Gintoki and Shinpachi looked in the direction the owner was pointing.
Below Kagura's name was Kiyoshi Godabayashi.
It showed that he had eaten eighteen bowls.
And the few above her were even more ridiculous.
In seventeenth place was Mitsuri Kanroji, with twenty-four bowls.
Above her was Asta in sixteenth place, who had eaten twenty-seven bowls.

Gintoki tremblingly raised a shriveled wallet that looked like a dead leaf, wanting to cry but having no tears.
"Yeah, Gin-san. For the days ahead, we'll probably have to go rummage through trash on the street."
Shinpachi
