The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 62: Meeting Chiba Shiori Again

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Akihide High School, outside of the school compound.

Kazuki leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to get some rest with the Sun and Moon Sword in his arms. Although the Sun and Moon sword could cultivate 24 hours without stopping, its cultivation speed could still increase if he made the initiative to speed it up.

Thus, whenever he was free, Kazuki would cooperate with the Sun and Moon Sword since it would be faster for him to cultivate together with the Sword rather than just letting the Sun and Moon Sword absorb reiki on its own.

Clad in the Sakura Kyu uniform as he leaned against the wall, it was natural for others to deem it as weird.

After all, this was Akihide High School, and everyone wore the uniform of Akihide. Kazuki, the outsider from another school, was discussed in low voices by the students who saw him as they were walking out of school.

However, these discussions quickly vanished as the students walked away from the school. They were not very curious people by nature, after all, so they just thought that Kazuki came from another school to wait for someone else.

Akihide High School was not like Sakura Kyu High School.

Unlike at Sakura Kyu High School, where no one from other schools could ever be spotted outside the school, it was not uncommon to see students from other schools visiting Akihide High School occasionally.

As for Akie Hanzawa, he stood confidently at the doorstep of Akihide High School, waiting to inform Kazuki right away as soon as he saw his brother’s silhouette. After all, Kazuki did not know what Mikito Hanzawa looked like and would naturally need Akie Hanzawa’s help to identify him.

However, since there was still time before the club events would end, Akie Hanzawa kept on commenting on the girls in Akihide High School. In fact, he talked very loudly, and it was apparent that he was talking to Kazuki as others could not even hear him anyway.

This fellow had chucked away his sense of shame entirely in the one month since he had become a specter.

Kazuki was patient towards Akie Hanzawa’s blabberings because there was not much time left for Akie Hanzawa anyway. In time, Akie Hanzawa would turn into reiki that would be absorbed by Kazuki, so Kazuki was very tolerant of Akie Hanzawa.

It was okay for him to speak more when he could still talk, as long as he did not disturb his cultivation.

“Wow, wow, wow... Look over quickly, Master Kimura, what a beautiful, sweet young thing!”

“My gosh, this is my first time seeing someone so beautiful in the 28 years of my life. She’s so beautiful bare-faced, imagine how angelic she would look after putting some makeup on? Ah... it would be perfect if there were angels as beautiful as her in heaven.”

“Master Kimura, stop closing your eyes and acting cool, open your eyes and look, she is so beautiful! Oh my god, I can’t breathe, I feel like I’m ascending to heaven now!”

Kazuki’s facial expression never changed as he did not even bother to tell Akie Hanzawa that he closed his eyes to be more concentrated so that he could cultivate faster. He could not care any less about how other people looked at him.

Kazuki had obviously gotten used to Akie Hanzawa’s fuss, but soon, Kazuki opened his eyes quickly as he felt something abnormal.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a pretty young girl standing in front of him, staring at him with eyes that shone like black diamonds. A smile appeared on her flawless face as Kazuki opened his eyes. “Are you here to see me, Kimura-Kun?”

Akie Hanzawa, who stood at the side, was stunned. He had never thought that this beautiful girl here would have known Kazuki.

Kazuki looked at the students from Akihide High School around them who were whispering amongst themselves. Unlike just now, the students from Akihide High School stopped moving forward once their gazes swept upon the situation here.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity, shock, jealousy, envy... These emotions popped out regardless of gender. It seemed like this girl was pretty popular in Akihide High School, but Kazuki frowned, “You are?”

She was indeed pretty where her skin was as smooth as jade, and her face looked calm with facial features that melded well together without a single flaw. Her black and shiny long hair was not styled but just fixed with a headband and would sway along with the wind as it blew.

Seeing the girl in front of him flicking her hair, Kazuki thought to himself, it should be her that Akie Hanzawa was talking about. She was gorgeous and had the kind of beauty that the main female characters in anime would have... The internet was filled with pretty girls like her, but it was unlikely to meet one in reality.

However, he could not recognize this person in front of him.

Hearing Kazuki’s question, Chiba Shiori touched her face and thought of something. She smiled and said, “I’m Chiba Shiori.”

“Oh, it’s you.” Kazuki came to the realization as the incident in Akichi High School had happened not too long ago, and he still had a deep impression of it. He could not have forgotten Nakagawa Aokiji and Chiba Shiori.

It was just that Chiba Shiori had disguised herself as an ugly girl when she went to Akichi High School, plus he did not care much about how other people looked like in the dark night. It was quite surprising to him that Chiba Shiori actually appeared so beautiful.

“How are you? Did anything happen after you came back?” In Kazuki’s eyes, Nakagawa Aokiji and Chiba Shiori could be regarded as familiar people since both of them had saved his life. Hence, his attitude was quite friendly to her.

At the time, Chiba Shiori had been so sick that she fainted and because he had to attend classes, he had asked Sakai Keiko and Suzuki Aichi from the Final Forum to take care of her.

“There wasn’t any problem.” Chiba Shiori did not mind the other students that were looking over at them and did not mind the dirtiness as she leaned against the wall like Kazuki and said with a smile, “You haven’t answered my question.”

What question? Kazuki paused in thought and then said, “Ah, I’m here today to look for someone.”

“Who?”

“Mikito Hanzawa, do you know him?”

“No, I don’t. I don’t have many friends in school. It gets tiring with a lot of friends.”

“Oh.”

As the air turned silent, Akie Hanzawa, who was at the side, finally came to his senses and began muttering, “Master Kimura, keep the conversation going... This is the best time to strike while the iron is hot!”

Kazuki glanced at Akie Hanzawa and looked at Chiba Shiori, who did not look like she was leaving anytime soon as he said, “I am looking for Mikito Hanzawa today to deal with a matter, you’re attracting too much attention standing beside me.”

“Are you telling me I’m pretty indirectly?” Chiba Shiori smiled.

“I’m asking you to go away.”

Chiba Shiori flicked her hair habitually and looked at Kazuki. Spotting impatience on his face, she whispered, “Something like Akichi High School must have happened for you to come to Akihide High School. Can you bring me along? I’m curious.”

Kazuki frowned. Chiba Shiori’s instincts had always been accurate, that much he knew from experience at Akichi High School. After all, she had looked intelligent, and now that he got to observe her carefully, she had a bookish calm to her. Thinking to himself, he felt that there was no need to lie to a smart person, so he said, “Yes, but it hasn’t been long since the incident in Akichi High School, aren’t you scared?”

Chiba Shiori could be considered as having discovered the other side of the world after going through the incident in Akichi High School, so Kazuki did not have to try to hide these matters from her as he did with other people.

“I have you, don’t I?”

“I remember that it was you and Akagawa who saved my life at that time.”

“You’re wrong, it was you who saved us, or we wouldn’t have had the chance to drag you out of the school compound.”

Akie Hanzawa listened to their conversation from the side. Although he did not know what had happened in the past, he still shouted enviously, “Master Kimura, I am certain that this girl right here has feelings for you. All you have to do is to strike while the iron is still hot, and you would definitely become her boyfriend!”

Kazuki looked at Akie Hanzawa dully, this fellow seemed to have forgotten his responsibility. He whispered, “Go and look for your brother at the school gate, the club events would have almost ended by now, right?”

“Who are you talking to?” Chiba Shiori asked with some guesses in mind.

“A specter.”

Chiba Shiori’s eyes were brightened as she heard what Kazuki said.
