At night, at Yoshiwara's gate.
"Hey, hey, are you sure? Do you really want our lord to come to this kind of place?" Toshiro stood in front of the Shinsengumi members and murmured.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, our lord wants to come to this kind of place." Kondo said, "In short, today's mission is to protect our lord! Moreover, because of our lord's orders, we absolutely can not expose our lord's identity!"
"I think it has already been exposed." Yamazaki looked at the several tanks and helicopters behind him speechlessly, "Only a fool can not see this kind of situation!"
In the security room at the gate of Yoshiwara, two uncles whose faces could not be seen were exchanging cups.
"Don't mind it," a security guard said to another security guard, "Just leave it to that kid."
Another security guard snorted, "I didn't expect that once..."
...
"The Shogun is here!" A Shinsengumi member said as he looked at the high-end car that had arrived.
Once this was said, everyone quickly lined up and surrounded the high-end car that had arrived.
Then, two people came out of the car. These two people were Matsudaira and the Shogun.
"My lord, I still feel that it is not safe to come to such a place," Toshiro advised.
"No, I just want to take a look," Shige Shige replied with a smile.
"I'll leave the Shogun's safety to you." Matsudaira took a puff on his cigar and said casually, "This uncle is not used to coming to this kind of place. Snack Smile is more suitable for me."
"You just want to leave the mess to us, right?" Toshiro shouted.
"Hey, what are you doing here? If you disturb Yoshiwara's business, I will be very angry."
"Of course, We are here to protect our lord..." Toshiro blurted out, but he realized that something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking. He turned to look at Kawaki, who was smiling at them, "When did you come here?!"
"Ah, a courtesan told me that there was a group of fully-armed police gathered at the gate of Yoshiwara. She was a little concerned, so she asked me to take a look." Kawaki replied, then revealed a distressed expression, "There is no problem in coming here to play, but if it affects Yoshiwara's business, I will be very distressed."
"How is that possible? We are only here to protect..." Before Kondo could finish speaking, Toshiro covered his mouth.
"Shut up! Didn't you say that you can't expose our lord's identity?! This sentence should be said by you!" Toshiro scolded in a low voice.
Kawaki looked at Toshiro and Kondo with a puzzled face. Then, he sighed and looked at the surrounding tanks and helicopters, "Um, can I ask you to take all these things away? It will affect Yoshiwara's business. The guests won't dare to come in when they see these things."
"Impossible!" Toshiro replied without thinking.
"Is that so?" Kawaki narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, but his tone was extremely cold, "Then don't blame me."
As he spoke, Kawaki clapped his hands, and then a group of Hyakka members appeared behind Kawaki.
"What are you trying to do? Are you going against Bakufu?" Toshiro said seriously.
"No, no, no. I will just help you to get these things away. Don't put such a big crime on me, V-shaped bangs." Kawaki said casually.
"Don't call me by that name!" Toshiro scolded.
"Boss, actually, all this was decided by Hijikata-san on his own," Sogo said. "If you're angry, why don't you chop Hijikata-san up to vent your anger?"
"Shut up!" Toshiro cursed, then leaned in front of Sogo and reminded him in a low voice, "This is also something that can't be helped! How can we not protect our lord in this kind of chaotic place?! If anything happens to our lord, we will all have to commit seppuku!"
"Katakuriko, let them remove all this weaponry." Shige Shige said to Matsudaira, "If it affects business, I will also feel sorry."
"No!" Toshiro quickly said, "This kind of place is full of turbulent waves! If..."
"It doesn't matter." Shige Shige replied.
"What are you guys talking about?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.
"It has nothing to do with you!" Toshiro shouted.
"Hey, hey, it's too much to say such things. How can it have nothing to do? It's a big deal, okay?" Kawaki retorted, "Because of these things you parked, how much money did Yoshiwara lose? What about the income of the women? Aren't you the police? You want to ignore the lower class people's lives for your own selfish desires?!"
"This gentleman has a point," Shige Shige came over, "It's not good to cause trouble for the girls in the lower levels."
"But..." Toshiro still wanted to say something.
"This is an order." Shige Shige said.
"Alright..." In the end, Toshiro compromised.
After that, all the tanks, artillery, and helicopters retreated under Toshiro's command.
"En," Only then did Kawaki nod, "That's right."
"Don't show me that attitude!" Toshiro cursed.
"But it's still because of you that we lost a portion of our customers," Kawaki continued, "Then I'll let you make up for the loss. It's not much, just three hundred million."
"Stop joking!" Toshiro instantly exploded, "How can you lose three hundred million in such a short time! Why don't you go and rob a bank? You just don't like me!"
"Looks like V-shaped bangs is very self-aware," Kawaki replied with a sigh.
...
"Alright, I got it," Kawaki nodded and then looked at Shige Shige, "Anyway, this little brother wants to come to Yoshiwara to relax, isn't it?"
"Well, that's about it." Matsudaira nodded.
"So that's how it is. This little brother also seems to come here for the first time," After looking at Shige Shige's face, Kawaki continued, "He should be around twenty years old and with a face that can't hide excitement, is this a virgin?"
"Pfft!" The crowd covers their mouth.
"What's wrong? Can't you tell?" Kawaki asked doubtfully, "No matter how you look at it, this face is a virgin, right?"
"Can you shut up! How can you say such things so straightforwardly!" Toshiro scolded.
"Because... this is the truth, right?"
"Even if it is the truth, you don't have to be so straightforward!" Toshiro retorted and then looked at his team members, "All the words just now, forget them all!"
"The Shogun's family traditionally all virgins around the age of 20." Shige Shige said seriously.
"No need to explain! My lord, you don't need to explain!" Kondo hurriedly said.
"Although I don't know what you are talking about, I have figured out the purpose." Kawaki nodded, "In short, let this little brother get rid of his virginity, right? Don't worry; Yoshiwara can do this kind of thing. But it seems that he is really a big shot. He can actually make all of the Shinsengumi send out. This little brother shouldn't be..."
'Shit! This guy can't have already discovered our lord's identity, right?' Toshiro thought in his heart.
"It's your son, right?" Kawaki said to Matsudaira, "But then again, don't you spoil your son a little too much? You actually brought your son to such a place."
"How is that possible!" Toshiro cursed, but just as he said that Kondo quickly covered his mouth.
"It's good that he thinks so!" Kondo whispered. "Our boss is just like our lord's surrogate father."
"Which world's father would bring his son to such a place!" Toshiro shouted.
"Hahaha, it's more like a bad friend than a father," Kondo smiled and said, "A so-called man needs a bad friend, more than ten million retainers."
...
"Ah, that's about it," Matsudaira said.
"I see." Kawaki nodded, "Don't worry. I promise I'll give you a bright and radiant son tomorrow!"
"Hey, what does this guy want our lord to do here?" Toshiro scoffed expressionlessly, "And... why does our lord look so eager?"
"Then, I'll leave it to you." With that, Matsudaira turned around and left.
"Hey? Aren't you going to play?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.
"Ah, I still prefer to accompany the ladies in the Snack Smile." As he spoke, Matsudaira raised his hand and waved, "Kondo, Toshiro, I'll leave the safety of the young Shogun to you."
As he watched Matsudaira walk further and further away, the corners of Toshiro's eyes twitched, "That uncle just left us some trouble..."
...
On Yoshiwara's street.
"This should be your first time coming to this kind of place, right?" Kawaki looked at Shige Shige on the side, "Do you have any types that you like? Newly-wed, Mother-in-law, or *** and the like. If there are any that you like, I can recommend some related shops."
Hearing this, Shige Shige's nose spewed out two streams of excitement.
'This guy is really going to let the Shogun leave something important' Toshiro, who was following behind Kawaki and Shige Shige, felt bad.
"Don't be shy. Just say what you like. Yoshiwara has everything you need," Kawaki continued, "And you are too stiff. If you talk too little, you won't get the love of the girls."
"Kawaki-sama!" The women on the roadside shop kept greeting Kawaki.
"Yes, yes, work hard~" Kawaki smiled and greeted the women at the roadside shops.
"Ah~ Kawaki-sama smile at me!"
"No, it should be smiling at me!"
"It should be me! You ugly monsters!"
Looking at the group of women who were arguing about this question, everyone was speechless.
"I didn't expect this guy to be so popular in Yoshiwara," Toshiro muttered disdainfully.
"It seems that Yoshiwara's courtesan trust Kawaki-san a lot," Shige Shige said with a smile, "Then why don't you recommend a shop to Kawaki-san?"
"Let me recommend it..." Kawaki tapped his chin and pondered for a moment, but he inadvertently saw a shop in the distance where no one was patronizing, and the business was bleak. He suddenly had an idea...
