Super Fighting Tokyo.

Bai Mucheng subconsciously raised his hand and responded with a "Uh-oh, uh-oh".

Then, he opened the door, intending to do some stretching first.

Shiramu Cheng: "..."

Shiraki Cheng: "...?"

Shiraki Cheng: "—?!"

He whirled around with a start, his eyes wide as he stared at Pike, who had suddenly appeared, and the half-giant crocodile tail beside him.

Why is Pike at the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Gym?!

Shiraki was naturally delighted to have a long-lost friend visit, but why so suddenly?

Moreover, no wonder Maruk lit a charcoal fire; he was planning to roast a crocodile tail!

"..."

Bai Mucheng didn't go inside; he and Pi Ke stared at each other.

"Uluru!"

Pi Ke raised his huge hands, gesturing for Bai Mucheng to do the same. Then, the four of them, Pi Ke and Bai Mucheng, faced each other and grasped each other's hands.

"Hee hee!"

Pi Ke chuckled, exerted force with both arms, pushed off the ground with his feet, and retreated while pushing against the white wooden support.

Swish swish!

Bai Mucheng took a few steps back and stepped onto the lawn in the courtyard. Only then did he come back to his senses from the shock and realize that Pi Ke was greeting him.

Since that's the case—

"Hmm!"

Bai Mucheng braced his right forefoot against the ground, trying to stabilize his body, but was pushed backward by Pike's strange strength, and was about to lose his balance.

Although it was just playful greeting, it was like playing with a tiger – you couldn't relax for even a moment!

"drink!"

Bai Mucheng gave a low shout, twisting his waist and abdomen to generate power, causing his hands to sway left and right, using the "neck grab" swaying technique from Muay Thai.

【Sagat o Tiger Suspended】!

Swish~!

Pike's hands were shaken together, and the force of the forward thrust was greatly dispersed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Mucheng pressed forward, his hands loosely clenched and pressed down, adopting a "drunken fist" stance, and his left foot suddenly stepped forward, slamming his left shoulder heavily into Pi Ke's chest.

[Fighting Spirit Unleashed! Jamie's Supreme Fist!]

Snapped!

Pico's chest was hit, finally stopping his forward momentum. He hugged Shiramu, his expression beaming with joy.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"..."

Shiraki Cheng probably understands what Pi Ke means.

Perhaps it was because so many people had witnessed him hunting monster crocodiles that Pico was reminded of the excitement of fighting with the fighters.

With her simple and straightforward personality, Pike naturally does whatever comes to mind.

He wanted to eat with someone, so he came to the surface, but he figured it would be hard to find an underground fighting arena, so he was naturally drawn to the Fighting Soul Martial Arts Hall.

—That's how Shiraki Sei guessed it.

Regardless of the truth, Shiraki Cheng was very happy.

"Great, fantastic!"

He hugged Pike tightly, grinning, "Welcome, Pike, welcome to the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts... Ugh! No, something's not right..."

Bai Mucheng suddenly gagged.

He then realized that Pike had a pungent odor, not foul, but definitely unpleasant.

It makes sense, considering that a "hunting-style homeless man" who is just over two meters tall has been living in the sewers for a long time, it's no wonder that he would smell so bad.

No wonder everyone else kept their distance when I greeted them, even Wu Fengshui, who brought the towel, didn't want to go back inside and went to do morning exercises with You Sha instead.

Because the leather can block the doorway!

"Well……"

Bai Mucheng tried to break free from Pike's embrace, but Pike held on even tighter.

"Ugh... Wow..."

Bai Mucheng struggled several times before finally managing to break free from Pike's embrace, only to see Pike about to hug him again.

Snapped!

Bai Mucheng pressed his palm against Pi Ke's chest and tried to speak, "Anyway, let's take a shower first? I'll go take a shower too..."

"You should take more showers. I'll prepare a shed or something here, you can use it as a place to play in the water."

"Hmm, or you could go find Grandpa Tokugawa. He has a pond with koi in it, and it's quite clean..."

"I imagine Mr. Katahara won't refuse either."

"..."

Bai Mucheng was so intoxicated by the smell that he spoke incoherently, saying whatever came to mind.

Pike probably understood, maybe, or possibly understood, and in any case, he was very happy.

……

……

To avoid startling her neighbors, Arisa ran the water pipe to the side of the garage.

Then Maruk took over and helped Pike take a shower.

Yusa and Wu Fengshui took over the task of making breakfast and went to the back of the house to study "charcoal-grilled crocodile tail".

"..."

After a flurry of activity, Pike took a shower and changed into a new pair of oversized shorts—Maruk's.

The sewer smell is finally gone.

On the other side, the crocodile tail, sliced ​​into thin pieces, had already been grilled.

However, since it came from a large crocodile that lived near the sewers, it was still a bit awkward to eat, so Arisa and the other two prepared other breakfasts, such as scones.

……

……

The four members of the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy, along with Pike who came to visit, enjoyed breakfast together on the lawn in the courtyard.

However, because the preparation time was a bit long, everyone ate a little late, and it was already time to open for business.

Two members of the martial arts school have arrived.

It's my old friend, the "weirdo" Mitsuyo Koishi, and his apprentice, the "strangulation king" Kosuke Imai.

It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early; the two of them also ate some crocodile tail meat with great interest.

"..."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Bai Mucheng went to clear the dishes, while the others sat on the grass to rest and chatted about random things.

"Snoring...snoring...snoring..."

Before he knew it, Pike had fallen asleep under the shade of the tree.

Maruk followed suit, lay down on the grass, and found it really comfortable, so he stretched and closed his eyes for a nap.

"..."

After resting for a while, Xiaoyuzhou felt he had had enough, so he got up to exercise and also wanted to come up with some new ideas to spar with Bai Mucheng.

Just then—

? !

Imai Kosuke's body suddenly froze on the spot, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

He turned his head, trembling, and found three people outside the courtyard.

They were not "uninvited guests," but one of them brought a far greater sense of fear than any "uninvited guest"!

Tokugawa Mitsunari, Miyamoto Musashi, and Dr. Albert Payne.

The three arrived at the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

What Imai Kosou sensed was naturally the peerless Miyamoto Musashi.

Not only him, but Mitsuyo Koishi, who had been smiling leisurely, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and even felt phantom pain from the scar on his nose.

On the other side—

Maruk, who had just closed his eyes, was so startled that he jumped up and crouched down in a defensive stance.

And what about Pico?

He had eaten and drunk his fill, his eyes were gently closed, and he was still sleeping peacefully.

Chapter 678 Beasts of the Same Kind

Although, Pico's arrival was already quite a shock.

But the three people who followed—or rather, one of them—completely disrupted the "modern" daily life.
