Chapter 81: Challenge
A young man who practiced swordsmanship? I guess it's juggling.
This uncle is the Nagara Sosuke who killed people, but his soul is no longer the original nouveau riche, but is temporarily occupied by the swordsman on the Tiger Tho.
Turning his head and glancing at the bamboo sword that Fujii Shu put on the bar, Nagara Sosuke, who had absorbed the memories of the original owner, knew that this was a prop called modern kendo practice, and that there was such a similar thing in his active era, which did not surprise him.
God must have had its intentions in letting me appear in this era.
After Nagara Sosuke finished eating, he took out a few pieces of paper called money from his pocket, pressed them under the empty bowl, and got up to leave.
"Uncle, the money you gave is too much."
Fujii Shu kindly reminded him, how can there be a meal at an izakaya with several 10,000 yen bills to settle the bill, this uncle has several empty wine bottles in front of him, is he drunk and confused.
"Well, the extra money is considered a reward."
Nagara Sosuke turned around and walked out of the izakaya, and the shopkeeper chased after him with change, but after a while, he shook his head and came back, and it seemed that he didn't catch up.
Nagara Sosuke, who left the izakaya, walked through the alleyway with Toraki on his back, and a gang of gangsters beat the homeless man and was bumped into by him.
"Garbage, there should be the consciousness of garbage, sleeping here, all tripping Uncle Ben."
Gangsters are in groups of three or five, beating curled homeless people with steel pipes, which is also a norm in island countries, and there are often young people who are angry at these marginalized people in society, and no one cares about killing or maiming them.
"Get out!"
Nagara Sosuke untied the tiger on his back, and expressed his opinion very simply, as a swordsman who once walked in troubled times, he would not ignore it.
"Ojisan (uncle), didn't your mother teach you, don't be nosy?"
The leader of the gangsters, a young man with gray hair, took a blood-stained steel pipe and banged on the walls of the alleyway.
"Borrow a few dollars to spend? Look at how well you're dressed. ”
He noticed that Nagara was wearing a high-end suit, and suddenly had the evil intention of making a fortune.
The tiger pulled out of the scabbard inch by inch, the cold light was cold, scraping the night sky, and Nagara Xiangsuke took a few steps forward and slashed down.
The steel pipe in the hands of the gangster leader was neatly cut in two, and he and his companions fled in a panic, completely losing the arrogance just now.
Instead of pursuing, Nagara Sosuke stepped past the wounded homeless man on the ground and continued to move on the path he had chosen.
He didn't walk long, and soon came to a kendo gym, and when he looked up, there was a plaque hanging at the top of the imposing gate.
"Ichikawa is a knife flow, let's see the condition."
Nagara entered the gate, and from now on, he wants to challenge these sword halls one by one to prove his strength as the world's number one swordsman.
The Tiger Toru Tai Knife came out of its sheath with a loud sound, and the snowy sword light swept across Nagara Sosuke's silent face, through the corridor of the kendo hall, and came to the main house in the backyard.
"This guest, is he here to kick the gym? There's no need to draw a sword, right? ”
In the main room, a man in a kimono who was maintaining a real sword, turned his back to Nagara and asked.
"In the competition between swordsmen, using real swords is a sign of respect for each other, please ask for advice."
Nagara Sosuke raised the Tiger Toru Tai Knife, and after saying that, he stepped forward quickly, his hand raised and fell, and the Tai Knife, which was maintained by the man in the kimono, turned the blade and fought with him.
The two of them each took a few steps back, and the man in the kimono was quite good, and it took less than half a second from getting up to drawing his sword to fight.
The fallen leaves of the courtyard fell, falling on the water that reflected the confrontation between the two people, splashing a ripple.
The figures staggered again, and the kimono man's Taidao and Nagara's Toru collided and struck in mid-air, sparks in all directions.
Nagara Sosuke's Tiger Chege blocked the horizontal slash of the kimono man's sword, and with a turn of the blade, the next slash seemed to be dodged as expected, and the kimono man's skillful sword slash left a shallow red line on the tip of Nagara Sosuke's nose.
And Nagara Sosuke also pulled the blade away, and after being dodged and slashed, his tiger stabbed into the abdomen of the kimono man, and won by a small margin.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a skilled swordsman in the world, and if I conceded, I won."
Putting the sword into the sheath, Nagara Xiangsuke calculated the distance, and the slash of the kimono man could only give him one more scar on his face at most, and if he hadn't left a little force just now, the abdomen of this kimono man would have been pierced.
"Hmm! Who are you? ”
The man in the kimono thought that someone was deliberately looking for a master to kick his hall, but after the fight, he realized that this was definitely not an ordinary person, he really had a murderous intent just now, but he couldn't beat the opponent in front of him.
"I don't need to know the name of the below, it's just an unknown swordsman passing by."
Before he succeeded in challenging the kendo masters of the whole island country, Nagara Sosuke would not take the initiative to reveal his name in person, and after calling an ambulance on the phone of the main house for the kimono man, he left without looking back.
-------------------------------------
With her long and rounded legs wrapped into white cotton stockings, she outlined the silhouette of the slightly strangled, and Rin Kamiya, who was in front of the shrine house, put on her red and white shrine maiden costume, picked up the enshrined Genshi-style sword, and got up to pick up Shinnosuke, a tanuki monster who was sleeping on the floor.
"Pain, pain, pain!"
Shinnosuke opened his eyes and was placed on his shoulder by Rin Kamiya, the kimono on his body was changed to a newer style, and his complexion was much better than before.
"The gods have told me that a new trouble has arisen, and I need your sense of smell to find the source of the trouble."
Rin Kamiya explained a few words, as the shrine maiden of the Jade White Great Myojin, she has the responsibility to deal with these supernatural events.
"In addition to eating and sleeping every day, you should also contribute your own strength, right?"
Rin Kamiya, who thought it was taking in a free laborer, was a little angry and blamed Shinnosuke for pretending to be dead.
"Hi, hi! Hi! I'll just go out with you. ”
Shinnosuke reluctantly compromised, and the demon was under the eaves and had to bow his head.
Tanuki youkai jumped on Rin Kamiya's shoulder, mortals can't see youkai, and it doesn't do anything to disguise.
"Miss Kamiya, there are very few people who believe in the Jade White Great Ming God you serve, right? Except for the villagers near the bottom of the mountain, there was no one to worship his god. ”
On the way down the mountain, Shinnosuke asked Kamiya Rin curiously, it wasn't that it didn't do nothing during this time, at least the surrounding environment, it was all clear.
"The priesthood of Lord Yubai is to protect the human beings in the Tokyo area, but the government of modern society has completely stopped the theory of gods and ghosts from becoming the mainstream, and the loss of believers is also normal."
Kamiya Rin answered truthfully, a trace of loneliness flashed on his face, the Kamiya family, who has served the Yubai Great Ming God for generations, is now only one of her direct members, and it is said that the blood of the ancestors is integrated into the spiritual blood of the Jade White Great Ming God, so as to obtain the strength of ordinary people and the physique of the monster, and if it does not multiply, this once famous family will also disappear in the long river of history.
