You say this is a love game?

The Sword Soul Girl couldn't understand what this magical power was, but it didn't stop her from being shocked.

Mizutani Makoto's aura suddenly became much stronger. Not only his physical fitness, but also his spiritual power increased suddenly. It was obvious that he had also included the lower-ranked Satori Yoshiko.

"This is also my combat mode when facing a strong enemy."

Makoto Mizutani needs to explain the matter of "Enlisting the Gods to Descend" to Chidori.

Daohun curled his lips: "Then why did you say such strange things just now..."

She is a weapon, born to fight, and has no scruples when it comes to the topic of fighting.

If Makoto Mizutani really used the "Command the Gods and Descend the Spirits" combat mode, then she would not go against Makoto Mizutani... Whether standing on the standpoint of the "sword" or the standpoint of the "Shikigami", she would have to side with the sword master.

Well, as long as he doesn't go crazy.

Mizutani Makoto: "I was a little impatient."

Chidori glanced at him, then tacitly kept a distance from him.

But after having breakfast at the Mizutani family, the relationship definitely eased a lot.

The girl floated up into the air, turned her face away, and raised her chin at a very arrogant angle.

"Although I don't know how you managed to sign a Shikigami contract with me... I can't deny that, aside from your dual-blade style being a bit of an eyesore, I'm willing to acknowledge your talent as a swordsman. At least you have enough courage, unlike those gutter-dwelling bugs."

Chidori, she seemed to be disgusted by Kitajima En.

At the dinner table, when Mizutani Makoto asked Chidori about it, he also heard Chidori's evaluation of Kitajima En, and learned about some of Kitajima's shameful deeds, such as murder, assassination, and the extermination of entire families. In order to conceal his tracks, he even killed all the women and children who passed by...

Chidori is the Thunder Blade, a symbol of the majestic power of heaven, the Blade of the Thunder God. Even though the "Eight Thunder Gods" attached to her are more inclined to invite the Yin Thunder of destruction and death, the essence of "thunder" does not change. She naturally despises those despicable and scoundrels. If she really encountered such a sword master, it would be better to self-destruct and save herself from torture...

And with Kitajima En, the black glove of the Yajima family, in front of her, when she looks at Mizutani Makoto now... at least, this guy's character and courage are enough.

She said solemnly, "Now, I am indeed your Shikigami. I will cooperate with you in battle, but... as for the matter of the Sword Master, hmph, I will not recognize you so easily!"

Mizutani Makoto nodded without any particularly dramatic reaction.

"understand."

"Man and sword are a two-way journey. It's not just me who chooses you, it's you who chooses me."

Seeing that Mizutani Makoto could say this, Chidori's brows immediately relaxed.

"It's good to know."

She muttered softly.

Mizutani Makoto seized the opportunity and said, "Of course. In fact, whether it's a pair of swords or a single one, to me, each one is unique and a reliable partner in battle... I don't want to treat you as a tool, but rather as a comrade, so that we can fight side by side."

Mizutani Makoto was not wrong.

He is a nostalgic person. Most of the items he sells to Iben Tatara are [Kendo Apprentice's Katana] that he has never used since they were revealed. As for the [Mizutani Family's Kitchen Knife], after Brother Kitchen Knife retired honorably, he still keeps it well. Even though he no longer uses it to cook, he will still help maintain it from time to time to commemorate his young and immature days.

The sword is the swordsman's companion!

Although he tends to be the Uchiha orphan in terms of appearance, Mizutani Makoto is also the kind of person who can shout about friendship and bond while beating up the boss.

Besides... the young man muttered quietly in his heart. Even his possession ability required a high degree of tacit understanding between the two parties. Before, he and Kako were in sync with each other, and there was no pressure in summoning spirits. But now with Chidori's appearance, the degree of compatibility was definitely lower than Kako's.

Chidori was suspended in the air, moved by someone's "sincere" words. Her purple eyes glanced slightly and fell on Yoshiko's innocent face.

Blue and purple sparks flashed and crackled between the ends of her hair.

Chidori slowly floated down from the sky, hummed softly, and then sat down at the dining table rather stiffly.

"Don't think you're being nice... I don't care. Someone who can't be devoted to a sword lover wouldn't say such nice things."

"But since you said that, you'd better remember what you said."

Mizutani Makoto nodded quickly.

Mizutani Makoto looked at Satori Yoshiko, and Satori Yoshiko looked at him. The man and the Shikigami looked at each other in silence, as if they both knew what was going on.

Mizutani Makoto/Satori Yoshiko: Is this woman so easy to deal with?

Yes.

Little Lucky God Bag is a caring little cotton-padded jacket. It seems that she is being very close to Chidori, but in fact, she is also thinking about helping her silly son to get a new partner!

This is the passionate bond between her and her big brother!

"You have to become stronger!"

"Ah."

"As my sword master... No, you are not yet! If you want to become my sword master in the future, you must become famous and be respected by future generations!"

"Yeah, coincidentally, I'm also very vain."

Mizutani Makoto's excessive obedience and compliance weakened Chidori's tone.

She looked a little unnatural, and her tone was awkward: "Also, don't even think of putting me together with those ordinary people."

"Ok?"

"...I'm not really willing to give it to you, but I'm your Shikigami now, so it's only natural for me to fight for you."

At this point, the Sword Soul Girl's tone finally hardened a bit, and she snorted disdainfully: "When you want to use me, be more conscientious and put away those garbage. I won't allow you to hold me in one hand while holding another knife in the other!"

"Cough cough..."

"what do you mean?"

As if sensing someone's funny mood, Chidori immediately showed signs of breathing out of stress.

"No problem, I agree with it!"

Mizutani Makoto raised his hands to show his absolute respect.

"Although I majored in Niten Ichiryu, the foundation of Dual Blade Style is Single Blade Style, so I also have some knowledge of Single Blade Style... Especially after experiencing the previous battle, my understanding of Single Blade Style has become deeper."

"Besides, Chidori Maru is a nodachi, and it's a full six feet long. I can't hold Chidori Maru in one hand and perform a dual-sword style. That would be self-destructive."

This is a very realistic problem.

Chidori Maru is nearly two meters long. It is okay to use it with two swords for single-sword style, but it is definitely not suitable for dual-sword style.

The reason is the difference in length between the two blades.

The length of a normal katana is about two to three feet. Mizutani Makoto's two katanas are considered long, but they are only half the length of Chidori Maru, which leads to a significant difference in the "attack range" of the two.

In front of the two-meter-long Chidorimaru, the katana in his left hand could not keep up with the attack range at all. Not only could it not assist Chidorimaru in attack and defense, but it would get in the way and seriously delay his swordsmanship.

According to his understanding of kendo, Chidori Maru can only be used in two ways.

First, hold it with both hands.

Secondly, he found an extraordinary large sword. He held a large sword in each hand, with matching attack ranges. He used his unrivaled divine power and unrivaled swordsmanship to insult all the exorcists in the entire exorcism circle.

When you can dual-wield the Odachi and swing it with great vigor, any sword master will be nothing but a traitor in front of you!

Chidori raised her chin, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a very satisfied arc. The lightning on the earrings slightly accelerated its rotation, showing that the girl was in a good mood.

She continued, "It's good that you know this. The so-called dual-sword style... Humph, with all due respect, the dual-sword style is a complete waste of time. Even if you're practicing the 'two heavens and one flow', it's just a bluff. In actual combat, it can't compare to the time-honored single-sword style."

"Your kendo foundation is so good, why not just switch to single sword style? I bet your kendo will become even stronger if you switch to single sword style."

However, Mizutani Makoto, who seemed to obey her in every way, shook his head for the first time: "That won't do."

"why?"

Chidori glanced over.

Mizutani Makoto said with emotion: "This is the passionate inheritance and bond between Musashi and me."

It was Ertian Yiliu who saved the weak and helpless him, and he happened to fall in love with Ertian Yiliu Wangba Kanluodou, and planned to pass on this powerful martial art.

inherited?

Bond?

The sword spirit girl's purple eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about his words.

This guy is quite loyal...

"Fine... whatever you want. You chose your own path. Go ahead if you want. It has nothing to do with me."

She extended a slender finger and pointed at Mizutani Makoto: "But if I find out that you have deceived me in any way, or have acted contrary to this conversation, I will let you experience the true punishment of thunder!"

Mizutani Makoto smiled and said, "Thank you, Chidori."

At this time, Chidori realized one thing.

The Sword Soul Girl looked away.

This guy is pretty good looking...

Moreover, when she was in a calm mood, she seemed to have a strange "patience" towards him.

...That's right!

As long as she is not in a state of stress, Chidori will always subconsciously calm down when she hears Mizutani Makoto's voice, and listen to what he says patiently. At the same time, she subconsciously feels that... the words coming out of his mouth seem to be quite credible?

What's this strange feeling of "familiarity"?

——【Innocent Heart】

Chidori has a bit of the characteristic of "sharp tongue but soft heart". She openly dislikes someone again and again, but she is a believer in "pure love" after all. Since someone got on the bus first and paid for the ticket later, she just accepted it and planned to observe this guy's "capacity" first.

He was able to beat Kitajima Yan, so he can’t be too useless, right?

Even if it's really that bad... as long as there is no problem with the character, she will accept it!

At worst, she could just start the hellish training and turn him into the "hero" that she envisioned him to be.

It was precisely this awkward mentality that made Chidori less hostile towards Mizutani Makoto. She was even very aware of her status as a shikigami, and as long as Mizutani Makoto didn't do anything excessive, it was okay for her to cooperate with this bastard...

If someone knew about this, they would probably sigh inwardly and say, "What a tsundere good girl."

But it was precisely this rather honest thought that allowed Chidori to perfectly enter the special attack zone of [Innocent Heart].

As someone who has no ill will towards Mizutani Makoto and is even naturally close to him, that person's charm, which has nowhere to go, is waving wildly like tentacles, eager to show off his dazzling presence.

"...something's wrong."

Chidori narrowed her eyes slightly, noticing something unusual.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong.

She didn't sense any fluctuations in spiritual power, and her mental state didn't seem to be bewitched... She stared intently at Mizutani Makoto's profile, then quickly pursed her lips and looked away.

What’s the point of being good-looking!

As a swordsman, practicing kendo is definitely more important!

If she cared about looks, she wouldn't have searched for a suitable sword master for many years and ended up being trapped by Bei Dao Yan!

Chidori stopped thinking about things she couldn't figure out.

Humph, she couldn't possibly drag Mizutani Makoto down and ask him, "Hey, why is your face so pretty? Did you spray some aphrodisiac perfume? Why do I find you so friendly?"

Bah! She would rather blow herself up right there in front of Mizutani Makoto!

The perspective falls on Mizutani Makoto.

The boy was in a good mood as he had successfully resolved the issue of Chidori joining the gang.

"Rest well today, and then go to the crevice to practice your sword skills in the evening."

I got new equipment, and it’s a super-large cup artifact that is highly suitable for my profession.

Makoto Mizutani really wanted to find a wooden stake in the crevice and try to hurt it.

Especially Chidori's Shikigami panel... hers is indeed hers, but if he and Chidori perform a "God of Service and Descends", won't he be able to experience all the skills in Chidori's Shikigami template?

He really wanted to experience the output of "Eight Thunder Gods and One Sword" to the fullest, or even nine out of ten points!

But he still held himself back.

Chidori felt very unfamiliar with the changes in the environment. As the sword master of Chidorimaru, he could vaguely feel Chidori's inner uneasiness.

Yes, after sleeping for nearly a hundred years, she had to pretend to be calm and "negotiate terms" with him when she woke up, trying to retain her dignity after being contracted as a Shikigami... Although Chidori concealed it well, Mizutani Makoto could still see that this girl really wanted to "negotiate" with him, and her overall mood was like a startled cat in an unfamiliar environment. Now was the moment when she needed to be comforted.

Give her some time to relax, there's no need to rush.

"Give me a break too."

I just finished fighting with Kitajima Yan!
