"This is the place?"
Cleo looked at the slightly dilapidated place of the Martial Redemption dojo and looked quite starry-eyed.
While some people might consider the place as rundown, she quite liked the cozy vibe of it, especially the stone yard with a cherry blossom tree at the corner.
It truly felt like a dojo.
To her, Ok Family Dojo was too big. It didn't feel homely. It never made her enjoy her time over there.
Ok Family Dojo had everything. Big dojo. Dozens of trainers. Hundreds of students. It made it feel more like a factory than a place of learning.
"It is."
Jock said, and then knocked hard on the iron gate.
A moment passed, and then, the gate opened, and with a smile on her face, Aoi stood there with a hose in one hand.
She was doing some gardening to take care of the cherry blossom tree so it wouldn't wither away and die.
"Oh, what a welcoming surprise~"
She said with a sweet smile.
"Miss Aoi."
