"How is that possible! How could Kawaki-sama have that kind of interest!" A group of Hyakka members behind Kawaki shouted.
"But... Don't you find it strange? After all, Kawaki-sama has never entered any shop, but why today..." A Hyakka member said.
"It can't be... is this reason why Kawaki-sama never attacked us?"
"How is that possible? Do I look like a crazy person?" Kawaki held his forehead and muttered. Then, he waved his hand and said helplessly, "That's enough. You can leave now. I have something to tell this little brother. I will pay for this little brother's expenses today."
...
"Then, what is it?" Zenzou asked casually.
At this time, only Kawaki and Zenzou were left in the club hall. Those girls who looked very special had been called down by Kawaki, and the group of Hyakka members was also sent away by Kawaki, leaving only two Hyakka members standing guard at the door.
"You..." Kawaki pushed the tissue box in front of him in front of Zenzou, "You should wipe the lip print on your face first, or I will think of the scene just now when I see it..."
...
"Jiraia, how much do you know about this name?" Kawaki poured a glass of white wine, took a sip, and asked casually.
"Why do you ask this?" Zenzou asked back.
"I just want to know a little," Kawaki replied with a smile, "After all, I'm quite interested in this person."
"I see." Zenzou didn't mind. He took a sip of wine and replied unhurriedly, "Jiraia the Spider. Although he was from the previous generation, it is said that his strength is comparable to the strongest in Oniwabanshuu, my father."
"Wait! Um... Can you not mention your father? Whenever that person was mentioned, I can always recall some bad memories..." Kawaki muttered as he held his forehead.
"Memories?"
"Ah, kicking can with ghosts or something..." Kawaki covered his face and replied with a pained expression.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Zenzou was puzzled.
"No, you better not ask. I have already decided to seal that memory..." Kawaki muttered.
"Alright..." Zenzou did not ask any further. Instead, he cleared his throat and continued to talk about Jiraia's information.
"Even if he had that kind of strength, that man was eventually banished by Oniwabanshuu. The reason is because of his dangerous nature." Zenzou continued, "Jiraia the Spider manipulates the silk that can change freely. No matter where he is, it is like he is in his own nest and ravaging everything without any obstruction."
"Proficient in stealing and assassination. No one can be better than him. But that guy's true horror is not limited to just this." As he spoke, Zenzou took another sip of wine, "It is his sincerity. I told you before; Ninjas are different from Samurai; there is no such thing as the so-called loyalty to the master. The only thing you trust is money and the skills you have developed. As long as they can pay for this skill, no matter who it is, they will follow."
"In other words..." As he said that, Zenzou looked at Kawaki, who was holding a glass of chine wine and frowning slightly, "He is just using his own skills to work. We, Oniwabanshuu, are the same. Although we have the exaggerated name of Shogun Secret Service Squad.
To put it bluntly, the only one who can buy us at the highest price is the Shogun."
"But that guy is different. He has a morbid obsession with the Shogun and just works for him." Zenzou did not stop and continued, "Of course, it is not the young Shogun now. In the previous area, as long as it is for Shogun, no matter how dirty the work is, no matter how dangerous the task is, he will be willing to sacrifice himself to complete it. In order to act in secret, he even burned his own face."
"Huh?!" Kawaki finally reacted and sighed, "It turns out that the plastic surgery didn't fail."
"How is that possible!" Zenzou retorted, "Also, how did it fail to make it look like that? Did the laboratory explode?!"
"Well, go on."
"Ahem," Zenzou cleared his throat and continued to explain Jiraia's situation.
"In order to change his identity freely, that guy not only gave up his face and name, but also his own existence."
"Destroy the private and serve the public..."
"Not bad. I didn't expect you to know this word. I thought only Samurai would know." After a pause, Zenzou continued, "But you're right, it may sound like this. But sometimes, when you do one thing wholeheartedly, you will be unknowingly eroded by darkness. Twenty years ago, when Amanto attacked and wanted to dominate Edo. The Bakufu and Shogun immediately surrendered because they were afraid."
"However, the Oniwabanshuu will not easily surrender. The radical function advocates in fighting Amanto with all of our strength. They clashed with the moderate faction who obeyed the above orders, which led to factional disputes."
"Of course, in front of that Shogun who was afraid of Amanto, the radical faction was a hindrance. So, the Shogun issued an order to kill... After that, all the people of the radical faction and their subordinates disappeared from history. There was no one else who could do such a dirty thing like killing companions and making enemies with so many Samurai."
"However... that guy finally pointed the blade at the previous Shogun. Although the assassination failed because my father acted as a duplicate, but..." Zenzou sighed and continued, "According to my father, although it was only for a moment, the skills that guy displayed were not even clearly seen by my father. If my father did not feel that he was dangerous and went to become a duplicate, history might have been rewritten. Of course, even I do not know if the things my father protected in the past are valuable or not."
"At that time, Jiraia was surrounded by Oniwabanshuu. Even if he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he struggled to break out of the encirclement. It was at that time that my father injured his legs, so he lived in seclusion and focused on cultivating the younger generation. Of course, it is also possible that he hates this filthy world."
"That guy is a monster who was chased by us, Oniwabanshuu and exiled by this world. As a junior, I have to take this responsibility. Although I am not so persistent, I have also searched for him."
"I see..." Kawaki pointed to his chin and murmured. Then he raised his head and revealed a bright smile, "Then, why don't I hand him over to you?"
"Huh?" Zenzou was stunned for two seconds before he finally reacted. He laughed softly and said, "I see. In the end, he actually fell into your hands. But... forget it. I don't want to have anything to do with that kind of pervert. Even if I kill him, I'm afraid that the evil ghost that turned into that pervert will torture me. I hate this kind of troublesome thing the most."
"But... I can't just keep him locked up all the time, right? This guy's food expenses are not small." Kawaki sighed and said.
"But you are also very amazing. You can actually capture that Jiraia alive. How is it? Is it strong?"
"Of course. After all, he is a SpiderMan. I was almost killed by him." Kawaki curled his lips and said casually.
"But your tone doesn't tell how strong that man is. It seems that you are also an amazing monster."
"That man's gaze..." Kawaki muttered, "I can tell that it's the gaze of a hunter who has his eyes on his prey... and, although he tried his best to hide it, I can't be wrong. It's the gaze of... seeking death. It's the type that I'm not good at dealing with. It's really quite distressing."
"His disciple, his target should be his student." Zenzou continues, "Actually, ever since you attended my father's funeral last time, I have investigated a little. That beautiful woman's method of throwing kunai. That is Oniwabanshuu's method. However, this method can't be spread. So... there is only one possibility, and that is..."
"Yes," Kawaki interrupted Zenzou and replied calmly, "He is Tsukki's master. That's why it's a little hard to handle. I really have no idea how to deal with him... If you can tell me everything about him without hiding anything, I might understand what I should do, and I can't say for sure."
"I didn't expect you to be able to tell what I hid. What a great man." Zenzou chuckled and poured himself another glass of wine. However, it was not his own wine. Instead, he picked up the white wine in front of Kawaki and poured himself a glass, "This wine looks good, just like pure water."
"Ah, after all, it's the wine I like," Kawaki replied casually. He took the bottle and poured himself a glass.
"It's so spicy!" Zenzou commented after taking a small sip. However, he did not put down the glass in his hand, "Then, why don't you help me a little? I will tell you everything I know afterward. What do you think?"
"Are the two boxes of hemorrhoid medicine and coupons not enough? You actually took the initiative to raise the price..." Kawaki scolded with a smile. Then, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, "Alright, I agree."
"That's good." Zenzou also drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
Then, Zenzou stood up and looked at the watch on his wrist. He said again, "Alright, it's about time to go. Tonight's mission will be much smoother with your help."
"What mission? Kidnapping loli?" Kawaki teased, "Will you accept this kind of perverted mission? But then again, you don't look like the kind of person who likes to play the nurturing game. "
"How is that possible!" Zenzou could not help but curse, "The type I like is..."
"You better not say it..." Kawaki quickly interrupted Zenzou, "I will remember that scene earlier..."
