Chapter 35 The Old Man of the Hundred Bird Family
"This should be it." Under the dark night sky, Kotaro walked through the bustling streets to a residential area, stopping outside a house with the word "Hyaktori" on the wall.
Through the fence, Kotaro glanced into the courtyard and didn't see half a figure.
"Ding Dong!" Kotaro rang the doorbell, but no one came to open the door, so Kotaro had to ring the doorbell a few more times, and the voice of a middle-aged woman came from inside the house.
"Here we are."
The middle-aged woman walked out of the house, walked to the iron gate in the courtyard, opened the door, and looked at the strange old man in front of her in surprise.
"Hello, may I ask if this is a hundred birds?" Kotaro asked politely.
"Yes, may I ask who you are?" The middle-aged woman wondered.
"Oh, my name is Kotaro Higashi, can you tell him to come out for a while?" Kotaro asked with a smile.
"Okay, you wait a minute." The middle-aged woman nodded, closed the iron door, and walked back into the house.
Inside, a middle-aged man and an old woman with reading glasses are sitting at a dining table full of sumptuous dinners.
"Jian Yijun, did the doorbell ring just now?" The old woman in the white coat said in a somewhat old and weak voice.
"Yes, sister, I've already told Reiko to go outside and have a look." The middle-aged man smiled, a faint wrinkle on his face.
The middle-aged woman walked into the house, walked up to the middle-aged man and said, "Jian Yijun, there is an old man outside who claims to be Kotaro Higashi looking for you?" ”
"Looking for me?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised at first, and then felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, "Higashi Kotaro? How does this name feel so familiar? ”
"Kotaro-kun! Is Kotaro-kun back? As soon as the old woman on the side heard the words "Higashi Kotaro", her emotions immediately became excited.
"Oh, I remember!" The middle-aged man was suddenly a little happy, and his mind instantly recalled the memories of his youth, "Could it be that Brother Kotaro is back!" ”
"Quick, Jianyijun, go outside and have a look." The old woman put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, leaned on crutches, and walked out of the house excitedly, and the middle-aged man hurriedly supported her.
"Reiko, hurry up and open the door!" The old woman walked to the door with some stumbling steps, and hurriedly ordered a middle-aged woman named Reiko to open the iron door.
"You are ......" Kotaro stared at the old woman in front of him, and immediately saw the shadow of the old man when he was young from the old woman's old face, "You are Saori?" ”
"I'm Saori, you're ...... Kotaro-kun! The elderly Saori said excitedly, a look of surprise on her wrinkled face.
"Yes, I'm Kotaro! Saori, I'm back! Kotaro nodded and said excitedly.
"You're finally back, Kotaro-kun!" Saori said happily.
Shifting his gaze away from Saori, Kotaro turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was supporting Saori on the side,
"Are you...... Build a gentleman! ”
"Mmmm, Brother Kotaro, long time no see!" Kenyi, who had already entered middle age, nodded with a smile.
"Brother Kotaro, this is my wife, Reiko." Kenichi pointed to the woman beside him.
"Hello, Mr. Kotaro!" Reiko said to Kotaro bending slightly.
"Hello!" Kotaro returned the salute.
"I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for decades, Saori, you are also old, Jian Yijun has already entered middle age, married a wife and had children, time really flies so fast!" Looking at the two old people in front of him who had been devastated by the years, Kotaro sighed with emotion.
"Yes, Kotaro-kun, you're old too, only your smile is still as bright as when you were young." Saori also said with emotion.
"Don't talk about it yet, it's windy outside, come in quickly! Kotaro-kun! Standing by the door for a long time, Saori hurriedly took Kotaro's hand and entered the house.
"You may be seated." Saori brought Kotaro into the table and sat down, and said with concern, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Kotaro-kun. ”
When Saori asked this, Kotaro's stomach did start to growl.
"Reiko, bring a bowl of rice to Kotaro-kun." Hearing the sound of Kotaro's stomach growling, Saori instructed Reiko.
"Okay." Reiko nodded, took the dishes and chopsticks from the cabinet, filled a bowl of rice, and put it in front of Kotaro.
"Please take your time, Mr. Kotaro!"
"Thank you!" Kotaro nodded at Reiko and devoured it.
From hurriedly boarding the ship bound for Tokyo in the morning, Kotaro has not eaten for a day now, and the most important thing is that Tairo is still in his body, and Tairo, who was physically and mentally tired from patrolling the galaxy for a long time, has long been hungry.
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Looking at Kotaro who was gobbling up, Saori reminded with concern.
"Sure enough, it's still the same as before!" Ken Yijun looked at Kotaro with a smile and said.
After eating five bowls of rice, the dishes on the table were eaten cleanly.
"I'm full, thank you for the hospitality!" Touching his bulging belly, Kotaro thanked him.
......
In mid-air, Firth flew parallel to the ground, and immediately rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, the frequency of rotation increasing rapidly, and finally formed a red spiral tornado, whistling straight towards a towering mountain.
"Boom-" With a loud bang, the tornado drilled out of the mountainside, directly drilling out a huge hole, and then the entire mountain peak collapsed with a bang, and the ground was filled with smoke and dust, and the scene was very spectacular.
This is a skill that Smith once taught him, and Firth named it "Spiral Assault".
After drilling out of the halfway up the mountainside, Firth slowly slowed down the rotation frequency, returned to the normal flight state, stopped in the air, looked at the scene of the collapse of the mountain peak on the ground, and said with satisfaction: "It seems that my spiral assault has made great progress, I believe that as long as I practice a skill every day and improve a little bit every day, my combat skills will definitely be greatly improved after a month!" ”
He remembered the first time Smith taught him this skill, and Smith had told him that there was no limit to the power of this skill, and that the faster the rotation frequency, the more powerful it was, but the greater the pressure on the body.
At that time, he could only spin in the air ten times per second, but now he can reach twenty times per second, which is more than double the power of that time.
Firth landed on the ground, feeling a little dizzy in his head, and hurriedly sat down on a rock.
"Sure enough, it's risky to spin too fast." Firth muttered.
"Forget it, that's all for today's practice, I need to take a break!" Firth gasped, a little tired.
