guided by her to the residence in front of them. He certainly would have gotten lost yet again in a place like this.
"Ah, what a nice rest that is!" Zoro said with a refreshed tone.
"Good grief, Zoro. Don't just go exiting the vehicle without me." Maya chastisesd with a blunt tone, as the group then took out their personal belongings while waiting for Kana to contact anyone inside and with the rest waiting in.
"Not gonna lie, but damn this place is leagues better than Mao-chan's private beach." Yuuri mused as she looked at the lush greenery around the mountains.
"Let alone the 'forest' we passed by before we entered that submarine." Chito added next.
"Of course. How can we forget that place… Where it was almost close to that robot thing!" Yuuri added.
"Don't remind me of what you did again there, Yuu." Chito said with an angry pout.
Meanwhile with Kana, the doors of the residence then opened, revealing Rin Shima, as well as five other figures were on the inside of the room.
The first figure is a teenage girl with an average height, she had a slender body and a pale complexion, she had a chest-length greenish-brown tied in a side ponytail held by a purple hair bobble with bangs hanging on the right side of her forehead, and she had olive green-colored eyes. She wears a white & black beanie hat and an orange & grey scarf wrapped around her neck, she wears a brown hooded winter coat with white collar, accents and cuffs over a white buttoned shirt, black knee-length pleated skirt and a pair of black & white shoes with white soles. This is Aoi Inuyama, also known as Inuko.
The second figure is a teenage girl with an average height, she had a slender frame and a pale complexion, she had thigh-length bluish-purple hair tied in two ponytails with some of her hair falling onto the sides of her face and had very short bangs above her eyebrows, she had brown-colored eyes and wears semi-rectangular wire-frame glasses. She wears a light-blue hooded winter jacket over a black high-collared sweater and maroon-buttoned shirt, blue jeans and black & white converse shoes. She wears a maroon-colored beanie hat. This is Chiaki Oogaki, also known as Aki.
The third figure is a teenage girl with an average height, she had a slender frame and a fair complexion, she had a short brown hair that has hair strands swept to the left side and she had blue-colored eyes. She wears a black beanie hat and a colorful scarf wrapped around her neck, she wears a dark-green hooded winter jacket with black furred collar over a black-buttoned shirt with white accents, white pencil skirt over violet stockings and a pair of brown & black high-cut shoes. This is Ena Saitou.
The fourth figure is a young woman with an average height, she had a slender body and a fair complexion, she had a long black hair styled in a himecut, her eyes are closed and are concealed behind round glasses. She wears a light-grey hooded winter jacket over a red bomber jacket and black long buttoned-shirt, dark-blue pants and a pair of light-brown boots. She wears a tribal-patterned black scarf wrapped around her neck. This is Minami Toba.
The fifth figure is a teenage girl with an average height, she had a slender body and a pale complexion, she had a waist-length pink twintails tied twin ponytails on the back of her neck and is held by white ruffled scrunchies, and she had light-blue colored eyes. She wears a colorful beanie hat and a black & white striped scarf wrapped around her neck, she wears a white hooded winter jacket over a light-blue sweater, khaki shorts and a pair of white & purple laced boots. This is Nadeshiko Kagamihara.
Rin S.'s eyes widened as she saw the familiar face right in front of her.
"Rin-chan!" Kana greeted her.
"Kana-nee-san…" Rin said in a quiet yet happy tone, before she embraced her.
Kana's eyes then darted to the rest of the Outdoor Activities Club members. Rin had told her cousin about her showing up and decided to text the rest of her fellow clubmates hours prior about her impending home visit.
"Anyone, Kana-nee-san's here." Rin called out.
"Is that Kana-nee-chan over there!?" Nadeshiko exclaimed in her usual excited tone as the pinkette saw her. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! She's here, anyone!" She added further as if her world went on an overdrive.
"Sakuragi!" "Kana-san!" "Sakuragi-san!" Chiaki and Minami, Aoi, and Ena respectively greeted Kana next.
Kana only smiled as she embraced them all at once.
"What happened to your hair, Kana-san?" Aoi asked as she glanced at Kana's twintail-less hair. "Liked those twintails of yours before."
"Not to mention you looked cute with it." Ena said with a chuckle.
"Frankly it's a long story, but I cut it for comfort. Also, a mere transition to adulthood would involve me cutting both of them as well." Kana said as she ruffled her hair, with Nadeshiko then complaining.
"Aw, but you looked cute with that, Kana-nee-chan." Nadeshiko said with a pout, much to everyone's amusement.
Minami then approached Kana.
"Never knew you'd come here of all times, Sakuragi." Minami said. "Shima-san told me about your… How to say this, endeavours?"
"You read me, Minami-san." Kana answered. "Well, if you really want to tell it all, brace for a long explanation."
Rin abruptly then talked.
"So you got my text message, then." Rin S. said with a smile.
"Way ahead of you." Kana stated. "Oh, brace yourselves because I have some friends here as well."
"Friends?" Chiaki repeated. "I thought you're only visiting here by yourself for the upcoming Izu trip, Sakuragi."
"Oh, you will see." Kana said as she looked at the back. "Get in, everyone!"

[Shima Residence]
Just minutes after the group brought in their belongings inside the modest Shima Residence, Chito, Yuuri, Rin A., Zoro, and Maya were then guided by Kana as they were introduced to the rest of them, where they sat down at the living room talking to each other.
The Outdoor Activities Club members then introduced themselves to the group, with Rin S. correcting herself to them that she isn't a club member as she preferred to solo camp, while Ena is just a provisionary member of the club that made it a total of four members as of the moment.
Rin A. then glanced around the room, with Fumio sitting down.
For the unfortunate Chito, Nadeshiko and Aoi mistook her for a child, especially for the fomer who was about to treat her like her own "little sister", thanks to her stature, much to the disbelief of the noirnette before she corrected both of them that she is twice their age.
"Chito-san's that old!?" Minami suddenly exclaimed.
"We're sorry!" Aoi apologised.
"Yeah, that's actually a sensitive topic for her, Toba-san and Inuyama-san." Maya said with a candid tone.
Fumio then looked at Minami. "Just be careful about it. But other than that, she is kindhearted." She added.
"I don't want to be your so-called 'little sister', no matter how much you push it, Nadeshiko." Chito said with a grumble.
"Come on, Chito-chan! Just for one day, pleeeeease?" Nadeshiko begged.
"No." Chito said firmly before whacking Nadeshiko with her fist to the head.
"Ow…" Nadeshiko groaned as she clutched her head.
"Cut it out." Chiaki chided at the pink-haired girl. "Sorry about her. She can be childish for most of the time."
"It's okay, Chiaki-san." Yuuri said confidently.
"Also, given that you aren't the normal type, I guess you knew of Kana-nee-san's rather odd life?" Rin S. asked.
"Us being heroes, you mean?" Zoro asked straight to the point. "Your cousin definitely did not tell you anything about it, I see. We're here to relax for the moment. After all, heroics is soul-crushing without rest."
"Of course, from the likes of you taking that much nap." Maya added with a chuckle.
"And her?" Aoi asked.
"Rin-san's cousin happens to be a magical girl, but she will tell you more of it." Maya answered.
"We're curious, so can you tell us?" Minami asked.
"Well, brace for a long explanation." Kana answered.
Kana then took the honours to explain the Unity Force, where she explained to them about everything regarding it, including the existence of the multiverse and other worlds, as well as stopping any form of threat that comes into in the form of invaders. Kana then decided to tell the others about her being a magical girl before telling everything about her being the CEO of her magical girl company known as Sakuragi Planning Co. Ltd., where it sent shockwaves across the girls.
Rin S., especially, did not digest the reveal easily as three or more metaphorical heads grew out of her neck. She facefaulted at how absurd this sounded.
"EH!? You are actually a head of this company when you were working in another world!?" Rin S. exclaimed suddenly loudly that is far different from her usual quiet demeanour upon hearing how her cousin became the head of a company.
"Well, you figured us out that we're not the normal type, Rin-chan." Kana said with a chuckle.
"Okay okay okay…" Rin S. repeated. "I would never believe it… I never knew that you became a hero and now an owner of some business while I was solo camping as well as camping with the rest… And now at least four of them are in the same boat as with Kana-nee-san." She added as she talked to herself.
Nadeshiko, on the other hand, had a more opposite reaction to it.
"Ohmygodohmygod! Is that actually true, Kana-nee-chan?" Nadeshiko asked happily.
"It's true, Nadeshiko." Kana answered. "A whole lot happened on my end, which is given since being a magical girl, a hero, and now a CEO of some company is a mountainous responsibility."
"That's crazy." Chiaki mouthed.
"And frankly enough, you only knew a tiny fraction of it." Zoro stated.
"Might I guess that there's more to it. Not that we pondered, but I'd be guessing that you aren't the only ones for this trip, as well." Chiaki stated.
Maya then explained with a smiling tone. "Well, for a good measure, a lot of heroes back in U.F. Earth visit here. In fact all of Normal Earth, regular Earth in the U.F.'s lingospeak, is basically connected to it by a series of portal hubs across the globe. So they can visit this world here and there."
"Wait, so this explains why we're seeing weird people!?" Aoi exclaimed all of a sudden. "One time we saw this… Weird guy at a buffet with two other guys. Spiky, brown hair and wears some custom red ninja outfit straight out of samurai times."
"Oh, that idiot Chouji." Zoro said with a grumble. "Let me guess, he nearly ate all of the buffet? That guy cannot catch a break especially in front of a pile of food."
"Yeah, and he was kicked out afterwards by what looked like his two other teammates. The other with black hair and a goatee. One was a kunoichi with blonde hair." Aoi stated as she ruffled her hair.
"That's Ino and Shikamaru." Zoro replied.
[FLASHBACK]
Weeks ago, at a large restaurant across Tokyo, Chouji Akimichi, as well as two others including Ino Yamanaka and Shikamaru Nara, members of Ino-Shika-Cho, visited a buffet where his eyes watered at the several plates in front of him.
Chouji is a large, rotund, and plump young man. He has a short brown hair and sports a goatee, he has dark eyes and swirl markings on each cheeks. He wears a red coat underneath a plate armor, black pants, black boots and wrist guards.
Shikamaru has bored brown eyes, he has a shoulder length black hair tied in a spiky ponytail and a small goatee. He wears a green-lined mesh armour on his wrists and ankles over a black long-sleeve shirt and the plate of his forehead protector sewn into his left sleeve, brown pants and calf-length dark-blue sandals.
Ino has a fair skin, blue eyes and a thigh-length platinum-blonde hair tied in a ponytail and bangs framing the right side of her face. She wears a purple sleeveless buttoned croptop, purple arm-warmers, a knee-length purple skirt and sandals.
Aoi was with the rest of the Outdoor Activities Club members as she glanced at Chouji.
"This is Heaven after a mission!" Chouji exclaimed in glee.
"Ugh, how troublesome with all the people here." Shikamaru blankly mouthed.
"Hey, at least food is good here." Ino stated, before her face contorted into a disbelieving expression as she glanced at Chouji. "Of course, there he goes again."
The Akimichi ninja then began eating all of the food one-by-one, with the customers glancing at him. While Ino and Shikamaru ate normally, Chouji went to the next level as he rapidly ate his food without a care.
"Calm it down!" Ino exclaimed.
"Sir, please slow it down- EH?!" The waitress exclaimed as she saw Chouji into his large size before deflating back to regular size…
"D-Did you just see that, Nadeshiko!?" Aoi exclaimed.
Much to the annoyance of others, Chouji's stunt caused a stir inside, before Ino and Shikamaru then dragged him out of the restaurant.
"My apologies about my teammate here, anyone." Ino apologised.
[FLASHBACK END]
"He surely has a bottomless stomach." Ena answered with a chuckle.
"That's basically because food is his form of energy. He craves it A LOT and needs it for his powers." Yuuri stated. "Frankly, for his team, that's a hell lot of annoyance and trouble to curb his cravings, which is a gargantuan of a task."
"Well, would it be the same thing as you, Yuu?" Chito asked with a snarky tone. "That you cannot live without food? One second after the other, your mind only focuses into it."
"Oi, at least I don't eat the whole buffet, Chii!" Yuuri argued back.
"Whatever." Chito said with a dismissive tone as she yawned.
Nadeshiko then focused her attention to Rin A.
"Oooooh, so you were from this virtual world being able to create a world on your own! That's amazing." Nadeshiko said in a cheerful tone. "But you know, I can tell that you really crave human connection!" She added in an exciting tone.
"Try not to intimidate her, Kagamihara." Minami answered. "She doesn't want to be overwhelmed by too much of your cheerfulness."
"I… I'm okay, Toba-san." Rin A. answered. "Thanks for worrying."
Ena then focused her attention on Fumio and Maya.
"So you are a relative of this famous pianist, Taya-san?" Ena asked. "When you told me about your ability to play the piano, you weren't joking when you saw me a video of your performance."
"Well, it was rough-going at first, to be fair." Fumio answered. "Grandma drilled me with expectations and I spoke stuff like 'death marches' to refer to my crazy piano practice routine."
"Eh, that's creepy of you to say it." Ena remarked. "Not to mention, being a long-lost cousin to Chito-san of all people?"
"That one was also in the same boat." Fumio answered.
"And you, Tendo-san. I heard of your achievements in the world of theatre." Ena stated. "We watched your 99th Class performing a stage play before you graduated."
"And how I was dragged into what was Unity Force in the past after." Maya chuckled in a chippy manner. "Frankly, Zoro and the rest were the ones who got me out of the old me, where people only saw me because of me being in the limelight, not because of me as a person. Still I don't stray from my theatre roots, as it is my lifeblood. But I learned how to balance it out without stressing myself."
Rin S. was seen talking to Kana.
"Where's aunt and uncle?" Kana asked.
"They went shopping for food." Rin S. answered, before looking at the rest of her group. "So they really want to join with us on the Izu trip within next March." She stated further. "I'm still so stunned of the admission you just made, Kana-nee-san. It's one thing to know that you are a real hero, but a CEO of some company… Is a massive undertaking."
"I've told my secretary, Mei Tsuchiba, to take over of my duties for now." Kana answered. "She knew how to deal with it already since I taught her the basics. Told her I wanted to get some break. Trust me, it's never easy to be a CEO." She added with a weak chuckle. "The guys including Chito-san, Yuuri-san, and Zoro-san really wanted a vacation break from heroics, so here we are."
"Well… For sure." Rin S. stated. "Guess they are in for the trip. We'll discuss it later about the Izu trip."
Suddenly…
"Coming home!" A much older voice, likely male, can be heard on the other side.
Two adult figures just came out of what appeared to be their bedroom.
The first adult figure is a pale-skinned young woman with chin-length dark-teal blue hair and dark purple eyes. In her second appearance, she wears a brown turtle neck and light gray pants. This is Saki Shima, Rin S.'s mother.
The second adult figure has black hair and blue eyes, as well as him wearing glasses. He wears a white buttoned shirt on the inside with a grey sweater on the outside, as well as black pants and brown slippers. This is Wataru Shima, Rin S.'s father.
Saki and Wataru just showed up with bags of groceries on their hand, as Rin S. greeted her parents. Then all of a sudden they saw Kana for the first time.
"KANA!" Both Saki and Wataru exclaimed in joy.
"Aunt! Uncle!" Kana called out as she embraced the two. "Been a long time. I promised that I visit here."
"So you really went on your word, Kana." Wataru stated.
"Oh, I was the one who told her about it, father." Rin S. answered.
"And oh, who are these people here?" Saki asked, looking at the rest of the heroes, then to the Outdoor Activities Club members. "And the rest of your friends too, Rin."
"Aunt. Uncle. These are my friends from the Unity Force." Kana pointed at the ragtag group of people behind them.
"Unity Force? Oh, now I get it!" Saki said with a smile.
"You know, auntie?" Kana asked with a surprising tone.
"Oh, we saw your little broom inside the trunk of your car." Saki answered.
"Guess this will be an awkward night for us." Kana chuckled as she directed her relatives inside the household.

[OMAKE]
Around the busy streets of Shizuoka in Normal Earth, Gintoki Sakata and another man were riding at a motorbike in the middle of the chaotic street. Keek was not there, as it was revealed that she was back at the academy with the rest of the staff members at Resolution Tower.
The man behind Gintoki has has black hair and brown eyes. He wears a light blue keikogi with blue linings and a blue hakama. He has glasses. This is Shinpachi Shimura.
Gintoki was recklessly driving his motorbike as he was zipping through the Shizuoka traffic, with both of them planning to go to an izakaya across the city, with Gintoki, being the lazy ass he is, attempting to shirk off on his responsibilities as a staff member.
"WOULD YOU PLEASE DRIVE RESPONSIBLY!?" Shinpachi exclaimed loudly. "I WISH KEEK WAS BEHIND YOU INSTEAD OF ME DEALING WITH YOUR SHIT!"
"Okay… But Keek told me that she had business and she wanted me to be dragged into it." Gintoki argued without a care.
"WELL, DUH! THE GRAND HEADMASTER CALLED IN FOR A MEETING. AS EXPECTED OF YOUR STUPIDITY, YOU MOODY, LAZY ASS!" Shinpachi called out loudly.
"If the motorbike breaks, you pay for it, Shitheadpanchi." Gintoki said dismissively.
"FUCK YOU!" Shinpachi cursed.
"At least I know other girls back at the U.F. Academy who are virgins." Gintoki blurted out random nonsense.
"What the hell does that have to do with what I just said earlier!?" Shinpachi argued.

A/N: This story is inspired by the ideas of Tamama900. As you see it's the start of another fic! It will continue in the next chapter.
Addendum: In the original iteration of Unity Force series that I wrote years ago, Yuru Camp was also up on the table for the mission fic (back when Non-Missions weren't even a thing), and it was different in that it was originally slated for 26 chapters (which encompassed seasons 1 and 2 of the anime). However, things were a little different from that time as it was intended to be a mission fic after the cancelled mission fic concept of Unity Force Missions: Horizon Forbidden West and Unity Force Missions: High School Fleet: The Movie.
And with that, have a nice day!
