"But, I am not without grudges against you, the Shinsengumi."

"A few days ago, I led people to do something to defeat ghosts and gods. How can that be considered a bad thing?"

"Right near this nightclub, I was ambushed by an unknown supernatural being—yes, that monk."

When Akutagawa Ryunosuke saw the monk who was nailed to the wall by Uesugi Kiyoshi, whose life or death was unknown, his expression was somewhat relieved and he felt relieved.

"If I remember correctly, there were more than a dozen supernatural organizations, big and small, in the Shinsengumi, Heian-kyō, and Sakura, and they had made an alliance."

"No matter what grudges the two sides have, they must form a united front when facing ghosts and gods, and the fallen extraordinary people who associate with ghosts and gods."

"Anyone who violates this order will be treated as a common enemy of everyone - is this true?!"

Miyakawa Isamu nodded with an ambiguous expression, but did not refute.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke laughed, clapped his cane, and his tone became gloomy.

"So, Chief Miyakawa, could you explain this to me?"

"That night a few days ago, when I was attacked on the road near here, I asked the Shinsengumi for help. Why didn't they respond?"

"Isn't this your territory? Aren't the rules you follow here yours?"

"I immediately sent a text message to the Shinsengumi 4th Division guarding this place for help. Guess what Captain Matsubara said in response?"

"He said that without the commander-in-chief's order, the Shinsengumi cannot go out on their own."

"I have a good temper. I explained the current situation to him and asked him to contact our General Miyakawa. I believe you will agree to send troops to support us."

"Haha, hahahaha, guess what Captain Songyuan said to me?"

"Without General Miyakawa's contact information, we can only follow the Shinsengumi's reporting process. They told me to wait for news, and before they make a statement, they are not allowed to use supernatural powers in the Shinsengumi's territory, and they told us to leave the scene immediately."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's laughter became creepy and his expression became a little neurotic.

"I say, Miyakawa Yong, are all the people you employ such bastards?"

"We were attacked, not playing house!"

"It would be fine if you don't support us, but you are not allowed to use your supernatural powers. Leave the scene immediately. Do you want us to be killed or flee in panic?"

"Is this how the Shinsengumi does things?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke curled his lips grimly and pointed at the virtual image in the air.

"Director Miyakawa, are you a little confused as to why a dozen extraordinary swordsmen from Tokyo could be easily subdued by the association?"

"I'll tell you, Kudo tricked the door open. They had no defense against us."

"Do you know why there is no defense?"

"Seven months ago, the Tokyo Shinsengumi's Ninth Division was hunting down an alien evil god, but was counterattacked by the evil god's followers and was trapped in a dream mirror. I personally led the team and used the Dreamweaver Network to tear open the cracks in the dream mirror. The three collectors came out in full force, leading almost all the investigators, and wiped out the remnants of the evil god's followers, took in the evil god's remnants, and saved the dozen lives of your Ninth Division!"

"Could I have done the same as you did, ignored everything, waited for the person to die, and then picked up the bargain?"

"I can do that."

"I didn't do that."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke pointed his black jade cane diagonally at Miyagawa Isamu's forehead, his eyes widened, and every word he said was as sharp as a knife.

“Because I am a [naive idealist].”

"Because our association's creed is to [protect humanity and this world, and eliminate and contain all threats]."

"Because I think that the members of the Shinsengumi are also companions in the battle against demons and gods, and are swordsmen worthy of respect!"

"All the investigators were injured at the time, and several researchers from Dreamweaver Network who were responsible for opening the channel were severely traumatized and became crazy, but we saved a lot of lives in the end."

"I think it's worth it. No matter how snobbish or bureaucratic I am, this is also the original intention of establishing the Collectors Association."

"I have done many things in the past few years, some good, some bad, some right, some wrong, but I can pat my chest and say that I have a clear conscience."

"."

"So your Ninth Division had no defense against Kudo at all, and was easily ambushed and controlled."

"Miyagawa Isamu."

"I only ask you one thing, for the innocent souls who died tragically here, and for the agents of our association who died in that attack."

"Can you say the words 'clear conscience'?!"

The look in Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes when he looked at Akutagawa Ryunosuke changed a lot.

He really didn't expect that Akutagawa Ryunosuke could say such a thing.

He is lucky. For the sake of his few words, let's keep those teeth for him.

Miyakawa Isamu clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, and was unable to speak.

He was speechless.

Because what Akutagawa Ryunosuke said was not false.

The Shinsengumi is a long-established organization. It is indeed more powerful than the Collectibles Association and has strong backing.

And precisely because of this backing, Miyagawa Isami's degree of freedom as a leader is actually not as high as Akutagawa Ryunosuke's.

To put it bluntly, the four words "court lackeys" are really very appropriate.

Deep down in his heart, he may want to protect the country and keep the peace.

But in reality, the opposite happened.

There is always a priority between the orders from above and the life and death of mortals.

Even though he had heard rumors about what Matsubara Tadayoshi had done, he felt that something was not right, but he did not investigate further.

He didn't want to, didn't dare, and couldn't.

The Shinsengumi is not without enemies. The situation in Kyoto is different from that in Tokyo. It is extremely tense and a single move can affect the entire body. If he deals with a captain at this time, the chain reaction caused will be something he cannot afford.

For a moment, he really admired Uesugi Kiyoshi and Akutagawa Ryunosuke on the opposite side.

Because he absolutely could not say the words "clear conscience".

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a few seconds.

He adjusted his mentality very familiarly, and when he opened his eyes again, there was already indifference in Miyakawa Isami's eyes.

"I said, I won't pursue Song Yuan's death. He didn't follow the rules, and his death was in vain. He deserved it."

"Now, release the people from the Ninth Division and leave here."

"I'll just pretend you guys haven't been here."

The corner of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's mouth tilted, and the malice in his smile surged out unbridled.

Just as he was about to say something, Uesugi Kiyoshi behind him pressed his shoulder.

Turning around, he met Uesugi Kiyoshi's clear eyes.

"Okay, there's no need to resort to such despicable means."

"Not to that extent."

"We must have a bottom line. We don't need to use any tricks to deal with ghosts and gods. When we face our own kind, even if they are worthless, we will not go along with them."

"It's not worth it."

"Yuichi, let him go."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke frowned, seeming to be very confused about what Uesugi Kiyoshi said.

But Kudo Yuichi over there didn't seem surprised at all.

He grinned and snapped his fingers.

"That's why you would say that. That's just who you are, Qing."

"I understand. I won't touch them. Just go for it."

"Don't make me go for nothing so late at night. Don't lose."

Kudo Yuichi waved his hand in a very exaggerated way, made a farewell gesture, and decisively hung up the phone.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke shrugged and took a deep breath as if he had a toothache.

"What are you doing, brother? I finally got this opportunity and I have the upper hand!"

"This is Tokyo. There are at least five Shinsengumi squads stationed here. I didn't bring many people with me. Why should I let go of the weak spot that I already have in my hands?"

"It's obviously you who caused the conflict with them, okay?!"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke's tone sounded confused and frustrated, as if his good intentions had gone to waste.

Uesugi Kiyoshi just smiled.

"No need to bother."

"I appreciate the kindness, but I'm not at the point where I have to threaten the lives of others to force them to make concessions."

"Give way."

Gently pushing Akutagawa Ryunosuke away, Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped forward and faced Miyagawa Isami.

"We have said everything, the cause and effect are clear, and we know right from wrong. We have different standpoints, so we cannot understand each other."

"Keep it simple, Miyakawa Isamu."

"We solve the problem using the swordsman's method."

"Don't you still have a grudge against my master?"

"As Master's disciple, I will take care of him and you together."

"You and the scumbags behind you come on."

"The one who stands at the end is the one who makes the most sense, and the one who lies down should obediently swallow the blood and bitterness."

"what"

He sighed, and raised the Ghost Sword upside down, with a mirage faintly visible in the edge.

"I'm not threatening you, I really want to kill you."

"Miyagawa Isamu."
