Under the cherry blossoms in the garden, Chika was meditating and sharpening her spirit. Contrary to her spirit, an overflowing flow of magical power was circulating inside her body, giving her a vitality that seemed unlimited.
His father, Kenzo, was watching over him.
Chika readied the wooden sword she was holding and waited quietly. At that moment, a strong wind blew. The cherry trees in bloom swayed, and cherry petals fell in the air.
Magic flows from Chika's body into the wooden sword, and the sword swings as if slicing through the atmosphere. A single petal is split in half and falls down.
Kenzo, who was watching over him, was blindsided.
unaffiliated (e.g. newsgroup)
The technique was called "Okugi" in Mifune-ryu Kenjutsu. This technique was known as the "inner secrets" of Mifune-ryu swordsmanship.
Chika moves as if she herself is dancing amidst the petals, swinging her wooden sword and slicing through the petals. Her movements seem to be slow, but when she realizes it, the wooden sword is swinging and the petals are slashed apart.
Her unique footwork is used in the "Shippu no Mai" of Nankuru-ryu karate. A maiden wielding a wooden sword as if dancing amidst the falling cherry blossoms. The word "war maiden" comes to Kenzo's mind.
For a moment, Chika's figure seemed to split in two. Chika began to use both false and real swords. The feinted false sword disappeared, and the real sword struck from a different angle. This was a technique that could be achieved by spreading magic power throughout the entire body.
It's a hell of a move."
Chika hears Kenzo muttering and stops moving. Breathing on his shoulder, Chika turns to his father.
Were you watching?"
Chika, isn't that great? When did you get so good at this?"
I'm just learning what I've learned from Grimm Sensei and Mitsuhashi Shihan. I'm going to Kyoto tomorrow, so please take care of the children's training.
Chika teaches swordsmanship to children at a dojo.
I'll leave that to you. But wasn't the skeleton fortress in the Nanzen dungeon a difficult place to conquer?"
Do you know?"
I only heard rumors about it when I was an active adventurer."
I heard that there is a skeleton emperor in that fortress. When you defeat it, it is said to drop mythical magical equipment.

I was going to take the time to explore the skeleton fortress because I heard that not only the skeleton emperor but also the hidden treasure chests have a high probability of containing magical equipment.
The search for a skeleton fortress, which I had started to mention last fall, was extended to the following spring because it was time for joint development and testing of image-recording equipment.
Chika and her friends are now safely in their third year and can finally afford to go exploring the skeleton fortress.
The next day, Chika met up with Arisa and the others and together they headed for Kyoto.
Chika, you booked me a hotel room in Kyoto, didn't you?"
Yukari asked in a pleasant voice.
Of course. It's a first-class hotel that serves good food, so look forward to it."
After enjoying the train trip, Chika and her friends arrived in Kyoto just as the sun was about to set. Chika and her friends immediately went to a hotel, where they enjoyed a sumptuous and delicious meal and had a good time.
The next day, the Adventurers' Guild will examine the South Zen Dungeon, especially the skeleton fortress on the ninth level.
There doesn't seem to be any particular demon that's holding us back.
Alisa says in a calm voice.
Amane tilted her head and pointed to a piece of material.
I wonder if there are any mid-bosses in the room on the fifth level?"
Let's check with the officials."
Arisa and Amane asked the guild official about the mid-boss room on the fifth level. Then they were told that the middle boss, Ice Dragon, had just been revived.
Ice dragons. I wonder what they drop when you defeat them?"
Amane said with a twinkle in her eye. Hearing this, a guild official laughed.
Kirinji
child prodigy
We may find out soon, because the Ice Dragon team has gone to slay the Ice Dragon."
He seems to be saying that we might find out if that team discloses their drops without hiding them. The "Kirinji" team seems to be a Class C team of five young men.
Well, with five Class C's, it's hard to go wrong, isn't it?
Alisa said, and Amane nodded. Arisa and her team continued their investigation, and the "Kirinji" team returned in the evening.
After all, they had killed an ice dragon and brought back some drop items. This team seemed to have a strong sense of self-expression and showed off their ice dragon drops.
The adventurer who seems to be the leader of "Kirinji" took out a white magic stone
Look. This is the mythical sword 'Halper'."
The sword was curved like a sickle, with the blade inside. Legend has it that even if the opponent was an immortal god or monster, the sword could slice through its flesh and kill it.
The adventurers who had gathered around the "Kirinji" team exclaimed, "Oh, wow! If it is true that this is a mythical magical weapon, it is a magical weapon worth more than several hundred million yen.
One of the team members pulled out a ring.
It's also a drop. It's the Ring of the Magic Barrier."
It looks like a ring that can deploy a magical barrier around it like the Goblin King. This too, if put up for auction, would probably exceed a hundred million dollars.
Other items, such as jewelry, were also apparently dropped. The female adventurers who saw the jewelry were envious. Finally, he showed them what appeared to be some kind of device.
I don't know about this one, but I have a feeling it's worth something."
The adventurers around them laughed, but Amane gasped.
Alisa, that's...
I know it's a magic circuit imprinting device. I'd like to get my hands on one, but would you be willing to negotiate?"
Alisa and the others tried to negotiate, but the "Kirinji" team seemed to have decided to put it up for auction. Alisa and the others let out a sigh when they learned of this.
I have no choice. We'll just have to make money in this dungeon and sell it at auction."
Alisa said, and the other three agreed.
The next day, after diving into the Nanzen dungeon, Alisa and her team looked around the wilderness area and stared at the bleak landscape.
We've got Blue Scorpion and Armor Bear in the first layer, so we've got to keep our heads up."
Chika raised her voice.
The first one they encountered was an armor bear. It had taken up residence in an oasis-like area and attacked Chika and the others as they entered.
Chika stepped forward, Raikirimaru's Tsubasa inserted at his left hip.
brim
Place the thumb of the left hand on the part of the sword and pull the sword blade out slightly from the scabbard. This action is called koiguchi
mouth of a (sword) sheath
The first two are said to be cut.
The moment Armor Bear thought he was in [Shunsan] pause, he drew his sword and swung it away as he poured magic power into it. A blade of magical power extends from the Raikirimaru, cutting off Armor Bear's head. The magical blade generated from the Raikirimaru seems to have a power comparable to the offensive magic "Sword Force".
