Female Swordsman Training Dojo

"Alright, I'm still recruiting disciples anyway, but..."

Harunobu certainly wouldn't mind taking in the Tachibana family mother and daughter; they're both SR-rank disciples! However, his disciple roster is already full, and even temporarily removing Yoko wouldn't be enough. Besides, Yoko is just an ordinary person; removing her would cut her growth rate in half, which is a bit excessive.

Just then, the system's mechanical voice rang out.

Chapter 136

The prompts bombarded Harunobu's brain, but he was already used to it. He immediately changed the words he was about to say, "However, learning swordsmanship takes time, so don't be too impatient," to "However, even though you and Yuzu are both talented, the tuition fees can't be skimped on."

"Yes! Normal!"

Naoko Tachibana immediately changed her tune, and Yuzu Tachibana echoed in a childish voice, "Yes~ Teacher~"

No one noticed the sly glint in Xiaoyouzi's eyes.

Chapter 131: Boarding School

At the Aozora Pavilion, two lanterns swayed in the night breeze, elongating and drawing the shadows of Harunobu and the Tachibana family mother and daughter together.

"Is this the Aozora-kan?" Yuzu nestled in Nako's arms, gazing curiously at the magnificent building before them. Harunobu nodded, "Yes, it's very impressive, isn't it?"

"Super~ impressive~"

Yuzu raised her hand and spoke in a childish voice, but her movements seemed to unintentionally squeeze Naoko's ample breasts, creating an alluring shape, which made Harunobu look away in embarrassment.

"Alright, come on in." Qingxin opened the door. "But are you really sure? You want to stay here and study all day?"

Juyouzi's eyes widened, and a hint of grievance appeared on her delicate, pretty face: "Don't teachers' colleges welcome you?"

"How could that be?" Qingxin couldn't help but pinch that alluring little face. "I wish all the disciples would concentrate on studying here. Anyway, my house is quite big."

“But…” Harunobu looked at Tachibana Nako, “Will this be okay for your lives?”

Nako pursed her lips. Compared to her naive daughter, she understood Harunobu's worries much better—it was simply about making a living. Although she couldn't come up with 1,000 yen to pay off her debts, taking a break from work for a few months wouldn't be a problem.

"Don't worry, teachers' college, we'll be fine."

As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the Richun Dormitory.

Inside the hall, the group that heard Harunobu's footsteps all looked towards the entrance, their eyes lighting up with joy. But their expressions quickly turned to surprise and panic upon seeing Tachibana Nako holding Tachibana Yuzu.

“Master…husband?” Hirayukiko was the first to step forward and immediately took Harunobu’s hand. “And this is?”

Harunobu, of course, noticed Hirako's little scheme. Amused, he didn't intend to play a prank. Instead, he took her hand and introduced her generously: "This is Mrs. Tachibana Nako, and her daughter, Tachibana Yuzu. They've come to our dojo to learn swordsmanship and will be staying here from now on."

"This is my wife, Hirako, who is also the head teacher of this institution."

A beautiful smile bloomed on Hirako's face: "Hello, Mrs. Tachibana."

Nako Tachibana smiled and returned the greeting: "Hello, Mrs. Taira... Teacher's Representative."

"You can call me whatever you want." Hirako blushed slightly and hugged Harunobu's arm even tighter.

The kitten then came up as well. She had met the Orange family mother and daughter before, so she was the most composed: "Long time no see, Mrs. Orange, and Little Yuzu."

Good evening, Kitten-san.

Good evening, Cat Sister!

Seeing familiar faces, Tachibana Nako relaxed even more, and the atmosphere became harmonious. Just then, Koneko suddenly spoke up again: "By the way, I'm now the wife of a teacher too~ Nice to meet you."

Nako Tachibana's smile froze.

No, could it be that all the people living here are Taira no Harunobu's wives?

Especially when Amu Hosho quietly walked to Harunobu's left and took his other arm, she looked in horror at the two remaining seated people. At the table, No-Brain and Unhappy were stuffing daifuku into their mouths with tense faces, not wanting to say a word.

Teacher's College, are you being exploited by them? Why haven't you made a move on us yet? Do you expect us to... Ugh, so annoying!!!

"Heh...hehe, teacher training is quite popular, isn't it?" Tachibana Nako subtly took two steps back, but to those present, the action was quite obvious.

Hirayuki and Amu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this really wasn't Harunobu's kept mistress... Mainly, Tachibana Nako's intimidating presence was too strong; the heavy weight on her chest felt like it was pressing on their hearts, making them tense. After all, someone always made a point of attacking there, making no attempt to hide this fetish.

And there are even people so much bigger than me... How did they grow like that? They're not even as tall as me!

At that moment, Amu Hojo and Sachiko Hojo's minds merged, and they had the same thought.

At this point, what could Harunobu say? He couldn't very well say that his wives loved him too much, so he could only silently change the subject.

"Alright, let's introduce it slowly later. While we still have some time, let's do some basic training first."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Nako's attention was indeed drawn away, while the others, though casting disapproving glances at Harunobu, did not disturb him and simply followed him to the main dojo.

Then another small problem arose: none of the kendo uniforms carried by Aozorakan suited Tachibana Nako. Even the oversized, loose-fitting ones that Hirayukiko usually wore couldn't hide her ample bosom. Instead, the loose kendo uniforms created a noticeable curve on her.

"..."

For the first time, Hirako understood how the kitten usually looked at her.

In the end, they could only let Tachibana Nako temporarily wear her regular clothes to practice Water Breathing with Harunobu.

Yes, it's Water Breathing. Not Thunder Breathing.

On the way back, Harunobu had already checked the stats of his two new SR characters:

Name: Tachibana Nako

Gender: Female

Age: 24 (not a mistake)

Height: 153

Weight: 96

Measurements: 110 70 86

Talent: The highest virtue is like water (like water, it embraces all things, possesses an indomitable spirit, increases mental stability by 30%, and increases the learning efficiency of water-attribute swordsmanship by 100%)

Affection: Friendly

With such a magnanimous talent, if you don't learn Water Breathing, you can't exactly learn Thunder Breathing, can you?

The only problem is that this way Harunobu can no longer leave the teaching duties to Sachiko and slack off on his own.

However, it's not a big problem. SR learners are very efficient and will soon be able to practice independently without Harunobu's help. He just needs to check on them periodically to prevent any mistakes.

Harunobu switched to Water Breathing and gestured for Tachibana Nako to come closer, since Water Breathing was much quieter than Thunder Breathing.

"Come on, can you hear me? Try to follow the rhythm of this breathing."

"Yes, that's right, you really are talented."

"Slow down a bit...don't rush, yes...take it slow."

Harunobu is no longer the pushover he once was; the many students he's had recently taught have significantly improved his teaching abilities. Therefore, under his patient guidance, and given Tachibana Nako's natural talent in this area, she quickly got into the swing of things.

However, it seems like we entered the game a bit too quickly.

Seeing the hand that had already pressed against Harunobu's chest, and the pair of full breasts that were only millimeters away from Harunobu's chest, the eyes of the three of them, including Hirako, sharpened again.

However, this was important business, so they didn't disturb them. But they did notice another problem—although Tachibana Nako and Harunobu have no relationship now, things might not be the same in the future.

While a husband shouldn't lay a hand on a married woman, there shouldn't be any room for testing the waters in this matter. It's decided; I must keep a close eye on the teacher's college.

The three were lost in thought, while Tachibana Nako remained completely oblivious, absorbed in learning the breathing technique. She didn't even realize that the distance between her and Harunobu was becoming dangerous.

The author says:

Author's Note: I realized I forgot to mention yesterday that the eleventh form of Water Breathing is called "..."

"凪", but my input method can't type this character, so I'll just use "沚" instead. Please be aware (ノへ￣、).

Chapter 132: Yuzu's Thoughts

To reiterate, unlike Thunder Breathing, Water Breathing is much quieter. Just like the difference between the sound of thunder and the sound of water, unless deliberately unleashed, the volume difference between Water Breathing and ordinary breathing is not significant.

This meant that Tachibana Nako had to get very close to Harunobu in order to hear his breathing rhythm clearly. Moreover, with the help of her talent, she smoothly entered a state of immersion, instinctively adjusting and optimizing her learning methods.

So, just like Hirako had done before, she placed her hand on Harunobu's chest, using the rise and fall of his chest to better familiarize herself with his breathing rhythm. However, this inevitably brought her close to Harunobu, although instinct kept her at a certain distance, preventing her from bumping into him.

But the height difference between her and Harunobu meant that Harunobu could easily see the view inside her neckline simply by lowering his head slightly. Those full, rounded breasts, the deep, bottomless cleavage…

Harunobu maintained his Water Breathing technique, his mind as still and clear as a mirror. Yes, this was all to help Tachibana Nako master Water Breathing quickly—it was a serious teaching instruction!

That's why, although Hirako and the others looked at Harunobu coldly, they didn't interrupt him. They were just thinking that maybe they could work together again tonight. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to leave the energetic teacher outside.

Time flowed by quietly.

However, Tachibana Nako didn't possess the extreme lightning-attribute talent of Hirako Sachiko, and thus wasn't able to master Water Breathing so quickly. Instead, she was mentally struggling to keep up, having received a lot of information today.

He was being harassed by the Yakuza for debt, discovered a monster that resembled his enemy, and finally decided to give up his business and learn swordsmanship from Harunobu. Then he was shocked by Harunobu's family situation.

However, as her concentration waned and she was forced to break free from her immersive state, Tachibana Nako realized the distance was an issue. Feeling the hard chest beneath her hand and the heat she could sense even through her kendo uniform, she immediately jumped back like a startled rabbit.

A blush inevitably crept onto Tachibana Nako's round face. She nervously rubbed her hands together, not daring to look at Harunobu and the others. Harunobu could only smile helplessly; anything he said at this moment would be inappropriate.

Fortunately, the wife, who already had a six-year-old daughter, calmed down after a short while and patted her chest. This unconscious action triggered a bloody storm; Harunobu was once again caught by Newton's Second Law, but this time he had an accomplice.

Hirako stood tall and blocked Harunobu's view.

"that……"

"Orange..."

The two women spoke at the same time, only to be interrupted at the same time, falling into silence.

Harunobu hugged Hirako's waist and joined the conversation, breaking the silence: "Mrs. Tachibana, what are your thoughts?"

Naoko Tachibana bit her lip and said shyly in a low voice, "Um, Teacher, could you please let me try... that, the Thunder Sword?"

After all, this is the swordsmanship that Aozorakan is most famous for right now. Having snapped out of her immersive state, Tachibana Nako "rationally" wanted to learn the most powerful swordsmanship. But she also rationally knew that doing so would be extremely impolite, since normally such powerful swordsmanship would only be passed on to loyal disciples!

However, Harunobu was neither surprised nor felt it was impolite, because every disciple who came to him to become his apprentice initially wanted to learn Thunder Breathing. But they would soon discover that it was not something that just anyone could learn.

"Then, Master Shifan, I'll leave this to you."

Harunobu chuckled and patted Hirayuki's slender waist. Having already reached the ultimate level of Thunder Breathing, Hirayuki was fully qualified to teach others the basics of Thunder Breathing. Besides, their earlier encounter had indeed left him a bit irritated, making further contact inappropriate.

Under Nako's astonished gaze, Sachiko walked up to her, and a thunderous roar erupted.

"Come on, try it the same way as before."

As Hirako spoke, she now exuded the authority of a teacher's representative. Tachibana Nako also closed her eyes, trying to listen to the rhythm of Thunder Breathing. But the outcome was inevitable; her talent didn't lie in this area, and she herself quickly realized this.

Unlike Water Breathing, which evokes an instinctive feeling upon hearing it, Thunder Breathing left her completely bewildered, unable to grasp any key point. Even after obtaining consent and pressing herself close to Hirako's face, she made no progress whatsoever.

In the end, she could only accept it with despair.

"Don't be so discouraged," Harunobu comforted her. "The Water Sword is no worse than the Thunder Sword, and it suits you better."

However, as one might expect, this kind of talk wasn't very effective. After all, the general public already knew that "the Thunder Sword is the strongest swordsmanship of the Azure Sky Pavilion."

Qingxin couldn't force her to believe him, so she could only change the subject: "So, Xiaoyouzi, what do you want to learn?"

"Hmm..." Yuzu stared with her adorable big eyes, looked at Harunobu, and then at her mother, "Can I learn Thunder Breathing?"

"Yuzu—" Tachibana Nako wanted to scold her daughter; this was too rude.
