(That indescribable difficult day has finally passed.,Sigh.,I'm interesting enough yesterday.,Look at you.,I haven't asked for anything yet.,Click,Collection,Recommend,Dog food or something,How much to come!ヽ(o'dish′o)?)

"Are you pirates?"

As soon as the red-haired boy named Edmund said this, the atmosphere became a little strange.

Aramis, who was absent-minded, suddenly became serious, his body involuntarily straightened, and his right hand subconsciously rested on the handle of the scimitar, staring at Edmund, his eyes flickering.

Ah Jin and Wallon were not unfazed, and their faces and expressions changed as soon as Edmund said this.

For the four of them, the identity of the pirates was a secret, but they did not expect to be casually revealed by a stranger, and William's inspiring speech by the campfire that night was still in their ears, and it was a grand blueprint for a young and energetic teenager full of illusions about the future, and anyone who tried to stand in the way was their enemy.

The first step of William's plan is to take advantage of the opportunity when his identity has not been exposed for the time being, accumulate himself, improve his ability, and prepare for the future sea, if the identity of the pirate is revealed now, it will undoubtedly add many twists and turns to the plan of the group.

But none of the three of them made a move, they were all waiting for William's instructions.

In fact, after Edmond's question, William's heart also had a sudden shock, but he was calmer than Ah Jin and the others, smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Of course not, otherwise how could Mr. Koshiro agree to let us enter the dojo to study?"

"That's right...... "I heard you're from out of town, and I hope you're pirates or something." ”

William smiled and walked with Edmund to the dojo, and asked, "Isn't it possible that you have to ask everyone who comes from other places to study?"

Edmund nodded generously, and then said: "But there are not many people from other places, and many of them can't bear the hardships of learning swords, and they may leave after ten days and half a month." ”

There was a false alarm, and behind the two, Aramis rolled his eyes, and Ajin, who had always been steady, pouted involuntarily.

The Ichishin Dojo occupies a large area, and Edmund and the four of them walked slowly, chatting while introducing the environment.

After chatting for a while, Edmund forcibly picked up the topic he had just picked up at the gate of the dojo, and asked the four of them with a little encouragement and expectation: "Why don't you ask, why do I expect you to be pirates so much?"

Aramis and Ajin didn't bother to pay attention to him, but Wallon was more honest, and when he heard this, he asked honestly, "Yes, why do you want us to be pirates?"

When Edmund heard this, he pretended to clear his throat, puffed up his chest and belly, and obviously looked complacent that he couldn't hide, but he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was confessing a secret, and said: "Actually, I am also a pirate. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that William and the others' expressions had not changed at all, of course he didn't know that the four people in front of him were real pirates, so he gave a strange "huh" and asked curiously: "Why aren't you surprised?"

"Surprised," Aramis grinned and mocked, "We were so surprised that we didn't react, and what was even more surprising was that this dojo still houses pirates?

Edmund choked on a moment, and said a little hesitantly, "This...... Actually, I haven't been out to sea yet. ”

"If you don't go to sea, you're a pirate, you're just a bandit, okay!"

Edmund turned his head away from Alamis, but his face was a little confused, and his ears were faintly red.

William waved his hand at Aramis to stop him from continuing to quarrel with Edmund.

Aramis shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly, put his back on Edmund and William, stretched out his index finger and gestured at his temple, and quietly grimaced at Arkin and Wallon, still silently speaking.

Looking at the action, it is supposed to say "fool", but Aramis mouth-style says "Wallon".

Wallon was furious and glared at Aramis viciously, but the latter didn't care.

On the other side, William eased the atmosphere and said, "There are also many adventure stories about pirates in our hometown, and many of my peers are clamoring to become pirates. ”

When Edmund heard William mention the story of the pirate's adventures, he trembled again for some reason, and instantly put the unhappiness he had just done to the back of his mind, leaving William at a loss of what to describe him.

Big heart?

"I guess a lot of the stories you've heard are made up," said Edmund with some smugness, "My father is a real pirate, and he told me a lot of adventures and published books about his own experiences!"

After speaking, Edmund's expression became unusually heavy, and he continued in a very dramatic solemn, aria-like tone: "I, but the son of a pirate!"

William's expression stiffened a little, he turned his head away, and asked politely, "Is your father still supposed to be a pirate now?" ”

“…… You probably haven't heard of it," Edmund was silent for a moment before he said, "He hasn't heard from him for years." ”

The smile on the corner of Alamis's mouth narrowed a little, and the atmosphere became slightly dull.

"Maybe it's the Great Voyage, and many of the pirates in the adventure stories want to go there. William said, but for some reason he remembered Denton, who begged for mercy.

"Maybe. Edmund smiled reluctantly.

Several people came to the training ground, and yesterday they saw Koshiro's beard, a middle-aged man named Pattinson was organizing students to practice swordsmanship, and after seeing William, he frowned and said, "Why is it so slow!"

He turned to look at Edmund and reprimanded him unceremoniously, "You're telling the newcomer about your soon-to-be-known pirate status?"

There was a burst of eating laughter, and Edmund raised his chin, seemingly dismissive of Pattinson, only to notice from behind that his ears were red again.

Aramis had been sneering at Edmund before, but he was upset at this time, of course he didn't dare to color Pattinson, so he blushed his face and glanced around at the students who were watching the show.

Fortunately, Pattinson didn't say anything more, and he explained and demonstrated the basic skills of swordsmanship to the students, which was a process of learning for new students and reviewing for old students.

After repeating the practice for a while, Koshiro also came to the training ground, and after supervising for a while, the crowd was divided into groups, and the senior brother who had studied for a long time was studied and instructed in detail, while he and Pattinson patrolled the training ground together, one to supervise this group of fun-loving young people, and the other to prevent the disciples in charge of teaching from teaching the wrong movements and essentials.

William, Alamis, Akin, and Wallon were naturally a group, and it was Edmund who was responsible for instructing them in the basics of swordsmanship.

Although his previous performance was very unreliable, he was very serious and serious when he instructed swordsmanship, and the logic of his speech was relatively clear, first he demonstrated the method of holding the knife one by one, body posture, footwork during battle, distance judgment and other techniques, and then talked about the essentials of breathing, and after Akin, Aramis and Wallon had a general concept, they patiently explained the decomposition of the movements to him in detail, and although William had a certain foundation, he didn't mind interacting with the knowledge in his mind to verify it.
