Can't you just leave me alone?

She bent down gently to show her sincerity.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but the direction where she crouched down was pointing straight at Yuanjing.

No.17 Chapter This

"Secret sword?" After hearing this word, Yukinoshita Yukino asked a little strangely, "Why did Minister Lu Ye come to Lambhui? If you want to crack the secret sword, isn't the Kendo Department a better choice?"

"Generally speaking, that's right." The senior sister Lu Ye from the Drama Department was very frank, "But the head of the Kendo Department is not interested in the position of student council president. It may take a while to seek help there. With a big budget, it’s not worth it.”

"Renting the stage, preparing costumes and props, and asking famous artists to write scripts... There are so many places that need money. For the drama department, no matter how much the budget is, it is not enough."

Senior Sister Lu Ye's tone revealed a bit of sadness, "The drama department doesn't have any special support, he must be the candidate for the student council president. If that's the case, why not take out these votes and exchange them for something more valuable."

"For example, the help of the 'Lamb Society', right?" Shinomiya Kaguya said.

"That's right," senior sister Lu Ye nodded, "but, besides that, there is another small reason..."

The head of the drama department looked at the only male in the Lamb Club, "That's because Yuan is here, I think he might know a little about the truth about this [Secret Sword]."

The gazes of the other three members of the Lamb Society turned to Yuanjing again.

'What did you get involved with this kind of beautiful girl? ' Their eyes are silently expressing the master's meaning.

To be the head of the drama department, senior sister Lu Ye would certainly not be an ugly girl.

In fact, in St. Eden Academy, the proportion of beautiful girls is actually quite high.Given its original nature, this phenomenon is not surprising.

And as the center of attention, even Yuanjing himself feels a little baffled.

Before that, he had never seen this senior from the drama department.

The intersection with the drama department was only when Ningguang released the news, and he had a little contact with the members of the drama department.How could you get involved with yourself again?

Sister Luye immediately revealed the answer.

"In order to welcome the arrival of the cultural festival, the activity prepared by our drama department is a period drama." Senior Sister Lu Ye said.

In Sakurajima, period drama is the name of its nationals for historical dramas in costumes.

"The background of this period drama is at the end of the Heian period. The protagonist is a well-known character in Sakurajima, and his name is [Genyoshitsune]."

"The main story is the story of Minamoto Yoshitsune who was blocked by an evil swordsman named [Hunting Sayoko] when he fled to Oshu to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan."

"Hunting Sayoko?" Yukinoshita Yukino gently repeated the name, and began to look through his own memory, "Have you never heard of this name?"

One of Yukinoshita Yukino's hobbies is reading.She did not know how many works describing the Heian era, but she had never heard of this strange title.

"No impression is inevitable," senior sister Lu Ye explained, "This story has not been recorded in the official history. The relevant script is actually when I was sorting out the reference room of the drama department, I found it in a certain corner. of."

"According to the handwriting on it and the initial description of the script, it should be adapted by a senior from the drama club based on some uncommon unofficial history."

"But because of improper preservation, the most critical part of the back section has disappeared. This is why I came to ask for help."

Senior Sister Lu Ye looked at Yuanjing again, "There was a rumor that a high school freshman named 'Yuanjing' was going to be the next president of the student union, although the rumors were refuted immediately afterwards. .But it also let me know the name 'Yuanjing'."

"And the protagonist of this stage play is [Gen Yoshitsune]. So I think, Yuan Jing may know some related unofficial history, which is one of the reasons why I came here."

After telling the reason, she found that the three girls in the room were all looking at her with strange expressions, and she couldn't help feeling a little shaken, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"...May I take the liberty to ask," Fujiwara Chika looked at Senior Sister Luye, and said cautiously, "Sister, the history of Sakurajima should be, uh, not very good?"

"Hey, how do you know?" Lu Ye-senpai was a little surprised, "I dozed off when I saw the history of Sakurajima. It's no problem to read the scripts of period dramas, but when it comes to boring textbook knowledge, I can't read a single word." ..."

She seemed to have realized something, "Did I make some joke?"

"Almost," it was Shinomiya Kaguya who explained, "Although the surnames of [Source Yoshitsune] and [Source View] are both [Source], but this [Source] is not the other [Source], this does not mean They're a family."

This involves a little history of Sakurajima.

In fact, long before the Meiji era, the surname was still the patent of the aristocratic class, and the vast majority of civilians only had first names, not surnames.

For example, what Senior Sister Lu Ye just said about [Sayoko the Headhunter], this [Sayoko] is obviously a commoner with only a first name but no surname.

This is obviously not conducive to the needs of conscription, taxation, and household registration. Therefore, Emperor Meiji promulgated the "Common Miao Character Permission Order" in 1870, allowing all Sakurajima people, including civilians who were not allowed to have surnames before, to have surnames.

Because the implementation of this decree was not strong enough, he also promulgated the "Common Miao Characters Must Be Called Order" five years later, stipulating that all Sakurajima people must use their surnames.

This allowed the number of Sakurajima's surnames to increase rapidly.

At the same time, these emerging surnames, because most of them come from the hands of uneducated civilians, are mostly quite simple and straightforward, such as [Panasonic], [Tanaka], [Watanabe], [Nakamura]...

It is almost obvious at a glance where these surnames come from.

Because of this, there are two types of Sakurajima's surnames: the [ancient surname] that existed in 1875, that is, the "Common Miao Characters Must Call Order", and the one that came into being after 1874, generally called [Miao characters] .

"[Original] of [Original Yoshitsune] is [ancient surname], and although the Gen family was the samurai family who established the rule of the shogunate and once controlled the entire Sakurajima, after the third-generation shogun Minamoto was killed by the Hojo family , [source] this ancient surname became extinct.”

"The [Yuan] surname of [Yuanjing] should be the [Miao character] created by commoners after 1875. In fact, it has nothing to do with the [Yuan] of [Yuanyi Jing]. It does not mean that Yuanjing is Minamoto Yoshitsune has been passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, why would he have to work so hard to pass the exam and enter the school?" Shinomiya Kaguya said.

"Well," noticing the embarrassment of senior sister Luye, Chika Fujiwara quickly smoothed things over, "Although Yuan Jing and Yuan Yoshitsune are not of the same family, it doesn't mean that we can't reveal the secret of [Secret Sword]?"

"What kind of character [Hunting Sayoko] is, and what is the so-called [Secret Sword], we are actually very interested." Fujiwara Chika showed a sweet smile full of anticipation to Lu Ye-senpai.

"Sister Luye, can you please explain in detail?"

Chapter 18 Yuanjing, you are still a foot control

"Okay." As expected of being an actor, Senior Lu Ye's psychological quality is excellent.

After being a little embarrassed for a while, she coughed lightly, and the expression on her face returned to normal.

"The context of the story is actually quite clear. It is a very traditional story of a duel between swordsmen. Because the duel is Minamoto Yoshitsune, although the latter part has been lost, it must end with his victory."

"That is to say, he cracked the almost unsolvable [Secret Sword] of [Sayoko the Headhunter]. This is what I hope everyone in the Lamb Society will decipher."

The four members of the Lamb Society all showed concern and looked at this petite senior.

Senior sister Lu Ye took a deep breath, and quickly entered the state, and began to tell the life of [Sayoko] with a beautiful voice that was both mellow and deep.

"Sayoko was born in a poor farming family. Although he has a big skeleton, but because of poverty and hunger, the whole person looks very thin. He was nicknamed [Skeleton] when he was a child."

"His family was not happy. His mother died early. His father was not only an alcoholic, but also violent. He often beat and kicked Sayoko. Once, when he was drunk, he even picked up stones on the ground and beat him in the face. ..."

In order to enhance the effect of the demonstration, senior sister Lu Ye made an appearance of grabbing a heavy object and hitting it hard.This action was so vivid that the other four people present frowned.

"As Sayoko grew older, his father's abusive behavior not only did not restrain, but increased day by day. Finally, one day, Sayoko, who couldn't stand it anymore, raised the sickle for cutting wheat, cut off his father's head, and put it Hanging in front of your own gate."

"The scythe swung in a fit of rage sank deep into my father's skull, and none of the villagers could pull it out."

"This tragedy of patricide is his first [headhunting]."

Speaking of this, senior sister Luye paused for a while, letting everyone digest what she said before, and at the same time letting herself take a breath.

"And this scene happened to be seen by a passing ronin, but not only did he not do justice for the heavens, but he was quite optimistic about his nature, adopted him as a foster son, and taught him sword skills."

"Ten years later, Ronin died, and Sayoko became a majestic swordsman with bulging muscles. His eyes, which were always squinted, shone with a chilling fierce light."

"Generally speaking, if you want to become a top swordsman, you must have a healthy body, but Sayoko just does the opposite." Standing up from her seat, Senior Sister Luye made a rather strange gesture. She walked in the same posture as if she couldn't use her left foot.

"According to what he said, his left leg was cut by others during the sword competition, and he can no longer use his strength."

"He is obviously a cripple, but he claims to be a swordsman. This naturally aroused some people's dissatisfaction. Instigated by these people, a well-known swordsman in the local area blocked Sao Heng on the grassland where the grass grew over his waist. Let him take his words back."

"The next day, a box was placed at the door of the samurai's house. In addition to the samurai's head, there was a note on it, which read [This is a so-and-so died from the Wuzhi sword. Headhunter Sayoko]."

"This so-called [Mu no Tachi]?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked tentatively.

"That's right, this is the name of the [Secret Sword] that I hope everyone can unravel." Senior Lu Ye nodded.

"Although he killed someone, under the social background at that time, human life was naturally worthless. Sayoko was recruited by the local wealthy family, so he was exonerated." Senior Sister Lu Ye continued.

"He even built a hut next to the grassland in the outskirts and lived in it leisurely. After that, out of righteous indignation for insulting the body of the deceased, some people went to that hut one after another to gain fame and money. Sayoko duels and dies."

"All the people who were beheaded by Sayoko had their eyebrows and foreheads split open with one blow, and only the heads of the remains will be sent back to their relatives or friends, and then a rather boastful note will be sent ——【This is Sayoko who fulfilled his wish and died in Wuzhidao Hunting Head】"

"The cruel and inhuman murderous swordsman [Sayoko the Headhunter], and his [Mu no Tachi] became famous. Until one day, he received an order from the noble family to ambush Yuanyi who was leaving for Oshu through."

"It was a time when the setting sun was like blood, and in the waist-high grassland, Zuo Heng blocked Minamoto Yoshitsune who was disguised and running alone at that time."

"One is a fledgling genius swordsman who is only 16 years old; the other is a ruthless head hunter who has been famous for a long time. When we meet on this narrow road, a fierce battle is about to break out..."

When talking about the critical moment, senior sister Lu Ye's words suddenly stopped.

As expected of the head of the drama department, even without the support of complicated props, she was still able to tell the whole story vividly, so that when she stopped, Chika Fujiwara couldn't help but urgently urged——

"And then? What's the next plot?"

"Next..." Senior Luye dragged on a long tone, as if she wanted to whet everyone's appetites, but except for Chika Fujiwara, the other three seemed to have already reacted, and said regretfully , "Of course there will be no more."

She spread her hands to the four of them, "That's the end of the script, and the rest of it has been lost. Apart from knowing that Minamoto Yoshitsune is the final winner, I don't know anything about the rest."

"This is also the reason why I came here. I hope that with the help of everyone's wisdom, I can find out the true body of [Nuzhidao], so that this story can have an ending."

Silence fell on the Lamb Club's room so quietly, and the four of them fell into deep thought at this moment.

After a while, Chika Fujiwara couldn't hold back anymore, she rubbed her long pink hair a little irritably, and said with a little gloom——

"How do I find out this? In the previous article, this name was only mentioned in Sayoko's note. Just by knowing one name, it can be seen that this so-called [Mu no Tai Dao] What is it? It's so possible!"

Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya also nodded, showing expressions of approval.

From the current point of view, the information given by Lu Ye-senpai is indeed too scarce, and it is basically Sayoko's information. Regarding the [Mu no Tachi], basically only one name is known.

How to solve this?This can't be solved!

At this time, Yuan Jing has also left the state of contemplation.However, what he was thinking just now was not actually the so-called [Muzhi Taidao], but another matter.

"Well, I really want to know the follow-up, I always feel that it will be a very exciting matchup." Fujiwara Chika sighed with some disappointment.

"If you really want to know what the so-called [Mu no Tachi] is, I have an immature idea." The crisp young voice took over Chika Fujiwara's words.

Chika Fujiwara looked in the direction of Yuanjing with some surprise, but he heard him continue to say, "Before that, can you ask Fujiwara-san to take off your shoes?"

Hearing these words, Fujiwara Chika's two little feet seemed to be frightened, and she received it with a 'swish', and her fair face was also flushed——

"Why, why did you suddenly ask me to take off my shoes?"

Do you want to see my feet?Just in front of the public and in full view?

Yuanjing, are you a foot control?

Chapter 19 was

"Why do you have to take off your shoes when you know [Mu no Tachi], Yuan-san, do you have any special hobbies?" Hiding her feet quietly, Chika Fujiwara stubbornly resisted.

'At least, at least let me prepare. ' the girl added quietly in her heart.

The reason why Chika Fujiwara showed such reluctance was not because she was shocked or disgusted by Yuan Jing's "hobby".Just for one reason——

She is afraid of the smell.

Now that winter is approaching, Chika Fujiwara came in and was busy running around because of the work of the executive committee of the cultural festival.While St. Eden's indoor shoes are fairly breathable, you can't rule out the possibility that your feet will smell.

The girl was pretty sure that Yuan Jing was someone who wouldn't care about such things.Even if you smell some strange smell, you will probably know it in your heart, and it will not reveal the slightest strangeness on the surface.

But Chika Fujiwara really cared about it.

Always wanting to show your best side in front of your sweetheart, this kind of mood is actually quite easy to understand.

'To, at least let me go to the bathroom now, let me check myself. ' The girl thought a little reproachfully.

"Is this all right?" Just when Fujiwara Chika was a little shy, a cold voice came from behind him.

That was Shinomiya Kaguya's voice.

As the person in the Lamb Club who has the least feelings for Yuanjing, she has the least scruples and the clearest thinking.

This person, Yuanjing, has not been mad enough to be in a tantrum in front of so many people. The reason why he made this request must have something to do with this so-called [Muzhidao].In fact, she was quite curious about the true body of [Mu no Tachi], so after seeing Chika Fujiwara's awkward performance, she simply took off her indoor shoes by herself.

Gently picking up the pair of shoes with one hand, Shinomiya Kaguya put her little feet wrapped in white socks on the beam of the chair, and then looked at Yuan Jing, "What's next?" She continued .

Looking at Shinomiya Kaguya's actions in a daze, Fujiwara Chika suddenly felt a little regretful.

Although Yuan Jing was a little surprised by Shinomiya Kaguya's behavior, he immediately reacted, waved his hand towards her, and said, "You don't need to take them all off, just wear them. Don't wear them as shoes, Instead, try to use them as clogs."

The background of the story takes place at the end of the Heian period, around 1100 AD.At that time, shoes were far less popular than clogs because they would be caught by thorny plants on the roadside.

Because of this, Yuanjing asked people to take off their shoes and wear them like clogs.

"What's the point of this..." Shinomiya Kaguya Liu frowned slightly, according to the method Yuan Jing said, he crushed the heel of the shoe, and then stretched his feet in again.

Not so much clogs, this way of wearing is actually more like using indoor shoes as slippers...
