Original God, starting from the sister against the brother

【Two-in-one chapter】

months ago.

In a residential building somewhere in Inazuma Castle.

The girl Qianzhi lay weakly on the table with a frown on her face.

Following her gaze, Chizhi was staring at the first piece she designed - the "Sleeve".

"Sode" is a doll created by Chiori based on her own appearance.

The role of the "sleeves" is to serve as a model for Chiori.

When designing clothes, Chizhi is accustomed to using less fabric to test the "sleeves" first. If the effect is satisfactory, she will consider making this design into a finished product.

After all, high-end fabrics are not cheap. And Qianzhi herself would not allow a clothing design that she herself could not pass to be released.

However, the style and design of the clothes that "Sode" is wearing now is the most satisfying work that Qianzhi has designed after spending several months.

However, when Qianzhi showed the finished clothes to the tailor teacher, unsurprisingly, he rejected it again.

Even the reason for the refusal has not changed, it is still "It's against the rules to do so."

What was different from the past was that this time, the tailor teacher not only rejected Chizhi's design, but also expelled her from the school.

At the table.

There was a helpless sigh.

As she grows older, Chizhi now has gradually understood her teachers.

Whether it was the teacher who taught her tailoring or the teacher who taught her swordsmanship.

They have never denied Qianzhi's talent, but they often grit their teeth at Qianzhi's wild ideas.

After all, Inazuma is a country that pursues [eternity].

And variables are often the enemy of eternity.

Take swordsmanship as an example.

In Inazuma, almost all sword techniques and swordsmithing skills are passed down directly by the current gods.

Even though the current schools are slightly different, they are the result of branching out due to the different qualifications of their successors.

But no matter how things change, the source of the magic is still the martial arts of the god Lei Dian.

However, the dual swords that Chiori wanted to wield had no corresponding style within Inazuma.

In other words, wanting to accept Chiori as a disciple and continue to allow Chiori to develop the dual-sword style is equivalent to establishing a sect in Inazuma Castle.

Although, establishing a sect in Inazuma Castle did not violate the law, it was just...

Inazuma has her own rules.

Since ancient times, anyone who wanted to establish a sect in the land of Inazuma had to perform a not-too-troublesome ceremony.

That is - to go to the castle tower and challenge the power of that thunder.

As long as you can withstand a few moves from that great god, you will be qualified to establish your own sect throughout the entire Inazuma.

At that time, both the official and private martial arts schools will do their best to welcome them and provide assistance in establishing martial arts schools.

That’s right, since ancient times, few people have been able to successfully challenge it.

The teacher who was hired to teach Qianzhi swordsmanship had not yet thought of facing the power of thunder.

Therefore, he only taught Chizhi some basic swordsmanship and then resigned from Chizhi's father.

He even didn't let Qianzhi pay homage to him as his teacher.

"Your child has a unique personality. I am too stupid to ruin this talent."

These were the exact words of the swordsmanship teacher when he asked for his resignation, and since then, Chizhi has never seen this teacher again.

This is true of swordsmanship, and the skills of tailoring are similar.

By "graduating" from one tailoring teacher after another, although Chizhi came into conflict with many tailoring masters in Inazuma Castle, she also gained a lot of experience and skills from them.

Just like the reason why these masters rejected Chizhi.

It’s not that Qianzhi’s talent is dull, but Qianzhi’s bold approach does not conform to the rules of the textile industry.

Although Inazuma's textile industry, unlike martial arts, has not received guidance from the Shogun, it also has rules set by ancestors.

Inazuma's national conditions are different from those of other countries.

Compared to the freedom of other countries, Inazuma, who pursues "eternity", values ​​inheritance more.

Or, it could be that their ancestors have been engaged in a certain industry for generations.

Or, they learn skills from a master since childhood and work as odd jobs for more than ten years. When the relationship with the master becomes as close as that of father and son, the master will teach them all the ancestral skills.

Therefore, in all walks of life in Inazuma, there are many apprentices who have studied for more than ten years, as well as masters who have worked for a lifetime.

Under this kind of inheritance, the people who set industry rules are either the patriarch of the family or the ancestors.

If this continues, anyone who dares to change the ancestral rules will lose his head.

Craftsmen can make minor adjustments within the rules of their ancestors to develop their own style.

However, anyone who dares to change the ancestral rules is challenging the jobs of everyone in the industry, and people will not let the challengers off easily.

Therefore, no tailor teacher would allow Chizhi to become his apprentice, and they all chose to let Chizhi "graduate".

.....

Qianzhi stood up and made herself a cup of tea.

Watch the tea leaves fall in the cup from top to bottom in an orderly manner.

Qianzhi couldn't help but wonder what her future would be like.

Most of the old tailors in Inazuma City knew of his "bad reputation". Not only did they avoid him, they also threatened to boycott him together.

The only one who extended an olive branch to me was my senior sister Mio Ogura.

She inherited [Oguraya] from her mother, on the one hand out of appreciation for her talent, on the other hand as compensation for herself...

Some time ago, Chiori had learned tailoring skills from Ogura Mio's mother in "Oguraya".

Ogura Mio's mother's attitude towards Chiori is also understandable.

He did not deliberately isolate Chiori because of her "bad reputation", but treated Chiori as a normal apprentice.

until...

During those days, a member of the Tenryo Bugyo of the Kujo family came to Kokura-ya and placed a very urgent order, and specifically requested that this order require Kokura-ya to jump the queue and rush the production.

Qianzhi, who does not stick to the rules in clothing design, strictly follows the first-come-first-served rule when serving customers. She did not cut in line for Tianling's order, but continued to complete the work at hand.

However, because of Qianzhi, the delivery time of this order was a little slower than expected.

Although, in the end, it was used by the Tianling Bugyo Lords and nothing was delayed.

However, Ogura Mio's mother became unusually angry and scolded Chiori for this matter.

And because of different ideas, Chiori got up and bid farewell to [Oguraya], and once again "graduated" from her master.

......

After this incident, senior sister Ogura Mio made a special trip to find Chiori, apologized to Chiori for her mother's matter, and explained to Chiori in detail the reason why [Ogura-ya] expedited the order for Tenryo Bugyo.

It turns out that Ogura Mio's father was a foster relative of the Tenryo Bugyo family (a virtual bloodline system during the Warring States period in ancient Japan).

The member of the Tenryo Bugyo who placed the order was, in terms of blood relationship, Ogura Mio's uncle.

This time, it was indeed an urgent task that was suddenly issued from above, rather than a need for expedited response for personal purposes.

The reason why Ogura Mio's uncle chose to go to [Ogura-ya] was because it was his brother's store.

On the one hand, you can take care of your brother's family business.

On the other hand, [Oguraya] is a century-old tailor shop after all, so the quality is guaranteed. Besides, the owner is one of us, so it is easy to make expedited requests.

Therefore, for Ogura Mio's mother, this order was not only related to Tenryo Bugyo, but also to her own "duty".

After all, helping the husband's family is itself a woman's virtue.

Qianzhi expressed her understanding of her senior sister's explanation and never complained about her master.

Chizhi understood her master's choice. Coming from an Inazuma family, she had no misunderstanding or resistance to such social practices.

However, Qianzhi does not want to bring worldly wisdom into her favorite career.

For this reason, and also because she did not want to be someone else's disciple for a long time and wanted to develop her own brand, Chiori declined the invitation from her senior sister Ogura Mio.

only...

After rejecting the only olive branch offered to her, Qianzhi was confused as to where she should go...

Inazuma no longer has a place for herself in the clothing industry.

However, the business world that his parents were engaged in was not suitable for his personality.

In addition, Chizhi's parents don't want their daughter to go down this difficult old path again.

Qianzhi glanced at the two swords hanging on the wall.

"I can't... really go into martial arts... Maybe, with my personality, I'm really suitable for martial arts..."

"I heard that a young demon has recently become active in Hanamizaka in Inazuma Castle. Why don't we meet him?"

"Forget it. My love for swords is ultimately not as great as my joy in cutting fabrics..."

However, it is no longer possible for me to gain a foothold in the clothing industry of Inazuma City.

and many more!

"Inazuma" and "fashion industry" are not tied together.

"【Fontaine】..."

Qianzhi whispered softly, but the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.

My parents brought back books and magazines describing Fontaine from foreign merchants.

Qianzhi knew that [Fontaine] was a country that pursued fashion and art.

So...

I wonder if my wild and imaginative creativity can create a storm in a foreign country.

Chihiro was shaking with excitement.

Ogura, [Ogura-ya]; then can my own name "Chiori", have... [Chiori-ya]?

In an instant, the strings in my heart began to vibrate.

[Fontaine] and [Senori-ya], these two words play an extremely beautiful chord.

In a trance, Qianzhi found that she had found the way to the future.

Looking at the tea at hand, the last tea leaf still floating on the water also found the right direction at this moment.

Fall slowly.

Chizhi picked up the teacup and drank it down without caring about etiquette.

"bump."

Chizhi suddenly opened the door of her room, then opened the door of her home without saying goodbye and left.

At home, Chizhi's parents looked at each other, wondering what had happened to their daughter.

After a while, Chiori returned home after making threats at various tailor shops in Inazuma Castle.

He told his parents in person that he was going to [Fontaine] and "I will leave tomorrow."

Chizhi's mother looked at her husband beside her with a reproachful look.

"This child, what good thing could he have inherited from you? He inherited your personality."

Although there was some surprise on the husband's face, he did not show any rejection. Instead, he looked at his daughter with interest.

"Haha, our daughter is naturally extraordinary."

"Qizhi, go back to the house and pack your things. As it happens, there is a merchant ship leaving from the island to Fontaine tomorrow."

"But tonight, Mom and Dad have to give you a few more instructions."

"Ah."

Chizhi nodded, not feeling too surprised that her parents respected her opinion and fully supported her.

Immediately, Qianzhi walked towards her room, preparing to pack her luggage for a long journey.

but...

As soon as she opened the door, Qianzhi was frightened by the scene inside the house and screamed subconsciously.

In the hall, Chizhi's parents' faces changed after hearing their daughter's cry. They hurriedly left their seats and walked towards their daughter's room.

"Daughter! What happened!"

The anxious father didn't have time to think about it. He kicked open his daughter's door, looked inside the room, and then exclaimed.

“This…this is!!!”

"What happened?"

Chizhi's mother also rushed to her daughter's room and looked at the scene inside.

As a result, no one said a word.

The doll [Sleeve] made by the daughter to try on clothes actually came to life.

As if showing off the clothes his daughter made for him, he kept spinning in circles on the table.

Finally, like a dance coming to an end, the Sleeve stopped and floated towards the daughter.

Qianzhi's mother was about to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by her husband in front of her.

The puzzled wife followed her husband's solemn gaze.

Suddenly, I discovered that in the hand of the puppet [Sleeve], there was a shining eye of the rock element god.

Qianzhi's father smiled with relief. With this power bestowed by God, he felt much relieved from his worries about his daughter.

I think that my daughter who possesses the eyes of God can make that family heirloom shine with the brilliance it deserves.

Looking at her husband's back as he suddenly left, Chizhi's mother guessed what her husband meant.

The child's father is going to give the famous sword that has been passed down from generation to generation to his daughter.

Its name is [Youle Yulianqi].
