Tetchikawara Tetsuchin, Kanamori, and A-Da exclaimed at the same time.

Questions filled her mind.
Just how much is there about Su Chen that I still don't know?
Could he really be a sword-forging genius too, just as I said at the beginning?
While Shinobu Kocho was thinking, Tetchikawara Tetsuchin and the
