章 98: Children Need to Be Coaxed!

"Ole!~ Ole!~ Ka-to-ke-n~ Samba! ..." Kagura on the side danced and sang while watching TV.

Meanwhile, Kawaki glanced at Shinpachi, who was sitting upright on the side, and Otae, who was sitting gracefully. Then, he looked at Hinowa and Tsukuyo on the other side. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are they here? I remember that I only invited Kagura-chan. Is there something wrong with my memory?"

"The New Year's Day is only lively when there are many people," Hinowa said with a smile.

"Forget about them," Kawaki sighed and looked at Katsura and Elizabeth, sitting on the other side, "Why is he here too? I don't remember inviting them!"

Elizabeth raised a wooden signboard with the words [Thank you very much for the invitation. ]

"I came when I received your message!" Katsura said, "I knew that Kawaki would not forget us! After all, he used to be the trump card of our organization! What's wrong? Do you want to re-join our big family now? Although it's a little late, I won't mind!"

"I never remember that I sent that kind of thing to you! And I never remember when I was the trump card of your organization! And what about that posture? Why does it seem like this was in your own home?! Why do you look like the master here?! Where is your restless activity? Aren't you going to create a new dawn in Edo?!" Kawaki roared.

"There is a lot of dawn and the like, but!" Katsura's expression became a lot more serious, "This year's New Year is only once! It's rare to have the opportunity to talk to..."

"Shut up!" Kawaki decisively interrupted Katsura.

"Because I saw the two of them squatting at Yoshiwara's entrance, so..." Tsukuyo wanted to say something but stopped.

"No need! You don't need to pick up this kind of thing at home!! It will not die!"

"That makes sense. Not everything can be taken home. If there are bacteria, it will cause a lot of trouble for the human body." Katsura nodded and said, "Especially when there is a fragile life like a child at home. Children are very fragile. The immune system has not been formed yet. If there is any disease, it will be terrible. Also, why didn't Sadaharu come? I have been looking forward to seeing Sadaharu for a long time! "

"Oh, Sadaharu is still at home..." Kagura replied.

"Can't you listen to people talking! Don't you have any self-awareness? It's you who was picked up!" Kawaki complained crazily.

"Speaking of which, why don't I see Gintoki?" Katsura said as he picked up food from the table.

"He seems to have gone out to buy Jump magazine, but it's really slow," Shinpachi sighed softly and explained, "Could it be that he had an accident and lost his memory again?"

"Eighty percent chances of he is [bonding] with a young girl," Otae said indifferently, "Don't worry about him..."

Then, Otae looked at Hinowa and said, "Thank you so much for the invitation, I haven't had such a lively New Year in a long time. The last time when my father was alive, I sat in the kotatsu with Shin-chan and watched TV while eating hot pot..."

"Are you disgusted for me not having a kotatsu here? Why do you make a regretful expression? Are you saying that it is better to stay at your house than here?" Kawaki said expressionlessly, "Also, why would something like a kotatsu that poor people use appear in my house? It is warm here! It won't be cold! Don't you feel that your buttocks are hot?"

"Talking about buttocks to girls, Kawaki-san is really a frivolous man~" Otae spat with a red face.

"Don't make that kind of expression! I'm just telling the truth!"

"Really! It's incredible! I feel like my chrysanthemum is getting hot! Is this high-tech?! It's like an automatic flushing toilet!" Katsura said in surprise.

"Did your senses cross the Sanzo River before you? How can you feel the heat drilling into your chrysanthemum? What exactly is that feeling? Don't let strange images flash through my mind! There are still three underage girls here, okay?" Kawaki complained loudly, so stifled that the veins on his face popped out.

"But speaking of which, Yoshiwara is similar to the Akihabara I live in. However, the scenery here seems to be much better than Akihabara's." Katsura continued, and he recalled the scantily dressed tourists that could be seen everywhere on the road and the shining white scenery that he could see when they were pulling him along...

Looking at Katsura, who was having a nosebleed, Kawaki was really helpless, "You are so innocent at such an old age, just like a middle school student. I don't even know what to say about you. You are obviously interested." As he spoke, Kawaki took out a few coupons with pictures of scantily clad figurines on them and written [Beep-] and familiar [Beep-].

"This is also a New Year's gift," Kawaki said as he handed the coupons to Katsura.

"Are you insulting a Samurai" Katsura shouted and stood up. He took out his sword and cut the coupon in Kawaki's hand into pieces, "I only like NTR!"

"You are insulting the Samurai! How can Samurai like that kind of thing?! Is it really okay to expose your hobby in this kind of situation?!" Shinpachi retorted.

"This is what you want. Don't blame me for not giving you anything in the future and these are the last two." Kawaki said casually.

"Huh?! Really?!" Katsura was shocked. Then he sat down again and fell into depression. Shadows surrounded his whole figure.

"Don't you still want it in the end?! Then why do you want to look like [I'm not that kind of person at all]!" Shinpachi retorted again.

"Shinpachi also has one because I don't know which type Shinpachi likes, so I prepared the ones for the big sister and the maid type. If you want to..." Kawaki took out a few coupons from his bosom again, but before he finished speaking, it was grabbed by Otae and torn to pieces.

Looking at Otae, who was smiling with narrowed eyes, Kawaki swallowed his saliva and continued, "... If you want to tear something, then tear that one. Tearing paper is also a good way of relieving pressure. For example, the examinees who just finished the exam will always tear off their books and exam papers. Isn't Shinpachi usually under a lot of pressure at work?"

Shinpachi, "..."

"I'm sorry, Shinpachi..." Kawaki whispered.

"It's alright..." Shinpachi quickly said, "Speaking of which, Seita seemed to have prepared a show for everyone~ Seita-kun~"

"A show? What are you performing? Is it a chest-shattering stone? If it is, I can barely take a look at it." Kawaki said casually.

"Who can perform that kind of thing?! Do you want me to die?! Do you want to be dyed red during the New Year?!" Seita raised his little face and retorted.

"Isn't it good? Isn't the Chinese New Year always in red colors?" Kawaki replied.

"It's not that kind of show! It's Swordsmanship! Swordsmanship!" Seita raised his little face and shouted.

"Swordsmanship? When did you learn that kind of thing?" Kawaki was puzzled.

"It was you who want me, okay?! Did you lose your memory?!"

"Really?" Kawaki was shocked.

"Do you have a fish-like memory?" Seita was completely defeated, "In short, I just want to show my training results in front of my mother so that brother Kawaki and everyone will have a whole new level of respect for me!"

"Look at you on a new level? How? 3 Eye Exercises?" Kawaki said casually.

"Swordsmanship? I remember back then when we were in the same dojo..." Katsura nodded and said with some emotion, but he was interrupted by Kawaki before he could finish.

"Shut up, Zura."

"It's not Zura, it's Katsura!" Katsura retorted.

"Anything like that is fine~" Kawaki picked his ears and said impatiently. Then he looked at Seita, "Then let's play a game, shall we?"

"A game?" Seita was puzzled.

"Well, as long as you can touch the corner of my clothes using your swordsmanship, your next year of pocket money will be multiplied by 2." Kawaki nodded and said casually.

"Really" Seita was pleasantly surprised.

Kawaki nodded.

"Then you can't use weapons!" Seita was full of confidence, "Brother Shinpachi said that I am the most talented student of their dojo! Now I feel that I am really super strong!"

"That is because you are the only student!" Kawaki retorted, "Sure, as long as you can touch the corner of my clothes. Even if you sprinkle your own blood on me, it is also okay."

"Don't say something so scary!" Shinpachi complained and looked at Seita encouragingly, "Come on, Seita!"

"Yes! Show us the momentum of the Tendou Mushin Ryuu!" Otae continued.

...

The entire room was cleared out. Kawaki and Seita stood opposite each other. One was Kawaki, who casually stuffed his hand in his pockets, and the other was Seita, who was full of confidence. Of course, there was also a group of spectators.

"I haven't seen such a scene in many years." Katsura smiled and sighed softly.

"What are you talking about? Katsura-san?" Shinpachi asked doubtfully.

"Nothing." As he spoke, Katsura also looked at the two who were ready to fight.

Otae stood in the middle of the two and acted as the referee.

"Then, let's begin!" After Otae shouted, she took two steps back while Seita impatiently rushed towards Kawaki.

Kawaki turned a blind eye to it and continued to be lazy as if he didn't put Seita in his eyes at all.

'Got it!' Seita thought to himself, 'Just touch the clothes! Although brother Kawaki looks very strong, but...it's very easy just to touch the clothes'

Thinking of this, Seita waved his bamboo sword...

However, the result would not change according to the thoughts of others. Kawaki, who had just been in front of Seita, disappeared instantly. Before Seita could react, Kawaki had already appeared behind Seita and raised his fist.

With a crisp sound, the competition ended.

The onlookers were speechless when Seita fell to the floor and lost consciousness.

Kawaki stretched and clapped his hands, "Alright, the warm-up exercise is over! I felt uncomfortable just now, I felt my whole body stretched after this punch~"

"You don't have to be so ruthless!" Shinpachi was the first to react, "Shouldn't this battle be more of an encouragement?!"

"Encourage? Encourage what?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.

"Seita has improved a lot! He has been seriously training every rest day! Shouldn't adults be praising his efforts at this time?!"
