At the same time, Kiryu and Ma were in the Akita Prefectural Budokan, watching the group battle in boredom.
The Japanese are also really good. This prefectural Budokan just hanged a person yesterday, and it is in normal use today, but at the place where Endo Zhongren hangs, four stools and a blockade are used to surround a small area. , put some flowers.
But if you think about it carefully, Japan has survived the atomic bomb explosion, and then thought of the strong man who went to work the next day. It seems that the death of a person is not a big deal to the Japanese, right
The organizing committee predicted that by the afternoon, about half of the field would be vacant, and the selection for individual battles would begin while the team battle continued—anyway, most of the teams had already retreated from the team battle by then.
But now, Kiryu and Ma are no longer interested in personal standings. Because he is very free, he ran around in the Budokan this morning, basically looking at the tops of all the contestants.
In this kendo conference, there is no opponent worth fighting.
Hema was very depressed, and the key point was that he didn't know why he was depressed.
It is obvious that he can win the individual championship of the National Kendo Championship for nothing, and in the future, his own dojo will be able to hang the Kuixing flag on the door in a grand manner.
This can attract some students, can't it? Find a time to go to West Japan to take the Jade Dragon Flag, and the business of the Kendo Hall will definitely boom.
Not only that, if you win the championship, maybe you can get some buffs or titles.
These two pieces of happiness, added together, should have been dreamlike happiness.
But now, all this is dull.
And the horse shook his head.
Mikako and Nanjo followed behind him step by step. Seeing him like this, the two girls looked at each other.
Mikako shrugged and spread her hands, expressing that she didn't know why Kazuma was depressed.
And the zipper of the bag equipped with bamboo swords that Nanjo was carrying had pulled a small opening at some point, revealing a small pattern on the authentic sword room of Bizen Osafune in the bag.

This night, the hospital.
After the lights in the ward were turned off, the old man of Xiyuan Temple suddenly threw a small package to Jinma Jianyi: "This is the chocolate that the old man kept privately. You can use this for breakfast tomorrow morning. The sugar and calories are enough for you to do strenuous exercise."
"I remember, when the doctor came to make an inspection tour, he said, you can't eat sugar, right?"
"I'm already at this age. If I don't eat, it will be too late. What are you worried about? Let me tell you, the favorite adventure for an old guy like me is 'disrespecting the doctor'."
Nearly Ma Jian took a look at the chocolate in his hand, estimated the amount, and thought that if the old man really ate so much chocolate at one time, he would definitely go straight to the ICU.
At this time the old man continued: "When I was your age, I had a great adventure. I stole a bicycle and drove the lady of the landlord's family over the mountain that has always blocked our sight."
"Dashan?" Jinma Kenichi asked in surprise.
"Yeah, before that, neither I nor Miss Aiko had ever seen the scenery beyond the mountain, even though I was a farm boy and she was the eldest lady.
"I saw the railway for the first time. I carried Miss Aiko and galloped along with the whizzing night train, as if I could reach anywhere in the world."
The old man stopped, as if immersed in memories.
Kenichi Jinma couldn't help asking: "Did you arrive in the end?"
"I've arrived. I've reached the end of the road. Greet the sunrise with Ms. Aiko.
"Just as the sun was rising, I saw a sight that I will never forget, several large ships passing by the distant headlands, pulling their whistles.
"It was the first time I saw such a big ship, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, I even thought the siren sound was the roar of a sea monster.
"Miss Aiko was also shocked, but she had seen the ship in the pictorial, so seeing my panic, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up."
The old man paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic: "At that time, Japan was very strange. On the one hand, it was able to build such a big ship, but on the other hand, I lived in a mountain village so close to the sea, but I still lived as if Life in the Warring States Period.
"In our village, only Ms. Aiko's house has electric lights, which are not commonly used. Ms. Aiko uses kerosene lamps for studying at night, but I can only light candles at night.
"Except for Ms. Aiko's house, the only bicycles in the whole village are issued by the government to the postman. I stole this bike and took Ms. Aiko on this big adventure."
Kenichi Jinma asked with concern: "Then the end of your adventure..."
"I got caught, the telegram is really powerful." The old man smiled wryly, "and Miss Aiko was sent to Tokyo to go to school soon. I studied desperately and wanted to take the exam in Tokyo.
"Then I regretfully found that even if I passed the exam, I would not be able to study.
"I don't care about the rise and fall of empires and the like. I will choose the military academy because I am a poor boy. Even if I go to those national universities that are free of tuition, I can't afford the living expenses in big cities.
"For poor kids like me, military school is the only option."
"So, you went to Toyama Army Academy?" Kinma Kenichi asked.
"No," the old man shook his head, then grinned at Jin Majian, "I'm a boy, you must understand that you are also a boy, and finally I chose the big ship.
"I went to Eta Island, which is farther away from Tokyo than my hometown.
"But I don't regret it at all. Thinking about it now, it's good that I didn't go to the Army. These beasts are a disgrace to our entire country."
Jin Ma Jian nodded and asked, "Then what happened afterwards? You... have you seen Miss Aiko?"
"I saw it, but it was after the war. At that time, I came to Tokyo, which was still in ruins, and asked Miss Aiko's whereabouts, and finally found her.
"She is living tenaciously with her two children and six adopted war orphans.
"Girls are very powerful. They have incredible resilience. I can't imagine how much suffering she has experienced. Compared with the suffering she has experienced, the so-called hells I have seen must be insignificant."
The old man waved his hand: "I'm digressing, I'm telling you this, the main thing I want to say is, be self-willed when you are young and can be self-willed. Don't wait until everything is lost before you regret it."
Jin Ma Jianyi looked at the old man of Xiyuan Temple: "I... understand."
"By the way, the window of this ward is actually a bicycle shed below. The height from the window sill to the top of the shed is actually less than one person's height, and the height of the shed and the ground is only more than one person." The old man of Xiyuan Temple looked at Jin Ma Jianyi, "If it weren't for my bones The quality is loose, and I can't stand this toss, I have already gone out for a walk."
Jin Ma Jian laughed out loud.
