Zuowuyuan House, two o'clock in the afternoon.

At the door of the dojo where the apprentices were shouting, he faced the cold old man inside for the second time with only the words authority and egotism written on his face, and he wanted to turn around and leave directly several times.

But in the end, I held back.

"I just want to go and worship her mother on my mother's behalf, just tell me where the grave is, and I'll leave."

You Yi has given up on letting this stubborn and egoistic old man change his mind and accept the original owner's mother.

Now I just want to find out where the tomb of the original owner's grandmother is, and then leave for the original owner's mother.

I came once in the morning, but was choked away by this stinky old man, You Yi asked the nearby villagers to determine the location of the cemetery, but he couldn't find the tombstone with the grandmother's name written on it.

So, in desperation, Yuyi came back again.

"You're in the wrong place, neither the old man nor the old man's wife who has returned to heaven know your mother. Also, instantly, the old man said, don't let outsiders in casually. ”

After that, this old man, who was a little lean and had a murderous aura in his eyebrows and eyes that was a little heavier than Zhi Youyi, coldly glanced at the man about thirty years old who led You Yi in.

The man's name is Kyogoku Instant, and he is the eldest disciple of Yi Saburo of Zuowu Academy, and it is he who opened the door for Yu Yi twice and led the way.

"Master, Sister Wei has been..."

The old man's eagle-like sharp gaze made Kyogoku instantly freeze and lower his head, not daring to say a word more.

At this time, You Yi put down his backpack and put it in the corridor, then took off his shoes and walked in: "How can I be allowed to worship?" ”

"The Zuo Wuyuan family is a martial artist."

"Do you mean you want me to kick the gym? Yes, but you'll have to tell me where you are when you win, old stinky man. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the old man's face for the first time, but it was a smile full of disdain and mockery.

"You Yijun, don't be impulsive..."

Kyogoku wanted to stop it for a moment, but the next moment he heard the old man say lightly: "There is no armor or bamboo knife for the gangsters here." ”

"Just give it to my mom."

"I've said it many times, the old man doesn't know your mother."

"You Yijun, come with me."

Thinking of something, Jingji instantly dragged You Yi away quickly, and when he came back, You Yi had an extra bamboo knife in his hand that had been in his hand for some years, but it was well preserved.

Unlike other bamboo knives, this one has a handmade pendant tied to the hilt of the sword, which can barely be seen in pink.

According to Kyogoku, this bamboo knife was used by Yuichi's mother before, and after Yuichi's mother ran away from home, it was burned by order of Isaburo Zuowuin.

However, it was secretly saved by Youyi's grandmother.

Looking at the familiar bamboo knife, the old man frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, but glanced at the little apprentice who was wearing a full set of armor and his face was hidden by a mask.

The latter nodded slightly, and walked out.

"Use my armor." Kyogoku said instantly, just about to turn around but stopped because of the old man's eyes.

"No need."

As soon as You finished speaking, he was about to step forward, but he was pulled by Kyogoku instantly, and was whispered in his ear.

"You Yijun, don't underestimate the little junior sister, although she has not participated in any form of competition, but in terms of actual combat, there is only the master and me in this dojo, and she has not won yet."

"I see." You Yi nodded slightly.

"For the sake of insurance, let me ask first, how much have you learned Sister Wei's skills? If you get eight points, it's not a big problem. ”

"She didn't teach me, and it was the first time I had touched a bamboo knife."

"Oh, I see."

Kyogoku nodded instantly, and then reacted, his eyes widened and the corners of his eyes twitched as he looked at Yuichi who stepped forward fearlessly.

"It's not that you're waiting, what did you just say?"

"Don't worry, I still know some of the rules and stuff." You didn't look back, came to the center of the dojo, and faced the girl who was already ready to be a head lower than him.

I took a shallow breath of the cool air poured in from the door to cheer up, and then followed the example of the girl in front of me, standing up straight with a bamboo sword in both hands.

At the same time, a new task is released.

[Mission Release: Win her, at least once.] 】

[Target: ??? 】

[Time Limit: 1.5 days, remaining time 35h59m5......]

[Reward: 3,000 & 200,000 yen]

[Quest Hint: You are one by one. 】

What the hell is Youyiyi? You Yi couldn't help complaining.

Anyway, I just redeemed the kendo entry.,Although I don't know where the city is.,But it's also the first in the city.。

Will you still lose?

"Let's go!"

……

Nine o'clock in the evening, Ohara no Sato Hot Spring Inn.

The open-air bath is surrounded by bamboo and is not very large, but the scenery is beautiful.

Of course, for Yu Yi, who has a blue nose and swollen face and many bruises all over his body, he doesn't have the heart to look at this kind of thing.

The hot springs that come in from the mountains are just the right temperature, and it's a torture for Yuichi.

However, the money was paid, and it was a bit of a loss not to experience it, so I could only inhale the cool air and endure the burning sensation brought by the hot spring water, while barely soaking.

That's right, I was beaten up in the afternoon.

In the first game, I didn't know how to lose, in the second game, I barely blocked it, and in the third game, I ......

In short, after such an afternoon, after countless competitions before his physical strength was completely exhausted, You Yi figured out that the sword of the Zuo Wu Academy was definitely not as simple as ordinary kendo.

That kind of thing can no longer be called kendo, it is completely a practical practical swordsmanship, and it is the ancestor of kendo!

After so many competitions, when he could barely keep up with the strange and flexible sword path and hold on for a few more rounds, his physical strength was exhausted one step ahead of the little girl.

It's a shame to say that.

Similar to Pete's Spirit, You Yiyi's Spirit barely touched the threshold after an afternoon of hammer forging, but it was always a beat slower until the last game.

That's why you can barely parry.

"If it was a real knife, I would have died today..."

"Sixty-five times."

The man's voice came, and You Yi searched for the voice, and looked through the hazy heat only to realize that it was Kyogoku.

"Kyogoku-san..."

……

As he entered the hot spring, Kyogoku asked in authentic Kyoto dialect, "Is it your first time using a sword?" ”

"Hmm." You Yi nodded his head.

"In this way, it seems that Sister Wei really gave birth to a genius son who is not lost to her."

Kyogoku smiled instantly, sat down against the shore, and looked up at the inky sky, his gentle eyes full of remembrance.

In the dim light of the hotel, the white mist slowly rises into the air, and when it rises to a certain height, it meets and entangles with the falling snowflakes.

After being silent for a long time, Kyogoku instantly retracted his gaze and looked at You Yi: "You really look exactly like your mother." ”

"Eyebrows and eyes are a lot worse, right? I think her eyebrows are much softer. ”

Kyogoku waved his hand in an instant: "No, no, no, there is no one in your family with soft eyebrows and eyes, and the fierce eyebrows and eyes have inherited from your grandfather, and so is your mother." ”

"That's not right! Mom's eyebrows and eyes are very gentle, completely different from that stinky old man! ”

"In this way, Sister Wei's eyebrows have softened..."

Kyogoku muttered with emotion, then looked up at the sky again, and fell into memory once more.

"You and my mother are green plums?"

"Well, but it's Qingmei, I feel more like a brother and sister. And it's the eldest sister who likes to bully her younger brother at every turn. ”

As he spoke, Kyogoku instantly reached out and pinched Yuichi's face.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

"The more I look at it, the more I look like it, my eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Sister Wei at that time, and I want to take revenge on you for her "care" over the years. ”

You One: ......
