Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 469 There are robbers at home!

"It is a kendo tournament that originated in the Warring States Period. It has a history of several hundred years. However, due to various reasons in recent decades, the Oda Nobunaga Imperial Tournament was suspended for a time. Only recently, there was new news."

"In general, it is a special kind of kendo competition - a sword-fighting competition with no rules."

"There are no restrictions on genres, age, gender, or weapons. The most important thing is that there are no restrictions on life and death. Of course, this may change in this competition, but in previous competitions, there were always very bloody and cruel killings."

Michiko Tetsu spoke in a light tone, and after she finished speaking, she took another sip of coffee.

Shimizu Koji thought for a while, then said directly: "So, Madam wants me to participate in this competition? I don't have any problem with it, on the contrary, I prefer this rule. But, what is the purpose of Madam asking me to participate in this competition? It can't be to hone my swordsmanship, right? If that's the case, then I may not be able to spare the time~."

Michiko Tetsu didn't expect that Koji Shimizu would say that, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She glanced at Koji Shimizu's face, smiled slightly, and a hint of helpless doting appeared in her eyes.

"I have nothing to hide from you. Once the Oda Nobunaga Imperial Tournament begins, it will definitely attract powerful kendo masters from all over the world to participate. And that guy will most likely not miss such a grand event."

"So, Koji-kun, do you understand?"

"I understand."

"The preliminaries will be held at the beginning of next month, which is more than half a month away. However, with your current strength, you will definitely have no problem in the preliminaries. But don't take it lightly. In addition, you need to speed up your kendo training."

The way Tetsu Michiko spoke today was as if she was chatting with Shimizu Koji, or in other words, she was giving earnest instructions and gentle encouragement to a junior who was about to face an academic exam, instead of the tense, cold, and naked transaction at the beginning.

Koji Shimizu naturally felt the change in Michiko's attitude. He didn't think about negotiating any conditions. He just nodded and agreed.

"Stay for breakfast. I'll have someone take you back later."

"Um, ma'am, there's no need for breakfast. I have something else to do today. I may need to pick someone up at the airport."

Shimizu Koji smiled awkwardly and quickly refused. His eyes were evasive for once, but fortunately, Michiko Tetsu didn't think much about it and didn't notice it.

"Oh? In that case, then fine. However, if you are free in the next two days, come over here and I will talk to you about some details about the preliminaries later."

Although Michiko Tetsu was talking about the preliminaries, Koji Shimizu still understood what she meant.

Although Tetsu Michiko didn't know the specific progress of him and Tetsu Moriha, it was unlikely that he was innocent since he took on this task. Combined with various previous signs, it was likely that Tetsu Michiko had some intentions in that regard a long time ago.

Shimizu Koji recalled the two times he had come before. When Michiko talked to him about kendo, she would occasionally bring up issues related to the group, economy, and even politics. Not only did she bring them up, she would also patiently explain them to him.
Although he didn't know why Michiko Tetsu fell in love with him at that time, Shimizu Koji never underestimated himself. He could say without exaggeration that if his body were put up for public auction, it would be counted by gram and the price would definitely be far higher than that of gold.

"I know, I will."

"I'll have someone prepare a car for you. I'll go downstairs with you."

Michiko Tetsu said no more. She stood up and walked out of the room with Shimizu Koji.

——This trip to the Tie family can be said to be full of surprises and gains. Anyway, when Shimizu Koji went there, he was penniless, but when he returned home, he had a luxurious Bentley limousine, a valuable manor villa in Karuizawa, and a wife. Well, he didn't bring his wife with him.

If I bring it back, my family will probably explode.

Fortunately, the Kudo family's garage was big enough, otherwise Shimizu Koji would have been worried again. After parking the car, Shimizu Koji had the rare urge to stay in the garage and look at the car for a few more times before walking back to the yard.

When he walked to the gate, Koji Shimizu looked at his "home" which he had been away from for a night, and felt a little subtle in his heart. He was homesick, just like a cat that stole food and was worried about being discovered when it returned home.

When he reached the gate, Shimizu Koji probably had a mental breakdown of why he shouldn't go home. Then he felt his pocket and realized that he didn't have his keys with him.

"Ding-dong-"

Then just ring the doorbell, there's no need to hesitate.

Koji Shimizu's smile contained five parts of expectation, three parts of tenderness, and two parts of uneasiness.

But soon, the door opened, and the person who opened the door made Koji Shimizu's eyes widen instantly, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Yes, Yukiko, what's wrong with you?"

Koji Shimizu rarely speaks stutteringly, but when he saw Yukiko's cold face, he subconsciously felt inexplicably nervous, as if the other party had some fatal handle or weakness in his hand.

"What's wrong with me?"

Yukiko blinked, not at all surprised by Shimizu Koji's reaction. Her eyes changed rapidly, but soon, she smiled slightly, as if the ice and snow had melted away, making people feel like spring breeze. The inexplicable coldness just now seemed to have never been there.

"Um, I mean, why did you arrive so early? I was planning to pick you up at the airport."

When Koji Shimizu saw Yukiko smile, he immediately relaxed a little, but Yukiko's smile seemed okay at first glance, but it was always just an arc and a look. If you looked at her a few more times, it felt like a formulaic smile.

"Really? Koji, you are thoughtful, but as you can see, I have already returned, just ten minutes before you went home. I am packing my luggage now, and in twenty minutes, I will go to the hospital to visit Xiaoxin."

"Packing?" Shimizu Koji was a little confused.

Yukiko's smile finally changed. The corners of her mouth rose a little more. Her big eyes were bright and charming, without a trace of impurities or bad intentions.

"Yeah, pack your luggage. I plan to come back and stay for a while, so I helped you pack your luggage, Koji-kun."

"what?"

Shimizu Koji's confusion didn't affect Yukiko at all. She casually lifted her hair and continued to smile, "I have already discussed this matter with Miss Mingmei and Miss Huihara at home. From today on, please ask Koji to stay at the doctor's house next door for a while."
