The Sword Deity in Tokyo Chapter 83: 【Peak Kendo Showdown】
UDX Building, second floor, Akihabara Plaza Lounge.
Just as Kimura Kazuki was thinking hard, Muraoka Xingxia was holding his mobile phone, nodded and said, "I will... President, don't worry, there will be no problems with this comic exhibition. I promise, Rest assured, it will be a complete success, and the promotion of "Legend of Swords" will also be on the agenda!"
When Muraoka Xingxia put down the phone, his face darkened, and he yelled, "How can I fix it! Tsukahara Yuma is really a guy who doesn't believe in his words. He promised to come over today, but he sent me away in a word. ?"
Today's comic exhibition at Akihabara Plaza is held by Qingji Club, and the reason why it is free is for "Legend of Swords". Qingji Club has only established a new company for one year, and its main direction is light novels. "Legend of Swords" is Qingji Club's first light novel adapted from manga and animation, and it won the second place in the annual work ranking of "This light novel is really amazing" in 2018.
Although the reputation of "this light novel is really amazing" has dropped a lot in recent years, netizens and readers have complained about 'this shady story is really amazing' and 'this newcomer is really amazing' and so on... But "this light novel is really amazing" "In Japan, both in the industry and readers are extremely famous.
"Legend of Sword and Sword" can be regarded as the second most popular work of the year. Last year, the anime adaptation was completed and received a warm response. This year's animation adaptation plan has been put on the agenda and is expected to be launched in July.
And this free comic exhibition is naturally for "Legend of Swords", which is a warm-up promotion. Originally, Muraoka Xingxia was going to hold a kendo competition at the booth. In order to promote "Legend of Sword and Sword" to the best of his ability, he invited Yuma Tsukahara from Tsukahara's family and Ono Nakayo from Ono's family.
You must know that these two were the top ten in the youth group of the Asahi Kendo Competition last year. They are extremely famous in the Kendo world. Anyone who knows Kendo will be familiar with them.
As a result, Tsukahara Yuma couldn't come today. If he had said earlier, he wouldn't be so angry... The event started, so I called him to tell him that he couldn't come...
Under anxiety, he called the president and wanted to ask him if he knew any powerful kendo masters. As a result, the keen president noticed the situation. It made him so angry now.
"Brother-in-law... That guy Tsukahara must also have difficulties. He sent a message to me on his mobile phone and told me that his grandfather told him not to come, and he said that it was a good thing to show up as a swordsman, and then he was locked up. ." Ono Zhongqing was sitting on the sofa, holding the Fat House Happy Water in his left hand while drinking, and watching the information on his mobile phone.
"What time is it, and swordsmen are not allowed to show their faces!?" Muraoka Xingxia picked up his mobile phone and saw that he had also received a text message from Tsukahara Yuma. Better than no reason. And Tsukahara Yuma's absence was indeed a force majeure factor. Thinking about it, he said indignantly, "Isn't Tsukahara Yuma's participation in the kendo competition also a publicity?"
"The Asahi Kendo Competition is different." Ono Zhongqing whispered, "And if you weren't my brother-in-law, I wouldn't come. My father has always taught me that swordsmanship is murder, and the sword must see blood! If it's used for performance..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw his brother-in-law look over with cold eyes, making him smile shyly, and didn't say any more.
"Have you ever killed chickens since you were a child?" Muraoka said with contempt, "Hanjian is a killing technique... Why didn't you use real swords in the competition? Why didn't you see bloodshed at the Asahi Kendo Competition? You Dad is an old antique, why are you following the middle school."
Ono Zhongqing kept his mouth shut. He couldn't compete with his brother-in-law in terms of the advantage of words. And he also felt that what his brother-in-law said had some truth.
Seeing that Ono Zhongqing stopped talking, Muraoka Xingxia also sat down on the sofa, frowning and said, "Do you know anyone who can come here..."
"Brother-in-law, you have just asked this question. Even if they have time, isn't your event about to start... It's too late."
"Really..." Muraoka Xingxia rubbed his head, it seemed that he was a little flustered. He looked at the time and there were ten minutes left. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhongqing, you must help brother-in-law with this task."
After Muraoka Xingxia told the plan, Ono Nakaqing panicked, "No... how can you cheat! Brother-in-law, you said that you asked me to come over to fight against Tsukahara Yuma..."
"Hey...If you don't agree, I'm going to be fired by the president. And I'm in my thirties. If I'm fired, I probably won't be able to find a job. If I can't find a job, Yuuki will have to work with you. I'm on the street together... oh and your four-year-old nephew..."
Ono Zhongqing was speechless.
In the end, Ono Zhongqing agreed. He just hoped that his father would not know about it.
Ten minutes later, Muraoka Xingxia stood under the empty exhibition stand, looked at the densely packed heads below, and secretly thought in his heart, "Legend of Swords" is really very popular, and this popularity can't be in his own hands.
"Welcome to the manga exhibition organized by the Youth Club..." Although Muraoka Xingxia gave a long speech, his voice was not in a hurry, but it attracted many people.
Mainly, of course, because a banner was pulled up on the booth.
[The Peak Kendo Showdown! The winner will receive a prize of 150,000 yen. ]
This was just hung up, so many people saw the banner and ran over to watch it out of curiosity. It's very rare to have a kendo competition at Comic-Con.
"...Everyone knows that "Legend of the Sword" is a light novel that tells the story of the famous weapons of the Warring States Period that were passed down to the modern age, and then fought in the city because of their magical power. Fighting, or fighting for ideas~IndoMTL.com~ Every famous tool has a different idea and belief...that's why "Legend of Swords" has been so successful."
"And the "Legend of Swords" animation Qingji Club has already started production, and will meet you in July. This time the comic exhibition is to promote the warm-up, so we also invited the youth group of the Asahi Kendo Competition last year. The eighth-ranked Ono Nakasho, he will become the leader, and you will be the challengers. As long as you defeat Ono Nakasho in the ring, you will get a bonus of 100,000 yen!"
As Muraoka Xingxia's voice fell, Ono Nakaqing walked up from the booth.
"This is... Cos's Muramasa?"
"It's too similar, and it's so handsome!"
"The quality of this Cos is no longer there, and I heard from the host that he is still a ranked player in the Kendo competition?"
"It doesn't look like this trip is in vain!"
It is undeniable that Ono Zhongqing's appearance is excellent. He wears a black and white robe, and the wide cuffs have an elegant temperament as he walks. Wearing a high-quality wig on his head, with long black hair, shawls down, carrying a bamboo knife, just standing on the exhibition stand without saying a word, also has a gentle gentleman's atmosphere.
But Yaodao Village itself is known as a symbol of "bad luck". Therefore, the temperament of Ono Zhongqing, combined with the ominous reputation of Yaodao, completely showed the sense of contradiction of Muramasa in the novel.
In an instant, the sound of the camera clicking under the stage can be heard endlessly. Some girls even screamed, obviously fascinated by Ono Nakao's handsomeness.
Looking at Muraoka Xingxia, he held the microphone and said excitedly, "So... who will be the first to challenge?"
Muraoka Xingxia's voice just fell...
"I'll come."
