On this morning, me and the others had arrived at the palace grounds. In accordance with the promise that today my uncle and I will do a sword duel.
Surely the sword we used was a traditional wooden sword. It is a tradition of takagawa where samurai would face each other to entertain the Royal Family.
But this time it was a bit different where Daimyo and his wife only saw duels in their spare time.
A soldier who is said to be the former Subordinate of the uncle became the referee in this match
“ Alright........There are no absolute rules in this game, both of you are allowed to use force at a certain limit “ “ Match will be stopped if one of you gives up or falls “ “ If once the match starts....... “ (Kodeki ).
The match has begun.
I prepared for the style of the horses I used.
“ Ho....... will not be interesting if one of us no one attacks first.....please please son, you can attack me first “ (Hatsumaru ).
The uncle asked me to attack him first, I knew if it was bait that I was fooled. But if that's what the uncle asked for then I wouldn't mind for it.
“ Alright if that's what uncle wants......hyahhhh “ (Rey ).
Without a doubt I started running and attacked the uncle from the front.
That uncle did not dodge my attack at all.
Our swords are blocking each other.
“ no no no no!!!! “swords sound against each other.
Me and the uncle started to increase the speed of our attack. The uncle still remained in a defensive position as I continued to attack.
Slowly I began to be able to make the uncle retreat backwards with my attacks.
“ With this...hyahhhh “ (Rey )
I began to focus my attacks to one point as a closing strike.
“ !!!! “ but unexpectedly, the uncle could nab it quite easily.
“ Ho....... amazing son...... I admit if you can corner me to this extent “ ( Hatsumaru )
“ hah hah hah....thank you for the compliment, uncle “ (Rey )
With a breath of air. I began to answer what the uncle had said......
“ but it is my turn to attack....be prepared to “ (Hatsumaru ).
With a little opening his defensive horses the uncle began to change the defensive position to the attacking position. He without much talking directly landed an attack on me.
“ no no no no!!!! “ our swords clash with each other.
I at least managed to withstand that uncle's attack with a lot of effort.
...‘ As expected, the master friend is as strong as he is ‘...
I was further cornered by holding back his attack with both hands. As expected, that he was as troublesome as a master but not as troublesome as Nopt Yang in his ryuuzuhide form.
“ Hah hah...... “ (Rey )
I began to take the plunder from the uncle panting. Only by clashing swords with him have I figured out how far our power difference is.
Even without using any power, that uncle might have been able to defeat me in some way.
I had already exerted my flow of chi energy on the last attack just now, but he was able to stop it without resorting to any attacks.
“ I seem to underestimate you too much son, I will soon end it with this....be prepared “ (hatsumaru ).
That uncle is getting serious about confronting me!? But wait, he just said that he wasn't serious about fighting me just now!? So all this time he didn't really use all his strength.
The last strike from the uncle focused all the chi energy in the entire part of his sword. It seems like he will seriously end this duel soon.
I began to prepare the defensive shield from the pool of chi energy throughout my body in anticipation of the attack from it.
“ With this end...... “ ( Hatsumaru )
The uncle started swinging his sword quite strongly towards me. It was an attack with the strongest chi energy scale I have ever seen.
“ Hsssssss!!!!!! “ That chi attack started hitting my body. I was able to hold it back a little because of the chi energy shield I had set up all over my body.
The attack began to get stronger and stronger against my body, but I had to keep holding it and not be thrown because of the attack.
“ hssstttttt!!!! “ I kept holding the attack with all my might, I had to keep on defending.
Slowly the attack began to fade a little, I was able to hold on to the end.
“ hah hah hah “ (Rey )
I was still gasping for breath because I was holding back the powerful attack of the chi energy. I can still stand up straight from the attack.
...‘ it feels like holding thousands of punches leading to me ‘...
The attack felt like a lot of blows were coming straight at me, it was really the biggest chi energy attack I had ever seen.
“ huh!!! “ instantly the uncle and some people who watched the scene were quite shocked!? They seemed to be in disbelief because I managed to withstand the attack.
Not how long did that uncle start smiling broadly at me!?
“ Ha ha ha..... it is amazing, as I expected from my old friend's student, Ha ha ha “ “ thank you for entertaining this old man nak “ ( Hatsumaru )
The uncle began to laugh with relief as he watched with his eyes that I had managed to survive his powerful attack.
“ Uh!? But what about the match!? “ (Rey )
“ We just end it son..... anyway if I keep on issuing attacks like that, my back can hurt , o young people “ ( Hatsumaru ).
“ Uh!!!! “ (Rey )
I was startled by what that uncle had just said! He admitted his defeat in this duel and also he said if he continued to use the attack then his back would hurt!?
“ Baikalh....match finished “ “ Winner Rei-kun “ (Kodeki )
By declaring myself a winner, this match is over. I'm quite happy to be able to compete with a master friend, no matter Win or lose. I will still admire him.
The spectators and daimyo who saw the match seemed quite mesmerized by the match just now.
“ if only I was directly faced with Sensei, it is certain that I would have lost immediately if he directed the attack just now
Hearing what one of them said, it seemed like I was quite satisfied.
Maybe I can also be thrown if I don't have the strength to withstand the attack.
The uncle started to get a little closer to me, with his big enough eyes he started to hold my head and stroked my hair.
“ If only my second child was still alive, then he would definitely be the same age as you..... ha ha ha “ ( hatsumaru )
The uncle started to laugh a little and continued to stroke my head while recalling his second child. Did that uncle's son die from a certain state!?
“ But you are really great son...... how ji-“ “ akhhhhh !!!! my Back “ ( Harsumaru )
“ uncle what happened!!!! “ (Rey )
In a panic I started holding onto the uncle. I didn't know what happened to that uncle until he screamed in pain.
“ ti-it's okay... this is just a common disease, I actually did not take too long to release the chi energy attacks until I did not pay attention to myself..... “ “ ach ach !!!! alright....I should rest for a while “ ( hatsumaru )
“ !!!!••••• ------- “
This match was closed with uncle who was affected by back pain due to overuse of chi energy attacks.
Now I'm starting to understand why he retired from the army of oni hunters and chose to be a soldier of the royal family.
...' Pastiny's pretty heavy if it's an oni hunter with that backache '...

[After a day has passed ]
Finally the moment we were waiting for arrived.
In the evening, a feast is held on the birthday of the prince of this country.
“ Duk duk duk !!!! “ sounds from taiko echoing.
This celebration party is held quite lively in the head of the miko dance at the palace.
There are many traditional music performances, bon odori ceremonies and also traditional theater.
We all watched it from the place that the young Prince had provided us.
After the duel with uncle ended, the boy even admired me more and called me onii-chan quite familiarly. I don't want to have to serve him.
It was really quite tiring to serve the talkative boy, but it was also quite pleasant for me to be familiar with the boy.
Returning to traditional theater events, the theater tells a ryuuzuhide story that the boy likes.
I keep living all the stories that are played in it, I think almost everything is right except the one who calls “ Ryuuzuhide as the messenger of the Gods “.
Almost everything that is told is very different from what I have experienced so far.I can conclude that Ryuuzuhide is a person who is jolly and also cares for others.
And there is a scene where Ryuuzuhide challenges Yattagarashu and makes him his contract Shikigami. It also tells how the four great Shikigami helped ryuuzuhide and defeated the oni across the country.
As I grew more and more into it I may have been a little jealous of the Life of Ryuuzuhide, but I believe that there is no point in envy towards the person who has many good reputations with all his efforts.
(Note: Rey and Ryuuzuhide are actually like two opposite sides of a Coin. If the figure of Ryuuzuhide in the past is a child who is quite jolly and liked by many people in his village, while Rey is a child who is quite dark and cold towards others is also quite disliked by people once......... If Ryuuzuhide smiles a lot to others, then Reyham almost never smiles and only at people and at certain times he will smile..... )
The theater continues until the story when all the countries have agreed to make peace. The story is accompanied by many traditional instruments and music that accompany it.
After the theater, is a koto instrument game and also accompanied by famous Musicians in the capital.
His voice when saying words to me feels quite meaningful because each sentence tells you to appreciate the meaning of life.
The celebration is closed quite lively with fireworks all over the city. The night sky of the city was colored by the beautiful fireworks that exploded on the horizon.
It's the most festive celebration I've ever seen.
Even ordinary people can enjoy it carefully..........
Daimyo and his family are so loved by the people that there is no dispute whatsoever.......
...‘ I hope all of Lucia will also be like the States of the southeastern islands someday ‘...
The land of Russia and the southeastern islands are very far away in many ways. In this place even ordinary people can easily see and celebrate many festivals and celebrations. Very contrary to the land of lusia where only the nobles can enjoy it.

[ The Author's Story]
The author actually had no intention to create the southeastern Archipelago Arc (Far East ).
The original scenario of this story should be
- Rey picked up > So Adventurers > Meet Her Father > Reply Revenge Enforced > Enter Academy > End : 6 volume......
but because Carita will be bland if directly in the End and Only 6 volumes only.
this can also be all to add to the wealth of Khazanah in this WN Story........ 🧐
....
for Volume 4 of this WN Story is the Great Dragon and Meeting with His Father which is titled Real My Father........ 😁 About whether the meeting will be Inharming ...😆
