No wonder Tojo had been so terrified. If he had merely lost a sparring match, he might still have had the confidence to surpass him. But the gap in the food chain was simply a dimensionality-crushing blow!
Not to mention, Hijikata had at least survived all kinds of assassination attempts by Sogo. If he had not possessed some skill, his ashes would have gone cold years ago... How could Tojo not surrender from the heart?
All he could say was, "Can't afford to provoke him, rbq..." He even went crazy praising Hijikata. It could not be helped—since he could not beat the other guy, surrendering from the heart before a strong person was better than doing so before a weak one, right?
And Tojo, an enemy who had come to provoke them, had been effortlessly subdued by Vice Commander Hijikata. How could the members not be excited?
Especially after Hijikata said, "Actually, I totally hate mayonnaise..." The members practically enshrined it as truth. Thinking about it, it was not hard to understand. No matter how much the vice commander liked mayonnaise, he could not possibly eat it every meal, right?
He even mixed mayonnaise with rice. No matter how one looked at that Cooking, it was dark cooking—the kind even dogs would not eat. So there was only one truth: the vice commander used this method to temper his spirit. He was a true man!
Back in the present, after hearing the members' account, Sogo Doma fell silent for quite a while. "..." Though he did not know what had happened before, judging from the contest they described, could these idiots not see that Hijikata simply refused to admit defeat?
Tempering his spirit and all that—he did not remember teaching Hijikata anything like that, and neither had the gorilla! No,
