Chapter 174: Language Is Also a Power!
"No one said that!" Tsukuyo cursed. Then, she looked at Kawaki's lower body and said, "Moreover, you should be a... withered man, right?"
Hearing this, Kawaki became silent. He lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. However, in the eyes of Kagura, an inexplicable red flame ignited on Kawaki's body.
"After all, ever since you came to Yoshiwara, you have never..." Tsukuyo continued, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Kawaki.
"Shut... Shut up!" Kawaki raised his head, gritted his teeth, and looked at Tsukuyo fiercely. He stared with his red eyes and roared, "Just now... You seemed to have said something you shouldn't have said... Do you want to try what a man's real "Rhinoceros Beetle King" is! When I was already visiting the Red light District, you didn't even know the physiological structure of a man!"
"I'm just stating the fact... Well, although I said that, I won't look down on you." Tsukuyo showed a face of sympathy and then directly turned and left Kawaki's room, "You, hurry up..."
"Little uncle..." Kagura stood on tiptoe and patted Kawaki on the shoulder. She comforted him, "It doesn't matter. Men will become soft caterpillars at a certain age. Mommy said it before."
Kawaki, who was a little touched just now, spat out a mouthful of blood after this blow.
"Kawaki-sama!" A group of Hyakka members instantly rushed over and surrounded Kawaki.
"Could it be... that what Chief said is true?"
"How is that possible!"
"But... Kawaki-sama became like this after hearing those words..."
"In that case..."
Hearing these words, Kawaki directly knelt down and spat out a mouthful of blood again. He then rubbed his chest and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He raised his head to look at the group of Hyakka members and explained, "Those words are forbidden for any man... My body is fine! My [Rhinoceros] is still alive! If it goes to sumo, it will definitely become a horizontal guard! There is no sign of degenerating into a caterpillar! Don't listen to that stinky woman's nonsense!"
"At this time, men are very concerned about their faces. Even if they really can't do it, they will refute it with a strong attitude." Kagura said seriously, "That's what Mommy said-aru."
"Don't mess things up anymore, okay?" Kawaki scolded, "How could Sister Kouka tell you this? You made it up!"
"If a man shows more and more angry face at this time, it means that it's true!" Kagura said again, "This is what Mommy told me-aru."
"How is that possible!" Kawaki retorted.
"He's already starting to become flustered and exasperated. At this time, it can already be 100% sure-aru!" Kagura spoke again.
"..."
...
In the forest on the outskirts of Edo.
Kagura stood in front of a group of Hyakka members. Her eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Beside Kagura was a casual-looking Tsukuyo. As for Kawaki, he walked at the back with a face full of despair. Of course, no man would pretend not to hear her words. After all... that was the dignity of a man!
"Catch, ah!"
"Hunting, hunting, beetle~" Kagura bounced as she sang a song to lead the way. But suddenly, Kagura stopped.
The people behind also stopped.
"That is..." Tsukuyo followed Kagura's gaze and saw naturally wavy hair and glasses setting up a tent.
"Gin-chan, you're about the same," Kagura said again.
"Don't be silly. How can such words make me angry?" Gintoki waved his hand and said casually.
However, just as he finished speaking, Shinpachi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up again. He grabbed Kagura's shoulder and glared with his big red eyes, "Are you looking down on virgin? Don't look down on a virgin, you bastard! A man who still carries out the path of a virgin at the age of thirty can be reborn as the Taka Kato, the God Hand/Finger!"
"Hey, calm down, Shinpachi." Gintoki patted Shinpachi on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's not a big deal. Don't be so excited. Anyway, it is destined to be a virgin forever."
"Who are you saying is destined to be a virgin forever?" Shinpachi roared.
"Of course it's you," Gintoki replied matter-of-factly.
"How pitiful, that young forever virgin."
"Yes, the young man destined to be a virgin forever."
Listening to the whispers of the group of Hyakka members, Shinpachi also fell to his knees, forming a duo with Kawaki.
...
"Shinpachi, do you want revenge?" Kawaki asked Shinpachi in a low voice.
"Revenge? What do you mean?" Shinpachi asked in a low voice.
"Girls are afraid of that, aren't they?" Kawaki's face exuded a dangerous (black belly) aura.
"That?"
"Yes, that," Kawaki whispered, "I know you're going to stay here for a day and a night, right? How about we have a courage test? Gintoki is also afraid of that kind of thing... so..."
"You mean we are going to pretend to be a ghost to scare people."
"Your voice is too loud! You will be heard!" Kawaki knocked on Shinpachi's head and continued, "If you want to take revenge, you can only take advantage of tonight. When we split up to capture the beetle later, you and I will be in a group. The two of us will make a good arrangement..."
After saying that, Kawaki chuckled...
"But I feel that it is not very good..." Shinpachi muttered.
"How could that be? Can you bear Gintoki's insult to you just now?" Kawaki continued to bewitch Shinpachi, "You are a man. How can a man choose to endure such a joke? This is all for the dignity of a man!"
As he spoke, Kawaki looked at Tsukuyo, who was commanding Hyakka to set up tents. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said, "This time, I will pay back the humiliation I have suffered!"
...
"Alright, the tent has been set up. Let's begin the hunt for the Rhinoceros Beetle!" Tsukuyo stood in front of the group of Hyakka members and announced.
"Oh!" The Hyakka members shouted excitedly, and then they turned their eyes to Kawaki, who was whispering to Shinpachi.
Feeling a chill behind him, Kawaki turned around and saw the Hyakka members holding a net with fierce eyes, staring at him as if he was prey, and could not help but shiver.
"They... what are they hunting..." Shinpachi retorted expressionlessly.
