"Can't?" That was the old Isao Kondo. He looked at Hijikata. "Do you understand how terrifying Katsura is? Or perhaps..."
"Terrifying?" Toshiro Hijikata fell into thought.
"Yeah..." Isao Kondo nodded. "Katsura really is terrifying. If not for Sogo..."
"Sogo?"
"The gorilla knows?"
"..." No one knew what the gorilla had said to Hijikata. They only knew that from then on, Hijikata became the Kondo Group's hidden decision-maker, while Katsura Kotaro formed an unbreakable bond with the Kondo Group. Likewise, no one knew that the swordsmanship Hijikata used had not been taught by Isao Kondo.
