Chapter 386: The Swordsman's Appointment
Lynn pushed the door open and walked in.
At this time, Koshiro was kneeling on the ground with his knees bent, and there was a tea table in front of him.
After discovering that the person who came in was not Kuina, Koshiro couldn't help but frown.
Facing Lin En who was walking towards him, he slowly asked with doubt: "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lynn didn't say anything extra, but took off his hood directly.
Try face scanning.
After the hood was taken off, Lin En's light red eyes appeared in front of Koshiro.
His face turned pale, and then he took a breath.
After calming down his somewhat rapid breathing, Koshiro said in a gentle tone: "Excuse me, Mr. Xueyan, the famous Mr. Lin En, came here to see me, is there anything I can do for you?"
Ding, face recognition is successful.
Lin En just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that he was so famous that even Koshiro, who was far away in the East China Sea, had heard of him.
However, apart from teaching the apprentices in the dojo swordplay every day, this guy's usual pastime is reading newspapers...
It wasn't surprising that he recognized Lynn.
Now that you know yourself, things will be easier.
Koshiro politely gestured to Lin En and invited him to take a seat.
However, Lin En did not choose to kneel on the mat.
Instead, he pulled over a chair and sat down on it.
“My purpose for coming here today is.
I have a crush on a kid from this gym and want to bring him back to the navy for training." Lin En smiled.
"Oh? I see."
When Koshiro saw that Lin En was not here to cause trouble, he relaxed a little and said with an elegant smile.
As long as you're not here to cause trouble, everything is fine.
"Excuse me, which child do you like?"
Could that child be Zoro?
Could it be that he sees the same qualities as I do, that he sees in Zoro the qualities to become a strong man?
Koshiro guessed in his heart.
"I fell in love with a girl with short black hair. Her name seems to be Kuina." Lin En said.
On his way to Shimotsuki Dojo, he asked Kuina her name.
So there is no question of how he knew Kuina's name.
When Koshiro heard that Lin En's crush was Kuina,
His complexion suddenly changed.
Then he said, "But she is just a girl. Because girls have burdens and physical problems, they can never become strong."
Koshiro was very surprised that the candidate Lin En chose was actually his daughter Kuina!
“Everything depends on human effort.
If you don't even have the courage to work hard, even if you have great talent, you will eventually be buried.
Moreover, I am sure that I can at least make her a swordsman." Lin En said seriously.
Koshiro could tell from the expression on Lin En's face that he was serious!
He really wants to train Kuina to become a strong person!
"Is it up to human beings?..."
Koshiro murmured to himself, thinking about this sentence he had never heard before.
In the end, I felt that it made some sense and nodded.
“It’s good to have the determination to become what you want to be.
But some things are determined from birth and cannot be changed just because you want to.
No matter what, Kuina is always just a weak girl.
Although she is now quite talented in swordsmanship.
However, as long as any apprentice in my dojo is willing to work hard, it is only a matter of time before they catch up with Kuina."
He was not very optimistic about a girl being able to become a strong person or a great swordsman!
After all, in their country, girls are supposed to do housework at home, serve men, and wait for their husbands to go out early and come back late.
Instead of showing up outside.
Delusionally wanting to accomplish something unrealistic.
Girls should act like girls, Kuina.
Koshiro exudes a strong feudal flavor.
As expected, he is a man who came from the chauvinistic Wano Country and the Shimotsuki samurai family.
Outside the door, there were two figures secretly putting their ears against the door to eavesdrop on the conversation between Koshiro and Lin En inside.
When I met my father, he always had this view about my gender.
Kuina just felt very sad.
I couldn't help but clench my fists tightly.
"That's too much, is this really your father...
At least my father never said such sad words to me. Until his death, he never despised me for being a burden to him..."
Philo murmured softly.
There was a hint of sympathy in the look he gave Kuina.
The reason why Kuina was eavesdropping here was because he was very curious about how Lin En would convince her father to let her join the navy.
I didn't expect to hear such heartbreaking words from my father.
This made Guina feel a little depressed, and her heart was in a state of confusion.
She was just a child after all, unable to hide the emotions that showed on her face.
……
Lin En knew that Koshiro's machismo was not something that could be developed in a short period of time, and it was related to the environment in which he lived.
So there was no need to say anything more to refute his ideas.
Lin En's lowered face looked a little heavy, then he raised his head and finally couldn't help laughing.
Koshiro also frowned slightly, not knowing what Lin En was laughing at.
Is he wrong?
Girls can't be the strongest.
This is something passed down from our ancestors.
There must be a reason why words can be passed down for a long time.
Lin En suddenly stopped smiling at this moment, and his face became more serious than ever before.
Seriously, it makes people feel handsome.
Lin En said calmly:
"How about we make a bet?"
Koshiro was puzzled: "Bet?"
Lynn: “That’s right.”
Koshiro: "What's the bet?"
Lynn: “You personally train a swordsman to go to the bet.
I will train Kuina and make her into a swordsman!
On the appointed day, let them fight.
When.
I'll make you understand that Kuina is not as fragile as you think!
As long as you are determined to work hard and become stronger, even if you are a girl, you will not lose to a man!
"
Lin En said this in a confident voice, and it didn't sound like he was joking.
Koshiro also felt Lin En's determination to make his daughter strong.
His heart was inexplicably touched by Lin En's words.
Then he asked, “Why are you doing this?
Although Kuina is a girl, she cannot become a strong person.
But even if you win the bet, you won't get any benefits.
Because she is my daughter, if she can become a strong person, I will be happy for her.
Regardless of the outcome of the competition, I will be the ultimate beneficiary."
"I have only one goal."
Lin En seemed to glance at the direction of the door inadvertently. He had already discovered Kuina who was eavesdropping outside the door.
Then he said in a very serious tone:
"If Kuina can win this agreement,
I hope you can apologize to her!"
