Chapter 179: The Social Meetup of Shinsengumi and Hyakka?!
"See, what I said is right~" Kawaki waved his hand, his face full of disapproval.
Toshiro, who was holding back his anger, saw a pool of blood and the fur of the bear behind the Hyakka members.
"At ten o'clock in the evening, I arrest you in the name of killing wild animals at will." As he spoke, Toshiro took out a pair of handcuffs and walked toward Kawaki.
"Oh, you mean that?" Kawaki was not flustered at all and casually explained, "That one was picked up on the road. In order to not waste it, I ate two big bowls with tears in my eyes."
As he spoke, Kawaki glanced at the fur of the bear next to him and hypocritically wiped his tears, "Bear Toshiro has always been a gentle and good child. I think this kind of result is what it wants to see. In the end, it can become the food of the human it loves..."
"Do you think I'm an idiot?! How can anyone believe this kind of reason!" Toshiro shouted, "And don't pretend to be so hypocritical! Is that other bear really called Bear Toshiro? Can you not randomly give others a strange name!"
"If you don't believe me, there are witnesses here~," Kawaki said with a smile.
Just as Kawaki finished speaking, the Hyakka members stood up instantly and agreed.
"Nowadays, the police do things without any evidence at all~" Kawaki sighed, "You think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little power? I am really worried about the daily life of the majority of Edo citizens~."
"That's right, boss. This is the current police." Sogo agreed, then looked at Kondo, who was squatting on the ground, "Don't you think so? Chief."
"That's right, that's right." Kondo replied without raising his head, "The police nowadays are really hard to explain in a few words~."
"You are the chief of the police department!" Toshiro complained.
...
Due to this small episode, all of Shinsengumi came to the side of Yoshiwara's camp.
The Shinsengumi members looked at the mayonnaise cake in their bowls and then looked at the Yoshiwara area, where people were laughing and eating bear meat hotpot. They all drooled with envy.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Is this dinner for Shinsengumi's outdoor camp?" Kawaki glanced at the dinner of Shinsengumi's members and sighed.
"How is it? That's my favorite dish!" Toshiro said proudly. Then, he looked at the Shinsengumi members, "How is it? Is it delicious?!"
In order to not let their deputy chief lose face, the Shinsengumi members could only suppress their disgust. They raised their hands and answered in a low voice, "Yes..."
"Where did all your momentum go?!" Toshiro scolded, "One more time! All who have not exceeded two hundred decibels will commit seppuku!"
"Yes!"
"What pitiful children," Kawaki showed a face of sympathy and then sat down again. He picked up a large piece of meat from the pot, dipped it in sauce, and put it into his mouth.
"Delicious!" Kawaki showed a face of satisfaction, and the speed of secretion of the saliva glands of Shinsengumi members instantly increased several times, except for Toshiro.
"The meat of the bear is really delicious-aru!" Kagura said vaguely as she stuffed the meat into her mouth.
"Then I won't be polite..." Gintoki, who had arrived at some unknown time, also said.
He then picked up his chopsticks, but before he could put them into the pot, Kawaki kicked him back into Yorozuya's area.
"Just eat your curry." Kawaki said with a smile, "This is my family's dining table."
"You're too snobbish! It's just a piece of meat!" Gintoki scolded as he got up, "Also, where's Shinpachi? Where did Shinpachi go?!"
"Ah, he went home," Kawaki explained with a smile.
"This four-eyes! He actually left his boss alone and went home..." Gintoki said through gritted teeth, "When I go back, I must deduct his salary!"
...
Looking at the Shinsengumi members who were drooling over Yoshiwara's food.
"It's just a few pieces of meat..." Toshiro curled his lips in disdain. Then, he pointed at a Shinsengumi member and shouted, "Hey, go and bring over the high-grade beef and grill it. I'll give you extra food today!"
The Shinsengumi members instantly cheered.
...
Ten minutes later.
"The barbecue is ready~" Toshiro stood in front of the grill and shouted.
"Alright!" The Shinsengumi members cheered and rushed forward.
However, after seeing the grilled meat made by Toshiro, everyone's expressions changed.
"What is this?" A Shinsengumi member asked, his head full of black lines.
"What? Of course, it's grilled meat." Toshiro looked at the team member who asked the question as if he was looking at an idiot.
"No, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the thick layer on the barbecue..."
"Mayonnaise," Toshiro replied and then said as if a matter-of-fact, "Isn't this common sense? The delicious high-grade beef added with delicious mayonnaise makes it even tastier. "
After saying that, Toshiro picked up a stick of grilled meat that was covered with mayonnaise and ate it with relish.
Members of Shinsengumi: No, only you think it is delicious.
"It doesn't matter. There is still a lot of meat. Let's grill it again." A Shinsengumi member looked at the other members and said angrily.
"You're right. Just grill it again."
"Just pretend you didn't see it just now."
"You're right."
However, when the Shinsengumi members looked at the box containing the beef, everyone was in a bad mood because the box was empty!
"Deputy chief... Did you grill all the meat?"
"Of course. No matter what, I am your deputy chief." Toshiro said, "In order to let you replenish your strength, I put in a lot of effort. Alright, you're welcome. Eat quickly."
After that, Toshiro stuffed two sticks of meat that were covered with mayonnaise into the hands of every Shinsengumi member.
Soon after, the Shinsengumi members squatted on the ground with the grilled meat in their hands.
However, a hand holding a bowl of soup was placed in front of these Shinsengumi members at this time.
"Although there is only meat soup left, the taste is also very good."
A Hyakka member bowed down and said with a smile.
"Is this... an angel?" Looking at the Hyakka member who seemed to be emitting holy light, all the Shinsengumi members were moved to tears.
...
"Gorilla, what do you think? My suggestion just now?" Kawaki looked at Kondo and said.
"I think it's good, but I have to listen to the opinions of the team members." Kondo thought for a moment and replied.
At the same time, Toshiro also found that there was something wrong with the Shinsengumi members on his side. They were all holding soup bowls with tears in their eyes...
"How can you eat something of unknown origin?!" Toshiro cursed, "Hurry up and throw it away!"
"Hey, calm down, Toshiro." Kondo said, "Didn't we just say that men must accept it like a gentleman when they are invited to have dinner with girls? This is common sense!"
"What kind of common sense is this!" Toshiro scolded.
"Hey, you guys," Kondo ignored Toshiro's words and walked to the Shinsengumi members. He continued, "Tonight, Yoshiwara's Kawaki-san proposed to let Shinsengumi and Hyakka have a social meetup. For the sake of fairness, I came to ask for your opinion. Simply raise your hand and make a vote. Those who agree, please raise your hand!"
Looking at his chief's impatient expression, Toshiro could not help but retort, "You are the only one who wants to participate!"
However, just as he finished retorting, Toshiro found that all the Shinsengumi members of his group had raised their hands.
"All of you, commit seppuku for me!"
"It's only tonight. This is an order from your chief!" Kondo replied in a low voice, "Toshi, you should also participate."
"What kind of order is this?" Toshiro cursed. Then, he walked to Kondo and whispered, "Hey, didn't you say that we were going to search for the beetle that Shogun lost tonight?!"
"Well, it's actually not an important thing," Kondo said without hesitation, "Toshi, you have to care about your team members occasionally. You have trained them to the point that you don't even have the chance to touch women. Today is also a good opportunity."
"What opportunity! It's obviously a selfish desire!" Toshiro complained, "What else isn't important? If we can't find it, we'll have to commit seppuku!"
"Oh my, it's decided then. Everyone, participate!" Kondo shouted.
"Did you hear me?" Toshiro was on the verge of collapse.
On the other side, on Yoshiwara's side.
After hearing that Kawaki had allowed Hyakka to participate in the social meetup, all of the Hyakka members revealed troubled and resistant expressions.
"You... what exactly are you planning?" Tsukuyo dragged Kawaki to the side and asked.
"Of course, it's for these girls," Kawaki said matter-of-factly, "This is also an opportunity for these girls to come into contact with men. One day, they will get married and have children and live a normal life, right?"
"What nonsense are you saying? They..." Tsukuyo said disdainfully, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Kawaki.
"Yes, of course." After saying that, Kawaki looked at the Hyakka members, who were whispering to each other.
After a long silence, Tsukuyo finally sighed, "What an idiot. But... let's treat it as a holiday today."
"Tsukki, you agree?!" Kawaki asked in surprise.
"Only this once." As Tsukuyo spoke, she walked back to the Hyakka members, "This is an order. All members are forced to participate!"
"Sigh~" A Hyakka member pouted and said coquettishly, "Don't~ I only want Kawaki-sama~ I don't want to come into contact with those men~."
"Me too."
"And me."
The Hyakka members all spoke out.
"I already said that this is an order!" Tsukuyo shouted again.
Hearing Tsukuyo's threatening tone, the Hyakka members reluctantly agreed.
...
On the other side, Shinpachi, who had been lying in ambush on the tree for several hours, yawned and muttered, "How long do I have to wait..."
