The team in front gradually made way for Toshiro for Shinpachi.
"Don't you realize that this competition is not so simple?" Toshiro came to Shinpachi and stopped. He gently puffed out a second-hand cigarette and continued, "Five thousand against four, one thousand teams against one team. From the beginning, only yours and Tsusengumi are here!"
"It should have been like this, but that bastard Yoshiwara kicked some of them, causing me to lose a lot of subordinates." Toshiro spits out a little unhappily, "Although the number of people has decreased a lot, the situation has returned to how it was at the beginning. That bastard should have been detained by the traffic police."
With that, Toshiro glanced at the human wall behind him and continued, "The otakus who are standing here to participate in the competition are all my subordinates except you."
Shinpachi looked at those otaku fans who formed a human wall and saw the treacherous expressions on their faces. Only then did he finally react. He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, 'No... Impossible! Are all these people on Tsusengumi's side?! Are all these people our enemies?! How could... How could their forces have become so huge!'
Looking at Shinpachi who was in a state of shock, Toshiro continued to say disapprovingly, "The outcome has been decided from the beginning. That's right, this competition was not an official fan club decision competition from the very beginning."
As he spoke, Toshiro took another puff of his cigarette, "It's just a simple ceremony. It's just a ceremony held to purify Otaku Tosshi. And all of you are just offerings."
After saying this, Toshiro slowly turned around, but then he thought of something. He looked at Shinpachi again and reminded him.
"An offering that easily given up will be cast aside. What you need is not the awareness of fighting, but the awareness of accepting fate."
This time, Toshiro did not stop. Instead, he slowly walked past the path that the otakus had given and walked forward.
After Toshiro walked past, the otakus once again filled up the gap and formed a firm human wall.
The host who saw this scene through the broadcast screen explained again:
[This is really surprising! I didn't expect that there would be members of Tsusengumi mixed in the troops ahead! Although I can't hear the specific conversation, it seems to be to kill the strong enemy Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards. With Tsusengumi as the center, countless teams have joined forces!]
[It's like the Ten Commandments.
After separating the sea of otakus, Tsusengumi instantly raised his ranking! On the other side, Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards...]
Shinpachi, who remained in place, lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Then, he finally raised his head and let out a loud roar, not admitting defeat. Then, he quickly rushed toward the human wall in front of him. He continuously pulled at the human wall, looking for a way to break through.
[Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards began to attack the human wall of the otakus! But under the obstruction of the human wall, it was impossible to move forward!]
'Hateful! Hateful!!' Shinpachi gritted his teeth while shoving the crowd in front of him, thinking to himself, 'I don't admit defeat! Never admit defeat! Gin-san and the others trust me! Gin-san and the others entrusted the fate of the team to me! If I don't find the path to victory...'
Shinpachi, who had been kicked and was kneeling on the ground, clutching his stomach, gritted his teeth and thought to himself, 'I must find it! No matter how narrow it is, it is good, even the glimmer of hope of victory!'
'I have to find it!!'
Shinpachi struggled to stand up, enduring the pain as he followed the slowly moving human wall again...
...
He was thrown to the ground several times, but Shinpachi never felt despair. The unyielding spirit in his eyes was not lacking at all!
[The route has reached the seven-kilometer bridge, and there are only three kilometers left before the finish line. The Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards are still suppressed at the end!]
Shinpachi, who was once again pushed to the ground, struggled to get up, but this time, Shinpachi suddenly discovered something...
[Is this situation a foregone conclusion that cannot be changed? What should they do? Is this really the end of the Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards?]
'Found it!' Shinpachi stood up, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, 'If can't break through directly, from above! From the side of the bridge railing!'
At the same time, Shinpachi shouted and rushed up, but maybe because he was too excited to find the flaw, Shinpachi did not hear the sound of an ambulance horn coming from behind him.
"Get out of the way! Shinpachi!" Kawaki leaned out of the window and reminded loudly, "The brake of this car has just been broken by me! Get out of the way!"
Only then did Shinpachi notice that a car was coming from behind, and he quickly reacted and fell to the side.
At the same time, the otakus on the bridge also noticed the current situation. Those who had no time to dodge could only jump into the river one after another.
In an instant, the entire bridge was instantly emptied!
"Shinpachi, I'll be leaving first~" When passing by Shinpachi, Kawaki did not forget to raise his hand. He raised his thumb and winked at Shinpachi at the same time.
"Kawaki-sama! The steering wheel!" A Hyakka, who was in the back row, hurriedly reminded him.
"I forgot..." Kawaki scratched his head in embarrassment, but it was already too late...
The direction of the car instantly lost control and crashed into the railings on the bridge, falling into the water...
A huge splash of water from the car splashed onto Shinpachi.
Shinpachi, "..."
[Unexpected situation! The Yoshiwara team suddenly drove out in a car! The human wall composed of otakus that were blocking the front of the Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards was instantly dispersed!] The host continued to explain excitedly, [Now it seems that the Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards are not without friendly troops! What a touching dedication! In order to let the Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards pass through the human wall, they chose to break the rules of the competition, risking being disqualified by the organizers of the competition to open the way ahead for the Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards!]
"That..." Shinpachi twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Can I say that Kawaki-san doesn't know the rules in the first place?"
"Shinpachi! Stop dilly-dallying! Catch up for me!" Kawaki, who was soaked all over, poked his head out of the river, "What are you doing standing there stupidly?! Are you trying to waste the opportunity I created for you?!"
"This person really doesn't have any integrity at all. He actually followed the host's words. Hey!" Shinpachi silently complained, "But forget it. It's all thanks to Kawaki-san. It's much easier now."
Then, Shinpachi shouted gratefully at Kawaki who was in the river, "Thank you, Kawaki-san!"
Just as he finished speaking, Shinpachi suddenly noticed something, and the expression on his face instantly froze...
"Shinpachi!" The wet Gintoki sat on the wet Taka-tin's shoulder and shouted at Shinpachi in the river, "Charge!"
"Why are you in the river too!!" Shinpachi was in a bad mood.
"I just took a ride on the way," Gintoki explained casually. Then, he patted Taka-tin on the shoulder and continued, "Those are not important! Now, both Taka-tin and I have placed our last hopes on you! Go!"
"Go! Brother!" Taka-tin gave Shinpachi a timely thumbs-up.
Looking at Taka-tin who was wearing Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards' clothes, Shinpachi was stunned for a moment before taking a deep breath.
"Who?!!!"
...
At the end of the competition, the host stood beside Otsuu-chan with a microphone in his hand.
"It's finally here!" The host looked at Toshiro, who was about to reach the finish line, "First place in the preliminary for the pianist battle to decide Terakado Tsuu's official fan club is--- team Tsusengumi's Otaku Tosshi!"
The host looked at Toshiro, who had just passed the finish line, and the 300 yen-invited audience who were constantly cheering on the side of the road, and then continued to explain, "After joining forces with the other teams to beat his rivals, he has now crossed the finish line! A fine job of using wits to win the marathon preliminary, believed to be a test of stamina!"
"Well done(Majumbo lottery)." Otsuu looked at Toshiro. She smiled and extended her hands to congratulate him.
"Thank you very much(Huge Mountain)." Toshiro reached out and shook hands with Otsuu.
"Excuse me! Could you look this way?" The staff holding the camera shouted at Toshiro and Otsuu.
Then, Toshiro let go of Otsuu's hand and looked at the camera together with Otsuu. He scratched the back of his head and laughed.
"What deserves a special mention is the dominance that makes the enemy team completely obedient!" The host was still explaining excitedly, "What a terrifying Tsusengumi! Is there any group that can beat this team?"
'Heh!' Toshiro secretly snorted and thought with disdain, 'They still haven't realized that these people were my pawns to begin with?'
"There are no other teams in sight! Tsusengumi has an overwhelming lead!" The host continued, "But isn't it kind of odd that there isn't anybody else coming? Was there an accident back there somewhere?"
'You're having trouble holding them back?' Toshiro took out a cigarette and thought to himself, 'Forget it, it isn't possible for them to break through that human wall.'
"We have received new information!" A female staff member who was in charge of supporting the host suddenly spoke up while holding her headset, "Given up! It turned out that most of the teams gave up before reaching the finish line! There was a car accident at the seven-kilometer mark. A train has derailed at a crossing at the eight-kilometer mark! A large quantity of dog sh*t has appeared at the nine-kilometer mark!"
"What the hell is going on?!" The host's voice sounded again, "It's as if heaven has decided to rain natural disaster after disaster to impede the otakus! Only one team is past the nine-kilometer mark!"
