One Hundred and One Distressing Smile

"Are you all right? Brother?"

On the floor of the dojo, Akabane Nadeko seemed to be apologizing, and while supporting Akabane Raizen, he handed him the ice pack.

"fine…"

Akabane Lei really answered very puzzled, with a very clear red mark on his face.

Seeing Lei Zhen like this, Luo Zhen didn't feel any distress at all.

"Didn't you say that you want to learn martial arts? Why can't you even dodge such a simple attack?"

Luo Zhen said such words as if he had nothing to do with himself, and Akabane Lei Zhen couldn't refute for a while.

"Nadeko, you have to be careful when using . No matter how concentrated you are, you still can't relax your vigilance to the surroundings."

Akabane Tenzen, on the other hand, was like a big brother, and taught Akabane Nadeko.

"Yes, I understand, my lord brother."

Akabane Nadeko accepted Akabane Tenzen's teachings very sincerely.

but…

"Who made my brother scare me suddenly?"

When turning to Akabane Raima, Akabane Nadeko's tone became a little rude.

At home, Akabane Nadeko would address Akabane Tenzen as elder brother to show respect for Akabane Tenzen, and to Akabane Raima as elder brother to show a sense of closeness.

Therefore, for Akabane Raizuma, Akabane Nadeko's tone is generally more easy-going, and for Akabane Tenzen, Akabane Nadeko's tone is more respectful.

As for Luo Zhen, Akabane Nadeko directly called Mingshen brother, which is between respect and closeness, and the level of favorability can be seen at a glance.

However, generally speaking, the relationship between Akabane Nadeko and the three elder brothers in the family is very good, and there have not been any disputes or disputes. At most, the attitude and tone of the treatment are different.

Now, Akabane Nadeko's attitude towards Akabane Leizhen naturally became unkind.

"I heard that my brother defeated a very powerful shikigami in the forbidden area of ​​Izanagi-ryu. He must have grown up. Unexpectedly, my brother is still the same as before, unreliable at all."

Akabane Nadeko said such words without any politeness.

Akabane Lei really didn't care much about this.

"I've always been like this." Akabane Lei really said disapprovingly: "When I was in the forbidden area, I was only responsible for running around, and the real shot was Narugami."

"It's as I imagined." Akabane Nadeko nodded seriously, and then his tone suddenly softened, and said, "But brother must have worked hard, right?"

"Well... almost..." Akabane Lei really scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's right, you really deserve to be my brother." Akabane Nadeko said with a smile.

Seeing this scene, Akabane Tianquan couldn't help showing a smile, and Luo Zhen also spread his hands.

There was a sense of warmth between the four brothers and sisters that only exists among family members, and there is no doubt that there is a very deep relationship between these four people.

"By the way, Brother Narugami." Akabane Nadeko turned to Luo Zhen and asked, "I heard that the engagement between you and the princess of the Izanagi style has not been completed. Is this true?"

"That's right." Luo Zhen replied in a casual tone: "After all, the Forbidden Land Trial was made like that by us, and it would be too crazy to talk about marriage."

"Really?" Akabane Nadeko murmured, "That's true..."

Akabane Nadeko's murmurs fell on the ears of Akabane Tenzen and Akabane Raishin, and there didn't seem to be anything strange about it.

However, Luo Zhen became a little suspicious.

(Why does this tone sound a bit wrong?)

Luo Zhen thought about such a thing.

Immediately afterwards, Akabane Nadeko's speech made this feeling of something wrong even more intense.

"Please don't be discouraged, brothers.

"

Akabane Nadeko seemed to cheer up, and as if comforting something, she said this to Luo Zhen and Akabane Leizhen.

"Our family's marriage with Izanagi-ryu is already a fact. The two elder brothers will definitely have the opportunity to marry the princess of the Chinese family in the future."

Akabane Nadeko said that with a smile.

At first glance, this doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

But in Luo Zhen's ears, the emotions carried in Akabane Nadeko's words were somewhat complicated.

(what the hell is going on?)

Luo really thought about it.

(Could it be that Nadeko knows something about the marriage between the Akabane family and the Izanagi-ryu?)

Luo Zhen thought so.

While Luo Zhen was thinking, Akabane Leizhen had already talked with Akabane Nadeko.

"Maybe." Chibane Leizhen said very directly: "However, even if it becomes like that, the last thing Her Highness the Princess will see will be Narugami, not me."

"Really, brother, why do you say such things again?" Akabane Nadeko said dissatisfied: "Have some confidence in yourself, okay?"

"Nadashiko is right, Lei Zhen." Akabane Tianquan also reprimanded: "Even if your wish is to practice martial arts, you should have confidence in yourself. Once you lose confidence, no matter whether it is magic or martial arts, it will not favor you." your."

This is already a very strict reprimand.

Having lost his confidence in magic, Akabane Leizhen can only pin his hopes on martial arts. If even martial arts can't work, then Akabane Leizhen is really desperate.

But what Akabane Tianquan said was also correct.

If Chibane Leizhen has always had this attitude towards himself, then his future achievements must be very limited.

However, this time, Akabane Tenzen and Akabane Nadeko really wrongly blamed Akabane Leizhen.

"It's not that I don't have confidence in myself."

Akabane Leizhen glanced at Luo Zhen, and said such a sentence with some evil intentions.

"Brother Tian, ​​Nadeko, you don't know that Princess Izanagi-ryu is already interested in Narugami."

As soon as these words came out, Akabane Tenquan and Akabane Nadeko were immediately stunned.

Immediately, the two became very interested.

"Is this true? Brother Mingshen?"

Akabane Nadeko leaned over curiously.

"this…"

Luo Zhen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's really you, so that's what happened."

Seeing Luo Zhen's performance, Chibane Tianquan confirmed that Chibane Leizhen's words were true, and couldn't help smiling.

"It's amazing, Brother Mingshen, you are indeed a in our clan, even Her Royal Highness is fascinated by you."

Akabane Nadeko also smiled, sincerely happy for Luo Zhen.

But Luo Zhen didn't miss Akabane Nadeko's eyes at this moment.

It was a look of sadness, reassurance and blessing, and a completely enlightened look.

"Brother Mingshen can accomplish a good deed, and Nadeko is also satisfied."

Akabane Nadeko murmured again.

Unfortunately, this time, Luo Zhen didn't hear the whisper.

Luo Zhen only knew.

Today, Akabane Nadeko's smile makes people feel very distressed.

This distress lasted only for a moment.

Afterwards, Akabane Nadeko returned to her original state and chatted with a group of brothers.

Luo Zhen watched this scene, seeing Akabane Nadeko's still vigorous performance, and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

"Maybe I'm too sensitive?"

Therefore, Luo Zhen also participated in it.

The four brothers and sisters kept chatting about various interesting things.

until dark.
