One problem arose when Kensei Kamiizumi died. It was what to do with the secretary he had left behind. A secretary called the Dragon Tiger Roll. It was the secret of a man called Kensei who hung and wrote down his whole life.

According to the master's will, these two books were to be divided into two disciples, but the question was which one would get which.

The Book of Dragon Tigers is obviously different.

The book of dragons, also known as the book of moves. It was a coveted book with all of Kamiizumi's skills written, describing a special attack that neither Ronin nor Toshiro had yet learned.

On the other hand, the Book of Tigers, called the Book of the Heart, was mainly written on the spiritual side, and the contents were thin. Physical thickness is also four times different.

Naturally, then, the book of dragons will be more valuable. Toshiro naturally thought he would want the Book of Dragons, too. So control the destination.

"Hey, Toshiro, I'll get the book of dragons. Because the Book of Dragons is better. Besides, you adored the cat that lives in the East Room. He said he was more of a cat than a dog, and give me the book of dragons."

It was difficult and close to the claim, but unexpectedly, Toshiro acknowledges.

"In the first place, in the Master's will, you meant the Book of Dragons. I have no objection."

"I guess it's because I'm stronger."

Toshiro giving the book of dragons to Ronin, who laughs at his heels.

"Dude, are you sure you're willing to give it to me?

I'm really willing to give it to you.

"Is that okay? The Book of Dragons also says you don't know about special moves."

"I know. But Master Kamiizumi was told during his death. All I really need is the Book of Tigers."

"What? You talked to your master about the Book of Dragon Tigers?

Of course you didn't.

"Yes, no, we talked."

That said, it is a lie. I did not talk to Kamiizumi about the details of the Book of Dragon Tigers.

(... I guess Toshiro, my brother and apprentice, is cuter)

Such childish thoughts arise, but Ronin shakes her neck to the side. I thought you were just a kid. Change your mind.

"Okay. Then I'll have the Book of Dragons. You're the Book of Tigers."

"No problem."

"And this is a suggestion, why don't we train together from now on?

"Saying?

"Learn new special moves while I read the book of dragons. Tell me your master's heart while you read the Book of Tigers."

"I see, that's good"

Toshiro offers his right hand when he says so. It took a while to realize that it was a handshake. Because Ronin lived a life unrelated to such a healthy spirit. But now Ronin, who wasn't even young enough to sell a fight to his brother apprentice, said he would shake Toshiro's right hand back.

"It's pretty much the same thing we're doing just because Jiji's gone, but it's nice to meet you"

"Right, keep it up"

Leaking an invincible laugh at each other, Ronin and Toshiro resumed their training.

Then for more than a decade, the two encourage training. Keep waving your caged sword in the mountains. At night we talked about reading each other's secrets and getting to know each other, and when it was over, we talked about the path of the sword as we followed dinner.

Occasionally, he speaks ill of a teacher who has died first and chooses to drink. I loved the cheapest liquor from the liquor store at the foot because I didn't have any gold, or my own hangover, but I didn't care what the liquor tasted like.

I just couldn't wait to be happy drinking with what I was trying to culminate in the same path.

That's how I spend a long time, but one day, as I pack my master's things, I find a single letter. When I saw the sender's name, it said Kazehana there.

It takes a while to remember that name.

"... that's the name of the master's daughter"

"The name of the master's daughter? Did Master Kamiizumi have a daughter?"

"Oh, I heard you sprinkled seeds once upon a time."

When I say that, I realize that it's not that far away that my daughter named Kazehana lives there.

"I see, then, for once, shall we go and see how the daughter is"

"There is no possibility of beauty for a master's daughter. And I guess I'll just say goodbye."

"I don't want that. I just have a bad dream if my teacher's daughter is in trouble."

"I see, you're absolutely right"

It must have been heartbreaking that the master would also make his daughter known at the time of his death. Taking that worry felt like a disciple's endeavor.

Head to the foot of the mountain. You can see the village where Kazehana lives, but Ronin and Toshiro immediately perceive the anomaly. Smoke clearly visible from afar, burnt smell. There is also a mix of blood odors in it. Immediately observe that a battle has taken place.

"... no, not a fight, a massacre"

Find the murderer who is dying in vain. Apparently, he was attacked by a large band of bandits. (* This place is over, that's fine. If you're in the middle of something, Ronin and Toshiro are in more of a hurry to help! so)

"Damn, if only we'd arrived a little earlier"

"It just starts with remorse."

Now we're going to find Kazehana, the master's daughter, and we're going to keep going. Ronin also hears the sound of a sword in the village square when it becomes so.

There was the body of one woman rolling over there. Soon you'll know that's Kazehana. Because it left the shadow of the sword saint Kamiizumi dark.

Ronin, who sees the body of the master's daughter, dyes his heart in anger, but Toshiro controls it.

"Toshiro, why, stop. Take my master's daughter's enemies."

I know how that feels.

Toshiro seems to remember his anger too, but he seems to be more concerned about it than that. Stuck in front of his mother's body and pay attention to the girl waving her sword.

"What, that thin little girl?"

"You have a Japanese sword. And that fat muscle."

"It's a kamiizumi stream!

When she yells like that, the girl looses her body loose and is slashed by bandits.

Moving like running water, electroluminescent fire sword judgment. I didn't think of her as a very old daughter, but the move was indeed the Kamiizumi stream itself. Soon we'll know she's Kazehana's daughter.

"You can't fight for blood."

"Take your parents' enemies yourself"

If you look, all the bandits who attacked the village had been slaughtered by her. There was no need for Ronin or Toshiro to lend a hand, and he was taking revenge.

The girl eventually kills the last bandit, he said, turning to the front of a bandit who was slashed and losing his will to fight.

"... death to the villains"

If you say so, you stab the bandit to death. No hesitation whatsoever, but naturally. Nothing is silent about being killed by their mothers and fellow villagers. But Kazehana's daughter did not become a murderer trapped in revenge. Stabbing the last bandit, he picks up the fallen bamboo and digs a hole. At first I thought you were crazy. Because it wasn't just the mother and the villagers, they even started burying the bodies of the bandits.

Why, do that. When asked if the bandits did not hate them, she said plainly.

"... even villains can't leave you alone. Because if you leave it there might be an infectious disease."

Besides,

"If you die, it's all Buddha, that's what your mother said"

A girl who speaks pale. That was the encounter with Kazehana's daughter, Kamiizumi's grandson, "Hiffne".
