Class 3-Z Ginpachi-Sensei Lesson 2: Scaring People is Also a Technique (Part 1)

Years back I tried my hand at translating some of this novel. Since the adaptation is coming out soon, it reminded me of the project and I decided to pick it back up again. Since a translation of Lesson 1 already exists on the internet, I started with Lesson 2. This is a very amateurish fan translation, so keep that in mind! Please enjoy.

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.　（Goethe

I think so too. (Sakata Ginpachi)

No, please think for yourself sometimes. (Shimura Shinpachi)

Hyuu, the wind blew, shaking Shinpachi’s bangs.

10:00 p.m. He was in front of the main gate of Gintama High School.

It was scary, Shinpachi thought. The school at night was really scary...

No, whether it was a school, or a shinto shrine, or a temple, going anywhere at night would be scary. Although the phrase ‘School at Night’ was particularly creepy.

Really scary. Shinpachi didn’t have any thoughts besides that.

Shut away on the other side of the tightly closed iron gate, the unspeaking (obviously) school building sat. In the sky above the school building a huge full moon hung, or, should I say, the final boss was about to come out? It was an atmosphere like that.

Even so, Shinpachi hadn’t gone in.

Into the school at night.

To retrieve an item he’d left behind.

Scary. But he couldn’t wait until tomorrow morning. Couldn’t wait for the thing that he’d left inside his class desk. After returning home, and finishing his dinner and bath, he’d noticed it.

That was why he had come to retrieve it now.

Shinpachi placed his hands on the school gate firmly. The height of the school gate was just short of Shinpachi’s jaw. Climbing over it wouldn’t be easy, but it wasn’t impossible.

But the cold touch of the school gate, the sensation of the rough rust, and the sound of the metal creaking all shook Shinpachi’s resolve.

Well, Shimura Shinpachi, muster your courage!

So Shinpachi said to himself. He gripped the school gate hard with both hands, pulling his body up forcefully. In this way he got his right foot over the gate, and in that moment-

“What are you doing, punk!”

A sharp voice sounded behind him.

With a start, Shinpachi turned his head in that direction, and fell on his butt to the ground.

Ouch! Scary! Ouch-scary!

Panicking and in pain, Shinpachi got on all fours and raised his surprised face.

“What are you doing, aru? On the ground like that.”

Standing before him was class Z’s boisterous exchange student, Kagura-chan.

“Kagura-chan!” Shinpachi started to protest vehemently.

“What are you doing, you surprised me! Because of you my heart is beating like an alarm bell!”

“Trespassing is a criminal offense, aru.” Kagura-chan was remorseless.

“I wasn’t trespassing. I came to retrieve something I forgot.”

“Something you forgot?” Kagura-chan raised one eyebrow, and suddenly grabbed Shinpachi’s collar.

“Idiot! In life, sometimes by the time you realize you’ve forgotten something it’s too late!”

“What are you even talking about! I don’t get your vibe right now!” Shinpachi shook off Kagura’s arm.

“Or rather, why are you suddenly Kitakata Kenzou?”

And just as Shinpachi was getting into his tsukkomi role,

“I see, something you forgot.” Kagura-chan had already returned to his pace.

“If that’s the case then I’m the same, aru.”

“Huh, Kagura-chan too?” Shinpachi touched his glasses.

“That’s right, aru. I came to retrieve a lost item too, ne.”

“Is that so…”

Nodding his head, Shinpachi was struck with an idea.

The school at night was scary. But if they went together, the fear would be diminished, right? So, at once he said.

“Well then, Kagura-chan, let’s go get our lost things together. Look, since the school at night is frightening.”

Thereupon,

“No way, aru!” Kagura-chan said, grabbing his shoulder.

“You’re planning to take me to the field house at night and do something, aren’t you, aru?”

“Um, I, I didn’t say a single word about the field house, did I?”

“Men are all wearing wolf’s clothing, ne.”

“No, that is, I don’t need to be wearing that kind of thing.”

Oh, geez, Shinpachi thought to himself.

“We should go. You’re being too loud here; tomorrow at school there will be complaints.”

Yeah, yeah, I understand, aru, Kagura-chan said with a reluctant nod of agreement. 

And so together they pulled themselves over the gate.

“Heave-ho,” said Shinpachi.

“Set-go,” said Kagura-chan.

Then, at the moment when they both forcefully lifted their bodies.

“The school isn’t a love hotel, punk!”

It was the unexpected sharp voice, Part 2.

With a thud, Shinpachi and Kagura-chan both fell to the ground.

Again! Who was it! Shinpachi thought while lying on the ground on all fours. When he raised his head, there was - white-haired Sakata Ginpachi standing, with a cigarette in his mouth and a labcoat on even at that time.

With sleepy eyes, Ginpachi said,

“Hey, hey, Shinpachi. Are you having an illicit sexual relationship at school at night? Ozaki Yutaka is crying.”

“We weren’t doing something like that! Or rather, please don’t surprise me like that!”

The person beside Shinpachi protested,

“That’s right, aru! I think I’m having a heart attack, aru!” Kagura-chan also said.

But, ignoring their combined Sino-Japanese objection, Ginpachi asked,

“Or rather, what were you guys doing?”

“‘What,’ he asks. Kagura-chan and I came to get some things we forgot.”

“Things you forgot?” Ginpachi squinted.

“Well, if that’s the case, I guess I’m the same way.”

“Huh? Sensei too?”

Shinpachi asked, and Ginpachi replied, “That’s right,” listlessly.

“Yeah, the Jump I bought in the school store today, I left it in the staff room. Even though I returned looking forward to reading it, my plans all went awry.”

“Jump, was it…”

Although that seemed a very Ginpachi-like thing to forget, Shinpachi spoke up.

“But if that’s the case, it’s fine if you buy Jump at the convenience store. Why go through all this trouble…”

“You idiot,” said Ginpachi, breathing out smoke.

“Why would you buy two copies of the same Jump. Unless it has a Gintama cover, that is.”

“No, you’re a perfect narcissist, aren’t you.” Shinpachi gave a bitter smile.

“And?” said Ginpachi.

“What things did you guys come to get?”

“Um, I came for a CD,” Shinpachi answered.

“CD?”

“Yes. Today Otsuu-chan’s new album was released and I bought it from the school store, but I left it in my classroom desk.”

“Hmm.” Then with a small uninterested nod, “Then, you?” Ginpachi said, looking towards Kagura-chan.

“Sukonbu, aru!” Kagura-chan said cheerfully.

“Today during fifth period, I left my sukonbu behind in the art room. Moreover, it was unwrapped. Unless I retrieve it soon, tomorrow morning the art room will be filled with the smell of sukonbu.”

“Um, was that meant to be some new kind of terrorism,” Ginpachi interjected with a low voice.

“I mean, that kind of thing doesn’t even smell that strongly, does it.”

“Since I left behind seven pieces, the smell is intense, aru.”

“Yeah, we probably don’t need to discuss that any more,”

Ginpachi said, and then added, “Well, it’s fine, right.”

“So the three of us have matching faces. Together let's go on a lost article recovery tour.”

“No way, aru! What are two people planning to do bringing me to the science prep room at night, aru!”

Disregarding that Kagura-chan was grabbing onto her own shoulders, Shinpach and Ginpachi quickly held onto the school gate.

*

Well then, inside the school building at night.

Walking through a hallway devoid of life, Shinpachi, Kagura-chan, and Ginpachi were the Forgotten Item Recovery Trio.

The fluorescent lights in the corridor were out. The light source that illuminated their path was the moonlight shining in from the window.

Shinpachi and Kagura-chan’s slippers made a squish, squish sound, and behind them, Ginpachi’s cheap sandals made a slap, slap sound.

Three people were now walking towards the staff room. First they would recover Ginpachi’s Jump, then they would recover Shinpachi’s CD in Class 3-Z, and finally they would recover Kagura-chan’s sukonbu in the other building’s art room; that was the route that the three people had arranged.

“Even so it’s scary, to walk this way…”

As they walked through the dim corridor, Shinpachi timidly muttered.

Before long, the party was close to the staff room. Ten meters down the hallway, they could see a plate with “Staff Room” hanging from the wall.

Just as he saw the plate, Shinpachi suddenly remembered something.

A chill went through him, and he stopped in his tracks.

“Shinpachi, what’s wrong, aru?” Kagura-chan asked.

“Y- yeah,” Shinpachi gulped and said.

“No, I just recalled something unpleasant…”

“Something like shitting yourself on Parent Visitation Day during your first year?” said Kagura-chan.

“No, I don’t have that kind of past. Don’t make up things as you wish.”

After instructing the Chinese girl, Shinpachi continued.

“No, the thing I remembered was, you know… the ‘Seven Mysteries of Gintama High’ type of thing.”

“Seven mysteries?” Kagura-chan tilted her head.

just wanted to drop in to say hi! and just, there's something so wonderfully charming about your blog. it almost fills me with nostalgia, like how it was back when fandom stuff was mostly confined to the likes of livejournal and ff.net

anyway, happy end of year holidays friend 🧡 may next year bring us lots of anime-related, or unrelated joys. also, if you don't mind sharing your thoughts, what shows are you excited for next year? i'm particularly freaking out about a lot of season 2 stuff like kusuriya and my happy marriage! but other than that there seems to be so much to look forward to next year 🥰🥰

Omg, thank you so much.

I’ve been in this hellhole of a site for 12 whole years but I was already lurking for more than a year before I decided to join. So I’ve been around for 13 to 14 years, give or take. And I really feel nostalgic, now more than ever, about how it used to be at the beginning. This place was peak for creativity and just having fun with stuff anonymously, no strings attached. It was paradise, and still is, but now with way less people and way less traction. I’ve been careful to keep my editing style consistent for all these years so that I’d still remember the trends from Way Back. I’m glad it has the same effect on other people. So, know that your message has warmed up my heart! 💕

Happy year end holidays to you too! I’m sorry if I’m replying late to this! I hope the time difference wasn’t too big. 😭❤️

There’s actually a lot that I’m looking forward to next year! First of all, Tongari Boushi no Atelier and Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu! Secondly, the anime adaptation of City (I think KyoAni can’t possibly fuck this one up, it’s animation-focused with very little plot, so basically their forte) and the remake of Jigoku Sensei Nube (when the official Toei channel started broadcasting Nube as a 30-year anniversary commemoration, I could SMELL the remake coming and have not been normal ever since). Speaking of remake, there sure is a lot of remakes next year! There’s the remake of Anne of Green Gables, Versailles no Bara, As for the rest, Medalist, Witch Watch, Kowloon Generic Romance, Chuuzenji-sensei no Mononoke Kougiroku, Sakamoto Days and Dekin no Mogura.

Ofc, I’m also looking forward to the many sequels! That includes Kusuriya and WataKon, but also Hanako-kun, Aharen-san, Kaijuu 8-gou, Dandadan, Shoushimin, Kuroshitsuji, Hyakushou Kizoku, 3-nen Z-gumi Ginpachi-sensei (can you even call this a sequel??? lol) and of course, the last season of HeroAca. So far, this is my list!

And yes! Hope the universe hears you! May next year be a blast!
