I formed the strongest swordsman group

After Qing Deng opened the shop door, the old man and the thick-lipped old woman in the shop immediately turned their heads and looked at Qing Deng.

"Oh, it seems that a guest has come to the door. Mr. Kazuma Kiryu, I won't bother you anymore, so I will take my leave first."

"Mrs. Izumi, please go slowly." The old man with glasses smiled and bowed his upper body, and saluted the old lady with a very elegant gesture, "Next time if the clothes are broken again, please feel free to come to me again."

"Yeah! Mr. Kazuma Kiryu, if only my old man had half the talent and gentleness of yours." The thick-lipped old woman put her hands on her face like a young girl, twisted her body a few times, and hugged her. A large cloth bag containing a women's kimono walked quickly to the outside of the store.

When leaving the store, the old woman still did not forget to turn her head frequently and cast affectionate glances at the old man with glasses, while the old man with glasses kept watching her with a smile.

It wasn't until the old woman completely disappeared from the sight of the old man with glasses that the old man with glasses turned his attention to Qing Deng.

"Excuse me, what is your step?"

"Is your shop open now? I have something to consult." Qing Deng said.

"Of course it's open." The old man with eyes nodded, "Please sit down."

Kneeling behind the counter, he made a "please" gesture towards the counter.

"Please let me introduce myself. My surname is Kiryu, my name is Kazuma, and I am the owner of this Senshiya. What do you want to ask?"

When the old man who called himself "Kazuma Kiryu" was introducing himself there, Qingdeng had walked quickly to the counter and sat down in front of the counter.

After getting closer to the old man, Qing Deng subconsciously looked at the old man's face.

He is very old, at least 80 or 90 years old, but his eyes are still piercing, and his spirit looks quite good, so he must be in good health.

Although the face is covered with traces of time, it can still be vaguely seen that this old man must have looked good when he was young.

It has been 7 years since Japan was founded, and after dealing with foreign countries for so long, a person wearing a pair of glasses like Kiryu in front of me is no longer a "rare species" in Japan.

The old man introduced himself, and Qingdeng also introduced himself out of politeness.

"My surname is Ju, and my first name is Qingdeng."

After briefly introducing himself, Qingdeng went straight to the topic:

"I heard that your shop can help people introduce sword halls, is it true?"

Kiryu nodded with a smile: "Yes. This is one of the important signs of our store. Are you asking about the sword hall?"

"Yes!" Qing Deng nodded his head.

"So, what kind of sword gym do you want to go to?"

"I want to go to a sword gym that meets these three conditions."

Qingdeng raised three fingers.

"One: I can afford it with this little money."

"Two: The swordsmanship taught is the kind of swordsmanship that is practical, not ostentatious."

"Three: It is best to have enough apprentices in the hall, the more the better."

"As long as these three conditions are met, any kind of sword gym will do."

After all, Qingdeng took out his money bag from his pocket, which contained the only remaining money of their Ju family.

After taking out the money bag, Qingdeng placed it on the counter and opened it, so that Kiryu could clearly see the amount stored in the bag.

Kiryu lowered his head to look at the money in his eye pocket, and then asked Qingdeng with his usual expression:

"Guest officer, in order to help you find the most suitable sword gym for you, please allow me to ask you a question."

"I can understand the first two conditions you mentioned just now. But I don't quite understand the third condition."

"Why do you have to find a sword gym with a lot of people?"

"I like sparring with other people the most, so I thought of a sword gym with a lot of people, and I can spar enough." Qingdeng made up a nonsense casually.

"Oh, that's it." Kiryu nodded slightly.

"please wait."

While talking, Kiryu pulled out a large book from under the counter, and then spread it on the counter.

"This is?" Qingdeng asked suspiciously.

"This is the most valuable thing in my employment agency." Kiryu smiled. "It contains detailed information on all the sword halls in Edo. The content of the information includes everything from tuition fees to the number of apprentices in the hall. .”

"Oh! Then this thing is indeed very valuable."

"In order to make this book, I also spent a lot of effort." Kiryu, with a look of reminiscence, began to flip through this "Edo Sword Museum Collection" after sighing.

"The swordsmanship taught is extremely practical swordsmanship... At the same time, there must be enough people to learn from... Then this swordsmanship is very suitable for you."

Kiryu's voice fell, and his fingers flipping the notebook just stopped.

"The test hall of natural mental flow."

"Natural mind flow?" Qing Deng raised his eyebrows.

He skillfully searched for the memory of "Yuan Juqingdeng" in his mind.

It was found that: "Original Juqingdeng" does not have any memory fragments about the natural flow of mind.

Kiryu smiled at Qingdeng as if he had seen through Qingdeng's thoughts.

"It's a relatively obscure genre. So you probably haven't heard the name."

"But I can assure you that this school is not inferior to famous schools such as Beichen Yidao Style and Shinto Wunian Style in terms of practicality."

Kiryu opened his mouth and was about to say something more——

"Mr. Kiryu, I'm so hungry, do you have breakfast?"

Suddenly, a crisp young female voice, as pleasant as a silver bell, came from inside the shop.

Qingdeng subconsciously followed the sound - a small figure slowly walked out from behind a corner deep in the shop.

It was a girl with an extremely cute appearance who was holding a small orange cat in her arms.

Its age is about 15 or 6 years old.

The cat she held in her arms was an orange cat that was probably under 1 year old.

In Qingdeng's eyes, the girl's height is on the short side. She is only about 1.5 meters tall.

The facial features are exquisite, especially her eyes, the dark eyes are bright and energetic, and there is a bookish look between her brows.

Judging by his appearance, he seemed to have just woken up.

A head of long black hair was loosely scattered behind him, the clothes on his body were a little messy, and a pair of lovely white feet were bare.

Mingming looks like he is only 15 or 6 years old at most, but his development is surprisingly good-he is obviously wearing thick winter clothes, but he can still clearly see that the fabric on his chest is bulging.

The girl who came out from the corner of the back room of the shop, saw Qingdeng, and immediately froze in place as if under a petrification spell.

After meeting Qingdeng's eyes for a moment, he immediately hugged the cat in his arms and hid behind the corner of the corridor she just walked out at a speed as if teleporting.

"Sorry." Kiryu smiled apologetically at Qingdeng at this time, "This kid is a little shy, please forgive me."

As soon as Kiryu's words fell, Qingdeng caught a glimpse of the girl reappearing from behind the corner of the corridor—but only half of her face was exposed. The rest of the body remains tucked away behind the corner of the hallway.

The half of her face that she revealed was now glowing red with a hint of shyness.

Girl: "@#￥%\u0026*#..."

Qingdeng saw the girl's lips move.

He could vaguely sense that the girl seemed to be talking to him, but Qing Deng couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

Hearing the girl's mosquito-like humming voice, Qingdeng felt that she was not speaking Japanese, but more like reciting a spell.

While Qingto was staring at the girl who was talking to him out of politeness, Kiryu was also looking at the girl.

After the girl finally finished chanting her spell, Kiryu turned his head with a smile and said to Qingdeng:

"She said, 'Welcome to Senjiya, she is Tedai here: Mai Kinoshita'."

[Note · Hand generation: In the Edo period, the name of the shop assistant]

After translating what the girl just said with Qingdeng, Kiryu turned his attention to the girl again.

Girl: "￥%\u0026@#*#..."

Kiryu: "She said: 'This is her good friend: Dodo'."

As soon as Kiryu's voice fell, the girl held the orange cat she had been holding in her arms just now with both hands, and carried it to the corner of the corridor.

Meow~~

The orange cat who was carried out of the corridor meowed at Qingdeng very well.

After the orange cat said "hello" to Qingdeng, the girl carried the orange cat back to the back of the corner.

——Why did you introduce yourself to the cat...?

When Qingdeng complained about the girl's weird behavior just now, the girl's "spell" still didn't stop.

Girl: "#￥\u0026@#￥%*#\u0026@#￥%*#\u0026@..."

Kiryu: "She said: 'I was so rude just now. I didn't know that a guest came to the door and let you see my very undignified look just now. I am really sorry.'"

Girl: "\u0026@#￥%*#..."

Kiryu: "She said: 'Please wait a moment, I will make you tea.'"

"...How did you guys communicate?" Qing Deng's face was full of black lines.

"I have learned lip language in the Omi area before." Kiryu smiled at Qingdeng, then turned his head and shouted at the girl, "Young master, I haven't cooked breakfast yet, please bear with me for a while, and wait for this guest to be served." After the official, I will cook. Today's breakfast is your favorite boiled eggs."

Qingdeng saw the half of the girl's face exposed outside the corridor, and after Kiryu's words fell, there was a strong color of joy, and then the girl shrank her head back in the corridor, and the girl was no longer seen.

"Young master?" Qingdeng repeated what Kiryu called that cute girl just now with doubts on his face.

"That girl is not only my handmaiden who works for me in this shop, but also the adopted granddaughter of the person I serve." Kiryu explained to Qingdeng unhurriedly, "So I have an employment relationship with that child, but also It's a master-servant relationship."
