37 History Lesson 6

after aotabo separates me from kazuma-san by grabbing him from his collar like a dog, kazuma-san begins to separate the handle of that katana from the blade to see the tang of that blade while he looks at me with cold eyes. even though he looks at me while tried to separate the katana, he does it with perfection. ck, fucking katana otaku!!! why don't you failed!!?? oh never mind about that, after all, i'm going to make ojii-chan and oyaji suffer from their dinner!!! i am going to put their food on some unknown pill that i found at the hut on the practice ground. i don't know what the hell with that pill but i know that it is such an important pill that was put alongside that book but i'm going to put that thing to their food when all of the kitchen staff including kejoro-san don't see me!!! hehehehe, i can see their reaction after dinner over and i say to them that i put that pill to their food!!!

well enough of my plan for them as kazuma-san suddenly calls me. why do you think that even though i planning through my head i could still notice someone call me? well with enough training, everyone can do it, well enough about that as kazuma-san with the same cold eyes tried to question me.

"ryouma-bochama, where the hell the real handle for this blade?"

"eh? what do you mean?"

"don't fool me this time. i notice now that this fucking handle is fake as nobody in their right mind put kiku no gomon seal on the handle at that time. also, don't try to fool me this time"

"well, the handle is too worn out as oyaji's men found it in the ground. so, i tried to restore that handle to a certain extent. after all, that kind of handle still can be restored with our clan blacksmith"

"huh, how fortunate of that your clan has the blacksmith in this modern time. ah, the blade is already out. let's see... hm? *wipe his eyes* hm? *wipe his eyes again* i see. this must be a dream that happens to me"

"kazuma-san?"

"after all, kiku-ichimonji's feature is the kiku no gomon seal that is on the tang of the blade as there is the only katana that being recognized by the emperor at that time. and yet, and yet!!! i just fucking see kiku no gomon on the tang in this fucking blade!!!! ah!!! that's right!!!! ryouma-bochama!!! this is must be another mean prank of yours, right!!!??? you must use that said of your clan's blacksmith to reproduce that seal and blade to look alike, right!!???"

"oi, don't slander me and our clan's blacksmith as a copycat as this is the real blade of kiku-ichimonji. if you don't believe me, try to see the blade's name"

"that's right!!! if this blade is fake then the maker's name must be this era style of writing. it is impossible to write that kind style of writing in the Heian-Kyo era!!! let's see.....no-no-no-nori-norimune!!!!!!! and that fucking writing style is the same as the writing of heian-kyo era!!! ah...HIIIIIII!!!!????"

"oi careful with that. after all, your organ is still not enough to pay that katana"

"h-h-h-ha..... oi!!! wait for the second!!! you said that this fucking blade is already restored to some extent!!! you, you!!!!"

"ahahahaha, to think that you still fall in the same trap again ahahahaha!!!"

"kkhhhh!!! this fucking brat!!!"

"ano.."

"huh!!!!??"

"uwaa, you are scaring keikain-chan with your face, kazuma-san. also, what is it, keikain-chan?"

"you!!!!! *sigh* i will remember this, ryouma-bochama. so, what is it, keikain-san?"

"tsunemoto-sensei, shouldn't okita souji's katana is a set of kaga kiyomitsu that consist of katana and wakizashi as kiku-ichimonji is just a rumor?"

"ho keikain-san, you are so knowledgeable about this. yep, that's right. okita souji's prized katana is a set of kaga kiyomitsu as this kiku-ichimonji is just a myth until this god damn the next head of this shitty clan show us this the real kiku-ichimonji to us"

"oi, i'm going to sue you for this"

"try it!!! i don't fucking scared with your threat!!! grrrr!!!"

"Alright, alright, i'm sorry, ok kazuma-san? don't be serious about jokes, alright?"

"you and your fucking jokes!!!!"

"you should calm down as this is the very reason that you're now a teacher for middle school, you know?"

"grrr!!! *inhale* *exhale* *inhale* *exhale* huuuufuuu. alright, no fucking jokes, alright ryouma-bochama? if you do it again---"

"i promise after all i and your student still need to eat lunch, right everybody?"

*nod* *nod*

"see?"

"ano? ryouma nii-san, i don't ne-"

"you are also including in our lunch session or you wanted to waste good food, right everybody?"

*nod* *nod*

*nod strongly*

"*sigh* i understand, i'm please you can have me and I'm sorry for the inconvenience"

"hahaha, please don't be stiff as you are also rikuo's classmate and friend"

"ryouma-bochama, enough of pleasantries!!!"

"wow, what the rush, kazuma-san?"

"remember our business?"

"ah! well, let's be quick about it. so, what are you asking again?"

"Alright, then lets me ask bluntly. just what connection between this katana and okita souji as a woman?"

"well, the answer is in your hand"

"this blade?"

"just try to grab that tang of the blade and feel it. then you are going to understand what connection of this blade to okita souji as a woman"

"ok"

then kazuma-san holds the tang of norimune, the name of that kiku-ichimonji. as he begins to get the most comfortable grip as hold the tang of the blade of the sword or in this case katana is very different as we grab katana with the handle still attached.

because he always appraises katana as his hobby, he quickly grabs a hold of the katana to his comfort. then he became eye-wide as he holds that katana as i begin to smile toward him because of the expected reaction from him. kazuma-san sees me as i smile at him. then he approaches me as he begins to question me.

"ryouma-bochama, is it what i think?"

"well, you should know about it. well let's hear your answer, is that katana?"

"no"

"then what?"

"wakizashi that have the shape of katana"

"yep, that katana is wakizashi that have the shape of katana"
