Chapter 35: The First Job

In the blink of an eye, Saturday arrived.

"Sakura-chan, let's go, huh, haven't you chosen your clothes yet?"

Today is the day to make an appointment with Senior Sister Aoki and report to the Aoki Pavilion, and I have already greeted my father in advance about this matter.

Yesterday, Yanagi suddenly remembered that he had promised Sakura Kobayashi to take her to the Aoki Pavilion with him, so Yanagi Yuanhe got up early in the morning, and after the exercise, he asked Sakura Kobayashi if he wanted to go to the Aoki Pavilion with him to interview for his first job.

As a result, he was sitting in the hall bored, waiting for Sakura Kobayashi to choose the clothes to wear this time to Aokikan, and he had been waiting for half an hour.

"Yuan Hejun, don't worry, I'll be fine right away, right away. Sakura Kobayashi's words came from the room.

After about half an hour, Sakura Kobayashi finally came out of her room, wearing a light yellow dress, and it was obvious that she was wearing makeup on her face, after all, she was a little girl, and she had no experience in makeup before, in Yanagi Yuanhe's opinion, this makeup might as well be without makeup.

"You're still wearing makeup?" said Yanagi Yuanhe, not very happy.

Now his feelings about Kobayashi Sakura are more complicated, between the two of them there is both the casualness of classmates, and the intimacy of an unmarried couple, from the perspective of Yanagi Yuanhe, there is also a little bit of looking at his daughter and juniors, and finally there is still a sense of guilt in Yanagi Yuanhe's heart, all kinds of messy feelings are mixed together, making Yanagi Yuanhe often feel a little embarrassed when facing Xiaolin Sakura, and sometimes he doesn't know how to face this little fiancée.

That's why he was so unhappy when he saw Sakura Kobayashi putting on makeup - what kind of makeup did he wear at such a young age?

"Don't you like my makeup?" Kobayashi Sakura originally jumped out of the room happily, but when Yanagi Yuanhe asked him, his mouth immediately pouted.

"You're already beautiful, what kind of makeup are you wearing?" Liu Shengyuan said dissatisfied.

Xiao Lin Sakura, who was in a low mood all of a sudden, heard the latter sentence, of course, the focus was on the half sentence of 'You are already beautiful', and the mood that had fallen down immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.

"But this is going to the kendo hall of Aoki's senpai, Aoki's senpai is very beautiful. ”

"What does it matter to us whether she's beautiful or not?" asked Yanagi Motohe, strangely.

"Well, okay, okay, just this time, next time I won't wear makeup. Sakura Kobayashi happily hugged Yanagi Yuanhe's arm: "Let's go, let's go, we're late." ”

Looking at Sakura Kobayashi, who was inexplicably happy again, Yanagi was dragged out of the door by her in a daze.

"Yanagi-kun, Sakura Kobayashi, you're finally here. "When I came to the Aoki Pavilion, Aoki Ema was already waiting at the door.

"Well, Aoki-senpai, we're here. Is my uncle here?"

"Daddy was waiting for you inside, and he told me to come out and greet you. Let's go inside. With that, Aoki Ema led the two of them towards the kendo hall.

Yanagi Yuanhe has already been here once, but Kobayashi Sakura has not been here, she looked curiously, and suddenly heard a loud shout of 'ha' from a room in front, Aoki Eima turned around and explained to Kobayashi Sakura: "Now there are two kendo classes practicing, and the room over there is a beginner class, mainly teaching the basic routines of various kendo, wait until Yanagi meets my father, I will take you around to see and visit." ”

In the director's office inside the Aoki Pavilion, Yanagi Motokazu and Sakura Kobayashi met with the owner of the museum, Aoki Yuki.

"Ahh Seeing his daughter leading the two into the office, the owner of the Aoki Pavilion hurriedly walked out from behind the desk, led everyone to the sofa in the corner of the office, and let Yanagi Motokazu and Kobayashi Sakura sit down, Aoki Ema went to pour tea, and Aoki Curator sat on the sofa opposite them.

"Last time your father talked to me, Liu Shengjun, your father has agreed to let you come to us as a teacher, but before we sign the contract, I will send a contract to show your father, after all, you are not yet fifteen years old, and this kind of contract also needs the approval of your guardian. Liu Shengjun, what do you think of our conditions here?"

"Uncle Aoki, you're welcome, you're already the best kendo gym I've ever seen (it's the first official kendo gym he's ever seen), but, Uncle Aoki, what does the teaching here do? I don't have any experience teaching others to practice kendo. Yanagi asked.

"Haha, do you think that our teaching here is to teach kendo lessons to others?" I don't even know how many kendo gyms there are, but in RB, all kendo gyms are managed by the RB Kendo Federation, and we kendo halls not only provide enlightenment education for lovers who learn kendo, but also hold kendo awards every year, and all official genres and kendo halls that have obtained business qualifications must send representatives to participate in this competition。

If a kendo gym like Aokikan sends a representative to perform too poorly in the competition, it will even be disqualified by the RB Kendo Federation from opening the kendo gym and prohibit misleading children.

Every year in October, the RB Kendo Federation has a national evaluation, and our Aokikan last year and the year before were rated B, because we lost points in the actual kendo competition in the past two years, and Yanagi-kun's swordsmanship is the most unique actual combat swordsmanship I have seen in recent years, and I hope Yanagi-kun can strengthen our Aokikan in this regard.

Uncle to tell you the truth, please come to our kendo gym, I don't expect you to teach everyone kendo etiquette, basic types, basic routines or something, how many such people are in our Aoki Pavilion.

Uncle is hoping that you will take our Aokikan's kendo to the next level. Aoki Yukimi picked up a cup of tea and saluted Yanagi-kun: "Yanagi-kun, you can't drink alcohol in the kendo hall, so Uncle will use tea to honor you." ”

"Uncle Aoki, I still have to go to school, so when do I need to come to the kendo gym and how long do I need to take classes?"

"Ha, Yanagi Shengjun, Uncle hired you as a guest instructor and special instructor of our kendo hall, you don't have to care about this little thing at all, you can choose your own time two or three times a week, just give our internal students here a special guidance class in kendo, as for whether you can come or not. However, the conditions for exercising here are much better than at home. Anyway, every day when you practice sword at home, it is better to come to Uncle to practice, Uncle can ensure that no one disturbs your practice, of course, if you are willing to open the sword practice time for people to observe and learn, Uncle can also pay another observation fee. ”

"Can I use a real sword when I practice?" asked Yanagi Motokazu, who was now using the famous sword that Chairman Takagi gave him when he was exercising, Washyuki. After getting used to this sword, it is a little too light to use it, and when practicing with a real sword, the feeling of wielding a long knife and talking to the wind brought by a real sword is clearer than the feeling of using a wooden knife.

"Well——, if you want to use the real sword, you should be able to use it, but if you want to use the real sword for training, you have to use our special practice room. This is because the state stipulates that real swords are not allowed to be used in the kendo hall for teaching, and if it is a sword above the preservation level, it cannot be held and used without a special license, is the sword used by Yanagi Jun's cultivation at the preservation level or above?"

"Uh, I don't know. "Yanagi Yuanhe really hasn't understood the rules in this regard.

"Swords above the preservation level, according to the laws of RB, are considered murder weapons equivalent to firearms, and the user must have a special license issued by the government to possess and use a sword above the preservation level, but Yanagi-kun's sword should not be at the preservation level, otherwise the person who sold you the sword will remind you to go through the formalities. Aoki said with a smile.

"This ——,Uncle Aoki, if you want to go through the formalities, where should you go to handle it?" asked Yanagi Yuanhe, a little embarrassed. Although he didn't know what level of sword Shixue was, in terms of Yanagi Yuanhe's feel, 'Xixue' was much smoother, sharper, heavier and tougher than ordinary swords, and from these characteristics, the level of Shixue would probably not be lower than the preservation level.

"Hey, Yanagi-kun, is your saber a preservation grade famous sword?" Aoki Yukimi was taken aback. RB There are indeed a lot of famous swords above the preservation level in China, but there are not so many that they can be seen everywhere, and many katana collectors have collected swords for a lifetime, and there is no sword above the preservation level.

There are several ways to classify RB swords, and generally according to the sharpness and toughness of the sword, they can be divided into one keto, two ketones and more than three ketones. Among them, "keto" refers to the human body, one ketone means that after the sword is cast, when the sword is tested, it can cut off a person's body at once, and two ketone means that it can cut off the body of two people with a sword, and so on. Of course, it is impossible for modern RB to let people test the sword with a living person so savagely, instead it is to use grass to roll into a cylinder to replace the human body, it is said that the difficulty of cutting such a cylinder is similar to the difficulty of cutting the human body, if you can break the table with a sword, it means that the sword belongs to a keto sword and above, and only a katana with a three-ketone sword or more can be called a preservation level. (During the RB Warring States period, it was true that a living person was used to test the sword, and there were often samurai who obtained a good sword and would just grab someone on the side of the road and cut it alive to try the sword.) )

"I don't know, but it's probably preservation-grade. Yanagi didn't dare to say with complete certainty.

"Ha, then when you bring the sword, you must let the uncle appreciate it. Yukimi Aoki said with a smile.
