I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

However, Hanakaiin Buddhagui continued.

"However, it seems that the White Tiger, as the mythical beast guarding the west, theoretically must face east to exert its maximum combat power. Conversely, when it faces west, it will be greatly weakened..."

The boy said this and tapped his head lightly with his fist.

"Well, let's do this, so that you don't feel bad about losing—"

Without saying anything else, Hanakaiin Fukui took a step, turned 90 degrees counterclockwise with Hayase Takashi as the center, turned his back to the east and hooked his finger at the latter.

"bring it on?"

"..."

Chi Guoguo's provocation.

Hayase Takashi originally thought that he no longer cared about winning or losing in these verbal battles, but when he saw this guy's arrogant look, the pent-up anger that had not changed at all from ten years ago suddenly broke out again.

"You guy...!!"

The young man raised the spear high in his hand and rushed forward with unprecedented strength.

But what he got in return was just a subtle raise of his eyebrows from Huakaiyuan Fogui.

"Huh? You really came?"

He took another punch with his backhand and knocked him flying on the spot.

Chapter 255: Dish, practice more

The perspective returns to the ticket hall of the station. The girls were shocked by the two men who rushed out to fight after just three words when they met. They didn't react until the two men completely disappeared from their sight.

"They...just rushed out and started fighting..."

Jester murmured.

She turned her head to look at the huge hole in the over ten-meter-high French window in the direction of the ticket hall door, which had been broken by the fight between the two, and pointed with a puzzled hand.

"Shouldn't we go over and take a look?"

“…Of course.”

Naruse Mio said this, but her eyes were fixed on the Nonaka sisters who were also from the Brave Village.

"What do you think?"

She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation, and the ordinary question sentence sounded more like a hostile question under the stressed pronunciation.

The ticket hall was still bustling with people. Although the sudden unexpected situation just now caused quite a commotion among the crowd, as the announcement about vehicle batches sounded on the hall radio as usual, those who had originally planned to join in the fun were forced to disperse.

After all, they came here to take a bus to other places. It is human nature to watch the excitement, but it cannot delay their own business.

At the same time, the voice of station staff arranging urgent repairs on the intercom was heard from the direction of the distant gate.

Nonaka Yuuki blinked calmly.

"Don't be so nervous. We have no intention of starting a war. As for Fugui and Hayase... don't worry. That's their way of expressing their feelings."

"Exchange feelings?"

The corners of Naruse Mio's mouth twitched.

It was the first time she heard of such a way of expressing feelings. They had to fight as soon as they met, and it was a fight of life and death with real swords and guns.

Which Spartan family are you from? Good brothers stab each other when they meet, right?

"Even though Hayase might not admit it, Fugui and Hayase actually had a pretty good relationship."

original?

Naruse Mio keenly caught the key words in the conversation and had a question mark in her mind.

After all, she didn't know much about Hanakaiin Fukui's past. Of course, the main reason was that the latter rarely mentioned this topic, and she basically never thought of asking.

But now that it's mentioned...

However, before she could even ask the question, Nonaka Yuuki continued speaking.

"Fogui's mother was originally from our Brave Village. Because of this relationship, we often played together for a period of time when we were young. It was during that time that the three of us, Kurumi, Hayase, and Fogui met. Hayase was always unable to beat Fogui, so he would challenge him. After being beaten by Fogui every time, he would be asked to make barbecue."

"Roast, grill meat?"

The red-haired girl was a little confused, not understanding what this sudden turn of events was.

How did it suddenly fast forward from the fist fight to the barbecue session?

"Because Hayase's cooking skills are very good."

The brave girl explained calmly.

"Fugui always made a bet that 'whoever loses has to buy barbecue,' and then beat Hayase up severely."

"..."

Not only do they want to beat up your people, they also want to eat your barbecue, right?

Are you sure this can really be considered a good relationship and not just some childhood bullying?

It's basically enslavement!

"By the way, what did you mean when you said 'they used to have a good relationship'? And from what I just heard from that guy with the spear... uh, that Hayase you guys are talking about, it seems like they broke up a long time ago, and there was also some talk of 'betraying the village' or something like that."

"that is……"

Yuxi subconsciously opened her mouth to explain.

However, at this moment, Walnut beside her suddenly reached out and tugged at her sleeve, shaking her head seriously.

Yuxi was slightly stunned by her sister's action, but she reacted immediately.

"Hmm... Let's talk about this later. Anyway, let's rush over now. They should be almost done fighting."

……

Just as Yuki predicted, the battle in the square was over by the time they arrived.

Looking from a distance, in the square in front of the office building full of potholes, two teenagers of similar age were standing one horizontally and one vertically under the scorching sun at noon in midsummer.

The man holding the spear, which should have been an inch longer and stronger, was now covered in wounds and could no longer move, lying in a human-shaped depression on the ground.

In front of him, another young man, who was unarmed but still spotless, was looking down at him with a gesture similar to the qigong cannon in Dragon Ball. Even from a distance of twenty or thirty meters away, one could hear mourning words like "If you're a noob, just practice more."

"Nonsense..."

Hayase Takashi, who was furious just a few minutes ago, now lay on the ground like a disabled person. The artifact "White Tiger" in his hand was still shining silver, but its owner no longer had the strength to hold the gun handle. He could only lie on the ground with an unwilling look on his face, breathing heavily, and glaring angrily.

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give me the final blow! Ahem... Since you can even associate with the Demon King's daughter, then chopping off my head must be a piece of cake! What are you still hesitating about... Ahem!!!"

The excessive force of speaking aroused the injuries in his body, forcing Hayase Takashi to cough violently again, with traces of dark red flowing from the corners of his mouth.

However, Huakaiyuan Fogui's expression was only slightly subtle.

"So, what kind of Northeastern yellow-necked ideology are you using? Can you please wake up? The human world had already opened a trade channel with the demon world forty years ago. Do you know about the Demon Special Zone on Genshin Island?"

"That...that is a disgrace to the human race! That is a traitor to the human race!"

"Yeah, well said. So when are you planning on blowing up Genkami Island?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Kaiyuan Fogui was immediately happy and continued to speak casually.

"Oh no... Or maybe I should just go and tell the First True Ancestor first. The Sanctuary Treaty was proposed by the First True Ancestor. As a demon clan, they're staking out territory in the human world and even trying to use the treaty to trick the human world into accepting the demon world. Their intentions are obvious to everyone!"

"So, Xiao Gao, now that we've come this far and are feeling quite emotional, when are you planning on taking in that First True Ancestor?"

"..."

silence.

Taking the First True Ancestor in? What a joke!

That was the longest-lived true vampire in recorded history, possessing the power to dominate the human world and a terrifying army of companions that was enough to destroy a country single-handedly. It was simply not something that a mere human hero like him could deal with.

"See, that's why I said you're a Northeastern yellow neck."

Huakaiyuan Fogui spread his hands.

"By the way, although I don't know how the village brainwashed you, I must clarify that I did not kill anyone in the village during the incident ten years ago."

"So what did Mr. Shiba say?!"

"...The one you're talking about was killed today, so it's still fresh."

The conversation between the two became increasingly bizarre, as if one side was carrying some deep blood feud, while the other side saw it as nothing more than eating two slices of bread in the morning.

Hearing this, Maria, who was hiding behind the flowerbed and green belt at the edge of the square and observing secretly, gently nudged the waist of Yuuki Nonaka, who was also hiding behind the flowerbed next to her, with her elbow.

"Hey, so what happened ten years ago? Tell me about it."

"Ten years ago..."

Ignoring her sister's dissuasion, the brave girl took a deep breath, and a look of reminiscence appeared on her face, which rarely showed any emotion.

Chapter 256: Origami Master Since Childhood

Memory goes back to ten years ago.

Village of Brave.

This is an unknown small village located deep in the mountains of Tohoku, Japan.

Saying it is unknown does not mean that it is unknown, but as the name literally means, no one knows its name because it has no name at all.

As for calling it the "Village of Brave" it is because the village itself is rich in brave men. Even the villagers themselves call the village a "mountain village" or simply a "village".

In other words, only those who have actually been to the village will know the geographical location of the Brave Village and whether it really exists.

It has been like this since ancient times, but... this year is an exception.

Because this year is the first and only time in the history of the Brave Village that it has conducted joint training with other external clan forces.

They were the Hanakaiin family of Kyoto, a powerful family of Onmyojis that had occupied the old capital of Japan for thousands of years.

For the two families...especially for the Brave Village, this was definitely a radical attempt. Taking the risk of being targeted by other forces to carry out friendly activities with external large clans was a precedent that had never been seen in thousands of years.

Once successful, the two sides will be able to establish diplomatic relations, and the exchange of technology will enhance each other's strength.

If they fail, the Brave Village will most likely face being targeted by other forces.

After all, although the Brave Village does not have the magical Yin-Yang magic of the Hanakaiin family in Kyoto, they also have their own unique training system that can make mortal humans strong enough to open the monument with their bare hands.

This technique is undoubtedly very attractive to both Onmyoji and amateur sorcerers.

In the final analysis, although the latter two, as traditional mages, possess stronger attack power and more fancy skills than the heroes, they are indeed inferior in terms of physical strength.

Simply put, it's a glass cannon.

In other words, as long as diplomatic relations can be established, it will be of great benefit to both sides.

Therefore, for this training camp, both sides showed their utmost sincerity.

First, the Brave Village opened its village, which had never been open to the outside world for thousands of years, and expressed its willingness to use its base camp as the training base, and would not impose any restrictions on the personnel sent by the Hanakaiin family.

The Hanakaiin family only sent the heads of the various branch families and a small number of servants. As for the rest, they were all the youngest generation of the Hanakaiin family. The oldest was only a little over ten years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old.

Among them was Hanakaiin Bukki, the new acting surrogate of the Hanakaiin family, who was only seven years old at the time.

On one side is the village of heroes who opened their base camp to welcome guests sincerely, and on the other side is the Hanakaiin family who came to participate in the training with only the future of their own clan.

This should have been a collaborative effort, and initially it was.

Until that day--

It was a midsummer morning, on the training ground of the Brave Village. The scorching sun shone through the gaps in the shade of the trees in the mountains and forests onto the ground like roasted charcoal. The sultry summer air rose and surged from the cracks in the soil. In such weather, even the slightest movement was enough to make people sweat profusely.

But the children still practice sparring on a daily basis, and under the shade of a tree sit the adults in the village who are responsible for supervising and guiding them.

"Speaking of which...it's already the seventh day of training, and it feels like the kids' sparring is still pretty much the same as before. It doesn't look like the Hanakaiin family has any plans to organize a competition between the two families."

Under the shade of a tree, one of the adult men from the Brave Village looked at the children on the training ground who were constantly sparring with each other with wooden swords and complained helplessly.

After all, if you look closely, you will find that the children on this training ground are all the new generation of their village, while all the children of the Huakaiyuan family are on the training ground on the other side of the mountain.

It was very strange. They had clearly agreed to have training, but from beginning to end there was no communication between the two sides at all, as if they were wary of each other.

"Well, this~"
