A comic book, but a librarian

Inudo Ranko agreed, nodded, and ignored Uesugi Sumiko's actions.

Uesugi Sumiko lay back on the bed in the hotel very smoothly. There were a few small stones in his bag. He was very interested in finding out whether Tamamonomae was sealed in the stone or her body turned into stone. However, this research topic was not as important as the leap year.

"Well, there are not only three treasure houses in the basement of Silent Bookstore, but also altars used to worship the three Sichen. That's right, this damn place is full of secrets. Is there anything else you don't know about me?"

Uesugi Cheng looked at the downward stairs that were gradually being cleared in distress. Although this staircase and the well next to it both led underground, their final destinations were completely different.

But no matter what the difference is, Uesugi Cheng just feels like he is an innocent person who has done nothing wrong, but he knows the secret that he shouldn't know.

[Underground Mother]: This is the holy place of the Triple Knot Sisterhood. The hours they worship are no longer worshipped, but they have not disappeared, and they are not even asleep. I cannot enter this place without offering enough tribute. (To unlock, you need to offer 4 winters, 4 honeys, 4 moths, or 4 auras)

This condition was not difficult for Uesugi Cheng. He could even go back to the storage room and take out the Solomon preparation he had prepared for himself and offer it to the three Si Chens.

But Uesugi Cheng did not have this idea now. No matter whether it was the Double-Horned Axe, the Ring Shirt or the Red Cup, they were not simple Si Chen. Before officially getting involved with them, Uesugi Cheng felt that it was very necessary for him to ask his superiors for their opinions, even if it was just for show.

So he just temporarily sealed up the room where the three altars were built and would see what to do with it when the time came.

"Compared to this, it's better to prepare for the start of school first."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes. Even though it was almost dawn, it was always good to get a little more sleep.

Chapter 428 [Time Keyboard]

As usual, the Daytime Foundry did not respond to his inquiries. Perhaps in the eyes of this old lady, Uesugi Cheng's asking such a stupid question was too much for her to bother with, so she simply didn't bother to respond. After all, Uesugi Cheng was now the manager of Silent Bookstore and the de facto owner. If he really wanted to do something, even if it was burning books, no one would be able to blame him.

"No one from Xindan, Canyang, or Zhulu responded to me. The colonel didn't seem to want to talk to me. As for the other Sichen... forget it, I won't ask."

Uesugi Cheng wiped the sweat from his face. Arranging the altar was a physical job for him, especially since he had to arrange them one by one. The scope of each Si Chen and the materials required were different.

"Then let's clean up the underground first, so that we won't be regarded as lazy people in the end."

Uesugi Cheng yawned, stood in front of the door leading to the underground, and offered a portion of Solomon's preparation as required by the ritual.

The long-sealed underground altar did not have any bad smell, and even had a hint of honey. Uesugi Cheng first saw three murals depicting Si Chen's face with their respective sacrificial supplies placed on them. This seemed to be what the Triple Sisterhood revered for them. Then there was the altar built in the corner.

[Knot Altar (Jungle Studies Workbench)]: History is woven; every knot is a witness.

There are still some things hidden in this altar, Uesugi Cheng's intuition tells him so, but he does not have the ability yet, or has not found the corresponding knowledge to open this secret storage point.

However, this is not a big deal for Uesugi Cheng. After all, he is only here to maintain the altar, not to look for anything. Besides, maybe one day Akagi or Double-horned Axe will be in a good mood and send him something. Although the probability is very small, it is not completely zero.

"Besides, I should be able to make that thing now. Let's try it later. Although I won't be able to use it normally, it will definitely be no problem to have it on hand."

Uesugi Cheng rubbed his neck. [Lock Spring and Clockwork] not only taught him how to make the Ys Bell, but also many ways to repair various machines and a method to make a special tool, which was enough for him to become a hidden assassin.

【Chronograph】: a music box that can only be played once; a typewriter that can only send one message; a clock that can only tell the time now. (6 Revelation 3 Winter 3 Cast 3 Dome)

Although it sounds like a riddle and a bit funny, it is actually a time bomb without gunpowder. Yes, it can be set to explode at any time as long as Uesugi Cheng wants. Even if there is no gunpowder inside, it can still explode with unimaginable power.

"It's a little difficult to use it to assassinate those who are well protected, but if I disguise the shell, maybe they will fall for it. It's also a good choice. However, it has nothing to do with me now. At worst, I can prepare two more as sexual enhancements and let my assistant help me clean up the room."

Uesugi Cheng put down the Gewei alloy. He did not plan to make this dangerous product immediately. After all, school would start soon, and he should take some time to copy homework.

"Stop talking, brother. Let's get some rest. We've already finished what we need to do. We can start sharing what we need in a couple of days. Right now, I think it's better for us to just go to bed."

Hikigaya Hachiman rubbed his eyes and silently put down his pen. Although there was still some time before school started, he already felt the pressure. Hiratsuka Shizuka once said that she would make every student who could not hand in homework feel the pressure. Even if she didn't need to do it herself, Hikigaya Hachiman already felt it.

"Compared to this, I will teach you something more dangerous and uncomfortable later, but it will also be more effective. You are not required to learn this. If you want to become stronger quickly, I can teach you. It is quite dangerous, so consider it yourself."

Uesugi Sumire left a text message for Hikigaya Hachiman, then fell asleep and slept until the afternoon of that day.

When Uesugi Cheng got up, the sun was about to set. He slept from dawn to dusk. He stretched lazily as he watched the sun setting, feeling that this life was indeed comfortable. He just didn't know how other people were doing.

"Oh, it's finally done, Xiao Mu... drive and take me back."

Feng Haijun rubbed his extremely sore shoulders, yawned, and called Kogure Soichiro who also looked a little tired. The two of them were probably on the local blacklist now.

This case was indeed too sensational. The three heads were hung there in a row, looking at the people coming and going. Although they didn't like Feng Hai Junye very much, they had to admit that if it was not him who discovered it but a passerby, the public opinion would be so bad that they dared not even imagine it.

"We have to call Uesugi-san and explain this to him. If it weren't for him, we would have to waste a few more days wandering around here."

Although no one was notified, Jun'ye Fukai's intuition told him that the matter was over, and the murderer no longer existed somewhere unknown to him. Based on what he had observed, the possibility that the murderer was human was very low, so he didn't really want to let these colleagues who had no knowledge conduct an in-depth investigation, after all, human life was at stake.

"But it looks like they have resolved the matter, so I can get some good sleep now."

Looking at the energetic Kogure, Feng Haijun could only cover his head with his clothes and then lie on the back seat to catch up on his sleep. God knows what he will see when he returns to the Metropolitan Police Department, so he will try to sleep as long as possible now.

……

"You still know how to come back? Where did you go?"

Uesugi Cheng felt as if his forehead had started to sweat. He had never expected that Uesugi Saki's first reaction when she found out that he was not at home was not to call him, but to squat here and wait for him to come back and question him face to face.

"I went out to play and helped out. When will you be back, sister?"

The more such things happen, the more confident you have to be. Otherwise, it will be easy to be exposed. This is also one of the skills that Uesugi Cheng has learned.

"This morning, the matter is over. I, your sister, took the lion's share of the credit. Maybe I can climb up the ladder. But let's not talk about that now. What do you want to eat tonight? It's my treat."

Uesugi Saki leaned back in her chair and looked like she was about to collapse. She was also very tired.

Chapter 429: Study Session.

"Good question. I don't know why my family always asks where to eat every time we meet, but this question is indeed very important."

Uesugi Saki rolled her eyes at Uesugi Saki's words. She changed her posture and lay on the sofa, holding the remote control and changing the channel weakly.

"Don't say so much. Your sister has money to treat you to a meal now. Hurry up and decide where to go so that I can reserve a table."

Uesugi Saki looked like she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep in the next second. Although her voice was still full of energy, her movements seemed as if she was about to close her eyes in the next second.

"You should take a rest. You are still working overtime during the New Year. If you are exhausted, just close your eyes. I will take care of what to eat in the evening. Don't worry about it."

Uesugi Sumire patted Uesugi Saki's head and gently rubbed her hair. Soon, the sound of her even breathing reached Uesugi Sumire's ears, and she fell asleep immediately.

"You're so sleepy and you still have to wait for me to go home... Well, let me take you to bed first."

Uesugi Cheng picked up his sister and put her in the guest room and covered her with a quilt. If she slept without a quilt in this weather, she would definitely catch a cold when she woke up.

"As for eating, I'll take care of it myself."

There is actually a cookbook in the kitchen of Silent Bookstore, which describes in detail the cooking methods and raw materials of many dishes, but these are not suitable as everyday dishes, just like few people would use "Ys Wall" as an everyday meal.

"Why are all the dishes served at the banquet? Don't you have to prepare daily meals in your kitchen?"

Uesugi Cheng put down the recipe speechlessly, and finally went to the supermarket to pick out two potatoes and some other ingredients.

"Mashed potatoes and chicken soup, and what to serve with that?"

Uesugi Cheng was not used to cooking. If he encountered mealtime in the noon world, he would occasionally go to Brancog Village to eat, or go to the only hotel and bar in the town, "Sweet Bones", to spend some money to eat some seasonal delicacies. After all, if he cooked for himself, he would only cook the same few dishes.

He sat next to the stove, staring at the blue flame that burst out after the gas was lit, and began to daydream, thinking about everything from tonight's menu to tomorrow's activities to what he should do after school starts.

He still had to do the cooking himself. It was okay to let Himegami Sakura help check the heat, but if he let her, a puppet girl with no sense of taste, take charge of the cooking, Uesugi Cheng didn't dare to imagine what the food would taste like in the evening.

"Ah, it's really wonderful to be able to sit here so leisurely at this time of winter. It's a pity that I don't know how much time like this I will have to waste in the future."

Uesugi Cheng listened to the change in the sound inside the pot, and finally ended his aimless thoughts. Then he found that the colors of the entire kitchen had become a mess, with red and blue walls, an orange refrigerator, and a green stove...

"Ah, have you been too distracted lately? You've let the power of the Great Art overflow unconsciously."

Uesugi Cheng sighed. After [Scenery and Color] reached its peak, certain abilities and techniques had almost become part of his instinctive reactions. It was as if this time, after he lost his focus for a while, he realized that the colors around him had been repeatedly painted by him.

Uesugi Cheng planned to make himself some more blue crown flower tea to calm his mood, or drink more Solomon's preparation. Although Solomon clearly said not to drink too much when making this preparation, who cares? Anyway, the amount he takes at one time will probably not exceed what Solomon called the "dangerous amount".

"Wake up and eat, stop being a big shot!!"

Uesugi Cheng shouted into the guest room without hesitation, and then heard a rustling sound coming from inside.

"Ah, you said I should treat you to a meal, why are you cooking by yourself again? Just trust me a little."

Although she said this, Uesugi Saki picked up the spoon and scooped the mashed potatoes at a fast speed.

"No, I'm a little tired of eating out. Try the mashed potatoes I made today. If that doesn't work, I'll cook some curry. Fill your stomach first. You can eat out anytime."

Uesugi Cheng put another serving of curry rice on the table, and then began to enjoy his dinner slowly.

To be honest, he always felt that the atmosphere was a little bit off. The two people sitting here didn't look like siblings at all. Uesugi Sumiya even felt that he had become a nanny.

"Well, that's good. My brother made it very delicious."

Before Uesugi Saki could say a few more words, her cell phone rang. At that moment, Uesugi Saki truly felt the presence of murderous intent. Uesugi Saki still had a smile on her face, but her trembling arms and the spoon that was innocent but tightly grasped said it all.

"Sorry, bro. I have to answer a phone call."

The back of Uesugi Saki as she walked towards the balcony with her cell phone in hand looked like she was ready to kill someone, so Uesugi Sumire lowered his head silently.

After a few minutes, Uesugi Saki came back looking somewhat helpless.

"Sorry, bro. I have to go out right now. I'll talk to you later..."

Uesugi Saki didn't dare to look up at her younger brother. It was obvious that he was the one taking care of and accommodating her, but she didn't even have time to finish a meal with him.

"Go ahead. I'll wait for you."

Uesugi Cheng smiled and clapped his hands to attract Uesugi Saki's attention.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Ah."

……

"Ha, I feel like my wrist is broken, and my fingers are not very obedient. To be honest, I now understand what kind of monsters those guys who can finish all their homework on the last night are."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Saria and several people from Super Self-Research sat around the table and took out their homework. Hikigaya Hachiman's dark circles were so dark that people felt he might fall down at any time.

"It's okay. If I follow the usual routine, these few days won't be too busy."

Saki Kawasaki seemed to be well prepared, so she just looked a little tired.

"Personally, I would probably agree with Kawasaki-san, but my situation is probably not much better than Hikigaya's."

Yukinoshita Yukino also looked half-dead, with a small waist bag on her waist, which was her achievement.

"Why is it bacteria again? Never mind... Let's finish our homework first."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yukinoshita Yukino helplessly. He just wanted to finish his homework first so as to avoid having to confront Hiratsuka Shizuka on the first day of school.

"Then let's get started quickly. We still have three or four days, and it shouldn't be a problem if we finish copying it."

As Uesugi Sumire said this, he picked up the copy written by Hikigaya Hachiman and began to copy and paste manually.

Chapter 430 Secret [Right of Access to Wounds]

"This is the bullet I made. I wonder what level it is to you?"

Yukinoshita Yukino took out the crystal clear bullet from her bag. In the sunlight, it looked like a bullet artwork. Even the transparent bullet head was refracting the sunlight. This bullet looked like a work of art rather than a consumable.

"Because of the special properties of the raw materials you provided, this bullet cannot be fired in a normal way. It can only be fired through the technique on the specially modified gun."

Yukinoshita Yukino continued to introduce that she really couldn't imagine how a bullet without gunpowder could be fired, so she simply used some mystical techniques.

"That's pretty good. At least you've made perfect use of its original properties. You didn't just make it into a bullet and cover up its original effect."

Uesugi Cheng touched the bullet. Its shell even felt like glass. If an outsider who didn't know the truth touched it, he would definitely think it was a toy. Of course, this was also fine. No one would think that this toy was a weapon that could kill people.

"As for the effect, I have tried it. This bullet can penetrate ordinary protection and directly make a hole in the flesh, causing destructive wounds. It can also be used to open locks. According to the idea given by Hikigaya, it can be used to destroy most physical locks, but we are powerless against the combination locks."

Yukinoshita Yukino looks like a student waiting for the teacher to mark her paper, or like Party A introducing the product to Party B. It has to be said that she really put a lot of effort into this matter, and even wrote her homework in a hurry.

"This is great. How does it feel to make something yourself? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

"To be honest, I don't feel it's real, but I do understand why you say you must find an assistant. I have to say that having someone to help you does make things easier, especially in areas that you're not familiar with."

"That's true. It seems you have learned the beginnings of glass blowing. I'll teach you other great skills later. Make the glass container first. But you are quite proficient in the ratio of fuel and fireworks. Are you planning to develop in that direction?"

"No, you have to learn everything. Only by learning can you find out what you are best suited for and how to develop."

Yukinoshita Yukino rubbed her brows. She can now work as a fireworks maker and a craftsman. She thinks she is as good as most skilled workers in making glass products. However, when it comes to Uesugi Cheng, she is just at the entry level.

"Then continue studying. There is still more than a year before you go to college, and you can continue studying after you go to college. Anyway, we signed a long-term contract, so there is no need to rush."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded. She was indeed a little too hasty. She had not had any conflicts with her family yet. Even if she was not used to it, family was family after all. What she was doing now was just planning for the worst case scenario she had anticipated, not preparing to run away from home immediately.

"That's it, I will slowly study the information you gave me. I hope my test scores won't drop too much after school starts."
