Sword Raiders II

At four o'clock in the morning, Genichiro Sanada had already opened his eyes and woke up.

He has maintained such a routine since he was a child. When he was in school, he would do morning classes with his grandfather at the dojo at home at four o'clock every day. This habit has not changed until now.

Originally thought that the content of this trip to the sea for morning exercises would change, but I didn't expect that my sister's yacht also built a small dojo for sword practice, and Sanada naturally had no reason to miss it.

Holding his sword bag and buttoning the peaked cap on his head, the tall boy with wheat complexion walked down the stairs following the memory of yesterday's visit, and soon arrived at the negative floor in the belly of the ship. Only here can the space be large and comfortable. An empty indoor dojo.

Sanada thought he had come early enough, but when he stepped into the dojo, he found that someone had come earlier than him.

"Oh, Master Genichiro?"

A man with a black one-eyed patch on his face stood in the center of the dojo with a long knife in his hand. He seemed to have just finished a round of practice. There were obvious traces of sweat on his face and body, and even his bangs and temples were wet, but The eyebrows and eyes that greeted the door with a smile did not look embarrassed at all, even because of the straight posture holding the knife, there was an indescribable elegance and heroism.

The other party didn't seem to notice the boy's surprise, and when his warm orange pupils glanced at the sword bag in his hand, a smile burst into his face.

"Do you get up so early to exercise? You don't forget to keep up your morning exercises when you come out to play. You are quite self-disciplined and hardworking. I heard from my lord that Master Genichiro's kendo seems to be learned from his family."

"Yes, my grandfather is a kendo instructor. I have been practicing kendo with my grandfather since I was 4 years old!" Sanada answered subconsciously, but his face could not help but be puzzled, "Mr. Candlestick Kiri, are you also practicing kendo? Or ... Gu Jianliu?"

The abolition of swords has been implemented for more than 100 years in modern times, and kendo has long been reduced to one of the very small sports cultures. Even if people in the world still practice, they mostly use wooden or bamboo knives, even if they are replaced by iron products. Even with Juhe Dao without a sharp edge, the competition is also comparable to the skill of drawing swords.

However, Sanada, who has been practicing kendo for a long time, knows very well that in the kendo field where bamboo swords are the mainstream, there are still a handful of smaller people-they only practice the ancient sword style with real swords as the mainstay, and they are not learning swordsmanship for competitions, but It is a truly practical and practical way of swordsmanship that can be used against people.

Before the Meiji Restoration, these were real killing techniques, and they were the hard-core indicators for the samurai to compete for power.

Involuntarily, Sanada remembered the incident when her elder sister visited his house a few years ago, and what she showed her grandfather was Gu Jianliu at that time.Could it be that this butler...?

"Ah..." Sensing the young man's speculation, Candlestick Cut looked down at the knife in his hand, and smiled, "Although I am currently on board the ship, I am mainly responsible for the internal affairs of the lord, but I have not forgotten my main duty." While talking, he shook the hand holding the Taidao with a very handsome sword gesture, "Let me introduce myself again, I am Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, one of Hoshimiya Yuri's subordinates. In addition to the master's food and daily life, he is also responsible for guarding her safety."

When the man withdrew his smile and solemnly introduced his handsome face to others, the aura released from his body shocked Sanada.

He obviously thought he was a handsome and elegant butler when he met yesterday, but Genichiro Sanada suddenly had the illusion that "this man was born for a sword" when he was standing with a knife in his hand. Straightened his back.

This is a very powerful swordsman!

Sanada, who has a national level in kendo, immediately made a judgment in his heart, and based on the aura released by the opponent before, although it was fleeting, it was enough for Sanada to judge many things.

Perhaps even grandfather would not be a match for the man in front of him.

It's not that the grandfather, the kendo instructor, is not strong enough, but that the opponent is Gu Jianliu, and the killing sword and the competition sword are fighting, and the outcome is clear at a glance.

And this powerful swordsman is the guardian of the elder sister, protecting her safety with his murderous sword.

Just when Sanada tensed his nerves, the housekeeper opposite smiled again, and changed into the gentle and polite look he saw yesterday: "I'm sorry, it's rare to see a young man who practices kendo, accidentally talking too much One point. How about it, Master Genichiro, are you interested in showing me two tricks?"

Sanada's eyes flashed light instantly, he stood up straight, bowed his head to the candlestick very seriously: "Please!"

In fact, he really wanted to try, how much difference did his kendo have compared to Gu Jianliu.

So for a whole hour after that, the sound of jingle strikes in the dojo was endless.

And an hour later, Sanada, who has been doing muscle exercises and is extremely confident in his physical fitness, is now spread out in a large font on the wooden floor of the dojo, gasping for breath, as if he was fished out of the water.

But on the opposite side of him, the butler, who had also played against him for half an hour, was a little sweaty and panting, but he was much more comfortable.

This physical fitness is simply a monster. Even if he participated in U17 last year, he has never seen a player who can be so leisurely under such intense high-speed sports for an hour, let alone that the opponent is still trying to give him advice during this period. He is good at swordsmanship.

The gap is too big, the bodyguard that my lord sister found is completely inhuman!

Suddenly there was a burst of applause at the entrance of the dojo, and Sanada turned his head subconsciously, and saw Yukimura and Fujiwara applauding him vigorously.

"It's wonderful, Sanada!" Yukimura Seiichi was the first to speak, "It's quite an exciting attack, and I was nervous and excited the whole time watching it."

Fujiwara Shingo next to him was more blunt: "You are really good. You can fight with the old lady's bodyguard for so long before you fall down. I am convinced!" Know the strength of these bodyguards first.

Sanada couldn't help being silent for a moment. After giving up on saving his image, he just lay down and asked, "When did you guys come?"

"Half an hour ago." Yukimura said with a smile, "I guessed that half an hour after your morning class, you were planning to have breakfast with you, and then practice tennis with you. I didn't expect to see such a wonderful match. .Mr. Candlestick Che really hides things deeply, at first I really thought you were a housekeeper." In the end, he had already switched communication partners.

"Breakfast, Sozo should be ready." When handing a clean hot towel and water to Genichiro Sanada who was lying down, Candekiri did not forget to answer Yukimura Seichi's words, and entered the role of housekeeper in a second, "Dojo There is also a temporary bathing room and exercise clothes for changing, Master Genichiro can wash up here before going to have dinner with the other two masters."

The teenagers have no objection to this.

"Did sister say what time to wake up?" Brother Xinwu began to pay attention to his elder sister's work and rest, "It's rare to go to sea to play, she doesn't plan to sleep until noon on the boat, right?" She didn't know this when she was in the villa in Tokyo I haven't done it, but I've done it many times.

Candlestick Che, who had been smiling all the time, paused for a while, but quickly returned to normal: "My lord, today may be a little late. She had an impromptu meeting in the middle of the night last night and was delayed for some time, so she didn't go to bed very late. , I also ask the young masters not to disturb you."

"Busy again? She's still so busy even after she's come out to play!" Fujiwara Shingo exclaimed first, then compromised like a deflated ball, "Okay, I should understand. She is so free to play with us now It's already very good..." Thinking of the father at home who was busy with the company and couldn't see anyone, the boy couldn't say anything.

Coupled with what happened to Rumiko's mother before, and the turmoil that has been buzzing in the news, he actually understands why his sister is so busy and why he has to be so busy.

The time we can spend together like this will probably become less and less in the future.

Shingo Fujiwara didn't think about it that much, Genichiro Sanada, who was paralyzed on the ground, was concentrating on recovering his strength, and only Yukimura Seiichi caught the slight change in the butler's expression.

It seems that what happened to my cousin last night was quite tricky, and I don't know if I have found a solution.

But Yukimura knew better that it was not something he, a student underage, could ask or even help, so he just blinked his eyes and pretended not to notice.

After waiting in the dojo for less than 10 minutes, the two of them walked towards the restaurant together with Sanada who had finished washing.At this time, the housekeeper was no longer around. Perhaps because it was too early, the three of them walked side by side in the corridor, but they were all silent.

"Sanada, you haven't said a word since you left the dojo, are you still thinking about your cousin's bodyguards?" Yukimura was the first to break the silence.

Sanada, who had been bowing his head in deep thought, came back to his senses, and then nodded without any concealment: "Ah, I'm thinking about this."

My sister’s bodyguards, it is said that they brought three of them this time because they boarded the ship and went out to sea. The names of the three are all the names of ancient swords. Needless to say, the strength of the housekeeper Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, he has personally experienced the other party’s powerful skills; One Yakiri Hasebe was in charge of coordinating the security system of the entire ship, so he rarely met with them, but only from his aura when we first met him and the attitude of the Candlestick Kirito butler towards him, Sanada knew that the other party's strength was not at all. Not inferior; only the last Zongsanzuo character...

Slender figure, slender eyebrows and eyes, and a melancholy temperament that is soft and has no strength...

Intellectually, Sanada is very clear that this person's strength will not be low, but his temperament and appearance make it difficult to imagine that this is a master, especially when compared with the previous two, the feeling of fragility more prominent.

like now...

A pair of pale and slender hands put the breakfast in the tray on the dining table one by one. The movements were swift and elegant, and soon the three teenagers' breakfasts were neatly served in front of everyone.

The owner of the hand hugged the tray in front of his body, nodded and smiled at them with a pair of golden and silver monster eyes: "According to the master's instructions, today's breakfast is Chinese breakfast, three young masters, please take it slowly."

"Thank you, Mr. Sozo." Yukimura Seiichi smiled and thanked, and the other two followed immediately.

The pink-haired youth didn't stay any longer, and left the restaurant quickly. The teenagers watched the man's slender back disappear by the door, all with subtle expressions.

"Sometimes I really want my sister to learn from others." Reaching out to pick up a deep-fried dough stick, Fujiwara Shingo had a complicated face, "If she had this half of graceful temperament, my mother wouldn't have been worrying about her being unable to get married. "

Yukimura couldn't hold back his grin, but Sanada gave Fujiwara a sideways look, and said directly, "I think it's more likely that you will be caught and beaten."

"So it's just thinking about it." In fact, the younger brother who was afraid of being beaten didn't hide his cowardice, and replied directly, but it seemed that he suddenly became depressed because of something, "It's better to say, in fact, she has always been so strong. It's good to go down..."

Rumiko's mother was kidnapped, none of the men in the Fujiwara family were useful, and it was her sister who brought her back safely in the end.

The height she was standing at was no longer within the reach of the Fujiwara family, and they did not even have the ability to detect the dangers involved, let alone provide protection.

After this battle, his mother always hoped that his sister would have a family and not be alone forever. He didn’t know if his wish had changed, but he knew that he no longer had this kind of thought, even if he had faintly wanted to match his elder sister and Akashi in his heart before. The idea of ​​being a senior is now completely dismissed.

Akashi senior is very good and powerful. While going to university, he followed the chairman's father to manage the industry under the name of the Akashi family. He will be the next boss of the chaebol in the future.Being a pampered and cared-for chairman's wife is more comfortable than being the only female kitchen god in the history of Dongying Kingdom and competing with so many forces for it, right?At that time, he really thought so.

But seeing my sister broke into the old lair of the gang alone and brought her mother back, and not long after, she gave all the participants the most painful revenge. Only then did I realize how insulting my thought was.

Not all women like to rely on men to survive. Without men, they can’t do anything. Even if the national conditions have always been said and preached since ancient times, there will still be women who are stronger than men, and their names will always be preserved in history books. spread.

His sister was such a person.

There will definitely be her name in the history books in the future.

"Cousin is really amazing." Yukimura echoed with a faint smile, "So this is the fundamental reason why you didn't have much reaction when you found out that your cousin was surrounded by male bodyguards?"

Think about it carefully, the bodyguards brought by my cousin, from those who appeared on the TV media to the ones they have seen with their own eyes today, none of them are ordinary-looking, but they are all powerful and handsome men with outstanding looks. No one around me believed it.

But what does it matter?

Cousin likes it.

It's normal for the strong at the top to be actively followed and attached to, just like those excellent chefs in the Xinggong Restaurant, Mu Qiang's essence has never had anything to do with gender.

Not to mention Yukimura Seiichi, who has always been called the "son of God", Sanada Genichiro, who has always been respected by the members, has a deep understanding of this point.

So even Sanada, who is the most serious among the three, didn't say anything about it. Instead, he looked at Fujiwara Shingo with a little surprise, as if to say that it doesn't matter if there are more male subordinates?

Shingo rolled his eyes at him directly, his big reaction was never because of himself, but Rumiko's mother at home, okay, if the mother really knows about the old sister's tricks, then it will be called a big reaction.

#Wait, I suddenly discovered the reason why my sister never brought a bodyguard when she went out#

The three teenagers chatted and ate, and quickly finished their breakfast. It was still early before six o'clock.By the time Natsume, the cousin, woke up and was having breakfast in the dining room with the fat cat, the group of sports boys had already finished their ball practice, and they all went to the deck to engage in new games with the crew and sailors.

Because of Sister Yuli's accident last night, Natsume slept a little late. Obviously, the dragon palace turtle finally gave her a box of jewelry, but the person holding the things had a sad expression on his face.Natsume wanted to care about him, but he was afraid that he would be troublesome, so he hesitated before falling asleep.

"Natsume, listen to the noise outside. They are casting nets for fishing!" Since Natsume was the only one in the dining room, Teacher Cat boldly said, "Those three brats followed the sailors and pulled the nets very diligently. I heard When they said they caught a big salmon, let Xinggong do sashimi at noon!"

"... Oh." Xia Mu absent-mindedly replied.

Hearing his perfunctory, Fat Sanhua, whose heart was already flying outside to help get a few more big fish for lunch, was dissatisfied: "Natsume, are you listening? Really, it's obviously better than those brats outside." He's only two years older, but he's as unresponsive as an old man, and if he doesn't get enough sleep every day, a young man has no energy."

Natsume immediately lowered his head and stared at it: "Why do you think I became like this!"

Who wouldn't want to work and rest normally every day if he could, but his physique and his grandmother's friend account didn't give him this opportunity at all. It's not easy for him to keep his energy and barely finish his studies every day while dealing with all kinds of demons and gods!How about being mocked by it for lack of energy and poor grades?

Received Natsume's resentment, Fat Cat's bodyguard curled his lips in disapproval: "What's wrong with this trivial matter? Look at how powerful Xinggong is now..."

"I'm so sorry, sister Yu Li's grades in high school were similar to mine."

One person and one cat bickered with each other in low voices, but there was a greeting from their companions at the door.

"Brother Natsume, have you finished eating? Come here quickly after eating, the captain told us that we will soon arrive at the best sea fishing spot, and the fishing rods are all ready, and you are the only one left!"

When the time showed around ten o'clock in the morning, Yu Li, who finally got enough sleep and went downstairs, naturally saw the scene of his younger brothers lined up under the umbrellas and earnestly fishing.

"Oh, has it already started?" Only then did she remember the promise she made to them yesterday, to cook for them as soon as she caught the ingredients.

"It's started." Seiichi Yukimura, who was closest to her, replied with a smile, "Cousin, have you rested? We have already opened."

Following his words, Yu Li glanced at the fish tube next to the boy's legs, and there was a mackerel less than five inches swimming in it, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's good, I'm waiting for your good harvest, I can have a good meal .”

"Don't laugh." Yukimura didn't intend to let his cousin just laugh at him, "Sanada is also very lucky, and finally caught a crab after sitting still for so long. Maybe we can have a fish and crab stew at noon?"

"Yukimura, at least I still have something to gain." Sanada would never allow himself to go into the water at this time, and the habit of often hurting each other in the chat group made him subconsciously drag the other one in, "It's better than Fujiwara's empty bucket anyway."

Sure enough, the one who was named over there was bombed at one o'clock: "You two guys! Stop looking down on people!"

Natsume, the only one among the four who was not affected, could only smile wryly at this moment, and hid the bucket with three fish in it under the chair, which made Yuli, who hadn't missed it, smile even more happily.

Not far away, Zongsan, who was hiding from the sun and standing in the shade, was also watching this scene with a smile.

It's a pity that they can't go to the Dragon Palace, and it made the owner worry all night, but if they can have this kind of atmosphere when they go to sea, it doesn't matter where they are.

On the other side of the boat, the boy Xinwu was in a panic. He was the only one among the four who hadn't moved, let alone a fish without even a shrimp. Can you be in a hurry?He was still thinking that he must surpass those two Kanagawa people, how can he do it now that he is being slapped in the face!

Perhaps because of his strong inner voice, luck finally came. The young man felt the weight of the pole in his hand, and he immediately cheered up and focused on the fishing line in his hand.

"Here it comes! It's quite heavy! This must be a big fish!"

"Come up, come up! Sis, I caught it!"

Wrestling with the prey on the hook, the young man was lucky enough to win. He pulled the rod suddenly, and a big ball of seafood cast a shadow along the sunlight. Other people who had been attracted by his movement all the time when they saw what it was. His face was stunned.

A giant octopus the size of a football!

You don't need to weigh it, just by looking at its size, you can tell that this octopus has already beaten the other three. The young man was so proud that he brought the octopus to the front and held it up to show off towards Yuli.

"Sister, look! I caught it!"

Seeing the silly boy's actions, Yu Li immediately changed his face: "Idiot! Don't let it get so close to your face!"

Almost before she finished speaking, the struggling big octopus suddenly turned its tentacles, stretched its tentacles towards the boy's head, and some of them even burrowed directly towards his nostrils and grinning mouth.

Octopus pots mean that octopuses like to drill into jars. They like dark and narrow spaces. When they are suddenly pulled out of the sea and frightened, they instinctively want to find something to hide in, and they will not let go.Such a big octopus is more than enough to wrap a human head.

It was a little late for Yu Li to remind, at least this distance, she would definitely not be able to catch up if she walked over without revealing her strength. Just when she started Shunbu regardless of her intentions, there was a rosy figure who did it one step ahead of her.

When Fujiwara Shingo received the warning and realized the danger and wanted to react, it was too late. He could only watch those octopus whiskers attacking his front. Just when he thought that he was about to die, a fine white patch appeared in front of his eyes. mango.

He didn't see what the white glow was, but felt that the surroundings were too quiet, and the heavy octopus in his hand suddenly became lighter. He was just wondering what was going on, and the next second he saw the octopus in front of him suddenly turned into pieces. It slammed on his feet and the deck.

This is... chopped up?

Looking at the broken pieces on the ground, such a message flashed through his bewildered mind, and then subconsciously looked sideways.

A few steps away, it was the movement of the pink-haired youth who had just retreated meanly to retract the knife.Well, that's a fruit knife. They were making fresh-cut fruit for them just now.

Xinwu stared blankly at the movement of others cleaning the knives, his demeanor was still so melancholy, his brows and eyes were still so slender, and his whole person still looked so weak and not masculine at all, but the word "big brother" could not be understood from him no matter what. Take it off your body.

Sure enough, those who could be selected by his sister to be bodyguards are all masters with two brushes!

When the stupid brother was still shouting 666 in his heart, the angry punishment from his sister was not absent even though he was a step behind, and soon beat him back to his senses, screaming that he would definitely have a long memory.

At this moment, the whole yacht shook abruptly, the motion was not too big but it still made everyone on board look out.

Yu Li, who was concentrating on scolding her younger brother, only then noticed that a small cruise ship was getting closer and closer to her yacht, so close that she gradually saw the faces of the passengers on the railing of the cruise ship deck.

"Sister Xinggong—!" One of the passengers leaning on the railing was waving at her enthusiastically, his face was full of excitement, "Sister Xinggong, are you going out to play too?"

Yu Li was also taken aback when he saw the person: "Guangzi?"

It was a young professional chess player she met in the early years, Hikari Shinto.

Unlike Yu Li, who pays more attention to privacy, the small cruise ship slowly approaching in front of him is obviously for public entertainment.

The volume of the cabin is not half the size, and most of the hull is used as an open space.

Large swimming pool, water park, beach umbrellas, above are all available.Shindo Hikaru, who waved vigorously at her, is now dressed in a suit of beach swimming trunks and a digital shirt. The bright smile of the young man in the sun cannot be more dazzling.

Then again, this kid really likes clothes with a five-character pattern, and the gold-dyed bangs are also the same, and it is his signature feature that can be recognized at a glance from a long distance.

Such a large ship approached suddenly, how could there be no response from the yacht side, Yu Li just wanted to ask Guangzai what was going on from the air, but Hasebe suddenly appeared beside her at some point.

"My lord, I have figured it out. This is a cruise ship under the Guantian Master Group, but it has actually been transferred to his sister, Mrs. Kyoko."

"Master Guan Tian's younger sister?" Yu Li couldn't help being taken aback.Yi Hua

There are currently five master chefs in Dongying Kingdom... oh, four, a certain sashimi god has retired for some reason.Among the remaining four masters, the only one who has followed the same path as the founder of Yuanyue Group is Sekita Zongwei, who has the title of "Food Group Creator".

In addition to not opening a culinary school and having less influence, this person owns a lot more gourmet companies, hotel chains, resorts, and even overseas food research institutions than Yuanyue Group.

Now that the master's sister was suddenly approaching her yacht with a group of guests on board, Yu Li couldn't help wondering what the other party wanted to do.
