The straight back sitting posture and the clear eyes make this old man not look that old.
At this moment, he saw his daughter kneeling in front of him.
Knowing that she had something to talk to him about, Miyajima Kiichiro smiled softly, "Xiaochun, is there anything you want to say?"
"Hmm~"
Knowing that his father was not one to enjoy small talk, Miyajima Tsubaki asked directly, "Father, have you ever seen anyone use the "Swallow Return"? "
The finger that was stroking the album paused, and Miyajima Kiichiro's smile faded a little:
"What do you ask for this?"
Without waiting for her to answer, Miyajima Kiichiro continued, "Do you still remember when you were in school, I asked you to come back and get engaged?"
Hearing her father talking about this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Miyajima Tsubaki's mature and charming face, and then she nodded and said, "I remember."
Nothing else was said.
Kiichiro Miyajima pushed the photo album in his hand in front of Tsubaki Miyajima and pointed at one of the photos.
This photo is a group photo of the two of them.
One is my father when he was young.
The other one... um, looks familiar...
Although I didn't know him, from his facial features, he looked like the father of the young man who was engaged to him.
Seeing his daughter staring at the photo, Miyajima Kiichiro took a sip of tea and said:
"I don't remember telling you."
"This guy is my childhood friend who grew up wearing the same pants as me."
"We are old friends with their family. My father, your grandfather, and this guy's father are brothers in life and death."
"They had an agreement at the time that if their future children were a boy and a girl, they would get married."
"I heard from your grandfather that it was a very serious matter at the time. They even wrote a marriage certificate to each other. I still have the marriage certificate."
Pointing to a box on the bookshelf next to him, Miyajima Kiichiro continued:
"If their children are all boys or girls, let them continue the marriage contract when they grow up."
"So, there was your incident."
Chapter 59: Rebellious Girl Miyajima Tsubaki
Hearing her father talking about that incident again, Miyajima Tsubaki lowered her head like a little girl who had made a mistake and said nothing.
She was young and energetic at that time, and her temperament was different from the gentle and soft one she has now. She had the fierceness and rebelliousness that ordinary warriors have.
She was only 16 years old at that time, the age when she was disobedient and acted recklessly.
So at that time, I suddenly found out that I had a fiancé whom I had never met.
He had a big quarrel with his father, Kiichiro Miyajima, on the spot.
The reasons for the quarrels are nothing more than "I decide my own future" and "You can't decide my future at will" and so on.
At that time, Kiichiro Miyajima had a bad temper.
Hearing his daughter's rebellious words, he slammed the table and yelled, "You have to marry whether you want to or not, because you are the daughter of the Miyajima family."
Faced with a father who was so determined and left no room for negotiation.
Miyajima Tsubaki, who was originally hesitating whether to obey her father and break up with her new boyfriend, suddenly got angry.
She knew it was not easy for her father to raise her alone, so although she disobeyed discipline and often quarreled with her father, she rarely disobeyed.
But when it comes to an argument, once you get too excited, there is no rationality left.
What's more, that was the first time her father yelled at her.
So after the two sides quarreled endlessly, Miyajima Tsubaki, who absolutely did not want to obey her father's wishes and marry someone else, went to find her boyfriend, whom she had just been dating for less than three days, with anger in her heart.
That is her current husband, Miyajima Muneshige.
In order to anger his father, his father later arranged a meeting with the elders on the opposite side.
Miyajima Tsubaki brought her current husband, holding a pregnancy certificate, and placed it on the table in front of the two elders.
After that, the elder had a big quarrel with his father.
Miyajima Tsubaki can't remember exactly what they quarreled about, but she vaguely remembers words like "You don't keep your word" and "This is how you insult our family."
Then the elder took her fiancé, whom she had never even seen, away from their home.
After that, she never saw the elder again.
And faced with such confused behavior of his daughter.
Kiichiro Miyajima was also very angry at the time. He was in his prime and was almost suffocated by anger.
But now that things have come to this, he can't just break his daughter's legs and throw her away.
So she had no choice but to accept this son-in-law who got her daughter pregnant while she was still in school.
Of course, it was impossible for him to give away the kendo field passed down from his ancestors without any conditions.
So Kiichiro Miyajima put forward a condition at that time.
As long as that guy can beat his daughter in swordsmanship, he will give him his dojo as a dowry.
Otherwise, he would marry into the Miyajima family.
This was not only an opportunity given to him by Kiichiro Miyajima, but also an opportunity for him to know whether his daughter really liked him.
After all, the Miyajima family is not a powerful kendo family.
But because of their relationship with 'Sasaki', their Miyajima school is not much different.
Therefore, unless his daughter lets him off, with that guy's kendo level, there is no way he can defeat his daughter who has been practicing sword since she was a child.
As long as her daughter gives in, she is determined to go all the way, which shows that she really likes him.
Then it would be fine for Kiichiro Miyajima to give the kendo hall to that guy.
As long as he can be nice to Xiaochun and not let her suffer any grievances.
After all, no matter what, Xiaochun is his only daughter.
But what touched and disappointed him was that Xiaochun did not hold back at all during the fight.
Of course he understood that his daughter didn't want to embarrass him by causing him more bleeding.
After all, it is a kendo field that has been passed down for generations.
But it was precisely because of this that Kiichiro Miyajima became even more embarrassed.
Because of the choice Xiaochun made, her future happiness was completely cut off.
In this country, it is very damaging to a man's dignity for a husband to take his wife's surname.
Even if they don't have any conflicts for the time being, there will definitely be cracks in their relationship later.
What's more, the cause of all this was Xiaochun herself.
So when the two got married, Kiichiro Miyajima foresaw that one day Miyajima Sosuke would reject and hate Kotsubaki.
Just like now.
Although I don't know the specific situation of the two of them.
But from the fact that they have only had Sakura as their daughter for so many years, the love between them is obvious...
Life is made up of one choice after another.
When answering multiple-choice questions, the most taboo thing is to change the answer before the result comes out and be indecisive.
If Xiaochun had insisted on her own ideas and had not turned back until she hit a wall, she might have lived a much better life than she is now...
I sighed inwardly.
Miyajima Kiichiro lowered his eyes, looked at the old face reflected in the dim tea, and said: "I don't know why you suddenly asked "Yan Fan"."
"But if we talk about who can do the "Yan Fan", it must be their family. The young man who was engaged to you at that time is the only surviving descendant of that swordsman, although no one has mastered it for many years."
"Forehead……"
After hearing the news, Miyajima Tsubaki, who was kneeling on the ground, had a blank mind. She opened her mouth but suddenly found that she didn't know what to say.
The son-in-law that she had her eyes on was the son of her ex-fiancé... This...
But compared to these, another piece of news is more important, but...
Miyajima Tsubaki was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell her father.
Seeing the hesitation between his daughter's brows, Miyajima Kiichiro took a sip of tea and asked, "Why? Is there anything else?"
Biting her lower lip and hesitating for a moment, Miyajima Tsubaki lowered her eyes and said softly, "Today when I went to Chiakurako's house, I ran into..."
He described in detail how he met Sasaki, and their conversation and battle.
Miyajima Tsubaki lowered her head, not daring to look at her father's expression.
But when he raised his eyes slightly, he could see his father's slightly trembling body and the tears that dripped from time to time.
Feeling the suppressed sadness of my father.
Miyajima Tsubaki lowered her head even more, almost burying it in her chest.
Although it is not stated explicitly.
But from the fact that Sasaki's grandfather had passed away long ago and that Sasaki had never seen his grandfather, we can know the time when Sasaki's grandfather passed away.
Perhaps the most fundamental reason is not her.
But at this moment, in Miyajima Tsubaki's heart, the reason should be attributed to herself.
If I wasn't so impulsive... If I was calmer...
Miyajima Tsubaki's heart was filled with regret caused by her father's silent sorrow.
This made her feel more and more guilty.
I know that my old friend has not been in good health.
I had been worried for a long time, but because I hadn't received any news, I was just worried.
When he heard the bad news suddenly told by his daughter, Kiichiro Miyajima still felt dizzy despite being somewhat prepared.
However, the incident had happened a long time ago, so even though he was sad, Kiichiro Miyajima did not lose his composure too much.
Looking at his daughter kneeling in front of him, full of regret, Miyajima Kiichiro's eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Is he...his grandson okay now?"
My old friend's son and daughter-in-law have died in an accident.
No matter what he said, nothing could happen to his only grandson.
Otherwise, if I go down there, I’ll be scolded to death by that guy…
Recalling the scenes of being scolded and bullied by him since childhood, Miyajima Kiichiro showed a bitter smile on his tear-stained face.
Looking up at his father's slightly hunched back and face that had lost most of its luster, Miyajima Tsubaki bit her lower lip and nodded.
"As long as it's okay...it's okay as long as it's okay..."
Muttering something, Miyajima Kiichiro let out a sigh: "Let's ask him to come to our house someday when we have time. We are his relatives..."
"Ah."
In response, Miyajima Tsubaki moved and poured a cup of tea for her father: "I want... I want him to try to get along with Sakura..."
Miyajima Kiichiro opened his mouth, looking expectant and worried, and sighed with a complicated look in his eyes: "What does Sakura mean?"
"Sakura...didn't object..."
Miyajima Kiichiro, who was traumatized by this incident, was silent for a moment and then said, "As long as Sakura is willing, I have no objection."
"Thank you father."
Listen to the mother's response in the house.
Miyajima Sakura was leaning against the door, eavesdropping on the conversation between her grandfather and mother, her little hands tightly covering her lips, not making a sound.
