the other side

Kuina didn't run too far after running out of the Isshin Dojo. She just ran to the coast closest to the dojo and stared blankly at the rising waves on the sea, not knowing what she was thinking.

"It really is here."

A voice sounded from behind her, and Wuming put his hands on the back of his head and walked over leisurely.

The reason why she was able to find Guina so quickly was not because she had any special abilities. She just asked the villagers she met and the villagers pointed her in the direction.

Guina was a little surprised when she saw that the person coming was Wuming, but her expression was still a little downcast.

But before she could say anything, Wuming talked about what she had seen on the road just now.

"The boy who challenged Noel with you just now also came out to find you. He was originally in front of me, but for some reason he suddenly turned around and ran in the other direction.

I thought I made a mistake, but now it seems I didn't.So what did he do, do you know? "

Wuming asked with some confusion.

"That idiot..."

After listening, Guina suddenly had black lines all over her head. She held her forehead with a headache, sighed, and said helplessly:

"That guy is a stupid idiot, don't worry about him."

"Road crazy?"

Wuming recalled that Zoro was running in front of her just now and suddenly turned [-] degrees to the other side, and he continued to run forward without realizing it. Is there such a degree of road madness?

She couldn't help laughing and said:

"Haha, what a strange guy."

Kuina also changed from holding her forehead to covering her face. Zoro, that idiot Lu Chi, had completely embarrassed their Isshin Dojo!

However, after this incident, Guina felt a little more relaxed. She asked Wuming:

"You are that swordsman's companion, right? Why did you come to me?"

"It's not because Noel deliberately lowered his strength to your level to guide you. As a result, you ran away as soon as you lost, making it seem like he bullied you."

Wuming complained unceremoniously.

On the Iron Fortress, Noel had been instructing the Nine Intellectuals in the swordsmanship like this.

"Sorry, I was willful. But what I want is not guidance, but a fight with all my strength!"

Guina apologized first, and then said stubbornly.

"Try your best? But it's obvious that you can't even beat Noel who deliberately suppressed his strength."

Wuming was playing with the ribbon around his neck and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Guina couldn't help clenching her fists. Of course she knew, but...!

Suddenly, Guina asked Wuming:

"Do you have any dreams?"

"Dream? My current dream is to be with Noel all the time, and then, hehe..."

Wuming's face turned slightly red while he was talking, and he accidentally fell into his own delusion.

Guina felt a little strange about Wuming's reaction, but she didn't delve into it. She just said with some envy:

"In that case, your dream has almost come true. It's great."

Because Wuming was also a girl and was just a stranger to her, so she could chat without any worries, so Guina couldn't help but start talking about her own affairs.

"I also have a dream, or goal, which is to become the most powerful swordsman in the world. From the first time I came into contact with kendo and defeated my opponent for the first time, it has become the goal I have been pursuing."

"I practiced Kendo hard every day and soon became the number one in the dojo. Not only boys my age, but even adults couldn't beat me.

Therefore, I always thought that I would inherit the Isshin Dojo and then work hard to become the most powerful swordsman in the world.But my father didn't think so. "

Guina looked down at her calloused hands and said:

"Although he never said it to me face to face, I actually heard him say it many times, 'Girls will never be the number one in the world because of physical limitations.'"

"I am not convinced or willing to give up, so I have been practicing hard. No matter whether it is boys or adults of the same age, even Zoro has never defeated me. I want to prove to my father that even girls can become The world’s best swordsman!”

"But after this battle, I think what my father said may be true. I wish I was a boy too."

The expression on Guina's face was full of unwillingness.

However, Wuming just tilted his head and said:

"Are you unwilling to be the best in the world? What a strange thought."

Wuming actually couldn't understand Guina's reluctance.

Because after hearing Guina's story, she couldn't help but recall the past.

She was receiving training among the Karikata clan at that time, but she was not only a girl, but also a child. Whether it was strength or physical strength, she was much weaker than others in all aspects, so her performance among the crowd was always unsatisfactory.

But among the Karikata people, people without strength cannot survive.

In order to survive, she could only accept the transformation into Kabaneri. After that, after continuous training, she not only survived, but also became the best [Claw] among the Karikata people.

Guina wanted to become a boy in order to realize her dream; but she chose to become Kabaneri just to survive.

Therefore, Wuming also told Guina about his past.

As for Kabaneri, she only said that she accepted the transformation - Noel said that there are also transformation people in this world, so there is no problem in saying so.

"Just to survive..."

After listening to Wuming's past, Guina was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Just as Wuming couldn't understand her unwillingness, she also couldn't imagine what Wuming had gone through.

Although the sea is also full of dangers now, she has never experienced danger since she was a child growing up in a dojo. She and Wuming are like people from two different worlds.

"but,"

Wuming suddenly said:

"Noel once said that everyone is different, and they will naturally have their own understanding of views and concepts on various things. But the most important thing is to strengthen your own beliefs."

This is what Noel said to them when she first argued with Ikoma.

Guina was stunned when she heard this.

"If you want to become the best swordsman in the world, just stick to it and don't care about other people's opinions. I think if it were Noel, he would definitely say this, right?"

Wuming said with a smile.

Keep your faith and stick to it...?

Guina looked at Wuming's smile and felt something in her heart.

At the same time, she also began to have a little curiosity about Noel.

Wuming, who had such a past, could now show such a happy smile and encourage her in turn. She didn't know the change in this, but I'm afraid it had something to do with the man named Noel.

So, Guina finally showed a smile and said:

"Well, I will, thank you for your encouragement. By the way, can I call your name?"

"Eh?"

Wuming was stunned for a moment, then reacted and showed a bright smile:

"Of course, then I will call you Guina!"

Guina smiled and nodded:

"Well! It's been a while since we came out, Wuming, let's go back together."

No matter what impact this conversation has on the two of them, at least from now on, they have a small friendship with each other.
