Akabane family, mansion.

When Luo Zhen and his party came back from outside, the gate here was already full of people who came to greet them.

"Welcome back!"

"Welcome back!"

A group of clansmen reunited with their families one after another, and one by one they gathered at the gate, full of laughter.

And when Luo Zhen and Akabane Lei Zhen also got off the carriage, the laughter had subsided a lot.

"Master Narugami, welcome back."

Accompanied by the greeting of one of the clansmen, the rest of the clansmen also gathered around Luo Zhen.

"I've heard, Master Narujin."

"I heard that you defeated a very powerful Shikijin in the forbidden land of Izanagi-ryu."

"A fire was also put in the forbidden ground."

"I'd love to see the expressions of the people of Izanagiri."

The clansmen of the Akabane clan spoke like this one after another, and their words were full of enthusiasm.

Within a few days, all the things that Rajin had done in Izanagi were reported back to the family, and the people in the family talked about it.

"It's a pity that Master Narujin is not engaged to Princess Izanagiri."

"But that's not Narugame's fault either."

"If only Young Master Narugami had gone alone, maybe the matter would have been done a long time ago."

"yes."

The clansmen talked so much about it, and they were somewhat suspected of going too far.

At least, Akabane Lei Zhen was not only ignored by the fact that he was fighting side by side with Luo Zhen, but was also considered to be holding back.

This made Luo Zhen frown slightly.

Only Akabane Raijin turned a blind eye to all this, and didn't seem to be surprised by this development at all.

"Who made me a waste, even if I told others that I contributed to the matter of Yanyanluo, others wouldn't believe it, right?"

Akabane Rai said something like this self-deprecatingly.

After all, the Akabane clan had long been accustomed to Akabane Lei's really inaction, and now that they suddenly heard that he was showing his might, how could they not doubt it?

If it weren't for the fact that there were still people in Izanagiryu who could testify to the testimony of Tsuchiren Hirin, Kamo Pleiades, and Bow Cutting Rokuren, then others wouldn't believe that Akabane Rai really helped, right?

The reality is so cruel.

Until...

"I believe in you."

With such a sentence coming out, Akabane Thunder's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head and looked at the gate.

There, Akabane Tianquan slowly walked towards this side, and smiled trustfully at Akabane Leizhen.

"It's my brother, it's a good job."

Akabane Tianquan praised like this.

"Brother Tian!"

Akabane Raya suddenly felt like he was being redeemed.

"Narukami has worked hard, too." Chi Yu Tianquan turned his gaze to Luo Zhen and said, "I have also heard about it, I didn't expect to be able to defeat Yanyan Luo, I am curious about how much your ability has improved now." ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhen said indifferently: "Won't you know when the next puppet drill is held?" ”

"That's right." Akabane Tian couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Akabane Sokan, who had been silent beside him, spoke up.

"Okay, everyone go back to reunite with their families, don't crowd at the gate."

Akabane Kongguan admonished while speaking to Luo Zhen, Akabane Tianquan, and Akabane Lei Zhen.

"You brothers also get together alone, let's talk about your feelings during this time."

After speaking, Akabane Kongguan took the lead in bringing the people in the family into the Akabane family together, leaving only the three brothers of the Akabane family to stay here and watch the clansmen leave.

"That's right, Brother Tian." Akabane Raijin asked at Akabane Tianquan, "What about Nadeshiko?" ”

"She's in the dojo." Akabane Tianquan smiled: "After hearing that you are active in Izanagi-ryu, Nadeshiko has also been angry and trying to strengthen herself in the past few days, and has been staying in the dojo to practice the technique of 'Nian Dong', and strive to master the 'Puppet Technique' as soon as possible. ”

"Really?" Akabane Thunder groaned.

"Let's go meet Nadeshiko." Chi Yu Tianquan patted Chi Yu Lei Zhen on the shoulder and said this to Luo Zhen.

"It's fine." Luo Zhen didn't object, and said, "I may have to go into retreat again after that, so let's go see Nadeshiko before that." ”

Izanagiru's party made Rajin regain his understanding of the importance of his abilities.

Therefore, Luo Zhen couldn't wait to start his practice again.

"The level of the 'Summoning Technique' has to continue to increase, even if it can't reach the level of summoning a superior demon, then you should master a few more intermediate demon summonings."

"The 'Puppet Technique' should also be further refined, the group tactics I saw in the library last time have not yet been fully understood."

"The technique of the eight ladders of magicians, I have to think about moving on to the next stage."

"There is also the opening of the magic circuit, which is a top priority, after all, no matter what kind of magic it is, it needs magic to support it."

To sum up, Luo Zhen still has a lot to do.

Not to mention...

"I haven't even started studying the 'Red Wing Array' that I'm coveting."

As soon as he thought of these things, Luo Zhen's mood jumped.

Compared with going out to fool around, staying at home to study magic is Luo Zhen's greatest pursuit.

"It's you."

Akabane Tianquan seemed to be able to understand Luo Zhen's true pursuit, and his words were full of admiration for Luo Zhen.

It's just that this is definitely not an interesting topic for Akabane Raijin.

"Alright, let's go find Nadeshiko."

Akabane Lei Zhen urged sullenly.

So, the group left the gate and headed in the direction of the dojo.

…………

Akabane family, dojo.

At this time, there was only a slender figure in the vast dojo.

A little black-haired girl in a kimono was sitting on the cold floor, her eyes closed, and her body was fluctuating with considerable magic.

"Hey!"

With a crisp shout, the little girl stretched out her hand and turned her magic into telekinesis and injected it into the puppet standing in front of her.

"Click, click..."

The puppet suddenly moved.

The movements are not very flexible, like a baby who has just learned to walk, and the appearance of staggering is a little staggering, so that the sound of the swing of the joints is transmitted to the surroundings very clearly.

"And so it goes... Go on..."

The cute little girl muttered nervously, constantly injecting magic into the puppet, manipulating the puppet's actions.

Gradually, the puppet's movements began to become flexible.

"Good!"

The little girl suddenly showed a cute smile like joy.

I didn't notice it at all, and behind it, three figures had already appeared.

"What's the matter!?"

Akabane Raijin deliberately raised his voice and called out.

"Yikes!"

The little girl let out a grief, and her magic power was disordered, causing the puppet to sprang up like a spring, flying directly towards the three figures behind it.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the puppet's feet kicked heavily on Akabane Raijine's face.

"Whoa...!?"

Akabane Thunder fell.

As for Luo Zhen and Akabane Tianquan, they very calmly unfolded the shield of the "Magic Defense" and blocked the flying puppets.

The little girl turned around and saw the three figures behind her, and she spoke out in surprise.

"Brothers!"

She is none other than the youngest daughter of Akabane Kongkan———— Akabane Nadeshiko.
