Chapter 480: Taniguchi Bunndai’s Backup Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Standing at the yard gate, Lu Shu put on a sophisticated look and eyed the crowd of students gathering in front of his dojo . In fact, he did have a great master’s mien when he wanted to .

What was a great master’s mien? Absolute confidence, of course .

When someone wanted to pick a fight with the dojo, a great master would dismiss him with ease because he knew he was unbeatable .

Now, the same went for Lu Shu . Anything could be the essence of swordplay if he insisted so, because no high school students could defeat him .

In only an hour, there were already dozens of students sitting in the hall with their legs crossed . They were ecstatic to have lessons with Sakurai Yaeko…

Although honestly Lu Shu did not want to draw a percentage from his earnings to be given to Sakurai, it was a long-term strategy .

Sakurai Yaeko walked to Lu Shu and made a bow . “I suppose there are no more students for today . Shall we begin our lessons now?”

Right, thought Lu Shu, it was unrealistic to expect every Nishinokyo high school student to come due to the fees . But he was surprised to see a handful of girls in the group .

Seriously? Japanese girls are into THAT?!

“Alright . Sakurai, you’ll be the teacher for today . You can practice what you have learned through guiding others as well,” Lu Shu said, acting as if it was totally sensible . Then he returned to the backyard for a rest .

Those students did not mind at all . After all, they had come for Sakurai Yaeko . They would be more than happy if she could teach them herself!

But Sakurai was on the brink of frustration . So it turned out that you simply wanted to keep me busy?!

“From Sakurai Yaeko’s distress, +666!”

At the moment, the front hall was filled with laughter . Lu Shu liked this kind of teaching mode, because everyone was happy about it, except Sakurai Yaeko .

Bunndai smiled, covering her mouth . “You are so interesting . I can see that young lady likes you, yet you are making things difficult for her . Actually the Kiriharas had never hosted so many students concurrently before . It reminds me of those old days . So boisterous . ”

“She has approached me with hidden agendas . She is a Class C, yet pretends to be an ordinary student . Besides, she came right after Kirihara Yousuke’s parents’ passing . It can’t be so coincidental,” Lu Shu said . He did not think it was necessary to keep it a secret from Bunndai, since they were on the same team .

Bunndai did not seem surprised . “Things like this are actually quite normal, though I haven’t noticed anything unusual about her . Be careful, though . ”

A question suddenly struck Lu Shu, and he thought aloud, “If I’m exposed, you will surely be in trouble . Has the Heavenly Network prepared any backup plan for you?”

Bunndai made a deep bow . “Thank you for your concern . My current identity is not the only one I have . I will retreat safely before danger arrives . You don’t have to worry too much about me . ”

Thus, if Lu Shu’s mission failed, Bunndai would start a new life with another identity .

In fact, she felt happy and touched by Lu Shu’s concern . No one would be willing to team up with a cold-blooded reptile anyway .

In the meantime, Chiba stopped in front of the lively dojo .

Down about her studies, she decided to go for a walk, though she could not explain why she had ended up outside Kirihara’s house . Mixed feelings welled up in her heart at the sight of the dojo . No wonder Kiriharakun had rejected her invitation to a movie, it was because he was busy with reviving his family’s martial arts business .

Immediately her depression from the rejection was swept away . You are the best, Kiriharakun! She thought .

In the next instant, however, the poster caught her attention . “Sakurai Yaeko’s swordplay”!

She took a long moment to straighten out her thoughts . Had Sakurai Yaeko been practicing swordplay with Kiriharakun all along?

The phrasing of the poster was indeed misleading . It seemed to suggest that all of Sakurai’s sword skills were learned from the Kiriharas .

Chiba felt a sharp prick in her heart . Distress crossed her face as she realized that Kiriharakun’s refusal to watch Sakurai’s sword match was not because of a lack of interest . Furthermore, Sakurai’s confession was not a pure coincidence either .

Could it be that she had developed admiration for Kiriharakun during their long-term practice? It was highly likely .

Chiba was pretty too, but her body could not be compared to Sakurai Yaeko’s at all . As a matter of fact, many Japanese girls were not blessed with an attractive body shape from birth . But Sakurai was an exception .

Thinking of that, Chiba’s heart was plunged into gloom again .

She turned and continued to walk forward . Then, she heard something landing on the ground in the lane next to the Kiriharas’ yard . Out of curiosity, she looked in that direction, only to see Lu Shu walking out after just having climbed over the wall .

“Kiriharakun?!” Chiba gasped in shock, and shot another look at the dojo . “I thought you were teaching inside!”

Lu Shu was stunned too, not expecting to see Chiba there . “Err… Why are you here?”

Nervous, Chiba immediately pulled an excuse . “I’m going to buy groceries and happened to walk past here . ”

“Oh . ” Lu Shu gave a nod and decided to leave, with no intention to justify his suspicious actions…

Before he walked far, he turned and whispered . “Don’t tell anyone that I climbed out . It’s a secret!”

Chiba nodded, but did not extend any invitation to Lu Shu again . She needed time to muster her courage after the rejection .

Yet, she felt uplifted, as Kiriharakun did not spend most of his time with Sakurai Yaeko, and now the two of them even shared a secret .
