Tokyo Swordmaster Online Dealer

"Aren't you going to ask me why I am so indifferent to the deaths of these people?"

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"Because... I've seen too much!"

Miyakawa Isamu's expression became serious and he subconsciously straightened his back. He looked like an ancient sword that had experienced many vicissitudes of life, paranoid, old, and full of decay, but still showing its edge.

"When I was young, I carried a sword everywhere, slaying all the evil I encountered. I was full of vigor and pride, claiming to be righteous and having a glorious life."

"At that time, I had just joined the Shinsengumi. When it came to swordsmanship, I was unrivaled among my peers. I slew demons and exorcised countless monsters, and was considered the best among the Mibu Wolves."

“I am a little bit arrogant, but I don’t think my arrogance is wrong.”

"Isn't the sword used to enforce justice?"

"Until one day, when I was on patrol, I happened to see a superhuman trying to molest a little girl who had just entered junior high school."

"In that era, there were many bastards like this. I know that guy. He's a playboy. He was lucky enough to have a connection with the Heroic Spirit. He relied on his father who had some power and often acted lawless. I've been unhappy with him for a long time."

"I will hit him. How can I let him be so presumptuous? I will just cut his tendons and kick his penis off. This man is useless."

"At that time, I was just like you. I hated evil and wanted to uphold justice for anyone I saw. I couldn't tolerate any injustice."

Uesugi Kiyoshi remained silent, but Toufumi Maki beside him was interested in this story.

She asked softly, ".And then?"

"Then?"

Miyakawa Isamu chuckled a few times.

"I am the supernova swordsman of the Shinsengumi, and a strong candidate for the future leader of the Shinsengumi. That dandy old man is just a high-ranking government official. To ordinary people, he is indeed a mountain, but even if he has a hundred guts, he would not dare to seek revenge on me."

"But, they can play dirty."

"Not long after that, a rare large-scale gathering of mystics broke out in Tokyo's Bunkyo district, accompanied by a vicious ritual activity. That was my jurisdiction."

"I could have arrived in time to prevent the disaster."

"But I was tripped up by that dandy old man. He bribed the operator in my area and slowed down the flow of information by five minutes."

"In just five minutes, do you know how many people died?"

"After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, the incarnations of the ghosts and gods descended. A bloodbath destroyed a city block and a half, and countless mortals were killed and injured. It took the government and the supernatural organizations countless means and efforts just to suppress the incident afterwards."

"The number of people who became sacrifices, men, women, young and old, totaled more than 700 people."

"Three thousand people were killed in the battle."

"It all started because I offended a high-ranking official. His son committed a crime and I punished him mercilessly. Because of this, he wanted to retaliate against me, make me commit a crime, suspend me from my job, and ruin my reputation."

"That's why."

“Thousands of people died.”

"At that moment, I finally understood that sometimes it is difficult for people to understand each other. What you think is more important than Mount Tai may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others. It is very difficult to reach a consensus."

"After that, I was held accountable, dismissed from my post and exiled. I went from being a supernova to a sinner, but I don't care."

"I sneaked into the house of that high-ranking official at night, and personally killed his son who was lingering on in bed. I also hung up his father and made him suffer all the tortures I could inflict."

"He finally begged me to kill him, but so what?"

“Can the dead come back?”

“Who is responsible for the deaths of those people?”

"I gradually realized that having a high-sounding sense of justice is useless."

"To save people, a sword alone is not enough."

"I slowly restrained my temper and climbed up the system step by step. I greeted my superiors with a smile, was humble and polite to my colleagues, and was caring and supportive of my subordinates. It took me nearly 20 years to go from a sinner to the head of the Shinsengumi."

"Now, I lead hundreds of Shinsengumi swordsmen to guard Kyoto. I can't say that I have made great contributions, but at least I can keep the area safe. What's wrong with that?"

"I know that Songyuan Tadayoshi is greedy for money and is hostile to other supernatural organizations. He is arrogant and looks down on them. But he is very powerful in the Fourth Division and keeps his word. He is brave and never backs down when fighting against demons and gods. How many lives has he saved and how many demons and gods has he killed over the years?"

"Can I dismiss him or kill him just because he accepted some bribes? How can the Shinsengumi do its job without a squad?"

"You asked me if I knew about the anomaly here? I know."

"Two weeks ago, I felt something was wrong around here, and sure enough, not long after, your president was attacked."

"But you have to understand, this is where, this is Shinkyogoku, the largest shopping street in Kyoto, no doubt about it!"

"Not to mention that this is the jurisdiction of Songyuan Zhongli, and it is against the rules for me to interfere without permission. Even if I come here to quell the disaster of ghosts and gods, do you know how serious the consequences may be?"

"You were lucky today. You encountered a corrupted superhuman and quickly subdued him. But have you ever thought about what hidden tricks he might have?"

"What if he can summon ghosts and gods? What if he has the means of large-scale destruction? What if Shinkyogoku is destroyed by him?"

“Who will take responsibility for this?”

"you?"

"You dare to act without being fully prepared? Is your collection association so rough in its work?"

"Unruly little brat. Humph!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi clenched his fists, looking like he wanted to hit someone, but in the end he did not do so. The look he gave Miyagawa Isami was full of pity.

"So, this is why you became like this?"

“Boring, uninteresting, shameless.”

"You can say such things with such confidence. Thank you for your hard work, General Miyakawa."

"Haha. Hahaha."

Uesugi Seiichi raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as swords.

"Think about it carefully. For the sake of so-called superficial peace, you can turn a blind eye and allow a small number of people to sacrifice in order to achieve a stable life for more people—"

"What is the fundamental difference between you and the official who concealed intelligence and killed thousands of people in order to avenge his son?"

"At the same time, you are just sacrificing others for some people. Why do you have to make yourself sound so noble?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi saw that Toufu Maki seemed to be deep in thought, and fearing that this nominal disciple would get stuck in a rut, he patted her shoulder and shook his head.

"Maki, I haven't taught you swordsmanship for long. Although I am your teacher, I haven't told you much about how to behave."

"You're not unreasonable. I always feel that values ​​and outlooks can't be imposed on others. For example, Chief Miyakawa thinks he did nothing wrong, but I think he's a complete jerk."

"But there are some things I can't help but say."

"Remember this."

"It's nonsense to say that everyone is equal. There is no real fairness in this world."

"People are born with different statuses. A lady from a famous family and an orphan who grew up alone will be seen differently by everyone."

After hearing this, Touwen Maki looked subconsciously at Xingzi not far away, pursed her lips a little aggrieved, lowered her head, and thought of something else at an inappropriate time.

Sometimes, a lady from a famous family may not be as good as a girl from a humble family.

She thought so.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't care about that.

He was talking to Touwen Maki, but his eyes were on Miyagawa Isamu, and every word he said was powerful.

"Even so, no one in this world deserves to be sacrificed for another person against their will."

"As for me, I also come from a humble background, so I am selfish and my thoughts and morals are not noble."

"I think everyone, regardless of their background, at least has the right to choose to live."

"So the monster eats people, and I'm very angry."

"Miyagawa Yong, what you did is no different from a demon?"

"Aren't they both cannibals? It's just that one is naked, and the other is disguised as righteous."

"When faced with the trolley problem, shouldn't we do everything we can to save everyone, even if they die under the tracks, instead of pulling the gates based on our own will and letting some people die like that?"

This is what the Lord of a Hundred Demons did, and this is also Uesugi Kiyoshi's philosophy. Call him naive or stubborn, he is extremely disgusted with this kind of "abandonment".

Maybe it’s because I’ve lost too much.

"."

"I'll ask you one last time."

"So, for the sake of the safety of your Fourth Division, and to prevent the possibility of Xinjing falling into riots, those who died here because of your dereliction of duty, oh no, because of your deliberate indulgence, are in your eyes a [small number] of innocent souls."

"Should they die?"

Miyakawa Isamu was silent for three seconds, then suddenly looked up with deep obsession in his eyes.

How easy is it to correct a person's deep-rooted ideas that have been formed over decades?

He nodded firmly.

"A worthy death!"

The roar that came from his throat and came from the bottom of his heart made Uesugi Kiyoshi stunned for a moment.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Sakura Okita standing beside him. Her eyes were filled with enthusiasm for her master, just like a believer’s enthusiasm for God.

It seems that the master and disciple are of the same kind, or it can be said that this seemingly young girl was instilled with this kind of thinking by Miyakawa Isamu since she was a child.

Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but felt that it would be a waste of words to say anything.

He sighed and slowly opened his clenched fists.

Guiqi responded to his call and jumped into his palm.

"Sure enough, if you don't agree, there's no point in talking."

"To prevent more people from dying."

"I'd better kill you."

Miyakawa Isamu just frowned slightly, with no expression on his face.
