"Hmm? Mr. Chiba?"
In the next instant after hearing this sharp voice... Chiba Shigetarou's expression slightly changed and he halted his steps, turning his head toward the owner of the sharp voice.
The owner of this sharp voice was a young samurai, very youthful and quite handsome.
He was bursting with an enthusiastic smile that nearly reached his ears, sprinting three steps in two to reach Chiba Shigetarou.
"Mr. Chiba, what a coincidence! To meet you here!"
"Mr. Niitsuma." Chiba Shigetarou responded in an indifferent tone, "Why are you here?"
The young samurai chuckled, then softly said, "I am here to prepare for tomorrow's Aizu Marquis swordsmanship competition."
Niitsuma Kan—the name of the young samurai.
If one closely followed the swordsmanship world of Edo, the name "Niitsuma Kan" would certainly not be unfamiliar.
After all, Niitsuma was one of the recently renowned "Three Heroes"!
At Xuanwu Hall teaching the Beichen One-Sword Style.
