Section 841, Chapter 832: The Protected Hanon

"Miss, people need food to survive. You'll get hungry if you don't eat. I've put the food down, but please, please eat something."

After placing the tray at the entrance of the small dojo, the old butler Ito turned and left. In the corridor of the Takakaze family mansion, he encountered his master, Takakaze Kiriki.

"She still won't eat?" Kirito asked, frowning.

The old butler shook his head: "It's been a whole day."

"Sigh..." Kiji sighed deeply, "I told you we shouldn't have let Kanon run wild. Now she's finally put herself in the most dangerous situation."

This tycoon, whose cough once sent shivers down the spines of the Japanese business world, is now nothing more than a doting uncle worried about his niece being in danger, and can only sigh while leaning on the railing.

After sighing for a while, Kirito felt something was off. Normally, Ito would definitely speak up for Kanon, so why was he so silent today? "Aren't you going to try to persuade me?"

Unexpectedly, the old butler's expression was even fiercer than his own: "Why should I advise you? Miss Hanon is going to challenge Miyamoto Musashi this time! I've heard that he's the real Musashi, with extremely high martial arts skills, and he wields a real sword. He treats human life like flies and rotten grass, and he can kill without hesitation. This time, I unconditionally support your decision to confine Miss Hanon to her home, even if I feel sorry for her."

Well, it's already the second day since Kanon and Miyamoto Musashi made their three-day agreement. In another day, it will be the ultimate battle between the ancient sword saint and the modern Valkyrie.

Within just two days, all the martial artists of any caliber in Tokyo, Japan, and Asia had heard of this duel. Heroes from all walks of life began to gather in Tokyo, creating quite a stir! This event might even attract more attention than the battle between Kanon and Piko, because both Musashi and Kanon proved that their strength was superior to Piko's. Some even privately believed that the victor of this battle would be the undisputed strongest in history—ha, what a naive view of the Japanese island nation, thinking that defeating Miyamoto Musashi makes one invincible.

Of course, Miyamoto Musashi is indeed performing very well at this stage, representing the highest level of martial arts in people's minds. Judging from the betting odds, Kanon is always the one who is not favored.

This lack of confidence had a significant impact on Kanon. It wasn't that she herself had a mental breakdown, but rather that the negative sentiment stemmed from those around her. As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. When Kirito Takakaze heard that Kanon was going to fight Musashi, he initially refused to believe that Miyamoto Musashi had truly been resurrected. After learning the whole story, he was nearly scared to death... Kirito, who was urgently rescued by the old butler, immediately decided to confine Kanon to the house and not allow her to go out. This time, Ito also sided with Kirito.

Not to mention them, even Miho rarely said no to Kanon, disagreeing with Kanon risking her life to fight Musashi. This girl racked her brains, using her not-so-bright brain, to stop Kanon: at first she wanted to "drain" Kanon's energy by getting close to him, but then she thought that Kanon's physical strength as a top martial artist was unfathomable, and she had never succeeded before, so there was no way she could succeed this time.

So Mihono unleashed her ultimate weapon: Kanon needed a jacket to withstand Musashi's sword strikes without revealing her underwear, right? Well, Suoh Steel is now Japan's number one steel company. After two years of dedicated management, she has consolidated the industry into a monolithic entity. Mihono made calls and pulled strings overnight, and within three days, no one in all of Japan could possibly assemble a piece of equipment that met Kanon's needs! What? Kanon wants to buy it from overseas? Not to mention whether she can find a source, whether transoceanic shipping can deliver it in time is also a problem.

"It's rare that Miss Suoh is on our side this time. Even if the young lady is angry that we ruined her duel with Musashi, we can still work together to mend her emotions with kindness in the future." The old butler sighed deeply. If he hadn't been extremely worried, he wouldn't have been so determined to oppose Kanon fighting Musashi.

Perhaps it was the old butler's words that gave Yingfeng the courage to confront himself. He slapped the railing and said decisively, "We'll talk about the future later. Even if Hanon hates me for the rest of her life, it doesn't matter. For now, let's just put her under house arrest."

Huh? Wasn't Kanon already under house arrest?

No, no, no. A martial artist as powerful as Hanon is absolutely fearless. Even if the Eagle Wind family arranges three to five hundred burly men as bodyguards in the villa, she can come and go as she pleases. Oliva is known as the freest man in the world, but his strength is already quite far behind Hanon's!

So yesterday, Kirito only gave a verbal warning and used words to force Kanon to stay in the small dojo, but he did not escalate the conflict. He spent the night maneuvering, and now is the time for his "stay-at-home order" to be truly implemented!

"Capped!"

At a single command, the sky above the Eagle Wind family mansion suddenly darkened.

Several cranes, which had appeared out of nowhere, together hoisted steel plates weighing hundreds of tons, sealing off the sky above the villa. Outside the villa, endless piles of sand, earth, and stone formed mountains, surrounding the Eagle Wind family mansion on all sides…

Remember when the five death row inmates attacked, and Kanon sealed Sikorsky in the abandoned building with reinforced concrete? To limit Kanon, Kiriji went even further, mobilizing a construction team of thousands overnight to quietly seal the Takakaze family's villa inside a "super artificial mountain"!

The damage is so severe, at worst we can just renovate the Eagle Wind Mansion again afterward. I have plenty of money, but I can't afford any mishap to Kanon.

“The zenith is sealed off, beyond human capability to break through. If the crane stays here for three days, the agreement between Kanon and Musashi will expire.” Kirito breathed a slight sigh of relief: “But if we miss this opportunity, it’s not impossible for Kanon and Musashi to fight again another day. We can’t keep her confined at home forever. We still need to persuade her not to challenge Musashi.”

This is the bond between people. While Kanon protects other warriors, her family and lover are also working hard to protect her. However, Kanon still has the possibility of defeating Musashi, which means that she has a way to protect warriors once and for all. But they cannot stop Kanon from challenging Musashi forever. All they can do is buy time and try to persuade Kanon to change her mind.

He walked towards the small dojo, but Kanon inside remained silent, probably still angry with him after their little argument last night... He picked up the tray that the old butler had placed at the door, moved the door open, and went in: "Kanon, it's okay if you're angry with your uncle, at least eat your food... Eh?"

The plate fell to the ground, and Takakaze Kirito stared in disbelief. What had he just seen?

He saw nothing.

The small dojo was empty; where was Kanon? Only the practice dummy was placed by the window, its shadow shining out, creating the illusion that Kanon was still inside.

"It's over." Kirito felt a chill run through him: "We can't stop Kanon and Musashi's battle!"

Author's Note: Waaaaah, I'm still trying to write the third update, but I'm not sure if it will happen. Around 6 or 7 pm this afternoon, my right eye suddenly started hurting, like something was stuck in it, but I couldn't clear it out. I've been trying to get it out until now, and my eye is really sore. Maybe it's eye strain... Anyway, I'll keep writing. If there's a third update, then there will be; if not, I'll think about it tomorrow...

Section 842, Chapter 833: Kanon Has Nowhere to Go

Hehe, everyone says that Kanon is freer than the world's freest person, Oliva. It's wishful thinking for Takakaze Kirito to try to contain her with a large-scale project.

On the first day after signing the contract with Musashi, Hanon first argued with Kirito Takakaze, and then faced opposition from Mieko. Hanon immediately sensed something was wrong. While her uncle's attitude could still keep her calm, Mieko's actions were a complete overreaction. By banning all suppliers in Japan from providing goods to Hanon, she actually made Hanon more alert. She noticed even the slightest movement at night, and thus discovered the construction crew working silently outside the Takakaze family mansion.

So, Hanon quietly slipped out of the Takakaze family early in the morning. With her skills, she naturally went unnoticed by anyone. However, the real challenge came after leaving home; where to go next was also a question.

It's obvious that after discovering Kanon's disappearance, Takakaze Kirito will definitely monitor her bank accounts. Not to mention freezing Kanon's assets as her guardian, it would be even more troublesome if he traced her through the credit card information—Kanon doesn't want to get caught up in a family drama.

During the last Kengan Tournament's elimination rounds, it was Kirito Takakaze who opposed and confined Kanon to her home, leading Kanon to run away to Mieko's place. But this time, Mieko has also "betrayed" her, so going home is out of the question. So… going to Garuda? The Wu clan is a martial arts family, born for battle. Garuda has been sending messages to Kanon these past two days to encourage her; she supports Kanon's duel with Musashi. Furthermore, the Wu clan has many skilled fighters and abundant wealth, making it easy to find food and drink for Kanon's training these next few days. It seems like the best option, right?

Pshaw, what are you thinking? Running to your crush's house to stay when you have a disagreement with your lover? Isn't that the behavior of a total scumbag? It's precisely because Miho doesn't support Kanon this time that she has even less of a choice regarding Garuda.

It doesn't matter, anyway, Kanon has a lot of friends and plenty of other options.

How about staying at Shibukawa Goki's place? As a martial artist, Mr. Shibukawa naturally supports the fight between Kanon and Musashi. He can also train with me for the next couple of days, which is a good choice!

...No, Adam goes to Shibukawa Goki's place to train every day, and Kanon has run away from home. Miho will definitely ask Adam about Kanon's whereabouts. Do you expect him to tell you or not? Even if he covers for Kanon at the time, how will he face Miho later? So, in order not to put Adam in a difficult position, let's just forget about it.

As for City Hunter? Hmm, the safety is beyond question, but with Ryo and Kaori's bickering and bickering relationship, it's unlikely that Kanon will be able to prepare for the battle in peace these next few days.

Why not just go stay with Tokugawa Mitsunari? He can't possibly let someone disturb the agreed-upon duel! But Musashi lives in Tokugawa's house, and it's best to avoid meeting before the duel, since kings don't meet beforehand.

So, does Hanon have nowhere else to go?

No, even if all those options are ruled out, Kanon is still the social butterfly with friends all over the world, and she still has plenty of choices.

The father and son from the Shinshin Society have connections and land, so they can make proper arrangements for Kanon; they can also get a bed at Eicho's hospital and help Kanon get some treatment before the battle; their assistant Kotomi's apartment is quite upscale, so they might as well go there, and given Kotomi's identity, Miho wouldn't be able to complain about covering up Kanon's whereabouts...

But Hanon didn't choose any of them; she ran off to a construction site.

That was the construction site of Akemi Souin's newly opened company, the place where she and her fitness group did their "hammer-swinging training".

Well, it's normal for Kanon to go to Akemi's place, but why didn't she go to the Kanadein family, the Royal Sakura Academy, or Mr. Shirogane's gym, but instead came directly to the construction site? What's her purpose here?

Because Kanon's main purpose was not to find Akemi, she wanted to see someone else—Musashi!

It wasn't Miyamoto Musashi, but Musashi Ichiro. Do you remember him? He was a player on the Deimon High School American football team. Thanks to Kanon bringing Eiichi to treat his father, Musashi was able to return to the team in time and help Deimon win the championship.

Now Musashi Iwao has graduated. He didn't go to university but went straight into the workforce. Anyway, his family's construction company has been acquired by Suoh Steel and is now one of the largest construction companies in Tokyo. Musashi Construction Company deserves credit for the "super artificial mountain" that Takakaze Kirito wanted to imprison Kanon.

Did Huayin come to him to demand an explanation?

No, no, Kanon came to Musashi Gen to retrieve something.

"Here you go." Musashi handed the item to Kanon, feeling somewhat awkward. "It's like we're doing something shady, all sneaky..."

There was no way around it; Kanon had created a situation where "everyone was an enemy" around him... Kirito Takakaze and Mieko Suoh possessed immense influence in Japan, usually Kanon's greatest allies, but now they had become his biggest obstacles. Fortunately, Musashi Iwao owed Kanon a huge favor, and his construction team had long been scheduled to build a building for Akemi's new company. Kanon's visit here to secretly hand over items to him was highly discreet, ensuring his whereabouts would not be exposed.

As for what Musashi gave to Kanon, Kanon opened the package and found a soft, shimmering ribbon inside—that was the reflection of sunlight! This ribbon was made of metal, crafted by Musashi according to Kanon's needs, using highly ductile alloys, rubber, and canvas. It had excellent performance, making it difficult to be damaged by swords and blades. Combined with Kanon's strongest defensive skills, she was confident that she could even withstand Musashi's slashes!

When she fights Musashi, this belt is meant to bind her chest... So, Kanon skipped home and secretly handed it over, all to ensure she wouldn't embarrass herself in public when fighting Musashi? If other martial artists knew, they'd definitely criticize Kanon: "Have you even seriously prepared for the battle?! That's—"

"That's Miyamoto Musashi!" a few workers resting by the construction site suddenly shouted.

Hua Yin was startled and quickly turned her head: "Huh?"

The news of her duel with Miyamoto Musashi spread quickly in the martial arts world. How come even ordinary construction workers have heard about it?

"Look, it's Miyamoto Musashi on TV." The worker didn't recognize Hanon, assuming she was Musashi's friend or even lover, so he answered casually, pointing to the TV and letting Hanon watch it herself.

"Oh, it's just TV..." Kanon relaxed. It seemed that she had been too nervous about Miyamoto Musashi. The TV show about his story had startled her.

Wait, something's not right...

After thinking about it for a moment, Hana felt that something was not right. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the logo of the news channel on the TV.

So Hanon quickly went over to take a closer look, and sure enough, the TV was broadcasting the news. The anchor looked incredulous as he announced, "As the report says, Miyamoto Musashi, that ancient swordsman, has started a riot in modern Japan."

what what?

Author's note: I can't go on anymore. I'm just barely managing to finish writing this. Please forgive any mistakes or omissions.

Section 843, Chapter 834: The Musashi Rebellion

Meow meow meow, Miyamoto Musashi has rioted?

Watching the news broadcast on TV, Hanon was incredulous. Musashi was about to have a duel with her, but he didn't seem to care at all and was running around recklessly. Was Hanon really that unreliable?

Uh, Hanon automatically ignored the fact that she had also been outwitting and outmaneuvering her loved ones these past two days, running around and having a blast...

The news broadcast was coming to an end. Fortunately, with the internet so readily available, a quick search on a mobile phone revealed the truth. It turned out that Piko's sudden appearance in the Tokyo sewers had already attracted considerable attention, and his movements after being recaptured became a hot topic for the media. Tokyo reporters were quick to act, and even with Tokugawa Mitsunari's influence, they couldn't completely cover up the news of Musashi and Piko's fight. Before long, the existence of this "Miyamoto Musashi," following his previous attack on the police in the street, once again became a sensation and a hot topic.

After defeating Pike that day, Tokugawa and Musashi had just returned home when they received a barrage of invitations. Various television stations wanted to interview Musashi, which gave Tokugawa a terrible headache. In the end, he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so he randomly pointed to Musashi TV for a live interview—what a terrible choice!

The idea of ​​an ancient swordsman being resurrected in the modern era is truly absurd. This isn't some web novel where you can exaggerate wildly. People won't connect it to high technology like cloning; they'll just assume it's some martial arts master using the name "Miyamoto Musashi" to grab attention. The interview was held yesterday morning, and the host clearly lacked respect for Musashi, asking questions like he was caring for a mentally challenged child. A few words were enough to anger Musashi, and this swordsman is certainly not a mild-mannered or tactful person.

Unsurprisingly, the host was killed by Musashi with a single sword strike—using "sword intent." Musashi then called to Tokugawa and stormed off, and the recording of the program was, of course, canceled.

An illusory blade cannot kill anyone... but that's not necessarily true. At least the host almost had a heart attack and died on the spot the moment he was "slashed." He was unconscious for a while afterward and was sent to the hospital for examination.

So, just as Kanon discovered her uncle was preparing to lock her up in solitary confinement last night, a pair of police officers arrived at the Tokugawa residence, demanding that Musashi come with them to give a statement and explain the situation. This wouldn't normally be a big deal, but since it involved the legendary "Miyamoto Musashi," the police were on high alert and prepared for battle, which Musashi interpreted as a provocation.

Surrounded by him alone, the other side not only refused to surrender but dared to fight back?!

Musashi was incredibly hot-tempered. He neither relied on Tokugawa's protection nor cooperated with the police. He drew his sword and took down an entire squad of riot police! Later, the police sent a better-equipped and more capable special police team, even carrying firearms such as stun guns and shotguns with rubber bullets... but it was still useless. Not only did they fail to capture Musashi, but he also killed two of their men.

The Metropolitan Police Department then dispatched a third wave of troops, this time even bringing out armored trucks, but the result... was just a pile of severed limbs and a few more lives lost.

After that, Musashi disappeared. People only knew that he was wandering the streets and alleys of Tokyo. News reports occasionally showed Musashi being seen strolling around, but the Tokyo police were at a loss and did nothing.

I heard they were having an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with Musashi.

"Ah! Someone's been killed!" After reading this news, Hanon was heartbroken. She was an honest person, and what she had told the headquarters was what she truly felt. If she had seen Musashi attacking ordinary people, she would have stood up to stop him. As a transmigrator who had died once, she sincerely believed that life was precious and should not be arbitrarily taken away by the strong.

"I...I have to go find him." Hana closed her eyes, looking slightly anxious.

Musashi Yan, sitting opposite her, was taken aback: "Who are you looking for?"

"Musashi".

"Huh? Aren't I right here?"

"It's not this Musashi, it's that Musashi."

"What is all this about?!" Musashi Yan was ultimately a person from the outer world and did not know the cause and effect between Kanon and Miyamoto Musashi. He could only watch Kanon leave in confusion... and then return.
