Chapter 201 The Ninomiya Family
……

……

In the afternoon, Futaba Makoto went out.

Today is the last day for him and Ninomiya Ye to end, that is, according to her family's tradition, the two will have a kendo exchange.

In fact, since having the system, Makoto Futaba's own physical strength is no longer comparable to what it used to be, and he will not be so tired that he vomits blood after running like before.

"The way of the sword." Makoto Futaba couldn't help but shook his head and thought about it.

If grandpa is still alive, seeing his physical fitness improve will definitely make him continue to practice swords, maybe?

[Cheng, do you know how hard Grandpa worked so hard to become the strongest swordsman in this continent when he was young? ]
[How hard? ]
[For example, there is a beautiful girl struggling in your arms right now! ]
[...Grandpa, surrender yourself. ]
[It is persuasion!persuade!Your grandfather and I have never done anything wrong in my life! ]
[so? ]
[Cheng, every time you meet an opponent in the future, you must defeat him with the strong belief of conquering a beautiful girl!This is the profound meaning of the sword that our Futaba family can be so powerful! ]
[Isn’t that the secret of your sword, Grandpa? ]
[I'm the only swordsman in the whole family, can't I represent it? ! ]
[......]
[Sincerely, you have to remember that there are all kinds of beautiful girls in this world, and only if you are strong enough can you win their hearts! ]
[But Grandpa, I don't practice swords for beautiful girls. ]
[What, then what are you doing for? ! ]
[...It seems that there is no reason for it. ]
[Then target beautiful girls! ]
[......]
……

"Think about it carefully, Grandpa seems to have entangled with many girls when he was young, but why did he end up with grandma?" Makoto Futaba looked up at the sky, the clouds moved slowly, and finally gathered together, "Or, grandpa wants to settle down?"

Grandma is just a very ordinary woman. When he was young, he also saw photos. She was not a good-looking one—a bit buck-toothed, with freckles on her face, but she was always gentle with others and never raised her voice when she spoke. , compared to grandma, grandpa was a handsome guy when he was young.

Maybe something happened to make Grandpa let go of his wandering heart.

……

The place agreed upon with Ninomiya Ye was at Okakuma Station. As for where Ninomiya Ye's family lived, Futaba Makoto naturally didn't know anything. He only knew that this girl came from a big family, maybe a famous one?
As an ACG fan who likes to stay at home, Makoto Futaba has never understood these things, and even Takahashi knows more than him.

"Xiao Kuma Station, Xiao Kuma Station is here..." The sound of the tram stopping sounded, and Futaba Makoto was standing outside the door at this time.

Pedestrians hurried, Futaba Cheng did not find the familiar figure.

And the appointed time was less than 5 minutes away.

"I didn't expect that guy from Ninomiya to be late, I really can't believe it." When Futaba Makoto was muttering, a voice suddenly came from behind, "I can't believe what?"

Turning around, a long-haired girl was holding her arms, looking at Makoto Futaba sharply.

Ninomiya Ye, who was wearing casual clothes, had a very different temperament from that of school uniform. She was wearing a white dress at this time, which softened the original sharp temperament a lot, and even added a touch of gentleness.

He also carried a mesh white leather bag on his arm, and he looked very mature, not like a student at all.

However, the bamboo knife was still brought by his side. What was different from usual was that the bamboo knife was now wrapped in a white cloth and replaced with a real knife. This guy would definitely not be able to enter the tram stop.

Futaba Makoto's gaze moved down involuntarily, and finally converged on Ninomiya Yori's chest.

Pseudo B-rank holy relic.

"Does it look good?" In front of him, Ninomiya Ye's rather indifferent voice came.

"Actually, there's nothing interesting about it." Makoto Futaba coughed dryly.

"I'm really sorry for not growing up." Ninomiya seemed to be very concerned about this, and his tone became even colder.

Makoto Futaba put on a serious face at this time: "No, there are also many flat-chested lovers in this world, and there is even a slogan - [How to flatten the world with uneven breasts]."

"..."

Ninomiya Ye was silent for a while, and then asked, "Really?"

"Ah... yes." Makoto Futaba was actually just joking, and after seeing the girl's serious expression, he had no choice but to nod.

Ninomiya Ye didn't ask any more questions.

Led by the girl, the two boarded the tram and got off in the Heishen District.

Looking at the girl walking quickly in front of him, Makoto Futaba was still wondering why there is such a big feudal family, and doesn't this guy find it strange?

Obviously a high school student with independent thinking ability.

"Ninomiya." At this time, Futaba Makoto said.

When Ninomiya heard Makoto Futaba calling him, he paused, then turned his head.

"If I really said that I want to marry you into the second palace family, what would you do?" Makoto Futaba asked curiously.

Ninomiya Ye: "Accept."

Just like her character, she responded cleanly.

Not even... no resistance at all?
"What if it's a boy you hate?"

"Same."

"It sounds so strange, if it's really a boy you don't like who accidentally looked at your body, you can accept it?"

Ninomiya Ye showed a strange smile: "I can also choose to kill him."

"That's why a big family like yours, which has been passed down for many years, has somewhat strange ideas." Makoto Futaba shrugged helplessly.

Ninomiya Night did not refute.

After about half an hour, the two finally arrived at their destination.

[Ninomiya] A simple wooden sign is hung on the side of the gate.

"What a big Japanese-style mansion..." Makoto Futaba looked at the huge building at the end of the alley, and couldn't help muttering.

The Ninomiya Ye family is indeed a big family. Standing outside the door at this time, apart from the fence, the looming courtyard and buildings inside seem to have no end in sight.

"Dong dong." Ninomiya Ye said nothing, and knocked on the door lightly.

After a while, a woman in a kimono opened the door with a kind smile on her face: "Miss...and Mr. Futaba, welcome to Ninomiya's house as guests."

The woman in front of me should be a servant of this family, Makoto Futaba is not sure, but she still responded politely with a smile.

After entering, there is a huge courtyard first, and the startled deer in the pool not far away makes a crisp sound as the bamboo tube is filled with water: "Boom!"

In fact, for a house with a yard, the wealth of the family can be seen from the landscape of the courtyard, and the various landscapes not far away are undoubtedly beyond Makoto Futaba's cognition.

Futaba Makoto followed all the way, and finally came to a building.

The building made of wooden materials has a sense of historical precipitation. After Makoto Futaba changed into slippers, he thought he would meet Ninomiya Yoshi's elders in an ordinary living room, but instead came to a room that seemed to be practicing swords.

It's very clean here, the floor is made of wood, so smooth that it can even reflect shadows.There are no extra decorations, only wooden posts full of cracks, hanging paintings with the word [静] in the distance, and a black samurai sword placed on a stand.

There was only a man in a black striped kimono inside. He was kneeling on the ground, as if he was quietly waiting for something. After Futaba Makoto and Ninomiya Ye walked in, his closed eyes slowly opened.

The man's face was not kind at all, Guo Zi's face was covered with tiny scars, and there was even a hideous cut on his nose.

"Father." Ninomiya Ye said, "I have already brought him."

Makoto Futaba also said, "Hi, I'm Ninomiya's classmate, Makoto Futaba."

The man stood up slowly. He was half a head taller than Futaba Makoto, a full 1.9 meters... Coupled with his burly figure, Futaba Makoto looked at the other side to examine his eyes. , the body tensed up involuntarily, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But Makoto Futaba quickly adjusted, and then looked at each other with a smile on his face.

"Very good, your eyes are very good." After Ninomiya's father nodded, his expression was not as serious as before, "I am Ye's father, Ninomiya Yizhi."

Futaba Makoto secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

"I've already heard what happened from Ye Ye." Ninomiya Yizhi looked at Futaba Makoto, "You looked at her body."

Futaba Makoto smiled awkwardly.

"That, I saw it by accident."

"I don't blame you, but according to Ninomiya's family rules, before the daughter is married, the body is absolutely not allowed to be seen by any man." Ninomiya Yizhi said.

"But if this has happened, there are only two options in front of you."

"One, marry my daughter."

"I have a girlfriend." Futaba Makoto said immediately.

After Ninomiya Yizhi heard the words, she didn't show any expression, but instead asked: "Is my daughter outstanding?"

"..." Futaba Makoto neither affirmed nor denied, "Uncle, Ninomiya Ye is indeed an excellent and attractive woman, and my girlfriend may not be as outstanding as Ninomiya, but in my eyes Always the best."

After hearing this, Ninomiya Yizhi showed a faint smile: "Excellent answer."

"You are rude."

"Then the second option is to let my daughter kill you." Ninomiya Yizhi's expression was similar to that of Ninomiya Ye.

Said the horrible words flatly.

"Her sword is no longer pure, and if it continues to develop like this, it will only be trapped in the inner demons and stop moving forward. Only by beheading you can Ye go one step further in overcoming the inner demons."

Shuangye Cheng: "..."

"Of course, the old rules are also restricted in today's society, so you don't have to worry." Ninomiya Yizhi said with a smile, "My daughter told me that she once defeated you."

Futaba Makoto shook his head: "Miss Ninomiya is very strong, I just won by chance."

"There is no need to be modest. I know my daughter's strength very well. She will never act like letting go, so I am also curious about your sword skills."

After Ninomiya Yizhi finished speaking, the servant next to him pushed out a knife holder, which displayed five or six samurai swords.

"My daughter said that she wanted to cut off her demons with her own hands, and she proposed another kendo competition with you, so no matter whether you win or lose, I don't think we will pursue this matter any further."

"Such a decision is the first time to break the old rules. Of course, I also agree."

Ninomiya Yi looked straight at Ninomiya Ye beside him: "Is that so, Ye?"

"Yes, Father." Ninomiya Ye nodded, "Whether I win or lose, even if I really lose, I will only put in more effort to catch up with him, and I will never let Makoto Futaba interfere with my sword." Heart."

After hearing what Ninomiya Ye said, Futaba Makoto took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

"Start now?"

"You don't need to be so anxious, you can rest here for a while." Ninomiya Yi pointed to the knife holder on the side, "It seems that you didn't bring a knife, so pick one here."

After Futaba Makoto saw those samurai swords, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked:

"that……"

"what?"

"A real knife test?"

"Yes." Ninomiya Yi straight nodded.

Futaba Makoto looked at Ninomiya Ye, who also nodded slightly.

"?!"

"Well, don't real knives hurt people?" Futaba Makoto couldn't help asking after realizing something was wrong.

"A sword has no eyes, and so does a kendo duel."

"..."

Futaba Makoto subconsciously looked out the door, and then found several strong men guarding there.

It seems to be playing for real.

Knowing that it was impossible for him to escape this exchange, he first took a look at Ninomiya Ye, only to find that the girl was resting with her eyes closed, as if she was adjusting her state.

"Come on." Futaba said sincerely, then stood up and walked to the knife holder.

After picking up the most pleasing knife, he picked it up.

The heavy feel is completely different from that of bamboo knives.

"Sure enough." Makoto Futaba realized that his strength had indeed increased. He pulled out the blade, and the cold glow of the blade reflected Makoto Futaba's face.

Perhaps because he realized the unusual origin of this knife, Makoto Futaba was a little puzzled. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked Ninomiya Yi directly:
"May I see the name of the cutler?"

Ninomiya Yizhi had no objection at all: "Yes."

Futaba Makoto fiddled with the blade, held the knife in his left hand and hit the tiger's mouth, and the handle came off directly.

At the original position of the handle, the name of the knife maker is now written on it.

[Echizen...]
"Isn't this an antique?" Makoto Futaba was stunned. He knew how expensive this thing was, and this kind of thing should be kept in a collection. How could it be used casually by him? !

How extravagant is the Ninomiya family?

After reassembling the sword, Futaba Makoto picked up another samurai sword, and after taking it apart, he found that it was also an amazing guy, and there was even a chrysanthemum pattern inside.

"..." Makoto Futaba remained silent for a while.

"Just these two." Originally, Makoto Futaba wanted to change to another sword, but after thinking that he could put these two swords together, the other katana swords were probably not ordinary goods, so he didn't choose any more.

The two samurai swords are very heavy, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to swing the air with one.

But Makoto Futaba can't help it. His swordsmanship requires two swords to be brought to the extreme, and one will only be hammered by Ninomiya Ye, let alone this kind of real sword duel.

"Come on..." Shuangye Cheng picked up the two knives, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
