Chapter 141: Be Careful About Changing Your Look! (Benizakura Sword Part 1)

"Moths flew in the darkness. In the deep darkness, moths just fly blindly. Scared of the dark and searching for light, it flew on..."

"The moth that found the light flew towards the light. However, the moth at that time could no longer full its consciousness for the light."

Following Okada Nizou's monologue, also known as Nizou the Butcher or Manslayer Nizou. On this night in Edo, Kiheitai appeared with Takasugi in the lead. Kiheitai stood on the deck of the spaceship and looked at the night sky.

"Everyone, please be absolutely safe!" Takechi Henpeita reminded.

"There's no need to worry, Senpai." Kijima Matako played with the two guns in her hands and casually replied.

"The only people who are active on the surface and in the open are me." Kawakami Bansai said.

"Let's go. Our legendary curtain has been drawn..."

...

A few days later, Yoshiwara.

Kawaki lay on the roof and looked up at the moon that was covered by clouds in the sky.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Tsukuyo asked at the same time as she jumped up.

"What am I doing? Of course, I'm admiring the moon." Kawaki casually replied.

"Indeed, if it were the previous Yoshiwara, this kind of scenery is really rare," Tsukuyo replied.

"I always feel that it is a little too quiet..." Kawaki murmured.

"Quiet? What nonsense are you talking about?" Tsukuyo looked at the idiot as she pointed at the bustling crowd on Yoshiwara's street.

"I'm not talking about that..." Kawaki was a little speechless, "What about you? Don't you need to go on patrol?"

Just as Kawaki finished speaking, Tsukuyo directly jumped down.

Looking at Tsukuyo's back, Kawaki was a little confused.

"What a strange woman."

Just as Kawaki finished sighing with emotion, he heard Tsukuyo's voice again.

"I heard that there has been a murderer on the street of Edo recently. Don't be careless and get killed by some strange guys."

...

On the other side, Katsura, who was walking on the bridge wearing a monk's bamboo hat, was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Sorry to bother you. You should be Sir Katsura Kotarou, right?" Okada, who was wearing a bamboo hat, stood behind Katsura and said.

"You have the wrong person." After saying that, Katsura prepared to leave.

"Don't worry, I'm not one of those Bakufu's dogs." There was a hint of ridicule in Okada's voice.

"You're a dog, but more like the bloodthirsty, rabid kind." Katsura said without turning his head, "Recently, there have been people killing people on the streets to test their swords. However, you better choose an opponent that you can handle."

With a chuckle, Okada held the sword at his waist and posed, "Unfortunately, my partner and I want to taste the blood of an expert like you. So, can you exchange a few moves with me? By the way, comment on the gap between my sword and that beast..."

With that, Okada rushed to Katsura.

"That sword is..."

"I don't know what you are talking about. I'm just going to buy a game. This one has been cleared." Kawaki replied casually and walked out without looking back.

Tsukuyo stepped into the room and glanced at the eye-catching [GAMOVER] on the computer screen.

"What an honest man..."

...

At the same time, Gintoki also accepted a job to find the stolen [Benizakura] from the swordsmith siblings Tetsuko and Tetsuya. Immediately afterward, he also began to search for the demon sword's trace.

...

Earth Defense Base, i.e. the Recycle shop or second-hand store.

"Demon sword? Why would such a thing appear in the Recycle shop?" The proprietress leaned on the bar counter and said casually.

"No, no, no. It is already an era that sells demon swords openly." Gintoki said from the side, then continued to look for something on the shelf.

"The kind you are talking about is all fake," The proprietress replied.

"I went to many pawn shops but there was none. I thought it must have been sold. But now it seems that the purpose is not money." Gintoki said casually.

"I don't know the demon sword you are looking for, but I have heard of the legend about an interesting sword." The proprietress turned to look at Gintoki and continued.

"Do you know about the Tsujigiri that has been happening frequently recently? Anyone who crosses him is cut down, but it seems that someone has seen it in the distance. It is said that the sword that the person is holding is more like a living creature than a sword. Well, you have to be careful of the murderer."

...

It was already nighttime.

There were currently three waves of people searching for a murderer on the street. One was Elizabeth and Shinpachi, the other was Gintoki, who had gotten clues from the recycling shop owner, and Kawaki, who was wandering on the street.

As for Kagura and Sadaharu, they were searching for Katsura's scent.

...

"Report! Elizabeth-senpai! I bought yakisoba bread!" Shinpachi held a bag of fried bread and shouted at Elizabeth who was carrying a sword on his back.

[All I want is croquette bread. ]

Elizabeth took out his wooden board without looking back.

"Well, the croquette bread was sold out, so I bought something similar. I'm really sorry!" Shinpachi explained.

With that, Shinpachi took two steps forward and came behind Elizabeth, "How is it? Has the murderer appeared? But I always feel that it is a little risky. Asked the murderer directly about Katsura-san, and we are not sure whether the person is the murderer."

Just as Shinpachi finished speaking, Elizabeth pulled out the sword and waved it at Shinpachi. Fortunately, Shinpachi had quick eyes and quickly dodged to the side.

"What are you doing?" Shinpachi, who was still in shock, roared as he sat on the ground.

Elizabeth, who had evolved into a thick eyebrow with a cigar in his mouth, raised his wooden board, [Don't stand behind me]

"You're so long-winded! You clearly have a body that can't tell the front and back!" Shinpachi cursed.

But just at this moment...

"Hey, what are you doing in this place? What a suspicious guy..." The officer on patrol noticed Shinpachi and Elizabeth.

"What? So it's an officer. Don't scare me." Shinpachi said happily. That just now really scared Shinpachi into a cold sweat.
