On a calm, slightly hot weekend afternoon, the cicadas chirped loudly and noisily.
The garden of Kamiya's house.
Tsurumi Aoi holds a wooden sword in her hand and practices sushi in the shadow of the red maple tree in the yard.
"Ah——"
"Hum——"
The girl's gloomy eyes looked persistent and focused at this time, and the knuckles of the hands that were clenching the handle of the knife were slightly white from the exertion. The high ponytail swayed slightly behind her head with the movement, and her hair was translucent.
Tsurumi's attitude towards kendo practice has always been meticulous.
But today is not the kendo practice day as originally agreed.
It has been almost half a year since Tsurumi became a disciple of Kamiya, and now he often comes to Arakawa on his own initiative.
When Kamiya is free, he will give extra guidance to this hard-working second disciple. If he is not free, Tsurumi will train independently at the teacher's home.
If you stay late, stay overnight in senior sister's room.
By the way, you can also learn the relevant theoretical knowledge of spirit control with your senior sister in the evening.
Today, Tsurumi Aoi has become accustomed to such a daily routine.
When she arrived at Kamiya's home today, the teacher had something to do, and the wolf and Inugami happened to be exchanging combat skills in the basement.
Tsurumi went to the courtyard by himself to practice kendo.
After another group of Suzhenqi, the girl felt a little tired. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and stopped briefly to rest.
At this time, Tsurumi Aoi saw her junior sister, wearing a white loose T-shirt and shorts, wandering out from the other side of the yard.
Today, senior sister seems to be taking a rest.
"Xiao Kui!"
Kanoya approached Tsurumi excitedly.
The two girls are both Kamiya's disciples, and they often eat and live together. In addition, they have fought side by side more than once, so it is better that they have become close to each other early on.
The relationship between classmates is harmonious and harmonious.
But having said that, sometimes Tsurumi still finds it difficult to deal with her senior sister because of her excessive energy and out-of-touch personality.
"Xiao Kui, are you done with Su Zhen? You have been practicing for a long time?"
"actually, I……"
"Let me tell you a joke, what I just saw!"
"Sister, I'm not over yet..."
"It's very interesting, listen to it, listen to it."
Tsurumi Aoi:......
It’s so dazzling and has such a strong desire to share.
Seeing that his junior sister relaxed slightly, Lu Yewu raised the tip of his nose slightly and snorted: "If you laugh, you will go out with me to buy watermelon in a minute!"
She knew that the junior sister had been wielding the wooden sword here for almost an afternoon, and it was time to take a rest.
Facing the senior sister's enthusiastic suggestion, Tsurumi Aoi sighed slightly: "Senior sister, if your joke is not funny, I will hit you on the head with a wooden knife."
Tsurumi has always respected his senior sister.
But for some reason, she didn't feel anything was wrong when she blurted out this sentence.
On the contrary, Xiaolu was stunned.
It's really strange, why can even Xiaokui now say something like "knocking me on the head" as a matter of course?
This one...can be regarded as being led astray by the master, right?
But Kanoya was still very confident in the joke he was about to tell, and immediately patted his chest: "I just discovered that I have a talent for speaking rakugo, so, deal!"
"Ahem!"
She cleared her throat, moved closer to Tsurumi, and naturally put her hand on Tsurumi's shoulder.
Tsurumi had become accustomed to his senior sister's intimate contact and did not object to it.
"So -" Xiao Lu deliberately lengthened his voice a little, "Xiao Kui, do you know what the British call people without bodies or noses?"
Tsurumi reluctantly cooperated: "What's your name?"
"Hmph~" Xiaolu happily raised the hand on Tsurumi's shoulder, "Nobody knows!"
Very pure Japanese English pronunciation.
After shaking off the baggage, Kanoya excitedly glanced at his junior sister's face, only to find that Tsurumi's expression was extremely helpless.
"Eh? Look, Xiaokui. The body is the body, the nose is the nose, and together they are..."
Xiaolu just thought that his junior sister didn't understand the clever point of his joke, so he explained it, trying to regain the effect of making people laugh.
It’s just that before the explanation of the joke is finished, in Xiaolu’s sight, the shadow of the wooden knife in the junior sister’s hand has already covered the top of his head...
jingle--
The sultry summer wind blew, causing the wind chimes on the eaves to jingle.
"Ouch!"
The wooden sword just knocked lightly on the top of Kanoya's head, which was nothing more than a meaning.
But the young senior sister's temporary dream of speaking rakugo was dashed.
…
Eternal life.
Flower Ling Gui School.
Kamiyagawa, who had just placed Takihime in the Jijyu Hospital, was not in a hurry to return to reality. He first went to Takamagahara to ring the bell to inform the medicine seller to come to discuss matters, and then went down to the exclusive martial arts field.
After groping around for a few times in the [Mirage Bag], Kamiya then pulled out a strange-looking Odachi sword.
The knife is four feet and five inches long, with a slightly curved edge.
The blade as a whole has a very strange fluorescent green color, shining slightly.
What's more worth mentioning is that the entire blade of the knife is actually in a state of fragmentation, made up of hundreds of pieces pieced together. There are densely packed tiny cracks on the blade, which don't appear to the naked eye.
Very strong.
The name of this sword is [Hotumaru], and it has an appraisal rating of "Super Epic" in "Kaitan Monogatari".
It is the reward obtained after completing [Encountering Demons·Nine].
This mission was completed. In addition to the fire pill, Kamiya also received two Takamagahara pass tokens.
"Try the quality of this weapon."
Holding the handle of Hotumaru's sword, Kamiyagawa raised his hand and waved forward with a thought.
Buzz!
The green-gleaming Odachi struck down with a buzzing sound, but the blade instantly burst into pieces.
Hundreds of irregular metal shards spread and danced like fireflies on a summer night, rolling into sharp green light and roaring towards the direction of Kamiyagawa's sword!
Buzz!
Kamiya stopped his hand, and the hundreds of blade shavings that flew out like fireflies whirled and flew back, quickly rearranged themselves back on the hilt, and condensed into a broken blade.

This newly acquired Yingmaru can be regarded as a famous sword with great reputation.
According to legend, it was forged by the swordsmith Lai Kunijun. It was the sword of Aso Asumi, the tenth generation head of the Aso family during the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Japan, so it was also called "Aso Hotaru".
It is said that in the Battle of Tatarahama, the Aso clan of the Southern Dynasty faced off against Ashikaga Takauji and others of the Northern Dynasty. As a result, the clan collapsed due to the appearance of a large number of traitors, and the then head of the Aso clan committed seppuku.
However, Aso Weicheng, who was a concubine of the Aso family at the time, did not give up even after being defeated. He continued to fight with the enemy with his Odachi. In the end, he was injured and had cracks on the Odachi and was forced to retreat with the remaining troops.
After Aso Weicheng and his party retreated to the residence to take a rest, Weicheng stood his Odachi leaning against the wall because he was worried that there were still pursuers, and then fell asleep due to his heavy body.
