Sukunabikona continues her voyage safely, and Sojiro comes to talk to me when I brush my love flame.

"That sword..."

"This is mine.I had Mr. Hapiestus make it for me."

You're proud of your love fire.

"Can you show me a little bit? I don't have an eye for a sword".

"Tacto hyung, are you okay?"

"Very well,"

"Well, then,"

Sojiro draws his sword and checks it.

"This person... has never made swords.k.a. sword.That's why I love Kaji.I'm sorry.I don't mean to insult you."

"No, I'm surprised.I had hardly ever actually made a sword.I forced him to make it."

"And for her, Mr. Tact?"

"But I wanted to make a sword myself."

Then Sojiro laughs.

"Is that the case?"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, I was worried about my sword."

Gunu... Did you notice the moment I saw it?

"Thank you very much. Why don't you fight with me if you have a sword?"

"... Is it okay?"

"No, I don't like a strong swordsman."

If he could fight Okita Soshi, I wouldn't wish for him.so that they would fight a duel on the deck of Suknabicona.

a duel
Victory: Critical hit, total loss of life force
Competitors: Taku, Sojiro
referee:ion

As a result of discussions with Sojiro, critical hits were added to the victory or defeat.This should be almost the same rules as kendo.Well, foul play is also a critical hit.It's up to us to do it, but I don't think I can afford it.

draw swords from each otherIs that the sword "Kikuichimonji Norimune" that Soji OKITA loved? That's cool~

"Are you ready?"

"Ah, oh, oh..."

I don't know... You have to concentrate.

"Huh,"

He was laughed at by Sojiro.Uh... Uh...

"... That's all right.

"What!"

Sojiro's mood changes with my mood.

"Well... let's see... Let's get started!"

They search without saying anything to each other, moving their swords.Then they move in a circle and sometimes step in and check.

「「…」」

Okita Soji... was completely unmoved and there was no time left for him.There's nothing we can do about it. Let's play.

Our existence is already empty.

"What!"

Sojiro receives my sword.Can you stop me? That's Soji Okita.He was beaten and slashed back, but I tried to kill him again, but he accepted it.Then, it becomes a sword fight.

"Ahhhuh!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

It's fast... And it's good.He is only called a genius swordsman.Each movement is minimal, fast, and sharp.I feel like I'm barely coping with that.

There is a difference in status... and Sojiro knows the difference and forces him to come.d*mn it!

As I went down, Sojiro went down and his stance became a thrust.Oh my gosh!?

Sojiro disappeared in the reduced land.

I stopped the thrust aimed at Sojiro's heart.I was pierced through my neck and face."Three-stage thrust."

It must be too fast... Is this the synonym of Soji OKITA, "Sandan-tsuki?"

"That's it! Winner Sojiro! Tact, are you okay?"

"Oh, it's a duel, so it's okay..."

You lost completely... The duel with the really famous NPC has always been lost.There's nothing we can do about the status difference, so we have to do something else.I have to do something about it.

"Are you all right?"

"Oh... I lost."

"No... It was a wonderful skill.I was surprised at the first technique."

That's the reason why we lost, but the first attack is noticed by giving up.

"No, I think I saw a great game."

"As expected, famous NPCs are strong."

"Three steps... It was cool."

It was definitely cool, but I can't stand being attacked... It's okay if it's just a straight line attack, but it's disappointing that the angle of thrust was slightly different.I have no idea how to defend myself.

Then, Ix reacts.

"Master, there's a response to radar.It's the front."

You're the enemy... When we moved, the ocean current was unusually rough.

"This is... here! My ship is ruined!"

Everyone holds up their weapons.Then came the enemy.

"Yuck!"

"...what?"

A huge maneki-neko-like cat appeared.

Sea cat?
？　？　？

Everyone is frozen. What?Is this maneki-neko? Is it okay to fight?

"Nah... Nah..."

The sea cat goes back into the sea in a maneki-neko pose. What was that?

"What... Uh... Are you glad you left?"

"... Should I have knocked him down?"

"No! I'm dead set against attacking such a cute cat!"

Dawn was confirmed to be an animal lover.

"Did I almost die when I was attacked by such a thing?"

"That's probably the case... Maybe because it's gone, the current has returned to normal.Let's move on."

I didn't want to go all the way to kill him.This is because I want to go to Wanokuni no Sakura earlier than that.After that, he followed Sojiro's instructions and proceeded without any problems, and the island came into view.

"I saw it! That's the cherry blossom of Japan!"

It is finally the cherry blossoms of Japan that I longed for.
