Female Swordsman Training Dojo

"And Mr. Saten and Mr. Hanazawa, you two should know the effects of cooperation better than I do. If you're still unwilling to meet in person, then how about we, Aozorakan, take a share?"

"Regarding the specific plan above..."

Nako casually pointed to people's heads, outlining various cooperation routes, and even picked up a pen and paper to write out cooperation proposals and hand them over. Those who received these proposals all had strange yet delighted expressions.

Finally, there's nothing more to say.

Nako Tachibana naturally became the president of the Tachibana Company, the highest-ranking member of the newly established Clear Business Alliance, second only to Harunobu, the lifetime representative director.

"Well then, let's call it a day. Everyone should go and find their lodgings. There's no rush for the rest."

"Yes!" the parents responded excitedly. "Nice to meet you, President Tachibana!"

The crowd dispersed.

Nako Tachibana walked confidently toward Harunobu, but her body became more and more hunched as she walked. By the time she reached Harunobu, she had reverted to her former soft and gentle wifely appearance.

"Teacher's College," Tachibana Nako called softly. "How about we change the president position to someone else? How about Sachiko, the substitute teacher?"

Author's Note: This chapter is 4K2, so I won't break it down; it's basically a two-in-one story. By the way, you'll never guess the true nature of the Tachibana family mother and daughter www—it's not your average dual-soul relationship. I came up with this idea while looking at some strange yokai information; I don't even know if that yokai was made up online.

Chapter 158: Mom is still a virgin!

As the crowd dispersed, the parents went to find their temporary base in Asakusa. They couldn't possibly stay at the Aozora House; firstly, the Aozora House didn't have enough rooms to accommodate over a hundred people, and secondly... looking at their daughters standing around, they didn't want to be third wheels, and they were even more eager for Harunobu to win over their daughters as soon as possible.

The young ladies, finally freed, approached Harunobu with wicked grins, only to scatter in fear at the imposing gaze of the Demon Master. They were immediately caught and sent back to the main dojo to practice swordsmanship. Now, Taira Sachiko was furious. She had initially thought these women genuinely loved Harunobu, but it turned out they were mostly using him to avoid an arranged marriage.

Teacher training colleges offer a clearer perspective.

Hirako went to discipline the female disciples, while Hijikata Souji and Tanaka Yuya came out of the now crowded main dojo and stopped beside Harunobu: "Master Hirako, do you know what you just did?"

"The prototype of a zaibatsu, you mean this, right?" Harunobu certainly knew what had just happened. This kind of business alliance was normally quite normal, just a normal cooperation between companies. But after Tachibana Nako's manipulation, this alliance actually created independent positions that had power over the other companies.

This is the prototype of a large conglomerate.

"You actually knew that..." Hijikata Souji was a little surprised, as she knew that Taira no Harunobu only had an elementary school education. "But that's good, just be careful not to be blinded by money."

"I thought the young lady of the Matsudaira family wouldn't even look at this kind of thing," Harunobu said. When it comes to zaibatsu (financial cliques), these former daimyo who have become noble clans are the real behemoths.

"That woman in your house with those huge breasts is really hard to ignore." Hijikata Souji paused, then added, "By the way, how about I get involved?"

"Let's talk about it another time." Harunobu picked up the tangerine that was sneaking away from him. "I have other things to do now."

"Alright, but I'll just add one more thing: don't forget about the Demon Dragon Society and Gui Yancheng."

Harunobu nodded and watched Tanaka Yu and Hijikata Souji leave. Then, Harunobu patted Yuzu's bouncy little bottom and said meaningfully, "Yuzu-chan, we have to have a good talk today."

The parents' meeting at Qingkong Hall had been going on for quite some time. The sun was gradually setting in the west, casting its light behind Qingxin and stretching his shadow into an eerie shape. Tachibana Yuzu pouted pitifully, tears welling in her eyes, "Teacher, it's wrong to kick someone after they've served their purpose."

"Oh, you even know idioms?" Qingxin rubbed her cheek. "Then do you know what 'better to wrong than to let someone go free' means?"

Yuzu thought about it seriously for a moment, then looked up at Harunobu.

Chapter 168

Her innocent, large eyes revealed a purity untouched by knowledge.

Qingxin didn't explain to her, but just patted her head: "Now think carefully about how to make it up later. Maybe I won't ask you anymore once you've made it up."

Carrying the yuzu jam, Harunobu returned to the Nikhun Dormitory.

Amu Hojo and the kitten have returned, but Nako Tachibana is not there; she's practicing Water Breathing with Sachiko Hira at the main dojo. Currently, the four most hardworking people at the Aozorakan are Harunobu, Yoko Saten, Amu Hojo, and Nako Tachibana.

The order of the rankings is not significant.

The most significant improvements were seen in Amu Hojo, Nako Tachibana, Yoko Saten, and Harunobu.

The ranking is in order of importance.

Unfortunately, Harunobu has too many things to do, so he has less time to practice compared to Yoko. Moreover, Yoko still has a lot of room for improvement, while Harunobu has less room for improvement.

After placing the oranges and pomelos on the dining table, Harunobu looked intently at the six-year-old boy.

Her rosy, chubby cheeks were puffed up high, her bright, watery eyes darted around mischievously, and her small, delicate nose was covered with a bit of dust from when she sneaked away, making her both adorable and endearingly naive.

Because Qingxin placed her on the dining table, she remained kneeling, her soft body ramrod straight. Her two small, white, plump feet were pressed down by her little bottom, revealing only a small section of her reddish forefeet and ten round, smooth toes that looked like tiny pearls.

He looks like an ordinary kid.

But ordinary children can't do what she did.

"Little Yuzu, confess and you'll be treated leniently." Qingxin pinched the cute little face. "And don't try to fool me with those things you told the kitten before."

Juyouzi stared wide-eyed at the kitten: "Little Cat Sister, you actually betrayed me!"

“Amu did it too,” the cat said calmly. “Besides, we never said we were going to keep it a secret from this guy.”

“Uh…” Tachibana Yuzu remained silent.

Amu Hosho added, "In the end, if it's really for her husband's good, there's no need to hide it from him."

"Ugh..." The oranges and pomelos were completely ruined.

Harunobu delivered the fatal blow: "Besides, judging from the situation just now, you lied to the kittens and the others as well."

"Quack!"

Juyouzi let out a strange cry and collapsed into Qingxin's arms, her eyes tightly closed, looking as if she could no longer get up.

Qingxin silently stretched out two fingers and pinched her little nose. A few seconds later, Xiaoyouzi struggled to sit up.

"Alright, stop fooling around. We have a lot of things to do right now." Qingxin rubbed the little thing's head. "At least say something that will put my mind at ease."

"For example?" Yuzu looked straight at Harunobu, who was deliberately looking down, and tilted her head.

“For example, your true identities, and your real targets.” Harunobu continued to rub Tachibana Yuzu’s head, the delicate feel making him reluctant to let go. “If possible, please also tell me about Mrs. Tachibana’s strange behavior just now.”

“Hmm…” Tachibana Nako lowered her head, pinched her chin and began to think. “Okay, I can say something, and I promise I have no ill intentions towards the teachers’ college or the people at Aozorakan.”

"Alright, then please begin your performance."

Harunobu moved away a little, but Tachibana Yuzu stuck her head over, so Harunobu had to sit back down and continue rubbing her loli-like hair.

Tachibana Yuzu squinted her eyes with enjoyment and began to confess: "First, Mom's goal was indeed revenge, and my goal was indeed to let Mom live a peaceful and happy life. Moreover, I think it would be best if I could be with Teacher's College. Uh, Little Cat Sister, your gaze is so piercing."

Harunobu chuckled and used his free hand to lift the kitten into his arms, then began to rub its head with a smile, successfully dispelling the kitten's jealousy.

"Then, secondly, the way Mom looked just now wasn't her true nature, but another version of herself sleeping inside her. That person is very troublesome. Normally, Mom and I wouldn't let her out, but Mom wants to defeat so many competitors, and having the strongest breasts alone isn't enough, so we have to make her an indispensable woman for the teachers' college."

"She's incredibly good at making money; it's thanks to her that my family was able to pay off our previous debts."

Qingxin raised an eyebrow: "Dissociative identity disorder? Or dual-soul syndrome?"

Juyouzi chuckled and shook her little head: "Neither~ but the truth can't be told yet."

Seeing the tension on Tachibana Yuzu's head, Harunobu didn't press further: "Is there anything else?"

“The last one.” Yuzu laughed even harder, striking a mysterious pose as if she wanted to whisper something, but before Harunobu could lean in, she blurted out, “Actually, Mommy is still a virgin~”

"what?"

"what?"

"You were adopted? No wonder..."

"Pfft pfft~" Tachibana Yuzu raised her hands and made an X. "No, Yuzu, I stayed in my mom's belly for ten months before I was born. But I can guarantee that my mom is still a virgin, she still has her hymen."

Harunobu felt his head was spinning: "Wait, so you mean that even though you are Naoko's biological child, born from her womb, she is still a virgin? And what about the husband she wants to avenge?"

Yuzu squinted her eyes: "That's right, and 'Dad' does exist, and he really is my dad, but Mom is a virgin. Absolutely, a virgin who has never had sex."

"So, teacher's college, now you should be interested, right?"

Harunobu vigorously ruffled the brat's head, messing up her smooth hair: "All I want to know now is what kind of riddle you're spouting!"

“Torture is illegal, you know, Teacher’s College,” Yuzu said pitifully. Haruno couldn’t help but rub her little face again, feeling a little soft-hearted.

Neither the kitten nor Amu Hosho gave any warnings, which means that Yuzu Tachibana is most likely not lying, and may even be hiding something. But since he and everyone at Aozorakan have no ill intentions towards him, Harunobu doesn't care.

As for trying to match him up with Tachibana Nako... that's not something she can decide.

"Alright, that's fine. But don't cause any more trouble after this," Harunobu warned. "It's really a hassle."

"Yes! Normal!"

Juyou answered loudly, and the tension on her head finally turned into relaxation.

Harunobu rubbed the cat's head thoughtfully, then suddenly said, "Speaking of which, you and Mrs. Tachibana aren't monsters, are you? A virgin giving birth is just too bizarre."

"How could that be!" Yuzu turned her head away angrily. "If Mom and I were monsters, you would have died several times over by now!"

Harunobu smiled as he looked at the "fear" above Tachibana Yuzu's head.

"Yes, yes, I know, it was just a joke." Harunobu looked into Yuzu's eyes. "Please forgive me."

"Hmm... If Shifan is willing to stay with Mom, it's not unforgivable." Tachibana Yuzu looked very angry, but her head had already returned to Harunobu's clutches.

“I have no objection,” Harunobu said. “After all, she is a beauty, but Mrs. Tachibana was very loyal to her deceased husband. Such a person would not fall in love with someone else, would she?”

“Leave it to me!” Tachibana Yuzu puffed out her chest happily. “Mom will definitely agree.”

"Hmm... Let's wait until after we deal with the Demon Dragon Society. This matter has been dragging on for far too long."

“But we can’t finish this quickly now… Ah, this is troublesome.” Yuzu pouted, but didn’t throw a tantrum. She knew very well that she couldn’t act recklessly when it came to important matters.

"So we need to work even harder." Harunobu patted the kitten, who was comfortably falling asleep. "Kitty, how's the intelligence gathering going?"

"Almost there." The kitten licked its lips. "The Demon Dragon..."

Chapter 169

The location where the association's leader is hiding should be found soon.

The author says:

Author's Note: This chapter is 3k words, making it 7k words in total, so that counts as three chapters. I'll see if I can write an extra chapter tonight. I can't do any more now, or I might not have enough for tomorrow's update. Also, she's a virgin wife, but she has a child. Maybe I can go to the Church and claim to be the Virgin Mary? ( ) And please give me some monthly tickets! I have the best chance of getting the monthly ticket ranking reward this month. Only five days left, hang in there!

Chapter 159: This trip alone was for nothing

The rain stopped, the sky cleared, and the Demon Dragon Society was forced to go out.

They didn't want to go out at all. Although that old idiot Ryuichi Suzuki had somehow produced several hundred men, the Demon Dragon Society, with its thousand or so men, had been routed by Taira no Harunobu before. Now, with so few men, they hardly felt safe. However, they were no match for Katsura Gensei's soldiers, so they could only leave the office once again, carrying iron bars and steel pipes.

Then, hesitantly, he tried to collect protection money.

"You! Yes! It's you! Where's your monthly allowance?!"

"No?! You fucking—uh, well, then, there isn't any."

That's roughly the scene. Even when demanding money, besides being arrogant in tone, they didn't dare to wave their weapons around, for fear that a woman with a knife might jump out at any moment.

Yes, Suzuki Ryuichi said that the people at Aozorakan no longer have the authority to arrest people, but they don't want to use themselves to verify whether it's true or not. Even if it's true, what if those women go crazy? Or what if Taira Harunobu goes crazy?

Those in the Demon Dragon Society who were capable, willing, and ready to fight are already in detention centers or even hell. Those who are still free are either high-ranking members who don't need to be on the front lines, or they might dare to fight, or be able to fight, but are definitely not willing to. You could say the Demon Dragon Society is actually dead; it just hasn't been buried yet.

Of course, Ryuichi Suzuki knew these good-for-nothings had no chance of collecting protection money. But it didn't matter, because they were just bait to lure away the troublesome guerrillas under Harunobu's command. The real deal was done by the soldiers hiding further away.

And everything went exactly as they expected. When the cannon fodder bait started making a racket, the guerrillas who were patrolling nearby immediately rushed over. Although they didn't draw their swords because they no longer had the authority to make direct arrests, just seeing them running towards them made the Yakuza cautiously take two steps back, ready to flee at any moment.

The reason they didn't immediately turn and run away was because of the "newcomers" behind them.

"Tanaka-kun, it's time to go." In the alley, Sergeant Sato chuckled and said, "It's time to make those stupid women realize that they can't fight like men just by wielding a knife."

Corporal Tanaka chuckled and chimed in, "Speaking of which, those women are quite pretty, aren't they? How about... well, it was the Yakuza's doing anyway."

"Hey hey hey..."

The soldiers, dressed in tank tops like the Yakuza, revealing their bare arms, exchanged lewd glances. The discipline of soldiers in this era wasn't much better than in the Middle Ages, especially among officers from the old samurai class or even the new Han Chinese.

Sergeant Sato peeked outside and saw that the bait was ready to surrender. He shook his head. They'd been easily swayed by a few women and a few words. Yakuza were indeed Yakuza; this was how the lower classes behaved.

He withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and waved it downwards: "Let's go! Remember, we are now the Yakuza of the Demon Dragon Society!"

"Haha~"

“kora~”

The soldiers shouted incoherently and charged forward, following Sergeant Sato and Corporal Tanaka.

The once harmonious street suddenly descended into chaos, with pedestrians screaming and scrambling to the sides. The Yakuza, who were already preparing to flee, seized the opportunity to slip away, while the Bracers, too lazy to care about these decoys, all turned their attention to Hanazawa Nana and Saten Yoko at the front.

Although the teachers' college said we can't act recklessly now, we can still defend ourselves if attacked, but we still have to listen to the captain.
