Chapter 83: Peak Kendo Duel

UDX Building, 2nd floor, Akihabara Plaza Lounge.

While Kimura and Tree were meditating, Muraoka Xingxia was holding his mobile phone at this time, nodded and said, "I will... Rest assured, President, there will be no problem with this comic show. I promise, rest assured, it will be an absolute success, and the promotion of "Legend of Swords" will also be on the agenda! ”

When Muraoka Xingxia put down his phone, his face darkened, and he scolded, "How can it be repaired!" Yuma Tsukahara is really a guy who doesn't believe in his word, and he agreed to come over today, but he sent me away with a word? ”

Today's comic show event in Akihabara Square is held by the Seiki Club, and the reason why it's free is for "Sword Legends". The Qingji Club is just a new company that has been established for a year, and the main direction is light novels. "Legend of the Sword" is the first light novel adapted and adapted from animation by the Qingji Society, and it won the second place in the annual work of "This Light Novel is Really Powerful" in 18 years.

Although the reputation of "this light novel is really powerful" has dropped a lot in recent years, netizens and readers have complained about "this shady scene is really powerful" and "this newcomer is really powerful" and so on... But "this light novel is really powerful" is very famous in Japan, both in the industry and in terms of readers.

"Legend of the Sword" can become the second in the ranking of the annual works, and it is naturally a popular work. Last year's manga adaptation has been completed, and it has received a warm response, and this year's animation adaptation project has been put on the agenda and is expected to be launched in July.

And this free comic con is naturally for "Legend of the Sword", which can be regarded as a warm-up promotion. Originally, Muraoka Xingxia was going to hold a kendo competition at the booth. In order to do his best to promote "Legend of the Sword", he invited Yuma Tsukahara of the Tsukahara family and Ono Nakaqing of the Ono family.

You must know that these two people were the top ten in the youth group of last year's Asahi Kendo Tournament, and they are extremely famous in the kendo world, as long as they know kendo, they will not be strangers.

As a result, Yuma Tsukahara's guy can't talk about it today, and if he had said it earlier, he wouldn't have been so angry... The activities started, and I called him to tell him that he couldn't come...

Anxious, he called the president and wanted to ask the president if he knew any powerful kendo masters, but he was noticed by the keen president, and after understanding it, he drenched the scolded dog with blood, so that now he is also angry and has nowhere to spill.

"Brother-in-law... Tsukahara must have had a hard time, he messaged me on his phone and told me that his grandfather told him not to come, saying what kind of body he was to show up as a swordsman, and then locked him up. Ono Nakaqing sat on the sofa, drinking the Fat House Happy Water in his left hand, and reading the message with his mobile phone.

"What era is it, and the swordsman is not allowed to show his head!?" Muraoka Xingxia picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, he also received a text message from Yuma Tsukahara, and his face softened, after all, there is a valid reason, it is better than no reason. And it was indeed a force majeure factor that Yuma Tsukahara didn't come, thinking about it, he said indignantly, "Isn't Yuma Tsukahara participating in the kendo tournament also showing up?" ”

"The Asahi Kendo Tournament is different." Ono muttered in a low voice, "And if it weren't for my brother-in-law, I wouldn't have come." Daddy has always taught me that swordsmanship is the art of killing, and the sword needs to see blood! If it's used for performance..."Before he finished speaking, he saw his brother-in-law look at him coldly, making him smile and not say any more.

"Have you ever killed chickens since you were a child?" Muraoka Xingxia said disdainfully, "Returning the sword is a killing technique... Why didn't you play with a real knife when you played? Why didn't you see anyone bleeding at the Asahi Kendo Tournament? Your father is an antique, how can you follow the second second. ”

Ono Zhongqing kept silent, he couldn't compete with his brother-in-law in terms of tongue. And he also felt that what his brother-in-law said had some truth.

Seeing that Ono Nakaqing stopped talking, Muraoka Xingxia also sat on the sofa and said with a sad face, "Do you know anyone who can rush over..."

"Brother-in-law, you've already asked this question just now. Even if they have time, aren't your activities about to start... Time simply ran out. ”

"Really..."Muraoka Xingxia rubbed his head, looking a little flustered. He looked at the time and there were still ten minutes, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhongqing, you have to help your brother-in-law with this favor." ”

Then Muraoka Xingxia said that he had a plan, and Ono Nakaqing panicked, "No... How can you cheat! Brother-in-law, you said that I came here to fight against Yuma Tsukahara..."

"Alas... If you don't, I'll be fired by the president. I'm in my thirties, and if I'm fired, chances are I won't be able to find a job. If you can't find a job, Yuki is going to live on the streets with me... And your four-year-old nephew......"

Ono was speechless.

In the end, Ono Nakaqing agreed, and he only hoped that his father would not know about it.

Ten minutes later, Muraoka Xingxia stood under the empty exhibition stand, looked at the dense crowd of people below, and secretly said in his heart, the popularity of "Legend of the Sword" is really strong, and this popularity can't be smashed in his own hands.

"Welcome to the comic exhibition held by the Youth Season Society..."Although Muraoka Xingxia spoke at length, his voice was not hurried, but it attracted many people to come.

The main reason, of course, was that a banner was pulled on the exhibition stand.

[Peak kendo duel! ] The winner will receive a prize of 150,000 yen. 】

This was just hung up, so many people saw this banner and ran over to watch it curiously. It's all too rare to hold a kendo competition at a comic con.

“… Everyone knows that "Legend of the Sword" is a light novel about the major famous weapons of the Warring States period that have been handed down to modern times, and then turned into a human body because of their magical powers, and fought in the city. Or fight for people, or fight for organizations, or fight for ideas, each famous instrument has a different concept and belief... That's why Legend of Swords has been so successful. ”

"And the "Legend of the Sword" animation youth season club has begun production, and will meet you in July. This time, the comic con is a warm-up for publicity, so we also invited Ono Nakashi, who finished eighth in the youth category of the Asahi Kendo Tournament last year, to be the champion and you to be the challenger. If you beat Ono Nakasei in the ring, you can get a prize of 100,000 yen! ”

As Muraoka Xingxia's voice fell, Ono Nakaqing walked up from under the booth.

"It's... Cos's Muramasa? ”

"It's too similar, and it's so handsome!"

"The quality of this Cos is no one, and I heard from the host that he is still a ranked player in the kendo competition?"

"It seems that this trip was not in vain!"

It is undeniable that Ono Nakaqing's appearance is excellent, with a white and black uniform, and wide cuffs that have an elegant temperament as he walks. Wearing a high-quality wig on his head, long black hair, a shawl down, carrying a bamboo knife, just standing on the exhibition stand without saying a word, there is also a gentleman's atmosphere as warm as jade.

But the Demon Knife Village itself is known as a symbol of "bad luck". Therefore, Ono Nakaqing's temperament and the ominous reputation of the demon knife completely show the ambivalence of Muramasa in the novel.

In an instant, the sound of clicking photos from the audience was endless. Some of the girls even screamed, apparently fascinated by Ono Nakaqing's handsomeness.

Looking at Muraoka Xingxia from the side, he took the microphone and said excitedly, "So... Who will be the first to take the stage? ”

Muraoka Xingxia's voice just fell...

"I'll do it."
