This thing about me becoming a girl

"Master Zhenkui, since we met when we were young, we have been away for a long time. Maybe you have forgotten me, but even when I was a child, Master Zhenkui's beautiful sword-holding demeanor has always been engraved in my mind, and I can't forget it for a long time. Today I come Sawamura is not only an important matter, but also to satisfy the childhood longing for seeing each other again.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am your childhood underdog, Dagu Shashengshi. "

226. The Same Gao Jie

"I don't know the truth, does Aoi-sama still have an impression?"

Sawamura Mariko didn't recall the slightest impression of the boy's question in front of her, and she didn't have any extra energy to think about it carefully. At this moment, her mind was full of miscellaneous and exhausting things.

Seeing this, Dagu Shashengshi also realized that the girl who had defeated him had already forgotten him.

But he didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction about this, and his smile was still as peaceful as a breeze.

"After all, it happened so long ago, it's only natural that Master Shinko couldn't remember it, but today we have met again, so I hope you can give me some advice."

Sawamura Mariko is not in the mood to make new friends, or to meet old friends again. She just wants to go home early and stay in the quiet "home" where no one seems to be watching her. Even if you can only be in a daze, that's fine.

But even though she didn't want to talk too much, out of everyone's etiquette that has been soaked in her bones, she still listened quietly to the words of Dagu Killing Stone, nodded, without interrupting, even if she didn't respond with words, she just kept silent. Listen in silence.

And after Daguu Shashengishi finished speaking, he looked at Mari Aoi Sawamura who lowered his eyes and did not respond, and realized that the girl in front of him was not very interested in talking to him, so he didn't speak again.

It also seems that this conversation with only one party speaking is over.

Sawamura Mari Aoi also thought so, so after she stopped hearing the voice of inquiry, she bowed slightly, and then stepped forward, walking from the side of Dagu Shoushengshi.

But at this moment, Dagu Killing Stone suddenly spoke.

"Master Mari Aoi, I am very happy that you also participated in the National Convention. I am already excited. I am happy because Master Mari Aoi is still going forward as usual, and I am excited because I can finally meet you who have been waiting for a long time. Fighting and excited.

Once upon a time, you were my nightmare. My talent, my skills, and even my aura when holding a sword were all fragile like a baby's finger in front of you. I feel hopeless.

But fortunately, I came out. The nightmare that I once thought was bound to disappear after defeating you, has long since passed by and has become a picture that can only appear in my childhood memory.

But what remains unchanged is the expectation of fighting with you again. "

After finishing speaking, he bowed: "After the national conference is over, I will challenge you by name, please accept it."

Sawamura Mariko turned around and looked at him, the young man also straightened up at this moment, with a gentle smile, and with the afterglow of dusk, the gentle wind blowing from afar blew on him.

Mariko Sawamura wanted to write on a note that I had given up on kendo, but at this moment, the loudspeaker on the telephone pole by the roadside started playing Dvořák's Symphony No. [-] in E minor.

On the streets of the residential area at dusk, except for the two people who were looking at each other, there were no other pedestrians passing by, and strange music was played from the loudspeaker in the distance and seemed to be silent.

The ear-piercing crows from the crows standing on the eaves seem to be responding, which is especially suitable for the scene.

This is a custom in Japan. At dusk, loudspeakers placed on various heights will play this music at the same time. It is probably used to remind children that it is time to go home.

However, as the times changed and changed with each passing day, the objects of this old era disappeared under the background of which wave of washing.

So naturally this custom was abolished, but in the residential area of ​​Sawamura, perhaps for the sake of tradition, it was still preserved.

Up to now, except for some rural places that are still used, at dusk, the music played by the loudspeaker on the roadside will only appear in ACG works, or it is used to set off the atmosphere in some horror movies. After all, some of the meanings represented by the sound of this music make people unable to help but imagine.

Because the music sounds, it means the arrival of the sunset, and it is the communication between day and night. In Japanese mythology, this time is the time of encountering demons.

At the end of the sky, the last ray of afterglow gradually disappeared from Dagu Shashengshi's face at a rate visible to the naked eye, which made his originally peaceful face seem a little gloomy and weird.

"I'm looking forward to that day."

--------

Sawamura Homi in the dojo is still doing the necessary daily meditation. Dagu Shoushishi wanted to challenge Sawamura Mari Aoi. He had already asked for instructions before, so he naturally knew that he would lose to Sawamura Mari Aoi I also know about this matter.

This has nothing to do with status, even Mari Aoi Sawamura three months ago was no match.

It has nothing to do with sword skills, nothing to do with determination, but the hesitation on the tip of Zhen Aoi's sword, which is just an unsharp stick.

Everyone in the clan thinks that even if he is not training Mari Aoi Sawamura as the heir, he values ​​her very much, but he is not.

Mari Aoi is not suitable for power, and even though she passed on the sword skills that meant the successor to her, Homi Sawamura never thought of handing over her position.

Although the heir can be cultivated, he is the imperial court anyway, and he chooses the heir only based on his love, but he still hasn't taught Sawamura Mari Aoi any knowledge about management and imperial affairs.

If he said it was not suitable, no one in the entire Sawamura would dare to say it was suitable.

He wouldn't give Sawamura Mariko any power, and he didn't value her as much as his clan thought.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he first saw Mari Aoi Sawamura. At that time, she was truly pure and flawless.

It was as if...it was the younger brother who he was extremely jealous of, but had never won once, and finally died halfway under the drag of his body full of diseases.

The moment when the young Mari Aoi held the samurai sword was noble, indifferent and pure, which seemed to be exactly the same as him.

-------

"noodle!!"

A child wearing a protective gear in the arena hit the opponent's mask with a bamboo sword that was about the same length as his body. His childish voice sounded like a tiger cub just out of a cave, and his murderous aura had already taken shape.

The other child who was hit by the mask fell to the ground, terrified and dazed, obviously frightened, this level of fighting was obviously too early for him who was still young, even though the opponent was also children of similar age.

The child who was the winner took off his mask, took two steps back and bowed.

Two old men with calm faces sitting outside the court were watching the game, and one of them smiled gratifiedly as he watched the winner.

Miyamoto Kishigui said to his long-time friend and rival.

"How about it, isn't it good? This is a seedling with excellent swordsmanship, and I have been doing my best to cultivate it."

And Homi Sawamura of course knows that he is showing off. It is true that Miyamoto Kishiki is his friend for many years, but the origin of this friend is because he has been fighting against each other when he was young. , the age is getting older, the bones of the body are not as good as before, and naturally the anger is not so heavy, and slowly, they became friends.

But even though there is no more competition, the fighting spirit is still going on. Today is a competition on the surface, but does Homi Sawamura know what he is thinking?

It's just that now I don't fight myself, so I let the younger generation I taught to fight.

However, this young man named Dagu Shashengshi is indeed an excellent seedling. In the sparring with his peers, he has already fought four times in a row.

But the successive defeats of the new generation of the clan did not make Sawamura Homi feel ashamed or anything like that, just inferior in skills.

But Kishi Katsura Miyamoto was also overjoyed. Although there were still a few Sawamura people of the same age who hadn't made it to the stage, they were a little discouraged by the fierceness of their opponents, and the Dagu Killing Stone had already become a trend.

It seems that today, he will return with a big victory.

This is something that Sawamura Homi also knows.

But at this moment, he saw a young girl staying outside the dojo.

Because it is an exchange and exchange, so I chose the dojo in the residential area, so naturally there will be no obstacles to watching.

The young girl's hand was being held by a maid, her expression was indifferent and dull, which was very different from her age, her skin was as white as if she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and her blue eyes were piercing.

She just looked at the two peers who were competing in the dojo. Although she had no expression, her eyes were attracted by the movements, as if she was very interested.

227. Sword Heart Bright

The pale skin seemed to be a young girl who hadn't seen the sun for a long time, so she stopped in front of the dojo, and her blue eyes looked at the two contestants in the dojo.

The gaze followed the movement of the bamboo swords colliding, but moved slightly, and there was no words, as if...she could understand.

The young girl who stayed outside the dojo and was held by the maid's hand naturally attracted the attention of Homi Sawamura and Katsura Miyamoto.

Outside the entrance of the empty dojo, the young girl stood still under the scorching sun, watching the battle scene where the bamboo swords were constantly probing back and forth in the dojo.

Although some people say that the kendo competition is very boring, it cannot be denied that it does have an addictive charm.

"It seems to be another soul prostrated by the grace of the sword." Katsura Miyamoto said with a smile.

But Sawamura Homi heard the words and turned towards the outside of the dojo. After a moment of stunned, he saw the maid next to the young girl, and then remembered who the young girl was.

It was her granddaughter, Mari Aoi Sawamura, who had been ignored since she was born.

He thought of this granddaughter whom he had forgotten for a long time, and naturally remembered everything about her.

Mari Aoi Sawamura is special. She was born as a small caged bird of Sawamura to resist herself, which is destined to lead to a tragedy since she was born.

The mother gave birth to her because of an impure purpose, and naturally there would be no emotional irrigation, and the father was just a person with a foreign surname that was not recognized, and he was not even qualified to meet her, so he couldn't protect himself , let alone parenting.

As for Sawamura Homi, to tell the truth, she was almost forgotten. Soon after Sawamura Xiaocengdiao gave birth to her, she went abroad because of conflicts with herself, leaving Xiaoma Aoi alone in the clan, and the only possibility Sawamura Isuzu, who will raise her, also followed in the footsteps of the little caged bird.

When Sawamura Homi learned the news, she just ordered the maid to take care of it.

Family affection can be said to be a bond for Homi Sawamura, and it can also be said to be a bond that can be given up. In fact, the family affection between big families has already begun to weaken under certain circumstances.

What's more, Sawamura Mariko is still a bargaining chip used by her own daughter to threaten her in order to fight, and her biological father is just an ordinary person who can't catch her eyes at all, so Sawamura Mariko is naturally irrelevant to Sawamura Homi.

However, it is not entirely because of her birth problem that Sawamura Hoomi pays little attention to her, but because there is no meaning of paying attention to her at this age. As for the kindness of the elders, it is naturally impossible for Sawamura Hoomi to happen.

So Sawamura Mariko was taken care of by the maid who changed every Monday. As for the frequent change of maid, it was just to prevent her from becoming dependent on outsiders. Sawamura Homi didn't even ask about it, it was all arranged by his subordinates .

Don't care, so forget it.

After all, to be honest, even her mother, Sawamura Xiaocengniao, just tried her out as a tool, and the blood relationship has reached this point, and there is only a superficial layer left.

It can be said that whether it is Sawamura Xiaocagebird or Sawamura Homi, they all know that Sawamura Mari Aoi is not a normal relative.

Once there is a certain purpose in mind, even the purest things will become messy.

What's more, even his biological daughter Isuzu and Sawamura Homi can do it regardless of life and death, let alone a granddaughter who was born with the intention of bargaining chips.

After all, with the position of Homi Sawamura, family affection is no longer the stepping stone that can knock on his heart.

It can be said that Mari Aoi Sawamura has been ignored since she was born, and what she loves is even more extravagant.

But in fact, Sawamura Homi didn't have any compassionate thoughts about what she encountered. Although her father was not recognized, it is an indisputable fact that she has Sawamura's blood in her body. What kind of.

Even Sawamura Homi herself had never experienced family affection before she became an adult.

Perhaps if it wasn't for the accidental sight today, Hoshi Sawamura would still not have remembered that he had such a granddaughter until he met her next time.

The battle in the dojo has reached a feverish stage. Aoi Aoi is paying attention. After a while, she slowly blinks her eyelids, and then looks away expressionlessly, as if she knew what was going to happen.

"noodle!!"

Dagu Shashengshi slammed the bamboo sword into the opponent's face, scoring effectively.

Kishiki Miyamoto clapped her hands, and the maid outside the dojo also noticed Homi Sawamura who was looking at her.

Thinking of the rumors in the clan that the imperial court dislikes Lord Aoi, the maid feels a little distressed about what happened to Aoi, and is also afraid of being punished.

So he hurriedly bowed and said humbly: "I'm very sorry, I'm very sorry, I'll take Mrs. Zhenzhen Kui and leave now."

The maid bowed her knees, and then pulled the little girl who didn't seem to understand what happened, and left.

The scorching sun outside the dojo is still scorching, but the figure has disappeared.
