Jigen-Ryu
Shiro and I were invited to the old man's house.
When I arrived in front of the house, I realized that the old man was actually the lord of Halohalo.
He seems to be quite skilled with the sword, and seems to have held the title of Sword Saint in the past.
Incidentally, the title is a rank of swordsmen recognized by the Adventurer's Guild, consisting of Sword God, Sword Saint, Sword Emperor, and Sword King, and it seems that there are only two Sword Saints in this world.
Well, to put it simply, if the Sword God is number one, then the old man is the second or third strongest swordsman in this world.
"It’s amazing that you were the second strongest in the world!"
"No, no, this is a ranking only for adventurers, only among swordsmen!
However, in reality, my sword skills were the 5th best.
The number one is our Queen. Gabriel Goto Tupesh-sama.
Number 2 is her subordinate, Britney Goto Romantic.
The Queen has declined the title of Sword God, and Britney-sama, after holding the title of Sword God for 100 consecutive years, has been newly crowned the title of Sword Demon, which was created for Britney-sama, and is no longer ranked in the ranking of swordsmen.
The old man humbly explains various circumstances.
"Isn’t the Queen, or rather, Gabriel Goto Tupesh, a swordsman and not a mage?"
Gabriel Goto Tupesh, the queen of the [Jet Black Forest], is a dark elf, so I thought she was either a mage or an archer.
"You don’t know anything about the Queen on the southern continent, are you a transferee from another world or something?"
"Well, something like that."
There's no point in lying now, so I answer honestly.
"I see, so that's why you had a Japanese sword I'd never seen before."
It seems that the old man is also a descendant of Japanese people, so even when he learned that I was transferred to another world, he immediately understood.
"So?"
"The story was about the Queen, wasn't it? The Queen is a top-notch swordsman and mage."
"Does she have any weaknesses?"
"No. We believe that the Queen is the strongest and number one!"
It feels like there are other amazing people besides the Queen of [Jet Black Forest].
We spent the night at the residence of Harada Suekichi, the lord of Halohalo, with such talk and a lot of information about the southern continent and the [Jet-Black Forest].
The next day,
"This is the promised 100 million marble!"
As expected, even the lord of Halohalo couldn't prepare 100 million marble right away, and it took him a day to collect 100 million marble.
"Okay, here it is!"
I hand a sword that Shiro made from my magic bag to the old man.
"Ooohhーー! I certainly got it!"
The old man was so excited that he raised the sword that Shiro had made to the sky.
According to the old man, the price of the swords that Shiro makes from now on will skyrocket.
The story that the head of the Harada family, who continued to produce top-class swordsmen throughout the ages, had bid 100 million marble for a sword made by Shiro, spread around the world in an instant, and from now on, swords made by Shiro will be sold for 100 million marble. It is said that there is a premium feel attached to it.
Well, in the end, it turned out that selling it to Harada Suekichi, the lord of Halohalo, was the right decision.
"We've earned a lot of money in this world!"
"We can live a luxurious life for about 10 years!"
After leaving Harada Suekichi's mansion, we continued to stroll around the town of Halohalo as we did yesterday.
"What should I do? Should I go to the Jigen-ryu dojo that Old Man Suekichi mentioned?"
Yesterday, I was talking with the old man while drinking, and apparently, his ancestors were samurais of the Satsuma clan, and apparently, there are many dojos of the Satsuma Jigen-ryu in Halohalo.
"Master is a history lover, so you want to go to a Jigen-ryu dojo!"
"That’s right!"
So we decided to go to the dojo run by the Harada family, which the old man Suekichi had introduced to us yesterday.
The Harada family's dojo is a large, one-story wooden dojo with an area of about 1,000 square meters, and seems to have a large number of trainees, from adults wearing gi to small children.
"Excuse me!"
I walk through the gate of the dojo with a light pace.
"Dojo breakerーー!"
Suddenly, a little kid yells at me.
"Master! It's not good!"
"This is bad..."
I know.
Jigen-ryu is dangerous.
Although I didn't learn it thoroughly, I can say that swinging a 1000 kg wooden sword for 1000 years in the Room of Spirit and Time is a form of Jigen-ryu training.
In fact, in the Satsuma Jigen-ryu, there is a training method in which one continues to hit logs stuck in the ground with a wooden sword in a frantic manner.
The essence of Jigen-ryu is a one-hit kill.
And among the trainees who attend the Harada family, there are clearly a lot of dangerous people.
"It's a very gutsy thing to come to the headquarters of Jigen-ryu, the right wing of the [Jet-Black Forest], to break dojo!"
More and more trainees gathered and surrounded us.
It seems like they definitely don't want me and Shiro to escape.
The little kids were looking at us with excitement.
Perhaps, for the little ones, breaking into a dojo is a kind of entertainment.
It's very bad.
They didn't even think that Jigen-ryu would lose.
"What do we do now? Master?"
"They will beat us up, but they won't kill us."
"Master is immortal, so unless they have an artifact like Death Scythe, they will never be able to kill you!
Or rather, even if Master die, you'll come back, right?"
Well, to be honest, I'm not going to die.
No matter how much I f*cked up, I can say that they will never do anything worse than being f*cked by the Blackbeard Pirates.
Besides, I am a man who endured 1000 years of training in the Room of Spirit and Time.
I am confident that I won't be f*cked that easily.
Then, I'll take you up on your offer.
I've always wanted to try breaking into a dojo.
If something happened to me, all I had to do was cry to the old man Suekichi.
"That’s right! I’m a dojo-breaker!
If you understand that, immediately bring out the Jigen-ryu school head!"
I screamed loudly while suppressing the sound of my pounding heart!
