1322. Farewell to the Spear/Another Defeat

"Spears are one of mankind's oldest weapons."

Ray says...

"Of course, at first... though I just built a stoneware on the tip of a long stick. Although sharp metal blades can now be worn after human history has become recorded. Famously, the ancient Greek longspears and soldiers armed with large shields formed more densely forming formations, and" Phalanx "fought by deploying" Spearbusters "forward. In Alexander the Great's Macedonian army, we've increased the length of the spear to become a spear called 'Salissa'."

Ray, to put it that far... sees Heiji.

"Isn't Heiji taking a detailed lecture at the European Academy?

"Yes......"

Heiji answers......

"Because old wars can't be like giving instructions on a radio like they are now...... it was very important to know how to convey the commander's orders to all armies. Using a group with spears together as a combat unit can move large numbers under one 'will'. But it will require a large number of well-trained soldiers… In Europe, from ancient times to the Middle Ages, the dense formation of soldiers with spears has become obsolete when each of the gods becomes a feudal society that runs its own territory"

"It's a time for knights and mercenaries."

Ray... smiles.

"But when Switzerland became independent of the Hapsburg family in the 15th century… the civic soldiers beat the cavalry by creating a dense formation with a long spear called 'Pike'"

"That will bring back the age of spears."

"That's right. Even after guns became used for war, the early guns took a very long time to fire in succession… Spear soldiers were indispensable for the escort and melee combat of the gunmen, who in the 16th century would establish a tactic called 'Tercio', in which the Spanish army would combine soldiers with guns and soldiers with spears to form formations. Even then, spears will be used as a force of war on the battlefields of Europe until the seventeenth century."

Heidi says so.

"Put a sword on the tip of a musket gun… 'The Gun Sword' was invented. Until then, we had separate gunmen and spear soldiers... but when it comes to melee combat, we can attach a gunsword to the gun and deal with it so that we can make all our soldiers into gunmen."

"It is also significant that the increased productivity of European countries has allowed soldiers to go guns over. Before that, it was difficult to prepare large quantities of expensive, complex structured guns. Spears are cheaper and easier to make than guns."

"I mean, in Europe... spears have become swords"

A weapon that attaches a blade to the tip of a long gun and... stabs or cleaves enemies.

"Although small guns today have the smallest and shortest possible structure for easy handling...... many small guns that are still officially employed by many countries around the world still have gunswords ready to be mounted. And training to fight with a sword... although many countries have switched melee fights to combat knives... it's still happening"

"Because there is a reach, more than a knife. Although the U.S. Army has stopped teaching gunswords in 2010, those in the Marine Corps are still training to fight with gunswords. As far as the British army is concerned, whether it's the Falkland conflict, the war in Iraq or Afghanistan… we are carrying out assaults with gunswords in action"

Even in the 21st century, gunswords are still used.

"Although spears themselves are no longer used in modern times... spear moves are handed down to gunswords. In fact, even in Japan, when we adopted Western military technology in Meiji, we also adopted gunswords… but to establish them as gunswordsmanship, we refer to ancient Japanese techniques."

Ray says... that's what he says.

"Does that mean... that our chestnut palace flow technique no longer fits the times?

Kurikomiya asks...... directly in the face.

"As for the martial arts used in action...... I'm sorry. In times when there are firearms, spears don't dominate weapons."

Ray ran out of words.

"Communicating old forms of martial arts to modern times...... If you mean 'traditional protection' then I think it makes sense. Kurikumiya-sama's technique itself cannot be used in action."

"I think it's awesome to be able to use 'chi' moves... but apart from that, you can use them even without a spear"

Kishita smiles and says so.

"So you really need to use a spear...... instead, have you narrowed the width of your moves? Though I would consider something more practical."

Kishita looks at the 'Spear for Practice' in her hand......

"For example... you don't have to be in the shape of a spear. It's not weird for a girl your age to carry around. That's right... for example, using an umbrella, a racket of lacrosse, something a little longer... it's fine to lose the monkey stuff. The contents are made of special metal or something to enhance it for combat use... but if you carry a weapon like that, you can divert the moves you learned with a spear!

Smile, say so.

"Later, like me... you know, carrying something flat that the average person doesn't know"

Mr. Kishita puts his practice spear on the ground... and goes to pick up the 'crushed flail' that was standing at the flowerbed in the courtyard.

Heavy weapons with chains and steel bridges at the end of the long pattern...... lifted, jarring.

"I'm also concerned about colors and all that. If you look at it, don't even know it's a weapon."

I see... there are pink or blue lines in the pattern.

This alone can mislead the eyes of the world.

"If you want to use your moves in the real world... you have to adapt them to the real world. There's no way in the world you can carry a stripped spear with you right now..."

Kishita chuckles.

In the Chestnut Palace Flow technique as it is now...... it has only historical value as an ancient stinking martial art.

If we're going to fit in with the times, we have to think about it.

"Of what you said... I see what you mean"

Chestnut Palace says... Relax.

"... element lady"

My subordinate chef looked at the Lord worried.

"But aren't you convinced by 'mind'? This way, even if it turns out"

Ray says that gently.

"Later, there is also the path of completely sporting Kurikumiya-sama's technique and making it popular to the public… we will still have our hands on the original technique in order to make it acceptable to the modern public. It will not be a sport for ordinary people in the Kurikomiya family, which has been handed down from generation to generation."

That too... you're right.

We need to sharpen the part called "The Art of Killing the Enemy," which is the backbone of martial arts...

"Fujimiya says...... Chestnut Palace Flow Technique should be interrupted like this?!

Kurikomiya says, strongly......

"I didn't say that. If you intend to continue to be left with Chestnut Palace Liquid Art... we say that you should make your own decision as to what form it will be left behind."

Ray says...... clearly.

"Like the ancestors of the Chestnut Palace family... tell your grandchildren the moves of your ancestors as they are... there is also a way to entrust the later"

Your grandson means... Mr. Kurimiya Elephant, I guess.

Only Elephant Kurikomiya and Kurumi, your chef... learned all about Kurikomiya Ryuji from previous generations.

Likewise, Elephant tells her own children and grandchildren... the moves that remain in the Edo period...

What you do with that move has a hand in throwing it round the offspring.

"Not even now...... in the Chestnut Palace family, only I and Nutnuts actively learned spears. And those who are bitter about us… there are many in the house. I've been told in person that in order to stay in shape as a famous family, you should abandon the technique…"

Kurikomiya says...

"As it is now...... I feel that in the Chestnut Palace family, it will also be forbidden to do spear arches. Besides, I am a woman... and I will be sent to my wife in another house... and I don't think I will be allowed to teach spears to the successors of the Chestnut Palace main house."

In other words... as it stands, there is a good chance that Kurikomiya-san's legacy will stop.

"So... we made it a" side chamber "for Kuromori-sama... and we had a child who inherited the name of Kuromiya, and we wanted to tell that child how to do it."

'Side room' doesn't mean we'll have a formal marriage...... Mr. Kurikomiya's last name remains the same.

I can also tell my child the name of the chestnut palace.

"I understand how you feel, but... don't you think it's a little too self-serving?

I've been listening to Mr. Chestnut Palace, missouri... opening his mouth.

"That's... I think Master Misuzu is right... because I'm stuffed with chopped wings too..."

"But your story... it's all just for your convenience! Bringing it into our 'home' is annoying!

Misuzu, strongly... says so.

"also, sorry...... no"

Kurikomiya kneels on the courtyard floor.

"Lady......!

The chef rushed over to his husband.

In the meantime, now...

I succeeded in 'letting Mr. Kurikomiya lose'.

The problem is... from here on out, what are we going to do...

...... hmm?

……

……

Dory and Anna...... are out in the courtyard at some point.

Dory lifted the practice spear Kishita put on the ground...

"Maybe... those kids want a spear match too?

Ning says...

"Ma... I guess so. I think I made a lot of noise while watching it."

Anya says so... and goes out to the courtyard.

"I'll take care of this girl... Spear, will you lend me?

Anya tells Chestnut Palace…

"Mr. Anya... do you have any experience with spears?

"You can have another fight with me!

Ray and Kishita say so...

"Hey, there's something I need to teach these kids. Me too... Master Kyoko has taught me the basics of barbership."

That's what Anya said, when she takes a practice spear from Mr. Kurikomiya...... shake it boom and see the balance.

Dory was doing the same thing.

"It's very important... because it's something I really need to tell you today"

... Anya?

"Earlier... the kid who was getting along with those kids... oh, you. I'm sorry, can you wave back at those kids for me?

Anya tells Anise she's indoors.

"Ok...... good luck, Dory -!

"Good luck, Dory!

Anise and Luna smiled and waved at Dory.

Dory, I wonder what it's like to be supported by people for the first time.

He looked confused... but looked at the Anjes and waved back gently.

"Well then... be the first!

In Anya's words, Ray...

"So... READY...... GO!!!

Now in English, declare the match begin!!

"... Ha!!!

For starters, Anya... turned to Dory and fired a blow!

"... hyaww!

Dory avoids shuba... quickly turns around and tries to poke behind Anya!

"... Gu!

Anya too... bad minutes.

That's right, Dory, who's been wielding drill spears for a long time.

He is better at handling spears than Anya.

"...... Yikes!!!

Oh, my God, Anya let go of her backsword toward Dory!

Dory is a spear tip and when he drops his back sword...... he stuffs his time all at once!!!

"... Chaisah!!!

Oh, I can't do this to Anya...!

Everyone, the moment they thought so......!!!

"... piggyyyyy????!!!"

Dory's movements... stop.

... Anya.

I was holding a pistol in my hand to see where I took it from.

Besides, that muzzle...

It wasn't Dory, it was directed at Anise, who was in the "Mansion" room.

"Muggy!!

From the side, Dory's sister Anna storms into Anya......

"... Yikes!

Mr. Kishita moves softly and seizes Anna.

Dory remained frozen and standing up.

"Yes... that's it"

Anya puts the pistol down.

"That's fine... because these kids have figured it out, too"

◇ ◇ ◇

Back in the dining room... Anya explained it to us.

"Both Dory and Anna..." Girl Assassin "So all I know is how to throw my life away and fight" Kill the Target ""

To the depressed Dory and Anna, Anise and the others were smiling and recommending ice cream.

"Because I've only been taught to go to the scene of the assassination I was instructed to do and kill my opponent with abandonment… I've never experienced the fight to protect my loved ones before"

...... yeah.

"Earlier, yes... that was' play ', but Dory was only seeing me as a contender when I was fighting. I was completely blind."

"It was weird in time too, wasn't it? It was a troubled way to fight, like going to kill someone for sure, because you don't mind a fight."

Kishita says so.

"That's why I told you it shouldn't be..."

Anya smiled bitterly.

"That's the way to fight… I wanted them to know that the people they wanted to protect couldn't."

"If you are a 'guard' … you will always gauge your intercession with the 'enemy' so as to be the 'shield' of those who protect you"

Michi says...

"Right. Always know where your enemies are and where the people you need to protect… and strive to eliminate any danger you can."

That's what Ray says.

"Besides, assuming all the possibilities...!

It also means that Anya may have a pistol hidden… think and act.

"You can't just throw yourself away, you can't protect your loved ones. I wanted you to learn that today."

Anya said...

"Look, it's delicious! This ice cream is also handmade by Mana!

Aniez offers a spoonful of ice cream to Dory's mouth.

It's really delicious.

Koyomi eats ice cream from her plate in front of her eyes and shows it to be... safe food.

"Ana, eat, too!

Luna gave Anna a plate of ice cream too.

So Anna... eats a bite of ice cream.

"... Delisha!

Anna reports to her sister, smiling.

So, too, Dory... licked the ice cream on Anise's spoon pero.

"... wi!

"Hey, it's delicious! Yes, please eat!

"Homma, it's delicious ice cream."

"Yeah, that's delicious...... Eli"

The twins also appeal to the deliciousness of ice cream.

Dory also took his own spoon... and started eating ice cream.

On its face, there is a grin.

"You must have been angry at yourself for not realizing that you were going to 'protect'... but I think this will change the way those kids fight"

Anya says...

"Because those kids are not stupid. We'll figure out how we're going to use the technology we've acquired to protect our family."

I've concentrated too much only on defeating my opponents... the reflection that I forgot about the Anises and put them in danger...

Change Dory and Anna......

"You guys are, too. Make your thinking more flexible."

Anya said this to the chestnut palaces, who are deeply depressed again.

"The technology you guys have right now... is fantastic. That's true. Doesn't it matter how you use that technology?

To Anya's words, hah...... Mr. Kurikomiya.

"Before you think about what you want to do with that technology... I think you should think about what you can do with that technology. That's more constructive... positive...!
