Chapter Eighty-Eight: Training
Yagami's arrival and return did not make any waves in the bar, and it should be said that no one in the entire bar would know him except Claire.
Life is still going on peacefully, although Colonel Seaton has no tendency to issue any tasks, but Claire, who has always refused to relax at will, still intensifies her training every day, and her training intensity has been greatly strengthened by Claire herself. Because judging from the battle in this martial arts conference, Claire felt that although she could beat most people, in fact, those were not popular martial artists, and Claire, who was persistent and competitive by nature, naturally felt resentful, so she stepped up her training later.
However, after the finals, this guy stalked Claire and asked Claire to teach him martial arts. Since there was an appointment in advance, Claire, who had no intention of repaying the debt, directly agreed, and it was not particularly exhausting to instruct Koijiro how to train.
As a result, in the streets and alleys of Tokyo, the cleaners who get up early to sweep the streets will see a strange sight.
A tightly wrapped young man ran expressionlessly, holding a detector-like object in his hand. In front of this man was a young man who looked younger.
I saw that the young man's face was flushed, and many things could be seen from his expression: tired, tired, uncomfortable, and so on. The strange duo ran through the streets every morning before dawn, and whenever the young man running in front of him was too tired to run, the indifferent man behind him would not hesitate to poke the things in his hand directly. Immediately, the man in front of him would twitch, then gritted his teeth and ran.
This duo is naturally Koijiro and Claire! Ever since Koijiro asked Claire to train him, Claire, as a master, did not hesitate to come up with hellish training methods to train him.
After this kind of high-intensity devil training on the first day, Koijiro fell directly to the ground, drenched in sweat, and even vomited out his hand to gasp.
After Claire saw his appearance, she said with no expression on her face:
"Tomorrow to continue."
After hearing this, Koijiro's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Claire with difficulty, and his expression was clearly saying: Are you kidding me?
However, Claire didn't change her tone at all, just said a word lightly, and walked to the bar without looking back, leaving the stunned Koijiro in place.
"Do you want to avenge your mother?"
That's right, Claire, who accepted Koijiro as her first apprentice, naturally won't fail to figure out the apprentice's family background, as a highly skilled agent, but one day, Claire learned about the situation of Koijiro's family, which is actually a family tragedy.
Koijiro's mother was a piano teacher, and her gentle temperament and beautiful appearance matched her profession really attracted many suitors, and among these suitors, rich and high-ranking officials abounded.
However, Koijiro's mother was fresh and refined, and chose a rolling mill worker who was not high-status, not handsome, and could only support his family as her husband.
The man was naturally ecstatic and worked harder, but the good times did not last long, and after marrying Koijiro's mother, the man always felt that he was awesome, so he drank and bragged at the dinner table with his co-workers every day, and soon spent all the family's savings.
Koijiro's mother, who couldn't stand his bad habits, filed for divorce, and Koijiro was only 9 years old at this time. After filing for divorce, the man quickly agreed, so Koijiro's mother, who wanted custody of the child, lived separately from him. Unexpectedly, less than a month later, the man came to the door again to ask for money for wine. When this kind of thing happened too much, Koijiro's mother quarreled with him, and eventually, the quarrel turned violent. Koijiro's mother suffered a blunt force injury to the head during that conflict and collapsed in a pool of blood, and 9-year-old Koijiro watched as his mother lost her breath and his biological father looked angry.
His biological father was naturally imprisoned, but Koijiro, who already had a shadow in his heart, planted the seeds of hatred in his heart, and his growth process was very bumpy, so he was so eager for strong strength.
So the next day, when Claire walked to the door with the training equipment on her back, she found a thin figure standing there with a straight body, who else could there be if it wasn't Koijiro?
Time passed slowly in sweat and pain, and four months were buried in the long river of time in the blink of an eye.
In the past four months, Claire, who has superb bartending skills, has attracted many customers to the bar, and the facilities in the bar have gradually improved, and the staff has also increased. However, during this period, the suppression of other bars was naturally indispensable, but without Claire's action, Koijiro, who was instilled with fighting skills by Claire every day, was enough to deal with those gangsters who were looking for trouble. Soon, the surrounding thugs never made trouble again after finding out that the bar was not easy to mess with.
Yagami-an, who appeared by chance last time, also came twice in the past four months, and once Yagami-an actually brought a violin, and then a melancholy, lonely violin song sounded throughout the bar, and it was really like crying, Claire couldn't help but record it and play it on a loop as the background music in the bar.
At the beginning of '95, as the temperature gradually dropped, the snow on Mt. Fuji spread to Tokyo, and all of a sudden, white and silver covered the colorful city, making the whole city look very clean.
It's dusk and sunset, and it's time for the bar, which has always been open during the day, to close, and Claire is sitting very leisurely on the luxurious sofa that has been transformed, playing the FC game "Contra" with a controller. It's strange to say that in addition to the games created by SNK, the people of this world have also developed a large number of games in Claire's original world, such as Snowman Brothers, Adventure Island and the like.
Just when Claire was about to get through the final boss with extremely skillful techniques, a phone rang suddenly, which immediately made Claire's hand shake, GAME OVER. And this life is still the last life.
So, Claire, who had a gloomy face, slowly took out her mobile phone and checked the caller ID on it - Boss Fox.
Claire, who was helpless, could only hold back her anger and answered the phone with a frown:
"What's the matter?"
Colonel Seaton on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said lightly:
"Please quickly meet at the new base camp."
