The expression on Sazanoko's face changed as well.
Sazanoko's willow eyebrows knitted together, a tint of displeasure appearing on her face.
Suddenly, a surprised cry came from not far away:
"Eh, isn't that Brother Tadomaru? What are you doing here?"
Chiba Shigetarou, holding a roasted squid in each hand likely bought from a nearby vendor, cast a bewildered glance at the handsome young man, while forcefully squeezing through the "human wall" blocking his path.
The "human wall" in front of Chiba Shigetarou was thin, so he quickly broke through all "obstacles" and came to Sazanoko's side.
"Brother Shigetarou." The handsome young man said in a deep voice, "I came specifically to advise you both."
"Advise us?" Chiba Shigetarou's eyebrow twitched.
"Playing the tedious 'Battle Game' with the Shiwei Hall, a third-class Sword Dojo with few apprentices and generally poor swordsmanship skills... it's a complete waste of time."
