Hearing Fusukawa's words, Uyashiki Yaoya smiled and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Yusui Tianyuan half-knelt beside Immortal River, and looked sideways in surprise:
"you…"
He opened his mouth slightly, the expression on his face changed, and he suddenly smiled. The jeweled headdress on both sides swayed slightly with his movements.
He gave a thumbs up to the Immortal River:
"It's a very grand statement of challenge."
Yusui Tianyuan nodded seriously:
"I'm optimistic about you."
"Um?"
Immortal Chuan Sanya glanced at him doubtfully, but didn't pay much attention.
because--
Due to the remote area he was responsible for and his bad temper, he didn't talk much with the ordinary swordsmen in the team.
In addition, after the last Zhuai meeting, because he was dissatisfied with his own strength, he kept practicing swordsmanship in his own dojo without paying any attention to external affairs.
eventually lead to.
Immortal Kawa Saneya——I only heard a few words about what happened recently.
For example, the news that the upper string appeared in Tokyo.
Another example is that the Knife Forging Village was attacked by ghosts, but there was no news of any casualties.
——But he didn’t know the details.
After all - Uyashiki Yaoya is planning to officially announce these things at this meeting.
And after Tanjuro agreed to Fusukawa's request.
…
In the courtyard.
The other pillars sat around, facing the same direction as their lord, looking at Tanjuro and Immortal River standing in the middle.
For some reasons, it was Makijuro who came to attend the meeting on behalf of "Yanzhu" this time.
After seeing the energetic Makijuro again, although they didn't know what happened, the pillars felt much relieved.
'We are all really happy to see you back. '
This is what Ubuyashiki Yōya said when he met Makijuro.
Um! Everyone turned out pretty gorgeous.
Yusui Tianyuan glanced at the other pillars, put his hand with colored nail polish on his chin, and nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, the most conspicuous one is me.
--only.
He opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Tomioka Giyu, who was sitting not far away and kept looking at him.
——Tomioka?
——Why have you been staring at me from the beginning...?
Yusui Tianyuan touched his forehead in confusion.
The gems on his headdress sparkled in the sunlight as he moved.
——Could it be that...I am just too gorgeous today...?
Yusui Tianyuan is opposite.
! !
was discovered.
Tomioka Yiyong looked shocked (unable to tell) and found that Uzui noticed his gaze, so he slowly moved his gaze away as if nothing had happened.
Sure enough...not alone...
He was still thinking about the figure he saw last night.
…
At this time.
In the middle of the courtyard surrounded by columns.
"then!"
Immortal Sekawa Saneya threw a wooden sword to Tanjuro, and he held another wooden sword in one hand, with the blade facing the ground.
Snapped!
Tanjuro reached out to catch the thrown wooden sword and clenched it tightly.
The dark red eyes reflected the raised corners of Immortal River's mouth.
——If you don’t completely convince him, it may not go smoothly when you guide him through the world later...
With this thought.
His hand gripped the handle of the knife harder and harder.
After the two looked at each other for a while.
Creak!
boom!
Immortal Kawa Saneya twisted his feet, raised his arms quickly, tightened his muscles, and charged from the opposite side like a cannonball!
In an instant, a spiraling wind blade spun around the whole body from the straight outstretched blade!
After the last lesson, he abandoned the flying move.
It turned into something that was almost impossible to defend against and could only be avoided.
——Quick thrust!
Uh-huh!
The light green figure flew across the courtyard quickly.
Saneya's center of gravity sank, and he smiled, but the smile looked extremely ferocious against the scars on his face.
only.
The moment he suddenly stabbed in front of Tanjuro.
Snap.
A foot stretched out from the side and stepped on the blade of his thrusting sword.
Shimi's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly looked up at the foot——
——It’s Tanjuro!
…
After passing through the world, he judged in advance that Shiya was using a thrusting technique.
A question mark slowly rose above Tanjuro's head.
The thrusting technique reminded him of an old friend who kept jumping up and down on the castle tower.
Almost out of muscle memory, when Saneya arrived in front of him with the sudden thrust of the wind, Tanjuro took a step forward and turned sideways.
Snap!
He raised his foot and stepped hard on Shimi's sword!
[Ninja moves·seeing through]
boom!
After gravity pressed on the blade, even the wind column couldn't help but tilt its center of gravity for a moment.
Staggered suddenly.
Immortal River suddenly felt bad in his heart.
Another shift in the center of gravity, the same as last time...
His pupils shrank suddenly, his eye sockets widened, bloodshot eyes spread crazily in the whites of his eyes, and he clenched the wooden knife in his hand tightly.
Repeat the same mistake!
This idea has not yet finished in his mind.
"Bah——!"
A wisp of white vapor produced by the breathing method spread into his field of vision.
No time to think.
Bang bang bang! !
With the whistling sound of three wooden knives cutting through the air.
The legs that were unbalanced due to the tilt of gravity were suddenly hit hard by the wooden knife, and they completely lost the ability to support balance!
Immortal River, who kept sprinting, suddenly felt his vision spinning.
Subsequently.
boom!
With a sound, a big character appeared on his whole body, and he lay flat in the courtyard again.
"…ah!"
He opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at the blue sky with bloodshot eyes in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time.
My head is buzzing.
Same ending as last time.
It's this feeling again.
Immortal Chuan Shiya stared blankly at the sky, his hand holding the handle of the knife never letting go.
In the two battles with Tanjuro, he felt it——
——Before the battle even begins, the moves have been seen through in advance.
Why is this happening.
Immortal River lay on the ground, he was puzzled.
at the same time.
Sitting on the side in a circle of pillars.
"Varied…?"
Usui Tianyuan looked at Tanjuro in surprise. He narrowed his eyes, held his crossed knees with his hands, and straightened his upper body.
He expected that Immortal Sichuan would be defeated. After all, this person looked much healthier than the last time they met.
What surprised Yu Xu.
In the dazed moment just now, he saw traces of...'ninja' on Tanjuro's body.
Apart from the Yusui family...are there still ninjas existing today...?
The other pillars also looked at the fleeting Immortal Kawa Saneya.
Purgatory Makijuro crossed his arms and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly - this was much harsher than when he competed with him.
Iguro Kobanai, who had never seen Tanjuro fight before, glanced back and forth between the Immortal River and Tanjuro in surprise.
for a long time.
Inside the roof.
"Tianyin."
Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya, who didn't hear the sound, turned his head to Amane beside him.
"Yes." Tianyin nodded. She looked at Tanjuro in the courtyard who reached out to help Immortal River up, and explained to Yaoya:
"Your Excellency Fengzhu lost."
"That's it." After learning the result, Yaoya didn't look surprised at all. He nodded, and then said to the balcony:
"Don't be discouraged, Immortal River."
When Saneya, who was helped up by Tanjuro, heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
"If you can realize what's wrong, you've done a good enough job."
