Maybe a Fake Gintama

Maybe a Fake Gintama Chapter 401 It Doesn't Matter if You Can't Tell the Direction, Just Don't Stop.

"It seems that you have already discussed it..." Kawaki chuckled.

"Hey, when will the next competition be?" Toshiro turned to look at Kawaki.

"When do you want it to be?" Kawaki raised his head and asked with interest.

Hearing this, Toshiro lit up a cigarette, took a light drag, and then slowly said, "One month, one month later."

"Sure," Kawaki smiled and then gestured with his hand, "Money..."

"Stop joking around!" Veins popped up on Toshiro's face, and he roared angrily, "Before that, give me back my 58 million box office earnings! Bastard!"

"50 million? What 50 million?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.

"Why did it decrease by 8 million when you opened your mouth!" Toshiro shouted angrily, "Give me back my 58 million box office earnings!"

"Hey, are you doing it on purpose?" Toshiro grabbed Kawaki by the collar, gritted his teeth, and continued, "In short, give me the money. It doesn't matter if I can't get it. All of it will be put into the competition next month!"

"I know," Kawaki broke free from Toshiro's hand, then cupped his hands and nodded. He then said, "Since it's the Shinsengumi Deputy Chief's request, then I will reluctantly agree. In fact, I have already thought of a very fair and reasonable competition rule."

"Huh? Really?" Shinpachi, who was at the side, was puzzled.

"Ah, it's to save... no, it's a completely fair competition rule!" Kawaki replied with a serious face.

"You clearly wanted to say to save money, right?" Shinpachi squinted his eyes and said expressionlessly, "You definitely want to save money, right?"

"That is to draw lots!" Kawaki said decisively.

"Die!" Toshiro took out a bazooka from his back, pointed it in Kawaki's direction, and pressed the trigger without hesitation.

BOOM!!!

Ignoring Kawaki, who was lying on the ground in the distance and twitching, Toshiro turned to look at Shinpachi and slowly said, "Hey, glasses boy, Otaku Tosshi said that he will give you a month of preparation time. The next time will be the real showdown. Also, I will train him hard this month. Get ready."

"Hijikata-san, but Otaku Tosshi..." Shinpachi hesitated to speak.

"In short, there is a slight discrepancy between what that bastard said," Toshiro glanced at Kawaki who was on the ground, and continued, "Otaku Tosshi indeed switched with me in the last moment. Perhaps according to the development just now, he might really have ascended to heaven, but..."

Toshiro's expression began to become a little fierce, and he continued, "It doesn't matter! If he existed from the beginning, it means that he is me! Whether it is his memory or his name, it is only me who has a completely different personality! I! I will absolutely not allow him to disappear in that way!"

"I don't agree with this cunning way of relying on the strength of others from the beginning and then switching at the most delicious moment! Hijikata Toshiro doesn't agree with it! So!" Toshiro raised his head, looked at Shinpachi with a serious expression, and continued, "At least, let me work hard from the beginning! If I want to truly live, let me work hard with my own strength from the beginning! In every moment!"

"Hijikata-san..." Shinpachi widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe that these words came from Toshiro's mouth. After all, from the very beginning, Toshiro's goal was just to make Otaku Tosshi disappear, but now...

"Anyway, that's it," Toshiro calmed his excitement and continued in a casual tone, "In the next competition, no one will help him anymore. From the very beginning, he will play for me. This is Hijikata Toshiro's insistence."

"Of course, that is what I said, but I will train him well this month."

"You should also be aware that I am the same person as him. He will definitely not be easier to deal with than me." Toshiro changed his tone.

"I won't lose either!" Shinpachi's eyes were full of seriousness.

"That's good." As he spoke, Toshiro directly turned around and walked toward the entrance of the venue step by step.

"Kondo-san, Yamazaki, Sogo, let's go." Toshiro reminded them without looking back, "Let's go back and train that kid."

Kondo laugh. He stood up and slowly followed in the direction that Toshiro left. As for Yamazaki, after saying goodbye to Gintoki and the others, he hurriedly chased after them.

"I'm going first, boss." Sogo glanced at Kawaki, who was still lying on the ground, and then also said to Gintoki, "Also, Yorozuya's boss."

After that, Sogo put his hands on his back and walked leisurely toward the entrance of the venue.

...

After Sogo and the others left, Kawaki led the group of Hyakka and Yorozuya to leave one after another.

"Kawaki-san, what will happen to Otaku Tosshi in the end..." Shinpachi lowered his head and asked while walking with slight disappointment.

"That kind of thing is not in your consideration." Kawaki casually replied, "You just need to do what you need to do. Just prepare for the next month's competition."

"But..." Shinpachi wanted to say something, but his face showed a trace of reluctance, "Am I not like an executioner?"

"In front of a Samurai who has made up his mind, what you have to do is to make the same determination." Gintoki put his hand in his pocket and said slowly, "Don't think about anything else. Although it is cruel, this is a Samurai. Next is the showdown between the two of you. If you hesitate, you will be defeated. If you are a Samurai, you must remember this in your heart and never forget it."

"Samurai... huh..." Kawaki slowly raised his head, looked up at the starry sky, and murmured something.

"Kawaki-san, what did you say just now?" Shinpachi asked doubtfully.

"No, it's nothing," Kawaki shook his head gently, "It's better to go back quickly. I'm hungry."

"No, I'm quite full. I drank a third of the strawberry milk pool." Gintoki said as he rubbed his stomach. After that, he let out a long burp.

"Haha, now that I think about it, Gin-san should be the happiest person today," Shinpachi said with a smile, "After all, you can drink so much strawberry milk."

"Damn natural wavy hair, you didn't even leave a single drop for me!" Kagura crossed her arms and said unhappily.

Just as Kagura finished speaking, Shinpachi suddenly noticed something and stopped in his tracks. He stared blankly at a small alley by the road.

"What's wrong?" Gintoki stopped and turned around to stare at Shinpachi with dead fish eyes.

"Kawaki-san," Shinpachi raised his glasses and pointed at the familiar luxury prize bag at the entrance of the alley, "What... is that?"

"Oh, that," Kawaki replied casually, "I thought it was all the third-place prize, but I didn't expect it to be all of the other places' prizes. It was really a mistake, so I had to throw them all away.

"So... so it's like this..."

"Alright, let's go. It's been hard on you today." After saying that, Kawaki turned around and slowly walked forward.

...

"Well, speaking of which, is this really the right path?" Shinpachi asked, following Gintoki, "Where are we going now?"

"The train station," Gintoki replied casually.

"I know it's the train station, but is the train station really here?" Shinpachi asked again.

"I don't know-aru." Kagura shook her head.

"Eh? No one knows the way. Are we just going to walk aimlessly like this?" Shinpachi was surprised.

"No problem. The train station is here. We will be there soon." Kawaki, who was standing in front of everyone, said without turning his head.

"Are you sure?" Shinpachi narrowed his eyes, speechlessly.

"This is an adult's intuition. Trust me." Kawaki made an OK gesture.

"By the way, that should be the most unbelievable thing..." Shinpachi silently retorted.

"What are you talking about? The glasses man, Kawaki-sama's intuition will not be wrong!" One of the Hyakka who followed behind Kawaki complained unhappily.

"Yes, yes!" The rest of the Hyakka chimed in, "Following Kawaki-sama, you will never go wrong!"

"Just how much do you believe in this person..." Shinpachi retorted with an expressionless face.

"Probably... it can't be wrong..." Kawaki took a deep breath, then gently raised his head and looked forward. His eyes also began to become determined, and he repeated, "That's right, it can't be wrong, the road can not be wrong."

"You are not sure yourself?!" Shinpachi shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay, anyway, if I say it can't be wrong, it won't be wrong." Kawaki smiled and waved his hand, "I haven't reached the age where I can't recognize the road."

Gintoki laid his hands on his head and stared with dead fish eyes. He followed behind the crowd, bored. He then looked up at the sky with his dead fish eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, but it also seemed that he was simply distracted...

As a result... that day, everyone took a long detour before returning to Kabukicho...

A month later.

Terakado Tsuu's official fan club battle started again. However, this time, Kawaki did not participate again. Although Shinpachi reminded Kawaki before the registration deadline, the latter had no interest in participating at all.

Hearing that the competition was very intense, Tsusengumi led by Otaku Tosshi and Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards led by Shinpachi rushed into the finals once again.

However, there were some differences. From beginning to end, it was Otaku Tosshi and his companions who worked hard and did not rely on Toshiro anymore.

The result of the competition seemed to be that both sides were promoted to an official fan club by Otsuu-chan, but both sides rejected it at the same time.

Moreover, Kawaki never heard any news about Otaku Tosshi again after that.

...

On a rest day, in Kawaki's room in Yoshiwara.

"Boss, what do you think happened to Otaku Tosshi in the end?" Sogo asked casually as he controlled the character on the screen with the game controller.

"Who knows..." Kawaki answered casually.

"Have he really ascended to heaven?" Sogo asked again.

"Maybe," Kawaki smiled gently, "Maybe it's just lurking. Maybe one day we can see each other again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the game ended. Kawaki put down the game controller in his hand and picked up two full glasses of white wine from the side.

"Do you want to have a drink on the rest day?" Kawaki handed a glass of wine to Sogo.

"It's really rare. The boss invites me to drink." At the same time as Sogo put down the game controller, he took the wine from Kawaki's hand.

"I just suddenly wanted to have a glass." Kawaki looked at the wine glass in his hand and sighed slightly. Then, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"It just so happens that I suddenly wanted to have a drink today. Even if it's this kind of strong liquor, it doesn't matter." As he said this, Sogo also raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

'Farewell, Otaku Tosshi.' Kawaki and Sogo said in their hearts at the same time...

...

In Shinsengumi's settlement, Toshiro was sorting out Otaku Tosshi's "relics". It had been several days since Otaku Tosshi disappeared, and Toshiro's life seemed to have returned to normal.

However, he always felt that something was missing. It seemed that something that had always been in his body suddenly disappeared. Toshiro always had this feeling.

Gently closing his eyes, Toshiro once again came to the depths of his mind. This was the first time he had come here since Otaku Tosshi disappeared.

Everything had not changed. It was still a broken cave. In the depths of the cave was still a small prison. However, there was something different. The prison was empty. That person was no longer there.

Gently opening the door of the prison, Toshiro slowly walked in. He looked at the familiar dagger on the ground. In the end, Toshiro could not hold it in and cover his face. Two lines of clear tears slowly flowed down his cheeks through his fingers.

"Idiot..."
