Chapter 57: There Are Always a Few Words That Make You So Angry That You Can’t Suppress It [Rengokukan Part 1]

"In the red corner! The housewife who abandons her marriage and found her place on the battlefield! The Demoness, Haruna!" The host stood in the boxing ring and shouted, "In the blue corner! This lady, a former popular singer-turned boxing star! The fighting princess of song! Dynamite Otsuu!"

Looking at the two on the stage... an unknown creature and Otsuu-chan. Then looking at Shinpachi, who was wearing Otsuu-chan's personal guard uniform, and a group of Terakado Tsuu's personal guards. Then to Gintoki and Kagura beside him. Kawaki did not know what to say.

"Is the threshold of being a fan so high now?" Kawaki asked in confusion.

"Go for it! Otsuu-chan!" Shinpachi shouted.

"Why go for it? It's better for her to stop. She is going in the wrong direction." Gintoki said casually.

"Otsuu-chan has changed her profession to an idol who sings songs to fighters!" Shinpachi retorted.

"Once a person says such words, it's a warning sign. The noodle shop I often go to is also the same. [Next time, curry rice will be added to the menu]. After saying this, it closed soon after." Gintoki looked at Otsuu-chan, who had already started fighting on the stage.

"Right, right, idols just do the idol's business, and fixing those superfluous things will lead to a decline in popularity." Kawaki took over and said.

"That kind of thing is impossible! I will always love Otsuu-chan!" Shinpachi retorted, but then continued, "Hey, Kawaki-san, why did Kawaki-san come to such a place?"

"Ah, I was walking on the street. I don't know who pulled me over, and then I saw you." Kawaki replied and looked at the boxing ring, only to see that Otsuu-chan was holding a guitar and beating up the Demoness Haruna.

"Speaking of which, does Kawaki-san have a favorite idol? But it seems that Kawaki-san is not the kind of person who pursues idols." Shinpachi said matter-of-factly.

"Yes," Kawaki replied.

"I told you, there must be... Eh!" Shinpachi was shocked, "Really?"

"Yes, I like Izumi Sakai very much." Kawaki nodded and answered seriously.

"... Well, it seems that no one doesn't like her," Shinpachi rubbed his glasses, "Is there any kind of idol who is active in the showbiz."

"The FPS game has taken up too much of my time..." Kawaki replied again.

"Ah, I see..."

"What is a dream? It's very hard to have a dream, and it's very sad if you don't have it, but I'm deeply moved by the figure of you who opened the way with your own fists on such a thorny road!" Saying that Kagura directly jumped onto the boxing ring.

"Hey, is Kagura-chan stimulated by something?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.

"Ah, probably..." Shinpachi replied.

"Oh! Someone broke in! Who the hell is it!" The host shouted from below.

"My name is Antonio Kagura! Because of this, I am willing to help Otsuu-chan!" Kagura stood in front of Otsuu-chan and said with a ferocious face.

"Then, I will go first..." As he said that, Kawaki covered his face then walked out of the audience and walked straight to the exit.

Gintoki, "Me too..."

"Isn't this obviously illegal? Okita-san!" Shinpachi said, "No matter what, you're still a law-enforcement officer!"

"It's because I'm a law-enforcement officer that there's no way to make a move. In fact, it's just like this guy's Yoshiwara. There's always a strong power behind this thing." Sogo glanced at Kawaki and continued.

"Are you saying that Bakufu is also in cahoots?" Gintoki asked.

"If we act rashly, we, Shinsengumi, may collapse overnight. I really envy you who are free." Sogo replied.

"Speaking of which, I don't want to be a helper for you guys," Gintoki said without hesitation.

"It's so strange. I thought that you and I were the same kinds... and would hate this kind of thing to the point of wanting to vomit. Look over there." As he spoke, Sogo looked at the man on the stage with a red ghost mask on his upper body bare, "Rengokukan's' strongest fighter, Kidomaru. If we investigate him, we might find some clues."

"Hey!" Just as Gintoki was about to say something, he was interrupted by Sogo again.

"Don't worry, this is just a personal request of mine. Shinsengumi has nothing to do with this, and only I know about this place. So, please keep this matter a secret from Kondo and Hijikata-san." After saying that, Sogo glanced at Kawaki, "Also, it's very convenient to have you guys make a move, isn't it? This big shot of Yoshiwara seems to be your friend as well, right? He destroyed Rengokukan in one fell swoop, and then pushed all the blame onto Yoshiwara. Bakufu has nothing to say, right?"

"Hey! You have a good idea," Kawaki said with a sneer.

"Ah, it seems that I accidentally said what I was thinking." Sogo pretended to be surprised, "Well, that's it."

"Tsk, I'm actually very curious about what that background you are talking about. High official Bakufu? Or something else?" Kawaki asked curiously.

"[Tendoshu], have you heard of this name? They turned the Shogun into a puppet and are remaking this county just the way they like it. They are the guy who holds the real power in this country." At some point in time, Toshiro stood up behind the crowd and said, "This blood-soaked arena is [Tendoshu] playground."

Toshiro then looked at Sogo who was at the front and teased, "You still haven't forgotten your work during your rest day. It must have been hard on you. Why didn't I know that you were really a diligent workaholic in the past?"

After saying that, Toshiro pulled Sogo by the collar and left. However, he still turned around and reminded, "Forget everything that Sogo told you just now. Goodbye."

"This..." Shinpachi had yet to recover from Toshiro's words.

"Hey, calm down," Gintoki said.

"I'm already very calm..." Shinpachi retorted.

"I'm not talking about you!" Gintoki looked at Kawaki as he spoke, "Calm down, Kawaki!"

From the moment he heard the words [Tendoshu], Kawaki lowered his head and did not say a word. However, only Gintoki knew how painful it was for Kawaki, who was suppressing the crazy killing intent in his heart.

"Kawaki-san, you..." For a moment, Shinpachi felt as if he had felt the killing intent he had felt before from Kawaki.

"I'm fine," Kawaki raised his head and said with a smile. Then, he turned around and walked out.

"Kawaki-san, he... actually..." Shinpachi murmured.

"It's so cold-aru!" Kagura shivered and said.

"Really, things are getting more and more troublesome! This group of cops really know how to cause trouble!" Gintoki spat and cursed.

"Hey? Gin-san, are you going to intervene in this matter?" Shinpachi asked in surprise.

"The trouble is not here," Gintoki said as he looked at Kawaki's back, "It's that Monster..."
