After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

The dojo's interior is simple yet full of traditional Japanese style. The wooden floorboards creak slightly, adding to the solemnity of the place. Various martial arts equipment hang on the walls, as if telling the history and heritage of this place.

But there is one person in there who obviously doesn't fit the character of this place.

"elder sister!"

Hiroi Kikuri was wiping the floor with tears streaming down her face.

When Otsuki Yuyuko saw people, she took off her shoes, jumped to the corridor, and ran into the dojo.

"Otsuki-chan!? And Chaoyang?"

When Hiroi Kikuri heard a familiar voice, she looked up and saw Otsuki Yuyuko running towards her and Chaoyang standing at the door.

Seeing this, Chaoyang did not forget to send a message to Iwashita Shima to report his safety.

After sending it, Chaoyang suddenly felt like he was being watched. Although the feeling told him that the threat level was not high, it was rare to have such a feeling in this world.

"Haha, three more mice came in."

The door on the other side was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament and wearing Iaido robes, holding a bamboo sword, walked in slowly.

"Um... sorry to come in without saying hello. We're here looking for someone. Can we take that idiot scrubbing the floor away? If she's causing you any trouble, I'll take care of it."

But Hiroi Kikuri's mood at this moment was completely different from usual.

If I had to say it, she felt a bit like Pochi-chan, she just lowered her head to apologize and deliberately avoided Chaoyang's gaze.

"Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

The sound he made was weak and his voice was completely different from his previous loud voice.

[Could it be... training? ...Ah... This should be the state of Hiroi Kikuri when she doesn't drink. ]

"This young lady desecrated this sacred temple with a history of over a hundred years last night. As punishment, she agreed to stay here and work as a handyman for a week."

"That won't do! My sister has a performance in a few days, how can we waste our time in a place like this!"

Otsuki Yuyuko immediately yelled at the man who had already walked to the center of the dojo. Chaoyang kept his hand blocking her way, not knowing what Hiroi Kikuri had done, and the conflict could not be escalated.

"How dare you call training in a sacred dojo a waste of time! Mind your words, little girl!!!"

"I'm sorry, she's this lady's sister and she's a little agitated after not seeing her all day. However, are you suspecting illegal detention? Even if she's done something wrong, you shouldn't just detain her and prevent her from contacting the outside world."

"She volunteered to stay here to atone for her sins. As for not allowing her to contact you, that's completely absurd. I've never done anything like that."

The middle-aged man refuted it with disdain.

As if to prove this statement, Hiroi Kikuri spoke in a low voice.

"I've allowed my vomit, as insignificant and despicable as mine, to defile a place so rich in cultural history. Even if I stay here for the rest of my life, it won't be too much to atone for my sin."

【There are two Pochi-chans! 】

"This young lady has smeared the entire courtyard and corridor with filth. Since she is mentally prepared, I have also made a promise and will not renege on it and stand by and watch it be broken. Everyone, please go back. I'm sorry, I cannot agree to this."

After saying this, the middle-aged man was sitting in the center of the dojo.

Chaoyang thought about it and decided that it was only a week, and it was not unacceptable if it could also allow her to drink less.

"In that case, let's go."

"How can this be possible?! Many of my sister's fans have come from far away to look forward to this. Shimizu-senpai and Iwashita-senpai have also put in a lot of effort for this. What will happen to their efforts, dedication, and expectations?"

After stopping Chaoyang, Youyouzi turned around and walked over to sit in front of the middle-aged man.

"I'll stay here to atone for my sister's sins!"

Chaoyang scratched his head and walked over helplessly.

"Impossible. It is only right that one should bear the consequences of one's own sins."

The middle-aged man refused.

"So can it be solved with money?"

"Young man, you are insulting me! If it were in ancient times, I would have killed you!"

"But this is modern times, and you can't beat me. So what exactly do you have to do to get me to take this idiot away?"

"Insolent young men, since you are so determined to defile this sacred place, there is only one way: challenge me and defeat me!"

After saying that, he glared at Chaoyang.

And Chaoyang chuckled.

146. Watch me destroy it with one blow!

"You think you can beat me? I've been practicing kendo and iaido for decades since I was a child. You young brat are way too arrogant."

Seeing Chaoyang's sneering expression, I immediately understood that he didn't take me seriously.

"Ah, sorry... I laughed because I don't know anything about Iai or Kendo, and I thought you were bullying me."

Chaoyang realized he'd lost his composure a bit, so he tried to make amends. He told him the other party wasn't some utterly evil person; they were, after all, victims. While it was a bit excessive not to let him take Hiroi Kikuri with him, the alcohol in her system had completely evaporated, and since Hiroi Kikuri herself was willing to do so, it couldn't be blamed on the other party. If he had known he'd brought some alcohol with him, there wouldn't be any place selling alcohol on the mountaintop.

"That's fine. No need to worry about etiquette, just hit the opponent first. If you lose, I will present you with the plaque of the Dream God School and I will accept you as my disciple."

"No need... Just let me fight that idiot mopping the floor over there. I'll try my best... By the way, what happens if I lose?"

[It's useless for me to have your plaque...]

"Practice with me for a year and take care of all the miscellaneous matters."

"...Okay... Let's make it clear that as long as I don't lose, you can let me take this guy away."

"That's natural."

The other party looked like he was asking a superfluous question.

Chaoyang just asked symbolically what would happen if he lost and then agreed.

[Speaking of which, the name sounds quite Chuunibyou, what the hell is Dream God Den-ryu…]

While I was still complaining in my heart, the other party suddenly threw a bamboo sword at me.

Chaoyang caught the bamboo sword and observed it.

This was the first time in his life, and possibly the last time, that he would hold this thing.

It's not easy to run a dojo in the modern world at 4,50 or ... Let's call it a draw.

Chaoyang and the other person stood in the center of the dojo, facing each other.

"Kid, are you ready?"

"Yeah, anytime."

The other party bowed and Chaoyang followed suit.

The middle-aged man's sword grip is very different from the traditional two-handed grip of Japanese kendo.

He bent down slightly, holding the hilt of the sword with his right hand, with the blade gently pointing backwards, forming a unique Iai stance.

Although Chaoyang didn't know Iai or any other sword-drawing techniques, it was obvious that this wasn't a skill that could be used with a bamboo sword.

The other party seems to be letting himself.

In an instant, the middle-aged man's movements were swift and fierce, his swordsmanship so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to grasp. The bamboo sword shot out from his hand like a flash of lightning, pointing directly at the rising sun. The whole movement was extremely smooth.

However, in Chaoyang's eyes, everything seemed to slow down. He clearly saw every subtle movement of the opponent and the trajectory of the bamboo sword through the air.

Chaoyang also drew his sword decisively, without blocking or dodging. Instead, he estimated the time it would take for the sword to hit his body in an instant, and then he attacked again, trying to hit him at the same time to achieve a draw.

In the eyes of Pochi, Yuyuko, and Hiroi Kikuri, everything happened in just one second.

In a flash, Chaoyang swung his bamboo sword without any reason, piercing through the air and pointing directly at his opponent. Almost at the same moment, the tips of their swords accurately pierced the other's abdomen.

"...Hmm...it's a draw..."

Chaoyang was very satisfied with the success of his plan.

I specifically said before that you can take the person away if you don’t lose.

"..."

The opponent seemed to be in a dazed state from the moment he was hit.

Recently, he quietly put down the bamboo sword in his hand and sat down upright, finally becoming a dogeza, with his head directly touching the floor.

"I offer this signboard with both hands. I hope you will accept me as your apprentice."

"Ah ha? I said it was a tie, didn't I?"

"...In that instant, you achieved what I've only dreamed of. Unprepared, yet able to strike first. Although my body couldn't keep up with your movements, I felt as if I were experiencing a revolving lantern, feeling time compressed to the extreme, yet I could see your movements flowing with fluidity and grace, and I was powerless to stop them. If it were a real sword, I would undoubtedly be dead."

The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground spoke very piously, as if tears would well up in his eyes the next moment. He did not feel ashamed at all for kneeling before Chaoyang, a man much younger than him.

"Okay, that's great."

Pochi and Otsuki Yuyuko said it in unison. They looked at each other and then turned away shyly.

Chaoyang grabbed the back of his head, not knowing what to do.

[…Could this guy have special abilities, seeing through it?]

……

"Well... you can achieve this state by doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-meter run every day with perseverance... You can keep the plaque for yourself."

"It's Master!"

Before leaving, the middle-aged man kept asking Chaoyang for advice. Chaoyang had no choice but to casually mention an exercise method he had seen in an anime.

Finally, he left the dojo carrying the gloomy Hiroi Kikuri on his back.

"Don't worry about me. Someone like me is not worthy of bearing everyone's expectations."

Hiroi Kikuri was muttering to herself all the way, and she kept talking to herself.

Otsuki Yuyuko, who was held under Chaoyang's armpit, shouted loudly behind her.

"Sister, be normal!!!"

Pochi, who was trapped on the other side, now understood the key to recovery.

"Ah... Well, let's go buy some wine for Kikuri-san... She should be able to recover."

This is the happiest moment for Chaoyang. There are beautiful girls on his left, right and back, the only one missing is one hanging in front.

[Haha, I feel like after the band ends, I won't even need to buy a car. I can just go perform somewhere else with Pochikito on either side and Hong Xialiang on my back.]

Seeing himself in this state, Chaoyang couldn't help but imagine what would happen in the future.

Of course, we can only imagine it. We can't say whether other people are willing to do it, and the equipment cannot be moved.

In no time, Chaoyang took the three people down the mountain at a speed as fast as riding a slide.

Otsuki Yuyuko has seen too many of Chaoyang's strengths in a short period of time and has now gotten used to it and no longer makes any surprise noises.

Fortunately, she was a bit off-kilter and truly believed it was due to Chinese Kung Fu. Otherwise, even a casual thought would have made her question whether Chaoyang was human. He was carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight while bouncing down the mountain. Not to mention his strength, the strain on his knees alone would have been too much for a human to handle. They would have broken long ago. Although he had already been abnormal when he jumped from the building.

Ten minutes later, Chaoyang poured cheap shochu into Hiroi Kikuri's mouth in an instant at the convenience store door.

Her expression changed immediately.

"Hey? Bro, why are you so nice to me and even feed me wine~~~Hey hey hey~~"

"You really are a completely different person after drinking..."

Chaoyang sighed, and it seemed that today's emergency was resolved.

"Well...um...does the exercise method you mentioned really work?"

Otsuki Yuyuko walked forward, looking sideways at the ground and blushing as she asked Chaoyang.

[…It’s difficult…but if I can become this strong…it feels worth it.]

Otsuki Yuyuko had already decided to do as Chaoyang said.

"That was just a lie... well, I'm sure you'll get stronger if you keep doing it... probably."
