My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Volume 4 Edo Chronicles: Chapter 179 Princess Kaguya Wants to Be Requested

"Yes, this kind of momentum is worthy of being called the Renxia Dao."

Looking at the members of the Rat Group who were rushing up with angry roars, Shang Yang smiled and praised them. Then he casually put his hand on the hilt of the Yin-Yang Sword, which was completely covered by the hem of his clothes, and pulled out the Yin-Yang Sword that had been hanging on his body.

However, the pure white sword that looked like a piece of unpolished jade had now turned into a wooden sword.

Pulling out the Liang Yi sword that looked like a wooden sword, Shang Yang casually swung the sword, dodged the fist of a member of the Rat Group who rushed over, and then spoke.

"By the way, Kaguya, this is for you, do with it as you please."

While speaking, Shang Yang took out a Tang sword with a bamboo scabbard from somewhere and threw it to Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had also easily and nimbly dodged the siege of the Rat Group members.

"...Huh? What do you mean?"

Noticing the Tang sword flying towards her, Kaguya easily turned sideways, dodged a member of the Rat Crew who was rushing towards her, casually stretched out her slender white hand, caught the thrown Tang sword, and asked Shang Yang with a chuckle.

"Do you want me to fight alongside you, my lord husband?"

As she caught the Tang sword, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had been lowering her pretty face slightly and hiding her stunning beauty in the shadow of her cascading bangs, naturally raised her pretty face.

The peerlessly beautiful face of the eternal Princess Penglai was fully displayed in front of everyone here from under the cover of her cascading bangs.

In an instant, all the members of the Rat Team were captivated by the unparalleled beauty of Kaguya of the Bamboo Cutter, Kaguya of Houraisan, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Seeing the effect of her beautiful face, Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded with great satisfaction and seemed very happy.

Seeing Kaguya's deliberate performance, Shang Yang felt helpless, but he had no choice but to cooperate with his "wife" in her playful performance.

"...Yes, Your Highness, my wife, please demonstrate your peerless swordsmanship here."

"Can you agree to my request, my princess?"

"Fufu... Although it's a bit troublesome, it's my husband's request."

Hearing Shang Yang's agreement with her request, Kaguya breathed a sigh of relief, and placed the Tang sword on her waist. She gently pressed the hilt of the sword, her delicate white hand, like a piece of top-grade jade, and naturally made a perfect sword-drawing posture in kendo. She seemed a little shy and chuckled.

"I will do my best to show my all to my husband."

At the same time, the little leader of the Minggou Rat Group, who had finally come to his senses, cursed inwardly and then shouted loudly.

"Don't be foolish just because your opponent is a woman! You bastards! She's the enemy who trampled on the reputation of our Rat Tribe and Jirocho's family!"

"You idiots, haven't you seen it yet?! From the way this woman holds her sword, it's clear that she's a true kendo master! Do you want to die under her sword?!"

Hearing this angry rebuke, the members of the Rat Crew, who had finally come back to their senses from the intoxication brought by the beautiful face of Kaguya-hime of the Bamboo Cutter, the eternal Princess of Hourai, drew their samurai swords, roared wildly, and swarmed towards the young man with gray hair and the peerless and beautiful Princess.

"That's right! They are enemies of Jironaga's family!"

"Kill them!"

"We must not let anyone escape!"

"Oh my, you actually praised me as a master of swordsmanship."

Seeing the performance of the Rat Team members, Kaguya chuckled again, maintaining a perfect sword-drawing posture and slowly grasping the hilt.

Then, the light of the Tang sword flashed by.

"How rude! I am a peerless swordsman."

A flash of sword light passed by, and all the members of the Rat Team who approached Kaguya were all knocked away by Her Royal Highness the Princess who drew her sword.

Seeing the consequences of her sword strike, Kaguya glanced at the Tang sword in her hand with some confusion.

Then, Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded thoughtfully, turned sideways, and made another light blow, knocking away the Rat Crew member who was rushing towards her from behind.

On this side, Shang Yang dodged the blade of the samurai sword by slightly turning sideways, and used the Liang Yi sword that had turned into a wooden sword to knock a member of the Rat Group away. He turned around and saw Kaguya's unparalleled swordsmanship, which was more like a sword dance than a kendo, and he felt that it was extremely beautiful and intoxicating.

The extremely talented Princess Harazuki naturally learned the principles of kendo when she was still a child and studying in the Moon City on the Moon Sea.

However, for Kaguya, her power of eternity and momentary power are the most reliable forces, and swordsmanship is just one of the attack methods she knows.

However, even though swordsmanship is only one of Kaguya's skills, for the eternal Princess of Hourai, her swordsmanship can also show a beautiful posture like her peerless beauty.

The peerless and beautiful swordsmanship blossoms in this world with extreme splendor.

Rather than saying that Her Royal Highness the Princess was showing off her swordsmanship, it would be more accurate to say that Princess Kaguya of the Bamboo Cutter was performing an extremely beautiful sword dance.

Like dancing, he lightly dodged the incoming sword, and then deftly drew a pure white cold sword tip. The sword tip drew a graceful arc in the air, extremely natural and beautiful, knocking down the attacking enemy.

After a while, the young man and Her Royal Highness the Princess, who were originally some distance apart, gathered together again, leaning on each other with their backs, without a trace of tension. They each looked in front of them at the extremely uneasy and hesitant members of the Rat Team.

"Princess, you said your swordsmanship was better than Watatsuki Yorihime's."

Shang Yang casually swung the wooden sword in his hand and complained without any tension.

"But in my opinion, your swordsmanship level is no higher than your second sister's."

"My sword is much more beautiful when used than hers. My second sister can only cut people."

Hearing Shang Yang's doubtful remarks, Kaguya lightly swung the Tang sword in her hand, and the sword edge drew an extremely beautiful mark, and she retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Whether a sword is used beautifully or not is also a reflection of the user's kendo level."

"That's a bit of a stretch."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yang complained.

"I believe that the standard for judging the quality of swordsmanship is whether you can defeat the enemy, not whether your movements when defeating the enemy are beautiful or not."

"That's because the Tang sword you gave me has no blade at all. It can only hit people, not cut them."

"If I really wanted to kill someone, my dear husband, just imagine how beautiful and enchanting the scene would be, with my swordsmanship and the splashing of red blood."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Kaguya also retorted casually, and then, Her Royal Highness the Princess thought for a moment and asked curiously.

"Let me ask you a question. Why is the sheath of this Tang sword made of a single piece of bamboo?"

"Because, Princess, you are Kaguya-sama of the Bamboo Cutter."

Shang Yang smiled when he heard Kaguya's curious question.

"Drawing a sword from bamboo is more in line with your setting, Princess."

"...Just for this, you prepared a Tang sword with a bamboo scabbard for me."

Hearing the gray-haired young man's matter-of-fact answer, Her Royal Highness the Princess rolled her eyes at Shang Yang again and complained.

"In order to avoid hurting people, they deliberately left the blade unsharpened, making it a blunt weapon. The swordsmanship I use to cut people, I use to hit people."

"Let's not talk about this yet."

Upon hearing this, Shang Yang didn't care and continued to ask Kaguya for her opinion.

"Then, Princess, shall we go in together?"

"Then what about Yue Yi's father and his wife?"

Hearing this, Kaguya shrugged and complained.

"You've ruined my interest in fighting. Hurry up and finish this, then go to Akihabara."

As the young man and the girl finished their words, two blade beams flashed at the same time, and the surrounding air even created wind pressure due to the young man and the girl's sword-drawing speed that exceeded common sense.

boom! ! !

PS1: I can’t find the old picture of Kaguya drawing her sword… Does anyone still have it? Can you upload it to the book group?

Volume 4, Edo Chronicles: Chapter 180: The Great Knight

boom! ! !

The two members of the Rat Group who were knocked away by Shang Yang and Kaguya at the same time slammed heavily on the gate of the Rat Group's base, Jirocho's family headquarters. The wooden gate could not withstand such an impact and fell to the ground in the courtyard with a bang.

However, although the door of the mansion was smashed open, the other members of the Rat Group who were lying in ambush behind the door and preparing to ambush the intruders heard the commotion outside and rushed out from the mansion, shouting and waving their samurai swords.

"For the honor of Jironaga's family!"

"Kill the enemy who despised Elder Jiro!"

Seeing the gate being smashed open, Shang Yang, who originally wanted to rush into the house through the gate with Kaguya, changed his mind when he saw more members of the Rat Group pouring out of the house. He took advantage of the situation and hugged Kaguya around the waist, and jumped with Kaguya in his arms, falling directly from the high wall of the house into the courtyard.

The members of the Rat Squad who were staying in the courtyard and had fallen into the courtyard of the residence of Jironaga's family were about to rush out. They were stunned to see the young man and girl coming in from the higher wall. After being stunned for a moment, they raised all kinds of weapons and surrounded the young man and girl who had climbed into the courtyard.

Although Shang Yang suddenly grabbed her and threw her over the wall into the courtyard, Kaguya wasn't surprised. After landing naturally on the ground, she swung her Tang sword and knocked away another member of the Rat Group who was surrounding her.

The ink-black waterfall-like hair danced freely with the movements of Her Royal Highness the Princess, accompanied by a flash of cold edge. The unparalleled grace of Princess Penglai bloomed again in the courtyard.

Similarly, Shang Yang also stabbed out the Liang Yi Sword, knocking away the samurai sword held by a member of the Rat Team. The Liang Yi Sword, which turned into a wooden sword, stabbed forward again, hitting the abdomen of the astonished team member and knocking him down.

Then, Shang Yang casually put it away, held the handle of the wooden sword with one hand, and chopped it down from top to bottom, knocking away the members of the Rat Group who were close to him again. Together with Kaguya, they continued to rush into the house as if strolling in the garden.

"Hey, hey, I thought something terrible had happened, but two people dared to come and provoke our Rat Group Jiro-Chang's family!"

Just as Shang Yang and Hui Ye were strolling leisurely in the garden, surrounded by the Rat Squad members and continuously advancing into the house, a ferocious man with his hair combed into a weird 3:7 part and a long scar on his face stepped out from the crowd in extreme anger.

Seeing the scene before him, the ferocious man with his hair parted in a 3:7 style half-opened his eyes, as if bothered by the trouble, and raised his hand to scratch his head. Then, his eyes, which had been as calm as still water, suddenly became sharp, and without warning, he rushed forward towards Shang Yang, who was just about to strike back the Rat Group members surrounding him with a single blow!

With great force and speed, his right hand pressed directly towards Shang Yang's head, and he roared loudly.

"You're really too brave, aren't you?! Bro!"

Shang Yang was not surprised by this move of killing by pressing his head.

As expected, there he was, the promising young leader of the Rat Gang, Heiju Shengnan.

Amidst Heiju Shengnan's astonishment, Shang Yang took a step back at an astonishingly fast speed, flipped the wooden sword in his right hand backwards, and knocked away the member of the Rat Group who was attacking him from behind, while his left hand stretched out at the same time.

"Press the cow's head if it won't drink water!"

boom! ! !

Heiju Shengnan had no time to react at all, and was instead held down on the head by Shang Yang and slammed to the ground.

Well, he hit the ground directly with his face.

"You, you brat!!!"

The embarrassed Heiju Shengnan barely got up and was about to fight back in extreme anger when Shang Yang's second move followed.

"If you are indecisive, you will become a dragon!"

boom! ! !

Heiju Shengnan, who had just climbed up, was hit in the face by Shang Yang's Void Rising Dragon Fist. He was knocked directly away and hit the wall in the courtyard, making a big dent in the wall.

Seeing the ferocious-looking young leader of the Rat Gang, Heiju Shengnan, being knocked away by him, Shang Yang casually patted the dust off his sleeves as if nothing had happened.

Suddenly, a bad feeling came over him, causing the young man to frown slightly and hold the wooden sword horizontally in front of him.

Boom! ! !

The katana blade clashed with the wooden sword, creating a resounding sound.

"...Oh? Even in this day and age, there are such outstanding juniors."

Seeing Shang Yang blocking his sword with a wooden sword in one hand, the old man with brown skin and a white flat head holding a samurai sword raised his white eyebrows and spoke slowly in a calm tone.

"Since you're here, how about you fight a few moves with me?"

Without waiting for Shang Yang to answer, the old warrior, who was old but still as powerful as a monster, suddenly exerted his strength and chopped down again with his samurai sword flashing with a terrifying cold light.

"...You're not going to ask for my opinion, are you, Master Rinrudo?"

He slightly turned sideways and accurately let the blade of the samurai sword brush past Shang Yang's body. At the same time, he helplessly complained about the leader of the Rat Group in front of him, Jiro Nisui, one of the Four Kings of Kabukicho, with strange names. At the same time, he flipped the Liangyi sword in his hand and stabbed the old samurai at a strange angle without any mercy.

Seeing the wooden sword approaching his heart in an instant, Nishui Jiro narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled nonchalantly. The samurai sword, which was originally in a chopping momentum, changed in an instant. The blade suddenly flipped up, and the blade pointed up, fiercely hitting Shang Yang's wooden sword.

"Hey!"

boom! ! !

The wooden sword and the katana collided. The gray-haired youth and the brown-skinned, white-haired old warrior, their swords clashing with tremendous speed and force, creating an astonishingly large wind pressure. And as the wooden sword and the katana clashed, the two highly compressed air currents collided fiercely, suddenly dispersing and raising a cloud of dust.

"Boss Jiro!" "Boss!" "Team Leader!"

Seeing the general of their own Rat Group and the enemy's figure being obscured by the thick dust, the members of the Rat Group anxiously shouted the general's honorific.

"Hehe...young people nowadays are really amazing."

The dust dispersed, and the old warrior holding the samurai sword had a sharp edge in his eyes, and he laughed.

"With such skills, if he had participated in the anti-foreign war twenty years ago, he would surely have become famous."
