"Well, your aura is pretty good, and your swordsmanship can be said to be upright, but you can't inherit my mantle like this."

Sitting on the ground in a courtyard full of flowers, Du En shook his head and looked at the girl who was performing a sword dance with his Kodachi in the center of the courtyard.

"Oh, what's happening, Mr. Musashi, can I give up my position to Crusch? She has always been looking forward to you who hunted the white whale. It would be too heartless to refuse her."

"So, it's only been a few days, and even the children know my name?"

With a finger flick on the forehead of the blond boy next to him, Du En said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Furthermore, when did I say that you were my disciple? It's just that your father invited me to be the swordsmanship instructor for your brothers. Since I live in the royal capital temporarily, I can't refuse him. It doesn't mean that you

He is my disciple."

By wasting three days every month, you can earn 100 holy gold coins, which is equivalent to 00 ordinary gold coins. It is difficult to find such a profitable commission.

After all, the mercenary guild's commissioned tasks with high rewards are not ordinary troubles. Tasks such as hunting down the three major monsters and hunting down the witch priest cannot be completed in a day or two.

As the leader of the Witch Cult that has been causing great trouble to the kingdom, the reward for hunting down the Witch Cult can be described as "lucrative."

If the money was not given, Du En would not have to pay attention to the king's request, but the old man from the Wise Men's Association promised payment, so Du En did not refuse.

As a mercenary, of course you get paid to do things, but the identity of a disciple cannot be given casually.

Not to mention that Du En himself has not fully mastered Musashi's sword skills. Even if he fully mastered it, he would not just accept others as his disciples.

At least it has to be something pleasing to the eye.

The young man next to him was definitely not good at it. He looked like a loser and had no talent for swordsmanship at first glance.

On the other hand, the girl who was sword dancing in the courtyard not far away, her serious expression was really cute, she seemed to be rubbing her face, touching her head, and raising her head high...

Ahem, the talent of the girl named Kurxiu is actually quite good.

"Well, it's not impossible to accept her as a disciple, but she definitely won't be able to learn my sword skills. But that guy's sword skills might be suitable for her."

In Musashi's memory, there is only one swordsman whom he clearly remembers, and that is Sasaki Kojiro.

A man who loves elegance and is always calm and composed, even if his skin is torn or his body is seriously injured, he remains calm.

Musashi is different. If he encounters an opponent he cannot defeat, he will definitely run away. He will do whatever it takes to win. The only word "upright" cannot be used for Musashi.

In terms of demeanor, Du En saw a similar shadow in the girl. The girl was not suitable for learning Musashi's sword skills, but she might be able to learn Sasaki Kojiro's sword skills.

Those who know themselves best are often their opponents. As a powerful enemy that Miyamoto Musashi remembers, Sasaki Kojiro's swordsmanship also exists in Miyamoto Musashi's memory.

You may not be able to use that magic sword move, but there is still no problem in teaching a girl who has just started swordsmanship.

"Although I can't teach you my own swordsmanship, I can teach you the swordsmanship of a guy who is not weaker than me. That guy has the same personality as you and is a serious type. Learn that guy's swordsmanship.

, you might be able to make a thousand miles in a day."

After stopping the girl who was still sweating in the courtyard, Du En told her his thoughts.

"A swordsman who is not weaker than Ms. Musashi?"

There is no doubt about Du En's words. Although he can kill the white whale, Du En's strength can be regarded as the top in the entire kingdom.

But a swordsman would not easily admit another swordsman. Since Du En said so, there must be a swordsman who is not inferior to him and equally powerful.

"Well, if you want, I don't mind if you study under my name."

"Um."

He nodded heavily in response, and seeing the girl's sparkling eyes, Du En always felt that it might be very profitable to open a gym in another world, and those high-ranking officials would definitely not mind if their children were there.

He studied under the name of a powerful swordsman.

"In this case, when I live in the royal capital, you can come to my house to study every morning. Your father won't object, right?"

"I will convince Father."

Seeing the serious look on the girl's face, Du En suddenly felt that the girl's father must often be worried about his daughter.

What if you can’t get married in the future?

However, Du En felt that the other party might not have to worry about this kind of thing.

because--

"Wait, wait a minute, since Kurxiu has gone, I will go too."

Seeing Du En looking over, the cowardly prince showed his tough side for the first time.

"I, I paid my tuition. If Curio wants to go, then I will go too."

I forgot to mention that the boy who followed the girl like a follower was none other than King Lugnica, Randharu Lugnica's fourth son, Freeai Lugnica.

He looked helplessly at Friel, who had a stubborn look on his face. He liked Lolita, not Shota.

However, Kurxiu, who is already thirteen years old, can no longer be regarded as a loli.

"Forget it, you can come if you want, but I've said it first, if you can't complete the homework I assigned, then I will kick you out."

After some threats, Du En waved his hand as he looked at Friel who was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Anyway, come to my house tomorrow. I will teach you some basic swordsmanship. First, practice the starting position tens of thousands of times..."

"Tens of thousands of times!?"

"A swordsman without a solid foundation will never be a qualified swordsman, let alone a true swordsman."

After admonishing Fliere again, and seeing Fliere's face turned into the shape of a bitter melon, Du En felt an inexplicable sense of pride as a teacher.

The matter was settled like this, and King Lugnika was naturally happy to see his fourth son go to Duen's home for guidance.

On the other hand, Curxiu's father seemed a little unhappy. He was a middle-aged man who looked extremely elegant. Apart from his eyes, he had almost no resemblance to Curxiu. In terms of personality, I always felt that Curxiu was more mature.

Be stronger.

Although he didn't want his daughter to stray further and further away from the definition of a lady, he only had one daughter, Curxiu, and Curxiu didn't have any brothers, so he was destined to inherit the Karlsten family's family business.

Under such circumstances, there is no way to suppress the servants in the territory unless you are tougher.

In this way, after killing the white whale, Du En stayed in the royal capital for a full week, giving good guidance to Curio, Friai, and other princes and highnesses in their swordsmanship.
