He gazed calmly into Aoto's eyes.
"Mr. Tachibana, the Iaijutsu you used to break through my defense and shatter my porcelain bowl... Is that a move you created yourself? Does it have a name?"
"Hmm." Aoto nodded without hesitation, "I created it myself. As for the name... I haven't thought of one yet."
Aoto had promised Kiryu not to reveal his true identity as the famously renowned Ship-Slaying Sword Hero, Mamiya Kurō, to anyone.
Thus, Aoto could neither claim his Iaijutsu was learned from Kiryu nor disclose the move's name.
Most of those familiar with Mamiya Kurō knew that his signature technique was the Divine Speed Iaijutsu "Flowing Light," where the sound of the sword unsheathing was only heard after it struck its target.
Suddenly, Aoto realized: the frequency with which he activated his "Deceiver" recently seemed excessively high...
Seeing Aoto respond this way, Chiba Daisaburo ceased further inquiries.
