Chapter 156: The One And Only Master Craftsman, Historical Scrolls Of The Sengoku Period
The reward for winning the True Sword Match.
In other words, it’s a rough version of the ninja cultivation manual.
Generally, depending on individual aptitude, one can cultivate to about one-and-a-half star to two-and-a-half star.
Shangshan Che had been thinking about this matter, but he felt that Nanjo Emi likely had a lot on her plate these past two days, so it wouldn’t be too late to discuss it when they got back.
He hadn’t expected Nanjo Emi to have already made arrangements, truly maximizing efficiency.
“The illustrated version you requested is quite rare, so it will take five days to arrive.”
Illustrated version… Speaking of which, Shangshan Che also recalled there was a “complete version” further down the line, which should be the ninja cultivation manual on par with the Corona Breathing Technique.
So he asked, “When will the subsequent Tokyo Seed Battle likely begin? I’d like to prepare accordingly.”
“The seed battle?”
Nanjo Emi squinted and thought for a while, but couldn’t recall. Instead, she took out her mobile phone, opened the “Calendar” function, and scrolled through her densely packed to-do list.
Ten seconds later, she let out an “oh,”
“Because it’s still quite far off, the exact time hasn’t been set yet. At the earliest, it might be at the beginning of next month, or possibly at the end of the month, or even in July.”
Nanjo Emi spread her hands. “Several wards haven’t even confirmed their seeds yet… This is everyone’s average efficiency, Shangshan Jun, you have to understand.”
Shangshan Che stared at the calendar on her screen for a moment.
It was only when he saw the timeframe for the “First Wave” that he realized that only a little over half a month had passed since that day.
What could be accomplished in half a month? What could be cultivated?
Perhaps in some places, they hadn’t even discovered their own geniuses yet.
Therefore, scheduling the seed battle for half a month or even a month later was actually a rather reasonable arrangement.
Seeing Shangshan Che lean closer, Nanjo Emi flipped through the calendar and tapped on September 1st, saying,
“But regardless, it will definitely be completed and the participants selected before the Imperial Grand Competition.”
With that, Nanjo Emi seemed to be afraid of being questioned further and added, “As for more detailed information, don’t ask me for now, I can’t remember it well.”
“There are simply too many trivial matters going on lately. I’ll probably have to work overtime again when I get back.”
Nanjo Emi clasped her hands behind her back, puffed out her chest, and let out a sigh. “Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Shangshan Jun. You gave me two days of good rest during this True Sword Match. I slept soundly.”
Shangshan Che replied, “Thank you for your hard work, Sister Nanjo.”
“It’s nothing. This is just what I should be doing.”
Nanjo Emi shook her head.
“Whether it’s overtime or other work, it’s all my choice, so it doesn’t relate to ‘hard work.’ At most, it’s just a bit tiring.”
Shangshan Che clicked his tongue inwardly.
He found it hard to imagine that Nanjo Emi, who used to slack off whenever she could and frequented izakayas or fast-food restaurants for drinks almost every day, would say such a thing.
After a moment of contemplation, Shangshan Che asked, “Sister Nanjo, are the Shikigami I requested earlier still available?”
“I can take you there when we return to the Special Affairs Office today,” Nanjo Emi recalled the somewhat unappealing demons and monsters. “However, I can’t guarantee that there will be any Shikigami you’re satisfied with.”
“I anticipated that. It’s good enough that the Special Affairs Office can help me find them.”
The two walked towards the backstage resting room they had been in before.
Shizuma Manatsu followed behind them, her head lowered, constantly tapping on her phone screen, replying to work matters for her superior.
As for the Two-Foot Adult and Nure-onna, they trailed far behind, sticking close together and whispering about something.
Soon, the three people and three Shikigami arrived back at the entrance of the backstage resting room.
Shangshan Che paused as he looked at the crowded resting room, but suddenly felt a push from behind, shoving him inside.
Turning around, he saw Nanjo Emi gesturing with her chin: “Go on, everyone is waiting for you.”
Shangshan Che didn’t stand on ceremony and strode in, then, as expected, heard cheers from everyone.
“Shangshan Jun! You really won all the True Sword Matches!”
Hattori Ayako was the first to speak. She cheered, then patted her chest in relief. “I was almost worried you’d be on stage before…”
She didn’t finish, but smiled and pointed outside.
“They’re still discussing your three matches outside. I expect many people will want to interview you later.”
Akechi Yuya stood nearby and bowed slightly to him. “Senior Shangshan, I have benefited greatly from this True Sword Match! Thank you!”
The three burly agents in Special Affairs Office uniforms didn’t speak, but collectively gave him a thumbs-up with their white-gloved hands.
The three from the Obscure Moon Hall dojo, whom he had defeated earlier, sat together on a bench at the edge.
However, only Karatorishigure lowered his head, clenched his fist, and looked dejected.
The other two acted as if nothing had happened.
Akatsuki Ran, who had changed back into a baggy sweatshirt, wore a mask and had her hands in her pockets. She stared at Shangshan Che with her cold, dead fish eyes, appearing indifferent.
Kuzuha Chihaya was listlessly scrolling through her phone, and the sound of a well-known beauty blogger recommending affordable cosmetics could be heard from it.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Shangshan Che hadn’t even exchanged a few words with the people around him when his phone, which he had put in his pocket not long ago, began to vibrate again, as if a switch had been flipped.
When he took it out, he saw it was indeed another barrage of messages from Kitano Runa.
Unlocking it and opening LINE, he was met with a screen full of congratulatory and impressive anime-style emojis.
Scrolling further up revealed many encouraging emojis like “Go for it” and “Don’t give up,” likely sent for his recent matches.
But Shangshan Che mused that he couldn’t possibly take out his phone to look while fighting in the arena, so Student Kitano was truly an extreme case of social anxiety.
Shangshan Che thought for a moment, then replied with a thank you emoji.
He looked up again and saw Kitano Runa, hiding at the back of the crowd, discreetly raising both hands and giving him a thumbs-up.
She seemed afraid Shangshan Che wouldn’t see it, so she shook them again.
Shangshan Che smiled at her and replied with a few different thank you emojis in LINE.
However, Shangshan Che looked around again but didn’t see Lili Zi.
Just as he was about to ask, a reply from Kitano Runa popped up on his phone.
【 Never be a loser!: Lili Zi went back to the car alone. She seems to be researching something. 】
Oh, I see.
However, Kitano Runa’s ability to read the room is truly remarkable. Is this the legendary “socially anxious person who can read the air”?
Shangshan Che chatted with the others in the resting room for a few more minutes.
Then, Nanjo Emi signaled them all to leave, saying it was time to go.
“Won’t we be swarmed by the audience who want to interview us when we go out?” Hattori Ayako asked curiously.
“Don’t worry.”
At some point, Akatsuki Ran had already merged into their group.
More accurately, she was beside Shangshan Che.
She said indifferently, “Master will turn a blind eye and make it so they can’t see you. He’ll do this much to be a good host.”
“Then I should thank Dojo Master Jiujiu…”
As Shangshan Che was speaking, he suddenly turned his head and saw Akatsuki Ran staring intently at him. “Miss Akatsuki, why are you following us?”
He looked back but didn’t see the other two.
“Because I’m the least important in the dojo. I’m not as strong as my senior sister, nor can I communicate with crows like my junior brother, so Master sent me to be a liaison between both sides.”
Akatsuki Ran said nonchalantly, “Anyway, Senior Disciple Brother will be back soon. If I stay in Yokohama City, I won’t even get to cut down demons after dinner.”
“In that case,” her tone shifted slightly, with a hint of gentle persuasion, “it would be better to follow you, Shangshan Jun.”
Kitano Runa, following not far behind them, silently placed a large “M” tag above Akatsuki Ran’s head and told herself to play less with such strange people in the future.
Yes, and she should also warn Shangshan Jun to be careful of her.
…
Afterwards, Akatsuki Ran led everyone out of the underground area of Obscure Moon Hall, and indeed, without encountering anyone, they arrived in front of the van.
However, before getting into the car, Shangshan Che squinted at the three people already sitting inside and then looked back at the number of people that clearly exceeded the van’s normal load capacity.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Seriously, can so many people fit in the car?”
Shizuma Manatsu, already in the driver’s seat, rolled down the window and said, “The van has been nurtured by Shikigami for a long time. It’s fine even if we stuff people in like in India.”
Since she said so, Shangshan Che couldn’t refuse. After everyone had gotten in and found their seats, he picked up the Two-Foot Adult and asked,
“Where do you want to sit?”
The Two-Foot Adult replied without hesitation, “Sit with Little Ru.”
Shangshan Che was taken aback. How long had it been for her to already be on a first-name basis with the seemingly gloomy Nure-onna as “Little Ru”?
The Two-Foot Adult’s social skills, combined with her charm aura, seemed to have an effect beyond imagination.
“Then go ahead.”
The Two-Foot Adult ran to the back of the van and squeezed into the trunk.
As Shangshan Che squeezed into the car, he heard excited whispers from the back—
“Little Ru, want to play a game?”
“Ranked match, top-tier lobby, 60 people!”
“Let’s go!”
“Two-Foot, bring the phone!”
He saw Nure-onna quickly take the mobile phone from the Two-Foot Adult’s hand. Then, using her black hair to obscure the light, she sat thoughtfully in the middle of the aisle.
This perfectly blocked Nanjo Emi’s view of the back.
Shangshan Che immediately felt his heart strings being plucked and sensed the Two-Foot Adult’s enthusiastic praise.
He rolled his eyes backward.
—I know exactly what you guys are thinking!
With a slight roar from the van, Shizuma Manatsu started the engine and stepped on the accelerator.
“Ms. Akatsuki.”
Nanjo Emi’s voice came from the front. “Since you’re coming to the Special Affairs Office, you’ll naturally have to shoulder some corresponding light duties. Can you accept that?”
Akatsuki Ran replied, “As long as you don’t treat me like Superman, Great Officer Nanjo.”
Hearing this answer, Shizuma Manatsu, who was driving, remained impassive, but her heart was practically bursting with joy—it had been so many days, and finally, someone could share her workload!
The van slowly departed Yokohama City, heading towards Arakawa Ward, filled with laughter and joy.
…
“Congratulations.”
Hearing a familiar voice, Shangshan Che, who was about to open the panel prompt, realized Lili Zi was actually sitting next to him.
In fact, she had been curled up, tucked away in a corner behind the van’s seat.
Lili Zi had an old, cover-worn notebook on her lap. She had also just noticed Shangshan Che sitting in front of her, so she spoke directly.
Shangshan Che blinked and looked at the girl, who was frowning but completely oblivious. “If you’re researching, Lili Zi, I won’t disturb you further.”
“Mm.”
Lili Zi responded, “It’s something very important and complex. Although I can learn by following it, I haven’t understood much yet.”
Shangshan Che fell silent.
Their exchange was as efficient and brief as always.
Seeing Lili Zi lower her gaze again, Shangshan Che shifted his attention to the trade notification from Hundred-Eyed Demon, which he hadn’t responded to for a long time.
【 “Hundred-Eyed Demon” has sent you a trade request. 】
Shangshan Che opened the notification with his thought.
The next moment, the Edo Castle Gacha Pool suddenly opened.
The black-haired Hundred-Eyed Demon loli, who had long been impatient and even squatting on the ground, sorting through small pieces of trash, suddenly looked up and gave him a fierce expression.
The prompt popped up again.
【 Hundred-Eyed Demon’s Request: Hundred-Eyed Demon’s Single Eyeball ×2, Soul Ash ×1000 】
Two eyeballs, a thousand Soul Ash.
Shangshan Che thought she must have digested the previous three large eyeballs, so she was asking him again… A thousand Soul Ash wasn’t much.
He should see what she could give him first!
【 You can obtain: Hundred-Eyed Demon’s Strange Metal. 】
What a strange item name!
In the Gacha Pool, the Hundred-Eyed Demon loli took out the trade item she had prepared from the darkness beneath her skirt.
She opened her hand, showing Shangshan Che a small golden ball in her palm that was emitting a faint flow of light.
Shangshan Che squinted at the small golden ball—
【 Hundred-Eyed Demon’s Strange Metal （ Awaiting Identification ） 】
【 Quality: Epic 】
【 Effect: When forged with weapons or equipment, it will produce several unknown beneficial effects based on the current attributes of that weapon or equipment. 】
【 —Strange metal, completely unseen even by the long-lived Hundred-Eyed Demon, but its quality seems very high. 】
Epic grade forging material!
Shangshan Che’s spirits immediately lifted.
He meticulously scanned the prompt panel of the small metal ball several times and then unhesitatingly moved the eyeballs and Soul Ash from his Storage Bag to the trade slots.
—This was clearly a high-grade material that could further buff Kaga Kiyomitsu, so there was no need for hesitation.
Exchanging a thousand Soul Ash for an Epic grade material was a massive profit.
Normally, even spending fifteen hundred Soul Ash for a ten-pull would rarely yield an Epic item, let alone an Epic item that would be useful to him.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon loli seemed surprised by Shangshan Che’s decisiveness and paused for a moment before placing the small ball into the trade slot.
Then, she smiled in satisfaction, swallowed the two large eyeballs directly, and fell asleep on the spot.
【 You have obtained, Hundred-Eyed Demon’s Strange Metal （ Awaiting Identification ）! 】
Hiss…
Shangshan Che stared at the words “Awaiting Identification” at the back and suddenly fell into thought.
Not only had this material not been identified yet, but even if he could use the nonexistent Great Identification Art, he wouldn’t be able to combine it with Kaga Kiyomitsu.
Because Shangshan Che didn’t know how to forge!
The previously used Ashigaru spirits were also not utilized for this reason.
Moreover, the old blacksmith has long since disappeared, and the Zashiki Warashi has already embarked on her own journey.
If I want to find Katsumi, it seems I don’t have enough Soul Ash on me right now.
So—
“Sister Nanjo, does the Special Affairs Office have any craftsmen who can do forging?” Shangshan Che asked, “I want to imbue some spirits into my sword, and I also have a few items that need repairing.”
He was naturally referring to the Priest’s Robe and the Blood-Stained Chick Crown that were damaged by the lightning strike.
Shangshan Che heard Nanjo Emi sigh.
“If you have a question like this, Shangshan Jun, you wouldn’t need to ask it if you had just looked at the employee roster posted on the first floor when you joined the Special Affairs Office.”
Employee roster?
Shangshan Che scratched his head. He didn’t recall ever lingering on the first floor before, so he had never paid attention to such a thing.
Nanjo Emi: “If you need it, I can make an appointment for you right now.”
“Thank you, Sister Nanjo.”
Shangshan Che hesitated for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and asked Nanjo Emi.
【Moon Sand Sauce: Sister Nanjo, are there any craftsmen called “Master Craftsmen” at the Special Affairs Office? 】
Seeing the message pop up on her phone, Nanjo Emi’s fingers paused. After making the appointment for Shangshan Che, she was silent for a moment before replying.
【Nanjo Emi: Master Craftsmen are extremely rare. Sometimes not even one appears in an entire era. The Special Affairs Office naturally does not have one at the moment. 】
【Nanjo Emi: It’s said there’s one at the Onmyo-ryo, but I don’t know if they’re still alive. 】
【Nanjo Emi: However, ordinary spirit embedding and weapon repair are completely fine; even your sword is no problem. 】
【Moon Sand Sauce: I understand. 】
Shangshan Che put down his phone, finally understanding why the old blacksmith could casually sell a large number of Epic weapons and why the Zashiki Warashi had such dazzling equipment.
Master Craftsman, it turned out, was such a rare profession.
To encounter such a rare profession in the beginner village…
Several hours later.
The van first stopped in front of Shangshan Che’s house—because Lili Zi said she needed to go home and continue her quiet research.
As she got out, Lili Zi, whose eyes clearly showed signs of fatigue, said to him,
“Shangshan Jun, when you get back later, I have something to tell you about Breathing Technique cultivation.”
She thought for a moment and, unusually, emphasized,
“It’s important.”
Shangshan Che nodded seriously.
It seemed this was related to the notebook she had been studying carefully before.
Anything that would make Lili Zi proactively say “important” regarding cultivation was definitely more than just those three words implied.
He made sure to remember this matter firmly.
As he watched Lili Zi open her door and go home, Akatsuki Ran’s ethereal voice suddenly came from behind Shangshan Che,
“So you live here, Shangshan Jun. I’ll remember this…”
Shangshan Che immediately got goosebumps on his back—It’s bad, I’ve been targeted by a perverted woman.
He had wanted to say that if she dared to come looking for him, he’d beat her until she couldn’t get up.
But after a moment of thought, Shangshan Che realized that perhaps Akatsuki Ran was precisely looking for that.
Wouldn’t that mean he would fall into her trap and satisfy her?
Given Akatsuki Ran’s insidious assassination tactics in the True Sword Match, where she set up one trap after another, this thought held considerable credibility.
Therefore, Shangshan Che pretended not to hear her, turned his head, and ignored Akatsuki Ran, who was standing right next to him.
Next, the overloaded van rumbled to the entrance of the Special Affairs Office and was allowed into the parking lot by the stunned security guard.
Upon arriving at the Special Affairs Office, those who were summoned by Nanjo Emi to watch the True Sword Match immediately dispersed.
—They already had their own tasks and cultivation to complete.
Makiya Hitomi and Hattori Ayako went to study Onmyōdō together; Akechi Yuya, after bowing to Shangshan Che again, said he needed to gain more combat experience; the three burly agents had to report to their direct superior; Shizuma Manatsu had to submit accumulated reports for Nanjo Emi as usual.
Thus, in just a moment, the area around the van became deserted.
Seeing this, Nanjō nudged the Nure-onna, who was still playing solo, and took her phone from her trembling hand, saving her from the fate of kneeling on a washboard again.
The Nure-onna let out a deep sigh, tearfully hugged Nanjō, and held her tightly in her expansive embrace.
“Let’s go.”
Nanjo Emi, with a Little Hiyori Bo on her head, waved at them.
Shangshan Che, hearing the footsteps following behind him, couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Akatsuki, why are you following me?”
Akatsuki Ran replied in a surprisingly normal tone, “Aren’t I getting familiar with the daily work environment with my future leader?”
Shangshan Che pondered her words and realized she wasn’t wrong about this.
Doesn’t that make me seem like I was overthinking things?
Tsk, forget it.
I can’t be bothered with her.
If Akatsuki Ran really tries to act out in the future, I’ll beat her up first and then have Nanjō produce anesthetic to sedate her.
Anyway, whether Akatsuki Ran feels pain or pleasure when beaten is none of his concern…
With this mindset, Shangshan Che followed behind Nanjo Emi. After passing through layers of strict verification, they arrived in front of the room where the demons and monsters prepared for him were confined.
At the doorway, a person sat who was somewhat unexpected.
Kujo Tsubaki.
Kujo Tsubaki had already regrown her arm and was sitting on a cheap plastic stool, her blind cane resting within reach to her right.
She was currently holding a thick book, her fingertips slowly moving as she “read” it.
Nanjo Emi squatted down slightly and touched her own ID card and a special access card to Kujo Tsubaki’s hand.
“Ms. Kujo, please open the door.”
“Certainly.”
Kujo Tsubaki smiled slightly, stood up, carefully placed the book on the chair, swiped both cards, and then took out her own ID card from her inner lining to unlock the access control.
The three small Shikigami were left outside to prevent any unknown reasons from agitating the demons confined within.
“Alright, you can all come in now.”
As soon as Kujo Tsubaki finished speaking, she seemed to sense Shangshan Che’s curious gaze.
She pointed to the book and explained, “I have nothing else to do, so I’m keeping an eye on the door and also reading some documents I brought from nearby.”
Documents?
He subconsciously asked, “What kind of documents would the Special Affairs Office have? About modern supernatural phenomena?”
“—Modern, recent, ancient, prehistoric. History since the beginning of time is stored in document form in the Special Affairs Office’s archives, though most of it is fragmented or incomplete,”
Nanjo Emi replied casually from ahead, “Information about the Eight Sufferings and Ai Bieli, for example, is also recorded.”
Ancient.
Doesn’t that mean that there should be many events from as far back as the Sengoku Period recorded and stored in the archives?
Especially regarding obvious Supernatural Events like the “Mikawa Region Uprising caused by a Great Demon’s mischief.”
This is much more reliable than Wikipedia!
Shangshan Che’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, “Sister Nanjo, there’s some information I want to find. Can I look around later?”
“If you submit an application upstairs, you can go right away, but you can only go to where the normal documents are stored on the 【First Floor】.”
“That’s enough.”
Nanjo Emi led him into a slightly narrow aisle and pointed to several rooms ahead, enclosed by special alloy and thick single-pane glass, saying,
“These are the demons the Special Affairs Office has collected in the past few days. Take a look.”
The possibility of contracting a new Shikigami…
Shangshan Che clenched his fist and looked at the first room.
He suddenly fell silent.
Because, in the room stood a burly demon with its limbs bound by thick iron chains, two horns on its head, wearing a ferocious blood-colored mask, and occasionally letting out low growls.
—【Red Hannya（ Three-Star）】.
Skip this one.
Shangshan Che didn’t want a Shikigami that had the exact same positioning as his Incarnation but was inferior to him in all aspects.
That would be completely meaningless.
He continued to the next room.
Inside the room, a massive, white-furred giant dog was lying down.
It seemed to sense an unseen gaze and thus revealed its fierce, blood-red eyes.
The Inugami first pretended not to be awake, cleverly glanced around twice, and only after seeing no one bared its fangs at an imaginary enemy.
—【Inugami（ Two-Star）】
This Inugami seemed to have considerable intelligence, but its strength was a bit lacking.
Shangshan Che thought that with its Two-Star strength, it probably couldn’t even defeat the Koma-inu Kumigashira he could summon with his bell.
Moreover, the Inugami was a tanky, close-combat type demon, not good for support.
Shangshan Che still wanted to find a Shikigami that could provide crowd control and support for him and Nanjō.
—Perhaps the Hundred-Eyed Demon Incarnation later could do this, but he couldn’t maintain that Incarnation all the time.
“There are two more rooms.”
Shangshan Che walked to the center of the last two rooms and first looked to the left.
Then, a grotesque demon with an upper body of wide, staring eyeballs and drooling mouth, and human legs for its lower body, came into view.
—【Mermaid（ Three-Star）】.
This appearance was too damn ugly.
And it looked quite unintelligent.
Although it had Three-Star strength, Shangshan Che suspected Akatsuki Ran behind him could defeat it within ten moves.
At this point, Nanjo Emi said, “This Mermaid might fit your requirements. It has Three-Star strength, its talent is water-related and can slow down others’ movement speed, and its intelligence is about that of a five-year-old child.”
“But it also has drawbacks. First, its appearance. Second… its potential seems to cap at Three-Star. We’ve barely seen any Three-and-a-half Star Mermaids.”
Nanjo Emi’s words made Shangshan Che somewhat tempted.
Although this Mermaid’s appearance wasn’t great, he was a hardcore strength player. An ugly appearance was fine!
“It’s a pity it’s only Three-Star.”
Shangshan Che shook his head regretfully. If he had multiple Familiar items, he could naturally contract this Mermaid to tide him over.
But he currently only had one “Universal Familiar” obtained with great difficulty from a quest in Aragawa Ghost Village, so he couldn’t use it on this ordinary, unremarkable Mermaid.
He rubbed his temples and turned to the last room on the left.
Then, his eyes lit up!
Because, in the last room, stood a great blue heron nearly a meter tall, with a sharp beak and feathers shining brilliantly.
Furthermore, bluish-blue flames surged all over its body, slowly distorting the surrounding air.
—【Azure Heron Fire（ Three-and-a-half Star）】.
Shangshan Che asked with some surprise, “Sister Nanjo, this Azure Heron Fire…”
“This Azure Heron Fire does indeed meet your requirements in every aspect,” Nanjo Emi also sighed. “But it went mad as soon as it was captured.”
“If you can tolerate it attacking indiscriminately during combat, then contracting this Azure Heron Fire might not be impossible.”
Shangshan Che’s brow twitched upon hearing this.
Good heavens, the one that best fit his criteria had a problem with its brain.
It seemed this Universal Familiar would have to remain in his Storage Bag for a while longer.
“The number of Onmyoji is exploding exponentially now, and Shikigami are actually quite a scarce resource.”
Nanjo Emi was also quite helpless.
“Basically, any demon with potential is either captured and contracted on the spot, or killed, or it escapes.”
She said, “Demons that are filtered through layers and sent to the Special Affairs Office are definitely less than ideal in some way.”
Shangshan Che: “I understand.”
He said to Nanjo Emi with some helplessness, “So, please take me to find that craftsman next.”
“A small matter, follow me.”
Nanjo Emi turned around and walked out with a clatter of her leather shoes.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a sealed room from which the sounds of blacksmithing, “ding ding dong dong,” continuously emanated.
Nanjo Emi swiped her ID card.
Then, the embedded door slid open to both sides, and an astonishing wave of heat hit Shangshan Che’s face.
Another big update today, please give me your monthly votes, meow!
