"Um..." Faced with Hijikata and Sogo, who were talking animatedly and arguing with each other, Kotaro Katsura felt somewhat awkward. "Sogo, Hijikata, could I ask what exactly you two are arguing about? Well, even if what's flowing out of me right now is tomato juice that smells like blood..." Don't just ignore him outright!
But before he could finish, Sogo Doma turned to him and said, "What? Don't tell me, Katsura Kotaro, you're worried you didn't bring enough tomato juice with you?"
"..." Toshiro Hijikata finally realized it—he had clearly been mocking that idiot Katsura, so how had it suddenly turned into Sogo arguing with him over whether Katsura's true form was his hair? That brat was way too good at derailing the conversation. And as for the tomato juice... "Are you sure that's tomato juice? If you are, then Katsura, stand properly already!"
"Cough, cough..." Kotaro Katsura coughed twice again, his face looking even paler. "Traitor Hijikata, don't you think I'm standing steadily enough?" Everyone: "..." Hadn't he never stood up in the first place?!
?Kotaro Katsura: orz
"Ugh..." Just as Hijikata and Sogo were about to say something, the gorilla who had been frightened unconscious by Otae suddenly let out a groan. Perhaps the stimulation from the two explosions had awakened Isao Kondo from his faint, and he muttered, "Where is this? Am I still alive?" Toshiro Hijikata: "..." Boss Kondo was finally awake?
This was just too... miserable. There was another troublesome guy to deal with. He suddenly felt that he was probably going to lose a lot more hair today.
Fortunately, Sogo Doma was there to share his burden. "Gorilla Curator, welcome to hell..." Toshiro Hijikata: "..." No, that was wrong. He should say that if Sogo weren't here, perhaps he wouldn't lose so much hair!
