Chapter 268: Not Everything Can Be Decisively Decided!

Shinsengumi, in front of Ito's house.

It was dusk. Yamazaki was hiding in a corner, eavesdropping on the conversation between Ito and his subordinates. This was what Toshiro had secretly told Yamazaki before he was forced to leave Shinsengumi.

After hearing Ito say, "Assassinate Kondo Isao! Make Shinsengumi my own!" Afterward, Yamazaki, who was hiding at the side, was shocked. 'That man is indeed as the deputy chief said! No, I have to tell the deputy chief and chief! If I don't hurry up...'

At this moment, Ito looked at the corner where Yamazaki was hiding and revealed an incomparably bloody smile... At the same time, Yamazaki also felt a chill behind his back. Before he could turn around to look, he was slashed down from behind by a sword! However, due to his quick reaction, Yamazaki quickly rolled to the side to avoid fatal injuries.

This sword hit Yamazaki's arm. Looking at the crowd of strangers gathered around him, Yamazaki did not have time to think. He turned around and ran toward the wall. He gritted his teeth and jumped hard out of the wall.

...

"Those strangers are definitely rebels!" Yamazaki covered the injured part and ran into the forest, "I didn't expect that Ito would actually join hands with those people! I have to tell the deputy chief quickly..."

Before Yamazaki could finish speaking, a figure suddenly flashed out from the side and arrived in front of Yamazaki. Without any explanation, he stabbed Yamazaki's chest.

"You... you are..." Yamazaki spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then, he looked at the person and muttered, "Kiheitai... Manslayer... Kawakami Bansai..."

Bansai did not answer. After pulling out his sword, he slowly walked to the side while Yamazaki fell to the ground.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Yamazaki struggled to turn his head to look at the person. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ito, you bastard! Have you joined forces with the enemy?!"

"Yamazaki, if you are an idiot who only knows how to swing your sword, the world will not change." Ito, who came behind Yamazaki, pushed up the glasses on his face and said, "We must be smarter. No matter how you swing your sword, evil will never be extinct. To put it bluntly, if there is no crime, there is no need for us police to exist. "We" should communicate more as partners to maintain the greatest interests of both sides."

"It is impossible for Shinsengumi to become stronger with the way your boss does it. Therefore, let Shinsengumi be reborn in my hands. Stronger... even more powerful... This way, I, Kamotaro Ito, will become the ark to guide the world!"

"Do what you want!" Yamazaki struggled to crawl forward bit by bit, "If you want to do it, do it... But let me say this... We may be uneducated and... Uh... can't tell how skilled you are... But no one will follow an empty vessel with no bushido or principles... I will follow them...until the end..."

Looking at the long blood trail Yamazaki dragged on the ground, Ito pushed his glasses again and chuckled twice, "Hehe, before you died, you wanted to report to them. Is that your bushido as a spy?"

As he spoke, Ito directly turned around and led his subordinates away. He said lightly, "Bansai-dono, I'll leave the rest to you."

After hearing this, Bansai turned around and slowly followed in the direction Yamazaki had moved.

After a pause, Ito's voice which was a few degrees higher, came again, but this time, it should be directed to Yamazaki.

"I will give you the honor of fighting to the death with the Jouishishi member. Aren't you glad? You can maintain that bushido you love so much. I'll be sure to tell your superior that... No... I suppose there's no need for that. They'll be headed to where you're going soon enough... Hahahaha..."

Listening to Ito's voice getting further and further away, as well as the footsteps of Bansai, who was gradually approaching behind him, Yamazaki finally reached his limit...

Yamazaki turned around and looked at Bansai, who was raising his sword toward him. He made up his mind and closed his eyes, ready to meet his death, 'I can't accept this! To die without getting rid of my virginity! I really can't accept this!!'

However, after half a minute.

Yamazaki did not feel any pain. Finally, he could not help but open his eyes to take a look. He saw Bansai wipe the blade with his clothes and put it away.

"My mood has changed, and I want to listen to your song again." After saying that, Bansai turned around and left, "Live on, I'm looking forward to... the day when I hear the song's sequel..."

...

In the evening, Yoshiwara.

Kawaki leaned against the window of Tsukuyo's room and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.

After a long silence, Bansai said, "The White Yaksha said that the things he wants to protect have never changed. Shinsuke, do you know what he is referring to? I'm fascinated by his song. I have indeed lost..."

Takasugi did not say anything...

"By the way, what about you, Shinsuke?" Bansai seemed to have suddenly thought of something, "Have you found the answer you want to know after meeting that person?"

"It's no longer important," Takasugi replied.

However, at this moment, Kawaki directly kicked open the door and rushed in. He then shouts at Takasugi and Bansai, "Can't the two of you be a little more self-conscious of being a guest?! Can't you see what time it is?! You kept playing that broken lute; it's so noisy, bastards! Believe it or not, I'll throw the two of you out, bastard! "

"Ah, I'm really sorry, Kawaki-dono." Bansai put down the lute in his hand and stood up. He looked at Kawaki and nodded slightly to express his apology.

"It's only been a day since we last met, but you have become like this." Kawaki asked Bansai with a sigh, "Could it be that you, like Zura, secretly entered the lion's territory in the zoo to observe the meatball up close?"

"Although the one I met was not a lion, it was a beast that was even more powerful than a lion." Bansai chuckled.

"I see..." Kawaki nodded, then patted Bansai on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Next time, don't go to such a dangerous place. When you go to the zoo, just stand outside the cage and watch from afar. Otherwise, you might not be so lucky next time. You might be directly eaten, hahaha..."

After saying that, Kawaki turned around, yawned, and waved his hand, "Remember, don't play anymore. After playing the game for a day, I also need to have a good rest now..."

After that, Kawaki left directly.

After Kawaki left, Bansai wiped the sweat off his face and muttered to himself, "Was what Kawaki-dono said just now a warning? What a terrifying aura..."

"Have you really... made up your mind? Kawaki..." Takasugi murmured...

...

The next day, Takasugi and Bansai left Yoshiwara.

It was worth mentioning that after Takasugi left, everything in Kawaki's room was thrown out. All the furniture, including the floor, was replaced with new ones.

Even Kawaki was not clear about the cause of this matter...

Just as Takasugi left, Gintoki, wrapped up like a mummy, came to Yoshiwara...

...

"Takasugi... has he been here before?" In Kawaki's room, Gintoki lay on the floor and asked without beating around the bush.

"Yes." Kawaki, who was constantly operating the game controller, replied without looking back, "Why are you asking this? Do you want to hold an old friend meeting with me? Sure, but it's best if you don't call me along. I just had a conflict with Takaji..."

"Is that so..." Gintoki murmured, "Have you made up your mind, Kawaki?"

Kawaki's hand paused for a moment, but then he focused all his attention on the game.

"Tell me, where are you looking at now?" Gintoki sat up and asked seriously.

Hearing this, Kawaki couldn't help but laugh. Then he put down the game controller and turned to look at Gintoki with a smile, "By the way, have you three already reconciled? Why do you ask the same questions?"

"Don't play dumb! Answer me!" Gintoki shouted.

Laughing, Kawaki pointed to his eyes and then pointed to the floor in front of him and in front of him, "All I see is my feet and front."
