Swordsman?

Kitahara Shuji's waist couldn't help but straighten up two points, remembering Yukiri's words relayed by her mother - a first-class drunkard, a second-rate swordsman, a third-rate doctor, a fourth-rate cook, and a fifth-rate husband.

The second-rate swordsman in the mouth of the wife? Although it is a joke between husband and wife, if you can put the swordsman in front, you must have some strength.

However, he felt it carefully for a moment, but he didn't find that Fukuzawa Naokaka had a fierce aura on his body, which was completely different from the temperament of the ronin swordsman in the meditation battle - isn't it ordinary strong, and has reached the point of returning to the basics?

Seeing that he was thoughtful but didn't answer, Fukuzawa Naokaka couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Don't you understand?"

Kitahara Shuji straightened his posture and said politely, "Please advise." "The so-called learning is endless, and it is never ashamed to ask if you don't understand.

Fukuzawa pointed to his head and said with a smile: "Swordsmen have to use their brains, Kitahara-kun! There are so many people in this shop, the third girl has a knot in my heart, and she won't come to me, so besides you, who do you think will knock on the door?"

Kitahara Shuji stalked between his chest and abdomen in one breath, and he felt chest tightness for a while-he also thought that this middle-aged uncle was so strong that he had a sense of qi, secret skills, etc., such as flying flowers within ten meters, and falling leaves could be heard, it turned out that he just raised a bunch of salted egg daughters, and none of them were polite.

This is really speechless! But then he has some sympathy, and it is not easy to have such a group of daughters.

"Just kidding, Kitahara-kun, come, please use it!" Looking at his appearance, Fukuzawa Naokaka laughed, holding the wine bowl and signaling to drink together. Kitahara Shuji picked up the wine glass and took a look, and found that the wine was very cloudy, with many green cotton wool-like objects floating in it, and there was a faint light, making the whole bowl of wine glazed, and seeing that Fukuzawa Naokaka had dried up, and was closing his eyes and intoxicated, he also took a sip.

The taste is sour and astringent, but then the tip of the tongue begins to be sweet again, and it lingers for a long time, and it feels a little similar to Chinese sake mash - probably this is what cloudy wine refers to, and the rice wine is not filtered and distilled after liquid fermentation, and there is a residue in it.

I heard that children used to drink this thing as a drink, and it really didn't have much degree.

He took a shallow sip, mostly for the sake of politeness, a person like him who is strict and self-disciplined is generally not interested in tobacco and alcohol, but Fukuzawa Naokaka likes it very much, and closed his eyes for a long time before saying: "Can you get used to drinking? It's a pity that I can't entertain you with sake, and the eldest daughter only allows me to drink this now......"

Kitahara Shuji put down the wine bowl and said politely: "It's not flavorful, it's not bad." As he spoke, the look on his face became more sympathetic - does your bully eldest daughter even have to take care of you? You are really miserable, but I guess she is not crazy enough to beat you, and it is still the unluckiest of those little ones.

"It's good to like it. Fukuzawa Naokaka seemed to be very interested in chatting, and added some more to him, and asked with a smile: "By the way, has Kitahara-kun also practiced swordsmanship?"

"I've practiced for a while. Kitahara said very vaguely.

"Which dojo is it in? I heard the second daughter say that Kitahara-kun's swordsmanship school is very mixed, and she has practiced in many dojos?"

"No, it's all self-taught by books. ”

"Self-taught?" Fukuzawa Naokaka looked a little more serious, his figure was much taller, and he asked softly, "What books are they?"

Kitahara Shuji casually reported the title of the book, such as "Five Wheel Books" and the like are modern prints, although it can't be said to be a bad street, but it's definitely not a secret that is not passed on, and there is no need to hide it.

Fukuzawa Naokaka nodded slowly while listening, and finally listened to him finish, and after pondering for a long time, he slowly asked, "Is that all?"

"Yes, Mr. Fukuzawa. ”

Fukuzawa Naotaka looked confused, and muttered to himself after a while, "Am I really not even a good teacher?"

Kitahara Shuji didn't know why, and called softly, "Mr. Fukuzawa?"

Fukuzawa Naokaka came back to his senses, poured himself another drink, and said with a wry smile: "Kitahara-kun is really talented, enviable......" He paused, looked at Kitahara Shuji carefully, and said, "Kitahara-kun can defeat the eldest daughter, this is not surprising, although the eldest daughter is competitive, but she is an untalented child, at least in the way of swordsmanship, even if she works hard, she will not be able to achieve anything commendable in this life, but I didn't expect you to beat the second daughter, except for being a girl, I always thought that she was the most perfect result in my life, but I didn't expect it." ……”

In the end, he was a little confused, and slowly shook his head, and Kitahara Shuji instinctively said modestly: "Actually, Miss Yukiri's strength is much better than mine." Mr. Fukuzawa, she only accidentally got a slight advantage, if you try again, I won't be necessarily Ling Ai's opponent, you are too serious. ”

Fukuzawa Naokaka still shook his head slightly, "No, Kitahara-kun, I asked you in detail about the fight with the second daughter, although she said it a little upside down, but I can hear that Kitahara-kun is powerful, why I say that...... Does Kitahara-kun know how long the second daughter has been practicing swordsmanship?"

"This ...... Not very clear. ”

"Eleven years and two months, since I discovered her talent, I have carefully taught her eleven years and two months, and Kitahara-kun has surpassed her with only a few books to teach herself—I'm afraid self-study only started when she was a teenager, right? Is it more than three years?"

Kitahara Shuji hesitated for a moment and shook his head lightly - it's not a lie, he has actually only been practicing for more than a month now, and it really hasn't been more than three years.

It's just that this involves the greatest secret of his life, and he really can't tell the truth to outsiders, so he can only have a face full of apologies.

Fukuzawa Naokaka looked at him silently, with a complicated look in his eyes, and finally said softly: "Less than three years of self-study is comparable to my teaching for more than ten years, and it is really enviable to have talent!" When he said this, the loneliness on his body became even stronger, and his face was yellow and blue-gray, as if he had suddenly aged several years, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "I am a person with no talent, that is, an incompetent person, I have achieved nothing in this life, I really envy a talented person like Kitahara-kun, which makes Kitahara-kun smile." ”

As he spoke, he touched the flask and wanted to pour it, but Kitahara Shuji reached out and pressed the flask, and said softly, "Mr. Fukuzawa, I'm sorry, please don't drink anymore." ”

This Fukuzawa Nataka looks like he has two sips, but he doesn't know if he was born with a bad amount of alcohol or if he is too weak now, or if he has drunk a lot just now, and this cloudy wine that is not even as good as beer feels a little drunk - he said that he has no talent, so at least from the drunkard's side, he really has no talent.

Fukuzawa Naotaka has a good temperament, perhaps because of many major failures in his life, he has no sharpness at all, and he wanted to drink but was stopped by the young man Kitahara Shuji and didn't get angry, let alone take the opportunity to go crazy, but sighed and let Kitahara Shuji move the wine jug aside.

He was silent for a while, then turned around and took out a white envelope from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Kitahara Shuji, and said softly: "Don't say these decadent words, it's not suitable for a young man like Kitahara-kun who is just going forward, let's get down to business...... Kitahara-kun is here to resign, right? This is the employer recommendation that was said before, and there is a little severance pay, which is not much, please don't refuse. ”

Kitahara Shuji hesitated for a moment, took it with both hands, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fukuzawa." "It's time and effort to mingle with smart people, and if it weren't for my daughter being too asshole, it's actually a pleasure to work here.

"Apologize to you again on behalf of my daughter, Kitahara-kun. Fukuzawa Naokaka changed to a main seat and bowed his head deeply.

Kitahara Shuji hurriedly returned the salute, bowed his head and said: "You are too polite, the politeness bothers me a little, Mr. Fukuzawa, please don't do this." ”

He is also a soft and not hard character, others respect him, he will return the favor, Dongmei's parents put their posture so low, and most of the resentment in his stomach is directly eliminated.

After all, Fukuzawa Naokaka is old, and it is rare to have such a posture, so he raised his head and said regretfully: "I originally hoped that Kitahara-kun could become friends with my daughter, the eldest daughter has a bad temper, and she has no friends since she was a child, but the enemy has memorized more than thirty pages." Kitahara-kun is the same age as her, but he is dozens of times more mature and stable than her, and his strength is better than her in all aspects...... I'm sorry, this is a little selfishness of my father, I originally hoped that Kitahara-kun could sharpen her temperament, let her know something good, and maybe she could find her advantages after getting along for a long time, so that she could also have the friendship of her peers, but ...... What a shame. ”

Kitahara Shuji owed a debt and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for disappointing Mr. Fukuzawa's expectations." "He really didn't find any merit in the little radish head, and he felt that she was a powder keg, which would explode at a moment. No, most of them blew themselves up without waiting for a while, like a psychotic - unreasonable, savage, impolite, uneducated, cautious, willful...... She has the same shortcomings that all human beings can have, and it is simply a textbook negative example.

"It's me who has no way to teach her daughter, so she is too stubborn. "When she was young, I was overly obsessed with my own things, and I didn't care much about her, and I was always disciplined by her mother, and her mother was a very, very gentle lady, and she couldn't be strict with her, but it was okay then, and there was still a restraint, but when her mother was gone, she became more eccentric, and when I wanted to discipline, I didn't know how to talk to her...... It's all my fault. ”

Kitahara Shuji owed himself again, and didn't say anything - there was nothing to say, when the father scolded his daughter, it was inconvenient for him to give a thumbs up and say, "You are so right, your daughter is a bastard"!

In that way, no matter how good Fukuzawa Naolong's temper is and how generous his temperament is, it is estimated that he will turn his face and beat him.

And Fukuzawa Naokaka also stopped talking, and it was too late to say anything now. He can also understand Kitahara Shuji, who meets a guy who has nothing to do, or the employer's daughter can't stand it - as soon as the eldest daughter and Kitahara got into a fight, the fourth and fifth came to tell the whistle as soon as possible, but he didn't care, and the young people sharpened each other, which made the fourth and fifth very disappointed.

He asked softly, "Is Kitahara-kun ready to leave directly?"

"I can wait until I find someone new. "It's Kitahara Shuji's character to do things from beginning to end, not to mention that he is really a conscientious boss in front of him, even if he doesn't want to breathe the same air as the little radish head, he is willing to endure it for a few more days.

Fukuzawa Naotaka smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of canceling their alternate vacations, but thank you Kitahara-kun." It's also fate that we met once, and I boasted that I was barely half an elder of Kitahara-kun, so I have to think about this parting gift......"

Kitahara Shuji hurriedly stopped: "I've been taken care of by you for a long time, please don't bother." ”

This person is so particular that his heart is faintly shaken, and he begins to feel a little ashamed of hitting the little radish head - at least he shouldn't have beaten so hard, that guy is estimated to spend the next four or five days learning with his face.

This is very powerful to overcome rigidity with softness, so that not only is he not the slightest bit of temper gone, but also as if he has done something wrong, if he is really a good fighter, he has no outstanding merit.

"It's not anything of value, just a little care. Fukuzawa Naokaka turned around and rummaged through the bookshelves for a while, pulled out two thread-bound books and handed them to Kitahara Shuji, "If you don't dislike it, please accept this, so that I feel better." ”

Seeing that it was Shuji Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief, things with low prices were acceptable. He took it gently, thinking about how to repay this favor - the annoying little radish head is not counted, if Xueli encounters any trouble at school, he can help, I think this middle-aged man also has such a meaning, try to help the eldest daughter dissipate her anger, don't really become an enemy, and by the way, let yourself take care of the second daughter as much as possible.

Alas, it is difficult for him to have these troublesome daughters.

But he felt that the father in front of him was a little too careful, Xueli probably didn't encounter any trouble, it would be good if she didn't hit others like that, and no one could bully her - fortunately, she was a good-natured girl, if it was the temper of the radish head, she would have become a school bully.

After thanking him, he looked at the cover of the paper-bound book, and was suddenly slightly surprised - "Ono Yidaoliu Mystery Solution", "Rigid Body Technique", or handwritten calligraphy, the pen is like a sword, and it is fierce and compelling.

That's not right!
