Chapter 44
"Well, since grandpa is back, I'll go to see him. After all, I still need to ask grandpa about this matter. Although it's a bit late, if grandpa knows the news, he should be very happy." A young woman The voice came from inside the house.

"Okay, miss." Miyagawa Yuki who heard the voice inside the room turned to look at the figure inside the room.

"Then, let's go, Yuuki."

I saw a figure walking out of the darkness, in a purple printed kimono, with beautiful and smooth long straight hair casually thrown behind him, holding a simple samurai sword in Asami Kawasaki's sight, if Aoba Asama Appearing here, he would immediately recognize this woman.

"Nine Ghosts Miki!"

******************************
Soon Asami Kawasaki led Yuki Miyagawa and Miki Kuki to the door of a side room in the front hall of the manor. Asami Kawasaki knelt in front of the door as before, and knocked lightly on the door frame a few times.

"Master, Miss is here." Asami Kawasaki lowered her head and said softly.

After waiting for a while, an old voice came from behind the door.

"Well, come in."

Kawasaki Asami who heard the voice slowly opened the door, signaling the lady behind her to come in.

Mihime Kuki looked at the wooden door that was pushed open and was about to enter, but suddenly thought of something, stopped, and turned to look at Miyagawa Yuki who was still following her.

"Yuuki, wait for me outside the door."

"Yes, miss." Yuki Miyagawa's expression didn't change at all, she just lowered her head and said yes, staying outside the door with Asami Kawasaki, saw Miki Kunomiya go in, and pushed the wooden door shut again.

This is an empty room, the floor is all made of rectangular log-colored Japanese-style rattan mats. It is a typical Japanese-style bedroom. Starting from the entrance, there are about one The brass-colored metal lampstands of Migao, each lampstand is lit with a white candle, and the lit candlelight can only illuminate a small spot under the lampstand, which looks a bit dim to Miki Kuki who just entered , other than that, there is nothing else in the room.

Miki Kuki walked to the middle of the room, then slowly knelt down and sat down, looking at the dark shadow in the depths of the room, without making any sound.

"Ahem, Meggie, calling grandpa back in such a hurry, is something happening in the family?" An old voice sounded.

An old man with a head of white hair sat up from the shadows, his white beard was almost hanging down to his chest, and those bulging muscles were clearly visible under the seemingly thin clothes, which made people unbelievable. Such a figure would belong to such an old man. If you observe carefully, you can even clearly see a part of the scar exposed by the old man's collar that cannot be completely covered.

Nine Ghosts Meiji watched the old man sit up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, two dazzling lights pierced through the darkness in front of him, and a sharp momentum rushed towards him, even Nine Ghosts Meiji , still somewhat uncomfortable.Sure enough, he is known as the strongest swordsman in Japan, and the one closest to the swordsman.

It's just that it may not be the case now, a figure appeared in the mind of Miki Nine Ghosts.

"It's not that something happened in the family, grandpa, or even if something happened in the family, it doesn't matter now." Jiugui Meiji raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of the old man opposite. He is her grandfather, the head of the entire Jiugui family. , the strongest kendo master Kuki Takeo.

"Oh?" The old man Jiugui Wufu was stunned for a moment, does it not matter if there is an accident in the family?If the words in front of him were not spoken by his granddaughter, he would have been dragged out and sent to a mental hospital.And just because he was his granddaughter, he understood Miki Kuki's character, knew that she couldn't talk nonsense, and was full of doubts in his heart.

Wufu Jiugui recalled the information he received today, and his own understanding of various changes in the situation in recent times, and he has never heard of anything happening. If there is any problem or emergency in the country, before that, Jiugui Everyone will definitely receive detailed information.

But to make Jiugui Meiji say that the family is not important, and Meiji came to see her in such a hurry today, it must not be a trivial matter.

But I have just returned from my old friend's dojo, and as myself and my old friend, there is no commotion in the world under the light of day.As for the underground world.
The only major event was that a few years ago, the apprentices taught in that place suddenly betrayed the master and turned the underground world upside down. Even their Nine Ghosts' family had a lot of troubles at that time.

Apart from this incident, the most recent one was only a few months ago when a traitor from the Budo sect from the big country in the west came to Japan all the way, as if he was looking for someone, although he was not sure if he found it, But there were still a lot of problems in the process, but for the Jiugui family, it was just a trivial matter, and it has been resolved now.

Takeo Kuki looked suspiciously at Miki Kuki, who was kneeling in front of him. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of what happened recently that would attract Miki's attention.

He slowly picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip. This girl couldn't be making a fuss.

Miki Kuki looked at Takeo Kuki who was full of doubts in front of him, and knew that her grandfather couldn't guess why she said that.But even if it was her, Miki Kuki would not believe it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

Miki Nine Ghosts hesitated for a moment. This matter was very important to her, to her family, and even more important to her grandfather.

She took a gentle breath, placed the katana and boy Kiriyatsuna in front of the two of them, and looked at her grandfather solemnly.

"Grandpa, first of all, I want to confirm with you whether the content of the sword cry in the family record is true or not." Jiugui Meiji raised the knife in her hand and looked at Jiugui Wufu not far away.

"Huh? For such a question, you actually called me back in the middle of the night. The contents of this family record were personally written by every head of the family. The only rule is that false information is not allowed to be recorded, otherwise Expelled from the family, didn't I tell you this when you were very young?" Kuki Takeo looked at Kuki Miki helplessly.

I dare say that this matter is more important than the existence of the family. Is it because the tasks I entrusted to her recently are too heavy, which has caused some mental problems for this child. Do you want to give her a break, or ask Dr. Harada to come? Come home, that guy seems to be a doctor of psychology.

"Then in the first episode of this record, [Jianming is an unworldly sword hero] recorded in this Jianming, this sentence means that when the head of the family held the boy Qie Angang, it caused the Jianming, which became the world's most powerful swordsman. Unparalleled swordsman, Miji understands right." Miki Nine Ghosts didn't care about Grandpa's rhetorical question, but directly confirmed the contents of the record to Grandpa.

"Meiji, you are a little presumptuous. That sword cry was written by the first generation head of our Nine Ghosts family. That lord is one of the sword masters who only existed in one palm in history. That's why we have our present book. Kuki's family, so you must maintain due respect, Miki." Kuki Takeo looked at Miki Kuki sternly in front of him, he didn't care about it for a while, why did he start to be so presumptuous.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, Meiji knows I'm wrong." Jiugui Meiji lowered her head, although she was anxious to confirm the contents of the book, her questioning method was indeed a bit presumptuous.

"Well, it's good to know. Speaking of this, I feel very sad. Hundreds of years have passed. Since the last sword master died, there has never been a sword master in the world. Could it be that the future of swordsmanship is really cut off? Is it?" Every time Jiugui Wufu thinks of this place, he is very sad. Every generation of Jiugui's family is working hard for this goal. As for those secular businesses, they all exist to assist this goal.

It's a pity that the severance of the way of swordsmanship caused all the efforts of the Jiugui family to become illusory bubbles.
