History Lesson 5

""kiku-ichimoji?""

"eh? kiku-ichimoji?"

when all of these middle school students said that including kiyotsugu was asking that question, kazuma-san became red face until his ears as he shouted at kiyotsugu about it.

"you! you!!!! YOU!!!! YOU OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS FAMED SWORD AND YET YOU ARGUED ABOUT OKITA SOUJI'S GENDER WHILE CLUELESS ABOUT THAT PERSON'S SWORD!!!!"

"eehhh!!!?? tsunemoto-sensei!!!! you're scary!!!!"

"SHUT UP THIS FUCKING CLUELESS STUDENT OF MINE!!!!!"

before the situation became uncontrollable once again, i move between them with a swift move as i try to calm down kazuma-san.

"Alright, alright kazuma-san, please calm down"

"RYOUMA-BOCHAMA!!! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T IGNORE!!! THIS IDIOT DID-"

"didn't know about the sword of okita souji, right? come on kazuma-san, slowly take your breaths. after all, these children don't know about okita souji in detail, right?"

"*inhale* fuuu *inhale* fuuu, yeah you're right, sorry about that, ryouma-bochama. i just lost my cool for a second there"

"yeah, and who do you think that gives you the permission to move around like that?"

"ugh!!! please ojii-chan, i jus-"

"no excuse, now come back to your position and sit in seiza and stack that slab to your thighs again or i am going to increase the slab"

"ugh!!! oyaji, help your son here!!!"

"did you think that i have the right to do that right now?"

"uwaah oyaji, you're lame"

"this idiot!!! i'm going to teach-*thud* itee!! what the hell are you doing, old man!!??"

"who the hell gave you permission to move, rihan!!!??? and we are not finished talking so after this mess is taken care, you are next"

"eh!!!?? bu-"

"no, but!!! you should know that my idiot grandson is never going out outside alone for a fucking 18 years and yet you give this idiot a reason for that are not qualified as a reason and you just let kuroutabo become his only escort when you know about that damn rat is betraying us. so, your punishment after this talk, alright?"

"*sigh* yeah, i know about that dad"

"fuu, good. now ryouma, do it or need one more slab?"

"yeah, yeah don't rush me, alright ojii-chan!?"

i come back to my last seat and place the goddamn slab of stone on my thighs before ojii-chan is nagging about it. everyone in this hall except my parent, grandfather, and rikuo is gobsmacked that i put those slab of stones to my thighs as i heard their voice.

"uwaa, aniki really stack that slab of stones back to his thighs"

"wow aniki, what a man!!!"

" *sigh* boy is such a stupid creature"

"ahahaha, don't say that saori-chan. still, to think that nii-san is stacking that slab of stones on his own thighs, what a dedication"

"fufufu yeah, that's right natsumi-chan. still mikoto-senpai and shokuhou-senpai, i am curious about your relationship with ryouma nii-san as you mentioned about a wife or lover for nii-san at school, i didn't find you surprised with this sakura in this area, and when we arrived at the front gate of this shrine, you almost recognized nii-san from afar for the first look. so, what is your relationship with nii-san? *kirarin*"

"well!!! if you wanted to know about it then i am going to tell you!!! i am hi-!!! mmfffmfffm!!!"

"shut up you idiot shokuhou!!! ah, i am sorry about that kana-chan. our relationship you could say that just a childhood friend just because of our parent knows each other"

"eh! how cliche!!! but i think that's also good in its own way!!!"

'mffm puhaa!!! what are you doing, mikoto!!??'

'you wanted to blow this clan's cover!!!??"

'ah!'

'be careful about that mouth of yours next time'

'well, thank you for that, hmph!!!'

*sigh*

"ano, nura-san"

"yeah?"

"what is it, keikain-san?"

"hm?"

"what, little girl?"

"uhmm, nura nii-san?"

"ah, me?"

"yep"

"*sigh* little girl, next time just use the given name of my grandson to call them. you don't want this to happen again, right?"

"i'm sorry about this, ojii-sama"

"ahahaha, it's okay, it's okay. still, what a polite young girl unlike those two that still bickering until now"

*whistle* *whistle*

" *sigh* well, never mind about that. so keikain-chan, just what do you want to ask ryouma about?"

"hmm, well i wanted to ask ryouma nii-san but i think it is appropriate to ask it to ojii-sama. ojii-sama, where do you get that kiku-ichimoji? is it stolen goods?"

"AHH!!! that's one question that i wanted to ask too!!! nurahiyon-sama, are you stole that katana!?"

"hmm, that one question that i can't answer"

"then as expected-"

"Listen to me until i finish. i can't answer that because that katana was ryouma's possession so he is the one that knows about that katana as for some reason he became happy when rihan men found it around sendagaya"

"of course!!! after all, this is kiku-ichimoji that okita souji used from her time as she was active at Shinsengumi!!! ah! yanagi-chan, can you grab the other things that are on my table work at my room?"

"etto ryouma-sama, all of it including that rag?"

"yanagi-chan, don't say that cloth as a rag. they are the historical clothes that are going to change this japan history upside down. also, yep all of it including my thesis that is going to be sent to Tokyo university this afternoon. oh yeah, can you ask kitchen staff about the extra meal as there are my guests that are hungry?"

"yes, ryouma-sama!!! also everyone, please excuse me"

after i order yanagi-chan to fetch another item that is going to support my theory about okita souji being woman, for some reason her face was red while looking at me intensely. i don't know the deal of yanagi-chan as she was always like that so i put that behind me as i tried to explain this famed katana to everyone in here.

"Everyone, do you know where was okita souji buried?"

"oh, me, me!!!"

"yes, kana-chan?"

"if i am not mistaken, okita souji buried at sensho-ji temple in Azabu, right nii-san?"

"*nod* *nod*yep, that's correct"

"yeah!!!"

"excuse me ryouma-bochama, but this and that is a different case altogether as what is the relation between azabu and that unknown kiku-ichimoji?"

"eh, unknown? what do you mean tsunemoto-sensei?"

"keikain-san and you lot too, listen carefully, alright? kiku-ichimoji is a collective name given to the katana made by the thirteen swordsmiths who were in attendance to Emperor Go-Toba in 1208. Each swordsmith was in attendance to the emperor for a month of the Japanese calendar. They further received permission to add the Imperial chrysanthemum emblem (Kiku no gomon) on the tang, leading to these swords being known collectively as "Kiku-ichimonji". because there are 13 katana that being named as kiku-ichimonji, we don't know the name of that katana as its authenticity is unknown too"

"wow kazuma-san, you have done your homework this time, huh?"

"please ryouma-bochama, you know that i am an avid katana lover as such i know about the term of kiku-ichimonji. but, that raised another question, out of 13 katana that as known as kiku-ichimoji, what the name of this katana, and can you give me the proof of that?"

"well, well so pushy huh. you can look at this katana for yourself!!! sore!!"

then i threw upward that katana toward kazuma-san as he became panicking to catch that katana. still, he catches that katana flawlessly that without knowing i click my tongue.

"ckk"

"oi!!!!! you just click your tongue, right ryouma-bochama!?"

"what are you talking about? just look at that the handle of that katana for your proof of that is kiku-ichimoji *whisper* i thought that kazuma-san are going to drop that katana so that i can charge him some gold *whisper*"

" *muki* *muki* ryouma-bochama, i'm going to remember this. *sigh* let's see.... w-w-w-wh-what!!!??? ki-ki-ki-kiku no GOMON!!!???? ry-ry-ryouma-bo-bo-bo-bochama!!!! is this for real!!??"

"yep, it is real for once. if you don't believe that, check the hilt of the blade"

"t-t-then!!! let me check this blade authentic for once!!"

"for your record, even with you sell your organ you still can't pay that katana full price, so you paid that with sell all of your asset including your organ or you are going to become our clan slave for the rest of your time"

"don't scare me!!!! ugh, now i am shaking!!! shit!!!"

*laugh**laugh*laugh*

"what's so funny, all three of you!!??"

"*wheeze* fufu, to think that he believes with my idiot grandson bluff!!! ahhahahahaha!! my stomach!!"

"kukukuku, kazuma-kun, you should know about my son is always prepare when he handles that kind of thing. and yet, you believe that blatant lie so easily!!!ahahahahaha!!!"

"*wheeze* *wheeze* kazuma-san, that katana is already restored to some extent so you can safely touch that without breaking it!!! hell, if you try to slash that to training dummy, that katana can slash without problem!!! aahhahahahwohohoho!!!"

"...."

after some good laugh from the three of us, kazuma-san suddenly stands up and draw the katana from her scabbard. he try to swing that katana over and over. after he swings that katana one more time, i have a bad feeling about this as he begins to run toward my place while he makes an overhead stance as he begins to swing that katana to me!!! of course, i catch that katana with my hands over my head as the fucking tip of the blade almost slice the center of my eyes!!!

so with a cold sweat, i begin to ask kazuma-san action.

"kazuma-san, what the hell are you doing?"

"well ryouma-bochama, are your blood red? if your blood is another color then it is DIVINE PUNISHMENT!!!!!"

"what the hell with that fucking witch trial!!!?? are you fucking stupid!!???"

"then die!!!"

"hiiii!!!!"

*laugh**laugh*

"oi!!! oyaji and ojii-chan!!! help me!!!"

"hahaha, of course, no!!!!"

"hahaha, that's my son, it is serve you right!!! ahahah"

"fuck!!! i'm going to remember this!!!"

after i escape this predicament, those two are going to pay as they didn't help me!!!

i'm going to remember this!!!!

'oi, he is not your nii-san'

'ara~ are you jealous, washboard youkai?'

'you are dead!!! rotten brain cow!!!'

'uwaa, nii-san can catch that katana with ease'

'i don't know to be impressed with nii-san bravery or his idiotic to try prank tsunemoto-sensei like that'

'ah-ahahaha, that's true'

'wow keikain-san, you are so knowledgeable about this, huu!! can you teach me about it!?"

'well, if kana-san asks about it. then sure, i don't mind'

'yeah!!!'

'na rikuo, did you think that when you can do that you can make girl impresses with you?'

'don't try that, jiro. or you wanted to meet with your ancestor early?'

'well, now that i think about it. you are right'

'oi aotabo, can you try to grab kazuma-san as we don't have time for this idiotic?'

'huh, well i'm going'
