In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 392 Advancement
The fifth battle.

After the referee blew the whistle to signal both sides to enter the field, the atmosphere on and off the field became much quieter.

Kaoru Uesugi put on his helmet, fastened the strap behind the mask, picked up the bamboo knife placed flat on his left hand, and slowly stepped into the arena under the signal of the referee.

The same was true for Genichiro Naito. The two walked in unison and walked towards the center of the rectangular playing field together.

The two held swords in one hand, bowed to the audience and then bowed to each other, and then held the handle of the bamboo knife with both hands, looking at each other and squatting.

Squatting is an etiquette. Starting from the middle stance, the heels of the feet are internally rotated together, and then the body squats down while keeping the posture of the upper body unchanged.

In kendo, this is the embodiment of "preparing a strategy to defeat the opponent before the battle, reflecting a well-thought-out education".

The big screen at the Tokyo Budokan showed the appearance of two people in black armor holding knives.

The referee holding the red and white flag looked at each side left and right in the middle, and then waved the flag to announce the start of the game.

"start!!"

hand in hand

Genichiro Naito took the lead in launching an exit, the speed was so fast that people in the audience couldn't keep up with it, and the whole person seemed to fly forward—exit, striker, force the opponent to parry, and then use the collapse technique to collapse Oi Uesugi That weird quick strike just now.

Uesugi Kai won his previous two rounds because he took the lead in attacking.

Genichiro Naito was a little clearer.

Attacking will take a great advantage, but as long as he flies forward quickly, his performance will be greatly reduced.

Genichiro Naito slashed out with a single blow, which just hit Kai Uesugi's defensive posture.

His defense is still so fast and powerful.

But that's okay, Genichiro Naito didn't expect a long-range shot to defeat him.

This is a very talented and capable young man.

What now? After four rounds of half-hour contests, he, as the representative of Katori Shinto-ryu Kyoto branch, is confident that he will defeat him within ten rounds and get the last point to advance to the finals.

Genichiro Naito kept rolling his eyes, observing.

After the top is the hitter!
Genichiro Naito quickly turned the direction of his bamboo sword, and after blocking Uesugi Kai's counterattack, he knocked back on the bamboo sword he had struck. Taking advantage of the short time, he swung his sword with both hands and used his strength to spin, intending to slant Uesugi Kai's wrist .

These consecutive movements are so smooth that it is dazzling!
In the eyes of the audience, his bamboo knife was on the left side one second, and the next second it was on the lower right side.

Genichiro Naito wanted to entice him to defend his wrists—but Uesugi Kai didn't intend to be polite, he slashed head-on, throwing a slash.

The next second, just when Genichiro Naito thought that he would definitely feint to attack his face, the bamboo sword's Xian Ge suddenly appeared under his face.

what! ?

Genichiro Naito had no idea that he would be stabbed in the throat in this position.

He changed his defense in a panic, and at the same time quickly took a step back, but unfortunately, Zhudao Xiange had already landed on his mask.

"noodle!!"

Kai Uesugi shouted immediately, and walked over Genichiro Naito's unresponsive body, holding a sword in both hands behind him, maintaining a very handsome Zanshin.

noodle?
what's the situation! ?

The three referees were stunned for a while after hearing this loud shout, only to find that the figures of Uesugi Kai and Naito Genichiro had been completely staggered on the field, and Uesugi Kai was currently maintaining the remnant heart after winning the book.

Hanamaru Yuki was also surprised outside the court, and immediately frowned after being surprised.

What was that blow just now?He didn't understand a little, why did he hit each other out of nowhere?

The seniors watching the game at the edge of the arena were also so surprised that they subconsciously opened their mouths.

Whether it was the organizer or the audience, it took three seconds after Kai Uesugi shouted "Noodles" to realize that someone had scored!

The audience was silent.

Immediately afterwards, applause came from the auditorium, and then gradually, the applause spread until it filled the entire Budokan.

Reporter Kazuhiro Miyata stopped tapping his pen on his notebook, and the continuous applause lingered in his ears.

He was thinking back, what was that he saw just now?
Kai Uesugi had already returned to his seat and sat down, and the big screen showed him taking off his helmet to rest.

Genichiro Naito was still standing there, a little dazed.

The three referees were also a little uncertain, because none of them saw clearly just now.

The referee first went to the chairman's seat to confirm. After 5 minutes, the referee and the judges of the Kendo Federation confirmed that the blow just now was indeed counted as a valid score.

Now, the semi-finals can be regarded as a full stop.

Genichiro Naito froze in place, he was still thinking, he didn't understand how he was defeated by Kai Uesugi just now.

It's not so outrageous to counterattack with one move.

At this time, a replay was given on the big screen of the Budokan.

Genichiro Naito took off his helmet and looked over there.

In the screen, he launched the attack first.

The first sword, the second sword, the third sword, the fourth sword, there is no problem.

He attacked by himself, and Uesugi defended. When he defended, he used the counterattack of cutting and falling, and he took them one by one.

Everything looks perfectly normal.

The problem is that.
Genichiro Naito's eyes became serious, and he saw his fault.

The problem lies in the seventh and eighth swords they fought.

The prerequisite is that during the sixth sword, Uesugi suddenly stood up and pressed half of his body back. Uesugi's counterattack was very sharp, and the angle was extremely tricky.

Through this replay, he discovered that because of the foreshadowing of the sixth sword, when the seventh sword was fought, Uesugi's bamboo knife almost slid up against his bamboo knife, forming a beautiful blow. His piercing throat, because of this piercing throat, caused him to be in a hurry, resulting in the final result of defeat.

But in that case such an angle.
Genichiro Naito stared straight at the big screen that was constantly playing back, unable to understand.

The piercing throat just now gave him the feeling that it was suppressed in terms of technology and experience.

But I have studied kendo for decades, is it possible for someone to completely suppress myself in kendo?
he is a young man
I don't understand, I don't understand at all
"Little brother! Amazing!"

"Not bad!"

Faced with the enthusiasm of the seniors, Kai Uesugi smiled at everyone.

"The next two days! It's the championship game! Haha! Three consecutive championships!"

"Let's go, it's time to leave the stage to give a salute."

"Haha, right away."

The Kyoto team and the Tokyo team stood together, holding their helmets and saluting neatly towards the auditorium.

The big screens and cameras were all aimed at them, and the audience applauded thunderously, dedicating cheers and victory cheers to their young team.

After being promoted to the finals, Liu Quangang, the current chairman of the National Kendo Federation, went off to communicate with everyone in person, although he had met many people in the team several times in the past two years.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Quan Tsunichi's eyes fell on the youngest Uesugi Kai.

"Your name is Uesugi, isn't it?" Yanagizumi Tsunaichi said with a smile in his elegant kimono.

"Ah."

"Let me guess, just now you used the Thunder Fire Strike and Chance Strike of Ertian First-Class Water Scroll?"

Uesugi Kai was a little surprised, but unexpectedly recognized him, "Yes."

"Although Ertian Yiliu is one of the most famous schools in the ancient style, I didn't expect that there are still young people who can use these two moves so proficiently. The application in competitive kendo is also very successful. It is very good. Next, please Keep going!"

As soon as Liu Quangang spoke, he was very cordial. He shook hands with everyone, and the camera and many media just took pictures of this scene.

Not long after, Uesugi faced the point of being chased for an interview.

Outside the Tokyo Budokan.

Hanamaru Hiroki saw Kai Uesugi approaching alone.

Hanamaru Hanabi who was standing next to Hanamaru Yuki called him first, and waved: "Kai-kun!"

Uesugi Kai who walked in smiled at the girl.

Hanamaru Hiroki looked at him and asked: "Aren't you going to watch the game this afternoon? Your big brother is in the afternoon. Although the opponent is also very strong, their team has a high probability of winning."

"No need, just win the game, and leave the rest to two days later." Kai Uesugi replied to Yuki Hanamaru.

"You are quite confident." Hanamaru Hiroki said with a smile.

"However, Sakakibara is using you as a weapon. He wants you to frustrate your big brother. In the past two years, he has won two championships in a row, but he is in full swing."

"I know." Uesugi Kai said, not caring about it, "Uncle, are you going to have lunch at home today?"

Hanamaru Yuki took out his mobile phone to check the time, and a text message just came. He looked at the content of the text message and replied: "I want to go, but I'm afraid I don't have a chance."

"Dad. Is there a job again?"

"Yes, I have a job again, it's a pity."

After Hanamaru Hiroki told Hanamaru Hanabi a few words, he said to Uesugi Kai: "Don't take Hanabi to play outside too late in the afternoon, go home early, and don't stay outside."

"no problem."

After saying a few very father-in-law words, Hanamaru Hiroki left.

Now, only two people are left.

Uesugi Kai looked back at Hanamaru Hanabi's weak and delicate face beside her, she was smiling silly to herself.

Kai Uesugi couldn't help but be infected by her heart-warming face.

"Is my husband handsome in the competition just now?"

"Handsome." Hanamaru Hanabi replied nonchalantly, "So handsome, so handsome!"

"Then Hua Huo Jiang admits that I am your husband?"

"That's not it!" Hanamaru Hanabi smiled slightly, "Kai-kun is still Hanabi's boyfriend."

"Shouldn't it be the fiance?"

"It's all"

"Now let's go to the street to play? We can go to a love hotel together."

"No! Kai-kun should go home now, Kai-kun is sweating a lot, go home and take a shower!"

"Love hotels can also wash."

"No! You must go home!"

"Then I want Huahuo sauce to wash it for me."

"Okay."

"Huh? Agreed?"

Hanamaru Hanabi nodded, jumped in front of him briskly, stood under the shade of a tree and looked up at him with her little face:

"But... it's limited to washing your back for Mr. Kai."

"As long as I have it, I'm satisfied." Uesugi Kai smiled, "Then let's go, let's go home now!"

"No, no, no!" Hanamaru Hanabi quickly pulled him back.

"what happened again?"

"You should go grocery shopping first, and then go home together after shopping."

Uesugi Kai smiled to the girl who was holding his hand beside him: "Okay, listen to you."

Hanamaru Hanabi hugged his arm happily, like a coquettish little girlfriend, laughing together under the shade of a tree, and walked towards the supermarket.

------

There are two more days until the final.

Uesugi's current thoughts should be on the wedding on October 10, which is one month later.

Choosing a wedding style is a tangled matter, he wants to see Hanabi wearing a wedding dress, but also wants to see Hanabi wearing Bai Wugou.

I want to see Huahuo with a happy smile on his face, and call himself dear with a happy face at the wedding.

Perhaps it was because of his longing for that scene, Kai Uesugi always dreamed of life after marriage.

Get married, take vows, and kiss happily together under the witness of relatives and friends.

Since then, I have lived a sweet life in the ordinary day after day.

Every day I worry about what to eat for the next meal, and I pout ambiguously every day.

When the time is right, start having babies.

Xiao Huahuo is shy. She didn't expect to succeed at first, but she became pregnant right away.

Pregnant for the first time, a little anxious, and a little restless.

But children are always born and come into this world.

So, while living while living the daily life of pregnancy.

Seeing Hanabi's belly getting bigger day by day, she is in a good mood, but Kai Uesugi is worried that she will suffer from prenatal anxiety symptoms.

Until the day the child was born, Kaoru Uesugi rushed into the ward excitedly. He rushed in with worries and fears, and saw Hanamaru Hanabi smiling at him while holding the two children. The doctors and nurses smiled and said to him: Mother and child Safety.

Kaoru Uesugi let go of his heart, and looked at the newborn baby together with Hanamaru Hanabi who was sitting on the bed.

The child grew up day by day, a bit naughty, but gradually learned to walk and call mom and dad, both of them were happy for this.

Time continues to move. At this time, the younger sisters have grown up and have their own lives and goals. They will worry about the difficulty of the homework. Full and happy.

The days go on, the kids grow up, and they get old.

Spending the happy first half of life peacefully, the two leaned together, enjoying the afterglow of the setting sun on the mountain, and chatting about daily trivial matters.

But people will die after all, and that day will eventually come in the days after a happy life.

That day, surrounded by his children, Kai Uesugi saw that Hanamaru Hanabi was still smiling at him before leaving, and couldn't help crying while hugging her.
Separation is separation after all.

Since then, Kai Uesugi has carefully wiped the memories between the two of them every day, her photo albums, her paintings, and the gifts she gave herself.
Sometimes when I saw her innocent and lovely smile on her photo album, I couldn't help holding the photo in my arms, imagining the warmth and fragrance of her body lingering in my nose, and curled up sobbing.

Decades of memories, bit by bit, she calls her name every day, Mr. Zhao.

It was obviously a perfect life, but Kai Uesugi was on the verge of collapse when he saw her leave.

Kaoru Uesugi recalled the dreams he had on the bed, and understood what he feared most—parting.

he doesn't want to say goodbye
He wanted to continue this happy time forever.

Kai Uesugi turned over at night, and with the help of the starlight outside the window, he could clearly see Hanamaru Hanabi's tender face under the moonlight.

Uesugi Kai looked at her sleeping face, and reached out to hug her.

She is lying in his arms, her petite body emits aroma and heat, she is still real and beautiful
fireworks
Her caring and gentleness make people want to rely on her.
