Shirou's clones number 30 million

One was hairy and had a large beard, while the other was tall and thin with a gun at his waist.

Another customer in the shop was a young girl with blue hair, her back to the door, looking at the several buckets of blunt knives on the wall that looked very cheap.

Noticing the two people entering from outside, the bearded man, who was haggling over a price, immediately stopped and exchanged a glance with the tall, thin man.

"This is not a place for children. And you're even carrying a sword. Do you know how to use a sword, little girl?"

"Have they arrived?" Kuina murmured to herself.

"What's this? Little girl, that sword in your hand looks quite valuable. Actually, your uncle has an unparalleled sword technique. If you're willing to trade that sword for it, I might be able to teach it to you."

"really?"

"Of course! There's not enough room to maneuver here, let's go outside."

At that moment, the shop owner ran out from behind the counter and stood in front of Guina.

"Wait a minute! I know these two. They're just two good-for-nothing bounty hunters. There's no way they could have some kind of invincible swordsmanship. It's obvious they're lying."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly noticed Kuina's face and couldn't help but gasp in surprise:

"Tashigi, did you have a sister?"

Hearing the shop owner call her name, Tashigi, who was intently examining the blunt knives against the wall, instinctively turned around.

Then, she saw a face almost identical to her own and couldn't help but ask:

"Who...who are you?"

Kuina glanced at her curiously a few times, then shifted her gaze back to the bearded man, brandishing the sword in her hand, and said seriously:

"If you want the sword, come with me."

The bearded man looked back and forth between the two girls who looked almost identical, and thought to himself:

I thought they were tourists from out of town, but they turned out to be locals. Looks like I have to finish this quickly.

That knife looks valuable, so it's worth the risk.

Even if her parents are powerful and influential figures, they can simply move to another island after obtaining the knife.

"Young lady, you have a good eye. My sword technique is unparalleled and has killed countless people. You've made a great deal by exchanging it for a knife."

"and many more!"

Just as the shop owner was about to try to persuade him again, he noticed an arm sticking out from the side, firmly blocking his way.

"What do you mean by this? Isn't that blue-haired girl your companion? Are you just going to let her be bullied like this?"

"Don't worry, Kuina will be fine," Shirou said with a smile.

"Her name is Kuina? Even if she trained from a young age, she's still just a little girl."

"If you're still worried, how about we go out and take a look?"

"it is good."

Outside the weapons shop, on the street.

Kuina drew her sword, staring intently at the bearded man.

"bring it on."

"Young lady, would you like to witness my unparalleled swordsmanship? Then I won't hold back."

The bearded man pulled out a knife with a small broken piece from his waist and slashed at Kuina.

So slow!

No, it's that I've become stronger.

Realizing this, Kuina smiled slightly, easily dodging his attack and shaving off his beard with a single sword stroke.

"Where's your unparalleled swordsmanship? It shouldn't be that move from just now, right?"

Touching his chin, which had been shaved off a large section of his beard, Yuan Da Bei felt a slight fear, but looking at Gui Na's thin body, he rallied again.

I was careless just now. Be more careful, and everything will be fine.

The other person is just a little kid, and I am an adult, how could I possibly lose to her?

Watching the two men fighting on the street from the sidelines, the shop owner breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never expected her to be so amazing. Is her name Kuina? She'll definitely become a famous swordswoman in the future."

"Is that knife in her hand one of the fifty best swords in the world?"

"Hmm." Shirou nodded slightly.

"It's too dangerous! A child carrying such a famous sword will definitely attract a lot of attention."

"It's just a fine-cutting sword. As for Kuina, it's fine."

Shirou's collection does not include any Supreme Grade Swords, but it does contain two Great Grade Swords.

The reason it wasn't given to Kuina was because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the envy that would follow.

"Is that all?" the shop owner muttered to himself, "Perhaps, there really isn't a problem."

A child who can easily beat adults has a bright future.

The child beside her was dressed in gorgeous clothes, clearly of noble birth.

Such a pair would certainly need guards when traveling.

As he was staring intently at the two people on the street, he suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve. Turning around, he saw Tashigi looking at him with a mixture of expectation and unease.

"Boss, can I borrow a weapon? I want to try and challenge her."

"Aren't you... sisters?"

"No, this is the first time I've seen her, the first time I've realized that there's someone in the world who looks exactly like me. She's amazing, and I want to try to challenge her. Please lend me a weapon."

"Speaking of which, you often come to the store just to look but never buy anything. How does your swordsmanship compare to hers?"

"I'm no match for them at all. But... I want to give it a try."

The shop owner fell silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Shirou smiled and said:

"Lend it to her, I'll pay for it, anything under 100 knives is fine."

"No, it's not that I'm stingy with the money," the shopkeeper hesitated. "Tashigi is a girl from town, and she usually likes to look at information about famous swords, but I really don't know her swordsmanship level. What if she accidentally gets hurt..."

"Your concerns are valid, but if two girls who look exactly alike meet and want to test their swordsmanship, shouldn't we allow them to?"

"Hmm... okay."

The shop owner sighed softly, shifted his gaze to Tashigi, and said helplessly:

"Go to the store and pick out a knife. You're a regular customer, so you probably already have one in mind, right?"

"Um... thank you, boss. I need to borrow Xiaoye Shigure for a moment."

"Good eye. Shigure is an excellent swift sword. Although it is not among the top-quality swift swords, it is not much inferior."

Before they could finish speaking, the two on the street had already decided who would win.

Kuina sheathed her sword, glanced at the unconscious bearded man and the tall, thin man carrying him on his back, and slowly walked toward the weapon shop.

"Saint Saragni, I've won. Shall we continue shopping for weapons?"

"Wait a moment, someone wants to challenge you and has already gone to get their weapon."

"That girl who looked somewhat familiar just now?"

"Looks familiar? How long has it been since you looked in a mirror?"

"More than a month?"

"No wonder..."

She'd actually forgotten what she looked like; she's surprisingly a bit of a ditz. I never noticed before...

Chapter 112, Section 113: Kuina vs. Tashigi

"I want to challenge you! After watching the match just now, I feel that I am definitely no match for you, but you look exactly like me and are the same height."

Tashigi paused for a moment, then mustered her courage and said:

"That means that as long as I keep working hard, I can become as strong as you."

"So, please fight me!"

"Sure," Kuina smiled and agreed.

Since leaving her hometown and embarking on the path to becoming the world's number one, she has been determined to face powerful enemies in the future.

Although the challenger this time was just a little girl the same age as me, I could tell from her eyes that she was just as serious about kendo.

Tashigi drew Shigure, gently stroked it, and, suppressing her excitement, assumed a basic sword-holding stance.

In the past, she would always come to the weapon shop to look around, but because she didn't have enough pocket money, she would only look and not buy.

This Shigure sword was, in her opinion, one of the best weapons in the shop, and its quality was comparable to that of the finest sword among the fifty crafts.

"Boss, please say 'start'."

"Okay, let's begin!"

The next instant, Tashigi charged forward with her sword raised.

Clang!

Before she could react, the weapon in her hand was knocked away, and she stared blankly at the blade against her neck.

"I... lost."

So weak!

Kuina subconsciously muttered a complaint to herself.

Because the other person looked somewhat familiar, and given their seriousness towards kendo, she once thought they were someone similar to herself.
