Back in Kyoto, it was late at night when I checked into the hotel.

Heavy rain came unexpectedly, and Luo He stood by the window and looked at the night view of the city.

The colors in the rain screen are blurred, and the overpass, traffic, neon, and signal lights are all blurred.

Today can be described as a fruitful harvest, not only learned the clues of the swordsmith from the senior sister, but also successfully obtained an invitation to visit the 'old man of the sword' from the sword master.

Next, just take the opportunity of the sword tasting conference to visit the swordsmith.

"Xiu, you won very beautifully today." Luo He beckoned: "Come to the kitchen to help me chop vegetables, and I'll make braised pork for you to eat!" ”

The little yellow dog grinned, wagged its tail, and happily followed behind Luo He.

Xiao Jiu consciously took a step forward and walked slowly to the kitchen, sticking out his tongue to sell cuteness as he walked.

The blue light and shadow flickered on the sofa, and the virtualized white-haired beautiful girl sat on the sofa, with a cola formed by the information flow on her lap, and picked up the light blue remote control and pressed it, and the LCD screen suddenly lit up.

On Kyoto TV, the hostess sat in front of the camera and explained with the picture behind her:

"The National Kendo Tournament will be held next month."

The picture shows a dojo, a handsome young man with a ponytail and a braid, being interviewed by the media, smiling kindly.

"It is reported that Chiba Suke, known as the 'first genius swordsman of the millennium', the inheritor of Beichen's sword stream, and known as the 'Chiba of Technique', will participate in this competition."

The screen shifts to reveal a steady, dark-skinned muscular man, with his arms crossed and speaking succinctly.

"At the same time, Momoi Liang, who complements Chiba Suke and has the name of 'Momoi no Momoi', also said that he will challenge the throne of the world's number one swordsman."

The hostess said, "Who will win this year's kendo tournament, please tune in on time next month......

Expressionless as he changed the stage, the screen showed a picture of a horse race, and the narrator was neighing and cheering.

"Why did you change the channel?" Luo He was surprised.

Zero complained: "The title is too complicated, I don't want to listen to it anymore." ”

"Squeak~!" The chipmunk sat on the coffee table with a stack of nuts in front of him, picking up peanuts and sending them to his mouth, nodding sympathetically.

The seagull stood at the table with a large bucket of fries in front of him, pecked one of them with his head down, and then raised his head with a deep gaze.

"European ......"

Instead of racing, order fries on the hour!

Lohoma rubbed his chin... This kendo tournament is being held next month, so I didn't have time to attend.

Senior sister also had a night dance that had a relationship with yesterday, but she was able to participate.

With the strength of these two people, they can still achieve good results.

Come to the kitchen.

Luo He prepared a supper for the pet beasts, ate and drank to their heart's content, and went to bed early.

Following.

Luo He got up early to wash, and the mobile phone screen lit up, showing Senior Sister Ye Zhi's private message.

"Mai Yami wants your contact information, is that okay?"

Luo He was slightly stunned, and a picture came to his mind, the red-haired girl asked him to teach him cooking skills last night.

There is contact information, and it is more convenient for her to ask for cooking skills.

"Yes, but how can she have a cell phone?" Luo He Dao.

"I'll take her shopping this afternoon and pick her a new phone." Leaf weaving road.

Luo He was a little surprised.

When did the relationship between these two people get so good?

"If you're going to have money, you can see that you succeeded in kicking the 'Mirror Heart Wise Stream' at the Taxi Academy this morning, defeated the 'Momoi of the Position', and then got your hands on it......"

The Shigakukan, the Xuanwu Hall, and the Martial Arts Hall are known as the three major dojos in Kyoto, and the three major schools are the most prestigious and powerful schools in the whole of Sakurajima.

As a result, in the morning's effort, the night dance has defeated the heirs of the Shixue Pavilion!

Ye Ori used ellipsis to express his indescribable mood.

Luo He's mood was also a little delicate.

Bit of Momoi.

This seems to be the seeded player who blew the sky in the TV news yesterday?

That's it?

Luo He coughed lightly and said, "I see, let's have fun." ”

"Are you coming?" Ye Ori invited, "In the afternoon, I will visit the electronics and electrical specialty stores in Akihabara, and there are also pet equipment stores and household appliance stores. ”

Although the zero can also be deformed, to be reasonable, Luo He is still quite interested in electrical appliances such as ovens and coffee machines.

Besides, the sword tasting conference will only be held after tomorrow, and it is idle to be idle today.

Luo He said: "Okay, I'll come over in the afternoon." ”

"Well, goodbye."

Turning off the phone, the black-haired girl in a JK uniform turned her head sideways and looked at Mai Yami on the side.

"Luo He promised to go shopping with us in the afternoon."

"Great." Yami Mai smiled: "One more person to help me with the staff!" ”

Ye Zhi put his hand on his chin and looked at it: "However, your clothes have to be changed." ”

"Can't you? I see a lot of swordsmen wearing them like this? Yami Mai looked down at the white cloth on her chest.

Ye Zhi said: "The purpose of wrapping a white cloth on the chest is to stop bleeding and reduce the risk of being cut in half...... You wear it as a corset, and it makes no sense. ”

Night Mimai was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Oh! You're knowledgeable enough! ”

Ye Zhi said calmly: "My height is about the same as you... You can just pick one in my closet and wear it. ”

Ye Jianwu's eyes flickered, and two calloused hands grabbed Ye Weaving's hand, shook it hard, and said movingly:

"Thank you, Senior Sister Ye Weaving!"

"What are you doing by learning Luo He's name?" Ye Zhi turned around and said, "Let's go, come into the house with me." ”

Come to the bedroom.

Mai Yami opened the closet door and sniffed the fragrance on her face, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Senior sister, your clothes are so fragrant."

Haori reached out and pushed Yamimai's head away, and with the other hand over her shoulder, she took a few hangers from the cabinet.

"Try this ......"

"W-Are you dressed like this?"

"What about this one?"

"The clothes are too tight!" Yami Mai shouted.

"Hmm... I can't see it..."Ye Zhi said with his arms crossed.

It's obviously a trivial matter of changing clothes, but it's harder than practicing swords, half an hour passed in a flash, and the two of them were sweating profusely, and they sat on the bed in a daze with a 'whew'.

"What's going on, it's more tiring than practicing swords." Yami Mai muttered.

"It's still early, let's pick later."

Ye Zhi paused for a moment and said, "By the way, Momoi Liang from the Shixue Pavilion, how could he agree to your request to kick the hall?" ”

The three dojos cherish feathers, and in the face of the night dance from a humble background, there is no reason to take risks.

But Momoi Liang not only accepted the competition, but also lost so easily, which really surprised Ye Ori.

"He definitely didn't say yes at first!"

Facing Ye Weaving's unexpected gaze, Yami Mai said with a smile:

"However, I made a bet on Spider Cut and Ghost Cut, and he immediately agreed!"

"You're not afraid... Lose these two knives? Ye Zhi hesitated.

"Afraid of what?"

Night Dance:

"After that fight with Master Luo, and then face Momoi Liang, I know by looking at his aura that I will definitely not lose this time!"

"What's going on?" Ye Zhi asked.

The words of the time...... "I saw the night and danced to the sky."

Rewind the clock to morning.

Outside the high-walled dojo, the red-haired girl pinned her waist with two knives and shouted loudly:

"I'm a first-class person in the second day, Momoi of the Shixue Museum, come out and fight me to the death!"

Bang!

The door of the dojo was pushed open by a tall man in a kendo uniform.

"Where's the wild girl?" The tall man said, "Hurry up and go home, don't be ignorant!" ”

Night Mimai glanced at the man's tiger's mouth, and then said indifferently:

"You are too weak, call your master out."

"You—" The tall man's face turned blue, his sword was in his hand, and he was about to attack.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the disciple next to him hurriedly slipped into the dojo and rushed to the back hall quickly.

"Master!"

The swarthy man knelt in meditation, with a delicate scabbard on his knees, on which it glowed like flowing water.

Bang!

The door was pushed open by the disciples.

The swarthy man's eyes widened slightly, and a cold light flashed under his eyes.

"Master Momoi." The disciple fell to the ground, "There is a kicker outside who comes to the door, claiming to be the first-class in the second day, and he wants to challenge you face to face!" ”

"Two days first-class?"

Momoi's eyes flashed, remembering the rumors that had been circulating in Kyoto recently, and he got up and said, "Interesting... I'm going to find out! ”

Bang!

The sword fell to the ground, and the sword spirit trembled and let out a mournful roar.

The tall man was in disbelief, looking at Taidao who had been knocked to the ground, his face turned pale.

She didn't even go out of the knife ... With just the scabbard, I knocked down my saber!

"It's all said, tell your master to come out."

Yami Mai withdrew the scabbard and pinned it to her waist, her cold gaze swept over the disciples who gradually surrounded her.

"Don't let me clear this place!"

"Get out of the way!"

The majestic whisper made the disciples retreat and make way for them, and the tall man shuddered.

A swarthy man descended the steps, dressed in a gray sword robe with a cyan scabbard pinned to his waist.

He is meticulous with every step and has fantastic footwork that puts him in an advantageous position to attack at all times.

Even when he stood in front of Yami Mai, he confronted him sideways, so that the strong side hand could face the enemy's weak side hand, and said coldly:

"Your Excellency broke into the door without informing you and wounded my disciples, I don't know what to advise?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Night Dance: "I'm here to kick the gym!" ”

As long as you open a dojo, you must always be aware of being kicked out of the gym.

However, as one of the three major dojos in Kyoto, Shigakukan has the right to refuse the challenge of unknown people.

Momoi Liang looked at the immature face of the red-haired girl and said calmly:

"Your Excellency is young and vigorous, and you don't know the rules of Kyoto City, so I don't care about hurting my disciples."

"Looking at what you're wearing, you must be overstretched...... "Momoi Liang said: "Come on, take some plates and wrap them around and give them to this girl!" ”

"Wait!"

Yamimai said loudly: "Pestering me later, take it later, fight with me first!" ”

Momoi Liang was a little speechless, and he no longer cared about his face, and said calmly:

"If you don't leave, don't blame me for calling the police!"

Disciples: "Call the police o(Д)?!" ”

Mai Yami: "And this kind of operation! Σ(Д; )”

Momoi Liang snorted coldly and turned around with a flick of his sleeves.

But I heard a 'clang' sound from behind, and the sword was drawn out of the sheath!

Zheng!

At the same moment, all the disciples present drew their swords and vigilantly surrounded the Yarumi Mai, who was holding a sword.

Momoi Liang tilted his head slightly, and the shape of the sword was reflected in his pupils, and his eyes were startled.

"This knife is called Spider Cut." Yami Mai said: "It is a pair with the other ghost cut on my waist." ”

Momoi Liang's eyes flashed with incredulity, and he said in a low voice:

"Spider cut, ghost cut......"

The rumors are not wrong.

This girl has really obtained the inheritance of Miyamoto Kenhao!

"I'm willing to bet on these two knives." Night Dancing said: "Test your swordsmanship!" ”

Hearing this, the spider cut and the ghost cut let out a mournful sword sound.

Yami Mai glared at the two swords viciously.

Remember, Master asked you both to follow me.

I didn't even give me the maintenance fee, and it's already my grace if I don't sell you two!

Suddenly, the sound of the sword ceased.

The things of this world are always favored and fearless.

The two knives are famous knives in the world, and they are arrogant, which really makes them easier, but they are reluctant!

Rao is 'wise and rational flow' is known for cultivating his mind, and Momoi Liang's expression can't help but be moved.

He pondered for a long time, stared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Come with me!" ”

In the disciple's astonished gaze, the night saw dance step up the stairs with his head held high.

Dojo.

On both sides of the battlefield, there were already disciples who had gathered to watch the excitement.

"I agree to fight you."

Momoi Liang held the handle of the knife in his hand, turned to the side of the night dance, and said coldly:

"But the sword has no eyes, if you make a mistake, don't complain!"

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law."

Mai Yami crossed her arms: "Hurry up and start!" ”

Momoi Liang looked at the referee outside the field, nodded silently, and the referee waved the flag on the ground.

In a flash.

Momoi Liang's eyes lit up, and he pulled his knife out of its sheath.

Zheng!

This is a very graceful, streamlined sword, and when the knife is swung, the blade gathers a stream of water, cutting a sparkling arc of water.

This knife is called 'Water God Cut', a water-attribute sword spirit, and legend has it that the Sword Master once used this knife to cut off the flood!

The swift remnant drew his knife and slashed, carrying a roaring water dragon, and killed in front of Yami Dance in an instant!

The so-called 'Momoi of the position' is played to the extreme in the position. This sword is cut at the left hand of the night dance, and with a long attack and a short attack, a normal person is bound to break an arm first!

Ye Jianwu's eyes froze, and he drew his knife with his left hand with a 'clang', and the spider cut condensed a thick earth-colored light, like an earthen wall, and suddenly blocked the sword momentum of the water dragon's roar!

At the same moment, the knife in his right hand was unsheathed, and the black flame of the ghost cut was brilliant, and he slashed Momoi Liang's chest obliquely!

Bite!

Momoi Liang put away his knife to resist, and his heart sank.

The two days are first-class, and the name is well deserved!

In an instant, Ye Jianwu jumped forward in the air, raised his double knives, and slashed down like a hungry tiger!

Clang!

Momoi Liang lifted the knife, the tiger's mouth was numb, and the blood surged, forcibly calming himself.

With a false slash, forcing back the night dance, Momoi Liang closed his eyes and concentrated, making himself feel as if he was in a flowing river.

The mirror in my heart reflects all the enemy's attacks.

This is exactly the move that has made countless swordsmen a treasure.

Spiegel stops water!

Night Mai saw the tricks at a glance, and laughed in his heart.

This mirror stops water, even Master Luo's dog is not as good!

"You also deserve to be called Spiegel?!"

Suddenly, thunderous laughter exploded in my ears.

The mirror in my heart suddenly cracked!

What?

Momoi's conscience was shocked, and he felt that the night dance had killed behind him at some point!

He subconsciously turned around and opened his eyes, only to find that there was no one behind him.

"Overhead, Master!"

The disciples outside the arena shouted anxiously.

Momoi Liang looked up, his pupils narrowed.

The red-haired girl who fell in the air has a beautiful body like a dancing girl in the capital, but the double swords in her hands are enough to cut off the Bodhi tree and destroy the mirror platform!

Rumble!!

The sword slashed down.

Momoi's eyes darkened and he lost consciousness.

The last scene before the fragment is a terrifying sword swinging into the wind, causing the disciples to scream and flee, slamming through the wall......

Half an hour later.

Momoi Liang woke up slowly, and the doctor and apprentice were looking at him with concern.

On the other side, the red-haired girl was holding a sword and yawning:

"Haven't woken up yet? I'm almost asleep! ”

Momoi Ryo struggled to get up, pushed away the disciple who was trying to support him, and faced Yami Mai with a complicated look in his eyes.

"It's me who loses."

Momoi Liang bowed his head, a little ashamed, untied the exquisite scabbard around his waist, and offered it with both hands:

"I am willing to lose the bet, this [Water God Cut] will be yours!"

The disciples who saw this scene were like mourners, and some were already choking in a low voice.

This water god cut is the master's saber, and it is of great significance to the dojo.

Now he has been kicked out of the gym and taken away from the knife... From now on, it will be difficult for the Scholar Museum to gain a foothold in Kyoto!

Momoi Liang's eyes were gloomy, but he heard the night dance say strangely:

"What do I want your knife for?"

"But...... Didn't we bet on knives? Momoi Liang said blankly.

"I want money!"

Yami Mai said loudly, "Who wants your broken knife?" Can you compare it with spiders and ghosts? Just give the money! ”

Mizujin Cut: ?

It's not very hurtful, it's extremely insulting!

Momoi Liang was surprised and delighted, and said continuously:

"Okay, okay, I'll go get the money and ransom you with the knife!"

……

Kyoto City, Akihabara.

The streets are decorated with colorful signs, and facilities such as game halls, maid cafes, and electrical shops can be found everywhere.

Tourists who came and went, their eyes focused on the handsome young man in white, showing an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred.

The young man in white stood in the middle, and on either side stood black-haired and red-haired girls in JK uniforms and with different auras, with a 100% turnaround rate.

"So ......"

After listening to the story told by Ye Jianwu, Luo He said in a complicated way:

"You didn't ask for Momoi Ryoshi's water god cut, so you are going to get money?"

Night Seeing Dance waved the space ring full of jewels and cash in her hand, and grinned:

"I said that I would get the money, didn't I get it?"

Ye Zhi bowed his head and said: "This battle has made a reputation for 'two days first-class', and your master will definitely be proud of you." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's first-class for two days."

Night Mi looked at the dazzling array of electronic devices in the electronics store, and her eyes lit up:

"The point is, I can finally afford a mobile phone!"

In today's era, mobile phones can be described as luxury, and the price is even higher than that of low-level space stones.

Luo He's mobile phone was still given to him by Master Li back then.

At this time, the phone buzzes and vibrates.

Luo He glanced at the caller ID, and then said:

"You two go to the store first, I'll be there later."

Night Mimai nodded, happily pulled on the leaf weaving, and entered the store to buy.

In less than a moment, Luo He looked through the glass and saw the red-haired girl's face with a look of shock, hesitation, and heartache.

Coming to the phone booth, Luo He answered the phone and said:

"Hey, Director Hu,"

Hutu's serious voice came from the phone:

"Luo He, you're on a business trip to Sakurajima, right?"

Luo He took the mobile phone, looked at the pedestrians of Akihabara who came and went outside the phone booth, looked at the balloon that the child took off his hand and floated into the blue sky, and said:

"yes, what's wrong?"

"The news from the Exchange Bureau says that there is a totem-level fierce beast awakening in Sakurajima recently, and in order not to cause panic, it has not been announced to the public."

"But you need to be mentally prepared...... Hutu said, "If there is an emergency, report it to me in time!" ”

Totem-level beast awakening?

I'm good at this!

Luo He was surprised: "What kind of fierce beast is it, do you have any information?" ”

Hu Tu said: "At present, it is a fierce beast recorded in the legends of Donghuang and Sakurajima, a ghost car bird. ”

Luo He was stunned.

The ghost car bird is notorious.

Legend has it that this demon bird has nine heads and loves to suck the souls of humans.

In Sakurajima, it is also known as the "Gu Bird", and it is often used to attack young children.

"Since you know that the ghost car bird has awakened in Sakurajima, why don't you get rid of it as soon as possible?" Luo He asked.

"Sakurajima's trainers are in short supply. In order to deal with a totem-level fierce beast, Sakurajima needs to prepare for war and mobilize strong people. Hu Tu said: "Presumably, they are already drawing people." ”

Luo He muttered, "Do I need to do something?" ”

"No, I don't. I mean, to make you risk-averse. Director Hu said in a deep voice: "Sakurajima's affairs, just leave it to Sakurajima to deal with." ”

"I see."

Luo He said: "I will stay in Sakurajima for another two weeks, and then return to China after the matter is settled." ”

"Good luck." Director Hu said: "If you need support, contact me in time." ”

Luo He hung up the contact and walked out of the phone booth.

The lonely young man in white stood on the streets of Akihabara, extremely conspicuous, and girls dressed as maids constantly came up to talk to them, inviting Luo He to the coffee shop to add to their performance.

Luo He refused all the way and returned to the electrical store.

"Welcome!"

Pushing open the door, a cordial greeting came.

Luo He noticed Yami Dance and Ye Weaving in front of the counter, but when he saw Yami Mai, he looked depressed and said:

"What's wrong?"

"Phones are too expensive." Night Mai cried with a sad face, "It's much more expensive than I thought!" ”

"But isn't the money you got from kicking the gym more than enough......" Luo He said.

"No, this year's harvest is not good, I want to send some to my mother."

Yamimai gritted her teeth and whispered, "Damn... It seems that Kyoto's three dojos have to be kicked all over again! ”

Luo He: "......"

Unexpectedly, you are still a filial girl!

"This is an electrical appliance store exclusively operated by the [Inari Chamber of Commerce], and it will be more expensive than an ordinary electrical appliance store."

Ye Zhi said: "Let's go to other stores and have a look." ”

At this time, a man dressed in a suit came over, nodded towards Luo He, and said politely:

"This gentleman, I'm the manager of our store. As the 1,000th customer to enter the store today, you can pick up any mobile phone on the counter for free and take it away. ”

Luo He: "......"

How can I not believe that there is such a good thing?

Wait, the manager of the Inari Chamber of Commerce, do you know me?

Luo He glanced at the manager strangely, but saw the manager smile meaningfully.

Swish.

Ye Jian Mai and Ye Weaving turned their heads and cast their eyes at Luo He.

"You pick one." Luo He looked at Ye Jianwu and said, "I'll give you a discount and sell it to you cheaper." ”

"Yay!"

Yami Mai cheered and pointed to the counter: "I want this red one!" ”

Soon, the teller wrapped the phone and handed it to the red-haired girl.

Yami Mai happily took it and turned around and said:

"Thank you, Master Luo!"

"You're welcome." Luo He said calmly: "Transfer or cash?" ”

"Transfer!" With a happy smile on her face, she muttered, "No... I can't get the transfer, so it's better to transfer it. ”

Ye Zhi said gently: "When you return to the dojo, I will teach you how to use your mobile phone." ”

The red-haired girl smiled again.

Subsequently, the three of them visited dessert shops, model shops, and kitchenware stores one after another......

But as long as the store operated by the Inari Chamber of Commerce is operated, Luo He is bound to get a freebie for various reasons.

The red-haired girl next to her kept looking at her with envy, which made Luo He a little embarrassed.

"I'll take the kitchen utensils, and you can share the rest of the desserts and models with Ye Weaving."

Luo He said: "Anyway, it's free, and those who see it have a share!" ”

Ye Zhi wanted to refuse, but if he refused, there would be no reason for Yami Dance to accept it.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhi politely thanked him and accepted the gift.

"Master Luo......"

Ye Jianwu was holding a bunch of gift boxes in his hand, his eyes flickered, and he said with emotion:

"You are truly my lucky star!"

Luo He: "......"

Okay, I'm warm up to Jiang Yue!

"I'll be sure to prepare a thank-you gift in the future."

Yami Mai said quite seriously: "It must be a particularly powerful kind!" ”

Luo He smiled and said, "For example? ”

Night Mimai was full of mystery and said:

"For example, it is rumored that the [treasure pot] that is stored in the Sakurajima royal family is ...... Just put a gold coin in the pot and you will pour out a steady stream of gold coins! ”

Luo He was slightly stunned:

"Treasure pot?"

"I've heard this story too."

Ye Zhi groaned:

According to legend, it was a wealthy businessman in Donghuang who was beheaded by the empress because of the price of grain during the disaster. A treasure pot in his family was transferred to a prince of Sakurajima. ”

"But with the treasure pot, the prince didn't think about it, and finally starved to death in the room with the treasure pot."

"Since then, the treasure pot has been regarded as a bad thing and has been locked up in the palace."

Ye Zhi looked at Ye Jian Wu and said, "That's a forbidden thing, how can you give it to Luo He?" ”

Yamimai snorted and said:

"Mountain people have their own tricks!"

Luo He looked at the sky.

This cornoche ...... Sounds wicked.

It can't be related, right?

*

Papal States, Prophetic Will.

In the solemn and sacred church, the ornate carpet leads to the altar, and the black-clad pope holds a scepter and looks up at the majestic frescoes under the dome.

Her long pale blonde hair was like satin, draped around her waist, and Pope Joan's eyes were like rubies, and she turned to look at the nun in black kneeling under the altar.

"The appearance of Gu Shou Bird is an opportunity."

The black-clothed Pope said, "Hety, I hope you go to Sakura Island and bring back the holy relics." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The nun smiled and said:

"The Sakurajima royal family has kept the holy relic for nearly half a century, and it's time for the item to be returned to its original owner!"

"There's a problem."

Pope Joan lowered his eyes and examined the three tarot cards on the altar.

In the past, the wheel of fortune was in place.

Now, the fool is in place.

In the future, temperance is reversed.

Qiong An said calmly:

"The Child of Prophecy is also on Sakurajima at this moment."

Sister Heti was slightly startled: "You mean... Luo He? ”

"If things change, it's a good idea to let the Child of Prophecy get his hands on the relics." Qiong'an Pope Road.

"Understood." The nun nodded:

"I will definitely get back the [Pot of Generosity]!"
