At noon, Qian took a nap in the office, and Mu Mu went back to his residence to pick up the documents for the afternoon.

As soon as she stepped into the living room of the new house, Mu Mu heard the faint sound of wooden swords clashing from the direction of the garden on the second floor. She frowned, accelerated her figure, and climbed up to the second floor without a sound.

The sound of the sword was very fast, and she made a judgment in her heart, which was almost as fast as when she was fighting with Guangxiu.

The body is slightly tense, the left hand holds the sword at the waist, and the figure hides behind the door.

She poked her head out, and when her gaze fell into the center of the garden, she was slightly taken aback, but her body relaxed.

Obi and... Night Shadow?

At this time, Yeying looked indifferent, just like when he was fighting with Guangxiu, there was a faintly cold aura around him.

Her attack was fast, but left a clear trajectory, Obi relied on this kind of trajectory to barely keep up with the opponent's speed.

It's just... Mumu's eyes fell on the weapon in Obi's right hand with some doubts.

long sword?She has almost never seen Obi fight with someone with a sword, the only time it seems to be a competition with Qian.

Just as he was thinking, there was a muffled sound, and the long sword in Obi's hand was blown away by the night shadow, and fell to the ground while spinning, making several falling sounds.

Ye Ying took two steps back quickly, making the movement of withdrawing the sword, the expression in her eyes was still indifferent.

Obi frowned slightly as he looked at his hand holding the sword just now.

Not right.

he thought.

This is already the fourth time he has been blown away by the long sword by Ye Ying.

After getting used to Kunai, switching to this weapon made him feel extremely awkward, the strength of his hands couldn't match the movements, he almost felt like he was fighting with a wooden stick.

"What are you doing?"

Mumu came out suddenly, and the two looked over immediately.

Obi's expression immediately returned to his usual casualness, and he greeted her with a smile.

"Haha, just practice casually." He walked to the side of his sword that was knocked into the air, picked it up and casually tied a sword flower, "but the sword is a weapon that is really difficult to use."

Obi looked natural, and his movements were casual.

However, Mumu could feel the faint feeling of disappointment that came from casually.

Is he... Really want to learn sword?

Mumu stared at Obi's hand holding the sword, and suddenly said.

"If you want to practice swordsmanship, you should hone it a little bit from the first moves."

For Mumu's reminder, Obi was a little surprised.

He thought that his casual behavior would be treated as a joke by the other party, just like before.

"Well, but that method is not suitable for me, I'm still better at improving in actual combat."

Obi smiled and said, he has never done that kind of step-by-step orthodox training.

"You, you are not strong enough to hold the sword."

Mumu raised her head suddenly and looked into Obi's eyes, who was a little surprised by her sudden seriousness.

"Your movements are always thinking of changing the sword, or changing the posture of holding the sword."

"The sword is a part of the body and must not be loosened."

Obi was slightly taken aback.

— can’t let go —

can't let go...

Yep, that's his problem.

Already accustomed to throwing hidden weapons like kunai, he actually used a similar method to control the sword, holding the sword in a similar way to holding kunai.

False grip, dexterous use of knuckles to change the position of the weapon, ready to switch the posture of the front and back grips at any time...

These are behaviors that should only occur when using kunai.

[The sword is a part of the body and must not be loosened. 】

I am simply learning a weapon that is completely opposite to my original habits!

Obi looked down at the sword in his hand, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

He didn't even notice that Mumu had left.

Of course he knew how difficult it was to adapt to a completely different fighting style from scratch, and one mistake would even affect his original fighting ability.

... Could it be that my decision was wrong from the beginning?

"Obby."

Aside, Ye Ying suddenly came over.

Her eyes were no longer as cold as before, showing a little worry.

She didn't understand why Obi would suddenly be obsessed with using the sword, but, having two weapons like the sword and the silver needle at the same time, she discovered Obi's problem earlier than anyone else.

However, Obi is insisting, she is not willing to give up early like this.

So, is there another way...

"Obi, do you... want to try the dagger?"

Yeying's voice brought Obi back to his senses, and he looked over suspiciously.

Seeing this, Yeying drew a shape with both hands in front of him, and continued.

"The short sword is like a longer dagger."

"Obi's problem is that he will habitually change the way he holds the weapon during the battle; and when holding the sword to block head-on, he has a wrong grasp of the center of gravity of the long sword."

"Because the center of gravity of the long sword is far away from the hilt, the strength of the fingers is very high when parrying, which is much higher than that of Kunai, especially the little finger—this is the reason why Obi can't hold the sword. The short sword is different, Its length is only half that of a long sword, and its center of gravity is very close to Kunai, Obi should have no difficulty adapting to it."

"Moreover, a short sword is similar to a dagger, and it can also be held upside down. It is much more flexible to use than a long sword."

"Well, and..."

Ye Ying seriously stated what she thought of.

Obi wanted to use a sword as a weapon, and a dagger is also a kind of sword, so it shouldn't be too much beyond his expectations, right?

Compared with the long sword, she really felt that the short sword was more suitable for him, so that the abilities that Obi was good at would not disappear, and there was no need to adapt to a completely different fighting style.

Just... will it be accepted?She was a little hesitant, if Obi just wanted to practice the long sword, would it affect him if she said too much.

……

dagger?

Obi was stunned for a moment, of course he knew this kind of weapon, but he didn't want to have a sword on his waist too conspicuously for the convenience of activities, so he gave up early.

However, the situation is different now. As Qian's valet, he originally wanted to wear a sword.

His eyes lit up instantly, and he began to think seriously.

That's right, short swords are more suitable for him than long swords.The most important thing is that the short sword has the same blade width, thickness and weight as the long sword, and it will not lose the wind in a frontal confrontation——

——It can meet the needs of his protection goal.

This is it!

The golden cat's eyes suddenly brightened a lot. He looked at Ye Ying who was still thinking about his words, and the girl's expression was still focused.

His eyes warmed up, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a helpless arc.

This guy... let him say something.

He walked over until Yeying was in front of him, and then rubbed Yeying's head vigorously.

"Then use the dagger," Obi said with a big smile on his face, "Thanks~"

"Well, but it seems that this is the first time I've heard you talk so much."

Eh?Yeah?

Ye Ying was puzzled, as if she really didn't talk much, and Miss Bai Xue had mentioned this before.

but……

Obi accepted!

Ye Ying's eyes immediately became bright.

Obi, who was stared at by these eyes, couldn't help covering his face and turning his head again.

"...Don't be too foul..."

He murmured, his fingers covering his face felt slightly hot, and he immediately turned his head to an angle that Ye Ying could not see.

... What does foul mean?Ye Ying was dazed by Obi's strange behavior.

"You two," Mu Mu's voice sounded at the door at the right time, and she passed by again with a document in her hand, "The afternoon is almost here, don't forget to be on time."

Obi immediately diverted his attention without hesitation.

"Don't worry, we'll come after we return the wooden sword~" He smiled, "How about...Miss Mumu will also come with us?"

"Go by yourself." Mumu refused bluntly, expressing her disgust calmly.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, anyway." Obi continued to laugh.

"Wooden sword, where did it come from?" Mu Mu turned his head to look at him calmly.

"..."

"Come from the training ground?"

"...I was wrong, I will return the sword now."
