Chapter 198: Determination
Kumoi Gyokaku, as a retainer of the Kasumioji family, he had lived for many years. It's also due to his relationship with the Kasumioji family that he had some understanding of the strength possessed by the Head-captain Yamamoto Genryusai, so he advised Amagai to be careful.
Of course, it doesn't matter to him whether Amagai was dead or not. What he really cared about is whether he can get rid of Rurichiyo and be regarded as the real master of the Kasumioji family.
Even if Amagai really wanted to challenge the head-captain and seek death, he would have to wait until he became the master of Kasumioji family.
Amagai didn't care about Kumoi Gyokaku's advice at all.
After learning the real truth and some more details from Kumoi Gyokaku's mouth, he had a surging killing intent in his heart, wanting to kill Kumoi Gyokaku in front of him right then and there, but in the end, he restrained himself forcefully.
After all, this was just Kumoi Gyokaku's one-sided statement. Even though it had no loopholes and may be the whole reality of that incident, but Amagai wanted to hear what the head-captain had to say about it, and he could reach to an answer only after he obtained the stories of the two sides of the same incident.
Immediately after that, he left Kumoi Gyokaku.
Kumoi Gyokaku was a little confused as he couldn't figure it out why did Amagai came to him at late night just to ask such an unknown and sudden question?
Back to the Fifth Division.
There was still some time before dawn, but Amagai couldn't sleep in any way.
Kumoi Gyokaku's words echoed in his ears from time to time, together with the story Mazuru told during the day.
