Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

"What are you here for?"

As a sword master who has won three consecutive national championships, Ninety-nine True Red has undoubtedly become the absolute protagonist of the dojo. After he appeared, those who had gathered around Beichen Sixth Generation all politely said goodbye and left. Even the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department and the top executives of the consortium were talking to him eagerly.

The chief of police wants to recruit this top expert to become the "special trainer" of the Metropolitan Police Department, so that he can bring honor to him and make him go faster on the road to pursuing power. The senior executives of the consortium also want to take it under their control. Whether it is a treasure to increase the family heritage or a luxury item to show off, it is a very good choice.

Although the sixth generation Otsuka Yoichiro is apparently the supreme ninth-dan, the gold content of this honorary rank is far less respectable than that of the youngest eighth-dan swordsman.

Ranking in Neon Kendo has never been a test of actual combat prowess. Even if the examination requirements include actual combat, it is more of a formal or ceremonial thing. The so-called actual combat only provides a stage for performance, just like an actor. It’s the same as the person reading the lines during the audition.

After all, even an eighth-dan swordsman at the age of sixty would never be able to defeat a forty-year-old fourth- and fifth-dan swordsman in his prime. It would be too disgraceful to ask those in their seventies or eighties to compete with young people. No one wants to lose their security in their old age.

Therefore, those who truly represent the strongest combat power of kendo are the holders of the seventh and eighth dan kendo. In the annual seventh and eighth dan selection competitions, the winners must also be the best in the national conference.

As for Jiujiu Zhenhong, who was in his forties at the time, if nothing unexpected happened, he still wanted to rule Neon Kendo for at least five years. Regardless of their age or occupation, everyone present has at least one thing in common, that is, they all have a love for kendo, at least that was the way they used to be.

So everyone is curious as to why this most powerful representative in the Neon Kendo world would appear on an occasion like tonight. After all, after dominating three consecutive national conventions, this gentleman honorably stopped participating in the national conventions and turned to other honors that he did not have yet. Would such a swordsman with such noble interests like to join in the fun as much as they do?

"Are you also doing it for Hojo Kyosuke?"

Someone asked that they had not heard the previous conversation between the two of Daoji Temple, but as soon as this question was raised, others felt that it was absolutely impossible. After all, one is a golden eagle soaring in the sky, and the other is a cat running on the ground. A cat may be able to jump up on a wall and wave its paws twice, but it can never touch the sky.

In fact, even Daodaoji himself didn't quite believe it after hearing what Ninety-Nine True Red said.

But that’s what Neon’s youngest eighth-level swordsman said. He squinted his eyes and smiled very gently and said softly:

"Yes, I also want to see the invincible Hojo Kyosuke."

Anyone who hears his voice will unconsciously recall his student days. He is the kind of teacher with very rich qualifications.

There was a piece of gossip written in an issue of the Kendo League's magazine "Kenzu", saying that this powerful swordsman felt that he would be laughed at as a four-eyed chicken when he wore glasses when he was a student, so he refused to wear glasses even though he was short-sighted. , so he used to squint his eyes to chop and see people every time he competed in kendo competitions. Therefore, he was nicknamed "Eyeless Victory" by his opponents, which meant that he could tell the winner before opening his eyes.

Although it is common for great people to have nicknames in their school days, since Ninety-Nine True Red does not wear glasses in order not to become a four-eyed chicken wine, then naturally he will not be called an eyeless man maliciously, so it is still very He soon wore glasses, but the habit of squinting remained.

"Do you also think that kid is too arrogant?"

"Kujiu-sama is not the kind of narrow-minded person. I think he must have taken a fancy to Hojo Kyosuke's talent and wanted to persuade him to transfer to Kyushu."

"Indeed, with the guidance of Lord Ninety-nine, it might be even shorter for Hojo to obtain the eighth-dan qualification."

"..."

There are all kinds of speculations. After watching several fierce and exciting competitions in a row, everyone's heads are obviously filled with excited blood.

"Hahaha, it's not like that. I just think that maybe I can learn more from Hojo-kun and make my swordsmanship more refined." Ninety-Nine True Red said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the people around him opened their mouths in surprise. Some people said that the sword master was too humble. Some people started to discuss whether Hojo Kyosuke was really that powerful. Some people planned to jump out and kill Hojo Kyosuke later.

"Lord Ninety-nine, do you also think that Hojo-kun's swordsmanship is very powerful?"

One voice stood out and overwhelmed the others, and the reason why this voice was special was, firstly, because of the weird Japanese emphasis, and secondly, because of the appearance of the person who spoke it.

A foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, his light blond hair fell snugly on his scalp, and he made a big slick of hair with hair wax. With his good looks, he stood out among the crowd of office workers and policemen.

What is even more special is his name, Otsuka Ryunosuke. He is the adopted son, or son-in-law, of the Fifth Generation of Beichen. Although he has not yet married the Fifth Generation's daughter, he is already engaged and has changed his surname.

As soon as the Germanic man opened his mouth, the people who had been discussing the gossip enthusiastically just stopped talking. Their joking eyes flickered back and forth between Otsuka Ryunosuke and Daidaiji Shoji, and everyone showed unabashed expressions of watching the fun.

Facing the eyes of everyone, the tough guy Daoji Shoji who just refused to retreat and would rather be hacked than take a step back turned black. Fortunately, his face was not white, so he couldn't see it, but everyone could see his face. Embarrassing.

The battle for the successor of Beichen Yidao style

This has been the biggest fun in the kendo world in recent years. Some people who are not afraid of trouble will immediately speak to add fuel to the fire, but Jiujiu Zhenhong said:

"Of course, if Hojo-kun is just a person in name only, then why are you and I gathered here?"

He expressed his affirmation without hesitation, which made everyone speechless. After all, we can't directly say that everyone mainly wants to seek bad luck for Beichen Yida-ryu, right?

Someone who was relatively close to Jiujiu laughed and interrupted:

"If Hojo Kyosuke is really that powerful, Kujiu-sensei's Kyushu Gakuin High School will probably only be able to take second place this year, right?"

"Yes, I just don't know. Before my students lose to him, will I lose to him first? Let me see Hojo-kun's current strength for the students tonight."

On the other side, on an Alfa waiting for the traffic light, there were also people discussing what happened in Beichen Yidaoliu Dojo.

"...Nagase Ichiro is off first. Good guy, this man's character is as respectable as his swordsmanship. He didn't bully Daidoji with chariot fighting, but my senior brother is fighting a good guy!"

Naito Akashi looked at the messages on his phone and said with a playful smile, and teased his senior brother mercilessly:

"Ha, so what if I won three consecutive industrial kendo tournaments? I'm still no match for Daidoji. Iguchi Ryo? This kind of guy dares to jump out when Daidaiji's energy is exhausted. Well done, that's how it should be. , fell down hard, hit him hard on the face and gave him a severe concussion that made him unable to stand up."

"...Miyazaki Masaru? Damn it, you actually took advantage of someone's danger? The Osaka Prefectural Police have been completely embarrassed by this guy. No, I have to tell Aunt Nakajo in class immediately that her relatives are policemen in Osaka. Tomorrow, the entire Osaka Prefecture will know that their strongest swordsman is a despicable villain who takes advantage of others. This time, Daidoji will not be able to escape. The opponent's judo is better than his, and the two of them competed before. He never won. Alas, poor Daosi, I told you not to be a big brother. "

"...No, wait, wait! Ah! This is terrible, Hojo! Something bad has happened!"

Naito Akashi, who was thinking about it, shouted loudly, startling Hojo Kyosuke and Miyamizu Mitsuha who were whispering.

"what happened again?"

Hojo Kyosuke asked helplessly. From the moment he got in the car, this guy seemed to be taking revenge. He kept talking. At first, he would be the big man from the Beichen Ittoryu family who was present tonight. After introducing the dignitaries, he continued to talk. He called out the kendo masters who were present one by one, and introduced the opponent's special moves and habits in detail. He also enthusiastically recommended a video website to him and asked him to search for those people's competition videos to watch.

There seemed to have been changes in the dojo since just now. A big fight broke out before he started. He was originally interested in listening, but Naito's words were too many and too dense. The explanation was explained, but he just chose to explain it. He brought a lot of private goods with him, so Hojo Kyosuke was not willing to listen and chatted with Mitsuha instead. Just now, the two of them were discussing what kind of instructor they should find for Sanye's school. In a short time, he listed seventeen requirements.

The first is gender, it must be female. Secondly, age. If you are too old, don't let your skills decline and you will rely on your old age. If you are too young, don't be jealous of the youth and beauty of Sanye and other female college students and cause trouble. Then there is the kendo rank. Originally, Hojo Kyosuke wanted to find someone with at least seventh rank, but considering the special characteristics of female swordsmen, he lowered the requirement to fifth rank. And then comes my own job...

As for whether it is possible to find a suitable candidate with so many requirements? Hojo Kyosuke didn't think about this issue at all. After all, he was about to become the heir of Beichen Itto-ryu, one of the strongest dojos in Neon. They were all his own things, so there was no need to be polite. This was to give those disciples a chance to swear allegiance to him.

"Ninety-Nine True Red is here!"

Naito Akashi shouted, his face full of horror. The mountain villager Ono Peng next to him also screamed.

"Teacher Ninety-nine?"

Hojo Kyosuke raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was no stranger to this name. He was the instructor of the Kendo Club of Kyushu Academy.

When he was in the first grade of junior high school, in order to relieve his financial pressure, the good man Kyousuke Maki hired him as the instructor of the school's kendo club through connections, and he directly received two salaries, so that he had not yet embarked on the path of literature and creation at that time. He was very relieved. It was also thanks to this that he did not sink to the point of borrowing money at the elementary school gate.

Except for the first grade of junior high school, when he was eager to return to his hometown and did not accompany the high school club to participate in the national competition, in the second and third grade years, he accompanied the kendo club as an instructor in the competition, and naturally he also had an intersection with the Ninety-nine True Red teacher.

"Do you know him?" Naito Akashi was surprised.

"A mathematics teacher at Kyushu Academy High School, Neon's youngest eighth-dan swordsman, is there anything strange that I know him?" Hojo Kyosuke asked curiously.

"no……"

Naito's expression was very strange:

"I thought you would tell me who that person was, Hojo, and then after I finished explaining, I would say, 'It's just a chicken and a dog, nothing to worry about,' along with a look of contempt."

"...What image do I have in your eyes?" Someone said speechlessly, and Sanye next to him laughed out loud.

"He is an incomparable genius, a strong man who never takes other people seriously."

Naito said honestly, but in fact he hadn't finished speaking yet. If nothing else, just what happened at the award ceremony, Hojo Kyosuke is an arrogant genius.

Masako Tsuruta, a highly respected figure in the literary world, drags him down when he wants, and his methods are so brutal. The same goes for the two judges, who paid no attention to each other's qualifications and age, and showed no respect at all, as if they were lecturing the younger generation.

Yamamura Ono would make a fuss when seeing a weak person like this when he heard the name of Nine-nine Red, but as for Hojo Kyousuke...

"...Yes, you should have tilted your head, frowned and asked, 'Who is that? The cleaner? Please ask him to make the floor quieter before I come on, so that I will be in a better mood when I kill people.' Yes, Hojo, that’s what you are.”

Naito's words made everyone in the car laugh out loud, including the driver Toshitaka Hirata.

"No, no, no, Kyosuke wouldn't say that."

Mitsuha Miyamizu laughed for a while, then tried to look serious, and said playfully:

"If it were Kyousuke, he would just say, 'Hey, Kisaki, go take care of it. I'm going home soon and don't have time to cook.' Then Onizuka, Hata Goro and the others would rush out."

Upon hearing this, Yamamura Ono Shihan immediately nodded crazily:

"Oh~~~ I testify that when I was in Minato, Kyousuke never practiced any more and went home immediately at the end of the day. When other people wanted to ask him for advice, he just said, 'My mother and The neighbor is still at home waiting for me to cook, maybe next time, but there will never be a next time, no one can see him in the ashram during dinner time."

"Although you are a damn genius, you are such a good family man, you, Hojo."

Naito Akashi said with a smile.

"Yes, he is a good man."

Mitsuha Miyamizu smiled, a little dangerously.

The corners of Hojo Kyosuke's mouth twitched. Sure enough, even a person like him who has been wise since he opened his eyes would inevitably be found out about his childhood. He opened his mouth to explain that he was not that kind of person, so he just listened to what he said before. Hirata Shunlonghui reports:

"Chief Commander, Onibaku and Hatagoro have all arrived at the Okemachi Chiba Dojo, and the martial arts team that gathered to celebrate at the venue will soon arrive."

?

A question mark appeared on Naito Akashi's head.

"Hojo...if I heard correctly, you are mobilizing troops to go to my house?" (End of Chapter)
