Chapter 1033 The Three Great Swords of Kyoto! 【4500】

Kyoto, a Japanese confectionery shop——

This Japanese confectionery shop is not very well-known. It is neither big nor small. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary shop that can be found everywhere.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the counter. There are eight tables in the front hall for guests to sit and enjoy Japanese confectionery.

Although it is not a well-known store, the taste of the Japanese confectionery it produces and sells is truly amazing.

With its rich and fragrant taste, it has successfully won the love of nearby neighbors and has a group of regular customers.

In addition to the excellent taste, another major feature of this Japanese confectionery shop is the charming proprietress.

This shop is a typical "husband-and-wife shop". There are no other employees in the store, only a loving couple.

My husband is an ordinary middle-aged man, around 40 years old, with average looks, neither handsome nor ugly. Apart from being tall and in good shape without gaining weight, he has no special features.

In comparison, the wife is much more eye-catching.

In a nutshell, she is an absolute beauty!

Thirty-something is the best age for a wife.

She has fair and delicate skin, exquisite facial features, and her brows have the charm unique to a mature woman.

She always wears a red kimono on weekdays, and her plump feet look very beautiful under the hem of her kimono.

A beautiful face is certainly eye-catching, but a proud figure is even more attractive!

Even wearing a loose kimono, it couldn't hide her plump breasts and round buttocks.

Because of its large size, the "Southern Hemisphere" is always hung on the belt.

Its presence is further enhanced by the belt.

With such a "living signboard", there is no need to worry about lack of male customers.

Many people are attracted to the proprietress. Even though they don't like Japanese confectionery, they still come to patronize this store and try every means to stay in the store just to see her a few more times.

However, it is easy to imagine that such a beauty would easily attract the attention of others.

Since the store opened, many scoundrels have been harassing the proprietress, including some vicious-looking, lawless Yakuza.

"Hey! Little beauty, don't follow your useless husband! An uncle selling Japanese confectionery is not worthy of you! A beauty should be with a hero! Come and be my concubine! I can let you live a luxurious life like never before!"

Some people said frivolous things to her, some wanted to touch her, and some even tried to stop her when the boss lady was out...

If it were an ordinary family, they would have to endure the harassment and threats from the Yakuza.

However, the strange thing is that the couple always looks calm and at ease.

No matter who the other party is - whether it is the vicious Yakuza or the powerful wealthy family - they all behave very calmly, never showing any worry or fear, as if they don't take the other party seriously at all.

As far as the results are concerned, they do have the capital to remain calm - because anyone who gets involved with the boss lady will always end up with a miserable ending!
Either flee Kyoto overnight and never come back, or disappear completely as if evaporating from the face of the earth...

Over time, it became difficult for the couple to avoid attracting the attention of nearby neighbors.

It can make all those scoundrels with good backgrounds shut up and disappear... Even if you think with your butt, you can conclude that this couple is definitely not ordinary people!

There are many different opinions about their true identities.

There are all kinds of rumors, such as "the retired Yakuza boss" and "the rich kid who went to the countryside".

The couple never responded directly to these messy rumors, but always responded with a smile.

When they get tired of being asked, they will answer calmly:

"As you can see, we are just a loving couple selling Japanese confectionery. There is nothing special about us. Please stop spreading those unfounded rumors. It will cause us a lot of trouble."

Although their tone was gentle, the neighbors nearby were all frightened after hearing the "reminder" that "it will cause us a lot of trouble."

A couple who are not afraid of even the Yakuza and the rich and powerful...how could ordinary people like them afford to offend them?
As a result, they consciously shut up and stopped discussing or spreading related matters, for fear of causing unnecessary disasters.

For this reason, the rumor that "this couple is not an ordinary person" was limited to the nearby neighbors and did not spread widely.

Today, this Japanese confectionery shop is open for business as usual and is welcoming customers as usual.

The boss sat behind the counter, silently sorting out the account books.

He was very skilled at tapping the abacus. The beads made a "tapping" sound as they were pushed, leaving afterimages. It was obvious that he was a good accountant.

The proprietress was kneading dough in the kitchen. With her amazing wrist strength, she could press and knead the dough weighing dozens of kilograms into mud balls as big as her thumb.

Business was slow at the moment, so the tables in the front hall were mostly empty, with only four young people occupying a small table.

They are regular customers of the store, and they gather here every now and then, order a few plates of Japanese sweets and cups of tea, and then chat and brag.

"Did you know? Kyoto has three famous swords!"

At this moment, one of them - a thin young man with buck teeth - took a big gulp of tea and held up three fingers.

They were just discussing who was more beautiful, "the most beautiful woman in Kyoto" Shiyang or "the most beautiful woman in Edo" Chiba Sanako, but somehow the topic suddenly jumped to the completely unrelated "Three Famous Swords of Kyoto".

Men just like to wield swords and spears. This is the truth of the world and does not change with time or region.

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused the interest of the classmates at the same table.

Seeing that he had become the focus of the whole audience, the bucktoothed man chuckled, then imitated the storyteller's tone and said slowly:

"One of the 'Three Great Swords of Kyoto' is Vairocana, the sword of 'Niou' Tachibana Aoto!"

"It is said that this sword was originally a family heirloom of the Yamada Asaemon family."

"The only people who have used this sword are the successive heads of the Yamada Asaemon family."

"However, it was lost decades ago."

"How this sword ended up in the hands of the King remains unknown."

"I have heard that the Yamada Asaemon family once thought of asking Niou for Vairocana."

"But after considering the huge gap between themselves and the King, they remained silent very rationally, not daring to make any noise, and never mentioned the affiliation of Vairocana."

Hearing this, all the friends at the same table laughed.

Although the Yamada Asaemon family was notorious for its "killing people family", their hereditary official position was only that of a Yasinobugyo with a salary of 500 koku.

Not to mention the current Aoto, even the Aoto during the period of "side attendant and servant of the emperor" is an existence that the Yamada Asaemon family cannot afford to provoke!

It is no exaggeration to say that with the power that Qing Deng currently possesses, he can turn "Yamada Asaemon" into a historical term just by moving his lips.

As for robbing the house openly... unless the members of the Yamada Asaemon family had their heads caught by the door panels, they would not dare to resort to force against Nioh even if they were given a hundred courage.

Bucktooth took a sip of tea to moisten his throat so that he could start the following content:

"The Vairocana is the sword forged by the Yamada Asaemon family, who has been in the family for many generations... He hired a famous craftsman, used the most luxurious materials, and combined it with the family's long-accumulated experience in chopping and forging this peerless sword!"

"It's longer than a normal katana, and the blade is very sharp!"

"Because it has killed so many people, it has a strong murderous aura, and the blade emits a seductive purple light, so it is named the 'Demon Sword'!"

"Not long ago, Niou reforged Vairocana's blade and refined it into the legendary black sword!"

"Today's Vairocana has a pitch-black blade, emitting a purple-black luster. It is not only extremely sharp, but also very tough! It is an indestructible sword!"

"As for the second of the 'Three Great Swords of Kyoto', it is the legendary Kikuichimonji Norimune!"

"It was forged by Ichimonji Norimune, a swordsmith of the Ichimonji school of Bizen Province, at the request of Emperor Go-Toba during the Kamakura period. It has a history of 800 years."

"Its blade is extremely long, the blade is thin and slender, and the 16-petal chrysanthemum emblem representing the royal family is engraved near the handle."

"In terms of sharpness alone, few swords in the world can match it!"

"It's a pity that the Kikuichimonji has been lost and its whereabouts are unknown."

"However, as far as I know, this sword is currently somewhere in Kyoto! It is kept by a great swordsman!"

As soon as Bucktooth finished speaking, his companions became more alert, their eyes lit up, their faces showed surprise, and they all interrupted and said:
"Kikuichimonji is in Kyoto? Is that true?"

"What a coincidence! I've heard the same rumor!"

"Great swordsman? Who is that?" Bucktooth rolled his eyes at the other person and said unhappily:

"how could I know!"

"The Kikuichimonji is a rare and precious sword. If we can find out its whereabouts easily, that would be unacceptable!"

"Perhaps the elders who have lived in Kyoto for a long time will know more about Kikuichimon Norimune."

At this time, someone at the same table suddenly had an idea: An elder who has lived in Kyoto for a long time? Isn't there one here?

So he turned to look at the boss behind the counter:

"Boss, you have lived in Kyoto for a long time, right? Have you heard about the whereabouts of Kikuichimonji?"

"Kikuichimonji Norimune? Well..."

The boss curled up the corners of his mouth, as if smiling.

"As you can see, I'm the owner of a Japanese confectionery shop, and I don't usually pay attention to news about swords."

"But...famous swords often end up in unexpected places."

"My guess is that Kikuchimonji Norimune is now gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere, waiting for its new owner."

As soon as the boss finished speaking, he received the approval of the bucktoothed man:

"Boss, well said! Famous swords often end up in unexpected places!"

"Maybe Kikuichimonji is near us!"

To this group of young people, the boss's sudden remark was just a minor episode.

They immediately returned to the topic and began to discuss the last of the "Three Great Swords of Kyoto".

"The last of the 'Three Great Swords of Kyoto' is the 'Eternal Sword Saint' Ogata Issei's sword, Daishikuten and Daijizai!"

Upon hearing this, someone couldn't help but interrupt:

"Hmm? Where are the three great swords? Why are there four swords?"

Bucktooth immediately explained:
"There are four or five of the 'Three Great Swords'. This is normal! Don't interrupt me. Wait until I finish!"

"The 'Eternal Sword Saint' Ogata Issei is still alive. Not only is he not dead, but he is living in seclusion in Kyoto. This is a widely known rumor, so I won't elaborate on it."

"Daishukten is a katana, and Daijizai is a wakizashi. Both swords are very ornate, with the handles and scabbards in blue and gold."

"Because the 'Eternal Sword Saint' is a dual-sword swordsman, whenever his sword is mentioned, his long and short swords will be mentioned together and cannot be separated."

"Although these two swords are top-notch swords that are rare in a million, they do not have any particularly remarkable features compared to the Vairocana and Kikuchimonjitsu."

"But who says they are the swords of the 'Eternal Sword Saint'? Just based on this fact, they are enough to be ranked among the 'Three Great Swords of Kyoto'."

Someone else interrupted:

"Ah? Just because they are the swords of the 'Eternal Sword Saint', they are listed among the 'Three Great Swords of Kyoto'?"

Bucktooth snorted and laughed strangely twice:

"Huh! You don't understand!"

"Why is the Green Dragon Crescent Blade so famous? Because it is Guan Gong's weapon!"

"Why is the Dragonfly Cutting Machine so famous? Because it is Honda Tadakatsu's weapon!"

"An excellent weapon can make its user famous, and an excellent user can also make the weapon famous!"

"Just relying on the reputation of 'Eternal Sword Saint', even if he uses an unnamed sword, he can still make this sword leave a name in the glorious history!"

Bucktooth's eyebrows were beaming with joy, and he became more and more excited as the conversation went on.

However, he and his companions soon grew tired of the topic.

In a short while, they changed the topic seamlessly and enthusiastically discussed whether Zi Yang, "the most beautiful woman in Kyoto", was still a virgin.

……

……

That night--

This Japanese confectionery shop has two floors.

The first floor is the store, and the second floor is the living space for the couple.

At this moment, the couple gathered in the living room, each busy with their own things.

The proprietress, Komaki, is weaving leisurely.

The boss, Goro Furumaki, sat nearby, concentrating on applying knife oil to a katana.

As we all know, ironware is very delicate.

Take swords as an example. They must be oiled regularly to prevent rust.

The katana in his hand had a very gorgeous appearance - the handle was blue and gold.

If you look closely, you can easily find that the blade is sharp and the surface is like a mirror, just like a new knife just out of the oven. You can tell at a glance that it has been well maintained.

After applying the knife oil, Goro Komaki put down the oiling tools in his hands, held the knife with both hands, pointed the tip of the knife to the sky, and looked up and down the blade thoughtfully.

At this moment, A-Ming suddenly spoke:

"Ayi, did the idle chat of that group of people today rekindle your ambition?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Mu Wu Lang raised his eyebrows:
"Did you hear everything?"

"Their voices are so loud, it's hard not to hear them."

Ating paused for a moment, then continued half-jokingly:

"Both Great Insati and Great Freedom are rare swords, but they can only be placed on the sword rack, with no place to use them... It's really unfair to them."

Komu Goro smiled bitterly and shrugged:

"Renewed ambition... not really."

"A-Ming, I really cherish the peaceful time now."

"I'm already tired of these dangerous yet exciting days."

"If I had a choice, I would like to spend the rest of my life in peace."

"What a pity... the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."

"For a troublemaker like me, even if I try to live in seclusion, trouble will find me automatically and I can't avoid it."

"In order to deal with troubles that may come at any time, I have to keep my sword sharp at all times."

"For some reason, I have a feeling that I, a troublemaker, am going to cause trouble again."

After saying that, Komaki Goro sheathed the sword in his hand, then turned around and hugged Atachi tightly, his two big hands moving restlessly up and down.

As Ah-Ming allowed the other party to caress her, she smiled helplessly:

"We've been married for so many years, and it's like this every night... If it were an ordinary woman, I'm afraid she would have been tormented by you a long time ago."

Komaki Goro said half jokingly and half seriously:

"Who says my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world? Isn't it too much to ask me to suppress my love for her?"

While chatting and laughing, the two of them had already fallen on the tatami, with their clothes falling all over the floor...
