Maybe a Fake Gintama Chapter 399 The Rule of Turn-Based Card Games Lies in the Word Turn!
A gentle female voice spread out from the speakers placed around the competition venue.
[I'm very sorry, dear viewers, today's Terakado Tsuu Official Fan Battle will be held on a different date due to special reasons. Please pay attention to Oedo TV and the bulletin boards of various Yoshiwara stores for the specific date.]
[By the way, all previously eliminated teams can also register to compete again. Finally, all spectators are requested to leave in an orderly manner.]
At the same time, a group of Hyakka members appeared in the audience stands, guiding these otaku to leave in an orderly manner...
"It's over?!"
"No, isn't it still not over?"
"But wouldn't that mean we still have a chance?!"
"Yes! We still have a chance!"
...
In the midst of the voices of doubt and surprise, soon, only Kawaki, Otsuu-chan, and the host who did not dare to make a sound, as well as Tsusengumi and Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards, who were on the stage or below the stage, were left.
"Kawaki-sama, it has been completed according to your instructions." A Hyakka instantly appeared in front of Kawaki and reported with her head lowered, "The audience has already left, and the live broadcast has stopped."
"Good," Kawaki responded softly. Then, he turned his head slightly to look at Otsuu-chan, who had not reacted at all, "There is no need to doubt it. The matter is as what was announced. Today's competition is over. This is the only sponsor's proposal, and Oedo TV also agrees."
Without waiting for Otsuu to reply, Kawaki turned around and walked toward the boxing ring step by step.
...
"Little uncle..." Kagura looked at Kawaki who came to the boxing ring, "Why did you end the game? They are clearly ready to start the final battle. "
"If it was really a competition, it would have already ended." Kawaki looked at Toshiro, who was struggling to get up in the boxing ring, "Gintoki, you should have noticed it too, right? The outcome of this battle has already ended."
Just as Kawaki finished speaking, Kondo, who was beside him, rushed over furiously and grabbed Kawaki by the collar.
"What the hell are you doing?! If that's the case, wouldn't Toshi's efforts today all go to waste?!"
"Let go, or I'll send you to heaven." Kawaki only lightly reminded him.
Kondo seemed to have no intention of letting go at all. However, Sogo, who had just walked over, keenly sensed the killing intent in Kawaki's words. He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Kondo away.
"Boss, even if it's to trick Hijikata, there's no need to be so ruthless, right?" Sogo spread out his hands and said, "Moreover, it's about to end soon. According to the development just now, it will definitely be a real fight between two people. It should be very interesting..."
"End? What end?"
Kawaki gently raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. He glanced at Gintoki and the others present, then glanced at Kondo and the others. Finally, he fixed his eyes on the two people who had already stood up.
"The competition and Toshi's pain are coming to an end!" Kondo could not bear it and shouted.
"Shut up," After Kawaki lightly reminded him, he appeared on the stage in a flash and walked in front of Toshiro and Shinpachi, "If it was a real competition, it would have ended long ago. The winner is Shinpachi."
"Huh?! Me?! I win?!" Shinpachi pointed at himself and looked at Kawaki in disbelief.
"What kind of joke is this? Both of their LP have fallen to zero at the same time!" Kondo argued angrily, "That could only be considered a draw at the most!"
"Gintoki, you should have noticed it already, right? Tell him, according to the rules of the competition, who is the final winner?" Kawaki said without looking back.
"If according to the rules of the competition."
"The winner is Shinpachi." Gintoki crossed his arms and slowly analyzed, "The game is over from the moment Shinpachi's [Makeup Session] reflect attack begins. Before the [Makeup Session] reflect attack had ended, Hijikata started the next round without authorization. According to the rules of the turn-based card game, before the previous round is over, the next round cannot be started without authorization... Do you understand? "
"How could this be..." Kondo could not help but stagger back two steps and continued, "Indeed, before the last round ended, Toshi activated the card for the next round. At the very least, he could only activate the card for the next round after the reflected attack was dealt with. This is the iron rule of the turn-based card game... In a situation where the round is not over, you absolutely can not activate a card for the next round without permission... In other words, the game has ended?! The final winner is... my brother-in-law?!"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense! Who is your brother-in-law!" Green veins popped up on Shinpachi's forehead, and he shouted angrily.
"Although the rules of this competition have become a mess because of that willful little girl on the stage, I still want to remind you that some rules should not be forgotten even if you are prepared to die." As he said that, Kawaki glanced at Toshiro, who had his head lowered and no expression on his face, "Am I right? For that scum, you Otaku Tosshi are ready to die."
"Otaku Tosshi?" Kondo suddenly reacted, "It's actually Otaku Tosshi?! Isn't it Toshiro?!"
"No," Shinpachi shook his head, then looked at Otaku Tosshi in front of him and said, "At that time, I noticed that at the last moment when Hijikata-san suffered the counterattack effect of [Makeup Session], I noticed that Hijikata-san's eyes had changed. The one who shouted was Otaku Tosshi!"
"Although I don't know what kind of deal you made with that guy, I think you didn't ask him to do such a thing for you, right?" Kawaki looked at Otaku Tosshi indifferently, "You should have wanted to work hard on your own from the beginning, right? But V-shaped bangs, who are in the same body as you, have mistaken your intention and have been working for you for so long, right? You want to truly be you, right? To experience what it's like to be alive once and then disappear like they want them to, right?"
Kawaki's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he continued to say, "You...planned to disappear after it was over from the beginning, right? Because you feel sorry for that bastard, right?"
Everyone present widened their eyes and looked at Otaku Tosshi in disbelief.
"No, this competition can not end." Otaku Tosshi shook his head and then raised his head. He looked at Kawaki and pleaded, "Toshiro has worked very hard, he has worked very hard for me! You must continue! If I don't disappear, Toshiro will be very distressed! Please! Let the game continue! Please!"
Tears began to well up in the corners of Otaku Tosshi's eyes.
"For you?" Kawaki sneered disdainfully, "That bastard was not doing it for you from the beginning. He was only doing it for himself. From the beginning, his goal was just to make you disappear. Don't you know? No, you should know, right?"
Otaku Tosshi lowered his head and remained silent.
"Also, do you really know what you are doing?" Kawaki turned around and glanced at Kondo and the others, "Ascend to heaven? Don't joke around. You are just forcing him to commit suicide. He is not a ghost..."
As he spoke, Kawaki's voice became louder and he began to roar, "He! He is the real Hijikata Toshiro! The other self that has always existed in this man's body! The companion who has the same memory and name that you have never noticed! He's just a companion of yours with a different personality! "
"Please don't say anymore! Toshiro will be distressed! I beg you!" Otaku Tosshi suddenly knelt down to Kawaki and lowered his head heavily. He pleaded with tears in his eyes, "Also, please let the game continue! Please! Kawaki-san!"
"Get up and stand properly." Kawaki looked coldly at Otaku Tosshi on the ground. Then, he turned to look at Kondo and the others, "This is the truth of his existence. Moreover, I have to remind you that he can't disappear or ascend to heaven himself. There is only one way to make him disappear. That is, he is willing to commit suicide. Perhaps the statement is a little inaccurate, but that is it. Everything you have done today is to force him to take that step. In other words, you guys are standing behind him holding a knife."
"Recognition? Proof that you lived in this world?" Kawaki snorted, "Does that thing really exist? Or do you really need it?"
"Otaku Tosshi, you... Are you really Toshi?" Kondo looked at Toshiro in disbelief, "Did you really exist from the very beginning? Is what this person said true?!"
"It's true," Kawaki answered on behalf of Otaku Tosshi, "Although he is timid and has a different personality, he is undoubtedly your companion. So, what are you going to do now?"
"This kind of thing..." Kondo clenched his fists, and his face showed a look of pity, "Why couldn't this kind of thing...this kind of thing be told to us earlier?! Who are we?! To you, we are also your companions, right?! Because the memories are exactly the same?! If so, you should have said this kind of thing earlier! What on earth did you ask us to do? Does it really not matter to you to let us kill our companions with our own hands?!"
"You should ask the other one about this." Kawaki glanced at Otaku Tosshi, who was still kneeling on the ground, "But there is no hurry. I still have something to give you. You stand up first."
Otaku Tosshi wiped the tears from his face and slowly stood up. However, he still did not look up.
Kawaki slowly took out a small transparent glass bottle from his bosom. Through the glass bottle, you could see a small green pill inside.
