Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

"Okay."

"In Liyue, I met an older brother named Fang Xun,"

"He is the best, the very best brother in the world..."

Throughout the journey, Ayaka's mother listened attentively to the little girl recounting what had happened in Liyue.

Ayaka Kamisato's mother could clearly see it.

When the young man named Fang Xun was mentioned, Ayaka's big, watery eyes sparkled.

That was a light her mother had never seen in Ayaka's eyes.

It seems that Ayaka also has someone very important in her heart.

If given the chance, Linghua's mother would also like to meet the young man named Fang Xun.

Let's see who has such great ability to steal her daughter's heart.

...

After Ayaka returned home, her mother originally planned for her to rest for a day.

After all, traveling by boat is a very tiring thing, and the mother was worried that the little girl's body couldn't handle it.

However, Ayaka shook her head and refused to rest.

She insisted on attending classes as usual.

The reason for doing so is quite simple.

Xiao Linghua made a three-point agreement with her family.

As long as she meets the family's requirements, she can go to Liyue for a few days at regular intervals.

Xiao Linghua studied even harder than before, hoping to see Fang Xun again soon.

This struck Ling Ren as incredible.

My younger sister usually resists studying tedious courses, so why is she full of fighting spirit today?

The sun comes out in the west?

Especially the upcoming kendo class.

Normally, Ayaka would pout and look pitiful, unwilling to attend kendo class.

Because one part of her kendo class involved a sparring match between her and her brother, Ayato Kamisato.

Improve your kendo skills through actual combat.

The reason why Ayaka dislikes kendo class is because she is always bullied by Ryoto during matches.

But today...

Why doesn't my younger sister resist kendo lessons at all?

They even seemed quite happy and eager to try it out?

Ayato Kamisato couldn't understand it and felt very strange.

However, as the elder brother, he prioritized Ayaka's situation.

“Linghua, you haven’t had any systematic lessons these past few days, so your basic skills have probably fallen far behind.”

"How about this, you warm up first and try to get back into your previous rhythm,"

"Otherwise, you'll run to your mother crying again, saying I bullied you."

Upon hearing this, Ayaka Kamisato gripped her wooden sword tighter with both hands: "Brother, let me tell you a secret, I spent several days learning swordsmanship from Brother Fang Xun in Liyue."

"I'm not afraid of you now."

Upon hearing this, Ayato Kamisato pouted, a hint of jealousy in his expression.

Ever since Xiao Linghua came back, she's been talking about Brother Fang Xun all the time.

He called him "brother" in a more affectionate way than he did to his own brother.

It is said that daughters are like birds that cannot stay at home once they grow up.

But my younger sister isn't even grown up yet...

Ayato Kamisato also gripped his wooden sword tightly: "Alright, since you've said so, let's begin the contest."

"I'm very interested to see how much my sister's swordsmanship has improved."

...

Family members, I'm asking for some free gifts. If you think this book is good, please recommend it to someone who's currently looking for something to read.

I hardly saw any recommendations for this book in discussions about Genshin Impact, which is honestly a bit disheartening...

Chapter 128 Tears Flowed Silently

quickly,

The Kamisato siblings stood on the left and right sides of the dojo, ready to compete.

The entrance of the kendo instructor marked the official start of the competition.

In that instant, Ayato Kamisato gripped his wooden sword tightly and charged forward.

He was very fast, like a swift little cheetah.

His eyes were also fixed on Ayaka, who was not far away.

He was observing, watching to see what kind of response the little girl would make.

Using a counter-strategy to defeat the enemy is a tactic that Ayato Kamisato prefers to employ.

He prefers to anticipate his opponent's actions and counter them.

However, to Ayato's great surprise,

Unlike before, Ayaka was not flustered when faced with the situation.

She made no move to react, simply standing still with her hands in the same sword-holding position as before.

Those big, watery eyes showed surprise and confusion.

Seeing this, Ayato Kamisato shook his head slightly: "The little girl hasn't trained these past few days away from home, I already guessed her swordsmanship would have become quite rusty."

"What I didn't expect was that the little girl was even a beat slow to react."

In Ayato's opinion, Ayaka's strength has declined considerably.

Learning is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.

That statement is absolutely correct.

Ayato Kamisato is considering whether or not to let his sister have water.

After all, his sister's skills have clearly declined, and if he gets serious again, it would be a bit like bullying her.

Okay, then add just a little bit of water.

Let my sister lose before she gets too badly.

...

As Ayato Kamisato drew closer, Ayaka, who was standing still, showed a surprised expression.

Why did she feel that her brother's speed had slowed down?

It's as slow as breaking down a move.

Every move and technique is riddled with flaws.

No, it's not that her brother has slowed down, but that her reaction time has become faster!

Is this the swordsmanship that Brother Fang Xun spoke of?

I think I understand now.

Coming to her senses, Ayaka Kamisato gripped the wooden sword tightly with both hands.

At that moment, there was no longer any confusion or surprise in her eyes.

All that exists is absolute focus.

She entered a state of emptiness, her mind filled with the techniques Fang Xun had taught her during this period.

How to strike faster, how to be unstoppable...

Ayaka Kamisato only knew that Fang Xun had a profound understanding of swordsmanship.

Little did she know that Fang Xun's guidance to her was the highest level of the Shinri-ryu katana technique.

As Ayaka Kamisato raised the wooden sword with both hands, her aura suddenly changed.

It was like a calm lake suddenly churning up a stormy sea.

This scene left Ayato Kamisato slightly stunned.

My sister's skills haven't declined; on the contrary, they've improved quite a bit!

His feeling was that

Ayaka improved her swordsmanship more in the few days she spent in Liyue than she did in a year of studying at home.

Without time to think it through, Ayato Kamisato also became serious.

He stopped holding back and wanted to beat his sister with his true abilities.

Little Ayaka moved nimbly, first dodging her brother's attack.

Then, she swung her wooden sword with both hands and attacked her brother, Ayato Kamisato.

Kamisato-ryu Katana Technique: Tilt.

Ayato Kamisato reacted quickly, grabbing his wooden sword to defend himself.

Normally, it's Ayato Kamisato who keeps wielding his sword, while Ayaka struggles to hold on.

Now, the situation has reversed.
