I'm having fun in Tokyo

Kiyoshi Morikawa quickly floated back a few meters.

"But that would be so boring, Yu-chan. Just let me stay with you, I won't bother you."

"I'll go back when you're asleep."

"Well... that's fine too."

Morikawa Yu put down the Goshuin-cho (a type of official seal) in her hand and did not insist.

My sister used to be a living human being, but she became a ghost due to an accident. It's normal that she doesn't like being alone.

Moreover, he didn't know what kind of environment the Goshuin-cho was in. Although it could nurture his sister's spirit, if it was a blank space, staying there for too long might really drive a person crazy.

He didn't want his sister to suffer like that.

Since I'm just sitting outside anyway, I might as well find something to do.

He thought for a moment, then pulled his sister to her room...

......

the next morning.

Morikawa Yu got out of bed, drew back the curtains, and stretched.

My sister still didn't return to the Imperial Seal Tent yesterday.

He and she found a PS3 in her room and played multiplayer games all night.

Looking back now, his biggest feeling is regret.

He shouldn't be playing video games; he should be practicing kendo instead.

Even a master swordsman will slow down his sword-drawing speed and decline in strength if he doesn't touch his sword for a long time.

"Mmm~ I had so much fun yesterday!"

Kiyoshi Morikawa also woke up. She yawned and floated to her younger brother's side.

"Yu-chan, let's play together tonight too!"

Looking at her sister's beautiful face, Morikawa Yu originally wanted to refuse directly, but the words that came out of her mouth changed.

"it is good"

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Kiyoshi Morikawa smiled and kissed her younger brother's cheek.

She did not stay outside any longer, but transformed into a beam of light and entered the Imperial Vermilion Seal Tent.

Morikawa Yu sighed.

Alas, such a life is so decadent.

Morikawa Yu, Morikawa Yu, you are a swordsman, how could you be so depraved?

The most important thing about swordsmanship is to stay away from emotions; women will only slow you down when you draw your sword!

Stop indulging yourself!

At worst, I'll just play games with my sister from now on; I don't need to care about other women.

He patted his face to cheer himself up, then quickly washed up, went to his room, picked up his bamboo knife, and went out.

......

In the afternoon, Morikawa Yu returned home satisfied.

Near his house, there is a dojo of the Kyōshin Meijō-ryū school.

He did nothing in the morning except go to the dojo and say he wanted to challenge them.

When the master of the dojo saw a young man coming, he thought he was a delinquent causing trouble, so he didn't agree to meet him.

However, Morikawa Yu was very insistent. After thinking about it, the master felt that it would be good to teach him a lesson and take on another student, so he prepared to spar with him.

However, what the master craftsman didn't expect was that he couldn't keep up with Morikawa Yu's speed at all, and Morikawa Yu even put the bamboo sword to his neck.

According to traditional Kendo, one should stop at this point.

The master was stunned for a long time. He disregarded martial ethics and insisted that the man had been hacking randomly, and ordered his apprentices to kick him out.

Morikawa Yu could no longer tolerate this.

He didn't just shoot randomly; he came prepared.

With a single sword technique that allowed him to ride the wind, a forward slash, and a steel-slicing flash, he took down the two students at the front.

The remaining students wanted to gang up on him, this veteran swordsman with thousands of matches, by overwhelming him with numbers.

As a result, he knocked them all down to the ground one by one.

Finally, he advised these people to behave themselves, reflect on their actions, and stop bullying the weak. He then straightened his clothes and prepared to leave, but one of the students wanted to call the police.

The teacher, feeling ashamed, scolded the student, gave him a business card, and wanted to invite him to be a teaching assistant.

Morikawa Yu did not refuse, and was then kindly escorted out of the dojo by the master.

When he got home, he glanced at his status bar and saw that he had gained a total of 60 experience points from defeating the dojo, and his experience bar now showed 60/200.

Judging from the current situation, if I choose three more dojos, I can level up and learn another skill.

Although it seemed a bit slow, he was already very satisfied.

After all, his skills belong to non-human levels of power, completely different from ordinary sword techniques, and are utterly unreasonable.

After finishing practicing the kendo stances, Morikawa Yu pulled out this weekend's homework and started writing it down casually.

After he finished writing, he glanced at the time and realized it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

He put away his homework, tidied up his things, changed his clothes, hid the imperial seal on his person, and waited in the living room.

Around four o'clock, he finally received a call from Maki Hojo.

"Morikawa, I'm near your house now."

"Okay, Ms. Maki, I'll head out now."

He went outside and was surprised to see Maki Hojo's car parked at the door.

He remembered that he had never told Hojo Maki his exact address, and last time he had just asked her to drop him off nearby.

"Ms. Maki, didn't I say where I live? How did you know my address?"

He got into the car, watched as Maki Hojo started the engine, and casually asked a question.

Chapter 23 Questions in My Heart

"I had someone investigate."

She was driving, talking as she turned the car around.

"Morikawa, where is the Akasaka-ya you mentioned?"

Upon arriving in Sakuragawa Town, Hojo Maki slowed down and asked him a question.

Morikawa Yu glanced at the street scene and pointed in a direction for her.

"Keep driving along this street, and you'll see the one with the orange sign."

"Okay, I'll find a place to park first."

The two parked their car and headed towards the Akasaka-ya.

Upon entering the store, he randomly found a clean table at the back, sat down, and picked up the menu.

Hojo Maki was somewhat surprised. She saw some dishes on the menu that she didn't usually see, and they were even Chinese dishes.

"This is the Akasaka-ya you were talking about? Do they sell Chinese food there?"

"Yes, and it's Chinese food that other restaurants don't have."

Morikawa Yu checked the dishes she wanted on the menu.

"After all, the owner of this restaurant is said to be from China, and the deputy manager is a chef who studied in China."

"Then I'll have to look forward to it."

Hojo Maki's eyes lit up.

Upon hearing this, Morikawa Yu shook her head and specially selected some Japanese dishes.

He genuinely didn't think Hojo Maki could get used to Chinese cuisine. After all, the Chinese food that Japanese people are familiar with isn't really Chinese; it's just what Japanese people perceive as Chinese.

After ordering from the menu and having the waiter bring it over, Morikawa Yu stared at Hojo Maki.

She had a hesitant expression on her face just now, and she called him yesterday as well, clearly wanting to tell him something.

"Teacher, do you have a question for me?"

"Yes, there are some."

Hojo Maki spoke hesitantly.

"I tried to convince myself not to care, but after thinking about it all day, I still couldn't succeed."

"I see... Could you please wait a moment, teacher?"

"Eat your fill before you talk about anything, so you can think things through more clearly."

Morikawa Yu gazed into her eyes.

He doesn't like to talk about things before meals, as it affects his mood during the meal.

This was a habit he had developed in his previous life.

In the past, when he was working, if his partner, an old detective, wanted to talk about something and the two of them discovered something suspicious about a recent case while they were talking, then they would most likely not be able to have a meal together.

Therefore, he really dislikes talking while eating.

Hojo Maki nodded silently, which made Morikawa Yu even more certain that she was very nervous.

She wasn't the type to let others dictate the conversation in the past; she preferred to make arrangements for others.

Not long after, the ordered dishes were served one by one.

As Morikawa Yu expected, she didn't eat much of the Chinese food he ordered, but instead ate Japanese food, though not much of it either.

Finally, we finished eating.

After paying the bill, Morikawa Yu and Hojo Maki left the store and returned to their car.

He looked at her and noticed that her gaze was much firmer than before, so he spoke to her.

"Teacher, please ask those questions you were thinking about earlier, and I will answer them truthfully."

"Well."

Maki Hojo took a deep breath.

"Please tell me, Morikawa, how exactly did you become a swordsman?"

Morikawa Yu stared at her face, taking in her every expression.

Although she was much more determined than before, she was still very nervous, gripping the cushion beneath her tightly.

This made him sigh.

Sure enough, as the person most familiar with his swordsmanship skills, she couldn't possibly be indifferent to this matter.

Even though I didn't bring it up the day before yesterday, I still asked him about it today.

Chapter 24 Actually, I'm a Sword Saint!

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"I do not know"

He became a swordsman because of the system, and he couldn't possibly tell her about the system.

And he really didn't lie to her, because he genuinely didn't know why he had obtained the Gale Swordsman System.

Although they are not the same concept, they are closely related.
