Recalling the memory fragments evoked by Kiryu's question just now, Qingto couldn't help but ask himself the question that he had recited silently several times in the past few days:

Am I...awakening the hidden personality of the "fighting maniac"?

During the period after the war, Aomori couldn't help but feel astonished every time he recalled the whole battle between him and Suehiro.

When did I become a person with this kind of personality...??

When I competed with others in various fighting skills before, I had never experienced this feeling of getting more and more excited as I fought, and my whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds.

Could it be that the previous battles were too "low-end", not the kind of fight to the death where the whole body was tense, so it couldn't arouse my emotions?

Then...it seems a bit like a pervert...

For the first time in his life, Qingdeng wondered if there were any hidden perverted elements in his character...

When Qingto's mind wandered to an unknown place, Kiryu's question suddenly brought Qingto's mind back to reality.

"...Tachibana-kun, are you interested in the sword-drawing technique?"

"Ah?" Qingden turned to look at Kiryu who was helping him wrap the linen, "What's wrong? Why are you asking me this suddenly?"

"It's nothing." Kiryu smiled and said, "When I went to change other people's dressings, I overheard them discussing topics related to the art of drawing swords, so I just asked you casually."

"Oh, that's it." After listening to Kiryu's extremely reasonable explanation, Qingto no longer cared too much about why Kiryu asked him this question.

"The art of drawing swords... I'm quite interested in it."

"I've always liked moves that can knock down the enemy with one move."

"The art of drawing a sword happens to be the pursuit of 'killing with one strike'."

"If you can master the art of drawing a sword, the available attack methods will be enriched in one fell swoop."

"If I have the chance, I would also like to learn the art of drawing swords."

"However, the Natural Rishin-ryu I am currently studying does not teach the art of drawing swords."

At this time, Qingdeng changed into a half-joking tone.

"So right now, I probably won't have the chance to experience any sword-drawing techniques."

"Tachibana-kun, you like those moves that can knock down the enemy with one move..." Kiryu said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I also like those moves very much."

"When I used to learn swordsmanship from my father, I loved to practice the 'one-hit-kill' moves."

"Hmm? Boss Kiryu, do you know how to use a sword?"

"Yes." Kiryu raised the corner of his mouth, "I once learned swordsmanship in Edo, and I know a little bit about it."

"Boss Kiryu, you really have many talents... So, boss Kiryu, which school do you study under?"

"...Feiyan Canxinliu."

——Feiyan Canxinliu?

Qingto, who had never heard the name of this genre before, had no time to show his confusion when Boss Kiryu said quickly:

"Ju-kun, you probably have never heard of this genre, because it is an extremely unpopular genre with almost no one studying it and no one knowing about it."

Qingdeng nodded: "Feiyan Canxinliu... your name is quite majestic."

"The older you get, the faster you feel that time flies by." Kiryu's cheeks now felt a bit lonely, "In the blink of an eye... I have been practicing this 'Feiyan Canshin-ryu'

This was all seventy or eighty years ago."

"Seven or eighty years ago... Speaking of which, Boss Kiryu, I still don't seem to know how old you are."

"I am 92 years old this year."

"92 years old..." Qingto was stunned, "Boss Kiryu, I feel that in terms of mental outlook, some middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s can't compare to you."

"Hahahaha, thank you for the compliment. Okay, the linen has been tied up, you can get dressed."

"Mr. Tachibana! Mr. Tachibana! Are you there?!"

At this time, a very loud voice came from outside the room.

"Komuro-kun?" Qingden raised his eyebrows toward the door, "I'm here, please come in."

As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, the sliding door of the room was immediately and unceremoniously opened, and the white and fat body of the small room appeared in front of Qingdeng's eyes.

"Mr. Kiryu, you are here too." Seeing that Kiryu was behind him, Komuro quickly bowed to Kiryu as well.

"Komuro-kun, what do you do with your sudden visit?" Qingteng asked.

Xiaoshi laughed heartily a few times: "Hahaha, nothing happened! I just finished visiting Mr. Angoulême and I was bored, so I thought I would also come and visit you, Mr. Tachibana."

After saying that, Xiao Shi walked to the opposite side of Qingdeng and sat down cross-legged.

Qingdeng, who helped them repel the incoming "anti-barbarian patriots" and had a close friendship with them, was their comrade-in-arms and benefactor.

Therefore, in the past few days, Xiaoshi and others treated Qingden as if they wanted to burn incense and worship.

The title of Qingteng has also changed from the original "Tangerine" and "Tangerine-kun" to "Mr. Tachibana". When speaking to Qingteng, he also uses the highest level of honorifics.

However, thanks to the respect that Komuro and others have for Qingnobo, the relationship between Qingnobo and Komuro has become much closer.

It has become one of the most common sights these days for Xiaoshi and others to come to Qingdeng to "visit".

Qingden sat back to make more space for the small room sitting cross-legged in front of him, and asked:

"Komuro-kun, have you just finished visiting Mr. Angoulême?"

"Oh, yes."

"How is Mr. Angouleme now? Is his mental state better?"

"How should I say..." Komuro scratched his scalp that was particularly shiny due to his Tsukiyo hair, "It's a little better, but it should still take some time to heal."

"It should have been a very safe trip, but something like this happened..." Qingdeng said softly, "Mr. Angoulême and Miss Angoulême are also unlucky."

"Yes." Komuro sighed, "I feel sorry for Mr. Angoulême."

"Mr. Angoulême and his companions are considered to be the best-tempered of all the barbarians I know."

"Since I came to Japan, I have been doing business in an orderly manner and have never done anything abominable."

"In the end, I was almost killed by a group of 'anti-barbarian' thugs..."

Although there is no detailed count, in that "snowy night battle", the number of enemies killed by Qingdeng and others was at least 60.

Counting the number of our own casualties, there were more than seventy corpses and a pile of broken limbs scattered in that small area...

Even if there were more than seventy cat and dog corpses lying there, the scene would be horrifying, let alone more than seventy human corpses lying there...

Before the battle was over, I was so nervous that I didn't feel uncomfortable when faced with such a bloody scene.

After the battle, looking at the scene of corpses everywhere, all kinds of discomfort immediately burst out...

Anthony and Elodie, the grandparents, felt the most discomfort.

After all, the former only makes a living by doing business and has never seen a bloody businessman, while the latter is a 12-year-old girl.

In the past few days, the grandfather and grandson basically stayed in the room, looking gloomy every day.

Elodie has a very cheerful temperament. Qingden has hardly seen her smile in the past few days.

In order to comfort Elodie, Kinoshita Mai has been staying with the child, eating and living with the child.

Ayoto guessed that Kinoshita Mai must be in Elodie's room right now, still trying to cheer up Elodie as soon as possible.

After chatting about the current situation of Anthony and the others, Aomori began to chat with Kiryu, who seemed to be very free now, and Komuro.

After chatting for a while, Komuro asked how Qingden was recovering from his injury.

After receiving Qingdeng's reply that "he has recovered well from his injury and is in great condition", Komuro's eyes lit up:

"So - Mr. Tachibana, since you are in good condition now, do you recall anything about how you led us to victory that night?"

——Ah, here we go again...asking me this again...

After sighing silently in his heart, Qingdeng smiled helplessly:

"Komuro-kun, it's no use how many times you ask me."

"That night, I really just led you based on my 'feelings' and came up with strategies based on my 'feelings'."

"If you ask me to explain the process in detail, I really can't explain it."

Komuro has always been very curious: How did Qingteng know that he could block the "rejection faction" attack by arranging defenses like that in the battle six days ago?

In order to clear up the confusion, Komuro has come to ask Aomori repeatedly almost every day recently, "How did you do it?"

No matter how many times Xiao Shi asked, Qingteng's answer was always the same: it depends on feeling.

Qingdeng really didn't lie to deceive the small room.

That night, he really set up the formation and command based on his feelings...

I suddenly had a wide field of vision that I hadn't figured out yet, suddenly I saw a weird "air flow", and suddenly I could feel the strength of everyone on the battlefield...

After suddenly possessing these strange abilities, one strategy after another kept popping up in Qingdeng's mind.

After seeing that the enemy's organization was very chaotic and relied on momentum to fight, the idea suddenly came to mind: "Stabilize the front line, consume the enemy's momentum and then directly attack the 'main formation', kill Yamada, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
To be continued...
