The author who was obsessed with money wanted to make a few more cents.

So he turned on the anti-theft machine.

Seeing that Red Heart was interested in what he said, Chikage Fuuma suddenly kept him in suspense.

It was as if he wanted to take revenge for the 'enmity' of being defeated by him just now. He regained his original arrogant and bossy attitude, as if saying, 'If you don't invite me into the house, then treat me well.

Don't think that you can get anything out of me.

"Chikage Fuuma!

You — haven't you been beaten enough?

Believe it or not, I'll … "

"Qing Guang, calm down.

Master Chikage Fuuma, if you don't mind our small and shabby place,

If you think we're not good enough … Then, please. "

Jiazhou Qingguang, who was angered by Chikage Fuuma's arrogant attitude, was about to roll up his sleeves and fight with him again.

He was comforted by Chixin Chong Guang.

Red Heart, who had considered the pros and cons, secretly won the approval of Hijikata Toshizo and the others through his eyes. He made the decision to let Chikage Fuuma and the others stay.

"Brother Red Heart,

I don't know if that guy is reliable or not. Could the information he gave us be false?

Why did you let him stay?

Can't we investigate it ourselves? "

Jiazhou Qingguang, who disliked Chikage Fuuma very much, looked at Chikage Fuuma, who was walking leisurely in front of him.

He was slightly behind by half a step.

He couldn't help but complain to Red Heart.

"Of course I know what you're talking about, but it's rare for information to come to me.

How could I have the nerve to turn him away?

Even if he wants to lie, he has to lie to us and Mr. Yamanami and Mr. Toshizo first.

You have to trust Mr. Yamanami and the others' judgment.

And … "

"And what?"

"And we can easily suppress him, can't we?

If he behaved himself and didn't cause any trouble,

Naturally, we have to be polite to him.

After all, we'll be temporary partners. But if he's dishonest and wants to play some tricks … then don't blame me for using force to force him to tell the truth … "

After hearing Red Heart's words, Jiazhou Qingguang couldn't help but light a candle for Chikage Fuuma in his heart, even though he still didn't like him very much. The title of Red Heart's Demon King … was not given randomly. If Chikage Fuuma wanted to play mind games with him, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

"Alright, now Chikage Fuuma, you don't mind telling us what the deal is, right?"

The group of people sat down in the meeting room. After drinking some tea to quench their thirst, Hijikata Toshizo put down the teacup in his hand and looked coldly at Chikage Fuuma, who was leisurely sitting opposite him.

"What's the hurry, really …"

"Master Chikage Fuuma … it's not a good thing to go back on your words."

"Ahem, in that case, I'll get straight to the point."

Chikage Fuuma, who originally wanted to ignore Hijikata Toshizo and the others, saw Red Heart smiling and wiping his blade with a threatening tone. He very sensibly put down the teacup in his hand and sat up straight. He was ready to seriously deal with this meeting with the Shinsengumi. After all, he couldn't beat Red Heart.

"Before we begin the exchange of information, I need to confirm something with everyone in the Shinsengumi. You … probably don't wish for the fake item … or as you call it, the Russian item to continue existing in this world, right?"

"Of course, even if we want to have more power, we're not willing to become like Rakshasa, who lost their minds and only think about killing.

The existence of Rakshasa will only worsen the unrest and unrest in Kyoto and this country. We, the Shinsengumi, have the obligation to eradicate them all. "

At present, they weren't facing any desperate situation where they had to give up their reason and dignity to become Rakshasa. There were also no situations where their companions were seriously injured and had to drink Huan Ruo Shui to have a chance of survival. Therefore, Hijikata Toshizo and the others still held a negative attitude towards Huan Ruo Shui and Rakshasa.

"That's for the best. After all, I don't want to give you the information. After all, it wasn't easy to get rid of those disgusting fake things, only for you to start making fake things here. Even if I have to put my life on the line, for the dignity and pride of the Ghost Clan, I will definitely eradicate all of you."

After receiving a positive answer from Hijikata Toshizo, Chikage Fuuma's expression relaxed a lot. Although he still looked down on humans, Chikage Fuuma still had some understanding of Hijikata Toshizo and the others. Since they had already said so, although he couldn't guarantee it with 100% certainty, the possibility of them going back on their words was not high.

In case the Shinsengumi went against today's words for various reasons and made fake things again, the worst case scenario was to meet them on the battlefield. Although their strength wasn't as strong as Red Heart, they couldn't always stay together. As long as they were alone … For the dignity and pride of the Ghost Clan, even if he had to use his usual shameless assassination methods, Chikage Fuuma wouldn't hesitate.

"Then … Young Master Chikage Fuuma, can you tell us the information now?"

"There's no hurry. After all, I can't give you the information for free. Even if I'm willing to give it to you for free, do you dare to believe me?"

"Indeed, then what are your conditions?"

Hijikata Toshizo heard this and thought carefully. He felt that Chikage Fuuma was right. Instead of being suspicious when the time came, it was better to be open and clear now. It would be more reassuring.

"My request is very simple. You are responsible for cleaning up those fake things and the people who made them. Destroy that Huan Ruo Shui as well. How about it?"

"This … That's impossible."

Hijikata Toshizo hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head. "Although we don't like the existence of Rakshasa, the Huan Ruo Shui was developed under the orders of the Shogunate. In any case, our Shinsengumi works for the Shogunate. It's absolutely impossible for us to do anything for the Shogunate. Please go back."

"Don't worry. What I mean is that you eliminate those who know how to make Huan Ruo Shui. As for the Shogunate … You don't have to worry. We have our own decisions. After all, we can barely be considered as Samoan people. Although we don't like the guys in the previous group, we still have to consider the interests of the Samoan."

"If what you said is true, then your conditions are only those just now and won't change. Then … this deal, we agree to it."

"Very good, very straightforward. As expected of the vice leader of the Shinsengumi. Then … Happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation."

After reaching a consensus with the members of the Shinsengumi, Chikage Fuuma did not keep them in suspense. He very readily handed over all the information about Rakshasa to Hijikata Toshizo and left with his subordinates.

The Shinsengumi members looked at the information on the table and looked at each other.

"A Sui … Do you think … the information given by Chikage Fuuma … is reliable?"

Even though it was a deal, Kondo Isami still doubted the credibility of the information he gave because of Senkaku Fuuma's appearance. Kondo Isami didn't have a good impression of him.

"I don't think so. Although I haven't known him for a long time, judging from his behavior and tone of voice, he is a very proud guy who disdains to play tricks, let alone tampering with the information. So I personally think he is quite credible. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that his acting skills are very good and he can deceive all of us. Shannan, what do you think?"

"My thoughts are the same as yours. And whether it is from Chikage Fuuma or his two ghost subordinates, the ghost race is a race with a very strong mentality. Their attitude towards the strong is more inclined to befriend and follow, rather than using tricks to plot against them. So, in the case that Chong Guang defeated their leader, Chikage Fuuma, I think it is worth a try to take a little risk and try to trust the information given by them."

After pondering for a moment, Keisuke Yamanami pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and gave a similar opinion to Hijikata Toshizo. He perfectly ignored Red Heart, who was staring at him with sparkling eyes after hearing his praise.

Chishin Chongguang didn't care about Shannan Keisuke's obvious disregard. After all, Shannan Keisuke was his former master. He knew Shannan Keisuke's character very well. Without looking at his red ears covered by his hair, Chishin Chongguang knew that Shannan Keisuke was embarrassed because of his blazing eyes. It wasn't that Shannan Keisuke didn't like him. Seeing this scene, Chishin Chongguang stared at Shannan Keisuke even more.

"And look at the information they gave. It's the same as what Qing Guang and Yamato said before. They all mentioned that Ikedaya is very suspicious. Although we can't make a judgment easily, this part of the information should be credible. After all, it's basically the same as what Qing Guang gave. Even if you don't trust Chikage Fuuma, at least Qing Guang is very trustworthy, right?"

Okita Sōji casually flipped through the information on the table. She put her hands on her cheeks and winked at the two cute swords. She smiled and agreed with Hijikata Toshizo and Keisuke Yamanami's opinion.

"Well … Since A Sui, Yamanami, and Director said so, then we'll believe him this time.

Everything should be done sooner rather than later. Asui, pass down the order and tell the troops to get ready. Tonight, I'll lead a team to Ikedaya and meet those guys who harbor ill intentions toward the shogunate. As for the Shikoya mentioned in the intelligence … Asui, I'll have to trouble you to take some troops to have a look. "

"I understand."
