The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"You guys accept things too easily, okay? And what are you eating right now?" Shinpachi's吐槽 (tu cao, a form of sarcastic commentary) power increased further, reaching the Demon level.

Chapter 143 The Cosmic Monster Sadaharu

"Chew, chew, chew... I saw a piece of meat that had fallen on their table, so I politely went over and asked if I could have it. She immediately agreed, aru... chew, chew, chew."

Kagura pointed at Mami Tomoe, who was still standing there in a daze: "That girl is really a very kind person, aru!"

"Why would you eat something someone else dropped on the table?!" Shinpachi couldn't hold back any longer. "And what kind of person would agree to such an outrageous request?!"

After instinctively making a comment, Shinpachi realized something was wrong.

Oh no... I accidentally made fun of an outsider.

Shinpachi stiffly turned his head toward Mami Tomoe, gave a dry laugh, and was about to explain and apologize when Gintoki spoke first.

"Oh, isn't that Nagisa?"

Gintoki pressed Sadaharu's head with both hands, turned his head slightly away, and looked at Mami Tomoe's table.

He didn't recognize Mami Tomoe, nor did he recognize Madoka Kaname or Kyoko Sakura. But he did recognize Nagisa Momoe.

He had longed for Hyakue Nagisa's ultimate technique for a long time!

Although that ultimate move doesn't seem very serious, it's still a powerful and cool ultimate move no matter what!

"I remember you were a magical girl like Homura... So these are your companions?"

Gintoki saw the Soul Gem on Mami Tomoe's head and immediately understood.

Born in an era of Amanto colonization, the people of their world weren't exactly happy. But for a magical girl like this, whose very soul was used as a tool, her misery was unparalleled.

Bai Jiangzhu shook his head.

"No, Asami is not Nagisa's companion."

Mami Tomoe, who was already amazed by the amazing people at the Yorozuya, was greatly shocked when she heard this.

"So this is how Nagisa sees me...?"

She had initially thought that she was at least needed by someone, and not alone. But was it just wishful thinking on her part?

“Mami-san, she…”

With a serious expression, Bai Jiangzhu spoke her true feelings in the loudest voice.

"She's someone who could be Nagisa's mother!"

"You really said something remarkable!"

Murphy, who was helping Sadaharu take orders, couldn't help but gasp.

Sure enough, all the customers in his shop were incredibly skilled!

Mami blushed, her feelings a mix of emotions. Nagisa was small, well-behaved, and adorable. Sometimes, looking at her, she did feel a surge of maternal love.

But after all, they're only a few years apart. What's with treating her like a mother?!

"Akatsuki...Homura!" Mami Tomoe gritted her teeth. She suddenly remembered that Homura Akemi had said something similar when she brought Nagisa Momoe over. It must be because she had said something inappropriate again that the well-behaved Nagisa had such strange thoughts!

After all, that guy has a criminal record. What Dark Legion's vanguard... wasn't that all made up by her?

"Mom? Daughter?"

Shinpachi's glasses have turned into round eyes.

Before they came to the tavern, Gintoki had given them an emergency lesson, telling them that taverns and their guests should not be judged by ordinary standards.

Now he's truly understood...

"Isn't this just like the weirdos we encountered in our original world?"

However, Shinpachi couldn't hold back and slammed his fist on the table, shouting.

Before I knew it, he had also sat down at the table.

"Yo, Shinpachi, you're here!" Kagura mumbled, still chewing on her food. "Tell me, who invented this stuff? It's so delicious."

"Did you really just pick up the meat that fell off someone else's table and eat it?" Shinpachi became suspicious of Kagura.

He knew all too well how terrifying this woman's appetite was.

Before Kagura arrived, Gintoki was always late with his wages, but they could still afford to eat hot pot occasionally.

But ever since Kagura arrived, they've basically only been able to buy discounted food from the supermarket at 8 PM.

When Kagura arrived at the beginning of the month, there was a time when they almost couldn't even get white rice to eat.

Fortunately, Gintoki suddenly found a large sum of money from somewhere. Not only did he unusually pay off the rent, but he also gave him and Kagura a lot of pocket money.

He and Kagura were extremely worried during those days. They even thought that Gintoki had a terminal illness and had gone to sell his organs.

"The manager is a good person. After I finished eating, he gave me a few more pieces of dried meat!"

After Kagura finished speaking, she gave Murphy a sweet smile.

“Don’t mind!” Murphy gave a thumbs up.

"This is also a specialty of our shop, Gabarton jerky. Would you like a few pieces?"

As he spoke, Murphy took out a few more pieces of dried meat and asked Shinpachi.

"Me too!" Sadaharu, who was originally competing with Gintoki, gave up on Gintoki and obediently sat down in front of Murphy.

Sadaharu is a very intelligent dog.

Upon entering the bar, it immediately realized that Murphy was the person it absolutely could not afford to offend, and therefore dared not act presumptuously in front of him.

Murphy reached out and scratched Sadaharu's chin, and Sadaharu immediately made a snoring sound.

"What a fine dog!" Murphy was smitten with the fluffy Sadaharu: "Hey, wanna come work for me? I guarantee a generous salary and excellent benefits!"

As a reputable bar, it's perfectly reasonable for it to have a mascot, right?

"That's a great idea!" Gintoki immediately raised both hands in agreement: "Hey, Sadaharu, I think this is a good suggestion. You're a grown-up dog now, you should be able to support yourself! From now on, you can work for the manager!"

Gintoki was suffering.

The Yorozuya already had Kagura, a big eater, and that wasn't enough. Kagura even picked up another big eater.

He had done the math before and discovered that Dingchun's weekly food expenses amounted to a staggering 100 million! Although it was later discovered that he'd overcharged due to drinking too much at a bar, it was still incredibly extravagant!

Ten million yen! Damn, that's enough to buy Jump for over 400 years!

However, Gintoki is a man of his word. Since he promised Kagura to take in Sadaharu, he wouldn't break his promise no matter how difficult things got.

But if Dingchun also becomes an employee of the bar, given the manager's generosity, I won't have to worry about his food expenses anymore. That would be fantastic!

"I'm not just here to work. I hope that Sadaharu can join the pub directly and become a member of the pub community."

Since it's a mascot, it should stay at the bar forever.

"No, aru!" Kagura hugged Sadaharu tightly, staring warily at Murphy: "Sadaharu will never leave the Yorozuya."

"I think so too," Shinpachi added timidly from the side.

When there was no need to complain, his imposing manner instantly vanished.

Gintoki, who had been beaming with joy, also stopped smiling. He glanced at Sadaharu, then at Murphy, who was looking on expectantly.

"This is a matter for Sadaharu to decide."

“Ah Yin!” X2.

Kagura and Shinpachi were taken aback by his words: "Have you forgotten that Sadaharu is also part of our family?!"

The two of them struck a pose like the female leads in a morning drama, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Gintoki ignored them: "Sadaharu, let's get this straight. Whatever you think, I'll support you. The manager is not only an incredibly powerful alien, but also extremely generous. In terms of strength, I think if the manager wanted to, he could probably wipe out all the Celestials from our world in one fell swoop. As for generosity, based on my personal experience, even though I'm just a temporary worker, I can still eat as much sweets as I want every day. Regular employees even have exclusive enhancement and modification benefits."

"All-you-can-eat desserts?" Kagura, who was still reluctant to part with Sadaharu, was displeased upon hearing this.

"Ah Yin, so you've been secretly eating all this time, aru? No wonder you've been eating so little lately since you came back. You're so cunning, aru!"

"Ah Yin, didn't the doctor tell you not to eat sweets? You've been too indulgent. Aren't you afraid your blood sugar will explode? You need to go to the hospital for a checkup when you get back!"

While making sarcastic remarks, Shinpachi was also worried about Gintoki's health.

"Don't worry, I'm better than ever!" Gintoki said nonchalantly, "This tavern has amazing monster cuisine. I feel better than ever before!"

"No. Although monster food is indeed rich in nutrients and energy, and has a certain strengthening effect on the body, if you consume too much and don't pay attention to your health, you will still get sick."

Murphy ruthlessly shattered Gintoki's fantasy: "Food is just food; it can't replace medicine. Even among aliens, there are many sick people. Do you think the aliens in your world never get sick?"

"What?!" Gintoki, who had been so smug, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Can't monster cooking enhance physical abilities?"

"Yes, but it's a gradual process. Besides, you didn't actively digest the nutrients and energy from it!"

Murphy glanced sideways at Gintoki. Even steroid warriors injected with the power of the Nine Dragons still need to train. Could he really be getting it just by eating?

Frustrated, Gintoki hugged his knees and huddled in a corner.

Could it be that this brief month of joy might be the last hurrah?

He ate an unknown amount of sweets this month; his insulin levels must have exploded long ago.

"Excuse me, what are the exclusive modification and enhancement benefits?" Dingchun was very curious about this.

"This is a monster bar. So all the employees have to be monsters."

Dingchun's eyes widened, and his whole body bristled.

"You want to turn me into a monster?"

The image of cyborgs he had read about in the book flashed through Sadaharu's mind, and he immediately retreated, shrinking his massive body behind Kagura.

It is happy with its current appearance and does not want to become a tin dog.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on Sadaharu!" Kagura immediately spread her arms wide like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"I'm not some kind of devil, of course I wouldn't force anyone to undergo modification." Murphy was both annoyed and amused.

"Also, don't misunderstand. Sadaharu doesn't need this kind of modification. It was originally an extraordinary being. According to the classification of our universe, it was originally a type of monster."

Everyone exclaimed, "A monster?" Even Gintoki, who was looking dejected under the table, looked up.

"This guy just looks like a big dog, you can't see how he resembles a monster at all!"

Just then, Scorpion Lai Lai, who was serving the dishes, heard this and couldn't help but point at Ding Chun and question him.

“But I’ve never seen such a big dog before!” Spider Detective, who came over to serve the food, placed the dishes on the table.

"It looks bigger than a cow!" Spider Detective gestured wildly, even taking a breath to make his body swell up as well.

In reality, Dingchun only weighs 300 kilograms, which is about the same size as a typical small yellow cattle. It's just that its fluffy fur makes it appear exceptionally large.

"No, I think robots like you are much rarer..." Shinpachi retorted. Even though the Celestials brought a bunch of random things to Earth, he had never seen a robot with such rich emotions and expressions, one that was so human-like.

"Deep within its body lies an extremely powerful force. Sadaharu's current appearance is merely a form in which this power is suppressed."

Murphy saw through Sadaharu's true intentions at a glance. Furthermore, he sensed traces of Sadaharu's long-term immersion in high-quality energy.

Hmm, this feeling... I feel like I've encountered similar energy somewhere before.

Murphy pondered for a moment, and finally remembered.

Many years ago, he heard a rumor called the Voice of the Stars: it was said that every planet actually possessed consciousness. And some particularly powerful planets were even able to transmit their voices to those they chose, granting them the power to create miracles.

That power, or phenomenon, is known as the Voice of the Stars.

This was highly attractive to him at the time, when he was still a qualified Mefilas alien.

So during that time, he secretly infiltrated many planets to study their origins. Unfortunately, in the end, he didn't discover anything that could be called a Voice of the Stars.

During that time, he encountered many monsters that guarded the planet. They were often local guardian deities, possessing considerable power.

Unfortunately, they encountered Murphy. Fortunately, even before Murphy regained his original nature, he wasn't bloodthirsty, so he only beat them up and released them after completing his research.

Those monsters regarded as guardian deities often possess the power and protection of the planet.

And the current Sadaharu is very similar to them.

Murphy's interest in the furry dog ​​grew even stronger at the thought that it might also be a guardian spirit.

He had wanted to subdue a guardian spirit back then. Unfortunately, his first impression wasn't good, and these guardian spirit monsters were all stubborn, each taking the protection of their home planet as their greatest mission. Even the one or two guardian spirit monsters that he occasionally got along with refused to leave him.

Now, it seems he can finally realize his dream!

"Speaking of which, Sadaharu just said he's a Komagami..." Shinpachi, despite being a sarcastic character and often told he has no redeeming qualities, is actually quite thoughtful.
