章 180: Even Those Who Made the Rules Can’t Easily Break the Rules!

In fact, the members of Hyakka were all pretty good-looking. However, they only had scars on their faces, and they were also covered by tight clothes. Moreover, because of years of training, their figures were also very tall. There was no such thing as flabby or anything like that at all.

There was only one problem with them. That was their personalities... They were not like those ordinary girls at all. After all, they were all sold to Yoshiwara when they were young. Other than the skills that a courtesan should learn, they did not know anything else. Other than these, they only had skills that they had mastered under Tsukuyo's training... killing skills.

...

Looking at the Hyakka members who were gradually starting to talk with the Shinsengumi members, as well as the laughter that came from time to time, Tsukuyo's expression also softened a lot. Tsukuyo began to have some expectations. Perhaps what Kawaki said would really come true one day.

"What an... incredible man," Tsukuyo muttered to herself.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kawaki, who was sitting next to Tsukuyo, asked doubtfully, "Your voice is too soft,"

"Nothing," Tsukuyo replied.

"What a strange person." Kawaki curled his lips and said. Then, he looked at the Hyakka members, who were chatting with the Shinsengumi members in front of him, "Aren't you going over? Maybe you can find the self-awareness of a girl."

"Don't be silly," Tsukuyo replied, "That kind of thing was abandoned by me a long time ago."

After Kawaki snorted disdainfully, he ignored Tsukuyo and walked toward the crowd.

"Ahem," Kawaki cleared his throat and said, "Well, the first part of the social meetup is over now. Next is the second part!"

"Eh? The second part? What is that?"

"Is it karaoke? I see that it's like this in the manga."

"Where can we find karaoke in this kind of wilderness? Are you an idiot?"

A Hyakka member whispered to a Shinsengumi member.

Kawaki coughed twice again and said, "That's right. Usually, it's karaoke, but this kind of wilderness is indeed..."

After a pause, Kawaki said again, "So, in order for the social meetup to proceed smoothly, after the unanimous decision of the social committee, we replaced karaoke with a courage test!"

"A courage test? Isn't that a routine that only appears in love manga?!"

"I didn't think that I would be able to participate in this kind of event one day! I'm so excited!"

"Chief today is really too handsome! Even if he is a gorilla, he is still a super handsome gorilla today!"

Listening to the whispers of his team members, Kondo's expression changed slightly, "Did someone just say a gorilla? Do you think I'm a gorilla too?! Don't look away! Look at my face and say it!"

"Shut up! Gorilla!" Toshiro could not help but shout.

"Even Toshi, you..." Kondo was about to cry out of grievance.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry." Kawaki patted Kondo on the shoulder and comforted him. Then, he handed over two bananas.

Kondo took the bananas and squatted on the ground, feeling wronged.

"Don't get excited! You brats!" Toshiro scolded his own team members.

"This kind of child's play is enough! Have you forgotten the mission? Do you want to commit seppuku?"

"You still have to be gentle with your own subordinates. What that mission of catching the beetle?" Kawaki waved his hand indifferently.

"Right!" The Shinsengumi members echoed.

"You guys..." Toshiro was already on the verge of exploding.

"Perhaps it's because he is afraid that he doesn't dare to participate." Sogo raised his hand and said, "If it's because of this, wouldn't it be fine if he just admitted it?"

"Who would be afraid of something like playing house!" Toshiro shouted.

"Right, then prepare to be divided into groups!" Kawaki cupped his hands and nodded.

"I haven't agreed yet! Bastard!"

"This is also an order from the chief!" Kondo stood up, crossed his arms, and said with a serious face.

Toshiro, "..."

"Gin-chan, it's so interesting. Let's join in-aru!" Kagura said to Gintoki excitedly.

"Huh? I don't want to participate in that kind of thing." Gintoki yawned and waved his hand casually.

"Hey? Is Gin-chan afraid? Is that why he doesn't dare to participate?" Kagura was puzzled.

"What did you say? How could I be afraid of that kind of thing!" Gintoki retorted.

"Then let's participate together-aru!" Kagura said again.

...

The grouping was in the form of drawing lots. Of course, the result of drawing lots was also played by Kawaki and Sogo.

Basically, it was a combination of a man and a woman, but there were also a few special combinations: Kondo and Yamazaki, Sogo and Kagura, Gintoki and Toshiro, Kawaki and... Tsukuyo.

"Why didn't I get a girl?" Kondo complained, "Why is my partner Yamazaki?"

"What's going on?" Kawaki whispered into Sogo's ear, "Didn't we agree that Tsukki and Kagura-chan would be in the same group? Did you make a mistake?"

"I can't help it, boss." Sogo waved his hand, "There are too many people, and I made a slight mistake in the end."

"Um, can you exchange place with me, Kagura-chan?" Kawaki said to Kagura with a smile.

"Okay." Kagura did not think too much and agreed.

Gintoki and Toshiro, who were standing at the side, finally reacted. They pointed at each other and shouted, "Why am I in the same group as this guy?!"

"It can't be helped. This is also the result of drawing lots..." Kawaki waved his hand and said casually.

"We also want to exchange!" Gintoki and Toshiro shouted again.

"We also want to change!" Kondo also shouted, "Why is my partner not a girl! It's not fair at all! And I am also a member of the committee, right? I should have special privileges, right?"

Then, all the people in the divided group expressed their protest.

Looking at the angry crowd, Sogo sighed and came to Kawaki and whispered, "In this kind of situation, we can only re-group or put you in a difficult position. However, it will be too much of a waste of time to re-group... So..."

Kawaki, who was holding his forehead, finally chose to switch back with Kagura.

"Are you satisfied" Kawaki shouted, "Therefore, the grouping of all members can not be changed!"

Everyone: Why do you look so indignant?

...

"Alright! This is the entrance!" Kawaki stood in front of a small path in the forest and said to the crowd, "The route is to go from here to the end, then go around the right side of the forest and come back. The one with the least time can be obtained... That, Sogo-kun, we don't seem to have prepared any prizes, right?"

"Then how about we use Hijikata's head as a reward?" Sogo raised his hand and suggested.

"That's enough..." Toshiro said.

"Let's talk about the prize later. In short, we have to let the event continue." Kawaki said again, "Then, come in groups one by one. The time between the first group and the next group is one minute."

"I am really looking forward to it. This kind of scene can only happen in love manga." A Shinsengumi member said expectantly.

"Don't underestimate this forest. It is said that this used to be a battlefield. There are countless ghosts wandering inside." Kawaki said with a smile, "Then... let's begin!"

After Kawaki finished speaking, the people who had been divided into groups in advance began to walk down the trail in an orderly manner. After a while, the screams of the girls rang out.

"This is youth," Kawaki said with a smile.

...

After nearly an hour, it was Kawaki and the others' turn.

"The gorilla and virgin have entered. The two of you will be next." Kawaki smiled and looked at Gintoki and Toshiro.

"Tsk, what a terrible group," Toshiro said disdainfully. Then, he looked at Gintoki, "Hurry up and end this farce."

"Huh? What did you say?" Gintoki unhappily said, "Do you think I'm willing to be in the same group as you? I want to vomit when I see your face, okay?!"

Then, the two of them started to fight.

"But... boss is really amazing," Sogo said, holding his phone, "You even know that this place used to be a battlefield."

"Huh?" Kawaki looked at Sogo with a puzzled expression.

"Here," Sogo pointed the screen of his mobile phone to everyone, "In this article, it said that this forest used to be a battlefield. It is said that there were people who saw ghosts holding their heads in the forest at night."

Kawaki, Gintoki, and Toshiro's faces instantly darkened. Listening to the screams coming from the forest from time to time, the three people's faces darkened even more.

"That... I suddenly feel a pain in my stomach." Gintoki was the first to speak.

"That... Actually, it's me too. It should be because I eat too much grilled meat." Toshiro raised his hand and said.

"Actually, I..." Just as Kawaki opened his mouth, he saw Tsukuyo, who was beside him, reveal a look of disdain. Thus, he quickly changed his words and said, "You guys aren't afraid, are you? If you're afraid, just say it. As long as you admit it boldly, we won't force you guys."

"Who... who's afraid!" Gintoki shouted, "I just ate too much curry, causing my an*s to feel like spitting out curry!"

"Hey, it's disgusting..." Kawaki retorted expressionlessly.

"Boss, don't force the two of them. After all, it's understandable for them to be afraid of ghosts." Sogo sighed, "Of course, maybe tomorrow the newspaper will publish news that the Deputy Chief of Shinsengumi is not as brave as girls~."

"What did you say!" Toshiro was furious.

"That makes sense." Kawaki nodded and looked at Gintoki with sympathy, "Don't worry. If you are afraid, you don't have to force yourself. My mouth is very tight. What Gintoki is more courageous than girls? I will never tell Takaji and Zura. I will not even talk about it to Kurokono. No one will laugh at you! Don't worry!"

"Can you delete the message you are composing first and then say this?" Gintoki was speechless. He then faced the dark forest trail behind him and said stubbornly, "It's just this level. I have a nickname called Ghost Killer."

"You too?" Toshiro said in surprise, "I also have a nickname Deputy Chief Ghost Killer of Shinsengumi. I am the deputy chief who specializes in killing ghosts."

"I see. Then you two should go in quickly." Kawaki and Sogo pushed the two people at the same time.

Looking at the two people who were getting further and further away and gradually falling into darkness, Kawaki and Sogo showed bright and clear smiles at the same time.
