Today happens to be the day when Shiyu and Ying Lili make an appointment to work together on a new volume of illustrations.

But after painting for a while, Ying Lili suddenly threw down the paintbrush and said with a disgusted face.

"I said Qian Shiyu, can you not show such a stupid smile, it's like a disgruntled girl! Disgusting to death! ”

Shi Yu glanced at her contemptuously.

"The taste of love, a certain golden retriever dog will not understand."

"Uh...

Ying Li pear was instantly pierced in the heart, and the negative emotion +1+1...

But is Shiyu the one who lets go of the provocateur so easily?

I saw her set her eyes on the undulating hills of Yingli pear? on, with a look of pity.

"And with your figure, I'm afraid you won't be able to taste love for the rest of your life, it's pitiful...

Poor, pitiful...

English pear: _| ̄|○

Ying pear pear was mended, and negative emotions ran wild. . .

English pear: (╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

"Qian Shiyu! I will die with you! ”

Not to mention how the pear was served by Shiyu with a full set of shrimp and pork heart.

On the Shinkansen bound for Kashima City in Ibaraki Prefecture, Qian Chen looked at the scenery speeding by.

With those who loved him and those he loved standing behind him to support him with all their might, what reason was there to fail?

Thinking of this, Qian Chen subconsciously touched the imperial guard hanging on his chest, and he seemed to be able to feel the temperature on Shi Yu's body.

"You seem to be happy."

Miss Aoi, who was sitting next to him, said in a tone of incomparably sure.

Qian Chen shrugged.

"No way, that's the power of love."

"Ahem!"

Miss Aoi, who was fed a face of dog food, hit Qian Chen's forehead with a knife with her backhand.

"A 16-year-old kid knows what love is? Besides, can you get married now? ”

Qian Chen: _| ̄|○

Piercing people's hearts all day long, being pierced back today, try to ask heaven how to reincarnate, who the sky spares.

Syllable!

At this moment, Miss Aoi threw a large stack of materials in front of Qian Chen.

"What is this?"

Qian Chen asked curiously as he picked up the information.

"This is the most likely trial-related information I found after investigating the history of Kashima Shrine, little ~ brother!"

Miss Aoi said angrily.

"Ahem!"

Qian Chen pretended not to hear anything, picked up the information and looked at it.

"Tsukahara Buden..."

Seeing an unfamiliar name, Qian Chen couldn't help but read it.

Then the life deeds of a woman who seemed to be hanging appeared in front of him.

As a foreigner, Qian Chen only knew Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro, and the two became famous in a battle because of the Battle of Yanliu Island.

However, these two people are actually only two of the most famous in Japanese history, but they are not the strongest.

It can be seen from the name of Miyamoto Musashi.

People call him the Great Sword Master, not the strongest Sword Master!

Throughout the history of Japan, there have been many swordsmen, and there are only two people who are truly worthy of the title of Sword Master.

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna... and Tsukahara Bubiography.

The former is the apprentice of the latter.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tsukahara Buden can be said to be the number one swordsman in Japan.

The life story of this big guy is even more like a film.

Participated in the Death Halberd Nineteen Times, the Ordinary Halberd Countless Times, and the United Halberd Single-handedly Counted Multiple Opponents 37 Times, but none of them were defeated!

(Halberd of Death: A cruel halberd unique to ancient times, where the winner can take the life of the loser.)

Combined Halberd: Many-to-many, one-to-many halberds are allowed. ）

There are more than 20 historical celebrity chefs who have lost under him, and there are even more unknown people.

When it comes to culinary arts, the jury is still out on who is number one in Japanese history.

But when it comes to knife work, Tsukahara Bu is the second, and no one dares to call it the first.

According to legend, she defeated Miyamoto Musashi, who used the second knife flow, with only the lid of the pot.

This internal information from IGO speculates that Tsukahara Buden's knife work is likely to have reached the level of a heavenly king.

The more Qian Chen looked at it, the more he felt nonsense, but this was IGO's internal information, and there was no possibility of falsehood.

And Kashima Jingu is the place with the deepest connection with this big guy.

Her father was the presiding officer of Kashima Jingu.

The first school of knife work she learned was Kashima Jingu's unique naïve incense and Shinto stream.

And she also completed the thousand-day trial in Kashima Jingu, and finally realized the supreme meaning of sword work-Ichinotai Sword.

In addition to the ethereal Kenyu Thor, Tsukahara Buden is the most likely boss related to Kashima Jingu's special chef promotion trial.

What kind of trial will it be?

Qian Chen began to look forward to it.

Bite!

- Released the main quest: Special Chef to advance to the trial.

- Objective: Complete Kashima Jingu's 'Trial of a Thousand Spirits' and successfully advance to the rank of Grand Chef! (Note: This task is extremely difficult, please be prepared)

- Reward for mission success: 20 free talent points, a purple kitchenware, and a purple random recipe!

Rich money wants to shout at the reward!

But Qian Chen also knows what kind of personality his own system is.

If you want to get something, you must pay something, and from then on the so-called equivalent exchange.

The generous rewards directly illustrate the difficulty of the task.

Kashima City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a quiet town facing the Pacific Ocean, full of natural beauty.

Affected by the ocean currents, the temperature difference here is small all year round, and the oncoming wind actually makes Qian Chen feel a little warm.

Cross the street and walk on the ramp that leads to Kashima Jingu, where towering trees begin to appear on both sides of the road.

Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, but they are rarely visited.

Suddenly, the view widens, and a torii gate with a height of 4,5 meters leaps into view.

"We're here."

Qian Chen looked up suddenly, and there was a prompt from Miss Aoi beside him.

Passing through the large torii gate, the breath of nature becomes thicker and thicker.

Towering trees more than ten meters high can be seen everywhere, and this shrine hidden in the deep mountains and old forests is like an ancient painting, slowly unfolding its long-standing vicissitudes for Qian Chen.

There are hardly any tourists here, and occasionally you can see a figure wearing a shrine maiden costume walking through the forest.

"Guest, do you need help?"

A crisp voice came from the side.

Qian Chen subconsciously looked at it, and a witch was already standing beside them silently.

"I already have an appointment with Yoshikawa beforehand."

Miss Aoi said.

"Please come with me."

With that, Miss Shrine Maiden took the lead and walked towards the depths of the shrine.

Arriving at a secluded temple, the shrine maiden walked up to the wooden verandah, sat down on her knees, and knocked on the wooden door.

"Host, your guest has arrived."

"Come in."

A dull voice came.

Miss Miko opened the paper door, revealing a somewhat dark scene inside the hall.

A row of palm-sized windows opened in the side walls, and sunlight shone in through the holes, forming a neat row of light spots.

And this exhaust window is the only source of light in the temple.

Then there was a faint light source, and Qian Chen saw that the wooden floor was empty, and there was only a 4-meter-high statue of the god directly opposite the gate.

On the left-hand side is a row of weapon racks, and on the right-hand side there are two humanoid objects hidden in the shadows, which appear to be two red-painted bodies.

Just when Qian Chen was puzzled, the black shadow in front of the statue suddenly moved!
