Book 3: Chapter 116: Dojo Disciple Lily

Bitch! How dare you attack me, an inspector?! K-Ka The obese inspector almost pulled out the katana secured at his waist in an attempt to intimidate the woman who had stopped him with her katanas sheath, but he was left dumbfounded when he saw who it was that he had just cursed, Y-You are

The inspector looked at the tall and long-legged, slim and full-bosomed, long-haired, red-dressed maiden who wielded a nodachi

Kagami Lily?! The inspectors expression morphed.

Yes, its me, Lily stated indifferently.

A layer of cold sweat formed on the obese inspectors forehead as his face changed colors. Although most of the samurai and officials of the East hadnt seen Kagami Lily, almost all of them had heard rumors of her.

This inspector had also heard of the woman known as Kagami Lily as there were rumors about her hitting an inspector. The rumors told that although she looked like a G.o.ddess, she was actually vicious and merciless, and also quite impulsive as well, that she ignored the consequences whenever she acted and took action first before reporting, and that she had beaten an inspector, Lord Nagasaki, so badly that he was on bedrest for half-a-month.

The inspector knew that she wasnt a woman who followed common sense1.

He had heard that she was pretty violent back then, and there were also unconfirmed rumors that she had matched the combination of Takeda and Tokugawa in strength all alone recently!

If this rumor were really true, it would place her strength just below Lord Kamakura, so he would have nowhere to seek justice even if he got beat up by her right now as strength was almost equal to status in the East.

He had also heard that she had severe violent tendencies2!

The inspectors legs began to wobble so much that they almost failed his obese body, Ka, no, so it was you, Lady Lyn-hime hahaha its a misunderstanding, I tell you, a misunderstanding. I was just admonis.h.i.+ng this useless sword instructor and didnt know that you were here, Lady Lyn-hime. I wonder what command you have?

Lily was clearly decades younger than him and of an inferior rank, but the inspector still treated Lily quite politely as he was terrified of her and didnt want to become the second Nagasaki.

Lily curled her hair behind her ear gently, Lord Inspector, so youre telling me that you were admonis.h.i.+ng my sword instructor just now?

Eh?! The inspector felt a s.h.i.+ver pa.s.s through him. Lily had become pretty strong and stood at the apex of the East in terms of strength, so even he had long forgotten that Lily was connected to this dojo and only remembered it just now. As such, he waved his hands anxiously and tried to make up an excuse, N-No, its all a misunderstanding! I was just joking with Instructor Sakiko!3

Joking? Lilys gaze turned cold, So, you subjected my instructor to this kind of public humiliation all for a joke?

The powerful aura coming off from Lily made the inspector kneel down immediately.

He kowtowed towards Sakiko hurriedly, Instructor Sakiko, Ive really offended you and feel extremely apologetic for it! Please forgive me for the offense!

Sakikos eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the desperate inspector. Her strength was actually much higher than the inspectors, but she couldnt go against him. However, it wasnt the same for Lily as she gave no regard for the consequences no matter how severe the incident was, and oppressive officials like this inspector were actually most terrified of running across unreasonable people like her.

About disbanding the dojo Sakiko began.

I said that in a fit of anger! Just treat it as if I havent said it!

Hmph! That better be right, Lily stepped forth and came in front of the inspector.

The inspector also wore a significantly relieved smile, Hehe. Lady Lyn-hime, didnt I say it was all just a misunder

Bam! Lily lifted her foot and sent the inspector flying immediately with a kick, making him arc over the wall of disciples and roll across the floor like a meatball before cras.h.i.+ng through the dojos hall, leaving a hole behind on it.

Sakiko and the disciples were left stunned.

The inspectors eyes rolled back, and his mouth frothed as he reached his last gasp, W-Why did you still hit me

The kick was for disrespecting Lord Minamoto no Yos.h.i.+tsune openly, Lily stated icily.

Ah

As I thought, this woman is really unpredictable and even highly violent on top of that.

The inspector lost consciousness after having such thoughts.

Meanwhile, Lily helped Sakiko stand up, Instructor, why is the dojo allowing someone like this to lord over it?

The dojo has fallen apart ever since the excursion incident and the Tokugawa factions withdrawal post their injuries, its no longer the same as before. The current situation is pretty messy on top of that, and everything is under the inspectors control, even the wages which havent been given out in a good while. The disciples havent even received magatama these past two months.

Lily felt ashamed as the dojo had brought glory to her yet had to some extent declined because of her.

Instructor Sakiko, theres still one match left in the compet.i.tion with the Taira clans dojo, right? Lily asked while holding Sakikos hand.

Yes. Unfortunate as it is, weve lost 7 matches in a row, and I fear itll be difficult for our teams captain, Kondo, to prevail over their vanguard, Takada Oka, whos the second strongest in their dojo, Sakiko shook her head powerlessly, An 8-0 outcome, the inspectors fury is quite justifiable.

It absolutely wont end in an 8-0 outcome, Instructor Sakiko, Lily chuckled.

But huh? Sakikos eyes lit up as she looked at Lily.

On the next day, samurai from the Taira clan, Minamoto clan and other samurai clans of the East had all convened at the drum-lined arena constructed over the open s.p.a.ce at the trijunction before the Kamakura Mansion in order to spectate the final match of the compet.i.tion.

The samurai leaders, such as Taira no Kagemori, As.h.i.+kaga Makoto and the like, oversaw the arena ahead of them while sitting on an elevated platform with the flags of the various families hoisted all around them.

The drums boomed as the fierce-looking, tall and muscular Takada Oka climbed onto the arena with a wooden sword in hand.

The other seven partic.i.p.ating students from the Taira clans Eastern Main Dojo were lined up in a row underneath the arena in high spirits.

How come the boy from the Genji hasnt dared to come yet? Ill make Kondo, that pretty boy, kneel and beg for forgiveness today! Takada Oka shouted after climbing the arena.

Here comes the captain of the Genji Dojo! The samurai in-charge of the announcements yelled out along with the drumming sounds.

Takada Oka turned around with a grin, yet he ended up seeing a red-dressed woman climb onto the arena with a wooden katana in hand.

How come theyve sent a s.e.xy woman instead of Genji Dojos Kondo? Do they intend to compete with me or appeal to me? Hahahahahahaha! Takada Oka broke into loud laughter with his arms akimbo after seeing Lily.

However, the crowd quietened down gradually and the people who jeered along with him in the past wore solemn expressions now after whispering into each others ear.

Taira no Kagemori also called out to As.h.i.+kaga Makoto upon seeing this development, Madam As.h.i.+kaga, this is

We arent cheating as shes really a disciple of my Genjis Eastern Main Dojo. Furthermore, she has the shortest duration of student experience among all the other compet.i.tors, As.h.i.+kaga Makoto chuckled.

Taira no Kagemoris expression turned unsightly in the next moment.

Lily slighted Takada Oka and looked towards the seven Taira clan compet.i.tors below while flinging her hair back, Why dont you come at me all at once? My time is quite limited.

What?! A-Are you sane, woman? Did the Genji Dojo really send you as the captain? I wont forgive you if youre here to stir up trouble intentionally! Takada Oka stepped forth and raised his hand up in an attempt to intimidate her with a slap to the face.

However, the drums began drumming again once the compet.i.tions presider and the staff below confirmed the facts, I request the two sides to retreat from each other as the match between Taira clan Dojos vanguard, Takada Oka, and Genji Dojos captain, Kagami Lily, will begin now.

What?!

Takada Okas expression petrified when he heard Kagami Lilys name4.

Later in the morning, As.h.i.+kaga Makoto, Sakiko and Lily had tea and snacks together in the Genji Dojos water pavilion where Lily used to reside in the past.

Makoto intended to invite Lily to the As.h.i.+kaga Hall, but Lily insisted on seeing the pavilion where she used to train within the dojo.

Hehe, Even someone as mature as Sakiko was unable to hold her laughter back, The expressions of Taira clans eight disciples were really wonderful when they heard Lilys name.

Who wouldve thought that they would actually concede all the matches when it was an eight versus one situation, As.h.i.+kaga Makoko also smiled.

You cant blame them for it. Lily is someone who was able to match Lord Tokugawa s.h.i.+gemori and Lord Takeda Tsunen.o.bus strength all alone, so even those reckless disciples wouldnt dare to compete with her, Sakiko stated.

As.h.i.+kaga Makoko looked at Lily, Its really quite incredible. I wonder what exactly you eat to have become so well-developed, Lily?

Eh?! Lily blushed after noticing that Makotos eyes were fixed on her bosom.

Hehe. I hope you dont take it the wrong way. I was just wondering what fortunes youve had to experience such rapid growth?

All samurai have their secrets, so you neednt explain it, Lily. To be honest, the stronger you are, the happier we feel for you, Sakiko stated while patting Lilys thigh.

However, Sakiko became despondent again in the next moment, Unfortunate as it is, even though Lily was able to become the voice of the dojo today, Im afraid that itll be hard to keep the Genji Dojo running in such chaotic times.

Instructor Sakiko, if youre willing to, why not come to my Sakura Blossom Valley? Sakura Blossom Valley? Yes

Makoto and Sakiko werent outsiders. Thus, even though Lily hid the matter of the ore vein from them, she told them that she had found a picturesque and secluded valley for herself.

Even Makoto felt tempted after hearing the details.

Im willing, Sakiko stated, If we look at the members of the Easts Genji, the people who still respect Lord Kurou in these times are really few now. On the other hand, youve never forgotten your roots even now, Lily. Im really quite disappointed with the current state of the world, so why wouldnt I be willing to move into such a secluded valley? You have to provide me with wages though, Lily!

Hehe. Ill naturally hire you in good faith, Instructor.

Madam Makoto, Instructor Sakiko, I plan to journey out soon and leave for Kansai, Lily stated solemnly.

Lily, youre no longer the rising talent of the past and have enough strength now, so I dont plan to stop you from proceeding with a decision that you mustve taken after careful deliberation. However, you still need to maintain utmost caution even as you are now since the slightest negligence might land you in unthinkable danger on the journey to Kansai.

Lilys gaze turned sterner as she gave a firm nod.

I know the journey to Kansai is rife with unknown dangers, but Ive been preparing for this journey since a long time ago. I also learned that Sister Uesugi has long left for Kansai, so I have no choice but to go regardless of the dangers.

As.h.i.+kaga Makoto showed a somewhat reluctant expression to Lily, but she still nodded in the end.

By the way, Kiyos.h.i.+ advanced troops towards Owari recently, so you need to be more careful if you plan to pa.s.s through the frontline, Lily. If you run into his forces, help me pa.s.s these words onto him, that its best to quit while one is ahead lest curiosity kills the cat. Its not like I havent reminded him of this, but my words had no effect on that hot-blooded youth. I hope he would at least be willing to listen to you.

Eh? Lily failed to understand why Madam As.h.i.+kaga thought that Kiyos.h.i.+ would listen to her, but she still affirmed.

The skilled Sakiko entrusted her resignation letter to Madam As.h.i.+kaga so that its pa.s.sed onto the officials in the imperial palace and bid her farewell before she began packing her travel luggage. She then left for Sakura Blossom Valley along with Lily at night on horseback. As for her other belongings, she arranged for them to be delivered to Takes.h.i.+ta Town and planned to have the Saionjis caravan deliver it to her later on.
