Hearing the words of the immortal river, Yaoya Sanyashiki smiled, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Yu Marrow Tianyuan half-knelt beside the Immortal River, and his side eyes were also surprised:

"You..."

He opened his mouth slightly, the expression on his face changed, and a smile suddenly appeared, and the gemstone headdresses on both sides swayed slightly with his movements.

He gave a thumbs up to the Immortal River:

"It's a very gorgeous war letter."

Yu Marrow Tianyuan nodded seriously with his eyes:

"I'm optimistic about you."

"Huh?"

Immortal Minoru glanced at him suspiciously, not paying much attention.

Because—

Due to the remoteness of the area in charge and his short temper, he doesn't talk much with the ordinary swordsmen in the team.

In addition, after the last pillar meeting, because he was dissatisfied with his own strength, he had been practicing swordsmanship desperately in his dojo without paying attention to foreign affairs.

Eventually, it will lead to.

Immortal Minoru - I only heard a few words about what had happened recently.

For example, the news that the wind appeared in Tokyo.

Another example is that the village of Forging Knife was attacked by ghosts, but there was no news of any casualties.

- But he didn't know the details.

After all, Yaoya Sanyashiki is going to officially announce these things at this meeting.

And after Tanjuro agreed to Immortalgawa's request.

……

in the courtyard.

The rest of the pillars sat around, facing in the same direction as the lord, looking at Tanjuro and Immortal River, who were standing in the middle.

For some reason, the person who came to the meeting on behalf of "Yanzhu" this time was Maki Juro.

After seeing the refreshed Maki Juro, although they didn't know what had happened, the pillars were much more relieved.

We're all very happy to see you back. ’

This is what Yaoya Sanyashiki said when he met Maki Juro.

Well! All of them have become quite gorgeous.

Yu Ji Tianyuan's gaze swept over the other pillars, and the hand of colored nail polish rested against his chin, and nodded in satisfaction.

Of course, it was me who stood out the most.

- Just.

He opened his eyes, his eyebrows slightly raised, and glanced at Tomioka, who was sitting not far away, looking at him.

- Tomioka?

- Why did you stare at me from the beginning...?

Yu Marrow Tianyuan touched his forehead suspiciously.

The jewels on the headdress shone in the sunlight with his movements.

- Is it... I'm so gorgeous today...?

Opposite the side of the Universe Essence Tengen.

！！

was discovered.

Tomioka Yoshiyu's face was startled (he couldn't see it), and he found that Uchiyo was aware of his gaze, so he slowly moved his gaze away as if nothing had happened.

Really... Not alone...

He was still thinking about the figure he had seen last night.

……

Then.

In the middle of the courtyard surrounded by columns.

"Next!"

Minoru Immortal Kawa tossed a wooden knife to Tanjuro and held the other in one hand, the blade pointing towards the ground.

Syllable!

Tanjuro reached out to catch the wooden knife that had been thrown at him, and clenched it hard.

The dark red eyes reflected the upturned corners of Immortal Chuan's mouth.

- If you don't convince him completely, it may not go well when you guide the world through the future...

With that in mind.

His grip on the hilt of the knife grew harder.

After the two looked at each other for a moment.

Creak!

Bang!

Immortal Minoru twisted his feet, his arm quickly raised, his muscles tensed, and he burst out from the opposite side like a cannonball!

In an instant, on top of the blade that stretched straight out, the spiraling wind blade rotated and wrapped around the whole body!

After the lesson of the last time, he abandoned the move of taking off.

Instead, it became almost defenseless and could only dodge.

- Rapid Thrust!

Swish!

A pale green figure swept across the courtyard.

Minoru's weight sank, and he smiled, but against the scars on his face, the smile looked extremely hideous.

It's just that.

The moment he stabbed in front of Tanjuro.

Smack.

A foot reached out from the side and stepped on top of his thrusting blade.

Shimi's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes quickly followed the foot to look up—

- It's Tanjuro!

……

After passing through the world and judging in advance that Shimi was using a thrust technique.

A question mark slowly rose above Tanjuro's head.

The thrust technique reminded him of an old man who was constantly jumping on the castle tower.

Almost muscle memory, Tanjuro stepped sideways forward as Shimi's spurt of the wind came to him.

Smack!

Lift your foot and stomp on Minoru's knife hard!

[Ninja Moves: Seeout]

Bang!

After the gravity pressed on the blade, even the wind column couldn't help but have a momentary tilt of the center of gravity.

Staggered suddenly.

Immortal Chuan felt bad in his heart.

It's the center of gravity shift again, and last time too...

His pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes widened, blood spread wildly in the whites of his eyes, and the wooden knife in his hand clenched tightly.

Repeat the mistakes of the past!

This idea of his mind was not yet finished.

"——!"

A wisp of white vapor produced by the breathing method spread into his field of vision.

Too late to think.

Bang bang bang!!

With three whistling sounds of wooden knives cutting through the air.

The legs that were unbalanced due to the gravity tilt were suddenly hit hard by the wooden knife, and they completely lost the ability to support their balance!

Immortal Chuan, who maintained a sprinting motion, suddenly felt his vision spinning.

Subsequently.

Bang!

With a bang, the whole person presented a big character and lay flat in the courtyard again.

“… Yes! ”

He opened his eyes in a daze, his bloodshot eyes looked at the blue sky in disbelief, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The head is buzzing.

Same ending as last time.

It's the feeling again.

Minoru Immortal stared blankly at the sky, his grip on the hilt of the sword never letting go.

In the two battles with Tanjuro, he felt -

- Before the battle begins, the moves have already been seen through in advance.

Why is this happening.

Immortal Chuan lay on the ground, and he couldn't figure it out.

Meanwhile.

Sit in a circle on the side of the column.

"What...?"

Umi Tengen looked at Tanjuro in disbelief, he narrowed his eyes, pinched his knees with his hands, and straightened his upper body.

He expected Immortal to lose, after all, he seemed to be much healthier than the last time they met.

To the surprise of Ummy.

In a trance just now, he saw traces of 'ninja' from Tanjuro's body.

In addition to the Universe family... Are there still ninjas today...?

The rest of the pillars also looked at the fleeting immortal Minoru Kawa.

Purgatory Maki Jurou crossed his arms, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly—this was much more ruthless than when he was competing with him.

Iguro Kobanai, who had never seen Tanjuro fighting, was surprised to glance back and forth between Immortal River and Tanjuro.

Long.

Inside the roof.

"Celestial sound."

Yaoyashiki, who didn't hear the sound, turned his head to the sky beside him.

"Hmm." Tianyin nodded, she looked at Tanjuro who reached out in the courtyard to help the immortal river up, and explained to Yaoya:

"Your Excellency Wind Pillar has lost."

"That's right." After learning the result, Yaoya's expression was not surprised at all, he nodded, and then said to the bottom of the house:

"Don't be discouraged, Immortal."

Hearing this, Minoru who was helped up by Tanjuro hurriedly knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

"Being able to realize what's wrong is good enough."
