Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

Somewhat surprised by Zheng Chenggong's efficiency, he managed to gather such intelligence in less than half a day.

"Well, we did experience a minor skirmish, but there was no danger, so we returned safely."

How's things going on your end?

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xue remained silent for a moment before pondering.

"actually."

She could distinguish between what needed to be explained and what needed to be concealed.

"Is Yoshiwara Miyamoto Musashi and Takao Tayu?"

"What an amazing combination!"

"But if you accept such a duel agreement and lose, it's the same as being eliminated."

"While I also believe that trusting one's servant is not a bad thing, this is a bit too bold."

Realizing that Zheng Xue might be hiding something, Zheng Chenggong did not immediately press for details.

In his view, if conditions permit, it would be best to form a pincer movement with two riders, as this is the simplest way to fight.

Although it will take some time to get to Yoshiwara quickly, arriving before the agreed time is not a problem.

But Zhengxue did not agree, which proves that she has an important secret she doesn't want him to know.

Despite being allies and seemingly supporting each other, they harbor a deep-seated wariness behind the scenes.

Zheng Chenggong understood this as well.

After all, he himself concealed the fact that he had taken the Dragon Balls from Dorothea.

It's understandable that Zhengxue wanted to keep those unknown things a secret.

"Fine, then I'll just have to wait for your good news."

Zheng Chenggong wasn't in a hurry to head there.

He shouldn't show himself now; given Dorothea's situation, she's certainly already sending people everywhere to look for him.

After losing contact, Zhengxue didn't care about his situation.

Instead, he stared blankly at the gradually darkening sky.

……

"A challenge?"

Moonlight spilled across the ground, and the streets of Yoshiwara were bustling with activity.

Despite the shouts from the crowd, the room where Iori was located remained remarkably quiet.

After rushing back earlier, he was quite anxious when he learned that Masayuki Yui had been spotted in Yoshiwara.

They were actually relieved to learn that their duel had been interrupted.

He knew perfectly well why this was the case.

I absolutely don't want to let this go again.

The room, lit by candles, felt rather cold and eerie.

“Saber”

Taking a deep breath, Iori stood up and called out.

Kenshin, leaning against the wall, already knew his choice.

"I just couldn't let it go."

Iori spoke those words with great seriousness.

"I thought there would be no more chances, but..."

As he stepped out of the room, he placed his hand on the hilt of his knife and began to speak.

"This time, we can't miss it again."

The figure disappeared into the darkness, and Kenshin could only sigh and follow.

The two then arrived at the pavilion where Musashi was located.

"Oh? Iori, do you want to come along?"

Musashi seemed quite happy to see his apprentice appear.

The time she had agreed to meet Kojiro was approaching, and she should prepare to leave.

However, compared to Musashi's cheerfulness, Takao Tayu, sitting to the side, sensed that something was amiss.

If I had met Iori in the past, I would have thought he was very honest and reserved.

But now he is a ronin with a sharp edge and a cold demeanor.

And the words spoken proved that restless heart.

"No, Master."

"I will challenge you here!"

challenge

At this critical juncture.

"Master, didn't you say that yourself?"

"Anytime is fine."

Faced with Iori's question, Musashi scratched his head, somewhat helplessly.

That was the promise made at the time, but being "used" at this moment is actually a bit embarrassing.

It was less than half an hour before the time agreed upon with Kojiro.

I do have some free time.

"Okay, I accept."

"Wait, Musashi!"

Compared to Musashi's frank statement, Takao Tayu frowned and seemed reluctant to agree.

What if I get injured in a match with my apprentice?

Wouldn't it be disadvantageous to fight Kojiro afterward?

If you are not in a healthy state when facing an opponent of equal skill level, you may be defeated due to a moment of carelessness.

"Okay, Taifu."

"It is one of the important duties of a master to fulfill the rare invitation from his apprentice."

With a chuckle, Musashi didn't seem to care too much about the timing the other party had chosen.

She made those remarks to her own apprentice, so it would be too inappropriate for her to go back on her word now.

Moreover, she didn't think anything would happen to her.

Iori's Niten Ichi-ryu, even though he explored other paths, did not generally exceed the established level.

The only thing that matters is probably that unformed "empty" shape.

Unless the opponent understands this in the next challenge, he will not be able to threaten Musashi in any way.

"Then let's find a place and get started quickly."

With a smile, Musashi called out to Iori.

"."

Iori remained silent and immediately followed.

Seeing this, Kenshin could only shake his head.

He had anticipated that his master would experience the thrill of "blood (battle)" and become unable to control himself, but he hadn't expected him to become so addicted.

Thinking back, she had only fought a monster (Void) once, but it was that one time that Iori couldn't hold back anymore.

This time, it just so happens to coincide with the time when Kojiro and Musashi were dueling.

How could he possibly ignore it?

Whether Kojiro or Musashi wins, it means that they will have one less opponent to challenge.

This is something Iori absolutely cannot allow.

How can you fight someone who isn't yourself?

I cannot let either my master or Kojiro disappear before me.

Inner desires are being aroused.
