Chapter 13 Appearance is Important

"What is this?" Tianyin asked curiously.

"Cold Weapon Robot Fighting Competition." Aya said with a smile, "The fighting program installed in this robot is our Zao Gangzhen style!"

While Aya was speaking, the video had already shown the full picture. On the stage, this robot was fighting with another robot.

This robot, which uses Zao Gangzhen's style, has skillful and powerful movements and is extremely entertaining to watch.

"Hey, Tianyin, what do you think?" Yaye asked like a curious baby.

Tianyin thought for a moment and answered seriously, "She's obviously much better looking."

"Well, that's not it!" Aya rolled her eyes, "Although it is indeed very beautiful..."

Opposite the Zao Gangzhen Ryu was a female robot with a very detailed skin, wearing a very small ninja uniform and holding two katana. The subtitles above it displayed the label "Zao Gangzhen Ryu VS Niten Ichiryu".

The Robot Contest is a long-standing show that originally involved a group of people creating robots to fight each other. With the development of prosthetic technology, these robots have gradually been upgraded from simple tanks to prosthetic robots. Unexpectedly, the show has become even more popular, even branching out into several series.

"Robot Swordsman Battle, this is the most popular show right now."

"Oh……"

Tianyin tilted her head. She had very little contact with the outside world and had no idea about this show.

However, the scene in front of him was really interesting. Tianyin's attention was attracted by the two robots wielding swords.

The use of second-rate female robots was obviously more popular, and every time they gained an advantage, there was cheering from the audience.

Meanwhile, Yaye was also chatting away, "AI technology is becoming increasingly advanced. Someone previously used AI to defeat the strongest Go player. And now, this technology has been applied to cold weapon combat—well, of course, these AIs can only deal with ordinary people right now. True martial arts masters are still no match for them."

As he spoke, the robot using Zao Gangzhen style had already knocked the opponent to the ground.

At this time, Aya smiled smugly: "That Niten Ichiryu is just flashy and useless. What's the point of using a skin when it comes to real combat~"

"But their cheers are louder." Tianyin continued to sabotage as usual.

"Don't be so complacent, we've actually been considering using better-looking robots! Seriously, I don't know who came up with this rule. It's clearly a robot battle, but everyone's becoming more and more concerned with appearance..."

"Iron-blooded, passionate battles and super cute girls, is there anything more beautiful than this?!"

Tianyin read aloud the comments below the video.

"Hmph, all men are pigs!" Yaye hugged her chest, seeming to be disdainful of it.

"Well, she is indeed very beautiful." Tianyin looked at the knocked-down female robot.

Although it failed, one has to admit that Tianyin was deeply attracted by the contrast and beauty when this pretty-faced woman used the katana.

"What? Our Zao Gangzhen style is the strongest..." Aya originally came here to show off, but after it had the opposite effect, she seemed a little disappointed.

"Zao Gangzhen style...Aye-sister, can I learn from you?"

Tianyin's voice penetrated Aye's ears. This voice, like the sound of nature, instantly excited her. She suddenly hugged Tianyin and said, "No problem, no problem. Leave everything to me!"

But unfortunately, there was not much time today, so Aya sent the video file of Zao Gangzhen's video to Tianyin and said goodbye.

After saying goodbye to Aya, Tianyin set out on the journey home.

However, when she arrived at the mountain path, she saw a group of people talking and laughing coming down the path, led by Grandpa Tanaka.

"It's little Tianyin!" Grandpa Tanaka came over after seeing Tianyin. "We all heard that you, little Tianyin, want to be a puppet shrine maiden. Come on!"

"Thank you very much for your support." Tianyin stood straight and answered the other party in a very formal tone.

Grandpa Tanaka was stunned.

But someone immediately understood.

"Hahaha, little Tianyin is pretending to be a robot. This is preparation for the Puppet Festival."

"Xiao Tianyin is really hardworking. She's already started working hard even though there's still so much time left. Xiao Tianyin's imitation really looks like a puppet."

"Yes, yes, if you look closely, they really are the same as those Otoko puppets made by Mr. Yikui."

"Stupid, the Otoko puppet was originally made by Yikui-sensei based on Xiao Tianyin. It's full of love for Xiao Tianyin!"

"Hahahaha!"

As the old people talked, they started laughing.

Grandpa Tanaka also smiled and touched Tianyin's head.

"Come on, little Tianyin. The grandpas will always support you!"

As the old men spoke, they said goodbye to Tianyin and went down the mountain.

Tianyin actually wanted to talk to them, but she restrained herself and continued to play the role of a living puppet.

After they left, she continued up the mountain.

After returning to the shrine, Yikui did not appear, and it was a maid robot that came to take care of Tianyin.

When Tianyin returned home, she was changed into a red kimono.

"Eh?"

However, while eating, Tianyin discovered that her tableware had been replaced with pink plastic tableware.

"Just like a toy..."

Tianyin was very confused, but she still suppressed her curiosity and finished her dinner.

Since the training began, Tianyin's schedule has been carried out according to the timetable set by the maid robot, and her original private time has been cancelled.

After dinner, Tianyin was brought to the TV.

"Ah?"

However, the TV was not on.

No, after a closer look, Tianyin discovered that what was in front of him was not a real TV, but a plastic TV model. There was no doubt that it was fake.

Tianyin remained motionless, just like a real doll.

Gradually, Tianyin, whose mind was full of questions, seemed to understand something.

This feeling is just like the dolls I used to play with when I played house.

However, now the doll being manipulated has become myself...

The girl started to feel annoyed.

"But... for Daddy... I have to be patient..."

She began to recall the Zen technique that the old man taught her in her dream, which helped her to calm her troubled heart.

Not to mention, the Zen practice that originally had no effect seemed to have begun to produce subtle effects at this moment. My whole body felt warm, and there was even a sense of pleasure spreading in my heart.

Could this be the internal force that the old man talked about?

But after feeling it carefully, Tianyin seemed to feel nothing.

In the end, there is still nothing!

The girl was a little depressed...

Chapter 14 Being handsome or not is a lifelong matter

"Internal strength and the like are all lies."

"Ah, are you talking about the monk from last time who... uh... took care of...?"

In the dream world, Amane was rolling around on a chair, while Lelouch next to him was thinking about the monk he met last time.

However, Lelouch's Chinese is not very standard.

"Yes, although I feel something when I sit in meditation, I don't have that Dantian feeling that the monk said." Tianyin shook her head.

"Is that so?" Lelouch pondered. "If we all come from different worlds, then within these worlds, there are different elements. This might be something unique to each world, just like that inner force, or the Sakura Stone in our world..."

Lelouch had asked indirectly before that things like Sakura Stone were not found in every world. Some worlds used nuclear energy, but most used fossil fuels.

Some worlds, although still feudal, also have abilities such as magic or internal strength.

What’s even more interesting is that the histories of these worlds also seem to be different.

For example, Lelouch had never heard of the monk's words such as "send the super", "realize the country" and "take care of it". The history of his world was completely different. In the world where Xiao Tianyin was, it was said that they also had a world power called the East Asian Union or something. As for North America, there was no country called "Brittany" like his world was, but the "United States" divided into three parts.

"I see...it's a doll." On the other side, Ashina Isshin was watching Shinku strongly.

For this old man from the Warring States Period, the talking "Southern Barbarian Doll" Zhenhong is quite interesting.

But Zhenhong seemed a little annoyed. She covered her face with a book, and it was unclear whether she was reading or avoiding the old man's gaze.

"...Ashina Country?" Lelouch had asked about the old man's location before.

Unfortunately, he had never heard of the "Ashina Province" or the "Unifu" that invaded Ashina. He even went to look for Ashina in District 11 based on what the other party said, but found that the two places had completely different histories and even different topography.

At this time, Tianyin stopped rolling around and sat up. Her mind was full of the battle between Niten Ichiryu and Zao Gangzhenryu that she had seen during the day.

"It seems... so."

The girl closed her eyes, and then two swords gradually appeared in her hands.

"Hmm... two?" Ashina Isshin turned his head again.

The girl began to practice.

Er Tian Yi Liu, one with a long sword and the other with a short sword, used decisive and clever moves.

The old man seemed to be excited to see the prey, but after seeing Tianyin's small figure, he was speechless.

"Um...your name is Lelouch, right?" The old man looked at Lelouch next to him.

"Hi. Isshin-san." Lelouch said.

The other party didn't seem to want to be called by his last name, so Lelouch just called him by his first name.

Lelouch was also very curious about this old man, because everyone else came to this world in a dream, but he came here after death. Lelouch was very curious about the mechanism by which each person came to this world.

But they had just met and were not familiar with each other yet, so he didn't ask too many questions.

"Who exactly is Xiao Tianyin?" Ashina Isshin asked.

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. Little Tianyin comes from a very modern world... well, it feels like it's about five or six hundred years away from your world. As for why she created this dream world, I'm not entirely sure either."

Lelouch and Shinku actually did some research on this, the former having a high IQ and the latter having nothing to do.

But he was not very clear about what was going on in this world.

"She... is Miko... no, the young of God." Ashina Isshin narrowed his eyes.

"God?" Lelouch asked curiously.

"Ah, it's just like a cherry dragon. And this tree..." Ashina Isshin turned his head, "I once heard my husband say that there's an 'Everlasting Cherry Tree' in the fairyland. When I saw this cherry tree, I unconsciously thought of it."

"Chang Ying..."

The Middle Ages were full of superstition. When Ashina Isshin started talking about gods and the like, Lelouch actually disdained it.

However, Ashina Isshin's words "Eternal Sakura" made Lelouch a little concerned.

"This tree is called the Tokina Tree. It's the tree at the Tokina Shrine where Amane is." Lelouch said.

"Changying..." Ashina Isshin also fell into deep thought.

"Could it be because of this reason..." Lelouch guessed that the reason why the other party came to this world after death might be related to this "Eternal Sakura".

Of course, this could be a coincidence, but Lelouch believes that since everyone comes from different worlds, there must be some connection between them, and there is also "Changying" in the other world, which is definitely not a coincidence.

And more importantly, most of the things in this space were created by Tianyin's imagination - but this cherry tree was not one of them.

Is there any connection between this?

While Lelouch was thinking, Ashina Isshin had already given up his research and walked over to Amane's side.

"Xiao Tianyin." He called out to the other party.

"Is there anything wrong, Grandpa Yixin?" Tianyin also stopped.

"Do you want to become my disciple?" asked Ashina Isshin.
