Akabane's house, mansion.
When Luo Zhen and his party came back from outside in great force, the gate here was already filled with people who came to greet them.
"Welcome back!"
"Welcome back!"
A group of tribesmen reunited with their families one after another, and everyone gathered at the gate, full of laughter and laughter.
When Luo Zhen and Akabane Leizhen also got off the carriage, the laughter and laughter had died down a lot.
"Master Narukami, welcome back."
Following the greeting from one of the tribesmen, the other tribesmen also gathered around Luo Zhen.
"I heard, Master Narukami."
"I heard that you defeated a very powerful shikigami in the forbidden area of Izanagi-ryu."
"He also set a fire in the forbidden area."
"I really want to see the expressions of people from Izanagi-ryu."
The members of the Akabane clan spoke like this one after another, and their words were full of enthusiasm.
Within a few days, everything Luo Zhen had done in Izanagi-ryu was passed back to the family, and people in the family talked about it with great interest.
"It's a pity that Master Narukami is not engaged to the princess of Izanagi-ryu."
"But that's not Master Narukami's fault."
"If Master Narukami had gone alone, maybe things would have been done long ago."
"yes."
The tribesmen were talking so much that they seemed to be going too far.
At least, Akabane Raijin was not only ignored the fact that he fought alongside Luo Zhen, but was also considered to be holding him back.
This made Luo Zhen frown slightly.
Only Akabane Raijin turned a blind eye to all this and seemed not surprised at all by this development.
"Who makes me a waste? Even if I tell others that I contributed to Yan Yanluo's matter, others won't believe it, right?"
Akabane Leizhen said this like a self-mockery.
After all, the Akabane clan has long been accustomed to Akabane Lei's inaction, and now they suddenly hear that he has shown great power, how can they not doubt it
If it weren't for the fact that there were people like Domon Nichirin, Kamo Subaru, and Yuzuri Sixth Company in Izanagi-ryu who could testify, then others wouldn't believe that Akabane Raigen really contributed, right
Reality is so cruel.
until…
"I trust you."
As such a sentence came out, Akabane Lei's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned his head and looked at the door.
There, Akabane Tianquan walked slowly towards this side, showing a trusting smile towards Akabane Raijin.
"As expected of my brother, he did a great job."
Akabane Tianquan praised him like this.
"Brother Tian!"
Akabane Leizhen suddenly felt like he was redeemed.
"Ning Shen has worked hard too." Akabane Tianquan turned his attention to Luo Zhen and said: "I have also heard about the matter. I didn't expect to be able to defeat Yanyan Luo. I am curious how much your ability has improved now. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhen said indifferently: "Can't you find out when the next puppet drill is held?"
"That's right." Chiyu Tianquan couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Akabane Sokan, who had been silent next to him, spoke up.
"Okay, everyone, go back and reunite with your family. Don't crowd at the gate."
Akabane Kongkan warned while speaking to Luo Zhen, Akabane Tianquan, and Akabane Leizhen.
"You brothers should also get together alone and talk about your feelings during this time."
After saying that, Akabane Konguan took the lead and walked into Akabane's house with his family members. Only the three brothers of Akabane's family stayed here, watching the clan members leave.
"By the way, Brother Tian." Akabane Leizhen asked Akabane Tenquan: "Where is Nadeshiko?"
"She is in the dojo." Akabane Tenquan said with a smile: "After hearing about your activeness in Izanagi-ryu, Nadeshiko has also been working hard in the past few days and has been staying in the dojo to practice "Telekinesis" skills, and strive to master the "Puppet Technique" as soon as possible."
"Really?" Akabane Leizhen pondered.
"Let's go meet Nadeshiko." Akabane Tenquan patted Akabane Raijin on the shoulder and said this to Luo Zhen.
"That's fine." Luo Zhen didn't object and said, "I may have to go into seclusion again later, so I'll go see Nadeshiko before that."
Izanagi-ryu and his party made Luo Zhen realize the importance of his abilities again.
Therefore, Luo Zhen couldn't wait to start his practice again.
"The level of needs to continue to improve. Even if it cannot reach the level of summoning high-level familiars, it should still be able to master the summoning of several intermediate familiars."
"It's time to improve on the . I haven't yet mastered the group tactics I saw in the library last time."
"I have to think about the skills of the eight steps of magicians to enter the next stage."
"There is also the opening of the magic circuit. This is considered a top priority. After all, no matter what kind of magic it is, it requires magic power to support it."
To sum up, Luo Zhen still has a lot of things to do.
Not to mention…
"I haven't even started studying the that I'm so envious of."
Luo Zhen became excited when he thought of these things.
Rather than going out and fooling around, staying at home and studying magic is Luo Zhen's biggest pursuit.
"As expected of you."
Chiyu Tianquan seemed to be able to understand Luo Zhen's pursuit, and his words were full of praise for Luo Zhen.
However, this is definitely not an interesting topic for Akabane Raijin.
"Okay, let's go find Nadeshiko quickly."
Akabane Raijin urged me sullenly.
So, the group left the gate and headed in the direction of the dojo.
… …
Akabane's family, dojo.
At this time, there was only a slender figure in the vast dojo.
The little black-haired girl in a kimono was sitting on the cold floor, her eyes closed, and considerable magic power was flowing around her body.
"Hey!"
With a crisp cry, the little girl stretched out her hand, turned her magic power into telepathy, and injected it into the puppet standing in front of her.
"Kacha kacha..."
The puppet suddenly started to move.
The movement is not very flexible, like a baby that has just learned to walk, staggering a little, making the swinging sound of the joints very clear to the surroundings.
"Just continue...continue..."
The cute little girl murmured nervously, constantly injecting magic into the puppet and controlling its movements.
Gradually, the puppet's movements began to become more flexible.
"good!"
The little girl suddenly showed a cute and happy smile.
He didn't notice at all that three figures had appeared behind him.
"What's so good!?"
Akabane Leizhen deliberately raised his voice and shouted.
"ah!"
The little girl screamed, and her magic power became chaotic, causing the puppet to jump up like a spring and fly directly towards the three figures behind it.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the puppet's feet kicked Akabane Raijin hard in the face.
"Goooh...!?"
Akabane Raijin fell.
As for Luo Zhen and Chi Yu Tianquan, they very calmly deployed their shields and blocked the flying puppets.
The little girl turned around and saw the three figures behind her, and she cried out in surprise.
"Brothers!"
She is none other than Akabane Nadeshiko, the youngest daughter of Akabane Sokan.
