While Aoto was wandering around the fireworks display venue with Mai Kinoshita——
Edo, somewhere, an izakaya, a private room——
"So...Brother Chong, you suddenly called me out, what do you want?"
Chiba Tamonshiro picked up the sake at hand and filled himself a glass.
"Brother Tamon!" Chiba Jutaro, who was sitting opposite Chiba Tamon Shiro, looked excited. "I have a new plan for tomorrow's fireworks display!"
Hearing what Chiba Jutaro said, Chiba Tamonshiro was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"Brother Chong, what new plan have you come up with?"
"Brother Duomen, when the fireworks are released tomorrow night, we can find some excuse to leave, giving Mr. Tachibana a chance to be alone with Zuo Nazi."
"Huh? Isn't this... too difficult?"
"It's not big at all! I've thought up all the excuses for you! I said I wanted to relieve myself, and you just said you were hungry and wanted to buy something to eat. You see, in this way, the two of us can't have sex naturally Have you left?"
Chiba Jutaro grabbed the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Let's wait for 1 or 2 sticks of incense before coming back, leaving enough time for Jujun and Zuo Nazi to be alone. Duomen brother, what do you think of my plan?"
"...It seems to be okay." Chiba Tamonshiro sighed softly, "It's much more reliable than the messy plans you came up with before."
As for why the cousins Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Tamonshiro are discussing some "plan" of Lao Shizi at this moment... This all stems from the fact that more than ten days ago, the two of them formed a "bringing together Qingnobo and Zuo Speaking of the day of the united front of "Na Zi".
On the day the brothers formed a "united front", they fell into a dilemma because they had almost no experience in matters involving men and women and had no idea what to do.
At this moment of helplessness, Chiba Jutaro heard the sound of Kagiya trying to set off fireworks.
At that moment, thousands of inspirations emerged in Chiba Jutaro's mind!
Fireworks—Fireworks Display—A man and a girl watch a fireworks display together... Chiba Jutaro's imagination leaps ahead like never before!
This leap of imagination turned into a bold idea: Why not try to get Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi to go to the fireworks display to watch the fireworks?
Fireworks displays have always been an event where sparks are most likely to spark between young men and women.
The reason is not complicated either——
In a grand ceremony that only happens once a year, colorful fireworks bloom repeatedly in the night sky, and the bright firelight illuminates the eyes and cheeks of oneself and those around him... Whether it is a boy or a girl, facing such a scene, such It's hard not to be distracted by the atmosphere.
Although "parents' orders and matchmaker's words" are the absolute mainstream of marriage in this era, there are also many men and women who finally get together through "free love".
Especially among civilians, "free love" is a very common thing.
Civilians don't have as many red tapes as samurai, so they are much freer and more open-minded than samurai.
Every summer, you can see many young men and women entering the venue of the fireworks display and enjoying the joy of the celebration together.
There are countless examples of people who were influenced by the beautiful atmosphere of the fireworks display and formed a relationship, and even ended up getting married soon after.
Chiba Jutaro thought to himself: This year's fireworks display is coming...then this is a good opportunity!
If Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi can participate in the fireworks display together... then maybe Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi can become a couple this year!
Then in another year, Zuo Nazi will be able to change his surname to "Juzuo Nazi"!
Then in another year, I will have a nephew or niece!
The overly beautiful imagination made Chiba Jutaro curl up his lips uncontrollably.
However... although the idea is wonderful, the question is: how can we make it natural for these two people to participate in the fireworks display together?
Directly tell Zuo Nazi: "Hey, Zuo Nazi, the fireworks display is in a few days. Do you want to watch the fireworks with Mr. Ju?"... This is definitely not possible!
Chiba Jutaro knew Zuo Nazi's temper best.
Although he is 22 years old, he still has a strong rebellious streak in his character.
The more you ask Zuo Nazi to do something, the more she wants to do the opposite to you.
She is like a cat that is both noble and grumpy.
If you touch her hair, she will be friendly to you.
If you touch her against her fur...serve her directly with "meow fist",
Chiba Jutaro could even imagine what would happen if he said bluntly to Zuo Nazi, "You and Tachibana-kun go watch the fireworks together" - Zuo Nazi would definitely roll his eyes at him and coldly leave "Why should I?" Going to watch the fireworks with Mr. Tachibana?" and then walked away without looking back.
Moreover, Chiba Jutaro was not sure what kind of feelings Zuo Nazi had towards Qingto now.
Although it seems that Saunako has a good relationship with Aoto recently... Chiba Jutaro still vividly remembers the scene where Saunako bluntly said "I don't like Tachibana-kun".
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Chiba Jutaro decided to act cautiously.
He informed his only current comrade of his idea of "trying to get Aoshito and Sonako to participate in the fireworks display"...that is, Chiba Tamon Shiro. I worked closely with Shiro Chiba Tamon to think about how to turn this idea into reality.
Speaking of Chiba Tamon Shiro... After the red and white battle of "Genbukan vs. Shoeikan", he became obviously more enthusiastic about the cause of "bringing Aitobo and Sonako together".
Chiba Tamonshiro's temperament is like this: he respects the strong and despises the weak.
As long as your strength and talent are amazing enough, even if I have been unhappy with you before, I am still willing to see you in a new light.
The Red and White Battle a few days ago made Chiba Tamonshiro personally feel the power of Aoto... From the day he lost to Aoto, Chiba Tamonshiro was determined to "try to make Aoto become the son-in-law of their Chiba family." "There is no objection to the matter of land.
In addition to Chiba Tamon Shiro, many disciples of the Xuanbu Hall admired Aoto because of this loss to the Shiwei Hall.
Defeated... This certainly made the disciples of Xuanwu Hall feel unwilling to accept it, but apart from being unhappy, they also admired Qingdeng for single-handedly sending most of their players off the field.
This is also due to the atmosphere of Xuanwu Hall.
Under the leadership of the quite aggressive Chiba Michizaburo, the entire Xuanbu Hall was filled with an atmosphere of belligerence and eagerness to compete with the strong.
Therefore, relatively strong people can get special respect and courtesy in their Xuanwu Hall.
He beat up the disciples of the Xuanwu Hall, and as a result, his popularity in the Xuanwu Hall soared - such a result was beyond Qingdeng's expectation.
Obviously neither of them are good at dealing with matters between men and women, but this pair of brothers succeeded in coming up with a decent and quite operational plan——
On the pretext of "holding a swordsmanship performance at the fireworks festival venue", they deceived Qingto and Zuo Nazi! The swordsmanship performance will be carried out as expected, but during this period, we will try our best to create opportunities for Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi to be alone and have close contact. When the fireworks start to set off, they will say, "You are here, let's just go and watch the fireworks." "As an excuse, it is logical to create an opportunity for Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi to watch the fireworks together!
Zuo Nazi was very interested in activities related to swordsmanship.
Tell her "come to watch the fireworks" and she will probably not come. But if you say to her, "Come and hold a sword show," she will most likely agree happily.
Chiba Jutaro grasped this preference of Zuo Nazi.
Sure enough, when Chiba Jutaro told Sanako that he was going to demonstrate swordsmanship with Chiba Tamonshiro at the fireworks display, Sanako immediately said with bright eyes, "Please let me participate!"
The above is the truth behind why Chiba Jutaro suddenly held a swordsmanship performance and invited Aonto to participate.
Everything is a routine.
So far, the plan is going quite smoothly.
Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi have successfully taken the "hook".
In recent days, Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Tamonshiro met every two days to discuss and improve the action plan.
Just like this moment, Chiba Jutaro made an appointment with Chiba Tamonshiro again to explain his new "battle plan".
"anyway……"
Chiba Tamonshiro suddenly changed the subject.
"Brother Zhong, have you told Zuo Nazi that Jun Ju will come to participate in the swordsmanship performance tomorrow night?"
Chiba Jutaro was stunned and waved his hand: "Not yet, I plan to wait until tomorrow afternoon to tell her."
"Are you going to wait until so late to tell her?"
"Humph, don't you understand this?"
Chiba Jutaro grinned.
"It's safe enough to wait until the last moment when she has no time to regret."
It was obvious that the "battle" would begin the next night, but until now, Chiba Jutaro had not told Zuo Nazi that "Aoden would perform swordsmanship with us".
The reason is just as Chiba Jutaro said just now: to prevent Zonazi from feeling regretful after hearing the news and refusing to participate in the swordsmanship performance tomorrow night.
Chiba Jutaro is still studying Zonazi's current feelings and attitude towards Qingto.
In order to ensure that tomorrow night's "battle" can be a complete success, Chiba Jutaro's every move and every move adopts a "cautious, more prudent" attitude.
"Ah! Brother Duomen! I thought of another idea that feels very good!"
Chiba Jutaro slapped his thigh violently, and then told Chiba Tamonshiro his so-called "new idea" with great interest: try to persuade Zuo Nazi to put on makeup tomorrow night...
…
…
About half an hour later——
Edo, Okemachi, Little Chiba Sword Hall, the No. 1 field exclusively used by members of the Chiba family——
call--! call--! call--!
The sound of the wooden naginata being swung at high speed filled every corner of the dojo.
Dressed in a white and blue kendo uniform, Zonako stood in the center of the dojo, waving a wooden naginata at high speed that was a head taller than herself.
The ponytail swung and the black hair flew.
Her pretty face and pink neck glowed with a seductive red light, covered with glistening beads of sweat.
Looking at the delicate skills contained in the sword, and the speed of the sword that can swing such a large sword up and down with great force, one would not dare to underestimate Zuonazi's naginata skills as "a mere woman's skill". It's a trick."
Although Zuonako is proficient in the Kodachi technique of Beichen Itto style, the naginata technique is her best martial art.
After completing a whole set of swordsmanship movements in one breath, Zuonako handed the naginata to his left palm. While gasping "Ha...ha...", he put his free right hand into the lapel of his clothes and took it out. A handkerchief for wiping sweat, gently testing the sweat beads on the face with graceful movements.
"It's still not going well..."
Zuo Nako looked at the naginata in his hand and murmured.
She had just been practicing the new moves Chiba Sadayoshi taught her a few days ago.
I have practiced it over and over again, but there is always a certain movement that I can't do smoothly.
"Go and ask father for advice..."
After his breathing stabilized and the sweat on his face and neck was wiped clean, Zuo Nako held the naginata in his arms and strode toward his father Chiba Nobuyoshi's room at a leisurely pace.
After a while, Chiba Nobuyoshi's bedroom appeared in front of Zuo Nazi.
"Father."
"Huh? Zuo Nazi, what's wrong?"
"There's something about the new move you taught me that I can't practice well, so I want to ask you for advice."
"Oh... then come in."
"yes."
At this moment, Chiba Nobuyoshi was taking some time out from his busy schedule to sit by the eucalyptus and read a book.
After Zuo Nazi opened the door, he put down the book in his hand and said softly to Zuo Nazi:
"Zuo Nazi, which part of the movement do you not understand?"
"Father, for some reason, when I exert force in this position and lift the blade upward, I always feel that the power cannot be transmitted..."
…
Zuo Nazi succinctly informed Chiba Nobuyoshi of her urgent need to solve her doubts.
"Oh... That's because your posture is not right. Your legs are too spread apart, so the force cannot be transferred smoothly from the ground to your waist and arms..."
Chiba Sadaiki patiently guided Zonazi.
"I see...I understand. Father, thank you for your advice."
After saying this, Zuo Nazi was about to get up and return to the dojo to test whether the hint given by Chiba Nobuyoshi just now was a coincidence.
However, just when she was about to stand up, Chiba Nobuyoshi suddenly called out to her.
"Zuo Nazi, wait a moment."
"Huh? Father, what's wrong?"
"Well...it's nothing, I just have a question I want to ask you."
"Question?" Zuo Nazi bent his knees and sat back down, "Father, please ask."
"Zuo Nazi, I noticed that you have been practicing martial arts very diligently recently, and you are still in a good mood..." Chiba Nobuyoshi smiled, "So I want to ask you: What have you encountered recently that made you feel good? Is it a good thing?"
Zuo Nazi was startled.
Then smiled:
"Father, you are worrying too much. I haven't encountered anything good recently that made me feel happy."
"The reason why I have been practicing martial arts so much recently...is not for any special reason. I just feel that my physical condition is quite good recently, so I want to take advantage of this good momentum to practice more martial arts."
"..." Chiba Nobuyoshi glanced deeply at Zuo Nazi, then said "huh" and took a deep breath, "Okay. No matter what, it is a good thing that you are diligent in practicing martial arts and in a good mood. .”
"Keep it up."
"But you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't injure your body."
Zuo Nazi: "Yes!"
…
…
After coming out of Chiba Nobuyoshi's room, Zuo Nazi did not leave immediately.
"Aha……"
She took a deep breath and used the back of her spine to find the corridor wall beside her.
She just lied.
She recently... indeed encountered something good that made her feel happy.
…
(Miss Zuo Nazi, you don’t need to belittle yourself. If you strive for the best and move forward bravely, then no one or anything in this world can stop you from shining. With your ability, Miss Zuo Nazi, one day you will be able to excel in martial arts. Achieve achievements that everyone agrees with.)
…
Qingdeng's voice echoed in Zuo Nazi's ears...
These were the exact words Aintō said to Zonazi a while ago when he was resting in the inner courtyard after wiping his sweat after defeating the heroes of the Little Chiba Sword Hall.
After the words that were still ringing in my ears even though a lot of time had passed, a faint smile appeared on Zuo Nazi's cheeks.
Qingdeng probably didn't expect that...his words at that time could actually inspire Zuo Nazi so much.
Yes, I do not have the talent of Tachibana-kun... But as long as I work hard persistently, I can achieve outstanding achievements in martial arts that cannot be lost to anyone!
Zuo Nazi took a deep breath.
The heart is full of pride and ambition.
He wished that a pair of wings would immediately grow on his back, fly back to the dojo quickly, and continue to practice martial arts hard.
However, at this moment, Zuo Nazi suddenly felt his brain recalling the past uncontrollably.
After recalling what Qingdeng said that day, I began to involuntarily think back to the scene I accidentally saw that day...
The half-fruited Qingdeng... has almost no fat, only a muscular upper body...
"..."
Zuo Nazi pursed his lips slightly, closed his eyes tightly, bent the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and tapped his forehead repeatedly with the second joint of his two fingers like a wooden fish.
"This kind of scene...is there anything worth remembering...?"
While muttering to himself in a scolding and annoyed tone, he used his tenacious willpower to force himself not to think about this "obscene" scene again.
After his mind calmed down a little, Zuo Nazi shook his head vigorously a few times, then hugged the wooden naginata and quickly returned to the dojo without stopping.
Returning to Court A, and setting up their stance in the middle of the court, ready to start training again, Zuo Nazi suddenly heard familiar heavy footsteps coming from the door.
Following the sound, the figure of his brother jumped into view.
"Brother, you are back."
Tonight's "secret meeting" between Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Tamonshiro ended successfully just now.
As far as the result is concerned, the two brothers' meeting tonight still produced some meaningful results, and it was not a waste of time and drink money.
The two reached a unanimous consensus on the suggestion that "when the fireworks are set off tomorrow night, they both find excuses to leave, leaving Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi enough space to be alone."
Chiba Jutaro, who had returned home with great excitement, stood at the door of the dojo and cast a surprised look at Zuo Nako in the dojo.
"Eh? Zuo Nazi. It's so late, are you still practicing martial arts?"
"Yes. I am in good physical condition today, so I want to stay in the dojo for a while."
"That's right..." Chiba Jutaro laughed, "Although practicing martial arts diligently is a good thing, you should also pay more attention to rest."
"Brother." Zuo Nazi said helplessly, "I'm not the kind of layman who doesn't even understand the principle of 'combination of work and rest'."
"Hahaha, you just have to know it by yourself. Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you can practice without any worries!"
After leaving these words, Chiba Jutaro turned around and strode away.
Clattering up the stairs to the second floor, he was about to return to his room——
"Jutaro."
The voice of his father Chiba Nobuyoshi came from his side.
"Huh? Father?" Chiba Jutaro turned around and faced Chiba Nobuyoshi who suddenly appeared beside him with his hands behind his back expressionlessly, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Jutaro, you...come with me."
"Huh? Uh...where?"
"Come to my room, I have a question for you."
"Problem? Hmm...I understand..."
Although he didn't understand why, Chiba Jutaro still obeyed the order obediently.
He and Chiba Nobuyoshi walked through several corridors one after another and came to the old father's bedroom.
As soon as his legs were crossed and his butt settled on the tatami, Chiba Jutaro asked first:
"Father, do you have any questions to ask me?"
"It's not a serious question." Chiba Dingji said calmly, "Zuo Nazi is always in a good mood recently, and he practices martial arts very hard. So I want to ask you, what do you think about Zuo Nazi's remarks? Changes, do you know the inside story?"
"Huh? This...I'm not sure..."
"You don't know either..."
"But having said that, Zuo Nako has really been very diligent recently! I just saw her practicing the naginata in Field A!"
After saying that, Chiba Jutaro sighed with emotion.
"Although I don't know why Zuo Nazi is so diligent all of a sudden... but this is a good thing! Zuo Nazi has been stuck in a bottleneck recently. If she works hard at this stage, she might be able to break through the current bottleneck in one go! A new level!”
"..."
"I just hope that Zuo Nazi can maintain her current state. She has always been talented! If she can maintain her current momentum and work harder, it won't take long for her to reach new heights. !”
"..."
Chiba Jutaro, who became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, straightened his waist.
"Given time, Zuo Nazi might become a warrior Ji worthy of being famous in history!"
"..."
Compared with the excited Chiba Jutaro, Chiba Nobuyoshi has been showing a completely different expression since just now.
He said nothing and looked solemn...
…
…
Little Chiba Sword Hall, Field A——
——No...I still feel that my movements are not smooth...
Zuo Nazi frowned slightly, staring thoughtfully at the naginata in his hand.
——I have obviously followed my father’s instructions... What is it that I haven’t done well...?
——Let’s ask my father again...
Zuo Nazi, who decided to ask his old father for more advice, once again held the naginata in his arms and walked quickly towards Chiba Nobuyoshi's bedroom.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the room, she was surprised to find Chiba Jutaro's voice coming from the room.
--Um? Brother?
Zuo Nazi stopped outside the room and blinked doubtfully at the closed door in front of him.
——Why is my brother in his father’s room?
Although she didn't know the reason why Chiba Jutaro appeared in her father's room, for the sake of politeness, Sanako decided to wait a while before visiting again.
However, at this moment——
"Father, you said, 'Zuo Nazi can't do it'... what do you mean?"
Chiba Jutaro's exclamation penetrated the door and reached Zuo Nazi's ears clearly.
Suddenly hearing his own name... Zuo Nazi's delicate body couldn't help but stiffen.
She subconsciously stopped and listened, and then she heard a whisper... like thousands of thunders roaring in her ears.
"That's the literal meaning. Zuo Nazi can't do it. She can't become a warrior Ji who can leave a name in Qing history with her martial arts achievements. Her achievements... can only stop here."
