While Aoto was wandering around the fireworks display venue with Mai Kinoshita——
Edo, a certain place, an izakaya, a certain private room——
"So...brother Chong, you suddenly called me out, what do you want?"
Chiba Tamonshiro picked up the sake at hand and filled himself a glass.
"Brother Tamon!" Chiba Jutaro, who was sitting opposite Chiba Tamon Shiro, looked excited. "I have a new plan for tomorrow's fireworks display!"
Hearing what Chiba Jutaro said, Chiba Tamonshiro was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"Brother Chong, what new plan have you come up with?"
"Brother Domon, when the fireworks are released tomorrow night, we can find some excuse to leave and give Tachibana-kun a chance to be alone with Sanako."
"Huh? Isn't this... too difficult?"
"It's not big at all! I've thought up all the excuses for you! I said I wanted to relieve myself, and you just said you were hungry and wanted to buy something to eat. You see, in this way, the two of us can't have sex naturally
Have you left?"
Chiba Jutaro grabbed the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Let's wait for 1 or 2 sticks of incense before coming back, leaving plenty of time for Tachibana-kun and Sanako to be alone. Brother Domon, what do you think of my plan?"
"...It seems to be okay." Chiba Tamonshiro sighed softly, "It's much more reliable than the messy plans you came up with before."
Regarding the cousins Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Tamonshiro, why are they discussing some "plan" of Lao Shizi at this moment... This all stems from the fact that more than ten days ago, the two of them formed a "bringing together Ainoto and Sato"
Speaking of that day when the United Front was formed.
On the day the brothers formed a "united front", they found themselves in a predicament of not knowing what to do because they had almost no experience in matters involving men and women.
At this moment of being unable to do anything, Chiba Jutaro heard the sound of Kagiya trying to set off fireworks.
At that moment, thousands of inspirations emerged in Chiba Jutaro's mind!
Fireworks—Fireworks Display—A man and a girl watch a fireworks display together... Chiba Jutaro's imagination leaps forward like never before!
This leap of imagination turned into a bold idea: Why not try to get Qingto and Sanako to go to the fireworks display to watch the fireworks?
Fireworks displays have always been an event where sparks are most likely to spark between young men and women.
The reason is not complicated either——
In a grand ceremony that only happens once a year, colorful fireworks bloom repeatedly in the night sky, and the bright firelight illuminates the eyes and cheeks of oneself and those around him... Whether it is a boy or a girl, facing such a scene, such
It's hard not to be distracted by the atmosphere.
Although "parents' orders and matchmaker's words" are the absolute mainstream of marriage in this era, there are also many men and women who finally get together through "free love".
Especially among civilians, "free love" is a very common thing.
Civilians do not have as many red tapes as samurai, so compared to samurai, civilians are much freer and more open.
Every summer, you can see many young men and women entering the venue of the fireworks display and enjoying the joy of the celebration together.
There are countless examples of people who were influenced by the charming atmosphere of the fireworks display and became lovers, and even became husband and wife soon after.
Chiba Jutaro thought to himself: This year's fireworks display is coming...then this is a good opportunity!
If Aoto and Sanako can be allowed to attend the fireworks display together... then maybe Aingto and Sanako will become a couple this year!
Then in another year, Sanako will be able to change her surname to "Tachibana Sanako"!
Then in another year, I will have a nephew or niece!
The overly beautiful imagination made Chiba Jutaro curl up his lips uncontrollably.
However... although the idea is wonderful, the question is: how can we make it natural for these two people to participate in the fireworks display together?
Directly tell Sanako: "Hey, Sanako, the fireworks display is in a few days. Do you want to watch the fireworks with Tachibana-kun?"... This is definitely not possible!
Chiba Jutaro knows Sanako's temper best.
Although he is 22 years old, he still has a strong rebellious streak in his character.
The more you ask Sanako to do something, the more she wants to do the opposite to you.
She is like a cat that is both noble and grumpy.
If you touch her hair, she will be friendly to you.
If you touch her against her fur...serve her directly with "meow fist",
Chiba Jutaro could imagine what would happen if he said bluntly to Sanako, "You and Tachibana-kun go to watch the fireworks together" - Sanako would definitely roll his eyes at him and coldly say "Why should I?"
Going to watch the fireworks with Mr. Tachibana?" and then walked away without looking back.
Moreover, Chiba Jutaro was not sure what kind of feelings Sanako had for Aoto now.
Although Sanako's relationship with Aoto seems to be very good recently... Chiba Jutaro still vividly remembers the scene where Sanako bluntly said "I don't like Tachibana-kun".
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Chiba Jutaro decided to act cautiously.
He informed his only comrade of his idea of "trying to get Aoto and Sanako to participate in the fireworks display together"...that is, Chiba Tamonshiro. Working together with Chiba Tamonshiro, he thought about the idea.
How to turn this idea into reality.
Speaking of Chiba Tamon Shiro... After the red and white battle of "Genbukan vs. Shoeikan", he was obviously very enthusiastic about the cause of "bringing Aitobo and Sanako together".
Chiba Tamonshiro's temperament is like this: he respects the strong and despises the weak.
As long as your strength and talent are amazing enough, even if I have been unhappy with you before, I am still willing to see you again.
In the red and white battle a few days ago, Chiba Tamonshiro felt the power of Aoto firsthand... From the day he lost to Aoto, Chiba Tamonshiro was determined to "try to make Aoto become the son-in-law of their Chiba family."
"There is no objection to the matter of land.
In addition to Chiba Tamon Shiro, many disciples of Xuanbu Hall admired Aoden because of this match they lost to Shiwei Hall.
Defeated... This certainly made the disciples of the Xuanwu Hall feel unwilling to accept it, but apart from being unhappy, they also admired Qingdeng for single-handedly sending most of their players off the field.
This is also due to the custom of Xuanwu Hall.
Under the leadership of the quite aggressive Chiba Michizaburo, the entire Xuanbu Hall was filled with an atmosphere of belligerence and eagerness to fight against the strong.
Therefore, relatively strong people can receive special respect and courtesy in their Xuanwu Hall.
He beat up the disciples of the Xuanwu Hall, and as a result, his popularity in the Xuanwu Hall soared - such a result was beyond Qingdeng's expectation.
Obviously neither is good at dealing with matters between men and women, but this pair of brothers successfully concocted a decent and quite operational plan——
On the pretext of "holding a swordsmanship show at the venue of the fireworks display", Aoto and Sanako were deceived! The swordsmanship performance will be carried out as it is, but during the period, opportunities for Aoto and Sanako to be alone and in close contact will be created as much as possible, etc.
When it was time for the fireworks to start setting off, he used the excuse "We're here, let's go watch the fireworks" as an excuse, and naturally created an opportunity for Ayoto and Sanako to watch the fireworks together!
Sanako is very interested in activities related to swordsmanship.
If you tell her, "Come to watch the fireworks," she will probably not come. But if you tell her, "Come to hold a sword show," she will most likely agree.
Chiba Jutaro grasped this point of Sanako's preference.
Sure enough, when Chiba Jutaro told Sanako that he was going to demonstrate swordsmanship with Chiba Tamonshiro at the fireworks display, Sanako immediately said with bright eyes, "Please let me participate!"
The above is the truth behind why Chiba Jutaro suddenly held a swordsmanship performance and invited Aonto to participate.
Everything is a routine.
So far, the plan is going quite smoothly.
Qingto and Sanako have successfully taken the "hook".
In recent days, Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Tamonshiro have been meeting every three days to discuss and improve the action plan.
Just like this moment, Chiba Jutaro made an appointment with Chiba Tamonshiro again to explain his new "combat plan".
"anyway……"
Chiba Tamonshiro suddenly changed the subject.
"Brother Shige, have you told Sanako that Tachibana-kun will come to participate in the swordsmanship performance tomorrow night?"
Chiba Jutaro was stunned and waved his hand: "Not yet, I plan to wait until tomorrow afternoon to tell her."
"Do you have to wait until so late to tell her?"
"Humph, don't you understand this?"
Chiba Jutaro grinned.
"It is safe enough to wait until the last moment when she has no time to regret."
It was obvious that the "battle" would begin the next night, but Chiba Jutaro had not told Sanako until now that "Aoden would perform swordsmanship with us".
The reason is just as Chiba Jutaro said just now: to prevent Sanako from feeling regret after hearing the news and refusing to participate in the swordsmanship performance tomorrow night.
Chiba Jutaro is still studying Sanako's current feelings and attitude towards Ayoto.
In order to ensure that tomorrow night's "battle" can be a complete success, Chiba Jutaro adopts the attitude of "be careful, be cautious" in every move he makes.
"Ah! Brother Duomen! I've thought of another idea that feels very good!"
Chiba Jutaro slapped his thigh suddenly, and then told Chiba Tamonshiro his so-called "new idea" with great interest: try to persuade Sanako to put on makeup tomorrow night...
…
…
About half an hour later——
Edo, Okemachi, Little Chiba Sword Hall, the No. 1 field exclusively used by members of the Chiba family——
Huh——! Huh——! Huh——!
The sound of the wooden naginata being swung at high speed filled every corner of the dojo.
Sanako, dressed in a white and blue kendo uniform, stood in the center of the dojo, waving a wooden naginata that was a head taller than herself at high speed.
The ponytail swung and the black hair flew.
Her pretty face glowed with a seductive red light, her pink neck was covered with glistening beads of sweat.
Looking at the delicate skills contained in the sword, the speed of the sword that can swing such a large sword up and down makes people dare not underestimate Sanako's naginata skills as "just a woman."
It’s a trick.”
Although Sanako is proficient in the Kodachi technique of Hoichen Itto style, the naginata technique is her best skill.
After completing a whole set of sword movements in one breath, Sanako handed the naginata to her left palm, gasping "Ha...ha..." while she put her free right hand into the lapel of her clothes and took it out.
A handkerchief for wiping sweat, gently testing the sweat beads on the face with graceful movements.
"It's still not going well..."
Sanako looked at the naginata in his hand and murmured.
She had just been practicing the new moves Chiba Sadayoshi taught her a few days ago.
I have practiced it over and over many times, but there is always a certain movement that just doesn't go smoothly no matter how I do it.
"Go and ask father for advice..."
After his breathing returned to steady and the sweat on his face and neck was wiped clean, Sanako held the naginata in his arms and strode towards the room of his father, Chiba Nobuyoshi, at a leisurely pace.
After a while, Chiba Nobuyoshi's bedroom appeared in front of Sanako's eyes.
"Father."
"Huh? Sanako, what's wrong?"
"There is something about the new move you taught me that I can't practice well, so I want to ask you for advice."
"Oh... then come in."
"yes."
At this moment, Chiba Nobuyoshi was taking some time out from his busy schedule to sit at the desk and read a book.
After Sanazi opened the door, he put down the book in his hand and said softly to Sanazi:
"Sanako, what part of the action do you don't understand?"
"Father, I don't know why, when I exert force in this position and lift the blade upward, I always feel that the power cannot be transmitted..."
…
Sanako succinctly informed Chiba Sadakichi of her urgent need for clarification.
"Oh... That's because your posture is not right. Your legs are too spread apart, so the force cannot be transferred smoothly from the ground to your waist and arms..."
Chiba Sadayoshi patiently guided Sanako.
"I see...I understand. Father, thank you for your advice."
After saying this, Sanako was about to get up and return to the dojo to test whether the tips Chiba Sadakichi had just given were a coincidence.
However, just when she was about to stand up, Chiba Nobuyoshi suddenly called out to her.
"Sanako, wait a moment."
"Huh? Father, what's wrong?"
"Well...it's nothing, I just have a question I want to ask you."
"Question?" Sanako knelt down and sat back down, "Father, may I ask."
"Sanako, I noticed that you have been practicing martial arts very diligently recently, and you are still in a good mood..." Chiba Nobuyoshi smiled, "So I want to ask you: What have you encountered recently that made you feel good?
Is it a good thing?"
Sanako was startled.
Then smiled:
"Father, you are worrying too much. I haven't encountered anything good recently that made me feel happy."
"The reason why I have been practicing martial arts so much recently...is not for any special reason. I just feel that my physical condition is quite good recently, so I want to take advantage of this good momentum to practice more martial arts."
"..." Chiba Sadakichi glanced deeply at Sanako, then said "huh" and took a deep breath, "Okay. No matter what, it is a good thing that you are diligent in practicing martial arts and in a good mood.
.”
"Keep it up."
"But you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and don't injure your body."
Sanako: "Yes!"
…
…
After coming out of Chiba Nobuyoshi's room, Sanako did not leave immediately.
"Aha……"
She took a deep breath and used her back to find the corridor wall beside her.
She just lied.
She recently... indeed encountered something good that made her feel happy.
…
(Miss Sanako, you don’t need to belittle yourself. If you strive for the best and move forward bravely, no one or anything in this world can stop you from shining. Miss Sanako, with your ability, one day you will be able to excel in martial arts.
Achieve achievements that everyone agrees with.)
…
Qingden's voice echoed in Sanako's ears...
These were the exact words Aintome said to Sanako a while ago when he was wiping sweat and resting in the inner courtyard after defeating the heroes of the Little Chiba Sword Hall.
After the words that were still ringing in my ears even though a lot of time had passed, a faint smile appeared on Sanako's cheeks.
Qingden probably didn't expect that...his words at that time could actually inspire Sanako so much.
Yes, I do not have the talent of Tachibana-kun... But as long as I work hard persistently, I can achieve outstanding achievements in martial arts that cannot be lost to anyone!
Sanako took a deep breath.
The heart is full of pride and ambition.
I wish I could immediately grow a pair of wings on my pink back, fly back to the dojo quickly, and continue to practice my martial arts hard.
However, at this moment, Sanako suddenly felt his brain recalling past events uncontrollably.
After recalling what Qingdeng said that day, I began to involuntarily think back to the scene I accidentally saw that day...
The half-fruited Qingdeng... has almost no fat, only a muscular upper body...
"..."
Sanako pursed her lips slightly, closed her eyes tightly, bent the index and middle fingers of her right hand, and tapped her forehead repeatedly with the second joint of her two fingers like a wooden fish.
"This kind of scene...is there anything worth remembering...?"
While muttering to himself in a scolding and annoyed tone, he used his tenacious willpower to force himself not to think about this "obscene" scene again.
After his mind calmed down a little, Sanako shook his head vigorously a few times, then hugged the wooden naginata and quickly returned to the dojo without stopping.
Returning to Field A and setting up a stance in the middle of the field, ready to start practicing again, Sanako suddenly heard familiar heavy footsteps coming from the door.
Following the sound, my brother's figure jumped into view.
"Brother, you are back."
Tonight's "secret meeting" between Chiba Jutaro and Chiba Tamonshiro ended successfully just now.
As far as the result is concerned, the two brothers' meeting tonight produced some meaningful results, and it was not a waste of time and drink money.
The two of them reached a unanimous consensus on the suggestion that "when the fireworks are set off tomorrow night, they both find excuses to leave, leaving Qingto and Sanako enough space to be alone."
Chiba Jutaro, who had returned from all the excitement, stood at the door of the dojo and cast a surprised look at Sanako inside the dojo.
"Eh? Sanako. It's so late, and you're still practicing martial arts?"
"Well. My body is in good condition today, so I want to stay in the dojo for a while."
"That's right..." Chiba Jutaro laughed, "Although practicing martial arts diligently is a good thing, you should also pay more attention to rest."
"Brother," Sanako said helplessly, "I'm not that kind of layman who doesn't even understand the principle of 'combination of work and rest'."
"Hahaha, you just have to know it by yourself. Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you can practice without any worries!"
After leaving these words, Chiba Jutaro turned around and strode away.
Clattering up the stairs to the second floor, he was about to return to his room——
"Jutaro."
The voice of his father, Chiba Nobuyoshi, came from beside him.
"Huh? Father?" Chiba Jutaro turned around and faced Chiba Nobuyoshi, who suddenly appeared beside him with his hands behind his back expressionlessly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Jutaro, you...come with me."
"Huh? Uh...where?"
"Come to my room, I have a question for you."
"Problem? Hmm...I understand..."
Although he didn't understand why, Chiba Jutaro still obeyed the order obediently.
He and Chiba Nobuyoshi walked through several corridors one after another and came to the old father's bedroom.
He crossed his legs and as soon as his butt settled on the tatami, Chiba Jutaro asked first:
"Father, do you have any questions to ask me?"
"It's not a serious question." Chiba Sadayoshi said calmly, "Sanako has always been in a good mood recently and practiced martial arts very diligently. So I wanted to ask you about Sanako's changes.
, do you know the inside story?"
"Huh? This...I'm not sure..."
"You don't know either..."
"But having said that, Sanako has really been very diligent recently! I just saw her practicing her naginata in Field A!"
After saying that, Chiba Jutaro sighed with emotion.
"Although I don't know why Sanako is suddenly so diligent... but this is a good thing! Sanako has been stuck in a bottleneck recently. If she works hard at this stage, she may be able to break through the current bottleneck in one go! Reached
New realm!”
"..."
"I just hope Sanako can maintain her current state. She has always been talented! If she can maintain her current momentum and work harder, it won't take long for her to reach new heights.
!”
"..."
Chiba Jutaro, who became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, straightened his waist.
"Given time, Sanako might become a warrior Hime worthy of being remembered in history!"
"..."
Compared with the excited Chiba Jutaro, Chiba Nobuyoshi has been showing a completely different expression since just now.
He said nothing and looked solemn...
…
…
Little Chiba Sword Hall, Field A——
——No...I still feel that my movements are not smooth...
Sanako frowned slightly, staring thoughtfully at the naginata in his hand.
——I have obviously followed my father's instructions... What is it that I haven't done well...?
——Let’s ask my father again...
Sanako, who decided to ask her old father for more advice, once again held the naginata in her arms and walked quickly towards Chiba Nobuyoshi's bedroom.
As soon as she arrived at the door of the room, she was surprised to find Chiba Jutaro's voice coming from inside the room.
——Huh? Brother?
Sanako stopped outside the room and blinked doubtfully at the closed door in front of her.
——Why is my brother in his father’s room?
Although she didn't know the reason why Chiba Jutaro appeared in her father's room, for the sake of politeness, Sanako decided to wait a while before visiting again.
However, at this moment——
"Father, you said, 'Zanako can't do it'... what do you mean?"
Chiba Jutaro's exclamation penetrated the door and reached Sanako's ears clearly.
Suddenly hearing his own name... Sanako's delicate body could not help but stiffen.
She subconsciously stopped and listened, and then she heard... a whisper that was like thousands of thunders roaring in her ears.
"That's the literal meaning. If Sanako is not good, she will never be able to become a warrior Ji who can leave a name in Qing history with her martial arts achievements. Her achievements... can only stop here."
