"Yare yare, then I can only use a bit more strength." Saiki waved his hand.
"Boss... you..." Sogo looked at Kawaki in disbelief.
"Don't look at me. If you want to thank someone, go and thank the readers and the lousy authors." Kawaki waved his hand and said.
"Thank you..." Sogo lowered his head and muttered, his shoulders still trembling slightly.
...
Twenty minutes later, Law and Saiki walked out of the emergency room.
Sogo looked anxious and wanted to say something, but Law spoke first.
"It's no longer a problem. Just let the patient rest well." Law looked at Kawaki and said, "But after that, she should pay more attention to her diet. It is better to eat less spicy things. The patient's family should pay attention to this."
"I know! Thank you very much!" Sogo bowed his head and thanked him.
"I have done my things. Can I go?" Law said.
"Ah, thank you very much." Kawaki said with a smile, "I look forward to seeing you next time."
Then, Law looked at Saiki, who was beside him.
"Yare yare, troublesome things are always left to me." Saiki, who was holding three boxes of coffee jelly, said, "But there is no other way; only I can do it. Let's go, I will send you back to One Piece first, and then I will return."
"Wait! You haven't used Shamble on me yet!" Gintoki hurriedly stopped him.
However, before he could finish speaking, Saiki and Law had already disappeared from the spot.
"Really, it wasn't easy for us to work together. At least give us some benefits..." Gintoki said disdainfully. However, just as he finished speaking, Saiki once again appeared in front of everyone.
However, something was wrong. Saiki's entire body was drenched, and there was even a small octopus on his head.
"Hey, where did you send Law to..." Gintoki asked expressionlessly.
"The coordinates are slightly different," Saiki replied, "But don't worry, because there is no doubt that it is One Piece."
"Wait a minute!" Gintoki shouted, "Did you throw Law directly into the sea?! Is he okay? Is Law really okay?!"
"Finally, everyone in front of the screen, the DVD of "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K." is available in all major shopping malls, so be sure to support it!"
After saying this, Saiki disappeared in front of the crowd again.
"Did you appear again just to say this?!"
...
"However, in this way, Miss Mitsuba's life is saved." Kondo patted Sogo's shoulder and smiled, "In this way, you and Toshiro will be able to reconcile..."
"No, we will never be reconciled again..." Sogo raised his head and murmured, "That bastard..."
"Right! Deputy Chief!" At this time, Yamazaki finally remembered why he had come to the hospital, "Chief, it's not good! The Deputy Chief, the Deputy Chief, he rushed into the enemy's base camp alone!"
"Enemy? What enemy?" Kondo asked in confusion.
"The Deputy Chief found out that Miss Mitsuba's fianc, Kuraba Toma, is engaged in weapon smuggling with Jouishishi..." Yamazaki explained weakly.
"What did you say?!" Kondo grabbed Yamazaki by the collar and shouted, "Yamazaki, you bastard, why did you only say this now?!"
"I'm sorry! It was the Deputy Chief who didn't let me say it!" Yamazaki replied, "If it's known that the relatives have something to do with Jouishishi, Captain Okita's position in the Shinsengumi will not be guaranteed!"
Hearing this, Sogo's pupils contracted, 'I? For me? What exactly are you talking about... Why? Why?'
"That bastard Toshiro..." Kondo released Yamazaki, gritted his teeth, and muttered, "He planned to settle it by himself from the start. It's really... too reckless!"
"That bastard!" As he spoke, Sogo prepared to leave, but before he could even take a few steps, he was stopped by Kondo.
"You don't have to go; just stay here." Kondo said, "The current you will only be a hindrance, and those with confusion while holding a sword will only die."
"Do you want me to believe you?" Sogo muttered, "Stop joking around! I don't want to owe that guy a favor! Kondo-san, you misunderstood me. I'm not as pure as you think. I don't believe in others and will only think about my matters. Usually, when I'm with you, I always feel out of place. I'm different from you, so both my sister and you help that guy..."
Before he finished speaking, Kondo sent Sogo flying with a punch.
"That really hurts. Kondo-san, you are really strict with me." Sogo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"That's because you're still a kid." Kondo straightened his collar and said., "If Toshiro says the same thing, I will beat him up too. We have that kind of relationship! If anyone goes astray, the other two will beat him up! It has been like this since the beginning, so we will never go astray, and only then will we be able to live with our backs straight! We don't care about the generation gap that you created without permission! That kind of thing! No matter how many times, I will cross that layer of membrane and beat you up!"
Kondo's eyes finally softened, "This kind of partner is not something you can casually meet in your long life. I'm very lucky to meet two such bad friends in my life."
"Brother-in-law!" Kondo looked at Shinpachi beside him, "You have to remember these words clearly! After all, Shinsengumi can only be entrusted to you in the future! After I marry your sister!"
"Who is your brother-in-law!" Shinpachi kicked Kondo away again and scolded, "Also, don't casually ask someone else for that kind of thing!"
"This time, it was Kondo-san's fault." Sogo looked at Kawaki and Gintoki and said.
"Yes, I can't refute." Kawaki and Gintoki replied at the same time.
"Well, I have said what I should say. Sogo, if I make a mistake next time, you can beat me up." With that, Kondo stood up and walked toward the exit without looking back.
"Well, can I beat you up because you become a stalker? Kondo-san?" Sogo raised his hand and said.
"No need! I'm not a stalker; I'm just a hunter who hunts love!" Kondo stopped in his tracks and turned around to shout, "Also, take a look at the atmosphere! I finally thought of a handsome line; why did you think to that kind of place."
"It's clearly just a gorilla," Kawaki curled his lips in disdain, "In the eyes of the audience, you only said "Roar Roar Roar Roar" from beginning to end."
"Eh?! No way!" Kondo shouted, "I still want to take advantage of this opportunity to become the protagonist of a work!"
"No, no matter what, I won't let a gorilla be the protagonist of a work." Kawaki poured cold water on Kondo without thinking.
"In the Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the protagonist is a gorilla!" Kondo retorted.
However, after saying that, everyone laughed, and even Sogo couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, the confusion in your heart should have disappeared, right?" Kondo looked at Sogo with a serious face, "Then... it's time to return to the team! Sogo!"
"Yes!" Sogo stood up straight and saluted, then quickly ran to Kondo. However, Kawaki and Yorozuya trio were following closely behind him.
"You..."
"After all, I said in front of your sister that you are friends." Kawaki shrugged.
"Yes..." Gintoki picked his nose and said casually.
Looking at Shinpachi and Kagura, who was grinning and revealing a mouthful of white teeth, Kondo snorted and did not say anything.
'Sister, I am really lucky. It is difficult to find friends in a long life but in my life... I can meet so many bad friends...'
However, before he could finish thinking, Sogo saw Kagura with a treacherous face, 'This brat is not.'
...
At the dock.
"What a pity," Kuraba Toma stood on the container and looked at Toshiro, who was sitting on the ground with wounds all over his body, "Mitsuba will also feel sad, right? Her old friends were about to die. I originally wanted to get along well with you. If I could win over Shinsengumi, I would be able to trade freely. That's why I got close to a team member's relatives and even came to propose marriage. I didn't expect that she was actually a sickly person. I originally wanted to say that if I could control his sister, it would be easy to control Sogo-kun. However, I heard from the doctor that she was going to die soon. I really feel very regretful."
"Do you want to use that guy just to win us over from the beginning?" Toshiro lowered his head and snorted.
"I love her very much," Kuraba Toma said immediately, "Businessmen like things that can bring benefits to themselves. However, that is just a prop! I let that defective product experience ordinary people's happiness! She should be grateful to me!"
Hearing this, Toshiro took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and took a light puff, "I am also the same as you. I have done many excessive things in the past. And to top it off, I'm trying to kill the husband of a woman who's dying. I've gone too far."
"So you can say, we're like two of a kind," Kuraba Toma continued, "The demon Deputy Chief actually said such words. It seems that we will get along well."
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Toshiro stood up shakily with his sword in hand. Then, he raised his sword and wiped it with his hand, "I just want the woman I love to be happy. A life like that is impossible for a guy like me who lives by the sword. I just hope that she can form an ordinary family with ordinary people and have ordinary children. Just live an ordinary life. That's all..."
"So that's how it is." Kuraba Toma nodded slightly, "As expected, Samurai-sama's thoughts are not something that lowly people like us can speculate. Fire!"
The subordinate at the side did not move but stared at Kuraba Toma.
"What are you standing there for? Fire!" Kuraba Toma shouted again.
"Hey, hey, I don't think Ikkyu-san would say such words." Kawaki stood behind Kuraba Toma and pointed the umbrella in his hand at Kuraba Toma's head.
"No matter who it is, everyone will have a mid-age crisis, Kawaki," Gintoki also pointed his wooden sword at Kuraba Toma's head. "Monk also has all kinds of troubles."
"It's you!" Kuraba Toma was about to turn around, but he was stopped by another voice again.
"You can try," Sogo stood by and held the sword at Kuraba Toma's neck, "My sword was sharpened just yesterday, so it's very sharp. If you're not careful, your head will fall to the ground."
"Sogo-kun... you..."
"Speaking of which, Gintoki, did you hear what V-shaped bangs said just now?" Kawaki said in a low voice, "I really can't believe that I could hear something like that from his mouth."
"You're right. It seems like our Deputy Chief-sama is really a pure man," Gintoki replied in a low voice and then began to imitate Toshiro's expression just now, "I just want the woman I love to be happy."
After saying that, Gintoki couldn't help but laugh. Kawaki, who was beside him, couldn't help but laugh too.
"You two bastards..." Toshiro stood in the original place, gritting his teeth as he cursed.
Such a scene was simply known as a public execution.
"Speaking of which, Sogo-kun, did you record V-shaped bangs' words just now?" Kawaki asked again.
"Yes, I didn't miss a single word. I recorded it all." Sogo replied, "I will broadcast it on Shinsengumi station every day in the future."
"Remember to send me a copy. I will also broadcast it on Yoshiwara." Kawaki continued.
At this time, Toshiro wanted to kill these two people.
"You bastards..."
Before Toshiro could finish speaking, he heard a sound coming from behind him. Toshiro subconsciously turned around and saw Kondo leading a group of Shinsengumi to surround these ronin. Moreover, at this time, these members were all covering their faces and crying.
"I am so touched! Deputy Chief!" Yamazaki shouted with tears streaming down his face, "I, Yamazaki Sagaru, will support you for the rest of my life!"
"Me too!" The Shinsengumi members echoed at the same time.
At this moment, Toshiro seemed to have only two choices left. One was to kill everyone present, and the other was to commit seppuku...
...
Looking at his own team members escorting the prisoners into the police car one by one, Toshiro did not feel the slightest joy in his heart. If you wanted to ask why... Of course, it was too shameful! Forget about the others; why let them hear it!
"Actually, I drank a lot today," Toshiro explained solemnly with a finger extended, "So those words just now were just nonsense after getting drunk."
"Who would believe it!" Shinpachi shouted.
"It's time to go back." Kawaki twisted his neck and turned to leave. However, he stopped when he passed Toshiro. He whispered something and left without looking back.
"Shinpachi, Kagura, it's time for us to leave." Gintoki scratched his hair and turned to leave.
"En!" After responding, Shinpachi and Kagura followed him.
...
A month later, Yoshiwara.
"Alright! I won again!" Kawaki shouted excitedly while holding a game controller, "Amazing, Sogo-kun. I didn't expect you to be so talented."
"So-so." Sogo put down the game controller and said at the same time.
"Then, what happened after that? Your sister?" Kawaki asked aloud.
"Go back," Sogo replied, "I can't hide it. Ever since she found out that her fiancee is a prisoner, my sister has gone back. Although she didn't say anything, she acted as usual..."
"Is that so? What about V-shaped bangs?"
"He stayed in his room for a month." Sogo replied, "He just stepped out of the room yesterday. It was like nothing had happened. It was really unpleasant."
"Hahahaha," Kawaki laughed, "As expected, he really is V-shaped bangs."
"Boss, what did you say to Hijikata-san that day?"
"Nothing," Kawaki waved his hand and said casually, "I just said that his confession was really touching..."
"Really?"
"Ah, really."
With that, Kawaki picked up the super spicy rice cracker sent by Sogo from the side and ate it.
-----Dividing Line----
"Indeed, it is not wrong to hope that the person you love to be happy," Kawaki whispered, "But... have you ever thought that no matter who the other party is, if not you, she would not feel happy. Goodbye, pure V-shaped bangs~."
-----Dividing Line----
In a restaurant.
Looking at the pork chops in front of him that were covered with mayonnaise, Kawaki looked at Toshiro, who was sitting opposite him, expressionless.
"What do you mean?"
"Thank you. After all, I owe you a favor." Toshiro lightly puffed out a mouthful of smoke, "Eat it. No matter how much you eat today, it's fine. It's my treat."
"Hey, I'll kill you..."
(Mitsuba Arc, Over!)
