If You Didn't Care About Someone, Why Would You Be Angry That They Failed to Live Up to Expectations?

Even a wrathful Vajra had eyes blazing with anger; even a Buddha could lose his temper, let alone the Demon Vice-Chief. It wasn't that Toshiro Hijikata didn't want to comfort the gorilla—he was simply far too exhausted today. All these troublesome matters had piled up at once... It was already impressive that he hadn't kept thinking about destroying everything!

Hijikata had shown considerable self-restraint already. And now he was supposed to comfort Isao Kondo, that hentai gorilla? Damn it, who was going to comfort him?!

This made Isao Kondo incredibly emotional. The tears of "gratitude" in his eyes surged forth—Fourteen had actually called him a gorilla... Though Fourteen had corrected himself afterward, Kondo was no fool. How could he not tell that Fourteen had wanted to call him a great ape just then?

It would have been one thing if Katsura did it. After all, that guy had only recently come to the dojo as a specially appointed instructor—rivals were natural enemies, and the two of them had once been competitors.

As a competitor, before Katsura became a specially appointed instructor at their dojo, he had always called him a great ape right to his face. Now that he had changed it to "commander," how could Isao Kondo not be satisfied?

Hijikata was different. Fourteen used to respect him so much, but now... Fortunately, Toshiro Hijikata had no idea just how aggrieved Isao Kondo felt at that moment. Otherwise, he definitely would have—torn that gorilla apart with his insults!

Why was it that when Katsura accidentally used the wrong form of address, Kondo was content the moment he corrected it, but when it came to him, he became aggrieved instead?

Wasn't that unreasonable? Still, if he had asked, Sogo would definitely have told him—what was wrong with that?

Absolutely nothing!
