Chapter 370: There Is an Otaku Hidden in Everyone’s Heart!
After Otsuu-chan finished speaking, the TV screen switched instantly, and the next preview began to be broadcast:

[Knowledge! Stamina! Willpower! Effort! Finances! Authority! Influence! Superpower! Shout out with everything that might make you popular! Scream your love for Otsuu-chan!]
At this time, the TV screen was fixed on a registration notice:
[Time: May 21st.]
[Budget Venue: Oedo Sports Plaza]

The host voice continued: [The long battle between the men will finally be brought to a conclusion! The pianist battle to decide Terakado Tsuu's official fan club. Our program is seeking applicants! After each team selects four representatives, send the team name and participant name to the following address by email...]
The scene switched back to Terakado Tsuu. They saw Terakado Tsuu waving at the camera full of vitality and raising her fist with a smile on her face.
"Everyone, I am waiting for you at the venue(The world's first poop)!"
"The winners will receive certificates proving them as official fan club members as well as a monetary reward."
At the end of the show, it was a flying kiss from Otsuu-chan to the screen.
"Please send in your applications~"
...
"Shin-chan... this is... this is!!" The fighting spirit in Takaya's eyes was rekindled.
Shinpachi did not respond, but everyone could feel that there seemed to be a whirlwind between him and Toshiro. At the same time, their bodies also ignited with an inexplicable arrogance.
Then, the corners of Shinpachi's mouth curled up, and his eyes glanced in the direction of Toshiro, full of fighting intent.
Toshiro was the same.
At this moment,
Gintoki's voice-over sounded again in a very appropriate situation: [Our story is set during the Warring Terakado Tsuu Fan Clubs Period. Two tigers managed to survive the furious battle. The Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards and the Tsusengumi. Which will earn the right to be official?! The final battle of the otaku is about to begin! Beasts howl in the wilds!]
"Yeah~ Today's chapter is finally over~" Gintoki said lazily as he lay on the sofa.
"Gin-san, you're really annoying." Shinpachi turned around and complained, "Did you get hooked on the narrating thing? And Kawaki-san, don't sleep. Did you fall asleep again when you heard the word "Our story"? Wake up! Today's chapter has just begun!"
"Ah~~" After a yawn, Kawaki rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, sorry, but I listened carefully this time. It turns out that after Akechi Mitsuhide and Zaku defeated Majin Buu who provoked the Fourth Ninja World War together, the two were ready to fight to the death. These two, Mitsuhide and Zaku, can really quarrel~"
"You didn't listen at all..." Shinpachi twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "By the way, your history is really a mess... I don't know how to complain, no, it should be that there are too many slots and I don't know where to start..."
"It doesn't matter, Shinpachi." Kawaki waved his hand indifferently."Women don't like men who are too nostalgic~"
"This is not a reason for your bad history!"
"As long as we can participate in this and obtain a victory, we..." As he spoke, Takaya raised his head and looked at Shinpachi with a face full of excitement, "We can still become official! Shin-chan! We still have a chance! Shin-chan!"
"Hehehehe..." Toshiro, who was leaning against the door of the living room, held his hands and smiled darkly. There was a hint of ridicule in his words as he said, "So this is what they mean by running into Buddha in hell. You've been saved by Otsuu-chan, members of the Terakado Tsuu's Imperial Guards. Well, it just means that you get to survive a little longer. The outcome will be the same, no matter what the contest is. The fact is that you people can't defeat me. I'll see you on the stage..."
Saying that Toshiro stood up straight and said, "Let me kick your dejected head away and send you on your way", then turned around with a smile...
However, just as Toshiro took a step, Shinpachi suddenly looked at Toshiro and said with a serious face, "Please wait a moment..."
Toshiro stopped in his tracks.
"Tosshi... no, Hijikata-san," Shinpachi continued, "You are not Otaku Tosshi, but Hijikata-san, right?"
"Eh?" Kagura, who was sitting on the sofa, asked in confusion.
"Otaku Tosshi is a cowardly otaku. He will never do such a deliberately provocative action in the enemy's territory," Shinpachi continued, "He will not deliberately smile like this. Also, the most important thing is... he doesn't smoke!"
It was only then that everyone discovered that there was a pack of cigarettes that had been opened and a few cigarettes were missing in the breast pocket of Toshiro's sleeveless jagged denim jacket...
Toshiro turned his back to the crowd. After a moment of silence, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.
"Hijikata-san, what on earth are you planning?" Shinpachi spoke again, "Pretend to be Tosshi, get in touch with Otakus, gather so many Otakus together, become a huge force, and even want to get involved in the position of Otsuu-chan's official fan club... What is your purpose?! What exactly do you want to do?!"
At this time, Toshiro slowly replied, "Just like you all know, Tosshi was born because I came into contact with the demon sword. He is Hijikata Toshiro, who increased the value of the useless otaku part because of the curse. That's right, that guy is not another personality living in me, but the real Hijikata Toshiro!"
"However, I have always resisted him, separated him as another personality, and sealed him to the deepest part of my consciousness. 'One day that guy will disappear,' I thought. But... no matter how long I waited, that guy didn't disappear, that guy was still waiting for an opening to appear, waiting for an opportunity to take over this body. Still waiting with eyes wide open in the back of my consciousness..."
As he spoke, Toshiro laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "Can't you understand? How I felt after getting my hands on a nice cabinet and looking forward to what I might put inside, only to find it filled with pretty girl anime DVDs before I knew it?"
"Can't you understand? How I felt when I was preparing to head out into battle... only to be corralled by friends I didn't know to an hour-long discussion about EVA..."
Before Toshiro could finish speaking, Shinpachi had already arrived behind Toshiro. At the same time, he placed his hand on Toshiro's shoulder. He lowered his head and interrupted, "That's enough..."
"I'm tired of... the days of fighting...." There was a trace of exhaustion in Toshiro's voice, "Fighting on the outside, fighting on the inside. When will I be able to rest? Even if the demon sword was the catalyst, he's still part of my personality. I didn't refuse the fight. I chose to face him head-on and talk."
"[I don't want to disappear without accomplishing anything. I want to leave proof of my existence.] That's what he said, this... " Toshiro's face revealed a trace of reluctance, "... is Tosshi's dream! It's the flower I have to offer in front of his grave!"
After saying that, Toshiro turned to look at Shinpachi and said with a face of sincerity, "I want to reach the summit of OTAKU! Rule all OTAKU, rule everything, and become the OTAKU Demon King! Then leave the proof of that guy's life in this world! Deeply engraved in people's hearts! I won't stop. To help him rest in peace and to regain full control of this body, I'll conquer the otaku world!"
"Hijikata-san..."
"Hey, Gin-chan, little uncle," Kagura looked at Kawaki and Gintoki beside her and asked aloud, "What is the OTAKU Demon King? How do you become one-aru? Do you have to get a license somewhere?"
"You can pass the test in the training class surrounded by a field of flowers," Gintoki answered casually without any enthusiasm.
"No, cut your hair into V-shaped bangs, and then put on that jagged sleeveless denim jacket. By the way, don't forget to turn into those dead fish eyes. This is the most important point." Kawaki shook his head and replied with his hands folded, "When you go out, just say that you are the OTAKU Demon King to everyone you meet, about three days or so. "
"Three days?" Kagura muttered with her chin propped up, "It seems to be quite difficult-aru."
Unexpectedly, Toshiro ignored their ridicule and continued, "The top idol, Terakado Tsuu. With her in hand, I can stand at the summit of all otaku. My long battle will be over."
"Wait a minute," Gintoki waved his hand and reminded, "In hand? You're just going to be her fan club. Yeah? Do you people understand?"
However, Toshiro and Shinpachi were completely unmoved.
"Even so, will you still try to stop me?" Toshiro looked at Shinpachi and said seriously, "Will you interfere, knowing that this fight is for establishing my own existence?"
"Sorry," Shinpachi replied with a serious face, "I won't give Otsuu-chan to someone who doesn't love her!"
"Give what? She was never yours to begin with." Gintoki was a little speechless, "How many times I have told you, this is just a little fan club dispute.."
"Hmph, I knew it would turn out like this." Toshiro snorted, "Looks like this battle can not be avoided no matter what!"
"It's the fan club's duty to protect the princess to the very end. This is our mission!" There was no hint of fear in Shinpachi's eyes.
"Stop my conquest if you can!"
"Let's decide the victor! Hijikata-san!"
Shinpachi and Toshiro's pupils contracted slightly at the same time, and they spoke at the same time, "I'll be the one to become the Terakado Tsuu Official Fan Club!!"
