"Hmph~ Shinpachi, this is what talented people look like.

Harada Sanosuke stretched out his right index finger with a proud look on his face and tapped the Tenling Cap several times "knock, knock, knock".

“I’ve been going to Mr. Shannan’s ‘Cultural Lecture Hall’ recently, so I’ve become much smarter!”

Since joining the Kaisei Museum, the literate Shannan Keisuke has regularly held free "cultural lectures" in the museum. Nagakura Shinpachi and Harada Sanosuke are regular visitors to the general manager who is determined to learn some culture.

Shannan Keisuke said with a smile:

"Harada-kun, thank you for your compliment. But if you can remember that the protagonists of the 'Honnoji Incident' were Oda Nobunaga and Akechi Mitsuhide, not Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Ishida Mitsunari, I will have a deeper affection for you.

gratitude."

Seeing that Kondo Isamu's determination was stronger than he imagined, Hijikata Toshizo said no more - but he still looked unconvinced.

At this time, suddenly, slow footsteps came from the direction of the corridor.

"Huh? Yong, what are you doing here?"

Shusuke Kondo stepped in after returning from an outing.

"Father, you are back. We are receiving the Noble Phantasm given by Lord Ju!"

"Oh? Noble Phantasm?"

Kondo Shusuke's two small eyes opened slightly.

After a brief explanation by Qingdeng and others, the old man laughed "hohohoho".

"Yong, can you show me the Nagasone Kotetsu that your brother gave you?"

"sure!"

Kotetsu is in Qingdeng's hands.

He immediately put away the knife - it was very impolite to hand the unsheathed knife to others - Kondo Shusuke took the knife and looked it up and down carefully.

In terms of experience, how can Shusuke Kondo, who is over sixty years old, be comparable to Aoto and others whose average age is only in their early 20s?

Everyone waited quietly.

For a moment, a look of surprise appeared on Kondo Shusuke's old face.

"Oh, this is Minamoto Seimaro! This sword should be a fake made by Minamoto Seimaro."

After hearing this, everyone showed expressions of sudden realization.

The chief murmured softly:

"It turns out that the knife was sharpened by Yuan Qing... No wonder it has such good quality."

Minamoto Kiyomaro, a swordsman from Shinano.

Determined to make the best Japanese sword, Minamoto Kiyomaro left his hometown in the 5th year of Tenho (1834) and went to Edo, where he became a disciple of Kiyone Eda, stating that he wanted to practice swordsmanship and improve his forging skills.

After seeing Minamoto Kiyon's forging skills, Kiyon Eda was so impressed that he immediately lent a house in his mansion to Kiyomaro as a forging workshop.

Because his work has a very typical Xiangzhou style, the blade surface is mostly plate-shaped, the texture is dense and delicate, the ground is thick, the burning style is very domineering, coupled with the long golden sand flow, the air port is clear and bright, reflecting Qingmao's love for

Excellent control of heat treatment.

Because he lived in Yotsuya, Edo, he soon gained the reputation of "Yoshitani Masamune" and was called the "Three Masters of Edo" together with his contemporaries Masahide Mizuko and Naoin Daqing.

Minamoto Kiyomaro is a person who has extremely high demands on himself, which can even be said to be neurotic.

His level of professionalism... To put it nicely, he is very craftsman spirit; to put it mildly, he has the Japanese awkward style of "living or dying at every turn".

All works made by him, no matter what period they are from, are excellent swords of high quality.

However, this obsession with constantly improving himself has been tormenting his spirit, and coupled with long-term alcoholism, his mental state is very bad.

Finally, in the seventh year of Jiayong (1854), he committed suicide at the age of 42, and a generation of famous workers died.

Minamoto Kiyomaro once imitated Kotetsu, and the quality was so high that it almost looked like the real thing.

In this way, it can also explain why it is obviously a fake but has such excellent quality.

Kondo Isamu rubbed the back of his head and said helplessly:

"It turns out it's an imitation of Minamoto Seimaro... Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about my brother being deceived."

Kondo Shusuke sheathed the sword and handed it back to Kondo Isamu with both hands.

"Although it is not as good as the real Kotetsu, since it is a sword made by Minamoto Kiyomaro, the quality is still very impressive. Your brother bought this sword for 50 taels, so he is not cheated."

Kondo Isamu nodded vigorously and said loudly and energetically:

"Father, just watch! I will definitely become famous together with this Kotetsu!"

At this point, Qingdeng's "seating in rows and holding swords" finally came to an end.

Everyone received their favorite weapon.

Everyone is happy and congratulatory.

Kinoshita Mai tightly held Echizen Yasutsugi in her palm, and while casting a displeased look at Aoto, she pouted and muttered:

"So the gift you wanted to give me was a knife... In this case, I should have told you earlier."

It makes me look forward to it so much... She added silently in her heart.

"..."

Sanako didn't say anything - but just from her eyes, it could be seen that she had the same idea as Kinoshita Mai.

Qingdeng smiled bitterly:

"I don't want to surprise you..."

Compared to just now, the expressions of the two women were much softer.

It seemed that they were all satisfied with the gifts Qingdeng gave them and had calmed down.

Although Qing Deng still doesn't know why he was beaten ... but it is no matter how small things are!

While the air inside and outside the dojo was still full of joy——

"Ah! I almost forgot!"

Kinoshita Wu suddenly screamed strangely.

Qingden followed the sound and looked.

"Awu, what's wrong?"

"Aoden, Mr. Kiryu asked me to bring you a message!"

"Boss Kiryu?"

"Well, yes! He said: 'At four o'clock tomorrow morning (10 o'clock in the morning), come to Qianshiwu. I have something very important that I need to entrust to you with my own hands!'"

…

…

The next day, at five o'clock in the morning (8 a.m.)——

Edo, Chishiya——

The meeting time proposed by Kiryu's boss was four o'clock in the morning, but Aomori came two hours earlier and came to bother him at five o'clock in the morning.

The reason for this is not because Qingdeng is the kind of good boy who "would rather be two hours early than be late."

But because...last night, Kinoshita Mai secretly reported to him: "Aonto...that...this...Mr. Kiryu will go out early tomorrow morning and will not come back until four o'clock in the morning...so...so

…”

When saying this, Kinoshita's face turned red, she played with her fingers, and tapped her clogs shyly with her toes - it would have been rude if Aoden didn't give a positive and enthusiastic response!
