Gin-san...

...if you hit yourself and it hurts, are you too strong or too weak?!

_{[ hangs up — click!!!
want to try again? ]}

[unoradinary]

[Yes.]

Gin-san.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ grumbling this time: ]}
Oi, oii. It's early. Too early for this. Go outside and fly a kite.
_{[ technically it's about 2 PM Chantes time but you know. ]}

[unoradinary]

It's two in the afternoon...

Are you taking a nap?

[SURELY HE ISN'T STILL SLEEPING.]

[naturallywavy]

Do people take naps at 2 PM? It's so close to waking up time. Why do people do this to themselves?

[unoradinary]

Waking up time??

Nobody wakes up at 2pm! [Ran...] I'm up at 6am every day!

[naturallywavy]

—Why do people do that to themselves?

[unoradinary]

You'll feel well rested if you sleep between 10pm to 6am!

Sleeping outside of those hours mean you won't be as rested, and if you sleep for too long you can get heart conditions.

[naturallywavy]

Ah, I think you got that mixed up. Gin-san feels rested when sleeping between 10 pm to 6 pm... the following day.

_{[ But answering your question, Gintoki releases a prolonged sigh. His exasperation is brimming through the device, but very non-nonchalantly, he replies: ]}

Physical strength, as important as it is, shouldn't be a person's only source of determining strength.
A person's soul and heart should be strong, too.

Personal strength shouldn't be measured by how strong your punches are— but rather how good you are to other people.

1/2

[unoradinary]

[unoradinary]

The question's specifically about physical strength, Gin-san.

[DO YOU THINK SHE DOESN'T KNOW ALL THAT SHOUNEN BULLSHIT ALREADY.]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Oh. ]}

2.2

[naturallywavy]

Don't hit yourself.
Problem solved.

[unoradinary]

But that wasn't the problem!

[naturallywavy]

Hey, it's obvious you've tried this before— how else would you come up with such a weird question..!?

[unoradinary]

I haven't tried it! I just thought of it hypothetically!

[naturallywavy]

Does it really matter..!? Oi, becoming strong— is that all you're worried about..!? Something like this shouldn't matter— people do not fight themselves physically; only metaphorically!

[unoradinary]

That's just sloppy! You're so unprepared, Gin-san!

In the event I have to fight myself, I'll definitely be the strongest Ranmaru...!!!

[naturallywavy]

WHAT EVENT IS THAT GOING TO BE...!?

[unoradinary]

I don't know! None of us do!

The unexpected in life is like the spice on a meal you never asked for! If you're unprepared, you'll definitely lose!

That is to say, you need to have the strength to return it, and ask for what you really ordered.

_{[ There is more grumbling. This girl. He swears. ]}
It doesn't matter. Because it shouldn't change who you really are.

<sub>[ like really. Even he, a veteran of profound knowledge, isn't sure how to answer this. It doesn't bother him, though. Getting stronger isn't anything he ever was worried about.

Just being enough is all that mattered. Enough to keep his promises— enough to keep the people he cares about safe. ]</sub>

Don't let it worry you too much, Rin-san. People will look at you and acknowledge your strength, but if you don't think you are strong enough, you have no choice except to continue to get better. Who the hell is the person that judges who is strong and who isn't anyway? Oi, K*ng K*i isn't here to judge us. That's something you have to decide for yourself.

_{[ Another grumble. Ugh. ]}

2.2

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Why do you bother him with this? ]}
But, uh, if I were to say... I think defeating yourself means you're stronger than weaker.

There are plenty of opponents who could lose to you, and if you lost to yourself, I would think that is an accomplishment since you defeated somebody who is yourself, who has defeated many other people, even if yourself lost.. yourself just lost this once and against a worthy opponent.

_{[ GOD THIS IS CONFUSING AND ITS FRUSTRATING HIM.
EAT SHIT. ]}

This is a pain. Saying that is a pain. Your existence is a pain.
I'm tired now. You made me tired, thanks a lot.
