"Okay, stop kneeling and go get some rest. A person who doesn't get enough sleep can't defeat the captains of the Shinsengumi."

After leaving these words, Takeshi Hanpingtai no longer stayed and left directly.

When he turned his back to Okada Izo, the smile on his face quickly disappeared... In just a snap of his fingers, the "smile" turned into an "indifference" without sadness or joy.

The next day, night——

Kyoto, somewhere——

"La la la la~~burp! La la la~~ga! La la la la~~burp!"

Tortaro Ikeda sang a tuneless song and burped loudly from time to time.

As a core confidant of Qinghe Hachiro, he has been really happy recently.

They successfully formed an alliance with the Tosa Kinwang Party and no longer fought alone.

The road ahead, which was originally shrouded in thick fog, suddenly became clear!

Because he was so happy, he always went to drink a few glasses of good wine every night these days.

——Mr. Takeichi is an extraordinary talent.

——The Tosa Kinnobu Party is full of talented people.

——With our internal and external cooperation, the Shinsengumi will be finished sooner or later!

Thinking of this, Tori Ikeda couldn't help but let out a triumphant chuckle.

call!

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind hit him, making him unable to open his eyes.

At this moment, a gentle female voice came from behind:

"Sir, you lost your things."

Tortaro Ikeda, who had drunk a lot of wine and was not so clear-headed, turned his head and looked back without any suspicion.

A flash of bright red burst into his eyes.

Then... there is no more.

"Ugh!"

Tortaro Ikeda felt something hit his belly.

Before he could see the true appearance of this "red" thing clearly, and before he could even scream, he passed out...
