Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 437 Mapo Noodle Restaurant
Not only that, he also talked to Miyahana and Miyazaki from time to time, asking them about some techniques of kendo.

The so-called killing and punishing the heart is nothing more than that.

"Well, Arakawa-kun, can I interrupt you?"

At this time, someone couldn't help asking questions.

"Well, okay, what's the matter?"

"Have you... ever learned the art of swordsmanship?"

"I haven't learned kendo." Nozomi Arakawa smiled slightly.

impossible!Miyazaki Hui shouted in his heart, he must be a master of kendo!
Novices can't even grasp the traces of the sword's swing, how can they defeat us who have studied for several years? !
Yes, yes, it must be so!
He must be pretending to be a newcomer, that's the only way to make sense!

And Gong Hua also had this idea.

After all, the existence of genius is to inadvertently hurt other people, especially those who are more motivated.

"Really? But I don't think you look like a novice when you swing your sword."

"Oh, you said that I have practiced sword swinging, but kendo is different from ordinary sword practice, right?"

Everyone was stunned.

It is true to say that, the orthodox way of swordsmanship is indeed difficult.

But Arakawa hoped that he would be able to defeat Miyazaki Teru and Gonghua who had been practicing for several years by just practicing casually. Isn't it too good?
"Arakawa-kun, did you practice it yourself?"

"No, I practiced with an uncle from a young age."

When he said this, the appearance of a wolf appeared in his mind.

He has been able to get to this day, except for his own efforts, basically relying on wolves.

Whether it was practice or guidance, the wolf in the dilapidated temple taught him almost all his skills without reservation...

In the end, freeing the wolf who almost fell into Shura was the only kindness he could repay.

Hearing this, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.

No wonder he is so good, he has been practicing since childhood.

Even Miyazaki Teru and Gonghua felt a lot better.

If this is the case, then losing to Nozomi Arakawa is indeed not a shame.

"Wow, then your uncle must be a very powerful person?" Another girl raised her interest.

"I don't know about it. After all, I haven't compared it with people outside, but in my heart he is indeed the most powerful. Before he died, he said that if I like kendo, I should go outside to find a teacher to study hard, so I just coming."

"Okay, okay, stop chatting, the lunch break is over, and you have to keep training until five o'clock in the afternoon!" Kotaro yelled.

Time flies, Nozomi Arakawa spends the whole afternoon learning the...knowledge of kendo.

Yes, knowledge.

He has considerable confidence in sword skills.

But even so, in kendo competitions, there are still many movements that violate the rules.

He must understand the rules, so as not to violate the rules, and avoid the tragic result of being declared a failure for violating the rules.

After the training, the trainees invited Momo Arakawa to play, but he politely declined.

As the man representing the dojo to participate in the Fuyuki Kendokan competition, he naturally had to stay for special training.

Although the competition will start tomorrow, within today he must take up some knowledge about kendo.

This special training lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.

"Then let's stop here."

"Okay, thank you." Nozomi Arakawa was about to get up and leave.

"By the way, why not sleep here for the night? There happens to be a vacant room upstairs." Hoshino Kotaro suggested, "And it's also very close to the Kendo Hall. I can wake you up tomorrow morning. Of course, If your home is very close to here, just pretend I didn’t tell you.”

"Thank you very much then."

For free accommodation, Nozomi Arakawa did not refuse.

"By the way, would you like some ramen?" Kotaro glanced at the time.

At 09:30, nearly four hours have passed since dinner, and it would be great to have some ramen from Mapo Restaurant at this time.

Fengtai got up silently when she heard these words, and slipped upstairs almost silently.

"Fengta! Bring me two ramen back!" Kotaro shouted.

"Can't you escape..." Feng Tai sighed.

"If you want to eat, just buy three servings. Remember, it's Mapo Noodle House!"

"Good good..."

Looking at the back of Fengta leaving the dojo, Nozomi Arakawa said doubtfully:
"Ma Po Noodle House, the name is very interesting."

"Yeah, I've been eating there for more than [-] years, but their noodle restaurant wasn't called that. To be precise, it was still a restaurant at that time," Xiaotaro said, "It was called Ozawa or something at first. Yes, I forgot the name too, after all it has been so long...

But I remember that there was a customer who liked mapo tofu in the store at that time, and it seemed to be the priest of Fuyuki Church..."

"Really? It seems that this priest loves Mapo tofu very much."

"Yeah, the business of that store was not very good at that time, and it was impossible to survive only with the support of me and a few classmates. It was the priest who bought a large number of super spicy mapo tofu every day that made the store survive. After that difficult period, of course, the name of the store was changed to Mapo Noodle House.”

"I think it's better to just change it to that priest's name."

"Yes, but it must be that the priest is unwilling."

Kotaro suddenly stood up from the ground.

"By the way, there is still a little time for Mrs. Feng to come back anyway. Shall we try to compare?"

Nozomi Arakawa thought about it, but did not refuse.

After all, I have learned so much knowledge before, and it is not bad to practice it.

The two picked up the bamboo knife, walked to the center of the venue, saluted, and then stepped forward.

"Then let's begin."

Kotaro holds the knife in both hands, arms slightly forward.

Arakawa hopes to follow suit.

The bamboo knives of the two approached in parallel, touching lightly from time to time.

This is physical touch, waiting for an opportunity to find the opponent's weakness, or to restore one's own physical strength.

But the game has just started, and both of them are naturally looking for the opponent's weaknesses.

Looking at Nozomi Arakawa's hand, Kotaro felt that he had caught his flaw.

Nozomi Arakawa's posture with the sword was not very good, his hands were too close to swing the blade.

If this happens, it will have an impact on the shot.

But in the competition of kendo, even a second is the key factor that can determine the outcome!
Hmph, young people are still too young!
The bamboo sword in Kotaro's hand stabbed suddenly. He studied natural Rishin-ryu and was known for his speed.

This sentence should be able to teach Nozomi Arakawa a lesson, no matter what time, the posture must be correct!
However, the next moment, he felt something long and thick against his throat.

"What...how is it possible?!" He opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He didn't even see clearly how Nozomi Arakawa made his move.

Arakawa smiled slightly.

At that moment just now, Kotaro thought he had caught his own flaw.

But this is actually the bait deliberately exposed by Nozomi Arakawa.

Yes, kendo posture is very important, because it will affect the coordination of the body.

But this is not the case for Nozomi Arakawa, even if his posture is slightly improper, he can easily defeat his opponent. ,

So he can use this to lure the opponent to attack and win.
