Chapter 64 I'm so Cute
After patiently showing Shangshan Zhi around the ten famous swords in the family's sword storage room, Shangshan Yue came to a conclusion.
...The other party was just teasing him on purpose.
"My aunt, just tell me, what sword do you want?"
After the other party denied the famous sword [Xuezou] in front of him for the thirteenth time on the grounds that she was afraid of the cold, Shangshan Yue stopped and looked at the other party helplessly.
The thirteen famous swords he showed the other party before, no matter which one it was, could be sold at a sky-high price, but in the other party's case, there was not a single one that could catch the other party's eye.
"Well... I think only the one that suits you is the best, what do you think, old man?"
After thinking for a while, Mu Qingzhi looked serious.
"So in summary, I think it's better for me to tailor a sword that suits me..."
"You want to use your ability again?"
Before she finished speaking, Shangshan Yue frowned and interrupted her.
"Although that ability is magical, it is an external thing after all. It is best not to rely on it too much... If you want to use that ability, at least you have to wait until you grow again."
Mu Qingzhi: "..."
Nine years ago, for Yuan Zhisheng... or more accurately, for Uesugi Eri, she made three recovery serums.
But the sequelae of making those serums were too serious, and she had not grown in the past nine years, which successfully made Uesugi Yue misunderstand the nature of her ability.
For a long time, Uesugi Yue thought that the reason why she did not grow was because of the side effects of that ability, so even if the development of the [Universal Hands] ability could bring great value to the Eight Snakes, the other party still strongly opposed her using that ability.
The quality of Zhidian Zana is gold. If you want to make this special weapon for Shana, you must use the top-level materials.
——These things cannot be obtained by her alone.
"Uh... If I say I've grown taller now, would you believe me?"
"The length of the ahoge doesn't count."
As if he had seen through her long ago, Shangshan Yue glanced at her.
Mu Qingzhi: "..."
"The quality of these alchemical weapons is no worse than what you made, there's no need to take that risk."
Shaking his head slightly, Shangshan Yue took down the [Snow Walk] beside him, and then drew the sword directly out of the sheath.
The moment the Snow Walk was out of the sheath, the surrounding temperature dropped instantly, and a wisp of cold air could be vaguely seen condensing on the blade.
"What do you think? Think about it."
Weighing the knife in his hand, Shangshan Yue looked at her.
"The [Snow Walk] knife is indeed not suitable for you, but the Spider Cut and An Gang Cut should be very suitable."
"But I think there is only one knife that suits me...I know what you are worried about, old man, but I am no longer the same as before."
With a sigh in his mouth, Mu Qingzhi pointed at himself with his backhand.
"It's just a knife tailor-made for me. There won't be too many side effects."
"………"
"Really, I promise!!"
"…Tell me, what materials do you need?"
After a long silence, Uesugi Yue sighed.
"Also, don't think about confronting her…Eri, she is not something you can deal with now."
Some things don't need to be said in too much detail.
…Is the Execution Bureau really short of people to the extent that Gen Chisheng needs to drop out of school to fill in?
Not necessarily.
Letting Gen Chisheng join the Execution Bureau is more of a bait for the other party. After all, the most business of the Execution Bureau is to hunt down those fallen ghosts, and they are also the most likely to run into those fierce ghosts.
As long as Gen Chisheng can make a name for himself in the Execution Bureau, there is a great possibility that he will lure Eri out. Facing the existence of Eri, other Execution Bureau commissioners will die if they encounter it, and only people like Gen Chisheng who inherit the royal blood can survive.
...To be honest, if the Eight Snakes were not determined to completely destroy the fierce ghosts this time, Eri might not have appeared.
They have been waiting for nine years and have been looking for nine years. They don't have the patience to wait for another nine years.
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Waving her hand, Mu Qingzhi looked confident.
"After I join the Execution Bureau, I promise to find Eri within a month."
……………………………………
Uesugi Yue has always been a man of swift action.
That afternoon, Mu Qingzhi, Jude Mai and Crow received the employment certificate of the Execution Bureau.
As for Jude Aki, unlike her sister Jude Mai, she has been going to school and living an ordinary life all these years, so Mu Qingzhi didn't want to involve her and directly skipped her.
Although they have joined the Execution Bureau, so far, the three of them are still at the bottom of the Execution Bureau. If they want to climb up all the way, they have to show their achievements and merits.
——This point is the same for everyone.
Like Yuan Zhisheng in the original plot, he was able to reach the position of Director of the Executive Bureau by slowly gaining experience from the bottom.
In the room, looking at himself in the mirror in front of him, Mu Qingzhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After she joined the Executive Bureau, the corresponding uniforms were also distributed. In fact, there was no big standard for uniforms. The only standard was a long black windbreaker.
She had prepared herself to wait for half a day, but she didn't expect that the Executive Bureau actually had uniforms of her size...
"...Looks okay?"
After carefully looking at herself in the mirror, Mu Qingzhi touched her chin with a thoughtful look.
[Just barely, so-so. ]
At the right time, the system's voice sounded in her heart.
[Speaking of which, the host seems to have adapted to the skirt. ]
"What do you mean by adaptation? Skirts were originally invented for men, okay? If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself."
Pouting, while responding casually in her heart, Mu Qingzhi posed in front of the mirror for a few poses.
——As the saying goes, habit becomes nature. The long time of nine years before and after was enough to eliminate some of the small grudges in her heart.
I have to say that the clothes of the Executive Bureau stand out for their handsomeness.
"Look, I'm so cute."
Looking at herself in the mirror in front of her, with her hands on her waist, Mu Qingzhi looked solemn.
Jiude Mai pushed the door open at the same time: "………"
ps: Good morning… I'm exhausted.
