The girl next door turns into a cat

Chapter 26 The Kendo Club with Only Two People (for further reading)

"Huh—the exam is over."

"Whoa, don't mention the exam."

"Eh?"

"I feel like I failed the test, I must have failed the test."

"."

"Whoa, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Well, how should I put it, I don't believe your words like "failed the exam" anymore."

"."

The bell rang after school in the afternoon, and the exam was over.Suzuki Mamoru picked up the shoulder bag.

Most of the people around me gathered together in twos and threes, and had various discussions around today's exam, those who felt that they didn't pass the exam and those who thought they would definitely pass, and those who disagreed with the answer, arguing about the result of a certain question.

"It's definitely an A, right?"

"No, it must be B."

The two boys looked at the No.3 boy together: "Tell me, what is the answer?"

".Is it possible that the answer is C?"

"."

"Damn, wrong."

"It's over."

"Hey, didn't I say don't check the answer with me? You bastard."

"Huh? Blame me? You're the one who came to me, right?"

"you"

"Sorry, please let me go." Suzuki Mamoru politely interrupted the two standing in the middle of the aisle, who were confronting each other with a look of "worshipping each other".

"Oh."

The two stepped aside politely.After Suzuki Mamoru walked by, they stuck together again, arguing over whose responsibility it was.

Suzuki Mamoru walked out of the classroom alone.

Exams are over and there is nothing left to say.Compared with the final exam, he was more concerned about the upcoming kendo practice.

After coming out of the class, walk along the corridor of the teaching building, turn a corner, and arrive at the second floor of the club building.

Go down the stairs to the first floor.

After coming out of the stairs, looking through the students in twos and threes, you can see that in the corner of the first floor and in the deepest part of the corridor, there is the Kendo Department.

In front of the activity room of the Kendo Club, Michiyo Yucheng should have just arrived, and seemed to be holding a key to open the door. It was a little far away, so I couldn't see clearly.

Suzuki Mori stepped forward and walked over.

After walking a few steps, Yucheng Michiyo, who had just opened the door, turned his head to look in his direction, and the eyes of the two met in the air.

Suzuki paused, then quickened his pace and walked over quickly.Without making Michiyo Tamaki wait too long, Mamoru Suzuki came to the door of the activity room,

"Student Yucheng."

"Ah."

He followed her into the Kendo Department, and then closed the door of the activity room.

In the closed activity room, the hustle and bustle of the campus suddenly stopped.

Then, Yucheng Michiyo walked to the side of the shoe rack, squatted down, and took off the school's indoor shoes.The white socks were also taken off, and he stepped barefoot on the wooden floor.

Suzuki Mori watched subconsciously.

The hem of the uniform skirt has slipped due to the squatting posture, revealing a little side of the thigh, which is dazzlingly white, and the bare feet and round toes after taking off the socks are also white and clean.

"It makes people feel that even the toes are clean." This is Kawabata Yasunari's description of Komako in "Snow Country", and it is unexpectedly appropriate to put it here.

Until Michiyo Yucheng got up, the skirt fell again, covering his thighs, and the girl gave him a puzzled look.

Suzuki Shoucai came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, walked to the shoe rack, put down the shoulder bag, and followed suit.

After he took off his shoes and socks and felt his feet get cold when he stepped on the wooden floor, Michiyo Yucheng walked over from the side again and handed him a blue kendo suit.

"Lend it to you."

Suzuki Mori stood up and looked at the girl's hand, taking it with some hesitation.

"After washing, try to see if it fits well. There may still be deviations in the visual inspection." Yucheng Michiyo said briefly, then walked to the side away from the door, opened the door of the cubicle and walked in - it was the changing room.

Before closing the door, Yucheng Michiyo said again: "I'll change inside, you change outside."

Suzuki Mori looked at the closed door of the changing room, and then looked down at the kendo suit in his hand.There was a little rubbing sound of shredded clothes in my ears.

"."

He starts changing clothes.

This is not the first time I have come into contact with kendo uniforms. Although it is troublesome to put on the hakama, it can be put on after a while. When the belt of the hakama is tied, Yucheng Michiyo has already put on the kendo uniform and came out of the changing room.

It was somewhat awkward for a young girl to watch him tie the laces, but Michiyo Tamaki seemed to be unaware of this.

After finally putting on the kendo uniform, Mamoru Suzuki folded the clothes he had taken off and put them on the shoulder bag on the side. At the same time, Michiyo Yucheng also opened the curtains and windows.

In the closed activity room, the air was recirculated, and the noise in the ears became louder.

"Does it fit?" Yucheng Michiyo looked at him and asked.

"It's okay." Suzuki Mamoru finally adjusted his kendo uniform, "It's just a little wider."

"Well. If Suzuki-san really wants to learn kendo, I suggest you order a set of kendo uniforms."

"Okay, I will."

Suzuki complied, and stopped moving his clothes, and then looked around again at the activity room where there were only him and Yucheng Michiyo, his eyes stayed on the girl who looked more neat and tidy after changing into a white kendo uniform for a while.

After a while, he asked again: "Speaking of which, student Yucheng, I wanted to ask last Friday. Is there only student Yucheng in the Kendo Department?"

Tamaki Michiyo was walking towards the sword stand next to her, and pulled out two bamboo swords from the stand.

"Only me." She walked towards Suzuki Mamoru and handed him one of them.

"Is there any problem?" Suzuki Mori took the bamboo sword and asked curiously.

Formal associations with independent activity rooms are not so easy to apply for, at least for "only one member", it is almost impossible to be allowed.

"There are some reasons." Yucheng Michiyo took the bamboo sword and walked aside, "Okay, let's start."

"Oh." Suzuki Mamoru didn't ask any more questions.

He followed Yucheng Michiyo and stood opposite her, keeping a distance of "one sword and one foot"——

The so-called "one sword, one foot" distance is the standard distance in the way of kendo where one can attack one step further and one step back one can defend.

"Before that, let me ask." Yucheng Michiyo looked at him, "Suzuki-san's kendo knowledge, where did you learn it?"

Suzuki Mamoru thought for a while, and replied: "Kendo etiquette, standing posture, basic footwork, sword-holding posture, middle frame, sword swing method, that's about it."

"Oh, and the rules of kendo." Suzuki Mamoru added, which he taught himself over the weekend.

Tamaki Michiyo looked at him, and Suzuki Mori returned with a searching look.

"What's wrong?"

"That's all?" The girl frowned slightly.

"I've only been studying for a week."

"Nine types and thirteen knives?"

——Basic skills in kendo, in layman's terms, are the moves of using a sword.

"I've heard the name."

"."

"That...?" Suzuki looked at the girl who was speechless for a while.

Michiyo Tamaki seemed to sigh slightly, "I'm sorry, maybe because I saw Suzuki-san wielding a sword, I misjudged "One Week" and set my expectations too high. The disappointment now is only caused by myself. "

"."

The word "disappointed" is a no-brainer.
"Actually, I should be quite talented and a quick learner." Suzuki Mamoru defended.

"is it?"

"Yes." Suzuki Mamoru confirmed.

"Okay." Yucheng Michiyo no longer entangled in her misjudgment, she raised the bamboo sword.

"Then let's get started."
