Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

In this way, he became the person he used to hate the most.

It was especially painful for him when he used his strength on a friend who had helped him a lot.

So he was planning to withdraw from the competition.

Anyway, his wish no longer necessarily needs to be fulfilled through the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival; his magic power can already begin to increase.

A few years later, through normal magical growth, he will be able to obtain a magic knight's license.

That was what he originally thought.

"Your thoughts are written all over your face."

"I've lived this long, of course I can see through these things."

He reached out and gently tapped on the shell of Kurogane Ikki.

"The little guy's fate cannot be interfered with."

"Neither my demonic power nor Ningyin's demonic power can interfere with him."

Nango Hikojiro was also somewhat saddened.

He had never met anyone like Haramura Makoto before, and that's why he agreed without hesitation to take Haramura Makoto as his disciple when Nishikyo Ningyin called him.

"Wow, that's amazing. As expected of Makoto."

All that could be said about Ikki Kurogane was admiration.

"Does the senior know why? What exactly is the special thing about Cheng?"

"Um--"

Nango Hikojiro scratched his thinning hair, his face wrinkled into a shape like a chrysanthemum.

"This is just my guess, it can't be called a conclusion."

"I'm afraid this kid is the first born demon in the history of this world. It is precisely because of this that he is able to transcend the world and be free from the control of fate."

Chapter 126 The Pool at Night

"Now that things have changed, are you still confident you can win?"

In the dead of night, with the moon shining brightly and the stars sparse, on the rooftop of the hotel, with the cool night breeze blowing in, her golden hair was being tossed about, and she leaned on the glass railing with both hands, and asked softly as she turned around.

"It will probably be very difficult, and I can't say for sure that I will win."

Makoto Haramura lay on a lounge chair by the pool, holding a glass of mixed freshly squeezed juice in his hand.

The "Kikuhara Kanata" refers to Kurogane Ikki, of course.

His performance today has shocked everyone, especially that final strike. No one understands how he defeated the Black Iron King.

However, not understanding means the unknown, the unknown means terror, and terror also means there is no way to deal with it.

Even Makoto Haramura doesn't understand it now.

In other words, if Ikki Kiguro swung his sword at him, he couldn't think of a better way to deal with it.

"Then what should we do?"

"You are destined to become the strongest Bladebreaker."

"How can you negotiate with my father if you don't become the strongest Bladebreaker?"

Swimming to the shore, Kidehara Kanata slowly emerged from the pool.

Tonight, Kanata Kitahara's swimsuit is a departure from her usual conservative style.

She was wearing a pure white two-piece swimsuit today.

It's neither completely exposed nor conservative.

It was a perfect midline, but even in such a swimsuit, it revealed the impressive strength that Kanata Kintoku usually hid beneath her pure white dress.

Especially when those drops of water still clinging to her fair skin slid down into the ravine, it was as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

However, despite having such an impressive chest, Kanata Kitokuhara is not like other girls; she has a slightly plump figure.

A standard A4 waist, slender and long legs.

In short, it's perfect. It's hard to imagine that a girl could maintain her body so perfectly.

It's absolutely perfect – any more would be superfluous, and any less wouldn't be enough.

"You're showing a lack of confidence in me."

Makoto Haramura's gaze lingered on Kanata Kintokuhara for a couple more seconds before he picked up a towel from the stool next to him and threw it at Kanata Kintokuhara, who was walking towards him.

"No!"

Kanata Katori reached out and took the towel, quickly dried her hair, and then draped it over herself.

"As long as you have confidence in yourself, I will have confidence in you."

"I'll just support you from behind."

Lying on the chair, with her two slender legs crossed, Kyoukata picked up her glass of juice and started drinking.

"rest assured!"

"I'm just speaking from a probabilistic point of view, and I'm being honest with myself that I'm not 100% sure of winning."

Makoto Haramura sat up abruptly from his chair, his eyelids drooping slightly, and his voice inexplicably becoming sharp.

"However, my belief in winning and confirming my own victory has never diminished in the slightest."

"No matter who my opponent is, I am confident of winning as long as he stands in front of me."

Presuming defeat before even talking about victory!

This is the most taboo thing, so even if the enemy on the other side is obviously stronger than him, he will not be sure that he will lose.

His fighting style is to fight with all his might whenever possible.

"That would be great."

"Then all preparations can proceed as usual."

Kidehara clapped his hands happily, and sat up again after just lying down.

However, this time she didn't sit in her own chair, but turned around and sat directly next to Makoto Haramura.

She wanted to use Haramura Makoto's power to negotiate with her family and free her from their control.

Since she wants to withdraw, there are many things she needs to prepare in advance.

"Never mind, compared to that—"

"How's the material gathering going for the Black Iron family? It's a good thing that Ikki is getting stronger. We weren't sure if Ikki could make it, but now it's a sure thing that he'll be in the finals."

"In that case, we need to stir up some drama involving the Black Iron family before the finals begin, to make the competition even more exciting."

Makoto Haramura did not reject Kanata Kintoku's advances, but he also did not make any moves. He simply sat there and let Kanata Kintoku stay close to him.

"We've collected almost everything."

"This is evidence that can completely nail down the Black Iron family."

This was a plan that was set from the very beginning.

Makoto Haramura is responsible for striving to become the world's strongest swordsman, while Kanata Kintokuhara helps him solve all the trivial matters.

It was like gathering evidence against the Black Iron Clan, or spreading the news.

It will also completely overturn the current landscape of the Japanese swordsmen.

"That's good. Get ready."

"When both Ikki and I make it to the finals, we'll release them all at once, so that the Black Iron family won't be able to cover it up."

Why can't Makoto Haramura do this kind of thing himself?

Putting aside the fact that he doesn't have much of an advantage in this world, it's already difficult for him to gather a lot of secret information.

Furthermore, the Kurogane family has been operating in Japan for over fifty years, and it's unknown how many important positions they hold.

Even if he stirs up trouble, there's a high chance the Black Iron family will cover it up.

Therefore, he wants to join forces with Shinguji Kurono and Kitokuhara Kanata.

"I see."

Kanata Katori waved her hand impatiently, but for some reason her lips were pouting, and she looked somewhat unhappy.

"But, is that all?"

"You came all this way just to talk to me about these serious matters?"

Kiteku Hara shifted his position, his body almost completely pressed against Haramura Makoto's.

It has a fragrance like orchids and a soft feel.

Makoto Haramura's lips twitched involuntarily, but he didn't avoid it. He simply reached out and pressed down on the small hand that Kanata Takatoku had placed on his shoulder.

"Were you serious about what you said that day?"

Kyoukata's lips pouted even more, and her left cheek bulged out like a pufferfish.

"Do you really think a girl would joke about something like this?"

"Of course I'm serious."

The dissatisfaction of the people in the area of ​​Guide Hara is almost overflowing.

"I just don't want my marriage partner to be accused, but that doesn't mean I don't need to get married."

“It’s impossible for girls from families like ours not to get married, let alone marry someone from an ordinary family.”

"So you are the best choice."

Indeed, what Kintokuhara said is very realistic.

Even without mentioning Guide Yuan Bifang, society would never allow a woodcutter to remain unmarried and childless for his entire life.

In this era where the sword-wielder was synonymous with weapon, the birth of each sword-wielder was a treasure for the nation.

A swordsman who wants to be childless? That's a crime. He must get married, even with an ordinary person.

"Are you sure?"

"You're not the only one by my side."

Makoto Haramura warned Kanata Kitoku.

"Is there anything to care about in this kind of thing?"

Kanata Kyoukaku sneered, pulled her small hand out from under Makoto Haramura's large hand, and slid it down Makoto Haramura's chest.

"Do you really think that a family like ours could possibly have any jokes about a lifelong, monogamous relationship?"

"Everyone's just doing their own thing."

"The so-called good marriage partners are only good marriage partners from the perspective of the family."

"But for children, whether it fits or not is completely unimportant."

"Besides, since the other party is a man, wouldn't it be more likely that he would bring back the offspring of the Blade Slayer if he favored a few more women?"

What Kintokuhara said left everyone speechless.

That's exactly the case.

After all, compared to the hardship of a woman's ten months of pregnancy, a man only needs to keep sowing his seed.

The birth of a swordsman does not necessarily involve the union of two swordsmen.

There is also a certain probability that a swordsman can be born from the union of a swordsman and an ordinary person.

Just like the Black Iron family.

Kurogane Ryuma became a demon, and the Kurogane family had only been established for a little over fifty years. Why was it that in such a short time, the Kurogane family was able to develop so many branches and even have a branch family?

Isn't it just because they keep having children? Those born who are skilled at cutting blades stay in the family, while ordinary people are driven out, eliminating the inferior and keeping the superior.

That's how they were able to develop the Black Iron Clan in such a short time.
