Chapter 267: The Meaning of Not Being Able to Save Everyone Is Completely Different From Never Thinking About Being a “Savior”!

"And..." As he spoke, Kawaki looked at Tsukuyo, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile, "Did you misunderstand me? I, never thought of being a great guy like a [Savior]."

"Regarding this, I already knew..." Tsukuyo gently puffed out smoke and then turned to look straight at Kawaki's face. Although Kawaki was always smiling, Tsukuyo could sense a hint of bitterness from his smile.

After a moment of silence, Tsukuyo turned around and walked to the door. However, when she reached the door, she stopped and said, "Your smile is too fake. Change it."

"Ah?! Really?!" Kawaki scratched his head awkwardly.

"Ah, yes." Tsukuyo replied, then spoke again, "Not being able to save everyone... is completely different from never thinking about being a "savior". Don't make a mistake next time."

Hearing this, Kawaki couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he spoke again, "As expected, Tsukki, you are really smart. Hahahaha... Actually, it doesn't matter. Takaji has no interest in those people at all. Of course, that being said, if it is him who makes a move, I would also be worried for Sogo-kun and the others."

"However, even if Takaji really wants to destroy Shinsengumi in one fell swoop, that idiot would not just stand by and watch." Kawaki continued, "We have been in this relationship since the beginning."

Thinking of the silver-haired natural wavy hair, Tsukuyo snorted lightly, "So that's how it is. Is it because of that person's existence that you are obediently staying here... And saying that you are not interested. You are really a man who is not frank at all. Idiot!"

"Is that so?" Kawaki asked doubtfully. Then, he clasped his hands and nodded heavily, "Yes, it can't be wrong! It must be like this! That's exactly what I thought! Tsukki, you are really the paperworm in my stomach~"

"It should be a roundworm, right?" Tsukuyo was a little speechless.

After a pause, Tsukuyo turned around and looked at Kawaki again, "That man's goal... is you, right?"

"Please don't say such scary words!" Kawaki held his chest and said in horror, "There is absolutely no way that any BL development will happen in this work! Absolutely impossible!"

After a long silence, Tsukuyo finally resisted the urge to pull out a kunai to kill this idiot, turned around, and walked out without looking back.

"Also, I thank you on behalf of all the girls in Yoshiwara..." Tsukuyo said again, "To... you who saved them."

Hearing this, Kawaki's expression softened a little. He slowly turned his head and looked out the window...

...

At the same time, in the dojo of the Shinsengumi headquarter.

A few of Shinsengumi's members, wearing practice clothes and holding bamboo swords, gathered together and whispered something.

Team member A, "Hey, have you heard? Hijikata-san's matter, I heard that he was banned from entering the Shinsengumi forever... He took the lead and violated so many of Shinsengumi's laws. Although Ito-san advocated for seppuku to apologize, it seems that under Chief persuasion and other people, he was exempted from this punishment... "

Team member B, "In fact, the punishment is just an excuse, right? He probably won't come back again..."

Team member C, "That guy Ito won't allow it. After all, he and Hijikata-san hate each other."

"Is this the end of that guy's era?"

"I heard that even Okita-san seems to have joined Ito's faction..."

"No one dares to go against Ito anymore..."

This Shinsengumi's team members were all sighing with emotion...

...

"What a surprise. Okita, I didn't expect you to join me." Kamotaro Ito, sitting cross-legged under the eaves in front of the door, said softly, "I heard that you already knew each other before Shinsengumi was established. I thought you were a complete Hijikata faction."

"Hijikata faction?" Inside the house, Sogo, leaning against the wall by the door, asked, "Is there such a faction? How come I only know now?"

"Hmph, what a shrewd man." Ito laughed twice and then asked, "What is your intention?"

"Without a doubt... it is the deputy chief's throne..." After saying that, Sogo turned around and left.

"As long as you are determined to follow me, I will help you fulfill your wish..."

...

Kamotaro Ito joined Shinsengumi a year ago. Not only did he have superb swordsmanship, but his brain was also second to none in Shinsengumi. He is a real thinker. He was highly educated and was admired by Kondo, who gave him the title "Shinsengumi Adviser". Due to his outstanding political acumen and talent, Kondo entrusted him with the task of communicating between the Shinsengumi and the Bakufu.

The result also proved that Ito did a good job. Not only did he increase Bakufu's trust in Shinsengumi, but he could also get some resources from Bakufu from time to time.

However, because of this task, Ito rarely stayed in Shinsengumi and had just returned recently.

Ito had a strong utilitarian heart that was not concealed at all. Everyone in Shinsengumi could see it. Ito even said at the banquet to celebrate his return, "With those people in the Bakufu, this country would be destroyed sooner or later! We can't always be like this! We must move forward! We must move towards a higher goal! Then one day, we will become the pillars of the country, and I think it is our mission as samurai in this era to save this chaotic world!" In this case. It is precisely because of Ito's ambition that he was instigated and used by Takasugi.

In addition,

Ito and Toshiro both looked at each other unhappily. They hated each other. To Ito, Toshiro was an existence that would be erased one day. It was the same for Toshiro. The two of them deeply understood each other but also deeply hated each other.

As for why Toshiro had become like what Kawaki had seen on TV, it had to be mentioned a few days ago. Due to the cracks in Toshiro's sword, Toshiro sent it to the swordsmith he often visited to repair it. To replace the sword that was going to be repaired, Toshiro ignored the old man swordsmith's advice and chose a sword called [Demonic Sword] as a replacement for the sword being repaired.

Toshiro never expected that this demonic sword would actually evoke another personality of his own, that was, the personality of [Otaku Tosshi] on TV. And the personality of Otaku Tosshi quickly suppressed the Toshiro personality and became the master...

At this time, Ito, who had just returned, used Toshiro's strange behavior after holding the demonic sword and worked with Sogo to force him to leave Shinsengumi. However, this was just the beginning. Ito's goal was far from simple...

...

On the other side, Otaku Tosshi, who had been brought back to Yorozuya's residence by Shinpachi, told them what had happened to him. Gintoki and the others brought him to the forge run by Tetsuko(Tetsuko from the Benisakura Arc).

After carefully observing the demonic sword in Toshiro's hand, Tetsuko finally spoke up, "This blade pattern on the front and the back... There's no mistake. This is Muramasha!"

"Muramasha?" Gintoki asked doubtfully, "What is that?"

"It's a famous sword made by a swordsmith in the Muromachi period [Muramasa Senko]." Tetsuko muttered as she held the sword with both hands, "It is said to cut incredibly well. It is also known as a demonic sword that devours human souls."

"Demonic Sword?!" Otaku Tosshi became excited in an instant. He leaned in front of Tetsuko and asked excitedly, "Is it really a demonic sword?! Will it turn into a beautiful girl and appear in front of me one morning?!"

Tetsuko was taken aback by the excited Otaku Tosshi, who came close to her and said embarrassingly with a blushing face, "Uh...uh, that..."

(Muramasha: A prototype of Muramasa. If you are interested, you can look up the real reason why Muramasa is called a demonic sword. By the way, Kawaki's sword was also a Muramasa. Muramasa is not referring to a sword, but a type of sword.)

...

Ignoring Toshiro, who was lying on the ground and being trampled by Gintoki and Kagura, Shinpachi looked at Tetsuko and asked, "If it is called a demonic sword, what kind of demonic sword is it?"

Tetsuko slowly explained with a serious expression, "It apparently harbors the grudge of a hikikomori boy who was slain by his mother with the Muramasha."

"Wait! What kind of demonic sword is that!" Gintoki rolled his eyes and complained,

"According to legend, the son never went to school and watched anime all day. But he said he wanted to go on a school trip. In the end, his mother finally couldn't take it anymore... At that time, she seemed to have used Muramasha."

"What a realistic legend!" Gintoki couldn't help but complain, "That's the latest one, right? It was broadcasted on the news recently, right?"

"As long as you equip Muramasha once, you will be entangled in the hikikomori resentment..." Tetsuko continued, "After that, you will have a strong interest in animations and two-dimensional worlds. On the contrary, the desire to work and the will to fight will become weaker and weaker. In other words, you will become an out-and-out otaku."

As she spoke, Tetsuko looked at Toshiro, who was standing behind the crowd, "If this is the real demonic sword, I'm afraid that this man's original soul no longer exists. It would not be strange if the demonic sword swallowed him and completely became another person. Returning to the original him... strictly speaking, it is already impossible..."

As soon as Tetsuko finished speaking, he saw Otaku Toshi take a cigarette from his bosom and take a light puff. His face no longer had the blank expression of Otaku Toshi...

"You are..." Gintoki turned his head to look at the serious Toshiro and muttered.

"Ah, I'm here to smoke the last cigarette," Toshiro lowered his head and muttered, "What are you guys doing in front of me? Come closer... I won't be able to hold on for long before I'm completely devoured..."

"Hehehe..." Toshiro laughed at himself, "I didn't expect that I would have such a day... You can laugh if you want to, but now..."

"Listen up, my first and last commission for you." As he spoke, Toshiro actually slowly knelt down and lowered his head. Then, he raised his head and said word by word, "Please! "Please protect Shinsengumi, our Shinsengumi..."

After he finished speaking, the cigarette in Toshiro's mouth fell to the ground...
