Life in Tokyo starting as a child star

"The jail mode is over."

Waking up from the practice mode.

Bei Chengshi patted his head and came back to his senses.

This time, he spent a total of 4978 hours in the practice mode.

Converted to time is 207 days.

To be honest, although Bei Chengshi said that he was in jail.

But in fact, this time is not too long.

Different from the previous acting practice.

The learning standards of swordsmanship, which is more inclined to fighting skills, are much more stringent.

Logically speaking, it is unlikely to make a name for this kind of swordsmanship without one or two years.

But it may be because of the life experience of the "Bei Cheng Sword Saint", plus Bei Chengshi's own superior learning ability.

So in reality, Bei Chengshi's learning progress this time is faster than the previous acting practice.

Many techniques are directly remembered in the mind, and he only needs to apply them to the body proficiently.

Even so.

This time, the time spent on kendo practice is also longer than the previous acting practice.

I can only say that practicing martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Kitasumi shook his head.

"So, since the training has been completed."

Next, we need a place to check the results of the practice.

It is definitely not possible at home.

The place is too small to be used.

And Kitasumi's family does not have wooden swords or bamboo swords for kendo practice.

Then we can only go outside.

Kitasumi remembered that there was a children's park not far from her apartment. The place was quite spacious and suitable for practice.

Then the next thing was the wooden swords and bamboo swords.

And when she thought of these.

Kitasumi thought of Kitagawa Ruiko.

The other party was her only elementary school friend in the Nerima Metropolitan Elementary School.

She also mentioned to Kitasumi that her family had a kendo practice field.

Then there should be a lot of bamboo swords and wooden swords for children to practice?

If I ask her, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But how can I say it? He has been busy with the acting of "Kidnapped Natsuko" recently - Hosokawa Shibaizumi comes to feed him food from time to time, Shimada Makoto often comes to ask for advice, and he also has to deal with the main role of Natsuko.

He is so focused that he has naturally neglected Kitagawa Ruiko these days.

In my memory, Kitagawa Ruiko talked to him happily several times.

He always rubbed her head and watched her walk back to the desk with a bit of disappointment, while he lay on the desk to rest.

Uh.

Thinking of this.

Kitasumi Shi felt a little embarrassed.

I hope Kitagawa Ruiko won't be angry with me.

He picked up his mobile phone and found Kitagawa Ruiko's name in the address book.

Accompanied by a two-second silence.

Kitagawa Ruiko's voice of surprise sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Shi-chan?! It's Shi-chan! What's the matter with Shi-chan calling me?"

The surprise in the other party's childish voice made Kitasumi Shi stunned for a moment.

He couldn't help but say: "Retori. Aren't you angry?"

"Hmm? Angry? Why should I be angry?"

"Ah, um. Look, I've been very busy lately, haven't I?"

Coughing twice, Kitasumi hinted.

"Hey?"

Kitagawa Retori understood the meaning of Kitasumi's words.

She tilted her head, and then spoke seriously:

"If it was someone else, I might be angry, but--"

The childish voice changed.

"If it was Shi-chan, I would understand. Because Shi-chan is mature and handsome, he must have his own things to do! Shi-chan and I will be good friends for life! So what does Shi-chan want to talk to me about?"

"." Kitasumi.

Feeling his tall and majestic image in Kitagawa Retori's eyes, especially the phrase 'friends for life', he felt pressured for no reason.

This. Although Kitagawa Retori is young, why does she feel heavy when she expresses her love?

He shook his head and told Kitagawa Retori that he needed some kendo practice equipment.

"Well! Wait for me! I'll be there soon! Shi-chan!"

I didn't even ask Kitasumi Shi what she needed the kendo equipment for.

I just found out the place.

Kitagawa Ruiko on the other end of the phone hung up the phone.

"I'll go too."

Although Kitagawa Ruiko might need some time to prepare.

But I couldn't let a girl wait for me.

Kitasumi Shi got up from the bed, washed up simply, and went downstairs to the children's park.

He was very fast.

He didn't waste any time at all.

For lunch, he just bought two rice balls and walked to the children's park while eating.

But even so, Kitasumi Shi still found that he was late.

"Ririko. You."

Looking at Kitagawa Ruiko who was panting in front of him and didn't even change her kendo uniform.

"You don't have to carry so many equipment, right?"

Kitasumi Shi couldn't help but take a look at the big and small bags she carried.

In addition to bamboo swords for elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college, there were also small sandbags and hand guards.

This weight is tiring just looking at it, not to mention that she carried it all the way here.

"No, it's okay. Since Shi-chan didn't tell me what I needed, I just brought all the equipment I had at home."

Kitagawa Ruiko panted, looking up at Kitasumi Minoru with her little face.

"." Kitasumi Minoru.

Because I didn't tell you, so you brought everything here?

Kitasumi Minoru wanted to say that according to common sense, there was no need to bring so many things.

But looking at Kitagawa Ruiko's face with tiny beads of sweat, half-upward and showing a cute smile to him.

He still sighed and reached out to touch her head.

"Thank you, Ruiko."

"Yeah!"

Feeling the palm of the hand caressing her head, Kitagawa Ruiko laughed.

Then she happily introduced various tools to Kitasumi Minoru.

For example, sandbags are mainly tied to the wrists and ankles for strength training, and hand guards are used to protect the palms to prevent the palms from rubbing too much when swinging the knife and swelling.

In short, each has its own function.

But Kitasumi Minoru didn't care too much.

He just picked a junior high school size bamboo sword and nodded with satisfaction.

The 109cm size for elementary school students was a bit too short for him, and the junior high school size was just right.

Kita Sumire was very satisfied, and while helping Kitagawa Ruiko to pack up, he said:

"Ririko, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

"Hmm? Something else?"

Kitagawa Ruiko looked over curiously.

"I remember Ruiko's family runs a kendo training ground, so Ruiko should have learned kendo, right?"

"Yes, I have learned it, I often watch my father, brother and some guests practice."

Kitagawa Ruiko nodded.

Because her family runs a kendo training ground.

So when she finishes her homework and has nothing to do, she often goes to watch her father practice with some guests.

Even their family made room for some kendo masters to demonstrate kendo to media reporters.

"Oh?"

This is a pleasant surprise.

Kita Sumire became alert: "Then Leiko, can you help me check if there is anything wrong with my movements?"

Although he had been studying ancient swordsmanship in the practice space for more than 200 days without sleep.

But he himself had basically no impression of modern kendo.

It just so happened that Kitagawa Leiko could give him some reference for his current kendo level.

"Sure."

Kitagawa Leiko nodded, but she looked at Kita Sumire with a strange look.

Because she had never heard that Kita Sumire had practiced kendo.

After all, kendo is something that even a genius needs time to accumulate, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

She has seen some junior high school or high school students who are led by their parents to get in touch with kendo at home.

These people who have just come into contact with kendo.

Either they hold the bamboo sword and chop around like they have got some 'Kikumonji sword'.

Or they can't even hold the bamboo sword steadily, and they shake when they swing the sword in the air, which looks simply unbearable.

There are even some more extreme ones who, in turn, were hit on the toes by the bamboo sword in their own hands, and fell to the ground, holding their feet and started crying.

Although Shi-chan should not be like this

But

Yeah!

Kitagawa Ruiko made up her mind.

No matter what Kita Sumire's kendo looks like in the end, even if it is unbearable to look at, she must say it looks good!

Because even if Shi-chan really cries.

It must be very beautiful.

She raised her head and began to observe Kita Sumire's movements.

Then

She couldn't look away.

Upward.

Diagonal.

Collapse.

Kita Sumire's movements are very simple.

But in this simple movement, it is clean and neat, revealing an indescribable sense of power, without any procrastination or redundancy.

This kind of kendo is completely different from the competitive kendo that Kitagawa Ruiko usually contacts, which pursues the beauty of "style".

Kita Sumire's movements are purely for the pursuit of the ultimate violent beauty.

And these are just superficial things.

The most important thing is the moment when Kita Sumire holds the bamboo sword.

The whole person seemed to have undergone an indescribable change.

The innocence and childishness slowly faded from him.

It was like a swordsman who had found his own weapon.

A cold and sharp aura rose up like a sword.

There was no complicated etiquette of modern competitive kendo.

Only the coldness of fighting with swords.

And these were all things that Kitagawa Ruiko had never touched before.

She only felt that Kita Sumire's kendo had an indescribable sense of crispness.

It was as if.

Those famous kendo masters who had held press conferences at her house did not have the clean movements of Kita Sumire, and did not give people the same sharp feeling as him.

Is Shi-chan so powerful?

Kitagawa Ruiko was stunned for a moment.

Originally, she wanted to protect Kita Sumire, and even prepared things like Band-Aids for fear that he would get hurt.

But now.

She shook her head.

All the worries in her heart before disappeared without a trace.

Only the admiration and worship for Kita Sumire that was even better than before remained.

"Shi-chan! So cool! Better than my dad and brother!"

Seeing Kitasumi Shi finished, Kitagawa Ruiko trotted over and spoke with admiration.

"Better than your dad and brother... er, how about the posture and movements?"

Kitasumi Shi didn't know what Kitagawa Ruiko's father and brother were like.

But Beicheng Sword Master's swordsmanship is all about killing techniques, including teasing, picking peaches with free hands, double wind piercing the ears, and piercing the toes. The main purpose is to make people lose their ability to fight back when they meet.

What if he faced off against Leizi’s father and brother?

Well…

“The action is great too!”

Kitagawa Ruiko spoke again.

Although I can't tell which school Kitumi Minoru belongs to, her movements are really particular and have a crisp and neat feel.

"Is it just pretty?"

Kitaki Minoru was not satisfied.

After all, for this audition for "Swordsman Den", he spent more than two hundred days in jail under the evil system.

If you just pursue a beautiful body, you can achieve it in a month in reality, so why squat for more than 200 days?

"Oh um. How can I say that Minoru-chan's movements are very clean."

After thinking carefully, Kitagawa Ruiko gave her own evaluation.

"Very clean?"

Putting down the bamboo knife, Kitaki didn't quite understand this comment.

"Just, it's that kind of clean that looks good! In short, it's indeed Minoru-chan!"

There are a few adjectives for children.

Kitagawa Ruiko couldn't describe it accurately. It took her a long time to say such a sentence.

But she knew it.

For Beicheng to be able to practice so well, he must have worked hard secretly behind her back.

It’s really true!

Such perseverance!

Thinking of this, the longing in her big black eyes became even stronger.

"Yeah?"

Although I don’t quite understand what Kitagawa Ruiko wants to express.

But the longing in the eyes of a child is the most convincing thing.

Kitaki Minoru nodded.

It seems that the results of his spending a lot of time in prison and studying should not be a big problem.

However, considering that Kitagawa Ruiko may have a 'filter'-like effect on herself.

Later, you should practice in front of the mirror at the training center and see the specific situation.

There is also the character design of Aoki Kenichi, which also needs some time to think about.

Kitami Minoru has always been a person who likes to have everything planned out.

After succinctly laying out what to do next.

He stretched comfortably.

So--

The next step is to improve myself while waiting for the audition for "Swordsman Den" at the end of the month.

Thanks to the Sage of Time, Recharge Every Day, and Wawa for the reward! Thank you so much!
