A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

This chaotic scene was quite sudden for Kanon. Ever since she saw Kanon defeat Samato and then hugged Kanon so affectionately, Garuda seemed to have flipped a switch, becoming much more cheerful... and more proactive.

Her feelings for Hanon were originally based on the Wu clan's family tradition of seeking out strong individuals to reproduce. Later, when she discovered that Hanon was a girl, she should have stopped there. However, the Wu clan's family education was a driving force, and the unforgettable first love of young men and women was also a kind of inertia!

Kanon has a ton of advantages: strong, beautiful, and with a good personality. Her relationship with Garuda, built up during the Final Elimination Tournament, is also a major draw for him. Garuda, a man of the martial world, certainly has the courage to make decisive choices, but from another perspective, aren't martial world people also capable of both love and hate? Previously, Garuda's feelings for Kanon were complicated and hesitant, but Kanon's heroic performance in her recent battle with Zuo Madou has begun to tip the scales...

In mid-March, during the Japanese students' spring break, Kanon was holed up in her small dojo at home, practicing martial arts with a pure and detached mind. Her energy-absorbing techniques hadn't made much progress yet when Garuda came knocking on her door. Then, coincidentally, Miho's work wasn't so busy, so she also came to Takakaze's house to play with Kanon. When the three of them met, an awkward atmosphere immediately spread.

"This..." Three rather pretty women sat together, seemingly close friends, but the atmosphere was so awkward that Hanon's back was soaked with sweat... Goodness, even against Kuroki and Guo Haihuang, Hanon wouldn't be this terrified! What does this mean? It means that the physical fights were just the tip of the iceberg; the real challenge is always life itself.

Wow, I've learned something new again...

Now Kanon feels that there's some truth to a saying from her past life: "Running away is shameful, but it's useful..."

"You two!" Hana slapped her thigh. "Um, don't say anything, I have something to do later, I'll be going now."

What a weak explanation...

Garuda's big, bright eyes believed her. Her heart was pure; she only wanted to get closer to Kanon, not even considering the future. It seemed she was about to let Kanon go. But Mihono was more familiar with Kanon and wasn't so easily fooled. She grabbed Kanon: "Hey, Kanon, as far as I know, you don't seem to have anything special planned for spring break, right?"

“This…” Huayin suddenly remembered what her uncle had said a while ago: “Qingming Festival is coming soon, and I need to go and pay respects to my parents.”

"Oh!" Mihono blinked her big eyes, believing Kanon; this reason was quite convincing...

Seems like we're safe for now? We're finally out of this hellish situation. At that moment, all Kanon wanted was to master a divine skill so she could become invisible just walking down the street!

In the end, Kanon still came to the cemetery and paid her respects to her parents who had unfortunately passed away in this life.

Then she still lamented, "I was just an honest person in my past life, so why am I developing into a scumbag, no, a scumbag woman, in this life?"

She looked at the tombstone, wondering how her parents in this life had come together.

Actually, she had asked this question before. Butler Ito then recounted the love story of Kanon's parents—the process of their relationship was quite tortuous, but not difficult to understand. In short, it was an East Asian version of "Roman Holiday." They simply changed the background of "Roman Holiday" and put it on the same page. The marriage of the middle-class Mr. Ye and the wealthy Mrs. Yingfeng was as romantic and heartwarming as a movie.

"Both of you." Putting aside her worries and embarrassment, Hanon bowed respectfully to the tombstone: "May you rest in peace in heaven. Having inherited your daughter's body, I will live an upright life."

Hanon's grave-sweeping is a quiet act of mourning, but for some people it's different.

"Waaaaah, my wife! Why did you leave me all alone... Your life has only just begun... Waaaaah..."

As Hanon was about to leave, there was still a family crying in the cemetery. However, the "children" of this family seemed quite calm, except for the uncle who had lost his wife, who was hugging the tombstone and crying uncontrollably.

Emmm, Hana felt that the uncle's voice sounded familiar.

Sure enough, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a familiar face. The weeping uncle was Watari Daizo from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He was the one who introduced Kanon to the Metropolitan Police Department to practice judo and who also acted as a matchmaker between her and Shibukawa Goki.

As for Uncle Watarai's "children," Kanon knows them even better. One is Watarai Mayumi, and the other is Shindo Kotaro. When Kanon first came into contact with martial arts, she practiced judo with them and they are very close.

"Mayumi, Kotaro."

"Ah, it's Kanon!"

They greeted each other and exchanged updates. Looking at the weeping Uncle Watarai, Hana couldn't help but feel deep admiration: "Your father was truly a devoted lover..."

"Ugh, that old man really does this every year." Shindo Kotaro picked his ear, his head throbbing from his uncle's antics. "Seriously, it's been twelve years already, and he's still acting like a child."

Upon hearing this, Mayumi immediately revealed Shindo's dark history: "Don't even mention Dad, Kotaro, weren't you the same way back then? You cried even harder, hugging the memorial tablet and calling for Mom, making the mourners think you were the one who was bereaved."

"I was just a kid back then! What's wrong with a kid crying a little?" Shindo blushed, feeling shy.

It's been like this since they started practicing judo. Watching this childhood sweetheart couple laugh and joke around is very stress-relieving, and it also eases the anxiety that Kanon felt because of the love triangle.

She chuckled softly, about to tease Kotaro a bit: "I say, Kotaro, you..."

"Shindo!" Suddenly someone shouted, interrupting Hanon. Then a flash of cold light appeared as a blade slashed down at Kotaro.

What a fast slash! This strike was incredibly sharp, even dazzling someone as strong as Kanon. But Kotaro was very familiar with this strike, and he simply raised his hand to bring the blade into his palm.

The attack was deflected by Kotaro with his bare hands, and the swordsman didn't seem to care: "Heh heh heh, I've finally found you, Shindo."

Kotaro could only smile wryly: "Hey, what's wrong with you again, Baldy Tian?"

Kanon recognized this person—mainly because she recognized his bald head. This person's name is Teruhiko Tenkoji, and he is also a very skilled judoka. He almost became a member of the extreme style in the Tsurumine Academy judo tournament earlier, but was ambushed and injured by his friend Hyakutaro. At that time, Kanon solved the case while cosplaying as a famous detective.

It seems his injury has healed completely after more than half a year, and he's back to his energetic self.

After exchanging a few words with Shindo, Tenkoji turned to pay respects to Mayumi's mother: "So today is the anniversary of Tora-yori's death. Namu."

"Hey, are you here to sell monk's rituals, Baldy Tian?"

"Swish—" Kotaro's foul mouth once again drew a knife, which he, of course, swiftly cut into the blade.

"Selling you my foot!" Tenkoji snapped. "I'm here to ask you something—"

Author's Note: Sorry for the late chapter, I also had some resignation-related matters to handle today. In a few more days, I'll be able to resume four updates a day this weekend!

And again, there won't be many romantic storylines in this book. Things might calm down after this part of the story, so whether you like it or not, you don't need to worry too much about it...

My head is still foggy today, so I hope this chapter isn't too full of typos or too messy. Please forgive me. I'll try to write another free chapter this weekend.

Section 460, Chapter 454: Cemetery & Shura Field

"woman?"

Although Teruhiko Tenkoji is a bald guy, teased as a monk by Kotaro Shindou, the first thing he talks about is women—truly magical realism, haha!

Of course, that's not what he meant. What he meant was: "Yes, the woman's age is unknown, but she's definitely not a student; her hair is almost knee-length..."

Kotaro continued picking his ear: "So you only think of me when you see a woman with long hair? Baldy, I think you have something wrong with your head."

“No,” Tenkoji said seriously, “That woman is quite beautiful, so only her hair is similar to Shindo’s (Koutarou: Hey!). However… someone who can approach me so silently is no ordinary person, and she has a roguish air about her, and what’s most infuriating is… what’s most infuriating is…”

"Oh, what did he do to you?"

"No, nothing." Tenkoji blushed. There must be something going on! But since he wouldn't say, everyone could only guess at other possibilities.

Mayumi Tose tapped her hand: "Could it be love at first sight?"

Tenkoji immediately denied it: "Nonsense! Who would fall in love at first sight with a loincloth thief like that!"

Pocket, loincloth...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"that……"

Suddenly someone patted him on the back of Tianguang Temple.

"Who!" Tenkoji suddenly turned around, and in that instant, cold sweat poured down his back. Just now he said that as a very strong samurai, there were not many people who could easily get close to him, but when did this person come up behind him? He didn't even notice!

That's Kanon.

Mayumi quickly introduced, "Oh, Tenkoji, this is Hanane, a friend we met last year when we were practicing judo. You've met her before... Hmm, Tenkoji, you seemed to have fainted back then."

"Hmm? Your friend..." Tenkoji was still shaken, and only felt slightly relieved when he heard that they were friends. He looked at Hanon for a moment: "Looks like a master. He managed to approach me silently."

Hanon scratched her cheek: "Come on, getting close to you isn't that hard... Ahem, I wanted to talk about something else." She pointed to a spot not far away: "Was that the woman you were just talking about?"

Following the direction indicated by Hanon, everyone looked and sure enough, a long-haired beauty floated over from not far away. Upon seeing her, everyone stopped in their tracks.

An awkward silence fell over the scene, with only Mayumi's father still weeping bitterly over his deceased wife's tombstone.

However, the reasons for their silence were not the same.

"What...what are you doing here?" It was Kotaro who spoke first, but before he could finish his question, Tenkoji rushed forward in a fit of rage: "Well, you actually dare to come looking for me! Running into you means your luck has run out. Give me back my loincloth!"

The woman remained calm, glancing around before spotting Officer Dusai. A thought struck her: "So that's why today is... Ah, I came here because there are fewer people, and I completely forgot."

Then she looked at Tianguang Temple, slowly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and laughed, "Hehe, so you're not a bald teenager, but a real monk."

"You big-headed monk!" Tianguang Temple was furious and looked like he was about to explode.

"No..." the woman stopped him, "What I need right now is not a monk, but a doctor."

"A doctor?" Everyone scratched their heads again, then the woman pulled out a long piece of cloth, which was clearly the loincloth of Tenkoji Temple...

Before everyone could even finish their disgusted exclamations, the woman soaked the loincloth in water and rinsed it.

"This is..." Hana tapped her hand: "This lady is nice, she wants to wash it clean before returning it to you."

"What a load of nonsense!" Tenkoji shouted angrily.

"Hehe, call me sister, little girl, you're quite the talker~" The woman smiled at Hana, then wrapped a decorative stone ball on a tombstone with a damp cloth strip, and flung it violently—the damp cloth strip wouldn't tear, but the enormous force directly lifted the stone ball up and, under the influence of centrifugal force, shot it straight into the distance.

The woman added, "Young monk, if I am unfortunately struck in a vital spot, I would be grateful if you could perform a ritual to help me pass on to the afterlife."

"I've already said I'm not a monk!" Tenkoji was still furious: "And what vital point did I hit? Who are you trying to send off?"

With a loud "thud!", someone was indeed hit by the stone ball.

It was a blond foreign man wearing sunglasses, who looked quite cool. He was even able to laugh after being hit by the stone ball... However, the blood flowing from his forehead betrayed him, and then he fell straight down. Well, he passed away peacefully.

This man had a companion, also a blond foreigner. Realizing their presence had been discovered, he raised his hand and pulled out a dart, ready to throw it at the group.

But just as he raised the dart, before he could even throw it, everything went black—it was the woman's outstretched legs rushing towards him.

"New Hall Style, Great Suffering Wheel I am!"

With a "crack," the foreign man dislocated his jaw and shattered his cheekbone, and his death was far from peaceful.

The woman hurled stones at him with fluid, effortless movements, clearly a martial arts master with astonishing combat prowess. However, what truly concerned everyone else was elsewhere.

Tenkoji Ichira Kotaro: "Hey, Shindo, I heard her say it clearly. She said 'Shindo-ryu'... Answer me, who is that woman!"

"He's my mom—Pfft!"

Kotaro was hit by a wooden plank thrown by the woman as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You little brat, you always have such a bad memory. Didn't I tell you not to call me 'Mom' anymore?" The woman pointed to herself: "You have to call me Miss Gong Liumei now!"

...Shindo Kotaro's mother, Shindo Kotaro, had been wandering around for many years with an uncertain whereabouts, but she returned to Tokyo at this time, with some strange "tails" with her.

Well, it just so happens that the father of the Duse family is a high-ranking police officer, so the two foreign men who had already arrived were immediately sent to the police station... a hospital under police control, since they were quite badly injured and needed to be treated before being interrogated.
