A comic book, but a librarian

Chapter 411 The project begins.

"Sister, is she still struggling with those things? Or does she think I'm still struggling with those things?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.

Perhaps half a year ago she would have done something irrational in order to prove herself to her sister, but now she no longer has such thoughts. When the fireworks bloomed in the cold night sky, when she received her first salary, she had already become indifferent to these things.

Yukinoshita Yukino doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, she just needs to make the right choice for herself.

"But from this point of view, she didn't tell mom about me, which is a good thing. After all, it's still too early now."

Yukinoshita Yukino slowly took off her clothes, looked at herself in the mirror and sighed.

The time is still too short. If she could be given more time, she would be more confident and able to respond better.

She touched the places on her hands that were wrapped with Band-Aids and bandages. To be honest, one of the reasons why she wore gloves now was that she had countless wounds on her hands during practice and experiments. If the temperature hadn't been so low, it would have made sense to wear gloves. Yang Nai would have noticed her abnormality a long time ago.

"But sister actually noticed it so early. It seems that she really cares about me... But I'm sorry, sister, I probably won't develop in the direction you want."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her body in the mirror, especially the upper part. She always felt that everything about her body was good except that her chest was too flat. Even if she couldn't develop to the level of Yuigahama Yui, at least there should be some curve. In her current situation, she looks like a malnourished girl.

Then she changed her clothes, hid her hands in her wide sleeves, and went to the bathroom. She asked Saki Kawasaki for some potions. After using them tonight, the scars and wounds should fade quickly, and she would no longer be found to have any flaws or anything strange.

"It's not just about studying, there's also helper work to do."

Yukinoshita Yukino stepped into the bathtub filled with hot water and soaked her body in it.

She no longer cares about Yang Noi's provocation. In the past, even if she was rational enough, she would have thought "Why do you say such things?" when Yang Noi spoke to her in that tone. But now she only has pity for Yang Noi, pity for her wearing that mask that cannot be taken off.

"Everything will change, everything will transform, everything will be reborn."

Yukinoshita Yukino spoke these incomprehensible words as if she was praying. She silently disappeared in the water vapor and said no more.

……

"I have succeeded in suppressing the growth of my eye power. At least I have kept it within my acceptable range, so that I don't see anything I can't handle... I have also learned various spiritual power techniques and have made some progress. Although illumination techniques are much more difficult to understand than silencing techniques, with these eyes, it's not that troublesome."

Yotsuya Miko touched her notebook. Her talent was not as good as her other teammates, so she could only study hard.

The purpose of the Silence Technique was to get herself out of trouble, and the purpose of the Illumination Technique was to allow her to develop further. The Purification Technique in the Illumination Technique was her main area of ​​study now. After all, to deal with evil spirits, it was not enough to just appease them. She needed both the carrot and the stick to succeed.

"Mr. Cheng has been very busy lately. It's a holiday, but everyone is actually a little busier than when they were in school."

Yotsuya Miko silently opened the comic book. In fact, she hardly read comics at all, but she recognized it at a glance. It was Uesugi Sumiko's style of painting. Although he made a lot of modifications and concealments, Uesugi Sumiko had shown her several similar paintings before, so she was able to recognize it immediately.

"Acheng is still drawing comics, and it seems that everyone likes it very much."

Yotsuya Miko was reading the contents of the comic book and suddenly started laughing for some reason. She laughed so hard that she felt a little embarrassed.

……

Uesugi Sumire was lying on his bed, thinking about his life, or rather, thinking about what he was going to do next. A cup of steaming scented tea was placed on the bedside table, and one pen after another stood up by themselves to fill in the answers for him. It was a very suitable night for sleeping. The cold was isolated outside the quilt, and he lay inside the quilt. As long as he closed his eyes, he could fall into a sweet dream.

"Glass turns into metal? It is indeed a great technique, and it is really an unexpected method."

Uesugi Cheng looked at the small purple bottle placed on the bedside table together with the scented tea.

In fact, it should not be said that it is a purple bottle, because it is just the liquid inside that refracts its own purple light under the light.

[Amethyst Ampoule]: If the contents are poured out of the glass bottle, it will show a completely different color. (2 Hearts 2 Revelations)

Although it is hard to imagine, it is the main raw material used by Uesugi Cheng to make Gewei alloy.

"I hope Yukinoshita won't be scared by the big project. After all, I don't have time to find a second useful assistant."

Uesugi Sumiko sighed. The plan for the Ys Bell was already set in stone, and he had no intention of postponing it any further. Therefore, Yukinoshita Yukino was the most important part of his current plan. Without her, it would be very difficult to advance his plan.

……

"Is this what you mean, a helper? I don't think I'm capable of doing these things."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the drawings and various annotations in front of her and felt her brain beginning to ache again. This was not something a novice like her should be exposed to at all.

"Of course I'm not asking you to do it. I want you to help me process the parts and do some assembly. The raw materials are over there. If you need help with the casting table, just go and talk to the guy wearing the white safety helmet over there."

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned for a moment. This factory was full of evil spirits. She had never expected that this group of evil spirits had become so professional that they had begun to use the color of their hats to distinguish their duties.

However, she immediately started to join the work. Uesugi Cheng was right. Although she had no ability to do big projects, she was more than capable of doing some basic work. She also had no complaints. After all, she certainly could not find an opportunity to practice with almost unlimited supply of raw materials.

Chapter 412: Adequate Preparation.

"Come to think of it, your pistol is pretty crudely made. Did you encounter any problems? It's not good to hold a pistol that could explode at any time."

During the intermission, Uesugi Sumire sat down and poured a cup of tea for Yukinoshita Yukino. Even if it was a scaled-down version of the Ys Bell, the complexity of its parts and the difficulty of making it were far beyond ordinary objects. Yukinoshita Yukino rubbed her wrist and took a sip of the teacup without hesitation.

"Not enough time. I didn't know the principles and manufacturing methods of firearms before. To be honest, I only took it out during those few days as a test weapon for self-defense. But you suddenly said that there was a dangerous action to be taken. I thought about it and took it out directly... After all, if you ask me."

Yukinoshita Yukino paused and did not continue speaking. Instead, she planned to let Uesugi Sumire speak for herself. After all, what she wanted to say was really meaningless.

"I know that bullets are more troublesome than guns. That's true. The bullets you made are quite detailed. You also used your own abilities to extend the functionality of the bullets. They are much better than I imagined."

Without the gun, the bullets made by Yukinoshita Yukino using the fire stealing technique and the power of casting can still be used as explosives, but without bullets, the gun is really just a fire stick. It can't even be considered a fire stick. After all, the gun doesn't look like something that can be used as a projectile.

"Yeah, come to think of it... do you have any recipes for making special bullets? Exploding bullets alone may not be able to cope with many situations. I want to see if I can make a few more types of bullets just in case."

Yukinoshita Yukino did not mention the gun. After all, if she wanted to make a gun, she only needed time to polish the equipment she had according to the information on the Internet. However, bullets were different. How to mix the medicine and how to add special materials to make the bullets have different properties were areas she had no knowledge of at all.

"Try to make bullets with the liquid in the amethyst ampoule. This is also one of the test questions. Use the materials I gave you to make what you want. The other materials are all here, and I don't need to prepare anything extra. Just go ahead and do your best. But remember to bring out what I want on time this afternoon."

Uesugi Cheng did not reply to her directly. He did not need to make these bullets, so it was better for her to explore the formula herself. Moreover, if it really didn't work, Uesugi Cheng felt that even if he applied a little final ink on the surface of the bullet, the bullet would have a special effect. The only problem was that Uesugi Cheng felt that there was no need to go to such great lengths now.

"After all, it's a consumable. It would be a bit of a waste to make too many of them. After all, you can't use them every time."

Uesugi Sumire thought about it and decided to let Yukinoshita Yukino grow wildly. Anyway, he just needed to make sure the things got to him on time so that he could continue the project.

Uesugi Cheng still remembers the meaningful look of the "Crucible King". At that time, Uesugi Cheng thought it was the look of his immediate boss who was upset about him being on vacation and not going back to work. Now it seems that it was the look of someone who didn't know what to say about what Uesugi Cheng was about to do.

Yukinoshita Yukino's life is very fulfilling now. After all, Uesugi Sumire gave her tasks that were almost beyond her ability. If she hadn't seen that not only the evil spirits in the entire factory but even Uesugi Sumire himself was busy sweating, she would have suspected that Uesugi Sumire was torturing her.

"Raise the temperature a few degrees, and then separate the impurities from the solution as quickly as possible before cooling it down... The amethyst ampoule looks pretty nice."

Yukinoshita Yukino was playing with her small ampoule in her hand. The purple color under the sunlight was so charming. Yukinoshita Yukino understood why so many people were chasing after purple. It really was mysterious and had a wonderful beauty.

"Hmm, Uesugi actually needs so many of these refined materials. What on earth is he doing? And these delicate parts... Even if he wants to make some big explosives, he won't use these."

After thinking about it, Yukinoshita Yukino gave up thinking about Uesugi Sumika's purpose. Anyway, she was sure that she would not be able to figure out the other party's ultimate purpose. It would be better for her to think about the task left by Uesugi Sumika for her, that is, what can the liquid in this ampoule be used for.

……

"Well, it's better to equip a few people with some weapons. Even if they are not used to ward off evil spirits, it is still necessary to guard against some ungrateful guys and some unexpected events."

Uesugi Sumire thought about it and decided to do the same as Yukinoshita Yukino, buy a few imitation guns from the market, modify them slightly, and then make some standard bullets for them to use. They wouldn't need a lot, just enough for one magazine.

The production of the Ys Bell was much simpler than Uesugi Cheng had imagined. At least he was now able to slowly assemble the skeleton. However, according to the instructions of [Leap Year: Ys Bell], that was only the simplest step. The real difficulty, making the Ys Bell 'have the power to shock the world', was still far from coming.

There was an extra bullet in Uesugi Cheng's hand, which was engraved with fine lines. It looked more like a work of art than a bullet. Spots of light blue liquid seemed to be attached to it as if it had not yet dried. Uesugi Cheng smiled. The bullet was infused with the power obtained from praying to the setting sun and decorated with [Throat Blue]. Whether in this world or the noon world, he was probably the only one who could be so extravagant.

"I'll leave this bullet to you, Tai Sui... Don't let me down. I've prepared a lot of things for this battle. Even though you're just a spirit clone, please let me have some fun."

Uesugi Sumire showed a strange smile, and in an instant, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly trembled. She felt as if something terrible passed by her surroundings and then went away further away.

In a box, a long sword wrapped in bandages and leather seemed to be trembling slightly, trying to break through the wrapping, but in the end it gave up the idea. After all, it knew that its master had created it just to wait for the day when it would come into play, and that time was not far away.

"What did you say? A collector wants me to help him check if there is anything wrong with his collection? Mr. Ichijo, even if we have cooperated before, did you ask the wrong person for this commission?"

Uesugi Cheng answered the phone somewhat helplessly. The other party's request seemed a bit unrealistic to him.

Chapter 413: After-dinner activities.

Yuhei Ichijo, the current head of the Ichijo family, once found Uesugi Sumiya through the introduction of Kujo Masamune when he was desperate for medical treatment. He solved the evil spirit following his wife and kept mother and child safe.

He was well aware that talented people like Uesugi Sumire were the ones he needed to make friends with, so he always maintained a friendly attitude towards him.

"It's like this. My collector friend suspected that his collection was entangled by something, which led to a series of incidents, and even a situation where someone almost died."

Yuhei Ichijo explained that his collector friend has now begun to consider whether to throw away the collection he bought with great effort. After all, no matter how important the collection is, it is not as important as life.

"What's going on? Your friend's problems may not be related to the collection, but it's no problem for me to help him check it out. Give me the time and place, and I'll contact him to see what's going on with him first."

Uesugi Cheng thought about it and felt that this kind of thing would not take up much time. Moreover, he said that the person in front of him was a collector. Uesugi Cheng felt that perhaps he could find what he wanted in this collector's collection.

"But the other party didn't say that it must be handled, so you just do it as you see fit."

Yuhei Ichijo added this very considerately. He also knew that in the end it would all depend on Sugisumi's wishes to resolve the issue, so it would be better to say a few good words in advance.

As for the client, he had already told him that he would just find someone he thought could solve the problem and that he could not guarantee the results. The other party also agreed and seemed a little anxious, but also did not seem to care that much about the matter.

But it seems to be true. After all, the worst that can happen is just throwing away the thing... Thinking of this, Yuhei Ichijo thought of the statue of Guanyin again. If it weren't for Uesugi Sumika, he suspected that even if he threw away the statue of Guanyin, his family would be broken up in the end.

"Forget it, I'd better tell you. Don't let me do a favor and end up pleasing neither side. There will always be some people who are not in their right minds. I hope they won't show it."

Yuhei Ichijo sighed and told Uesugi Sumiya his address and name. The Matsumoto family did not tell him what went wrong, probably because they didn't want others to know.

……

"I am Sakura Matsumoto, and on behalf of the Matsumoto family, I welcome you. Mr. Uesugi... Mr. Jyo recommended you to us, and I hope you can solve this problem."

Matsumoto Sakura looked like a woman in her twenties. Uesugi Sumiko didn't pay much attention to her exquisite makeup and appearance, and asked.

"Where is the thing, what happened, and when did it start."

"It's like this. Mr. Ichijo must have told you that my father is a collector. Three months ago, my father bought a collection of crafts. Unexpectedly, strange things started to happen in the house. First, a servant said someone was watching him. Then a servant fell down the stairs while walking in a trance and was admitted to the hospital. Then, someone tried to hurt himself with a knife. Fortunately, the injury was not serious."

Sakura Matsumoto walked half a step in front of Uesugi Sumire and introduced the situation to him. There was still hesitation in her eyes. Uesugi Sumire looked too young, and everyone knew everything about the youngest son of the Uesugi family, even without special investigation. She really didn't know why that Ichijo asked Uesugi Sumire to come here.

"What my father collected was a demon sword that was said to be made by an ancient swordsmith. The sword has no name, but it is said that it turned into a bloodthirsty demon sword because it killed too many people. We have already looked for temples and shrines, but they all said they were powerless. They have no way to remove the resentment on the sword without destroying it, and my father just doesn't agree to destroy the sword."

Sakura Matsumoto said this with a bit of helplessness. If her father had not been so stubborn, this matter would have been resolved long ago. Anyway, the knife was not essential, nor was it a family heirloom, so it was not impossible to just throw it away.

"There's no point in throwing it away. If it's a grudge, it will continue to haunt you even if you throw it away. But its power is obviously not that strong, otherwise it would just be able to trick someone into picking it up."

Matsumoto Sakura was stunned by Uesugi Sumiya's words. She thought Uesugi Sumiya would say some clichés, but she didn't expect him to say what she thought right away.

"I also want to see where the knife is now. According to what you said, you should have locked up the knife. And if I'm right, although the temple and the shrine didn't help you solve the problem, they still provided you with some methods, such as how to temporarily suppress the power of the knife. But I think you should also know that the power of the knife is only reviving. Once it breaks through the suppression, I don't need to say anything more about what will happen."

Sakura Matsumoto sighed. Her father was so autocratic. The Matsumoto family prospered in his hands, but if he continued like this, problems would arise one day.

"It's right here. Please be careful. I've seen that knife. Just seeing it gives me a chill."

Sakura Matsumoto rubbed her eyes. She always felt something was strange when she looked at Uesugi Sumire. When Uesugi Sumire came in just now... was he carrying that one-shoulder guitar case?

"I know. Please close the door. After all, what is going to happen next is somewhat dangerous. Unless I knock on the door, don't open it no matter what."

Uesugi Cheng's words reminded Sakura Matsumoto of those ancient strange stories. If she opened the door in advance or was tricked into opening it...

Sakura Matsumoto didn't dare to think about it too much. She didn't want to become the protagonist of those stories, so she decided from the bottom of her heart to abide by Uesugi Sumiya's request, although she didn't think that Uesugi Sumiya could solve this problem immediately.

As the door closed, Uesugi Cheng saw clearly the box that was tightly locked with iron locks and talismans. A huge resentment was floating above the box, and countless voices were heard.

"Well, it feels good. Why don't you give it a try? After all, you seem to want to have a good fight every day."

Uesugi Cheng opened the guitar case, and the [Apostle of Destruction] trembled a few times as if cheering, and its power began to emerge unrestrainedly.

Almost at this time, the resentment attacked Uesugi Cheng like a wolf whose territory was invaded.

"I'll just let you guys have a good fight, that's what's more fun."

414

Chapter 414: Bullets and Guns.

Sakura Matsumoto had no idea what exactly happened in that room, or rather, she simply didn't want to know what happened in that quiet storage room. She knew very well that the less you knew, the happier you would be. Instead of exploring the secrets of a young master, she thought it would be better for her to think about what to eat tonight.

As for the situation where Uesugi Sumire couldn't come out, she had considered it, but no matter how she thought about it, if Uesugi Sumire really couldn't come out, she couldn't do anything, so it would be better to sit back and wait for the result. Anyway, they had signed a contract, and she couldn't do anything if the Uesugi family blamed her.

So when she heard the news that Uesugi Cheng walked out of the storage room, she simply changed her thinking from what to eat tonight to what to have for afternoon tea.

"It's not a big problem. The knife does have some issues, but they've been fixed. After all, it's just a knife. If there's no one to match it with, it's just useless."

Uesugi Sumiya's words were very casual. The big box behind him was somewhat conspicuous. Matsumoto Sakura would not think about what tricks Uesugi Sumiya was playing. In this situation, it was meaningless.

"meaning is?"

"It's solved. The knife won't cause any more problems. As long as you don't get blood on it, it won't make any trouble."

Uesugi Cheng yawned. The Apostle of Destruction's suppression of the nameless demon sword was almost comprehensive. The evil wolf condensed by the overflowing power alone was enough to make the sword's few remaining spiritual powers retreat and surrender.

Of course, the knife was still severely punished. After all, the Apostle of Destruction had no place to use its power since it was created. It finally found a place where it could release itself to its heart's content. It looked like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and began to release its power happily. If it weren't for Uesugi Cheng's request, perhaps a large number of people in the Matsumoto family would have died by now.
