CHAPTER 350: CHAPTER 349: JAIL GOOSE: I STRUCK AGAIN

Chapter 349: Jail Goose: I Struck Again

Readers, my name is Otto Apocalypse, former Overseer of Schicksal. I hate pink hair.

At this moment, Otto was like an "incompetent husband," only able to watch as Elysia and Kallen "cuddled."

He couldn’t help but want to find a fortune teller. Was he... cursed to clash with pink hair?

First, it was Yae Sakura, and now, an Elysia.

I’m being cuckolded!

"Want one?"

Kenji, like a magician, materialized a green hat, "kindly" offering it to his Servant.

"Master... I know what that hat implies. Let’s not."

Otto refused. Elysia and Kallen’s interaction... was just a Master getting to know her Servant.

"Master, you know the Kaslana ancestor. What kind of person was he?"

Kallen looked at Elysia. She hadn’t expected her Master to look so young, yet be from her "ancestor’s" generation.

"Kallen, are you thinking I’m very old♪?"

How could Elysia not see what Kallen was thinking? Her smile turned "kind." If Kallen’s next answer wasn’t good... heeheehee~

"No! I’m just surprised. We don’t know much about our ancestor. I’ve seen a mural of him... he was wearing white robes, and had the air of a philosopher."

"So... I’m guessing the Kaslana ancestor was a very wise person?"

Kenji and the others: "..."

Kevin? Wise?

If you knew Kevin’s ’education level,’ you wouldn’t think that.

Kevin only got into "philosophy" later because his "external brain" (MEI) was gone, forcing his "original-hardware brain" to reboot.

But... no matter how much knowledge Kevin learned, his "education level" would never change.

"That’s right, Kevin is indeed..."

Elysia wanted to praise Kevin’s "shocking wisdom," but she couldn’t find the right words to describe it.

Forget it. I won’t say it. I shouldn’t ruin Kallen’s image of ’Kevin the Philosopher’.

...

Odd Jobs Gin-san: "This woman... do you guys know her?"

In the picture, Black Swan was unconscious on the ground.

[Star Forger]: "Isn’t that ’Jail Goose’ (Black Swan)?"

(The group members weren’t together; they had split up to explore Penacony on their own.)

[Galactic Baseballer]: "Gin-san, what did you do to Black Swan?"

Odd Jobs Gin-san: "What do you mean, ’what did I do’?! I didn’t do anything! She just appeared in front of me, and then... fainted!"

Gintoki proclaimed his innocence. I didn’t do a thing!

[Ruan Mei]: "If I’m not mistaken, this Memokeeper... must have seen Gintoki’s memories, and... couldn’t handle it..."

[Shizu-cute]: "What?! She saw Gintoki’s memories?"

The manga and anime were already explosive, but Gintoki’s actual memories must be worse. They could shatter your scruples into a million pieces.

[Star Forger]: "As expected of ’Jail Goose.’ She only plays in the ’high-stakes’ games."

Case closed. This explains why Black Swan fainted in front of Gintoki.

Gintoki’s memories... in any world, they’d rank high on the "explosive" chart.

"Jail Goose" has really "matured." She’s seen so many memories, and this time, she even tried to read Gintoki’s.

[Galactic Baseballer]: "The ’Goose-Sister’ strikes again... and again... and again."

Seeing Black Swan "fail"... wasn’t surprising at all. This Memokeeper loves high-stakes games.

You could say she’s unlucky, always trying to read the minds of "pros"... but she does survive every time. That’s a kind of luck.

[God of Justice]: "After seeing Gintoki’s memories, Ms. Black Swan... will definitely have a vivid memory of it."

[Shadowkhan Queen]: "What a poor ’goose’."

[Naughty Xi]: "If Black Swan uploads this memory to the Garden of Recollection... will it... ’corrupt’ the whole thing?"

[Earth Wrecker]: "You know... that’s actually possible."

[Sherry]: "Gintoki’s memories... are a form of ’memory pollution’."

[Ruan Mei]: "Using this world’s terminology... it would be a ’memetic virus’."

Odd Jobs Gin-san: "Hey, hey! That’s enough! Don’t talk about me like I’m some kind of ’virus vector’!"

Gintoki was speechless. What’s wrong with my memories?! I’m fine!

Besides, it’s not like I wanted to share them!

This weird woman just had to look! It’s all Black Swan’s fault!

...

When Kenji and the others arrived, Black Swan was just waking up from the "memory shock," her eyes still holding a "clear stupidity."

Aba... aba...

"’Jail Goose,’ how many fingers am I holding up?" Kenji asked, holding up a peace sign.

"2."

Black Swan answered instinctively. Kenji sighed, full of regret. "It’s over. ’Jail Goose’ has lost her mind. That’s clearly a ’V-for-Victory’ sign."

Black Swan: "???"

Black Swan, having regained her senses, was speechless. I’m perfectly fine! I’ve just... never seen memories like Gintoki’s before!

"Did you... really... do that... to a machine...?"

She couldn’t understand that behavior.

It’s not that ’human-machine’ love didn’t exist in the universe... but the thing Gintoki "did"... was a pure machine, with no intelligence!

And... he didn’t just "do" it... he... did a "windmill" with it.

There was just... so much... explosive content. She’d seen countless memories, but Gintoki’s... had shattered her scruples beyond repair.

"Shut up! You read my memories, and now you’re saying it?! Are you nuts?!"

Gintoki’s skin crawled. Don’t say it! It’s embarrassing enough! You don’t have to tell everyone!

"’Jail Goose,’ are you going to upload this memory to the Garden?" Kenji asked, intrigued.

"This..."

Black Swan hesitated. She... wasn’t sure if this memory would "corrupt" the Garden.

"...I’ll pass. This memory... is better kept to myself." After careful consideration, she decided not to.

Besides, she was a ’lone goose’. Her relationship with the other Memokeepers was... average.

And... she felt... a bit out of place in the Garden anyway.

Gintoki sighed in relief. Good. If that ’dark history’ got uploaded... the whole universe would know.

"’Jail Goose,’ how many times have you ’failed’ like this? Why don’t you ever learn?"

Kenji was amused. The curiosity of a Memokeeper... was just too strong. She doesn’t even do a basic background check... just dives right into the memories. She’s really not afraid of "crashing."

"How was I supposed to know this guy was also ’special’?"

Black Swan shrugged helplessly.

(Rewind) Earlier, when she saw Gintoki, she sensed a "unique" memory aura.

Having had the "feather-plucking" experience (with Kenji), Black Swan was extra careful this time. She confirmed Gintoki’s strength was "average" and...

...She made her move.

The result... was that she "crashed." Again.

Those "abstract," "no-scruples" memories... flooded her mind like a storm.

It was... too explosive. She fainted instantly.
