Chapter 464: Sakata Gintoki’s True Feelings Revealed
Doujin Artist: You promise?Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft! Anyone who believes that is a complete idiot!
Machete Girl: You’re the pervert yourself, yet you call someone else a pervert. That’s just like you, Gin.
Shark-Faced Guy: Just forget it. No matter what we say here, Gin-san won’t care. With his thick skin, he wouldn’t even blush.
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: That’s right, at least I, Uncle, know how to blush! Not only do I blush, I get shy too.
Soul Society’s Villain: ? Are you brainwashing yourself now, Deadpool?
This is an Actor: He’s not just brainwashing himself, he’s hypnotizing himself. Just brainwashing isn’t enough, he wouldn’t say this without hypnosis.
Lazy Kitten: What talent! You’re truly talented! Katsura, Gin, Deadpool, you three are the ultimate talents of this group. I’m totally impressed by you guys!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Beijing is finally powered up! [Picture]
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Wow, amazing.
Amegakure Village’s Angel: What a beautiful night view, and the architectural styles are very unique.
Lazy Kitten: It feels like Hengdian World Studios, really. Hanging all sorts of electric lights on the ancient city walls, it’s just like Hengdian. But Hengdian doesn’t have red flags stuck on every building like you guys do...
This is an Actor: I think it looks good.
He wasn’t lying; he genuinely thought it looked good. After all, he hadn’t seen red flags in quite some time. Seeing them so suddenly gave him a feeling of great familiarity.
Creak.
As he was lost in thought, the dormitory door slowly opened.
"Hey, cute little professor." Luna hopped into the room like a cat, lifting her foot. "You have a visitor."
As she spoke, a disheveled Hermione followed closely behind. "Luna, that’s very rude! You should knock first!"
"Knocking is what guests do," Luna replied, her voice light and airy as she blinked. "But I’m not a guest." She wasn’t joking; she genuinely felt like she was half the owner of this room.
However, Hermione seemed to have misunderstood and said indignantly, "Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re an assistant!"
"It’s okay, Hermione," Jellall said at the right time, his voice gentle. "You should know I’m not one for formalities. Don’t be too harsh on Luna; it’s just her personality."
"But, but still..."
Before Hermione could finish, Jellall interrupted, "You seem a bit unstable today. Did something happen?"
"I’m confused, Professor Zickrein," Hermione sighed, speaking slowly. "About how you and Professor Dumbledore treated Lockhart before, that wasn’t permitted by law, was it?"
"Yes, that’s right." Jellall didn’t ask why she was there at the time. He answered directly, "According to wizarding law, no organization or individual can force a legal wizard to take Veritaserum."
"Then why did you..."
"But if we hadn’t done that then, how would we have gotten Gilderoy Lockhart’s evidence of crimes?"
Hermione fell silent. After a moment, she looked up again. "You’re twisting things. At least at the time, he hadn’t done anything wrong. You didn’t follow the law, that’s a fact."
"You’re right," Jellall nodded. "But so what? What do you think the law is? Inviolable statutes? That’s not the case at all. Almost every wizard in the entire wizarding world has broken the law. Especially those pure-blood families, they even trade all sorts of dark magic items... Has anyone punished them?"
"But, but that doesn’t mean breaking the law is acceptable, does it?" Hermione knew it was true, but both the young man before her and Dumbledore had shining reputations as wizards. How could they be compared to those disgusting pure-blood families?
"It’s the same question: what do you think the law is?"
"The law is the law!"
"No, the essence of law is a tool. Tools serve people. And who this service is for needs to be discussed. I believe it should be for those who truly abide by the law, not scum like Lockhart."
"D-did you know he was a fake all along?"
"Yes, I knew from the start that Lockhart was a fraud. And I had solid evidence to prove he was indeed a fraud, but I just didn’t want to report him through legal channels. That would be too easy for him."
Silence.
Hermione fell into a deadly silence again upon hearing this. After an unknown amount of time, she finally came back to her senses. She said softly, "I’m sorry, Professor Zickrein. I misunderstood you before. I’m sorry..."
"No need to apologize," Jellall shook his head and smiled. "There’s quite a lot to do today. Are you ready?"
"Of course!" Hermione beamed again, nodding vigorously.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: My goodness, this woman from Planet Beta is really something! Her figure and looks are both quite captivating.
Curly-haired Guy: Right? I told you! No one can resist this kind of temptation, no one!
Doujin Artist: You weren’t saying that earlier, were you? Weren’t you going to supervise Katsura? How come you’re the one getting infatuated now?
Curly-haired Guy: You can’t say that, Eriri dear. Gin-san is already nearing middle age, right? After all these decades of being busy, at least it’s time to settle down, isn’t it?
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: ?
Soul Society’s Villain: Are you really Gin?
Curly-haired Guy: That’s right, it’s really me. I really want to turn over a new leaf now, and I’ve already found my destined partner! It’s the one in the middle. What do you guys think? Is she suitable?
Amegakure Village’s Angel: She certainly is beautiful, but the thought you’re having now is probably just lusting after her body, isn’t it?
Curly-haired Guy: How could that be! It’s about marriage! I’m genuinely thinking of dating her with that goal in mind! I’ve already gotten her agreement, and we’ll discuss it in detail later... Fellow comrades in the chat, wish me luck!
Shark-Faced Guy: ???
Lin Fengjiao: So you went to gather information and now it’s about getting married?
