One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 834 Asking for advice
The competition ended with this move, and then Koshiro and Kuina hugged each other and cried bitterly, which made Hiyori and others stunned. What happened? Wasn't she fine just now? Why did she cry suddenly? Hiyori and others didn't know what to do and were ready to leave, but Koshiro stopped them and said he would treat them to a meal no matter what.

"No, really."

Hiyori waved her hand to refuse, but at this moment Koshiro showed even stronger persistence than in the previous competition. He refused to let Hiyori and the others leave no matter what. He even seemed to be ready to kill himself here if Hiyori and the others wanted to leave. Only then did Hiyori and the others reluctantly agree.

Then, what was unexpected was that Koshiro actually called all his students together, announced on the spot the fact that women can also become strong swordsmen, and then thanked Hiyori again in public, and then talked about holding a banquet. Koshiro's students came from all walks of life, not all of them specialized in swordsmanship, and among them there happened to be several people who were chefs, and suddenly the whole kendo hall became lively.

"Come on, eat more, eat more."

Koshiro was extremely enthusiastic in using serving chopsticks to pick up food for Hiyori, Yamato and the others, as if he was afraid that they would not be full, while Kuina was also busy pouring wine and tea beside them, making Hiyori and the others feel very uncomfortable.

"No need to do that, I can pick up the food myself, thank you, really not necessary."

Hiyori waved her hands quickly, but Koshiro, who was almost going crazy with joy at this moment, was not going to listen and kept picking up food. Finally, Hiyori and the others could not stand this atmosphere anymore and found ways to slip away to other places. Koshiro was already drunk at this time. He lay on the table and talked incoherently in his sleep, saying things like "Father, you are wrong. Kuina can do it." "My daughter can become a strong person!"

"Sorry, my father got a little too excited."

Kuina looked at Hiyori and the others who were about to leave and said with deep apology.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mr. Koshiro is probably just too happy. It's nothing."

Hiyori waved her hand and said that although they didn't like Koshiro that much, they still had a very good impression of Kuina.

"Well, I still want to ask, how did you train? I also want to have your strength. Of course, if it's a secret, forget it."

Kuina hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"Training? Speaking of which, I really don't know how to put it. How about this, since you also want to become stronger, then come to the dock to find me in the next few days. We should stay for a week. How about I help you train during this week?"

At this moment, Hiyori suddenly felt playful. She used to be the one being trained every day, and now she finally had the chance to experience the feeling of training others. How could she miss it?

"Is it really possible?"

Kuina was stunned for a moment. She had already prepared herself to be rejected. Even if she was not rejected, the other party would at most tell her some tips. But she didn't expect that the other party would actually teach her directly?

"No problem, no problem, but you have to tell your father first. Also, my training is very hard. If you are not mentally prepared, you won't be able to stick with it!"

Hiyori said with a smile.

"No problem! I will persist no matter how hard it is!" Kuina nodded and said very seriously. Although she is only a few years younger than Hiyori, the feeling they give people is very different. Perhaps it is because she has seen too many strong people in the process of growing up, and her horizons are completely different. Compared with Kuina, Hiyori unconsciously carries some of the aura of a strong person. At the same time, because she eats and drinks well, Hiyori's height has surpassed her in the original timeline, and is developing towards two meters. This makes Hiyori look much older than Kuina, just like an adult facing a child. Kuina's speech at this moment is like a stubborn little girl, revealing a stubborn feeling.

"Very good, then I'll wait for you tomorrow morning."

Hiyori nodded and left with Yamato and the others, while Kuina went back to share the good news with others. When Koshiro woke up from his half-sleep and heard the news, he fell into a second excitement.

"Kuina, you must learn it well. Although you have learned a lot from my swordsmanship, I am only a swordsman after all. Although I can make flying slashes, I am not a real strong man after all. You have also seen the strength of Miss Hiyori. I couldn't even block her one move. Even if it was because of her strength, that speed and accuracy are not something that ordinary people can achieve. You must learn it well and understand it seriously, okay?"

Koshiro grabbed Kuina's hand and said it over and over again.

"I understand, father. I will take it seriously."

Kuina nodded and said.

"Very good, this is your chance, Kuina. Your father has never learned how to teach girls, and I can only teach you those basic moves, which is why you are constantly chased by Zoro. Now, you finally have the opportunity to learn real high-end swordsmanship. If there is anything you don't understand, you must ask clearly. Don't be embarrassed, and don't be ashamed to ask. You must ask clearly."

Koshiro began to tell Kuina all kinds of things incessantly, almost treating her like a child who had just started kindergarten, fearing that anything might go wrong.

"Okay, okay, father, I know, you should get some rest."

Looking at Koshiro's expression, Kuina couldn't help but feel a little funny. It was the first time she knew that her father was such a fussy person, but such a father was not bad, was it? Since her mother passed away, her father hadn't smiled like this for a long time. The seemingly casual smile before was too fake, and the current smile was better.

"Okay, okay, I'll take a rest. I'll go take a rest."

The alcohol started to take effect again, Koshiro stood up shakily and walked towards the house, while Kuina was going to go outside to help clean up the remains of the party, but it was obvious that others would not allow Kuina's help now, and the students of the gym teamed up to drive Kuina back. They all knew that Kuina would start training with Hiyori tomorrow, and while everyone was happy for Kuina, they also didn't want her to get tired and delay her training tomorrow.

Kuina had no choice but to go back to the house and rest as she could not refuse other people's kindness.

In the middle of the night, when Kuina got up to go to the bathroom, she found that her father's door was open, no one was inside, and the bed was not made. Thinking of how much Koshiro had drunk today, Kuina suddenly woke up. Where did this worrying father go?
However, after walking a few steps, Guina found a room with the lights on. Guina walked over curiously. It was a side room of the house, where was placed the portrait of Guina's mother. Guina would come to pay homage every morning, but had never seen her father come in. Today, she finally saw her father. At this time, her father was no longer as upright as before. He was holding his mother's portrait in his arms, curled up on a mat, with an imperceptible tear mark on his face. In his sleep, he had a hint of a smile on his face, perhaps he was dreaming about someone.

Guina quietly retreated without disturbing her father. She thought her father would not want anyone to see his appearance. It was not cold in the village now, so nothing should happen that night.

Thinking this, Kuina quietly retreated and returned to her room as if nothing had happened. But at least she had resolved her knot in her heart, and she had resolved several knots in one day. Isn't it a beautiful day?

With this thought in mind, Kuina returned to her room. At this moment, Kuina felt surrounded by great happiness. In just one day, the world seemed to have changed dramatically. Isn’t it really great?
