Chapter 260: Looking for Teeth on the Ground

As Higashino Yu spoke, he looked at Shinji Gomon.

This young man looked to be about 20 years old. He was not short, about 1.75 to 1.8 meters tall, with fair skin, handsome face, clean eyebrows and eyes, deep eyes, long hair and curly hair, with a poet's temperament.

Shinji Gomon nodded slightly when he heard this, glanced at the sword bag in his hand, and noticed that he seemed to hold the hilt through the sword bag, which did not seem to be a bamboo sword.

After carefully sensing for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was an unknown famous sword. As long as it was not Guoguang Rudo Isshin, it would be fine.

At the same time, Shinji Gomon was also a little surprised by the humility of this young demon hunter.

After all, generally speaking, demon hunters who became famous at a young age are mostly arrogant, look high above the top, and walk with crab steps.

Such a calm person who is neither humble nor arrogant should become a monk.

Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "You are holding a famous sword, so you must be no ordinary person. You are too modest."

"This?"

Dongye Yu waved his hand slightly and explained with emotion, "It was just given to me by an elder for self-defense. I don't use it normally, and I haven't killed many monsters so far."

"With such a powerful shikigami guarding by your side, it is indeed unnecessary for Dongye Jun to take action personally."

Mikado Shinji did not hide his envy, and then asked curiously, "I wonder how long Dongye Jun and A Jing have known each other?"

"Well, more than three months?" Dongye Yu thought for a while and answered.

"Three months? It's progressing so fast."

Mikado Shinji's expression remained unchanged, and he said with emotion: "I have known Jing since I was a child. When I lived in Tokyo with my father, I often visited Jinguji's house. Jing regarded me as his brother at that time. We often played together. Later, we also followed the elders of our respective families to kill monsters."

"I just met Jing during the New Year last year. It's only been a few months, but I didn't expect Jing to be engaged. Things have really changed."

When he said this, his handsome eyebrows showed a little sadness.

Ah? It turned out that you were the one who asked for marriage? Dong Yeyu was a little surprised. After all, according to his age, a boy who looks delicate and looks like a high school student would be more suitable.

And this is as if I, the fox, have yellow hair.

Jinguji Hiiragi pursed his lips slightly, naturally reached out and held Higashino Yu's hand, lowered his eyebrows, and replied softly as if he was embarrassed: "Although it's only three months, Ayu and I have lived and died together."

Mikado Shinji nodded, "Akado, your personality must not choose someone casually."

Then he talked for a while and had no nutritional content. Basically, Shinji Mikado asked about some things about the two of them in a side-by-side manner. It was not out of the ordinary, just like a childhood friend who was close to him caring about his childhood friend.

As a fox known for his cunning, Higashino Yu naturally knew that the more he made up, the more loopholes he would have, so he only replied with useless polite words with little information.

Mikado Shinji saw that it seemed difficult to get the young man in front of him to talk, and wanted to say something, but the short and delicate boy next to him pulled the corner of his clothes.

Shinji Mikado was silent for a second and looked at his watch: "Well, it's almost time for the game to start. We are also going to the Fukuoka Sky Dome. Why don't we take the Mikado family's car together?" He looked at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, but she didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Higashino Yu with a questioning look, as if they were already married. I didn't expect that Jinguji, who usually had a cold face as if everyone owed her 2.5 million yen, could have such acting skills. Higashino Yu secretly admired in his heart, but he didn't see from her face whether they were in the same line or not. However, from the previous actions of Kaori Shiori and the others, the Mikado family probably wanted to propose marriage to the Jinguji family, and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami cooperated with him, so the answer was obvious. She should be reluctant. It makes sense. She has already devoted herself to the path of cultivation for longevity, so she has no time to manage marriage. The island country is not like Shenzhou. Most places in Shenzhou have achieved gender equality, and even in some places, women have a higher status than men.

The island country is different. The status of women has risen and fallen. At the peak, the three wallets theory was even introduced.

The so-called three wallets means that a woman should be followed by three men when she goes shopping.

The three men are responsible for taxi pick-up, dinner and shopping respectively, but they will not choose to marry any of them, because in their hearts, the final destination should be left to their own destiny.

However, after the bubble economy burst, men's income plummeted, and they could not afford this kind of exploitation, so they began to give up and not get married.

Now it is the turn of women to be anxious, and extreme feminism has also died down.

The aristocratic families on the island country, especially the demon hunter family, are extremely conservative. Although the status of women has improved, they are still vassals of men most of the time.

Intermarriage is also the order of parents and matchmakers, and the demon hunters digest it internally.

According to Kaori Shiori, if a male or female demon hunter in the family falls in love with a mortal, if they insist on marrying, they will be deprived of the Jinguji family name.

At the same time, they will be restricted by secret techniques and forced to swear a poisonous oath not to reveal the family's cultivation methods and secret techniques.

Anyway, it is very miserable. Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's personality probably won't accept this fate.

"There is nothing wrong with me and Hiiragi Kagami, but..."

Higashino Yu said, looking at the students of the Tachibana Kendo Club and the teacher Hamayama Yokomichi who walked out of the revolving door of the hotel behind him.

Binshan Hengdao has been staring at this side. These two are the captains of the men's team and the women's team respectively. They are the trump cards for winning the Jade Dragon Flag Award this time. Nothing can go wrong.

Seeing Higashino Yu looking over, he quickly extended his hand and said hello: "Jinguji-san, Higashino-kun, we are leaving, please follow us as soon as possible."

"Come right away."

Higashino Yu answered loudly, and then looked at Mikado Shinji helplessly: "But we are following the school kendo club to participate in the competition, and we have to obey the management of the school teacher. I am really sorry, Mr. Mikado."

"It doesn't matter."

Shinji Mikado showed a friendly smile, and then looked at Jinguji Hiiragi: "King, it's rare for you to come to Fukuoka. When my father and I went to Tokyo, we were entertained by the Jinguji family. Now, as the direct descendant of the Jinguji family, Girl, you are living in Kyushu with your fiancé, please let the Yumen family show their loyalty as landlords after the game."

When people talked to this point, Jinguji Hiiragi fell silent. Higashino Yu saw her helplessness and thought for a while: "Hiiragi definitely wants to visit the Mikado family, but the teacher-"

"How about I persuade the teachers at your school?" Shinji Mikado was quite enthusiastic.

"Then" Higashino Yu glanced at Miyadera Hiiragi, and when he saw her nodding slightly, he replied with a smile: "Then I'm sorry."

A few people said some more polite words, then said goodbye and left.

Mikado Shinji walked outside the hotel and looked back at the backs of Miyadera Hiiragi and others, "Maiki, what do you think?"

The handsome boy next to him thought for a while and shook his head: "Brother Shinji, I think there is something fishy about this."

"oh?"

He explained: "If the legitimate daughter of the Jinguji family gets engaged, a grand engagement ceremony should be held, and invitations should be sent out widely. It is impossible to hide it without any news."

"And Higashino Yu appeared suddenly. I have never heard of such a person before, nor have I heard of the Higashino family, a family of demon slayers."

Mikado Shinji nodded, pondering in his mind, could it be that Akira decided it privately without the consent of Uncle Nobuaki?

But this is a lie that can be easily exposed. Ah Jing is not such a stupid woman.

As Mikado Shinki spoke, he looked at the middle-aged demon slayer who was following behind him: "Uncle Nagai, I heard that your friend went to Taoxiang. Do you know the specific situation at that time?"

Nagai Akira is a guest of the Mikado family. He is tall and thin, with a horse face and mediocre facial features. He has a good temperament and gives people a rather calm feeling.

He came from a family of small demon slayers, and joined the Mikado family in order to learn more powerful spells.

Nagai Akira rubbed his chin and recalled.

"I actually talked about it when I was drinking with Hiroyuki. It is said that my own strength is only acceptable. I relied on the powerful fox demon shikigami to stand out in the Momoxiang battle. It mainly saved Jinguji Xinyi and others. Maybe Miss Jinguji got married. Does it have something to do with this?”

"Shikigami, what a lucky guy."

The kind smile that had always been hanging on the corner of Mikado Shinki's mouth was gone at that time, revealing a rather unhappy youthful spirit.

"Sister Hiiragi is too ruthless. Brother Shinji, you have grown up with her, and you have always wanted to marry her, but you fell in love with someone else after only three months. The same goes for Mr. Nobuaki Jinguji. When my uncle mentioned marriage many times, he always thought he was waiting for her. Sister Hiiragi shied away when she came of age, but now she is going to be married off to someone like Xing Jin. "

Mikado Shinji was thinking in his mind, quite confused.

Ah Jing has been so cold since she was a child. Not only is she smart and determined, but she also has a lot of ideas in her heart. I really can't imagine that such a woman would be with a stranger she had never known before in just three months. got engaged.

Just because that person looks good?

When Mikado Shinji thought of this, he shook his head silently. No, A Jing is not such a shallow woman. What's more, in terms of appearance, is he far behind that person?

Could it be that because of the shikigami, the Jinguji family wanted to get that powerful shikigami, so they recruited him?

In addition to her spiritual practice, Ah Jing also values ​​her family very much. Uncle Xinming said that she would definitely agree to marry her, but maybe this was not what she wanted.

Since Ah Jing doesn't want to, Higashino-kun still wants to pester her. I guess he's not a good gentleman, so I have to save her.

Mikado Shinji pondered for two seconds and his face became better.

"There may be another reason for this. Ah Jing may not really be willing to marry. Zhenhui, you should be more serious when participating in the competition. Give Dong Yeyu a try. You will know if you have gained your fame in vain."

Mikado Shinki grinned: "Don't worry, Brother Shinji. When the time comes, I will make him look for teeth all over the ground and lose his face in public. Let's see how he has the nerve to cling to the Jinguji family."

The Yulong Banner competition venue is in a gymnasium called the Dome in Fukuoka. Although it is not as well-known as the Fukuoka Dome, because the Yulong Banner is held here every year, it is not unknown.

This is a large-scale multi-functional stadium with an openable and closable dome. It is huge and can accommodate tens of thousands of people watching the game at the same time. It is already full at this time. Many media come to the scene with guns and cannons, and there are often flashes of light in the spectator seats. With the light of flashlight.

All contestants put on their kendo uniforms and stood in the field to participate in the opening ceremony of the competition.

".Then, I hope all the contestants can perform well and slash like lightning! I'm done with my speech."

The leader standing on the rostrum completed the pre-match speech, followed by the organizer's speech, followed by some advertisements from sponsors.

The opening ceremony is divided into opening speech, performance, flag display and other processes.

The process was relatively lengthy. Dong Yeyu listened and saw that there was still some time before the start of the game, so he simply closed his eyes and forgot to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, Arima Zezon patted Higashino Yu on the shoulder.

"Ayu, let's go, let's start the game."

After the contestants left the field, two well-dressed girls came to the center of the gymnasium - Yulong Banner is divided into men's team competition, women's team competition, and individual competition. Generally speaking, the women's competition starts first, and then the men's competition concludes.

The two girls were wearing heavy kendo uniforms, holding their helmets and saluting each other. Their team information was displayed on the big screen in the gym.

Fukuoka Daiichi High School played against Fukuoka Sairyo High School.

The Jade Dragon Banner competition is not like boxing with swordsmen competing in the ring. It is just on the floor of the gymnasium. There are no extra equipment and guardrails. Only a square white box with a side length of nine meters is drawn to represent the boundary of the competition.

If a player's feet are completely out of bounds, he or she is struck.

Several referees with red and white flags stood at a safe distance outside the boundary, and the rostrum was also placed close to the playing field.

After the two contestants saluted, they put on their helmets, brought their bamboo swords into contact, and began to test each other. White's player couldn't hold her breath and slashed her head with the sword. However, her opponent saw through it and the bamboo sword struck her in the small but fast stroke. Gauntlets.

The referee then raised the flag and the red side scored.

Dong Yeyu lost interest after just one glance, and his level was quite average.

People at Tachibana High School were waiting for the game arrangements in the background. Kazuji Yasuhara went to get the game schedule for the men's and women's games at Tachibana High School. The first game was in the morning against Hanayama Girls' High School from Hokkaido.

As for the men's team's match, it was on the afternoon of the third day against Sendai Ikuei Academy in Kyoto.

The arrangement of the girls team is Jinguji Hiiragi as the general, Arima Norimune's former favorite Ogata Hitomi as the deputy general, second-year Nagata Risa as the backbone, and first-year Matsuzaka Mika as the pioneer.

The first contestant to take part was the regular vanguard. Yasuhara and Tsukasa bowed slightly towards a round-faced girl with twin ponytails: "Matsusaka-kun, I'll be looking after you later."

Matsuzaka Mika quickly returned the favor. She has a healthy complexion and a plump figure. She looks very powerful. She is perfect as a forward to consume the opponent's physical strength.

Soon it was the turn of Tachibana High School to compete. As a famous high school in the island country, the first battle naturally attracted a lot of media attention, and the result did not disappoint people. The contestants of Tachibana High School easily defeated their opponents after a lot of dealings.

In the next two days, the women's team went quite smoothly. However, it encountered a waterloo when facing another local team from Fukuoka. Four players were defeated by one of the opponents in a row, leaving only Jinguji as the leader. Hiiragi mirror.
