The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"However, it is still a good attempt."

"Let me make it clear first. If anything goes wrong, you will be responsible for it. I'm just spreading the news!"

"Ok!"

Ian nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Master Eight!"

[You finally persuaded Kiyono Hachiro to set up this duel atmosphere for you.]

【But this does not mean that you are absolutely confident. 】

[The appearance of Yamanami Keisuke is enough to serve as a wake-up call for the three of you.]

[If we want to successfully complete this duel and attract the General's attention, we must discuss it carefully.]

night.

Ian, Souji Okita, and Kondo Isami gathered together.

They seriously discussed what they had mentioned with Kiyono Hachiro today.

"A duel is necessary—" Kondo Isami was the first to speak. "Those people who eat without paying are truly despicable. We must teach them a lesson no matter what."

Although his life was not easy, Kondo Isami seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with food, especially the fact that he had to pay for food, which he had an extremely terrifying obsession with.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. After all, she came here hungry all the way, so this level of persistence can be said to be reasonable.

"We really need to teach them a lesson."

"but--"

Souji Okita looked at Ian beside him, and there was a hint of worry in his gray eyes.

"Sai San, you're definitely not going to be able to continue swinging your sword in this state, are you?"

"Should we...delay a little?"

"No."

Ian rejected Okita Souji's idea almost without hesitation.

"It really doesn't matter how long we wait, but it may not be the same with the general."

"Having missed this opportunity, I don't know when I'll have the chance to show myself again. I absolutely cannot hesitate."

"Besides -"

Ian's gaze swept from Okita Souji to Kondo Isami.

"Even if I can't fight, don't I still have you guys?"

"Okita, Xiaoyong, don't forget that we are all heirs of the Tennen Rishin-ryu—if I can do it, you can definitely do it too!"

"..."

Hearing this, Kondo Isami's lips trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he wanted to say something.

Ian also noticed this, so he spoke quickly.

"Xiaoyong...if you have anything on your mind, please tell us immediately. We are not outsiders. We can discuss anything."

"No, no..."

Kondo Isami glanced at Ian, then lowered his head shyly.

"I just didn't expect you to become so decisive, Suisan. You're completely different from before."

"Sai San is always so decisive."

Okita Souji said this while tilting his head slightly.

"At least he has been like this since I met him."

"Yes, is that so..." Kondo Isami's voice became smaller and smaller.

However, she was soon amused by Okita Souji's next words.

"Maybe because Suisan was stupid before, you didn't notice it?"

"Pfft-"

Kondo Isami covered his mouth, trying to suppress his laughter.

But she soon realized that it was useless.

"Hahahahaha!"

Kondo Isami covered his stomach and began rolling on the tatami.

"Satoshi is a fool—Okita, you're right. I've wanted to say this a long time ago!"

"Right! Saizou before was just like a fool!"

"That's right!"

"Hey, you two!"

Ian felt a little unhappy when Okita Souji and Kondo Isami called him a fool.

Until the end, he did not say anything to blame them.

“If someone said that, I would definitely get angry.”

"But you two... I really can't get angry at you. You're just idiots, so be it. I accept it."

"But this time I really have to ask you for help - I hope you will also pay attention to your own safety."

"..."

"..."

Ian's overly serious attitude disturbed Okita Souji and Kondo Isami who were still arguing.

Yeah... this is no joke.

Although most of the people who come to Mibu Village are probably gangsters and not real swordsmen.

But there are definitely people like Yamanami Keisuke among them. If they really meet one day, they will definitely be tough nut to crack.

but--

Souji Okita and Isami Kondo looked at each other and both noticed the determination in each other's hearts.

That's right.

If it's for three people, we must never retreat no matter how difficult the situation is.

"Leave it to us, Saizo."

Okita Souji became serious, and the Kaga Kiyomizu in her hand seemed to be responding.

"We're betting on Master's approval. No matter what, we must make a name for ourselves under these circumstances."

"yes--"

Kondo Isami stretched his muscles.

"If I don't try my best when I have the opportunity to wield my sword, wouldn't that be like desecrating my past?"

The lights went out, and the three people from Aoba City slept together.

This is destined to be a night that will go down in history.

【Kiyono Hachiro's network of contacts is really too wide. 】

[Within a few days, the news that you were going to challenge all the swordsmen spread throughout the village.]

Everyone knows that a group of people from Qingye City have arrogantly challenged me.

[Taking advantage of this opportunity, you set up the arena at the right time.]

[To be precise, it should be a stage for sword fighting.]

【During the day, you will duel with the ronin who come to challenge you.】

"This doesn't look like a powerful warrior, does it?"

"And it seems to be a girl?"

The challenger said this while looking at Okita Souji in front of him.

"You...are you really not kidding?"

"Ten seconds."

Okita Souji suddenly reported a number.

"what?"

"Ten seconds to knock you out—counting starts now."

Okita Souji said this, and then rushed forward holding his Kaga Kiyomizu.

"Okay, so fast!"

Before the challenger could even react, he felt the sword in his hand being knocked away.

Immediately afterwards, Okita Souji pointed his sword at the opponent's throat.

"Looks like it won't take ten seconds—it turns out anyone who underestimates their opponent before a duel isn't very strong."

"Two seconds is enough."

"You lose...next one."

Similarly, Kondo Isami was also demonstrating his swordsmanship skills.

"Drink——!"

With fierce roars, she continued to launch fierce attacks.

Until the person who came to challenge him was unable to withstand the desperate attack and fell to the ground.

"You're sick... You're obviously a girl, how can you be so strong!"

"You've got it backwards—it's clearly a man's strength, so how could it be so small?"

"Take your blade, get out of here, and let the next one in!"

【This is the record of Okita Souji and Kondo Takeshi's daytime battles.】

[They fought more bravely under your watchful gaze, defeating one opponent after another who had looked down on the three of you.]

【Five wins——】

【Tokachi——】

【Twenty wins——】

[You have won twenty-seven duels.]

[Okita Souji's lightning-fast attack was called "Wolf" by those who were curious;]

[In contrast, Kondo Isami's drive is called "eagle."]

[Although you didn't participate in the battle, because you were always with them and had a rather stocky build, you also earned the nickname "Bear."]

"The Animal Trio of Aoba Castle, you are called this by the people of this village—it may sound a bit funny, but behind it lies the real fear of the defeated."

“It’s so simple—!”

Kondo Isami, who had just won another victory, was reporting his heroic deeds to one person with a beaming face.

The man also looked at her with a smile, nodding from time to time to show that he was satisfied.

However, at this moment——

The thick shoji door was suddenly opened with a swish.

"Saisan——"

Okita Souji walked in in casual clothes.

"After winning so many games, it's time to go to the bathhouse and relax, right?"

"..."
