100 Nadeshiko Akabane

Akabane's house, mansion.

When Luo Zhen and his party came back from the outside, the gate here was already full of people who came to greet them.

"Welcome back!"

"Welcome back!"

A group of clansmen reunited with their families one after another, each of them gathered at the gate, full of laughter.

And when Luo Zhen and Akabane Lei Zhen also got off the carriage, the laughter had already diminished a lot.

"Master Naruto, welcome back."

Following the greeting from one of the clansmen, the rest of the clansmen also surrounded Luo Zhen one after another.

"I heard, Master Narugami."

"I heard that you defeated a very powerful shikigami in the forbidden area of ​​the Izanagi style."

"And set a fire in the forbidden area."

"I really want to see the expressions of people from the Izanagi style."

The members of the Akabane clan continued to speak in this way, and their words were full of enthusiasm.

In a few days, the things that Luo Zhen did in the Izanagi stream were passed back to the family, and they were talked about by the people in the family.

"Unfortunately, Master Narugami is not engaged to the princess of Izanagi-ryu."

"But that's not the fault of Master Narugami."

"If only Master Mingshen went alone, maybe the matter would have been settled long ago."

"yes."

The clansmen were talking so much, it was somewhat suspected of going too far.

At least, Akabane Leizhen was not only ignored the fact that he fought side by side with Luo Zhen, but was also considered as a hindrance.

This made Luo Zhen frowned slightly.

Only Akabane Leizhen turned a blind eye to all this, seemingly not surprised by this development at all.

"Who made me a waste, even if I tell others that I have contributed to the matter of Yanyanluo, they will not believe it, right?"

Akabane Leizhen said such words like self-deprecating.

After all, the Akabane family has long been used to Akabane Lei's true inaction, and now they suddenly heard that he has shown his supernatural power, so how can they not doubt it?

If it weren't for the fact that there are Domon Hirin, Kamo Subaru, and Yukirikuren in the Izanagi-ryu who can testify, then others wouldn't believe that Akabane Rai really contributed, right?

The reality is so cruel.

until…

"I trust you."

As such words came out, Akabane Leizhen's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned his head, and looked at the gate.

There, Akabane Tenquan slowly walked towards this side, showing a trusting smile to Akabane Leizhen.

"As expected of my younger brother, you did a really good job."

Akabane Tenquan praised him in this way.

"Brother Tian!"

Akabane Leizhen suddenly felt redeemed.

"Narukami has worked hard too." Akabane Tianquan turned his gaze to Luo Zhen, and said, "I've heard about it, but I didn't expect to be able to defeat Yanyan Luo. I'm curious how much your skills have improved now." gone."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen said indifferently: "Wouldn't you be able to find out when the puppet drills next time?"

"That's true." Akabane Tianquan couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Akabane Sora Kan, who had been silent by the side, spoke out.

"Okay, everyone, go back and reunite with your family, don't crowd at the gate."

While admonishing Akabane Kongkan, he spoke to Luo Zhen, Akabane Tianquan, Akabane Leizhen and his party.

"You brothers also get together alone, let's talk about your feelings during this time."

After finishing speaking, Akabane Sora took the lead and walked into the Akabane's house together with the family members. Only the three brothers of the Akabane's family stayed here, watching the clansmen leave.

"By the way, Brother Tian." Akabane Leizhen asked Akabane Tianquan, "Where's Nadeshiko?"

"She's in the dojo." Akabane Tenzen said with a smile, "After hearing about your activities in the Izanagi style,

Nadeko has worked hard these past few days, and has been staying in the dojo to practice the skill of "Needing", striving to master the "Puppet Art" as soon as possible. "

"Really?" Akabane Leizhen pondered.

"Let's go see Nadeshiko." Akabane Tenquan patted Akabane Leizhen's shoulder, and said this to Luo Zhen.

"That's fine." Luo Zhen didn't object, and said, "I might have to retreat again later, so let's go see Nadeshiko before then."

Izanagi and his party made Luo Zhen realize the importance of his ability again.

Therefore, Luo Zhen couldn't wait to start his own practice again.

"The level of needs to be further improved. Even if you can't reach the level of summoning high-level familiars, you should master the summoning of several intermediate-level familiars."

"It's time to improve on . I haven't mastered the group tactics I saw in the library last time."

"I have to think about the skills of the eight steps of the magician to enter the next stage."

"There is also the opening of the magic circuit. This is the most important thing. After all, no matter what kind of magic is, it needs magic power to support it."

To sum up, Luo Zhen still has a lot of things to do.

Not to mention…

"The that makes me envious has not yet started research."

Thinking of these things, Luo Zhen's mood jumped up.

Compared with going out to fool around, staying at home to study magic, that is Luo Zhen's greatest pursuit.

"As expected of you."

Akabane Tianquan seemed to be able to understand Luo Zhenxin's pursuit, and his words were full of admiration for Luo Zhen.

It's just that this is definitely not an interesting topic for Akabane Leizhen.

"Alright, let's go find Nadeshiko."

Akabane Leizhen urged sullenly.

So, a group of people left the gate and headed towards the dojo.

…………

Akabane's house, dojo.

At this time, there was only a slender figure in the vast dojo.

The little black-haired girl in a kimono was sitting on the cold floor with her eyes closed, and considerable magic power fluctuated from her body.

"Hey!"

With a clear and sweet shout, the little girl stretched out her hand, turned her magic power into thought power, and poured it into the puppet standing in front of her.

"Kacha Kacha..."

The puppet immediately moved.

The movement is not very flexible, like a baby who has just learned to walk, and it looks a little staggering, so that the sound of the swinging joints is transmitted to the surroundings clearly.

"Just keep going...go on..."

The cute little girl muttered nervously, constantly injecting magic power into the puppet and manipulating the puppet's actions.

Gradually, the movements of the puppet became flexible.

"good!"

The little girl suddenly showed a lovely smile of joy.

He didn't notice at all, but behind it, three figures had already appeared.

"What is it!?"

Akabane Leizhen deliberately raised his voice and called out.

"ah!"

The little girl let out a mournful cry, and the magic power became disordered, causing the puppet to jump up like a spring, and flew directly to the three figures behind it.

"Boom!"

Amidst the muffled sound, the puppet's foot kicked Akabane Leizhen's face heavily.

"Goooh...!?"

Akabane Lei really fell.

As for Luo Zhen and Akabane Tianquan, they deployed the shield very calmly, blocking the flying puppets.

Only then did the little girl turn around, saw the three figures behind her, and let out a cry of surprise.

"Brothers!"

She is the youngest daughter of Akabane Sorakan——Akabane Nadeko.
