In the woods outside the manor, when Gao Yuan discovered that the door of the pickup truck was unlocked, Gao Yuan felt a little relaxed. He planned to get in the car first and use the special effect of the "chariot" to see if he could use it.
To further understand the condition of the vehicle so that it can be controlled.
However, just when Gao Yuan was about to sit in the driver's seat, suddenly, Gao Yuan was startled by something, and his body involuntarily stepped back——
Immediately, a white light was seen passing directly in front of Gao Yuan's eyes.
If Gao Yuan hadn't retreated in time, this white light would have hit Gao Yuan directly.
Gao Yuan, who still had lingering fears about this, in this night, although he could not fully see the true face of the white light, the dense silver light shining on it still made Gao Yuan aware -
That seems to be a samurai sword!
Of course, Katana will not take action on his own initiative without any reason.
At the same time as the samurai sword appeared, Gao Yuan saw that the back door of the pickup truck was opened from the inside, and then a figure stepped out from the back seat and walked out——
At this moment, Gao Yuan immediately understood the situation. He had been ambushed!
The fact that the door of the pickup truck was unlocked was not due to the carelessness of the men in black, but because someone had anticipated that after escaping from the manor, if they wanted to avoid pursuit, they would definitely want to seize the vehicle, so they laid an ambush in advance.
this.
Of course, the door lock of the vehicle was unlocked later, in order to let myself relax my vigilance so that I could launch a sneak attack on myself...
Thinking of this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel lingering fear, and at the same time he felt that the nature of the matter seemed to have changed——
If Mitarai Konsou and the men in black who appeared at the manor just wanted to keep him and others alone and did not want to do anything to cause further harm, then the sneak attack just now was obviously aimed at hurting people.
People are coming!
When chasing Mitarai Kyousuke who jumped out of the room window, Mitarai Konsou's sword-drawing attack was just an attack with the back of the sword, but this time, if he hadn't reacted in time, he would definitely have been killed or maimed.
——
The person who took action did not consider the seriousness of the action at all.
In this way, Gao Yuan was greatly puzzled——
What is going on, because of the inheritance, the Mitarai family is not willing to kill anyone?
Regarding this, Takato's nerves were already tense as he still held the katana he had snatched from Mitarai Konsune in his hand, feeling that tonight might be hard to do well——
Because of Hanada Emi's identity, Gao Yuan cannot trust her 100%.
And the Mitarai family doesn't look like a good person either.
What to do?
I have been involved in this inexplicably...
Or is it that Hanada Megumi had not expected such a situation in advance?
I have a lot of thoughts, but no solution at all.
At this moment, while holding the knife, Gao Yuan touched the mobile phone in his pocket with his other hand, took it out, and opened it with one hand.
After looking at the "no signal" sign displayed on his phone, Gao Yuan silently activated the flashlight function of his phone and shined it in the direction of the pickup truck——
Now, we have to wait for the figure hiding in the pickup truck to fully emerge and see who the other person is before making the next step.
At the same time, because Gao Yuan turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone, which illuminated the light in the night, Hanada Emi, who was still in the car trying to start the vehicle, also noticed what happened to Gao Yuan on the other side of the pickup truck.
.
In response to this, Hanada Emi couldn't help but frown, feeling that things were becoming more troublesome——
"Sure enough, just as my father said..."
At this moment, the man in the pickup truck had already stepped down from the back seat and took back the samurai sword that was thrust out of the driver's seat window from the back seat into his hand. He looked at Gao Yuan with a serious expression and silently said
Said——
And this person is none other than Mitarai Konsou.
I saw Mitarashi Konsou sheathing his sword, looking at Gao Yuan seriously and saying:
"Even if I don't hold back, I may not be able to hurt you. It seems that is the case..."
——So, you dare to attack me like this?
Hearing this, Gao Yuan felt depressed. He only felt that the other party dared to take such a bold action just because of a word. How much trust did he have in that person——
And, "Father"?
Judging from the age of Mitarai Konmune, he was at least around thirty years old. At this age, even Mitarai Sho, the eldest of the three Mitarai brothers and sisters, obviously could not be the other's father.
So, recalling what Mitarai Yukina mentioned to him about the current composition of the Mitarai family, could his so-called "father" be the second uncle Mitarai Yukina mentioned, that is, Mitarai Haruka's younger brother?
"but……"
At this moment, before Gao Yuan could think more, Mitarai Konsou continued to speak and said:
"Based on your reaction just now, I admit that Mr. Detective, your ability is not bad, but..."
As he spoke, Mitarai Konsou closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, with a trace of anger in his eyes, and continued:
"I have been practicing swordsmanship for more than twenty years, and I think I have achieved success in my practice. Even if I face a master of this art, I am determined that no one can knock the weapon out of my hand... But today, I took the sword from my hand with nothing for you.
This is a great shame and humiliation!
"However, you were the one who attacked me first, so I refuse to accept it! Mr. Detective, now you and I will compete here again. If you can let me take off the weapon again, I will no longer prevent you from leaving. How about it?"
In this way, Mitarashi Konmune made this suggestion very seriously, but just as he finished speaking, Takato noticed that at this moment, around the woods where he and others were now, there were a group of men in black with flashlights.
Surrounded -
In other words, this also means that he cannot refuse his proposal...
"Do you...seriously mean this?"
Looking at the situation in front of him and seeing that the other party was acting like this, Gao Yuan was speechless and helpless, so he could only ask this.
"I swear by the sword."
Very solemnly, Mitarai Konsou affirmed.
In response, seeing the current situation, Gao Yuan silently looked around, and then noticed Hanada Emi and the others——
They seemed to have encountered difficulties in trying to start the car. After confirming that they could not successfully start the car, Hanada Emi and Mitarai Kyousuke had no choice but to get out of the car and looked at Takato with some worry.
Now the only hope of leaving here is Gao Yuan.
Seeing this, Takato had no choice but to look at Mitarai Konsou again. Seeing that his expression was still serious and firm, Takato had no choice but to nod——
"good."
Simply, Takato agreed to Mitarai Konsune's suggestion, and then he took back his cell phone, held the katana in his hand with both hands, and placed it directly in front of him, tilting it upwards at about 45 degrees.
Put on a posture.
In response to this, Mitarai Konsune also took a stance, but unlike Takato, his katana was not unsheathed. Instead, he placed it on his waist and prepared to draw the sword with his backhand.
And just like that, after waiting for a long time, seeing that he was still planning to start with the "draw the sword" posture, and that he remained motionless after taking the posture, Gao Yuan's expression moved slightly, his steps slowly moved, and he started
Trying to figure out what distance is best to keep from the other party——
After all, I haven't encountered this kind of start yet.
If I have to say it, Tie Zhuyu only rarely used it a few times when he was practicing with Tie Zhuyu.
But Tie Zhuyu basically takes the initiative to attack, instead of being like the Mitarai Konsou in front of him, who gets into a stance and then stops moving. This is completely forcing himself to take the initiative to attack.
In this case, what should we do to take his sword?
Recalling Mitarai Konsou's proposal, Takato felt that the other party was a bit of a cheat, and it seemed that he had no intention of confronting him head-on——
If you don't even draw your weapon, how can you knock it down by yourself?
However, such thoughts did not last long.
When Gao Yuan moved his body, tentatively, and stepped into the opponent's attack range, he saw that the opponent still did not move. Suddenly, Gao Yuan's thinking completely changed——
There was no extra thought. Just after confirming that the other party had no desire to take the initiative to attack, Gao Yuan intuitively let go of the katana in his hand, letting it fall at will, and then synchronized, Gao Yuan took a step
He stepped forward and arrived in front of Mitarai Konmune. He stretched out his hand directly towards the katana hilt still in the scabbard in Mitarai Konmune's hand!
Since you don't draw your sword, then I will!
Without giving Mitarai Konsune any time to react, Gao Yuan, who was still in a tentative posture, had directly arrived in front of Mitarai Konsune. Such a close distance made it difficult for Mitarai Konsune to take the initiative to draw his sword——
Seeing this, Mitarashi Konsou couldn't help but feel horrified. He didn't expect that Takato could still be like this.
But now that the matter has come to this, Mitarai Konsou will not be completely unresponsive. Years of practice have allowed him to react quickly enough. Taking advantage of Gao Yuan's failure to succeed, Mitarai Konsou directly retreats, as long as he closes the distance.
If you open it at just the right level and strike with "Drawing the Sword", then Gao Yuan who just gives up the weapon now will naturally be unable to resist.
However, just as Mitarashi Konmune acted like this, jumping back and retreating slightly, Takato's hand had already touched the handle of the katana in Mitarashi Konmune's hand.
However, at this point, Gao Yuan did not directly choose to draw the sword, but stepped forward with one foot, directly behind Mitarai Konsou——
In response, as Mitarai Konsune jumped back, Takato's kick directly became an obstacle for him to retreat, causing him to become unstable and almost fall down.
Therefore, under this situation, Takato took further action, continued to take a step forward, directly grasped the handle of the katana in Mitarai Konso's hand with one hand, and then pulled it out.
Suddenly, Mitarai Konmune, who could barely stabilize his body, wanted to stop him. His left hand holding the scabbard stretched forward directly, as if he wanted to keep the scabbard and the sword itself in synchronized motion, so that the sword could continue to move.
Leave it in the scabbard.
However, this move exposed a huge flaw in Mitarai Konsou. As his left hand stretched forward, Takato, who was already very close to him, took advantage of the situation and forcefully lifted the handle of the knife upwards, forcing Mitarai to
The close sect can only follow up.
In this way, as Mitarai Konmune raised his left hand, the flaw under his left armpit was immediately exposed. Takato directly used the shoulder on one side of his body to lean towards Mitarashi Konmune's armpit, using something like "iron"
The method of "mountain support" directly knocked Mitarai Konsong away.
In this way, as the two people separated, the katana in the scabbard in Mitarashi Konmune's hand fell directly into Takato's hand——
"How about it? Mr. Mitarashi Konmune?"
At this point, he waved the katana he had just snatched for a moment, and then put his hands behind his back. Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Mitarai Konsou in front of him, Takato asked.
"you……"
In response to this, Mitarashi Konshu seemed extremely angry and reprimanded:
"This is not kendo at all!"
"Mr. Mitarashi Konmune..."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan could not help but be speechless and responded:
"You only said that as long as you successfully let go of the weapon in your hand, you didn't say that you must use kendo?"
"Can……"
"That's enough, Kinsect. No need to humiliate yourself anymore..."
At this moment, Mitarai Konsect was still not angry, but as an old man's voice sounded, Mitarai Konsect's attitude suddenly changed, and he lowered his head directly, not daring to face the visitor directly——
Looking along the sound, Gao Yuan saw that there was a huge gap on one side of the group of men in black surrounding the place, and an old man in a bathrobe slowly walked away.
Come in.
"I said, you can't keep him. Even if you go all out, he can still take the knife from your hand."
In a calm tone, the old man walked up to Mitarai Konso and said this.
"Father...I..."
In response, Mitarai Konsame lowered his eyebrows and nodded, his attitude seemed very humble and respectful, but his tone still showed dissatisfaction:
"Just careless..."
"No. This is not careless."
The old man completely disagreed with what Mitarashi Konmune said and said:
"You have learned the art of swordsmanship for so many years. Holding the sword in your hand is something engraved in your instinct. No matter how careless you are, it will never be easy to snatch the sword from your hand. Therefore, once
If someone can successfully snatch the sword from your hand, no matter how careless you are, it actually means that he knows the way of swordsmanship better than you!"
As he said that, the old man's eyes turned to Gao Yuan and then asked:
"If I'm not mistaken, you probably haven't received any professional training, and all you've learned are the most basic stances, right?"
In this regard, Gao Yuan was surprised when he saw the old man's question, but thinking about the title Mitarai Konsou called him and looking at his age, Gao Yuan probably knew who he was from the Mitarai family.
After being calm and showing no hostility towards him, Gao Yuan nodded——
After all, my so-called swordsmanship was really just a matter of practicing it with Tie Zhuyu for a few times.
Then, Gao Yuan asked tentatively:
"Excuse me...the old gentleman is...the second uncle that Miss Schnee mentioned?"
When asked like this, Takato first thought of getting close to him, and then mentioned Mitarai Yukina, hoping that this could ease the atmosphere at the scene.
Moreover, Takato felt that there was hope that he could use his identity as an old man to make Mitarai Konshu fulfill his promise.
In response, the old man nodded silently.
Then, Gao Yuan continued to ask:
"Then...don't you know the elder's name?"
"Zong Xu."
Calmly, the old man announced the name.
But in this regard, after confirming that this old man was "Mitarai Munexu", Hanada Emi's face changed slightly...
