This thing about me becoming a girl

Hearing this, Mariko Sawamura had neither joy nor sorrow, but just skillfully brushed aside Homi Sawamura's ferocious attack, and then jumped a few steps back.

She assumed an Iai posture.

Seeing this, Sawamura Homi hit and said.

"Do you think that this is still the age of samurai? In actual combat, no one will let you use Juhe for deliberate purposes. You will only show your ultimate moves, and every second can affect the situation of the battle!"

While saying this, Sawamura Homi also charged forward with a sword.

And at this moment, he also met Sawamura Mari Aoi's extremely pure eyes, as if they could reflect any thoughts in your heart.

Then, Sawamura Mari Aoi drew his sword.

At that moment, Sawamura Homi seemed to see the fish and wild goose going against the current.

And when he recovered from the shock, the Mari Aoi Sawamura in front of him still disappeared, leaving only a bamboo sword lying on the wooden board.

Sawamura Mari Aoi was already walking towards the outside of the dojo.

Looking at her back, Sawamura Homi still hasn't recovered.

If he loses, it is a backhand sword that makes him unable to react at all.

Moreover, from that sword, Sawamura Homi also saw the great master, the great master of kendo.

After settling in Ishioka for two months, Sawamura Mari Aoi, who never held a sword during the process, came back as a master of kendo.

Since the Edo period, the second kendo master.

Looking at the back of Sawamura Mari Aoi, looking at the back that seemed to be exactly the same as Uyuki at this time, Sawamura Homi didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

It wasn't until Sawamura Mari Aoi completely left the dojo that Sawamura Homi lowered her head.

After she sighed, she walked towards the side room.

After opening the sliding door and entering the Japanese-style room, Homi Sawamura looked at the samurai sword with a hidden sheath placed on the knife holder like an ornament.

Why is it called an ornamental, because just by looking at the appearance, you can know that few people can use it flexibly.

After all, the classification of samurai swords is fighting swords, and the design of fighting swords was originally made for actual combat, that is, for faster swords and more effective harvesting of human lives. In the era of ground stations, it really bloomed The only brilliance.

It is more suitable for actual combat, and it still means that the sword is shorter than the Taidao, but the sword in front of you is 130 cm above, which means that you have a taller body and a longer wingspan, which also means The heavier the weight, the more strength is needed to control the knife flexibly.

That's why it is said that this samurai sword with a hidden sheath is more inclined to be an ornamental, or in other words, a sword specially made for someone.

The name of this knife is Yi? Qie, and it was also the knife that Sawamura Mari Aoi used to cut open the chest of Daguo Killing Stone two months ago.

The only difference from before is that its scabbard is no longer a simple pure black wood color, but as if it has been coated with a layer of light, it is extremely dark, and the handle is also wrapped with a handle and a wooden handle. handguard.

Unlike the semi-finished product that once seemed to be rushed to the battlefield, now it is more like a finished product.

Sawamura Homi looked at the long sword with a hidden sheath.

He had cast this knife five or six years ago, but only recently did the last process, the scabbard be processed.

When I was young, I aspired to be a great knife maker, but I never thought that I would only make this knife in my whole life.

Homi Sawamura picked up the knife, then opened the secret door and entered the space behind the bookshelf.

There is a passage behind the bookshelf, and Homi Sawamura walked into it, and after a few minutes, he suddenly realized that he came to a place full of flowers.

In the center of the flower field is the tombstone of Sawamura Uyuki.

She should be very happy, after all, she also liked flowers the most during her lifetime.

This tomb was secretly moved after Homi Sawamura became the imperial palace.

Sawamura Homi walked to the grave of Sawamura Uyuki and sat down.

Sawamura Uyuki was actually quite miserable during his lifetime. He always carried the expectations of everyone and did things he didn't like to do. He thought that his brother would understand her, so he confided his heart, but unexpectedly, the result was a breakup .

Perhaps, Sawamura Homi is the only one who knows that she has never liked kendo.

She just, has been pushed forward, had to move forward.

Since she held the sword, her life is no longer free. Perhaps, she also wants to do what she wants to do, instead of having to focus on the sword.

Thinking about this, looking at the photo on the tombstone, Sawamura Homi couldn't help but said.

"Uyuki, that girl who has the same talent as you... is going to do what she wants to do now.

Well, that's not right, maybe her talent is even stronger than yours, and it's very possible, after all, I don't know what a clear heart is like, and I'm just looking at a leopard, seeing a field that I have never touched before. "

Homi Sawamura spoke like this, slowly, with a lot of gossip, which was completely different from the taciturnity in the outside world.

While talking, he took out from the arms of the kimono the Iron Horse Lingdo that he had been carrying with him since Sawamura Uyuki died.

He looked at the iron horse that looked like a small Buddhist clock in his hand, and couldn't help but think of what Sawamura Uyuki said to himself that afternoon after driving away the wild dogs.

"From now on, whenever my brother encounters danger, he will ring this wind chime. No matter where Maoxue is, he will come to protect his brother."

Thinking of this, Sawamura Homi couldn't help shaking the iron horse, and with the sound of the harmony rhyme, Sawamura Uyuki's voice, appearance, and appearance all came to his mind.

For a moment, sitting in front of the tomb, his back, for some reason, seemed to have suddenly aged several years, and he was extremely lonely.

----

After leaving the dojo, Sawamura Mari Aoi returned to her residence in the residential area.

She changed her tracksuit and put on a traditional kendo uniform and zori sandals.

Looking at the wooden knife in the room, it was the birthday gift Shang Shanmu gave her when she was a child.

That's right, for a child, Shang Shanmu's birthday gift was a wooden knife that didn't match her height and shape.

At that time, Mari Aoi Sawamura found it extremely difficult to even pick up this wooden sword.

From that time on, it can be seen that Uesugi has never paid serious attention to Sawamura Mari Aoi.

It's just that Mari Aoi Sawamura has always pretended not to know.

Looking at the wooden knife, after a while, Mari Aoi Sawamura picked it up and put it on her waist.

Immediately, she turned and left.

But just as he walked out of the door, a servant of the main house of Sawamura hurried over, and then knelt down in front of Mariko Sawamura, palming his hands and raising them up.

In the palm of this servant was a samurai sword with a hidden sheath.

On the handle of the samurai sword, there is a simple iron horse hanging.

"Master Yusuo said, the name of the sword is Yi? Qie, if Miss Makoto doesn't want it, then throw it away."

The servant held the sheathed samurai sword with the iron horse hanging in the palms of his hands, lowered his head, and said respectfully.

Hearing this, Mariko Sawamura looked at the samurai sword, and took it after a while.

Immediately, she left.

The snow was getting heavier, and the light snow like reed flowers and catkins was getting bigger and bigger, until the whole world turned into a vast expanse of whiteness, as if the world had become quiet and lonely at this moment.

Sawamura Mari Aoi was walking on the road, and there was a person behind her who was watching her go.

Sawamura Isuzu held an umbrella, stood in the snow, and looked at the back not far ahead.

If this is your decision, then I wish you the best of luck, Truth Aoi.

Mariko Sawamura walked in the snow like this. Her thin kendo clothes, whether it was black skirt pants or white slub clothes, were blown and rattled in the wind and snow, as if they were wings spread in the sky. The eagle's feathers are generally full of undulating folds as the wind blows.

Except for the kendo uniform issued by the gymnasium, she took nothing away from Sawamura, and left alone, cutting off all the shackles on her body with her own hands.

And there are two knives on her waist, the wooden knife represents regret and sin, while the black knife is redemption and compensation.

Although there may not be any real feelings between her and Uesugi, Sawamura Mari Aoi is also very aware of this. She and Uesugi were actually false from the beginning, but while she understood these, she was immersed in this fantasy That's all.

But the one who is alive should always be the one who bears the burden, and she has indeed done a lot of mistakes, and she is willing to make up for it.

From today onwards, her name will be Marika Uesugi, and while bearing this surname, she will also bear all the sins of this surname.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, as if they wanted to bury her figure directly.

But her steps are firm and her soul is clear.

On this day, countless people in the residential area of ​​Sawamura saw such a figure swaying in the snow.

It was also on this day that Sawamura released the news that Sawamura Mari Aoi, the third-generation granddaughter of Sawamura, was deprived of her "real surname" status and expelled from Sawamura. Since then, she has nothing to do with Sawamura's life or death.

ps: The 4000-word chapter, plus the last chapter, is 9500-word update today. I originally planned to publish a combined chapter, but because you said that posting a combined chapter looked tiring, so I developed it separately. In short, today is 520 chapters And the explosion of Chapter 521!A total of 9500 words.

522. Aoi Truth Stopped Outside the Door

Time advances, three days have passed again, and there are only the last three days before the end of the year.

Up to now, major shopping malls have put up banners about the upcoming sale of lucky bags, which has once again ignited the enthusiasm of the public.

At this time of year, lucky bags are perhaps one of the things that people look forward to the most. When you spend tens of thousands of yen to buy a bag of lucky bags, you open the lucky bag with excitement when you go home, and see that the price of the goods inside exceeds the price of the lucky bag. Words cannot express that joy.

In short, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, every family is making intense preparations.

After all, the New Year is one of the most important festivals in Japan, and its status is equivalent to that of the Chinese New Year.

The New Year in Japan, also called the first month, is different from the Lunar New Year in China. In fact, Japan also celebrated the Lunar New Year in the past. It is similar to the situation in China. It is only in modern times that it should be the New Year. But now, in Yokohama and Kobe Streets, as well as the Ryukyu Islands, in the old calendar year, there are still lion dance performances to celebrate, and restaurants will also specially prepare special meals based on dumplings and fish.

It's just that so far, in Japan, the status of the old calendar year is no longer as important as the new calendar year.

And now the New Year in Japan is on January 1, which is New Year's Day, and it can be called New Year until the 1th.

However, even though the date of the new calendar year has changed, many customs of the old calendar year have been preserved, such as eating soba noodles or receiving lucky money, but they are called differently.

In short, the New Year is a very important festival for Japan, and it is worth celebrating with the whole name.

It can be seen from the fact that Japanese students have spring vacations in addition to winter and summer vacations. After all, spring vacations were born to celebrate the holidays of the New Year.

As for the Beidao apartment, they were naturally making preparations for the new year.

In the past two days, Bei Daojiu has been busy up and down, almost without stopping for a moment, such as making rice cakes, herring roe, soba noodles, black beans and so on.

Although in this day and age, these things can be easily bought, Bei Dao Jiu also chose to make them by himself, maybe because he feels that doing it himself has that kind of festive feeling.

Oh, by the way, there is also Tusu Wine. Although Bei Dao Crow is not yet old enough to drink and Bei Dao Jiu doesn’t drink, she still makes it. In short, Bei Dao Jiu has nothing about the customs of Chinese New Year. fall.

As for the kimono worn when worshiping the shrine, Kitajima Jiu had already taken it out a long time ago and fiddled with it countless times.

The kimono is exactly the same as the two sets they used when they participated in the firework festival in summer, but the light cherry color kimono is different in size.

Almost as soon as she was free, Bei Daojiu hugged her kimono and looked forward to it. It seemed that she was really looking forward to going to the shrine with Bei Daoya for New Year's visits.
