Female Swordsman Training Dojo

The problem is my apprentice!!!

My damn apprentice!!!

Harunobu's anxiety was perfectly conveyed to Hosho Amu, but she also knew very well what she should do.

Instead of fleeing in panic with Shi Fan and waiting for reinforcements, he wanted to kill this damned monster who had made him lose face in front of Shi Fan and seriously injured him.

Moreover, she wasn't just acting on impulse; she genuinely possessed this power—just as she had hoped before entering the teachers' college.

Because she is no longer the single-minded Amu Hojo, but the single-minded Amu Hojo.

No longer is it an uncontrollable force where all thoughts are scattered into a thousand parts and only erupt in times of crisis, but rather it is Hojo Amu who integrates all those thousand thoughts and concentrates them into one point, with a thought power of +1000%!

Previously scattered and unresolved thoughts were now unified and transformed into a single idea.

That means killing the monster in front of you!

Kill that bastard who seriously injured the instructor who fought bravely against twenty-seven monsters for her sake!

A terrifying killing intent overflowed. If Hosei Ichijo were here, he might have been so frightened that his hands would have been trembling uncontrollably, but Harunobu did not feel that way. Instead, he felt much more at ease.

At least the apprentice wasn't stupid, nor was he going to his death.

Amu Hosho's voice, unusually arrogant compared to usual, rang out: "Tenka Harushin-ryu..."

The Red Demon stood up, and Asuka's corpse slipped from its hand.

"A secret transmission without outsiders..."

The Red Demon, as if facing a formidable enemy, pulled his right arm back.

"Tooth protrusion!"

Two loud bangs exploded in the air, and a fist bigger than Amu Hojo's head and

Chapter 112

The straight wooden swords collided, and almost instantly the latter arched up from the middle, cracked, and then broke.

The flying wood chips even scraped a bloody mark on Amu Hojo's cheek, but she simply dropped the useless broken sword and quietly watched the Red Oni, who stood frozen in place.

crunch--

The long-neglected main hall door was pushed open, and Hirako and Koneko led Kujo Ryugetsu in. The tall red demon was startled and fell to the ground.

On its chest, the tip of a wooden knife was embedded in its muscle, shattering completely as it fell to the ground, just like its heart and consciousness.

"Amu, you..."

As soon as Sachiko opened her mouth, she saw Hojo Amu quickly turn around, run all the way to Harunobu who was receiving treatment from Kujo Ryugetsu, squat down with perfect fluidity, hug his head, and kiss him.

They were mouth to mouth, and even their tongues were forcibly inserted.

In front of Hirako.

"Huh?!" — It's a kitten.

"Hosho Amu!" — This is Taira Yukiko.

"Hiss... These young people are really playing fancy tricks." — This is Kujou Ryuzuki, who is healing Harunobu.

Whether it was the kitten, Hirako, or even the experienced old woman Kujou Ryuzuki, they couldn't help but sigh. Only Harunobu, who was forcibly kissed, had a face full of "mmp" (a vulgar expression).

No, sis, what's wrong with you?

My wife is still here!

No, Sachiko, I can't move, but you can!

Why are you just watching!

Author's Note: This chapter is 5K words long, so I won't break it up and let everyone read it all in one go!

However, updating so much without any recommendations really felt a bit crazy...

In short, as usual, I'm asking for monthly votes and to keep reading!

Chapter 108: My Dojo Won't Turn into a Battleground

The paper crane flew back to its starting point. The mysterious witch looked at it in surprise, reached out and pinched it. The moment her pale fingers touched the paper crane, it instantly lost its spirit and became just an ordinary origami.

The mysterious witch's expression grew even more astonished. She couldn't help but raise her hand, but quickly lowered it again and shook her head.

"This is really unexpected. Zhizi was taken care of so easily. I was ready to make my move... Hmm?"

As if she had witnessed something even more unexpected than Asuka being single-handedly defeated by Harunobu, the shrine maiden covered her mouth, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

"What a sinful man... but it's true that outstanding men often have these kinds of troubles."

With a smile on her face, the shrine maiden tapped the paper crane, causing it to flap its wings and fly away. However, this time it wasn't to find Taira no Harunobu, but to find someone else.

Although the outcome of this incident was satisfactory, the process was a bit excessive. Mainly, she did not expect that Ping Qingxin would have such strong power, and that he would use it excessively.

However, regardless of the circumstances, he will fight Asuka Eiko head-on because of her guidance, even if she initially only wanted to find someone to stop Asuka Eiko and incidentally help Harunobu rescue Hosho Amu.

But one thing at a time, she owes someone a favor and must make amends.

Let's start by helping him get better... No, let's not try to cure him all at once. It would be too costly, and that would be too biased towards Hirako.

Haha~

That night, inside the Aozora Pavilion, Harunobu lay on his bed. His bones had almost healed, and his other injuries were also fine. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Although he didn't actually use the Fire and Thunder God Technique 27 times—and couldn't—his body was truly rotten. Under normal circumstances, even if he were sent to a shrine, he would at most die a more comfortable death. Ordinary spellcasters couldn't heal such injuries, not even the master craftsman of Toshogu Shrine.

However, if a dozen or so priests, priests, and even Onmyoji from the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) come over, including the chief priest of the Tōshō-gū Shūshō, then treating such an injury would not be too difficult.

And this was all thanks to the medical support from the government—at least that's what they told Harunobu.

The reasons are quite valid. Although there were no twenty-seven red oni corpses to count as achievements this time, a large red oni that was almost an elite-level creature, plus an evil shrine maiden who abducted a samurai's daughter in Tokyo, was still a great achievement. And the government has always been quite generous in its rewards for monsters.

So after enjoying this meticulous and invaluable treatment, Harunobu was sent back to Aozorakan. To be fair, apart from temporary muscle weakness, he now has no obvious symptoms.

But the problem is muscle weakness.

Harunobu looked around.

Kujou Ryuzuki sat at a low table to the side, drinking tea. She had escorted Harunobu back and was also enjoying the gossip. She was watching Harunobu's side with a happy expression.

The kitten, taking advantage of its small size, lay down by the bed, close to Qingxin's body. Knowing that Qingxin had recovered, it didn't hesitate to hug Qingxin back.

Hirako sat on the edge of Harunobu's bed without hesitation, placing his head on her lap. The familiar fragrance and touch aroused Harunobu's desire, but his muscle weakness obviously couldn't control the corpus cavernosum. This wasn't a problem, as he and Hirako had tried all sorts of positions before.

The only problem is that Amu Hojo is now sitting at the foot of the bed, which is quite close to his corpus cavernosum.

The expressions of these three people were all a bit off. Hira Yukiko was smiling, but she wasn't looking at Harunobu; instead, her gaze fell on Hosho Amu. Hosho Amu was also smiling, but she wasn't looking at Hira Yukiko either. Instead, she was staring at Harunobu's lips, occasionally licking them as if she were reliving the kiss from before.

The kitten seems fine, but you brat, can you please stop rubbing against me? And what's with that weird noise you're making? You're not a real cat, so what are you meowing for?

A strange atmosphere filled the room, so much so that Harunobu was at a loss for words.

Time passed monotonously, and the moon, bored, disappeared into the clouds. Kujou Ryuzuki, who had drunk countless cups of tea, stood up: "Hmm~ It seems the treatment went very well. There were no side effects or abnormal reactions. Well then, Grandma, I'll be going now. Oh, right, although Haruki is very strong, you should still be patient and avoid strenuous exercise recently, as it will affect bone healing. Magic isn't omnipotent."

Kujo Ryugetsu left gracefully.

When the only light bulb left, although candles were still lit in the room, Harunobu felt as if everything was pitch black.

Oh, they were blinded by Sachiko's peak.

"Kitten, Amu, you should go to sleep too," Hirako said calmly. "There's a match tomorrow. Even though my husband can't go, we can't let our guard down."

The kitten raised its head, revealing large, sparkling eyes beneath its messy hair, like jewels. In the process of nuzzling and petting Qingxin just now, much of the disguise on its face had been wiped away.

However, this was not the first time Taira Yukiko had seen it. The kitten was resting at the Aozorakan more and more often, and resting naturally required a bath. The Japanese really have a deep love for bathing, and when it was rinsed by water, the kitten's disguise naturally failed.

So Hirako simply stared at the kitten. Usually, as long as she looked at it like that, the kitten would obediently go back to its room. But today, the kitten just tilted its head and leaned against Harunobu again.

Although nothing was said, the meaning behind this action was already quite clear.

The kitten is no longer satisfied with being a daughter and is preparing for a direct attack.

What? A person with deviant sexual preferences? A pedophile?

The kitten doesn't know~

Hirako clenched her fist under the blanket and looked at Hosho Amu, who smiled back at her this time.

"Don't you, Shi Fandai, also have a competition tomorrow? Don't you need to rest?"

Chapter 113

The kitten perked up its ears, secretly praising the kitten:

What a direct attack! Completely ignoring the "husband" that Hirako had specifically emphasized earlier, she used her own words to fight back. No wonder she's the woman who dared to kiss the teacher directly in front of Hirako!

However, Hirako wouldn't waver because of this level of attack: "I'll just sleep here. I should have moved here a long time ago anyway."

A more direct crushing victory for the empress!

Throughout the entire Aozorakan, and even the entire Asakusa, probably no one is unaware of the relationship between Taira Harunobu and Taira Sachiko. Although they haven't actually held a wedding yet, even the other dojo masters consider Taira Sachiko to be Taira Harunobu's wife, rather than just his senior disciple and mentor.

This is an absolutely formal legal claim!

Amu Hosho's smile faded slightly: "Shihandai, didn't you hear what Kujo Negi said just now? Shihan needs to rest."

No, she just told this perverted samurai to be more restrained.

The kitten muttered to itself, trying to take the opportunity to climb onto Qingxin, but as soon as it moved, its head and paws were grabbed and it was pulled down.

As they attacked in unison, Hirako and Amu looked at each other and surprisingly felt a sense of mutual respect, but this was quickly replaced by tension.

Before the two could exchange anything more pointed and potentially damaging, Harunobu lightly bit the soft flesh below, causing Hirako to straighten her back.

“Amu, little cat,” Harunobu said, “It’s getting late, let’s stop going in circles.”

The two, who had been looking pale because of the first half of the sentence, perked up and watched Harunobu being helped up by Hirako.

Although he couldn't exert himself for the time being, Harunobu was in good spirits and looked great, though his eyes were a little tired. He looked at Neko and Hosho Amu one by one, then leaned on Hirako and asked a question: "What are you two thinking right now?"

Chapter 109: I love you, and everyone else too.

As Qingxin spoke, the room fell strangely quiet, but the atmosphere became increasingly subtle, leaving Mo Nao and Bu Gaoxing, who were eavesdropping outside the door, somewhat bewildered.

What's going on inside? Should they push the door open and go in?

—When Kujou Ryugetsu left, he only closed the door, but he didn't lock it.

Ultimately, Shi Fan, why are you interrupting at this time? Just stay quiet and act like a blockhead, and you'll see Shi Fan and Amu fighting over you. Then you can balance things out, without taking any responsibility and enjoying double the attentiveness and care from both of them!

When they get tired of playing around, they can easily shirk responsibility and claim that they never agreed to anything and never established a formal relationship!

If you step in and clarify the situation at this point, it will only make things worse and won't do you any good!

This simple and easy-to-understand situation was not only something that Hanazawa Nana and Saten Yoko outside the room could think of, but also that of the three people inside. So, while they were exchanging barbs, no one asked Harunobu for his opinion.

They didn't want to pressure Qingxin, nor did they want to risk getting an answer they didn't want.

But to their surprise, Harunobu took the initiative to speak.

This left them speechless. As Harunobu leaned against Hirako without any hindrance, Amu Hojo and Koneko's expressions dimmed slightly.

“Since no one is speaking, I’ll ask a question.” Harunobu said, looking at Amu Hojo, “Amu, why do you like me?”

Harunobu remained direct, disliking drawn-out, back-and-forth exchanges, as such behavior would only erode the existing feelings, and even if they ended up together, they would never have the same initial feeling again—of course, a proper understanding of each other is another matter.

But he and Amu Hosho already knew each other well enough, after all, they had lived together for more than a month.

Hojo Amu looked at Harunobu with surprise, her hands unconsciously clenching and placing them on her lower abdomen and chest as she pondered Harunobu's question.

Yes, why would she have such feelings for the teacher's college and for Qingxin? They've only known each other for a little over a month.

Because he's handsome? Well, it's alright. Although he is indeed very handsome, he's not quite at the level where he can charm everyone just by his looks.

Because he's strong? That's true, it's unbelievable that a 24-year-old samurai could have such strength, but that's not her criterion for choosing a partner. She will respect the strong, but she won't completely obey them.

Because it's a teacher training school? That's even less likely. There are quite a few disciples at Qingkong Hall now, but not everyone thinks that way about Qingxin, just as not everyone is so enthusiastic about improving their swordsmanship.

So, what made her do all these things before and now?

After a moment of silence, Harunobu finally spoke, a hint of disappointment in his voice: "It seems you just..."

"Wait, Teacher, wait for me a moment." Amu Hosho interrupted Harunobu, gripped the wooden sword leaning against the bed, and her expression suddenly changed.
