Akechi Mitsuhide's analysis completely shattered a trace of luck in Nishino Nanase's heart, making Nishino Nanase sad and resentful.

hate, hate why Qianye failed his heart again; hate, hate why Nanami Hashimoto snatched away his master; Hate, hate why he is so useless and dare not show his heart to Qianye.

Nanase Nishino's heart was gnawed by a poisonous snake, and an emotion called jealousy took over her thoughts, and the expression on her face became dark. Tears rolled down Nanase's face and shattered to the floor.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at such Nishino Nanase, and put his hand on Nishino Nanase's head with some heartache, silently comforting her.

Nanase Nishino raised his head with teary eyes, looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, and asked sadly, "Father, why?" Why doesn't he like me? Why did Nanami snatch her master's love? ”

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Nanase Nishino and said to her seriously, "If you like someone, you have to fight for it, Nanasa." If you really like Chiba-sama, why don't you take his love back? ”

Nanase Nishino looked at Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes and asked puzzledly, "To rob it?" But how do you ......?"

"Whether it's love or the world, if you don't fight for it and wait passively, you won't get anything." Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Nanase Nishino seriously, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone: "I attacked the Shincho Hall that day, knowing that I would be burdened with the infamy of the next gram, but I still did it, Nanasai Do you know why?" ”

"Father?" Nanase Nishino looked at Akechi Mitsuhide at this time, and didn't understand why he would bring up the old things of four hundred years ago.

"Because you can't know the result until you do it." There seemed to be a flame burning in Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes, like a fire that burned Honnoji Temple: "If you don't do it because you're afraid, you'll never get the result you want." There is at least half the chance of success if you do it, and even if you fail, you will not regret it. Because when you look back, you can say that you did your best. ”

Nanase Nishino seemed to feel the momentum on Akechi Mitsuhide's body, looked at him a little overwhelmed, and asked, "Father, how should I go...... For? Nanase Nishino finally made a decision in her heart, and her eyes became firm.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Nanase Nishino, who was getting serious, and smiled with relief.

————————————————

Standing in front of the Taisha here, Nishino Nanase still had some apprehension in his heart.

Although according to the guidance of Akechi Mitsuhide, Nishino Nanase decided to attack head-on, but when it came to the end, Nishino Nanase still somewhat flinched in his heart.

"Na-chan, what are you doing standing here?" Takayama Kazumi patted Nanase Nishino on the shoulder, making her tremble: "Didn't you say that you were going to come to Chiba-san to study?" Why are you standing at the door? ”

"Nothing!" Nishino Nanase hurriedly shook his head, smiled at Takayama and said, "Aren't you waiting for Kazmi." ”

"Thank you! Na-chan. Takayama said happily to Nishino Nanase: "But there's no need to wait for me, it's just a matter of one or two steps, so let's go in now!" After saying that, Takayama Ichimi pushed Nishino Nanase into the main shrine.

"Na-chan, why did you suddenly think of coming to this Taisha to study with Chiba-san? Still bringing me along? Takayama asked Nanase Nishino as he walked.

"I'm scared alone, I'll feel more at ease with Kazmi, you're with me." Nanase Nishino smiled at Takayama Ichimi, but vaguely understood Takayama Ichimi's question, took Takayama Ichimi's arm, and walked towards the underground dojo of the Taisha here.

Takayama Kazumi did not doubt that he had him, and he was pulled by the arm of Nishino Nanase, and they came to the underground dojo of the Taisha here.

"Chiba-san, excuse me!" Takayama Kazumi looked at Chiya sitting in the dojo and hurriedly greeted him, while Nishino Nanase looked at Chiya with a somewhat complicated look, but he still saluted Chiya with Takayama Ichimi.

Seeing the arrival of the two, Qianye also nodded and said, "Welcome to the arrival of the two young ladies." ”

Qianye's consistent etiquette made Nishino Nanase think in his heart, Master, why do you call me so distant? Why aren't you called by my name? Sure enough, master, did you forget me when you had Nanamin?

Nanase Nishino's inner thoughts made her expression a little dark, which made Chiya frown and said to her, "Nanasai, what's wrong with you?" Didn't sleep well? How do you feel like you don't have any energy? ”

"No, nothing!" Nanase Nishino hurriedly shook his head, and at the same time bit his lip and thought to himself, Master still remembers me.

Nanase Nishino's strange appearance made Chiya frown, but she didn't think much about it, so she said to her and Takayama Ichimi, "Nanasai contacted me yesterday and said that you two want to come and learn from me, which is good. Because of the Kyoto incident, your new show has been getting a lot of attention lately, so it's good to improve your skills. ”

Seeing that Chiya began to teach, both Nishino Nanase and Takayama Ichimi lifted their spirits and listened attentively to his lecture.

"Nana Sai, your foundation in yin-yang art is already very solid, and you are also very experienced in the use of spells, so in general, I am very satisfied with the results you have achieved so far." Chiya's compliment made a smile appear on Nishino Nanase's face, but Chiya continued: "Your problem is mainly reflected in the lack of actual combat experience, for example, the last time you dealt with the cat and the generation, you summoned the god twice, the first time you used the Seven Star God beyond your control, and the second time you used the blood spell to summon the samurai undead, in actual combat, you did both of these things wrong. Forcibly using spells that you are not yet proficient in, and using forbidden blood spells, both of these mistakes are likely to cause more serious consequences than those two youkai can do. At this point, I hope that Nanasai can reflect on your mistakes. ”

Qianye's words made Nanase Nishino lower her head, and she also knew that she had indeed made a mistake that day, so she nodded and said to Qianye: "I know it's wrong, master." ”

Looking at Nanase Nishino, Chiya shook his head, picked up a scroll that had been prepared from his side, handed it to Nanase Nishino and said, "This is my codex, which records some experiences in the lower yin-yang technique. Although it is not as good as Qing Minggong's "Dividing Things", it can be regarded as a summary of what you have learned in your life, I hope Nana Sai you can study it attentively and don't let down your efforts in the next time. After speaking, he handed the scroll in his hand to Nanase Nishino.

Nishino Nanase took the scroll handed over by Qianye, rubbed it in his hand, looked at Qianye seriously and said, "Please rest assured, master, I will not disappoint your hard work." ”

"You go to the tea room first to familiarize yourself with the contents, and if you don't understand anything, you'll ask me later." Qianye was very satisfied with Nishino Nanase's attitude, and said to her with a smile: "Next, I will teach Kazmi kendo, it may be noisy, you will be quieter when you go to the tea room." ”

Although Nanase Nishino wanted to stay by Chiya's side more, she still followed Chiya's instructions and got up and went to the tea room.

After Nanase Nishino left, Chiya looked at Takayama Ichimi, who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Miss Takayama, I asked Miss Ikoma this question before, and now I also use it to ask you, what are you swinging the sword in your hand for?" ”

Takayama Kazumi was obviously prepared for the question that Senya was going to ask, thought about it for a while, and replied seriously: "I want to protect Na-chan for my own dreams." The last time I met a youkai, I found out that Na-chan needed someone to stand in front of her. If that's the case, I'm willing to protect her. ”

"Why does Miss Takayama have such an idea?" Because it was a formal Q&A, Chiya used the honorific title for Takayama Ichimi, and asked in a serious tone.

"Mainly because I want to protect Na-chan." Takayama thought for a moment and replied, "She's a good friend of mine, and Na-chan's appearance can arouse other people's desire to protect, and when you see her serious, you will unconsciously want to protect her." ”

Chiya nodded undeniably, stood up, picked up the two katana that had been prepared on the side, and threw one of them to Takayama Ichimi.

"In that case, draw your sword, and let me see how determined you are." As he spoke, Qianye stood up, looking at Takayama with a gaze like a falcon, and looked at Takayama Ichikami.

Catching the katana thrown by Chiya, Takayama felt the pressure emanating from Chiya's body, and hurriedly stood up, leaning the scabbard against his waist and holding the handle of the katana. Although he knelt on one knee, Takayama still took a posture of drawing a knife and looked at Qianye with a waiting.

Although Qianye seemed to be simply standing with a knife, Takayama felt that standing in front of him was a majestic mountain, so that he could not find a flaw. A drop of sweat dripped from Takayama Kazumi's forehead, and the momentum exuded by Qianye's body made Takayama Ichimi feel a pinprick on his skin, and although his right hand held the handle of the knife, the huge pressure made Takayama Ichimi not even have the courage to draw the knife. Although Qianye just stood there with a very ordinary knife, it made Takayama Ichimi's nerves constantly alert, as if once he drew his knife, what was waiting for him was a blow like thunder. It's going to die, although Takayama Kazumi knows that it is impossible for Qianye to hurt himself, but he still has this feeling.

"Didn't you say that you want to wield a knife for your dreams and to protect Nanase Nishino?" Qianye looked at Takayama indifferently, and said cold words in a cold voice: "If you don't even have the courage to draw a knife from me, it's better to give up as soon as possible." The kind of kendo trick of wearing enough clothes and hitting each other with bamboo knives, not to mention that you have practiced for ten years, even if you practice for a hundred years, your sword will not even kill the weakest ants. ”

Qianye's words hit Takayama Ichimi's heart, so that she couldn't help but grit her teeth, and her right hand held the handle of the katana at her waist, but she never had the courage to pull it out.

"Do you want to protect the people standing behind you now?" Qianye didn't seem to want to let go of Takayama Ichimi, and the hurtful words kept echoing in Takayama Ichimi's ears: "If it's a youkai standing in front of you, will you also be too scared to draw your sword?" If there is someone behind you who you want to protect, and if you can't draw the sword, you will die, and you don't dare to draw the sword? What is the difference between a samurai who does not dare to draw a sword and a waste? ”

Qianye's breath finally made Takayama Ichimi break through under pressure.

"I'm not a trash!" Gao Yama shouted, the thumb of his left hand holding the scabbard pushed the blade violently, and his right hand held the hilt, and he pulled the knife out of its sheath and swung it towards Qianye.

The friction between the blade and the scabbard made the sound of cutting through the air with the power of Takayama Ichimi, and the sword full of thoughts slashed towards Chiya with Takayama Ichimi's determination, but this knife stopped in front of Chiya.

Standing in front of the blade are two fingers.

Takayama Ichimi's knife was pinched by Qianye with two fingers, and he couldn't move an inch.

Takayama Ichimi pulled the katana in his hand hard, but it was like it had taken root, and it was firmly pinched by Chiya's two fingers.

"I lost." After a while, Gao Shan Yimiya let go of the handle of the knife and knelt on the ground.

Qianye pinched the blade and handed the handle of this knife to Takayama Ichimi, and said gently, "No, you didn't lose. Miss Takayama, when you swung this sword, you had already won. ”

Hearing Qianye's words, Takayama raised his head to look at him, his eyes revealing incomprehension.

"Not everyone can swing this knife when facing the next." Qianye smiled at Takayama Ichimi: "If you don't have enough consciousness, you are not qualified to draw a sword in front of you." And Miss Takayama, you have just made an awareness to swing this sword. ”

"But this knife can't even break through Chiba San's two fingers." Takayama had a look of frustration on his face.

Qianye smiled dumbly: "If you want to break through these two fingers, Miss Gao Shan, if you have the strength of a sword hero, you may be able to do it." But for now, don't be too ambitious, learn how to wield a knife first. Miss Gao Shan, your strength and skills are still far from Jianhao. So, Miss Takayama, would you like to learn from you? ”

Takayama looked at the handle of the knife handed to him by Qianye and the blade that he pinched with two fingers, and finally his eyes became firm, and he reached out to hold the hilt.

And in the tea room on the side, Nanase Nishino, who was standing at the door peeking at Chiya and Takayama Ichimi, smiled on his face, patted his chest, and finally put his mind at ease.

"Kazmi, she has come to her senses, and I'm going to show my own consciousness!" Nanase Nishino said to himself in a low voice, with firmness in his eyes: "Just like my father said, only by fighting for it can we have a chance to succeed." After saying that, Nishino Nanase's eyes shone with a determined light, staring at Chiya and secretly clenching his fists.
