I formed the strongest swordsman group

In addition to the large courtyard dedicated to raising radishes, there is also an area in the depths of the Xiaoqianye Sword Gym that is commonly called the "inner courtyard". Only Sanako, his family and the servants at home can freely enter and exit. small yard.

There is a well in the inner courtyard, and Sanako and his family get their daily water from this well in the inner courtyard.

"...Brother." Sanako's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Isn't it more appropriate for you to take Mr. Ju to the inner courtyard to wipe off his sweat and rest?"

"That can't be done."

Chiba Shigetaro seemed to have expected that Sanako would say that, so he made a draft in advance, and said quickly without thinking:

"Although there was such a small episode as 'Mr. Ju accepts Liqie's challenge', this small episode is over."

"It's not even noon yet, and it's still far from the end of this morning's practice time."

"I have to continue teaching now, I can't separate myself."

"Now you are the only one who has time to take Mr. Ju to rest in the inner courtyard."

"If you don't go, who else can you let?"

The reasons given by Chiba Shigetaro... are impeccable.

Throughout the small Chiba Sword Gym, only the inner courtyard has a well that can draw water to scrub the body.

As for the private place like the inner courtyard, only two brothers and sisters, Chiba Shigetaro and Sanako, could easily bring Qingdeng there.

Chiba Shigetaro would continue to teach the apprentices, so Sanako was the only one who could take Qingdeng to the inner courtyard now.

Although the reason given by Chiba Shigetaro is very reasonable, and there is no flaw at all... But Sanako still half-closed her beautiful eyes, with a deep gaze that seemed to be looking at the distant sky, without saying a word, straight He stared intently at Chiba Shigetaro's face.

"What's wrong?"

Chiba Shigetaro looked at Sanako without flinching or fear.

I saw him with a straight face, putting on the appearance of an upright gentleman who said "my thoughts are very simple and just", and said righteously:

"Sanako, don't you want to just leave Tachibana-kun alone?"

"Leaving aside the current friendship between Tachibana-kun and our Chiba family."

"Only considering that Mr. Ju is now a 'guest who came to visit us', we can't ignore Mr. Ju who is exhausted now."

"That's so rude to people."

How disrespectful——Chiba Shigetaro's words hit Sanako perfectly.

Sanako, who received "Yamato Nadeko education" since she was a child, values ​​etiquette the most, and the most taboo thing is to accidentally do something that is rude to others.

Sanako, who was accurately grasped by Chiba Shigetaro, no longer stared at her brother with the deep eyes that seemed to be looking into the distance, but changed to a look that was tinged with embarrassment and bewilderment. almost eyes.

After a few breaths, as if giving up struggling, Sanako shook his head with a force that was not heavy but not light, and looked straight ahead without looking at his brother again.

"……I see."

Lips pursed, mumbled.

Chiba Shigetaro nodded slightly expressionlessly, then turned his head like Sanako, and turned his gaze back to himself.

Sanako was standing on the right side of Chiba Jutaro, so from her perspective, she could only see the right half of Chiba Jutaro's face.

Therefore, at this time, Sanako did not notice the change in the expression on the left side of Chiba Shigetaro's face—the corner of Chiba Shigetaro's left mouth was slightly raised.

Showing a "planned" smug smile.

...

...

Qingdeng's salute and Qingdeng's words naturally took away the sound of the dojo and everyone's sight.

Gudong, Gudong... Occasionally, there was a sound of swallowing saliva with difficulty, disturbing the tranquility of the dojo.

Everyone...whether they were casting positive glances at Qingdeng or showing negative expressions towards Qingdeng, without exception, they all stared dumbfoundedly at Qingdeng who was still maintaining his saluting posture on the field.

No matter how much you hate Qingdeng, you have to admit: King Ren... This young swordsman has created another incredible achievement!

The 18 disciples of the Xiaoqianye Sword Gym were challenged in succession, and no one in the entire Gym dared to challenge them again, and they retreated with a complete victory... When this matter spreads, the name of "King Ren" is bound to become even louder!

After all, this place is not some little-known third-rate sword gym, but the well-known Little Chiba Sword Gym, which is recognized as a gathering place for masters of swordsmanship.

In the Xiaoqianye Sword Hall where there are so many masters, he will fight against all the heroes and win a big victory... Whether this is "unprecedented" is hard to say, but "unprecedented" is for sure!

Before today, no one had the ability or the opportunity to accomplish such a feat.

The people in the "Zonazi Suitors Legion" were completely dumbfounded.

Not only were all the masters on their side on the stage, but even those talented people who had nothing to do with Zuo Nazi came to the stage one by one...but still no one could make Qingdeng taste a defeat.

At this moment, these people whose minds and spirits have been completely crushed by the strength displayed by Qingdeng are all downcast, their eyes are blank, and their heads are like an extra part of the body, hanging weakly on their chests.

There is no such vigor and arrogance that he threatened to treat Qingdeng before.

In a way...they were lucky.

They didn't know a certain cruel truth - if they knew that Qingdeng hadn't exerted his full strength in the battle just now, then their already shattered self-confidence would probably become even more shattered Bar.

From accepting the first challenge to picking 18 players in a row, Qingdeng's "lonely courage" has never been activated.

Qingdeng has yet to show the greatest strength that he can unleash today.

Under the silent gaze of the crowd, Qingdeng straightened his waist slowly, finished his polite salute, hugged his mask, held the bamboo sword, turned back, and went straight to the direction where the two brothers and sisters, Sanako and Chiba Shigetaro, were. go.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

At this time, someone suddenly applauded.

The solitary applause was especially clear and bright in the extremely quiet dojo.

The applause - Amon Jotaro who just played against Qingdeng.

He smiled, cast unpretentious appreciation and admiration gazes at Qingdeng, and persistently applauded Qingdeng regardless of the strange gazes of anyone present.

After Amen opened his head like this, in the blink of an eye, someone started to applaud like Amen.

Then, the applause began to increase, and more and more people applauded accordingly.

In this way, one passes two, two passes four, four passes eight... In an instant, the dojo that was originally silent became extremely noisy.

Qingdeng's strength won the respect and admiration of many people present.

This young swordsman deserves such applause——Amen Jotaro and the others thought so from the bottom of their hearts.

Sanako, Chiba Shigetaro, and Chiba Tameshiro looked at the surroundings filled with dense applause with surprised eyes.

The three brothers and sisters looked at the scene with completely different expressions.

Chiba Shigetarou showed a happy and proud smile as if his close relative had won such an honor.

Chiba Tamonshiro, who just forced Chiba Shigetaro to end Qingdeng's Lien Chan on the grounds that "it will damage the face of Xiao Chiba Sword Gym", has a complicated expression.

As for Sanako... She showed a very charming and weird expression at this time.

She first looked around with surprised eyes, and then turned her eyes to look directly at Qing Deng who was walking towards them.

His eyes flickered.

In the blink of her beautiful eyes, she sent Qingdeng long, envious glances.

Qingdeng didn't notice Sanako's strange gaze.

Because his current attention was taken away by Chiba Shigetaro.

"Ha ha ha ha."

As soon as Qingdeng returned to Sanako and the others, Chiba Shigetaro laughed heartily.

"Mr. Ju, you look like you just crawled out of the river."

After hearing this, Qingdeng lowered his head with a wry smile, and glanced at his clothes that were drenched by his sweat dripping down like a waterfall.

"Wearing protective gear for a long time in summer should kill you." Qingdeng half-jokingly said.

Chiba Shigetaro smiled intriguingly:

"Mr. Ju, go and take a rest first, and wipe off the sweat on your body. Alright, Sanako, you can take Mr. Ju to the inner courtyard now."

"Inner courtyard?" Qing Deng was startled.

As a frequent visitor of Little Chiba Sword Academy, Qingdeng naturally knows where the inner courtyard is.

He Sanako went to such a private place alone, and even went there to take off his clothes and wipe his sweat...Qingdeng subconsciously wanted to evade with "wouldn't this be inappropriate".

But Chiba Shigetaro seemed to have foreseen how the situation would develop. Before Qingdeng could say anything, he urged Sanako as if blocking the escape route:

"Zanako, the sword hall is in a mess now, I want to straighten out the order of the sword hall now, and Ju-jun will leave it to you."

"..." Zuo Nazi pursed his lips, and squinted at his brother with a deep and complicated gaze.

"knew……"

After muttering this in a sigh-like tone, Sanako turned around and walked towards the outside of the dojo meanderingly.

"Mr. Orange, come with me."

"Uh..." Qingdeng stared blankly at Chiba Shigetaro, and then at Sanako who was about to leave.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is inconvenient for him to say anything more.

Hence, Qingdeng had no choice but to bite the bullet and chase after Zuo Nazi.

Sanako and Qingdeng left the dojo one after the other... At this scene, the "Zonazi Suitors Legion" who were already extremely depressed at the scene dealt another fierce blow.

Some people cast jealous eyes in the direction Qingdeng left.

Some people still hang their heads down—they no longer have the spirit to compete with Qingdeng...

...

...

a moment later—

Little Chiba Sword Gym, the inner courtyard——

Wow!

Qingdeng, who was squatting by the well, scooped up a handful of well water freshly poured from the basin with both hands, and splashed it vigorously on his face.

The refreshing touch spread along the face to the whole body, making Qing Deng feel so refreshed that the pores all over his body were opened wide.

After simply washing his face, Qingdeng retracted his arms into the wide sleeves of the kimono, and stretched out the two hands retracted into the kimono through the front of the chest, and pushed back the force of the kimono on his upper body , exposing his muscular upper body with many beads of sweat still remaining.

This feeling of sticky sweat on the body is really not very pleasant.

It is a kind of torture to wear a full set of swordsmanship protective gear in such a hot and stuffy summer.

Even if you don’t do anything, just standing there will still make you sweat all over your body, not to mention that Qingdeng has played 18 fierce heads-up matches wearing it.

When all the protective gear was removed, the clothes on Qing Deng's body were basically wet with his sweat, and his whole body seemed to have just been fished out of the water.

Qingdeng took out a hand towel he carried with him from his back waist, and soaked it in the basin.

At this time, Sanako's voice came from behind.

"Mr. Tangerine."

"Huh?" Qing Deng subconsciously followed the sound and turned his gaze.

Then, he saw a cute back of the head with a high ponytail, a graceful back, and a plump "peach" with a horizontal girth slightly larger than that of a bear pressing a pair of slender feet.

It was Sanako who was sitting on the porch connecting the mansion and the inner courtyard with his back to Qingdeng.

When his gaze unconsciously caught sight of Sanako's "juicy peach", which was too impressive, Qing Deng hurriedly closed his eyes in embarrassment, not daring to look any further.

The elastic flesh is piled together because of this kneeling posture, most of the two little feet are buried, and only a small part of the front soles are exposed.

Originally, this part is particularly conspicuous because of the size of the skirt that can be lifted high,

The current sitting posture has directly raised the eye-catching degree of this part to an incomparable level.

No matter how you say it, Zuo Nazi is also an unmarried young girl.

In line with the principle of incompatibility between men and women, after taking Qingdeng to the inner courtyard and letting Qingdeng wipe his body with the well in the inner courtyard, Zuo Nazi sat down with his back facing Qingdeng, and only put his head and back on his back. Qingdeng exposed his buttocks, buttocks and small soles of his feet.

"Shall I help you find a clean hand towel?"

"Oh, no. I have a hand towel I keep with me, and I'll just use mine."

After finishing speaking, Qingdeng picked up the towel soaked in the water basin, wrung it dry, and carefully wiped his body with the towel up and down.

"Miss Sanako, I'm sorry to bother you to bring me here to wipe my sweat and rest."

"You are being polite." Zuo Nazi said indifferently, "These are just what I should do."

Speaking of this, Zonako paused.

"It's better to say... I'm the one who should say 'sorry' to you."

"Huh?" Qingdeng cast a puzzled look at Sanazi.

"...It just so happens that there are no outsiders here, so let me tell you the truth. Mr. Ju, the reason why so many people suddenly want to challenge you today is because of me."

A look of shame floated on Sanako's cheeks... It's a pity that because her back was facing Qingdeng, Qingdeng didn't have the chance to see her.

Sanako was about to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Qingdeng's chuckle.

"Hahaha, what are you talking about..."

Qingdeng smiled lightly.

"I've known about this for a long time."

"You already knew?"

Subconsciously, Sanako wanted to turn her head to look at Qingdeng behind her, but she suddenly remembered that Qingdeng was in a state of insanity, so she quickly stopped her head, and straightened her head, which was slightly tilted and almost saw the scene behind her .

"I've known for a long time that those people who challenged me first were all your suitors."

Qingdeng told Sonazzi the details of the incident when he accidentally overheard the plot of the "Zonazi Suitor Legion" when he was going to the bathroom.

After hearing this, Zenazi bit her rosy lower lip lightly, then parted her lips and let out a soft sigh.

"I'm really sorry...it's all because of me that you have been in such trouble for no reason."

"No need to apologize. Strictly speaking, what happened today has nothing to do with you. The instigators are all your fanatical suitors."

"Those people... are really annoying. They don't want to do something serious, and try to do some crooked ways. I will discuss with my father and brother what to do with these people. They can't do anything because of this kind of crime today. If you come to find fault with you for inexplicable reasons, then there is no guarantee that they will do some ridiculous things to someone in the future."

"Hahaha, from another perspective, I also want to thank these people. Thanks to them, I was able to compete with many masters one by one today. Today's battle has benefited me a lot."

——It is true that I have benefited a lot, and I have acquired a lot of talents... I have made a lot of money.

After silently adding this sentence in his heart, Qingdeng continued:

"Little Qianye Sword Academy is really well-deserved of its reputation, the overall quality of the disciples is really incredible."

"Although this kind of words may not be suitable for a guard like me... But in terms of the overall quality of the disciples, the Little Chiba Sword Gym is really much better than our guard hall. "

"I feel more and more that in the 'Red and White Battle' half a year ago, our Trial Guard Hall was able to defeat your Little Qianye Sword Hall, and there was really a lot of luck in it."

"If some of the people who challenged me today participated in the competition at that time...then the one who won in the end should be your Little Chiba Sword Gym."

Of the 18 challengers that Qingdeng faced today, more than half of them had faces that had never appeared in the "Red and White Battle" half a year ago.

At that time, many masters in the Xiaoqianye Sword Gym did not participate in the "red and white battle" against the Test Guard Gym because they were busy or were not interested in the competition.

If all the masters of Xiaoqianye Sword Gym had come to participate in the competition at that time... then it would be exactly as what Qingdeng said just now, not to mention how hard he, the chief executive and others fought, there would be no chance of winning .

In terms of high-end combat power, the Weiwei Pavilion does not lose to the Little Chiba Sword Pavilion.

Okita, Kondo, Hijikata, and Inoue, the four of them are still top-notch masters even if they are placed in the Little Chiba Sword Gym.

Especially Okita, if it is only a one-on-one fight, then no disciple of Little Chiba Sword Gym can compete with Okita.

But the combat power of the middle and lower levels... the test guard hall was completely overwhelmed by the little Qianye sword hall.

After quietly listening to Qingdeng's words, Sanazi blinked her beautiful eyes a few times.

"The 'Red and White Battle' half a year ago... How time flies, and the competition with your guards was half a year ago."

"Speaking of which, it's really incredible."

The light in Sanazi's pupils swayed slightly at this moment following her mumbling words.

Because Qingdeng didn't understand what Sanazi's "unbelievable" meant, he raised a bewildered look at Sanazi.

"Mr. Ju, your talent, your speed of improvement...it's unbelievable."

Sanako said softly in a calm tone.

"Obviously, in the 'Red and White Battle' half a year ago, Mr. Ju, your strength was not as good as mine."

"But in the past six months, Mr. Ju, your strength has changed with each passing day."

"The speed at which your strength has improved has left me speechless."

"I still remember the scene of you defeating the outstanding newcomers in each sword gym one by one in the swordsmanship competition held by the Marquis of Aizu more than 4 months ago."

"To this day, not only the outstanding newcomers from various sword gyms in Edo can't beat you, even the high-ranking disciples of our Little Chiba Sword Gym are no longer your opponents."

"Although I am very unwilling...but after watching your battle just now, I already know that you are far stronger than me now."

"On the way of swordsmanship, you have reached the realm that I need to look up to."

"Honestly... I feel a little envious of you."

Speaking of this, Sanako's eyelids drooped a little, his lowered eyes looked at the hands folded on his knees, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a bitter smile appeared on his pretty face.

The tone becomes emotionally elusive.

"If only... I could have such superb talent as you..."

Although he couldn't see Sanako's face, Qingdeng could feel that Sanako's mood seemed a little depressed from the tone of his speech.

The two of them were chatting well just now, but without any foreshadowing, Zuo Nazi's mood suddenly became depressed... This rapid change made Qingdeng feel a little unprepared.

"Ah, sorry."

Sanako took a deep breath, and said quickly in an apologetic tone.

"I seem to say too many boring things."

"Please forget what I just said."

"Mr. Ju, are you thirsty? My brother's friend just sent us a few cans of sour plum soup yesterday. It tastes pretty good. Would you like to try it?"

Sanako tried to change the subject...but the change was a bit too blunt.

Qingdeng ignored the new question that Sanako threw at him in a blunt manner.

He stared at the back of Sanako's head calmly, his eyelids blinking extremely slowly because his head was concentrating on thinking.

"Mr. Tangerine?"

Qing Deng remained silent for a long time, which made Zuo Nazi look a little puzzled.

Because he didn't know whether Qingdeng was wearing any clothes, Zuo Nazi still didn't dare to turn his face away.

At this time, Sanako heard a "pop".

This was the sound of Qingdeng throwing the towel in his hand into the basin.

"Hmm... In terms of talent...Miss Sanako, you don't have to be too ashamed."

Qingdeng smiled while washing the towel in the sink.

"You are the most powerful female warrior I have ever seen in my life."

"When I first saw your swordsmanship, your superb swordsmanship shocked me."

"You also have a superb talent that ordinary people can't match."

"So, all in all..."

Qingdeng stopped washing the towel, raised his right hand and scratched the hair on the back of his head.

The smile on his face turned into a dry smile... He was trying hard to think about the appropriate words, thinking about how to beautifully bring his above remarks to a beautiful end.

After a while, Qingdeng put down his hand grabbing his hair.

The calm but powerful voice reached Sanako's ears again.

"...Miss Sanako, you don't need to belittle yourself."

"If you strive for the top and go forward bravely, then no one and nothing in this world can stop your shining."

"With your skills, Ms. Sanako, one day you will be able to achieve achievements in martial arts that will win everyone's approval."

"I think so from the bottom of my heart."

Sanako opened her eyes wide in surprise.

I saw her looking at something in front of her with a trance expression.

But she didn't look at anything.

All of her mind was focused on the emotion Qingdeng said just now.

Her eyes, which were originally empty and blank, gradually shone with the same color as the clear summer sky.

Sanako, who was distracted by Qingdeng's words just now, smiled subconsciously.

The corners of the seductive mouth extended to both sides with a shallow arc, and a faint smile hung on the girl's cheek.

She tried her best to purse her lips, but still let out a soft laugh.

The smile on the pretty face and the light and shadow in the eyes complement each other to create dazzling and colorful colors.

"Mr. Tangerine..."

Sanako opened his lips, just about to say something.

But at this moment...

"Wow!"

Qingdeng's exclamation and the sound of the basin being overturned suddenly interrupted all of Sanako's thoughts.

"Mr. Orange, what's the matter?"

Sanako, who subconsciously turned her face away in response to the loud voice and huge movement behind her, had a tense voice.

The moment she turned her face and looked behind her... her expression froze.

...

...

At this very moment—

Little Chiba Sword Gym, Field B——

"...Brother Duomen, what do you think of Mr. Ju?"

After Qingdeng was led by Sanako to rest in the inner courtyard, the Little Chiba Sword Gym returned to normal order under the organization of Chiba Shigetaro.

Everyone went back to their respective places and did their own things.

The gatekeepers of Field C return to Field C.

The disciples in Field B also resumed their cultivation.

But in the air of the dojo, there was still a bit of the solemn aura that had just started a series of fierce battles, as well as the warm atmosphere of applause for Qingdeng who retreated with a complete victory.

Standing at a certain corner of the dojo, Chiba Shigetaro with his arms folded around his chest, looked like he was carefully observing the swordsmanship movements of the apprentices on the field... But in fact, his mind had already flown elsewhere.

"What do you think?"

Chiba Tamon Shiro, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Chiba Shigetaro, asked in puzzlement.

"...I'll just say it straight."

Chiba Shigetaro lowered his volume, looked directly into Chiba Tameshiro's eyes, and said sternly.

"Brother Domon, what do you think of the name 'Tachibana Sanako'?"

"……ha?"

"Have you not understood yet? Then let me speak more bluntly. What do you think about letting Qingdeng and Zanazi get married?"
