3: Duel!

【128】

However, it's okay to compare, and just let her see that the people in this world are not much different from the people in the middle of Dou Po.

Therefore, Shi Qi didn't think about it, so he said directly: "I promise."

"Then come with me!" Kumiko Akimoto smiled, turned around, and walked towards the dueling arena.

After seeing it, Shizaki smiled and slowly followed, and Sakurako Uei, who was at the back, shook her head helplessly, and could only follow.

She didn't want Tokizaki Kuzo to try something with Kumiko Akimoto, because these were meaningless things.

Or is it that as her retainer, she actually went to compete with the other party without her consent, is this too much to take her seriously?

However, now that she has agreed, she naturally won't talk about her in front of others, so she can only wait until she has completed the duel.

And if she loses, she's not just about her.

……

After a while, the two arrived at the location of the duel, and after Kurumi Shizaki saw it, he just wanted to say that it was still as simple as ever.

Although it is said that this is a dueling arena, but, in fact, it is just a wooden platform, and then, some yin and yang formations that Tokizaki Kurumi didn't understand were added around.

Therefore, Kurumi Tokizaki thinks that the platform made by this wooden stake should be pretty stable now.

Because, she didn't know what these yin and yang formations were.

Whether it was to strengthen the dueling arena or not, she didn't know.

And as the two of them stood on the top of the dueling arena, the dojo disciples who were originally wandering around the dueling arena were also attracted by the two.

……

"Who knows who the person who fought the duel with Kumiko Akimoto was?"

"I don't know, is it a new student?"

"Probably not, the new student, it shouldn't have arrived yet."

“……”

……

Listening to the discussion below, Kumiko Akimoto looked at Kumiko Akimoto, it seems that in this branch, she should be considered a celebrity, otherwise, how could there be so many people watching the excitement?

Umii Sakurako looked at the two of them helplessly, and said with a disgusted face, "You two, give me some ......"

"Got it." Shizaki Kurumi smiled, and the Qiu Li sword instantly appeared in his hand.

"This is your weapon, it's weird!" Kumiko Akimoto glanced at Kuzo Tokisaki's weapon and said softly.

"Really? I call it a sword, and it's not the same as your sword. Kurumi Shizaki touched the blade of Qiu Li's sword with his hand and said lightly.

"Is that so?" Kumiko Akimoto nodded, pulled out the big sword on her waist and said, "Although I'm not a demon sword girl, don't underestimate me, otherwise you will suffer a big loss."

"I would never underestimate anyone, otherwise, I wouldn't be alive until now." Shi Qi nodded and said directly.

"Now, the world can't be discolored, otherwise, we can solve her directly." Kurumi Tokizaki tried to use it for a while, but found that it was not useless at all.

"Forget it, even if you don't use this, you can solve her." After Shizaki Kurumi finished speaking, a light blue gas instantly appeared on the blade, and he slowly surrounded Qiu Li's sword in the middle.

"Here we go." After Kuzo Tokizaki finished speaking, the person moved with the sword, and the tip of the sword stabbed directly into the heart of Kumiko Akimoto.

"So fast!" Kumiko Akimoto looked at the tip of the sword that was constantly expanding in the pupils of her eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim, and then, the big sword in her hand slashed directly at the blade of Tokizaki Kurumi.

However, when the blade slashed at Kurumi Tokisaki's blade, it could only make Kurumi Tokisaki's blade deviate a little to the right.

"How come, so much strength?"

"If you don't get serious, then you're going to lose the next blow." After Kuzo Tokizaki felt the power coming from the blade, he couldn't help but say to Kumiko Akimoto.

At the same time, she was also a little disappointed in Kumiko Akimoto, if she was so capable, then it would be too disappointing for her.

"Hmph......" Kumiko Akimoto snorted coldly, the Taidao in his hand, raised high above his head, and his footsteps instantly took half a step forward, between his feet and feet, forming a lunge, and then, the big sword slashed directly at Shizaki Kuzo.

However, it was very easily blocked by Kurumi Shizaki with the Qiu Li sword.

"You can't even slash the most basic, so let's practice a lot." Shizaki Kuzo shook his head in disappointment, easily swinging the big sword in Akimoto Kumiko's hand to the side, and then forcefully, a sword slashed into the big sword in Akimoto Kumiko's hand.

"Ahh

I only heard Kumiko Akimoto let out a scream, and then the big knife in his hand was thrown directly to the ground, and even Akimoto Kumiko's hand holding the big sword trembled for a while.

"How is this possible?" Listening to the sound of the blade entering the sheath, Kumiko Akimoto couldn't help but say.

"Nothing is impossible, you can't even slash the most basic, how can you win me?" After Shizaki Kuzo finished speaking, Qiu Li's sword instantly appeared in his hand, and then, just slightly pressed down, a sword like a substance appeared in front of Akimoto Kumiko's eyes, and slashed down.

"This ......"

"Moreover, you have too little actual combat experience, and you will only attack with all your strength, but you will not leave any spare strength, so you will just leave more flaws." After Shizaki Kurumi finished speaking, he left the dueling platform directly and said, "You, let's practice slashing more, otherwise, you won't make the slightest progress."

"Slash, slash ......" Kumiko Akimoto looked at the big sword that fell to the side, slowly stretched out her hand to pick up the big sword in her hand, and left the dueling arena to the other side.

……

On the other side, Kurumi Tokizaki, who was following Sakurako Uei, suddenly heard Sakurako Uei say, "The next time you duel with someone else, please ask me my idea first?" Luckily. ”

"I see." Tokizaki blinked his eyes and didn't argue with Uei Sakurako, because, since he became someone else's retainer, when he naturally went to do something, he had to talk to the other party first.

"There will be no next time."

"I see." Shizaki Kurumi smiled, next time, next time, she must find a similar level of the other party to give it a try.

Kumiko Akimoto is just too weak......

……

After returning to the dormitory, Sakurako Uii said to Kurumi Tokizaki, "From now on, you can live next to me."

Sakurako Uei pushed open the door of a room, walked in and said, "It's a little simpler, but that's the way it is."

"I understand." Shizaki Kurumi smiled, even the dojo was shabby, and she didn't expect how good this place to live would be.

"Well, then you can rest first!"

"Hmm!" Shizaki Kurumi nodded slightly, although this dormitory is simple, but, no matter what, there is a place to live.

However, although it is simple, there are books that should be there, and even things that are most needed now.

Therefore, living here is also in line with her wishes.

After Sakurako Uei left, Tokizaki Kurumi smiled slightly, sat down on the ground on his knees, took out the books in the bookcase, and began to read.

With the fall of one book after another, Kurumi Tokizaki can be regarded as having some understanding of Heiankyo in this different world.

And this world is even more broken than she imagined, because, in the entire Heiankyo, almost, there are monsters everywhere.

It can even be said that in this world, it is not that humans are exterminating monsters, but that monsters are raising humans in captivity.

And, if there is a holy place in this world, then it should be Heiankyo.

However, this security is only relative, because, in Heianjing, there are also many big demons.

It's just that this group of big demons won't kill people indiscriminately, but when they kill people, they are more ruthless than anyone else.

So, it can be said that there is no safe place in this world.

If these were not enough to make the human race scramble, the eastern part and the road to Heiankyo were evil, and the country of the hundred demons attacked all the cities in the eastern part and Heiankyo, so that the road between the eastern part and Heiankyo was completely cut off.

It can be said that if people living in the east want to go to Heiankyo, then they can only rely on their own skills and luck.

Because, if you are unlucky, you can't have the strength. Because, on this road, maybe a big demon will pop out at some point.

……

"There's only news from the east, but that's enough." Tokizaki smiled, and after reading the book introducing Heiankyo in the bookcase all night, Tokizaki Kurumi couldn't help but lie on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

However, he didn't sleep long before he was woken up by Sakurako Uei......

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you haven't woken up until now, so let's see if something is wrong with you?" Sakurako Uei approached the room, sat down in front of the table with her legs folded, and said softly.

"That's right, it's just that I read the book too late last night." Shizaki sat down next to Sakurako Uei with his legs folded and said.

"Oh." Sakurako Uei nodded, took out the tea set on the table and said, "How did you survive when you were in Tanba Kingdom?"

"How can you survive, it should be said, half is luck." After hearing Sakurako Uei's question, Kurumi Shizaki said helplessly, after all, these are all made up by her.

"Half luck?"

"Well, in the country of Tanba, all of them are covered by fog, and the big demons in it are countless, if it weren't for luck, I would have died in the hands of the big demons of the country of Tanba several times."

"Moreover, in Tanba, there are even a lot of humans who collude with youkai, so, in Tanba, if youkai are cannibals, then the people who live in Tanba are even more demons who eat people and don't spit out bones, and they are even more hateful than youkai."

"Why do you say that?" Sakurako Umii asked puzzled.

"Didn't I say that? Because, they are colluding with the monsters, so, as long as someone from another village steps into their village, they will directly report the big demon, so, the result, I don't need to say it, right? Tokizaki Kurumi looked at Sakurako's tea-making technique and nodded slightly.

Although she doesn't know how to make tea, hasn't she ever seen a pig run and never eaten pork?

"So, how did you get out?"

"Run, no, I never believed in them, and although I'm not a master, I still have no problem dealing with some ordinary villagers."

"Moreover, although they are still human, they eat the raw flesh of humans like youkai, so when I saw them, I tied them all up, and by the way, when I left, I eliminated them all."

“……”

"Okay, is there anything else you'd like to ask me?" After Kurumi Tokizaki drank the tea, he asked Sakurako Uei.

"There's nothing more to ask." Sakurako Umii shook her head and didn't ask anything more.

"So, is there anything else?"

"Yes." Umii Sakurako thought for a moment and said, "Can you let me see your sword again?"

"Sword?" Shi Qi nodded his head, the Qiu Li Sword contains the supreme concept of Taoism, naturally, it is very attractive to this group of cultivators.

"It's okay to show you, but you can't touch it with your hands." Kurumi Tokizaki said.

"Okay."

After Shi Qi heard this, Qiu Li's sword appeared in his hand. After unsheathing the sword, a light purple starlight enveloped the entire sword.

"It's so pretty." Sakurako Uei said to Kurumi Tokizaki, "What material did you make this sword from?"

"This sword is not mine, but I got it in Tanba, so I don't know what kind of material she forged from." Shizaki Kurumi shook her head, but although she knew that Qiu Li's sword was bronze, what exactly was it built for.

"Is that so?" Sakurako Uei nodded, didn't say anything more, but looked seriously at the Qiu Li Sword in the hand of Kurumi Tokizaki.

……

I don't know how long it took before Sakurako Uei said to Kurumi Tokizaki, "Take back your sword."

"Hmm."

"Another thing is that in three days, I estimate that I will go to the mountains to hunt the souls of some monsters, so you can go with me then." Sakurako Umii said.

"I see." Hunting youkai?

Shizaki Kurumi couldn't help but smile, the soul of a monster can be exchanged for a lot of things.

Although she doesn't need it now, it doesn't mean she won't need it in the future.

I just don't know what Magatama that Sakurako Uei is talking about.

After so many days of understanding, Kurumi Tokizaki naturally knew that the common currency of this world was gold coins, not Magatama.

Moreover, in these books that introduce geography and wild history, there is no introduction to Magatama.

So, Kurumi Tokizaki is now full of curiosity about what this Magatama is for.

However, she can't just ask people, because, in this way, maybe something will be exposed.

Now, if she wants to know something, she can only check it out for herself.

"Well, you can prepare yourself, and in three days, we'll go." After Sakurako Uei finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and said to Kurumi Tokizaki: "Although your strength is good, some necessary communication is still needed, for example, making tea......"
