Book 8: Chapter 3 (2)
As they did not have anything urgent to do, Shin and Karin followed Kankurou to the Toudou house’s dojo.
It was a separate compound, used only by Kankurou, Toshiro, and a few others.
In the same way as the Saegusa house, the dojos were separated between teaching use and personal use.
“Some wish to focus on personal training without being bothered by their surroundings. This dojo is also used sometimes for matches such as this.”
“….I suppose they don’t want to be seen.”
“Well, yes, that would be better.”
Shin and Toshiro then both wielded wooden swords.
As Kankurou had told Shin on their way to the dojo, Toshiro was close in level to the Hinomoto Brave Ten. The aura Shin felt emanating from Toshiro convinced him that it had to be the truth.
While they were talking, Shin regarded Toshiro as a guy he couldn’t help but like, but now the man before him was nothing but a proud swordsman.
