'Your mission is to keep an eye on Kawaki!'
Shinpachi looked at Kawaki, who was constantly shouting [another bowl] in the ramen shop, and couldn't help but think of Gintoki's words.
"I think Gin-san's verbal orders are completely unnecessary. Kawaki-san doesn't look like someone who likes to mess around." Shinpachi muttered and then looked at Kagura, "Hey! Wipe your saliva!"
"Pachi, I can't hold it-aru..." After saying that, Kagura staggered towards Kawaki.
"No, Kagura-chan. Gin-san's order is to keep an eye on Kawaki-san." Shinpachi quickly pulled Kagura-chan and advised.
In the end, the two of them had been discovered by Kawaki.
"Eh? What are you two doing here?" Kawaki swallowed the noodles in his mouth and asked.
"Ah! I was discovered. It's all your fault, Kagura-chan." Shinpachi whispered.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat ramen?" Kawaki asked again.
…
"Itadakimasu!" x2
"Hey, why did you pick up the pork in my bowl? Don't you have it yourself?" Shinpachi roared.
"The food in your bowl seems to be more delicious-aru..." Kagura said as she ate.
"Then give me the pork in your bowl." As he spoke, Shinpachi extended his chopsticks into Kagura's bowl. However, Kagura did not give Shinpachi the chance to do so. She instantly shifted the position of her bowl.
"You are too cunning!"
Looking at the two people who were making a fuss, Kawaki smiled helplessly and said, "You two are really energetic."
"Right, why didn't the silver-haired naturally wavy hair come this time?" Kawaki asked Shinpachi and Kagura with a smile.
However, the two people who were fighting over the ramen had no time to look over and just casually responded.
Finally, after the two of them finished eating, Kawaki paid the bill and walked out of the ramen shop.
Shinpachi and Kagura quickly followed him, but after following him for a while, they found that he had disappeared.
"What should we do? Gin-san told us to keep a close eye on him!" Shinpachi frowned and said.
Suddenly, Kawaki's voice came from behind them, startling both of them, "What are you two trying to do?"
"Ah, actually, there's nothing." Shinpachi turned his head and said.
"En, there is absolutely no such thing as staring at you-aru!" Kagura nodded and said.
"Hey! You already said it!" Shinpachi quickly covered Kagura's mouth and looked at Kawaki. At the same time, he laughed and said, "Actually, we were just passing by..."
"Who would believe it!" Kawaki shouted, but then he sighed and continued, "That idiot really underestimated me. He even asked two children to keep an eye on me."
"Eh? Is Kawaki-san not going to make a move on Rengokukan?" Shinpachi asked curiously.
"Make a move? Who said that?" Kawaki was confused.
"At that time..." Shinpachi was referring to the killing intent that burst out from Kawaki at that time.
"Oh, that," Kawaki finally understood, so he stretched out a finger and explained, "At that time, I thought that today was the game's expected release date, but at that time I had already missed the time, so I was a little angry."
"Hey, you are really so scary when you are angry..." Shinpachi complained in a low voice.
"Actually, I was just angry at myself. So I just turned anger into appetite!" Kawaki clenched his fists and his face was full of indignation.
"Enough, I don't want to complain anymore," Shinpachi said with a black face.
"Where did that idiot go? Does he want to get involved with that Rengokukan?" Kawaki asked, then sighed and continued, "He still likes to meddle in other people's business as always."
"I don't know..." Shinpachi just said this, but then he thought of something and took out a folded paper from his body.
"Gin-san said that if there was an accident, we could come to this place to look for him."
In fact, this piece of paper was secretly thrown to Gintoki when Toshiro took Sogo away, but no one noticed it.
"Well, then why don't I get involved? It sounds interesting, doesn't it?" Kawaki suggested with a smile.
"Eh? Ehhh~!"
…
"It looks like this is the right place..." Gintoki squatted in the grass and muttered to himself as he looked at the wooden house not far away.
Just as Gintoki was thinking about whether he should take this step, he suddenly heard the scream of a child. He then rushed over without thinking.
When he reached the door, Gintoki carefully squatted in front of the door. At the same time, he opened the door a little and looked inside. He saw dozens of children playing around, not the scene he imagined.
"What the hell is going on?"
Just as Gintoki was surprised, a man's voice sounded, and…
"Theif!" The man shouted, and at the same time, he gave Gintoki a One Thousand Years of Death.
"Ahhh!!!"
Kawaki and the other two, who had just arrived, looked at this scene with black lines on their faces.
Fortunately, Kawaki was quick and immediately covered Kagura's eyes, "Forget about this! This kind of dirty adult world is not in your summer homework!"
…
"I'm really sorry about what happened just now." The middle-aged man with a buzz cut sat in front of the table and looked at the three people in front of him and continued, "Because your [Ass] looks suspicious. If I am not careful..."
Kawaki, Gintoki, and Shinpachi sat opposite the middle-aged man with a buzz cut, while Kagura was playing with a group of children.
"Bastard, how could ass look suspicious?" Gintoki said while rubbing his buttocks, "Damn it! My ass is splitting in two!"
"Gintoki, calm down. Everyone's ass is in two halves!" After saying that, Kawaki pretended to be a little regretful, "It's already fortunate enough that it didn't help you open the door to some new world, right, Shinpachi?"
"Hey, are you looking forward to Gin-san opening the door to some new world?" Shinpachi complained.
"What's wrong with you two? Didn't I tell you two to look after Kawaki?" Gintoki continued.
"This..." Shinpachi scratched his head and laughed.
"But to be honest, you were also careless. Hiding there to peek at other people's homes is really..." The man continued.
"I heard that there is a scary demon living nearby, is it really okay to bring such a group of children?" Gintoki raised his head and asked.
"Demon? It sounds strange..." The middle-aged man smiled and continued, "Are you saying you're [Momotaro], the demon slayer?"
"We are not interested in inferior demons. Our goal is the head of the demon." Gintoki casually replied, "Of course, if there is a rare treasure, it is another matter."
"Rare treasure?" As he spoke, the middle-aged man put on the familiar red demon mask, "If you have to say it, then it must be those children."
Gintoki & Shinpachi: "Ah~!"
"Y-you, what the hell are you trying to do" Gintoki, who was lying on the ground, shouted.
"I just want to ask what you want to do." The middle-aged... no, it should be called Kidomaru, "Did you follow me all the way from the arena?"
"Actually, it was an address given by a yellow-haired police officer. It has nothing to do with me!" Gintoki replied.
"Then... you are..." Shinpachi said in disbelief.
"Hey, hey, calm down. The two of you," Kawaki continued helplessly, "Gintoki, have your senses regressed to the time of a baby?"
As he spoke, Kawaki poured himself a cup of tea.
Seeing Kawaki's attitude, the middle-aged man took off his demon mask again, "I am Rengokukan's fighter, Kidomaru. My name is Oshou Doushin."
...
At dusk, Kawaki and the other two sat under the eaves and watched Kagura playing with a group of children.
"Hey, is this really okay? Giving us tea?" Gintoki sighed and continued, "We are here to deal with the scary demon."
"Please change [We] to [I] to be more accurate, Gintoki." Kawaki reminded from the side. Then, he picked up his teacup and looked at the group of children who were playing around.
"Haha, Are you sure? You're having tea with a bloody demon like me..." Oshou Doushin replied with a smile.
"I won't treat a guy surrounded by so many children as a demon," Gintoki said as he picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"These children are..." Shinpachi asked.
"They are all my children." Oshou Doushin replied.
"It seems that you were very good at flirting when you were young~" Gintoki teased.
Oshou Doushin smiled and continued, "No, everyone was abandoned." As he spoke, Oshou Doushin picked up a child who had just learned how to walk with a face full of love.
"You, could it be that you did that to raise this group of little brats..." Gintoki muttered.
"Do I look that great? This me who is covered in blood..."
"Are you..." Gintoki said in confusion.
"Be it now, or in the past, I have always been a [Killer]. I've always been strong and without knowing it everybody called me [Killer]." Oshou Doushin continued, "After all, I killed people so I was thrown into prison and waiting for my head to roll. At that time, a group of people took a fancy to my fighting skills and redeemed me from prison. Those are them. You seem to want to destroy Rengokukan, but I advise you and for your own safety, it's better not to get involved."
"Don't worry, the little brother next to you is a big man who is afraid of ghosts~?" Gintoki said casually.
"Ah?" Kawaki suddenly reacted, "Hey! What are you talking about? Is there a need to drag me into the water?"
However, in the end, Kawaki looked at the children playing around and turned to Oshou Doushin, "Hey, I still need a security guard. Are you interested?"
"You...what are you..."
"To atone for your sins, you can't simply rely on such means to raise these little brats who don't know where they came from. At the very least, if you want to completely atone for your sins, you have to wait until you raise them into outstanding adults. Think about it carefully. I will wait for you in Yoshiwara. Although it is also an underground world, it is different from what you used to be."
After saying that, Kawaki stood up and was about to leave. But at this time, a kunai shot straight at Kawaki's forehead.

Kawaki got up and pulled out the kunai on his head. At the same time, he looked at the person who came, "So it's Tsu-chan..."
"Didn't you say that you were going out to buy a game?! It's been a day and you don't know how to go back. Are you lost? Bastard!!" As Tsukuyo spoke, she dragged Kawaki by the collar and left. Of course, Tsukuyo did not forget to greet the people behind her.
"Hey, don't forget what I said..." Kawaki shouted at Oshou Doushin.
"Just who is he..." Oshou Doushin watched the two of them walk away before muttering again.
"That guy is Yoshiwara's Night King. Although he looks like that..." Gintoki put down his teacup and said casually, but his eyes were still on the children playing around.
"Yoshiwara's Night King... How could such a big figure..." Oshou Doushin still found it hard to believe.
"What that guy said is right. If you want to atone for your sins, at least raise these children first." Gintoki continued, "Then, the first thing is done. The second thing, it's my turn to ask you. Can you lend me the mask?"
"You..."
"Don't be mistaken. We bet on you. If we lose money, we will be very disappointed." Gintoki looked at the laughing children and said.
After saying that, Gintoki stood up and walked into the room. He picked up the red demon mask and put it on his head.
"Ah, it smells so bad. It smells like a middle-aged uncle." Gintoki complained, "This kind of thing needs to be washed often, otherwise it will be full of uncle stink."
"Hmph, really a group of self-willed guys," Oshou Doushin stood up and looked at Gintoki who was in the room, "You have arranged the rest of the other people's lives. Do you feel sympathy for them?"
"Eh? I don't remember giving you a choice or arranging your life. I have never felt sympathy for a scary demon. Both I and that guy are the same." Gintoki said and took off his mask, "We just can't bear to see an outstanding parent act as a father and also act as a scary demon. Although that is the case, it seems that all parents in the world are like this."
"An outstanding parent? Can a father who raises children with dirty money still be called outstanding?" Oshou Doushin snorted and said.
"But aren't you regretting it now?"
"When I first picked up the first child, I only wanted to make up for the guilt in my heart." Oshou Doushin replied.
"For this reason, you can adopt so many children until now? It's not easy to raise children." As he spoke, Gintoki walked out the door, "It's time to take my leave. That guy is right. Although it's also an underground world, it's two different worlds from the place you were in before. Of course, I believe you will understand this when you see that guy."
After saying that, Gintoki had already walked to the open space outside the door, "Then, it's my matter from now on. I still have to find that bastard to spit on."
After saying that, Gintoki walked towards Kagura and Shinpachi who were playing with the children.
"Hey, you two, let's go. The work has begun."
"Yes!" × 2
"Right," Gintoki suddenly thought of something. He turned his head and said, "As for the reward, let these children remember to pay it back when they grow up. Kabukicho, Yorozuya, Gin-san, remember it well."
After saying that, Gintoki left with Shinpachi and Kagura.
Looking at the backs of the three people, Oshou Doushin smiled helplessly, "What a group of completely self-righteous guys, but..."
"What a group of strange guys." a child said.
"This is the first time a guest has come to our house, Sensei," A child said to Oshou Doushin.
"Yes..." Oshou Doushin replied. At the same time, he looked at the group of children and continued, "What do you think? Shall we move?"
"Anyway, as long as we follow you, we are willing to go anywhere!"
"Yeah, as long as I can go with you, I am willing to go anywhere." Oshou Doushin murmured.
"Then, let's go together, to your new home." Kawaki walked out from the side again. There was a group of Hyakka's members behind him.
"Don't worry, those guys who are monitoring here have all been dealt with." Kawaki said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you want to leave Edo or accept my suggestion to go to Yoshiwara. If you want to leave, I will help you escape,"
"Thank you so much..."
…
Looking at the group of children talking about other members of Hyakka, Kawaki, and Oshou Doushin just smiled and said nothing.
"This," Kawaki threw a large bag at Oshou Doushin, "Although it is not much, it is enough for you to raise them. Go."
Oshou Doushin opened it and found that it was all pure gold.
"There is no need to decline. I just like those children. If they are hungry, I will be very sad." Kawaki said as he looked at the group of children, "Those guys, Tendoshu's strength is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Try to find a safe place to hide and change your name."
"This..." Oshou Doushin did not know what to say.
"A grown man is still so wishy-washy. I wonder if you can raise these children into outstanding adults." Kawaki complained.
"You are not allowed to say that to our Sensei!" A child walked over and said.
"When talking to an elder, you have to use honorifics!" As he spoke, Kawaki squatted down and looked at the little boy in front of him. He smiled and continued, "Please protect your Sensei well. We have an agreement."
After he finished speaking, Kawaki extended his pinky…
Looking at Oshou Doushin and the children who had disappeared into the night, Kawaki did not say a word. Even Tsukuyo, who was at the side, did not know what Kawaki was thinking.
Kawaki stood here until dawn until the group of Hyakka members returned.
"That man and those children have successfully escaped." A member of Hyakka reported.
"Then, let's go back." Kawaki smiled and said, but when he left, he glanced in the direction where Oshou Doushin left with those children.
For many moments when he was with those children, Kawaki could find a shadow of himself in them. Perhaps, it was also this point that made Kawaki decide to help Oshou Doushin.
…
"Hey, what is this? A new punishment game?" Kawaki looked at the pork chop rice covered with mayonnaise in front of him with a black face. He raised his head and looked at Toshiro, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Eat it. It's my treat." Toshiro waved his hand and said.
Kawaki glanced at Gintoki, who was digging his nose, and then looked at Toshiro and Sogo opposite him, "Do you have any conspiracy? Even if it's a conspiracy, can you replace this dog food for me? Don't look down on me!"
"You actually said that the special upgraded version of [Katsudon Hijikata Special] dog food! Do you want to fight? Bastard!" Toshiro shouted.
"You are the one who wants to fight! You are an Egg-Fried Demon!" After Kawaki finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed, "Chicken One, Chicken Two, Chicken Three..."
However, it was different from what Kawaki had imagined. Toshiro did not react at all.
"Eh? This won't work anymore?" Kawaki asked in surprise.
"Yoshiwara's boss, there's no need to try. I've already used this move too many times. Now, Hijikata-san is already somewhat immune to it," Sogo explained, "But it was really interesting back then. Hijikata-san didn't dare to eat mayonnaise for a week after that. During those few days, I could see Hijikata-san's conflicted expression that he wanted to eat but didn't dare to. It was really too interesting. Oh right, I capture it. If you need it, I can pass it to you," Sogo explained.
After saying that, Sogo took out his phone and Kawaki also took out his phone.
"Both of you want to die, right?" Toshiro roared.
"Then, what exactly is the matter? I'm busy at home playing a new game. The time is tight." Kawaki frowned and complained.
"Hey, did you make that Kidomaru disappear?" Toshiro asked.
"Eh? Kidomaru is gone?! What happened?" Kawaki made a surprised expression and then continued, "By the way, who is Kidomaru?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid, you bastard!" Toshiro was no longer calm and stood up, "At least admit it when you do it!"
"Ah, I don't know what you are talking about at all..." Kawaki retorted, "If it's Sesshomaru, I know it, and I can lend you the full set of [Inuyasha] DVDs if you need it."
Hearing this, Toshiro did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, he continued, "After those guys found out that Kidomaru was missing, they secretly searched the entire Edo, but they did not find any clues."
"Eh?" Kawaki pretended to be surprised, but he turned around and vomited.
"Why did you eat that kind of dog food?" Gintoki quickly shouted, "Ambulance! Ambulance!"
"Hey! Do you want to get beaten up!"
…
"Then, what do you want to do now?" Kawaki asked curiously, "What's the purpose of the police working with Yorozuya, who takes all kinds of work?"
"This mayonnaise vice-captain of our group seems to have changed his mind and wants to destroy Rengokukan." Sogo raised his hand and said.
"Hey! Lower your voice! You bastard!" Toshiro shouted. At the same time, he looked at Kawaki, who was at the side, "In short, I just said it. I don't want to ask you for help."
"The translation is: I really can't bring myself to ask you for help, although I really want your help." Before Sogo could finish speaking, Toshiro knocked his head.
"Who said that!" Toshiro said angrily. At the same time, he looked at Kawaki again, "I have also considered a lot. In the end, I still want to destroy it. After all, I am a policeman."
Kawaki, Gintoki, and Sogo clapped at the same time.
"The three of you are really asking for a beating! Bastard!"
"Don't worry. Even if Bakufu really wants to punish you later, feel free to come to me. I will arrange a suitable job for you. Now Yoshiwara is undergoing a major industrial adjustment, and the [Shemale Bar] is in our store is under consideration." Kawaki nodded and said.
"Die!" Toshiro raised his knife and was about to cut it, but he was stopped by Sogo.
…
A few days later, Kawaki heard the news that [Rengokukan] had been sealed by Shinsengumi. However, he did not hear the news that Bakufu had punished
Shinsengumi.
Then, Kawaki looked down at the [Shemale Bar] proposal in his hand and fell into deep thought…
[Rengokukan chapter, finished! ]
