I formed the strongest swordsman group

When Qingdeng was still hanging out with Kinoshita Mai at the venue of the fireworks display——

Edo, a certain place, an izakaya, a certain private room——

"So...Brother Chong, you suddenly called me out, what do you want?"

Chiba Tamonshiro picked up the sake in hand and filled a glass for himself.

"Brother Tomon!" Chiba Shigetaro, who was sitting opposite Chiba Tamon Shiro, looked excited, "I have a new plan for tomorrow's fireworks display!"

Hearing what Chiba Shigetaro said, Chiba Tameshiro was taken aback for a moment, and then heaved a long sigh.

"Brother Chong, what new plan have you come up with?"

"Brother Duomen, when the fireworks are released tomorrow night, we will just find some excuse to leave, and create a chance for Mr. Ju to be alone with Sanako."

"Huh? This... is too difficult, right?"

"It's not big at all! I've thought up all the excuses for you! I said I wanted to relieve myself, but you said you were hungry and wanted to buy something to eat. You see, in this way, the two of us, brothers and sisters, would not be able to get along in a logical way." Did you leave?"

Chiba Shigetaro grabbed the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in the glass.

"Let's dawdle for one or two sticks of incense before coming back, leaving enough time for Mr. Ju and Sanako to be alone. Duomen brother, what do you think of my plan?"

"...It seems to be okay." Chiba Tameshiro sighed softly, "It's much more reliable than those messy plans you came up with before."

Regarding the cousins ​​Chiba Shigetaro and Chiba Tomon Shiro, why are they discussing some "plan" of Rao Shizi at this moment... It all started more than ten days ago when the two of them formed a "bringing together Qingdeng and Zuo That son" from the day of the united front.

The brothers, on the day they formed the "United Front", fell into a predicament of not knowing what to do and what to do because they had little experience in the affairs of men and women.

Just when he was at a loss, Chiba Shigetaro heard the sound of Kenya trying to set off fireworks.

At that moment, thousands of inspirations emerged in Chiba Shigetaro's mind!

Fireworks—Fireworks Contest—Lonely men and women go to the Fireworks Contest together...Chiba Shigetaro's imagination leaps forward like never before!

This leap of imagination turned into a bold idea: Why not try to get Qingdeng and Sanako to go to the fireworks festival to watch the fireworks together?

The fireworks display has always been the easiest event for young men and women to create sparks.

The reason is not complicated——

In the grand ceremony that only happens once a year, colorful fireworks bloom repeatedly in the night sky, and the gorgeous firelight illuminates the eyes and cheeks of yourself and the people around you... Whether it is a boy or a girl, facing such a scene, such a scene It's hard not to be distracted by the atmosphere.

Although "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker" is the absolute mainstream of marriage in this era, there are many men and women who finally get together by relying on "free love".

Especially among civilians, "free love" is a very common thing.

Commoners do not have as much red tape as samurai, so compared to samurai, commoners are much more free and open.

Every summer, many young men and women can be seen stepping into the venue of the fireworks display to enjoy the joy of the celebration together.

Influenced by the beautiful atmosphere of the fireworks display, there are countless examples of couples forming relationships, and even forming husbands and wives soon after.

Chiba Shigetaro thought to himself: This year's fireworks festival is coming... Then this is a good opportunity!

If Qingdeng and Sanako can participate in the fireworks display together... Maybe this year, Qingdeng and Sanako will be able to form a couple!

Then in another year, Sanako will be able to change her surname to "Sanako Tachibana"!

Then after another year, I will have an extra nephew or niece!

Chiba Shigetaro raised the corners of his mouth uncontrollably due to such a beautiful imagination.

However... Although the idea is very good, the problem is: how can these two people participate in the fireworks display together logically?

Say directly to Sanako: "Hey, Sanako, the fireworks display is only a few days away, do you want to watch the fireworks with Ju-kun?"...This is definitely not possible!

Chiba Shigetaro knew Sanako's temperament best.

He is obviously 22 years old, but there is still a strong rebellious spirit in his temperament.

The more you ask Sanako to do something, the more she wants to turn against you.

She is like a cat that is both noble and irascible.

Touch her hair, and she will be kind to you.

If you touch her against her hair... directly serve her with "meow meow fist\

,"Chiba Shigetaro could even imagine what would happen if he said bluntly to Sanako, "You and Tachibana-kun go watch the fireworks together"—Sanako would definitely give him a blank look, and say coldly, "Why should I Going to watch the fireworks with Mr. Ju?", then walked away without looking back.

Moreover, Chiba Shigetaro is not quite sure what kind of feelings Sanako has towards Qingdeng now.

Although the relationship between Sanako and Qingdeng seems to be very good recently... Chiba Shigetaro still vividly remembers the scene where Sanako bluntly said "I don't like Tachibana-kun".

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Chiba Shigetaro decided to proceed with caution.

He told his only comrade at present about his idea of ​​"trying to get Qingdeng and Sanako to participate in the fireworks display together...that is, Chiba Tamonshiro. Cooperating with Chiba Tameshiro, thinking about how to turn this idea into reality.

Speaking of Chiba Tamonshiro... After the end of the red-and-white battle of "Xuanwukan vs. Test Weikan", he became more enthusiastic about the cause of "bringing Qingdeng and Sanako together".

Chiba Domonshiro's temperament is like this: respect the strong and despise the weak.

As long as your strength and talent are amazing enough, even if you have had trouble with you before, I would like to meet you with admiration.

In the red-white battle a few days ago, Chiba Domon Shiro felt Qingdeng's strength for himself... From the day he was defeated by Qingdeng, Chiba Domon Shiro expressed his love for "trying to make Qingdeng the son-in-law of the Chiba family" "There is no objection to this matter.

Apart from Chiba Domon Shiro, many disciples of the Xuanwu Gym admired Qingdeng because of this loss to the Test Guard Gym.

Losing the battle... This certainly made the disciples of the Xuanwu Gym full of resentment, but apart from being unhappy, they also admired Qingdeng who sent most of their players to the end with his own efforts.

This is also due to the ethos of Xuanwu Hall.

Under the leadership of the aggressive Chiba Michizaburo, the entire Xuanwu Hall is filled with an atmosphere of belligerence and eagerness to fight against the strong.

Therefore, relatively, the strong can get special respect and courtesy in their basalt hall.

He beat up the disciples of Xuanwu Hall, and as a result, his popularity in Xuanwu Hall soared -- such a result was beyond Qingdeng's expectations.

Obviously they are not good at dealing with men and women, but this time the brothers have managed to come up with a decent and quite operational plan——

Tricked Qingdeng and Sanako over with the excuse of "holding a swordsmanship show at the venue of the fireworks display"! The swordsmanship show will be carried out as it is, but during the period, we will try our best to create opportunities for Qingdeng and Sanako to be alone and in close contact. When the fireworks start to set off, we will use "Here we are, let's go watch the fireworks." Using this as an excuse, it is logical to create an opportunity for Qingdeng and Sanako to watch the fireworks together!

Sanako is very interested in activities related to swordsmanship.

If you tell her "come and see the fireworks", she probably won't come. But if you tell her "come to hold a swordsmanship show", then she will most likely readily agree.

Chiba Shigetaro grasped Sanako's preference.

Sure enough, when Chiba Shigetaro told Sanako that he was going to demonstrate swordsmanship at the fireworks festival with Chiba Tamonshiro, Sanako immediately said with bright eyes, "Please let me participate!"

The above is the reason why Chiba Shigetaro suddenly held a swordsmanship show and invited Qingdeng to participate.

Everything is a routine.

So far, the program has been going fairly well.

Both Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi have been "hooked" smoothly.

In recent days, Chiba Shigetaro and Chiba Tamon Shiro met every other day to discuss and improve the action plan.

Just like at this moment, Chiba Shigetaro asked Chiba Tamon Shiro again to explain his new "battle plan".

"anyway……"

Chiba Domon Shiro suddenly changed the topic.

"Brother Chong, have you told Zanako that Mr. Ju will come to participate in the swordsmanship performance tomorrow night?"

Chiba Shigetaro was stunned, then waved his hand: "Not yet, I plan to tell her tomorrow afternoon."

"Did it take so long to tell her?"

"Hmph, don't you understand this?"

Chiba Shigetaro grinned.

"It's safe enough to delay until the last moment when she has no time to repent."

Obviously the next night will be the time for the "combat" to begin, but Chiba Shigetaro has not told Sanako about "Qingdeng will perform swordsmanship with us" until now.

The reason is just as Chiba Shigetaro said just now: to prevent Sanako from feeling remorse after hearing the news, and refusing to participate in the swordsmanship demonstration tomorrow night.

Chiba Shigetaro is still studying Sanako's current feelings and attitude towards Qingdeng.

In order to ensure the complete success of the "combat" tomorrow night, Chiba Shigetaro adopts a "cautious, more cautious" attitude in every move.

"Ah! Duomen brother! I thought of another idea that feels very good!"

Chiba Shigetaro slapped his thigh suddenly, and then told Chiba Tamonshiro his so-called "new idea" with great interest: try to persuade Sanako to put on makeup tomorrow night...

...

...

About half an hour later——

Edo, Barrel Town, Little Chiba Sword Gym, the No. 1 field exclusively for the members of the Chiba family——

call--! call--! call--!

The sound of the wooden naginata swinging at high speed filled every corner of the dojo.

Sanako, dressed in a white and blue kendo uniform, stood in the center of the dojo, wielding a wooden naginata that was a head taller than herself at high speed.

The ponytail flicked, and the black hair fluttered.

The charming face and pink neck glowed with seductive red, dripping with crystal beads of sweat.

Looking at the exquisite skills hidden in the knife, the speed at which such a large knife can be swung up and down, making people dare not to underestimate Sanako's naginata technique as "a mere woman's art". Kung fu."

Although Sanako is proficient in Beichen Yidao style's xiaotai swordsmanship, naginata is her best martial art.

After completing a whole set of sword techniques in one go, Sanako handed the naginata into his left palm, panting "ha... ha...", while reaching into the lapel of his vacant right hand, took out A handkerchief for wiping sweat, gently testing the sweat beads on the face with elegant movements.

"It's still not going well..."

Sanako looked at the naginata in his hand and murmured.

She has been practicing the new moves that Chiba Dingkichi taught her a few days ago.

I have practiced it many times over and over again, but there is always a certain movement, no matter how I do it, it doesn't go well.

"Go and ask your father..."

After her breathing returned to normal and the sweat on her face and neck was wiped off, Sanako held the naginata and strode towards her father Chiba Sadakichi's room at a leisurely pace.

After a while, Chiba Singkichi's bedroom appeared in front of Sanako.

"Father."

"Huh? Sanako, what's the matter?"

"There is something about the new move you taught me that I can't practice well, so I want to ask you for advice."

"Oh...then you come in."

"yes."

At this moment, Chiba Singkichi was sitting by the desk reading a book while he was busy.

After Zenazi opened the door, he put down the book in his hand, and said softly to Zuozi:

"Sanako, what movement do you not understand?"

"Father, I don't know why, when I exert force in this posture and lift the blade upward, I always feel that the force cannot be transmitted..."

...

Sanako succinctly told Chiba Dingkichi what she urgently needed to clarify.

"Oh...that's because your posture is not correct, your legs are too far apart, so the power cannot be smoothly transmitted from the ground to your waist and arms..."

Chiba Sadakichi patiently guided Sanako.

"I see...I see. Father, thank you for your advice."

After saying this, Sanako wanted to get up and go back to the dojo, to test whether the point Chiba Singkichi just gave was a coincidence.

However, just as she was about to get up, Chiba Dingkichi suddenly called out to stop her.

"Sanako, wait a minute."

"Huh? Father, what's the matter?"

"Well...it's nothing, I just have a question I want to ask you."

"Question?" Zuo Nazi bent his knees and sat back in his original position, "Father, may I ask?"

"Sanako, I found that you have been practicing martial arts very hard recently, and you are still in a good mood..." Chiba Singkichi said with a smile, "So I want to ask you: What have you encountered recently that made you feel good?" Is it a good thing?"

Sanako was taken aback.

Then he smiled:

"Father, you are worrying too much. I recently...haven't encountered any good things that make me feel better."

"The reason why I have been practicing martial arts so much lately... There is no special reason. I just feel that my physical condition is quite good recently, so I want to take advantage of this good momentum to practice more martial arts."

"..." Chiba Dingkichi took a deep look at Sanako, then let out a "huh" and took a deep breath, "Okay. No matter how you say it, it's a good thing that you practice martial arts diligently and are in a good mood .”

"Keep it up."

"But pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't train your body to injury."

Sanako: "Yes!"

...

...

After coming out of Chiba Singkichi's room, Sanako did not leave immediately.

"Aha……"

With a deep breath, she used her back to find the corridor wall beside her.

She just lied.

She recently... really encountered a good thing that made her feel better.

...

(Miss Sanako, you don’t need to underestimate yourself. If you strive to be the best and go forward bravely, then no one and nothing in this world can stop you from shining. With your skills, Miss Sanako, one day you will be able to excel in martial arts Achieving an achievement that everyone agrees to.)

...

Qingdeng's voice echoed in Sanako's ears...

These are the exact words that Qingdeng said to Zuo Nazi when he defeated the heroes of Xiaoqianye Sword Academy a while ago, and when he was resting in the inner courtyard to wipe off his sweat.

Even though many days had passed, the words that still lingered in my ears finished, a faint smile appeared on Sanako's cheeks.

Qingdeng probably didn't expect it either... His words at that time could give such a big encouragement to Zuo Nazi.

That's right, I really don't have the talent of Tachibana-kun...but as long as I persevere and work hard, I can also create outstanding achievements in martial arts that will not lose to anyone!

Sanako took a deep breath.

The heart is full of pride and ambition.

I can't wait for a pair of wings to grow on Fen's back, fly back to the dojo quickly, and continue to practice martial arts hard.

It's just that at this moment, Sanako suddenly felt his brain, recalling the past uncontrollably.

After recalling the words that Qingdeng said that day, I began to involuntarily recall the scene I accidentally saw that day...

Half-fruited Qingdeng...almost no fat, just a muscular upper body...

"..."

Sanako pursed her lips lightly, closed her eyes tightly, bent the index finger and middle finger of her right hand, and repeatedly tapped on her forehead with the second joint of her two fingers like knocking on a wooden fish.

"This kind of picture...is there anything worth recalling...?"

On the one hand, he muttered to himself in a scolding and angry tone, and on the other hand, he used tenacious willpower to force himself not to recall this "obscene" picture.

When his mind calmed down a little bit, Sanako shook his head vigorously a few times, then, holding the wooden naginata, he quickly returned to the dojo without stopping any longer.

Returning to No. 1 Field, and setting up a posture in the middle of the field, when he was about to practice again, Zuo Nazi suddenly heard the familiar heavy footsteps coming from the door.

Following the prestige, the elder brother's figure came into view.

"Brother, you are back."

The "secret meeting" between Chiba Shigetaro and Chiba Tamonshiro tonight has just come to a successful conclusion.

As far as the result is concerned, the meeting between the two brothers tonight still produced some meaningful results, and it was not a waste of time and money for drinks.

The two reached an unanimous consensus on the proposal of "when the fireworks are set off tomorrow night, they both find excuses to leave, leaving enough space for Qingdeng and Sanako to be alone".

Chiba Shigetaro, who was exhausted, stood at the door of the dojo, and cast a surprised look at Sanako in the arena.

"Huh? Zuo Nazi. It's so late, are you still practicing martial arts?"

"Well. I'm in good physical condition today, so I want to stay in the dojo for a while longer."

"That's it..." Chiba Shigetaro laughed, "Although practicing martial arts diligently is a good thing, you should pay more attention to rest."

"Brother." Zuo Nazi said helplessly, "I'm not the kind of layman who doesn't even know the principle of 'combining work and rest'."

"Hahaha, it's good that you know what's in your heart. That's fine, then I won't bother you anymore, you can practice with peace of mind!"

After leaving these words, Chiba Shigetaro turned around and strode away.

"Da da da" climbed the stairs leading to the second floor, and when he was about to return to his room——

"Jotaro."

The voice of his father Chiba Sadakichi came from beside him.

"Huh? Father?" Chiba Shigetaro turned around, facing Chiba Dingkichi who appeared beside him suddenly, with his hands behind his back expressionlessly, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Shigetaro, you... come with me."

"Huh? Uh...where are you going?"

"Come to my room, I have a question for you."

"Question? Well...I see..."

Although he didn't know why, Chiba Shigetaro obediently obeyed the order.

He and Chiba Dingkichi walked through several corridors and came to the old father's bedroom.

As soon as the legs were crossed and the buttocks settled on the tatami, Chiba Shigetaro asked first:

"Father, do you have any questions to ask me?"

"It's not a serious question." Chiba Dingkichi said lightly, "Sanako has always been in a good mood recently, and he practiced martial arts very diligently. So I want to ask you about this change in Sanako , do you know what's inside?"

"Huh? This... I don't know too well..."

"You don't know..."

"But having said that, Sanako has been really hardworking recently! I just saw her practicing naginata in the No. 1 field!"

Having said that, Chiba Shigetaro let out a sigh of emotion.

"Although I don't know why Sanako is so hardworking all of a sudden...but it's a good thing! Sanako has been stuck in a bottleneck recently. If she works hard at this stage, she might be able to break through the current bottleneck in one go! Reached A new realm!"

"..."

"I just hope that Sanako can maintain her current state. She has never lacked talent! If she can maintain her current momentum and work harder, it shouldn't take long for her to reach new heights. !"

"..."

Chiba Shigetaro, who spoke more and more vigorously, straightened his back.

"Given time, Sanako might become a warrior Ji who can be famous in history!"

"..."

Compared with the excited Chiba Shigetaro, Chiba Sakakichi has been showing a completely different expression since just now.

He didn't say a word, his expression was solemn...

...

...

Little Chiba Sword Gym, No. 1 field——

——No... I still feel that the movement is not smooth...

Sanako frowned slightly, staring at the naginata in his hand thoughtfully.

——Obviously, I have followed my father's instructions... What is it that I still haven't done well...?

—Go ask your father again...

Sanako, who decided to ask his old father for more advice, walked quickly towards Chiba Sadakichi's bedroom, holding the naginata again.

As soon as she came to the door of the room, she was surprised to find Chiba Shigetaro's voice coming from the room.

--Um? brother?

Sanako stopped outside the room and blinked suspiciously at the closed door in front of her.

——Why is the elder brother in the father's room?

Although it is not clear why Chiba Shigetaro appeared in his father's room, but out of politeness, Sanako decided to wait a while before visiting.

However, at this moment——

"Father, you said 'Zanako can't do it'... what do you mean?"

Chiba Shigetaro's exclamation passed through the door and clearly reached Sanako's ears.

He suddenly heard his own name... This made Zuo Nazi's delicate body stiffen.

Subconsciously, she stopped and listened, and then heard a whisper... like thousands of thunder roaring in her ears.

"That's the literal meaning. Zuo Nazi can't do it. She can't become a Ji warrior who can be famous in the history of martial arts. Her achievements... can only stop here."
