The competition between Jing and Yin Rena is just a small episode, and on the second day after coming to Tsukahara's house, Yin Rena is still the same as yesterday, and can only practice according to Shangquan's practice, although the conditions are a little "difficult", but for Yin Rena, it does not delay her movements to perfectly imitate Izumi, so as to accurately steal the teacher and learn the art.

When this morning's training goal was only halfway completed, Kamiizumi said a little hesitantly while circulating the movements:

"Yin Rena...... It's your birthday in four days? ”

"Yes, I said it at the dinner table yesterday."

"That'...... Well, you're staying with us, and it's your eighteenth birthday...... So do you have any annoying or favorite ones? ”

As soon as Shangquan opened his mouth, Yin Rena knew what he was going to say.

"Ahh

From the back, it could be seen that Shangquan's ears were red and almost ripe, and before he could answer in an arrogant tone, Yin Rena said again: "There is nothing I like or hate, as long as it is a gift from everyone, I like it." You'd better hurry up and achieve the training targets, or Mr. Tsukahara will beat you again. ”

Shangquan first breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Yin Rena was not so oily and salty, and when he heard the latter sentence, he recalled the time when he was ruled by his master, so he was excited and refocused on training.

A morning is always spent like this.

Gathering for dinner at noon, Kyo can always tell a lot of regional folklore and jokes, which makes the originally deserted dinner table lively.

As for the afternoon, I don't know if it was Tsukahara's personal instructions or Kyo's independent decision, but every time at this time, Izumi would be whipped by Tsukahara himself, and Kyo would try out with Yin Rena in the old place.

The so-called "trial combination" can be used as the meaning of the competition, but the meaning of feeding is stronger.

Yin Rena felt that the most rewarding time of the day was at this time, and from Jing's varied moves, Yin Rena could see a lot of shadows of Katori Shinto-ryu, and her charm had a lot of similarities with the movements she practiced in the morning.

"Do you feel it? The Knife of the Shape teaches you to make specific moves, and only by splitting these movements into all the movements and connecting them can you be considered to have truly mastered the Knife of the Shape. ”

knocked Yin Rena to the ground, Jing just took care of himself and put away the knife, let Yin Rena get up by herself, dust off the dust on her clothes, and then like no one else, behind the slightly tattered clothes, even the wound just left, recovered in a few seconds without Jing injecting sword qi, this level of self-healing ability can make him a sword spirit unbearable.

Thinking that the day would be over, Kyo approached and handed her a small bag, the size of a fist, with the sound of copper coins hitting each other, in addition to a letter.

"The clothes on my body are already worn, and I might fall off after a few more cuts, so go to the market and buy more cheap clothes for special clothing, including Eri and Asuka's.

And this letter, Yin Reina, I don't know how you learned the Shino Tai Knife in such a short period of time, but no matter what, the bayonet sword is no longer suitable for you or is not suitable for your forehand weapon, if you really want to continue to go deep into the Katori Shinto stream, you should have a Tai Dao of your own.

This is a letter of introduction, go to find a blacksmith shop near Katori Jingu, this is the way that only knowledgeable people know, my blade is forged by their boss, the quality is very good, show him this letter, he will tailor a knife for you for free. ”

"Why......" Yin Rena didn't take the two things at once, "I'm just a person hiding here, there's no need to give me these, right?" ”

I saw Jing smile slightly: "That boss's family has only served the contemporary Sword Saint for generations, as long as the Sword Saint asks them to do it, there is actually no loss for us, you can see these as an investment in you." ”

"Yin Rena, look into my eyes now......"

The two looked at each other, and their eyes did not shy away from each other.

"Bu Chuan and I actually admit that your talent is several times better than that kid in Shangquan, but I have to state one thing in advance, with a talent like yours, it will take at least three years to completely learn all the techniques of the technique catalog, plus to integrate them, tell me, even so, do you still want to learn Katori Shinto-ryu."

Yin Rena actually has already had an answer, what about three years, there is nothing to do with herself in the Western Continent now, in order to make a strong return, she can afford to spend even ten years.

She nodded affirmatively: "I want to learn!" ”

"Then grab them and do as I was told."

"But you have to remember that, as I said before, this is only an upfront investment in you, and it does not mean that we really accept you as a disciple of Katori Shinto-ryu."

"So what should I do?"

"It's very simple," Jing turned, "I made a bet with Bu Chuan, if you can gain my approval just by imitating the type of Taidao that Kamizumi learned, then Bu Chuan will also accept you as an apprentice, and teach you the essence of Katori Shinto Stream with the same treatment." ”

"So how do you get your approval?"

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Look at my mood, maybe one day I will be sure of your efforts and strength~ In short, have a little confidence in yourself, girl!" ”

After saying that, Kyo left the bamboo forest and disappeared into the courtyard of the mansion.

And Yin Leina, who was standing in place, looked at the two objects she was holding in both hands, and her fighting spirit had quietly risen.

"Test...... Also, if you want to get the inheritance, a little test is nothing! ”

Determined to set off for Katori Shrine immediately, Yin Rena will have to ask Eri and Asukano what kind of clothes they wear and what color they like......

In the hall -

Tsukahara Buden has finished whipping Kamizumi and is facing Kyo with the tea made by Eri.

"Ha~~ is worthy of Ms. Eri, the tea art is still as good as ever!" Kyo did not hesitate to praise Eri.

"Hey, as long as you like it, there's still some housework to do, I'll go and get busy first."

When Eri leaves, only Tsukahara and his sword spirit are left in the huge hall.

"I'm just saying it's right to take them, right? Eri is so capable, Asukina is so cute, and there is a genius who can be called a demon, a bumper harvest~"

"What a bumper harvest, they still have to go back to Yuuki's house, unless Yuuki Eito, the guy who was dazed by women, was guillotined by their family's open faction."

"Well...... Either way, at least Yin Rena can stay. ”

"Roar~" Tsukahara was surprised: "She decided to learn Katori Shinto?" ”

"Yes, yes, I asked her, and the little girl answered very affirmatively, now we have a successor, and the probability that the bastard boy in Shangquan can soak in Yin Rena is also a lot greater, after all, he is a brother and sister of the same family."

Tsukahara put down the teacup and waved his hand slowly: "Don't jump to conclusions so early, although I'm also worried about whether the pure-minded guy in Shangquan will be able to find a wife in the future, but that little girl is definitely not a dish he can take, there is a flame of revenge in her eyes, it is impossible to keep up with Izumi who lives with us, the unruly Haiyan will eventually go to the ocean and the storm, and return to the place where it should fight...... Speaking of which, how's the preparation? ”

Kyo gave a thumbs up: "Although I didn't go into details, I think she will like it, the entrance gift and birthday gift that the two of us gave her......"

-------------------------------------

Although Katori Jingu and Tsukahara's home are both in Katori City, neither the family nor the village below the mountain has horses to use to hurry, so Yin Rena can only transform into a yellow little barbarian and fly all the way over.

It looks round and round, and it doesn't fly fast, but it's actually quite fast, similar to an eagle when gliding, compared to a small bat that is suitable for short-distance running, it's more suitable for long-distance travel, maybe it's designed to be more suitable for the preaching of the Divine Blood Order.

After flying for a day, Yin Rena finally found Katori Shrine according to the map given to her by Kyyo.

As for the blacksmith shop near Katori Jingu...... There was no special identification on the map, so Yin Rena could only ask someone, but no one knew that there was a so-called blacksmith shop nearby.

"Blacksmith?" The few men who were questioned by Yin Rena looked at each other and laughed, "How can there be such a vulgar thing as a blacksmith shop near the Divine Palace?" Even if it's sauce, maybe you can go to the extinct volcano next door to see if anyone has a stall~ Hahahaha......"

"Blanch...... A bunch of old boys. ”

"Wait," Yin Lena just finished complaining about those guys, as if her brain had been enlightened, "maybe it's really made in a volcano?" (There shouldn't be a volcano near Katori Jingu, but it's an alternate world anyway, and there are many volcanoes in Sakura Country, so it's not a big problem to make one.) ）

Just like Snow White's seven dwarfs, didn't the dwarves build their workshops on volcanoes in order to have a high enough temperature to build their equipment?

As they say, there is an extinct volcano right next door to the shrine that is now covered in greenery, and it is said that it has never erupted since the shrine was built.

Yin Rena stood on the commercial street opposite the shrine, looked up and could see the towering volcanic phantom, and then found a corner where no one was around, turned into a brute chirp and flew straight over.

"Mr. Jing is really, he didn't tell me where the blacksmith shop was, how to find it!"

At the same time, Kyogayu, who was far away in Tsukahara's house, took a sip of hot tea and immediately sneezed.

"Ah, Mr. Jing, is it a cold?"

"If you have a cold, keep warm!"

Eri and Asukina advised Kyo one after another.

"It's not...... I can't catch a cold with a sword spirit, but I feel like someone is scolding me...... Who could it be? ”

On the other side, Yin Leina, who had already flown to the foot of the volcano, continued to stay in the air, and began to observe at high altitude around the volcano, if it was really as Yin Rena thought, then this blacksmith shop would definitely not be built outside without a heat source, and should be looked inside the cave.

She lifted her flight altitude and came above the crater, like a cavern in a basin with no active magma, no hordes of working dwarves, nothing......

Yin Rena was quite disappointed, and just wanted to fly down to take a closer look at any details that she hadn't noticed, but she was bounced away by the air.

"What?"

Yin Rena stretched out her brute claws and rubbed the air below, and under the observation of the transcendent vision, a layer of ripples spread out in all directions.

"A wall of air, or an enchantment? Looks like you've found the right place. ”

She turned back into a human form, lying on the wall of the air without fear of falling.

He took out the envelope that Jing gave her and waved it and shouted, "The blacksmith shop owner is not there?" It was the Sword Master who sent me~~Open the door~"

The next moment, the air wall suddenly disappeared, and Yin Rena also fell suddenly, but fortunately, she turned back into a brute chirp in time, otherwise she would not have broken her bones if she fell from such a high height?

After entering the interior, Yin Rena discovered that the air wall just now could not only block the entry of foreign objects, but also hide people's eyes and ears from others to see that there were actually several rooms in the mouth of this extinct volcanic cave.

There were three strong men and three women inside, the children were not seen, and there was an old grandfather in the house, and their breath of life was very strong, and Yin Rena could tell it at once.

She landed in the most crowded place, and turned into a human form, while the three strong men were holding hammers in front of her, staring at her.

"Faith! Take it out! ”

Their voices are very rough, their appearance is a bit primitive, and their height is half a head taller than that of the dwarves, maybe they were too anxious when they were born, and with this voice, Yin Leina was quite curious about what race they were, and she was a little stunned for a while.

"Believe! A messenger sent by the Juggernaut! ”

Seeing that Yin Rena was indifferent, their eyes became fierce.

"Oooh! Here, please! ”

Yin Rena took out the letter in time and handed it to the strong man in the middle, waiting for him to read the whole book.

When he finished reading it, his eyes, which were already the same as copper bells, widened again, and he couldn't believe what was on it, so he read it again from the beginning.

Source change app】

"Uh...... Any questions, please? Yin Rena asked a little embarrassed, thinking that Jing had pitted herself.

The strong man glanced at the description in the letter, looked up at the strange woman in front of him, repeated it many times, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if confirming the identity of the comer, so he then threw the envelope into the pit full of magma, and before Yin Rena could react, the envelope burned to ashes.

"Please don't mind, this is the order of the Sword Master, Ka...... Cass Rua, come with me. The eldest and second also followed. ”

"Okay Dad!"

"Hello Dad!"

It turns out that the other two strong men are his sons, not a family that doesn't enter the door.

As for Mr. Jing...... Or why Mr. Tsukahara asked the blacksmith boss to burn the envelope, Yin Rena doesn't know, so she can only take one step at a time.

Following in the footsteps of the "boss", Yin Rena came all the way to the home of the only old man in her vision.

The "boss" pushed open the door roughly: "Grandpa, I'm in!" Come get something. ”

The old man came from the side room when he heard the sound, leaning on crutches, and his old face couldn't tell how old he was at all, but Yin Rena felt that a race like theirs should live a long life.

I saw the old man walking towards the "boss" who was rummaging in a box, smashed his buttocks with a cane, and yelled:

"Rebel! What are you doing with the old man's treasured materials!! ”
