——I really shouldn’t be obsessed with makeup...

Isshiki Hana, whose head was slightly lowered, secretly said in her heart with a disappointed tone.

On the way from leaving the Isshiki Sword Hall to arriving at the All Arms Hall, Isshikika's self-confidence was constantly declining.

Originally, Isshiki was quite confident in the red lips and eyebrows that she had put on for a long time.

However... when Isshikika left the Isshiki Sword Hall and went to the All-Arms Hall, she met many girls with very beautiful makeup on the way.

Osaka's economy is so developed that girls with beautiful makeup can be seen everywhere.

Looking at the girls with beautiful makeup one after another, Isshiki couldn't help but lower her head slowly and subconsciously...

Subconsciously trying to hide my poor makeup...

——I'll find a chance to wipe off the makeup on my face later...

When Isshikika was secretly thinking about how to remove the makeup on her face, Shibata's words "Huh? Majima-kun?" interrupted Isshikika's thoughts, allowing Isshikika to join her grandfather and others.

He cast a suspicious look at Shibata who was not far away.

…

…

"Mr. Majima, who is this?" Naoshu looked at Shibata who was running towards them quickly, and then looked at Ogata.

"This is someone I know." Ogata explained.

When Ogata had just finished explaining to Naoshu who this person was, Shibata happened to have arrived in front of Ogata.

"Isshiki-sama, this is the first time we meet." After arriving at Ogata, Shibata did not immediately talk to Ogata. Instead, he bowed to Naoshu very politely and said hello, "I am a disciple of Yuanmeikan——

Ryuyuki Shibata.”

Naoshu nodded to Shibata.

"Shibata." Ogata asked this cheerful and strong man whom he quite liked, "Are you... coming to participate in the 'Grand Trial Match'?"

"Hahaha, not really."

Shibata smiled heartily.

"I haven't gotten the honor of participating in the 'Grand Trial' yet. I just came to watch."

"I am an apprentice at the Yuanming Hall. Before I served as Miss Chuguang's guard, I was one of the apprentices at the Yuanming Hall and have been studying in the Yuanming Hall."

"Even now that I have become Miss Chuguang's guard, I have never left the Yuanming Hall. I will still go to the hall to continue to hone my swordsmanship whenever I have free time."

Yuanming Hall - one of the four major sword halls that participated in the grand event of the "Great Trial Alliance", teaches swordsmanship without leakage.

Wu Gai Liu is also a well-known swordsmanship school, known for its high practical value. Many people call Mu Gai Liu the "killing sword".

"Although I was unable to represent the Yuanming Pavilion in the 'Grand Trial Competition' this time, I was fortunate enough to be favored by the master and allowed to come and watch. Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet you here by chance."

After finishing speaking, Shibata looked at Naoshu and others beside him.

"Mashima-kun, are you originally a member of the Isshiki Kenkan?"

"No." Ogata shook his head, "I am just an outsider invited by Mr. Isshiki to watch the trial fit."

"Hey! Shibata!"

At this time, a young man not far away who looked very strong and had a hideous horizontal scar on his forehead shook his hand vigorously towards Shibata and shouted:

"Shibata! If you are free now, please come over!"

"Oh! An Yun, wait a moment, I'll be there right away!"

Shibata waved his hand vigorously towards the strong man who was calling him, and then turned his attention back to Ogata.

"Mr. Majima, it seems that my friend wants to see me for something now, so I will take my leave first."

"If there is a chance later, let's have a good chat!"

"Yeah." Ogata nodded gently, "Okay."

After watching Shibata leave quickly, Ogata followed Naoshu and others towards the seating area of ​​their Isshiki Kenkan - the southern part of the dojo.

Zhizhou undoubtedly sat at the front.

Ogata, on the other hand, sat slightly behind and to the left of Naoshu.

As for Isshikika, she sat side by side with Ogata.

As the granddaughter of the famous swordsman master in Osaka, the education Isshikika received since she was a child is naturally an elite education that ordinary people cannot achieve, and she is a standard lady.

After sitting down on the slightly cold floor with her knees bent, Isshikika folded her hands neatly on her legs.

The waist is straight, the graceful swan neck is slightly drawn back, and the eyes are not squinted.

The temperament of "every lady" is fully revealed at this moment.

After sitting down on the floor with Isshiki Ka, Ogami couldn't help but look sideways at Isshiki Ka next to him.

Her appearance at this time was compared to the "Isshiki Ryoma" who had the aura of a ranger that she had seen before on the stowaway boat and in the hotel. Although her appearance was the same, she looked completely different.

Ogata thought: This is probably the real Isshikika. A well-educated Yamato Nadeshiko.

If the cold aura on his body could be suppressed, Isshikika would really look like the human incarnation of the title "Yamato Nadeshiko" at this moment.

Isshikika's face has always been expressionless, and her face and eyes, which seem to have no emotional color, can make people think of "frost".

His body always exudes a cold aura of "keep strangers and acquaintances away", like a large human-shaped ice cube standing on the ground.

There is still a short period of time before the official start of the "Grand Trial Match". We can still see many guests entering the venue one after another.

Countless people who are good at socializing seize this short period of time to wait for the "big test match" to start and walk around.

As the owner of the Isshiki Sword Hall, Naosuke naturally had an endless stream of people coming to say hello and greet him.

Almost everyone who came to say hello to Zhizhou asked Zhizhou who the "man in a hat" sitting next to him was.

In the face of these inquiries, Zhizhou responded with a well-prepared answer such as "He is a friend I met recently" to respond in a flawless manner.

It’s not just Zhi Zhou who is “popular”.

Isshikika, who is sitting next to Ogata, is also very popular...

…

…

"Miss Isshiki, hello, long time no see!"

Ogata glanced at the young man who was standing in front of Isshiki and looked a little shy. He bit his tongue out of nervousness even after saying "Long time no see".

If the count is correct... Ogata remembers that this should be the third person who came to say hello to Isshiki...

"Toriyama-kun, long time no see." Isshiki nodded to the young man expressionlessly.

The young man greeted Isshikika very enthusiastically, but Isshikika's response was extremely cold.

Ogata noticed that no matter who came to say hello to Isshikika, Isshikika always looked cold and indifferent.

After the shy young man had told Isshiki all the things he could say to Isshiki now, and after leaving Isshiki, Ogata couldn't help but use a half-joking tone, using words that only he and Isshiki could hear clearly.

With a loud voice, he whispered to the beauty beside him:

"Miss Isshiki, you are really popular..."

"Sorry, I made you laugh..." After Issekika responded in a low voice, she let out a soft sigh, with a bit of tiredness on her face.

Ogata, who keenly noticed the tiredness on her face, said slowly:

"It must be hard to be pursued and pursued by so many people, right?"

"Yeah. It's very hard." Isshikihua said without hesitation and without hesitation, "It's like having dozens of mosquitoes flying around my ears."

"Mosquito..." Ogata laughed dumbly and joked, "Hearing your comments like this, those who have been pursuing you may cry."

"In my eyes, they are indeed just like mosquitoes." Isshikika said without hesitation, "I have always expressed my displeasure towards them very frankly."

"Never give them any good looks."

"Never show kindness to them."

"But they are still like mosquitoes that cannot be driven away. They keep buzzing in my ears."

"Do they think that as long as they continue to show kindness to me, my impression of them will change... They are really stupid..."

Speaking of this, Isshikika sighed again with a tired look on her face.

"I really hope they won't bother me at least today... This is my first time to watch 'The Great Trial', and I don't want to create too many bad memories..."

"I think this is very difficult," Ogata said.

At this moment, a beautiful yellow butterfly suddenly flew in front of Ogata.

Ogata, whose eyes were involuntarily attracted to this beautiful yellow butterfly, continued to say in a calm tone:

"Miss Isshiki, you were originally very beautiful, but now you have become even more beautiful after putting on makeup. It must be difficult to stop your suitors from disturbing you today."

His eyes were wandering away as he was chasing the beautiful butterfly, so Ogata didn't see Isshiki Hana next to him, and his face suddenly turned red.
