Chapter 9: Trivialities
The noon of the dojo is quiet, because lunch is not provided, and most of the students go back to their homes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoA few students with bento boxes also sat with each other and chatted with each other.
Since it was a chat, the topic inevitably involved the person of the year in the nearest gym, Master Lan. I don't know who started first, and the content of the conversation of several people jumped from why Master Lan was so strong to how old Master Lan was.
"I think Master Lan may have a strange illness. One of the students said in a whimsical manner.
"What do you mean, I think Master Lan's complexion is normal. ”
"Listen to me first, I've heard that there is a disease that will make the sick person never grow old, and he will remain young until he dies. ”
"You're stupid at reading, man. Instead of believing such boring rumors, it is better to guess that Master Lan is the reincarnation of the Sword Saint Lan. The slightly taller student retorted with a slight smile in his voice.
"What do you say, I suddenly remembered, it seems that the sword master mentioned in the history books is also white-haired. ”
"And it's also young, so it's not like it's strong, isn't it. The student just now continued to say proudly, "You can't just think about it, how can a character from almost four hundred years ago live to the present, let alone a legendary sword saint." What's more, although Master Lan's strength is very powerful, compared to the Sword Master, it is absolutely impossible to win. ”
"We're not joking, what are we doing so seriously, but there doesn't seem to be a record of the cause of the Sword Master's death in history. ”
"Well, didn't it be said in the recent K family's game "Sword Master Gaiden" that after defeating Musashi, the Sword Master returned to his hometown, and there has been no news since. ”
Listening to the gossip of his companions, Inoue Yun, who shook his head slightly in his heart, packed up the lunch, got up and said, "I'm done eating, you continue." ”
"Why don't you sit down and talk together? ”
"No, I'll go for a walk. Inoue Yun, who made an excuse, immediately said goodbye to the small group and walked towards the courtyard outside. It's just that when he walked outside, he found Arashi sitting alone.
"Excuse me, Master Lan. They discovered each other's existence, and Inoue Yun, who was the first to speak, said hello again and sat down beside Arashi by himself.
Arashi, who was busy solving the bento, could only nod at him in response. Today's bento is made by Joan of Arc herself, adhering to the other party's characteristic 'simple and rough, large and full' military style, in addition to the taste is acceptable, it really makes people unable to find other advantages.
Inoue Yunto, who remained silent, didn't mean to speak at this time, but just kept his gaze looking forward, as if waiting for the moment when Arashi finished lunch.
"What's the matter?" Arashi asked, he just thought that there was someone sitting next to him, and watching him eat would be more unappetizing.
"It's nothing, I'm sorry, Master Lan. Inoue Yun hurriedly shook his head, probably knowing that his subconscious actions were a little abrupt, and quickly explained, "It's just that I just heard them discuss Master Lan, and I think it's more interesting." ”
"What were you talking about?" Arashi asked as a matter of course, but didn't really mean to hear it. No need to guess, he could know that it was something that didn't hurt.
"It's a boring question to discuss why Master Lan is so strong. Inoue Yun sneered, "How many years has Master Lan practiced swords?"
"It's been a long time, and I haven't calculated the specific time. Lan really didn't tell a lie, he really didn't count the situation in this regard, and all he did was swing his sword day after day.
"I've been practicing swords since I was a kid, around six or seven years old. Inoue gestured and continued, "Occasionally, I feel like I'm a bit stronger among my peers. However, after meeting Master Lan, I realized that I was sitting in a well and watching the sky. ”
"It's okay. Swallowing the food in her mouth, Arashi thought about how to comfort the lost youth, "There is no one better than me among the people I know." ”
Listening to Arashi's words, Inoue Cloud laughed, "It's really a confident answer." ”
"Maybe. In a vague tone, Arashi made a satisfied voice after eating the last of the food, "If it's okay, I'll go to bed." ”
"Please walk slowly, Master Lan. Inoue Yun, who didn't stay, just watched the other party go away.
The afternoon was spent in training as usual, and for the August competition, the trainees who gritted their teeth struggled with the ravages of Arashi. It was definitely not a pleasant experience for them. Especially after no matter how much you try, you can't touch the collar of the master, which is really frustrating.
The peak number of people in the dojo is after 3:30 p.m., and there are many younger students from nearby schools, such as high school students from Hokukuhara Academy.
But what's interesting is that Arashi found out that this dojo also teaches archery, of course, the master of this class can only be Amakusa Rokuro, and Arashi has discovered from a very early age that he doesn't seem to have any talent for things like long-range.
The busy green time lasted from three o'clock to after five o'clock, and when Amakusa Rokuro announced the end of the day's classes, everyone in the dojo dispersed.
When Arashi got home, it happened to be about half past five o'clock, and Joan of Arc, who had already prepared dinner in advance, was having fun on the sofa with Sakura Makiri, and they didn't know what the two of them were discussing, and they were both in high spirits.
"Lord Lan, are you back?" Seeing the male owner of the family walk into the living room, Joan of Arc hurriedly smiled and got up on the sofa, wearing a homely regular dress that made her look a little different.
"Well, let's eat. Arashi nodded and said a casual word, then turned and walked towards the table full of food.
Joan of Arc, who fell behind him, nodded to the shy Sakura Makiri, and the other party made a naughty grimace in return. I don't know what happened between these two people, and how quickly the relationship progressed.
And when Arashi noticed that what had changed between them was the eye contact between the two that never stopped during the meal. This small gesture, which resembles passing notes in class, makes Lan ask, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Arashi-sama, are you free this Sunday?" said Joan of Arc with a smile on her face, and there seemed to be a kind of magic in this woman, which made people always want to be close to her when they noticed her.
"What's wrong?" Arashi asked, slightly surprised, as he happened to have a vacation on Sunday. Amakusa Rokuro took great care of his personal welfare.
"When I was playing with Sakura in the park today, a parent happened to say that there was a free tour of the museum that day. Her eyes blinked slightly, and Joan of Arc's slow tone seemed to convey something.
"Oh, then you can take Sakura with you. Arashi, who didn't react, just nodded and agreed to their request. Although he felt that such a trivial matter was completely unnecessary to tell him.
"Lan-sama......" I don't know what I'm angry about, Joan of Arc puffed out her mouth, and as she put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, her long blond hair jumped briskly.
"Ernie sauce...... Let's go too. Nodding her head, Sakura was playing with her interlaced hands and said nervously.
Do you want to be with yourself? Lan, who understood their thoughts, looked at the timid appearance of the masaki Sakura, and couldn't help nodding and said, "I know, don't get up too early." ”
