Tokyo Sword Saint Online Dealing

"Punish the wicked and eliminate evil!"

He did not defend himself. If the monk's one-sided testimony was not enough to convict Matsubara Tadari, then the preemptive framing, the hasty attempt to silence him, and the murderous and panicked look in his eyes were enough to sentence Uesugi Kiyoshi to death.

This man's death was not unjust.

Uesugi Kiyoshi took a deep breath, his expression slightly composed, like the calm before a storm.

His eyes were like still water as he looked at Miyagawa Isamu, feeling only a sense of sorrow.

With so many people dead, what is the Shinsengumi commander in front of me saying?

We are talking about rules and reason.

He was bothered by the fact that he had killed his fourth captain, he was bothered by the fact that he had embarrassed the Shinsengumi, and he was bothered by the fact that he had meddled.

He didn't care about the lives of these innocent people.

When Uesugi Kiyoshi first met Miyagawa Isamu, he thought that although he was rigid, he might be a good policeman.

In retrospect, this was an utterly absurd and utterly erroneous statement.

He is a good bureaucrat.

He reached out and grabbed Miyagawa Isamu's collar.

Perhaps because he didn't see any killing intent in those eyes, Miyagawa Isamu didn't retaliate.

Uesugi Kiyoshi simply dragged him along, his steps heavy, to a corner of the wall.

Kyoko was sweating profusely as she supported a lifeless corpse, looking somewhat haggard.

Uesugi Kiyoshi, enraged, ignored all of this.

He pointed at Shiina Kikyo's half-covered face, his gaze like a sharp sword, piercing Miyagawa Isamu's heart.

"You're trying to reason with me?"

"Okay, I'll reason with you."

“Her name is Shiina Kikyo. She is twenty years old this year. She didn’t even finish high school before she started working. She works four jobs a day, nearly twenty hours a day. Even I think it’s cruel.”

“She had no choice but to do it because she had debts her parents had signed to pay off and a younger sister to support.”

"She was living a life worse than death, struggling to survive."

“She is just one of the ordinary people under your jurisdiction, and she may not even be the worst off.”

"She died here today."

"Maybe she's about to pay off her debts, maybe she'll soon have a new life. She wants to watch her sister grow up, and she wants to have an easier life."

"All the beautiful wishes came to an abrupt end here."

"She's dead, killed by the superhumans who have taken up residence here."

"Her world collapsed, and her sister's world collapsed too."

"what about you?"

"Officer Miyagawa!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi suddenly emphasized the word "police officer," as if to remind Miyagawa Isamu of his identity.

"You didn't even glance at her. Because she's just an insignificant, lonely girl?"

"So, she died in vain?"

"Is this the rule of the Shinsengumi?"

"What kind of bullshit rules are these?!"

"She just wanted to live, what did she do wrong?!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi roared. His gaze grew even colder.

"I will only ask you one question. If you can answer it with a clear conscience, I will kowtow to you and admit my mistake, and I will let you do whatever you want with me."

"I'm asking you, are you aware of the strange things happening at this shop? Your captain, Songyuan, might be colluding with that monk, accepting bribes and giving him special treatment. Have you noticed anything?"

"There might be innocent victims here, and you really have no idea?!"

"If you, the commander of the Shinsengumi, are really this stupid, then it is only right that these people die."

"After all, the Shinsengumi you lead is probably a bunch of useless good-for-nothings, and I don't need to place any hope in them."

Miyagawa Isamu's lips trembled slightly, a rarity in his manner, and his gaze darted away.

He wasn't completely unaware, but the commander of the Shinsengumi really wasn't that free.

The power struggles among superhumans in Kyoto are far more intense than in Tokyo. The Shinsengumi has made countless enemies, and with all the demons and spirits causing trouble in the open, he has no time to care about these trivial matters.

It's even less likely that they would thoroughly investigate and punish their capable subordinates over such a trivial matter. If they did that, the entire Fourth Division would fall apart. If a division falls apart, wouldn't those Onmyoji laugh their heads off?

As the leader of the Shinsengumi, there was nothing he could do.

But he simply couldn't bring himself to lie without a clear conscience.

This expression was exactly what Uesugi Kiyoshi had expected.

"Do you deserve this official position you're in?"

"I heard the Shinsengumi are part of the police system—do you really know what the duties of a police officer are?"

"It's about eliminating evil and maintaining order!"

"If you stand by and do nothing, you are an accomplice to the perpetrator!"

"Ha, when you were learning swordsmanship, didn't your master teach you the principles of being a swordsman?"

"How dare someone like you be my master's enemy?"

“When my mentor accepted me as his disciple, he gave me earnest instruction.”

He said that cultivating swordsmanship is cultivating one's will, and one must nurture the righteous spirit within one's heart.

"A sword that oppresses the weak is meaningless; protection is the true essence of swordsmanship."

"To punish evil and protect the people is our inescapable duty as swordsmen!"

“You are not worthy to wield a sword, Miyagawa Isamu.”

"You are the same as your Fourth Division Captain."

"They are all murderers."

"They all deserve to die!"

Chapter 335 The War Begins, Choice

Miyagawa Isamu was speechless.

He was indeed in the wrong. In fact, many extraordinary individuals who have entered the realm of the extraordinary have become somewhat indifferent to the lives of mortals.

In fact, this is also how many capitalists see it.

That's just how society is. If a sensitive person like Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't have some special skills, he would probably have met a terrible end.

Being insulted so openly, Miyagawa Yu was showing signs of becoming angry and embarrassed.

He reached out and brushed away Uesugi Kiyoshi's hand that was gripping his collar, his face stern.

"It's not your place, a nobody, to comment or interfere with what the Shinsengumi does."

"What do you know?"

"The Fourth Division fights against extremely dangerous demons every month, achieving numerous victories. Every day, members of the Shinsengumi are injured and bleed for this city. Did you even know that?!"

No one is perfect; there will always be sacrifices! That's unavoidable!

"Calling you naive is no exaggeration!"

"You actually fit in well with the idealistic kids from the Collectors' Association—have you been assimilated by them?"

"If you don't want to give up on anyone, you won't be able to save anyone in the end. Don't you understand this principle?!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi had had enough of these high-sounding words.

"Playing the lute to a cow is a waste of breath."

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I don't care whose territory this is. I've taken over this matter. If you dare to interfere, I dare to chop off your outstretched hand."

"Do you understand?"

Miyagawa Isamu gritted his teeth, his anger ignited by the outrageous tone.

Today, a member of the Shinsengumi died, which was a disgrace. He was also warned not to interfere in supernatural events in his own territory. If he agrees to this, how will Mibu Wolf ever be able to hold his head high in Kyoto again?

"."

"I should have killed you with one sword back then."

For the first time, a murderous glint appeared in Miyagawa Isamu's eyes.

Instead of being alarmed, Uesugi Kiyoshi laughed. He chuckled a few times, completely unconcerned about the growing murderous aura.

"What you're saying... it's not too late for you to kill me now!"

Tensions were high, and they were locked in a fierce confrontation.

Miyagawa Isamu's hand also rested on the hilt of the sword.

"So you're saying you're going to represent the Collectors' Association and go to war against the Shinsengumi?"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not to be outdone.

He tightened his grip on Onikiri's hand, his smile undiminished, growing even more arrogant.

"What's wrong with fighting a war against a bunch of trash like you?"

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from both sides, Narumi Shingo, who had been watching the scene with narrowed eyes, straightened up slightly and took a few steps forward.

Uesugi Kiyoshi shook his head and turned to Narumi Shingo, saying, "I don't need you. You go and guard the gate. Don't let anyone escape."

"I'll play with them."

"I won't be able to quell my anger until I teach these police officers a lesson."
