章節 197: Chapter 197: The Truth About Kisaragi Shin'etsu
"Kisaragi Shin'etsu? It's an unfamiliar name."
Amagai was silent for a while, and then responded, he tried his best to calm himself down, but his heart was still shaking.
Because the Kisaragi Shin'etsu Mazuru spoke of was his father. He saw his father die at the hands of Yamamoto Genryusai with his own eyes, so he made up his mind to avenge his father and also colluded with others for the sake of revenge.
But, today, he heard another version of the story from Mazuru.
Kisaragi Shin'etsu lost control of his body and mind because of the Bakkōtō's possession, and Yamamoto had no choice but to kill him.
Of course, it was still Yamamoto who killed Kisaragi Shin'etsu, but the cause of death originated from the Kasumioji family.
Mazuru spoke so clearly and concisely, that Amagai couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart.
Immediately, he regained his will as he believed in what he saw with his own eyes more than what Mazuru said.
"It's a very wonderful story. I don't know where Captain Mazuru heard it from." Amagai said with a smile.
Mazuru looked serious, "This is not a story."
Amagai's smile froze again.
"This is an old and real incident that happened back then. If Captain Shusuke is willing to investigate, maybe you can find some clues about it. After all, whether it is about forcibly equipping Kisaragi Shin'etsu with a Bakkōtō or manipulating him to try to assassinate the head-captain Yamamoto, Kumoi Gyokaku who committed the crime and the head-captain who killed him in the end is still alive..."
While talking, Mazuru sighed again, "So, in my opinion these aristocrats are really unlikable. They all look very glamorous, but they are full of dirty things behind their backs."
"If it wasn't for the fact that the Kasumioji family violated the prohibition and forged the Bakkōtō secretly, these things would not have happened, and moreover it is unknow whether the Kasumioji family is still producing the Bakkōtō or not…"
"Central 46 has not been reorganized yet, if they are still secretly making this kind of forbidden weapon, it seems it would be a good opportunity to investigate them."
Mazuru muttered as if it was just a fleeting thought, and then, without mentioning anything more about Kasumioji family, he continued to drink with Amagai.
While Amagai was drinking with Mazuru on the surface, in reality, he was absent-minded.
After hearing the story Mazuru told him, how could he still be in the mood to drink.
After he separated from Mazuru, he returned to the Fifth Division.
Some team members saw him from a distance, but chose to avoid him actively, and showed their attitude that they hated him very much.
For this, Amagai didn't cared at all.
Although it seemed that he had done a lot of things to restore the reputation of the Fifth Division after he became the captain of the Fifth Division, but in fact these things were done just to confuse people's eyes. His real purpose was of getting into Gotei 13 was to take the opportunity, and avenge his father by killing Yamamoto.
But today, after hearing Mazuru's version of the story, his mood suddenly became messy.
Was what he saw real?
Or is what Mazuru said the real truth?
"Is there really something hidden about father's death?"
Immediately, Amagai thought of what Mazuru said.
The ones involved in the incident in that year, whether it was Yamamoto Genryasai Shigekuni who killed Kisaragi Shin'etsu, or the retainer of Kasumioji family, Kumoi Gyokaku, who was the one who forced the Bakkōtō on Kisaragi Shin'etsu, were still alive.
Whether the truth was really as Mazuru said or not, he will definitely find out after asking the persons concerned.
He didn't intend to look for Yamamoto for answers, but if it was about asking Kumoi Gyokaku, he could indeed get the answer from him.
So after making sure that nobody was paying attention to him, Amagai secretly sneaked out of the Fifth Division, and then went to Kasumioji house.
In Kasumioji house, the retainer Kumoi Gyokaku's room was brightly lit as he was processing some documents.
The Kasumioji family, as the upper class noble that was second only to the four great nobles, had a lot of people attached to their family for their livelihoods, so the workload was quite heavy. The head of the family, Kasumiōji Rurichiyo, was still young and can't bear such a big responsibility, so it landed on Kumoi Gyokaku's shoulders.
A figure opened the door and walked in.
When Kumoi Gyokaku heard the sound of the door opening, he put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the person who came, and was a little surprised, "Why are you here at this hour?"
He looked at Amagai, and tried to guess the purpose of Amagai's late night visit. Immediately, some excitement appeared on Kumoi Gyokaku's old face, "Did you find the whereabouts of Rurichiyo?"
The relationship between him and Amagai was very delicate and based on their respective interests.
For some reason, Amagai wanted to kill the Head-captain Yamamoto. In order to kill Yamamoto, Amagai needed strength, and the Bakkōtō produced by the Kasumioji family could give Amagai strength. As for him, Kumoi Gyokaku, after the former head of the Kasumioji family died and the new head's position fell on Rurichiyo, he who had ambitions since he was young planned to take over the Kasumioji family and make it his own.
So just after he met Amagai, the two hit it off instantly.
Amagai would help him get rid of Rurichiyo and became the real owner of the Kasumioji family, and he would help Amagai in exacting his revenge.
Amagai shook his head, "Rurichiyo seems to have fled to the world of living. I am still looking for her whereabouts. As for why I am here tonight, it is to ask you some questions."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Kumoi Gyokaku was curious.
"Do you know someone named Kisaragi Shin'etsu?"
"Kisaragi Shin'etsu?" Kumoi Gyokaku was stunned, he was a little confused about the certain mention of someone, but since Amagai asked this question, he still thought about it, "It seems that there was indeed such a person."
He felt that he was somewhat familiar with this name.
Immediately, he began to think even more carefully and tried to remember about it.
"I remembered!" Kumoi Gyokaku said loudly.
Amagai's eyes froze, his heart suddenly felt a huge amount of palpitations, but first he planned to quietly listen to Kumoi Gyokaku's story.
"Let me tell you, this Kisaragi Shin'etsu is not a good person. He is one of the apprentices of Captain Yamamoto Genryusai. Back then, under the command of Captain Yamamoto, he sneaked into our Kasumioji house secretly, intending to plot something evil, but I finally discovered his intentions…"
"And then?" Amagai asked.
"Of course I didn't let him get away so easily!" Kumoi Gyokaku said, "I remember I fitted him with a newly made Bakkōtō, but he couldn't bear the pressure brought by the strong Bakkōtō. The power seemed to be going out of control, and it seems that afterwards he was killed by the Captain Yamamoto himself.
Kumoi Gyokaku looked at Amagai again, "I don't know why you have such deep hatred for Captain Yamamoto, but I can tell you, the strength of Captain Yamamoto is not that something ordinary people can imagine, and he is ruthless! He can even kill his own apprentice, so if you attack him without sufficient preparations, he will never let you get away lightly."
