I'm having fun in Tokyo

The results were unexpected.

The vanguard member, who was brutally defeated by the vanguard of Fushimi High School, actually won against the second vanguard of Ise High School Kendo Club, and even beat the opponent's middle guard, before finally losing to the opponent's vice captain.

Then Kondo Kaori takes the stage.

The Mibu wolf girl successfully demonstrated her strange determination to "not lose to the vice-captain," directly eliminating the opponent's vice-captain and taking down their general in the process.

Sakuragawa Academy's Kendo Club successfully won the semi-finals and advanced to the finals.

The artist expressed considerable dissatisfaction.

She always felt that Kondo Kaori's gaze was strange, and she didn't get to play in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

On the other hand, Kondo Kaori not only defeated last year's champion Fushimi High School Kendo Club in the quarterfinals, but also won against their vice-captain and captain in the semifinals.

This made her, as the deputy general and deputy minister, feel very insecure.

She asked Morikawa Yu and Maki-sensei to change her position to vanguard.

Morikawa Yu agreed and changed the order of appearance.

He became the general again, Emi became the vanguard, and Kondo Kaori became the vice-general.

After making the changes, he noticed that Otamaru, who was sitting alone in the Ise High School Kendo Club, suddenly stood up, picked up a bag, and walked out of the clubhouse.

He thought for a moment and glanced at the time.

It was a little after 3:40 PM.

The scheduled time for the final is 4 o'clock.

He left his seat and followed.

......

Otamaru walked out of the martial arts hall, took two steps at a time and jumped down the steps at the main entrance of the hall, landing on the ground.

Carrying her backpack, she casually patted her kendo uniform, stretched, and seeing that there were no cars on the road, she ignored the stares of pedestrians, crossed the road, and walked towards the riverbank.

There is a river in front of the Akita Prefectural Budokan. If you walk north along the riverbank for about five or six kilometers, you will reach the estuary.

But she wasn't going to the beach; instead, she was walking along the riverbank with her hands raised high, her hands behind her head, striding along, looking like she was in an extremely good mood.

Because of the shrine maiden's "heartless abandonment" and "placement play", she had to stay in Kyoto for half a month, during which time she suffered from the difficulties caused by the Kyoto shrine master and Morikawa Yu.

Finally, she arrived in Tokyo before Miyu called her back to Ise to prepare for the Kuisei Flag competition.

Only by winning the competition and severing her divinity can she return to the shrine.

She has lost, but she has successfully severed her divinity and accomplished her most important goal.

In any case, she can finally return to the shrine.

I just don't know if Wei Meng is with me.

It would be even better if she were here.

As Daitamaru pondered this, he realized that the surroundings had somehow become completely dark.

The riverbank and the road beside it disappeared, as if shrouded in the darkness of night. A familiar girl's figure stood not far away, as if she had been waiting for her all along, looking at her with a smile.

"I haven't dreamt of it yet." Daitamaru immediately quickened his pace.

“I had just a feeling that you would probably come and secretly watch me and stay by my side, and then you appeared.”

"Because I could tell from your expression that you'd found me," Wei Meng said with a smile.

"However, I'm just following you. If you fail, I won't be able to take you back to the shrine. You'll have no choice but to seek refuge with that human named Morikawa Yu."

Who would want to go and seek refuge with him?

Daitamaru immediately gave her a look of disgust.

"That guy is lecherous, willful, and arrogant. He's too embarrassed to say anything even after helping me. He's not frank at all."

"I don't want to go with him."

Wei Meng: "Fine, fine, I know you're unhappy with him."

"But do you really feel like you're insulting him?"

"Isn't that right?" Daitamaru retorted.

Wei Meng didn't answer, but simply held Dai Yu Wan's hand.

"Whether it is or not, we should go back to the shrine."

"The goddess kept asking me if I had finished fighting and if I had eliminated my divinity. She was worried and wanted to come and see me."

“But I’m afraid that once she arrives, you’ll give up and not agree.”

"Go back and spend more time with her."

Ootamaru: "Really?"

"Why would I need to lie to you?" Wei Meng retorted.

She smiled and said, "Anyway, welcome home."

"I'll go to Tokyo to visit him again when I have time."

......

On the other side, Morikawa Yu followed from a distance, watching Otamaru's figure disappear on the riverbank, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Gone.

It's okay to leave.

This guy's efforts over the years haven't been in vain.

Thinking of the upcoming finals, he turned around and headed towards the martial arts hall.

As soon as Morikawa Yu entered the clubhouse, she headed towards her own rest area, where she was greeted by Emi, whose expression was not good.

"Minister, where have you been?"

Seeing Emi's expression, Morikawa Yu realized something was wrong.

"You've already started fighting, and you've already lost?"

He probed.

He checked the time and followed Daiyu Maru out, leaving himself about ten minutes.

However, the match may start a few minutes earlier.

If the teams are significantly mismatched, these few minutes are enough for the other team's vanguard to take on three or even four opponents at once.

"Mm." Emi nodded shyly.

Seeing Morikawa Yu's strange expression, she quickly added, "Kana also lost."

"Xiang also lost?" Morikawa Yu was genuinely surprised.

Kaori Kondo possesses a strong will.

Although the nature of the determination was a bit strange, it was still a determination, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

How did she lose too?

"The referee is already urging us, Minister, you'd better get ready." Emi tugged at his sleeve again.

"Okay." Morikawa Yu nodded.

He looked towards the field and saw that it was the same referee as before.

Chapter 350 Master, have you forgotten me?

Huijian added another sentence.

"The kendo club of Ritsubo High School is across the street."

"We just defeated their striker, second striker, center forward, and vice-captain."

"Now only the opposing general is left."

"That's okay." Morikawa Yu nodded.

“Huijian, you stay here and don’t move. Minister, I’m going to take care of the general on the other side.”

He put on his protective gear, and the club manager helped him fasten his helmet.

Kondo Kaori brought over the bamboo sword.

He took the bamboo knife and walked onto the field.

As soon as the referee saw him approaching, he shouted, "Players, take your positions!"

Morikawa Yu nodded, stood in the middle of the field, and glanced at the Ryūnami High School Kendo Club on the opposite side.

A member from the Rippō High School Kendo Club also stepped out and came to the center of the field; he must be their star player.

He was initially curious about who had defeated Kondo Kaori, since Kondo Kaori possessed "Determination" and had a status boost, making her an opponent that most people couldn't defeat.

But he immediately realized that the other party was also determined, and looked very familiar, named "Hatsubud".

This reminded him of his apprentice, Keiko Takeda.

Keiko Takeda's determination was also "Hatsubud".

This... can the same determination be applied?

Isn't this something that depends on experience and understanding? It should be very difficult to replicate, right?

Or.......

Morikawa looked at the other person suspiciously, only to find that the other person had taken off their helmet.

"Huizi!?" He was startled.

The girl who took off her helmet had bright eyes, a radiant face, and long, beautiful black hair tied in a single ponytail. She was dashing and beautiful; it was Keiko Takeda.

Holding her helmet in one hand and the bamboo sword at her waist with the other, she bowed to Morikawa Yu and called out in a clear voice, "Master."

It's really her.

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment before realizing that Takeda Keiko was a student at Tokyo Ritsurami High School and had also come to participate in the Kui Xing Flag competition.

If it were her, Emi and Kondo Kaori would indeed likely be no match for her.

"Master, you seem somewhat surprised?"

After the girl finished her greetings, she looked at her master and suddenly realized something, her eyes becoming somewhat resentful.

"Master, you haven't forgotten about me, have you?"

"I participated in the competition too."

"How could that be? Of course I remember!"

Morikawa Yu immediately denied it.

"I didn't expect you to make it to the finals. Keiko, you did a great job, a great job indeed."

Huizi is right.

If he hadn't seen her now, Morikawa Yu would have forgotten that his apprentice had also come to participate in the Kui Xing Flag competition.

"Then why did you just tell Emi that you were going to 'eliminate' the opposing general? Although I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'eliminate,' it probably isn't a nice word, is it?"

"Did I do something wrong that angered or displeased you, Master?"

Keiko Takeda looked at him cautiously.

"Ah, nothing like that." Morikawa Yu shook her head. "I was just joking with Emi, why did you take it seriously?"

While comforting his apprentice, he turned to look at the players' seats behind him.

Emi and Kondo Kaori were both watching him.

He turned around and looked at Keiko again.

Huizi nodded: "Yes, disciple understands, Master."

"This disciple understands everything."
